Chapter 617： : 23 things about the giant city of Rentax [Five K] (1/2)
He turned around and pointed to the Vielletine hanging on the side of the horse, and said politely.
The holding of the competition conference is also a rare event in the giant city.
Under normal circumstances, it may not be held once every few years.
So in recent months, many young talents have come from everywhere.
There are even young men from other great cities and kingdoms.
In addition to winning the competition, you can get the right to participate in the noble banquet hosted by Henry Lancaster.
You can also get a small bonus.
Of course, the above two items have almost no attraction to the descendants of nobles.
What they care more about is to stand out and get a good place in the competitive conference, because the prestige brought by each competitive conference is huge, especially for those contestants who perform well in the competitive conference.
For the noble children who are not worried about food and clothing, they care more about prestige.
Gaining a good reputation will be of great help to their future development in the aristocratic circle.
In addition to the children of nobles, young people from all over the world are also eager to try.
Prepare to prove yourself in the competition.
So recently, many young people from all over the world came to the giant city to participate in the competition.
In particular, England is still a dusty appearance.
Hearing his words, the guard soldier on duty just nodded expressionlessly.
Raising the magic disk in his hand, a dim white light swept across England's face.
Under the ray of light, his face did not change.
At this time, the soldier on duty nodded, put away the long sword in his hand, and turned his head slightly to indicate that he could enter the giant city.
England nodded calmly, turned around and took up the reins of the lame white horse.
He actually had some doubts in his heart, but the gate guard was reluctant to say much, and he didn't want to get into any trouble. According to England's previous experience, unless there was a war around the giant city, it was usually not so strict to enter and exit the giant city.
Suppressing the puzzlement in his heart, England Mu rode his white horse again and walked towards the outer city of Rentax, preparing to find a tavern to cover the news with a few glasses of wine.
As a bard, I often go to taverns everywhere to touch the tone.
A tavern is a place full of infinite possibilities.
Here and you may be able to meet horse bandits who enter the city concealing their identities, nobles who go out and experience, down-and-out travel merchants, and bartenders who are always in a state of drunkenness.
In addition, the pub is also a place where black street mice gather.
These black street rats are active in the slums, forming a hidden underground network in a city.
They tend to know a lot of gossip.
Can keenly capture any bells and whistles in the giant city.
The rats are not very powerful, but they are more numerous and good at fanning the flames.
It is said that even the ”Shadow Dragon” who is in charge of intelligence in the Kingdom of Avalon has cultivated black street forces in some giant cities to inquire about the secrets of the city.
Englandham is very clear about this, after all, the bard is also a special kind of messenger.
After passing through the pass, from time to time on both sides of the straight road of the giant city, you can see teams of well-armed cavalry passing by. These cavalry are majestic and attract the attention of the civilians and farmers on the road.
”If it's just a banquet for the competition and the Marquis of Lancaster.”
”The giant city shouldn't be so heavily guarded.”
He pondered secretly in his heart, and his travel intuition told him that something must have happened in the great city of Rentax!
The most important thing at the moment is to find a hotel and settle down immediately, and then go for a drink or two. By then, you should be able to figure out what happened.
Englandm shook his head lightly, removing all distracting thoughts, and while observing the surrounding situation, he walked along the straight road towards the outer city of Rentax.
From a distance, the entire Rentax giant city looks like a gray beast crawling on the ground.
There is a unique ”soul” belonging to a city itself.
…
At the same time, the third district of the giant city of Rentax.
This is the third circle of the four major circles in the city, and it is a circle where the middle-class people in the city gather.
Countless stone roads cut the third circle into different areas.
Among them are the houses of small nobles and merchants, as well as the houses of small workshop owners and farmers.
The overall level of regularity is much better than that of the fourth circle.
In a large commercial street on the north side of the third circle floor.
The door of the Greenfield Chaolu Tavern was tightly closed.
The signs on the tavern are inscribed with green leaves and vines.
There are also vines planted on the fence outside, blooming with lovely little white flowers.
The fence outside the tavern is hung with a [closed] tag, which makes the tavern seem a little deserted.
Behind the closed door, every table and chair in the hall of the tavern was wiped clean.
A small wooden chair with a backrest was placed upside down on the table.
There are wine glasses upside down on the bar.
Since the doors and windows were closed, the hall looked very dark.
There is also a wooden staircase on the side leading to the second floor.
Just looking at the layout, there is not much difference compared to those common taverns.
Just under the stairs, there is a hidden tunnel.
This tunnel is all made of bluestone, and it glows with cold light in the dim environment.
The tunnel is very long, and there is even a pulp on the wall.
Has a rustic feel.
Walking down the tunnel along the steps, you will suddenly be enlightened at about thirty or forty meters underground.
There are secret passages and stone chambers opened up here.
There are many branches of the secret path, and no one knows where it can lead.
On the bluestone wall of the secret road, there is a green leaf painted, and there is an eye in the middle of the green leaf.
Every other distance, a thick branch sticks out from the wall, with a fist-sized fruit hanging from the top of the branch. This fruit is always emitting a white light.
This is the lighting in the secret passage.
In one of the stone chambers in the secret passage, a tall man covered in bruises was tied to a wooden stake.
A handsome blond elf man holds a blood-stained green vine long whip.
Behind him sat two beautiful high elf women.
They were wearing silver-white light armor, each holding a peculiar silver-gray mask in their hands.
Her bright yellow hair went straight over her shoulders, and the elf pointed ears were particularly striking, one with longer hair was more dignified, the other with shorter hair more lively.
The short-haired elf girl looked at the tall man, turned and said to the long-haired elf woman.
”Sister Ella, it's been seven days, is this human still unwilling to tell the location of the Tibetan slaves?”
The dignified elf girl named Ella turned her head calmly.
”I want to know how he knew about the Eye of the Elf meeting a week ago.”
”There may be the participation of those nobles.”
”The most important thing is that that opportunity is an opportunity. I am worried that some of my compatriots have been corrupted and the news has been leaked.”
”By the way, Heya, the giant city is under martial law recently, have you heard any news?”
Heya shook her head and put on the mask in a bored way.
I saw that she immediately changed from a beautiful high elf woman to a middle-aged woman in her thirties and forties.
Neither the signature pointed ears nor the beautiful blonde hair disappeared.
”According to Brother Kaxiu, it seems that the second prince of the Pendragon royal family is here.”
”The Marquis of Lancaster is the son of the second prince.”
”You must know that the three princesses now control the giant cities along the eastern coast.”
”It's adjacent to the east, so I guess it's a fight for power.”
Heya adjusted her mask and walked out of the stone room with agility.
”Then dear sister Ella, the task of interrogating this slave trader is left to you and brother Saroyan!”
”I went out for a trip, and I've been suffocating to death recently!”
”Let's see if there is any news from the rats in the fourth circle!”
The crisp voice drifted away, echoing in the secret passage.
Ella shook her head helplessly and looked at the elf man standing in front again.
”Saroyan, feed this human a moon spring, and he fainted again.”
”Speaking of which, it is thanks to another human being that we can know the actions of these slave traders this time.”
”Looking back now, he should have known our identities back then.”
”Wait a few days later, I think it is necessary to send someone to contact.”
The male elf named Saroyan with a green vine whip turned around.
He raised the back of his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
The green vine whip in his hand was about the size of a thumb, and the surface was covered with hook-like thorns.
By this time, blood was already dripping.
When the whip fell, a drop of dark red blood flowed and landed on the ground.
”Ella, this slave trader's mouth is so hard!”
”Always refuse to explain the real Tibetan slave land!”
”There are only some human slaves in the location he mentioned earlier.”
”But according to his purpose, it is clearly a slave hunter targeting the elves.”
”I don't know how many compatriots fell into his hands and became playthings.”
Saroyan said through gritted teeth.
Ella, who seemed calm and solemn, also frowned.
”You can only continue the interrogation!”
”In addition, what I'm more concerned about is how he knew about the Elves' Eyes gathering. Can he explain this matter?”
