Summoning the Priest to Find a Wife in the Demon World

Chapter 112 Entering the Ancient Shu Capital

Pei Er asked curiously, "You don't want to practice fighting warriors and controlling warriors together, do you?"

The fat man shook his head. "This is not a conflict. The shield is my means of defense. I am not just a warrior controller. I should be called a warrior fighter now."

After saying that, the fat man took out a sledgehammer and threw it on the ground. With a "bang", the qinggang stone floor was cracked. The weight was definitely not lighter than Ian's Eternal Night Staff Gun.

"Fatty, your hammer is not light!"

"That's right, I was born with supernatural powers, haha. This time I inherited 90% of my ancestor's bloodline, how about that, not bad, right!"

Seeing the fat man bragging, Pei'er couldn't help but criticize him: "It's not 100% yet!"

"Ah... I want to, too, but the highest ancestral bloodline is only 90%. There's nothing I can do about it. But my father has high expectations of me now!"

With his talent and hard work, Fatty finally got the recognition from Pang Zun, which was what he had always hoped for.

"Boss, when are we going to Ancient Shu?"

"Anytime, what are your plans, uncle?"

"Father will take us there personally, and the family affairs can be left to Third Uncle for the time being."

Then let’s go find my uncle without further ado!

The road to Shu is difficult, harder than climbing to the sky, which proves that the terrain here is mostly mountainous and the road is dangerous. However, the five people in the group are all cultivators, so it is not a problem for them.

Due to the large number of mountains, dense forests and a mainly humid climate, the ancient Shu was a race as well as a country. This country has been passed down for tens of thousands of years and has a profound cultural heritage. Unlike other humans on the Shen'en Continent, they have not experienced countless national civilizations, so that no new country has emerged until now.

The selection of the chief judge in the ancient Shu Kingdom was not hereditary, but the descendants of the old chief judge would be given priority. Most importantly, the judge had to pass the test of having the highest moral character, mind, and martial power before being selected as the next chief judge.

They have the Hall of Elders, the Hall of Wizards, the Hall of Military Marshals, etc., but everyone must obey the orders of the Chief Judge. It is because of such a highly centralized system that the entire country can be governed in an orderly manner.

The five people traveled at full speed for a day and finally arrived at the capital city of ancient Shu. If you look from the sky, this is a huge basin with many mountains and rivers and abundant water resources.

Fudu was the political, economic and cultural center of ancient Shu. It was surrounded by mountains, which was the most natural barrier. There were farmlands inside. Another 300 kilometers inside was the capital city.

The capital city is divided into the inner city and the outer city. There are no city walls, only a moat about 1 km wide. Eighty-one large bridges are built around it. The area within the moat is completely off-limits to the air, and no creature is allowed to fly over. If any living creature is found flying over, the ban will be triggered and it will be killed instantly.

The upper class people of ancient Shu all wore masks on their heads, but strangely, no two masks were exactly the same. The common feature of the masks was that the eyes bulged outward.

Ordinary civilians are not allowed to wear masks. Soldiers, nobles, and judges wear bronze masks, while powerful people wear golden masks. The chief judge also does not wear a mask, but wears a golden crown on his head.

Along the way, Pang Zun popularized the culture of ancient Shu to them...

The northwest gate of the outer city of the capital city is called a gate, but in fact it is a huge archway ten meters high and one hundred meters wide. On it is a huge plaque with five vigorous and powerful characters "Northwest Gate of Outer City" written in it.

A group of bronze-masked soldiers were already waiting there. When the leader saw Pang Zun and the others coming, he came forward to greet them. Ian discovered that there was a big "Bai" character on the man's armor. This was the centurion of the Marshal's Hall, who could command ten decanters.

Pang Zun also stepped forward quickly. The centurion saluted, said a few simple words to Pang Zun, and then turned back.

Pang Zun turned around and said, "Follow me into the city. Don't make any noise and don't walk around."

Led by a team of centurions, everyone came to the inner city archway with a plaque that read "Northwest Gate of Inner City". Here was the centurion, who also commanded ten centurions and enjoyed noble treatment.

The inner city is generally a place where only people of status can live. Other people are not allowed to enter at will. Opening a store here requires special approval.

The group continued walking in and came to a place called "City within a City", where there was a city wall with eight gates built according to special orientations.

After entering the first city gate, which was simply called the Third Ring, they walked a thousand meters and saw the second city wall, which was the Second Ring. There were four gates on this wall, and they met another group of people waiting there.

The leader was a captain of ten thousand men, commanding ten captains of a thousand men and enjoying legal treatment. Ian and his companions were shocked, from this they could see that the hierarchy of the ancient Shu Kingdom was extremely strict.

Inside the third city gate, even the captain of ten thousand men was not allowed to enter without being summoned.

There is a team of golden armored guards waiting at the gate to take over the task. Inside the city gate is the Shu Palace, which is the center of the city. This team of golden armored guards is called the Imperial Palace Army, and their main responsibility is to defend the Shu Palace with the strongest combat force.

Apart from the handover between the captains, no one talked to each other. The journey felt very tedious and depressing. Whether in the inner city or the outer city, the streets were bustling with people, but they had no mind to appreciate or patronize them.

The palace was very magnificent, very much like the Forbidden City that Ian had seen in his previous life, but many parts were made of bronze and some gold.

The Imperial Guards led five people straight to a back garden, where they saw a man wearing a priest's robe, a ferocious golden mask, and holding a swan-deer staff.

"Great wizard, the person has been brought here!"

The great wizard nodded, waved his hand gently, and the imperial army retreated.

The great wizard waved his hands, and a strange magic circle made of animal bones appeared on the ground, and he chanted an unknown ballad.

This is an ancient form of witchcraft, unique to the ancient Shu people. Their witchcraft can both bring good luck and avoid disaster, and can also defeat the enemy. It is a special branch of prophecy.

At this moment, a strange feeling filled their hearts and everyone felt dizzy. However, it was strange that they knew what was happening but their bodies could not move at all. If any enemy came now, they could take their lives.

What's even more terrifying is that it seems as if this wizard can see through him. Ian tries his best to stop him, but it's no use.

Ian has many secrets, especially the fact that he was reborn, the secret of the ancient dragon bones, the two spirit beads, his master Makino, and so on.

At this time, a black and white light circle emanated from Pearl's body, covering the five of them and returning them to normal, but the great wizard had no intention of stopping.

Two breaths later, an even more terrifying breath broke through Pei'er's light shield, and the treasure rat jumped out, "Chi..." and made a shrill strange cry towards the great wizard.

The beast bone magic circle in front of the great wizard was broken and turned into a gust of strange wind.

Bigger roared angrily to the sky and was about to attack the other party. Ian hurriedly stopped him, "Bigger, stop..."
