I made up for two days of sleep on the weekend, and I will make up all yesterday's updates today, please forgive me.
-------------------I am the dividing line asking for atonement------------------------ ---------
Follow the girl's footsteps down the dark stairs, and the ghost blue fire is floating to guide the way, all the way straight forward, as she said, after about three to five minutes, the two walked out of the stair passage one after the other , What is displayed in front of you is a large inner city built of black stones under the light of a will-o'-the-wisp floating in the air.
[The internal structure of this shadow city is really weird...] This was Witt's first thought after entering the city.
Not to mention that the stairs going down behind him do not lead to another room, but lead to a secret door on the wall on the edge of the city, which looks like a sewer exit.
Looking at the boulders interspersed in the city, some were deliberately carved into statues of strange figures or monsters, and more were in completely random shapes and placements. The buildings in the entire city are mostly constructed of black stone, and occasionally a few buildings with different stone materials are also made of dark limestone, which makes the whole city look depressing and dull. In addition, people in the city are in a hurry, and the whole city remains silent. The silent style, only the will-o'-the-wisp lights the way forward, and there is a trace of rhythm in the wandering, but it just adds a little more weirdness to the scene of this ghostly ghost town.
Following the girl's footsteps, he walked inwards through the outer city. When he was about to pass through a narrow passage, Witt was stopped by two soldiers in black armor, and then he realized that he could not carry a mount when going to the inner city. So he had no choice but to store the ostrich in a public stable not far from one side, and then he was able to continue walking inward.
After walking through the narrow passages between the buildings made of boulders for about a quarter of an hour, Witt saw an orchid light shining down from the sky like an umbrella in front of him, shining in a circle like the ancient Rome in the original world. Above the arena-like building, and the location of that building seems to be the center of the entire city.

"Okay, the core business district is just ahead. We agreed before that I will take you here. You can run forward for a few minutes and you will see the notice board showing the map. In fact, the hotel is not far from here. Go northeast from the place where you got the map, bypass the blacksmith shop, and go east two steps.” This is the longest sentence this girl who has never shown her makeup looks said, “I I'm going in a different direction than you, so goodbye."
"Wait." Witt called her hastily, "I don't know your name yet." In fact, he wasn't sure if this girl with a special personality would be willing to leave her name, but he decided to report his family first. "My name is Witt, and I'm a gunman from Flame Village."
The girl turned her back and paused for a second, before finally leaving her name: "My name is Ayatsuji."
-
After leaving his name, Ayatsuji ran to the left in a few steps, turned a corner and disappeared.
Witt followed her instructions and successfully found the notice board where the map was hung. He took off the map and studied it for a while, and found that the Shadow City is a spiral shape, with the central arena as the origin, and the spiral shell pattern of the building is outward. With the extended structure, it is no wonder that the road was so strange earlier, not to mention the narrow road, it is also a curved road section.
After getting the map, the hotel is naturally easy to find. With Ayatsuji’s earlier reminder, Witt came to a high-rise building made of square gray stone with a prominent hotel signboard in a short while.
Pushing open the tightly closed door, I saw many adventurers sitting on the carefully arranged stone tables and chairs in the room. There were very few decorations in the whole room, except for the blue lights hanging on the roof, the most conspicuous There are still four bright white lights placed in the corners of the room, making the atmosphere of the whole room much brighter and more pleasant than that of the outside.

"Welcome, new adventurer, do you want to eat or stay in a hotel?" A muslim-like man in black appeared in front of him, and his tone sounded like a middle-aged man in his early 40s People, the identity should be the boss here.
"Oh, I also eat at the hotel. I'll register first." Witt was interrupted before looking carefully at every corner, and Witt immediately came back to his senses and walked towards the registration counter on the left.
Putting his hand on the return stone to register, Witt raised his eyes and met the boss's staring eyes, and then he asked: "What a young boy, are you here to watch the fighting skills competition?"
"Fighting skills conference? Oh, no, I'm here to find someone, but I'm just fooling around... What is a fighting skills conference?" Witt scratched his head.
"So, I misunderstood. Usually, adventurers who come to Shadow City have two demands. One is to do everything possible to visit the Nether Lord to ask for divination and pray for oracle, and the other is to come here to participate in the fighting skills competition. The fighting in the city Skill conferences are held every day, every week, and every month. The most official conference of the brave is held every three months. Those who advance can participate in the ultimate arena competition at the end of the year and win the title of annual brave. Rich. The Summer Fighting Skills Tournament is in full swing recently, and I thought you were here to watch the battle." The boss explained patiently, with a very kind tone. (To be continued.)} ( )
