Chapter 163: The Walled City of Muhammad
What would a town of merchants, pirates, and adventurers look like?
The answer is that this is not a town at all, and in Lu Jing's opinion, it is undoubtedly more appropriate to call the building complex in front of him with a walled city.
On both sides of the cramped street, where only five people can pass side by side, taverns, weapons shops, and stalls selling all kinds of seafood can be seen everywhere, and the cries of the stall owners, the noise of drums in the taverns, and the conversation of passers-by are mixed together, making people feel that the whole person is wrapped in this thick smoke and fire atmosphere when they enter the street.
Lu Jing didn't like this feeling of crowding, especially on the bottom street full of drunkards and the smell of the sea, so that his eyes basically didn't stop on both sides along the way.
Why is it a ground floor?
Because this is only the lowest part of the Walled City of Muhammad, it is also reserved for the destitute outlaws who want to try their luck here, where they will be squeezed of their last money and plunged headlong into the sea known as the Forbidden Land.
Not being able to return is a common occurrence, and those lucky enough will have the opportunity to go to the next level and enter the real walled city of Muhammad Island.
It was a patchwork of walled high-rise buildings in stark contrast to the chaotic ground streets.
Lu Jing looked up at the height of about ten meters around his head, connected by a sky corridor in the middle, and built all kinds of buildings, perhaps in order to pursue efficiency when building, these buildings basically have no artistry, some are just the same metal shell and the general shape of the cylinder, and there are spiral staircases around them on the periphery, and almost every building has two or three separated shops.
However, in order to attract attention, the merchants who moved in later made their storefronts decorate their storefronts in a similar way, such as hanging colorful billboards or some banners hanging in the air and swaying in the wind.
Lu Jing could see a crowd of people who were obviously more glamorous than the people on the streets on the ground below.
There are also all kinds of shops there, but compared to the chaos below, the shops that can be set up on the second floor undoubtedly have their own backstage and a certain strength, and the customers they face are the ones who really explore the forbidden area and have sufficient funds for it.
Of course, the focus is on the second half.
At the middle end of the street, there are wooden stairs on both sides that are two meters wide, which is the checkpoint to the upper floors, and on the middle platform, there are several guards leaning on the railing and holding dried fruits in their hands, they are all dressed differently, but an iron plaque with the word "Mu" outlined in vermilion hangs from their waists.
"The Muhammad Firm, the master behind the walled city, not only collects money from the shops, but also from people like us who want to climb to the second floor to buy equipment for the expedition. ”
Xu Chu stood behind Lu Jing and reminded,
"When I came here just now, I was able to pass through the port, and now the price is two silver dollars, but these people often deliberately raise the price......"
"Got it. ”
Lu Jing responded sideways, and at the same time as he led a few people to climb the stairs, a gold leaf was thrown up in the air, and it fell straight into the palm of a person who was looking at this side with dried fruits, and without waiting for him to react, he straightly picked up the motorcycle with one hand and walked over.
"Hey!"
Someone wanted to open his mouth to intercept, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the person who received the gold leaf next to him raised his hand and pressed his shoulder, warning with his eyes, and after seeing the golden leaf and the motorcycle in the hands of Lu Jing, who was walking in the forefront, he knew that it was definitely not light at a glance, and immediately returned to his original position.
The people who can guard the pass here, there is still a little bit of eyesight, and the few people who just walked over are definitely not something he can provoke!
"Xu Xu, you take Gorman to buy potions, if you see other practical goods, remember to buy more, maybe you can use them after you are on the boat, Fu Ju followed me to find a guide." ”
Although they had reached a cooperation agreement with Gu Yunling, Lu Jing still planned to find a guide or find a way to get a map of the forbidden area, after all, their cooperation with Gu Yunling was limited to before finding the Sea Burial City, and they would always have to come back after getting the Water Moon Mirror, and the Sea Patrol Elixir was something that had been decided to be started before coming, and if they wanted to enter the Sea Burial City, this thing was essential.
"There's no question, there's something to do with the conch connection. ”
It is forbidden to fight in Muhammad Island, so there is no fear of any accidents when they act separately, even if there are really people who are not open-eyed, whether it is Xu Zuga Gorman or Lu Jing and Fu Ju, they have enough strength to hold on until the team on the other side rushes to support.
Xu Chu took Gorman to leave from the air corridor on the other side, Lu Jing glanced at Fu Ju, who was looking around with a new face, put down the motorcycle in his hand, and said,
"Can you turn this motorcycle into a puppet, it's not tiring to be tired of carrying it with one hand all the time, it's a bit embarrassing. ”
Turning the space storage box into a motorcycle was originally to hide people's eyes, who would have thought that the real shops in this walled city were on the second floor, and it was easy to attract the attention of others by pushing a motorcycle around on the second floor.
"It's not okay to be human, but nothing else. ”
Fu Ju clapped his palms, and the motorcycle immediately began to deform, and finally transformed into a huge wolf dog, squatting in front of Fu Ju with its tail flicked,
"Just changing the look is the limit of what I can do. ”
"Okay, it's all eye-catching anyway, at least I don't have to carry a motorcycle around anymore, remember that others can call yourself a puppeteer. ”
Lu Jing patted the glass that was trying to climb above his head, letting it stay on his shoulder, and at the same time waved his hand to signal Fu Ju to follow him.
"This is the first time I've come to this place, and I'm not familiar with the place, where are you going to find a guide?"
Letting the sand iron puppet and the wolf dog follow behind him, Fu Ju took two steps and came to Lu Jing's side.
"Kebei, most of these shops are prepared for the fleet that is going to the forbidden area, and the people in it may not know anything else, but the things about the forbidden area must be clearer than ours, and Gu Yunling They have to take two or three days to rest and recuperate, and we have time to find it slowly. ”
Lu Jing had seen the degree of damage to the official ship, and if it was another time, he wouldn't even think about it for ten days and half a month if he wanted to finish resting and recuperating.
It's just that Gu Yunling didn't seem to plan to waste time here this time, so when the two sides discussed the time of action before, they said that they planned to use the official ship as collateral to rent a ship with the Mu family firm here, so that they only needed to move the things on the ship to a place, counting the preparation time on Mu Shi Island, three days was enough.
