Chapter 595: One Day Tour of Imprint City (2) (Ask for Recommendation Tickets!Ask for Monthly Tickets!)
Spreading out the map of the Seal City, one can see that the shape of this place is different from all the others. Of course, if you don't use a map, if you've seen Asimov's Galactic Empire or know anything about astrophysics, you can still look up and see what's unusual about Sigil City.
The city is like a tire without a hub, the city is built on an inner tube. At its center is a towering mountain called the Infinite Pinnacle, which rises from the ground and does not know where its tip leads. The city of Seals revolves around the Infinity Spike, using centrifugal force to simulate gravity and the angle between the block and the Infinity Spike to describe time.
Yes, different districts in the city of the Imprint City have their own different areas. And like those disorganized buildings, as long as they can take on the corresponding function, then no one will bother to develop a uniform standard for them. Residents here have become accustomed to timing with words such as "positive peak", "counter-peak", "apex", etc.
Aside from the three hours before and after the peak, the light of the Seal City was actually quite friendly to those light-sensitive creatures. There is no harsh sunlight during the day, but a cold glow similar to that emitted by a fluorescent lamp. During the counter-peak period, that is, the time of night that the material plane scallops are usually used to, the Seal City also has a "starry sky". It's just that it's not really a star, and if you have a keen eye to see it, it's actually the lights of another neighborhood.
From Quis's point of view, although this city does not have the scale of the city that often covers the entire plane like Bato Nine Prisons, it is indeed very large. Whether it is the capital city of the mortal realm of the material plane, or the super cities on the earth in the previous life of the young blue dragon as a reference, the scale of the imprint city is definitely not small.
In this way, unless you have wings or other means of flying directly over the Infinite Peak, it will definitely take some effort to cross from one block to another that is not adjacent. If someone wants to question it, for example, the lower realm demons basically have the ability to teleport spells, or the caster can open a portal or something. But this is Seal City, a city with an unknown number of light and dark portals, and it is definitely not a wise choice to teleport at will.
But fortunately, the big market that Quis and Puu were going to was not too far from the "Silver Tongue" they arrived. Because it is a place where goods are traded, it is best to be close to those who are stupid and have a lot of money in the vicinity of the Billy customers, so there are only three intersections between the big market and Billy Street. And Puu also knows many shortcuts, and he can always take Ques to "cut corners".
"Hey, Jamie Bikz!" walked to the side of the big market, and when he passed by a tailor's shop, Puu greeted the owner inside, and it seemed that the two of them still had some friendship, "How's the business lately?
The owner of the tailor's shop, a humanoid creature with four arms, stepped out and clashed his fist with Puu, while the other three arms were busy tattooing a shoulder tattoo with liquid gold. "Hey, man. Where have you been lately? You've given me a great idea to diffuse the dress, and I'd like to get you some more lavender. The Chigusa Cup also has that kind of herb, but you know, I don't dare to buy anything from him, that thing might have some strange effect. ”
"Wise choice," Puu nodded, "lavender with purple spots, isn't it? it's a new breed he grew out of the eggshell of the mother spider as a petri dish." When lit, the fragrance not only smokes clothes, but also induces vomiting. It's a good thing you didn't buy it, otherwise you'd be in big trouble. But that's okay, you can come to my store and buy ...... later."
Before their chat was over, a terrible commotion was suddenly heard in the distance. Quest followed the prestige, who would have thought that he would see a scene that could be called spicy eyes. It turned out that there was a half-sheep running naked. He jumped and ran, knocking over one makeshift stall after another, squeezing through the ladder at the boy's feet, and shouting, "Uli!"
By this time, Pu Wu had already put his hand on his forehead, "Damn, the embarrassing guy is here again," he pulled Queth and turned towards the alley on the side of the street, which was faster than a 100-meter sprint. It turned out that the half-sheep man who was running naked was his uncle Uli Chigusa Cup. Looking at him like that, Pu Wu knew that he must have tried some new variety of special potions.
Puwu, who felt that he couldn't hang on his face, didn't even have the idea of saying hello to the Uli Chikusa Cup. He took Quest to avoid the main road of the big market, which had been turned on his back, and turned left and right along the path, and soon came to the vicinity of a building in the big market. Unlike the rest of the market, it is very quiet.
Only a few humanoids with thin bodies and triangular beaks on their heads were cleaning the razor vines that covered the walls of the building. They are Dabas, and they are both servants and masters of the city of the Seal. These creatures only live in Gate City, and are nowhere to be found in any other plane. No Dabas would never leave the City of Imprints.
Based on this situation, some strong birds speculate that Dabas is nothing more than a manifestation of the metabolism of the organism of the Imprint City, which sounds reasonable, as it is these creatures that keep the city's infrastructure functioning. Most of the time, Dabas tinkered with the city of Seals – they fortified the drains and mausoleums under the streets, uprooted the overgrown razor vines, paved the cobblestones, and repaired the crumbling houses of the city. In the eyes of many, Dabas is nothing more than a mysterious and introverted worker.
But those people are dumbfounded. Growing up in the City of Seals, Puuko knew that Dabas represented the Lady of Pain, and they were in the service of the Lady of Pain. While they are indifferent to mundane crimes such as murder or fraud, Dabas will appear whenever anyone dares to destroy the City of Seals, or is plotting something about the Lady of Pain. At that point, they will resort to force, violently killing those who are disrespectful to the Lady of Pain, or banishing them to the deep aether and imprisoned.
In addition to this, Puu also knew that the Dabas were responsible for managing all the land of the Seal City. Most of the nerds will be deceived by the associations into leasing the right to use the land from the associations. But the half-sheep knew that it was not safe, and only after finding the management offices of Dabas in the various neighborhoods, reporting to them and buying them, could they obtain the protected land ownership.
