Chapter 1616: Barren Rock City
Araitan Castle is not a place where people come and go, and it is an isolated world compared to outsiders. As its name suggests, Barren Rock Castle is located in the UlΓ©nees Mountains on the Moratima Plateau, tucked away between the peaks of the Rising Sun and the Broken Bone Ridge. The average altitude is more than 5,000 meters, it is very desolate, and the place where the city is located is even more barren and rubble. It is said that Araiwa Castle is not its current name, but it has existed a long time ago, and the Araiwa Castle itself was not newly built, but was built on an old site, while maintaining the original appearance of the old site as a whole.
When the Ice Evil came here, it was already snowing heavily, and the snow covered the plateau and froze the water into ice springs, but there were warm springs that bubbled up from the ground and the frozen soil was cold. If it weren't for someone to lead the way, it would have been difficult for him to find the location of Wasterock City from the Chaotic Peak, it was so wild that he couldn't find a single weed, and occasionally he could see the foot crawling snake in the high mountain area burrowing through the cracks in the rocks.
Alice is such an energetic person, she is too tired to climb here, the air is thin, and it is difficult to breathe is a reason.
"There's Araren Rock City ahead. Jennifer pointed to the light behind the low ridge in front of her: "You can see it when you cross the hillside ahead." β
By this time it was already night, the snow had stopped, thin stars hung in the sky, and the snow on the ground was not deep. Jennifer, Bing Zhixiao and the others carried backpacks and luggage, walked on the messy and awkward gravel road, and walked up the hillside. Along the way, Ice Childish, Alice, and Hubble took turns taking care of Sofina, and they all lost their smiles when they saw her crazy appearance.
"Is this Wasterock City?"
A beam of turquoise light shot straight into the clouds and slowly faded away, and the green light was emitted by a large building, surrounded by many houses. Next to it, there is a very tall pillared castle, several hundred meters high, and the city is lit with lights. The city is also full of lights. In addition to these two population centers, there are also a number of population centers scattered around the surrounding mountains, all of which are stone hill buildings with a few stars shining through the night.
"Wow, it's amazing that there are so many people living in this place. Alice was amazed. But she immediately thought of a question: "Do so many people live here? How do they live, there is nothing in the vicinity, where can they get food?"
Jennifer said with a smile, "Wasterock City has a logistics department dedicated to delivering food, and every season they go to various places to purchase a large amount of food. β
"Isn't it too much trouble, it's a long way to get food here. "Bingzhi heresy.
Jennifer said: "No, our food is transported by air, and we can deliver it in the fastest way to reduce loss. β
"Air transport!" Alice was taken aback, she was able to send a large amount of material here by air, which is not something that any organization or city can do. What's more, on this kind of high-altitude plateau mountain range, the requirements for flying and transporting Warcraft are very high.
Everyone continued to walk a few forwards, and Bing Zhixie saw that there were many ruins of ancient buildings in this vicinity, and he heard Jennifer and them say that this place was built on ancient buildings, so he was very curious and took a few more looks. Coming to the high city walls, the guards of the city shouted, "Who is down there?"
"It's me Jennifer. Ghoul Fly Squad. Jennifer replied.
After a while, a few people came down from the city. After confirming his identity, he asked the guards on the city wall to lower the drawbridge and open the city gates.
The heavy drawbridge was lowered, the thick city gate opened, and Alice followed the ghoul fly team behind, looking around and saying, "It's so strict here." It's like a barracks area. β
Bing Zhixiao helped Sofina, who was temporarily calm, and carefully helped her across the bridge into the city, for fear that if she moved too big, it would stimulate her.
In fact, Arashi Rock City is not very famous in the world, and very few people know about it, even if they have heard of it. Not much is known about this either. Under normal circumstances, the people of the city would not bring outsiders here, but when it came to the Sand Temple, Jennifer had to 'risk' bring them here, because for doing so she might be punished and reprimanded, such as not eating for two days.
When I entered the city, I found that the atmosphere in the city was far less strict than what I saw outside the city, and the air was relaxed and happy, which was no different from the ordinary city. There are also special patrols patrolling the streets to maintain order in the city.
Jennifer told her companion to go first, and then turned to the ice and said to them, "I'll find a place to settle you down first, and I'll pass on your word to Lord SΓΉ Castle Keeper of your intentions." β
Alice said, "Thank you very much, lead the way." β
The place where it is located is a welcome hall, because there are few people in Arayan Castle, so although there are various shops and restaurants in the city, there are no hotels. After settling Sofina well, she was given a calming medicine, which is not good if you take too much, it will affect the brain IQ, and if you take it for a long time, you may become demented. But Sofina's situation is strict, and there is no way.
Bing Zhixiao coaxed Sofina to sleep by the bedside, and sighed in his heart, that sunny teacher would be reduced to such a point.
Although it was dark, it was still early, and Bing Zhiyi wanted to go out for a look to learn about the situation in the city, and told Alice to take good care of Sofina.
Alice also wanted to go out and have a look, but now she was not as willful as before, and obediently listened to Master's words and stayed in the welcome hall.
The night was uneventful, and the next day the city guard sent men to see them. Ice Childish asked Alice to help Sofina and went with the people who came to invite her.
The castle guard was in the tallest pillar of the castle, and the ice boy went up the ring corridor around the castle, and when he was halfway up, he glanced down at the castle through the wall gate, and from here he could see the entire city below.
The castle keeper didn't stay at the top of the castle, no one wanted to live on such a high place, and in a hall in the middle of the area, Ice Childish met the castle keeper. He had heard Jennifer introduce him to the castle keeper, a seventy-seven-year-old man named Saru Germeni. His hair and beard are gray, he has thick eyebrows, his face is very thin, and he wears a long red magic robe with patterns, he looks very tall, but in fact he is about 1.8 meters tall and about the same as the average tall person. I've also heard that he has a nickname called 'Kuroshio', and that he specializes in water magic.
Geermeni saw Bing Zhiyi and the others coming. One at Sofina and asked, "This is the patient?"
"Yes sir. Bing Zhiyi said with a greeting ceremony.
Without saying much, Germeni separated his left and right hands, and a cloud of air flowed upwards from his palms, and a purple and a green gathered to hit Sofina. Sofina was enveloped by the air currents, but nothing out of the ordinary. With the help of the magical currents, Germeni reached into Sofina's body and observed her internal and mental state.
After a short while, he withdrew his magic power and said, "I know her situation, I can't cure her." β
Bing Zhiye was stunned, but he didn't expect him to say it so neatly.
Alice was a little angry, puffed out her face and said, "Can you see the condition clearly in such a short time? Don't fool us and try to send us away." β
Germeni glanced at Alice, ignored it, and said, "I said I couldn't be cured." It doesn't mean that Araitan City can't be cured. I'm good at internal and external injuries, and mental health is not my strong point. With her mental trauma, only the lord of the city can heal her. β
Bing Zhi asked, "I heard that the city lord is not here, I don't know how long it will take to come back?" I hope to stay here and wait for him to come back." β
"You are lucky," said Germeni, "that the lord will be back in a few days at the latest. You can stay at the Welcome Hall and wait. β
Bing Zhiyi was excited: "Thank you, Lord Castle Guard." β
Germeni said, "Don't be in a hurry to say thank you, but talk about the reward for your friend's healing." β
Bing Zhiye was already prepared, and said, "City guard, please speak, I don't know what kind of conditions can heal my friend?"
Germeni waved his hand. Call the people below and say, "Take this sick person away first, and don't let any idle people come near you." β
"Yes. A man and a woman followed Cong from the hands of Bing Zhixie and helped Sofina to leave.
"Hey. This...... Where are you taking Sofina-sensei?" Alice was a little worried that they were going to take people away.
Germeni saw their concern and said, "You don't have to worry, my men will take good care of her." If you don't trust me, you can pick up the patient and leave here. β
Ice Childish asked Alice not to speak, and asked, "Castle Guard, please make your terms." He knew that the reward for Barren Rock City would not be money, given the size and manpower of the city. There are many ways they want to make money, and they don't need to use it this way. To heal others of diseases that others cannot cure is bound to obtain greater benefits.
"First," said Germeni, "I have heard from Jennifer that you have a similar purpose to them, and that you are looking for the tomb of Phocani GLONAS. β
"Yes. β
"I hope if you have a conflict of interest with them in this matter," Germeni said. You have to get them. β
"Okay, I'll sue you. "Bingzhi did not hesitate to say thissy.
Alice looked at the master in some surprise. This means that if there is a dragon zero in GLONASS or the Sand Temple, and Sandstone City wants it, then Master will have to give it to them unconditionally.
Germeni continued: "Second, you have to contribute yourself to the study of it. Including your body and soul, as well as your magical abilities. β
Bing Zhiye was stunned, twisted his eyebrows and said, "Study me?"
"I know you, Celeste Ice, that you should have died in the events of two years ago, but now you have suddenly come back to life, so I am interested in you, and I want to know how you did it, and what secrets you are hiding," said Germeni. β
Bing Zhixiao hesitated, not that he was reluctant to give up himself. It's that their purpose is too naked. Once they are allowed to study their bodies, understand their spiritual consciousness, and know their magical strength, then their weaknesses will be completely exposed to them.
Bing Zhixiao thought twice and said, "I can agree." But what are you going to do with me?"
Germeni stretched out a finger and said: "The one-month deadline, completely surrender your body, at the mercy of you, and you can't resist." I promise that I will never hurt you. β
"Good!" replied.
"Master!" Alice is not stupid, he can hear the other party's intentions, and this promise Master has no reservations, and there are no hole cards.
