Translator: Atlasstudios Editor: Atlasstudios
As one of the busiest cities in the Northern Paphield, the Deep Stone City had a distinct characteristic that differs fro to the deep pit under the town, Deep Stone City was originally a small town, but after a number of natural resources were discovered and excavated fro town As such, the entire Deep Stone City was built above the pit
If one observed the layout of Deep Stone City from above, the toas like an obverse wall decoration on top of the conical pit; it looked small and inconspicuous But the interior of the town made it an ies, and those small holes fro caverns that housed people In Deep Stone City, every house, shape, and object complemented each other to form a visual experience that each visitor would remember distinctly
Similarly to other cities, Deep Stone City also had its own public segregation, which was divided from the top to the bottommost of the town The noble district was located at the top, where the nobles could enjoy the sun and bathe in the cool, fresh river and generally live a comfortable life Next was the commercial district and the residential district, which occupied the three layers below the noble’s district Lastly, the lowest layer was the slums; not only the people there lived in perpetual darkness, but there was also a shortage of basic necessities There were even rumors that the devils could casually make a meal out of someone in the depths of the dark pits Only desperate people or specialized miners would enter the dark pits of the town
“Deep Stone City…”
As Matt walked down froe, his expression tensed up He stood on the roadside while staring at the darkness not too far in front of him A vast, colossal pit stretched froh
“Although I have visited asp Holy Spirit blessout such a huge and bottomless pit”
Matt licked his lips in awe and turned towards Rhode as standing beside hi, “Mr Rhode, have you heard that in this city, even the oldest e pit It is truly aI ht? But in the end, even they do not knoas inside Hard to iine, isn’t it?”
“Indeed so”
Rhode nodded, but he did not continue to say anything Unlike Matt, of course, he kneas at the bottoon Soul Continent For ordinary people, perhaps they would not dare to take the risk to find out But players did not care about death If they could solve the mystery, then it won’t matter even if they died a hundred times
However, sometimes the price isn’t worth the trouble
After entering the city, the first impression the party received was silence Contrary to their expectations of a bustlinghub, every inch of the town around the that broke the silence was clinking of iron when the carriage rolled forward
Unlike Matt, Rhode wasn’t fascinated by thetown He only looked up towards the blue sky, his eyes gazing at the h his vision could pierce through the rocks, he saw the Golden City Castle resting on Fairy Lake and also the person who lived inside… It was ‘that person,’…that slender, charure
Suddenly, Rhode seeht crept on the blood-stained hills Under the dieous arround with a hundred thousand ar at the front of her
The blood-stained, crimson sunset traced her silhouette When she lowered her head, her usual glearandeur as it swept in the wind messily, and the breeze caused the broken feathers on her pure, white wings to lightly sway However, there was no hesitation in her eyes as she turned towards Rhode Her pale lips slightly parted, revealing a brilliant smile
“Is that so… very well…”
She whispered to herself, and then closed her eyes
Suddenly, everything was shrouded in darkness
For a second tioal And at that ive up his free player identity and create a guild With that shi+ft in a the three eras using his oo hands But he wasn’t satisfied because, in the depths of his heart, there was a trace of regret
He thought he had lost all hope to make up for it
But now, a new chance to make amends had appeared
Rhode kneould happen to this continent It would be an unprecedented catastrophe for all living beings Even now, as everything appeared to be quiet and serene, he knew that this was just the cal on thin ice, this peace ht be destroyed at any time, and only chaos awaits
However, Rhode wasn’t in a hurry He knew that it was useless to be anxious Fro to the history he knew, then there would still be roughly one to two years of stability It was enough time to complete his preparations After that, he had to consider how to survive in the calamity
If he could, he wouldn’t use this risky method, but he understood how terrible the calaon Soul Continent would not be able to escape the catastrophe It would be better if heit
Returning to the present, Rhode pulled his cloak and hid his face No matter if it was the real or virtual world, his facial appearance would easily stir up trouble Thus, it was better if he avoided it completely
“Mr Rhode”
At this ti miss to his side Perhaps, it was because he returned to his territory, his attitude was more confident than before
“It’s all thanks to you that we could arrive back in time”
Rhode’s eyes then swept across the people behind Ben
“She should be okay, right?”
He casually noticed the paleness on her face
Upon hearing Rhode’s inquiry, Ben could only reveal a helpless sht It’s just that she’s still in shock Ms Lize had already healed her, so there’s no problem physically”
