Chapter Twenty-Nine—The Tower of Babel
When you enter the city gate, the impression is completely different from the outside of the city walls. If the city walls give the feel of a war city, it is a commercial city entirely.
People come and go on the street, different from what they imagined, there are all kinds of goods on the street, Huo Xingming originally thought that everyone relied on meat, but he didn't expect that there were a lot of vegetables on the street, but they were more expensive.
After walking around the street, the sky gradually darkened, Huo Xingming and Zixiao were going to find a hotel first, oh, this should be called an inn to rest for a while.
I found a relatively ordinary inn and asked for two small rooms. The mountain desk had given them fifty star coins before, but in the city, fifty star coins were not enough at all.
For example, if you stay in an inn for one night, a room will cost ten stars. After eating a meal, just ordered a few cheaper dishes, and it cost fifteen stars. It can be said that Huo Xingming and the others spent all their savings as soon as they entered the city.
But it's all worth it, Huo Xingming and Zixiao stayed in the forest for more than half a month, lived in the inn, and felt alive as people for the first time, and finally didn't sleep against the tree, but lay on the bed, Zixiao took a good bath in the inn, and went back to his room to sleep.
And Huo Xingming didn't go to sleep, he stood at the window and watched the people outside go to the night market. There were obviously more people in the evening than in the morning, and I didn't look closely at the crowd when I first came in.
Huo Xingming was very strange, most of the people here were smiling, and occasionally a few gorgeously dressed people greeted ordinary civilians, everyone seemed to be relatively harmonious, and there was no bullying of ordinary civilians as the village chief of Mojia Village said.
And occasionally passing by a few sinister-looking orcs and beautiful elves on the street, ordinary humans did not show fear, but felt that they lived in harmony, and met a few acquaintances and talked and laughed.
After looking at it for a while, Huo Xingming sighed, "It's hard to imagine that people here would bully other people, everything looks so peaceful and noisy." ”
After observing for a while, Huo Xingming went back to sleep. He felt that he might be a little nervous, including when he entered the city gate today, he didn't want to walk in directly, but thought of other ways to come in, Zixiao was right, sometimes the more he thought about it, the more chaotic it became, it was time to let go of his mind and rest for a few days.
Huo Xingming and Zixiao hadn't felt the softness of the bed and the warmth of the quilt for a long time, and they slept until dawn before they were woken up by the shouting on the street, spent the last few star coins, and had a good breakfast, Huo Xingming and Zixiao left the inn. Zi Xiao also asked Huo Xingming, what should I do if I run out of money tomorrow? and Huo Xingming just replied: "Do you want to live comfortably for a day, or for three days?" So, Zi Xiao spent all the money and had a good meal.
They were going to go to the so-called Babel Organization first. After finding a passer-by and asking for the next way, Huo Xingming found the Tower of Babel very smoothly.
The so-called Tower of Babel is just a relatively large building, Huo Xingming took Zixiao and walked straight inside. There is nothing special about the decoration inside, the hall is very ordinary, only some necessary furniture, empty, only the front desk has staff standing, and there is no one else.
Huo Xingming even felt that he was in the wrong place, and what he heard from others was that the Tower of Babel should be a huge organization that dared to directly challenge the constellations. But in front of you is the appearance of a third-rate hotel that no one visits.
"Sir, are you here to find someone?" a staff member walked over to greet Huo Xingming and Zixiao
"No, I heard that this is the Tower of Babel, and the two of us are from a hidden family outside, and we want to join the Tower of Babel. Huo Xingming replied
"So, sir, are you ready to fight to the death with various constellations and sacrifice your life for mankind?" The staff looked at Huo Xingming respectfully, and the expression on his face did not change at all.
"I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean, our family has been hiding for hundreds of years and doesn't know much about what's going on here. ”
"Oh, I'm sorry, this is my rudeness, please come with me. With that, he took Huo Xingming and walked to the front desk.
The staff at the front desk took out two crystals, "Please put your hands on the crystals to maximize the output of star power." We need to confirm your strength. ”
Huo Xingming and Zi Xiao put their hands on the crystal, and according to what the staff said, they input all the star power into the crystal. But when their star power just touched the crystal, the crystal immediately shattered.
The staff showed surprised expressions, and the person who had just led Huo Xingming looked at them with a surprised expression, but immediately returned to normal: "It turns out that the two of them are masters, but I was negligent, please come with me to the VIP room on the third floor, and I will introduce our Tower of Babel to the two of you." With that, he walked upstairs and motioned for Huo Xingming and them to follow.
"Sir, you also know that there are eighty-eight mountains in the world, and each mountain has a demon, and we used to regard them as gods, as creators, and we used to fight side by side with them. Until a hundred years ago, there was a man named Shi Moyan who wanted to challenge the zodiac with a human body, and he was lucky to find the Taurus lord in the zodiac. ”
"Of course, Lord Taurus defeated Lord Shi Moyan with one move, but instead of killing Lord Shi Moyan, he told him that in fact, the eighty-eight constellations, including herself, are actually demons, and now they are planning to leave their territory, and once all the people break the seal, the whole world will be destroyed. Then, Lord Shi Moyan was sent out of the zodiac by Lord Taurus. ”
Speaking of this, the staff paused for a moment, and then said, "After Lord Shi Moyan returned to this city, he told the nobles and leaders the news, but most of the people didn't believe his crazy words, so he created an organization, which is our Tower of Babel. ”
"He tried every means to recruit star people, regardless of their strength, but no one was optimistic about them at that time, until thirty years ago, Lord Shi Moyan led more than twenty powers, and joined forces with Lord Taurus to lift the seal and bring Lord Taurus to our city, and all of us believed his words"
"Then all of humanity began to deal with the various constellations, and people from other races continued to join us, although we have not yet achieved any results, but the Tower of Babel will definitely fight the demons to the end, otherwise we will only usher in destruction. ”
Finally, I walked to the innermost room on the third floor, and the staff member opened the door to the room and made a gesture of please.
After Huo Xingming and Zixiao entered, the decoration in the room was different from the hall outside, the room was full of golden shining, golden sofas, golden wallpaper, and even the floor was golden, and the lights were turned on to make people feel particularly dazzling.
At this time, the door was suddenly closed, and Huo Xingming and Zixiao were locked in this golden room. Huo Xingming tried to open the door, but the door seemed to be locked, and he yelled two words outside, but no one responded.
