The dim light of dawn drove away some darkness from the earth. Heras was suspended on the edge of the woods, looking at the shadowy stone city in front of him. This city built on the mountain has no city walls. Although it was once known as the Golden Mountain,
In fact, it is a small mountain range composed of hills. The hills of the mountain range are riddled with holes, and the foundations of the buildings are laid directly on the hollowed-out open-air mountains in the Jinshan abandoned mining area. The city is connected along the abandoned mining area.
into one piece.
The building materials of this city are all locally sourced, built directly from stones dug out from the mountains. The architectural style can no longer be described as chaotic, it is simply abstract. And it is not the kind of abstraction that humans can appreciate.
.....For example, that conspicuous building made of broken eggshells mixed with some kind of mucus. If he hadn't seen a lot of goblins climbing up and down the outer wall of the building, Herath would have thought it was some kind of Warcraft.
's lair.
There are rubbles scattered everywhere around the Jinshan abandoned mining area, and only some sparse plants grow in the cracks of the rubble. Since there is no city wall in Rika, Heras just found a relatively flat place to land. He didn't want to be like a target.
After flying over the racially mixed city and putting the druid down casually, Heras simply ordered: "Lead the way."
Aksu glanced at the gravel mountain roads and said flatteringly: "You can ride me up there, it will be faster." After saying that, the black velvet robe on the druid wrapped him tightly, and he pounced forward.
Transformed into a strong night-sword saber-toothed tiger.
The corner of Herath's mouth twitched, and he asked expressionlessly: "Aren't you afraid that I will become addicted to riding?"
There was clearly a look of regret in the brown-yellow striped pupils of the Night Blade Sabretooth Tiger, and he flattered with a low roar: "You are an intermediate mage who can fly, so of course you look down on mounts like me...
.”
"That's not certain." Heras said as he stepped on the tiger's back. The black fur was soft and smooth, and felt quite comfortable.
The Night Blade Saber-toothed Tiger dug the gravel with his front paws angrily. He regretted it very much now. Why did he bother to do this? Being led by someone to go shopping is not a very honorable thing...
Riding a Druid for the first time made Herath feel very good. He patted Aksu on the head and said jokingly: "Go forward, young man."
Upon hearing this, the druid obediently fell to the ground, flicked his limbs, and galloped away along the gravel mountain road at a speed that surpassed that of a horse.
The streets of Lika City are full of garbage on both sides, and are filled with all kinds of stinks. Some orcs defecate on the side of the road, making the streets smell like toilets, and trolls like to chop off the heads of their prey.
Hanging it in front of the door to dry makes the street smell as disgusting as a morgue.
As soon as he entered the city, Heras couldn't help but cover his nose, but Aksu seemed to be used to it. The druid said as he ran: "It's much better in the territory of humans and elves. There are people from various races brought here from where they live."
Specialty trading products contribute a lot of tax revenue to the Inheji Kingdom every year.”
The residents on the street all looked at the running night-sworded saber-tooth tiger. This sturdy mount was really attractive. Just when the druid turned into an alley, he walked out of a house made of animal bones on the street.
An old and skinny troll came out, he
His fangs were dry and full of cracks, and the mottled hair hung from the top of his head to his heels. He used his thin right hand to push back his hair, revealing a pair of cloudy eyes, "Aksu! That guy is not dead... and is still regarded as a human being.
Got a mount?"
The druid was so agile in the alley that he avoided various obstacles. The debris piled on both sides and the brackets protruding from the window sill did not affect his speed at all. When he passed by a window sill, a photo was taken from inside
A big green fist said, "Get away, Elf!" With a loud roar, the fist hit Aksu with the sound of howling wind.
Before the fist could get close, a light wind blade quickly cut through the air and cut off the green fist to the wrist.
The druid kicked off the severed arm with his front paws, and used the force to jump over the alley wall. "Nok, thank you for helping me!" he taunted with joy, and the orc beat him several times until he fled in panic.
If he hadn't been riding a mid-level mage, he wouldn't have dared to take a shortcut here.
After the druid jumped over the wall, the blood from the broken wrist spurted out. Only then did the orc feel that his fist had fallen off. He roared in pain, "Aksu, I'm going to eat your head!"
"Without fists, you have to survive in this city first." The Druid paid no attention to this threat. Just when he was complacent, a chill spread from his head and neck, making tiger hair all over his body.
It stood up straight, and my scalp felt numb.
"Do it again, I guarantee you will be much worse off than that orc." Herath threatened lightly. This druid actually dared to use his power. Even though he never had much temper, he couldn't help but become angry at this moment.
"It's definitely not what you think! Dear Amar scholar, I took a shortcut because I thought you couldn't stand those dirty streets. Look, the Sinvasa Guild is just ahead!" Aksu explained in a panic.
Heras removed his hands from the druid's head and neck. He had just cast a consciousness identification technique on the elf and found that he was indeed telling the truth. Otherwise, Aksu's tiger head would have rolled to the ground at this moment.
Not long after they left, crackling sounds of fighting began to be heard in Nok's room, accompanied by various explosion sounds. Those people of all ethnic groups who took advantage of the situation could no longer restrain their greed. It seemed that as long as there was no one in this city,
Losing power, the ending is generally not very optimistic...
The window sill opposite Nok was pushed open by a pale hand. Two figures shrouded in black robes quietly looked at the bloody scene in the opposite room. One of the figures in black robes had a face so dry that only a layer of skin remained.
Gray dead skin, burning in his empty eye sockets
There was a faint blue soul fire. The other person's face could not be seen clearly. She could only be judged from her chest to be a woman. Some pale smoke twisted in her hood, covering her face. Those tumbling
There seemed to be countless souls wailing and screaming in the thick white smoke.
"Edwin, this orc corpse is mine..." the man in black robes with eyes burning with soul fire said hoarsely, and his pronunciation made people feel that his throat had hardened into dried meat, "I am in urgent need of
Powerful new flesh and blood to replenish brain nutrition! Now I feel that my intelligence is getting lower and lower. Except for the spells engraved in the soul, other magics are extremely laborious for me to perform even with the assistance of precise gestures and spells!"
"As you wish...Rotande, you should have died long ago. Anyway, I would rather die than become a low-minded lich, and I am more interested in that Amarr." Another person, Shashad, said
She said, her voice was like two rough thigh bones rubbing against each other. The smoke on her distorted face rolled rapidly and regularly with her breathing as she spoke, and the traces of smoke that escaped smelled like a burning corpse.
"You are getting more and more fragrant... Edwin, if you need it, I can let you enjoy it later." Rotande gasped and said intoxicatedly, and then he rubbed his hands
He rubbed his two finger bones, which were only covered with a layer of dry skin, as if to show off some function that he had long lost.
"Of course I need it...your sharp nails make me want to stop..." Edwin said with a 'smiling smile', his voice so charming that it changed to like two pieces of cartilage rubbing...
Aksu jumped onto a lawn so lightly that there was no stench wafting in the street. Instead, there was a faint scent of wild flowers. Among the surrounding messy stone buildings, there was a large artificially planted green space, and in the green space there was a clear artificial lake.
Lake, in the middle of the lake stands an elf-style building with a painted
Painted with hollow patterns, the pillars of the building are all thick tree trunks covered with green leaves. At the top is a spacious terrace covered with some bark tiles. The wooden stairs seem to come directly from the tree trunks supporting the building.
It grows out the same way, and is made of rattan woven into a series of steps with trumpet-shaped petals.
"Aksu?! You actually let a human ride on you!" Herath had just gotten off the druid's back, and a clear voice screamed with unbelievable anger.
"Oh, dear Palina, if this respected Emma scholar hadn't saved me, you might not have been able to see your lover. I think it's not too much to let this gentleman ride for a while." Aksu said in a slick tone.
Dao, trying to cover up his flattery behavior.
"But you have never let me ride!" Palina said angrily. Without waiting for her lover to protest, she strode heavily on Aksu's back, and her slender hands were so elegant that she grabbed her lover's ears. "
Run for me quickly! Hurry up!"
Heras looked at this speechless scene and somehow took the initiative to say: "It was indeed me who saved him. At that time, he was being chased by trolls and was almost dead."
Upon hearing these words, Palina's hand holding her lover's ear froze, "The King of Eternal Night... Aksu, have you really accepted that mission?" She shed tears as she said that,
He hit the Druid hard on the head and said, "You hid it from me again...!"
"I just want to unblock the meditation space..." Aksu turned his head and licked the female elf's hand with his tongue, comforted her for a few times and then continued, "You know, Palina...
...I don’t want to be a level 2 druid for the rest of my life.”
When Palina heard this, she just cried silently and kept scratching the Druid's ears with both hands.
"Okay, come on down. I want to take this distinguished guest from Emma to meet the president." Aksu said softly.
After waiting for a while, seeing that Palina had no response, but hugged his neck tightly from behind, Aksu had no choice but to say to Heras: "Then let's go like this, you don't mind, dear Ai
Ma scholar."
"I don't mind." Heras said expressionlessly. He thought of his wife in the Federation again. He didn't know if she could bear the news of his death in battle...
Aksu stood up slowly after hearing the words, his movements were as gentle as if he was afraid that the female elf would fall down, and then he carried his lover on his back and led the way for Heras...
