Chapter 1494: The Altar Temple and Night God

"Brother Mingyun, I'm back!"

Around noon, Wangcai trotted back to the villa.

Zhao Xun was swimming at the moment. When he heard Wangcai's voice, he came out of the swimming pool and asked in a friendly voice, "Wangcai, have you found a guide?"

"Yes, I found a guide who is willing to take us around Drow City. The price he offered is reasonable, so I think we can give it a try."

"Well, in that case, let's give it a try. By the way, Wangcai, have you explained to him clearly what we want? We want him to know more about the history, culture and customs of this place."

"Don't worry, Brother Mingyun. I have said everything I need to say. It can be said that it is foolproof."

At this time, Wangcai patted his chest and made the assurance confidently.

In his opinion, there are many things that can be done nowadays, and only by grasping the details can everyone be satisfied.

"In fact, this seems to be the most reasonable model now. Then let us ask him to introduce Zall City."

Zhao Xun still trusts Wangcai more.

Since Wangcai guaranteed that there was no problem, Zhao Xun should choose to believe it.

"In fact, it seems that things are not that complicated now. What we need to do is to slowly understand this city. Everything has a process. Maybe you will feel a little uncomfortable at the beginning. But after a while, you will feel it is okay."

"Well, if that's the case, let's do it this way."

"Look, everyone. This temple is the oldest building in Zhuoer City. It can be traced back a thousand years ago. The ruler at that time built a brand new city here, and because he believed in Buddhism, he also built a Buddhist temple."

"This temple is actually a thousand years old? It's incredible."

Zhao Xun was still very surprised after hearing this.

"Yes, this temple has the same long history as this city, and is the pride of us drow."

"There have been many wars here, but we were able to hold on. On the one hand, it's because we are very powerful. On the other hand, it's because of the Buddha's blessing."

When Zhao Xun heard this, he thought to himself, it seems that the people in Zhuoer City are quite devout believers in Buddhism.

"Have you ever thought about how to develop in the next period of time? It seems that it is difficult to support the growing population in a small corner."

"We are planning to expand to the west. But there is also a very powerful nomadic tribe in the west. Their strength is not weak. If we attack rashly, we may get burned."

The guide explained: "What we drow have to do is to ensure that there are no mistakes. We will not act blindly before ensuring this. Because once we act blindly, we will have to bear the consequences ourselves. There are some things we cannot afford. In this case, we might as well think twice before acting. This can at least effectively reduce some risks. We can still reach a consensus on this."

Zhao Xun nodded when he heard this.

"That does seem to be the case. But besides this nomadic tribe, you probably have other people to deal with. I see a lot of altar-like things built in the city."

Zhao Xun's observation can be described as extremely meticulous.

He is always able to capture some details keenly.

"Yes, there is a legend here that the Night God will come to the world and take away many lives. In order to be able to defeat the Night God, we will make many choices. Some of these choices are very beneficial, while others are not. So if we want to truly prevent the Night God from coming, the simplest way is to use the altar to exorcise the devil. As long as we make full use of the altar, we can maximize the impact on the Night God, and he will not dare to come easily."

The guide was very proud when talking about this.

"Oh? Then this altar looks like it has a lot of subtle things."

"Yes, there is a kind of holy light in the altar, which can eliminate the influence of the enemy to the greatest extent. Especially Night God. When Night God feels the holy light, his magic power will be restricted to the greatest extent. This can be regarded as the most perfect for us."

The guide paused for a moment, then continued, "So we build an altar every other street. The distance between the altars is very particular and must not exceed this distance, otherwise problems will easily arise. For our current situation, if we want to truly solve the problem, we must take all situations into consideration from the beginning. If we make adjustments after problems really arise, it will definitely be too late."

The guide's ideas are extremely clear.

Zhao Xun was also shocked after hearing it.

No wonder he felt that the people here were very confident after entering Zhuoer City. It turned out that they had a strong feeling in their bones.

So in this case, what they have to do is to integrate into the lives of the local people.

If we can do this, life in Zhuoer City will be very interesting.

"Did this Night God really appear?"

Zhao Xun was obviously very interested in Ye Shen.

At least at this stage, they can do their best to get the details right.

This way there won't be that many problems.

"Well, I haven't seen it. But from what the older generation has said and from the legends, I can see traces of the Night God's appearance."

The guide did not brag, but said seriously: "But we all believe in tradition. So we believe that the Night God really existed. That is to say, in the future we may suffer the hardships that our ancestors suffered. So we must be prepared from the beginning and must not be affected emotionally. Otherwise, it is really possible to cause a series of problems. But we are doing very well now. At least I think so."

"Besides the altar, do you have anything else to defend against the Night God?"

Zhao Xun felt that if they only relied on the altar, they would not be able to completely resist the Night God.

"Yes, we still have a temple. Our gods are enshrined in the temple. If it really comes to a life-and-death moment, our gods will protect us."

The guide said very proudly at this time.

"A god?"

Zhao Xun was really surprised.

"Is it that great?"

"Of course. Our god will definitely protect us. No matter what the circumstances, he will not abandon us. So we will do our best to cooperate with the god. In this way, we can guarantee our own safety to the greatest extent."

"I see."

Zhao Xun nodded and said with a smile: "In that case, you really need to adjust your state. After all, only when you and the gods reach a state of mutual trust can you resist the Night God."

"Besides these buildings, do you have anything new?"

"We have built a small pyramid near the four city gates in the southeast, northwest and northeast. The pyramids are used to deter evil spirits." The guide thought for a moment and then said seriously: "So we will try our best to restrict the opponent's movement in this way. In this way, ordinary enemies will not dare to approach our city."

Zhao Xun nodded slightly.

It seems that Zhuoer City is not as stable as he imagined. To some extent, Zhuoer City is still facing certain threats.

It’s just that the locals are very confident and use their own way to scare away evil spirits.

In this way, evil spirits in the general sense will not dare to approach.

Of course, there will be some top-level demons approaching Drow City, but they are not something that ordinary people can deal with.

In this situation, a savior is usually needed.

"Besides that, there are some palaces. Most of these palaces are in ruins. Because we don't have a king now, we only have guardians."

"protector?"

"Yes, you can also think of him as the king, but the guardian cannot be hereditary. Instead, he is elected by all drow. This means that we can choose to replace the guardian if he cannot satisfy us."

"So the palace is totally uninhabited right now?"

"Yes, the palace is now a place for everyone to see. But there is actually nothing to see. If you want to see it, I can take you there."

Wangcai interrupted at this time: "Then let's go and take a look. It would be a pity if we don't go and take a look now that we are here."

"Okay, then I'll take you there. But that area is where the nobles gather. You mustn't talk nonsense, otherwise I can't protect you."

At this moment the guide gave a kind advice.

"Don't worry. There shouldn't be any big problems next. We can still control ourselves."

Wangcai said very confidently.

When the guide brought the academy group to the vicinity of the palace complex, they all exclaimed.

"These palaces are so magnificent. I feel they are no worse than the Daming Palace."

"Yes, the palaces in the Great Zhou world have no obvious advantages over them. I never thought that a palace in Zhuoer City would be so magnificent."

Hearing this, the guide raised his head proudly.

"These are just ruined palaces. They were much more magnificent in their heyday. We drow were once overlords. Caravans from the south and the north had to pass through us, and the taxes we collected were enough for us to build these palaces."

"What then?"

"Later, of course, it was because the Night God appeared frequently that the caravans chose to take a detour. As the number of caravans passing by our place decreased, the taxes we could collect also decreased. So, in the end, the palace fell into decline."

After listening to this, Zhao Xun felt that there was no major logical problem.

"So you still have to resist the invasion of the Night God for a period of time, otherwise Zhuoer City will continue to decline."

After saying goodbye to the guide, Zhao Xun and his party returned to the villa.

"I didn't expect such a small town to have such a history. This is really something I didn't expect."

Zhao Xun was still deeply shocked at this time.

Even Wangcai said with emotion: "So we really need to go out more often. Otherwise, we really don't know how vast the world is. Sometimes when you experience enough things, you will realize how narrow your previous knowledge was."

"Yes. I think this Drow City is quite interesting. So we will probably stay here for some time in the future. I want to learn more about this city. In this way, I will have many new insights. This is also crucial for our future. We need to keep exploring to enrich our knowledge, rather than limiting our knowledge to a certain area."

"But let's just enjoy the present moment. Junior brother, let's go to the hot springs. I heard that the hot springs in Zhuoer City are unique, I must try them."

Third senior brother Long Qingquan said excitedly.

When it comes to liking hot spring baths, the third senior brother Long Qingquan is definitely at the top of the list.

When they were in Zhongnan Mountain, the third senior brother Long Qingquan often took a hot spring bath alone.

For him, once he has enjoyed this feeling, there is no going back.

Now that he has moved to a brand new environment, the third senior brother Long Qingquan also hopes to experience a different feeling.

"Okay. Let's try it then."

Zhao Xun naturally would not spoil the fun at this time, but agreed without hesitation.

Anyway, in his opinion, the current state depends on whether one has a sense of relaxation.

Most problems can be alleviated simply by feeling relaxed.

For Zhao Xun, everything now is really important.

"It's so comfortable. Junior brother, let me tell you, the hot springs here are unique. I just felt an extremely refreshing feeling after I soaked in it. It's difficult for ordinary people to understand this feeling."

"Indeed, I haven't felt such a comfortable feeling in a long time. It's as if my whole body has been sublimated."

It turned out that what Third Senior Brother Long Qingquan said was true.

This feeling is really refreshing.

"Well, so we must soak in the hot springs more often next time. After all, this is a private hot spring, and it is also a supporting facility of this villa. It would be a real loss if we don't enjoy it."

The third senior brother, Long Qingquan, is the most shrewd and will naturally not miss any supporting facilities.

In his opinion, the most important thing is to enjoy life to the maximum extent.

"In fact, it seems that everything is under our control now. Even if the Night God really comes, we can deal with it later. But at least now we can enjoy it without any worries. Life is like this. Don't worry about things that haven't happened yet. That would be meaningless."

Wangcai said confidently, "Brother Mingyun, let's just relax and enjoy life from now on. This place is even more comfortable than a seaside town or a desert oasis. I feel really relaxed. This feeling is simply perfect."
