1 He Walked to the Abyss Chapter 127: The Dwarves of Gru City
On the boundless grassland, beside the vast Carnero River, a gorgeous white carriage was parked, and not far from the carriage, there were three figures resting by the river.
It's been ten days since she left the Rhine, and because of Isabella's departure, almost the entire trip has been spent in silence, and even the most lively Hayley has become quiet.
Only the heartless black rabbit will occasionally spit out a few fragrant words.
"Crossing the river, we're on to the next city. ”
Looking at the calm river, Chen Ming said with a smile, "I heard that there are many skilled craftsmen in Gru City, and most of the magic props in the third layer world come from there, and when you get to the city, we will tailor some practical magic props for you, what do you think?"
"Whatever. ”
Obviously not in a high mood, the elf said casually, and got up and walked towards the carriage.
Sighing helplessly, Chen Ming was not angry, in fact, not only Hailey, but also the emotions of him and the Black Rabbit were not high, although it was only a few months, but after all, no one could control it if they were used to this kind of thing.
"Uncle's!"
The black rabbit scolded angrily and said to Chen Ming, "That carriage has turned Lao Tzu's ass into two pieces, and when you get to Gru City, you quickly change the cushion!
Chen Ming didn't speak, just nodded silently, he knew that this was a way for the black rabbit to vent his heart, but it could, he couldn't.
"There is still half a year to go, and the trip is over......"
Looking at the clear blue sky, Chen Ming fell into a trance, "An Mixiu, I hope you don't deceive me......"
Near the campfire in the middle of the night, because the black rabbit couldn't stand the bumps of the carriage, he hid between the contracts early, and only Chen Ming and Hailey were left sitting on the grass.
Looking at the flames dancing in front of him, Chen Ming broke the silence, "What are you going to do when the trip is over?"
"What? Thinking about how to get me away so quickly?"
Hailey raised her head and looked at the young man mockingly, "Sure enough, it's a high-ranking nobleman, is your relationship so worthless!"
"I don't intend to send anyone away. ”
Looking at the obviously angry elf, Chen Ming smiled bitterly, "Even as a nobleman, there are many things that I can't help myself, some things are not something I can decide, Hailey, you used to be a high-level life, don't you even understand such a simple truth?"
"Higher beings?"
Hayley sarcastically said, "Then I really feel sorry for myself, I suddenly feel that it is better to stay in Rhine City with Catwoman than to travel with a noble young master like you!"
Chen Ming frowned slightly, and said in a ghostly manner, "Then you should have been with Catwoman in the first place, why did you come with you?"
"Ask yourself!"
Hayley let out a loud outlet and left the campfire, "You bastard!"
Looking at the back of the elf, Chen Ming laughed at himself in a low voice, "It's quite a bastard." ”
The depressed mood, even the starry sky is rendered sad, they hide themselves behind the dark clouds, leaving the darkness for the night.
However, on the other side of the river, there were brilliant lights flickering, and they did not lose the sleepless nights they should have because of the dimming of the starlight.
In the early morning sun, Chen Ming and the Black Rabbit stood by the river, and the former said, "With our magic, can we make an ice bridge across the other bank?"
"The width of this river is at most a thousand meters, and according to normal terms, with the interference influence of fifth-order magic, it can be done. ”
Black Rabbit explained, but quickly added, "But before that, I think you'd better communicate with the city-dwellers on the other side of the river, because some races are extremely xenophobic, and once they find out that there is a wide range of magic, they will attack for no reason." ”
The cities of the Third Hell are like small kingdoms, except for merchants and some low-level beings who can shuttle between each other at will, and everything else, whether it is political power or rule, has its own independence, rather than monopolizing power like an empire.
Just like Garo City and Ice City, the two cities limit their travel to and below the seventh order, and once a seventh-order demon wants to go to the other city, it must be approved by the city lords of the two cities before they can travel freely.
Therefore, the Black Rabbit's worries are not unreasonable, each city has a different level of contact, and it is not impossible for Chen Ming to launch a magic now and be attacked by the city.
"In that case, I'll make a trip myself. ”
Having made up his mind, Chen Ming instructed, "Before I come back, protect Hailey and the carriage." ”
"Hmm. ”
The Black Rabbit nodded and said, "If something is wrong, it will be forcibly summoned immediately." ”
"Got it. ”
Chen Ming smiled, and the rich wind element turned into wings behind him, and then he shook it hard, and swept directly towards the other side of the river.
As the Black Rabbit said, the width of the Canero River was about a kilometer, and it didn't take much time to reach the opposite bank with the speed of Tatsunaru's flight.
After landing, Chen Ming opened the map to confirm the direction, and then took a step and walked towards the forest not far away.
The forest is not big, and after walking for about half an hour, Chen Ming can vaguely see the outline of the city in front of him.
"Is that the city of artisans, Gru City?"
Squinting slightly, Chen Ming's gaze fell on the white city wall that was slightly reflected in the sunlight in the distance, "Let's go and see it first." ”
As the distance increased, there were more pedestrians on the originally quiet official road, and Chen Ming found that although the life that came and went here was extremely strong, it was extremely short.
"It's a dwarven city......
Feeling a little out of the crowd, Tatsunato walked into the city gate, walked to the nearest stall selling magic items, and asked, "May I ask, can you answer some of my questions?" ”
The stall owner was a bearded middle-aged man with a lot of meat, he raised his head to look at Chen Ming, his eyes flashed with a fine light, "Buy a magic prop, I'll answer." ”
"Good. ”
Chen Ming nodded, and then glanced down at the few things placed on the ground, judging from the magic fluctuations coming from above, they were indeed high-quality magic props.
Picking out a delicate necklace inlaid with emeralds at random, Chen Ming smiled, "I want this." ”
The stall owner's eyes flashed, and he stretched out his hand and said, "The natural necklace has a fourth-order healing magic array hidden inside, which can be activated by injecting a small amount of magic power, and costs 30,000 gold coins. ”
"Thirty thousand gold coins? ”
Chen Ming, who already has some understanding of the purchasing power of money, also has some base on the price of some magic props, normally speaking, the price of the fourth-order magic scroll is generally set at about five thousand gold coins, although the magic necklace in front of him seems to be extremely expensive, in fact, if you really want to calculate it, it is much cheaper,
Although the fourth-order magic scroll can be activated without using mana, it is relatively low in price because it is a disposable item.
And this necklace is a magic prop that can be used infinitely, although it takes some magic power to launch magic, but this kind of magic burden, even some third-order demons have no pressure, in the long run, the value of the necklace has far exceeded the scroll.
After paying the gold coins, Chen Ming spoke again, "Can you answer for me now?"
Having just negotiated a deal, the dwarf was in a much better mood and said, "Ask." ”
Chen Ming coughed lightly and asked respectfully, "That's the case, I have a carriage parked on the other side of Canero City, I want to build a temporary bridge through ice element magic, I wonder if your city allows it?"
"Of course. ”
The dwarf laughed, "Gru is a city of artisans, and our business is all over Hell, and in the same way, we welcome visitors from outside to come and go, as long as they are not hostile. ”
"Okay, thank you. ”
Chen Ming bent down and saluted, "Please rest assured, my companion and I have only come here to see the beauty of this city, and we will definitely not show hostility towards your city." ”
When he had said that, he turned and walked out of the city.
Returning to the riverbank, Chenming's eyes narrowed slightly, and he spread his wings and flew to the center of the Canero River, and then the magic in his body surged.
"Elemental magic, Bridge of Ice!"
With the banks of the river on both sides as the foundation, the two long ice walls were centered on Chenming's location, bent into an elliptical arc, spliced together, and Chenming himself flapped his wings back to the carriage.
"Give. ”
Handing the necklace in his hand to the still silent elf in the carriage, Chen Ming smiled, "I'll give you a small gift." ”
Hailey turned her face away and ignored him, and in desperation, Chen Ming had to say, "It's just a gift for me to apologize to you, if you don't want it, you can just throw it away." ”
Hayley reluctantly took it, and said indignantly, "Don't think I'll forgive you like this." ”
Although she said this, there was a trace of emotion and apology in the depths of the elf's turquoise eyes, all along, she had been angry at Chenming, she knew that Isabella's departure was not the fault of the teenager, but she still had difficulty controlling her emotions.
"Actually, it's me who should apologize......"
The elf thought.
"Let's have a good walk around Gru City. ”
Perhaps sensing her emotions, Tatsunato said with a smile and drove the carriage up the ice bridge to the city of Gru, which belonged to the dwarves.
