Cooking In Another World - Chapter 13 Yay More History

“At last, we have reached the city.” Wang Zh Qiang said. As the carriage went to the top of a slope, a city started to appear within my sight. A large city is in between two gigantic statues of what appeared to be chihuahuas. The two statues are doing the pose of the British lion symbol towards the city. (Google it for a clearer understanding of how the statue’s pose) The road we were on is just one of the many roads leading towards the main road.

As we joined the long queue outside of the gate, Wang Zhi Qiang brief me about the city. “As one of the cities under the heaven’s dog kingdom, the 4 advisors under the emperor will select a few candidates to become the king of the tiny dog city every 100 years. As long as the emperor is satisfied with the king’s rule, the king and his family can continue as royalties. The king can only pass over the throne to a member of the royal family and if he wants to pass the throne over to someone outside of the family, he will have to inform one of the advisors and the advisors will consider is the person can be selected as a special candidate. Since every election only takes place every 100 years, in the case of a special candidate, the person will be able to take over the throne immediately.”

“The royal family of the tiny dog city is the only family that have been the royals since this city was formed thousands of years ago. The title of royalty had transfer many times in other cities. The current royal family is the Chihuahua family. Even though they are royals, they treat the civilians kindly and friendly. There is no corruption within the Chihuahua family as they are extremely strict with their rules. The 1st king and the 1st emperor of the heaven’s dog kingdom is said to have a unbreakable friendship. Now it is the 11th generation for the emperor and 12th generation for the king, there is a unspoken rule between the two families which is the leader will step down together. The reason behind the 1 generation of difference is because the 5th generation of the king was assassinated. The 5th emperor was so angry that he fainted for 5 days and the 1st thing he did when he woke up was to order his strongest army to behead the ones behind the assassination.”

“Chihuahua family, porcini mushrooms, earth… they are too similar to my old world..Even the spoken language is about 90% similar to ours. According to one of the history books I read, this world was in a complete chaos before one man appeared. Back then, the biggest threat wasn’t the monsters. It was the humans. There where kingdoms as well but the kingdoms were filled with corruption. The rich did as they please, committing all kinds of crimes. The man was strong however, he was also extremely charismatic as he led 6 comrades to take over the kingdoms. After that, he divided the land into 7 continents and the 7 for them formed their own kingdoms. Unfortunately, after the 7 of them die, the 6th and 7th continent became further and further apart from the rest. Eventually, all led to today’s world. The heaven’s dog kingdom was ruled by the man.” I thought as I came up with an conclusion myself: ” this man is from the same world as me.”

“The two statues are the tamed beast of the 1st king. They are called Roxy and Chicca, 2 grade s monsters. After the king’s death, they continued to protect our city until they died during the 4th king rule.” Wang Zhi Qiang finish saying.

“Stop! Please open the carriage and let us check.” a guard said strictly.

“Sure.” Wang Zhi Qiang said as he opened the carriage and allowed the guards to check.

“Clear! Please proceed in.” the guard said after they checked for 20 minutes as he took a step back and the guard behind opened the gate.

“We are in!” Xiao Bing shouted as Wang Zhi Qiang drove the carriage through the gates. Many buildings made out of red iron wood were standing at the side of the roads. Between each building, there is a 5 metres gap. The buildings are painted white and gold. Red iron woods are wood that can withstand a full powered strike from a grade c fighter.Many cars was on the road while there are people walking their pet “dogs”. The lowest grade for the dogs is F while the highest is a D rank. Most of the dog type monsters have the ability to make themselves smaller but for C rank and above dogs are too big to be taken out for walks even after they shrink.
