Chapter Seventy-Four: The Surprise

This...... What is this?

The fantasy went all the way, but ...... When I actually arrived in the labyrinth, I was completely stunned by what I saw...... Is this the maze I've been fantasizing about?

Dirty streets, dilapidated wooden houses, as if they were going to collapse at any moment, said to be a city, but not even a city wall, just a circle of half-rotten wooden stakes built around the houses!

According to the judgment of ordinary people, a city inhabited by 100,000 people cannot be small, right? But the truth seems to be different from what I thought, the dilapidated small city is located at the foot of the Psychedelic Mountain, and almost all the territory of the Lost City can be seen at a glance!

The psychedelic mountain is very high, but it is not steep, it is not so much a mountain, but a large hill, only about a thousand meters above the ground, it suddenly begins to steepen, rising upright, looking quite imposing.

The maze is built along the foot of the mountain, and under the maze, it is actually the mountain of the psychedelic mountain, but it is ...... Since it is located at the foot of the mountain, the slope is very gentle, almost close to the plane!

Beyond the labyrinth, there is Gollum...... The misty swamp with the steaming water is actually a large swampy sea, surrounded by a mountain island!

Strictly speaking, this is only the base of the Psychedelic Mountain, and only the part that is about a kilometer above the ground and suddenly begins to steepen is the real Psychedelic Mountain, and it is also a symbol of the Lost City!

Under the leadership of Situka, I looked at the dilapidated houses on both sides of the street in disbelief, and walked towards the depths of the labyrinth, the more I looked, the cooler my heart became, this place is so different from what I imagined, it is even the most backward countryside in China, or the mountain village!

However, think about it, it is located in the middle of a swamp with thousands of kilometers of ridges, the traffic is very inconvenient, and there are no famous local products, if it is very prosperous and developed here, it is strange, now it seems that I am too taken for granted along the way, too naïve!

After seeing the dream city, I unconsciously imagined the maze according to the specifications of the dream city, according to my estimate, even if it is not as good as the dream city, but it can't be too bad! But now I finally understand that this is a remote area, the traffic is not only inconvenient, but also impassable, the most backward mountain village!

As we went deeper, groups of men, women and children came out of the low thatched huts on both sides of the street, all looking at us with smiles, waving their hands, and saying hello!

"Uncle Stuka, did you give the little girl a head rope when you went to the city this time?

However, without waiting for Stuka to answer, on the other side, a strong man with a big beard laughed and said, "Stuka, is the transaction going well this time?"

With the bearded man's words, everyone greeted each other, and Stuka replied one by one, although he tried to maintain a flat expression, but from his eyes, I could still tell that he was secretly proud!

Moreover, the eyes of other people looking at Situka are also mixed with complex expressions such as admiration, envy, and respect, judging from everyone's demeanor, I can easily judge that being able to freely shuttle through the misty swamp, get out of the maze, and do business with the humans outside is already a great ability in the minds of these people in front of them!

Wretched!

It's really pitiful, these people, reminds me of the children in the mountains I saw when I was on the earth before, and saw their expectant eyes eager to get out of the mountains, it's just so simple, it's a common thing for ordinary people, but it's already a thing that is difficult for people in the lost city to dream!

Looking at the pair of eager eyes in front of me, and then looking back at the misty swamp filled with mist, I couldn't help but sigh deeply, this is an insurmountable moat, it is this swamp that separates the passage between the maze and the outside world......! Even I can't do anything!

At this moment, I can't help but start thinking about whether to become the lord of the Lost City, if the Lost City is an ordinary small city, then I have every confidence to carry it forward, but ...... The Lost City is simply a poor and backward mountain city, and no matter how much I think about it, there is no way to develop it!

Now, I can probably understand why the previous city lord left here to find the new city lord, facing such a big mess, the responsibility is too great, even if it is a little right, but what is the use?

In thought, we came to the city lord's mansion in the lost city, the so-called city lord's mansion, in fact, is just a relatively large wooden house, like other buildings, it has a long history, although the surrounding is quite clean, but the wood used to build the wooden house has begun to rot, after all, ...... The water here is so strong that it's hard not to rot!

With a sigh, I remembered the first task of coming here, and turned to Situka and said, "Okay, I already know the location of the City Lord's Mansion, now you take me to find the person who can cure Xiaoqiang!"

Listening to my words, Situka nodded, and then continued to walk towards the top of the mountain with me, and as he walked, Situka said in a low voice: "At present, the best treatment of phantom beasts in the Lost City is the person I want to take you to meet, this person is one of the four elders of the Lost City, the Water Phantom Beast Master - Dia!"

Elders?

Listening to Situka's words, my heart couldn't help but move secretly, I knew very well that for the people of the lost city, these four elders were very important, they were the only people who could veto the city lord's decision, or even remove the city lord, they were the most respected, elected representatives by all the city people!

While thinking about it, we came to a small wooden house that was unusually clean, unusually tidy, and the environment was also unusually beautiful, looking at the flowers blooming in the garden in front of the house, I couldn't help but secretly guess, could it be ...... Is this Dia a woman not?

Crunch......

Just as I was guessing, there was a soft sound, and the door of the cabin was pushed open, and the next moment...... A slender and graceful woman dressed in aqua blue walked out of the wooden house with a graceful posture!

I couldn't see her face clearly because of the pale blue veil on her face, but ...... Just from her posture and temperament, you can judge that this must be a big beauty, a beautiful beauty that is not like words! Especially with her appearance, the fragrant smell that secretly floats makes me affirm this!

Glancing blankly at the tall woman, I whispered, "Who is this? Is she the daughter of the elders of Dia?"

Hearing my words, Situka couldn't help but show a wry smile, and said in a low voice: "Don't guess, this is Elder Dia, she has never been married, where is the daughter, you are so disrespectful to the elder! If the people of the city know about it, even if you are the city lord, you will be blamed by everyone!"

Scratching my head in embarrassment, I knew that I was too reckless, if I, the future city lord, would be the spiritual leader of the city's people, then these four elders would be the moral leaders of the city's people, a bit similar to the heads of families in China's feudal period, if anyone is morally corrupt, there is no need for the government to manage it, and these parents have the right to deal with it!

However, now, I don't have anything to worry about, after seeing the actual situation of the lost city, my mood of suffering from gains and losses is gone, if you don't let me be the lord of the city, I can't be happy, I'm now worried about taking over the lost city, such a big mess, even if I exhaust my efforts, I'm afraid I won't be able to play a flower.

While thinking about it, Situka took a few steps forward, bowed his head respectfully, and said respectfully: "Elder Dia, I went out this time and met the new city lord chosen by the old city lord, and now I have brought him. ”
