Chapter Twenty-Six: The City of Beasts
"Alright, it's time for you to go into town. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "The burly orc is a little reluctant, in the past three days, he and Lingfeng have seen each other late, and they eat meat and drink happily every day. He has been supervising the gate for ten years, and these three days are the happiest three days for him. But their rule was that people who came in through the gate had to enter the city to register.
"I've had a lot of fun these two days." Lingfeng said sincerely: "If I can, I will come and have a few more drinks with you." ”
The orc smiled and replied, "Okay, I'll wait for you." ”
Lingfeng then got into the car driven by the two thinner orcs and left.
The car is still the kind of car with wheels, which is almost impossible to see on the ground, and most of them have become the collection of the wealthy, and they are well treasured. After all, a car with wheels can't get as fast as a car with anti-gravity levitation.
Lingfeng looked at the artificial sun in the sky in the car. The ecological environment here is actually no different from the ground, except that it is slightly smaller, only the size of a city, but it is enough to provide for the reproduction of a race.
Driving all the way into the city, Lingfeng found that the buildings here were also a bit old, and there were many overhead lines. Above-ground technology is more developed, mostly wireless energy and underground cables. It can be assumed that the technical level of the orcs is not particularly high.
The roads are very wide, but there are very few people. Along the way, Lingfeng only saw a few orcs. And it's not strong and burly, just like the two orcs around him, it's just a little stronger than normal humans.
"Here we are." The driving orc looked back and said.
Lingfeng nodded, got out of the car and looked at the building in front of him. The building is like a matchbox square, Lingfeng walked into this house and found a mechanical clan. This mechanical tribe has six legs like a spider, and walks towards the spirit phoenix.
"Hello and welcome to Beast City. I'm your head and my name is Ghost. The machine introduced itself.
"So there are mechs here, too."
"Of course, but I was once an explorer who came here. Finally settled here. He laughs.
"Aren't explorers all incessant? Would you rather stay in one place for a long time? If you do the math, it's been more than 100 years, right? ”
"It's really good here, and there are no disputes, so it's still a good fit for me. It's been more than 100 years, and time flies. "The clever is also a little nostalgic for his original adventure career." Let's go see the lord of the city. ”
The Clever led Lingfeng into the backyard of the house, the backyard was extremely noisy, there were many orcs here, and each of them was a strong and burly kind. A circle is drawn between them, and two orcs are engaged in hand-to-hand combat in the middle. The orcs watching the battle roared wildly, cheering on the two in the middle.
The deafening sound made something in Lingfeng's heart seem to be awakened, his body was a little hot, and his right eye was also a little red. Looking at the two people in the middle of the hand-to-hand fight, he also had the urge to go in and have a big fight. This is completely contrary to his character of being afraid of death, and he doesn't know why he has such emotions.
The person in the middle of the hand-to-hand fight seemed to have discovered Lingfeng, and waved his hand to signal to stop, causing a roar of disappointment.
He walked towards Lingfeng, looked down at Lingfeng with a height of almost a zhang and said, "You are the mechanical clan who pushed the door in?" ”
Lingfeng's right eye was still red, staring at the place where he had just fought hand-to-hand and was unmoved.
The orc was a little surprised, looked at Lingfeng, then turned his head to look at the place where he had just fought, smiled and bent his head and said, "Want to fight?" ”
Lingfeng looked at the orc, panting. He closed his eyes, softened his mind, and let out a long breath to calm his mind. When he opened his eyes, he said in a calm tone as much as possible, "No need. ”
The orc's face was a little strange, and he smiled and said, "Then another day, let's talk about you first, and come with me." ”
The orc led Lingfeng into a room in the house. Motioned for Lingfeng to sit casually. Then I found a big sofa chair and sat down heavily.
"This is where the orcs live, and you should know that. We have been living underground for hundreds of years. ”
"The earth thinks you are extinct"
"Well, we were indeed on the verge of extinction, so we had to hide here."
"You should be back on earth in the next hundred years, when it will be the most peaceful times."
"Peace?" The orcs were somewhat disdainful: "There was never true peace. ”
"How do you say that?"
"How many races have you seen? Did you know that there were hundreds of races before the war? But how many races have you seen in your current era? ”
Lingfeng calculated in his heart, it was really very few, there were once hundreds of races?
"I'm not talking nonsense, in short, it is almost impossible to want peace, and even if there is, it is only short-lived." The orc paused, "You stay here for a while." There are no restrictions on what you want to do, just say what you want. The Ghost will help you. With that, he left the room, and the Ghost came in and led him to his quarters.
At the residence, Lingfeng asked Jiling: "What have you been doing here for more than 100 years?" ”
"I'm a mechanical clan, so I can solve some mechanical problems, and I usually manage the food supply of the orc clan."
"More than a hundred years? You don't want to leave yet? ”
The Clever shook his head: "I used to want to leave, but I can only enter here, not go out." Over time, I got used to it. ”
Lingfeng seemed to think of something: "They won't let you go out, are they afraid that you will reveal your secret?" ”
"Yes, the orcs don't seem to want the people of the earth to know that they are not extinct. It seems that he is afraid of something, so everyone who comes here will be treated well and treated as relatives and friends, but he can't go out. ”
"Wouldn't that be the same as going to jail?" Lingfeng just wanted to take refuge here and go out in a few days.
"The orcs themselves are not the same, they hide in this underground to survive in order for the race to continue to reproduce. They weren't in a good mood either. ”
"Is there a way out of the way?"
"Don't think about it, they are very rigid, don't force them to come, otherwise you will die. There was once an explorer who insisted on leaving, and finally said that he could let him go if he won the city lord, but he was blown up before he could take three moves under the city lord. Clever said with some fear.
"Listen to what you mean, just win the city lord?"
"No kidding, in this city, the city lord is the strongest. It's harder to beat him than to climb to the sky. "Clever doesn't believe that Lingfeng can win against the city lord. In his eyes, the city lord is a god-like being.
"But I just saw that he seemed to be on par with another guy."
"That's the city lord's reserved strength, he has never completely unleashed his full strength. Listening to those spirit beast people say that if the city lord blows with all his strength, he has a hundred tons of strength, think about it, can you still be intact with the weight of a hundred tons on your body? ”
"What is a spirit beast man?"
"It's the thin orcs who are called spirit orcs, and the burly ones are called orcs. There are some differences between the two. ”
Lingfeng fell silent, and his wit didn't say much. After saying goodbye to Lingfeng, he left the room.
The next day, Lingfeng woke up early and wandered around the city. There wasn't much entertainment here, and it made him a little boring. He tried to go out of the city to find the orc who was guarding the gate, but was stopped at the gate. Lingfeng was very unhappy, but it was not easy to attack, after all, this was someone else's territory.
The backyard of the City Lord's Mansion is the arena for the orcs, and this is where force is respected. The scope of the contest is a circle with a diameter of ten meters, which is similar to some of the rules of the contest on the ground, except that the difference should be undifferentiated hand-to-hand combat. There is no restriction on how you can fight, unless you use external forces, such as weapons or hidden poisons. For the rest, just win.
There is also a huge electronic screen in the arena, with the unique text of the orcs marked 'Beastmaster List' There are ten names displayed on it, and the first place is the city lord.
Lingfeng came to the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion and saw that there was a battle here, didn't the orcs do anything and fight from morning to night every day? He got up early.
The city lord stood aside and saw Lingfeng, nodded, and motioned for him to come over.
After walking over, the city lord asked him with a smile, "How are you okay with a night's rest?" ”
"I slept soundly. I rarely slept like this on the ground. ”
The lord of the city seemed to hear something, and asked, "You don't sleep well on the ground?" What's happening on the ground? ”
"The world has been invaded."
"Invasion?"
"Aliens."
"Oh, I see, the doctor is here."
Lingfeng was a little surprised, how could he say the same as what the dragon said?" Why do you call a doctor? ”
"Hehe, this is a saying in the old times, I have lived for more than 600 years, when the earth was already devastated, one day, the earth suddenly emitted a huge fluctuation, that fluctuation is still fresh in my memory, it is simply irresistible. It didn't take long for it to disappear. ”
"And then?"
"When the violent fluctuations stopped, someone put forward a hypothesis that the earth had a mind, and that he knew he was sick and wanted to contact a doctor to treat him. And he himself is like a human being, how likely is it that human beings can survive the plague of terminal illness by their own ability? As a result, this assumption was more and more affirmed, and it also caused a certain sensation. ”
"I see, in fact, what you said is almost the same as what a friend I know said."
"Oh?" The city lord was slightly surprised, and then said with a smile: "It seems that this friend of yours is also an old fellow who has lived for a long time." What's his name? I don't know. ”
"That's impossible, he said that his ancestors knew the dragons, and it was a machine itself, so I think he probably knew these things from the memories of his ancestors."
"Cyborgs? Still on good terms with the dragons? This was rare at the time. I'm afraid I don't know either, but don't believe all of what your friend said, it's hard to say that he's really an old guy from hundreds of years ago, just pretending to be tender. ”
Lingfeng agreed with what the city lord said in his heart, and he himself felt that the dragon was hiding something from him.
"By the way, you seemed to want to fight when you came here yesterday, do you want to do it now?"
Lingfeng looked at the tall city lord, thinking that if he might go out in the future, he would definitely have to fight, since this was the case, it might be a good choice to start testing it now, and he seemed to be eager for a big battle in his heart.
"Good! I'll give it a try. ”
