Chapter 44: Lonely City! The first update
Autumn breezes blow through the mountains of Urresse and along the Zanlaga marshes across the Solitary City.
It's a city with a sad history, and the name Lonely City is a reminder of what it's been through. This is an ancient city that has existed for hundreds of years, and it has never been as prosperous as White Horse Castle, but it has never been ruined. This is the mission of the god of learning, and their doctrine is that scholars should be accustomed to endure solitude, and that this loneliness should be endured in order to pass on knowledge, and to pass on all books and knowledge that have been valuable to any race and civilization over the ages.
The city is far from the flames of war.
Not only is there a reverence for knowledge, but also because there are many powerful scholars in the neutral camp here.
Knowledge is power.
There are countless books kept in the tower of Lonely City, in addition to poetry, documents, history, biographies, etc., or magic, alchemy, mysteries and many other knowledge, as long as these scholars can collect and preserve, they will copy, repair, complete as much as possible, and finally store them in the tower of Lonely City one by one. No one knows how many books and documents have been preserved, only that their work has been around for hundreds of years, and that these scholars can even be rewarded by the gods of learning when they turn in new books.
It used to be a favorite place for adventurers.
For the God of Learning, though not powerful, is a generous deity, and it seems that for this deity He does not care anything other than knowledge. Ancient texts from underground ruins can fetch a high price here, even for broken and rudimentary inscriptions. It could be a good profit.
This is the city with the highest literacy rate on the physical plane.
Once the god of learning wanted to promote enlightenment books, but due to the productivity of the entire plane, all plans ultimately failed.
Solitude is like a reclusive scholar.
There is no bustling trade here. There is also no convenient transportation, and people have been living a peaceful life, as if a group of hermits were busy with their mission.
But.
Something has disturbed the peace of Solitude recently.
As the floods flooded the south, the lizardfolk expanded their territory along the river, and the gods they served were said to have moved, and many lizardfolk tribes were united during this time.
Lonely City has also been affected a bit.
Flooding rivers flooded farmland, and displaced civilians gathered outside the city. The emergence of the outcasts has provided an opportunity for some evil people. In addition to the figure of the Dread Sect, there are faint traces of demonic activity here.
The boundaries of the plane have become increasingly fragile.
It seems that the devils always find a way to appear on the physical plane, and the followers of the Lord of Light are now a little exhausted.
"Is this the parish of the God of Learning?"
A young wizard came to the city gates. He looked at everything in front of him, his expression seemed a little disappointed, and muttered, "I thought this would be another wizarding city, but I didn't expect it...... So unremarkable! ……”
Accustomed to the bustle of the South Coast. He was a little disappointed with the city.
"The secret of learning is not preservation. It's about creating and discovering. ”
The middle-aged nun standing next to her smiled, and she could tell that she had an arcane aura on her, a high-level professional who was a wizard part-time priest, and she shook her head slightly, "There is always a lack of vitality here. ”
"Lina."
"What are you looking at? Hurry up! ”
A motorcade drove past them, and the driver cautiously glanced at the emblem on each other's chest, leaning slightly over them and cautiously avoiding collision with these extraordinary men.
Some of them wore the insignia of the Silvermoon Church, which included the priest who served the Silvermoon Lady.
"Huh!?"
A crisp girl's voice came. Then I saw a little girl with a delicate face come over a little helplessly, and murmured, "Nothing! …… It's nothing! …… It's just that I'm feeling a little distracted. ”
The middle-aged nun smiled and stroked her long hair. Said softly: "Silly boy! It's all in the past. ”
"You are the patron of Lady Silvermoon."
"Lady Silvermoon has been watching you silently, no one can hurt you! ……”
The girl seemed a little shy, nodded slightly and then stopped talking, but looked at the alley before leaving, vaguely sensing something.
Inside the alley.
A man with a gloomy face was staring at this side, his brow furrowed, and he muttered, "Discover the Son of Fear!" ”
"But the target is actually Lady Silvermoon's followers."
"Nope."
"This must first be reported to the priests! ……”
The other side.
A team is also heading towards Lonely City, led by a middle-aged man with a cold face and a murderous aura that looks like an executioner.
He frowned and looked at the river not far away, and said in a low voice, "Miss." ”
"There's a lizardman scout behind us who has been following us for a long time, why don't you send someone to kill it! ……”
After a while.
A crisp child's voice came from the carriage in the center of the procession, and he said calmly: "Don't worry about it. These lizardmen aren't worth our time. ”
The middle-aged man responded, "Yes." ”
The team quickly moved on, and it could be seen that the team was well-equipped, the guards on the left and right were all good players, and there was not even a shortage of high-level professionals with combat experience.
Lonely City is already in sight.
Suddenly.
There was a strange energy fluctuation in the carriage, followed by a crisp child's voice: "Stop." ”
"We're not going into town today."
"Command all men to camp outside the city and be on guard."
The team was quick to move.
It can be seen that they cooperate tacitly and carry out orders very efficiently, and the wanderers sent out soon found a suitable position for camping and not easy to be attacked, and the secret sentinels also began to lay guard traps around them.
"There's a Son of Dread here!"
Inside the carriage, a smile of excitement appeared on the corner of Vivian's mouth, who was wearing a delicate black princess dress, as if she was talking to herself: "Vivian! Let's go kill him! ”
There was a brief silence.
The little girl then said to herself, "Lillian." The struggle between the Sons of Fear is over. ”
"I could sense that there was no hostility on the other side."
As if feeling unhappy, the little girl pursed her lips and said with some interest: "I am afraid that there are only enemies and no friends among the gods!" If we don't kill him, maybe he will want to kill us? ”
"Forget it."
"Let's finish the business first, this fear god is very weak, and it should be impossible to threaten us."
