Chapter Twenty-Eight: The City of Illusions
Sikong Cliff tentatively walked towards the nine-story tower. When I got closer to Sikong Cliff, I saw that the shape of this tower was very similar to the style of the tower of Chinese Buddhism. However, the columns of this tower and the style of the reliefs on the columns are clearly in the style of the ancient Inca Empire.
Sikong Cliff walked around this quaint and strange ancient tower, but did not find an entrance, let alone a door, not even a window. Although there was such a small gap between the pillars supporting the ancient tower, when Sikong Cliff tried to enter, there was an invisible force that blocked him from continuing to advance.
"Luffy-sama, I think this is the place of the ancestors' revelations." Hukamum said abruptly on the other side of the ancient tower.
"What? Do you know how to get in? Sikong Ya heard the sound and hurriedly looked for it.
It's just that when Sikong Ya took An An and Bo Bo'er to Hukamm's side, he only felt a whole energy fluctuation, and then Sikong Ya's eyes flashed with white light. When he opened his eyes again, Sikong Cliff noticed that he seemed to have entered a strange space.
What appeared in front of Sikong Cliff was a city, although Sikong Cliff had long been accustomed to the prosperity of a modern big city, but he was still shocked by the city in front of him.
The city was unlike any other city he had seen before, he was not always on the same plane, but constantly descended from the tallest castle in the center. The whole city is like a giant pyramid of steps, and the houses on the stairs look more ordinary and shabby the further you go. And the most profound impact on Sikong Cliff is that almost all the buildings in this city are built of pure white stone.
Now Sikong Cliff is at the gate of the lowest staircase, which leads to the winding road in the middle of the city, and on both sides of it is full of all kinds of shops and hawkers.
There are also a lot of pedestrians on the road, and the pedestrians on this street are also of all races. Sikong Cliff looked over and saw humans, elves and orcs, and there were many races that Sikong Cliff had never seen at all. And the largest number of them is one that looks similar to humans, but is much better than humans in terms of height, appearance and temperament.
"Player Jelly Luffy enters the Goblin Race Mission Fantasy - White Rock City"
"It turned out to be a fantasy in the mission." Sikong Ya muttered to himself.
If this is the fantasy of the goblin race's quest, then this whitestone city illusion should be the city of the goblin ancestor race. And the nameless race that looked taller and more handsome than humans was the ancestors of the goblins.
This made Sikong Ya sigh in his heart, people of this race also looked very handsome and beautiful women. And the figure is also very tall, according to Sikong Ya's estimates, the average height of men is more than 1.85 meters, and women are almost all over 1.7 meters. Most of their complexions are ruddy and fair, and occasionally a few of them are all healthy wheat. If you think about the green-skinned goblins with an average height of 1.4 meters, you can imagine how brutally other races committed genocide against them back then.
However, when he thought of the goblin Sikong Cliff, he remembered that the goblin blacksmith Hukamm, who entered with him, and his pets An An and Bo Erba are not around now.
"Are you...... Luffy-sama? A tall and handsome goblin ancestor walked to Sikong Ya's side and asked quietly.
Sikong Ya carefully looked at the goblin ancestor in front of him, his appearance and height seemed to be no different from the other goblin ancestors walking on the road. But this guy has a huge hammer stuck in his back very incongruously, you must know that this guy is wearing a set of puffy sleeves like a noble son.
"Hukamm......" Sikong Ya looked at this funny guy with a black line.
"Luffy-sama, this is a trial set by the ancestors, this week is not all an illusion, and we have become the appearance of the ancestors." It seems that Hucamum also got some kind of hint, so it is clear that everything around him is an illusion.
"We?" At this time, Sikong Cliff realized that he had also become the appearance of the goblin ancestor, and his body was no longer the jelly-like semi-gelatinous appearance of the original.
"So you know you have to go there to start the trial? And did you see An An and Bo Bo Erba? Sikong Ya calmed down a little, and then began to look for clues to the mission and An An's whereabouts with Hukamu.
Sikong Ya guessed that if An An and Bo Erba also entered this space together, they should no longer be the same as before. It's just that at present, there are tens of thousands of people in this White Rock City, not to mention that there are tens of thousands of people, and looking for two people is really like looking for a needle in a haystack. Therefore, Sikong Cliff and Hukamum had no choice but to look for clues to the trial mission first.
According to Sikong Cliff's idea, since it is a blacksmith advanced quest, the relevant location is usually a blacksmith shop or a weapon shop. But Sikong Ya and Hukamum have run the entire city gate area inside and out two or three times, and now Sikong Ya knows very well that there are five more blacksmith shops and two weapons shops in the city gate area, and there is also a shop that sells adventure supplies and sells weapons. However, Sikong Ya and Hucam tried various methods, but they were never able to trigger further quests.
Finally, after Sikong Cliff and Hukamum looked around the city gate area again, the two of them completely lost all their strength, and had to sit on the edge of the city gate very without an image.
"That...... Excuse me...... Are you the master? A soft and weak girl's voice rang in Sikong Ya's ears.
When Sikong Ya turned his head to look, he saw an eleven or twelve-year-old orc girl, blinking at himself and Hukamm, with two big watery eyes.
"An An?" Sikong Ya looked surprised and asked tentatively.
"Hmmm! Master, An An has finally found you! Little Lori has already thrown herself into Sikong Ya's arms with tears in her eyes.
"An An, did you find any clues related to the mission?" Although Sikong Cliff didn't hold out any hope, he still tried to ask.
"No, after An An came in, I didn't see the master or Bo Erba, so I'm looking for you." An An shook her big ears and tilted her head in reply.
"Okay, let's get some rest." Sikong Ya didn't care about being disappointed, now he just wanted to rest.
The gate area is so large that it takes about an hour to run a lap. Sikong Ya and Hucam had been wandering around here for three or four hours before, and the two of them had done a lot of things to help the shops along the street in order to find clues to the mission. Moving carts, sorting goods, and even sweeping the streets, in short, they have all the help they need wherever they have a vision.
