Chapter 334: Tower of Miracles
Blackwater isn't huge, and Goron stands on the shoulders (canopy) of the decayed tree people's roots, giving him a near-glance view of the city. The most conspicuous building in the whole city www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion is a giant stone tower standing high in the center of the city. The stone tower was unimaginably tall, and despite the dense fog of the Blackwater Swamp and the towering ghost trees, the area around the city was much better, and the view could be seen thousands of meters away, but even so, the top of the tower could not be seen. The entire stone tower is completely made of boulders two meters square, and the diameter of the tower body is more than 300 meters, and it is impossible to imagine how this stone tower was built in this place where there are not a few hard mud pieces in a radius of hundreds of kilometers. The surface of the stone tower is mottled and broken, crawling with gray-green vines, and below the tower is a towering foundation city, but it is broken everywhere, full of the vicissitudes of time, not so much a castle as an ancient ruin.
Blackwater City has no walls, and more than half of the area is black swamp, and the inhabitants glide across the swamp with a mud boat with a very smooth bottom, making it look like a water city. The city's buildings are disheveled, full of low, dilapidated wooden houses, and apart from the towering stone tower, there are hardly any buildings larger than three floors. Most of these buildings are built on mud bogs, supported by log supports deep in the mud, while others are built directly on top of large trees, and some simply have a large hole in the middle of the trunk as a living space. Although the trees here are sparse and half-dead, they are all very thick and tall, comparable to the famous Night Elves' Tree of Life, and due to the limited area of Blackwater City's hard soil, these giant trees are also an important part of the city's infrastructure.
"There is no order, no power, no law in Blackwater. There is only power here, and only power is believed, power is truth, power is justice, power is wealth, power is possession. Power is everything......" said the dragon girl Bluetooth, in an almost prayerful tone. She said very little along the way, but she still told them some stories about Blackwater for Goron.
Originally, this swamp was only a part of the Life Magic Laboratory, which was kind of an experimental area. The Life Lab simulates a variety of harsh living environments, and the Blackwater Swamp is one of the places where the swamp monsters are raised. After the fall of His Majesty Darwin, the "Enslaver of Life", the entire life laboratory fell into chaos, and the Warcraft demons in the laboratory who were in a state of modulation and transformation were released, and the wild species that were originally in a free-range state were crossed, mixed, devoured each other, and evolved. Breed down.
The Blackwater Swamp is at the outermost edge of the enchantment, and the explorers and adventurers who have entered the Life Laboratory for 10,000 years are also exiled, some of whom are more lucky, or have stronger strength, are generally able to enter the swamp alive. There are many fewer super-level species in the mire than in other areas, that is, the hydra snake Xudra, who is known as the "god-killing poison" and "immortal body", is more famous. In other words, the Blackwater Swamp is a relatively safe place compared to the rest of the outside world. At least there are no giant titans roaming around, no hungry primordial Beamon. There were no synthesizers who could hunt and devour these prehistoric species as prey.
Of course, these outsiders also have to face the dangerous monsters in the swamp, although the strength of the monsters here is not as strong as the ones outside the swamp, but the number is terrifying, dragon flies, black tiger fish, oracle bone mosquitoes. Mire tarantula ...... These small monsters of low rank, when the number accumulates to five figures, even intelligent dragons can hunt and prey, and their simple thinking mode makes them fearless, such monsters are collectively called "legion monsters", in a sense, they are more dangerous than super-level monsters that like to be alone. So the survivors had to join forces. Deal with quantity with quantity, and deal with the bloodthirsty instinct of Legion Warcraft with teamwork.
Over time, the number of outsiders who had been forced to stand together and join forces snowballed like a snowball, and it was at this moment that they discovered the remains of a magical tower, which was one of the magic laboratories left behind by the Magic Emperor Darwin. The core area of the laboratory is guarded by a magical enchantment, a place that even the gods of the heavenly realm do not want to set foot in easily, and these outsiders will not be able to explore the mysteries of it, but the area around the magic tower for the emperor's servants to live and live in is a good foundation for outsiders to build a home. So outsiders settled here and built the city. Of course, in addition to surviving, most of them have not forgotten their true mission, which is to thoroughly investigate and find out the secrets of this island (mainland) and find the supreme secret treasure hidden here by the head of the Magic Emperor.
Naturally, this Philosopher's Stone Tower is the first choice for explorers. Despite the strength and deadliness of the magical guardian enchantment here, trespassers are almost dead. But the explorers who can come to this point are basically fierce people with both luck and ability, and after these explorers have persevered in their exploration for thousands of years, after paying countless lives and blood, the guardian barrier of the stone tower has been conquered layer by layer, and today, there are thousands of towers that have been successfully broken and completed the exploration.
"And how does Blackwater City have to do with time and the Eternal Dragon?"
When she heard this question, the dragon girl was silent for a long time before she reluctantly said that it was also related to the Philosopher's Stone Tower, but as for the specifics, she was reluctant to say more.
In short, in this city full of brave legends and dirty **, chaotic dreams and outright evil, it is very likely that everything that Goron and his party are eager to find hides.
The Fallen Treant strode through the river of mud until he finally came to the edge of a rudimentary wooden dock bridge that Blackwater had several similar docks, a spiderweb-like wooden bridge that connected them to the hard earth. The Golons jumped onto the plank path according to Bluetooth's instructions, and suddenly a group of ragged, short, and emaciated children rushed over and surrounded them. This group of children has a variety of races, nearly half of them are human races, but there are also a lot of people such as dwarves, jackals, real lizardmen, and fish people, and here are the lizard people, this race is very similar to the dragonmen to which Bluetooth belongs at first glance, and there are even many people who can't distinguish the difference between them at all, but in general, there is a lot of gap between the lizardmen and the dragonmen in terms of physique. Not to mention that high-level dragonmen generally possess dragon wings, and thick-blooded dragonmen can even breathe dragon breath and cast low-level dragon language magic. But even so, dragonmen are not as common as lizardmen on the Dota continent, which cannot but be said to be an irony.
The dragon girl walked in the front, waved her hand away from the children who were too close, and shouted loudly, "These guys are all poor ghosts, and they have nothing of value. And they're dangerous, don't lean over again!"
But the warning effect of Bluetooth is obviously not great, except for a few children who hesitated for a while and no longer crowded forward, the vast majority of the cubs still rushed to Goron desperately, looking at their shining eyes and fingers, they could guess what skills these children relied on to survive on weekdays without much thought.
Seeing that the Goron and the others were overwhelmed by the group of children, a strange look flashed in Bluetooth's eyes, and then the dragon girl pretended to be panicked and shouted: "This group of children just wants to steal a little food from you, or equipment that can be exchanged for food, there is no malicious intent, please don't hurt them!"
There is no malice in these little ghosts? That's really how there are ghosts......
This group of children is messing around with all hands and feet, and Golon's important items are hidden in the tattoos, not afraid of losing them, he didn't take these children in his eyes, but he suddenly found that this group of imps was tearing his clothes, and the technique was extremely skillful, and when Goron reacted, he was already half-naked. The ogre boys are like this, and the others will naturally not be happy, and Monica has already let out a scream of rage. Not only that, but Goron actually noticed that his arms and legs had been tied up at some point, and the back of his head had been hit several times, like a few blows, and then there were tattered strips of cloth that emitted a strange smell on his mouth and nose, and he felt dizzy with the physique of a goron ogre. Presumably, people who are less resistant to toxins have already passed out.
What is this? Kidnapping in public?
Almost at the same time, a series of screams and cries of pain suddenly sounded in the group of children, and suddenly four giant wolves with translucent bodies suddenly sprang out of the crowd surrounding Goron, forcibly dispersing the group of children. The children who surrounded Kennan, the brave of the North, were even more unlucky, only to hear a large cry, and the children who reached out and groped around with Kenan all raised their hands and cried loudly, and their palms were now covered with a layer of ice.
The children on the docks scattered, Kenan looked normal, and Goron, though he had suffered nothing, was disheveled, like a girl who had just been ravaged by a large group of rough men, and his image was very embarrassed. However, Goron was not the worst one to be rectified, a few steps away, Marven didn't know what was done by the group of bear children, and at this time he was lying on the ground naked, actually sleeping.
"Where's Monica? Why is she gone?"
Goron frowned and searched around, then stretched out his hand, and the four summoned shadow wolves suddenly disappeared, and the next moment they appeared out of thin air two hundred meters away, speeding silently, quickly catching up with the group of children who had fled the farthest, and after disrupting the crowd, they brought back the unconscious girl who was tied up from inside......
