Zuo Ci did not reply to Sal's teachings, nor was he prepared to answer, even if it was just a game, he still felt troubled. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In addition to Thrall and Nick's explanation earlier that the background of the Lion Guild is swaggering and causing enemies, this guild seems to have a lot of conceited maniacs, and it is inevitable that there will be too many enemies, and it is no wonder that he will attract people to attack everywhere as soon as he is alone.

Feeling that Zuo Ci didn't want to chat, Sal and Luty chatted naturally after walking together.

Although they are members of the guild association, they only get together at the moment of the guild mission, and most of them are in the situation of several people traveling together, and they rarely have the opportunity to chat privately, and they don't know each other very well. Sal is still a little curious about this predecessor with a strong contrast between his appearance and his heart.

"Ludy, in fact, I've always wondered why you came to this continent to take root and develop? - Is Brunei worse than Manchester? ”

"Brunei, a very peaceful place, the outside of the city is full of trees and flowers, and the inside of the city is full of songs and laughter. In particular, the village where I was born was guarded by the enchantment, hidden in a powerful spell, and its existence can hardly be perceived by aliens, and it has the effect of keeping people from approaching...... Oh, I probably didn't mention it - I was born into the realm of the Spirit Fox, a place where the only sound of birds and insects was silent. The Linghu people who are accustomed to the life of hermits either do not go out of the gate, or hide in the mountains to practice. On ordinary days, it is difficult to see a pedestrian on the streets of the town, and only on the day of the monthly sacrifice will everyone gather in an orderly manner towards the shrine of the Spirit Fox Palace, kneel under the shade of the branches and leaves of the undefeated god face tree, and just pray—" Ludy smiled charmingly, "Ah, it's been too long...... I'm about to forget the scent of the god-faced tree...... It's a completely different world from Manchester. “

"Sounds good, better than feeling like you're in Manchester." Sal pursed the corners of his lips and smiled wryly, "I still don't understand why you're here?" ”

"Maybe I did have a soul suitable for Brunei at the beginning, and I enjoyed everything until I stepped out of that world and changed in time and experience. Now how much I hate hypocritical peace, in the end, it is the fierce confrontation that suits my heart's desire - Sal, we are not born perfect, we are all born evil, it is only a matter of whether we choose to admit this fact. After Ludi turned her face sideways to say this, she unconsciously glanced at Zuo Ci.

Zuo Ci met her gaze, still silent.

The theory just now was inexplicably familiar to him, and he remembered what his adoptive father Sorens had said to him after the failure of the first game of kings.

[Why are you saving that back-row mage?] It is the responsibility of the tank in the front row to absorb damage, and the level of those people is so inferior to you, it is a waste to use your life to protect! It's rare for Sorens to say so much without making a move, and normally, he'd already slapped him in the face.

Zuo Ci's expression was a little stiff, and he muttered: [I just can't bear it...... ］

Before he finished speaking, his adoptive father's slap came as scheduled-[snap], and a clear palm print immediately appeared on his face-

[If you dare to mention a single word in the future, I will break your leg - this is only an excuse for the weak.] We are all born evil, and only by facing our own evil, being honest with our selfishness, greed, and desires, and using all our instincts, can we achieve true strength. I hate to see pity in your eyes—never let me see a shred of mercy again. ］

"Zuo Ci, are you okay?" The burly Sal was actually very delicate, and he inadvertently observed that Zuo Ci's expressionless face became more and more stiff, and the hands holding the reins were also clenched tightly, and he couldn't help but care about it, recalling his thoughts.

Zuo Ci came back to his senses and glanced at Sal lightly, and spit out two words with an expressionless face: "It's okay." ”

After nearly two hours of walking on the mountain path leading to the top of the mountain, the group came to a huge cave not far from the entrance.

Zuo Ci saw the magnificent cave entrance from afar, with a horizontal surface of nearly 100 meters, dozens of zhang high, and the edge of the cave entrance seemed to have a steel edge, reflecting a side of light in the sun.

The entrance to the cave was guarded by heavily armed guards on both sides and in the middle, dressed similarly to mercenaries, and as soon as Zuo Ci approached, he asked the leader Ludy in a mechanical voice, "Why did you go to the Steel Fortress?" ”

"Transit." Ludy impatiently spread her right hand out in front of the interrogating guard.

The humanoid guard rolled his eyes a few times, a glimmer of blue light flashed across his eyes, then looked up and smiled at Ludy, stepped aside, and said, "Scanning, please let Ludy pass." ”

"Do I need to do an ID scan to enter and exit the Steel Fortress?"

The group walked into the brightly lit entrance of the cave, and Zuo Ci glanced at the guards behind him and asked Sal.

"That's right, the entry and exit of the big cities of Fort Furnace, Steel Fortress and Castle of Shadows require identity verification, but usually only one person's identity is verified, and you are Manchester, and there is no problem with regional hatred points, so don't be afraid to test it on this continent. You only need to be careful when you go to other continents, in which case you can only ask the locals to take you in and out. Sal patiently explained.

"It's actually quite good to be a newcomer." "I remember a time when I seemed to be curious about everything, full of novelty about everything in this world - you probably haven't been to Steel Fortress before, so you'll be happy about the experience that is coming." ”

Zuo Ci quickly understood what Ludi meant, and walked in the spacious and neat stone path for about half an hour, and the road surface in front of him was neatly cut off.

Zuo Ci leaned on the guardrail on the severed edge and looked down, the bottomless core seemed to be flickering with a faint red light, and when he looked up, he only saw the tightness of the rock wall that reached the sky, and there was no light leaking in.

As he surveyed the environment, Luty walked over to the rock wall on the side of the passage to examine an hour-scale object, and said softly, "It's almost there." ”

Less than a minute after the words fell, Zuo Ci heard a rumbling sound from one side, and when he looked at the sound, he saw a huge ship slowly sailing towards this side, and finally stopped in front of the cliff.

"The West Exit Station has arrived! The West Exit Station has arrived! -As the train has arrived at the West Exit Station, please take your luggage and valuables and get off the train through the door on the right side of the train, and be careful when you get off the train and the platform. A sound rang out all around, and the ship's forward boarding gate stayed precisely in the middle of the cliff cut at the waiting station, and the guardrail in the corresponding position clicked outward.

Several characters with guns and weapons on their backs were the first to get out of the car, and when they saw the red lion tattoos on different parts of Ludy, Sal, and Zuo Ci, their faces were visibly nervous.

Without urging, Ludy just "clicked" the magazine of the spear, and several people fled like rabbits on their mounts.

Rudy chuckled seductively and stepped aboard the ship first.

It is a three-story ship that appears to be fifty meters long and twenty meters wide. There were no seats in the room, clean and spacious, enough to accommodate Zuo Ci and the fifty mercenaries.

Only the ground floor of the three-storey structure is a sealed space, the second floor has windows that open and closes on the left and right, and the third floor is an open-air terrace.

The mercenaries stood neatly in the middle of the second floor, and while Sal and Luty were talking to a steel guard, Zuo Ci followed the stairs to the top floor, and watched the ship smoothly and neatly shuttle through the complex natural stone structure within the volcano, and there was an inexplicable pleasure in his heart.

"The fare has been paid."

As Zuo Ci stood at the end of the ship admiring the scenery of the extremely fast shuttle, Sal walked behind him and said.

"How much?" Zuo Ci immediately turned his head and asked him.

"200 silver - the boat fare is given by Ludy, you don't have to pay, the gap between the two of you is too big, you can earn a gold now, she is a transfer role at the full level of engineering, not bad." Thrall patted him on the shoulder, stepped into a parallel position, and changed the subject-

"How? It's interesting, isn't it? The Iron Fortress is located in the center of the largest extinct volcano in the Bloodshed Volcanic Group, codenamed Bloodfall Core, and has four entrances and exits around it, based on the pathways of the four sub-volcanoes surrounded on all sides. The road we took is the shortest and easiest to access the sub-volcano in the west, which is called the blood abyss west, and so on, the east is called the blood east, the south is called the blood south, and the north is called the blood north. ”

Zuo Ci nodded lightly: "This name is quite easy to remember." ”

"Haha, yes, this is the easiest place name in the world to remember, your reminder has given me another reason to like Steel Fortress - the whole of Manchester, I do like to come to Steel Fortress the most, there are many novelties here, and it belongs to Manchester's largest traffic transit city, and you can see all kinds of interesting travelers, you will know when you enter the city later."

Sal's words did make Zuo Ci look forward to it, not because of pure curiosity, but because of the description that this place was a good place to gather information. For a series of things to do next, whether it is stealing books, finding people, or improving your abilities...... Including answering the doubts in his heart, he may be able to find more clues or answers.

After a while, with a big turn of the ship, the light in the distance became more and more intense, and the faint sound of a bell seemed to be heard in my ears. Without waiting for the ship to slow down and stop at the station and report the arrival reminder, Zuo Ci knew that the destination was in front of him.
