The Children of the Night were surprised to look at the unrecognizable gates, and they didn't expect me to blow them down in such a violent way.

Gibejar asked curiously, "Did your big bug shoot a magic beam just now?"

It's terrifying! ”

I shook my head: "That's not a magic beam but a pure high-temperature beam, basically the equivalent of a laser. This city has a magic protection system, and as you can see, the high-level dark magic released by Ling is blocked, and the defense ability of this thing can be imagined. But did you see the shield activate when the tank fired the beam just now? ”

"yes, why didn't the shield activate just now?"

"It's simple, because that shield doesn't react to light. The launcher on the back of the tank can use three different attacks, the first of which is what you just saw, which is basically a laser. This beam is relatively weak, but the destructive power is concentrated. ”

Lycard looked at the city gate in surprise: "Is this still called a small power?" ”

"I mean, that's small in comparison. The other two are more powerful than this, and Santa Mafyana is starting to trouble me again. "But how are we going to get in now? The city gates have become lava pits, and it will take at least ten hours to completely cool down. ”

With my right hand outstretched, a white point of light flew out of the ice crystals on my right arm. After the light came out, it quickly transformed into a beautiful frost star, although it looked like a small white star, but the cold air could be felt by everyone. After the Ice Queen upgraded, the number shrunk to the current Frost Star, and there is only one left, but the quality has made a qualitative leap.

"Master." Frost Star can still speak despite not taking on the form of a beautiful woman.

I pointed down the gate hole. "Help cool it down, be careful not to freeze it for me, just drop below 40 degrees."

"It's the landlord."

The white frost star just flew into the gate and circled around and flew back, the melted rock and the hinge solid. The temperature was not hot, but it was a little cool. When I was done, the Frost Star flew back into the ice crystals in my hand.

"Alright, let's go in and have a look."

Santa Mafyana was the first to go inside, only to cry out again. "Are you really from the truth? How is this going to happen? ”

When I looked, it turned out that the city gate had turned into a railing. The tank's lasers were so concentrated that they just burned a large hole in the iron door. The half-melted molten iron on the top of the iron gate begins to drip down after being burned through in the middle, which looks like ice cream melted in summer. However, the Frost Star cooled down too suddenly, and the metal solution that fell to the ground was solidified in mid-air, resulting in the formation of falling metal rods. Looks like a fence.

The berserker Licard, who likes to do things as much as I do, helped me out and said, "This iron rod is nothing. It took a little effort to knock and it broke. Santa Mafjana, don't keep bothering the purple sun, I didn't speak, just walked over and drew a circle along the edge of the hole in the iron door with eternity, and the solidified metal rods fell one by one as if they were glued on. "It's not a small nuisance."

Gibejar interrupted, "Let's go in and have a look." ”

I didn't want to worry about Santa Mafyana, so I followed Gibejar in.

This city is not the same as the usual city, and usually there should be an avenue behind the city gate. And the road should lead all the way to the center of the city. Behind the gates of Isenger is a main road along the central axis of Isengard, as is the case in other system cities. But this city doesn't go that way. Behind the first wall is a 150-meter-wide area, followed by the second wall. The 150-metre-wide area between the two walls is dotted with small two-storey buildings made of stone. The specifications of these small buildings are all identical. All the houses are square, and the families are arranged quite neatly.

There is no corresponding gate at the corresponding position of the second gate behind the first wall, and we looked along the root of the wall to both sides, and the results show that there is no gate in the whole direction, which means that it is impossible to enter the inner city in this direction. The beam fired by the tank just now passed through the city gate and burned down several houses here, and some places are still on fire, but because all the houses are separated, there is no fire with neighbors.

The 150-meter-wide area is lined with four rows of houses in parallel, with the houses on both sides and the city walls remaining 7 meters wide. The neat houses are separated by straight roads, but because the houses take up a lot of space, the roads are not very wide.

The houses here are all made of rock, and there are caulking materials between the rocks, so it is clear that the construction skills are not low. It is rare to find such a level of architecture in South and Central America. Although the ground under our feet was still dirt, unlike the soft soil outside, the ground here was obviously rammed earth, and it was quite solid to step on.

The house facing the city gate had collapsed, so we had to go into the house next to it to check. The houses here have no door panels, and there are only rag curtains at the door frames. I tried to lift the curtain with my hand, but the curtain suddenly fell apart like sand. Good guy, this curtain can't be a thousand-year-old antique, right?

The furnishings in the room are simple, with a few chairs by the door and a long strip of wooden-framed furniture on the opposite side that looks like a counter. There was a row of wooden shelves on the wall that I couldn't figure out what they were used for, and it felt a bit like the shelves of a small store. There is a staircase on the side of the counter, and it is estimated that the second floor is a family room, otherwise the staircase would not be so narrow.

Santa Mafjana walked towards the stairs after a few words, and when I saw it, I deliberately turned my back to her. Sure enough, as soon as I turned around, I heard an ouch scream. You want to. The curtains have turned to sand, and the things here must be antique-level items that are old. No matter how good the quality was, the wooden staircase was no better than this stone house. As long as this kind of stone house is built solidly and does not encounter strong winds and earthquakes, it is generally not a problem to support it for a thousand or eight hundred years, but the stairs are made of wood, and that thing can't withstand it for so long. Santa Mafyana rushed to the second floor recklessly, clearly looking for a fall.

I walked straight out of the room, ignoring the Santa Mafyana inside. The Children of the Night also came out with me. "Ziri, do you see it?"

The Son of the Night has a very good eyesight, and his ability to communicate with equipment is actually due to his observation skills. The problem here came out as soon as he saw it.

I nodded in understanding. "The houses and walls here are the product of two completely different technologies, and the defense systems seem to have been added later, and are obviously much more skilled than the people who built the houses."

The Children of the Night nodded: "The construction technology of these houses is obviously not the builder's own, and the design of the construction is quite advanced, but it can be seen that the builder's level is not good, and it is a bit nondescript."

The walls are significantly more technical than the houses, but they are still at a backward technical level. However, the technical level of those automatic defense systems has really reached a level that is even more advanced than that of our Isinger. ”

"Then why do you think this is the case here?"

The Child of the Night shook his head, "I don't understand. ”

I turned my head to look at Ling and Yeyue standing next to me. "What about the two of you?"

Yeyue shook her head, she couldn't understand this thing. After all, Ling has obtained a real physical body, and there are some modern basic knowledge, and she is much smarter than these demon pets who have never been out of games. "I think there could be two."

The Child of the Night didn't expect Ling to have an idea, and immediately asked, "What is the reason?" ”

"First of all, the builders of the city used this as a temporary base, so they simply built the walls out of stone and added those defensive facilities, and as for these small houses, I think they moved in later. Second, it is possible that the people living in these small houses were informed by someone else with advanced knowledge of magic. These people with strong magical knowledge let these low-level backward peoples help them build cities, and they themselves are only responsible for building defense equipment that those low-level races can't build, so the technical level of the two is so different. I asked Ling, "Which do you think is more likely?" ”

"The second."

"Why?" The Children of the Night asked.

Ling explained: "The defense equipment on the periphery of the city will still work until we arrive, which means that it is very difficult to get close. If we go by the first possibility, it is difficult to understand how these people can get in. Also, don't you think it's like a buffer zone? If these people came later, why don't they just live in the inner city of the city, which doesn't seem to be a suitable place to live? ”

The Child of the Night sighed: "Purple Sun, your demon pet is really getting smarter and smarter, if the system continues to upgrade like this, we players will simply let NPCs lead it in the future, and the AI is higher than that of humans!" ”

I smiled and didn't explain. Turning to Scott, he said, "Let the Tyrannosaurus knight make a detour to both sides of the city wall in two ways, carefully search this gap, and come back to report after finding the gate of the second city wall." By the way, search for any living creatures here, such a large city shouldn't be empty. ”
