Chapter 208 208 Heir Selection (1)
Looking at the jade in Si Yuan's hand, Xia Tian not only confirmed that the identity of the person in front of her was extraordinary, but also guessed to a certain extent Si Ye's identity and the reason why he appeared in such a remote area.
In this era, this kind of precious jade that has been carefully carved is not easy to obtain, and the places where it can be found are almost all linked to the center of power.
For example, the He Shi Bi from the Spring and Autumn Period of China was originally just a beautiful piece of jade, but it was used as the imperial seal.
The only people who could come up with such jade, apart from the craftsmen who carved the jade and the thieves, were the bigwigs at the center of power.
Xia Tian originally guessed that this person was just the patriarch of a large tribe, but she didn't expect that the first move he made was the city lord's order. This means that this person is at least at a leadership level in Beast City, which means that he is at least the city lord's confidant.
As for whether he is the city lord... Xia Tian is not sure yet, and dare not be sure.
You have to know that the Beast World is not the Earth of the 21st century, where any place can be called a "city".
The original owner had heard from the old patriarch of the Jintong tribe that the entire continent was divided into four regions, namely the East Wilderness, the West Region, the South Continent and the North Border, and each region was independent of each other and did not interfere with each other.
Xia Tian didn’t know about other places, but on the Eastern Wilderness Continent where they were now, there was only one Eastern City.
Assuming that what the man in front of me said was true, assuming that he was the mayor of Dongfang City, then he would be the most powerful person in the entire Donghuang Continent, truly the center of everyone's attention.
And Si Ye... is very likely one of the candidates for the future city lord.
As for why he was exiled to such a place, Xia Tian once heard him say that it was because he drank a cursed potion when he was a child, which turned him into his current orc appearance and was finally exiled to such a place.
The reason behind this is probably closely related to the struggle for the throne, and is probably very complicated.
But the contradiction is, it would be fine if Si Ye was exiled, but why did Dongfang City send people to look for him? Did they want to bring him back?
But, will Dongfang City allow a "half-orc" to sit on the throne of city lord?
Xia Tian did not raise her hand to take the "Imperial Seal", but just looked at Si Yuan quietly, waiting for the next words.
"What? You don't want the City Lord's Order?" Si Yuan looked at the girl in surprise.
He didn't expect that even after he told her what he was holding in his hand, the female in front of him was still so indifferent, showing her extreme caution.
If she really grew up in such a remote small tribe, she would definitely not have such a reaction.
Even if they are simply attracted by the beauty of a piece of jade, there will be some surprise or greed in their eyes. He has seen too many people like this.
But Xia Tian didn't have any improper thoughts at all.
She looked at her own eyes very calmly, and only briefly glanced at them in the middle, just to see clearly what it was.
He was very confused, thinking that she had no idea what the object in his hand meant. After thinking about the purpose of his trip, he patiently explained, "You may not know what the City Lord's Order means..."
"I'm sorry to interrupt you, but actually, I don't care what you're holding." Xia Tian felt physically uncomfortable with Si Yuan's condescending gaze and had to interrupt the conversation. "What exactly do you want to do?"
