"Alright, you can go now," Mo Tiankong said after getting the information he wanted.
Although these two people's motives were not good, their cultivation was too weak. Mo Tiankong really did not have the desire to kill them. He had already punished them before.
He did not want to kill them in the first place. He just wanted to ask for directions.
"Senior, my companion …" Knife looked at the unconscious Octagon Anise and gritted his teeth before continuing.
Logically speaking, if he had the chance to leave, he would have done so. However, this senior did not kill him. After thinking about it, he decided to take the risk and ask if he could take the Octagon Anise with him.
"Take him …" Mo Tiankong mumbled as he ate the meat.
Could it be that he was going to keep it as barbecued meat? Speaking of which, this idea was a little evil. Thinking of this, Mo Tiankong couldn't eat the meat anymore. He threw the remaining meat in his hand to Lucky. It was better to drink some fish soup.
He had already decided to let this guy go, but he still asked for his companion's opinion. If he did not want to leave, he would have kept them for the new year. If he really wanted to kill them, he would not have let them go.
"Thank you senior, thank you senior," Knife said after hearing the answer.
Then, he grabbed the Octagon Anise's body and left as if he was escaping.
Although he said that he would not kill them, if they stayed too long and became an eyesore, he might just kill them. Knife only had one thought in his mind: run.
Mo Tiankong looked at Dao Zi who was running away quickly and smiled.
The fish in the pot was not the fish from the lake. It was a small sea fish that was produced in Sentry Town. That's right, it was the same ingredients that he had brought with him. He had not finished eating them yet. When he bought the ingredients for a month, he bought three servings.
He, Auspicious, and Luo Ruo did not consume too much food on the road. Although almost a month had passed, Mo Tiankong spent most of his time in the city. In the city, he ate at restaurants.
In addition, he had killed some Demonic Beasts along the way and collected their meat. So far, only a small portion of the ingredients had been consumed.
Mo Tiankong was glad that he brought these ingredients. Otherwise, he would have vomited if he only ate meat. Most of the ingredients he brought were seafood, and he wasn't tired of eating them.
Seafood in itself was more refreshing. Most of them were stewed soup and barbecued, so they were still very popular.
Of course, he didn't drink the beer from the Thousand Island Lake today. The main reason was that he was just about to cook when these two guys came over. Then, the fire was lit and the beast meat was roasted. After it was cooked, he ate it directly. He didn't have time.
Now that I'm almost done eating, I'll just drink some fish soup. I was disgusted by my own thoughts just now.
After eating, Mo Tiankong used his spiritual force to scan the area around the mountain. When he found that there were no traces of the two people, he went to sleep with peace of mind.
Of course, Auspicious would still keep watch. Their previous deal still counted. After eating, Auspicious was still willing to keep watch.
.....
The next morning, after packing up and putting away the shed, Mo Tiankong hurried towards the northwest.
Looking at the map, Acropolis was indeed in the northwest. Dao Zi said that it was about a day's journey, but that was only for him.
A Martial General would need a day to reach Acropolis. Mo Tiankong estimated that he would only need a few hours to half a day to reach Acropolis.
Half a day later, Mo Tiankong felt a little dizzy. After circling the area marked as a city in the northwest, he finally found the location of the city.
It wasn't easy. After all, the map wasn't like the navigation system on Earth. Although it was marked, it was hard to tell the direction. He had to determine the direction based on his current position. It was possible that he would accidentally miss the city.
The two words "Acropolis" were written on the city wall. It should be the city that Dao Zi mentioned. Adding on the distance, it was about the same.
However, what attracted Mo Tiankong's attention was the strokes on the city wall. This was the first time he saw a city with strokes. This took a lot of time. After all, it was the entire city wall.
The amount of work couldn't be completed in a short period of time. It was considered a rather unique city. Mo Tiankong wasn't too clear about the situation of the Hundred Tribes Empire.
There were many similar murals on the city wall. The Hundred Tribes Empire was the only empire that had many tribes. Every tribe had different cultures. This also affected the architecture and other aspects.
He had some foundation in the murals, but Mo Tiankong didn't understand some of it. It could be the history of the city or something else. After admiring it for a while, he prepared to enter the city.
From afar, he saw warriors lining up at the city gate. Seeing this, Mo Tiankong went up and lined up at the back of the line. He slowly moved into the city.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. He couldn't casually break the rules. He hadn't reached the Martial God Realm yet, so he couldn't do as he pleased.
There weren't many changes in the city. The streets were paved with limestone, and there were shops and restaurants on both sides of the streets. They were also built with wood as the mainstream construction method.
The walls of the houses and courtyards were made of stone. The houses were mainly made of wood. It was a little different from the outside of the city.
Mo Tiankong thought that there would be some unique features in the city. Speaking of which, it was a little unique. There weren't many houses made of stone and wood on Earth. Most of them were tall buildings made of reinforced concrete.
Even many villas were modern constructions. If one wanted to find a house made of stone and wood, they would have to go to the countryside. Perhaps there were some that were preserved.
It was still early. Mo Tiankong had just arrived. He was prepared to check out the market. For example, if the cultivation methods of the warriors in the Hundred Tribes Empire were different, if there were any differences in the mainstream cultivation items, and if there were any markets in the city.
Of course, it wasn't very likely that there were differences in cultivation methods. Vitality was unique to this world. Even if there were differences in cultivation methods, it would be the same.
He was just casually strolling around to understand. If there were really differences in different places, the System wouldn't just put up Vitality items. From the items in the grocery store, it was possible to deduce some clues from the System's perspective.
Furthermore, this was only the Eastern Xuan Region. If there really was a difference, then the changes in the other four regions could be even greater. He did not know about the situation in the Profound Sky Continent, but as the existence that brought him here, the System definitely knew about it.
Otherwise, how could he earn Spirit Stones? If people were cultivating Spirit Qi, then what was the use of putting up Vitality items?
After walking around for a while, there really weren't any changes. Mo Tiankong walked all the way to the market in the center of the city. He would also go in to take a look at some of the shops. Martial cultivation was the same, there weren't any changes. The items sold in the market were mostly natural treasures. There were also precious pills and other items.
Of course, it was hard to say how many natural treasures there were. There were only a few small mountain ranges nearby, so there shouldn't be many of these items. There were probably very few high level beasts in the mountain ranges as well.
It was more or less the same. There were many stalls on both sides of the street. It looked very prosperous. This Acropolis wasn't bad. The cultivation environment wasn't bad either. There should be a few Spirit Stone veins underground. The concentration of Vitality here was much higher than outside the city.
The commerce was also very developed. He almost thought that he was in the capital of a country. Mo Tiankong wasn't clear about the situation in the Hundred Tribes Empire.
For example, why was this prosperous city on the border of the empire? It shouldn't be. The population in the city was also relatively large. It felt like there were more people in the city than in ordinary cities.
In fact, the cities in the Hundred Tribes Empire were all similar. This was because the cities that each tribe built were considered their own country. It could also be considered the capital.
Because they were autonomous, they were very concerned about their own cities. The Imperial Court was more like a tool to unite these tribes. Usually, there were very few Patriarchs in the Imperial Court.
Other than when there was a big matter, the Patriarchs of each tribe would gather in the Imperial Court to discuss. At other times, they would stay in their own cities. It was also safer. As for the Imperial Court, they would send people to guard it for a long time.
The Imperial Court was built in the center of each tribe. It was also the center of the empire. The Martial Cultivators who stayed behind to guard the Imperial Court were also there to inform the various tribes in case something happened.
This also saved them the trouble of notifying them one by one. This was too time-consuming. Originally, in an era without things like teleportation arrays, if they still sent Martial Cultivators one by one, it would take too much time. If something big really happened, it would have already happened by the time they notified them.
This was still more efficient. If it was like the Aquamarine Empire, with the size of the Hundred Tribes Empire's territory, it would be too late to wait for the notice.
Of course, now that the Aquamarine Empire had finished setting up the teleportation array, the transmission of news couldn't be too fast. If the news was sent from Sentry Town, if they didn't care about the cost, they would be able to reach the capital in a few minutes.
If they had to wait in line, it wouldn't take too long. After all, the popularity of the teleportation array had caused more Martial Cultivators to use it. It wouldn't take long for the teleportation array to fill the number of people.
With the population of a city, the number of times it was used in a day was quite high. As long as it wasn't late at night, there should still be many Martial Cultivators using it during the day.
After wandering around, Mo Tiankong also stayed in a restaurant in the center of the city. This time, he didn't plan to cooperate with the Merchant Guild. The individual Merchant Guild was obedient, but there were many Merchant Guilds like last time. There were many Merchant Guilds that didn't put in effort.
Moreover, the Acropolis was quite prosperous. There weren't many requirements for setting up a stall. There was space on both sides of the street to set up a stall. It was also possible to set up a stall at the end of the street. In addition, there were many Martial Cultivators in the city. There would always be Martial Cultivators who would buy the stall. As long as someone used it, it would spread.
It wasn't too difficult to complete 1% of the Reputation. The main thing was that it wouldn't take too long. The Acropolis wasn't a standard city. It was built around a radius of about six hundred kilometers, but the population in the city was still very dense.
