Chapter 175: Puppet City
Although Gu Jiu had been prepared early in the morning, he knew that Cang Liyuan would not be an ordinary place to bring it up so solemnly.
But when she actually came here with him, she couldn't help but be shocked.
This...... It's not like it's a place on earth!
Looking at the tall and extremely oppressive city in front of him, Gu Jiuqing couldn't help but ask, "What kind of place is this?" ”
There is no big problem with the city, and the boxy city is similar to the outside world.
It's just a location, but it's too remote.
Ordinary cities are located in prosperous and wealthy places, and no matter how bad they are, they are also dangerous places at the border.
However, this city is located in the deep mountains and forests, and it took them a lot of work to find it.
And there are many mechanism formations on the road, which can be said to be quite hidden!
If it weren't for Cang Liyuan's leadership, she might not have been able to find it.
The key is that many of the pedestrians who enter and exit the city are not people.
Seeing these strange things in front of him, Gu Jiuqing really felt that his knowledge was really too shallow.
The big spider that walked through the city, the big koi that hung in the air, the big koi swimming with their tails, and some other strange things.
For example, a terrifying-looking giant, a mount with a human head and a snake body, and a large head rolling around......
For a moment, Gu Jiuqing thought that he had stepped into another world.
Out of his mind, he listened to Cang Liyuan say: "Puppet City." ”
"Puppet City?" Gu Jiuqing looked at these strange things around him in surprise, and immediately understood, "These are all puppets?" ”
Cang Liyuan nodded, and Gu Jiuqing's face couldn't help but sink.
Good people, who is such a puppet!
These puppeteers are really capable of letting themselves go!
But then again, these things are really realistic!
Compared to this, the puppets of Sanniang that day were simply trivial!
In addition to these strangely shaped puppets, the puppeteers who manipulate this thing also seem stranger than the other.
The two of them appeared here, but they were not perverted enough to be incompatible with these people.
The two of them soon attracted the attention of others, and the inquiring eyes of those people fell on the two of them unabashedly.
However, they did not make any further moves, and no one came to offend.
Cang Liyuan didn't pay much attention to them, just took her hand and stepped into the city.
After entering the city, there are fireworks in the world.
On both sides of the street, in addition to these bizarre things, there are also many vendors selling them.
The puppeteers were also haggling with the vendors, and it was quite lively.
It's just that Gu Jiuqing found that the thing they used in the transaction was not ordinary silver, but Xuanyu!
Large and small jades can be seen everywhere in this market.
"It seems that this jade is not so precious!" Gu Jiuqing said in a low voice, "You see that there is almost one copy of everyone here." ”
Even at a glance, there is a person guarding a pile.
Their jade was put aside, not worried that someone would come to rob it, nor would they worry about someone stealing it.
I have to say that the security here is really strong.
"Xuanyu is originally an alien object, and it is extremely rare. But this is relative to the human world, after crossing the border, there is a large jade mine in the monster. ”
Cang Liyuan said, "In addition to the puppeteers who need this thing, Xuanyu can also supply energy to the demon spirits. Therefore, this Xuanyu Mine has always been an important mineral for the puppeteer to compete with the Demon Clan! ”
Hearing this, Gu Jiuqing couldn't help but sigh.
"If you say so, then wouldn't the two forces be able to cooperate because of this?" Gu Jiuqing said, "Anyway, if I were a demon clan, I would choose to cooperate with them, this is a mutually beneficial and win-win situation." ”
Puppets are a very versatile thing.
There are many things that cannot be done by manpower, but puppets can.
After all, these things are comparable to intelligent robots!
"It's true that it's mutually beneficial, but the puppeteers are not unmanaged. Like the rivers and lakes, the puppeteers also have their allies. The alliance leader will be in charge of the puppeteers in the world, and whether he will choose to cooperate with the demon clan is also the alliance leader's final say. Cang Liyuan said lightly, "And this alliance leader will never cooperate with them." ”
"Why?"
"He has an enmity with the demon clan! His parents, wife and children all died tragically at the hands of the demon clan, and the orphan took it as his mission to eradicate the demon all his life. Cang Liyuan said in a deep voice, "But right now, maybe the situation has changed." ”
"Do you suspect that they are cooperating with the Demon Clan?" Gu Jiuqing looked at the Xuanyu everywhere, and suddenly felt that this matter was not impossible.
Cang Liyuan looked around, and although he didn't give a positive answer, his attitude spoke for itself.
"Right now, we're here just in time for the quinnial puppeteer competition. During the competition, there will be puppeteers from all over the world, bringing their puppets into the city and competing in the ring.
The winner can challenge the leader of the alliance, and if the challenge is successful, he will take his place. Even if you fail, there will be a good reward. So at this time of year, there will be many puppeteers flocking to it. ”
"And the leader of the alliance is in this city?" Gu Jiuqing asked again.
"Well, it's the lord of this puppet city." Cang Liyuan said, looking in the direction of a tall building in the distance.
The tower, straight as a sword that soars to the sky, stands in the middle of the mountain.
From that vantage point, you can overlook the entire city.
Presumably, that's where the City Lord's Mansion is located.
"You're going to meet him?" Gu Jiuqing said.
"Don't worry, since you're here, take a stroll around as a good student." Cang Liyuan smiled lightly, "It's not common to see such a grand scene. ”
Gu Jiuqing, "......"
She didn't believe it, he just wanted to play.
This guy, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd!
"However, all the transactions here use Xuanyu, and we don't have any!" Gu Jiuqing reminded in a low voice.
Hearing this, Cang Liyuan smiled and said, "It's okay, we don't need Xuanyu." ”
The two of them immediately wandered around, accustomed to seeing the situation here, and in the face of those strange things, Gu Jiuqing was already much calmer.
Although no one provoked them along the way, the feeling of inquiry was always with them.
No matter where he went, Gu Jiuqing could clearly feel their undisguised gaze.
It's really, it's very unpleasant.
She also looked back, thinking that if she was caught red-handed, the other party would be restrained.
But it was clear that they were not afraid of being noticed by her, but when she looked over, the other party looked more energetically.
Their eyes are really just curious, as if they have seen a rare species, and there is no aggression.
After coming and going, Gu Jiuqing simply stopped paying attention to it.
However, after playing all the way, Gu Jiuqing found that Cang Liyuan was here, and he really didn't have to pay.
He only had to report the name of the king of his town, and he went all the way unimpeded, and even received good hospitality.
In this regard, Gu Jiuqing was really surprised.
"Is that okay?" She was surprised, "Aren't they afraid that you're impersonating?" ”
The people here are even more simple than she imagined!
"No, it won't." Cang Liyuan said, "Anyone who can enter here can't do it." ”
Before Gu Jiuqing could figure out what was going on, a few people who looked like guards came looking for him.
"His Royal Highness the King of the Town, our city lord is invited." The guard said, gesturing to them please.
And at this time, a behemoth appeared in front of them.
Is that......
