Chapter 114 (Chapter 5) Magic Spear (Section 5) The City of Fighting Skills 1
I made up for two days on the weekend. Today I will make up for all the updates from yesterday. Please understand. 5201314926-
I am the dividing line for asking for atonement—
Following the girl's footsteps down into the dark stairs, the ghost Lanhuo floated and guided the way, and went straight forward. As she said, about three or five minutes later, the two walked out of the stair passage one by one, and showed in front of them a large area of ghost fire floating in the air, built by the inner city built by the Black Stone.
[The internal structure of this Shadow City is really weird...] This is Witt's first idea after entering the city.
Not to mention that the stairs that were walking down behind me did not lead to another room, but to the wall on the edge of the city, which was a secret door that looked like a sewer exit.
Look at the huge rocks in the city, some of which were deliberately carved into statues of strange characters or monsters, and more of which were completely randomly in shape and placement. The buildings in the entire city are mostly constructed of black stone. Occasionally, a few buildings with different stones are also made of dark limestone, making the whole city look dull. In addition, the per capita travels in the city, and the whole city maintains a silent style. Only the ghost fire illuminates the road ahead, with a hint of movement in the floating world, but it only adds more weirdness to the scene of this ghost city in the underworld.
Following the girl's footsteps, walking inward in the outer city. When she was about to pass a narrow passage, Witt was stopped by two soldiers wearing black armor. Only then did she realize that she could not carry a mount to the inner city. She could not help but store the ostrich in a public stable not far away on one side, and then she could continue walking inward.
Between the buildings made of huge rocks, the narrow passage was shuttled for about a quarter of an hour. Witt saw a light from the orchid in front of him shining down from the sky like an umbrella-like building like an old Roman arena in the original world. The location of the building seemed to be the center of the entire city.
"Okay, the core business district is right in front. We agreed before, I'll send you here. You can run forward for a few minutes and see the signboard showing the map. In fact, the hotel is not far from here. When you get the map, you will walk northeast, bypass the blacksmith shop, and take two more steps east." This is the longest sentence this girl who has never even shown her makeup and appearance has ever said, "I'm in a different direction from you, so see you again."
"Wait." Wit hurriedly called her, "I don't know your name yet." In fact, he was not sure if this girl with a special personality would be willing to leave her name, but he still told her own way, "My name is Witt, and she is a hand from the flame village."
The girl turned her back and paused for a second, and finally left her name: "My name is Ayatsuji."
After leaving his name, Ayatsuki ran to the left a few steps, and then disappeared after turning a corner.
Following her instructions, Witt successfully found the signboard with the map hanging, took the map and studied it for a while, and found that the Shadow City was a spiral, with the central arena as the origin, and the building's volute pattern and pattern extending outward. No wonder he felt that the road was so strange before. Not only was it narrow, but it was also arc-shaped sections.
After getting the map, the hotel is naturally easy to find. With Ayatsutsuki's earlier prompt, Witt soon arrived at the front of a high-rise building with a conspicuous hotel sign hanging on it.
When I pushed open the tightly closed door, I saw that there were many adventurers sitting on the rows of stone tables and stone chairs in the room. There were very few decorations in the whole house. Except for the blue lights with ghoulish fires hanging on the roof, the most conspicuous thing was the four bright white lights placed in the corner of the room, which made the atmosphere of the whole room brighter and more pleasant than that of the outdoors.
"Welcome to the new adventurer, do you want to have a meal or stay in a hotel?" A man in black with a full body of baggage appeared in front of him, and his tone seemed to be a middle-aged man in his early 40s, and his identity should be the boss here.
"Oh, I'll have a meal when staying in a hotel, I'll register first." Before I could observe every corner carefully, Witt immediately came to his senses and walked towards the registration counter on his left hand.
Putting his hand on the stone back to the city to register, Witt raised his eyes and met the boss's direct look. Then he asked, "What a young child, are you here to watch the fighting skills conference?"
"The Fighting Conference? Oh, no, I came here to find someone, but I was just swaying... What is the Fighting Conference?" Witt scratched his head.
"So that's the case, I misunderstood. Usually adventurers who come to the Shadow City have only two requests. One is to try every means to visit the Lord of the Netherworld to ask for divination and pray for oracles, and the other is to come here to participate in the fighting crafts conference. The fighting crafts conferences in the city are large and small, every day, week, and every month. The most official brave crafts conference is once every three months. The promoted players can participate in the ultimate fighting arena competition at the end of the year and win the title of brave craftsman of the year, and the rewards are very rich. Recently, the summer fighting crafts conference is in full swing, and I thought you were here to watch the battle." The boss explained patiently, his tone was very kind. (To be continued.)
