Chapter 266: Another Main City
Genius remembers "Love β Γ· Little" in a second to βprovide you with wonderful novel reading.
Unlike Wells, Kate's territory is relatively deep into the barrier, and it is not in contact with the edge of the barrier, and the whole area is crossed by a high mountain that almost spans the territory, and there are few plains, and even the main city here is located on the high mountains. γζβε»β³ε°βθͺͺβ³ηΆ² Qu γ
Beneath the rolling mountains lay scattered villages, where the people reclaimed as much land as they could to grow food, but kept as far away as possible from the few areas where dangerous beasts might exist.
Although the mountain peaks were clearly visible in the distance, the middle part of the journey still took Lynch and his party a long time, and they also passed by a few small villages, and the crowds and smoke seemed unusually quiet and peaceful under the rising sun.
It was already noon when we reached the bottom of the mountain.
In order to get to the top of the mountain, or the city on the mountain, Lynch and the others had to spend some time walking around the foot of the mountain. There are many roads to the top of the mountain or to the city, but there is only one that can accommodate a horse-drawn carriage to go up together.
An elevator.
At least it looked like an elevator, but it was undoubtedly a rune artifact.
At the foot of the hill gathered a lot of people like Lynch, who were carrying their own carriages to the main city or over the mountains, and they all crowded the relatively wide roads of the town, locked themselves in spacious and luxurious carriages, waited in silence, and slowly moved forward, towards the dark cave ahead.
With the reins in one hand, Lynch sat outside the carriage as a driver, playing with a few silver coins that York had given him as a reward, waiting for the staff who walked through the gap in front of him to collect the payment for the use of the elevator.
Everyman.
Even in a slightly cramped environment and a slow change of people at the top, some of the things that should be developed will still be very perfect in thousands of years - or a little better, after all, not many people will focus too much on improving people's livelihood and cheap life.
Lynch didn't try to scan the crowd with his senses, he was just observing with his own eyes, and Lily in the carriage seemed to be much more interested in all of this, Lynch could slightly sense that the little girl was using her senses to quietly probe the elevator runes around and beyond, but her perception seemed to have been somewhat enhanced and not easily noticed.
"Sir," the staff member in a white robe with a strange pattern on his chest walked to the side of Lynch's carriage, and the owner of the young voice raised his head slightly, looking at Lynch sitting on the carriage platform, and his voice was a little nervous: "Please...... Well, pay the fee to get to the main city. β
Lynch wore a hood and didn't let his face show: "How much do I have to pay?"
I don't know if it's because of his young voice, the toll collector is obviously much more relaxed: "Is it your first time coming to Kate?"
"Yes," Lynch responded, "is there anything to be aware of? We won't be here for long." γζβε»β³ε°βθͺͺβ³ηΆ² Qu γ"
"There is something to be aware of," said the young man, and his voice gradually became fluent, "Due to the special nature of Kate's main city located on a mountain, your carriage will not be allowed to stay in the main city, and our lord does not like the smell of these horse beasts. So your carriage will be transported up the ladder and taken to the nursery at the foot of the mountain, where it will be cared for until you leave. But rest assured, your carriage and horses will not be damaged in any way. β
"Oh," Lynch nodded, "That's right." How much do I have to pay?"
"Three silver coins. β
Lynch nodded, took out the remaining two silver coins from his pocket, and handed them to the youth.
He had five silver coins in all.
The young man took the silver coin from Lynch's hand, looked at him for a moment, nodded at him, and at the same time took out a card from his pocket and handed it to Lynch: "You can leave your rune mark on it, and it will be convenient to pick up the car when the time comes." β
Lynch took the card, and it felt like the pass Wells had given him, but he couldn't use it.
He knocked on the window behind him.
The window opened, revealing Perrisius's face from within.
"Do any of you have access to this?"
"I can!" exclaimed Pericius, "Sister Lily, too!"
"Then give it to Lily. Lynch said, handing the card in his hand. After a while, the card was handed out again, and a complex silver mark flashed on the pure black card, and then disappeared, and Lynch would not look at what was written on it, because he could not read it.
The young man asked for the card and pasted it on the carriage. The cards gradually dissolve on the surface of the carriage.
"Alright. The young man said to Lynch, "Have fun." β
Lynch thanked him, and then followed the convoy into the dark cave.
From time to time, the smooth walls around the cave would faintly flicker with blue bands of light, and soon, in this seemingly relatively wide circular space, it was crowded with waiting carriages, and in this dark environment, the voices of people unconsciously lowered and whispered.
Lynch looked up and looked up, and could faintly see the white sky, but it was very high.
Then he felt a noticeable tremor in the space here, and the horse beast snorted uneasily.
Then there was a dull sound, and the ground began to rise slowly.
......
At the junction of the barrier and the dark fog outside, there will always be monsters wandering around with a desire for the breath of humanity inside. The barrier perfectly isolates everything from the outside world, but at the same time, the light from within the barrier does not affect the black mist at all.
Separated by a barrier of almost no thickness, but extremely hard, the environment on both sides is almost worlds apart, one side is thriving, lush vegetation, and colorful dotted the world, while the other side is only monotonous black, endless darkness, and silent monsters.
and a huge castle like a mountain.
A man dressed in pale gray robes, clearly dressed as a mage, stepped out of the barrier, wearing a white mask, revealing only his two eyes, and holding an ornament around his neck in one hand.
White light spilled from the fingers he held the ornament, and faint ripples appeared around his body, blocking the erosion from the black mist.
He cautiously scanned his surroundings, but instead of walking in the direction of the castle, he changed the other direction and walked slowly.
He was instructed to keep an eye on the castle. Then report everything he knows and sees to a mysterious superior who has never shown his face.
The faint ripples blocked the black fog at the same time, but also made the surrounding monsters ignore this person, under the cover of the black fog, he seemed to become the same as these monsters, and the white mask covering his face also seemed to give him great courage and calmness, so that he had to get close to some monsters, and he could remain calm when the other party's figure showed its form in the thick black fog.
Of course, if he could, he didn't really like that feeling himself. Reading, a better reading experience.
