Chapter 1129: Chapter 161 Hive City and Rites of the Star Gods_2

The elves do not have the desire to develop intensive planting; they simply make use of the unique environment of World Tree City to house some planting zones.

If the elves had the need, he wouldn’t have to sell agricultural buildings to the Mountain People and the lords of Nanling Province. But they don’t.

Moreover, security officers and patrol knights equipped with flying backpacks traverse the air, conducting a three-dimensional survey of every corner inside World Tree City. As soon as any disturbance or conflict arises, they carve nimble arcs in mid-air, promptly arriving at the concerned compartment and immediately resolving all disputes.

However, such situations are quite rare, not because the elves are morally inclined, but because everyone knows this place is World Tree City, the headquarters of the Blood of the Ten Kings. They promise people a happy life here but absolutely will not tolerate anyone (except themselves) causing unrest here.

Anyone who dares to defy will die. Anyone willing to abide will live happily and freely.

“Aren’t there quite a few small vendors here?”

Ian turned his head as they passed over an area likely a food street in the sky, with a dozen or so Canaan Moore restaurants, featuring pastries, barbecues, and massive insect meat feasts aplenty, making the young man reflect greatly: “If there’s time later, I’ll definitely come and stroll around here.”

“They’re called small vendors, but any retailer opening a shop within World Tree City must have a background. Either they’re relatives of the leaders of large companies or chain brands established by the head offices themselves.”

Anfa understood Ian’s meaning; she shook her head slightly: “In such a densely populated area, World Tree City maintains good law and order, with no gangsters or thieves collecting protection fees or stealing, for one simple reason—everyone here is closely related to the Blood of the Ten Kings. Even seemingly unimpressive fruit vendors might have channels connecting to the head offices.”

“Everyone is an employee of a corporate group, one mistake leaves a record, getting expelled from World Tree City… leaving this prosperous city full of so many opportunities. Who would want that?”

“Especially in a city with Crystal Terminals.”

Ian nodded slightly, understanding. The elves have strong information technology, capable of real-time tracking of every elf, providing the greatest assurance of stability… absolute information control.

On Earth, even the Federal Government must operate under the regulatory assistance of AI to access civilian information, ensuring personal privacy and allowing some dangerous elements to hide their malice through various means. But in Canaan Moore, although the information technology level isn’t as high as Earth, the Blood of the Ten Kings can arbitrarily access anyone’s data, having absolute control over a person’s past.

The intensity of governance is not on the same level.

No wonder every Canaan Moore citizen will unequivocally utter that phrase—welcome to World Tree City, one of Terra’s most hospitable and bustling cities.

It truly lives up to this name, without a hint of exaggeration.

The Ashlight Family’s mansion is located at the highest part of the fourth level in the middle position within World Tree City.

In this beehive city where every inch of land seems rather cheap, the Blood of the Ten Kings has lavishly constructed an enormous three-dimensional mansion. From afar, it looks like a gigantic white hexagonal structure, with the surface made of luminous inscription plates displaying the projection of the Ashlight Family crest in a continuous loop, as well as the projection of Lady Xiya Lai Ta, the mother of Anfa and the head of the Ashlight Family.

Her projection smiles gently, overlooking the entire beehive city, majestic like a queen reigning over the world.

No… in reality, as the head of the Blood of the Ten Kings, a peak Fourth Energy Level powerhouse, she undoubtedly is the queen. It’s just that Canaan Moore’s societal system makes her seem more approachable, being referred to as a permanent committee member of Canaan Moore.

Both sides of the road leading to the Ashlight Sect’s mansion are planted with rows of Twilight Lamp Trees, whose leaves emit twilight-like dim light bright enough for the entire night, casting a calming and tranquil effect on anyone illuminated, easily alleviating the fatigue from a day’s labor and making sleep easier.

Its trunk is as solid and shiny as crystal, making it an exceptionally good ornamental tree.

“This is my home.”

Anfa led Ian and others into the mansion; the reception hall inside was spacious and bright, almost excessively wide, enough to accommodate armored actions. Ian felt something was amiss, so he scanned the surroundings with Foresight View and found the usual shoe cabinet position in a private home was actually a storeroom, housing an entire array of well-maintained armor suits.

——Is this a mansion? It’s a battle base, isn’t it? A reception hall, does your family use armor suits to line up in greeting to distinguished guests?

Ian felt like joking but held back. Because he was like this too, the lord’s mansion in Xiawei Territory next to the Magnetic Storm Armor Squad camp, with Cyclops Cannon Battery on the top floor, wasn’t any better.

You can only say, this is the lord of Tella Continent, right? .jpg

“Doesn’t seem very big. Feels… smaller than my nest!”

That was Sio’s comment, ignored by both Anfa and Ian—compared to a True Dragon nest? A True Dragon declaring an entire mountain range its nest just by sitting on a mountain, traveling eight hundred miles and calling it a stroll on the balcony, is there any need for comparison?
