Aino continent, the royal capital.
Located in the center of the boundless continent, it occupies the most and best resources in the entire world.
In this world, there are dark lead-gray clouds everywhere, the sun never shines all year round, the source of energy is thin, and resources are scarce.
For example, Zhenxicheng, before the outbreak of the Kuroshio, was also a land rich in resources. After decades of fighting, a large number of mineral veins were mined, and resources were continuously consumed. Due to the thin source of energy and some special reasons, the newly born resources were becoming more and more abundant. Few, even the original mineral veins are "withering" unconsciously.
The Central Royal Capital is different.
Although it is also trapped in a corner, the resources of the royal capital are still much richer than other places in the world.
If someone stands on the outermost wall of the Royal Capital and observes carefully, they will find that even though the sky above the Royal Capital is also covered with gray clouds, it is much thinner than the outside world.
It seems that you can vaguely see a hint of green
These were Zabol's exact words, and he didn't know why he had such an illusion.
Standing on the rooftop of the most majestic building in Zhenxicheng - Lvyin Commercial Plaza, Tang Yu looked towards the direction of the capital... Of course he couldn't see anything.
He had some information about the royal capital on hand, most of which was provided by the Zhenxicheng City Lord's Palace.
The central royal capital is the core of the world. Before the outbreak of the Kuroshio, it was rumored that the royal capital had a population of more than 100 million. The city was also very large, much larger than the provincial capital city. It was also divided into an inner city and an outer city.
As the center of the world, the Royal Capital is the city with the most nobles. In the inner city, it is said that if you throw a brick on the street, you can hit one noble among ten people, and the remaining nine are the noble's followers.
Some nobles who were not well off were not even qualified to enter the inner city of the royal capital.
Mor Garcia's family, as the hereditary duke of the Aino Kingdom, even though the family's foundation is in Zhenxi City, it once owned a huge industry in the inner city of the royal capital. However, after decades, Zhenxi City has been unable to contact the royal capital. , especially as the war continued and the high-end power fell, the Iron-Blooded Duke's Palace even lost contact with the royal capital, and could only rely on the large formation to defend Zhenxi City.
Now that they have the support of Green Shadow, they have once again started to think about going to the royal capital.
"Two possibilities. One is that the wilderness of Aino continent is extremely dangerous, especially in the central area of the continent."
Tang Yu thought.
On Earth, apart from certain special areas, as long as you don't encounter alien races, the threat to the extraordinary from the outside is not great. The continent of Aino is obviously more dangerous. Zabol and the others rushed from Ger City to Zhenxi City. During this period, they encountered dozens of dangers, which could cause serious damage or even the death of Chaofan.
The black tide alone is more ferocious than the demonic tide on earth. It awakens high-level dark creatures and defeats them countless times. Once extraordinary is trapped in a heavy siege, he may die of exhaustion.
What's more, they have already encountered dark creatures with extraordinary combat power on the way.
"Different from the disaster-level demonized beast, it is truly extraordinary. It has a force field and its IQ is not bad..."
Tang Yu couldn't tell whether it was because of the difference between the Black Tide and the Demon Tide.
There are also more Jedi than Earth.
In particular, some dead places seemed to be cancers rooted in the planet, carrying a strong aura of death. Shay once approached them in a desperate attempt. As a result, the vitality quickly disappeared. According to Shay's inference, once it fell into "dead silence" "Land" core, even a second-level transcendent, will decay and die within a few seconds.
Zhenxi City is located in the western border of the Aino Kingdom, closer to the kingdom's border and far away from the royal capital. It is true that you may encounter countless dangers on the way.
"However, after all, Zabol, Xingling Xingyue and the others have successfully rushed from Geer City to Zhenxi City without even using the scroll to return to the city... Logically speaking, the Duke's Palace also has some trump cards, and they shouldn't even arrive in the royal capital. No."
Tang Yu had to consider the second possibility. After all, the water in the royal capital was deep.
Of course, the strife among the nobles has nothing to do with him, and he is not here to help Zhenxi City.
He intends to find out the truth about the outbreak of the Kuroshio because there are too many similarities between the Kuroshio and the Demonic Tide. In addition, after the transaction with the same town in Xicheng, the territory's heritage has become much richer. As long as he digests all the knowledge and resources If you drop it, the overall combat power will rise to another level.
In particular, some drawings obtained from the Holy City can be produced in the workshop immediately after gathering the materials.
The "mysterious branch" taken from the Lord's Mansion of Geer City also concerned him a lot.
The Duke's Palace's answer in this regard was to take matters into their own hands. However, through the conversations secretly collected by "Spiritual Space" with the powerful people in Zhenxi City, Tang Yu learned that not only the Duke's Palace had such trump cards, but also several big names in the inner city. The nobles also had some formations arranged around the city walls.
Various clues point to a treasure in the royal capital.
Tang Yu mastered the key information without Moore and others noticing it, or even unwilling to disclose it. This is the advantage of having a platform.
It is true that there is no danger in the "spiritual space", but as long as people from other forces get used to this extremely real space, a lot of news will have nothing to hide.
His new "personal space" added by Lord Tang was not just for earning source crystals. Is he such a superficial person
no!
In the personal space, the awakened person can completely relax, rest and enjoy, invite friends to their own space, and during the conversation, secrets can be revealed accidentally.
This is his purpose.
…
The matter in Zhenxi City has come to an end.
While Tang Yu was thinking, Zabol and others had already set off for the royal capital.
The target of the aerostat is too obvious. Zabol and the others are riding a third-generation aerospace tank, which is extremely fast and can rival the speed-type senior extraordinary ones. The most important thing is that it has excellent concealment and can even block the aura of the extraordinary ones. Lose.
People in the Duke's Palace are very jealous of this kind of vehicle.
Ever since, for the sake of friendship between the two parties, Luyin sold a floating chariot to the main palace of Zhenxi City at a material price equivalent to 200W source crystal.
now,
One of the three floating chariots heading to the royal capital belonged to the main palace of Zhenxi City, and there were two extraordinary people inside.
The other two vehicles, one carried Zabol and Gray Blade, and the other carried Lorraine and the wolf girl Fanny... Originally, Zhuraturi was also on the list of the first batch to go to the royal capital. After all, most of them had illusion abilities. It works well sometimes, but this bamboo rat seems to be in a bad mood.
boom!
Black tentacles tore through the ground, like a large net covering several floating chariots.
"Switch to manual control mode!"
"Charge the shaped cannon!"
"The old driver started racing!"
Each black tentacle is very thick, emerging from the ground, and each rumbling blow is enough to destroy a mountain.
Even if it is a third-generation floating tank, if it is swept by the black tentacles, the defensive formation will probably be severely damaged.
at this time,
Among the countless black tentacles, three floating chariots shuttled flexibly like swimming fish.
The one belonging to the Duke's Palace has a slightly stiff control and lacks soul, but after all, it is a veteran with extraordinary reflexes and can control the floating chariot through the gap where the black tentacles are intertwined.
"What kind of creature is this? It stands to reason that we don't have any breath leaking out?"
Lorraine controlled the steering wheel. Although she was asking, her tone was very excited.
After flying in the dark wilderness for more than a day, she was almost exhausted, and she was eager to fight with this unknown creature.
"It should be touch."
Zabol said in a deep voice, "The Touching Ball is a dark creature with a large size and extraordinary combat power. It is very sensitive to all moving objects around it. We just flew over the Touching Ball, which made it suddenly Take action.
The vitality of the ball is extremely terrifying. Even if we all try our best, we may not be able to kill it... The most urgent task is to quickly leave the hunting range of the ball. "
"right!"
General Dulu from the Duke's Palace also echoed, "The ball is generally rooted in its own 'territory' and moves slowly. As long as we fly away from this area, we will be safe."
While talking,
More and more black tentacles emerged from the ground.
The earth is cracked and earth and rocks are flying.
next moment,
boom!
The ground suddenly collapsed thousands of meters, revealing huge potholes.
One head looks like a meat ball, with countless densely packed tentacles growing on the ball. Each tentacle has a monster hundreds of meters long, emerging from the ground.
At no slow speed, its huge body floated forward, chasing the escaping prey.
The big black hand, composed of dozens of fleshy flesh, reached forward and grabbed one of the floating tanks.
"How is that possible! Aren't the balls generally rooted in the ground and rarely moving! And where does the ball come from with such speed?!"
General Dulu was horrified and controlled the floating chariot to fly and dodge, with beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
If it weren't for this divine weapon-level vehicle, I'd probably be in trouble long ago.
Can,
He caught a glimpse of the huge meat ball flying extremely fast, and the new attack method was even more flexible. Once he made a mistake...
Whoosh!
A dazzling beam of light burst out from one side and shot through the big black hand composed of dozens of flesh tentacles. The big hand disintegrated and turned into countless tentacles, but soon, each big black hand condensed into shape.
Before General Dulu could react, he saw a floating chariot going backwards. The main gun's scorching light condensed, and circles of rune arrays appeared on the body of the chariot.
His eyes widened and he was lost for a moment and almost got hit by a tentacle.
General Duru felt inferior to this kind of courage.
How dare Lorraine have any courage? Her life creed is very simple, just be tough if you can get past it, but if you can't get past it... just run away with a sudden shot.
Thinking back to the beginning, she had no choice but to live in a foreign country because she owed a huge debt and could not live up to those creditors.
Huge contact with the ball, in her eyes, is the kind that can be strong.
Anyway, with the scroll to return to the city in hand, I can escape at any time with a confused face, save the two of them, and expand my network of contacts, so that when I need to borrow money in the future, I will not be unable to find anyone.
"Fuck me!"
Lorraine showed off her driving skills and shuttled quickly.
In the back seat, Fanny's two pointed ears were twitching, her eyes were focused, and she was controlling many attack weapons, and the beam of light shot the ball in the face.
On another floating chariot, Zabol held an intermediate detection crystal in his hand and looked solemn.
Regarding touching the ball, he knows about the same as General Duru.
However, the information detected by the crystal at this moment, touching the ball, has undoubtedly... evolved.
Human beings become stronger through practice, but dark creatures don't seem to need to practice.
Just evolve again and again.
How to evolve and under what conditions, Zabol does not know.
He just felt heavier.
After a few minutes,
The three floating chariots shook off their physical contact, repositioned their navigation systems, and set off towards the royal capital.
After flying for more than two days and encountering numerous dangers along the way, they finally approached the capital of the Kingdom of Aino.
Approaching the royal capital, the desolate scene on the land improved slightly.
You can see some trees with sparse branches and leaves, weeds and grass, and a small river flowing past.
There are also some long-abandoned houses that can be seen everywhere. Decades have passed, and their former appearance is no longer clearly visible.
"These are the villages around the capital. The area around the capital was relatively safe before the Kuroshio broke out. There were few thieves or strange beasts, but now..."
Zabol shook his head.
Although there is a little green on the ground, there are more ferocious-looking dark creatures wandering around.
The roaring continued.
General Duru was surprised, and a voice came from the communication device of the floating chariot, "How come the dark creatures are so dense in the area around the royal capital? It is too easy to cause a black tide!"
Although Zhenxi City does not explore much of the outside world, it still organizes legions to go out of the city to eliminate dark creatures every once in a while, not to mention that some mining areas are located outside the city.
Some freelance mercenaries also rely on the source crystals obtained from hunting dark creatures to make a living.
There must be traces of human activities around the city.
There seems to be none in the royal capital area.
This is not awakening!
Zabol sighed softly:
"Because of the existence of the "Eternal Wall", the royal capital doesn't care about the impact of the black tide at all. At most, only after the impact of the dark tide, the soldiers guarding the city will briefly walk out of the city wall to collect materials from dark creatures. "
"Some free mercenaries may have plans to leave the city. However, whether the gate of the "Eternal Wall" is opened or not is in the hands of the defending army, and they have no plans to allow the mercenaries to enter and exit freely. "
"This "Eternal Wall"...? "General Dulu became more and more confused.
Zabol said slowly, "The former royal capital had two walls: an inner city and an outer wall. The inner city wall was 60 meters high, and the outer city wall was 100 meters high. The "Eternal Wall" was built on the outermost edge of the royal capital. The city wall is 135 meters high.
It seems that the size of the "Eternal Wall" does not exceed that much, but in fact, its defensive capabilities far exceed the walls of the outer city of the royal capital.
There have been experiments in the past, and a full-strength blow of the extraordinary level cannot leave any trace on the "Eternal Wall". The air is forbidden around the wall, and it has anti-invisibility, anti-penetration and other capabilities.
The most important thing is that the scope of protection of the "Eternal Wall" is very vast, expanding the original royal capital dozens of times. It is like a small world inside. The nobles have no shortage of resources, so they have no idea of exploring outside. . "
Zabol didn't really think it through.
When the Kuroshio broke out, the situation in the royal capital was not good.
As far as he knew, many important figures had disappeared in the past ten years, and he guessed that they had died.
However, in the twenty-eighth year when the Kuroshio broke out, this "eternal wall" was suddenly built, and the capital was now in danger.
The royal family also began to give up the endless fighting and began to manage the vast area of the royal capital circle.
While thinking,
The towering Eternal Wall appeared in the eyes of several people.
The floating chariot has switched to moving on land, hiding among the trees and not approaching.
