Chapter Forty-Four: Lancer, the City of the Lake

"The old man of the boatman told us so much, and we are not familiar with Lancer anyway, so it is better to ask the old man of the boatman to be our guide. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" said as Amasasia pulled out a small and delicate money bag.

The three of them got into the boat, and the old boatman untied the rope tied to the pier and rowed slowly towards the city of the lake.

Looking at the waterfall not far away, Ao Xingfeng was actually very worried about whether the old boatman would be washed down with the people and the boat.

In fact, in addition to the main block in the center, there are all kinds of buildings built in other places, the large buildings are generally in the Venetian style, and there are several huge statues of gods built at the gate of the main block, but I don't know which god it is.

"Wow, that's beautiful!" said Garlanord, lying on the side of the boat, looking at the city of wonders with curiosity like a child, even though he was a child.

"Hehe, there's even prettier, but you can't see it until you enter the main block. The old boatman said complacently.

The waterfalls upstream flow down from the drainage canals of the buildings built at the edges, and the buildings built on the edges of the waterfalls are truly intricate.

Although the city is beautiful, there are few pedestrians, giving it the strange feeling of an empty city, because it is really too quiet except for the sound of the boatman's oars paddling across the water.

"Since the undead are overflowing, there are fewer and fewer tourists visiting Lancer, many residents are hiding in their homes, and the streets are now devoid of pedestrians except for necessary purchases, and everyone is dead. The old boatman said distressedly, Lancer was the city that gave birth to him and raised him, and to him there was nothing to compare with the treasure.

"If I had done it before, I would recommend you to go and watch the water races that are unique to the city of lakes. But now, there are fewer people going to the special hot springs to take a dip, and it is a good idea to relieve the fatigue caused by a long trip. The old boatman said as he rowed the boat.

"Isn't this on the lake? Where did the hot springs come from?" asked Ao Xingfeng strangely.

"Little brother, Lancer, the capital of the lake, is not only famous for these buildings, but also many unexplained miracles here, such as the special hot springs I said. The old boatman squinted and laughed.

The old boatman pointed to the small island standing on the surface of the lake, and the rising heat was incompatible with the cold wind blowing around, and Ao Xingfeng couldn't wait to take a dip.

"And there, little brother, take a look, see if you can find anything unusual?" said the old boatman, pointing to a waterfall, with a childlike heart.

Ao Xingfeng originally came to play with the mentality of tourism, and after listening to the words of the old boatman, he was curious about the waterfall that looked very ordinary.

"This.... How is this possible?" said Ao Xingfeng in astonished surprise when he saw it clearly.

"That's one of the miracles, the Reverse Current, isn't it amazing?" said the old boatman.

"Indeed....." Ao Xingfeng rubbed his eyes, and found that he was really not mistaken, and couldn't help but feel that it was indeed very interesting.

From time to time there were exclamations on the boat, the old boatman smiled and stroked the white beard, since the flood of the undead, he had not chatted with people so happily for a long time, and the family also advised him to stay at home with peace of mind, now it is not safe outside, and he is afraid that the old boatman will encounter some dangerous person with three long and two short.

"Alright customers, now we're on the main block. The boat was moored on the shore, and the old boatman said with some disappointment.

"Grandpa, are you a native of here?" asked Amasasia, tilting her head.

"Yes, what's the matter?" replied the old boatman, who thought the little elven girl was cute, imitating Amasasia's tone.

"I don't think you have any other guests, so why don't you be our guide?" said Amastasha.

Many kind-looking old men were very pleasing to children, and the old boatman was one of them.

"Hehe, that's good, I'll just take you around the city. The old boatman didn't shirk it, tied the boat and went ashore, and took Ao Xingfeng and the three of them to start introducing various places of interest.

Although you can't see it when you're on the lake, the interior of Lancer is actually quite lively, compared to the outside world's fears, this place is like a paradise, most of the undead have the attribute of fear of water, and the lake capital has an innate natural advantage in defense conditions.

Although there are not many pedestrians on the road, it is not called a crowd of people, but it is by no means to the point of making people feel deserted, and in general it is a little lively.

Through the self-introduction of the old boatman, I learned that his name is Joseph, a native of Lancer, who has lived in this beautiful city for 72 years, this old man is definitely old in this world, due to war and various disasters, the life expectancy of ordinary people is generally not more than 50, but the 72-year-old man is still red-faced.

The city's prosperity can also be seen from this, and under the leadership of Joseph, Ao Xingfeng and his party visited interesting places such as the revolving corridor, the water wooden horse, the waterfall cable car, and so on.

In the midst of laughter, half of the sun in the sky is hidden below the horizon, and the red sunset covers the sky, which has a flavor.

"Grandpa Joseph, let's go to the special hot springs you mentioned, I've been itching for a long time and want to see it. Ao Xingfeng said rubbing his skin and rubbing his itch.

"Hahaha, okay, go back to my ship, I'll take you there. Joseph has not laughed as much as he has laughed in a day today, and sure enough, he is happiest when he leads outsiders to visit his hometown.

The characteristic hot springs, also known as hot spring islands, are not connected to the main district, but stand alone in the lake.

It didn't take long for Ao Xingfeng and his party to move on to Hot Spring Island, a beautiful island unlike any other place in Lancer, where the buildings are closely connected with evergreens throughout the year, and even though it is winter, the hot spring island is still full of birds and flowers.

The moment you step into the hot spring island, it is like entering another world, and the temperature is different from the outside world, because of the hot springs, the temperature of the island is pleasant, and Ao Xingfeng also took off the animal skin he was wearing, and he was wearing thin clothes just here.

"It's a paradise, not much worse than an oasis in the middle of a lake. Ao Xingfeng sighed, and the group of Garanord and Amasasia also felt the same way, after more than a month of wandering outside, all kinds of dangers in the outside world have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and only in such a calm and harmonious environment can the heart get real peace.

"Little brother, have you ever been to the oasis in the lake?" asked Joseph in surprise and curiosity, the reputation of the oasis in the lake is also very large, but due to the difficult journey and the fact that it is a stronghold of the Templars, it is difficult for ordinary people to visit this legendary beautiful island, but Joseph is also proud in his heart, the hot spring island can be compared to the oasis in the lake, which makes him feel like he is praising himself.

"Uncle Ao, tell us what the oasis in the lake is like~" Amasasia said coquettishly, when she was reading the literature at home, she had learned about the legend of the oasis in the lake, and all the descriptions called it paradise.

Ao Xingfeng simply recounted his experience in the oasis in the lake, Joseph and the two elves had golden eyes, obviously Ao Xingfeng's description was too beautiful, and Ao Xingfeng was still a person who personally set foot on the oasis in the lake, which was different from some documents taken through folk investigations.

"I'd love to go there and see it in my lifetime. Joseph sighed, but he knew his situation very well, not to mention that there was a flood of undead outside, even if it was peaceful outside, his body could not bear it if he had to pass through the harsh desert.

Ao Xingfeng couldn't help but feel a little sad when he heard this, this is the sadness of people living in troubled times, many places can't be seen once in a lifetime, they live in their birthplace all their lives, and their understanding of the outside world depends on the circulation of adventurers and the descriptions in books.
