Down. "
A mage with a big black beard who looked about 50 years old bowed slightly to me and said with a smile.
"Nice to meet you too, Master Talen. From now on, just call me Wu Fan or Wu. Speaking of which, we can be considered half brothers. In the Mage Guild, I also received personal guidance from Farah."
I also smiled back. It's strange to say that in a country as big as Lu Gaoyin, there is no elder in it. In other words, nominally speaking, among all the adventurers in Lu Gaoyin, I currently have the highest status.
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a little nervous. I tightened my cloak and pulled my hat down further. Then I thought it seemed impolite, so I took off the hat again.
"Really? That's such a coincidence. I didn't expect that you would also receive guidance from the teacher. I'm ashamed to say that although I also received guidance from the teacher, my talent is really limited, so I can only eat here and wait to die. .”
When he heard what I said, Talon showed a slight difference on his face. You must know that my profession is a druid. I didn't expect that I could get guidance from Farah. After thinking about it, he could only attribute this to the other person's talent. , the smile on his face couldn't help but become more enthusiastic.
"Wherever, power is not everything a mage has. Those mages who are knowledgeable and perform magic exploration and research in obscurity are equally respectable."
Of course, except for mages like Farah who specialize in tinkering with weird magic items, I added silently in my heart.
Under the leadership of Talundi, we walked out of the magic hall. Lu Gaoyin's Mage Guild looked almost the same as the one in Rogge's camp. After walking along the winding stairs for more than ten minutes, Tarun stopped because there was a wall in front of him, and he muttered a few magic spells in a low voice. The wall in front suddenly made a slight friction sound, and then slowly moved away. The scorching white light shone down from above, making my eyes narrow slightly.
With this level of senior brother relationship. Tarun's tone also became much more friendly. In a stone study room after walking out of the secret room, I handed him the letter of introduction that Akara had given me, and he read it carefully for a long time. Then he slowly raised his head.
"I already understand what Lord Akara means. As for the issue of your use of long-distance magic for teleportation, our Mages Guild naturally has no objections. But in addition, we must obtain the ruler of this place----His Majesty Jehaine. With your approval, Your Excellency may have to meet with him. I will go to the palace immediately to discuss a time for the meeting. It will probably be about two or three days. Your Excellency may wish to take this time to get familiar with Lu Gaoyin's environment. .”
It was pretty much what Akara said, so I nodded to him.
"Then please go and have a rest. I happen to be very interested in this legendary country known as the City of Jewels. Now I can't wait to go out and take a stroll."
"Haha, if that's the case, Lu Gaoyin will definitely not disappoint you, sir. No matter in terms of population or prosperity, this place cannot be compared to Rogge Camp. Especially the Twin Seas here, and Rogge Camp The Sea of Grasslands in the camp, the Sea of Forests in Kurast, the Demon Fortress, and the ice and snow plateau of Harrogath. They are recognized as one of the five most magnificent wonders in the entire Dark Continent."
"When you say that, I can't help it anymore."
"Then I don't know if your Excellency has anything else to give you. If not, I won't interrupt your visit. By the way, if you need a guide, I think there must be someone in our Mage Guild who can do the job."
Talen's suggestion surprised me. Could it be that my Lu Gaoyin attribute has been passed on to Lu Gaoyin? Thinking that it was unlikely, I rejected Talon's suggestion and made an appointment with him to return to the Mage Guild within two days. Under the leadership of a mage, I walked out of the main gate of the guild. lei
Just as I imagined, as a city on the edge of the desert, the air in Lugaoyin is dry and hot. As soon as I walked out of the Mage Guild, I realized this deeply. The sun hanging in the sky was full of It was half larger than what I saw in Camp Rogge. The oppressive feeling brought by the dazzling white light was like being in an oven. What was flowing in the air was not wind, but wave after wave of heat waves. Coming here from Camp Rogue is like being a long-time Alaskan resident coming to Hawaii.
Although as a job changer, I am not afraid of the fierce sunshine, I still can't help but take out a water bag, pour a few mouthfuls of icy cold water into my dry lips, and then exhale Slow down.
The accompanying mage saw my appearance and smiled indifferently.
"The climate here is indeed a bit uncomfortable for first-timers, but I believe adults will be able to adapt to it quickly. By then, you may be able to discover the cuteness of this place."
After he finished speaking, he paused and then asked carefully.
"Sir, do you really not need a guide? You know, Lu Gaoyin is no better than Rogge Camp. The area of the city is at least ten times that of the camp, and there are millions of residents..."
"No, I'm just walking around casually to get a feel for the atmosphere here. I don't plan to get to know the whole city right away."
"I see, sir, please go on your way. If you encounter any problems on the way, I believe the mages nearby will be happy to solve them for you."
The careful mage did not forget to give a kind reminder in the end.
I smiled back at this kind-hearted mage, put my cloak and hat back on tightly, and strode out of the door.
There was a small square in front of me. When I looked back, I was shocked by the generosity of the Mages Guild. This was like a Mages Guild, a palace-like stone castle, towering domes and towering round spires. Compared with it, the Mages Guild in Rogge Camp is no different from a doghouse.
I crossed the square with surprise and came to the outer gate of the guild. There were two mages and two soldiers guarding each gate, and they turned to look at me. He looked surprised, but quickly turned around.
Walking out of the Mages Guild, there is a brick-paved avenue about ten meters wide. The bustling crowd makes me feel like I have returned to the scene on the God's Birthday in Rogge Camp. I randomly chose a direction and walked along the crowd for more than ten minutes. After a cursory observation, I discovered. Most of the buildings in Lugoin are close to the Arabic or Indian style, because they all have a common feature, that is, most of them are in a desert environment.
Because it is located in the Gobi Desert, most of the buildings here are made of stone. If you want wood, you have to go to the edge of the misty forest dozens of kilometers away to cut it down, so the wood here is even more precious.
A large number of stones were obtained from the Gobi Desert not far from here. They are built with neat three-dimensional trapezoidal stones and mixed with a layer of gray mud on the outside. Structures such as doors and windows that require movement are made of hard wood. This kind of The huts with a strong ethnic style are the residences of most civilians.
certainly. This is not all. Lugao is known as the city of jewelry, and there are countless wealthy merchants in it. Those four- and five-story stone dome towers can also be seen everywhere. Although most of these majestic high-rise buildings are also They are made of stone, but their stones are of higher quality, and their surfaces are polished to be very smooth, making them look round and bright. There is no need to cover up the uneven and ugly appearance with dirty plaster like civilians do.
Many buildings are even painted with various colorful geometric patterns. The weird yet harmonious style and tone are like African totems, giving people a very distinctive feature.
And Lu Gaoyin is known as the commercial center of the entire Dark Continent, and the races living here are even more mixed. Fair-skinned Roger. Humans of different skin colors, tall and cold Amazons. Incomparably strong barbarians, and even many intelligent creatures of unspecified races can be seen everywhere. Perhaps the slender figure wearing a wide felt hat that occasionally passes by you is the elf in the teleportation, or standing at the door of the bar. Here, a dwarf whose whole body is covered by a cloak is the dwarf who has been living in seclusion for a long time. Their blacksmith skills are the best in the entire Dark Continent...
Of course, the indigenous residents here are indispensable, the Lugoin people. The dress of the Lugoin people is very interesting. They look very similar to the Arabs seen in the world in the past. Most of the men in Lugoin like to have a messy chin. He has a beard, a turban and a headband on his head, and wears a loose white collarless robe. The sleeves are very large and cylindrical. This kind of clothing is more breathable and makes people feel cooler. Therefore, whether you are rich or not, Most people are dressed like this, whether they are poor or poor. The difference is that the clothes of the rich are better. Some wear cloaks and look energetic when walking. Those who pay attention to style hang a rope on their chests. There are some spices inside, and some even hang an exquisite sword on their waist in order to show off their martial prowess. Of course, these are just toys for adventurers...
The women in Lu Gaoyin are very distinctive. Most of the women here are very slim. It is rare to see fat women. Most of the women in Lu Gaoyin have their faces covered with veils, giving people a mysterious and seductive attraction. Some of them are only covered with a thin gauze, their skin is looming, and their dark complexions reveal a healthy luster, which has a unique flavor, especially their small waists, which are even more slender. It is said that Lu Gaoyin women The beauty of a woman does not lie in appearance, but in the outline of the waist, which is slender and flexible. The bolder Lu Gaoyin women will dress themselves up in various styles and be proud of their water snake waist, while the reserved ladies will dress themselves in various styles. Wearing white robes similar to those of men, with high collars raised around their necks, their skin is delicate and smooth. Even in this desert climate where the sun is shining brightly, they are as fair as babies and look even more delicate. moving.
From the appearance of a city, you can tell the degree of development here. This sentence is true. In Rogge Camp, most civilians are immersed in work, and they only have a rare moment of relaxation during festivals and the like. In Lu Gaoyin, almost every day is like a celebration. Everyone here, whether men, women, old or young, common people or wealthy businessmen, are good at singing and dancing. On the street, you can see some bold Lu Gaoyin women singing and dancing at any time. They dance , it also looks very much like the Arabic-style belly dance. The intricate and sexy body movements, either charming and sexy, or arrogant and mysterious, vividly highlight their beautiful water snake waists. Men are also good at musical instruments. Most of them are good at tambourines. If they don't have a drum, they can even take out a rough plate and beat it with a very rhythmic melody.
certainly. Everything is not so beautiful. Lu Gaoyin, known as the city of jewelry, although it is indeed full of gold, the richer it gets. There is something that cannot be eliminated - slums. But the street where I am is the main road. Generally speaking, the poor people in poor clothes cannot walk on these main roads. You can see them every few minutes from there. You can tell this when groups of soldiers pass by in neat rows.
"Hey. Wait."
A group of soldiers passed by me, and the leader suddenly turned around and said to me coldly.
I was stunned for a moment and turned around.
"Is there a problem?"
"You seem to be unfamiliar with your outfit. Take off your hat."
I was stunned. Although the whole body wrapped in a cloak was indeed a bit mysterious, it seemed that I was not the only one around. How did he judge that I was "very unfamiliar" and looked at them with cold faces. Clearly looking for trouble.
"What if I say no?"
I narrowed my eyes slightly. I had never been treated like this in Camp Rogge, and an unknown anger suddenly rose in my heart.
"Bold, do you know where this place is? Don't think that a small mercenary can be so rampant."
The leading captain suffocated slightly. Their aura, which usually only bullied civilians, could not compare to the adventurers' murderous intention honed by long-term killings.
"Really, what if I still insist on refusing? What can you do to me?"
A smile appeared at the corner of my mouth and I touched my palm lightly. A dark crow appeared in my palm and answered softly.
Maybe people who don't know it think it's just a poor performance, but the captain is quite knowledgeable, so this crow doesn't seem to be anything surprising. But the powerful momentum revealed. But it is one of Druid's signature skills.
Even though Lazy Crow doesn't usually face many enemies, you might think that it is very weak. After all, it has a skill level of 8, and it is a mutated crow. If you want to kill the small group in front of you, which has not even reached the soldier level, and can only fight with the students in the Rogge camp, at most it will not exceed the level of soldiers. 5 seconds of time.
The captain's face suddenly became ugly. From the sound of the other party's voice, he sounded very young, so he estimated that the other party was just a mercenary or even a soldier-level adventurer. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a job changer, and he changed jobs at such a young age. By.
His face turned bright and dark for a few times, and finally he bowed his head angrily towards me, and left quickly with the soldiers behind him. A job-changer was not something a little soldier like him could afford to offend. If you make them angry, it's not surprising that they can kill you without you noticing. They have that strength.
I watched them leave thoughtfully. I was really too lazy to take action against such little pawns. However, compared with the atmosphere of a militia family in Camp Rogge, the quality of Lu Gaoyin's soldiers was really that good. What a difference, is this the so-called metropolitan style? Or……
I pondered silently for a while, but the lazy crow didn't take away the palm of my hand. It jumped on my shoulder excitedly, rubbed its round head flatteringly on my face a few times, and its eyes turned purring, as if it was interested in me. I am also very interested in the bustling scene in front of me.
What a pity. If I didn't want to expose my identity so quickly, I wonder if I could have scared the shit out of that group of soldiers by directly summoning Xiaoxue? I laughed secretly.
With a "swish" sound, the lazy crow suddenly disappeared from my shoulder, and then reappeared on my shoulder in less than a second, giving full play to its second-level mutation speed, unless it was a job changer or a Rogge's archer has a keen eye, otherwise few people would be able to catch it, let alone those soldiers and civilians?
So even if it was holding a glowing stone in its mouth, no one would know, except me.
"Dead crow..."
I slapped its round head hard with my index finger. This guy didn't change his stubbornness. In just one second, he picked up a stone from a stall opposite. Fortunately, no one seemed to notice. , otherwise my wise and powerful spirit will be destroyed by it.
I glared at it, dug out the beautiful stone from its mouth, approached the stall, clasped my index finger slightly, and put the stone back silently. The whole process was unnoticed. He really looks a bit like a martial arts master, I thought as I blinked my mouth. Be happy and all the best. ^^
