Darkness covers this chaotic underground city with an absolute advantage, and the light is only limited to the dilapidated magic crystal lamps on the tangled roads and streets.
I don’t know who would spend money to replenish energy for these old objects. Maybe someone will have to pay for them only when they are no longer usable.
Among the cluttered crowd, a pair of nervous and cunning eyes had noticed the unfamiliar faces walking through the No. 3 Black Street.
Although this guy has covered his face with an unknown mask, this expression and walking posture are absolutely incompatible with this underground city. It is leisurely and undisciplined, and there is no rush to do anything...
New residents? Or are they the young men on the ground who are curious about the underground world? No matter, it is a rare fat sheep, and you must not miss it.
There is no magic power fluctuation, and the level of fighting spirit is extremely poor. How dare such a person come here? It is not cheap and he will have to be picked up by others.
The short figure licked the corner of his mouth and showed a slightly twisted smile. Yorick felt that today must be his lucky day, and he actually picked up a "fat sheep" in this messy place.
There is no need to take life. Human life is not worth much in this place, and it is not a pretty woman. No boss in the street would want such a stupid and weak good-for-nothing man.
He breathed out lightly, and his breathing was controlled by Yorick. There was some fighting spirit surrounding his steps. These fighting spirits were very weak, providing a small but enough force to suppress the sound of each step to an extremely small level. .
Relying on his short stature and thin body, Yorick quickly and skillfully shuttled between the crowds, ignoring the unkind looks from under the masks of some people whose faces were also covered, Yorick quickly approached the "Fat Sheep".
"Shua..." The small blade popped out from the fingertips, and his eyes had already locked on the back pocket of "Fat Sheep", which contained the special magic wave that he was very familiar with, the "Magic Crystal Card".
That's what he wants. As for this "fat sheep", he will probably die in a corner of a street in this chaotic world soon.
Squeezing through several people, his pace quickened, and Yorick's silent steps quickly approached the figure who was moving forward calmly.
The blade quickly drew out and flew toward the person's pocket in front of him. In Yorick's imagination, the pocket would be cut open in the next moment, and his left hand that stretched out with the blade would get the magic crystal card. .
"Pa!" A strong hand wrapped in a leather glove pinched Yorick's arm, and the blade at the fingertips stopped in the air in front of the waist bag, making it difficult to move forward.
His pupils shrank suddenly, and Yorick was shocked by the reaction of the person in front of him. He didn't turn his head, but as if there were eyes behind him, he reached back and grabbed his arm without even looking.
And with this strength, damn it, doesn’t this guy even have the fighting spirit of a trainee knight?
Wang Yu turned his head and looked at Yorick, a gray-haired boy who was looking at him with a shocked look on his face as his hand was grabbed. He was short in stature and thin in build. His fighting spirit level was actually at the beginning level of a trainee knight?
Yorick's eyes stared at Wang Yu who turned around with a hint of panic. What should he do?
Cruel thoughts flashed through his heart, and the fear in his eyes was replaced by ferocity. The ruthlessness brought about by crawling around in the dungeon took over the boy's choice at this moment.
"Whoosh!" The blade of the nail was ejected at high speed by the flick of the knuckles, turning into an afterimage and flying towards the eyes of Wang Yu's face. The cold light flashed, and the dangerous edge made people get goosebumps.
At the same time, he directly twisted and dislocated the pinched arm, freed himself from the clamped wrist, rotated his body, and kicked Wang Yu's neck. The blade that popped out of the thick-soled shoe was equally dangerous and deadly.
"Ding!" "Bang! Click!" Two sounds occurred at almost the same moment, and the invisible barrier easily blocked the blade that shot into Wang Yu's eyes without even a trace of damage.
What was faster than the kick kicked by Yorick was the punch that Wang Yu turned around and punched out at extremely high speed, hitting Yorick's chest without any spare force.
In an instant, bones were broken and tendons were broken, the sternum was crushed, and the chest was sunken. Yorick's thin and frail figure was directly thrown out and hit the wall on the side of the street. He didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
"It's quite chaotic...but this place is really blessed with witchcraft. The strength and activation speed of the barrier have been greatly enhanced." Wang Yu glanced at Yorick who flew out. There were still people coming and going on the street. People care about what happens here.
The special thing here is that the void is integrated into the real space, making it much easier for Wang Yu to activate witchcraft, and the speed is also much faster. The strength of the barrier just now is at least 1.5 times that of the outside.
Walking to Yorick's side, Wang Yu didn't care about the life or death of this guy who tried to steal his things and wanted his life after being discovered. He probably wouldn't survive anyway.
The shocking dent in the chest is no joke. Even if it looks complete, the internal organs and other things are probably in a mess.
"Quite rich?" Wang Yu took out several small money bags from Yorick's body. This guy hid the money bags scattered in various corners of his body, covering them up with clothes and organs themselves. However, these were hidden in Wang Yu's eyes. The ripples are meaningless in front of them.
"Twenty gold coins, not bad." Wang Yu nodded with satisfaction and put the small bags he found into his pocket. After a rough sweep, he found twenty gold coins, which was a good amount of extra money.
Ignoring Yorick, who was gradually losing his life in the corner, Wang Yu continued on the complicated and narrow road of No. 3 Black Street to his destination.
"You just killed him like that?" Qi Ge's voice sounded in Wang Yu's ears.
"Otherwise?" Wang Yu used the ripples to convey what he wanted to say to Siege, who was maintaining the invisible skin magic, without making a sound.
"Actually, he is quite pitiful. Look at the black snake on his arm. This is the owner of this street. It also means that he works for the boss here. Generally speaking, these young children are the boss's followers. He was kidnapped when he was young and trained rigorously to be his thug in the future."
"They have their own targets every month. If they fail to meet their targets...one hand will be broken off and two lives will be lost. Their actions may be just to survive. After all, they have been enslaved by the boss of this place since they were young."
"So what, no reason can be the reason to attack me. If it was just to steal money, I might beat him, but I wouldn't kill him directly. But obviously, he did it, so I would just Kill him without leaving any chance!"
"I'm not a god. I can't know or understand everyone's difficulties. I can only do it if they don't offend me. If you want to do something to me, don't blame me and want him to die. Whenever I'm slow to do something, it may be... I am dead."
Wang Yu was a little surprised as to why Yu Qige would ask such a question. In his opinion, Night Blade was not pedantic or stubborn. Since he had roots in this chaotic place, how could he be entangled in these issues?
"Okay, I know you won't have any problems, but there may be some problems with Edward and Charles. It's not that they are not decisive enough, it's just that some of their so-called kindness is a bit too broad."
"Well...you really can't be too rigid in this business." Wang Yu nodded.
Ciel and Edward are indeed different from him, one is his life experience and the other is his personality. The professor probably tests his reactions to these aspects on a routine basis.
"You are indeed very suitable for this profession, and your physical strength seems to exceed your own knight rank."
"I have always insisted on physical training. For me, it may be more important than fighting spirit or physical body..."
"You remind me of the granddaughter of an old friend. Her name is Wendy. Her physical strength is much stronger than her own fighting spirit, and she may be even more exaggerated than you. Maybe you can have something in common?"
"Wendy Lanqi?"
"Yes, do you know each other?"
"Yes, Aviya is studying under her grandfather Weber Lanqi."
"Old Weber? What a coincidence. I can take more care of Aviya. After all, I am also an honorary professor." There was a bit more smile in Zieg's tone. He didn't expect Aviya to be at his old friend's place. Be a student.
"With Old Weber's strictness, I'm afraid Aviya's talent is not that simple. I didn't pay special attention to that girl when I was the No. 1 pick and dealt with those nobles and voids. After that, whether it was considering talent and potential or helping friends, Please help me pay attention..."
The professor silently went through the next arrangements in his mind and continued to shuttle through the streets with Wang Yu.
There are a large number of metal pipes distributed on the narrow alleyways that circle and twist, with various substances flowing through them. The special environment of this region allows alchemy to develop in a different way.
The integration of the void into reality has made the randomness and success rate of alchemy here become a bit weird, and the appearance rate of powerful alchemical creations has also become greater here. One of the largest industries of King City Shadow is the alchemy industry.
The entry barrier to the alchemy industry here is low, and the probability of producing alchemical creations with particularly powerful mutations is high, which also gives this place a different ecology.
A large number of alchemical items pass through special channels and are secretly controlled by nobles or royal families. They are taxed and taken at will, and then transported to the royal city on the ground. In exchange for a large amount of gold coins, they are imported into the underground city.
The two seem to be unrelated to each other on the surface, and ordinary people are not aware of this huge area under the royal city. However, the interaction between the two has never stopped. Interests and needs tightly bind the two. tied together.
The special ecology here has even formed a standard alchemy workshop. Compared with the traditional small alchemy workshops in the above-ground royal city, which are precise, professional, complete, and require high precision and high technical strength, the alchemy industry of the shadow of the royal city is even more crazy. Wild, into a system.
A large number of raw materials are shuttled through the pipes throughout this underground city, sent to where they should go. Steam surges may burst out from the street walls at any time, and the blazing furnaces are responsible for smelting minerals and calcining fusion at the same time. Material Responsibility.
What is transmitted in the coiled cables is not electricity but magic and other special existences. It is crowded and messy, and all kinds of things that are different from the ground style are crowded together to form this underground city.
"Steampunk style..." Wang Yu sighed as he looked at this special underground city. Can he see this familiar style in a fantasy world?
"It's very strange. The development of this place is actually very valuable in the eyes of us scholars. It seems chaotic, but in fact many alchemy and research efficiency are much higher than those of the alchemy workshops in the royal city that have been passed down for a long time."
Qi Ge watched Wang Yu looking around a lot and said with a smile.
"Yes, technology is the primary productive force. Perhaps the most special thing here is that ordinary people can also participate in these alchemies. Those alchemist masters above may not be able to complete the work without the precise reactions of knights or the mental strength of wizards. These are it.”
"Is technology the primary productive force? Well, it makes sense. Where you come from, there are so many special mottos. Can ordinary people also participate... It is indeed a big breakthrough."
Sieg nodded, with some unknown meaning in his words.
"Anyway, here we are, this is where you will stay from now on." Siege didn't say anything more, but led Wang Yu to stop in front of a building.
As the two of them moved forward, they had reached the end of the city.
The end of this special city is a huge cliff. The edge of the city is simply protected by a fence mixed with steel and wood. The height is no more than one meter, which can only be said to be better than nothing.
Standing on the edge of the cliff and looking down, there is only endless deep black chaos, no light, no sound, nothing, and an abyss. This word can well summarize the feeling of the area under the cliff.
"The name of this underground space is King City Shadow, and the real name of this city is Abyss Edge Outpost. The space under the cliff is the place guarded by this outpost."
Zig led Wang Yu to the only building that existed on the edge of this cliff, a towering lighthouse.
The lighthouse stood on the edge of the cliff, its height was exaggerated. The light emitted from the top of the lighthouse was not very bright and could not illuminate the so-called abyss.
The metal tower body shines with a dark light under the weak light, giving this lighthouse a mysterious and unique beauty.
The heavy iron door opened with the verification of the voucher in Sieg's hand, revealing the narrow elevator space inside.
Walking into it, Wang Yu and Qie Ge began to ascend amidst the roar of the elevator's mechanical structure. The complex machinery made the ascent without any vibration and extremely fast.
"Is it built using goblin technology? There seems to be no trace of wizards or magic here..."
Wang Yu spread out the ripples and found that the structure of this lighthouse was basically an extremely complex mechanical structure, with almost no magic circles or wizard runes mixed in.
The mainstream tone of the giant buildings in this world is still magic arrays combined with wizard runes. It seems that the only system that is a combination of pure chemistry and physics is the goblins.
As they ascended to the end, Wang Yu and Qie Ge reached the top of the lighthouse. It was still not a spacious cabin, except for a groove in the middle, which was used to place something. Upon closer inspection, it seemed that Wang Yu owned it. The shape of the lantern base.
"Wang Yu, are you confident in your mental resistance? Next, I hope to determine the level of your mental resistance. If you are not sure, you don't have to proceed."
Siege's serious words came from the side while Wang Yu was observing the space at the top of the lighthouse.
Wang Yu nodded without hesitation. There was only one area where his self-confidence had no upper limit, and that was his mental resistance.
"Don't worry. If you have a problem, I will help you get out of observation immediately. Then please look into the depths of this abyss."
"No matter what you see, please remember that it is false. It is the tentacles and traps projected by the chaotic and disordered thoughts in this ocean of spiritual power to capture you and devour your spirit."
"no problem."
Wang Yu did not hesitate and cast his gaze into this seemingly endless abyss.
Darkness, really only darkness, even Wang Yu's trainee knight's eyesight could not see through that endless ocean of darkness.
At the same time, there were no illusions, no sounds, and no weird things. All Wang Yu could see was darkness, and nothing else existed.
"Professor, I didn't see anything, but I want to try to use my mental power to explore it, is that okay?"
"Didn't see anything? Are you sure?"
"Sure."
"You are really special than I expected. There is essentially no difference between observation and mental exploration. If you want, give it a try. I also want to know where your limits are."
"Um."
Sieg agreed to Wang Yu's request, so come on. Since he is going to work here for a while, why can't he get to know his chaotic neighbor.
The ripples carry Wang Yu's spiritual power and conduct it into the abyss. Wang Yu stares into the abyss.
