Chapter 18: Into the City
Demon Rock City is located in the southwest of Jinyang Town.
After Lin Chen finished solving Wang Yi yesterday, he sneaked out of the Wang family's compound and took the fastest carriage to the city in Jinyang Town.
The carriage driver was rarely a martial artist, so through talking to him along the way, Lin Chen now had a general understanding of the basic situation of the next world.
The Star Blue Realm is divided into four regions, southeast, northwest, and northwest, and he is currently located in the Eastern Wilderness in the east.
The Eastern Wilderness as a whole can be summed up in one sentence such as the Nine Cities, the Five Sects and the Three Pavilions, the Five Sects and the Three Pavilions are independent of each other, each occupying a city, and often making trouble over a trivial matter, so the Eastern Wilderness has also become the worst overall strength in the Four Domains.
The Demon Rock City that Lin Chen is now heading to is the only city among the Nine Cities that is not occupied by sectarian forces, and the Demon Rock City is famous for its abundance of a material called Demon Rock, which is also a necessary material used by refining masters to make spiritual objects.
Outside the city of Demon Rock City, looking at the city wall that was tens of meters high, and the long queue lined up outside the city, Lin Chen sighed helplessly, because he had been queuing here for almost half an hour.
At this moment, there was a commotion in the crowd, and everyone looked towards one place, and Lin Chen also turned his head to look in that direction when he saw this.
I saw a man in a dark power suit, riding a wolf-like spirit beast with a threaded horn on its head and covered with snow-silver long hair, slowly walking towards the city gate.
"Silver Moon Demon Wolf, it's a member of the Wolf Yan Sect" Looking at the spirit beast that was nearly two meters tall, Lin Chen heard someone in the crowd shout.
"Wolf Yan Sect" Lin Chen recalled in his heart what the coachman had said to him before, the Wolf Yan Sect was one of the five sects of the Eastern Wilderness, and its strength was very strong, and the inner disciples of the sect would be equipped with such a Silver Moon Demon Wolf as a mount.
Thinking of this, Lin Chen saw that the man riding the Silver Moon Demon Wolf looked up disdainfully and glanced at the crowd queuing in front of him, he directly bypassed them and walked straight towards the city gate, the doorman saw this man, and did not stop him, but just lowered his head and saluted respectfully, and directly let him go.
"Is this the gap brought about by strength?" Seeing this scene, Lin Chen said silently in his heart.
After waiting for almost an hour, it was finally Lin Chen's turn, Lin Chen hurriedly took out two spirit stones from the storage ring, which was a fee that had to be paid to enter the city, and he saw that the people in front of him had paid.
"This Demon Rock City City Lord doesn't know how much he can earn in a day just for the entrance fee", Lin Chen thought silently in his heart, of course he didn't dare to say this sentence in front of the doorman.
"Stop!" When it was Lin Chen's turn, two men in heavy armor armed with spears stopped Lin Chen with weapons in their hands.
"Are the people defending the city so strong", looking at the momentum of the two people in front of him, Lin Chen guessed that they were at least a ninth-level martial artist or above, as for whether they had reached the mortal stage, Lin Chen was not clear.
"Enter the city and pay ten spirit stones," one of the guards said to Lin Chen, while the other looked down at a white jade plaque hanging from his waist.
"This is" Lin Chen saw the jade plaque, his pupils suddenly shrank, as if he didn't hear what the guard said, he remembered that there was such a jade plaque in Qi Bai's hand in the Wang family's compound last time.
Feeling the heat coming from his chest, Lin Chen suddenly guessed something, "Could it be that this jade plaque can identify whether we are people who came in from the outside world? So the Spirit Hall should be... Damn, if Su Ying is"
As if he suddenly thought of something bad, Lin Chen's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
"Do you have ten spirit stones, if not, get out, don't waste time here" The guard glanced at the jade plaque hanging from his companion's waist and saw that Lin Chen was standing in front of him in a daze at this time, and suddenly scolded loudly, he had seen too many people who were reluctant to pay the entrance fee to the city.
"Ahh Isn't it two?" After hearing the guard's scolding, Lin Chen recovered from the state he had just had, but he remembered that the few people who entered the city in front of him just now only paid two spirit stones, so why did it be his turn to pay ten.
"Two big brothers, I see that the few people in front of me only handed over two?" Lin Chen looked at the two guards and asked, although he had money, he didn't want to be cheated like this.
"That's for ordinary people, and the warrior charges ten, this is the rule set by the city lord, why do you have an opinion?" said the guard with a very bad face.
"No, no, it's the first time I'm here, I don't know" Lin Chen was a little embarrassed, and quickly took out eight more spirit stones from the storage ring and handed them to the two guards along with the previous two in his hand.
The two guards looked a little better after seeing Lin Chen pay the entrance fee to the city.
"Let's go in," said one of the guards.
After entering the city, Lin Chen asked for directions on the spot, found an inn with a decent reputation, and after paying fifty five-day accommodation fees, Lin Chen finally had a place to rest in Magic Rock City.
In this room, which was more than ten square meters in size, Lin Chen looked at the simple decorations around him, picked up a silver ring from the pocket on his waist, and sighed helplessly.
"I can't open it at all, even if I have money in it, I can't use it" Lin Chen looked at the ring that he took off from the head of the Wang family, his eyes were full of helplessness.
"Xiao Huang, do you have a way?" Lin Chen asked the little guy, Xiao Huang just escaped from Lin Chen's arms, in order to avoid being discovered, it had just been hiding in it and sleeping.
"Squeak" Xiao Huang shook his head and replied that Lin Chen had no choice.
"It seems that you can only open it after you enter the mortal stage" He had heard others say before that there was no way for a martial artist to forcibly open a storage ring like this, because there was no special power of aura in the martial artist's body, and only by using aura could he forcibly open this storage ring that once had a master.
Lin Chen had also tried before, even if he used the strange energy generated by the cultivation of the broken star in his body, he would not be able to open this storage ring.
"This feeling is really..."Lin Chen felt very uncomfortable in his heart, this ring was worn on the hand of the head of the Wang family before, although the Wang family was just a small family in the Eastern Wilderness, but after all, he had been in business for so many years, so for Lin Chen, there should be a lot of good things in it.
After playing with the ring on his hand for a while, Lin Chen put it away, this thing will definitely be used in the future.
"This world is really getting more and more mysterious" Lin Chen sat near the window, looking at the starry sky in the distance, he remembered the white jade plate that guarded the waist when he entered the city during the day.
"What is it exactly, is the Spirit Hall really related to the outside Lingyang Star?" Thinking of this, Lin Chen couldn't help but worry about Su Ying again
If that thing was really used to detect whether a person came in from the outside world, then Su Ying and they must be very dangerous at the moment, after all, they are not like themselves, they have this mysterious pendant.
