Chapter 5 Finalize the plan and enter the city

Follow the footsteps of the maiden in the forest, and in a short time, the jungle turns into a bush.

Green farmland is bordered by bushes, and the wind is stirring up waves of wheat in the distance, and in the distance is a rising city wall and the city behind it.

"There are two ways to survive in this catastrophe, both of which require contact with the plot.

The first way to survive is Akzam, who survived the battlefield in the backstory, which shows that it is relatively safe to follow him.

At the end of the story, he could have escaped from Acacia with Jax, with a master of weapons on the way, and his life was safe. It's just that he didn't want to leave, and was swallowed up by the void. ”

"I don't know if the second path will work, we can hide in Kieran's towers in the city, and when Kieran removes the towers from time after the Void erupts, we will be frozen in time, and then wait for the system to pull us away.

But I don't know if we were dead or alive in the definition of the system at that time, and the Eccians would definitely mobilize the whole people to fight, and there was a high probability that we would be caught up in the battlefield, so I didn't want to choose this path. ”

This is a big gamble, betting on whether you can survive in the face of the void on the battlefield, betting that the system determines that you are alive if you are not in time.

Losing a bet is more terrible than death - being transformed into a monster by the Void or frozen in time and space forever.

The brutal reality silenced everyone.

In silence, the crowd stepped out of the bushes and onto a field path.

On the roadside, an army of masonry, laborers, and sorcerers is building walls using magically induced winch machinery.

The pulley set engraved with magical runes slowly turned, pulling up the huge granite that had just been mined......

The magic grinder grinds calcite into a powder, which is mixed with volcanic ash and stirred in seawater to obtain the "mortar" that can be used to build walls.

Lan Yu, who witnessed this scene, was slightly surprised, this was clearly the ancient Roman version of cement.

"Wait."

"Why do we have to be involved in the plot and fight for our lives? Is it okay to hide or run away? Chen Yang, Shen Mengfei, and Liu Xiaoxiao, who had been walking behind, caught up and said in unison.

Lan Yu stretched out a finger and shook it, retorting one by one: "You can't do it!" It is not possible to go to sea, because when the void falls, it is accompanied by a strong earthquake, and the secondary disaster of the earthquake is the tsunami! ”

"On land?"

"Then we can only go north, and the army of Shurima is already approaching, and the quality of the ancient army is indescribable!" Lan Bing took the initiative to help him retort.

"It's even worse to hide, we're facing the Void!"

The crowd walked through the construction site outside the city, and many Acacians gathered on the edge of the construction site, most of them were old and weak women and children.

They have the faces of the people of the Mediterranean coast, and their faces are full of pride and enthusiasm. Dressed in a mix of ancient Greek and Egyptian styles – this is the product of the fusion of Shurima culture and Acacia.

After witnessing the completion of a section of the wall, they erupted in loud cheers to bless the emerging Aecasia.

"So, we can only take the first path, and there are a few points in the plot that can be used by us."

"First of all, as a highly developed magical country, Acacia must have a lot of relevant knowledge, and the Great War is approaching, and Acacia is likely to publish this knowledge in order to improve the combat effectiveness of the whole people.

The second point is the precious magic items that are sold in the city store; Left behind on the battlefield. The most valuable of these is the Eternal Flame Torch, which is the nemesis of the Void.

The third point is the power of the void. The story of Kai'Sa being possessed by the Void and the Vanguard Eye being able to be picked up prove that the Void can establish a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship with people under certain conditions, greatly enhancing the combat effectiveness of the possessed. ”

"Maybe Lan Bing and Shen Mengfei can try. Of course, I don't recommend it. ”

"Why did Sister Lan Bing and I go instead of others?" Shen Mengfei asked suspiciously.

"Because women are relatively adaptable. I don't recommend this because you're all adults and not as resilient as you were as children - Kai'Sa was a child when she was possessed.

In addition, there may be a reason for the physique, it is estimated that the Kasha family has a special physique, and they are born to coexist with the void. ”

Blue Feather continued, "Fourth, the battle of Beizek, where the Master of Weapons led the Kauali Guard to kill an Ascended One, should not have happened yet.

Once in the city, I was able to make high-explosive materials from some common raw materials, giving us the ability to participate in this battle.

When the time comes, we will hide to the side, join the battle (K-head) at the most critical time, and by the way, we can also form a good relationship with Jax and others. ”

"The fifth and most important point, the protagonist of the story, Akzam, must follow him............ At the end of the story, Akzam instinctively fled with Jax, but he was reluctant to leave because of his homeland, but we are different, and the good relationship with the weapon master is useful at this time.

In addition, in the plot, Akzam, who is controlled by hatred, kills the Ascendant who could have stopped the Void, and we can follow him to intervene at the critical moment to curb the spread of the Void, which can greatly increase our participation.

Unfortunately, there are some items that we can't get in this reincarnation, such as the World Rune buried somewhere in Shurima. ”

Yu's plan was unanimously approved, and it was almost the most perfect plan.

As he spoke, everyone had reached the main brick and stone road, and Blue Feather strode towards the city gate.

Lan Bing behind him gently tugged at the corner of his clothes: "The faces of us and the people of Acacia are very different, aren't you afraid of accidents?" ”

He looked back and patiently explained:

"Remember that newbie helping [Commonality]?"

"The key is the word, and it refers to the language. But skin color, faces, mannerisms, customs, and even temperament are strictly language. The system also 'translates' these for us. ”

"So, don't worry, come with me."

When entering the city, the guards stopped the reincarnators and demanded that they explain their origins.

The hearts of the people were pounding.

Yu saw that this was just a routine interrogation, and he calmly answered the questions of the city guards in very standard Mandarin.

The city guard "understood" the Chinese, and he said to the captain of the guard, "The accent is very authentic," and then let him go.

I don't know how he heard the so-called "accent".

The five of them successfully entered the city.

The street was stunned by the sight - the roads were cut into marble, and some of the exposed dirt was covered with stones.

On the side of the road, there is a "large torch" more than a few meters long, with simple magic runes engraved on the top to activate the magic light source in the lampshade, which is actually a magical version of the street lamp.

Behind every ten street lamps are baskets woven with bamboo strips, into which pedestrians throw garbage from time to time.

Behind the garbage basket is a green belt planted with native plants.

In the distance, the tall bell tower in the center of the city was inscribed with twelve magical runes, and the third rune in a clockwise direction was glowing softly whiteβ€”it was three o'clock in the afternoon.

A river runs through the city center, and the craftsmen of Acacia built an arched bridge over it, each stone cut and masonted with incredible precision. If you look closer, the crevices are clean – meaning that the bridge was built without mortar.

Compared with the oppression of the neon-lit concrete forest, the magical city of Acacia has a classical, solemn, and natural beauty.

But the smell of smoke and flames spoils the aesthetic. The capital is in chaos - people vent their emotions in this way, statues of solar discs are torn down from the roof by the crowd and smashed, the streets are littered with debris, walk on the streets and be careful of being scratched by sharp shards.

Shurima's writing paper was burned, and their treasures were looted;

The Aecasians, who have relatives and friends with the Shurima and have business relations, are not spared, and even those who have the face of Shurima are treated in this way;

The girls who had been associated with the Shurima were tied to ropes, and the young men led them through the streets with great joy as if they were leading their own livestock;

Statues of the deceased Sun Emperors were desecrated, and Shurima-style artwork and antiques were smashed. The thugs even openly excreted on the huge mural, which made Shen Mengfei blush.

They no longer pay attention to these, but take to the high streets in the midst of the riots, buying necessities.

The city of Acacia is well planned, with a grid of roads in which square buildings are located.

Turn a corner and you'll find a shopping street.

Taking advantage of the fact that the three people behind him were not paying attention, Lan Yu whispered to Lan Bing: "Have you played the ranking?" ”

"Hmm."

"The current situation is that of a thousand-mile horse, a high-class horse, with two oxen and horses. Oh, and there's no horse. ”

This brilliant metaphor almost made Lan Bing laugh, and she covered her mouth to keep herself from laughing.

Then he nodded in agreement: "You suddenly made me look forward to it." ”
