Chapter 62 The Land of Chaos, the Abyss Outpost
Darkness overwhelmingly covers this chaotic underground city, and the light is limited to the dilapidated magic lamps along the chaotic roads and alleys.
I don't know who will spend money to replenish the energy of these old objects, maybe only when they can't use it anymore will someone have to pay for it.
In the chaotic crowd, a pair of nervous and cunning eyes had already paid attention to the faces of the people walking through the third black street.
Although this guy has covered his face with an unknown mask, this demeanor, this walking posture, is absolutely incompatible with this underground city, leisurely, casual, no panic in a hurry to do something...
New residents? Or is it the group of boys on the ground who are curious about the underground world? No matter what, in short, it is a rare fat sheep, and it must not be missed.
There is no magic power fluctuation, and the level of fighting spirit is also terrible, how dare this kind of person come here, if it is not cheap, he will have to be picked up by others.
The diminutive figure licked the corners of his mouth and smiled a little distorted, Yorick felt that today must be his lucky day, and he actually picked up a "fat sheep" in this messy and dying.
There is no need to take life, human life is not worth much in this place, and it is not a beautiful woman, and no street boss wants such a stupid and weak waste man.
Exhaled lightly, his breathing well controlled by Yorick, and his steps were surrounded by some fighting energy, which was very weak, providing a small but sufficient force to suppress the footsteps of each step to the point of extremely small.
With his diminutive stature and thin body, Yorick swiftly and skillfully navigated the crowd, ignoring the unkind glances cast from under the mask by some of the people who also covered his face, and Yorick quickly approached the "fat sheep".
The tiny blade popped out of his fingertips, and his eyes were already locked on the back of the "Fat Sheep" waist bag, which contained a special magic fluctuation that he was very familiar with, the "Magic Crystal Card".
That's what he wants, and as for this "fat sheep", it is estimated that he will die in the corner of a street in this chaotic realm in a short time.
Squeezing through several people, his pace quickened, and Yorick's silent steps quickly approached the figure that was calmly advancing.
The blade quickly slashed out, flying towards the waist bag of the person in front of him, and in Yoric's vision, the next moment, the waist bag would be cut, and the left hand that he and the blade poked out together would get the magic crystal card.
"Smack!" A strong, leather glove-wrapped hand pinched Yorick's arm, and the blade of his fingertips stopped in the air in front of his fanny pack.
His pupils constricted, and Yorick was startled by the reaction of the man in front of him, and he didn't turn his head, but he leaned back and grabbed his arm without looking at it as if he had long eyes behind him.
And this strength, damn it, isn't this guy even less than the fighting strength of a trainee knight?
Wang Yu turned his head and looked at Yorick, the gray-haired young man who was grabbed by his hand at this time and looked at him with a shocked face, short stature, thin physique, and his fighting spirit level was actually the beginner level of the apprentice knight?
Yorick's eyes stared at Wang Yu, who turned his head, with a hint of horror, what should I do?
The cruel thought flashed through his heart, the horror in his eyes was replaced by ferocity, and the ruthlessness brought by crawling in the dungeon took over the boy's choice at this moment.
"Whoosh!" The blade of the nail was quickly popped out in the flicking of the knuckles, turning into an afterimage and flying towards the position of Wang Yu's face where it belonged to the eyes, the cold light flickered, and the dangerous edge gave people goosebumps.
At the same time, the arm that was pinched was directly twisted and dislocated, and it came out of the situation where the wrist was clamped, the body rotated, and a kick was kicked at Wang Yu's neck, and the blade that popped out of the thick-soled shoes was equally dangerous and fatal.
"Ding!" "Bang! Click! The two sounds were generated at almost the same moment, and the invisible barrier easily blocked the blade that shot at Wang Yu's eyes, and it was not even damaged at all.
And what was faster than Yorick's kick was a punch that Wang Yu spun around and smashed, which was hit extremely quickly, and smashed on Yorick's chest without any remaining strength.
In an instant, the bones were broken, the sternum was crushed, the chest was dented, and Yorick's thin and thin figure was smashed out and hit the wall by the side of the street, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
"It's chaotic... However, the blessing of witchcraft in this place is indeed great, and the strength and speed of the barrier have been greatly enhanced. Wang Yu glanced at Yorick, who flew out, the streets were still full of people, and no one cared about what was happening here.
The special thing here is that the void is integrated into the real space, making it much easier for Wang Yu to launch witchcraft, and the speed is also much faster, and the strength of the barrier just now is at least 1.5 times more than that of the outside.
Walking to Yorick's side, Wang Yu didn't care about the life or death of this guy who tried to steal his things and wanted his life after being discovered, anyway, it was estimated that he would not survive.
The horrific depression in the chest is no joke, and even if it looks complete, the internal organs and other things are estimated to be a mess.
"Pretty rich?" Wang Yu took out several small money bags from Yorick's body, this guy hid the money bags in all corners of his body in a particularly scattered manner, covering them with clothes and organs themselves, but these were meaningless in front of Wang Yu's ripples.
"Twenty gold coins, not bad." Nodding with satisfaction, Wang Yu put these small bags into his waist bag, and swept the ripples roughly, twenty gold coins, a good extra money.
Ignoring Yorick, who was losing his life in the corner, Wang Yu continued on the complicated and narrow road of No. 3 Black Street to his destination.
"You just killed him?" Ziggy's voice sounded in Wang Yu's ears.
"Or else?" Borrowing ripples, Wang Yu didn't make a sound, and passed what he wanted to say to Zig, who maintained the invisible skin magic next to him.
"Actually, he's quite pitiful, you look at the black snake on his arm, this is the owner of this street, and it also shows that he works for the boss here, generally speaking, these young children are tied up by these bosses from childhood and trained harshly as their future thugs."
"They have their own metrics every month, and if they don't get along... Breaking their hands once and losing their lives twice, their actions may just be to survive, after all, they have been enslaved by the boss of this place since childhood. ”
"So what, no matter what the reason can't be the reason to attack me, if it's just stealing money, I might beat him, but I won't kill him directly, but obviously, he is a killer, then I will only kill him without leaving a chance!"
"I'm not a god, I can't know or understand everyone's suffering, I can only do that people don't offend me, I don't offend people, if you want to do something to me, don't blame me for wanting him to die, which time I do it slowly, it may be me who dies."
Wang Yu was a little surprised how Qi Ge could ask such a question, in his opinion, the Night Blade was not pedantic and stubborn, since it had roots in this chaotic place, how could it be entangled in these questions?
"Okay, I know you won't have a problem, it's just that Edward and Charles might have a bit of a problem, it's not that they're not decisive enough, it's just that some of their so-called kindness is still a little too extensive."
"Hmm... You really can't be too rigid in this business. Wang Yu nodded.
Charles and Edward are indeed different from him, one is life experience and the other is personality, and the professor probably routinely tests his reaction to these aspects.
"You're really good for this job, and besides, your physical strength seems to be beyond your own knightly rank."
"I've always been very insistent on exercising my body, and it's probably more important to me than to be vindictive or physical..."
"You remind me of an old friend's granddaughter, her name is Wendy, she is also physically stronger than her own vindictive strength, and may be more exaggerated than you, maybe you will have a common word, right?"
"Wendy. Lanki? ”
"Yes, you know?"
"That's right, Avia is in her grandfather Webb. Lan Qi studied there. ”
"Old Webb? Coincidentally, I could have taken care of Avia, but I'm also an honorary professor. Ziggy smiled a little more in his tone, but he didn't expect Avia to be a student of her old friend.
"With the strictness of old Webb, I'm afraid Avia's talent is not so simple, I haven't paid special attention to that girl when I was patronizing those nobles and voids in the champion before, and then whether it's considering talent and potential or helping friends, help pay attention to it..."
The professor silently went through the next arrangements in his heart, and continued to shuttle through the streets with Wang Yu.
A large number of metal pipes are scattered on top of the narrow alleys that circulate and twist, and all kinds of materials flow through them, and the special environment of this region makes alchemy have a different kind of development.
The integration of the void into reality has made the randomness and success rate of alchemy here a little weird, and the appearance rate of powerful alchemy creations here has also become larger, one of the largest industries of the shadow of the royal city, the alchemy industry.
The entry threshold for the alchemy industry here is low, and the probability of producing alchemy creations with exceptionally powerful mutations is high, which also makes it a different ecology here.
There are a large number of alchemy items through special channels, through the nobles or the royal family secretly controlled, layers of taxes and random take, and then transported to the royal city on the ground, in exchange for a large number of gold coins into the dungeon.
The two seem to be unrelated to each other on the surface, and ordinary people are not aware of the huge territory under the royal city, but the interaction between the two has never stopped, and interests and needs have firmly bound the two together.
Compared with the traditional alchemy workshops in the royal city on the ground, it is precise, professional, complete, and requires high precision and high technology, and the alchemy industry of the shadow of the royal city is more wild and systematic.
Vast quantities of raw materials weave through the pipes of the underground city, sending them where they need to go, steam surging from the walls of the street at any moment, and blazing furnaces at the same time responsible for melting minerals and calcining fused materials.
The swirling cables transmit not electricity but magic and other special beings, crowded and chaotic, and all kinds of things that are different from the style of the ground are crowded together to form this dungeon.
"Steampunk style..."Wang Yu looked at this special underground city and sighed a little, can you see this somewhat familiar style in the fantasy world?
"It's very peculiar, the development of this place is actually very valuable in the eyes of us scholars, it seems to be chaotic, but in fact, the efficiency of many alchemy and research is much higher than that of those long-standing alchemy workshops in Wangcheng."
Zig looked at Wang Yu and said with a smile.
"Yes, science and technology are the primary productive forces, and the most special thing here may be that ordinary people can also participate in these alchemy, and those alchemy masters above may not be able to complete these at all without knight-level precision reactions or mage-level spiritual strength."
"Is science and technology the primary productive force, well, it makes sense, there are so many special aphorisms in the place where you come from, can ordinary people also participate... It was indeed a big breakthrough. ”
Ziggy nodded, and there was some uncertainty in his words.
"Anyway, here, here, where you're going to stay after that." Ziggy didn't say anything more, but stopped in front of a building with Wang Yu.
As the two of them marched, they had reached the end of the city.
At the end of this particular city is a huge cliff, the edge of which is simply protected by a fence of steel and wood, no more than a meter high.
Standing on the edge of the cliff and looking down, only the endless deep black chaos, no light, no sound, no object, abyss, this word can well summarize the feeling of this area under the cliff.
"The name of this subterranean space is the Shadow of the Royal City, and the real name of this city is the Abyssal Border Outpost, and the space under this cliff is also the place where this outpost is guarded."
Ziggy led Wang Yu to the only building that existed on the edge of the cliff, a towering lighthouse.
The lighthouse stood on the edge of the cliff, the height was exaggerated, and the light from the top of the lighthouse was not very bright, but it did not illuminate the so-called abyss.
The metal tower shimmers with a somewhat dim glow in the dim light, giving this lighthouse a mysterious and unique beauty.
The heavy iron door opened with the verification of the voucher in Ziggy's hand, revealing the small elevator space inside.
Walking into it, Wang Yu and Ziggy began to rise in the roar of the mechanical structure of the elevator, and the complex machinery made the ascent have no sense of vibration and were extremely fast.
"Built with goblin technology, there doesn't seem to be any trace of wizards and magic here..."
Wang Yu spread out the ripples and found that the structure of this lighthouse was basically an extremely complex mechanical structure, with almost no magic circles and wizard runes and the like.
The mainstream tone of the giant buildings in this world is still the magic array and wizard runes, and the system composed of pure chemistry and physics seems to be only goblins.
As the ascent reached the end, Wang Yu and Ziggy reached the very top of this lighthouse, which was still not a spacious cabin, except for a groove in the middle, which was used to place something, and on closer inspection, it seemed to be the shape of the base of the lantern that Wang Yu had.
"Wang Yu, do you have confidence in your spiritual resistance, next I hope to be able to determine the degree of your spiritual resistance, if you are not sure, you can not do it."
Ziggy's serious words came from the side as Wang Yu observed the space above the lighthouse.
Wang Yu nodded without hesitation, there is only one place where his self-confidence has no upper limit, and that is spiritual resistance.
"Don't worry, if you have a problem, I'll help you out of the observation immediately, so please look into the depths of this abyss."
"Whatever you see, remember that it is false, that it is the tentacles and traps that are projected out of the chaotic and disordered thoughts of this sea of spiritual power to capture you and consume your spirit."
"No problem."
Wang Yu did not hesitate and set his sights on this abyss, which seemed to have no end.
Darkness, there is really only darkness, and with the eyesight of Wang Yu's apprentice knight, he can't see through the endless darkness. Ocean.
At the same time, there were no illusions, no sounds, and nothing strange, and all Wang Yu could see was darkness, and nothing else existed.
"Professor, I didn't see anything, but I'd like to try to probe with my mental powers, okay?"
"Didn't see anything? Are you sure? ”
"Sure."
"Your specialness is really beyond my expectations, and there is no difference between observation and mental power exploration in nature, if you want, try it, I also want to know where your limit is."
"Hmm."
Ziggy agreed to Wang Yu's request, then come on, since he is going to work here for a while, how can he not get to know his chaotic neighbor.
The ripples carry Wang Yu's spiritual power, and they are transmitted to this abyss, Wang Yu, staring at the abyss.
