Chapter Sixty-two: The city said: 'Do not redeem'

open. He couldn't break through this illusion for the time being. But he wasn't flustered. According to the knowledge he learned in the Daoist academy, he had two judgments now: first, the enemy's le...The longest and largest river in the world today is called the Yangtze River.

Having traversed tens of thousands of miles just along this known stretch of river.

The long river originates in the far west, there is also a saying that its source is Mount Yuqing, one of the sacred lands of Taoism.

Regardless of which account is true, none have been verified.

The current historical records indicate that this waterway originates at least as far west as the country of Wan in the Western Regions, winding its way through the Central Plains and ultimately reaching the Xia Kingdom in the Southern Regions.

The river system, connected by a main river and its tributaries, covers most of the territory inhabited by humans. It nourishes countless creatures on both banks. Because it is mysterious, ancient, vast, and magnificent, it is also known as "The Inland Sea," "Mother River," "Ancestral River," or "Source of the Inland Rivers."

To the northwest of the state of Zhuang, there is a country named Luo.

The north of the region is traversed by a long river.

The water network in Luoku is dense and crisscrosses the country. Most people travel by boat, creating a unique scene. It's therefore also known as the "Water Country".

Logically, with waterways crisscrossing its borders, the Luo Kingdom should have amicable relations with the aquatic race. But conversely, this nation has the greatest conflict with the aquatic race, reaching a point where coexistence is impossible.

The ancient pact of peace between humans and merfolk, is rendered worthless in the nation of Luo.

This is also the biggest slave market for aquatic creatures, and the slave trade of aquatic creatures, which is explicitly prohibited by human nations, has become one of this country's economic pillars.

People from Lu State always traveled by boat within their own country, but when they went to other places, they never travelled by water.

>

Any water creature in the world that kills a citizen of Lu will be tacitly accepted, and no one will usually come to uphold justice.

Because of the existence of the Qinghe Water Prefecture, the diplomatic relations between Zhuang and Luo countries have always been poor.

But each had its own concerns, and historically there has never been a large-scale war.

Moreover, geographically speaking, Zhuang Guo is closer to Yong Guo to the north and Mo Guo to the southwest. To the northwest, there exists a buffer zone in which no country holds control between Zhuang Guo, Luo Guo, and Yong Guo.

There's really no room for each other to fight.

The relationship between the State of Zhuang and the State of Yong was, needless to say, one of bitter enemies, with no room for reconciliation.

However, the relationship between Yong and Luo countries was not much better. Similar to the situation between Zhuang and Luo, there was also a Lanhe Water Mansion within Yong's borders, which was also an important national force.

This state of Luo Guo, a nation like a slave trader, has no irreplaceable industry besides aquatic slaves. Its military strength is not top-tier, yet it can develop steadily to the present day despite being envied (at least superficially) by all its neighboring countries to the east.

The reasons behind this, are not something to be shared with outsiders.

As mentioned earlier, between the three kingdoms of Zhuang, Luo, and Yong, there existed a buffer zone that was not governed by any of them.

In this land, the law of any king does not reach. By nature, it is a place of chaos.

It's unclear from what year a city named "Unredemption" was built here.

There are two sayings.

One theory is that the people in this city are beyond redemption, their sins too great to ever be washed away.

Another saying is that the wicked people in this city never repent and never atone for their sins.

Everyone has their own belief, and throughout history, there has never been a definitive answer. The two versions have persisted alongside the city's filth.

The city of Unredeemed is chaotic, or perhaps chaos is the greatest rule of Unredeemed.

But any place where a settlement can form is bound to have some order. Even the most bloodthirsty thugs can't live their lives in constant fear and paranoia.

Every person entering the city of redemption must value their own life and pay a "life tax".

This value can be a thousand taels of gold, or a Qi knife coin, or a Qin ring money, or even a piece of cloth.

The price of "fate gold" depends on how much you are willing to pay for your life. We will not force anyone who refuses to redeem the city.

As long as you pay the "life gold," you can live in this city.

Anyone who wants to kill you in this city must pay a fee 10,000 times your "life gold" before they can lay a hand on you.

... is ransom.

Otherwise, it shall be considered as an enemy of the un-redemption city.

There is a widely circulated saying: since the inhabitants of Irkalla are all sinners beyond redemption, when these people enter Irkalla, if you want to kill them, you must have ten thousand times the determination and pay ten thousand times the price.

The one who maintains this order, or as some call her, the Mistress of Irredeemable—though she would never admit to being the Mistress of Irredeemable; she only claims to be its greatest sinner.

Known as the culprit, Huang Jinmo is silent now.

Even the most depraved person deserves to be treated with kindness.

Even the darkest person craves the warmth of the sun.

Today is a sunny day with perfect weather.

Outside the east gate of Self-Redemption City, a figure appeared, seeming to walk in the sunshine.

His eyebrows were sharp, and his eyes sparkled with pride.

Even every single strand of ink-colored hair danced openly, displaying its sharp edges without reservation.

Because his aura was too sharp, even the drowsy guards at the city gate didn't notice the long spear he carried on his back until he got closer.

This gun's appearance is unassuming and ordinary, seeming not to match the sharpness of its owner. However, when put together, it gives off a very harmonious feeling.

“Do you know the rules” The jailer leaned against the city gate, asking lazily.

If he were a newcomer to the city, he would explain the rules of "fate money" again.

A city that is not to be redeemed does not need strict defenses; it only needs one person sitting at the city gate collecting money. Even an ordinary old man would be sufficient.

No matter how wicked a scoundrel may be, to enter the Unredeemed City, one must give face to the Guardians of Sin.

The visitor is well-mannered.

In the sunlight, a coin spun in midair, tracing a graceful arc before landing in the hand of this guard.

If this person were to bring gold worth ten thousand ounces, he wouldn't be surprised.

Sometimes, the more ruthless a person is, the more they value their life. The more wicked someone is, the wealthier they tend to be. Such individuals are often willing to spend huge sums of money on their own safety.

>

Even if it meant paying hundreds or even thousands of Dao Yuan Stones as a life deposit, he wasn't unfamiliar with such things.

But as soon as this soldier got hold of the coin, he was filled with vigor.

>

This is just a copper coin, and it's not worth much at all, even as a zhuang knife coin.

This means that almost anyone in this city could afford to pay his "ransom".

That is to say, he walked blindly into a city full of thugs, and everyone in that city could kill him.

No matter where he comes from, or what his background is. The villains of Unredeemed City won't care about any of that.

The laws of any nation cannot reach those who have not redeemed the city.

They entered the city of Unredemption, where even the wicked found no refuge from their sins. They were so vile that they could not live outside its walls.

This lone, armed young man hurled a Zhuang Guo coin. It was as if he were declaring to this entire city of wickedness: Want to kill me Come and try!

The guard took the silver coins from Zhuang and stamped his entry permit. He scribbled a note and handed it back.

And again he asked, "What is your name"

Without a moment's pause, the figure bearing a long spear strode into the city of Buqiong.

There was only one voice as sharp and piercing as my own, falling like a spear, striking straight at the city gate.
