Chapter 1797 (1/2)
”So big?” The priest mm was obviously shocked by the city in front of him.
In fact, the area of the city in front of us is not too large. In our country, there are 80 cities of this size, not to mention 100. However, those cities are built on flat ground, but this city is built under the ground. Let's not say how difficult it is to find such a huge cave. Even if such caves are everywhere, if we want to transport building materials to such places with inconvenient traffic before building a city, the workload is definitely two or three times more than building the same city on the ground. Therefore, it is absolutely a miracle to see such a huge city under the ground.
Although I was shocked by the scale of the huge city in front of me, to be honest, I would never choose to build a city here. Not that the dungeon is useless, but because of the location of the city.
Originally, even if the city in front of us is bigger, what we can see is only the construction area in front of us. Just now the priest mm and I were shocked because we saw the whole city at one time, and the reason why we can see the whole city is because we are higher than the city. Yes, it's higher than the city.
I don't know which head of the city was kicked by a donkey. The main body of the city is actually built below the water line. The highest place in the city is the port area where we stand now, and the whole port is a section of something that can be said to be a wall or a dam. After passing through this section of the port area, there are three relatively wide overpasses like roads connecting the city below and the port several tens of meters above the city ground. In addition to the three wide overpasses, there are many small stairs and manual elevators at the edge of the port.
”Master, someone is coming.” My priest mm and I were observing the city below, but the pepper suddenly made a sound to remind us. I turned my head to see the direction of the pepper, and then took the priest mm to hide behind a pile of goods next to it.
The area we're standing in is not called a port area, because it's really a port. Although the water area we just climbed up is underground, it is not closed. Our access to the water was just a small crack in the rock, and the water was connected by two broad waterways. The minimum width of the two waterways we can see is more than 50 meters, and the rock top of the water channel is 60 or 70 meters high from the water surface, and the water depth below is more than 100 meters. That is to say, if the stretch of the waterway is the same as the one we see here, then this waterway can definitely be used as a canal, and this is a quite large canal. In addition, the materials piled up on the port and the dock where a ship is not far away also show that the port is indeed connected to a certain place. Otherwise, it would be impossible to repair the dock here and never accumulate so much material.
When we all hid behind the pile, a small group of NPC patrol team walked past us in a neat pace. However, it was strange that although the patrol team was very orderly, the NPC composed of the team was obviously not a branch of arms. The occupations and ranks of the five NPC members in this five person patrol team are totally unrelated to each other. Such a lineup is very common in the player team, but in the NPC team with the spirit of scale and cooperation as the standard, such a rogue army is relatively strange.
”That team just now...”
”Did you find out, too?” As I watched the patrol go away, I said, ”if I'm right, this city should not be built by a guild alone, but a joint city built by multiple guilds. The members of these patrols should be a mix of troops provided by several guilds, which is why they are so chaotic. ”
”Is that so?” The priest mm looked at the far away patrol and asked, ”shall we go into the city to see the situation? If those black sun League guys don't have much status here, we might as well go straight in and catch those guys and leave. ”
I thought for a while and said, ”if they are just ordinary people here, it's nothing. I'm afraid they are not ordinary people here. In case the people here are with them, we are not afraid of them. It's just that things will become quite troublesome.”
”Anyway, we'll have to look at it first.” Said the priest mm.
I nodded and said, ”let's take a look at the advanced city. Anyway, this is a city shared by many guilds. The personnel should be very miscellaneous. As long as we disguise ourselves as ordinary, we will not attract attention. However, we have to leave the port area first. Besides, it seems that this area is not open to the public. Our presence here will certainly disturb the managers here. ”
”Let's get out of here.”
After making the plan, I asked emmetz to make a camouflage for both of us, and then put up the sand and walked out of the harbor with only pepper.
Pepper's telepathy is basically the same as the bio radar. Any thinking creatures will be found when they enter this area. Therefore, we can turn back and forth between the dense goods and buildings in the port area without hiding at all. Finally, no one touched the edge of the port area.Unlike the port area, which was full of goods and buildings, the edge of the port area is not so good. If you want to get down to the city below, you can only use small stairs and elevators in addition to the three large overpasses. However, the problem is that both the manual elevator and the staircase are all exposed outside the wall of the dam like port area. That is to say, if you walk from the top of the stairs to the city below, we will be completely within the height range of more than ten floors No shelter. During this period, as long as any guard below raises his head, we will be exposed immediately.
In fact, there is also a way to safely go down the stairs to the ground without being found, and that is to use invisibility. With emmenez's illusion skills, it's easy to make us completely invisible. But unfortunately, it doesn't work at all, because the stairs in the port area are all made of metal. No one can see us after we are invisible, but no one's metal ladder is jingling. Are the guards below us stupid? As soon as people hear the ladder ring and find that they can't see, they will immediately think that someone is invisible. When the alarm goes off, we will be invisible. As for the manual elevator, although it is hand-operated, it has a passenger compartment just like the elevator. If the passenger compartment moves by itself when no one is around, it will definitely attract a large number of guards faster than the metal ladder. So stealth doesn't work here.
Looking at the height of more than 40 meters from the ground, I thought for a while, suddenly turned to the priest mm and asked, ”do you mind if I hold you down?”
The priest mm was stunned by my question, but quickly responded and nodded: ”it's OK.”
Now that people have agreed, I'm not polite. Quickly put away the pepper, let emmetz give us a wide range of invisibility, then jumped out from the edge of the port area, wings behind the moment to support the weight of both of us. Because I only need to land on the ground, so I don't even need to fan. I let myself fly slowly to the roof of a building in the city. After running two steps to stop my body, I jumped down from the back of the building. After landing lightly, I put the priest mm down and removed the invisibility, and continued to activate the illusion to disguise as two ordinary players.
”OK, I'll go out later and pay attention to don't be nervous. Just take yourself shopping in the system city.”
The priest mm nodded: ”don't worry, I'm not stupid.” I could only smile when she said that, and then I took the lead out of the alley behind the building and turned onto the street.
The situation in the city is really similar to what I thought. There are a lot of people walking in and out of the street, and there are all kinds of people. We can't see the difference between us at all. The priest mm was a little nervous at the beginning. It was obviously the first time that she disguised herself and sneaked in. However, her adaptability was very good. After two minutes, she completely recovered to normal. It looked like she was shopping casually.
”Who do you think will build this city?” The priest mm asked while observing the roadside shop.
