Since they decided to stay for two more days, the group of people naturally canceled the boat trip and decided to take a stroll on the way to the hotel in the city for registration.
Walking out of the purple hut without a house number, after such a delay, the sky has already begun to light up, revealing the sky from orange red to blood red. The shops in the market opened their doors one after another. Just like the sky that day, there was a lively atmosphere in less than half an hour.
Walking through several grocery and drug stores, many adventurers appeared on the not-so-spacious street, and Nolan couldn't help sighing: "I didn't expect that there are so many people on a neutral island! Many of them look good." Strange! Look, look—"
At this time, the elder brother stood on the side silently, following the gestures of the younger sister and looking around curiously, the cat ears on his head stood upright. Indeed, there are many races on this street that Xu Mo and Nuo Lan have never seen before, such as the tall and strong orange-skinned man who just walked past, the black-skinned golden cat-eyed woman sitting in the shadow of the tavern drinking, and Two pale-skinned humans with feathers on their arms and calves...
"Haha, you two really haven't seen much of the world." Ferrier patted the shoulders of the two boldly, and said, "Let's go, and explain to you while talking-the so-called neutral zone is that you are not subject to anyone. It is a gray area controlled by the royal power of the mainland, so it is normal for some ethnic minorities to come and go in and out of the non-jurisdictional area. Look at those pale-faced people with wings, they are the Yu tribe living in the Sky Islands; The golden-skinned and golden-eyed Clarks are an endangered species from the Land of Chaos; and the big orange-skinned man is a special race living in Iwo Jima and its surrounding areas, Dom."
Listening to the explanation, Xu Mo and Nuo Lan couldn't help but look at the past, until when they looked at Dem, they were interrupted by Philier's reminder: "Hey, hey! Don't look at the Dem people, they are the local tyrants !"
The two brothers and sisters immediately looked away, and Nolan asked curiously, "The local tyrant? What do you mean?"
"Oh, these Dem, most of them are Dole's mercenaries... Oh, I forgot to tell you that Iwo Jima is the territory of a pirate group. The leader of these pirates is called Dole, and he should be a very cruel person. Anyway, I have never seen it, but I have heard of it. In the past, this was a wild island where pirates could come and go freely. More than a dozen pirate groups fought endlessly with Iwo Jima as the core for the rich resources in this pearl sea area. The chaos continued. I don’t know how many years, but in the end those island groups were recovered one by one by Dole led by the Dem people, and only then did this piece of Pearl Sea and the peace and prosperity of this neutral island city come into being. How about it, my story is not bad, right? These I heard it all from the locals, hahaha."
"Hehehe, the story is very good." Xu Mo echoed with humor, and said casually, "Since the Pearl Sea area and this Iwo Jima are so prosperous, why don't some kings from those three continents come to attack and occupy them?"
"This problem has bothered me before, so when I was wandering in the neutral zone, I made a special inquiry. I put together various information and my own guesses. I think it is probably because the cost is too high and it is difficult to govern. Bar?"
"The price is too high? It should be feasible for them to put the garrison and leadership team after they take it down." Xu Mo said again.
"Maybe it will work, but the price is too high. People of some nations in this world are difficult to control. Even if they are temporarily enslaved, they will try their best to resist in the end unless they are extinct." Ferrier said He suddenly sighed, "Isn't that the case with those poor blood elves? Even if their bodies and souls have been forcibly branded, they are still resisting..."
When Ferril said this, they had already reached the edge of this small market. In front of them was a continent made of white sand and white stones. In the distance, amidst the shallow sand, a mirage-like illusion faintly glowed under the red light of the day. move.
"That's the commercial center of Iwo Jima, the city of Dole—that's right, this narcissistic pirate leader named the city after himself, let's go, let's go to the hotel to register and get the quest!" Philier said and jumped. After getting on the horse, Duoduo jumped on top of her head, and then galloped out.
The two brothers and sisters immediately jumped on the horse, followed by the little black dragon flapping its wings.

The city in the neutral zone was indeed less heavily guarded than the big cities. There was only one Dum at the gate, leaning against the side of the stone gate, half awake and dozing off, turning a blind eye to the crowds entering and leaving.
The city is more lively than the market at the port area. The orange-yellow and white sandy soil combined with the city made of logs, combined with various strange races, presents an alternative exotic atmosphere. The architectural style of the core urban area of Iwo Jima is obviously different from the previous port market, Xu Mo couldn't help blurting out: "The city on this island looks like it was built by people of different races."
"It should be. There are aliens everywhere here, and even the Pirate Alliance has twelve branches!" Philier replied and started to enter the city.
Entering the city from the east gate where the three people rush in is a free trade area where adventurers gather. Travelers sit on the ground, shouting, and displaying items scavenged from all over the world in exchange for materials or money they are interested in. Nolan was very curious about this, and wanted to jump off the horse to take a closer look, but was stopped by Ferrer: "The hotel is not far ahead, settle down, and you can go out for a stroll, there are so many people here every day, Don't worry about missing something."
The little girl had to give up.
They traversed three more crooked paths and eventually came to a four-story building with a sign reading: Iwo Jima's Largest and Only Hotel.
The stables are in the shadow on the south side of the building. After storage, push the door to enter.

This is definitely the busiest hotel that Xu Mo and Nolan, two newcomers who have never seen much of the world, have ever seen. No, the bartender and the boss have to hold the plate high in their hands and keep swearing and shuttling through the crowd. In this case, don't try to find a seat.
The two brothers and sisters looked at everything in front of them with curious and surprised expressions, and were dragged by Philier to the counter on the left hand side to register, while Nolan let the little black dragon bite his staff to avoid getting lost. After completing the registration, Ferril dragged them into the crowd and shuttled towards the task wall opposite.
-
There are people everywhere in the hotel, and the task wall is surrounded without exception.
The three people in the group are not considered tall people, so that the content on the task wall is completely blocked by the human wall, and half a word cannot be seen.
