After the three of them entered the city, Sun Haoran stared blankly at the people in the city.
He finally understood what "immortality" meant. The pedestrians on the road were all skinny, and some were so hungry that only bare skeletons were left, but they were all still alive, like walking zombies...
"Is this immortality?" Lu Mingfei felt a chill in his heart when he saw this scene.
He always felt that he had seen such "symptoms" somewhere.
"That's right." Chu Zihang nodded calmly, "This city is shrouded in powerful power and is a huge alchemical matrix. No one here will die because they don't eat or drink, but they will all become you in the end. This is what I saw..."
Nibelungen? Lu Mingfei was shocked and realized that this seemed to be exactly the same as the train in the subway?
"So... the ban on killing is for..."
"In order to prevent them from dying!" Chu Zihang looked a little gloomy, "This is the Dragon Clan... They think they have given humans eternal life. Maybe it is a gift in their eyes? But in the eyes of humans, it is just eternal slavery."
"No...not slavery..." Lu Mingfei shook his head slightly and retorted.
Maybe... they just simply want to keep these people?
Think about it, if there were only two city lords in this deserted and empty city, how desolate and lonely would it be?
Perhaps the owner here just wants someone to stay.
And for those who take refuge here...
Is it better to stay here half-dead than to go out and be trampled to death by the iron hoofs of the rebels?
look carefully……
There is nothing guarding the door, and people here can obviously leave directly...
The more he thought about it, the colder Lu Mingfei felt in his heart.
Are the dragons really the ones enslaving humans?
The people here...are clearly enslaved by their inner fears and greedy desires.
"What did you say?" Chu Zihang looked at Lu Mingfei with some confusion.
"Um...it's nothing..." Lu Mingfei shook his head helplessly and continued to ask, "What about the third one?"
"Literally." Chu Zihang explained, "If you have enough chips, you can exchange for anything here. It is precisely because of this that these humans are unwilling to leave here..."
"As expected..."
Lu Mingfei became more certain of his thoughts.
"Ignorance." Sun Haoran also shook his head slightly after hearing this, "That's what human beings are like. Greedy and ignorant, otherwise how could we end up in such a situation?"
Lu Mingfei could hear the helplessness in his tone: "What are the chips?"
"Anything other than life." Chu Zihang continued, raising his head and looking at the huge building in the center of the city.
It seems to be a city within a city, and it looks magnificent.
"That is……"
"casino."
"If you don't have enough chips, you can go there and win. Of course, no one has ever gotten what they want in exchange so far."
"Why?" Lu Mingfei was puzzled, "Do you mean you can't win?"
"No, the casino here is extremely fair. No one can cheat here, but what these people want... is too expensive."
"How expensive is it?"
"You will know after seeing it." Chu Zihang shook his head, "However, it is best not to become like these people. We will leave here soon."
"That's right, you won't know until you see it. You've already come here, wouldn't it be a shame not to go and see it?" Sun Haoran laughed and strode towards the splendid building, "Let's go, I will take you. Win this city."
············
"As expected, no matter where in the world there are class distinctions...it's all evil capitalism."
After entering the building, Lu Mingfei looked at the people around him, and then thought of the skinny people on the roadside when he just entered the city, and complained speechlessly.
He saw several well-dressed people sitting at a long ornate table with their arms around the woman next to them. In the middle of the table was a female dealer dressed in voluptuous clothes. She smiled charmingly, shook the dice in her hand and then covered it on the table.
The men all took out their bets and placed them on the gambling table to prepare for the opening.
There are priceless luminous pearls, gold that looks tacky, and even some swords or books.
Sure enough, just as Chu Zihang said, the bet here does not necessarily require money. It seems that anything of value can be used as a bet.
"We don't have anything valuable on us, so why bet?" Chu Zihang frowned and asked Sun Haoran.
"Senior Brother Chu, aren't you rich?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"Money is the least valuable thing here, and that's all." Chu Zihang shook his head slightly.
"Then... where is the carriage you escorted? The people inside are being hunted by so many people, so they must be very valuable." Sun Haoran said jokingly, "Didn't you say that anything other than life can be used for it?" As a bet."
"Having said that... I don't seem to have heard of anyone taking others as bets here," Chu Zihang still shook his head, "And I promised my employer that I would deliver it safely."
"Just kidding." Sun Haoran shrugged.
"Are you three new here?" A charming voice sounded.
The three of them turned around and saw a woman looking at them with a smile.
"Are you a staff member here?" Lu Mingfei looked at the woman dressed in voluptuous clothes, no different from the women in the arms of men.
"Yes." The woman responded with a smile, "Please three of you come with me to register the chips."
After the woman finished speaking, she walked towards the hall. Caesar and Chu Zihang both followed.
Lu Mingfei froze on the spot, registering the chips? He is so poor that he is the only one left, so what can he do to register?
"Hey, don't be stunned. Let's talk after we get there." Sun Haoran followed him swaggeringly and called out to Lu Mingfei, who was in a daze.
Seeing Sun Haoran's confident look, Lu Mingfei felt a little more relieved and followed him.
But halfway through, Sun Haoran suddenly frowned and stopped.
"Didn't you say we were going to register the chips? Where are you going to take us?"
He looked at the woman in front of him with her back to them, her hand already on the handle of the knife.
The direction this woman wanted to take them was to the depths of the casino. If they were just registering chips, there was no need to go that deep.
"The Lord of the City wants to see you." The woman did not look back, her voice was calm, "I advise you not to think about taking action here. Although customers are not prohibited from fighting and killing each other here, I am the Lord of the City."
"Okay, keep leading the way."
Sun Haoran released the hand holding the knife and nodded at Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei.
They have no right to refuse the city lord's invitation. It is not a wise choice to go against the city lord in this city.
"What kind of guy is the city lord?" Lu Mingfei asked in a low voice.
He just heard Chu Zihang say on the way here that the city lord seemed to be a very beautiful woman, with extraordinary beauty. As for the specific situation, Caesar was always vague.
"One of the four great monarchs..." Chu Zihang said helplessly.
"Ah, this...can't be..." Lu Mingfei's scalp went numb.
"It's your "can't be" thing. "Chu Zihang nodded and said, "But that's not entirely true. I said that I have met many familiar faces in this world, but they are not the people we are familiar with. She in this world does not know us. "
"Don't be so nervous." Sun Haoran seemed to have already guessed who the owner of this place was, and caught Lu Mingfei who was trying to escape. "As long as you act like a good subject and don't annoy her by talking nonsense, everything will be fine."
"you sure?"
"Sure." Sun Haoran nodded, "Would you go out of your way to find an ant and then step on it to death?"
Right. Lu Mingfei calmed down
After thinking about it, it sounds like the Dragon King of this world is not an existence that will destroy the world when he wakes up as he imagined... Or is it that the Dragon King of this world is actually awake? They rule the world and will naturally not destroy it. Humans are just ants in their captivity.
Follow the woman deep into the casino. This casino itself is a city within a city. Unexpectedly, there is a cave in the depths.
A splendid door was placed in front of the three people. This door was huge and made of rock, like an indestructible wall.
The woman reached out and touched the portrait on the door.
Lu Mingfei saw the red blood on the woman's fingertips dotted on the portrait embedded in the giant door.
The figure came to life, it was a living being!
He had seen such a living creature in the Bronze City, and it needed blood to open the door.
The giant door shook slowly, and the ground began to tremble.
The whole door opened slowly.
Lu Mingfei looked at the figure inside with wide eyes, and he almost screamed with excitement.
It was a very absurd scene. A giant dragon like a hill was crawling on the ground, its huge head lying obediently on the ground. A girl in colorful clothes was sitting on top of it, gently leaning on the raised bones on the dragon's head. , like leaning on a throne.
The girl's angelic face can indeed be described as heavenly beauty, and the giant dragon beneath her has the power to overthrow the heavens and the earth.
Yes, Fenrir in this world has a complete dragon body.
In other words, if a fight broke out, the current state of the three of them would not even be enough to put a gap in Fenrir's teeth.
Lu Mingfei suddenly recalled the greedy and lustful eyes of those humans along the way. Couldn't it be her that these stupid people wanted to get? Grass! This is outrageous, they are all crazy! This is a female dragon! Who can control this guy except Sun Haoran?
Oh, well, Sun Haoran doesn't seem to have the ability to control it now.
Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei secretly glanced at Sun Haoran next to him.
But Sun Haoran doesn't seem to care about this. Maybe he has other plans?
The girl on the dragon's head closed her eyes slightly and leaned lazily on the dragon's head. As if sensing someone coming in, she opened her eyes and sat up straight. Those golden eyes made Lu Mingfei's desire to say hello disappear.
He affirmed once again that this girl in this world is the real Jormungandr, the king of earth and mountains! It has nothing to do with Xia Mi in their impressions.
The girl stared at the three people standing in front of her. She didn't seem to blame them for not kneeling when they saw the throne. There was even some playfulness in her eyes, like looking at a fun toy.
"Do you know that coming to this city has caused me trouble?" The girl's pleasant voice echoed in the ears of the three of them.
"Um?" Lu Mingfei was a little confused, "What's the trouble?"
"Shut up..." Sun Haoran reluctantly asked Lu Mingfei to stop talking, "When the monarch speaks, just listen as a mortal..."
"But she's asking us questions..."
Sun Haoran glared at him speechlessly again, and the guy finally shut up.
Now not only him, but also Lu Mingfei's power is far less powerful than it was in the original world with the help of Lu Mingze. It is not a wise choice to conflict with a dragon monarch.
Fortunately, he never relies on brute force alone to do anything. His strength is not as strong as it used to be, so he needs to outsmart him.
Didn’t you say that?
As long as you have enough chips in exchange, you can exchange for anything.
Sun Haoran stared at Jörmungandr in front of him with a smile on his face.
"Haha, what interesting humans," the girl chuckled and looked at the three people in front of her. These three people seemed to be different from the stupid humans she usually met.
One talks nonsense and has no sense of tension, one has an expressionless face as if he doesn't care about anything, and the other... although the eyes looking at him are hot, they don't seem to be "greedy" like those stupid humans.
"you
As you know, since you came to my city, several waves of people have followed you into the city. Are they here for you? "The girl looked at the three of them with a chuckle.
Lu Mingfei was shocked. He didn't expect that without their knowledge, several waves of people had already followed them into the city! So aren't they in danger now?
He couldn't help but look at Chu Zihang.
Chu Zihang nodded slightly, indicating that those people should have followed the employer he was escorting here.
But now the carriage followed them to the "City Lord's Mansion". Under normal circumstances, no one would dare to use force here, so as long as Jormungandr in front of them doesn't drive them out of the city, there should be nothing wrong.
"You are lucky. In my city, killing is prohibited."
Sure enough, the girl sat on the dragon's head and said condescendingly.
"But you also need to bring enough chips."
"..."
Lu Mingfei poked Sun Haoran and asked him to think of a solution. Didn't this guy bring them here with full confidence and threatened to win the entire city?
"I wonder if my knife is enough?" Sun Haoran pulled out the knife from his waist as a joke.
This is just a broken knife picked up on the battlefield.
"Not enough." The girl shook her head and said in a cold voice, "Your knife is of no value to me."
"..."
Well, people looked down upon it, so Sun Haoran shrugged and said that he had nothing else.
The three of them looked at each other, something was wrong! Lu Mingfei was a little panicked. If he couldn't get anything valuable, the Dragon King wouldn't attack them, right?
"My knife... cannot be mortgaged." Chu Zihang clenched the knife in his hand, lowered his head and shook it, saying that he had nothing to do.
"This...you threw the question to me?" Lu Mingfei pointed at himself, looking confused.
