Chapter 652: City of Chaos (18)
I was surprised by the request of the trustee, but I understood his thoughts.
A person who has been away from his homeland for more than ten years, whether he recognizes the current situation from the bottom of his heart or not, will inevitably miss his hometown.
It's like Leo, who occasionally complains about how bad the earth is, but still wants to go back.
Leo said, "Huh? Is this an essay test? Why not write a lyrical essay that inspires the homesickness of the old-timers? β
"I don't know what the city of Animo looked like ten years ago, but all I saw was the temple, the square, the orc avenue, the royal palace and the gladiatorial arena, oh yes, the prison and the hill outside to the west of the city, the resort manor and a small town to the east of the city, and a small river that only appeared during the rainy season......"
"River of Snake Algae!" The trustee said, "That river is called the River of Snake Algae!" As soon as it rains, the algae in it will revive, attracting many snakes every year, and the weasel and eagle people go to catch these snakes for food or medicine. β
"Brings back memories ......," Leo said.
I said, "It's a pity, in the beast tide after the Youth Conference, this river was destroyed, and the day before I saw a monster python in the water, the next day, the river embankment has disappeared, and it is estimated that it was made by an intermediate monster." β
The security trustee suddenly looked disappointed: "Beast tide...... The four high-level demonic beasts are dispatched together, and they really haven't appeared for decades......"
"I've heard that the wolf clan is spreading around, and it was me and another traitor who brought in the beast tide, didn't I?" I say.
"We have information on this," said the Administrator, "the wolf clan did it, and they're still the same." β
I laughed a little: "If your intelligence is useful, I won't be wronged." β
"Don't always say yours yours, now, too, you will join us." β
I was a little surprised and said, "Is it that simple?" I don't think I passed your test yet, right? β
"If you want to join the Mage Tower, you can do it anytime!" The trustee looked at me seriously, "However, now I want to talk about another thing, put aside the old things, let me ask you, you said that you want to learn from one of the three sages, right?" β
"Three sages?" I was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are you the owners of the three towers?" β
The trustee nodded: "That's them!" To outsiders, they are the owners of the tower, but inside Santas, they are the three sages. β
Leo said, "What about the sages, is this their self-appointed?" β
I said, "Does it make a difference?" β
The trustee said, "The next content was originally something you could only know after joining the Mage Tower for a while, and now, we have decided to let you make a choice. β
I wondered even more: "Why?" β
The trustee said, "Because your performance is so good. Whether it is strength or mentality, you are very suitable! β
I could see that when he said this, his expression was a little relieved and a little regretful.
This is even more bizarre.
If he thinks I'm good, he shouldn't feel sorry.
"Come with me," said the Administrator suddenly, "I'll show you inside Santas!" β
My heart moved, and I nodded and said, "Okay!" β
Before I could finish speaking, the blue-white firelight suddenly did not expand, and I realized that we were actually in a small room.
There was nothing in the room except the table in front of me and the torches on the wall, and the floor, walls, and ceiling were all stone, as if they had been carved out of the boulder.
"Alpha, transfer to the inner door." The trustee said.
"It's been transferred!" Taling said.
Then the trustee turned and walked to the opposite wall, and the wooden staff in his hand was pointed on it, drawing the shape of a door frame.
Then the "door" opened.
The light from behind the door came in and was dazzling and bright.
I watched with novelty, and the trustee pushed open the door and took the lead in stepping over, saying, "Come on! β
"Whew!" Leo whistled, "Welcome to Hogwarts, ah no, Santas!" β
I followed, through the door.
The light outside is actually not very dazzling, but the room is not bright enough to give people such an illusion.
After adjusting to the light, I realized that there was an endless hillside in front of me.
The hillside is green with green grass and flowers, and there are no tall trees.
When I turned around, I was shocked!
I was standing in front of a log cabin at the bottom of the hillside.
It's strange that it's a log cabin, but it's actually stone, but that's not what scared me.
The real reason is - there is nothing behind the cabin!
There really is nothing.
The hut was built on the edge of the cliff, but below the cliff, there was a void.
It's like Leo's soul space!
Behind his back, the trustee said: "A lot of people are looking at the top of the hill for the first time, and only you are paying attention to the back. β
I walked to the edge of the "cliff" and looked at the endless void below.
The entire hillside is actually a huge island floating in the air.
However, I soon realized the difference between this and the soul space.
There is the sky, there are clouds, there is sunlight, and there is a difference between up and down, left and right.
"Subspace? Half-plane? Well, it's just a stopover. Leo said, "Interesting......
I asked the trustee, "What happens if you fall?" β
"It's not going to happen, in fact, except for the floating islands under our feet, everything is an illusion, and even if you fall, you will return to the same place." β
Without hesitation, I stepped beyond the cliff.
Then, I only felt a flower in front of me, and the flowers and green grass on the hillside came into view again.
I looked back and saw a cliff behind me.
"It's all stickers!" Leo was a little excited, "No, it's Mario, the water pipe!" β
I was even more surprised, and the security trustee was also a little surprised: "You are the first person who dares to step out directly, it seems that you are really suitable to join us!" β
"It's just recklessness, isn't it?" I say.
"No, it's curiosity and courage!" An trustee also showed a look of appreciation on his face.
Leo said, "Look, do as I say, you can get extra points!" β
I said, "You must have done it!" β
Leo said, "Of course, but not in your world, but on Earth. β
"Please, there are still some things to be determined next, and when you officially join, everything here will be open to you, and then you can explore the mysteries of this place to your heart's content, and of course, you will quickly lose your curiosity." β
I said, "I can't wait to find out the secrets of this place right now, lose my curiosity or something, I haven't thought about it yet." β
We walked uphill to a flat rocky square at the top of the slope, and I counted more than five hundred steps from the cabin.
This square was almost the size of the guardian warrior camp of the Thunder City Temple, except for the stone slab floor, there were only a few rudimentary stone door frames around it.
Behind these doors is the true face of the Mage Tower, which is why Leo said that this is a transit station.
Sure enough, the trustee tapped on one of the doors, and a faint light came from the door, and the door opened a crack, and he said, "Actually, you should be welcomed after passing through this door!" β
With that, he walked in.
I followed, and before I could see what was in front of me, he said, "Welcome to the real Santas!" β
"Oh, hehe, that's what it sounds like!" Leo said, "Finally let me see a little bit of the grandeur of the other world!" β
And I, again, was shocked.
In front of me, there was a bustling market.
It is said that it is a bazaar, but it is not very accurate.
In front of me is a bustling and busy street, with an endless stream of cars, small buildings on both sides, and noisy shops, which is no worse than the trading block outside.
Moreover, the people here are more, well, more abundant than outside......
Rich is the most appropriate word I can find.
Even Leo couldn't help but sigh: "Fantastic Beasts? Oh no, no, it should be, an alien creature! β
As soon as he said that, I reacted immediately.
These strangely shaped creatures are supposed to be the creatures of the plane that Johnny is talking about.
In addition to our human world, which is the main plane, and the heavenly god realm, as well as the so-called underworld demon abyss and other places, there are countless alien planes, and many of the creatures in them appear in legends and myths.
My eyes were so dizzy that I didn't bother to pay attention to the welcome of the trustees.
I saw a translucent creature in the fountain in the center of the street, looking like a flower and with antennae, spewing countless water sprays from the top of its head, and the water splashes accurately landed on the edge of the pool, but the edge was not splashed at all, and I felt the water element on its body to the extreme, and probably guessed that this was the water element creature.
Similarly, in a blacksmith shop down the street, a creature wallowing in molten iron - this is supposed to be a fire elemental.
There was also the wind elemental floating in mid-air, like a strong warrior without a lower body, holding a blanket in his hand, and on the stall sat a goblin in a robe, flying away from the roof of the building......
There is also a translucent ice element that sells drinks on the street, and the figure is like a female elf, and when she puts the cup to her mouth and blows on it before handing it to the customer, a white mist rises on the glass......
As for the earth element, the thunder element, and the like, I don't see it.
But there are many more creatures that attract me,
For example, on the other side of the street, half of the street is covered by a large tree. In the middle and upper part of the trunk of this big tree, there is an old face, and the branches on both sides are still dancing slowly like arms.
Needless to say, the streets are populated by elves, but there are also humans and orcs, and goblins are rareβprobably too short for me to notice.
In addition to these, there are many more creatures that are more seriously surprised.
Like, real demons! I want to talk about "Memoirs of the Bull Head" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
