Chapter 95 Race and Bloodline, Lin Chen Enters the Imperial City!
This was proof of commanding the Jin family army.
Many generals only listened to the orders of those who held the marshal's seal.
Second only to him was Jin Mu.
In addition, Jin Hu also followed Lin Chen to the Imperial Capital.
Jin Hu.
Thirteen years old.
But his height had reached 1.8 meters.
Broad back and thick waist.
Lin Chen learned that this kid was born with supernatural strength.
In addition, Lin Chen also discovered something…
The people of Dragon Spirit Country almost all had some special bloodlines.
For example, the Huo family had the Fire Qilin bloodline.
This was a family inheritance.
Therefore, the bloodline was relatively simple.
But families like the Jin family had more mixed bloodlines.
After all, Jin Qiang started his career by fighting in the army.
Counting it, it was also a bottom-level reversal.
Such families often had mixed bloodlines.
Jin Qiang himself seemed to have awakened the Snow Wolf bloodline.
Jin Mu also had this bloodline.
However, Jin Hu, as the younger brother, had the Battle Tiger bloodline.
The Battle Tiger was an ancient ferocious beast.
Roughly, it was from the same era as a certain species in one of Lin Chen's skills… This species was called the Ancient Divine Elephant.
This would involve some legends about the ancient times.
During the journey, Lin Chen often talked with the two brothers.
In the conversation, Lin Chen learned many stories and legends about the Primordial, Ancient, and Medieval eras.
The people of Dragon Spirit Country were not very strict about the division of these three time periods.
They called the Chaos period the Primordial Era. During this stage, all things in the world were in the early stages of spiritual awakening. In fact, there were no humans in the world. So where did humans come from?
They came from the spiritual transformation of all things.
For example, the Primordial Sword Spirit was one of them.
After spiritual transformation came destruction.
However, humans were passed down and entered the Ancient Era.
At this time, humans had not yet formed countries.
Most of them were tribes fighting each other, but more were just eking out an existence. In the Ancient Era, gods and demons still fought fiercely, and humans were harmless species. However, perhaps because of human harmlessness in the eyes of gods and demons, they were a relatively safe species.
Thus, many races of gods and demons, in offending powerful enemies, or in natural mutations, chose to evolve towards humans. There were even many species that chose humans to pass on their descendants.
In the Medieval Era, humans began to unify, integrate, and writing appeared, and they began to grow stronger.
So, the human race went through three stages.
In the beginning, it was the spiritual transformation into humans in the Primordial Era.
Then, it was the transformation into human form in the Ancient Era.
Then, in the Medieval Era, humans officially became a race, and then used wisdom to create writing and rise up…
It was also during these processes that many bloodlines were added to the human body.
After years of continuation and mating, the people of Dragon Spirit Country now had more or less bloodline connections with other species in their bodies.
And did the people of Blue Star have this bloodline?
So far, Lin Chen had not found it.
Moreover, he could see his attribute panel, and there was no bloodline column on it.
"So, what I thought was special about Blue Star people, being able to see attributes, is an advantage of Blue Star people, but the Dragon Spirit Country people can awaken bloodlines, which is their advantage…"
Lin Chen thought.
Bloodline!
Was there any way for the people of Blue Star to obtain it?
It might be a little difficult.
"Marshal, before, my uncle hoped that Tianyue City and the Dragon Spirit people would intermarry. In fact, he didn't want to target you, but the Blue Star people actually have disadvantages in terms of bloodlines… Compared with the Dragon Spirit people, the bloodlines of the Blue Star people are too simple."
Jin Mu didn't forget to explain to Lin Chen some of the misunderstandings that might have existed at the beginning.
He didn't want Lin Chen to think that all of Jin Qiang's decisions were aimed at Tianyue City.
However, he certainly couldn't understand…
In fact, not having those miscellaneous bloodlines might not be a bad thing.
"I know, and I didn't stop the Blue Star people from marrying the Dragon Spirit people, but we Blue Star people pay attention to freedom of love. It may be difficult to change their thinking at present. So, let these things take their course!"
Lin Chen answered Jin Mu like this.
But in fact, Lin Chen was also hesitant about whether to carry out some bloodline integration and try it out.
In addition…
Did the Blue Star people really have no bloodline?
Could there be, but they hadn't awakened?
In terms of Lin Chen's game-playing thinking, it was… Were their levels not high enough, just like the soul system, after reaching a certain level, the players on Blue Star could also awaken their bloodlines?
Of course, if there was something that definitely didn't exist, Lin Chen wouldn't force it.
Just as now, he had not awakened any bloodline.
But wasn't Lin Chen the Primordial Sword Master?
He had also inherited the sword heart of the Primordial Sword Spirit.
Perhaps…
This was the bloodline of the Blue Star people!
There was no single bloodline awakening.
But…
They could inherit all bloodline characteristics!
If that were the case, it would be perfect.
"Why should I solidify my thinking and only think about finding others to experiment on? I can experiment myself! Now I have inherited the Primordial Sword Heart, and I will try other things in the future… Jian Ni Chang is alive. Before the Primordial Sword Spirit left, he also gave her the news of the Primordial Saber Saint, right?"
Lin Chen thought.
If he could get the inheritance of the Primordial Saber Saint in the future, then his guess would probably be correct.
The Blue Star people without a single bloodline awakening looked like a disadvantage, but in fact…
Disadvantages might be turned into advantages!
Thinking of this, Lin Chen didn't struggle with bloodlines anymore.
After a day and a night, the airship finally saw an extremely spectacular city.
Dragon Spirit Country, Jingji Province, Imperial Capital!
As the capital of the human race, the scale of the entire Imperial Capital could be said to be at the large to above-average level among all races.
The city wall was thousands of feet high.
The palace overlooked all living beings.
There were over a million houses.
Iron cavalry surrounded Dragon City!
What a heroic and magnificent sight!
Lin Chen stood on the airship, and even a person from a modern city couldn't help but marvel…
If the previous Blue Star cities were all about hard-core technology, then the Dragon Spirit Country's Imperial Capital in front of him was all hard-core!
No need for hard-core technology!
However, when Lin Chen arrived outside the Imperial Capital and faced the guards, he saw many 'super-tech' things, such as… elevators that didn't use electricity.
Could you believe it?
On the thousand-foot-high city wall of the Imperial Capital, there were many devices similar to elevators.
These devices were not driven by electricity, but their ascending and descending speed was faster than elevators!
And Lin Chen had sharp eyes.
At a glance, he saw that the city wall was inlaid with magical holy stones everywhere…
It seemed that these magical holy stones were the devices that made those elevators run.
This was also another kind of technology…
Or rather, compared to the technological era of Blue Star, it was a more alternative and special technology.
"Is that Commander Lin Chen? This humble general is the Deputy Battalion Commander of the Yu Lin Guard, paying respects to the Commander of the Central Army of the Dragon Protector Army! Please follow this humble general into the city. His Majesty and Duke Huguo are waiting for Commander Lin in the Council Hall!"
The leading general said to Lin Chen.
Although Lin Chen was puzzled as to why the King was meeting him in the council, he didn't say anything, but simply replied, "Please lead the way."
Afterwards, the group took one of those special elevators together…
It turned out that this special elevator could also travel through the Imperial Capital.
Compared with the Imperial Capital, Lin Chen immediately felt that his Tianyue City was like a village without any technology…
He felt like a country bumpkin entering the city.
Lin Chen laughed self-deprecatingly.
"Sword Master, what's wrong?" Jian Ni Chang looked over curiously.
"It's nothing."
Lin Chen shook his head.
Soon, the group arrived in front of a magnificent palace.
On the doorplate here, gilded characters clearly read: Council Hall!
"Commander Lin, please!"
The Deputy Battalion Commander opened the door, then stood aside with his subordinates, and saluted Lin Chen and the others.
This showed that the Dragon Protector Army indeed had an extraordinary status in the Dragon Spirit Country.
At the same time, Lin Chen was even more curious…
This time, Long Yandao came forward because Princess Qingyue had invited him.
So, Princess Qingyue had a lot of face!
Although Lin Chen had only heard Long Yandao's voice so far, Lin Chen felt that the Dragon Protector Army, including Long Yandao, had an extraordinary status through his contact with the Dragon Protector Army…
In addition, the Dragon Protector Army didn't participate in political struggles, so it could be seen that even the King didn't have the face to invite Long Yandao to come out and preside over the overall situation.
However, Princess Qingyue did it.
Could it be that she could do this entirely because… she controlled the finances and the Dragon Protector Army also needed her financial support?
That probably had little to do with it.
Lin Chen had heard that one of the important reasons why the Dragon Protector Army was independent of political struggles was that it was easier to get rich on the Imperial battlefield… because there were spoils of war!
Even some planets where the battlefield was located might have treasures.
Lin Chen's few doubts now were about this Princess Qingyue.
However, it seemed that he would be able to see her soon.
Jian Ni Chang straightened Lin Chen's clothes, and then Lin Chen took the lead and walked into the Council Hall.
As soon as he entered, Lin Chen saw some acquaintances…
The remaining five Marquis families in Zhenhai Province were all there!
However, they were all seated at the very end.
This showed…
A Miscellaneous Marquis was at least less than a dog in this Council Hall!
They belonged to the lowest status.
Further ahead, there were also acquaintances…
Shui Jingtian!
However, Shui Jingtian should have been the first time to meet Lin Chen.
But Shui Jingtian reached out and smiled as Lin Chen passed through the passage, "City Lord Lin… Oh, no, it should be Commander Lin. I think this should be the second time we've met, right?"
Obviously, Shui Jingtian was alluding to something.
He should have known that he and Lin Chen should have met before.
But Lin Chen at that time had a beard.
"I don't know what Marquis Shui is talking about."
Lin Chen held his hand and responded with a smile, but denied meeting Shui Jingtian. However, he deliberately stated Shui Jingtian's identity… In fact, it was equivalent to admitting it in disguise.
"I hope that Commander Lin can also retreat completely this time!" Shui Jingtian said with a smile, giving his blessings.
Lin Chen frowned.
What did he mean?
Why should he retreat completely?
When Lin Chen arrived at the front of the council seat, he saw many people.
Among them, the one sitting in the high position was obviously the Emperor of Dragon Spirit Country.
He looked like he was in his forties or fifties.
In his prime.
His eyes were also stern, staring closely at Lin Chen and asking, "Are you Lin Chen?"
"Yes, Lin Chen pays respects to His Majesty!"
Lin Chen saluted.
His hands were crossed, and then he lowered his head slightly.
The King, wearing a crown, said, "I asked you to come to the Council Hall today because the council still needs to ask you some questions. Just answer them well later… By the way, go meet your future commander first!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Lin Chen saluted again, and then his gaze shifted to the face of an old man next to him.
Long Yandao!
In terms of seniority, he was also the King's uncle.
"Lin Chen has met the Commander!" Lin Chen said, still saluting.
This time, it was the military salute of the Dragon Protector Army that he learned from Jin Mu.
"Learned quickly."
Long Yandao said four words, then waved his hand, indicating that there was nothing to say.
He was straightforward.
Next, Lin Chen looked at the two people below Long Yandao.
These two should be Duke Shun, Long Yanhui, and Duke Zhong, Xiong Nateer.
"Lin Chen, pays respect to Duke Shun."
"Haha, you're welcome. In the future, follow my brother well and make contributions to the country!"
"Thank you… Lin Chen, pays respect to Duke Zhong."
"Well, I heard that Tianyue City still doesn't have enough formed local combat power, but it's understandable. I hope that soon, Tianyue City can report the number of local troops to this Duke."
Xiong Nateer was the only one among these people whose surname was not Long.
However, he had the most to say to Lin Chen.
But Xiong Nateer's words were very particular.
First of all, he spoke the most, so naturally he seemed the most concerned and close to Lin Chen. But his words were questioning Lin Chen, and the content of the questioning was some minor matters that were irrelevant.
However, this small matter was also within the scope of his duties as the Grand Marshal of the country's soldiers and horses…
It could be said that one sentence contained a lot of information in it.
Looking at it, it was estrangement, but in reality, there was a suspicion of trying to get close…
Lin Chen was amused in his heart.
No wonder Long Yandao focused on the Imperial battlefield and didn't want to get involved in the political struggles of Dragon Spirit Country… Indeed, these people spoke in roundabout ways, and their minds were deep and unpredictable, making them difficult to deal with.
"City Lord Lin is about to go on an expedition for the country, to the fierce Imperial battlefield. That place is famous for being a meat grinder, and even some people in the country call the Imperial battlefield a graveyard! Compared with the interests of the country, the issue of the city defense of Tianyue City shouldn't be discussed at the council, right?"
At this time, a woman's voice rang out.
Lin Chen looked over upon hearing the sound…
Then, he saw a woman with extremely beautiful appearance and an extremely elegant temperament.
She looked less than thirty years old, but Lin Chen already knew from Jin Mu that this woman should be forty years old.
She was naturally Princess Qingyue!
The King's sister.
She was also the former number one beauty of Dragon Spirit Country!
She was also…
The important figure who promoted Lin Chen to be able to stand here.
"Lin Chen, pays respect to the Princess."
Lin Chen saluted Princess Qingyue.
"Well, City Lord Lin is really a talented person… If you are free later, you can come to the Princess Mansion. There are some things that we still have to discuss the details in person. Some of my subordinates are very optimistic about City Lord Lin's Tianyue City market!"
Princess Qingyue said with a smile.
At the same time, she was also expressing her position to everyone…
She didn't come this time for any other reason or purpose.
She was here to talk business and make money!
Seeing these high-level officials of Dragon Spirit Country for the first time, Lin Chen felt a little dizzy…
These people were all shrewd people!
Each and every one of them had ulterior motives.
That was all for today.
A total of 14,000 words.
The chapter was also transitioning almost.
Tomorrow, the plot of the Imperial battlefield would begin, and at the same time, he would start contacting many different races and head to the universe!
It should be said that it was the beginning of the universe chapter!
