The next morning, when they woke up, all the friends at the Illusory Wine Shop were enjoying delicious steamed buns.
When Jin Tong ate steamed buns for the first time, he was very surprised and delighted.
"My God, this is delicious! What is this? It's white and fragrant."
Bei Ji walked over and said to Jin Tong with a smile, "Uncle Jin Tong, this is a steamed bun. The one you're holding is one I made!"
The boy ate it all in one gulp, asking, "Is there any more? Is there any more?"
Bei Ji stuck out her tongue at Jin Tong, "There are some, but not many. They're all over there, take them yourself."
"And you?" Jin Tong asked.
Bei Ji said with a grin, "You eat what I make, let's go eat what Mom makes!"
Si Yan still took a nap, though it wasn't long, but probably because she was very happy, she was in good spirits.
After she finished brushing her teeth, Wang handed her the steamed bun.
"Who wrapped this?" Si Yan asked.
The snake-beastman smiled. "I made it."
Si Yan smiled and ate it.
The snake-beastman said, "I'll sleep with you tonight, but you can't get up and cause any more trouble."
Si Yan said, "Okay, I promise I'll be good tonight."
...
"Do you know what the water city in the four main cities looks like? You don't think it's inhabited by mermaids, do you?"
"What else?"
"I know, I know!"
Water City was a large tribe that floated on the water. It was originally called Water Village, but the name was changed to City because there were too many orcs.
The people living in the water city are orcs who can live both in the water and on the shore.
They had strange appearances, and some were even cold-blooded orcs.
"What about the abandoned city?"
Another orc answered quickly: "I know that. Most of the orcs in the desolate city live in the desert, and their composition is more complex."
There are desert eagle orcs, desert wolf orcs, desert python orcs, camel orcs, and even cold-blooded orc scorpion orcs.
The previous lord of the desolate city was originally a wolf-like beastman, but this time it seems he has been replaced by a cold-blooded scorpion-like beastman.
"Both the Water City and the Wasteland City have cold-blooded orcs?? That's terrifying!"
Are they all going to attend the Wancheng Conference?
"It's not just them. That mysterious illusory territory is said to have driven out the fox clan, leaving only the silver wolf clan and some merfolk beastmen. They will also participate in the Ten Thousand Cities Gathering."
The orc swallowed hard out of fear. "I know the illusory territory. It used to be full of snake orcs, lots and lots of snake orcs."
Although they have difficulty reproducing, if they can produce a female snake-beastman, their females will reproduce wildly, giving birth to dozens of offspring in one litter.
If there are no females, they will go out and steal females from other tribes, forcing them to bear their children!
"They're not that bad. All I know are wandering beastmen from outside who steal females. The Void Territory is managed, and if they want to mate, they'll find a way to exchange precious females with other races."
Upon hearing this, one of the females exclaimed, "Who would want to go to a tribe like that? It's full of snakes, it's terrifying! They must have been forced to go!!"
"That's right, I don't like snake-beastmen. They're all cold-blooded, selfish, and terrifying."
"What kind of female do you think the Lady of the Illusionary Lord is? She's too strong. She actually dared to provoke the snake beastman."
"I heard she's incredibly beautiful. One look at her and you're captivated."
"Do you know the Illusion Wine Shop? That's her business. It's said that she brews all the wine."
"I've also heard that she's very clever, and even the wise men of the City of Ten Thousand Beasts admire her."
She posted a riddle, and the answer was displayed at the Illusionary Tavern, waiting for the wise man to solve it and reveal the answer. However, the wise man, Gray Parrot, still hasn't solved it.
"I also heard that on the day of the auction, Miss Baolin called her 'sister.' She seems to be the second young lady of the City of Ten Thousand Beasts."
"Wow, are you guys serious? That's amazing!"
"Such a powerful female, she must be a messenger of the Beast God."
"Go away, go away, there are no more Beast Gods, so what are you talking about, Beast God Messenger?"
"Pah, don't talk nonsense. The older generation has said that there is a Beast God. The Beast God loves to sleep. In the past, when priests tried to communicate with the Beast God, nine out of ten times he was asleep. He was just sleeping. Maybe he overslept and fell into a coma."
"Tch, I don't believe it. If the Beast God is just sleeping, then the priests should theoretically be able to see a light or a phantom when they communicate with him. But in recent years, even the High Priest of White Eagle City has failed to communicate with the Beast God. You're telling me now that the Beast God is just sleeping? I suspect that the Beast God has already abandoned us."
"Isn't there the City of Ten Thousand Gathering? One of the events of the City of Ten Thousand Gathering is the Priest Competition. In this Priest Competition, the priests of all races will definitely give it their all. Maybe we'll even get to see the Beast God."
"What if we still can't communicate with the Beast God?"
"The inability to communicate does not prove that the Beast God has left us; perhaps he simply does not want to talk to us."
Si Yan walked down the street, listening to the conversations of the passersby.
After listening to this, she had a general understanding of the Wancheng Society.
Shechuan explained the Wancheng Association to Siyan from the side.
"My lord, my lady. I have found out about the Wancheng Society, and I will tell you all now."
All the orcs listened attentively.
Shechuan said, "The Wancheng Tournament is roughly divided into four competitions: witch doctor, priest, sage, and warrior."
"Because the wise are the most concerned items, the first competition is often the competition of the wise."
Unlike modern humans, orcs are impatient and prioritize what matters most.
"The Grand Competition of Wise Men lasted for seven days."
Si Yan asked, "Are all seven cities competing at once? Will there be several matches, or will it be over in one match?"
Shechuan said, "Seven days is just one event."
Si Yan understood.
Shechuan continued, "According to the pattern of previous years, the Sage Competition is followed by the Witch Doctor Competition, and then the Warrior Competition. The Priest Competition requires the summoning of the Beast God, so it is the last competition."
Yin Hong said, "The martial arts competition is easy; we have so many people here who can fight. There are also the priests, witch doctors, and sages left."
While military strength is certainly important for a large power, wise men, priests, and witch doctors, though few in number, can be considered equally important.
Therefore, these three factors are also important indicators for judging whether a force is powerful.
Si Yan said, "I'll go."
She was a sage, a priest, and a witch doctor—she knew a little bit of everything.
Shechuan said, "Madam, I'm afraid that won't work. Wancheng has a rule that a person can only participate in a maximum of two events."
Tyson asked in surprise, "There's such a rule?"
Two items...
The martial arts tournament is easy enough; what about the priests, witch doctors, and sages? What's in the illusory territory?
Yin Hong said, "Before we set off, my mother mentioned to me that she would come to the City of Ten Thousand Beasts after she had settled the Silver Wolf Tribe in the Illusory Territory. My mother is a witch doctor, so she can give it a try."
Si Yan nodded. "Alright, then we'll leave the witch doctor part to Yin Xiu. I'll handle the sage and priest parts."
