Chapter 9 The capital on which the sun never sets

In these ten days, Richard's harvest was huge, and his whole temperament has changed. Compared to the rapid improvement of combat and killing skills, the strength of the will and heart is the real gain. Richard didn't know how to describe this kind of harvest, maybe it couldn't be called a harvest, after all, being able to calmly watch his companion dismember the corpse of his opponent could not be said to be a very normal state of mind. However, the inexplicable irritability that had been haunting him disappeared unconsciously.

At dusk on the tenth day, the city on which the sun never sets finally appears on the horizon. It is a magnificent giant city, which stands on a series of majestic peaks that cover the entire mountaintop. The most striking building in the city is a towering minaret, which is nearly a kilometer high and glows brilliantly from the top of the spire. At the height of the main tower, it should have pierced through the clouds, but now it didn't.

Just above the city where the sun never sets, I don't know how thick the clouds are and there is a huge crack. Blood-colored light poured down from the crack, like a magnificent waterfall of blood. The entire city where the sun never sets has been painted with a layer of blood-colored luster, and from a distance, it is incomparably magnificent and weird, like a place of divine punishment.

From seeing the city where the sun never sets, to actually standing in front of its gates, a full two hours passed. After ten days of studying, running, and exercising, Richard can now adjust his running state at any time according to his surroundings, and maintain a flight speed that is not inferior to that of the brood while maintaining his body for long periods of time.

Standing in front of the two gates that were fifty meters high, Richard was once again a little distracted. The gate is cut from the original rock of the plane, and the rough magic lines are consistent, without any traces of splicing and discontinuity, as if it were a ghostly workmanship. The gate of such a height and such a thickness is no longer something that can be manipulated by an ordinary holy domain, even if the legendary powerhouse is here, it may be difficult to open and close it without the assistance of the power of the mechanism. The more this is the case, the more it shows the strength and heritage of the city where the sun never sets.

There were four guards standing at the gate of the city, all of them were powerhouses of the Holy Domain, and none of them were lower in rank than Bai Ye. However, when they saw the arrival of the white night, they all showed a look of awe, and they instantly stood up straight, not daring to make the slightest mistake in etiquette. Richard noticed that the eyes of the four guards were all passing over the huge package on Bai Ye's back, and they unconsciously showed eager and envious expressions.

"Lord White Night, Marshal Rundstead has been waiting for you for a long time, and he wants you to see him as soon as you return to the capital where the sun never sets. A tall guard said respectfully.

Bai Ye said indifferently: "I know. But I have something to do now, so I'll talk about it tomorrow morning!"

Rundsteadt's name, Richard, always felt familiar. When he walked into the small circular square behind the city gate, Richard suddenly remembered the origin of this name, and asked in surprise: "Rundstead, is it the legendary powerhouse of the Grand Duchy of Tumen, known as the Spear of Destruction?"

Bai Ye nodded and said, "That's him." If there is no legendary powerhouse, we will not be able to hold the capital where the sun never sets. ”

Richard was silent for a moment, then asked the question he had been thinking about for days: "Isn't the situation in our battle in the Land of Twilight very unfavorable?"

Bai Ye didn't answer and asked: "In the past few days, haven't you seen clearly enough?"

Richard was silent. In the last ten days, the answer to this question has actually become clear. The landing site where White Night and Richard teleported to the Peerless Battlefield was still within the influence of the Capital of the Sun Never Sets, but along the way, they killed nearly fifty Daxoldas powerhouses in a row, and encountered less than ten Norland allies.

"There are eleven legion fortresses of this level in the Land of Dusk, but only three belong to Norland. Bai Ye added lightly.

It's a simple numerical comparison, but it weighs heavily on Richard's heart.

After passing through the small square, the two of them appeared in front of a large road fifty meters wide, all the way up to the gate of the second layer of the city wall. The road is lined with tall buildings made of rock, some with more than a dozen floors. However, the entire city was lifeless, and except for a few Sacred Domain powerhouses flying through the air in the distance, there was not much breath of life felt at all.

White Night did not fly, but walked up step by step. Richard, who followed behind Bai Ye, looked around as he walked. The view is not very good, because both the staircase and the fence are too tall to cover the general decoration or safety needs. Richard was already the height of an adult man, and he was often blocked from viewing, and his eyes were full of rocky faces, large and small, and he had to deliberately raise his head or turn his neck to see something.

Richard had already seen that the city was not built by humans at all, and that the architectural style was very different from that of humans and even the intelligent races known to Norland. The buildings here are majestic, angular and constructed on solid and dense rock, and the sculptures on them are still clearly recognizable despite thousands of years of wind and rain erosion. Each floor of the buildings here is more than six meters high, and so on, and the original residents were at least three meters tall. In Norland, that's the ogre standard.

Judging from the architectural style and sculptural decoration, the race that left these buildings is rigorous and atmospheric, iron-blooded and hard, but also meticulous, and in fact, it is a civilized race that may have developed to a considerable height.

As far as the eye can see, there is evidence of the glory of this civilization. Now, however, a vast area of the city that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people has become a ghost domain. The kind of ruin that has been precipitated by a long history and time makes people involuntarily feel suffocated and hopeless.

Only then did Richard understand the purpose of the white night, and only by walking with his own feet could he most deeply perceive the despair that this city quietly emanated.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them went up to the second floor of the city. This floor is only then becoming lively, and you will always see strong people walking or flying. There are also shops on both sides of the road, but many are closed, and only a few are open. The vast majority of the buildings on both sides of the avenue are empty.

"The owners of these shops are people like me, and the reason they don't open the door may be that they are still out hunting, or they may be dead. If a shop doesn't open for too long, then you can just break down and take it. Of course, this is not necessary at all. There is nothing in the shops that are not open, and there are many empty houses on this street. Bai Ye explained.

There are no ordinary people in the city where the sun never sets, all of them are crazy people like Bai Ye or adventurers who want to make a fortune. In addition, strong people who feel that they have lived almost the same, or have no possibility of breaking through at all, will also come to the Peerless Battlefield, wanting to experience a bloodthirsty madness for the last time, or to see if there is a chance to break through between life and death. Therefore, the inhabitants of the city where the sun never sets are pitiful, and counting all those who have and those who do not have them together, it is worth a thousand people.

In this case, there is no way to find an idler to look after the store for you.

Bai Ye suddenly turned a corner and went directly into a small shop on the side of the road.

There was nothing in the shop, the walls were empty, and the wooden counters were covered with a thick layer of dust. Only behind the counter sat an old man dressed in a magician's suit, looking intently at a tattered and worn magic book in his hand. In front of the counter is a shabby table and two chairs, which seem to be used to entertain guests.

"Old man, I'm here again!" Bai Ye said hello, and threw the package on his back directly on the table.

The old man behind the counter looked up, revealing a wrinkled face, with a long white beard hanging down to his chest, looking very messy. The lenses of the crystal glasses on the bridge of his nose were full of fingerprints and oil, but he didn't bother to wipe them.

The old man stood up tremblingly, and said in a voice like a night owl, "White Night, you are not dead, this is really an unpleasant thing!"

Bai Ye said indifferently: "There are many people who think like this, and you are not the only one. There will be more in the future. I've got something in my hand, you see how much it's worth. ”

The old man walked out from behind the counter, pointed directly to the ground, and said, "Do you still want me to help you carry your things?"

Bai Ye grabbed the package very straightforwardly, threw it on the ground, and then opened it, carrying the corner of the package and shaking it gently. With a thud, all kinds of materials picked from the Daxoldas were spread out on the floor. Some of the organs that needed to be kept fresh were frozen with dark cyan ice cubes in the white night.

The old magician didn't move at first, his gaze drifting over the material, and then his attention was all on Bai Ye, staring at her, his eyes lingering on her waist and legs.

This scene surprised Richard very much. This old mage may have been a terrifying archmage, but now he still has a maximum of twelve or thirteen levels of magic power, and the breath of life is very weak, which is obviously a sign that his life is coming to an end.

And with Bai Ye's temper, there is no need to disagree with each other, even if you don't deal with each other's eyes, you will directly kill people. But she will endure the obscene gaze of this old man, which is obviously very storytelling. However, Richard didn't understand the story behind the scenes, so he naturally didn't come out randomly, but stood silently and watched. The water of the Peerless Battlefield was too deep, and it was not at all something that his level could participate in.

White Night ignored the old magician's gaze and stood peacefully. And the old magician became more and more unbridled, and even began to reveal undisguised desires.

However, Richard was a little shocked, Bai Ye was extremely tall, much taller than Richard today, and he was not short among men with strong physique. And her face is very distinctive, her eyebrows and pupils are so faint that they are almost invisible, if there is no such feature, Bai Ye's facial features are very upright, the proportions are perfect, and she is indeed a big beauty. She has a good figure, long legs and a thin waist, and a perfect curve below the chest, as for the breasts...... And it's about the same as nothing.

In fact, none of this is important, but the key is that Bai Ye is fierce and has a heavy and bloody temperament. To have sex with this woman who kills the gods, you need to have a strong psychological element. Richard thinks that his psychological quality is excellent now, but if there is no special reason, even if he has not touched a woman for a year, he will never take the initiative to seduce Bai Ye.
