Chapter 54: The City of Darkness (Part 1)
Lin Zhong wore a black robe and walked on the streets of the Night Capital.
The Northern Talon Empire is located in the far west of the elven world, and the Night Capital is on the edge of the West, where it is surrounded by a vast ocean where the humid sea breeze reigns all year round.
The City of Nights is called the City of Night because the daylight hours here are extremely short, and the night occupies nearly two-thirds of the time.
At this moment, it was already dark, and the shops in the neighborhood were hung with strange fish-shaped lanterns, dark yellow light floated out, and crystal nematodes kept floating.
"This is the Adventurer's Guild, and it should be possible to issue quests. Lin Zhong looked up.
A towering black building appeared in front of him, like a bell tower, with a strange triangular clock hanging at the top.
The hands of the clock are blood-colored and covered with a dark yellow pattern that resembles a shark.
The wooden door is burgundy and is made of the dragon tree, a specialty tree of the Night City, and is covered with fine green dots, and the texture is extremely good.
Pushing open the wooden door, many adventurers in different costumes gathered here, with different professions and races, but the only thing they had in common was the thirst for money.
Standing at the bar stood a green-eyed female elf with a black leather collar around her neck, and her figure was excellent, especially her towering breasts, which were the size of watermelons.
"I want to post a task. Lin Chong walked to the bar and whispered.
"Oh, what mission?" the green-eyed female elf smiled, staring at Lin Zhong's strong body with a curious look.
"Look for the Eclipse of the Nightweed, a thousand years. Lin Zhong said lightly, taking out a black rose pattern card.
"Rothiel?" the green-eyed female elf was slightly stunned.
"No?" Lin Zhong pushed the black card towards the green-eyed female elf.
"Yes, but the Night-Eclipse Grass has been gone for a long time, and even the nobles don't have it in their collections, I'm afraid it's hard for anyone to have this kind of thing, and even if the task is issued, no one will take it. The green-eyed female elf said lightly.
"Really?" Lin Zhong frowned, the Night Eclipse Grass was an important material for him to improve his bloodline, and other materials were almost irreplaceable.
"Well, but you can try it if you want to release it, and maybe someone will be able to follow suit. The green-eyed female elf said with a smile.
"Okay, let's try it. Lin Zhong said, thinking about the clues of the Night Eclipse Grass.
"Thirty million fars, equivalent to the Myron of our empire, is almost sixty million Myron. The green-eyed female elf said, putting away the black rose-patterned card.
"Well, that's all counted. Lin Chong said lightly, he didn't have any greed for money here, because these things were worthless to him.
"Okay, I've posted the quest, this is the quest card, if someone picks up the quest and completes it, the color on the card will turn green, you can come to us.
If no one picks it up within three months, you can pick up the coins from us, but you will be charged a 10% fee. The green-eyed female elf explained.
"Got it. Lin Zhong waved his hand to put away the blood-colored card, and silently walked out of the Adventurers Association.
Things weren't as easy as he thought, and he needed to find two other ingredients besides the Night-Eclipse Grass.
"I hope it can be soon. Lin Zhong muttered to himself and came to a hostel in the neighborhood, this hostel is called Filstu Hostel, and the decoration and facilities are extremely clean.
He looked out the window at the view of the night capital, and found that the night scene here was also very distinctive, with the dark blue moon covered by a thin layer of purple mist.
The light reflected is colorful, shining on the strange buildings of the foreign country, and there is an inexplicable flavor.
"Nights are always exciting. Lin Chong smiled slightly, but suddenly felt a strange aura coming from not far away.
"Huh? This seems to be the power of a witchcraft. Lin Chong's body suddenly weakened.
A long black line cut through the night, and the streets were full of colors, and a figure like the wind flew towards a remote corner, bringing a strange sound of wind.
The pedestrians on the street only felt phantoms flashing in front of their eyes, and the clothes on their bodies floated strangely, making their faces have a surprised expression.
Lin Zhong came to the front of a huge mansion, which was sparsely populated, but there were a few soldiers in iron armor guarding the vicinity.
The strange power in the witchcraft became more and more obvious, and he squinted at it, finally understanding where it came from.
I saw that one side of the villa window opened outward, and from the black velvet curtain, a fair-skinned and slender figure popped out, it was a white-haired and white-eyed female elf, holding a black-covered book in her hand.
On the cover of the book is written "Notes of Khedirao" in dark gold wizard script, and in the bottom corner there is a unique Ouroboros pattern of the Witch Society.
"What is this place, and who is that woman?" Lin Zhong wrinkled his nose slightly.
With the powerful five senses brought by the dragon's blood, he smelled the extremely special smell of the female elf, which was an extremely noble aroma, and the white silk robe she wore was also expensive, and the fine workmanship was breathtaking.
The white-eyed female elf has a slender white copper ring on her left thumb, which is also engraved with dense wizard texts, and this woman seems to have an extraordinary background.
"How can there be wizards in this world?" Lin Zhong was slightly startled.
Moment.
The white-pupiled female elf gently swept towards Lin Chong's location, and a hint of surprise appeared in her pure white pupils, and a strange power fluctuation surged.
The eyes of the two met in mid-air, and they both saw each other's amazement, and also felt how strong the other's strength was.
"It turned out to be a wizard's apprentice, but there seemed to be other powers in her. Lin Chong bowed slightly, he seemed to have met a very interesting elf.
A blood-colored streamer began to rise on the white-eyed female elf's body, her body floated down from the window, and the soldiers hurriedly ran in and knelt down: "Your Royal Highness Princess Wei'er, where are you going?"
"See an interesting man, he has come, you go and open the door. Wei'er said lightly, her voice was extremely crisp and beautiful, and there was a feeling of softness.
The soldiers were a little confused, but suddenly they saw a tall figure appear in front of the iron gate, and the pale skin under the robes could be faintly seen.
Although the soldiers were extremely puzzled, the princess's order did not dare to disobey, so they opened the black fence iron gate and led Lin Zhong in.
