Volume 6: Demons Rise from the East Sea Chapter 340 Tianlong Inn
Ten days later.
The waters of the Banshee Kingdom.
The word "banshee" is purely a transliteration and has nothing to do with the real banshee.
Legend has it that the Banshee Kingdom was built by the descendants of the Great Jin Dynasty a thousand years ago. Among the countries in the East China Sea, it has the smallest area and population .
People even called the king the high priest, which made him feel more like a tribe.
However, the Banshee Kingdom is relatively famous among the countries in the East China Sea, second only to the Izumo Kingdom and the Hishika Kingdom.
Because, during the war period a hundred years ago, this place was once the stronghold of Central Plains martial arts.
In those days, many martial artists gathered here to avoid disasters, exchange ideas and learn from each other, leaving behind many martial arts books.
Later, when Daxuan was established, this place was transformed into an intelligence and trading station for Daxuan Wulin.
Whether it is martial arts classics, magic weapons, secret mechanisms, or various important information in the martial arts world, you can buy them all here.
Therefore, the Banshee Kingdom was also called the Overseas Jianghu by the martial arts people, attracting countless people from the martial arts world to come and search for treasures.
Nowadays, there are still many martial arts criminals with outstanding martial arts skills, as well as martial arts predecessors living in seclusion here. It can be said that there are good and bad people mixed together, and there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
"Kong Zhen," Han Feier said a name to Xu Zun on the bow, "This person is the current ruler of the Banshee Country."
"It's a woman..." Xiao Zhennan added.
"Female?" Xu Zun was surprised. "Female king?"
"Kong is the surname of the Great Jin Dynasty," Han Feier introduced, "Although the Great Jin Dynasty no longer exists, it still inherits a lot of Central Plains culture.
"Logically, there really shouldn't be a female king. But... there are exceptions."
"We just heard it from others," Xiao Zhennan agreed as he steered the helm. "It is said that this Princess Kong Zhen is gifted and proficient in secret arts. The previous king thought she had the most potential, so he passed the throne to her."
"Really?" Xu Zun couldn't help but utter two words, "Banshee?"
"Yes, Your Excellency is not the first to hold such an opinion," Xiao Zhennan said, "Many people are saying that this Kong Zhen looks like a banshee, and she is worthy of the name, corresponding to the name of the country."
" Tsk tsk..." Xu Zun smacked his lips, "If we want to find the crown prince, we have to meet this queen?"
"Well..."
Xiao Zhennan and his wife looked at each other, seeming a little hesitant.
"I am the Great Xuan Envoy," Xu Zun said, "Even if this queen has three heads and six arms, she must cooperate with us."
"Yes," Zhao Yu agreed, "The prince's accident happened in the sea area of his Banshee Country. If it is really investigated, she will also bear some responsibility."
"That's a piece of cake," Xiao Zhennan said, "but... we feel there's another place that might be more effective than asking the Banshee King for help."
"Oh?" Xu Zun was curious, "Where?"
"No way..." Zhao Yu's eyes widened, "Is it the Tianlong Inn?"
Xiao Zhennan and his wife nodded, obviously Zhao Yu was right.
"Is there really such a place?" Zhao Yu looked surprised. "Our Zhao family's intelligence shows that the Tianlong Inn is just a legend?"
Tianlong Inn?
Xu Zun thought to himself that this name felt very familiar, as if it had appeared in some TV series in his previous life?
However, based on existing knowledge, he knew that in a feudal society like Daxuan, ordinary people would not include the word "dragon" in their names.
After all, the dragon is a royal symbol and is prohibited from being used by civilians.
Therefore, it should be impossible to see an inn with the word "dragon" in the world.
It is conceivable that this "Tianlong Inn" must have a profound history.
"Yes," Xiao Zhennan said, "and it is near the port of Banshee Country. But..."
"My husband and I also wanted to buy some martial arts secrets through the Tianlong Inn," Han Feier said, "but unfortunately we were not strong enough and ultimately failed to do so."
"What exactly is this Tianlong Inn?" asked Xu Zun.
"You can say it is," Zhao Yu replied, "It is the most powerful intelligence station in the world, right? There, you can find things you can't think of, but nothing you can't buy!"
fart!
Xu Zun said in his heart, if I want to buy the emperor's life, can I buy it? Can you also sell me a Huawei phone?
However, since there are such rumors, it is enough to show that this place is extraordinary.
"If..." Xiao Zhennan said, "If we can ask for help from the Tianlong Inn, then we can take some shortcuts to find the prince! It will definitely be more effective than looking for the Banshee King."
"Humph," Xu Zun snorted coldly, "Information in this world requires speed, even if it can be collected, it must be delivered in a timely manner.
"The Tianlong Inn is located so far away from Daxuan, so the timeliness of the information is probably questionable, right?"
"Sir," Zhao Yu gave a thumbs up, "You are absolutely right. The reason why our Zhao family can gain a foothold in the martial arts world is because of the word 'new'. This news really needs to be spread quickly enough."
"But..." He said, "The county magistrate is better off being in charge. They are definitely the most suitable people to find the prince!"
"Well," Xu Zun nodded and asked, "Do you know who opened this Tianlong Inn?"
Xiao Zhennan and his wife quickly shook their heads.
"This Tianlong Inn is very mysterious," Xiao Zhennan said, "My husband and I came to the Banshee Country last time, and although we got in touch, we didn't find the inn.
"We feel that one reason is that my husband and I are not strong enough, and the other reason is that we don't have enough financial resources."
"But..." Han Fei'er said, "Your Excellency is different. You are the Grand Magistrate of Daxuan. This should be enough. As for the financial resources..."
"Oh..." Xu Zun realized, "It seems that they are asking for a high price!"
"I heard," Zhao Yu said, "that the Tianlong Inn is an equal exchange? As long as you can meet the conditions they set, they will give you what you want!
"Besides, the conditions they offer are sometimes not just about money?"
"Yes," Xiao Zhennan confirmed, "That is indeed the case."
"Interesting," Xu Zun nodded and smacked his lips, "This place does sound quite interesting. When we get to the Banshee Country, why not give it a try!"
"The contact we were looking for should still be here," Xiao Zhennan said quickly, "If we find him, we can get in touch with him."
"That's a good idea," Zhao Yu nodded, "Maybe we can find out what the sea monster that attacked the prince is!"
"Hey?" Unexpectedly, while everyone was discussing, Xiao Zhennan suddenly looked ahead and said, "Look, there's a boat!"
Everyone quickly looked straight ahead and saw a sailboat coming towards them.
"Finally we see the ship!" Huo Anu said excitedly, "Does this mean we will soon reach the Banshee Kingdom?"
"No," Xiao Zhennan put away his smile the next second, "There's something wrong with this ship!"
Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Zhennan finished speaking, everyone saw two other sailboats approaching on the left and right sides of the warship.
The masts of the three sailboats were old and their sails were covered with patches, making them look very shabby.
However, the skull and crossbones flag hanging on the sail surprised Xu Zun.
"Oh my god!" Xu Zun said in surprise, "Could we have encountered pirates?"
