Chapter 41: The City in the Ruins

The early morning sun shines through the broken windows into the hall, and the zombies in the manor disappear at any time. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Tatsuno Makoto and the others left the rumored cursed manor in the morning sun.

Before leaving, several of them destroyed everything in the corpse witch laboratory. It's okay to keep these half-hung spells, but Tatsuno Makoto deliberately wants to erase the traces of his 10,000 years ago, so in Berlett's regretful gaze, all the books collected by the corpse witch were turned into ashes in the flames.

But the only thing that made a few people care was where the corpse witch found these things.

On the road again, Makoto Tatsuno's condition is obviously much better, and he occasionally joins in the conversation of several people. This made the owl and the illusionist extremely relieved, after all, no one wanted to face a cold face all the time.

"My dear big brother, our lovely little brother seems to have changed a lot after last night's conversation. The illusionist's voice came to the back of the owl's mind.

Ever since discovering his abilities, the illusionist has been talking to the Owl in this way from time to time. Although the illusionist's explanation is that he wants to exercise his abilities, Xiao thinks that he prefers this feeling of talking about Makoto Tatsuno in person, but Makoto Tatsuno doesn't know.

It seems that Ling Qi's words made him think a lot. This is a good thing, after all, these words are said by us, and Tatsuno Makoto will definitely not be able to accept them. With a smile on his face, Xiao glanced at Makoto Tatsuno, who was explaining martial arts to Ling Qi.

The illusionist followed the owl's gaze and looked at Makoto Tatsuno with some astonishment. Every martial art and spell formation can only be successful through continuous training and study. This is everyone's secret, and sometimes a research and development may take more than ten years, or even decades.

In particular, the martial arts and spells used by Makoto Tatsuno were honed in countless actual battles in time and space 10,000 years ago. Throwing a few tricks anywhere in the Federation can cause unimaginable consequences.

Now he told it all to the girl he hadn't known for a few days. And that girl is not a genius, the biggest possibility for Makoto Tatsuno now is to covet Ling Qi's beauty. Such a thought immediately crossed the illusionist's mind.

It seems that Makoto Tatsuno never taught anyone, including Lotus 10,000 years ago. What is so special about this girl named Ling Qi that can make Tatsuno Makoto so attentive? Xiao also muttered secretly in his heart.

"Therefore, the way of martial arts is not to pursue complicated moves, dodge the opponent's attacks, and let your attacks hit the opponent, this is the essence of martial arts. Makoto Tatsuno ended his explanation.

"It's not what I learned at the academy. My Martial Ember can attack several opponents at once. Tatsuno Makoto's words made Ling Qi very puzzled.

"Attacking is only about killing with one hit, what's the use of attacking several opponents at the same time. Spells are the most effective against multiple opponents. Makoto Tatsuno heard Ling Qi talk about her martial arts, and a look of disdain appeared on his face.

Is that also called martial arts? The flame fighting energy wrapped around the fist, splashing out a few sparks and burning non-stop, not to mention that it had little effect on the undead creatures, even if the opponent was a human, the effect was limited.

Looking at Long Yecheng's disgusted expression, Ling Qi was very unconvinced. His own martial arts skills are in the academy, although they can't be regarded as top-notch, but they are not weak. In his eyes, it seems to be very useless.

"You just need to concentrate on condensing the fighting qi according to the method I said now, although the flame attribute fighting qi cannot achieve my current effect, but it is not bad to burn the opponent's internal organs from the inside. ”

Regardless of whether Ling Qi wanted it or not, Tatsuno Makoto once again explained his method of condensing his fighting spirit. The owl and the illusionist both had a collapsed expression after hearing this, not to mention how this kind of secret could be easily told to others. Just imagining a delicate little girl, like Makoto Tatsuno, frantically rushing into the enemy formation and fighting with people, surrounded by human-shaped barbecue meat that is charred inside and tender outside, has made the two of them really not want to see that kind of scene.

Everyone walked and chatted, and slowly found that the crowd around them gradually increased, and a huge palace appeared in front of them.

The exterior walls of the palace are made of long cyan boulders, and there are two huge griffon sculptures in front of the door, which are mottled with time due to their age.

The palace appears to be only one floor, with a constant stream of people coming and going at the entrance. The happy faces should be those who have found valuable treasures, the newcomers who are full of hope who are ready to enter the ruins, and the ones who are full of sorrow and carry the corpses and wait for the priest to pray for the souls of the dead.

Makoto Tatsuno passed through the crowd and walked into the ruins. The sight in front of them made them stand in the doorway for a full minute, and it was not until the crowd behind them muttered in dissatisfaction with their blocking behavior that several people relented.

In the hall of the ruins, it was like daylight under the light of the magic crystal. The hall is lined with shops, taverns, inns, and blacksmith shops. Scrolls, snacks, arcane weapons, and all sorts of bizarre machines made by alchemists, everything you can think of or can't think of is here.

Several people even saw a temple with a healing room mixed in.

"This is the ruins?" the illusionist asked Belette with a blank expression, looking at the scene in front of him.

"It's the first time I've been here for this kind of large-scale ruin, it's really shocking!" Bellet was also at a loss.

The existence of ruins is not a secret in the Federation, and there are not a few people who have the courage and strength to explore it.

The ruins of Aurora City, where you can only find classics, will not attract many bounty hunters to explore, and even if there are bounty hunters, they are hired by scholars to protect themselves.

The ruins of Sakura Castle are different, and it is called an underground palace. Legend has it that before the Battle of Dawn, the royal palace of a country was located, and there were a large number of secret treasures in it. At the same time, the danger is also great, and the abyss monsters are everywhere, and it is rumored that you can even find intelligent races from the abyss here.

So, no matter which one you find here, it's enough to live comfortably in the Federation for a lifetime.

What's even more hopeful is that this place has not yet been fully explored. So, no one can say what other unknown valuable things are hidden here.

In this way, teams with a little strength and courage will come here, either to make a name for themselves, or to make a fortune in a muffled voice.

And no matter what the era, there will be no shortage of shrewd businessmen. Expeditions need to be resupplied and exchanged information, making it inconvenient to travel back and forth between the city and the ruins. Merchants and organizations that saw an opportunity began to set up shop in these ruins. Over time, in the ruins of this crowd gathering, it has become what it is now.

Cities like these can be seen in large ruins throughout the Federation. And the scale of the city in the ruins also directly reflects the hidden value of the ruins.

In the past, Berlet had been exploring in small ruins, such as underground palaces, and he couldn't hire bodyguards to come with him. Bringing a nobleman of the third type to this kind of ruin, he is either crazy or wants to die.

So the shock brought by the scene in front of him, Bellet is not weaker than others at all.

"Let's find a place to eat and rest. ”

Berlet's proposal was immediately agreed, and it was almost noon when he set out early in the morning. Eating is definitely the most important thing right now.

A few people found a tavern at random, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw a row of wanted notices on the wall. At least five of the people drinking in the tavern looked the same as the people on the wanted notices.

"I like this place, this time when we are hunted down by the continent again, we can come here!" In the minds of Makoto Tatsuno and Xiao, there was a voice of surprise from the illusionist.

"Get out!"

Bellet suddenly heard Makoto Tatsuno scolding, and was a little puzzled in his heart. This guy is crazy again, but then he saw the illusionist snickering on the side, and immediately guessed something in his heart. These three guys usually seem to scold each other in addition to raising the bar, but when there is really something, they unite as if they are alone, maybe this is the friendship they have always wanted.

The city in the ruins, a land of utter lawlessness, is what the superficially prosperous and stable Federation really looks like.

This place may really suit you, although Tatsuno Makoto disagrees with the illusionist's statement, but he has a strange sense of identity with this place.
