Volume 2 Lifting the Sword Chapter 85 Underground City

Perhaps this city in the air is too huge, and nearly an hour has passed when the ship sees the city in the sky, and the ship still has not reached the port of the city in the sky.

The closer you get, the bigger the city in the sky becomes.

After another hour, Galen could finally see the dense ships docked in the harbor, and Galen could finally see the Zaun, which looked like a city in the sky in the distance.

It turned out that the city suspended in mid-air was not really floating in the air, but that the huge city was divided into two layers, and in the middle of the two floors, there were several pillars made of unknown materials, which divided the city into two.

So from a distance, the upper part of the city seems to be suspended in mid-air.

Even if he wasn't floating in the air, Galen was really shocked by the sight of this situation, what kind of technology could levitate such a huge city in the air with just a few pillars?

The ship continued to move and docked at a port that was bustling with merchants and workers carrying goods, of all colors, and Galen even found a few robots in the crowd.

That's right, it's robots, mechanical creatures that resemble humanoids.

Galen and Rui Mengmeng jumped down from the ship, their thoughts flashing, and Galen put the boat into the soul lamp again.

Just as he used the soul guide lamp to put the ship inside, Galen felt a feeling of being targeted, as if a few eyes were staring at him in the dark, Galen turned his head to look, but he didn't find anyone.

Is it a delusion?

Whether it's an illusion or not, it's better to be careful, Zuan is an important trading port at the junction of several countries, and there is a mix of fish and dragons, and there is everyone here.

After going ashore, the two of them didn't take two steps before they stopped again, because Galen didn't know the way, he didn't know anything about a city, and he couldn't just ask Master Rambo where he was on the road.

The most important thing right now is to find a map of the city or find a guide to lead them on their way.

Maybe it was the auspicious nature, or maybe it was something else, as soon as Galen's idea came to him, a middle-aged man sneaked up to him.

"The map is going to be cut, the map is going to be cut?" the middle-aged man said in a low voice as he walked behind Galen, who turned his head to look.

This is a middle-aged man with yellow face and thin muscles, the man's hair is yellow, his face is very tired, and his eye circles are dark, which seems to be caused by staying up late.

"Oh, how do you sell a map?" Galen looked at the middle-aged man curiously, if it was really a map of the city, it would really save him a lot of trouble.

"Two Hex Cores, or 2,000 gold runes. The middle-aged man blinked his small eyes, as if he was a little afraid of something, and ducked behind Galen and said.

"Hex core? what is that" Galen guessed in his heart, thinking that it should be a unique trading item in this city, but these 2000 gold rune coins are really a bit expensive, and Galen only used 700 gold rune coins to auction the negative electrode cloak at the Yager Auction House, but what he needs most now is money, and what he needs most is this map.

So without a trace of hesitation, he took out 2,000 gold rune coins and put them in the man's hand, and the middle-aged man sneakily took out a worn-out paper scroll from his chest, handed it to Galen, and was about to turn around and leave.

Galen grabbed him, the middle-aged man was pulled by Galen, his face was a little frightened, Galen's physique was obviously not an ordinary person, and he had no room for resistance at all if he was rough.

"This gentleman, you must be very familiar with this group of people, how about you please be a guide?" Galen probably already understood that this middle-aged man should be the kind of scalper in the underground black market of every city, specializing in cheating newcomers to the city or selling some local specialties at a low price to earn a huge difference.

This kind of person is not uncommon in any city, and everything is the lord of interests.

Galen's guess was not wrong.

"Lead the way, it's no problem to lead the way, it's just the price.." The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, and his small eyes were full of essence.

"I'll give you another 1,000 gold runes. Galen didn't say a word.

"I'm afraid 1000 won't work, Lord Lanna Alchemy hasn't allowed us to go out of the port to do business recently, and if I get caught, I'll be punished." The middle-aged man didn't know whether he was really afraid of Lord Lanna in his mouth, or if he was lying to Galen, so he said to Galen with an embarrassed face.

Galen didn't know who Lord Lanna was in his mouth, but he still understood the meaning of this man's words, and he still knew that there was less money.

"1500?" the man didn't speak.

"2000, 2000 is the most, if it doesn't work, I'm looking for someone else. "Although Galen is rich now, he is not a fool, as long as this kind of person exists in every city, then there must not be only one, he is just a newcomer, and he doesn't want to bother to find it.

"2000 is 2000. The middle-aged man finally relented and agreed.

"My name is Beno, you can call me Abbe, where do you want to go," the middle-aged man asked as he took a few steps forward from behind Galen and walked in front of the two.

"We don't know where to go, so tell me about the city. Now that Galen had already paid the money, he was not afraid that the man would deceive him again, and generously admitted that he really didn't know anything.

The middle-aged man obviously didn't expect Galen to be so open-minded when he first arrived, and he paused for a moment before he spoke.

"The place we are in now is called Zaun, and the upper class is the place where the big men live, called Piltover, and Zaun and Piltover were originally united and developed together, but for some reason they are now divided. ”

Galen listened with some fascination, it turned out that the upper level of the aerial building was not Zuan, but had another name, called Piltover.

The more they went, the more wrong Galen became, because the underground city was too dilapidated, no, not only dilapidated, but even somewhat rotten.

When I first entered the port, from the port, most of the underground city buildings were made of steel, and even in Demacia, only the Secret Silver City could do it.

But the farther he went, Galen felt that the air began to stench bad, and all around him were corrupted exhaust pipes and hazy clouds of smoke of all colors.

Galen covered his nose and looked at Benoy beside him.

Benoy already knew that Galen was a complete newcomer and really didn't know anything about the city.

"Since the division of Zaun and Picheng, the waste from above will be transported and disposed of here by Hex's transport planes, and the people below are desperately trying to live above, recklessly indulging in the development of alchemical metallurgical technology and Hextech, a large area of Zaun began to be polluted, and over time it became what it is now. ”

Benoy said this, took a deep breath, he was not one of the people who wanted to go to the upper level.

Galen understood, and he thought that Master Rambo also belonged to the study of technology, maybe the person in front of him knew.

"Abbe, do you know Master Rambo?" asked Galen as he asked Beno, who was beside him.

"This is naturally known, Master Rambo came down from the upper level, and studying the Demon God Mecha in the lower level of Zu'an is the pride of our lower level. ”

"Why, can people from the upper level still come to the lower level?" asked Galen curiously.

"Of course you can, the upper layer is not allowed to study polluting technology, so many upper-class Picheng people will return to the upper layer after the lower level has studied it, which is also one of the main reasons why Zu'an is still prosperous although it looks dilapidated. ”

"Then do you know where Master Rambo is now?" Galen didn't expect that he was overjoyed to hear the news of Master Rambo on his first day in Zuan.

"Master Rambo left Zu'an more than ten years ago, and no one knows where he went. Benoy still has some professionalism, took Galen's money, and told Galen everything he knew.

When he said this, Galen was uncomfortable, because the only clue was broken again.

Maybe I'm in a bit of a hurry, Galen thought to himself, he'd only been here for two hours, and he was talking about finding a place to live first, and the smell of the air was terrible, and he had to find a way.

"Abbe, this air is really unbearable, can there be any way to make us feel better?" Galen looked at Rui Mengmeng beside him, the little girl had begun to cough, this is not a good thing.

"Oh, forget you're foreigners, there are multiplex filters and integrated filters for sale, both of which purify the air. ”

"Is there any difference between the two?" asked Galen.

"The multiplex type needs to be inserted into the ear, nose and mouth to purify, and the integrated one can purify the air around one meter is more convenient. ”

"What are the prices, and where else can I get them?" asked Galen.

"A multiplexed 3,000 gold rune coin, an integrated 5,000 gold rune coin, if you want to buy it, you need to go to the Iron Glass City, you can also let me buy it, I know someone in the black market, and it can be delivered to you in an hour, the price of this black market is relatively higher than that of the Iron and Glass City, but you can rest assured, you don't have to pay for this middle price, count it as what I gave you." ”

Benoy may be aware that Galen is going to stay here for a while, and there will be a lot of opportunities for cooperation in the future, which can be regarded as a long-term cooperation offer?

"Then I'm sorry for you, find us a place to live first, we'll wait for you there, by the way, I want two in one. "The sun is very dim in this underground city, and Galen doesn't know what time it is, but it's not too early to think about it, and the rest of the things that are settled first will be slow tomorrow.

Benoy led the two to a stop in front of a building that was much brighter than the others, and the reason why it was brighter than the others was not that the sunlight could shine here, but that there were lights here.

This lamp is not an oil lamp, but a lamp that looks like a small sun, Galen asked from Benoy's mouth, this kind of lamp is called an electric lamp, the principle is a bit complicated, probably related to thunder and lightning.

The building is made of black iron sheets, with a smooth appearance, and it is rare that there is no corrosion, which is relatively clean.

A few Valoran words on the side of the Galen Gate of the "Backstreet Hotel".

The owner of this inn is a short and fat middle-aged aunt, who seems to be no stranger to Beno, Galen paid the price of 200 gold runes and opened two single rooms, and Benoy arranged the two before leaving in a hurry.
