Chapter Ninety-Nine: Ascending to the Tower
Jishi Town said that it was not big, it was not small, if it was on foot, it would not be a few months before it reached the City of Crying Heaven, but Jishi Town could not ride horses, Zhang Qi and Xuan Tiancheng couldn't help but feel distressed.
Fortunately, the thunder dragon is also an old Jianghu, and he has been mixed in this area for a long time, and he knows that there is a special carriage here, which can carry people to Tianwai City, this kind of carriage is huge, and the horse pulling the carriage belongs to the hybridization of extreme beasts and ordinary animals, even in the orc race, it is also a despised category, so the orc race does not care, this is very similar to the kind of bus in the previous life, with a large capacity and a close price.
The three of them sat in the carriage along the way, chatting, but it was also very comfortable, during which listening to Lei Long's introduction, Zhang Qi had a better understanding of the orc race and other races, and without Yu Lan's pursuit, the journey was smooth.
Since I came to Elysium, this time is the most comfortable, no pressure, just like a tour to watch the strange and unique scenery along the way, as well as the "tour guide" of the thunder dragon, all kinds of plants and animals that have never been seen in the previous life, all kinds of unheard of anecdotes, and there is a melon seed that can be eaten, because it is bigger than Zhang Qi's face, but there are also painful times, such as the amount of food of the thunder dragon, this guy can eat more than ten pigs, even if it is the thrifty Zhang Qi who buys cheap food along the way, after half a month, His pocket, which was still hugely rich, was deflated in an instant.
Half a month later, they finally came to Tianwee City, stretched their waists, and patted their buttocks who had been sitting in the carriage for half a month.
After seeing the prosperity and scale of Kester, Zhang Qi's concept of Sky Cry City should be much bigger, but when he really saw Sky Cry City, he knew that he was wrong!
It's not that Sky Cry City is not as small as he imagined, but it is bigger than he estimated, much bigger, so big that it makes him feel like watching a European and American blockbuster movie, and before he enters Sky Cry City, the city wall outside alone is enough to shock.
There is no need to measure at all, the visual inspection is at least 100 meters high, and it seems that it can be connected to the sky from the bottom up, and the stone of the wall has long been covered with cyan moss, and the vicissitudes of the years are deeply engraved on this stone.
This is Tianwai City, an ancient city with a very thick sense of history.
Few people really say the origin of Sky Cry City, because its history is too long and too long, so long that it is impossible to find its source, it has gone through tens of thousands of years of changes, experienced the baptism of countless wars, and is still standing in Elysium, like a witness to history, writing about the changes of style again and again.
"Stop, what are you doing?" The guards at the door stopped Zhang Qisan.
"Oh, we're past merchants, from Stone Town, and this is the entrance fee." As a regular visitor, the thunder dragon was certainly familiar with the situation here, after all, he would enter the city once a year to test it, and he had long been accustomed to the way he entered and exited here.
"Well, let's go inside." After the guard received the money, he didn't feel embarrassed anymore, and naturally let the three of them into the city.
Of course, Zhang Qi won't say much, so as not to have more complications, but the amount of this fee surprised him, 500 Bliss coins for one person, and 1500 for three people, my God, this is too expensive, Zhang Qi's heartache face twitched, although he is now a small and medium-sized rich.
Looking at the pedestrians coming and going, Zhang Qi's eyes were straight, there are eight gates in Tianwee City, and the flow of people at each gate is about the same, according to this calculation, the entrance fee alone is an astronomical amount in a day, and this city lord is really too rich.
"If I can be a city lord in the future, then in this life, even if I lie down and count the money, I will count my hands and feet to cramps. Hehe......" Looking at the crowd, Zhang Qi's heart continued to be obscene.
But when you think about it, it's a bit ridiculous to say it.
The three of them honestly entered the door, only to find that they only entered the outer gate, this architectural form is very similar to the previous ancient city of Huaguo, there is a buffer between the city gate and the city gate, called the urn city, it can be used to divert the flow of people into the city in leisure time, it can be used to block the enemy's breaking speed in wartime, and it can also be used to catch turtles in the urn and kill more enemies, this city is very oriental characteristics.
Fortunately, the lord of this city is still a little humane, and after collecting the money from the outside, the inner door will have to pay, otherwise there will be two inner doors next, and his gang will go bankrupt before they enter the door.
After entering the city, there is an open flat land in front of it, and the size of it is at least hundreds of thousands of square meters, this area is not allowed to anyone stay, and on the left and right sides are some towering arrow towers and magic towers, once the enemy attacks, this will be the enemy's biggest place to die, and it is also the last barrier of Sky Cry City, no wonder the administrator is so strict with the management here.
In order to avoid more trouble, the three of them quickly passed through this clearing and entered the inner city.
As soon as he entered the inner city, Zhang Qi felt what the real main city was, because everything in front of him completely refreshed Zhang Qi's perception of grandeur.
There are many shops on both sides of the wide and somewhat exaggerated road, which is not accurate to say that it is not accurate, strictly speaking, it is a commercial building, because most of these shops are some high-rise buildings, and the shortest ones have more than 5 floors, and the highest ones even reach dozens of floors.
The shape of the building here is even more complex and changeable, which is simply a fusion of Chinese and Western plus ancient and modern.
There are dozens of floors of commercial buildings here, typical of Western design style, even in the past, it is very fashionable and visually impactful; At the same time, there are also Chinese-style classical courtyard houses, which are full of charm.
There are also rusty western castles, dark and deep, deep and mysterious; There is also a palace compound, which is noble and prominent.
There are also antique multi-storey pagodas here, which are solemn and solemn; There are also playground-like gladiatorial arenas, bloody and brutal.
There are even pyramids and the construction of the Great Wall.
……
Such a completely different era, different styles of buildings actually appeared in the same city, which was something that Zhang Qi couldn't even think of before, but now it appears vividly in front of him, this is not a mirage, but a real existence.
Not to mention the dress of the people in the city, just like Kester Town, there are all kinds of styles, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign.
However, for Zhang Qi, who has already had preliminary knowledge, these are not too big shocks, and he has no intention of staying in these superficial shocks.
What he wanted to do most now was to complete Xuan Tiancheng's promotion task first, and it couldn't be easier to find such a place.
You don't even need to sell any guides or maps, there are stone carved maps on both sides of the avenue, which clearly record all kinds of directions and guides, and the most obvious of them is about the place to advance.
Climb to the sky!
All the places used for promotion are called Ascending Towers.
Ascend to the sky, one step to the sky.
Ascending to the sky is indeed worthy of its name, for the people of Elysium, not to mention that every time you advance to the first level, even if it is a level, the leap in strength is not trivial, not to mention the level, it is really a rebirth.
Especially from the white level to the blue level, this is a transformation from a mortal to a superhuman, and the righteousness of ascending to heaven is almost about to break out of the body.
The Ascending Tower is the easiest to find in all buildings, because it is on the edge of the City Lord's Mansion, as for why it was built on the edge of the City Lord's Mansion, it will be clear after a little thought, once a master is promoted, the people of the City Lord's Mansion can be recruited as soon as possible, which is also an alternative battle between forces.
Although it is easy to find the sky-climbing tower, it is really far away from the west gate where Zhang Qi and them entered the city, although it looks quite close on the map, but this day the weeping city is too big, the ratio of the map and reality exceeds Zhang Qi's imagination, plus the average person in the city is not allowed to ride a horse, so Zhang Qi They can only walk on their feet, in order not to attract the attention of others, Zhang Qi They did not dare to gallop, and it took half a day to finally reach the sky-climbing tower.
The shape of the building is in the shape of a pagoda, the higher it goes, the smaller it becomes, and each floor symbolizes a level, and the layers are strictly distinct.
The first floor is a hall as high as more than ten meters, the space is particularly large, the visual inspection is afraid that there are dozens of football fields, although it is hot summer, but the inside is exceptionally refreshing, without a trace of heat, I don't know if the magic on the side is working, the human body feels very comfortable.
There are all kinds of people scattered in the hall, and their purposes are different, some are here to promote, some are to see the excitement, and more are recruiters sent by various forces, just look at the dense offices on the side of the hall, but the largest and most conspicuous is definitely the force on the side of the city lord's mansion, and everyone has directly put their stalls at the door.
As for the other forces "setting up stalls" here, even the City Lord's Mansion does not dare to drive them away, after all, the City Lord's Mansion only represents one of the forces, and it has not yet been bold enough to dare to offend all the forces.
For example, the office closest to the promotion counter is the location of the Ranger Alliance, followed by the Magic Alliance, then the Orc Alliance, and so on. Of course, there are also some local gangs that have not joined the big forces, as well as civilian mercenary organizations, although these forces are small, but they still have a small corner of the corner.
Fortunately, this hall is big enough, otherwise it really can't accommodate these hundreds of offices.
But it's all for the middle spot, the promotion counter.
Compared with those gorgeous and exquisite counters, this promotion counter is particularly shabby, there is only a small table on it, and it can be seen at a glance with Zhang Qi's poisonous eyes that this table is made of high-quality special wood, which is extremely corrosion-resistant, and it is afraid that it will be saved for several years here.
A big red plaque like dripping blood stood with three big characters on it: Ascending to the Sky.
