Chapter 25: A Little Strange

Looking at the archaeological city from the outside is a completely different feeling from living on the inside.

The carriage traveled on a road that was not very wide. Compared with the casual dozens of high-rise buildings on both sides of the road, the narrowness of the road makes the original magnificent buildings suddenly oppressive.

Especially walking between the two rows of buildings, huge shadows are cast down, and the ground floor is dark and damp and dignified.

And if you look closer, those tall buildings are not so grand.

The windows are small, and it is difficult for adults to get out of them.

The dense windows make people feel oppressed, as if the eyes hiding behind the walls are coveting everything on the street.

In stark contrast to these dense and oppressive buildings, there are not many people on the streets.

Occasionally, a few oddly shaped rickshaws sped by.

Thor glanced at it, and it seemed that he was also moving forward through machinery such as gears, but it was fast.

Marsh was obviously dazzled as well, driving at a speed that could not keep up with what he had been in the wilderness, and was soon overtaken by the rickshaws.

Then there was a buzz overhead, and Marsh raised his head to find a small airboat flying more than ten meters overhead.

As the sky grew darker, the tops of the black pillars on both sides of the road suddenly lit up, startling the horses pulling the carts.

Seeing this scene, Thor was also amazed and puzzled, "The moment the lighting equipment is lit up, there are magic fluctuations. In other words, at least there is a magical infrastructure that runs through these neighborhoods! ”

If it were just a separate building like the Wizard's Tower, it would be normal to use such a magical device, but this is a city!

How exactly did the archaeological st, or the Baidong Academy behind it, manage to spend so much witchcraft resources on ordinary people?

The underlying productivity of witchcraft is simply not enough, right?

Five minutes later, Thor finally arrived at his destination, which was located on the map of the Guidebook.

Intermediary Center.

The guide says that this place is responsible for a series of intermediary matters such as finding a job, finding a house, finding a spouse, and so on.

It is the first recommended place to go when you first enter the archaeological city.

Even if you're just visiting for a while, you'll find the right guide.

No sooner had the carriage stopped under a particularly square tall building than Thor heard the faint sound of a piano coming from the tall buildings on either side.

Immediately, as if a switch was turned on, the buildings on both sides resounded at the same time.

Dark shadows emerged from the exits of different houses and slowly converged into the street, forming a dark torrent.

"This ...... So many people? Even the well-informed Agu was stunned by what he saw.

Not only the buildings on either side of them, but also the high-rise buildings in front of them, the buildings in front of them, and the buildings in front of them, were all gushing out like crowds.

The streets, which were not very wide, were suddenly packed.

As far as the eye can see, except for a few rickshaws, everyone else is traveling on both feet!

Most of the people who passed by looked numb, and only occasionally saw a vivid smile when talking in a low voice.

"This is to concentrate all the population of the surrounding cities, villages and towns in the archaeological city." Thor still held his chin and looked out of the car window, the scene in front of him somewhat reminded him of his previous memories.

"Concentrate a large population, have a very regular lifestyle, and use reading materials to continuously attract people to the city...... The owner of the city turned people into parts of the city. What does he want to do? ”

Agu listened to Sol's analysis and said in a low voice: "The real master of Archaeological City is Baidong Academy. And the current speaker of Baidong Academy is their old dean Pang De, a second-order wizard. ”

Baidong Academy is also selling all kinds of witchcraft props to the outside world, and I heard that as long as you have money, even people with poor magical and spiritual qualifications can become wizard apprentices.

Baidong Academy cast a wide net, and the net not only caught the wizard apprentices, but also the small fry of ordinary people.

"I'm afraid they're doing a big job." At this time, the crowd coming out of the buildings on both sides had become thin, and Thor jumped out of the carriage, "It's useless to think about it so much, we're just a team of tenants looking for a house now." ”

On the surface, Marsh stayed in place, but secretly there were actually small algae clones who pierced into the soil to guard it.

Thor only took his compressed bag and Agu to store his important belongings, and the two entered the red square building on the right.

After entering the building, Thor and Agu saw a gate that could be automatically guarded, and a pass was required to open it.

The cabin, which can run up and down like an elevator, requires a dedicated person to control it by hand.

It seemed to be the sound of the piano just now, and now there are not many people in the building.

An "elevator" takes the two to the 20th floor, which is the top floor of the building.

On the top floor is an oval hall with hidden rooms on either side. The middle was empty, with only a few benches and a circle of counters around it.

Posters and confetti were spilled all over the floor, and someone was cleaning them up.

As soon as Saul entered, he saw a boy pulling a woman arguing with a woman behind the counter, as if over the matter of rent.

Take another look at the sign above the woman's head behind the counter, and it is indeed an area for renting a house.

Thor walked over to the adjacent counter and asked, "Do you have a house for wizards here?" ”

The man behind the counter was originally looking down to sort out the information, but when he heard the voice and looked up, he suddenly showed a bright smile and threw the things in his hand aside at will.

"Of course, my lord, welcome to the Archaeological Steward!"

It only took ten minutes for Thor to get a key. The key was a copper leaf, but the lines on it were constantly changing, and when Thor's hand was pressed in a certain position, the lines stopped.

The man who had entertained Thor graciously sent Thor to the door.

Originally, he just took out a volume of documents with normal enthusiasm, but when Sol chose the house and took out the silver pass to register, the man's expression changed greatly, his attitude was twice as respectful, and he took out another volume of house information from the back room.

The house Thor had originally chosen was the top floor of a tall building.

And the man's new house information is at least a villa.

Saul glanced at it twice, and after comparing the prices, he still chose the original top floor.

There is no way, the wizard tower has fallen, and he still has a small wizard tower, four consciousness bodies, and two pets to raise, so he must save money.

Although Saul did not choose a larger and more expensive house, the agent was not disappointed in the slightest, and when Saul left, he took out a business card and handed it respectfully with both hands.

"This is my business card, my message. If you need anything in the future, you can find the intermediary center through the communicator in the room, and I can come to your door at any time. ”

Such a familiar scene made Thor miss a little, and he took the other party's business card and looked down.

"About ...... ......Thinking of a certain book, Saul looked up and asked, "You can't be the farmer John in the book, right?" ”

The man named John smiled innocently, "Actually, after the book was promoted, many people changed their name to John, hoping to have good luck like him." ”

Accepting John's business card, Saul once again declined to travel in the flight cabin.

Without him, it's not free.

Back in the carriage, Agu was so shocked that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

Thor looked calm on the outside, but he was actually surprised inside.

If it weren't for the fact that he found that many of the props had the shadow of witchcraft runes in the underlying logic, he really thought that there was some more all-round time-traveler who came here to be the city lord.

However, he finally confirmed that although some things were similar, the essence was still much worse.

Back in the carriage, Thor tells Algae to retrieve his clone hidden underground, telling Marsh where to go and preparing to head to his new home.

However, as soon as the wheel starts, the algae suddenly sticks out from the back of Thor's neck and snorts into Thor's face.

"Hmm...... Algae, what do you do? ”

Algae staggered a word in the air.

"Big tree."

Several people came together at the same time.

"Big tree? What big tree? Which big tree? Penny asked in a rambling voice.

"One dot is missing from the tree." Agu said with a frown.

Thor was stunned, "Here, it seems that I haven't seen a single tree." ”

He slowly lowered his head and looked at his feet.

"The big tree you are talking about...... Is it underground? ”

Finally caught up.
