Chapter 399 (4) Phantom City (21) The Night of the Hanging Iron City
Walking into the hotel this time, without Shura's guidance, Witt and Ayatsuji can finally take a good look at the people and things in it-
Dozens of adventurers sat scattered in the hotel, dressed the same as when they were caught, but the sharpness on their bodies dissipated. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Moreover, the fire lion tattoos of the Lion Guild on their bodies have all disappeared.
Witt stared at a figure sitting a little closer to him, a boy of about twelve or thirteen years of age, with short gray hair and a freckled face, and his right hand made of steel, talking to a gunman girl with short red hair. Witt has a deep memory of the boy, and when he assisted Shura and Ayatsuji in kidnapping dozens of members of the Lion Guild, this adventurer was the only child.
The boy noticed Witt's gaze, turned his face, and greeted him warmly, "My name is Gary, what's the matter?" ”
Witt realized his impoliteness, scratched his head, and asked, "It's nothing, it's just that you don't seem to have the Lion Guild tattoo on your body, and I feel a little strange...... I remember, you're all members of the Lion Guild, right? ”
"That's right." The red-haired girl standing beside Gary replied first, "We were indeed members of the Lion Guild earlier, but after being brought here by Shura, we quit. By the way, my name is Diana. ”
"Withdrawal? Have all the members of the Lion Guild quit here? Witt asked again.
"That's right, it's very easy for the guild to withdraw from the guild, as long as the blood is dripped on the guild jade plate and destroyed in parallel, the relationship can be dissolved. After we were brought here, Shura told us about the current situation and situation, and we were naturally grateful for their arrangement, and we should withdraw from the meeting. Diana explained.
"The situation and the situation ......," Ayatsuji just muttered after hearing this.
"Yes, in such troubled times now, Thor controls the royal power of the Manchester continent, and also controls the entire Lion Guild in disguise, which is clearly putting our safety at risk. In a world where there is no resurrection, survival is of course the most important thing, and it is our luck to be able to stay here. Diana said this to Ayatsuji.
Witt nodded and asked curiously, "Do you usually stay here just to eat, drink and have fun, and wait for the war outside to subside?" ”
"Of course not, it's very busy here, okay?" This time, Gary hurriedly replied, "Just look at the mission announcement on the wall over there!" ”
-
Looking in the direction of Gary's finger, Witt and Ayatsuji saw the task vellum sheet on the wall on the left side.
The two of them walked up to take a look, and sure enough, the tasks on it were all men and women weaving, opening land and repairing houses, buying and selling to make money, and so on. Witt couldn't help but comment: "It turns out that in this city of suspended iron, it's a cultivation game to play." ”
Witt naturally had no opinion, but he had no interest in the tasks of growing vegetables and flowers, nor did he find the coolie tasks of opening the land and repairing the house the slightest bit interesting, only a few of them related to buying and selling aroused his interest, and one of them, the task of finding a hundred silk flowers for a thousand gold coins, seemed to be the clearest and simplest, so he raised his hand and picked it off.
Seeing that Witt had made his choice, Ayatsuji followed him and let him share the task with herself.
According to the description of the mission, the two immediately ran towards the northern edge of the Hanging Iron City, which was the place where the silk flowers grew as described in the mission.

Although this city of hanging iron was a vast grassland of the highlands when I first entered, I couldn't really feel the vastness of it, and it wasn't until the two of them ran the mission that they really felt it.
It turns out that this iron city hanging in the depths of the clouds and mist in the sky is also divided into day and night, after running for a long time, the night covers the sky, but it is different from the outside world, the sky here can see the starry spots, can reflect the grassland green and a light blue, can illuminate the flowers and trees scattered in a splendid manner, so that this night shows a unique beauty and romance.
The two of them ran among the flying flowers in the curtain for a while, and Witt couldn't help but stop and look up to enjoy the beautiful scenery, so that Ayatsuji, who was walking a few steps ahead, also stopped.
"It's beautiful." Witt couldn't help but exclaim, "It seems like it's been a long time since I've seen such a beautiful and relaxing scene." ”
Ayatsuji followed his gaze to the sky, looking at it without saying a word, as if lost in thought.
"What are you thinking?" Witt stepped forward and asked the girl softly.
The girl sighed and said softly: "I originally came here to escape from the real world, but I didn't expect that everything I saw and encountered in this brave continent was even more cruel than the real world. It's been a long time since I've seen such a beautiful world...... That's what we want, the world we want to escape, right? ”
"Yes." Witt replied, "I understand your feelings 100% ......"
That night, Witt and Ayatsuji lay casually on the grass, admiring the endless starry sky and flying flowers, until the sky turned white, until the light shuttled from the sky and shone on their faces and bodies......
