Inside the castle, inside a pavilion in the corridor.
Dongbo Xue Ying and Lord Si An sat opposite each other. A servant served them some snacks and hot tea. Zong Ling, Tong San, You Tu and the others were waiting in the corridor outside the pavilion.
Lord Si An held the hot tea and gently took a sip while looking at the snow outside the pavilion.
"My lord, your place is quiet and comfortable. It's really a good place. The city is too noisy with people coming and going. Even when you sleep you can hear the noise outside." Lord Si An smiled, "When I retire, I will also find a quiet place to enjoy myself."
Dongbo Xue Ying laughed, "Many people want to be in a high position but can't."
"High position? You are only the person in charge of a small county Dragon Mountain Manor. What high position. "Lord Si An said as he took out a small stack of gold notes," This is 800 gold coins! This is Ge Bin's bounty. Although it's not much, it still has to be paid. "
Dongbo Xue Ying took it.
Criminals wanted by the Empire … … generally only those who are at least Star rank or those who have committed heinous crimes would have a bounty. Ordinary bandits are not qualified to have a bounty on their heads.
"This is the Black Iron Order." Lord Si An took out a black token with the words' Dragon Mountain 'on it, "The citizens of the Empire, generally those who have reached the Meteor rank will receive this Black Iron Order."
"Meteor rank, Black Iron Order?" Dongbo Xue Ying thought.
"There are two main types of tokens."
Lord Si An casually said, "One is the Black Iron Order and the other is the Bronze Order! Those who have reached the Meteor rank will receive the Black Iron Order and those who have reached the Legend rank will receive the Bronze Order … … Above that is the Transcendent rank! Transcendent rank, that is the true strength of our Xia people and the entire Empire. Of course, that is a completely different world, so there is no need to say more. "
"Take this, this is the Black Iron Order that belongs to you. It is very useful." Lord Si An placed the Black Iron Order in front of Dongbo Xue Ying.
Dongbo Xue Ying looked at it carefully. Other than the two words' Dragon Mountain ', there were some complicated runes on the black token. The runes were very natural and harmonious, and looked very beautiful.
Si An casually flipped his hand and handed over a scroll, "This is the 'Empire Newspaper' compiled by our Dragon Mountain Manor. It generally records some of the major events of the Empire and mainly introduces the details of the entire Azure River County. For example, you could kill a Silvermoon Wolf King and wipe out the entire Bent Blade Union. It will be recorded in the next issue of the empire's newspaper. All the experts in the entire Azure River County will be able to read the newspaper. "
"Oh?" Dongbo Xue Ying picked it up and flipped through it.
The entire newspaper had more than a dozen sheets of paper. There was only a single sheet of paper that recorded anything outside of the Azure River County. The rest were all about the Azure River County.
"Dragon Mountain Calendar, Year 9623, 19th of November. On the third day of entering the Mountain Range of Desolation, the Fifth Division of the Azure River County encountered an awakened rank six magical beast, 'Dark Demon Bear'. Two thousand-men platoons were completely annihilated …"
"Dragon Mountain Calendar, Year 9623, 10th of November. Within the Azure River County's Flat Sky City, a Transcendent appeared. It was a barefooted, white-haired old man dressed in rags …"
"5th of November. Si Clan and Zhang Clan united by marriage …"
… …
The newspaper recorded all the important news of the Azure River County. It was so important that even the annual calendar was written.
As for the interesting news, the newspaper was much more casual.
Dongbo Xue Ying's eyes widened. It turned out that there were so many things happening in the Azure River County.
"Lord Si An, a Transcendent actually appeared in the Flat Sky City?" Dongbo Xue Ying asked curiously.
"It only appeared for a moment before disappearing." Lord Si An laughed, "Transcendent existences are high above the masses. What they pursue is different from what we mortals pursue. This kind of ascetic travel … … is quite common. Recording it in the newspaper is to let the various families pay attention to it. Don't offend a Transcendent! Once offended, the sky would collapse! The entire family might even be destroyed. "
Dongbo Xue Ying nodded.
That's right.
Casually bullying a beggar on the side of the road, only to discover that the beggar was actually a Transcendent! Wouldn't that scare him to death?
"Transcendent existences are extremely rare. In the entire nineteen provinces of the empire, there are only a few Transcendents. Take our Azure River County for example. Although it's quite big, there isn't even a single Transcendent here! " Lord Si An shook his head, "This is the empire's newspaper. It's a monthly publication. If you have nothing to do, you can read it often. This way, you can understand the big and small events of the empire. You can also know which forces you cannot afford to offend."
"The newspaper is a source of amusement."
"Next, I'll give you more and more important."
"This is the second most important thing. It's two lists!" Lord Si An's expression turned serious. With a flip of his hand, two books appeared in his hands. One book had a black cover with the words' Dragon Mountain '. The cover of the other book was blood red, and there was only a drawing of a blade dripping with blood on it.
"Two lists?" Dongbo Xue Ying curiously looked at them.
"This is the Dragon Mountain List, compiled by our Dragon Mountain Manor. The other is the Bloodshed List, compiled by the Bloodshed Tavern. "Lord Si An said.
Dongbo Xue Ying took the two thick books.
First, he flipped open the black Dragon Mountain List. On top of it was the ranking. From the first to the last, there were densely packed names with some simple introductions.
"The Bloodshed List, it's an assassin list!" Lord Si An's words made Dongbo Xue Ying startled.
"Assassin list?" Dongbo Xue Ying looked at the blood red book.
"Yes, the Bloodshed Tavern's background is extremely mysterious. Even our Dragon Mountain Manor is unwilling to provoke them! In the entire empire, there is a Bloodshed Tavern in every city. " Lord Si An said, "According to the actual achievements of the assassins, the Bloodshed Tavern compiled this list. The names on this list are almost all codenames! After all, the assassins usually hide their identities. "
"The other Dragon Mountain List is more authoritative and is valued by all the experts in the empire." Lord Si An revealed a proud expression, "The Dragon Mountain List is compiled by our Dragon Mountain Manor. It includes the top three thousand bronze ranked experts in the entire empire's nineteen provinces." Lord Si An said, "From the first to the third thousand, they are all carefully considered by our Dragon Mountain Manor. Based on their achievements and various other factors, they are ranked in detail."
"The entire empire's three thousand strong experts?" Dongbo Xue Ying's eyes lit up.
Bronze rank.
Only those with the strength of a Legend rank are qualified to obtain a Bronze List! There are three thousand recorded on this list.
"There are only so many Transcendents in the empire, so there is no need to compile a list." Lord Si An said, "As for those below the Transcendent rank, they are only one step away from becoming a Transcendent. Among them, there are some who are brilliant and have strength comparable to a Transcendent. Looking at the entire empire, the number of Legend ranks is relatively large."
"In the entire Azure River County, there are a total of twelve bronze ranked experts. There are a total of five who can enter the Dragon Mountain List. "Lord Si An said.
Dongbo Xue Ying nodded slightly. The Dragon Mountain List has a limit of three thousand. Not every bronze ranked expert can enter the list.
"Among these five."
"The fifth is called Chang Qing Ze, ranked 2895 in the Dragon Mountain List."
"The fourth is called Zhang Yong, ranked 2822 in the Dragon Mountain List."
"The third is called Dan Chen, ranked 1259 in the Dragon Mountain List."
"The second is called Si Liang Hong, ranked 569 in the Dragon Mountain List."
"The first is called Xiang Pang Yun, ranked 525 in the Dragon Mountain List."
Lord Si An easily reported the detailed rankings of these five people.
