After leaving the camp and bypassing two hills, we have passed the mountainous area and entered a flat area that is suspected to be a basin.
The terrain is not the point. One kilometer in front of Bai Xiaojiao, the outline of the city blocks the forward path.
There is no need for them to continue moving forward to confirm, the several creatures appearing in front have already explained where the city belongs.
A demon hunter with some unusual physical features.
The skin color of the outer witch is earthy gray, while the witch here is blue-red, with the head and chest showing earthy red, the transition area is warm purple, and the limbs are basically cyan.
There are no flowers on the head, and no spots leaking ultraviolet light or jellyfish-shaped limbs were found. It seems that some kind of evolution has occurred.
They wore rags to protect their privacy. The rags were very rough and seemed to be woven from some kind of plant fiber, and their claws were trimmed and could be called nails.
They also behaved extremely strangely. Their eyes shifted between humans and bears several times, they remained alert, and they made strange tones.
Although he couldn't understand it, Wang Qi, who had already learned five languages, was sure that it was an unknown language and that it was very primitive.
Wang Qi stretched out his hand in front of Li Xiang to make a gesture, and she controlled Bai Xiaojiao to lead the two of them north.
As a result, the demon hunter became even more excited and moved defensively.
Wang Qi made another gesture, and Li Xiang turned to the south.
This time the demon hunter was still, keeping vigilance and watching them move away.
This situation made Wang Qi even more embarrassed. It could only explain one situation - there is a settlement of nocturnal ghosts on the south side!
So the Night Walker is really working with the Demon Hunter?
The intelligence of the night ghosts is high enough, and there is a high probability that some of them can speak the local language. You can try to get in touch with them.
The two rode the bear south, keeping a certain distance from the edge of the city.
From time to time, you will encounter demon hunters on the road. They have a slightly unclear fear of the two of them. It is unclear whether it is due to their high intuition or other reasons.
After walking for about two kilometers, the shadow of the city disconnected, as if it had reached the dividing line?
There is a distance of 200 meters between the two sections of the city. There are guards and simple walls in the southern section, but no obvious defensive facilities are seen in the northern section.
Approaching the city wall, the guards on the wall cast their gaze.
They have the same white eyes as Wang Qi, but they are a little different. They are the same as Bai Xiaojiao, with a straight little horn growing on his forehead.
The white-eyed humanoids that can be seen on the city wall all have one-horned mutations, which shows that the white-eyed mutations have a clear direction and are not random lesions caused by albino.
The people on the city wall looked at each other, and the people on the city wall were actually a little panicked.
Wang Qi had good hearing, but it was useless. The white-eyed humanoid creature spoke another language, not even the same language as the demon hunt just now.
"Is there anyone who can understand what I'm saying? I want to ask you for directions." Wang Qi raised his voice and asked on the city wall.
One of the guards immediately responded in local language: "Please wait a moment, the captain will go to pick you up immediately."
"???"
please? catch?
what's the situation? Is the grammar correct?
Not noticing the hostility, he got off the bear and whispered to Li Xiang to stay on the bear's back.
Before long, the inferior wooden city gate was opened, and eleven white-eyed and horned men came out and approached the two of them.
The leader of the group was dressed unusually. He had a metal half-armor with a cape and decorative patterns on the armor. It was really too retro and gorgeous. Besides him, the others also had armor, but Wang Qi recognized the black and glowing texture as the insect shells from the Luminous Mountains.
All members have complete costumes under their half-body armor. Although they are rough and similar to linen, they are obviously much better than those made by the demon hunters.
The captain also observed the outsiders, and his heart was not at peace:
The man among these two is the king appointed by the Great Mother, and the one beside him is probably the queen. Apart from being handsome and unremarkable, he has not even completed his transformation. He seems to not even know the holy language, and he does not know why he is doted on by the great mother.
With only seven steps left, the captain, who was wearing a gorgeous metal breastplate, knelt down on one knee and said, "Ainz, my subordinate, respectfully welcomes my king. Please follow me back to the Mother Temple to be crowned."
"...???"
If he hadn't stood firm, he would have almost staggered. Wang Qi looked around and didn't find anything like a camera, which made him feel even weirder.
"Stand up and speak."
"Thank you, my king." A group of people stood up one after another.
This kind of etiquette really makes people feel goosebumps. Wang Qi tugged at the corner of his mouth to try to clear up the misunderstanding: "I am just a traveler, not your king. Did I admit the wrong person?"
He spoke calmly, but Ainz did not dare to neglect: "According to the oracle of the Great Mother, those of our clan who have not transformed when they arrive here, if they are male, will be the new king of our clan. With the decree comes your holy statue, never Dare to admit your mistakes.”
Ainz spoke the local language, and although his words and sentences were a bit unfamiliar, he still understood him after having Li Xiang stumble at his side to translate.
The "Great Mother" should be the will behind the ghost.
I had only seen him a few times through the eyes of Ghost and Begonia Deer, but I didn’t expect that he would take notice of them and cause such a thing as before.
There is a lot of valid information. Our clan, transformation, probably means that these horned ones are actually night ghosts and have experienced some kind of change. In connection with the winter, I saw a group of witchers coming to the west. Did they transform into colorful witchers in the city?
So the transformation happened because his resistance and stability were too high and he missed it. Forget it, it's not a good thing anyway.
Wang Qi opened his mouth and closed it again. After repeating it several times, he decided to go in and find out: "Take me to see the holy statue first."
"This...obeys the order!"
Ainz and two guards led the way, followed by Wang Qi and Li Xiang, who was riding a bear. Finally, there were two guards protecting him. It was unclear whether this was to prevent escape.
I always feel like the "Great Mother" is joking.
The urban environment is very ordinary. There are stone houses and wooden houses in the city. There are no pre-disaster buildings. Except for a main road, you can see some traces of asphalt. Most of the places you pass are paved with gravel.
It's like suddenly returning to the Middle Ages.
In the entertainment industry of my previous life, the Middle Ages was a very popular category, but the Middle Ages in real history was an era of absurdity and darkness. All kinds of absurd and pathological "popular" symbols took turns, including burning people alive, painting their faces with lead powder, Not taking a shower for a lifetime, pouring gold juice on the street, getting bigger and more expensive wigs, bloodletting, etc., etc., are simply beyond imagination.
The medieval city of nocturnal ghosts...at least it doesn't stink for the time being, and we'll see about the rest.
After being led by Ainz for a kilometer, they turned onto a wide road.
This road is paved with stone slabs and is about fourteen meters wide. You can tell at a glance that it is the center line, and it may also have some kind of ritual or celebration function.
Along the street to the west, Wang Qi had already seen the "holy statue".
It has the same texture as the stone girl in Yabur Lake, why is it not surprising at all?
"Wow! He really looks like you." Li Xiang felt a little amazing.
Wang Qi didn't think so at all. After all, He could even create Wang Qi No. 2 in the North. What's weird about making a moving statue in his likeness here?
Li Xiang's fuss did not arouse Ainz's dissatisfaction, and he did not dare to offend his future queen.
Arriving at the lake, Ainz did not dare to go any further and stepped aside: "We are not allowed to approach the holy statue. It is best for my king to stop here."
Wang Qi ignored him and waved his hand: "It doesn't matter."
The slate paved floor extends all the way to 40 meters into the lake. At the end, it is only 20 meters away from the "Icon".
He deliberately looked back at Ainz and the others, but showed no anger, so the rule of not getting close was just casually set?
There is a difference between the icon and the Stone Girl. It is not lifted up by the jellyfish roots and looks like it is standing barefoot on the water. The height is only sixty meters. According to Stone Girl's experience, maybe it only started growing at the beginning of the year?
In addition, the movement of the holy statue was "very fast". It only took half a minute for Wang Qi to walk to the stone platform, but the holy statue was able to keep up with the movement of lowering his head and continued to look at each other.
"Want to talk? Maybe I should call you...Solaris?"
