Section 865 The Shadow of the Peace Tower
If it were just a tightly guarded entrance, Ingres would have turned on the boundless silence with all his might, and no one would have noticed.
But Angell noticed that there was an energy membrane at this entrance. As long as there is a living creature entering, it will cause a fluctuation in the energy membrane.
"The energy membrane aside, there are actually transcendent guards?" Ingres looked at the two merfolk behind the door, his eyes flashing with surprise.
He was hiding in the shadows of a room in the corner, and he patted Bray, "What the hell is going on inside, why are even the transcendent being sent out as guards?"
Bray: "The construction of the waterless area was actually done by some transcendent people in the Prosperous Continent. Because of the value of mermaid shellfish, many wizarding organizations and wizard families have set up a presence here, just to buy mermaid shellfish at a low price. Therefore, there are many transcendents gathering in the waterless area, which can basically be regarded as a miniature wizard bazaar. β
With the wizard's pursuit of profit, mermaids and shells do have this value.
In any wizard's bazaar, the work of the guards is performed by transcendents. When you think about it, it seems to make sense.
But because it was guarded by transcendent beings, he couldn't blend in with ordinary methods.
"Is this your master's plan, not even a voucher?" said Angels.
Bray looked taken for granted: "In the past, when the master brought me over, he used the plane to directly use the plane to sandwich the waterless area. The voucher outside is not needed at all. β
Angle, too, knew that Bree's answer would be so, and ignored Bree's chatter, instead observing the entrance to the waterless zone, thinking about how to enter.
Or do you just break in?, and then turn on the gravity vein, walk faster, even if the guards find out, they won't be able to catch up with his speed...... Angel thought to himself, feeling that this plan was quite feasible.
However, just as Ingres made up his mind to break in, he saw a group of merfolk on the main road, and at the front was a swaggering black-tailed fat mermaid.
Two catfish-like black whiskers, swinging around, a bit of a water. Because his cheeks were too fat, his eyes were also narrowed into a slit, and he was covered with golden ornaments, which looked a bit of a vulgar sense of deliberately showing off his wealth.
Angels noticed him because he had a voucher in his hand.
Looking at the voucher, Ingre's eyes narrowed slightly.
Half an hour later, Ingres swaggered with his voucher and entered the waterless zone. However, at this time, his appearance was transformed into the appearance of the mermaid just now through transfiguration.
And the mermaid himself, at this time, was indulged in a fantasy full of beauty outside, unable to extricate himself.
Ingres himself wouldn't be with Lloydes for too long, and he would leave when he got something. Therefore, he decided to "borrow" a voucher without anyone knowing, and then return it when he left.
As for the mermaid, it is not a loss, the beauty is boneless, and the spring is boundless, especially the beauty constructed by the illusion technique, the simple touch can make him excited and dizzy.
I'll give you a wonderful spring dream, and the price is to borrow a few hours of vouchers, what a reasonable deal. Ingres thought to himself.
Waterless area. It's more like a land city, crisscrossed by buildings with brilliant and bright colors, and if it weren't for the corals and shells lining the streets, you wouldn't have imagined that this was at the bottom of the sea thousands of meters below.
The races in the waterless zone are also a complete hodgepodge as Bray said, with a lot of humans and non-marine humans, and the merfolk here also have a distinctly aristocratic temperament. - Because only the mermaid nobles will deliberately refrain and forbid to feed on humans.
Ingres found a shadow, changed his appearance, and then walked out as a human.
Although there are many humans here, Ingres turns on the boundless silence just in case, weakening his presence. Then he asked Brie, "Where is the Ash Time Caravan you said?"
"You go to the Abyss first. β
"Where is the Yuan District?"
Bray pointed to the very middle of the waterless zone, where there was a tall white tower built like a hanging garden, which was the landmark of the entire waterless zone, "The abyss is in the shadow of the Peace Tower. β
The symbol of the waterless zone, the Peace Tower, is a tower built by the Rogue mermaid royal family, symbolizing the peace and unity of all races. But ironically, there is no real peace between people of many races, let alone interracial.
Humans, in particular, almost every human who sees the Peace Pagoda will explain the empty "dream of peace" to those around them with a sneering attitude.
Ironically, in the shadow of the Peace Tower, lies the largest and most chaotic dark trading area in all of Roydes, the Abyss. In the abyss, power is worshipped, and death, fear, and sin are pervasive in this area.
Therefore, many residents who live in the waterless area have another nickname for the abyss area: the Tower of Sin.
The Tower of Sin is the "real", and the Tower of Peace is nothing more than a whitewash of the peace.
When Angel stepped into the abyssal area, he immediately felt the change in the atmosphere, not to mention the even stronger bloody atmosphere, just the blatant killing and robbery not far away made Ingres's eyes gradually deepen.
It was a junior apprentice, and it looked like he was supposed to be at the top of the first level. Holding a bag made of fish skin in his hand, he hurried out of the abyss, but just when he was still a few steps away from the light, a burly man in a green vest descended from the sky and kicked him back to the abyss.
"Boy, you want to leave the Tower of Sin without giving something, you are too naΓ―ve to think about it. The burly man clenched his fists and walked towards the apprentice step by step.
"Give to ...... Here you go. Due to the disparity in strength, the apprentice shrunk and handed his pocket to the burly man.
"Quite familiar. The burly man took his pocket, examined it, but did not leave, but moved closer to the apprentice.
"I can guarantee you leaving the Tower of Sin, but that's not enough. The corners of the burly man's mouth hooked up into a bloodthirsty smile.
After a scream, the apprentice's head was thrown out of the Tower of Sin, but his body was casually thrown into the trash by the burly man. When the others looked over, he said in a flirtatious tone, "Look, I did what I said." There's always a part of his body that leaves the Tower of Sin, isn't it?"
The scene that happened in front of me was just the daily life of the Yuan District. No one cared about the dead apprentice, no one condemned the burly man, and there were even many people who jumped on the roof to watch the corpse while he disposed of the body.
The level of evil and chaos here is beyond Ingres's imagination.
Ingres looked back at the Peace Tower, where he could still hear the gentle singing, and at the evil that was happening in the shadows, and finally understood why everyone was sarcastic about the Peace Tower.
Where there is white, there is black. The boundary between white and black has always had a gray area, but there is no such zone in Lloydes, and black and white are so distinct that they are outrageous.
At this time, the burly man who had finished disposing of the apprentice's corpse walked towards the road with the harvest, and when he was halfway there, he bumped into Angell, who was standing still.
"Hey, there's another person here?" the burly man just thought that he hadn't paid attention before, and when he saw Angel, he looked him up and down.
"The energy aura is very weak, and it should be a first-level apprentice. The burly man pondered for a moment: "There is nothing on him, is it the chick who came in for sightseeing?"
When the burly man was thinking about whether to deal with the person in front of him, Angel glanced at him lightly and walked towards the depths of the abyss.
The burly man glanced in the direction where Angel was going, where was the trading area?
His eyes suddenly lit up, and he whispered to himself: "I'm going to put a long line, hoping to catch a big fish." β
With that, the burly man did not hide it and strode after Angels.
The burly man thought that his voice was very small, but with Angel's current physical strength, even if he didn't need to deliberately perceive it, he could easily hear the sound of insects dozens of meters away, not to mention that the burly man was only five or six meters away from him.
"Fishing? Who catches whom, maybe. Flying high in the air, Bray looked at the burly man's behavior, and there was a hint of interest in his eyes.
The burly man followed Angel and soon arrived at the trading area. He didn't notice it at all along the way, and everyone except him didn't seem to see Ingres, but it was his strange behavior that attracted the attention of some people.
When he came to a dark alley, Ingres paused and looked at the sky.
Bray was hovering around here, indicating that the location of the Ash Hour Caravan was inside.
Angel glanced at the burly man behind him with his peripheral vision, and walked into the dark alley without hesitation.
At this moment, the burly man finally had some doubts in his heart, but it was not because of Angel's gaze, but because he looked at this deep alley. Not long ago, he had heard that the ruins of this alley had a caravan called Ash Hour, and they had a lot of excellent goods, but few people could afford them.
The person he followed entered the territory of the Ashes Time Business Tour, could it be that he wanted to buy something in the Business Tour?
If that's the case, he's definitely making a lot of money after snatching!
However, the person who can buy the things of the Ash Time Business Brigade should have a good background, and if he does something to it, will he cause trouble, which is also where the burly man hesitates.
After thinking about it for a while, the burly man decided to follow.
If he really succeeds in this vote, he will not lose money. Even if there is really a problem, with the strength of his second-level peak apprentice, it is enough to suppress it.
After making sure that the burly man had followed, Angel continued to walk into the dark alley.
As he reached the end, Ingres saw a cluster of ruins in the distance. While seeing the ruins, he also saw a group of people wearing black cloaks, standing in the middle of the ruins, near the iron cages.
