Chapter 147: Rune Array
I told the two of them what I had discovered, and Lord Sharon was obviously a little surprised, but Rollo's expression was a little incomprehensible, and after a while, he said with a smile: "Interesting, it seems that this place is more interesting than I thought." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
For the time being, we decided to wait and see what the situation was before making a decision.
We first looked around the city where we were staying.
This place should belong to the border area, the area itself is not large, and the population is quite sparse, and it is estimated that the total population will not exceed a thousand, so this place should be more of a transit station on the way of demons.
The people here dress in much the same way as people on land, and there is nothing special about their appearance, but I think the only difference is that the people here live longer. And probably because of the lack of daylight, the skin tone of the people here is relatively white compared to the land ones, but it is not as obvious as the whiteness.
It's just that it's dark outside, but the city inside this bubble is well-lit and looks very bright, not inferior to the land, and even simulates the day and night on the road, the reason for this is really a mystery.
When we looked around, we found that most of the people who remained here were old and lived mainly from farming, and it seemed that the people on the bottom of the sea lived no differently than on land. I probed the traces of the demons here, and found that most of the demons did not stay here, they only stayed for a short time before leaving, and it was still interesting to see where they went. After all, we don't know the reason for the change in this underwater city, and if it is related to the collapse of the laws of the world, then the Holy Court has to intervene.
Based on the information found by the spies before, we know that the location of the dragon egg trace is deeper into the Haitian urban agglomeration, where there are much larger and denser cities, and there are also more people. If all the demons are mixed in, then it must also be a place where fish and dragons are mixed, and we need to be more careful. So after a short rest, we hurried to the hinterland of the urban agglomeration.
This journey seems to be moving in an orderly manner, but there are still some differences in culture and customs between different cities. Lord Sharon said that this is because there are actually different kingdoms in the underwater city, and different kings rule over different urban agglomerations, and naturally have different customs.
Luo Luo asked with interest, "Then what if a war breaks out between the kingdoms in this underwater city?" I don't think it's easy to storm each other through the sea here, right? ”
Lord Sharon glanced at him and said, "There is no war in the underwater city. There is space on the seabed, and if you want a new territory, you just need to build a new city in the open space next to the urban agglomeration, and there is no need to provoke a war at all. This is also the reason why the Sea Tribe's personality is relatively mild. There is also harmony between the various countries, and there is freedom of entry and exit, and there is basically no contradiction. ”
I looked carefully at the towns we passed, and gradually noticed something strange. I asked, "I can feel the aura of the demons as I get closer to the central city cluster, but why can't I feel the presence of any mages and mana here?" In this way, it seems that the defense capability of the undersea city is somewhat weak. ”
"Because there are not many wars and isolated here, whether or not there is mana is actually not so important to the people here, and the desire for mana is naturally not as fanatical as the people on land, but there are still mages in the central city."
"I see." Luo Luo tilted his head to look at Lord Sharon and said with a smile: "It seems that Sharon Lord you really know things here quite thoroughly, but this is still weird. Just imagine, there is a lack of mages who can fight against demons here, and demons frequently appear here but do not conquer them, what are they doing this for? Moreover, this place is almost isolated from the main continent, almost a blind spot in the jurisdiction of the Holy Court, and I really don't believe that they don't have any conspiracy or are just here for sightseeing. ”
Lord Sharon's expression became a little solemn: "In the past few years, the demons have become more and more powerful, and it is indeed impossible not to be unguarded. In this way, let's also take the opportunity to investigate the reasons for the frequent appearance of demons, and if there is really any conspiracy, we can also prepare in advance. ”
Soon, we came to the second largest city in the central urban agglomeration, the equivalent of the economic center of the various principalities, the town of Duka. Despite its name, it is the most populous metropolis under the sea, with caravans of traders from all over the world, making it a thriving scene. And the demonic aura here is naturally stronger.
Since the Holy Court rarely interferes in the affairs here, the people here have naturally never seen the Holy Court's iconic white daze. As we walked through the streets and markets, there were often people looking sideways, which made me feel a little uncomfortable.
I can't imagine that even after all these years, I still haven't been able to get used to receiving the gaze of others in a crowded crowd again, and it seems that the shadow of what I experienced in the Duchy of Salandel has not completely subsided. Thinking that the demon still knew this costume, we decided to change this pure white costume for the time being, so that we could not be so eye-catching.
But for some reason, even after changing this outfit, I feel that the gaze projected on me has not decreased much, but has become more straightforward. I always feel like people on the road are staring at my face from time to time.
Luo Luo intervened on the side and gloated a little: "I didn't expect that Lord Dingenier you are really popular, you see that the big girls, little daughters-in-law, and old aunts all over the street are all looking at you directly, what do you say they are thinking?" Is it coveting your beauty or ......"
As soon as Sharon raised his hand, he threw a package containing a series of important objects in his hand into Rollo's face, so that he would shut up and talk less nonsense; As he looked around, he said to me, "It's true that your Protoss looks a little eye-catching here, but that's why you attract the attention of those demons even more. I think that although the aura of the gods on your body is gone, it is impossible for them to be unsuspicious of your identity, and it will attract them closer, and you must also pay attention to the situation around you, after all, you are the only one of the three of us who can sense the whereabouts of the demon. ”
I nodded.
Now I can be sure that there are at least a hundred demons in this Duka town, which is a lot for a city. And according to my senses, it seems that they are not hiding in some hidden place, but are walking on the road in the open, even on the street where we are.
I told both of them what I had found, and we agreed to start with the one closest to us and see what was going on.
The demon wasn't too far away from us, and his sense of ability wasn't too strong, because his aura was still quite obvious, so we quickly squeezed through the crowd to the corresponding position. From a distance, I saw that this was a stall, and the inner and outer three floors were crowded with people. I don't really like this kind of crowded place, so it was Rollo who opened the way and forced us to squeeze in. Fortunately, after we squeezed in, the people who were originally gathered here saw my face, and they were quite embarrassed to squeeze us, and automatically dispersed a way, just watching me from a distance whispering and occasionally laughing. It seems that looks are sometimes a bit useful.
It's probably a shop that sells shells, and while I don't know what it's for, the surface of the scattered shells is covered in a very rough rune array.
I looked at the runes a little, and I was almost certain that the patterns were scribbled and not demonic at all. Inside the stall, a dwarf in a brown cloak was fiddling with something.
From the rough red skin and large nose under the brim of the hat, as well as the short size, we could easily tell that this was a mid-level demon.
It's not uncommon for mid-level demons to be seen, but it's the first time I've seen them wandering around in front of a large crowd like this, and this is simply not possible on land. But the residents here seem to be very accustomed to this kind of thing, not only do they not react to the appearance of this demon, but business is booming, which is really confusing.
The demon looked up a little strange when he saw that there were fewer people around him, and his expression was a little surprised when he saw us, and his eyes rolled as if to judge our identity. But in the end, he lowered his head and said, "What kind of talisman do you need?" "Looks like they recognize us as ordinary Sea Clan humans.
