Chapter 58: A Tale of Two Cities

Dragon City, located directly east of the Dusk Plane, is one of the only three remaining fortresses in the entire plane battlefield, and it is also the exclusive fortress of the Faeron plane. The whole city, like a giant dragon crawling on the ground, exudes an atmosphere in its majesty, and the architectural style is dominated by giant stones and stone pillars, and even the ordinary streets are much wider than ordinary cities.

Several of the lowest-level guards at the gate of the city, all of whom were above level 500, saw that Lin Yang and his party were humans, so they didn't speak, and let them go directly.

The three girls walked down the street, deeply shocked by the majestic buildings around them, but one thing made them wonder very much, such a huge city, the streets were actually empty, few pedestrians were seen, and most of the shops around were closed, even if they could see a store that was opening, there were not many things inside, and the business was very light.

And the passers-by I saw occasionally all looked hurried, their faces were stiff, and they had their own things.

In this regard, Lin Yang shook his head and smiled, and made the simplest explanation, the plane battlefield, the weakest creatures are all at level 500, the farther away from the fortress, the more dangerous and inexplicable, most of the people who can mix in this place are not fuel-efficient lamps, maybe you can see an inconspicuous guy on the street casually, it is the holy domain, the legendary level, so the population is not large, it is reasonable.

"Where are we going now?" Lily blurted out.

"City Center."

Lin Yang stretched out his hand and pointed, a few people looked forward, the terrain of the entire Dragon City is divided into three parts: Xiacheng District, Zhongcheng District, and Shangcheng District, the higher the terrain is towards the center, and in this position, you can see a towering platform in the center of the city from afar.

……

A moment later, the four of them came to the huge platform in the center of Dragon City.

The diameter of the platform is about one thousand meters, standing on the edge, looking down, overlooking the entire Dragon City, the remnant sun is like blood, the scenery is quite magnificent, and several girls are deeply attracted and shocked again.

The entire platform was empty, only in the core area, there was a giant magic portal ten meters high, and light blue magic fluctuations continued to ripple from the portal. Several guards were standing guard in front of the portal, expressionless.

"Such a huge dimensional passage!" Anna immediately recognized that this was a giant plane passage, not an ordinary portal, and said in surprise: "How much energy does it take to open this!" ”

"This is a permanent plane passage." Lin Yang touched his nose and explained again.

Plane Tunnels, as the name suggests, can create bridges between two different planes, some close to each other, others very far away, and with it requires different amounts of energy.

In addition, the general plane channel is single-phase transmission, that is, it needs to consume a certain amount of energy, and it will be randomly transmitted to any point in the destination plane, which is not fixed, and if you want to go back or leave, you must also find another plane channel.

The permanent plane channel, on the other hand, is different from the ordinary plane channel, which is equivalent to building a stable bridge between the two planes, which can realize the biphasic transmission at a fixed location between the two planes, and consumes relatively little energy and can be continuously opened.

"I see......" several people nodded.

At this time, there was a strong fluctuation in the passage of the giant plane, and several people dressed as mages or warriors walked out of it, the oldest was already gray-haired, and the youngest was less than twenty years old.

"How's it going?" One of the middle-aged mage-looking men asked.

"It's not the same as it used to be." The other warrior shook his head and replied, "We have fought with the Eternal Plane and the Gerthas Demon Clan for thousands of years, and now we have already entered a period of stability, and the three sides are evenly matched, and it is unlikely that we will have any breakthroughs in a short period of time. ”

"There's no way around it, after all, the other two parties are also the main plane, and if they want to swallow the main plane, no matter how powerful the Holy Federation is, they don't have the ability to do so."

A thief-eyed man laughed and said: "I hope to keep fighting like this, for the weak the plane battlefield is a Jedi, but for the strong it is a paradise, this time, if I don't make a few sacrifices, I'm embarrassed to go back!" ”

"Go and go, you will know the Dao sacrifice, but you are also a person born in the Holy Federation."

"Yes, be careful of capsizing in the gutter, and the last one will die here."

A few people talked and laughed for a while, and slowly walked off the platform.

Huo'er suddenly became interested and asked, "What is a sacrifice?" ”

"A good thing that money can't buy." With a sneer, this time Lin Yang was not ready to explain, and walked straight towards the giant plane passage.

"Ten thousand gold coins per person." A guard glanced at Lin Yang and his party with a cold face, a little surprised by their general level of one or two hundred, and said slowly.

Lin Yang smiled and obediently took out 40,000 gold coins, in the past, a plane teleportation would consume hundreds of thousands, or even millions of equivalent divine blood, but this time only 10,000 per person was charged, which was indeed affordable. However, the guard didn't think so, he was obviously stunned, he didn't expect the other party to be so refreshing, according to the reaction in the past few months, most people still think that 10,000 gold coins a person is a bit expensive.

"Let's go." After straightening his clothes, Lin Yang turned around and smiled: "The opposite side of this door is a paradise, you must be mentally prepared." ”

"I don't believe you!" Huo'er suddenly felt like he had been tricked again, and waved his Xiaoxiu fist and said, "At the beginning, I said that the Dusk Plane was a good place, but now?" It's so boring, it's not being hunted down along the way, it's still being hunted down! And it's the same scenery everywhere, and the damn sunset never sets! ”

"Little sister......" the guard laughed, Huo'er was the only one he couldn't see through the exact level: "He really didn't lie to you this time, the other side of this door is indeed a paradise." ”

"Hmph, then I'll trust you again!" Stomping his feet, Huo'er said angrily: "Lin Yang, if you dare to lie to me again, I won't go with you!" ”

"......" Lin Yang couldn't help but laugh.

……

No one can be sure when the Temple Mount was formed.

But one thing is undeniable, the Temple Mountain is definitely the center of the Faeron Continent, like a bright moon in the stars, shining the world.

Long before the establishment of the Holy Federation, in the ancient barbarian era, some tribes and barbarians went deep into the core area of the Faeron Continent and discovered the Temple Mount for the first time, and they were shocked. The whole mountain is 10,000 meters high, towering majestically on the endless plain, and halfway up the mountain is shrouded in a circle of floating clouds, as if covering the mountain with a hazy and mysterious veil.

There is a wide and atmospheric "holy road", from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, the leaders of the barbarian tribes, along the holy road all the way to the top of the mountain, and then found the temple of time Naro, the god of time.

The temple has long been dilapidated, and the building is empty, but the status of the Temple Mount as the center of the Faren continent has been established since then, and the barbarians who first arrived here have also established a huge "holy city" at the foot of the mountain, and the Temple Mount has become more and more prosperous, gradually evolving into a pilgrimage center for the entire Faren continent, and it is also the center of war.

It was not until the Divine Federation was officially established after endless years, and the first emperor firmly consolidated the status of the "First Empire" of the Faeron plane with an iron fist, and the Temple Mount ushered in a long period of peace.

Countless theologians and historians have carefully studied this mountain, and finally came to a surprisingly unified conclusion that the Temple Mountain was the place where the god of time, Naro, was enshrined as a god, and the Temple of Time was also a ladder for the goddess to go from the mortal world to the kingdom of God. What kind of god is Naro? There is almost no record of her life and deeds, as early as the ancient barbarian era, this strange woman has been canonized as a god, and many people seriously suspect that she is almost the first person to be canonized as a god in the Faren Continent. Now that millions of years have passed, the Temple of Time is still alive, and it can be speculated that Nalu will only become stronger and stronger, not weaker and weaker, and some people even boldly assert that above the Heavenly God Kingdom, Naru has already become a well-deserved "God King" among the gods of Faeron.

With the continuous advancement of history, the decline of the royal family of the Holy Federation, the rise of the sixteen wealthy families, the discovery of the dusk plane, and the wave of power in the long river of history, the Holy City, but it has always been unaffected, and it is becoming more and more prosperous.

Nestled at the foot of the Temple Mount, this city has been known in history by many names, such as the City of Legends, the City of Angels, the City of God, the Heavens of the Lower Heavens, the City of Glory, and so on, but the most common name is the Holy City.

How big is the Holy City? To use an exact analogy, if the Temple Mount is a doorknob, then the Holy City is the whole door.

……

The heart of the Holy City, the Sacred Square.

Coming out of the dimensional passage, the three girls were completely stunned by the bustling and magnificent Holy City. After all, the three girls haven't seen much of the world after all, and the feeling at this moment is as if Grandma Liu has entered the Grand View Garden, and everything around her is full of novelty and excitement.

At this moment, Lin Yang is the most bitter one, he can't scream, he can't pull it, he can only follow them, beware of anyone getting lost, or being abducted by bad people or something.

The three of them were attracted by the Temple Mount at the same time, and they chatted while strolling, and the Holy Square was not far from the Temple Mount, and soon came to the foot of the mountain.

In front of you, there is a flat and wide "holy road", leading to the top of the mountain, the road surface is smooth as a mirror, faintly shining with holy white brilliance.

The strange thing is that no one walked on this holy road, and the pedestrians who passed by around them also avoided it from afar.

"I want to go up and have a look." Huo'er took a step forward.

"Don't go up!" Lin Yang was in a hurry, dragged the fire back, and scolded.

"Why don't you let you go up?" Huo'er said stubbornly, and was about to walk forward: "I want to go up!" ”

"It's no longer a holy road!" Lin Yang finally spoke: "Since the establishment of the Holy Federation, this road has become an out-and-out road of no return, it is completely a bloody road, I don't know how many people in the road tried to go up, and finally hated the spot!" ”

Lily was shocked in her heart, the holy road was white and pure, and she really couldn't see anything unusual, and couldn't help asking, "What's going on?" ”

"Go away! Get out of here! ”

Suddenly, in the crowd behind him, there was an angry shout, and a strong man like a bull, carrying a huge box, pushed through the crowd, stepped on the holy road step by step with solid steps. From the aura emanating from his body, it could be seen that the level was definitely not lower than the level of the Holy Domain.

I don't know when it happened, many people of unknown origin appeared from all directions, and they gathered to watch.

"Another one who doesn't take it personally." There were people around who sighed.

"It's really looking for death."

"Although our family's status in the Holy City is not as good as that of the sixteen wealthy families, its strength is definitely ranked in the top 100, half a month ago, several Sacred Domain elders in the clan escorted it, and there were legendary powerhouses in the secret, just half of the way, it was not beaten down, although the sacrifice was robbed, there were few casualties." A rather arrogant young man sighed and sneered: "This man has the courage, but if he is too confident, he will become proud, and it seems that he is going to put his life on the holy road today." ”

Sure enough, before the big man walked out of a hundred meters, in the small woods and stone forests on both sides of the holy road, more than a dozen masters rushed out, and under the siege of the group, the big man was finally defeated, blood splashed on the spot, screamed, and fell.

And the big box he was carrying burst open, scattering bright light from it, and all the high-end equipment, various ores, materials, treasures, and scrolls were coaxed away by the interceptors.

The whole incident lasted less than three minutes from beginning to end, and the crowd of onlookers at the foot of the mountain also sighed and left.

"You see it all, right?" Lin Yang said: "This is the holy road now, are you still ready to go up?" ”

"I still don't get it." Huo'er shouted: "Those people who suddenly rushed out, why did they want to rob that big man's things? Is there no royal law in the Holy City? ”

"Of course, there is a royal law, but it is limited to the Holy City, not this holy road." Lin Yang explained: "That barbarian bull big man, the box is full of sacrifices, and the god of time, Nalu, is the only sacrificial god in the Faeron Continent, so that big man wants to go to the temple to sacrifice in exchange for various rewards, but unfortunately he was killed before he could go far." ”

Offering sacrifices to the gods in exchange for remuneration is also a privilege unique to various main planes, while the secondary and half-planes do not see this situation at all, in the final analysis, it is because the gods of the secondary planes are not strong enough, and the half-planes cannot exist at all.

"Okay, then don't go up." Huo'er stuck out her tongue and said, "Let's go, go to other places, Lin Yang, aren't you very familiar with this place?" What else is there to do in the Holy City? ”

"Wait." As if she had noticed something, Lily looked up at the puffy clouds halfway up the mountain, and said, "What are those things that shine in the clouds?" ”

Several girls looked up one after another, and they also saw a strange sight.

Sixteen gigantic names shimmering with colorful light in the clouds, rising and falling, slowly rotating around the entire Temple Mount.

Morgan, Wellington, Arthur, DuPont, Rockefeller......

This is the family name of the sixteen wealthy families, and the sixteen golden names are like emperors who reign over the world and glorify the world.

In the case of the Morgan family, underneath the huge colorful glass-like name is a family crest with a spider pattern, representing their family's feared Spider Knight. And under the family emblem, there is a line of small print, which is the declaration of the Morgan family: unity is strength!

Seeing this, the three girls already understood a lot, and they didn't need Lin Yang to explain anything.

What is surprising is that the once powerful Holy Federation royal family, who is also the supreme ruler of the Holy City, did not appear in these sixteen golden names. There are often people in the outside world who speculate that the federal royal family has fallen to this point now? Or are these people with the blood of the first emperor just hiberning in the dark, low-key to strengthen themselves, in order to one day be able to compete with the sixteen giants?

"Now that I have the seeds of war and destruction, everything is ready, and it is only a matter of time before I become stronger." Glancing at the sixteen names in the clouds, Lin Yang didn't look any more, and secretly swore in his heart: "One day, I will engrave my name on the floating clouds of the Temple Mountain!" ”
