After separating from Monica, Lance and Arashi didn't stay where they were for long, but followed the route indicated on the map and made their way straight to the City of Decay.

After all, Lance wasn't here to meddle around, his purpose was clear, he was to quickly buy enough salamander tails - and if possible, he would try to see if there were any second-level sorcery learning scrolls in the City of Decay. The rest of the things are trivial and not worth mentioning.

In order to avoid more trouble, Lance decisively used the magic carpet after getting the map.

This time, he was clearly much more adept at mastering the magic carpet. At least Arashi sat behind him, and he could gradually let go of the corners of Lance's clothes and sit firmly in the center of the magic carpet.

The underside of the magic carpet is actually very soft, and it feels great to sit on a ball of cotton. If you don't have enough space, you can lie down and rest on a soft sofa.

For ordinary people, it took only half a day for Lance to arrive at the indicator point on the map.

"The big tree ahead is the entrance to the City of Decay. ”

Lance took out Monica's map and looked at it, finally determining the direction.

He lowered the magic carpet in the nearby jungle, a place in the southeastern part of the Black Lands, where the terrifying humidity of the swamp gradually turned into a dense jungle. They walked some distance through the forest and came to the ancient tree that towered into the sky.

Lance walked around the ten-person tree, following Monica's instructions, and lightly tapped his index finger on the bark of the tree three times.

After a while, a gecko skillfully climbed down from a branch. Its eyes are surprisingly large and piercing. It looked at Lance and Arashi and asked in a milky voice:

"Oh guys, don't look at me like that. I'm sure you've never seen a gecko as cute as mine, but be reserved, after all, the people who can find this place are real wizards. ”

"My name is Dilu, and if there is nothing wrong, please give me your [Pale Paperwork]. ”

Lance smiled and handed over Monica's pale paperwork.

Gecko Delu jerks out its slender tongue. A volume of pale papers. He said vaguely, "Wait a moment." ”

Immediately he swished up the branches of the ancient tree and disappeared without a trace.

Lance waited patiently under the tree for about five minutes, and the cute little gecko reappeared, sticking to the branch and shouting, "There is nothing wrong with your paperwork." Enter the City of Decay at any time. ”

Let's talk about it. He spat out the pale paperwork from his mouth. Lance caught it at once.

In the next second, the ancient tree let out a slight trembling sound, and the space seemed to be torn apart in an instant. Countless pitch-black fragments began to retreat to either side.

Lance stepped forward and stepped in. Arashi immediately followed.

They walked in the body of the ancient tree for about half a minute, and a white light immediately appeared in the dark passage.

"Welcome to the City of Decay. ”

A young boy's voice rang in their ears: "I am Dilu, handsome gentleman and beautiful sister, and if you don't mind, I hope I can be your guide in the city of decay." You only need to pay a small amount to get first-hand information about this place. ”

Lance's eyes gradually adjusted to the light, and he saw a little boy with red lips and white teeth standing in front of him, with a shy look on his face.

"Delu, your name is the same as the gecko outside?" asked Lance, curiously.

The little boy immediately smiled wryly and said, "Are you talking about Glass? Yes, that guy always likes to change names, but his talent for naming is very limited, so whenever he wants to change his name and can't think of a good name to replace it, he will secretly borrow the names of us people." ”

Lance nodded. He looked the boy Dilu up and down, and found that his skin was very fair, not the pale of negative energy, but a shiny white.

"No wonder it's called the Bai people, their skin is so fair. Lance looked at the others nearby, and they were also snow-white, almost comparable to a snow demon.

He thought for a moment and asked, "How many magic stones will it cost if I hire you?"

"A magic stone will do. Di Lu said with some excitement: "Sir, I promise that I know this city well!

Perhaps the little guy quickly realized that he was a bit ambiguous in his words, and he immediately added, "Of course, I mean, I can be your guide for the day." All it takes is a magic stone. ”

Lan smiled and said, "What if I increase the money? Can the guide also work part-time in other industries?"

Dilu was immediately frightened and shook his head: "No, no, no, I don't do that kind of business...... I'm only a guide, so if you have any needs for them, you can go to them. ”

So saying, he pointed to the side, where there were three or five boys, fairer and more delicate than Dilu, and looked more lovely.

At the moment when the two were talking, Lance saw a black-robed wizard take away a little boy with red lips and white teeth, the little boy looked a year or two younger than Dilu, and his young teeth were very young.

"It's just crazy......"

Lance silently complained in his heart. I can't imagine that in the wizarding world, there are so many perverts with deformed hobbies.

But the little boy of the Bai people is really cute......

Syllable!

A magic stone with a uniform texture was handed over to Di Lu, and the little boy asked in disbelief, "Aren't you afraid that I will run away if I take the magic stone?"

Lance smiled confidently, "Trust me, you can't run." Let's go. Take us to see the city. ”

......

The name of the Rotten City is so peculiar that most people will think that it is a desolate and abandoned place, full of all kinds of rotting things - corpses, or garbage.

In reality, however, this is an overly crude and blunt misinterpretation. Along the way, Lance found that it was a very neat and clean city, and the people in the city were too pretty.

Sure enough, as Monica said, most of the wizards here are from the Bai tribe. These people walk on the street, the men are handsome, the women are beautiful, and they are really eye-catching. As the saying goes, it is not unreasonable for a white to cover a hundred ugliness.

Under Delu's introduction, Rans gradually got to know the city and its inhabitants.

The Bai are not natives of the Kreeland plane, they came from a distant time and space - it is said to be a half-plane called the Bridge of Rainbows, connecting the upper and middle planes of a secondary universe. The ancestors of the Bai people have lived together for generations with a giant creature called the [Rotten Snail]. Rotting snails are huge, and adult rotting snails are generally the size of small hills.

The shell of this snail is very hard, but the interior is very open, which is very suitable for human habitation. And generally speaking, the rotting snails are asleep and do not wriggle, and the Bai people live in his snail shells, which is very safe.

In return to the rotting snails, the Bai people who live in the snail shells will remove the rotting snails from their bodies and the carrion and parasites that grow inside the snail shells every day. Over time, the place where the Bai people lived was called the country of decay. But in fact, the Bai people are one of the most clean races in the world, and the habit of cleaning the snails every day has been deeply engraved into their bone marrow, so that no matter how many generations later, the Bai people are very diligent and have a certain degree of cleanliness.

Therefore, this rotten city was also built by them to be exceptionally clean.

Unlike the rest of the race, the Bai people are a mixed system of wizards and mortals. The social relationship between them is somewhat like the relationship between the commoners and the wise men in the tribe, and most of the sorcerers of the Bai tribe are regarded by the Bai commoners as wise prophets and powerful guardians. And the wizards of the Bai tribe also have a sense of racial honor and are very friendly to the commoners.

Such a harmonious situation is difficult to see in other places.

......

"Our ancestors were caught up in a sudden temporal storm, and if it weren't for the rotting snail sacrificing its life to save everyone, I'm afraid we would have died in the tyrannical temporal storm. Thanks to the efforts of the rotting snails, the ancestors survived the most difficult times, and they came here to open up a whole new realm of decay. Unfortunately, when we arrived, the snail that had been protecting us had run out of vitality and died. ”

Dilu's voice was filled with respect and gratitude, and he pointed to the outline of a hill in the distance and said, "That's the snail that protected us from coming to this world, he has been dead for a long time, and his name is [Tata]. Because every time he wants to move, he makes a sound like 'Tata, Tata' to remind us who dwell in him. He's a good snail. ”

Lance nodded, and he increased Hawkeye's vision enhancement multiplier to finally make the blurry outline clear.

It was indeed a huge snail shell, with a beautiful outline on it, and some moss had grown in some places, and a few Bai people were driving ladders to clean up the moss. They were very careful in their movements, and it was obvious that they had a lot of respect for the snail Tata.

"A race that knows gratitude, it's rare. Lance sighed.

"Not everybody knows how to be grateful. Dilu emphasized, "The Demon Spring Chamber of Commerce, the largest trading house in the City of Rot, has been secretly trying to sneak some pieces from Lord Tata's shell to study witchcraft and make magical items...... I'm not a wizard, so I don't know much about it, but they make everyone angry. ”

"The Demon Springs Chamber of Commerce?" Lance secretly jotted down the name.

"Well, after walking for so long, the two adults must be very tired. I'm going to take you to a very affordable hotel now, the environment inside is super good, and the fee is very cheap, and the accommodation fee for a week is only a magic stone!" (to be continued......
