Electromagnetic Tyrant

Chapter 117 Stowaway

Ji Xinghuo strolled in the Lower City of Clouds, the streets were wide and flat, bustling with people, with various shops and high-rise residences on both sides.

If you don't look at the appearance of the pedestrians, it feels similar to the cities on the earth in the astral world.

Yi people like to be tall, so they build their houses very high. There are dozens of buildings in rows, and there are many flowers and trees planted between the high and low floors, just like sky gardens.

The entire Lower Cloud City is in this style, where nature and architecture are combined, and it is refreshing to walk through it.

Pedestrians on the street come in all shapes and sizes.

Ji Xinghuo saw many races that he had never seen before, as well as several other aliens in Qianfengyuan Forest.

But most of them are Yiren and Terran.

The appearance of the earthlings is very similar to that of the people of the astral world. There is nothing unique about the facial features, figure, and temperament, and the overall is relatively mediocre.As long as you don't say that you are an alien, others will definitely misunderstand the earthlings as a human subspecies.

Therefore, it also saves a lot of trouble. After all, aliens are more conspicuous in the astral world.

There is no public transportation system in Cloud City, and the Wingmen do not study steam technology. People go out either by flying or riding.

Ji Xinghuo rode a silver-winged Pegasus, walking on the street without being conspicuous at all.

Not long after he entered the city, he saw several people riding silver-winged flying horses like himself, and various mounts, flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water, he couldn't recognize them all.

Order in the city is good.

Every few minutes, the Winged City Guards would fly overhead. Occasionally, when there was a conflict, the Winged Guards would descend from the sky immediately, admonishing them and killing them on the spot.

After wandering around the city for over an hour, Ji Xinghuo opened his eyes.

Down in the Clouds gave him the feeling that it was both novel and familiar, with a primitive and barbaric look, but also advanced that technology could not achieve.

All rivers and rivers are inclusive here, and all foreign races are welcome.

But there is a strict hierarchy, and the Yiren are the absolute ruling class.

Ji Xinghuo turned on the magnetic field sensing almost all the time, scanning everything around him, and suddenly his face showed a bit of surprise.

He turned his horse's head, turned to another street, and soon arrived at a hotel.

There are many kinds of words on the signboard at the door.

These include familiar Chinese characters, as well as several major languages ​​on the planet.

"The Man in the Cloud."

Ji Xinghuo's magnetic field has already scanned the entire hotel, the area is not big, this ten-storey building, from the first floor to the fifth floor, has been transformed into a hotel layout on the earth, there are not many guests inside, only a few dozen but they are all Earthlings.

As he approached the hotel, the waiter at the door saw Ji Xinghuo's appearance, his eyes lit up immediately.

"Guest, do you need to stay in the hotel?"

Hearing Ya Gong's language, Ji Xinghuo suddenly felt very friendly, nodded and said: "Yes." He got off the horse and handed the rein to the other party, "Please take care of it."

The mount is very convenient to go out, but it is troublesome to take care of when it is not in use.

The more expensive the mount, the harder it is to get it.

So it's not that many aliens can't afford flying mounts, but they don't want to carry a burden that won't help them in battle, and they can't just throw them away. If they die accidentally, they will lose a lot of money.

"Please don't worry, our hotel has a dedicated mount breeder with rich experience, and we promise to take good care of your Pegasus." The waiter responded, patting his chest.

"That's good."

Ji Xinghuo walked into the lobby of Manke in the Cloud, and a woman who was obviously the manager of the lobby had heard the voice and came out with a smile on her face.

She looks more than 30 years old, with a capable and delicate appearance, and her name is pasted on the left chest.

Ji Xinghuo took a look, the other party was called Jiang Wei.

Judging by the strength of the magnetic field and the fluctuation of ether energy, she should be a high-level alien with good strength.

"Hi, honored guest." Jiang Wei said enthusiastically, "May I ask your surname?"

"Xin Liaoyuan."

Ji Xinghuo casually said a customary pseudonym, there is no need to reveal his real identity in Cloud City.

Jiang Wei didn't ask too much, and quickly registered him for the accommodation, and then personally sent her upstairs to the guest room, and introduced the hotel's services, which were no different from those on Earth.

"Manager Jiang." Ji Xinghuo asked, "When is Queen Lingqi's birthday celebration?"

"Xiyue 19th." Jiang Wei replied.

Ji Xinghuo made a calculation, that is, there are still twelve days left, and before the end of the Yuanshou celebration, he will enter the cloud city in the sky to investigate the situation of the thing that is connected with the Vientiane Xingtong.

However, it is not good to ask immediately.

Jiang Wei didn't know what Ji Xinghuo was thinking, so she took the initiative to introduce some Yuanshou celebration activities to him, which started half a month before the celebration, such as the flying skills competition, the Colosseum, the martial arts battle, theatrical dance performances, and the Feather Lantern Festival etc.

On the day of the Yuanshou celebration, there will be a grand birthday celebration parade in the upper and lower parts of the sky, which is very lively.

Queen Lingqi will appear at the ceremony to receive congratulations and gifts from her subjects and guests from all walks of life.

It is said that many Yiren families have prepared many precious treasures in order to please the queen, and there will be a gift offering link.

"Gift..."

Ji Xinghuo's heart sank.

Wouldn't the thing I wanted be one of the treasures to be offered?
If Queen Lingqi discerned the bead with discerning eyes, saw something extraordinary, and finally fell into her hands, it would be almost impossible for him to get it.

"Thank you, Manager Jiang."

Ji Xinghuo kept his expression on his face, and after thinking about it, he asked: "I originally came out to explore the star world, and I happened to know about Queen Lingqi's Yuanshou celebration, so I came here to join in the fun. I didn't know until I arrived in Yunxiao City. If you can’t enter the Sky City, I wonder if you have a way?”

Jiang Wei's expression changed, "It is difficult for outsiders to obtain the qualifications to enter Sky City."

"There is always a way?" Ji Xinghuo said with a smile.

Jiang Wei glanced at him meaningfully, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said: "The risk is high, the price is high, and there is no guarantee of success."

Ji Xinghuo took out some cash and handed it to her.

Each has a face value of 50 Asian dollars, a total of [-].

"Please, Manager Jiang, help me find a way out." Ji Xinghuo heard that there was something going on, and made a generous offer, "This is for Manager Jiang's hard work. If I can enter the upper city, the reward will be doubled."

Looking at the cash in her hand, Jiang Wei couldn't refuse, "Mr. Xin, please wait for two days."

"it is good."

Ji Xinghuo sent her out, walked to the balcony and watched the scenery on the street.

In the magnetic field induction, Jiang Wei returned to the hotel lobby and called a hotel waiter, whispered a few words, and the waiter rode a horse and left the hotel.Ji Xinghuo followed the waiter, and soon ran out of the range of the magnetic field induction, and could not be found.

"I hope she can really find a way." Ji Xinghuo muttered, and lay down on the bed to rest.

This wait is more than ten hours.

night.

The night turned into a starry night, and everywhere in the city lit up.The trees planted on the street and the various flowers and plants on the floors are all fluorescent plants, which release the energy absorbed during the day at night, and are colorful. Compared with the bustling cities on the earth, they have a fantastic view.

After dinner, Ji Xinghuo was playing with Qinghong in the room, when the magnetic field sensor sensed Jiang Wei coming up, so he put Qinghong away.

After a knock, he opened the door.

"Manager Jiang."

"Mr. Xin's luck is good." Jiang Wei whispered: "I asked someone to find a way out. It was just a try. I didn't expect to get a reply soon, but you need to talk to the other party yourself."

Ji Xinghuo asked: "Now?"

"Yes."

Jiang Wei explained carefully: "The other party is a Yiren, and I have some friendship with me. She was born in a noble family of Yiren, and opened a restaurant in the upper city. Every few days, she would go to the lower city to purchase ingredients. In the name of employees, bring people uptown."

This is obviously not a formal channel.

"Can you trust it?" Ji Xinghuo asked.

"It's not the first time she has done this kind of thing." Jiang Wei said, "Many people, especially Yiren who admire Shangcheng, are willing to pay some price to visit Shangcheng for a few days. Open one eye and close one eye."

Ji Xinghuo frowned. Officials usually don't care about this kind of gray industry, but when it's time to hold some big event, they will crack down hard first.

Sometimes fishing law enforcement.

Although this is Tianyu Royal Court, it is no different from the earth.

"Now is an extraordinary period, will there be no problems?"

"The news she gave me is that everything is business as usual." Jiang Wei said so, but one can guess from her expression that it is probably just one-sided remarks.

Ji Xinghuo thought for a while, and finally had to give it a try, so he asked, "How does the other party charge?"

"Ten thousand real dragon coins."

A little more expensive than expected.

"Because Mr. Xin is not Yiren, it is more troublesome, so the price is three times more expensive than Yiren." Jiang Wei explained, "If Mr. Xin is acceptable, please go to the other party tomorrow morning, everything goes well, and you should be able to pay in the afternoon. Into the city."

"Thank you."

Ji Xinghuo handed over 50 Asian dollars to Jiang Wei.

She immediately handed over a note with an address written on it, Ji Xinghuo took it over and took a look, the place was not far away.

next morning.

Ji Xinghuo walked out of Yunzhongmanke, and soon arrived at the address on the paper, which was a nearby food market.

He found a shop in the market, entered a hidden room hidden behind the door, and met the winged woman Jiang Wei had mentioned.

In the eyes of human beings, it is impossible to distinguish the beauty and ugliness of Yiren's appearance.

It feels like a bird.

However, clans can be identified by the color of their feathers.

The wingwoman's wings are beautiful, with smooth feathers and colorful patterns, like fine silk fabrics.In the Tianyu Royal Court, this kind of wings symbolizes a noble status, because she is a wingman of the Lingyu clan, and she is from the same clan as Queen Lingqi.

There are hundreds of blood clans in the Yiren, and the Lingyu clan is the most beautiful and the most talented one among them.

"Ms. Yan Kong."

Ji Xinghuo greeted respectfully in the language of the Tian clan.

Yankong has a pair of iris-like round pupils, like the eyes of an eagle. She is wearing a delicate silk gown, and the wrinkles on her claws are deep. It can be seen that she is not young, but she has a pampered posture. She sits there, sweeping lazily. He glanced at Ji Xinghuo.

"Are you the earthling who Jiang Wei introduced to go to the city?" Her tone was somewhat arrogant.

Ji Xinghuo lowered his head and replied, "Yes."

"Well……"

Only then did Yankong take a serious look at Ji Xinghuo, and said with a sneer, "Aliens even want to enter Shangcheng. In this era, no one really dares to look up at the sky."

Looking up at the sky is an adjective in the Tianzu language, similar to a toad wanting to eat swan meat.

Ji Xinghuo was upset and didn't say anything.

"Okay." Yankong waved his right paw, "I know you aliens are all arrogant and think you have grasped the truth of the world."

She stared at Ji Xinghuo, "There is only a deal between us, if you give me money, I will take you into the upper city."

"Did you bring the money?"

Ji Xinghuo silently took out a Golden Dragon coin with a face value of [-].

Yankong's eyes were bright, and he couldn't wait to take the gold dragon coin, admiring the gold coin in his claws, he stopped looking at Ji Xinghuo, and waved his claws: "You go to the back and wait, of course someone will disguise you, and the rules will follow." Tell you clearly."

Ji Xinghuo went out through another door in the room.

Behind it is a large yard, in the middle there is a large cargo compartment like a carriage, and several wingmen are loading baskets of ingredients into it.

A winged woman came over and threw Ji Xinghuo a set of clothes, asking him to change into it.

This is an ordinary cloth, with a colorful feather logo on the collar, cuffs and chest, representing the servant status of the Ayaba clan.

"Go to work." The female winged man commanded unceremoniously.

Ji Xinghuo joined the ranks of carrying ingredients.

Except for him, most of them are Yankong's restaurant staff, and there are also a few winged people and astral people who have just changed their clothes. At first glance, they are outsiders who want to enter the upper city just like themselves.

Soon, the cargo compartment was full.

The Winged Woman blew a whistle, and four huge giant eagles landed, each grabbing a corner of the cargo compartment, and a gust of wind arose as the wings vibrated, and the Winged Woman took off while grabbing the cargo compartment, and the Winged Woman also flew up, commanding The giant eagle flies to Yunxiao City high in the sky.

An hour later, the wingwoman landed again with an empty cargo compartment.

So repeated handling.

Ji Xinghuo worked as a coolie for eight hours. During this period, several people changed into clothes and became Yankong's free porters.

Until the afternoon, the last round of ingredients was finally loaded.

"Go in."

Yan Kong came over and let the staff of Ji Xinghuo Restaurant enter the cargo compartment.

Ji Xinghuo sat next to a basket of vegetables, his body was covered with the smell of various ingredients, he looked no different from a real employee.

The cargo box shook and was caught by the giant eagle and flew up.

Ji Xinghuo watched the ground getting farther and farther away from the place, the outside air was blowing, and the cargo compartment was shaking. The Yi people had long been used to it, and all of them did not change their expressions.

Above the head, the city of the sky is getting bigger and bigger in the field of vision, as if a large shadow is covering the head.

The height rises rapidly.

Ji Xinghuo opened the Vientiane Xingpupil interface, and the arrows changed with his position, and the direction was also constantly rotating, but it was always pointing to the same place.

ten minutes later.

Finally, the cargo compartment rose to the same height as Cloud City, but before it had time to take a closer look at the magnificent landscape of the city in the sky, it landed on a platform at the edge of the city.

With a bang, the cargo box fell to the ground, surrounded by a group of wingman guards in exquisite armor.

In the sky around the platform, groups of royal court guards were hovering.

In Ji Xinghuo's magnetic field induction, he immediately found two legendary powerhouses. He withdrew his eyes and did not dare to look around, playing the role of a restaurant employee well.

　It’s Kawen today, only this chapter, but fortunately, I have sorted out my thoughts, and I will try to resume the third shift tomorrow.
