Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1999 The Diligence Level of the Dark Elves

Although the new district only includes eight cities, the total area is quite large.

Under this premise, the city's construction has basically been finalized, and unless Zhou Xu undertakes large-scale reconstruction in the later period, it will be difficult to change the original pattern.

However, as things stand, adjustments are definitely necessary, but large-scale renovations would be too costly, and Zhou Xu has no plans to do so for the next ten or twenty years.

This means that the newly identified railway line will inevitably take a detour and will basically not be able to follow a straight line.

The advantage is that once they sit on the train, they don't have to worry about anything else; the journey takes only four days.

Taking the train is only exciting at first; after all, it's essentially a boring process.

On their second train ride, the dark elves' attention was no longer on the train itself.

When they first boarded the train, they were all chatting enthusiastically.

After an hour on the train, I can still say a few words about the scenery along the way.

But after two or three hours on the train, the carriage became noticeably quieter. Some of the dark elves started to space out, while others simply went to sleep.

In this situation, taking a four-day train journey would be a torment for most passengers.

After sitting still for two days, Ereda was clearly getting restless.

His gaze then unconsciously fell on Zhou Xu, who had been meditating for most of the time after getting on the bus.

For some reason, he began to understand why Zhou Xu was so strong.

For Zhou Xu, who spends all his time meditating, the train journey was not long; time passed quietly during the journey.

Ereda's surprise grew over time, gradually turning into disbelief.

This was really beyond his expectations.

"How about I practice a little bit myself?"

Then I realized we had arrived at our destination...

Even among the elves, the dark elves, who are considered to be relatively ambitious, are only relatively diligent; frankly, they are only successful because of the other elves.

Zhou Xu was not surprised at all during this process.

During their brief encounter, he gained a general understanding of the dark elves' situation.

Dark elves are essentially the kind of people who set aside one to two hours each day for reading and studying. They start studying when the time is up, but they never take the initiative to study at other times.

For example, when taking a long-distance bus, the situation is similar to now. There is plenty of time on the bus, and truly diligent people will use this time to read books and do exercises.

But they will never learn; they will just keep scrolling through their phones until they get tired and then go to sleep.

During this time, I might occasionally have the thought of 'Should I read a book for a while?', but in the end I would never open it, or I would symbolically open it and then continue scrolling on my phone.

In fact, if anything else happens during the one or two hours he has allotted for his study, he will immediately cancel his study plan.

Can you call this kind of person diligent and eager to learn?

You're better than those who don't learn anything and just coast along, but you're still far from truly putting in the effort.

The dark elves were roughly at this level.

Even under these circumstances, Ereda was able to cultivate to the second level of the Gold Realm, which can only be attributed to the combined advantages of her talent and class.

At the same time, it is fortunate that the elves are born extraordinary beings, and with their long natural lifespan, their starting point is much higher than that of the human race. If it were a human, following this training method, even a five-star would be half wasted.

As they stepped off the train station, they were already outside the border outpost.

No sooner had Zhou Xu stepped off the carriage than a celestial horse galloped from the distant sky and landed steadily outside the station. Dressed in military uniform, Yarvet looked dashing. She dismounted and, upon seeing Zhou Xu, a smile immediately appeared on her face.

No words were needed; the couple exchanged a smile, and Zhou Xu then introduced Ereda. "This is my wife, Yarvit, the fiercest warrior of our Great Zhou. From now on, you will be under her command."

Even before setting off from Dark Spirit Island, Zhou Xu had already confirmed Eredar and the others' intentions.

Needless to say, they all chose to join the army.

This was in line with Zhou Xu's expectations.

Placing Eredar and his group on this side of the border not only increases the fighting strength on this side and further defends against the Orc Alliance, but also allows Yarvit to keep Eredar in check. This arrangement is suitable from all aspects.

As Zhou Xu introduced Jarvit, Ereda had already keenly sensed the powerful aura emanating from Jarvit.

[Another one who has reached the highest level of mastery.]

Zhou Xu said that the other party was the number one fierce general of the Great Zhou, a statement that made Ereda doubtful.

In Ereda's view, although Yarvit was strong, she was probably only about the same strength as herself. Even if she was strong, her strength was limited. If they really fought, it was uncertain who would win.

The warlike genes in his bones stirred a fighting spirit within Ereda.

Perhaps noticing this, Zhou Xu smiled and reminded him...

"Don't challenge Jarvit lightly, you'll die."

"..."

Ereda was visibly stunned upon hearing this, but from Zhou Xu's eyes, he could tell that the other party was not joking with him.

Zhou Xu was certainly not joking. At the same level, the Jarvet with Gungnir in hand is a strategic weapon.

If it really came down to a fight, even I would have to back down, let alone Eredar, who would most likely be instantly killed.

Considering this tactic, it's perfectly reasonable to say that Yarvet is the number one warrior of their Great Zhou.

He had never fought Yarvit, but he had a deep understanding of Zhou Xu's strength.

At this moment, feeling Zhou Xu's serious gaze, the fighting spirit in his heart immediately subsided a bit.

He's just belligerent, not a masochist.

Not to mention that His Majesty had clearly told him that his life was in danger.

Seeing Ereda's obvious restraint, Zhou Xu smiled. Clearly, he didn't want any accidents to happen either.

The group traveled smoothly and quickly entered the military region.

As an important stronghold bordering the Orc Alliance, the construction of this military region has undoubtedly been a key project for the Great Zhou Dynasty in recent years.

In addition to the front-line defenses, all the military camp facilities for the soldiers' daily life and training have been arranged in the rear.

Upon receiving the news, Xie Liancheng and Zhou Chongshan, who had just finished their morning training, eagerly came to greet them.

"This humble general, Jie Liancheng (Zhou Chongshan), pays his respects to Your Majesty!"

Needless to say, Zhou Xu gave another introduction.

Ereda, as usual, assessed Jie Liancheng and Zhou Chongshan based on their strength.

Two peak Vajra Realm cultivators?

Ultimately, there was no formal confrontation, and Eredar did not have the blessing of the relevant mantra. Even though the senses of a martial artist in the Realm of Horizontal and Vertical are sharp, judging based on this alone, they can only make a rough estimate at most.

To get a precise conclusion, we still have to fight it.
