Chapter 1409: Desert Castle
Li Zhen and Nie Daquan traveled with four horses for more than an hour and came to a castle made of large stones.
But I saw that the pale and vast horizon was unobstructed, and under the clear blue sky, there was a long yellow sand everywhere that was so yellow that it was confusingly yellow, and several Hu Yang trees near and far were hanging their branches low, listlessly standing in the yellow sand.
The castle stands like a towering giant, and looks majestic on this mirror-like sandy surface.
Humans stand beneath it as small as ants.
When the closed city gate was lowered, and a few people walked into the empty and deep city gate, a refreshing wind blew in their faces, which suddenly swept away the dullness and bitterness of several people.
Li Zhen soon found that the castle was another world, full of greenery, flowers blooming wantonly, the streets were neat, and the shops were lined up, although the scorching sun was still hanging overhead, it was obvious that the temperature had dropped a lot, and from time to time there was a light breeze blowing, giving people an extremely cool and comfortable feeling.
It's clearly a vibrant city.
Li Zhen felt incredible, because building such a vibrant garden-like city in this vast desert did not require ordinary technical and financial resources to build, at least not on his earth.
It's just that the people walking all over the street are basically Jiaoren with long heads and horns, tall and gorgeous clothes, mixed with elves dancing with exposed eyebrows in clothes, and dwarves who are obscene and still deliberately pretending to be arrogant, most of them walk together, and occasionally see one or two Tusi people with the same skin color as Li Zhen, all of them are in a hurry, with a flustered expression, walking quickly under the eaves, and there is no figure in a blink of an eye.
Seeing Li Zhen and his group coming, some of the good deeds Jiaoren and the elven human race and the dwarf clan all gathered around, standing aside, pointing and pointing, with contempt and ridicule on their faces.
"Look, the escaped Nie Daquan was captured, he really has the ability, he dares to escape, but unfortunately he was caught back in half a day, it's really useless, but how can he escape the palm of our powerful Jiaoren hand. Hey, why did you come back with a man, this man was dressed in tatters, not a beggar? And covered in inky black, what kind of race is this, is it a newly produced human race among the Tusi people, why have you never seen it?"
"That stranger is so ugly, don't fucking dirty my eyes. There are still such shameless people in the world, who are even dressed neatly, they are really damned, and it is recommended that the city lord catch and kill them immediately, so as not to ruin the faces of all of us. ”
A roe deer dwarf shook his head, his face full of contempt, and his face was angry, as if Li Zhen's arrival was disgraced to him.
Originally, Li Zhen shuttled from the earth, and his clothes were already in tatters, and even the roots of his thighs were exposed.
Here, it becomes a ridicule for these races.
"Hee-hee, this new kid, he's so handsome and has a shapely body, I like it, I've never been good with a toast man. No, I'll have to ask Lord Lu to see if I can reward them both to me, even if I get some spirit stones back. ”
An elven woman dressed as a demon said to her companion with a smiling smiling face.
"You are so shameless, you didn't look for me, but went to find that damn toast man, Lao Tzu must sue you in front of the city lord. ”
Another male elf roared.
Listening to the same human language, Li Zhen was a little embarrassed and embarrassed, just hoping that there was a big hole in the ground, and jumped in to hide.
He felt as if he were a monkey parading through the streets, especially the female elves, all of whom had bright eyes, staring at his roots, and for a moment he had to cover his hands underneath, bow his head, and walk briskly.
As a result, some people laughed out loud.
But Nie Daquan shouted angrily as he walked: "Look at what, haven't you seen a man, get out." ”
Fortunately, they didn't go far, and the two were led into the gate of a tall and quaint compound by four sergeants who came to meet them, and the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.
However, I saw a signboard hanging next to the gate, which read "Prison of the 10th Brigade of the Hussar Brigade under the Eighth Army of the National Protector Army", but the building is not very magnificent, as if it was renovated from an old-fashioned and quaint mansion.
Looking inside the compound, Gao Wuhuan realized that this was a prison dedicated to prisoners.
But I saw that there were all kinds of prisoners in the cells on both sides, including Jiaoren, elves, dwarves, unknown monsters, and of course, more unkempt and ragged Tusi people.
And in front of the door of each cell, there is a heavily armed Jiaoren sergeant guarding, and in the center of the wide corridor, there are also various torture instruments, in the dim light, flickering with a palpitating cold light.
Eerie, bloody, violent, and terrifying, this space fills the space, which is very different from the vibrant city outside, as if it is a purgatory on earth
Standing at the gate of the gloomy prison, Nie Daquan refused to step further, he had been to this place before, and knew how dark and violent it was, so he turned his face and asked Lu Yuanshan, "May I ask Lord Lu, why did you bring us here?
Lu Yuanshan smiled faintly, "Nie Daquan, you are about to become the gladiator of the prince of Tuolei, of course you won't stay here, but they are not, so you have to send them here." ”
"He's my friend, not a prisoner, and you can't hold him. ”
Nie Daquan said angrily, feeling that his attitude was not good, and said in a low voice: "Lord Lu, didn't you say it on the road before, as long as I go to be a gladiator, you won't move my friend!"
"I said I wouldn't leave him alone, but I didn't say I wouldn't keep him in prison. You've just seen how much this friend of yours is disliked on the streets, and if he were allowed to wander outside, he might be killed by the irascible Jiaoren or the dwarves. I'm keeping him here for his good, so at least to make sure that no one will hurt him. ”
Lu Daquan paused, and said to Nie Daquan leisurely: "Moreover, there are two people here, you must want to see them, and they must also want to see you." ”
"Two people?"
Nie Daquan looked puzzled, thought for a moment, his face changed greatly, and his eyes widened, "What happened to my sister and cousin?"
His face was full of anger and anxiety.
"Don't worry, they're fine, because if you don't come back, I can't help but lock them up here and wait for you to come back to see them. If you never come back, I'll keep them here forever. ”
