The twin bridges are located in the northeast of the ancient town. If you walk in the forest and don't get lost, you can get out of the forest within three days. From there, the landscape will change from dense trees to rolling hills. After another day of crossing these hills, they will reach the canyon where the two bridges are located.

However, thanks to Cassin,

It didn't take them four days to get to the city. On the contrary, they

Teleport directly to a hill near the top canyon.

The grass has grown over the top of the hill, the uneven mound hidden beneath it. There are mossy stones nearby, square and not naturally formed.

"Was there a house here before?" He asked, looking up from the rock. He was too curious.

"Watchtower", Racine corrected. He raised an arm and pointed at something in the distance. "Look. There are two bridges. ”

It took his breath away. In front of them was a huge canyon of dark red rocks. The Great Basin sits in the middle of this canyon, and its edge is steep cliffs that plunge straight into a bottomless canyon. It was as if the ground had cracked, leaving a lonely piece of land in between.

On this plateau sits an epic city. A huge enclosure surrounds it, estimated to be twenty or thirty feet high, and the two bridges are magnificent. Crimson flags flutter merrily over towering beige stone spires, while its buildings rise several stories high. Stone bridges arch from one building to another, connecting them together.

The only way to get to the city from where they stood on the hill was by a suspension bridge that spanned the canyon.

"Wow,"

"Impressive, isn't it?" Racine said. "You can't see it now, but in the distance is another bridge. This is where the name comes from, although the city itself has a lot of bridges. ”

"It must be fun to build it."

Racine chuckled. "I think so. It started three years ago, but when the original builder was gone, Valkyrie took over and completed it about eight years ago. As you can see, they are already gifted, theatrically gifted. ”

"It's so cool that they have this great city,"

The masked man glanced at him. "If that impresses you, you've probably seen the old Veiled la

ds。 That's really worth a look. ”

"Uh-huh, of course." It's not that Veiled used to have a better place than their current house, but seriously – it's a huge city built with bridges. If that's not impressive, then I don't know what else.

"It's not nonsense,". Then he realized that Racine was not actually offended, because there was a very obvious glint in those black eyes. "I mean, I'm sure Veiled la

The ds are great, but it's, well, I've never seen anything like it. Even from where I am. ”

This mega-city, which occupies the entire horizon, is big, noisy and full of pollution. ”

"Hmm. This does sound a bit unpleasant. ”

"That's true," and of course that's what he still likes here. Because it is all empty, the air is always filled with a fresh breath, and there is no garbage on the road. It's crowded, but it's all on foot. No cars whizzed by, spewing out foul-smelling exhaust fumes. There were no sirens in the distance, and no dogs barking into the night.

The city is calm in a way that reality can never be. Unless you become a hermit in a solitary mountain.

"When you get to the city," Racine said after a while, "find a man named Augustine." He can guide you like Joffrin. ”

"Aren't you going with me?"

"It would be better if I didn't. That's why I'm taking you to the watchtower instead of the city itself. You'll be fine alone. Valkyries maintain a keen eye, and they will not tolerate any clan crossing the line. ”

He frowned and looked at the great city from afar. Overbearing! , the place will be busier. The thought made his skin tingle.

"What if something happens?"

"You know where to find us." Racine patted him lightly on the back.

Maybe he craved any small reassurance.

God knows, he needs it. He hates going to new places alone, even if they look cool.

"I guess." He took a deep breath. He walked into the sublimation alone, and he can also walk into the two bridges. Moreover, it didn't take long for Brother Niu to come. It's a must!

"You'll be fine. Have fun. ”

"Oh, of course, thank you." How to do Racine know it's exactly the fun he's always wanted? No.

Racine's smile in reply vanished, and he suddenly split into thousands of white sparks. Teleported away, leaving Sef on the mountain.

"Amazing,"

On the plus side, he didn't have to spend three days walking through the forest. On the downside, he still had to climb down the hill to get to the bridge. Not very far, maybe only a few kilometers, but it still takes him some time to get to the city.

Well, if he runs, maybe it will be enough for him to gain another agility point.

The two bridges are a complex city. This becomes evident when stepping through its massive gates. The place is a behemoth that grows upwards, not outwards, and it is much larger than when it first appeared from across the bridge.

Wide cobblestone streets, forming a sufficiently complex grid, with a signpost indicating directions at each corner. The people who cross these streets are constantly ebbing and flowing, while others take advantage of climbing the stairs on the sides of the buildings. These stairs lead to an arched skybridge overhead, and there are almost as many people walking on the skybridge as there are on the street.

Sef noticed a pair of men in black coming down the nearest staircase. They are dressed in light leather, veiled on the lower half of their faces, and move around like panthers foraging for food.

Anyone they met quickly got out of the way.

Maybe one day he'll have that existential confidence. Ha, of course. Pigs can fly too.

Reluctantly turned away,

He didn't know which direction to go or where to start looking for Augustine's first clues. This place is so complicated that it can be a headache to look at.

Cheer up, he told himself. What's the worst-case scenario? Murdered? Kidnap? Coerced into joining a criminal gang? Wait a minute.

He snorted. If he really wants to worry about something, it's more about the inevitable trouble that will get into a lot when that hunk man appears.

Hurry up and accomplish his own best interests before Dude arrives. This means getting some instructions.

He searched for the nearest Valkyrie. Is it the woman in charge of the city?

It just so happened that there was a pair of people of the same clan standing at the edge of the city. They were the best option at the moment, and he walked over to them.

They noticed him almost immediately, their eyes sharpened and alert. He wants to abort the mission again? Go talk to someone who isn't so intimidating?

"Hello." The person on the left greeted him cordially. The veil covered the lower half of his face, making it hard to see, but he thought she might be smiling at him. "Can we help you?" She has a pale pink flower pinned to one of her dark braids. This was the first thing he noticed, because he didn't expect a man dressed in animal skins and carrying a six-foot spear with him to have such elaborate decorations.

"Hello." He glanced at her name: Xioma

a。 It suited her perfectly, he thought. Then he began to realize the less friendly gaze of her companion.

+1 Wisdom

Congratulations, Sev! You have reached level 14.

He barely noticed the notice because he was looking at the presentation about Omara. She doesn't like flowers, and she doesn't wield a gun. Instead, she prefers a savage eyeshadow liner, holding what looks like a barbed whip in her hand. She gently flung it onto her thigh, its coils gently pounding, pounding, pounding. The entire time she did so, she looked him straight in the eye.

"So," he looked away from her, choosing the friendlier option. "I'm new here, I wonder if you can help me find someone?"

"You ask for guidance?"

Tap. Tap. He nodded wordlessly.

Without his permission, his gaze fell on the coiled whip, and she was still staring at him. The whip whipped her legs.

Sef tensed and stepped back. How is it possible that one accomplice is very good and the other is so terrible?

"Yes, please."

"Who are you looking for, kid?"

Never. She didn't just call him — a 6-foot-tall adult — child. He opened his mouth in an instinctive angry response, but then thought about it again. Tap. Tap.

Yes, he must have thought it through.

"I'm looking for Augustine," he said to the pretty Valkyrie.

"Ah, Bruera's people." Shumara said thoughtfully. Her expression was as friendly as ever. No matter what she was thinking, she didn't show it.

"Yes, I can tell you how to find him."

"Thank you," he said, relieved. His relief was short-lived, as she then began a five-minute explanation of the streets, road signs, two flyovers, and four planes. The stairs were followed by eight street names so fast that they merged into a misshapen garbled yard, and his head began to hurt.

"Not that far,"

"And it's very simple, after finding the fifth monument, he is nearby. However, if you're not sure, just ask one of my sisters and we'll be happy to help. ”

"All right," Sef said

Dazed. He didn't want her to repeat it.

"Thank you?"

"Anytime, kid."

This made him open his mouth to retort, but - slap, slap - again, he closed his mouth and made no sound. Instead, he turned around and left there as fast as he could. He could feel their eyes fixed on his back.
