----------------------
Xirui was born in the south of the city that never sleeps, and it is the richest area.
This planet has day and night, but the sun is very small and far away, while the satellite is big and round.
This leads to the same day and night, always dark, with only faint light rays illuminating the earth.
The origin of the City of Never Sleeping comes from the race on this planet, back to Shirou.
The whole body is like a diamond, so that it will reflect dazzling light as long as it receives a little sunlight.
This allows them to shine brightly anywhere without fear of darkness.
Of course, this means that no matter day or night, there is no need to embellish the entire city, and there is a sparkling look everywhere.
Some people must be wondering.
This is because back to Shishiren, what they have been pursuing for life is natural death.
It is their pursuit to make their lifespan come to an end.
This is also a very difficult thing, and accidents will happen at any time.
And as long as someone can die naturally, everyone in the city will know this news.
The reason is also very simple, the answer lies in their name: flashback.
A normal aging and death-deathed person will burst out the power of his body in the last second before death, like a red meteor shooting directly into the sky, and then burst open at the highest point it can reach. All the fragments will form a fog of light spots and echo the person's life in the flashing dust particles.
It lasts about two to four hours, and those who can successfully return to the flash will definitely receive blessings from the whole city. And relatives and friends will probably know which relative they are when they see the air scene, and they are proud of it.
I heard that the first king, Goodbye, returned to the end. There were figures of the people in the city in his fragments. He was also called the greatest king, and now it is in the hearts of every citizen.
So no matter where you are, all facilities and areas will not have roofs.
Even underground operations such as mining are almost carried out vertically.
All the people who return to the flashback are only afraid of two things. They will not have a good ending, and the top of their heads will be blocked when they return to the flashback.
The obstacles are huge, but there are actually two reasons.
The first point is to return to the fragility of flashing people. While the whole body is like a gem, the hardness of the body is also like a gem. Bumping may cause the body to break. Small fragments will only affect the quality of flashing dust at a good end, but if you have a large area of disability, it may not be able to take off or even burst into flash dust.
Many people work hard to maintain their lives, but unfortunately shatters ahead of time at the last moment of their lives.
The second point is to return to the lifespan of a flash person, and the same is true for the reason why the flash person has no concept of age.
Some will end up well in infancy, while others will age but have not yet reached the end.
In a few years, decades, decades, hundreds of years, an old man even became a legend, witnessing the rise and fall of more than 60 generations of kings, but he has not yet died.
Of course, this complicated situation has also led to many grandparents watching their descendants turn into flashes, but they have lost the ability to breed, and white-haired people give birth to black-haired people.
Of course, years of experience has told these people that there are signs before they die.
The outside of the body will first become transparent, so that you can see the red position of the heart like beating magma.
That is back to the heart of a flash. If the chest is flushed, it means that the good end is approaching.
But my chest is red, and everyone has different time to die.
Some people will die in three hours when they become popular, while others will take days or even weeks, but no one has ever exceeded one month.
This is all the secrets of Hui Shi Ren, and Hui Shi Ren is divided into different levels.
Have money but no money, have status and no status.
The monetary system of the city that never sleeps is called fluorite, which is a kind of luminous stone. Only a small area exists such fluorite and is distributed in batches by the king's heavy troops.
The king is the highest-ranking existence in the world. There is only one king in the city that never sleeps. In the early years, the fallen Hui Semitic people gathered together through war. After that, the sons inherited their father's business. Now they are 63 kings. Some generals who followed the army back then have now been awarded titles, namely nobles.
The king would donate fluorite to the nobles every year, and if the common people want to obtain money, they need to help the nobles work, which formed a system.
The titles of nobles are based on the proportion of fluorite distribution, from large to small, namely the title of king, duke, marquis, count, viscount, baron, soldier, and commoner.
From the common people's nothing to work for the nobles, the fluorite of soldiers is enough to fill their stomachs, and then each level is five times the fluorite of the next level.
It means that a baron can feed five people, and a viscount is twenty-five.
By analogy, the donations received by the king every year are enough for 15,625 people to have enough food.
Of course, the population of aristocrats may not be that large, so it is enough for everyone to have no worries about food and clothing.
Although this system is not very good, it has never been improved.
But after hundreds of years, a framework has been formed.
The outstanding people among the common people will be promoted, and the lonely people among the nobles will be forgotten.
The city never sleeps is now stable and peaceful. As for excellence and loneliness, it is important to be the quality of the flashbacks of those who are in a clan who are good at dying.
The civilians who have been busy all their lives have turned into brilliant fireworks. If they have taken care of generations of nobles and even royal families in the picture, they may be promoted by the king.
And a noble family can no longer see the news of a good ending, and over time the king will forget the existence of this noble family.
Without giving, if you can’t get fluorite, you can only do things for other nobles, so as to earn fluorite to keep yourself alive.
Xirui was born in the Western Expedition family and is a true descendant of aristocratic family.
The most wisest first king of that year gave the four largest titles to the four kings, namely the southeast, west and northeast.
The four kings of war also inherited their surnames from generation to generation and guarded all directions of the city that never sleeps.
Xirui, according to the principle, was descended from the King of the Western Expedition, but he lived in the south at this time.
The reason is very simple. Before the King of Western Expedition died, he had seven wives.
There was a dispute when the King of the Western Expedition was over. Everyone wanted their children to inherit the position of the king in the future.
As a result, the family broke up before the King of the Western Expedition died, and this scandal turned into flashes when the King of the Western Expedition died, revealing the entire city that never sleeps.
The title of King of the Western Expedition was finally taken down by his second wife's son.
But after that, the title of King of the Western Expedition, who could support 15,625 people, was divided into seven families according to different proportions.
Among them, Xirui's family was reorganized after the seventh wife split up.
It is the smallest population and the least status.
Xirui knew that the seventh wife of the King of the Western Expedition was his grandmother. After his grandmother's death, although Xirui's family still had the surname Xi, they were a noble-like existence in the eyes of outsiders.
