Vivien decided to meet the Lucas family first, although she had never had much interest in other aliens, especially the ones who were rigid and conservative, arrogant and xenophobic, and keen on dominating power, but now that everyone wanted to enter the ruins, they had to deal with the diehards. She had had several contacts with the previous patriarch of the Lucas family, and had also met the younger brother of the previous patriarch, who was now the head of the Lucas family, so she felt that she could still speak more or less.

In addition to paying attention to the ruins, Hao Ren is now also a little curious about the state of aliens in the city, and he is curious to know how many "shelters" like this one are in the world, but Hethanna is vague about this: "Honestly...... It's not that I can't trust you, but I don't know. When the construction of these shelters began, it was already the collapse stage of the Age of Mythology, when the surviving alien races in the world were divided and surrounded by demon hunters, and communication with each other was completely cut off, and this situation lasted for more than a thousand years. We stay in the shelter because we are safe, but on the other hand, we are lagging behind in the information outside. Of course, this isolation didn't last forever, and we slowly started to move outside, but the number of other settlements we could contact was much smaller than expected - it is speculated that many of the shelters are still completely closed, and no one knows if they have been destroyed or are still alive. It is said that there are several other settlements below the mantle and deep in the crust of the Arctic and Antarctic. How do you find this, you say? ”

Many earthlings have always thought that they have completely ruled this planet and have insight into most of the secrets of this planet, but now Hao Ren knows that there are still too many things that humans do not know about this world. The obscure historical truths are so different from the pages that humanity has kept in the library, that most earthlings never imagined that there were so many secrets buried on this planet - and that they still crept in the shadows to this day.

Due to the constant blockade of witchers and the Church, the aliens must operate in the most low-key manner in this world, and it is difficult for them to openly search for companions or find clues to other shelters. The period between the end of the mythical age and the end of the Church's witch-killing campaign is called "Winter", and the shelters that gradually recovered after the end of the Age of Mythology and began to communicate with the outside world were still available, but many more have not been reopened since they were founded, and even the most senior ones only have a rough idea that these fortresses exist somewhere in the world. But no one knew how to open the forts from the outside or contact the survivors inside, and certainly no one knew if they had been infiltrated by the witchers - they were all shrouded in a fog and no one knew what was going on.

As we learn more about the status quo of aliens on Earth. Hao Ren also felt more and more that the water on the earth was really deep, and the ordinary and peaceful, even simple and boring human world in his original impression had already been subverted, in a realm that ordinary people could not reach with the naked eye. The world is full of shadows of the past that lurk in the dark. The shadow fortress of the city of Athens is probably the most representative of these phenomena: can anyone imagine that there were actually two in the city of Athens?

Another city of Athens is hidden in the shadow of the real Athens. The shaded medium layer is properly preserved in the space of another layer of zài. The strange streets that Vivien led the people through, the antique shop of Hesperius between the void and the reality, and the impenetrable fog of the streets were only the first layer of protection for the shadow layer, and the people were far from touching the real walls of this shelter, and Hesperius was like a doorman, she and other ancient people with great strength and qualifications stood guard at all points of the shadow layer, and only those who were recognized could pass through the deeper shadows and reach another city.

Hethanna invited the group to "another Athenian city in the shadows", and Vivien hesitated, but everyone else readily agreed.

Anyway, it's not a big deal to join in the fun. There's a Lily jumping up and down next to you, and you're expecting these guys to go back to the hotel honestly?

Hesperius was busy with real-world things a few minutes later, with the same strange bell sound. She reappeared in front of everyone, and Heathera immediately jumped up and shouted happily: "Seniors, seniors, help open a door to the deep space~~ By the way, each of them will be marked that they can move in the space on the first to third floors." ”

Hesperith nodded, raised a finger and gently chanted a spell with a very strange tone, Hao Ren didn't feel any change in his body, and the spell casting process was over. Heathera explained beside her: "Outsiders who want to enter the Shadow Fortress must be guided by the gatekeeper, and you have already been imposed, with which you can move freely in the first or third floor of the Shadow Fortress - basically seventy percent of the places. The places you can't go will be guarded, so you don't have to worry about going the wrong way. Come, come, come, I'll show you the way. ”

"Hesperius, see you later." Vivien said goodbye to her old friend, who returned to the counter and waved her hand in response.

As they left the strange antique shop, Hao Ren noticed that the scene outside the shop had changed again: this time even the streets on both sides of the road were gone, and there was only an endless thick fog outside, and a vague path stretched into the depths of the fog ahead, and it was impossible to see where the end was.

He looked back, and to his surprise, Hesperith's antique shop had also disappeared into a thick fog, leaving only a lone glass door, which was eerily empty beside it.

"You say Hesperius is a weird man, but I don't think it's true." He turned around and said casually, "It's just a little gloomy." ”

Vivien smiled lightly, "That's just today, she's normal." ”

Hao Ren: "? ”

"It's better to be safe inside the Shadow Fortress," Heatherena led the way in front, jumping happily as she walked, she did this Lily style with a Vivian face, which made people feel a sense of disobedience, "This city is different from other places, the witchers have always tried to find a way to break through the shadow layer, there are their eyeliners everywhere in the city, and you may be targeted when you are outside." Going to the shadow fortress has my territory, which is guaranteed to be much more comfortable than staying in a hotel outside. After two days, let's go directly from the Shadow Fortress to the ruins, so that the route is safer. ”

Vivien seemed a little unhappy that Heatherian would be involved in the Day of the Return: "How could you be interested in such a as the Day of the Return?" ”

"I'm not interested in the day of return, anyway, I came out of you, and if I want to return, I will hang on you again, so I don't want to return to some other strange place," Hethanna smiled brightly, but it gave Vivien goosebumps, "I'm interested in the strange ...... in the ruins Well, the environment, anyway, if you stay in it, you will be full of strength, your head will not be dizzy, and you will not be dizzy, and there is an old vampire who has been cured of a herniated lumbar disc for many years, who doesn't like such a good thing. Vivian, you should try it too, for there's magic in the air—hiss, drooling water. ”

Hao Ren couldn't help but look at Vivian when he heard this: "Wait, the effect will be so exaggerated?" ”

"Although the dream plane is rich in magic, it hasn't reached this point, has it?" Itzax whispered beside him, expressing the confusion that Hao Ren and Vivien shared.

"It's not an exaggeration," Hethanna didn't know what they were talking about, and thought that what she described was so beautiful that everyone couldn't believe it, she waved her hand vigorously to increase her persuasiveness, "The energy environment in the ruins is abundant, and you can even see something like the aurora in the air at any time, it's all magic clouds......"

"It's not like a dream plane," Hao Ren whispered to Vivien in surprise, "This relic may lead to somewhere else......

Nangong May also came over: "Or it's not connected anywhere, but there is some radioactive energy source in it?" ”

"What are you muttering?" When Hethanna saw Vivian whispering intimately with a group of people but was unwilling to deal with herself, her face immediately fell, "Lord Vivian, you can't do this, no matter how you say it, I ...... it."

Vivien glared at Heatheren, "If you can maintain even the slightest reserve after seeing me, I'm willing to talk to you properly!" ”

Hao Ren saw that the relationship between the "mother and daughter" seemed to be very unharmonious, and he couldn't help but touch Vivian's arm unexpectedly: "Anyway, why do you reject her so much?" I think this girl is very good in all aspects except for a little fuss, and she has a lot to do with you. ”

Viviantie looked at the good guy with a smile: "Imagine that one day you lose a hair on your body, and then it twists its face and turns into a man who is almost indistinguishable from your appearance and body, and this man follows you every day. The back of the thighs is greasy, and the biggest wish in my life is to be with you again......"

Hao Ren's face turned green: "Don't say it!" I'll never mention this to you again, okay? ”

Vivien covered her face and looked away, "That's why I'd rather wander outside than get half a step closer to the city, even if I have enough to eat here." ”

When Hethanna heard this, she immediately felt distressed: "Lord Vivian, you often don't have enough to eat?" ”

"You don't have to worry about it," Vivien raised her hand and pointed at Hao Ren, "Now that he is raising me, I can stay away from you more confidently." ”

The cold sweat on Hao Ren's body flowed on the insole, and he obviously felt that the eyes of Heathera Anna looking at him quickly turned into looking at the enemy who killed his mother...... (To be continued......)
