Chapter 491: Golden City Shandora
"No need for courtesy, everyone, please stand up first."
Gan Fall helped these people up with a smile on his face.
Then his expression became solemn, and he issued his first order after re-ascending to the "God" position:
"Now, let us warmly welcome our special guest of Sky Island, Excellency Lord Lord Heixing from the Blue Sea!"
Involving the big shot who defeated Enel, the guards and priests did not dare to be slow,
hurriedly lined up in two neat rows, and under Gan Fall's leadership, they bowed together:
"Welcome Excellency Lord Lord Heixing!"
Step step.
With a light and powerful sound of footsteps, a young man with a tall but not thin figure,
perfect posture, wearing a black windbreaker, a handsome face, and a smile on the corner of his mouth,
which made people feel good at first glance, came into their view.
Zhang Jie waved his hand: "Everyone stand up."
He is no longer interested in these ritualistic ceremonies now.
On one hand, his strength no longer needs these cumbersome ceremonies to emphasize his identity.
On the other hand, the experiences of Zhang Jie of Heaven-Dependent and Zhang Jie of Water Margin made him a bit tired of this.
As founding monarchs, they didn't need to follow those cumbersome rituals, but the people around them didn't dare to be like this,
one by one, every word and every sentence conformed to etiquette, making them tired of watching.
"Let's go to Shandora."
Leaving Gan Fall and Amazon to deal with the disqualification of Enel,
Zhang Jie took Kuliket and the three to the Golden City.
The Black God floated, left the giant beanstalk of the God's Shrine, and continued to descend.
Subsequently, what came into the view of Zhang Jie and others was a huge city ruin.
Although it had become a ruin, one could still see tilted golden tower-shaped buildings,
relief walls engraved with unknown characters, and golden houses half-covered by clouds,
these remaining scenes silently told of its former magnificence.
"Golden City Shandora, this is the Golden City that the ancestor/Mr. Norland said!"
Looking at the city ruins below, Kuliket and the three were crying, excited and unable to restrain themselves.
Zhang Jie did not have such complex feelings as Kuliket and the others; he was appreciating the ruins of the Golden City.
First, it was that unprecedented huge Knock-Up Stream, which made the whole city fall apart and become a ruin.
After 400 years of time, in Shandora, this famous Golden City,
most of the golden buildings had been eroded and submerged by island clouds, sinking to the bottom of the clouds, only revealing the tops of some buildings;
including huge golden city gates, broken golden towers, stone pillars, and city walls.
The architectural style was somewhat similar to the ancient civilizations of ancient Egypt or Central and South America before he transmigrated, with ancient characters engraved on the surface.
The giant beanstalk that wrapped around the ruins of the ancient city and shot straight into the sky grew in the ruins,
becoming one of the most conspicuous landmarks in this ruin.
In the center of the Shandora ruins, there was also a huge bell-shaped building cast entirely of gold.
It was huge in size, and even after experiencing 400 years of wind and rain and vine entanglement,
it still emitted a dazzling light, unable to cover its essence.
"Buzz, Master, have arrived at the destination Shandora, whether to land."
"Land."
Having come here, Zhang Jie naturally would not give up halfway.
The intelligent system Black God then controlled the Black God to land on an open space in the ruins.
Arriving on the ruins, Zhang Jie looked up, only to see that most of Shandora's buildings were submerged under the island clouds,
with only the tops exposed, forming a complex underground maze and ground ruins.
"Shandora!"
Kuliket excitedly kissed the land here.
"Shandora, I didn't expect that we would also have the opportunity to set foot on this legendary land."
Ape and Orangutan were also full of emotion.
"Excellency Lord Lord Heixing, I am extremely grateful!
Although my strength is weak and my position is low, in the future, if there is any instruction, I will definitely do my best!"
After drunkenly kissing the land of Shandora, Kuliket came to
Zhang Jie and bowed deeply, his head almost touching the knife clouds under his feet.
"Thank you, Excellency Lord Lord Heixing!"
Ape and Orangutan also bowed respectfully.
They all knew that if it weren't for Zhang Jie, even if they had deduced that Shandora was on Sky Island,
they would absolutely not have had the opportunity to set foot here.
Not to mention using the Knock-Up Stream to ascend the Accumulation Cloud, which had the risk of ship destruction and death;
even if they were lucky enough to come to Sky Island, Enel was also an insurmountable mountain standing in front of them.
"Let's continue to the center, I am also very interested in the 'Light of Shandora'."
Zhang Jie said indifferently, and took the lead to walk towards the center of the Shandora ruins.
The golden bell known as the "Light of Shandora" was there.
Kuliket and the three hurriedly stepped to follow behind him.
"Sky Island people are really not interested in gold at all."
Zhang Jie picked up a piece of gold block from the ruins, which was truly full of gold everywhere, although not pure gold,
but the gold plating on the outside made it not rot or decay for four hundred years, and sighed.
A city built entirely of gold,
using priceless to describe it is simply insulting it; it is truly containing a heavenly amount of wealth.
According to Zhang Jie's simple estimation, even if most of the buildings here are not pure gold,
but a mixture of gold and other metals and elements,
but if all the gold here could be extracted, it would be worth at least hundreds of billions of Berries.
This money is enough to bounty hundreds of Four Emperors, smile~
And such a city, if it were placed on the sea, I am afraid all parties would break their heads for its ownership,
even the Navy, the Four Emperors, and even the World Government would join in.
But such a city has been lying here quietly for four hundred years,
not to mention ordinary Sky Island residents,
even the past generations of Gods of Sky Island, who theoretically own its ownership, have not developed it,
Zhang Jie can only say that gold indeed does not have much significance to Sky Island people.
But thinking about it, gold can be used as the most value-preserving general equivalent,
besides it not rotting or decaying, and being the best to preserve, its scarcity is also a big point.
Sky Island originally did not have many people, plus so much gold in Shandora,
if gold were really used as a general equivalent, the economy of Sky Island would likely collapse directly,
and then Sky Island people would really be holding a golden rice bowl and begging.
For Sky Island people, gold, which cannot be eaten and has high density,
affecting movement in the air, is not as precious as a handful of soil.
"Hiss hiss~"
While Zhang Jie was thinking, a giant python suddenly rushed out from a ruin.
Its length is difficult to foresee at this time, but just the body it revealed could circle this ruin covering thousands of square meters,
and its opened mouth was like a black hole, able to swallow a group of people including Zhang Jie in one bite.
From far away, Kuliket and the others could smell the fishy wind it brought.
Obviously, this is not only a giant python whose size exceeds ordinary pythons, but also a poisonous snake with strong poison. ===== CHAPTER 492 =====
