The sergeants guarding the city were wearing somewhat worn stitched chain armor, holding metal spears, and their auras were mostly in the second and third levels.
Belongs to the standard of a normal soldier.
The person who asked was a fifth-level peak person and should be a squad leader in the city defense army.
Luo Zhe said through the contract.
Tang Yu noticed that only the spear in the hands of the squad leader was a rune weapon.
He was convinced and did not speak, letting Luo Zhe negotiate with the soldiers guarding the city.
"...We are adventurers from other countries..."
Luo Zhe said in a deep voice their disguised identities.
This world is generally a huge land, surrounded by oceans. On the land, there are countless kingdoms, large and small. However, perhaps because of the existence of high-end military force, communication was unimpeded before the end of the world, and the language on the continent had already been unified.
The two parties spoke in mainland China's lingua franca, but the regional differences made their accents slightly different.
And Luo Zhe is indeed from another country, this is not a fabrication.
Tang Yu listened quietly without speaking. After all, he could not speak common language and could at most convey the information he wanted to express with his mental power. At this time, his extraordinary brain power was working rapidly, translating every word spoken by Luo Zhe and the captain of the city defense team. Write down and analyze every word, and you will be able to completely master a language in no time.
"I need to ask for instructions, please wait a moment."
The team leader left in a hurry.
The other city guards looked at the few people half on alert and half curious. They seemed to have never seen humans coming from the outside world. Under the darkness, most of the cities had been destroyed long ago. Only a few big cities remained, but they were like isolated islands in the sea. Shao Shao simply believed that the city he was in was the only place of refuge for mankind.
Tang Yu was not surprised. He had a certain understanding of this continent from Luo Zhe and Zabol.
Since Elian didn't know the name of this city, it was impossible to determine its location on the map. However, many kingdoms on the continent had one characteristic: they were vast and sparsely populated. Compared to the Middle Ages, each city was much larger and the population was much larger, but the continent was even more vast, with the land area alone being ten times that of the Earth.
Before the end of the world, the Origin Qi of this world was stronger than it is now. There were countless strange beasts in the wild mountains and forests, and humans could only build cities in relatively safe places. After the Kuroshio broke out, due to the vast land and sparsely populated areas, the distance between places Communication is even more difficult. The small cities are unable to resist the dark creatures and are gradually destroyed. After decades, there may not be many cities left in the remote parts of the mainland.
Tang Yu felt the breath of life in the city, but the surrounding resources were barren, and the destruction of the outer city further compressed the living space of humans. If things continued like this, the city would only reach a dead end.
"Why are you so stupid? It's been half an hour and you still don't want to open the door to welcome us in?!"
Shay complained, took out a special silenced pistol, and shot two dark creatures in the head with a bang.
The sergeants on the city wall looked away, saying that they were not sure what the situation was and looked back from time to time.
Tang Yu was also impatient with waiting, thinking that he had to continue to maintain his personality after waiting for half an hour, so he did not smash the city gate.
Time ticks by,
After waiting for almost an hour, the city gate slowly rose with a sound of grinding teeth.
A team wearing silver armor, helmets, holding shields and swords slowly walked out of the city gate.
"I am General Buckley of Geer City. I am a few strangers. The mayor wants to see you. Come with me."
Luo Zhe nodded and walked at the front.
Tang Yu and others followed closely behind.
After entering the city, General Buckley led them toward the avenue. Other soldiers in silver armor, holding sword hilts in their hands, walked on both sides, wary of a few people.
Tang Yu maintained his character as an adventurer, while also being wary of these soldiers and observing them at the same time.
This team should be members of the elite corps. Everyone is above the sixth level. Even though General Buckley hid part of his aura, Tang Yu could still detect that the opponent was a strong man at the eleventh level.
It is a force that is enough to check and balance their group of "eight-level and nine-level" adventurers.
He doesn't care what these people think.
The main purpose of looking for a city is to locate it on the map. Now, we already know the word "Ger City", a large city in the kingdom. Zabol said that he has found the location of this city on the map he drew. .
It belongs to a country in the southwest of the continent before the end of the world. It is a large city second only to the capital of the country.
On both sides of the street were buildings with unique architectural styles, some of which were old. He also saw some wooden houses with incompatible architectural styles, and some ragged civilians, wielding hoes, struggling to cultivate small fields.
There were also some brightly dressed upper-class people passing by in human-pulled carts that looked like rickshaws from the Republic of China period.
‘That’s probably the nobility. ’
In this continent and these countries, nobles and commoners are almost two distinct species.
There were many cases of civilians dying due to famine, disaster, and disease. The nobles, especially the great nobles, enjoyed a luxurious life. Because of the existence of rune technology, their living standards were much higher than those in the Middle Ages.
Shaking his head, Tang Yu didn't bother to pay attention to these nonsense.
Suddenly, his expression was startled.
I always feel something is different.
Thinking back carefully, when we were outside the city before, that faint feeling of rejection had been lingering in my heart. But now, the feeling of rejection seems to have disappeared
Tang Yu did not dare to be careless. He concentrated on sensing and found that there were obvious differences inside and outside the city.
Outside the city, it was lonely and desolate, as if the whole world had declined.
But there is still life in the city, not just the breath of life, but the world is still alive.
The personal realm opened up, and Tang Yu finally realized it.
"... This feeling is a realm? Or a realm?"
It is not a personal domain, but a scope defined by the world. Combined with the devil clan's origin of devouring the planet, Tang Yu quickly made a guess.
This planet was invaded as early as fifty-eight years ago. Today, most of the planet's origin has probably been swallowed up, and most areas are completely dead. Only the human city has not been swallowed up. .
"I planned to establish a sub-territory before, but I had a bad feeling. Perhaps, if I build a sub-territory in the wilderness, it will be equivalent to sticking a small piece of white paper on a piece of black paper, which will be particularly conspicuous. , it is likely to attract the attention of alien races and even devil races."
"And the remaining cities of mankind are originally the rare white areas in the black paper. Putting white scraps of paper on them will not be so eye-catching."
"Especially when the territory expands, it is likely to change the originally dead landscape and bring it back to life."
He originally planned to walk around and leave, but now his goal has changed.
In this city, a sub-territory was built, becoming a bridgehead for Greenery to explore this world.
After all, the inner city is not big. After walking for more than ten minutes, I have arrived in front of the city lord's palace. From a distance, I can see the bright lights in the palace, which are particularly conspicuous in this dark city.
At this time, a banquet was being held in the city lord's palace, with dancing girls' skirts dancing and nobles drinking and drinking.
City Lord Hutt Eddie sat on the first throne and glanced lightly.
The cities are isolated and isolated from the world. Each city is a small country, and every city lord is a king.
"Let us welcome a few strangers."
City Lord Hutt said a few words lightly, and the nobles on both sides of the long table started talking about it.
The eyes of Tang Yu and the others were more curious.
"Stranger? It turns out there are other humans alive."
"It's none of our business. I'm afraid they had no choice but to escape because their city was destroyed."
"My strength seems to be quite strong. I don't know if I can become a follower. I'm afraid I will be snatched away by the Lord of the City, hahaha."
Tang Yu frowned.
On one side was a long table filled with sumptuous food, on the other side were dancing girls and a band.
The group of nobles looked at them like monkeys. He didn't like this environment.
The general who had just led them in was now standing in front of the banquet hall like a stake, saying that he was not qualified to enter.
Shay took two steps forward, looked unhappy and said, "Invite us here, but let us stand. Is this the way you treat guests in Geer City?"
City Lord Hutt, who was on the throne, glanced and said nothing.
A nobleman on one side of the long table made a sound that was almost like a sneer, "Do these few adventurers still want to sit with us? Do you still have any rules in your eyes?"
The identity of the adventurer was the disguise of Tang Yu and his friends, and they had already been informed.
In the eyes of these nobles, how could a lowly adventurer be qualified to sit at the same table as them? Not to mention that a few people did not let the extraordinary power drive away the dust for the sake of character. Although the equipment was neat and tidy, it was inevitably stained with some dust and blood.
"You guys will report to the First Army defending the city later. Okay, let's get down."
City Lord Hutt waved his hand to set the tone.
The surrounding nobles sighed with regret.
After all, his power is completely incomparable to that of the city lord. Since these foreigners who have fled from other places can join the most elite first army of the city defenders, how can they choose to be pure nobles like them? thug.
At least in the First Army, there is still a path for civilians to rise to the rank of nobles, although it is very slim.
Tang Yu and Yi Lian looked at each other and shrugged helplessly.
The city lord is already a half-step extraordinary master, and he is a powerful presence in the city. For a few outsiders who are not weak, but only not weak, such an attitude, according to Luo Zhe's remarks , already considered moderate.
Or it can be said that during the banquet, City Lord Hutt was in a relatively happy mood. If it were another irritable old brother, City Lord, he would definitely be furious due to what Shay said just now.
As for messing with people you shouldn't mess with, that doesn't even exist.
There are also very few Chaofan in this world. Most of them are big nobles who pay attention to pomp and show when traveling. For Chaofan who values face more than anything else, it is impossible for him to get himself into trouble, let alone in the world. I waited patiently outside the city for nearly an hour.
only,
"Did you misunderstand something?"
Tang Yu spoke in a slightly broken common language, and his tone didn't seem to care at all.
Repeatedly, City Lord Hutt's face became a little gloomy, "What, are you planning to let down the good intentions of this City Lord?"
"So you misunderstood. After all, we just wanted to come over for tea. It turned out that there was no tea here and the level of chefs was limited. We were thinking of buying a piece of land from you, but after thinking about it, we felt that it was impossible for you to agree. After thinking about it, Go, convincing people with virtue won’t work anymore.”
The words were very casual, the common language was already poor, and there were also some nouns that the nobles did not understand.
General Buckley, who was guarding the banquet hall, was a little anxious.
Walking and talking along the way, he had a good sense of these adventurers, but he didn't expect to be so bold. The tone of talking to the city lord was the same as talking to people walking on the street.
I'm afraid they have been on the run for so many years that they have long forgotten the majesty of the nobility.
But if this happens, I'm afraid it will anger the Lord of the City!
Buckley was anxious, but he was afraid of speaking due to the inferiority complex formed over decades. He turned his head and kept signaling with his eyes, but he could only see the backs of Tang Yu's and others' heads.
"shut up!"
"Be bold!"
"How dare you talk to the Lord of the City like this!"
Several guards in the field and some minor nobles who were eager to show off scolded him repeatedly.
The city lord on the throne stood up and glanced sternly, "It seems that you are used to wandering in the wilderness. In this case..."
A dozen guards in armor drew their swords and surrounded them.
The nobles watched this scene with great interest. They were even more excited to see real people fighting during the banquet. Someone pulled the maid next to him into his arms, put a pair of hands into his clothes, and Indescribable parts are rubbed wantonly.
Talking loudly, the wine glasses clashed with each other and made a crisp sound.
Someone smiled and gave condolences to several adventurers.
Tang Yu shrugged, "Leave it to you."
Shay grinned, "It's long past time to convince people with reason. My big gun can't wait."
More than a dozen elite city lord's palace guards ranging in strength from the seventh level to the ninth level swooped forward.
Bang bang!
Shay did not take out a firearm, but made the shape of a gun with his fingers, opened and closed his mouth, and produced the sound of bullets coming out of the chamber. Suddenly, energy bullets flew out from his fingertips.
The guards of the City Lord's Mansion who had just taken steps flew out one by one.
Some flew tens of meters and hit the wall of the hall, and some crashed onto the long table filled with rich food, causing a mess.
The little nobles who were at the back of the long table, who were about to watch the show, changed their expressions. When they saw the fierce Xie, they were so frightened that they quickly stood up and retreated. Several nobles with poor strength and big belly were still behind them. With the help of his entourage, he was able to stay away.
City Lord Hutt narrowed his eyes. For a short moment, he felt the threat from Shay.
"Okay, I didn't expect you to hide your strength. I was wrong, but you seem to have forgotten that this is the City Lord's Mansion, my territory."
As soon as he finished speaking,
An invisible force enveloped him, and for an instant, Tang Yu felt that his body was heavier... just a little bit.
He couldn't help but smile with interest.
(The two chapters from yesterday were supposed to be in the new volume, but the author forgot about them and doesn’t know how to move them there now...)
