This must be a big secret gossip Nene cautiously looked at the aunt in front of her, who claimed to be a vegetable seller, and suddenly heard so many secrets about Merlin, Emperor Odin, King Lantis and other first-class people in the world, not only did she not have any pride and joy in her heart, but she was a little more frightened.
She knows so many things, so many secret things about Merlin, one by one, like a few family treasures, what is her own way of going Sofia herself seemed to be a little in a certain mood of melancholy, so she simply grabbed the wine bottle, raised her head and poured it violently, drank the wine in the bottle in one go, and then slapped the table hard, and shouted, "Bring the wine" The one-eyed man who was hiding behind immediately responded, walked out with low eyebrows, and saw the empty wine bottle in front of Sofia, as well as the flush on his wife's face, and couldn't help but smile: "I said, you have rarely drunk alcohol, so let's drink less." ” When Aunt Sofia heard this, her eyes suddenly widened, she slapped the table hard, and shouted: "Where is so much nonsense, let you take it" One-eyed is obviously a typical character who is afraid of guilt, suddenly shrunk his neck, sighed and ran down, and after a while, he brought a wine bottle up and put it on the table, but he stood there, looking at Aunt Sofia with some concern, and refused to leave.
"What are you doing here" Aunt Sofia raised her eyelids, snorted, and shouted domineeringly: "Women talk, men don't come to do your work later" As soon as he said this, his heart was so tense that he listened to it inside, and he almost laughed out loud on the spot This mother-in-law, who claims to be a vegetable seller, speaks so fiercely, it seems that the tavern owner has not eaten much in peace.
One-eyed sighed, but because of his wife's Yinwei, he didn't dare to disobey, so he could only run back to the back step by step, but he hid at the door, pricking up his ears and eavesdropping.
Aunt Sofia didn't know what her husband was doing, and she didn't care about it, so she picked up the wine bottle in front of her, but this time she brought it to her mouth, and she didn't drink it for a long time, and finally sighed, put the wine bottle back on the table, looked up and stared at Nene, but suddenly asked very abruptly: "Little girl, do you know what are the strongest people in the world today?"
Nene was stunned, this question was a little clueless, but she hesitated for a moment, thought about it a little in her heart, and still replied: "I heard that there are several great mages in the Byzantine Empire's Magic Guild, and their magic strength is outstanding, but they are usually low-key and unwilling to be exposed to others, and their strength is very strong.
I also heard that there was a great swordsman who decided in the past, who once saved the life of Emperor Cantos on the battlefield, and once fought against the Odin God Emperor alone, and I think he is also a strong man with superb martial arts.
As for the rest of the Odin Empire, not to mention the strength of the God Emperor himself, there is also Hasting, known as the Odin Martial God, who has fought countless battles in his life, but has never been defeated, and I don't know how many Byzantine generals he has killed under the three-edged war spear, and he is also a top powerhouse As for Landis, it is natural to say that it is Merlin" Speaking of this, Nene's eyes suddenly flashed, and he said with a smile: "You old man, although I didn't see your origin, but I think you are also a strong man in the hidden world."
Aunt Sofia had a smile on her face: "What else?"
"And," Nene frowned and thought for a moment, "I can't think of it." ” Aunt Sofia glanced at Nene more, and suddenly asked: "You said Byzantium, Odin, and Lantis, but why did you forget the last force on the continent?"
When she said this, her eyes flashed, as if she was smiling, and her expression seemed to have a hint of mockery.
When Nene heard this, his expression suddenly moved slightly: "You" "Don't pretend to be stupid, I'm naturally talking about the Babylonian Free Collar" Nene's face changed suddenly, and he closed his mouth tightly.
If you talk about the three major forces in the human world today, they are naturally Byzantium, Odin, and the Kingdom of Lantis.
But in addition to these three forces, there is also a special existence: the Babylonian Free Lord.
It's just that, compared to these three powers, the Babylonian Free Territory is too small.
As a power that reads, the territory of the Babylonian Free Territory is weak, and as the name suggests, the so-called Free Territory is just a city-state.
To the east of the continent, in the north-central part of the Realm of Chaos, this is another force of human beings.
When it comes to territorial size, the sphere of influence of this Babylonian free territory is not even a tenth of the size of a county in the Byzantine Empire.
But when it comes to a long history, this reading power exists in a third-party power outside the powerful empires of the continent, and its history is even older and more legendary than that of Byzantium and Odin, two thousand-year-old empires.
The Babylonian Free Territory is centered around the city of Babylon, the oldest city on the mainland.
The ancient city of Babylon is the only city and the only territory of this free territory.
In the ancient history of the continent, legend has it that in ancient times, before the Byzantine Empire and Odin appeared, there was a huge empire, and the territory of the ancient human empire encompassed the entire continent, and even most of the territories of the current Byzantine and Odin empires belonged to that great human empire in ancient times.
Unifying the entire continent, the vast territory and the strength of the country, it is said that the ancient empire was once the most powerful era of mankind, and even other races had to bow their heads to the humans at that time.
But unfortunately, in the long historical years, the ancient super empire that was once rampant finally collapsed, and after a number of years, the changes of history, and finally the continent was divided into countless small countries, and thousands of years ago, Byzantium unified the southern part of the continent, and Odin unified the northern tribes, becoming a situation of confrontation between the north and the south of the continent.
The ancient empire that once existed has not even left much of its history.
However, this ancient city of Babylon, which was once the location of Yanjing, the super empire of ancient times, has been preserved.
If Osgilia Yanjing is now the first heroic city on the mainland, it is the crystallization of the civilization of the Byzantine Empire.
Then the ancient city of Babylon is the oldest city in the human world, and it is also the relic left by the most glorious era of the human world.
The city of Babylon is located in the Lords of Chaos, geographically sandwiched between Odin, Byzantium, and the Lords of Chaos.
From ancient times to the present, it has maintained its status outside the two empires, and it is a series of its own.
Although this power is extremely weak and has only one city, for thousands of years, no matter how the two empires of Odin and Byzantium have expanded externally, they have never had the idea of fighting the city of Babylon.
What's even more bizarre is that both the Odin Empire and the Byzantine Empire have a similar legend: the royal family has left an iron law from ancient times: Babylon is the land of eternal conquest For thousands of years, the Odin Empire and the Byzantine Empire fought and made peace, whether Odin was stronger than Byzantium, or Byzantium was stronger than Odin, but the two empires really never sent even a single soldier to fight the idea of the Babylonian Free Lord.
And the Babylonian Free Lord, as a small city-state, has always maintained this posture of reading freedom.
Although the population of the Free Territory is small, most of them regard themselves as the inheritors of the ancient authentic civilization of mankind.
Moreover, because it has not been baptized by war for thousands of years, the Babylonian Free Territory has become the only safest and most transcendent force on the continent.
Because of this peculiar status, the Babylonian Free Territory became the most prosperous commercial region on the continent, and it was also the richest power in legend.
After thousands of years of peace, and the eternal neutrality between the two empires, the Babylonian Free Lords amassed an astonishing fortune.
Legend has it that merchants from all over the world gather there almost every day, and the daily volume of transactions is staggering, and almost all the rarest and rarest goods in the world can be found there.
Legend has it that the walls of the city of Babylon were made of gold bricks, and every house was lit without lights, but with night pearls and precious stones, the city was lit all year round, and the merchant groups of any nation or power could be protected by free lords without being disturbed.
Furthermore, the two empires on the continent often have a situation of conquest against the enemy, often once the two countries declare war, they naturally begin to close each other off business, and when it comes to this time, it is often the time for the Babylonian free lords to make a fortune, after all, once the trade routes are cut off, the merchant groups of the two countries must continue to trade, they must be carried out through the Babylonian free lords, a third party who is always neutral and readable.
Over time, the city of Babylon has one more name: the Eternal City.
As a free lord, Babylon's political system was also different from that of the three great powers of mankind at that time, and it was not a pure monarchy, but somewhat similar to the senate system that existed in Byzantium.
In the Babylonian Free Territory, there was a guild of the Free Lords who were in charge of the management of the city, including the power to set tax rates, control the operation of the city, and so on.
All the members of this guild were merchants in Babylon, the only region in the world today where there was no traditional "aristocracy".
And in the city of Babylon, there is another special and transcendent being, who is the "city lord" of the city of Babylon.

The city lord is a hereditary system, and legend has it that the city lord is a royal descendant of the ancient human super empire, with the most noble blood among human beings in the world today, and is the real gate of the emperor and nobles of ten thousand years.
The lord of the city had a transcendent and noble position in Babylon, but he did not have absolute dominion like the emperors of other empires, and although he was in a transcendent position, most of the power was still in the hands of the guilds.
The lord of the castle only has immunity from the law, as well as the right of amnesty.
At the same time, the lord of the city was not allowed to engage in any form of commerce, but he was able to receive a percentage of the annual income from the commerce of the city of Babylon.
Thousands of years of peace, eternal trade exchanges, one can imagine what kind of astonishing wealth such a noble gate valve has accumulated It can be said that if you talk about the most powerful family in the human world, some people may think that it is the Byzantine royal family, the royal family of Odin, or the royal family of Lantis, but if you talk about the richest family, there is no doubt that it must be the lord of the city of Babylon This 10,000-year-old imperial bloodline has already been endowed with too many mysterious and legendary halos by the world, especially their pride and dignity.
There is a legend that hundreds of years ago, the Byzantine Empire was the most powerful era, almost overwhelming the Odin Empire, and it had the potential to defeat Odin, and once even had the momentum to reunify the continent.
At that time, the Byzantine emperor was full of pride and ambition, and he finally thought about the fat of Babylon, but because of the legendary iron law of the royal family, he did not dare to send troops to invade, but he came up with an idea and sent an envoy to Babylon to freely ask to see the city lord at that time, hoping to marry the eldest daughter of the city lord, and promised that once he married a wife, he would give her the status of queen.
And the Byzantine emperor's idea was also very cunning: legend has it that the city lord at that time had no children, and after the city lord died, the emperor married the daughter of the city lord, and he could justifiably strive to inherit the position of the city lord: with his own body, he had both the status of the Byzantine emperor and the city lord of Babylon, and he would naturally have the opportunity to annex Babylon by peaceful means in the future.
But as a result, the city lord did not hesitate to reject the powerful Byzantine royal family at that time.
The reason for the refusal of the city lord at the time was simply arrogant to the extreme: blood His reply was to the effect: Although you are the emperor of Byzantium, when it comes to bloodline, your ancestor is just a low-level nobleman, and my Babylonian family, in ancient times, was the real emperor of the human race, how can you be qualified to match my daughter Speaking of qualifications, any commoner in the city of Babylon, retrospectively, the ancestor's bloodline may be ten times more noble than the emperor of your Byzantine Empire Want to marry my daughter, wait until you really unify the continent and become the common emperor of the human race Although the Byzantine emperor was angry, he was helpless with Babylon, and finally had to give up.
And there is another legend about the Babylonian Free Territory: it sits next to the Realm of Chaos, after all Although the two great empires of mankind will not provoke it, the realm of chaos is not a human world, and there are still elves and other races such as the legendary giants living there.
The attitude of those races towards humans has not been too friendly since time immemorial.
But Babylon is surrounded by tigers and wolves, but it is safe and sound, whether it is the proud elves or the giants, they rarely provoke the Babylonian free lords, even the irascible dwarves, they are willing to trade some of the iron they forge with the people of the Babylonian free lords.
The root cause is that legend has it that there is a mysterious protector in the city of Babylon.
