Ashes City-State.
This place was located in the west of the Valoran Continent.
It was built a hundred years ago because it used to be a forest. At some point, a fire broke out and burned everything, turning the entire forest into ashes.
The city-state was built on the ashes, so it was named the Ashes City-state.
The city had a large population of more than 300,000.
After a hundred years of development, the city was ruled by nobles. Although there were mages and warriors, under the abnormal development, people with or without strength only had one dream.
Become a noble.
After becoming a noble of the Ashes City-State, they would be able to become one of the higher-ups in the city-state. They would have power, enjoy delicious soft bread, and sleep in the arms of soft beauties at night, enjoying everything.
A new day had arrived.
Outside the city-state, in a mine in a mountain.
A middle-aged miner was waving his hoe, sweating.
It was noon, and a rough man came to bring him food. It was a kind of black bread made of mixed grains and other things. It was very hard and did not taste good. It had a strange smell, but it was very resistant to hunger. Other than that, there was the worst beer.
The brawny man laughed heartily as he ate black bread and drank beer. "When I have enough gold coins, I will buy a seat as a small noble and live a good life. I will eat soft bread every day, drink delicious red wine, and play with those sexy women.”
"Hahaha, Old Chalk, the cheapest noble costs 1000 gold coins. How long do you need to save to afford it?”The rough man beside him laughed.
"Hmph, I'm still young. I'll be able to save up after working hard for another ten or so years.”Old Chalk said confidently. Although his hair was gray, he felt that he was still young.
The rough man beside him didn't say anything and just ate quietly.
Because his dream was the same as Old Chalk's.
However, he knew that he was old. In his dream, he set a goal for himself. He wanted to marry a woman, give birth to a fat son, and help his son become a noble.
Thinking of the woman he had been thinking about day and night, a knowing smile appeared on the rough man's face. It was as if he had thought of something happy, and his smile was sweet.
He ate and drank to his heart's content.
The two rough men continued to mine.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
He waved the hoe one by one, and sweat splattered everywhere.
Suddenly.
Clang.
"What happened?"
Old Chalk was puzzled. He seemed to have dug into something hard just now, which shook his hand and made it sore and numb.
"It should be some hard rock. Let's dig again.”The rough man said.
Old Chalk nodded and started digging again.
Just as the rough man said, it was a hard rock.
However, when Old Chalk dug out the rock, there was a deep purple crack with black swimming behind it. It was inexplicably terrifying.
"Hehehe ~"
The terrifying sound of an unknown creature could be heard from the crack.
Old Chalk and the rough man were so scared that they took a few steps back, their faces pale.
"This, this couldn't be the devil's lair, right?”The rough man said in horror.
"Demon? No, it can't be, right?"
Old Chalk's face was pale and his lips were trembling.
"W-why don't we report to the guards first? No matter what it was, it was something that the nobles should worry about.”
"Yes, yes, yes. Let's go and report to the guards.”
The two rough men quickly grabbed their hoes and left the mine.
Not long after they left.
Inside the crack.
A ferocious creature crawled out from within. It was covered in purple armor and looked like a python, but it had four limbs. There were many sharp spikes growing from many places, emitting a cold light.
Its cold eyes wandered around the mine. In the end, it crawled out of the crack and wandered around the mine.
Behind this monster, more monsters crawled out.
Not long after.
Old Chalk and the rough man led a few guards into the mine.
"Ah!"
A shrill scream rang out, startling the nearby miners and scaring them into leaving in a panic.
On the second day.
The city-state sent a team of warriors.
He wanted to find out what had happened in the mine.
But in the end, only a warrior with a broken arm escaped. When he returned, he had already fallen into madness and became a lunatic, constantly raving about monsters.
On the third day.
Another team arrived. This time, there were many powerful mages in the team.
They entered the mine and discovered the Void Monster in the mine. After fighting separately, only a few people escaped and reported the situation.
Just as they were thinking of a solution, the Void Creatures took the initiative to leave the mine and attack the city.
A mage.
Warrior.
None of these could withstand the sharp claws of the void creature.
Under the devouring of the Void Creatures, the entire city turned into ruins in just half a month, and a large number of residents fled.
All of this seemed extremely normal.
Some miners dug through the monster's nest in the mine, making people think that it was where the monsters lived.
The monsters left their nest and destroyed the city, making people think that it was the monsters 'revenge.
However, no one knew that all of this was just the manipulation of the Heavenly Dao.
In the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, everything had to appear natural and normal.
Ye Jun saw everything.
He didn't even need the void to make a move. He could easily deal with it himself.
However, letting the void monsters attack would make the fleeing people more aware of the importance of power and the importance of progress.
Ye Jun's gaze pierced through the void and focused on Valoran.
He saw it.
After the void monsters left the city, a group of people arrived at the ruins.
He was one of the nobles who had once fled the city. He had returned, as if he could not bear to part with his homeland.
"We want to rebuild Ashes City-State. Those abominable monsters can't stop us. This time, we have even more power and powerful mages.”
"We can kill them or seal them.”
"Our roots are here, so we came back here today.”
"Rebuild the city, everyone."
The nobles seemed to have gained more power and confidence, and they returned here.
Ye Jun's gaze was calm, and he no longer paid attention to it.
No matter what would happen to this city-state in the end, if there was no improvement...
One day, they would be destroyed again.
