Chapter 64: The Lost City
"Hey, where is Jinshan? Hey, isn't this Arendt? Huh******"
Hey, hey, hey, hey, you're sister!
Seeing Leitch's puzzled look, Arendt was eager to stomp his face to pieces, and he smiled stiffly, "My friend, have you seen Lydia? Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Scream?" Leitch looked at Arendt suspiciously, then regretfully, "What scream? I found the key before, I was screaming frantically, but before I could open the cage, I suddenly appeared here, damn it!"
"Huh. ”
Arendt smiled stiffly again, but this time he didn't ask anything more. And looking at Leitch's resentful expression, it seems that he is still struggling to miss that treasure.
After a few more casual conversations, the two parted ways. Stripped away the unnecessary expressions on his face, Luck set his eyes on the city in front of him, the holy land of the Lost Realm, the Lost City.
Colosseum!
Seeing the outline of the Lost City, Leitch's mind couldn't help but think of the world-famous magnificent building from his previous life.
Like the Colosseum, the walls of the Lost City are divided into four layers, the top layer is a 50-meter-high solid wall, and the lower three floors, from the bottom to the top, are 40 meters, 30 meters, and 20 meters in height, each floor has a tall hole, but the bottom layer, only the two holes as the entrance and exit gates are open, and the remaining holes are all closed.
The gates of the Lost City look like the Gates of Darkness, and in the center of the gate there is also a seeping motif of a blood-dripping dagger piercing into a snow-white skull.
On either side of the gate stood two female guards, dressed in armor that Luck had never seen before—a black hue, from the helmets, armplates, breastplates, and even the swords and shields held by the two guards, all of which looked like carapaces dismembered from the limbs of some kind of insect. The thin breastplate barely covered the breasts of the two female guards, leaving their toned little bellies completely exposed, foreheads, and two long legs.
Leitch smiled and greeted the two female guards, but they didn't pay any attention to him, which made Leitch smile awkwardly.
Entering through the city gate, the first thing Reich saw was a huge statue, much taller than the surrounding buildings, almost as high as the 140-meter-high city wall!
The Nightblade's right hand was stretched horizontally, and he held a dagger that was facing vertically downward, and a bright red liquid dripped from the tip of the knife and fell into the pool of blood below, splashing in circles of ripples. And this statue stands in the middle of the pool of blood!
King of Assassins!
There is no doubt that there is no one to have such a majestic statue in this lost city but the master of this heaven and earth.
What puzzled Leitch was that from time to time some people would approach the pool of blood with a beautiful cup, and then scoop up the liquid like blood from the pool of blood, and drink it reverently and frantically. The strange scene creeped Richie, but he didn't rush forward and grab the men and ask them what they were doing.
The buildings around the ring, Leitch still have a strong Roman flavor - each house is majestic like a church on earth, with tall columns at the front, and some vivid carvings of people can be seen on the walls or at the top of the house. If he hadn't known that this place had nothing to do with Earth, Leitch would have wondered if he had traveled back in time to ancient Rome.
The difference between the architecture of the Lost City and Ancient Rome is different from the snow-white and plain sunlight hue of the latter, and the whole Lost City, including the walls, has a quiet gray tone.
The Lost City is actually not very big, as far as Leitch estimates, it is even about the same size as the Black Wind City, and as far as Leitch knew before, the population of the Lost City is about 10,000 or 20,000 people. So walking down the wide, idyllic streets, Leitch hardly saw a single pedestrian.
After walking for a while, Ricky found what looked like a hotel—the Walker's Rest.
At this time, the walker's rest was empty, and Leitch saw a crumpled old woman carefully wiping the porcelain plate. However, Leitch did not dare to underestimate the other party in the slightest, especially when he found that he could not feel the slightest fluctuation of power from the other party - because this only proved that this old woman who seemed to be in her last years was actually an unfathomable powerhouse!
The Sea Clan, like the word Orc, is just a general term, and in fact, the Sea Clan is several times more similar to humans. Although most of the Sea Tribes are not able to live on land for a long time, there are some exceptions, such as the old woman of the Bei people in front of her, and even the Marquis of Silver Sail, one of the ten lords of the Dawson Federation, is also a Sea Tribe.
Aside from the shell-like ears, the Beyers look roughly the same as humans.
"A new human lad?" Larella, the female shellfisher, glanced up at Reich before continuing to wipe her plate.
"My lord, I just passed through the dark corridor this morning. Leitch's reply was courteous.
"My lord?" said Lyrella with a hoarse smile, "I'm not an adult, I'm just an old woman in her old age. Say, do you want to eat, or do you plan to stay?"
"Both of these things are urgently needed for me, but now I have more urgent things. ”
"What's more, is there still a little lady in your house waiting for you to go back to the cave room?" Lyrela's hoarse voice had a hint of snarky banter in it, and seeing Rich's deflated expression, Lyrela smiled happily before adding, "What do you want to know?"
"How do I get out of here?" Although Leitch did have quite a few questions at this time, it was definitely his primary concern.
"It's very simple," the snarky hint in Lyrela's tone mocked Rich's ignorance, "report to the Steward and you'll get a teleportation stone, with which you'll be free to go in and out of the Lost Realm and Andrew in the future." ”
Hearing this, Leitch's eyes lit up suddenly, and he suddenly thought that with that teleportation stone, wouldn't he be able to appear anywhere in Andrew's world at will?!
At this time, Lerella's voice, which always had a hint of snarkyness, rang out again: "You think too much, young man—actually, except for the first time, the location of each teleportation in the future is fixed. ”
Leitch couldn't help but be disappointed when he heard this, but only for a moment, Leitch would never waste his mood on those facts that could not be changed. He then asked, "Who is this steward?"
The lobby of the inn was eerily silent for a few moments before Lyrela's voice resounded with a hint of an almost inaudible trill: "Governor Rosace is the closest servant of the King of Assassins, and the custodian of the Lost City. ”
Seeing that Lyrela didn't elaborate on what the mysterious steward meant, Ratchey didn't continue to ask, and said, "When I first entered the city, I saw someone scoop up some liquid from the waterhole under the huge statue and take it - I wonder what that means?"
"That's called a baptism of killing!" Lerella became inexplicably excited, her already hoarse voice even more harsh because of the violent vibration of the tape, "That's the Assassin King's blessing to each of our lost people, as long as we drink the Holy Blood, we will have the privilege of listening to the Assassin King's teachings!"
Lyreira didn't notice that Richie's head was bowed deeply at the moment, he couldn't believe what he had heard—listen to what he heard—listen to the teachings of the King of Assassins! The King of Assassins was a former existence of the Fast period, more than 10,000 years ago!
Could it be that the King of Assassins has ascended to the gods?!
Reich was taken aback by his own speculation, and although it was not uncommon for anyone to make such an assumption in the continent of Blanca, no one had ever been able to prove it conclusively. However, considering the legend that the King of Assassins once slaughtered gods, it seems that this is not impossible******
After asking a few more rambling questions, Richie left the Walker's Rest, and now he was going to the palace district to meet the mysterious Governor of Rosace.
Unlike the cities that Leitch has seen so far, the Lost City is not strictly divided into market areas, residential areas, etc., so it is not difficult to find that the inns, taverns, grocery stores, and other places here are hidden in all corners of the Lost City in an irregular manner, and it is really difficult for a newcomer like Leitch to find them.
The most special place in the Lost City is undoubtedly the Dark Palace, which is the residence of the King of Assassins and the core of power throughout the Lost City.
However, when Richie asked if Lyrela had ever seen the King of Assassins in person, she shook her head regretfully, according to her, there were only a few lucky people in the entire Lost City who had the privilege of seeing the King of Assassins, and they were revered as the Blade of the King!
The Dark Palace's Dark Palace gives Reich the feeling of the famous Parthenon on Earth, with a circle of marble columns, each several meters wide and tens of meters high, a layer of reliefs depicting the faces of various creatures when they are killed, and a small statue on top of the relief - a back statue, the back of the King of Assassins, to be exact!
After informing the Dark Guards next to the pillar of her purpose, Ricky followed one of the Dark Guards and slowly walked into the Dark Palace.
