NO.146 ENTERING THE CITY
As the helicopter approached, Zhang Yaoyang gradually saw that it was a medieval-style city, with marble walls, tall and straight Gothic churches, and side by side houses and crowds of people, as if returning to Europe in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, and an exoticism came to the face.
Each of the city's four walls has a gate, located in the east, west, south and north of the city, and a road made of earth and stone stretches out until it reaches the end of the distant line of sight.
On the road, you can occasionally see horse-drawn carriages painted with beautiful oil paint coming and going, although it is far less prosperous than reality, but it is also orderly.
Without attracting anyone's attention, Zhang Yaoyang landed the helicopter in a small forest when he was two or three kilometers away from the city, and then directly abandoned the helicopter and walked along the road in the direction of the city.
However, as soon as he walked to the wide road, Zhang Yaoyang saw a carriage drawn by three black horses coming from a distance, and sitting outside the carriage was a blonde man dressed in the costume of a European medieval aristocracy, dressed as a gentleman.
Zhang Yaoyang stood on the side of the road and beckoned to the other party, but when the man saw Zhang Yaoyang, it was like seeing a ghost, and the carriage suddenly turned and passed by Zhang Yaoyang's side.
Seeing the other party leave as if he was running away, Zhang Yaoyang couldn't help frowning, he didn't want to take off his clothes, and at the same time stretched out with one hand, a dress that was not much different from the previous person was revealed, Zhang Yaoyang changed into this clothes before standing on the side of the road again, waiting for the next passing carriage.
This time, the carriage stopped smoothly, and an old man with a strong military aura asked vigilantly, "Dear sir, may I ask what you are doing?" ”
Zhang Yaoyang didn't answer, just silently observed the details of the other party's dress, language, etc., but soon found out in shock that the language spoken by the other party was not Chinese and English, but an ancient Babylonian, but he really understood it.
"You, this gentleman?" The coachman looked at the man in front of him, and stretched out his hand behind him with a little vigilance - the person in front of him turned out to be a rare yellow-skinned and black-eyed person, obviously with Asian American blood, but the other party's deep eyes were filled with a certain evil look.
For a while, the driver even regretted why he parked.
"I want to go back to the city, can you give me a ride?" After a short silence, Zhang Yaoyang tried to ask in Chinese, but as soon as this sentence was spoken, the other party immediately responded.
"I'm sorry, my host and I are in a hurry and can't let you get in the car." Without waiting for Zhang Yaoyang to finish speaking, the old man in front of him immediately refused, and at the same time, as if he had found a reason, he quickly turned the head of the car and drove straight past Zhang Yaoyang's side.
"Uncle Huba......" A crisp voice like a yellow bird came from inside the carriage, and the curtain that had been lowered was lifted by a white and slender hand, revealing a pair of purple pupils, and looking at Zhang Yaoyang's eyes full of curiosity.
Zhang Yaoyang didn't show any anger, just calmly glanced at the other party, and then withdrew his gaze.
As the carriage went farther and farther, the coachman was secretly relieved to see that the other party was not chasing, but in the carriage behind him, the crisp voice suddenly said again, "Uncle Huba, what happened to that person just now?" ”
"Miss, that guy seems to want us to give him a ride." The old coachman immediately replied.
"Then why don't you let him come up?" The girl's voice was full of innocence, "Then again, it's the first time I've seen someone with this kind of appearance, is this the legendary Asian American race?" ”
The coachman known as Huba couldn't help but show a helpless look, "Miss, what did I ask him to come up for, did I let this stranger be alone with you?" Besides, although the Amas are indeed a little scarce compared to the number of our Caucasian nobles and lowly black slaves, they can always be seen in some places, and there is no need to make a fuss. ”
"Besides, that guy ......" Huba couldn't help but think of the other man's eyes again, which seemed to have an evil aura in them, and it was when he saw the other man's eyes that he became vigilant.
"What else is there?"
"It's nothing, miss, we'll be home soon." Huba hurriedly changed the topic, and he glanced behind him again uneasily, perhaps because he had gone too far, and he couldn't see the other party at all at this time.
After driving again for about ten minutes, all of a sudden, a high-pitched neighing of horses came from overhead, and countless dust was stirring and flying, blowing so that Huba couldn't help but close his eyes!
"Ahh
Inside the carriage, the girl's exclamation came, "Uncle Huba, look, it's the Knight of Shattuck from the City Lord's Mansion!" ”
Huba was taken aback, he quickly looked up, only to see a dozen monsters covering the sky and the sun were suspended above his head, these monsters had heads similar to horses, their bodies and wings were in the shape of bats, and their size was very huge, on the back of each monster, there was a knight shrouded in iron armor, more than three hundred kilograms of weight, for this huge monster, it was as easy as if it did not exist.
This kind of soldier is the raretest air force in the city defense army, the Shahtaq Knights, each of whom represents a brave and resolute super soldier selected at all levels, and they are a direct force that can only be mobilized by the city lord himself.
Huba hurriedly stood up and stroked his chest with one hand, "Noble knights, we are members of the Spielberg family, I don't know what the knights are doing when they come to stop us?" ”
"Less nonsense." The knights of Shattak formed an encirclement and surrounded the carriage in the center, and the knight in the lead looked down at Huba, "Did you see a man on this road just now, and the other party was wearing the costume of the purgatory world. ”
"What? You're saying that someone from the world of Purgatory has broken in again? Huba was suddenly startled, and he didn't want to look down the road he came, "Your Excellency, I haven't seen the person in the purgatory world costume you mentioned, but we have seen a strange passer-by with the face of an Asian American. ”
"That's right, it's him!" The knight of Shataq immediately looked up, "You mean, he was behind you just now?" ”
"Yes, we just met him, and he wanted to hitchhike, but I saw that he was suspicious, so I refused." Huba hurriedly said, "He should be less than two kilometers away from us now, and we can see him if we go down this road." ”
"Let's go!" With Huba's concise and clear answer, more than a dozen knights immediately pulled the reins, and the Shataq bird under their crotch let out a piercing hiss, Huba only felt that his face was pale, he quickly covered his ears, and at the same time shouted worriedly into the carriage, "Miss, are you okay?" ”
"I'm alright, Uncle Huba!" The girl's voice came, "But what is the purgatory world you just talked about?" ”
"It's a world of endless pain and twists...... Huba was relieved to hear that Mademoiselle was fine, and he glanced at the knights of Shahtak who were moving away quickly, and suddenly slammed his whip, causing the carriage to speed up towards the city.
“…… Legend has it that the world of purgatory is a world without the protection of gods, and only the most blasphemous sinners are exiled there. "It's the most barren and desolate of all worlds, so barren that there aren't even ghouls or Shattuck!" ”
"Because there is no divine light to shine, there is only endless misery and barrenness in that world, and sinners have to use a power called technology to resist emptiness and misery in order to protect themselves......"
Huba continued, "I haven't heard about the Purgatory World for many years, and I thought that the humans in that world had long since died, but I didn't expect to see another ...... today."
"Then why did the city lord arrest him?" In the carriage, the girl asked curiously and babyishly.
"Because these guys who came from the world of purgatory are blasphemous." Huba sneered, "Many of them don't even believe in gods, and some even say blasphemous statements like 'My fate is up to me', and what's more, they even want to pollute our civilization and let us use the evil power of 'technology' in a vain attempt to make our entire Dream Continent degenerate to the same level as the Purgatory World, which is simply condemnable!" ”
"Ahh The people of the Purgatory World are so terrifying? Inside the carriage, the girl was visibly frightened.
"yes, those guys are demons in human skin." Huba nodded as a matter of course, and he looked at the road that had reached the end, "Miss, we are at the city gate. ”
However, before Huba could finish his words, suddenly, a loud noise came from behind him, and Huba and the people at the city gate turned their heads blankly, only to see a strong light erupting like a rising sun, and at the same time, a crimson mushroom cloud rose in the sky......
