Jishi Town is neither big nor small. If you walk on foot, you can reach Butianqi City in a few months. However, riding horses is not allowed in Jishi Town, so Zhang Qi and Xuan Tiancheng couldn't help but feel distressed.
Fortunately, Thunder Dragon is an old man. He has been in this area for a long time and knows that there is a special carriage here that can carry people to Tianqi City. This carriage is huge and the horses pulling it belong to the extreme beasts and beasts. The hybridization of ordinary animals is despised even among the orcs, so the orcs don't care about it. This is very similar to the kind of bus in the previous life, which has a large passenger capacity and is affordable.
The three of them sat in a carriage and chatted along the way, which was quite comfortable. During this period, Zhang Qi learned more about the orcs and other races while listening to Thunder Dragon's introduction, and without Yu Lan's pursuit, This journey has been smooth sailing.
Since arriving in Paradise, this period of time has been the most comfortable and stress-free. Just like traveling, you can watch the strange and unique scenery along the way, as well as the Brontosaurus as your "tour guide", and all kinds of plants and animals that you have never seen before. There are all kinds of unheard of anecdotes, and there is also a melon seed that can fill you up because it is bigger than Zhang Qi’s face, but there are also painful moments, such as the appetite of a brontosaurus, this guy is bigger than ten pigs They can all be eaten. Even the frugal Zhang Qi picked out cheap food to buy along the way. After half a month, his pocket, which was still relatively rich, was instantly deflated.
Half a month later, they finally arrived at Tianqi City. They stretched their waists and patted their buttocks after riding in the carriage for half a month. Zhang Qi really felt like he had vomited it all.
After seeing the prosperity and scale of Kester, Zhang Qi thought that Tianqi City should be much bigger, but when he actually saw Tianqi City, he realized that he was wrong!
It's not that Tianwei City is not as small as he imagined, but it is bigger than he expected, much bigger. It is so big that he feels like watching a European and American blockbuster movie. He has not yet entered Tianwei City. The city wall outside alone is shocking enough.
There is no need to measure at all. It is visually estimated that it is at least hundreds of meters high. It seems to reach the sky from the bottom up. The stones of the wall are already covered with green moss. The vicissitudes of time are deeply engraved on every piece of this stone. Zhang Qi touched the stone with his hands and found that the hard texture was even far stronger than fine steel.
This is Tianqi City, an ancient city with a rich sense of history.
Few people can really tell the origin of Tianwei City, because its history is too long and too long to even look up its origins. It has experienced tens of thousands of years of changes and the baptism of countless wars, and it still remains today. Standing in the paradise world, it is like a witness to history, writing the changes in style again and again.
"Stop, what are you doing?" The guard at the door stopped Zhang Qi and the others.
"Oh, we are passing businessmen from Jishi Town. This is the entrance fee." As a frequent visitor, Thunder Dragon is of course familiar with the situation here. After all, he goes to the city for testing once a year and is already accustomed to the way in and out of here.
"Well, let's go in." The guard took the money and didn't face any further difficulties. He naturally let the three of them into the city.
Of course, Zhang Qi would not say more to avoid unnecessary details, but the amount of the fee surprised him. It was 500 Bliss Coins for one person and 1,500 for three people. Oh my God, this is too expensive. Zhang Qi’s face was filled with heartache. There was a twitching, even though he is now considered a small and medium-sized rich man.
Looking at the people coming and going, Zhang Qi's eyes widened. There are eight gates in Tianqi City, and the flow of people at each gate is about the same. According to this calculation, the city entrance fee alone is one per day. Astronomical figures, this city lord is really too rich.
"If I can be a city lord in the future, my hands and feet will cramp even if I lie down and count money. Hehe..." Looking at the crowd, Zhang Qi's heart kept wandering.
But thinking about it, it would be a bit ridiculous to say it.
The three of them entered the door obediently, only to realize that they had only entered the outer gate. This architectural form was very similar to the ancient Chinese cities in the past. There was a buffer between the city gates, which was called an urn city. , it can be used to divert the flow of people entering the city during leisure time, and can be used to block the enemy's speed of breaking through the city during war. It can also be used to catch turtles in the jar and kill more enemies. This city has very oriental characteristics.
Fortunately, the city lord is still somewhat humane. After collecting the money from the outside, he has to pay for the inner door. Otherwise, there will be two more inner doors, and his group will go bankrupt before they can enter.
After entering the city, there is an empty flat land in front of it. The size is at least hundreds of thousands of square meters. No one is allowed to stay in this area. On the left and right sides are some towering arrow towers and magic towers. Once In the event of an enemy attack, this place will be the place where the enemy loses the most lives, and it is also the last barrier of Tianqi City. It is no wonder that the administrators manage this place so strictly.
To avoid causing more trouble, the three of them quickly passed through the open space and entered the inner city.
Once entering the inner city, Zhang Qi finally felt what the real main city was, because everything in front of him completely refreshed Zhang Qi's understanding of grandeur.
There are many shops on both sides of the road that is so wide that it is exaggerated. It is not accurate to say that it is a shop. Strictly speaking, it is a commercial building, because most of these shops are high-rise buildings. The shortest ones have more than 5 floors, and the tall ones are even several meters high. Ten floors.
The architectural shapes here are even more complex and changeable, simply a fusion of Chinese and Western elements, ancient and modern.
There are commercial buildings with dozens of floors here, with typical Western design styles, which were very fashionable and visually impactful even in the past; there are also Chinese-style classical courtyard houses, which are full of charm.
There are also rusty Western castles here, which are dark, deep and mysterious; there are also royal palaces and courtyards that are noble and showy.
There are also antique multi-story pagodas here, which are solemn and solemn; there are also playground-like gladiatorial arenas, which are bloody and cruel.
There are even buildings like the pyramids and the Great Wall.
…
Buildings of such completely different eras and different styles actually appeared in the same city. This was something Zhang Qilian would never dare to think about before, but now it is vividly appearing in front of his eyes. This is not a mirage, but a real existence.
Not to mention the way people in the city dress, just like in Kestor Town, there are all kinds of styles, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign.
However, for Zhang Qi, who had already had preliminary experience, these were not too big a shock, and he had no intention of staying in these superficial shocks.
What he wants to do most now is to complete Xuan Tiancheng's promotion mission first, but it is extremely easy to find such a place.
There is no need to sell any guides or maps. There are stone maps directly on both sides of the avenue, which clearly record various directions and guides, and the most obvious one is about the place for promotion.
Climb to the sky!
All places used for promotion are called Dengtian Tower.
Climb to the sky, reach the sky in one step.
The Climbing Tower is indeed worthy of its name. For people in Elysium, not to mention that every time they advance to a level, even the first level, the leap in strength is not trivial, let alone the level, it is really a rebirth.
Especially from the white level to the blue level, this is a transformation from a mortal to a superman, in which the meaning of ascending to the sky is almost breaking out of the body.
The Climbing Tower is the easiest to find among all the buildings, because it is right next to the City Lord's Mansion. As for why it was built next to the City Lord's Mansion, you will understand after just thinking about it. Once a master is promoted, the people from the City Lord's Mansion can be the first. Time to recruit, this is also a different kind of battle between forces.
Although the Dengtian Tower is easy to find, it is quite far from the west gate where Zhang Qi and the others entered the city. Although it looks quite close on the map, Tianqi City is really too big, and the ratio between the map and reality exceeds that of Zhang Qi. In addition, ordinary people in the city are not allowed to ride horses, so Zhang Qi and the others can only walk on two feet. In order not to attract other people's attention, Zhang Qi and the others did not dare to fly. It took a long time for those who walked fast and slowly to finally arrive. Climb the sky tower.
The building shape of the Dengtian Tower is like a pagoda, getting smaller as it goes up. Each floor symbolizes a level, and the levels are strictly clear.
The first floor is a hall with a height of more than ten meters. The space is very large. It may be as big as dozens of football fields. Although it is hot summer, it is extremely refreshing inside, without a trace of heat. I don’t know if it is the one next to it. The magic is working and the human body feels very comfortable.
There are all kinds of people scattered in the hall, and their purposes are also different. Some are here to advance, some are here to watch the fun, and more are recruiters sent by various forces. Just look at the dense crowds around the hall. The office knows about it, but the largest and most conspicuous one must be the power of the City Lord's Mansion. Everyone has set up their stalls directly at the door.
As for other forces "setting up stalls" here, even the City Lord's Mansion does not dare to drive them away. After all, the City Lord's Mansion only represents one of the forces, and is not blatant enough to dare to offend all the forces. Over time, it has formed a There is a rule without rules, or it can be called a hidden rule, that is, strength determines position.
For example, the office closest to the promotion counter is the location of the Ranger Alliance, followed by the Magic Alliance, then the Orc Alliance, and so on. Of course, there are also various local gang organizations that have not joined the big forces, as well as civilian mercenary organizations. Although these forces are small, they still have a small corner position.
Fortunately, this hall is big enough, otherwise it really wouldn't be able to accommodate hundreds of offices.
But all of this is for the middle position, which is the promotion counter.
Compared with those gorgeous and exquisite counters, this promotion counter is particularly shabby. There is only a small table on it. Zhang Qi's vicious eyes can tell at a glance that this table is made of high-quality special wood. , extremely corrosion-resistant, and may have been stored here for many years.
A big red sign that looks like dripping blood stands with three characters: Climb the Sky Tower.
