Chapter 63 The Pearl of the East Never Sleeps
"Passengers, welcome to the Land of Fire! The cruise ship is about to arrive at the terminal - Ludan City! Passengers are requested to prepare their belongings so as not to miss them, and please disembark in an orderly manner after docking......"
A gentle female voice came from inside a loudspeaker, repeatedly announcing the impending arrival of the station, reminding passengers to prepare to disembark.
After the cruise ship docked and stopped, Zhou Yu got up from the sofa and walked away.
Standing on the deck, looking at Ludan City in the distance, Zhou Yu couldn't help but exclaim, this is actually a volcanic city.
Situated on top of an active volcano, what did the people who built the city think? Aren't you afraid of volcanic eruptions?
After disembarking from the boat, there was a plain in front of me, a green grass growing thickly, and the breeze was blowing like a wave.
"The plants here are so luxuriant?"
This was the first time Zhou Yu had seen such a lush plain.
As he got closer to Ludan City, the crops became more and more lush, and Zhou Yu even saw wheat that was close to a person's height. Compared to the previous Rock Kingdom, it seems to be more prosperous and quiet.
That's right, as soon as he arrived here, Zhou Yu felt that even the air seemed to carry an element called peace and tranquility. Without the fighting and intrigue everywhere in the Rock Kingdom, this contrast almost made Zhou Yu not adjust.
"Surprised? You're here for the first time! ”
A girl wearing a moon-white robe with a string of pearl necklaces on her chest and a gentle face said to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu looked at the girl and nodded, this feeling of tranquility and peace that he rarely experienced, almost every time he spent it in fighting and fighting.
"Yes, I'm from afar, I'm a traveler, and this is the first time I've seen wheat growing so well, and I can't help but be a little amazed!"
"This is a gift from a wizard, a gift from my lord, and when the time comes, you can also see a magical scene, don't be too surprised!"
"yes, then I'll see."
After a simple conversation, the girl and Zhou Yu walked side by side and walked towards Ludan City together.
Zhou Yu doesn't care, this girl looks as pure as a little girl next door, in Zhou Yu's opinion, she feels like she has just entered society, and even a girl who has just left home is not necessarily.
The most important thing is that the girl did not bring him any sense of crisis, and it was difficult to threaten Zhou Yu with the strength of the girl, which was one of the reasons why he was relieved to walk with him.
As they got closer and closer to Ludan City, the outline of the entire city had already appeared in the field of vision, and then a black dot appeared in the field of vision.
The black dot grew larger and larger, slowly rising into the air, obscuring the sky like a dark cloud.
"Behold, the gift of my Lord is coming!" The girl on the side suddenly reminded.
Tick-click!
A light rain began to fall in the sky, and the black rain slowly fell to the ground with the breeze.
From time to time, a few peasants in the surrounding fields ran out, looked at the black rain in the sky, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
"Thank you, Lord Wizard, for letting us harvest, and thank my lord for the gift!"
Zhou Yu stretched out his hand to take a drop of black rain, which fell lightly in the palm of his hand, without weight.
"Is this - volcanic ash? It seems to have added a bit of artificial additives, a bit like chemical fertilizer. ”
Volcanic ash itself is rich in nutrients, and with the processing of wizards, it is no doubt that the earth's chemical fertilizers are already in good shape.
"That's right, the wizard masters control every eruption of the active volcano, evenly distribute the volcanic ash from each eruption to every part of the plain, and the other kinetic energy of the volcanic eruption is collected as a daily energy source for the operation of the city, so Ludan City has another name - the Pearl of the Orient!"
"Oriental Pearl?"
Zhou Yu feels a bit of a drama, is it really fake? Isn't this a famous landmark in China, why did you come here?
"What an amazing technology!"
Zhou Yu praised that it was not easy to control such a huge active volcano in front of him, which required far more manpower and material resources than Zhou Yu imagined.
And it is directly built on an active volcano, such an idea and boldness also made Zhou Yu admire, after all, if you are not careful, it is likely that the entire city will come to naught.
"Surprised, isn't it? Looks like the places you've traveled before are comparable to that! Then you have to adapt to the new environment and rules. ”
The girl's words seemed to mean something, Zhou Yu's face did not change, but he was slightly vigilant in his heart, it seems that he is still a little out of place here, even such a girl can see that she is different, and others are afraid that it will be easier to find out!
Smiling slightly, he looked at the girl and said, "I love peace and yearn for a quiet life, so I came here specially, and I will abide by the rules here!" ”
"Really? Then you will definitely love this place, peaceful and peaceful, nice and prosperous, have a nice time, then goodbye! ”
The girl said goodbye to Zhou Yu and left, and Zhou Yu didn't care about it after looking at it.
After an hour or so, Zhou Yu came to the gate of Ludan City, looked at the tall city wall and exclaimed again.
At this time, the gate of Ludan City was already full of queues, and many heads of people looked at the black pressure at a glance.
Zhou Yu glanced at it, and with a light sigh, he found that the few doors in line were mainly ordinary people, and there were not many people queuing up at a few doors on the side, all of them were strong people, and the lowest ones were all Jinjia and the like.
Quietly, Zhou Yu left the crowd and walked to the door on the other side.
Everyone was surprised, but they didn't bother with anything, this person probably wanted to try his luck, and he would know the cruelty of the truth when he was driven back by the guards.
Unfortunately, it didn't go as they wished.
Zhou Yu came to the door here, and when the guards were about to step forward, a breath of aura erupted on Zhou Yu's body, which was much stronger than the likes of the Golden Armor.
"Zirconium?!"
A guard on the side exclaimed, and then bowed his head to Zhou Yu and said, "My lord's forgiveness, I don't know if my lord is here, may I ask what your name is?" ”
Zhou Yu stopped, "Those who don't know are not guilty, in the lower end of the wood saint!" ”
"It turned out to be Lord Duanmu, my lord will wait a minute, I will go down and get you an identity token, with this token, the adults can enter and exit Ludan City at will after that!"
It didn't take long for the guard to bring a token that looked like gold and non-gold, with a miniature of Ludan City on the front and a masked woman as white as jade on the back.
The woman on the token is Mingguang who played chess with Hei Yan before, but unfortunately Zhou Yu doesn't know, otherwise it is estimated that he will not necessarily trouble the other party, but it is difficult to say who is looking for trouble with whom.
Putting away the token, Zhou Yu suddenly spoke, "By the way, is the zirconium grade you mentioned before the grade division of Ludan City?" ”
"Yes, sir! Because the wizard adults are very powerful, it is difficult to distinguish the specifics, so the wizard union here in Ludan City has measured a set of distinguishing levels. ”
"Is it convenient to talk about the specific hierarchy?"
"My lord, what we know at present, from low to high, are: iron level, silver level, gold level, and then there is a zirconium level like you, adult, and then there are stars above, I don't know if there is a villain in the back."
"Star? Okay, thank you. ”
After speaking, Zhou Yu stepped into Ludan City.
When you enter the city, the first thing you feel is that it is very large and wide, and the streets on both sides are as wide as 16 lanes, and although there are many pedestrians, the roads are not crowded.
After that, the feeling is very prosperous, with shops on both sides and a flow of people. Even if it was close to evening, the flow of people did not decrease, and he now somewhat understood why this place was called the Oriental Pearl.
Because it's a city that never sleeps!
And this also opened Zhou Yu's eyes, there was a dark cloud-like lifeform, a caterpillar wearing a hat like a gentleman bargaining with the shopkeeper, there were Smurfs with a pair of small wings on their backs, there were tall giants, and even ordinary people with no energy fluctuations, mixed in the crowd, everyone lived peacefully and peacefully.
This is hard to imagine in Zhou Yu's opinion, after all, the strong rarely intersect with ordinary people.
"This is the first time you've come to Ludan City?"
Zhou Yu's appearance was naturally seen by others, and immediately a little boy ran over, bent down and saluted, and said in awe with a smile on his face.
"Do you need a guide or guide? My price must be the cheapest, I grew up in Ludan City since I was a child, and I am very familiar with every inch of land here......"
Zhou Yu smiled slightly, isn't this a humanoid navigator?
"Hyacinth?"
This type of person also has a professional name - hyacinth.
"What's your name?"
"My lord! My name is Alan. Alan was excited, it seems that today's order is very likely to be completed, and he has not taken an order for three days.
Zhou Yu smiled, "I want to live here, do you know where to handle it?" ”
"Do adults stay long or short? For longer stays, renting an apartment in a public center is the best deal! ”
"Take me there, let's go see first."
"Yes, sir!"
Alan is very excited, the big man who can live in Ludan City for a long time, I'm afraid that a little charity is enough for him to live for a month, right?
And if he can really rent it, he will also get a little cashback, which can be regarded as a little benefit for hyacinths.
followed Alan around and around for about half an hour and came to the door of a large hall.
I have to say that if there is no hyacinth, it will not be easy for Zhou Yu to find the main hall.
"My lord, Ludan City is divided into three floors, the outermost layer is the first floor, which belongs to the public open area, the second floor is the area for long-term residence and settlement, and the third floor is the one that requires a certain strength to enter, the small ones have never been there, and they don't know the situation on the third floor."
Entering the main hall, there was a long queue at each handling window, and Alan took the initiative to line up as soon as he confessed, while Zhou Yu sat in a lounge in the main hall.
It didn't take long for Alan to come over, "Your Excellency has arrived!" ”
Zhou Yu then came to the No. 7 window, and inside the counter was a very cute little girl with a pair of cat ears.
Cat people? I thought with a wicked taste in my heart, why didn't I use the rabbit clan?
"My lord? What can I do for you? ”
Catwoman was a little uncomfortable by Zhou Yu, and unconsciously moved her ears.
"I want to rent a house for about a year, and I want to be fully equipped......"
Why rent for a year, because Zhou Yu learned that the next flight would be in a year, which means that Zhou Yu could only return to the Rock Kingdom after a year.
"Okay sir, please wait!"
Catwoman quickly flipped through a screen in front of her, which was densely covered with red dots, one of which represented a house.
Soon Catgirl marked nine red dots.
"My lord, this is a house that meets the needs of adults at the moment, you can take a look at it first!"
"Okay!"
