Chapter 401: The City of Jewels (Part I)
The warm breeze is gentle, the sun is warm, the verdant trees are swaying in the wind, the edges of the leaves reflect the faint golden light, and thousands of pieces are swaying and undulating, like a series of dancing gold threads. A few golden butterflies flew freely and curiously in the woods, and the white clouds in the sky flowed slowly, intertwining with the huge rainbow to form a beautiful aerial scenery.
Ulysses wandered through the path in the woods, following his orders to scout the surrounding golden butterflies that had reported a series of messages to him.
There were several paths in the forest, and a simple log cabin had been built near a small pond. The cabin had cured meats and fruits, as well as a few notebooks, and it was obvious that someone had been there recently.
All of this shows that this faraway land is not a world of no one, nor is it a world as barren and war-filled as the land of steel outside.
There is life here, a lot of life, and because of the relationship of having a lot of vitality, the plants here grow exceptionally luxuriantly, and some small animals are also very energetic. The only strange thing is that Ulysses didn't see a single carnivorous movement, let alone a large beast like a tiger and a wild boar, not even a small fox.
It stands to reason that if predators are overhunted, the number of herbivorous small animals will increase horribly, eventually causing the entire ecosystem chain to break. This was not the case at all, and all sorts of critters roamed freely through the woods, several times running directly past Ulysses' feet.
It can be seen that these little guys are not the slightest wary of humans, not only are they not afraid, but they will take the initiative to come up when they smell a certain breath on Ulysses, and then rub happily on him.
If it weren't for Ulysses' rejection of their arbitrariness, I'm afraid he would have all kinds of critters hanging on his body by now.
This world is inevitably too peaceful. Looking at the little animals that are not wary of humans, Ulysses can only sigh at the wonder of this world.
This kind of world full of miracles can probably only be created by a fantasy species with unique powers like the immortal Phinicos. Ulysses, who had made love with the immortal Finnicos more than once, was sure that the immense vitality that permeated the forest and the entire world was the unique aura of the immortal Finis.
Although I don't want to admit it, this kind of technique doesn't seem to even be able to do it by Binghuang's mother. The power of the immortal Finikes is clearly better suited to creation than combat.
When Ulysses walked out of the woods completely, he was already followed by a string of heels, the most beautiful of which was a bit like a collection of rabbits and squirrels, with a snow-white and soft body, two white velvet bands with slightly pink tips hanging down to his feet, kitten-like pointed ears, and a fluffy and fluffy tail.
What's even more surprising is that there is still a pair of transparent rings that shimmer with crystal light hanging on the pair of white velvet belts, obviously there is no contact point, but the pair of rings is so easy to hang on the pair of white velvet belts without falling off.
Obviously, it was a special magical creature, and it was something Ulysses had never seen on the Bestiary. Although there is only a general description of some monsters in the Warcraft Illustrated Book, they are all legendary monsters like Hydra without exception, and it is impossible for such an incomparably cute and harmless little thing not to be recorded.
In other words, this cute little animal with a soft whole body and white powder is a specialty only found in this distant place.
It had little red eyes as cute and pitiful as Lulu the rabbit, and looking at its pitiful appearance, Ulysses finally took it with him. And this little guy is also very well-behaved and obedient, and has made a home directly on Ulysses's shoulder.
After stepping out of the woods, the city, which seemed far away, suddenly became closer. Around the city are large gardens, which are well cared for, and both roses and tulips shine brightly in the sun.
As Ulysses approached the city, he finally saw the inhabitants of this world for the first time. However, at the same time, his face changed, and he hid directly in a field of flowers beside him.
Because, he is decisively different from the people of this world, if he walks over like this, I am afraid that everyone will know that he is an anomaly.
Judging from the appearance alone, the humans living in this world are almost no different from the outside world, with the same variety of hair colors and eye colors, and many people are also black hair and black eyes like Ulysses.
However, they had one more thing than Ulysses, and that was an extra gem in the center of their foreheads. It wasn't a decorated gem, it was a part of their body.
That gemstone has a fascinating color that can not be easily imitated by any gemstone, and it is a magnificent color that only a truly high-quality gemstone can have.
"It's terrible. Ulysses rummaged through his dark dimension with some headaches, he had no interest in gems and other decorations, so he barely collected such purely decorative gems, and it was impossible to get through the tricks.
There are many magic gems of all kinds of noble dead, and they are high-grade gems refined to resurrect Yuria. But this gem is clearly something very different from the ones on the foreheads of the inhabitants of this city. The gems possessed by the people here have no magical powers, all of them are pure high gems, and there is no trace of being contaminated by magic.
After searching and searching, the closest thing Ulysses finally found to that kind of gem was actually something that he had almost forgotten, that is, the crystal tube he gave him after the war with the king of destruction, Nobel.
At the beginning, he didn't know much about identifying gemstones, so he didn't realize that this was actually an extremely rare crystal art carved from some kind of high-priced gemstone, which was worth enough to buy a city.
Even among the many gems he collected to resurrect Yuria, there was no gem more precious than the Immortal Mythical Gem and the Mermaid's Tears.
Now, it seems, is when it can come in handy.
"Thank you. After thanking the elder who had turned his enemies into friends, Ulysses quickly turned the crystal tube into a truly perfect gem.
Then, with the healing hand of silver, Ulysses set the gem into his forehead in a somewhat painful way. In this way, he looks exactly like the natives here.
