Chapter 80: The Real Atagaon Holy City
After the illusion space formed by the Surman Enchantment Circle was destroyed by himself, stepping on the flying sword that emitted a faint blue light, Wang Xu hovered in mid-air, he frowned fiercely, tightened his mouth, and looked down at the entire land with a solemn face, because a new world appeared there.
He saw that below there were still the ruins of a dilapidated ancient city that had been weathered by time in the torrent of time, and below was an intact mega metropolis.
The tall city wall surrounding the entire giant city, standing there intact, not stained by any piece of moss, nor leaving a trace of ancient vicissitudes, it is just like when it was just built, quietly looking down on the earth, all the bluestones on it, all stacked together, making the entire city wall, there is a sense of impenetrable heaviness, coupled with its height of nearly 100 meters, so that Warren and others standing under it, even if they use all their strength to tilt their necks, they can't see the top of it.
On the kilometer-long city wall, there are sixty or seventy arched gates up to 50 meters high, each of which is composed of two heavy obsidian door panels, each of which is embossed with a hero of the ancient troll clan, and each hero poses in a heroic posture.
Wang Xu found that when the illusion barrier was destroyed by himself, the ancient city of Atagaon in reality was not that big, although it was too big to imagine himself, but this ancient city was not as large as it was in the illusion, large enough to cover several mountain ranges.
In reality, the ancient city is also very large, about the size of a small city on the earth, the city is built on a very complex terrain, the city center is on a high ground, the rest of the city, the terrain is relatively low-lying, in the northernmost part of the city, there is a large lake, the north of the lake, connected to several small rivers flowing down from the high mountains, the south side of the lake, leading to hundreds of two meters wide, high and low stone magic canals, these canals are used to provide water for the residents of the city.
Due to the complex terrain of the city, the altitude of the ground in different parts of the city is obviously different, so the city is covered with stairs paved with pale yellow granite stone slabs, which connect the ground at different heights in the city and facilitate transportation in the city.
The main road in the city, about ten meters wide, is paved with long strips of giant bluestone; the small roads in the city, about three meters wide, less than one meter narrow, probably only allow one person to pass sideways, all the paths, are paved with diamond-shaped yellow granite blocks; whether it is a big road or a small road, on both sides of the road, every ten meters of distance, there is a magic street lamp ten meters high, these street lamps are made of bronze one cast, the lamp pole is only the thickness of the small arm, the intricate floral pattern is engraved on it, the top of the lamp pole is installed with an inverted umbrella-shaped disc, the disc is cast under a circle of fist-sized circular bronze card slots, The card slot is full of first-order light system monster crystal nuclei, those crystal nuclei should have lit up with dazzling white light, but unfortunately, all crystal nuclei have lost their magic power and can't emit the slightest light, so, at this moment, all the magic street lamps are just decorations.
Most of the buildings in the city are two-story buildings with flat roofs, and these small buildings are made of pale yellow granite stones; some buildings are built like a small castle, which is made of obsidian stones, and there is a small courtyard around the small castle, and the courtyard is surrounded by a black iron fence, and above the fence are spikes that shine with cold light in the silver moonlight。
In the center of the city, there is still the square stone mountain that already exists in the illusion world, and on the top of the mountain is still a very flat large platform, and the platform mountain still stands the giant castle composed of various round towers, and the round full moon is hanging on the roof of the tallest and most "fat" minaret in the center of the castle, plus the strange sea of clouds rolling and surging like waves around the full moon, this scene makes Wang Xu feel that he seems to have seen the appearance of the classic vampire castle in the horror movie.
After all, this is a city that has been killed by the plague, and every vacant land in the city has erected a number of neatly arranged, arched stone tablets of different sizes and colors, and some of the corpses have not had time to be buried, so there is no stone tablet, they are wrapped in light gray burlap bags, and the bags are tied around a circle of hemp rope, and in this way, the bags of corpses are piled up into a mountain of corpses.
Mountains of corpses like this, everywhere in the streets, in the squares, on the roofs, by the canals, in the courtyards, some of the sacks of corpses have rotted, so that some of the mountains of corpses have even collapsed, and some of the sacks are not strong enough and are broken, so that some of the bones have long since leaked out of the sacks and are buried in the dust.
In addition to the corpses wrapped in sacks, some poor people, who did not even have time to be wrapped in sacks, died desolate by the roadside, at home, in the yard, by the river, in the lake, and on the steps......
Most of these corpses exposed to broad daylight did not decay into bones, but were dried into a dried corpse with different shapes, and judging from their death with their mouths open, their eyes glaring, and their bodies in the shape of "big", they must have been tortured in pain before dying desolately.
What made Wang Xu feel even more creepy was that he saw that near the ground in the city, there was a faint layer of white mist, and in the mist, he could vaguely see countless white translucent ghosts standing in a daze, these ghosts stood together in twos and threes, as if they were pouring out their great achievements when they were alive, and they seemed to be crying about the terrible pain they felt before they died!
What's even more strange is that the whole city is in a dim and treacherous, only the troll palace standing on the high mountain platform in the center of the city, from the wooden doors and windows carved with exquisite patterns, revealing a series of lights, there is a loud noise, there seems to be brilliant lights, lively, as if someone is holding a grand banquet in the palace.
The four Nilou girls all saw the miserable scene in the city below, their faces had unbearable expressions, their bodies trembled slightly, and even Zana and Nia's eyes were red and swollen, and the black towels on their faces were wet with tears.
At the same time, the four girls also saw the strange scene on the other side of the palace, and they all roughly guessed who was crazy in the brightly lit troll palace.
"Goliath must be in the palace, taking advantage of the perfect opportunity that her soul can't be separated from Cam's coffin, let's go and kill her, so that she can no longer do harm to the world!" Nilou turned to look at Wang Xu, with tears in the corners of her eyes, and said through gritted teeth.
"I'm not going," Wang Xu felt that since the illusion barrier had been broken by himself, it was okay to leave here quickly, there was no need to provoke a god, especially if he provoked that god, he would not get any benefit, and the act of provoking the plague goddess Goliath seemed a little silly, "While Goliath is not mad, let's leave quickly!"
"Well, aren't that minotaur and that human your friend, they were captured by Golia, and even have been killed, don't you want to avenge them?" After hearing Wang Xu's attitude, Nilou was a little annoyed, she wanted to be mad at Wang Xu, but after thinking about it, she felt that in this case, madness could not convince Wang Xu, so she thought of another way, that is, to persuade Wang Xu to save the two people who might have died a long time ago, in this case, Wang Xu would go with her to deal with Golia.
"No, for the sake of the two of them, to provoke a god, and as a result, it may be that so many of us have died, is such a stupid thing that normal people should do?" Wang Xu once again rejected Nilou's suggestion, pouting, squinting, and shaking his head at her slightly.
"Then do you want to watch Goliath continue to use the plague to mutilate living beings?" Nilou thought of another way, and raised the act of dealing with Goliath to the level of morality, and began to use the moral code of doing good and eliminating evil to convince Wang Xu.
"Cut," Wang Xu pursed his lips disdainfully, squinted at Nilou, and said in his heart, you just want to convince me with this little means, forget it, "Win the king, Survival of the fittest is the most realistic criterion in the world, the trolls are not Golia's opponents, they will be slaughtered by Golia, we don't need to go through this troubled water, just avoid her, killing her will not do us any good, in the future, if she really provokes me, it is not too late to kill her, anyway, she is not a fool, she should understand that she can't afford to mess with us. ”
Just as Nilou kept looking for a way, trying to persuade Wang Xu to go with her to deal with the plague goddess Golia, Zana on the side was also thinking about it.
After empathizing with the tears shed for the troll clan, Zana's heart suddenly became excited, she knew that there were tens of millions of corpses and bones piled up in the city below, if she could get those corpses and bones, and transform them into her own subordinates, then, whether it was her own undead magic strength or her own spiritual power, she could rise to a big level, and even, she might advance to a high-level necromancer saint, or directly become a low-level undead god god.
After thinking about all the benefits of the corpses and bones below, Zana decisively sided with Nilou and decided to stay here, she knew that if she wanted to get the countless corpses and bones below, she would have to kill Golia, otherwise, Golia would not look at herself to receive them.
Therefore, Zana also decided to kill Goliath first, she is not as direct as Nilou, she speaks so simply, she already knows something about Wang Xu's character, she clearly knows that Wang Xu is not the kind of reckless and impulsive person, he is very rational, A very wise man, it is not easy to fool, but he still has a weakness in being so wise, that is, he loves money very much, and if he wants to convince him, he must find enough benefits to impress him, and if he wants to risk his life to deal with Golia, then he must give him more benefits to make him lose his mind.
After thinking for a minute or two, Zana came up with a set of rhetoric, and then, she suddenly interrupted the conversation between Nilou and Wang Xu, raised her eyebrows at Wang Xu, blinked, and whispered, "I just thought of ......"
