323 Duke, when you say this, Silver City really looks like a dark elf
Looking down on the White Pagoda from the sky, I just feel beautiful, and when I get closer, I feel its grandeur. Countless towers converged into a forest, and even Li Qi, who was accustomed to all kinds of magic in the High Demon World, was shocked by such a visual impact.
The body of the tower is a cylindrical structure from thick to thin, painted with a veritable pearl white paint, and the shape of the top of the tower is decorated in different details, forming a white tower with a low outer and a high inside, even the shortest is hundreds of meters high, and the skyscrapers of the earth world are far behind.
The entire Silver City was made up of hundreds of such white towers, allowing Li Qi to vaguely see the tip of the iceberg of the former Magic Empire. This gave him confidence in the productivity of Finn's world, and at the same time a sense of awe-inspiring for the forces of the Storm Isles.
Tina resisted the shock in her heart with the disdain on her lips: "Completely imitating the style of the forest, Bai Sensen's is not beautiful at all. ”
Ellie's feelings are completely on another level: "Wide, smash, long ......"
Just Finney noticed Li Qi's expression, and said obediently: "Our Epsilon and Beta City will definitely be more beautiful and magnificent than Silver City in the future!"
"More beautiful is certain, more magnificent may not be", Li Qi rubbed her little head with satisfaction: "At least I personally don't like steel or rock forests, too indifferent, too troublesome." ”
The float boat reaches the top of the tower in the center of the city, and the etiquette to greet Li Qi is quite grand, but the specifications are a little problematic. With the exception of Hathaway, the patriarch of the Mildern family, Perro, and Zold, the only official representative of the Storm Islands is the Deacon Protocol of Silver City Hall.
"I really didn't know that Her Majesty would grant you observer status, the Storm Islands didn't have time to make arrangements accordingly", Hathaway said apologetically, "The Supreme Council hasn't been reconstituted yet, and it's a mess everywhere, you know." ”
"It's your fault......"
Li Qixin said that this observer's identity is really related to you, and then smiled: "But it's hard for you to go back to Silver City to greet you personally, I'm really flattered." ”
Originally, Hathaway and Zelder both proposed to teleport directly to Silver City, but in order to adapt to the environment and take care of the needs of the witches' sightseeing, Li Qi chose to take a floating boat and flew for three days before arriving.
"Come back and deal with some things by the way, it's not hard", Hathaway glanced at the Mildern father and son waiting next to him, and smiled: "What, dissatisfied with Sakhina?"
Li Qi was a little embarrassed: "Ah...... Thankfully, as a tour guide and escort, she is absolutely competent!"
"Well, since you're here more to do with Mildern, I won't take the lead. If you have any needs, you can talk to Sakhina or you can just talk to me. ”
After saying that, Hathaway handed him a ring, which was naturally used for summoning.
After Hathaway left, the Mildern father and son stepped forward to greet each other. The Stormlands have already had a revolution and the Golden Family's monopoly has been overthrown, but judging by Mildern's humble gesture towards Hathaway, the Stormlands' tradition of dignity and inferiority has not changed.
"Your Excellency, you are so young and beautiful......"
The aging Perro-Mildern took Richie's arm and gave him a warm compliment, which immediately gave Richie goosebumps.
Sitting in the floating car pulled by the puppet, Li Qi and Perro had a warm and friendly conversation.
Perrot is also a legendary magician, but he is already one hundred and thirty years old. The aura of decay exuded from his body, even if his divine power was suppressed, Li Qi had a clear sense. The skin, which had been forcibly sustained by magic and potions, was covered in folds, making Richie suspect that with a large needle, the flesh under the skin could be pumped like pus.
"Your Excellency the Duke is here, and Vicky is just a small greeting gift, which will be delivered to you in two days. ”
After some twists and turns, Perro showed sincerity, bringing Richie's favorability towards him a few points closer to zero.
The old legend asked again: "The Duke has come this time as an observer of Her Majesty, which makes us Mildern extremely frightened. I wonder if what I, an unsuccessful son, discussed with you, will change because of this?"
Li Qi said in a firm tone: "Of course not, Zelder is my good friend, no matter what changes in status and identity, the agreement between us will not change!"
Zord, who was huddled in the corner of the carriage, gave Richie a grateful look, and Perro breathed a sigh of relief and smiled even brighter.
In order to prevent this old guy who might have orientation problems from continuing to rub himself on his arm and shoulder, Li Qi quickly said clearly: "I will also attend this reorganization meeting, and it is inconvenient for me to make any statement against the Mildern family at the meeting, after all, at the meeting, I was sent by Her Majesty the Queen to pay attention to the situation in the Storm Islands." Besides, whatever PR activities Mildern has, as long as I don't interfere in the internal affairs of the Storm Isles, don't break the oath of the Alliance of Order, and don't conflict with my beliefs, I'll do my best. ”
Old Pero nodded again and again, looking extremely satisfied.
He smiled and said, "Duke, you are out of sight, how dare we make a request for you." There are just one or two...... Well, two or three events, you need to borrow your identity, and I'm sure you'll be interested in the event yourself. ”
Zelder hurriedly agreed: "Yes, yes, I will never let Li Qi use you as a vase, I know your preferences." ”
Li Qi glanced at him: "Really? Why do I think there is something wrong with your understanding?"
Zord said curtly, "That...... Oh, do you mean that? I'm going to make a new arrangement. ”
"No need", Li Qi hurriedly waved his hand, he was already familiar with Josie's routine, and it would be a new trouble for you to change to a new one.
Pero paused for his staff and said in a cold voice, "Zold, it seems that you have not been attentive enough to His Excellency the Duke!"
Then he turned to Li Qi and smiled: "I have made more preparations in the mansion, so the duke will enjoy it." ”
More?Enjoy!?
Li Qi tried to keep his smile on his face, but his stomach was churning with bitter water.
Richie's residence in Silver City was provided by the Mildern family, which was also needed to show the close relationship between the two parties. The great families of the Storm Isles all have their own separate territories, but they also have their own towers in Silver City. From another point of view, only if you have a separate tower in Silver City, it must be tall enough and close enough to the center to be called a big family.
The mansion used to be the property of the Sulomon family, who had fallen and had more than one tower in Silver City, which fell into the hands of Mildern. It was used to entertain Li Qi, which shows sincerity.
Entering the mansion, he was several times more magnificent than the royal hall, and the hall was set up to chase the imperial court, and hundreds of maids and guards were neatly arranged and knelt down in unison, even Li Qi, who was often on the front of the goddess, was a little stage frightened.
This is Little Red Riding Hood's fault! Who made her unable to even hold back as a mortal, so that she could no longer earn experience points such as "seeing the world" on her? Who made her unable to even pierce that membrane, and at this time she couldn't jump out and ridicule herself for being a petty citizen?
"Annoying ......"
Ellie's muttering made Li Qi feel certain, and behind him, including the Demon Warrior, the entourage of all professions of the Fei Gong was lined up left and right, protecting Li Qi and the others, making the people in the front row who should be the deacons and the head of the guard look shocked and became more respectful, and he completely regained his normal heart.
"Enemy situation! Enemy situation! Another enemy situation!"
In the bedroom, which was even more spacious and luxurious than when Rowanna had entertained him, Fini kept counting the maids who came and went.
"Plus the two at the door, Richie! We can't sleep yet!"
The little girl had a sharp mind and "found" in each of the maids potential signs of seducing Richie. And Josie and Sakhina, who were fighting silently with their eyes at the door, were even more habitual offenders.
"yes, it would have been sad if I had stayed here for the past ten days. ”
Li Qi looked at the scenery from the terrace and let out such an emotion.
From the terrace, there is a higher level of Tallinn, which is the center of the entire Silver City.
This level of Tallinn is made up of only a few dozen towers, each representing a living demigod, and although their bodies are outside the main plane, the family has relied on their power to become the backbone of the power vein of Silver City and the entire Storm Islands.
"Now I'm really like a little Zhuji looking up at the Yuan Infant who has soared to the upper realm and even the Elder of the Transformation God", Li Qi actually gave birth to such a sense of déjà vu.
This level of Tallinn is not the highest, and there are only a few towers on the other floor, where the High Council is located. Shrouded in a special barrier, only faintly visible.
Looking further down, the crystal-like corridors and courtyards connect the upper part of the tower with the other towers, with few pedestrians except for floating cars. Occasionally, puppets can be seen sweeping floors, lighting lights, and repairing damaged facilities.
Although the scene was completely different, Li Qi subconsciously thought of the earth world. In my previous life, I worked in a "high-end commercial area" in the center of the city, in the depths of a concrete forest, and occasionally looked out of the window, and the feeling was as cold and lifeless as it is now.
No, you can't be bored here......
Richie brought in Dresses and Kramer in the hope that they would give advice.
"Silver City, of course we are familiar with it. ”
Dressy smiled faintly, his smile was slightly bitter: "We have been guards in this mansion for more than ten years, and the furniture, carpets, lamps and many decorations here have been changed, but the atmosphere is still so familiar, just like ...... Home is the same. ”
Have you exchanged all the valuables? I guess they got it into their own tower, this Mildern family is really a standard merchant habit, only trying to force the rules, not talking about their own inheritance.
Wait, that's not the point, Dress, they used to be the magic warriors of the Sulomont family.
"Does the Duke want to find a place to be free?"
Kramer said, "The only way to do that is to go to Shadow City, where anyone can reach and where regulation is lax. ”
Dressy frowned: "Shadow City, how can the Duke go to that kind of place, it's too dangerous!"
"Wait, what Shadow City, I've never heard of it", Li Qi asked in surprise, "Could it be that Silver City is like this everywhere?"
"Duke, this city is both a silver city and not a silver city. ”
Dresses sighed: "In the eyes of the locals, Silver City refers to only the surface of the city, and the place where you can get the sun is called Silver City. ”
Li Qi understood: "That's equivalent to the interior of the city", but he didn't understand: "Could it be the Silver City...... I mean, the magicians don't even care about the inside of the city?"
"It's not as simple as inside the city......"
Kramer also said, "It's not that the place where the sun can't get out of the sun is the Shadow City, but the area connected by the base of the tower, which is isolated by the magician into a separate space." People who live and work there cannot come outside without special permission. Most people have never seen sunlight in their entire lives, and only have artificial suns and moons made by magicians on their heads. ”
"The people who live below are slaves who serve the magicians, and even commoners who serve the slaves. Because the magician doesn't want to be distracted by these people, there is a mixture of fish and dragons, and there are everyone. ”
Speaking of this, Kramer said to Dresser again: "Shadow City is basically civilian, even if there are professionals, they are all weak, they can't threaten the Duke, and with our guards, there should be no danger, at least it is much safer than the Underground City." ”
Wait a minute...... I haven't even figured out the shadow city, and an underground city has popped up?
Li Qi was a little annoyed, it seemed that he still didn't know much about Silver City.
Neither Zolde, nor Rowanna, nor Hathaway, nor even Ada, before her, spoke in detail. I don't know if I think this is just common sense and I should know it, or if I don't think I need to understand it, or if I don't want to mention it as a stain.
"The Duke doesn't need to care about the Undercity, it's where criminals and outcasts live, it's a place of sin like the Purgatory Abyss. ”
Sounds like a septic tank or a landfill......
In the end, Li Qi decided to visit the Shadow City, the Silver City (essentially the Silver City), which is equivalent to the "noble community" of the Earth world. Although the services provided are all-encompassing, the atmosphere similar to that of a luxury store or a high-end club really does not make Li Qi feel good.
In contrast, the Shadow City is more like the city's civilian area, with lively markets and friendly food stalls that are the city's vitality.
As soon as they heard that they were going shopping, the witches suddenly became energetic.
When I first entered the mansion, I was attracted by the luxurious decoration and various convenient magic facilities, and once the novelty passed, I also felt that this place was cold and inhumane.
Of course, this is not to say that the maids and maids who come and go are not people, but the slave attitude of these people makes them very unaccustomed. Among them, those beautiful slave girls who obviously harbor "evil hearts" and have different temperaments, characteristics, and even races, make the witches even more annoying.
This time there were forty or fifty men who followed Richie to the Storm Islands, led by Gambit. Leaving Gambit to guard the house, he led four witches, plus two fortresses and two demon warriors to set off.
Going to Shadow City requires a special teleportation permit, and Li Qi directly asks Zolde to get it.
Josie and Sakhina also wanted to follow, but Li Qi raised his palm and shook it: "Can you be worn by me like this? If not, what's the point of taking you? Tour guide? No need, I have it myself." ”
Josie and Sashina were speechless and had to stay.
The two rings on Richie's hand, one is Hathaway's communication ring and the other is Zold's, and you don't have to think about it to know that it must have a positioning function attached. With these two guarantees, there will be no security problems.
"Isn't it really going to go wrong?"
Before stepping onto the teleportation circle of the mansion, Dresser said worriedly, "Although the Mildern family is not as eye-catching as the Golden Family, there will still be enemies, right?"
Richie waved his hand: "So I asked the Mildern family to give me permission, instead of looking for the Ted family, and ......"
The corresponding arrangement must be made, but Li Qi is not convinced that something will happen: "Attacking the Mildern family by attacking me, how does this idea not feel like the way of thinking that humans should have, but the thinking of dark elves?"
Dresser and Kramer glanced at each other, and then Dresser smiled bitterly: "Duke, when you say this, you really think that Silver City is very similar to the dark elf city in the dark region. ”
