Chapter 61: Midnight City
Ark Seven soared into the air.
Early this morning, everyone in Luoling City heard the rumbling sound, only to see a strangely shaped behemoth rising from the city lord's mansion, sweeping through the air, and then disappearing again.
Yeqi and the others sat on the sofa in the ark, although it was the second time to ride this ark, Ling Xiao still had some uncontrollable curiosity. Going back and forth in this ark, looking around.
Since Yuan Bao exposed the situation of being able to speak in front of everyone, he didn't have so many worries in front of these people, leisurely occupying Yeqi's arms, turning his head to look at Wu Xing'er on the side, and shouting in a crisp and somewhat immature voice.
"Xing'er, Xing'er, where's your little fox? β
Yuan Bao is really bored, it might as well be fun to tease the little fox.
Wu Xing'er didn't think about it so much, she had just contracted her little fox in the past few days, but unfortunately she was still a little afraid of seeing the living in her dantian at this time.
If you play with Yuanbao a few more times, you shouldn't be so afraid of people, right?
Thinking of Wu Xing'er, he summoned the fire spirit fox, soothed the little fox's fur, and said softly.
"Little fox, the ingots are the master's mysterious beasts, very friendly, can you go and play more with the new friend of the ingots?" The fire spirit fox in Wu Xing'er's hand squeaked twice and looked at the ingots on the side.
At this time, the ingots could already restrain the coercion belonging to the divine beast on the body, and the whole beast was like a cute hairball, without any harm.
The Fire Spirit Fox looked at Wu Xing'er again, nodded lightly in agreement, and then jumped down from Wu Xing'er's hand and went to the side of the ingot.
This little fox is fiery red, with a pinch of white hair at the tip of its tail and a pinch of white fur around its ears, and the tip of its black nose looks very cute.
It is said that what kind of master there is, what kind of mysterious beast, ingots are like a night Qi, and I especially like to see those beautiful things.
Looking at such a cute little fox in front of me, I was happy to talk to the little fox.
Although this fire spirit fox can't speak human language, it is extremely human, and for a while, the two little beasts are having a lot of fun.
The speed of the ark was very fast, and it didn't take long for the group to come to the vicinity of the ghost town.
After Ling Xiao got off the ark, there were still some unfinished things. Turning his head to look at the Nuoda Ark, he couldn't help but be amazed in his heart: this boat is really magical, compared to a carriage, it is much more stable, and much faster.
Yeqi put away the ark and looked up in the direction of the ghost town, where it was now still near the ghost town, but the sky was much darker than the real hour.
The more you look at the ghost town, the more intense the ink becomes.
andβ
Yeqi closed his eyes, stabilized his mind, and used his powerful spiritual power to secretly suppress the dragon teeth in his body.
The evil aura contained in this ghost town seems to have a summoning effect on the dragon's teeth, making the evil qi in the dragon's tooth body heavier, as if it is like a child who is eager to rush back into his mother's arms, this dragon's tooth struggles to break away from the body of the night qi and rush into the darkness of the ghost town.
Ye Shuyi on the side noticed Ye Qi's strange appearance, and thought of the purpose of coming to the ghost city this time, and couldn't help but ask worriedly.
"Seventh Prince, how do you feel now?"
Ye Qi gradually suppressed the dragon tooth in his body, and his face still had some cold expression, "It's okay, continue to move forward, and find a place to rest when you get to the front!"
A ghostly spirit, a ghost in the middle of the night.
Midnight City, the most famous castle near the ghost town.
The ghost town is an evil place, but because of the fire in the ghost town, it still attracts a lot of people to come here.
And those who come to the ghost town will definitely choose this midnight city as a resting place, so in this midnight city, even if you meet a random person on the street, you can't tell which way this person is.
The city is also strange in the middle of the night! The day is sometimes gloomy and dim, and there is no daylight all year round, and even if the occasional daylight shines through this yin air, it is as faint as the bright moonlight.
And at night, it is because of the yin atmosphere of the ghost town, which makes the whole city feel like it has passed through the middle of the night. Hence the name Midnight City.
When the group walked into this midnight city, they couldn't help but sigh secretly in their hearts, this midnight city really lived up to its name.
The towers of Midnight City seem to have never been cleaned, and Yeqi has also seen a lot of towers, even some sentries will stand on the tower of Luoling City, but the towers of Midnight City are covered with dust and covered with cobwebs.
If you look closely, you can even tell that there are a few spiders working very hard to build their webs on it.
On top of the castle tower hangs a dilapidated and unbearable wooden plaque, on which there are three large characters that can still be vaguely recognized, written about Midnight City.
The gate was open, and Ye Qi and his party entered Midnight City without difficulty.
The streets of the city are covered with dust, there is not a trace of flowers and trees, and some lanterns are lit on both sides of the street because of the drowsy weather, and the candles are flickering and flashing faintly, which sets off the city a little infiltrating.
"Why is the city so strange in the middle of the night, there are no people guarding the city. β
"It's not that there are no defenders here, it's that the lord of the city here has left many years ago, and now this midnight city belongs to the four places. Seeing that the little young master had questions, the night court on the side hurriedly spoke.
"Left?
"It's not because there are too many ghosts and ghosts in the city in the middle of the night, people from all walks of life in the Nine Shadows Continent who want to get the ghost earth fire will come here. Not only that,"
Speaking of this, the senior of the Night Court paused, looked around, and made sure that there was no one before he continued to speak, and said in a low voice.
"This ghostly fire belongs to the yin fire, but the people who want to get it are not only those evil sects, but those who are decent in the eyes of others will also send people here to get this ghostly fire. In this case, if the city lord of Midnight City is not a very capable person, the complicated interpersonal relationships can give him a headache. What's more, the relationship must be handled properly. In such a thankless place, basically no one wants to come here to be the lord of Midnight City. β
When Yeqi heard this, he nodded clearly.
Although there is no lord in charge of the city in the middle of the night, there are still some residents living in the streets here, most of whom are natives of the city.
Most of the inhabitants of these people had a sickly paleness.
It's no wonder, after all, most of the people here have almost never been in the sun at all, but it's precisely because of this that the city is a little less popular and a little more ghostly.
"Knock" a gong sounded, and a person walked up to him on the street.
I saw that the person who came was pale, holding a gong in his left hand and a drum hammer in his right hand, and he couldn't stop muttering in his mouth.
"Wander in the city in the middle of the night, and don't look back until midnight. If you meet a cow or a horse, they will pull you into the ghost hall. But the flowers on the other side of the bridge, I want to go back to my life again!"
"But don't be in a hurry about this matter, listen to my ghostly words. If you really meet a ghost, you have to rely on me to protect you, and you only need to spend three gold, and you may be able to return from the dead!"
The person next to him seemed to be used to hearing this, and said jokingly.
"Yo! ghost three, come out again to cheat and deceive!"
The person who was called the ghost three seemed to be annoyed, stopped the Luo in his hand who was about to start again, and said to the man.
"Yuan Laosi, don't believe it yet, when you really meet a ghost one day, you will know if what I said is true. β
This Yuan Laosi pursed his lips disdainfully.
"Not wandering around the city in the middle of the night has become the default rule of everyone in this midnight city! What's more, didn't the old Wang's handsome baby next door buy a few runes from you?
The ghost three was even more anxious, "What does that have to do with my rune paper? It's that Han Wazi is too stupid to use it according to what I said, otherwise he will definitely come back." β
"Hey, ghost three! If you say this, you can only deceive outsiders, who will believe the people in our own city!"
Yuan Laosi shook his head as he spoke, turned around and left.
When the ghost saw Yuan Laosi leaving, he spat twice at the figure of the person leaving.
"Phew, bad old man, bad for my business!"
Then the ghost three looked in the direction where Yeqi and his party were coming, and he had a signature smile on his face.
These three ghosts have been in Midnight City for a long time, and they can see at a glance that these little sons in front of them must be from those big families. And such a person doesn't value money the most, and just a reward can be worth several runes.
Thinking of this, the smile on the face of the ghost three was even worse, and the few people said to the night.
"These handsome little boys, we are in the middle of the night! But it's not safe! Every night there will be ghosts wandering back and forth in this city. Recently, many people have been caught by this ghost and gone to the ghost hall, should you consider buying a few runes from me? β
Saying that, the three ghosts were afraid that the Yeqi people didn't believe it, so they patted their chests in a hurry.
In fact, everyone saw the scene just now. But, after all, I've come to this ghost town, and in line with those thoughts of being prepared, I still have to buy a few pieces of this rune paper, after all, I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if. What's more, for these people, they are indeed not the ones who lack money.
Ling Xiao took out his money bag with interest, shook it in front of the ghost three, and then held it in his hand again, looking at the ghost three with a cynical smile on the corner of his mouth.
"The money in this can buy you a lot of rune paper, as long as you can answer a few questions, and the rest, it will be considered as a reward for you. β
The moment the ghost saw Ling Xiao take out the money bag, his eyes followed the money bag up and down, and he couldn't turn it, and said happily.
"Master, several masters, no matter what questions you ask, as long as I know the three ghosts, I must know everything, and I must know everything!"
