Chapter 37: The Underground Streets
Alsto is known as the most chaotic of the eight cities of the Alliance, and the so-called chaos not only refers to disorder, but also has other meanings, so Alsto has other names. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Bloody Land, **** City, Starry Sky Dark Corner, Money Empire and so on.
There is no way, after all, Alsto's geographical location is special, which creates its special existence, and because it is a special existence, it will definitely create a unique urban style, and the underground street is one.
The underground street appeared on the top when Lan Xin first came to Alstor, that is, the center street, but because he was frightened by the first store, Lan Xin didn't observe the other shops at all, under normal circumstances, the underground street only exists below the center street, also known as the underground exchange, and the underground street will only be vacated during the big auction.
The reason why it is called an underground street is not only because it exists underground, but also because 80% of the transactions and things related to transactions here cannot be seen, at least not by ordinary people.
Alsto, despite the chaos, is trying to maintain a balance, if possible, at least to keep Alsto's foundation stable, and ordinary people are necessary for the existence of a city.
The underground shopping mall is very dark, although there are many crystal-like objects illuminating, but the faint light cannot illuminate the entire underground shopping mall, as if deliberately, each store can at least have a glimmer of light to illuminate the goods, but between the stores there is a black hole.
It's more like a stall than a store, because it's basically a thing that is sold directly on the ground.
Gülen said that the area of the underground street was ten times that of the rice-shaped central street, but Lan Xin couldn't see how much of the area of the underground street was also rice-shaped.
There are a lot of people selling things along the way, but the things sold at those stalls are not strange but they are also very ordinary, Lan Xin can't see the difference between them and the grocery stores and antique shops on Center Street above, this is the underground street?
"The underground street on the third floor is very similar to a gambling market, many people here are not magicians, and many of the things sold are also garbage, many people just come to try their luck, whether it is to sell or buy, if you are lucky, you may be able to pick something valuable. Gülen ignored the surrounding stalls and walked as he spoke.
"The upper three floors? There won't be the middle three floors, the lower three floors, right?"
"There are ten floors, and we're going to the sixth. ”
Sixth floor... I still have to go...
Lan Xin followed Gülen down the stairs with a decadent look.
Lan Xin followed Gülen like this, walked through the second floor and went around to the third floor, and after walking around the fourth floor and began to walk down the fifth floor, Lan Xin walked almost collapsed, but the things along the way made Lan Xin begin to pay attention.
From the third floor, the underground street has gradually become brighter, and the fourth floor is much brighter than the third floor, which is simply not comparable to the first three floors, and the things sold seem to be starting to grow taller, Lan Xin can see a lot of things similar to crystals, weapons, books and even potions, and the key thing is that some vendors are no longer stalls.
On the sixth floor, Gülen found a stall and pulled out a red crystal the size of a ping-pong ball, which the stall owner tossed out after reading it carefully.
No, it doesn't seem like a coin?
Lan Xin stared at the unidentified object in Gülen's hand and did not relax.
"What's wrong?"
"What is this?" Lan Xin asked, pointing to something in Gülen's hand.
Gülen glanced at the things in his hand and said, "Star Rain Coins, haven't you seen them?"
Gülen opened his palm, and a coin-shaped object appeared in front of Lan Xin, colorless and transparent as a diamond facet, and it seemed to be shining a little bit of light inside.
"This is the Star Rain Coins, a kind of Star Coins, whose value is equivalent to a million times that of ordinary Star Coins, which normal families would not have under normal circumstances, and this is the Star Coin that circulates between magicians and some rich and nobles. ”
"Star Coins?" Lan Xin looked puzzled, "What are Star Coins?"
I've heard the word star coin more than once, and Lan Xin can roughly guess that it is a currency in circulation, but Lan Xin is not sure, and Lan Xin doesn't understand, why is it called star coin?
What does Starry Sky Coin mean?
Gülen was puzzled, Star Coins are Star Coins, what can it be?
In fact, for Lan Xin, star coins are like money, money is money, and nothing else, similarly, for Gülen, star coins are star coins, but it is also a little different.
Although Lan Xin was puzzled by Lan Xin's unclear idea of what Star Coins were, Glenn still explained very carefully: "Star Coins are crystals containing star matter, and for ordinary people, Star Coins can only be used for trading, but for magicians, Star Coins can also be used as props to increase the strength of magic. ”
Increase the strength of magic!Lan Xin's eyes immediately lit up.
"The Star Matter contained in Star Coins can increase the magic strength of the Magician, but it also depends on the Star Coins. Gülen saw Lan Xin's mood fluctuations and continued, "Although ordinary star coins have star matter in them, they can't extract all of them, which means that only some special crystals can be extracted from star matter, and these special crystals are made into special star coins for trading, and their value is thousands of times that of ordinary star coins, or even more. ”
Lan Xin listened carefully to this unknown knowledge.
"Although this star coin in my hand is not an ordinary star coin, it can only be regarded as a medium, the star rain coin is a star coin commonly used by high-level magicians, and for our middle-level magicians, most of the time they use amethyst. ”
Gülen took out a purple Star Coin and threw it to Lan Xin, this one was very similar to the Star Shower Coins, except for the color.
Lan Xin put the amethyst coin in front of his eyes, although it was purple, it was also transparent, and there was also a little glittering substance in the amethyst, could that be the star substance that Gülen said?
"It's here. ”
didn't wait for Lan Xin to continue to look at Gülen and pulled Lan Xin to stop, unconsciously Lan Xin actually followed Gülen to another passage, this is not the passage to go up, because there are two people standing at the entrance of the passage, it seems that they are guards, when they come, there is not, the destination is not the sixth floor, then below is the seventh floor, what is Glenn going to do, and Lan Xin has never figured out a little, ten floors, aren't the people who built this place afraid of collapse.
The two guards were dressed in black, and they didn't look very conspicuous in this underneath the diminutive street, and they each held a spear on either side of the passage like two door gods.
Gülen walked up to the two of them, green light spilling out from behind him, and four thin green wings emerged like cicada wings.
This is the first time Lan Xin has seen Glenn's wings so closely, and it is from the back, Glenn's spirit wings are not as real as Lan Xin thought, it is not a real wing that directly penetrates Glenn's clothes, it is only a short release of spirit wings, and after a few seconds, Glenn retracts the spirit wings, and the clothes behind him are still intact.
Lan Xin actually wanted to try the touch of Glenn's wings, the soft touch of butterfly wings, the slightly sticky crispness of dragonfly wings, and the smoothness of the feathers of various birds.
As if the permission had been passed, Gülen took Lan Xin into the passage and went down to the seventh floor, and Glenn said a word as he walked.
"Be careful, someone is following us. ”
