Chapter 8: The Castle That Never Sleeps
With the help of Babur, the sea devil, the Ruby frequently alternated routes, avoiding the more dangerous seas and the lanes infested by sea executives, and it took ten days to reach the edge of the Caribbean Sea with ease. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
A little further west, the New World meets the North and South, and Shining City sits between the two continents. It is neither a federation nor an indigenous state, and is a dominion that is neutral by virtue of its current special north-south form.
Approaching the Caribbean Sea, Squidward thought about his friendship and sailed south with his free boat, sending them to the waters of the Southern New World, before waving his tentacles and diving into the sea with the gold he deserved.
Everyone watched the sea devil dive into the sea, and then set sail again, sailing all the way to the coastline of the southern New World, and drifting in the sea for three days, and finally saw the port near Flash City.
In the distance, in the misty sea fog, the water surface of the harbor shimmers like neon, and the white sails of the fishing boats disappear like seagulls. The barges that were moving like they were moving on the surface of the sea were blurry, and only little by little black shadows were moving. The gentle sea breeze brought a loud noise to the city, with the porter's slogan being the loudest. As the evening breeze blows through before nightfall.
Before docking, everyone made some simple preparations, first of all, they changed their appearance, and the few people brought by Yalei this time were too good-looking, and it was too easy to attract attention, so they had to dress up ordinary.
This was followed by sealing the weapons samples, sealing them in boxes and hiding them under the bottom of the boat with fishing nets. Since the black-haired knight's fear realm could still hold a few physical weapons, he picked a few small weapons to carry with him as the first sample.
Finally, I brought the goods under the guise of loading them on a large cart, no more, no less, and loaded six carts. After the Ruby docked, after completing the formalities and leasing a berth, he directly pushed the cart and swaggered into the port.
Due to the constant flow of cars to and from the city every day, the crowd swaggered through the city with goods without attracting any attention, thanks to Lydia's clever makeup skills - the most beautiful Lolo and Bruno have been ruined by her to turn the public face.
Kara and Goethe were paid a little better, all dyed yellow, dressed in a fashionable and unrestrained manner, covered with inexpensive but shiny-looking ornaments, and dressed as standard federal merchants.
Lydia was also unfazed by herself, wearing a bright red high-leg dress with elbow-length black gauze gloves and black stockings underneath the short skirt. However, because the legs of the female knight are really too long, others can reach the thighs of stockings, and at this time the wide lace only reaches the lower end of her thighs, as if she is wearing a pair of black socks that are over the knee.
This dress has turned a beautiful girl who is as pretty as a rose and as tall as a gladiolus into a smoky and charming girl, how to look at it and how it is not serious.
Yalei is perhaps the one who has changed the most, being set up by the female knight as a middle-aged nouveau riche with blonde hair and one eye, a fierce and cruel personality, and a tough black background.
In order to better set off the nouveau riche fierce temperament, Lydia prepared a special outfit for him - a red tuxedo over a white shirt, two black lanyards under the collar, brown leather gloves on the hands and feet, and round scalp shoes of the same color.
Everyone thought that the black-haired knight was the worst one, but after he looked in the mirror himself, he felt very funny, and said that if he reached this age, he would dress up as he did today.
After the six of them entered the port, according to the habits of the people around them, they temporarily hired a few porters, and they walked in front in horse-drawn carriages, and let them drag the goods to the trading market to settle their wages.
"According to the information given to me by His Majesty Caesar, the name of the warlord agent in Flash City is Liuko Sisa, who is an ethnic group of the Tower King Tingsiyu Empire, and is currently the boss of the Shining City Nightless Castle. After we sold this batch of goods and got the tax receipt, we went to him under the banner of going to Nightville Entertainment. ”
The "fierce and vicious" Yalei looked at the people in the carriage and deliberately lowered his voice and said.
"Shall we all go?" asked Lolo, who had a public face, raised his head and asked in a low voice.
"Let's all go, we don't have anything else to do until we contact him. ”
The black-haired knight lifted the curtain of the carriage and glanced out the window at the streetscape, and found that the city was indeed more luxurious, comparable to the second-tier urban areas of Gaul.
The streets are filled with people of all stripes and look like ethnographic museums, most of which are brown skinned aborigines with braided braids.
Among these aborigines, the men wore simple tunics that reached just above the knee and were covered with loose reddish-brown cloaks. The women wore long, nude-footed skirts, often with braided belts, and almost all of them wore hats, with folded strips of cloth mixed in their braids.
These can be seen from the eyes full of disgust and hatred, the attitude of the aborigines towards outsiders is not friendly, if it were not for the guards patrolling the streets, this place might have been renamed Bloodlight City.
I remember that after defeating Calf in the enclosed space, Duriel said that one of the demon heads, the Lord of Hatred, was reincarnated in the New World. It was clear from the mixed city in front of him that the Hate King had found the right place, and there was no better place in the whole of Atlasu to regain his strength.
After the people arrived at the market in a horse-drawn carriage, they quickly negotiated a deal with the best-selling goods, sold all the goods in their hands, and then changed to a luxurious carriage and went straight to the castle that never sleeps.
When night falls, rows of colorful kerosene street lamps light up the streets, and the whole city seems to be wrapped in seven-colored light, which looks indescribably mysterious and magnificent in the dark night.
Looking at this night scene, Yalei finally knew the origin of the name Flash City, and at the same time felt a little regretful, if the ship came a little later, he would have been able to see the sea view of the whole city.
"Guest, arrived. ”
The coachman spoke in a stiff Federal Rosevia accent and gave a loud reminder.
The Confederation is a country of immigrants and has a wide range of speakers, mainly Iberian, but also a large number of Rosevians. Therefore, everyone only needs to change the tone of their voice, and they can perfectly disguise themselves as federal merchants, and no one can detect unless they are interrogated by professionals.
After getting off the bus for a fee, everyone saw a wide marble staircase in front of them, and at the end of the climbing stairs was a dark green lawn, dotted with thousands of gorgeous flowers.
They walked briskly up the stairs, through the groves of trees that surrounded the lawn, and soon a towering, brightly lit stone fort came into view.
The stone fort was built at the beginning of the first century before when it was still on the outskirts of the city, and the view was surrounded by the bustling streets of the city. There are a row of lush citron trees, some of which are blooming and some of which are already bearing fruit, and the green shade looks refreshing.
In front of the courtyard is a fountain made of white marble with delicate carvings. It is a white statue of an angel, supported by a round pedestal, standing in the center of the pool, spraying water into the air. The water splashed down from a high place, like raindrops hitting the crystal pool, and only a pleasant sound could be heard.
The exterior of the courtyard was quiet and solemn, there was no noisy scene, and the vermilion gate with a mandala pattern was tightly closed.
The two columns of guards in black uniforms stood staring at each other, the bulging muscles of their bodies almost bursting the fabric, and after everyone walked through the fountain and entered the courtyard, the two guards in front immediately stretched out their hands to stop them:
Please show your admission token. ”
"No, where can I buy it?"
Aree hugged Lydia's thin waist, twisted her neck, and said very arrogantly.
"Then I'm sorry, our Nightless Fort is a high-end club, only for members, you still have to wait for tomorrow morning to apply for membership, and then come after applying." The guard said politely.
"Don't talk nonsense, get out of the way! See no, what Lao Tzu has is money!"
The black-haired knight opened the suitcase he was carrying, pulled out a few stacks of brand new bills, and smashed them in the face - in a way, Areley had a talent for playing the bad guy, and when he got bad, he was really bad.
"That's a lot of money, pick it up!"
In front of the heavy money, the guards immediately tore up their dutiful masks and leaned down on the ground to pick up the banknotes. After picking it up, he immediately stood up with a smile on his face and said in another tone:
"We are aimed at important customers, and there is a fast track, you can come with us, it only takes five minutes!"
"That's what it sounds like. ”
Yalei snorted disdainfully, put his arms around his charming lover, and followed the guard into the side hall, and in less than three minutes, he walked back with a silver brooch.
The entrance token was symbolically presented, and the vermilion gate suddenly opened, and the blazing light rose like the sun, and with the opening of the gate, the light overflowed into the courtyard.
After the figures of the crowd disappeared into the light, the vermilion gate slowly closed, and when the last trace of the gap could no longer be seen. The dazzling light was also locked in the door together, and the inside and outside of the door were like two worlds.
The entrance opens into a narrow hallway with faint golden lights on the walls and soft carpets on the floor. It was so quiet that even the footsteps of the six were sucked away by the carpet.
After passing through the corridor and pushing open the soundproof door on the first floor, the noise suddenly slipped like a flood, and the lights in the hall shone like day.
The booths and stages on the venue are already occupied, and the hall is full of fiery vitality, but the dance floor in the middle is covered by a curtain curtain, adding a touch of mystery.
The dance floor was crowded with heads, hundreds of people swaying to the rhythm of the music in the same position, their hair fluttering in the lights.
"What are these things......" The black-haired knight and his friends were stunned.
Although they have been in the wind and rain and have not enjoyed a depraved and decadent life, they are undoubtedly part of the upper class society, and have seen the entertainment life of the noble ladies of Rosevia.
But the almost profligate way of pleasure like the Castle That Never Sleeps is still a bit beyond everyone's ability to accept, and the simple summary is that the other party is too crazy and a little unethical.
"I hate it here. Lydia hugged Are's arm and whispered.
"I hate the smell of ghosts here as much as you do, but bear with me for the time being, and find Lyuca Cissa's office as soon as possible, and we'll be free. ”
The black-haired knight commanded in a voice just loud enough for his companion to hear, then looked around and walked towards the spiral staircase in the northwest corner.
In front of the stairs stood two coolly dressed waiters, who looked exactly the same, and they were twin sisters.
The attendant on the right is wearing a delicate light blue lady's uniform, simple and capable, revealing a touch of charm, and a sweet smile like a mask on his face.
The waiter on the left has a cold expression, and his graceful figure is wrapped in a charming and slightly metallic shiny silver uniform, which is charming.
The clothes of the two of them are almost identical, the difference is that one is charming and the other is bright and beautiful.
The two of them are following the rhythm of the music, gently shaking their waists, and the delicate short skirts show full silhouettes. The slender snow-white thighs are round and tender, and a plush tail extends from the bottom of the skirt, adding a touch of alternative charm
This tail is not bad, it should be a good fit for Charlene.
The black-haired knight glanced at them, and imagined the green-haired girl wearing the same uniform, wagging her tail in front of her, and a smile that was both happy and ambiguous suddenly appeared on her face.
However, Yalei didn't realize what he looked like now, this face was even worse than when he had black lines on his face, even if it was a soft smile, it was full of malice.
In the eyes of the two attendants, it is a typical expression that is uncontrollable when they see the color.
Receiving some kind of wrong signal, the delicious body moved, and the graceful figure walked towards the black-haired knight, the plush tail swaying at the hips, as if Catwoman was walking on cat.
The two sisters threw themselves in front of him at the same time, their hands crossed and clasped, their two pretty faces clinging to everything, their eyes flickering, and they said in unison:
"Dear guests, do you need service, we are a value-for-money sister, five thousand for one person, eight thousand for two people. ”
“......”
The black-haired knight's expression was stunned, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and a playful smile hung on the corner of his mouth: "If you leave your post without permission during working hours, aren't you afraid that Liuko Sisa will be angry?"
"Hee-hee, we're not afraid, because it's our job to satisfy the guests in need. Sister Catwoman replied with a smile.
"One hundred thousand, how about you follow me for one night?"
As Yalei spoke, he lifted the suitcase in his hand, implying that he was not short of money.
"Yes!" they said, surprised.
"Then come with me now. ”
The black-haired knight opened the suitcase, took out a wad of money, and threw it to them: "Here is a deposit of 20,000 yuan, and if you accept the money, you have to wait for me after work, and you will decide the location." ”
"Okay, let's go ask the maître d'art for a break!" Sister Catwoman took the bill and looked at him with silky eyes. (To be continued.) )
