Chapter 110: Dungeon
This is a small market, but it is unexpectedly narrow, as deep as the alleys of the ancient town, as far as the eye can see, lined with shops, random temporary vendors all around, strange materials, utensils, medicines, and food are dazzling.
Although it is an underground city, it is surprising that there are still blue skies and white clouds, still clear skies, sunshine, occasional spring breeze, catkins falling, everything is so comfortable and prosperous.
The scenery here is no different from the city above the ground, at least Ling Feng does not feel any difference, there are buildings and streets nearby, mountains and rivers in the distance, and deserts and snow-capped mountains in the distance.
In the city, except for the courtyard of the city lord, which is isolated separately, the rest of the city is mixed together, and the crowds are surging and lively.
"Young master, come and see..."A young girl pulled a boy slightly younger than herself through the crowd of people in the street, they looked here and there, and almost every path they walked left their figures.
Ling Feng's hand was pulled, and his whole body was dragged forward with him, and he had no choice but to shake his head and smile bitterly.
This girl named Liu Hanhan, who was pulling him, was the girl who brought her food, and at first she just wanted to learn from the other party about the current situation of this hidden declining city, but she never thought that this girl was very enthusiastic, and offered to take herself out for a walk.
Ling Feng hesitated slightly, then agreed, staying in the room and doing nothing was indeed boring, it was better to go out and take a look around, and by the way, it was indeed a good choice.
Besides, he accepted the inheritance inexplicably, turned into a young master, and was about to face a greater test in the future, so it would not hurt to know more about the city.
Through the layers of doors, the two of them walked for about a quarter of an hour before leaving the huge mansion, looking back from the door, only to see this piece of courtyard that can no longer be described as luxurious, this is like the imperial design of the Forbidden City, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is majestic.
Walking far away, as there were more and more people, the surroundings also changed from lonely to noisy, and this girl's mood became more and more high, at this time Ling Feng could be regarded as understanding where this girl was kind enough to take her around, obviously she had stayed in that huge courtyard for too long, and she wanted to come out to play, so she just found her own excuse.
Thinking about it, it will indeed be very depressing to stay in front of that hierarchical old man for a long time, and he is not disgusted with it, this girl's lively personality makes him feel a touch of softness and truth in this world, which still makes him very happy.
There are too many things that have happened during this time, and the amount of information received is too large, far beyond his more than 20 years of life experience, I am afraid that the old man who has lived in his original world for a hundred years will never have such an adventure as himself, and when he returns to the earth, it will be an unforgettable memory.
Ling Feng thought nonsense all the way, and when he came back to his senses again, he saw that Liu Hanhan was bargaining with an old man hard, as if he had taken a fancy to something and wanted to buy it, but before he could pass, the girl walked towards him with a face full of faces, and it seemed that the negotiation had failed.
"Let's go, we're looking elsewhere. As she walked up to her, she smiled reluctantly and walked towards a quaint shop across the street.
Ling Feng didn't follow immediately, but came to the vendor with a rotten bamboo pole that Liu Hanhan was arguing about, the old man described it as withered, sparse white hair, no brilliance in his eyes, and the tattered clothes on his body fluttered in the wind, the situation in front of him made him really can't think of any good things that such a vendor can sell.
But he walked over anyway, and the old man was just sitting cross-legged on the ground, his eyes slightly closed, and he didn't pay any attention to himself.
"Ahem, that girl was my friend just now, I don't know what she wanted to buy just now, and she argued with you for a long time?" Ling Feng politely stepped forward and asked in a low voice.
Hearing this, the old man's eyes opened a slit, raised his head and glanced at the young man in front of him, and the old voice slowly squeezed out of his throat.
"It is a bird egg born on the top of the sea of clouds, hunters with a little common sense know, but all spirit beasts, it is extremely difficult to sign a contract with them as a contract beast, the more pure and noble the creature, the more unwilling to be controlled by humans, even in the face of powerful summoners, they often prefer to destroy rather than give in, so ah, hunters often choose juvenile creatures to start, but even so, juvenile spirit beasts are so easy not to catch? They generally choose to live in groups or follow their parents, it is difficult to have a chance to start, and for those who have begun to have spiritual intelligence, they cannot completely obey and reach a consensus with the contract owner, but there are exceptions, that is, when they have not yet hatched, if they can imprint the spiritual imprint on their bodies, and take care of them day and night, they can completely control the spirit animal, and they will obey the command of the contract owner as a parent. ”
Ling Feng listened to the old man's narration and couldn't help but be fascinated, it turned out that this summoned creature, and so much exquisiteness, instantly became interested in the cultivation of this spirit beast, and he didn't know if Liuli could also communicate with his own heart.
He can be regarded as a phantom beast to sign a contract, but now he can't control it, and Liuli can't recover his strength now, and he always falls into a deep sleep, not long ago, he used the last bit of power he had left to forcibly open the contract space that he had not yet formed, and there was no sound after entering.
I guess I won't be able to see him for a long time, at least not until I become a summoner and master the magic of opening space.
It's just that Ling Feng is still looking forward to partnering with himself when Liuli fully recovers his strength, it should be a battle power, it seems that the phantom beast is stronger than the spirit beast in the old man's mouth.
"Then how do you sell this egg?" Ling Feng asked casually.
"I only sell summoning mages that are destined for fate, and the price is very expensive. Although the old man did not refuse, it was clear that he did not intend to sell to the young man in front of him.
"You haven't offered a price yet, how do you know I can't afford it?" Ling Feng frowned, this old man was also verbose, and he refused to offer a price after talking for a long time.
He knew from Liu Hanhan that this dungeon does not use gold and silver as currency like those cities on the ground, but directly uses rare ores that can be used to build equipment, or magic ores that provide energy as trades.
At first, Ling Feng couldn't understand, living underground, isn't this ore or something easier to mine?
However, with Liu Hanhan's explanation, he knew that it was not as simple as he imagined, it can be said that it is precisely because of living underground that he must be more cautious, not unscrupulous mining, often have to consider whether the geological structure will cause collapse and affect people's lives, or dig into some unknown areas, release some terrifying creatures, and the area where they are located has been mining for many years, and it has long been close to the point of resource exhaustion, but it is only that the reserves were rich before, and they were strictly controlled by the city lord's mansion, so it did not cause great turmoil.
