Vol 5 Chapter 4: Magic city

With a squeak, a big tree suddenly collapsed suddenly, and the demon knight and I swiftly opened the fallen trunk. A huge spider appeared behind the big tree, and it was not much smaller than an elephant!
Bescott rushed up with the other ghost knights. Although the spider was large, the level was not high, and he was killed by the ghost knights. By the way, Clark ’s request to collect the items seems to contain the spider ’s poison sac. I went up to the spider and used N consecutive acquisitions, but the poison sac was not seen, but two fangs were touched! How stingy, how good is it to give me a poison sac!
After encountering giant spiders, we encountered many monsters, none of which were smaller than bears and were all insects. It seems that this forest is devoted to demonizing insects.
I walked and walked suddenly a light curtain appeared in front of us. This layer of light curtain is transparent, so although it extends all the way up to the sky, we didn't notice it along the way! If it hadn't been for the moment when we were very close, it suddenly flashed a bit, and we couldn't see that there was still something here!
Through the light curtain, we can see that there is a forest similar to ours. I can even see deep places. The monster is not seen, and it is basically certain that the light curtain is safe. But because we don't know if the light curtain is offensive, we dare not try it rashly. The old way, let Scotte summon a skeleton to try.
The skull walked towards the light curtain without gloom. When it came in contact with the light curtain, the light curtain flickered a few times, and the nearby light curtain showed obvious distortion. But even more amazing is yet to come. The skeleton entering the light curtain seemed to disappear, it passed through the light curtain, but we did not see it! We can see the woods behind the light curtain, but we don't see the skeletons!
"Scott? Has your skeleton passed through?"
"I feel like it went through!"
"Why can't we see it?" I thought for a while, holding my chin. "Can you still sense it?"
当然 "Of course! The induction is strong!"
"Let it come out!"
Skull suddenly emerged from the light curtain, as if pierced through the door of time and space! We experimented a few times repeatedly and the situation was almost the same! I just folded a branch off the trunk next to it and threw it to the light curtain. The branch disappeared into our sight after passing through the light curtain. It didn't appear in the forest behind the light curtain!
I have basically guessed several possibilities now. The first possibility is that the light curtain is a transmission system. Things that pass through the light curtain are directly transmitted to a certain place without entering the forest behind the light curtain. The second possibility is that the light curtain is actually a phantom barrier. The forest that we see behind the light curtain does not actually exist. The branches and skeletons actually passed through the light curtain and reached behind it, but the illusion blocked our view, so we couldn't see anything! However, since the skeleton can go back and forth at will, this light curtain is at least non-aggressive, so I decided to try it for myself!
I stood in front of the light curtain and carefully stretched out a hand through the light curtain. I didn't feel anything when my fingers touched the light curtain. It seems that this thing does not have physical form! I continued to stretch my hand forward, miraculously, the part of my hand that passed through the light curtain disappeared. I can't see my hand, but I can feel it still there. Anxiously went over.
Shock! I was stupid there after crossing the light curtain! Behind the light curtain is not the forest you just saw. The black forest in front of you is back to the giant tree. Giant trees of more than 100 meters are everywhere, with some low trees interspersed and some shrubs and other things covered on the ground, but these things are not very dense and do not affect walking. I took a few steps back in surprise and left the light curtain back to where it started. The light curtain appeared in front of me again. What I saw was the low, leafless forest! But when I walked through it again, the dense forest was restored. It seems that this light curtain can indeed block the sight of the outside world!
The demon spirit knight followed me through the light curtain. The sight in front of them made them stare at night, but it was not as serious as me!
Sussex cried suddenly. "My of darkness! Is this the magic capital Isinger!"
"Essinger? What is it?"
Scot calmed his emotions and said, "China originally had 4 ultimate evil zones, namely the Lost City, the City of Mourning, the Demon Fortress, and the Demon Isinger. The big one. However, the three main cities of the system later mobilized 30 million troops to form a sacred coalition and jointly attacked the magic capital Isinger. The battle continued for more than a month, and Isinger was eventually defeated. The then city owner was The evil eye of the demon capital was detonated, and the 30 million sacred legion and the 10 million Isinger city defense army were turned into unjust souls. From here it became the evil cursed land, and the evil forces of 40 million unjust souls made it bright. In the restricted area, bright side personnel will be greatly weakened here. "
"It sounds weird and tragic, but what about cities? Why can't I see anything? Trees are trees here except trees!"
"These are not ordinary trees. These are the fragments of the evil eye turned into trees. They will absorb all power except the dark power. Whoever uses magic other than dark magic here will consume the usual two. Times the magic power. And here, pure light mages ca n’t restore the magic power at all, and they will not increase again when they run out, unless they leave this forest and go outside the light curtain.

对 "Well, what's going on with this light curtain?"
那就 "It's not clear!" Scot shook his head. "We, the ghost knights, have been stationed in the Dark Lord Temple. The four major dark cities are only subordinate institutions. But I think this may be a pure protective measure, just like the Black Water Lake outside the Lost City. Each dark city Each has its own special protective measures. As for the illusions and the Black Forest seen at the beginning, every dark city has it! "
______________________________________________________________________
"You haven't answered where exactly my city is?"
"In fact, the city should not be far from here, mainly because these trees are too dense to be seen, just go out!"
"Let's go and see!" I called out Ye Ying to jump up, Ye Ying is ready to ride, I don't need to squeeze a horse with Scott.
As soon as I walked away, I saw a large white flower dangling in the woods, rushed to the front to see clearly, good guy, a large skull! I asked the dart to find a skeleton that was far away from the team and hit it. I read the skeleton data. Obediently, these are level 600 magic skulls! The defense is super exaggerated, and the attack is also scary. Fortunately, there is not much health! But unexpectedly, the dart that went up to the test was hit back with a slap of the skull. Although the dart level is still low, but the speed of intercepting darts, the agility of these skeletons is too abnormal? Skeleton levels encountered in the past generally do not exceed 200 levels, these guys are actually as high as 600! No wonder these skeletons are all holding shiny weapons and wearing black cloaks! It turned out to be a premium product!
"Scott, is there a way around here?" I'm not Superman. I can't do anything higher than 300 levels faster, not to mention the number of these guys is too large and intensive. The ghost knights can kill them!
Wescott hadn't answered yet, but the skeleton harassed by the dart ran over. Scot picked up his spear to prepare for the attack, but he did not expect the skeleton to stop before it rushed to us. I saw its long sword flicker, a black magic bullet condensed from the blade and flew over. This kind of magic skull is actually a magic swordsman, and you can attack remotely without approaching us!
I saw that the skull was attacking from a long range, and Scott turned his spear into a shooting pose immediately. With the sound of a breaking wind, the spear was accurately hit the skull's head, and the entire head of the skull clicked into a white powder. But what surprised us was that the skull without a head rushed up with a sword!
I hurried back, this kind of thing is too high, I am in danger of going up! The monster knight rushed up and smashed the entire skeleton in one fell swoop! These skeletons are terrible, magic and melee are all possible, plus there is no point, the head is still hit!
的 Looking at these skeletons from afar, I suddenly remembered that I can't fly on the ground! Didn't say you must crawl past the skull pile! Put away the flightless monster knights and magic pets, I spread my wings and fly to the sky. As soon as I flew together, I found something wrong. The endurance value dropped like a horse watch. At this speed, I can maintain at most 30 seconds in the air!
Hurry up and fly as fast as possible, as long as it exceeds the height of the tree, leaving the narrow woods can summon lucky they take me to fly! Accelerating the rise, finally rose to the sky above the forest when the endurance value was about to bottom, and quickly called for luck, I fell on his back.
After looking down, I looked up and was shocked! Complete shock! Above the treetops, I suddenly saw a mountain, and the shape of the mountain was so neat that it looked like it was cut by hand! Looking at it this way, the mountain is estimated to be hundreds of meters high, and the overall shape looks like a square double cake!
There is no time to admire the mountain, and the lucky endurance value under it is falling fast. Fortunately, the dragon has good flight ability and high endurance value. It is not a problem to support at this speed for three or five minutes. When the luck is no longer possible, you can change the plague. And crystal them, anyway, I have a lot of magic pets can fly, one by one to take me, it is estimated that they can support the edge of the forest!
As expected, Lucky flew for more than four minutes and couldn't support it. The plague was summoned by me to replace Lucky, and later changed to Crystal. The crystal and the plague flew for less than 8 minutes, and then Xiaofeng came out to work. Although Xiaofeng only persisted for two minutes, she was fast. When she couldn't, we were almost at the edge of the forest. I then changed into a little dragon girl, and after only one minute of flying, we reached the edge of the forest and landed smoothly. Behind the edge of the forest, countless skeletons are still wandering, but they have never come out of the forest, it seems that they also have restrictions on activities!
Now finally I can take a good look at this mountain. I just dared to stare at the endurance value of the pet in the sky. I was afraid that if I accidentally used it, it would become a dinner for the skeletons! Now that it's on the ground, of course, summon the demon knight first. With them, you can also resist any unexpected situation!
The edge of the forest is only more than two thousand meters away from the foot of the mountain. The ground is black and gray, and the hard ground is very flat. We ride to the foot of the mountain within a few minutes. Going down from Yeying's back, standing on the ground and looking up at the mountain, my neck kept leaning back and finally I didn't stand firmly. I stepped back and sat down on the ground with two steps. This mountain is really high enough, it looks like the sky from the foot of the mountain! The towering gray mountain gives a strong sense of oppression, making people want to step back unconsciously!
This is not so much a mountain as a fortress. There are no plants on the mountain at all, and the entire surface is dark gray rocks. The periphery of the mountain is obviously excavated artificially. Not only the mountain is regular quadrilateral, but also the smooth outer wall is inlaid with many skulls. The angle between the mountain and the ground is as high as 80 degrees or more. It seems that this mountain is more suitable as a city wall! I do n’t quite believe that any mountain will be square, nor will there be a long skull on the mountain. This must be a large mountain that has been artificially excavated and turned into a square wall. As for those skulls, they are purely inlaid to scare people. !! The front wall of this "city wall" is about 29,000 meters in width, and the height is estimated to be more than 450 meters! The ghost rider found a huge gap in the mountain. The mountain on both sides sandwiched the treaty with a gap of 30 meters wide. Large pieces of rubble were piled on the ground in the gap. It seems that this was the entrance to the city. One, but it has collapsed, so it becomes what it is now!
Look at this aisle. Do n’t think about riding in the past. It ’s difficult for people to climb. I put away the magic pet and tried the wings. It seems that it can fly normally. The place that consumes endurance seems to be just that forest. After confirming that I can fly, I stole the demon knight and flew directly through the channel to go deeper. The walls on both sides of the passage are also straight up, which proves that the passage was originally cut out. The boulder on the ground was only paved about 100 meters at the entrance, which shows that it was the Daocheng Gate here. The boulder should be the wreckage of the collapsed gate!
-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------
The length of the entire passage is as high as 1900 meters, which means that the "city wall" is nearly two kilometers thick! This thick wall is really terrible! No wonder it's been a month in front of an army three times its own!
I finally entered the mountain through the long passage. It turned out that this is Isinger! The so-called magic capital was originally built by hollowing out a mountain! But now, I see the broken walls and fragments of ruins everywhere. The whole city seems to have been attacked by the atomic bomb. There are broken bricks everywhere! I can roughly see the street layout of the city when flying in the air. The square-shaped streets are still faintly identifiable, but the houses on both sides are no longer there!
There is another thing standing in the center of the city. From the color and texture, it and the city wall are from the original mountain body, which means that this thing is part of the mountain body, and it was left when it was excavated. I don't know if this is a pillar or a tower. The bottom of it is a circle with a diameter of 1200 meters and a height of about 7500 meters! The bottom of this thing is actually not as high as the urban foundation. It is erected on a 200-meter-high base. This base is a square with a length of 2,000 meters. There are artificially excavated steps in all four directions. There are entrances on all sides of this tower-like thing. It seems that the inside of this thing should be empty.
Because there were no signs of monsters, I only summoned Scoot to take him directly to the base of the tower.
"Scott, do you know what this thing is?"
Wescott looked at it and said, "If it is correct, this should be the legendary gathering tower! The place where we are standing should be a dark temple. The inside of the tower should be empty, and there is a passage to the top of the tower."
"It's too slow to walk down the path, let's fly straight up!"
"Impossible!" Scotra stopped me. "There is a suppression system on the Juling Tower. It is okay to fly at low altitude. It will not work when it exceeds the height of the city wall. The magic barrier will ensure that nothing can reach the top of the tower without passing through the entrance at the bottom of the tower."
这样 "So! Let's climb the stairs!"
I followed Scot and walked into the legendary Juling Pagoda. I was greeted by a wave of cold. "Why is it so cold here?"
"It's not cold, it's evil, and it's usually something like this!"
"Fuck! Haunted!" I moved my body to adapt to this invasion of evil spirits. Anyway, I was also a dark force. Although the evil spirits made me uncomfortable, there was no actual harm.
After entering the tower along a passage, an upstairs began to appear. We ran all the way to the end of the stairs. This is a 10-meter-square room. The stairs in all four directions lead here. There is a rotating escalator on the side wall of the room. The escalator spirals to the top, but I can't see the sky. It seems that this escalator does not penetrate the tower!
After 30 minutes, I finally know how great the invention of the elevator is. The height of the 7,500-meter tower is equivalent to the height of a nearly 2000-story building. We can only blame it by climbing on a spiral elevator. In the end, the night shadow was summoned. The stairs are relatively wide and the is not large. Night shadow can run on it. With Night Shadow, we were a lot faster, but with side effects, I started to feel dizzy after a while, and always turned my head in one direction!
No! Climbing like this is not the way. We have only walked nearly half the height until now. If it reaches the top, I will not hang up! I stretched my head from the side of the spiral ladder and looked at the top to determine the height. I raised my right hand to point at the top of the tower, and mounted the arrow of the dragon's tendon to the Avengers. . With a ping-pong sound, the arrow hit the top of the tower but did not enter it. The arrow was bounced to the side, but the falling arrow hung the spiral ladder. The arrow stopped for a few turns on the spiral ladder due to inertia. I tried to pull, and it was strong. Putting away Scott, I jumped out of the spiral ladder. When I started the automatic take-up function of the Longjin flying rope, I was naturally pulled to the top of the tower. Although this simple elevator is not very comfortable, it is much better than climbing stairs. The most important thing is that it is faster!
I quickly reached the top floor, took off the zipline, and I climbed the spiral ladder. The spiral ladder ended abruptly here, and a wooden door appeared at the end of the spiral ladder. But the wooden door has now become two halves, and it seems that it will fall down at any time when leaning against the door! The broken door panel blocked half the door. I went up to move the door panel a little bit, but as soon as I touched it, the whole door fell down suddenly, and a burst of smoke was lifted up. It really looked like nobody had used it for a long time!
Behind the yamen is a diagonally upward staircase. This staircase is very narrow and can accommodate two people passing side by side, but fortunately it is not very steep. I ran up the stairs and reached the end of the stairs after a while, and there were signs of light ahead.
I rushed out of the stairway and stopped. The exit of the passage is already at the edge of the tower, and I can see most of the city standing here. The shape of the city does not seem to be a square but a concave shape. The direction we entered into Isinger was exactly a straight line, but the opposite side was recessed. And, what surprised me the most was that the other side of Isinger was the sea! Isinger is a port city! The notched part of the indentation is obviously a port!
Because there are no railings on the top of this tower, I don't dare go to the side! Turn around and go around the exit to see the whole picture of the tower. It turns out that this is a very flat platform, and it should feel like a circle, but it doesn't seem to be as big as the bottom. The diameter here is about 800 meters, which is slightly thinner than the bottom. In the middle of the platform was a pile of ruins that looked like an altar or something.
I call Scot. "Do you know what this is?"
"This is the altar where the evil eye is placed, but it was destroyed when it exploded!"
"Is the sea behind the port? Isn't it a big lake?"
"Yes! That's the sea, it should have been a deep-water port. I heard that the magic capital Essinger has the world's largest port!"
Look at the port below. According to the length of the wall of 29,000 meters, and comparing the size of the port, we can roughly estimate that the width of the port is at least 9000 meters. Compared to this, the size of this port should be more than 7 times that of that port in Torrent City. It is not surprising that it can be the number one in the world!
忽 I suddenly noticed that there were a lot of round black spots on the top of the "walls" around the city, because it was too far to see clearly. "Scot, what are those black spots?"
"Is it those on the wall?"
"Yes!"
那些 "Those are the bases of the turrets. The monsters are said to have 280 giant magic crystal cannons at the time!"
"280 gates? That's not 28 billion crystal coins? Oh my god! It's worthy of being the first magic capital, generous shot!" The ruins of this magic capital are good for building a city! The city walls are all ready-made. As long as you clean up the ruins and rebuild the gate, it is a city! It happens that we now need a guild station, and I'm afraid of trouble. It can save a lot of things here, the most important thing is to save money! "Scott, is there a magical fantasy on the other side of the sea?"
有 "Yes! The illusion is a sphere ~ EbookFREE.me ~ not only around, but also in the sky and the ground!"
"That's good!" I've decided, and I'll build the city here!
Since I intend to use it, I need to see everything clearly. The first thing to notice is the city walls. Scoot and I came under the city wall, and now I find that the city wall is not solid. There are tunnels cut in the city wall and there are many rooms with special uses! The explosion of the evil eye seemed to have an effect only on what was built by humans. This mountain-walled city wall was well protected and showed no signs of damage.
After a day's investigation, the entire city is basically intact, except that the buildings have been destroyed. This can be said to be a perfect fortress city.
After dinner, I went online to continue checking city facilities, but I was taken aback when I went online! I was standing in the middle of a large group of injustices! Rolled up and down to a higher platform and found that the entire city is full of these things! The translucent souls traveled through the city like living people, and they also exuded a faint green light. Just when I was in shock, a ghost actually walked through my body from behind my back, and he didn't seem to notice that I continued to do his own thing.
I soon discovered that these ghosts were all illusions, they could not see me at all, or they did not respond to me! Each ghost is doing its own thing, and they seem to be stuck in Isinger's most prosperous period. Really scary, full of ghosts of the city!
Lost City also has many ghosts, but they can be touched, they have thoughts, can interact with you, unlike these things, a complete group of walking dead! I started to think about whether to change the place to build a city. Our guilds are now almost all girls. This can scare some people if they see the irregularities!
