"The barren city is actually the old city of Palladova," Allen explained.
The overall style of the urban buildings in Yirongguo is full of reinforced concrete and ubiquitous steam equipment. There is a clear distinction from other countries.
However, this is not the case in all Yirong country cities.
In fact, the development of Yirongguo has only seen such a rapid change in the past century, and many cities still retain the style of the previous era. The buildings of the previous era were full of decadent religious flavors, and the king of Yirong strongly demanded that the cities be reformed. As a result, many cities have two distinct architectural styles.
On one side is the newly established reinforced concrete forest, and on the other side is the ancient Byzantine style.
This is the case in Palladova, its urban area is divided into the new city and the deserted city. The new city is the current main city, and the people of Palladova basically live here. The barren city is the former urban area. It is almost deserted. Only a few homeless people and some poor people live here.
"It turned out to be in the alternation of old and new reforms." Angel suddenly realized that it is no wonder that most of the cities in Yirong Kingdom are often covered with smog.
After listening to Allen's explanation, Angel asked, "Is there any special place in the deserted city?"
Allen shook his head in a low voice: "No, I walked around the deserted city, it was very peaceful. Occasionally I see some crimes, but as the boy said, it's full of homeless and poor people. Inevitably."
"However, it's impossible for my sister to owe the tour guide fee to the teenager. She must have disappeared after entering the barren city... I wonder if she might have encountered some enemies in the barren city."
This is also the reason why Allen came to look for Angel.
Now that I know where Irene disappeared, it is very likely that Irene encountered the enemy in the deserted city. So where she disappeared, even if there were no traces of battle, there must be remnants of energy fluctuations. If it happened in the near future, Allen could investigate by himself, but now it has been more than a month, and he can only hope for Angel.
Allen looked at Angel with pleading eyes.
Angel thought for a moment, he could go to Palladova to have a look, but at least he had to understand the specific situation.
Angel: "Since there are still people in the deserted city, has anyone seen Irene? A month ago, if there was a battle in the deserted city, someone would have seen or heard it, right?"
Ellen: "There was no fight, but a homeless man said he had seen Irene."
Allen paused when he said this, as if he was considering something. After a while, he said, "That homeless man's eyes flickered and he was full of lies. At that time, I was eager to find my sister, and I didn't try to distinguish it."
In short, Alan didn't know if what the tramp said was true.
"Then what did he say?"
"He said he was sleeping in a deserted building that day, saw a woman with a good temperament, and went to the parish direction."
parish? Angel looked at Alan suspiciously.
Allen explained: "There are also various areas in the barren city. The parish is the area for ancient religious activities. There are some churches and worship halls. I also went to see it, and there was no trace of Irene, so I guess that the homeless man was in the lie."
In order to find Irene, Allen used gold coins as a reward, and the tramp wanted to lie for money.
When Angel heard this, he also roughly understood. After Irene entered the barren city, it was as if the world had evaporated.
If the deserted city is really where Irene went missing, there might be some energy left there. It seems that the specific situation still needs to go to the barren city to have a look.
"Palladova's deserted city parish?" Just when Angel was going to visit Palladova first, a doubtful voice sounded.
Angel and Allen turned their heads to look, and the speaker was one of the two witches who had been eating melons silently.
Moreover, it was Charlie, the witch apprentice that Allen hated so much.
"Charlie, do you have any doubts about this place?" Angel noticed that Charlie's tone was doubtful, her eyes were not focused, and she seemed to be recalling something.
Greya also looked at Charlie curiously, she was just bored, she was going to listen to gossip to pass the time, and she was just taking Charlie with her. Could it be that Charlie still knows something
After a while, Charlie came back to her senses and saw that everyone was watching her. She was a little stunned: "Why are you looking at me, what did I say?"
Xia Li didn't look like a disguise, apparently she just muttered unconsciously.
Allen said angrily: "You were questioning the Diocese of Huangcheng just now."
"Did I say that?" Charlie murmured to herself, seeing Alan's affirmation, she thought about it and said, "Okay, maybe it's because of what you said just now, that reminds me of one thing , I unconsciously repeated the place name."
"You thought of something? What?" Angel asked.
Xia Li shrugged: "It's not a big deal, it's just some time ago... Well, maybe one day a few years ago, I was invited to perform in the capital of Yirong Kingdom."
"What kind of look are you looking at?" Xia Li raised her eyebrows and looked at Allen, the latter's face was full of disgust: "I am the most famous magician in Yi Rong, and before I entered the wizarding world, I had already started touring performances. ."
Allen murmured in a low voice, "What magician, swindler?"
Xia Li didn't care about the title of swindler, but raised her eyebrows: "The same can be said."
"Anyway, when I went to perform in Yirong Capital City, I saw a reward list posted on the bulletin board. The content of the reward is about the desolate city parish of Palladova, where a shocking big case happened. I hope someone can provide it. clue."
A bounty list for a mortal city from a few years ago? In Angel's view, it should have nothing to do with Irene's disappearance.
However, as an extraordinary person, Charlie would think of an inconspicuous reward list at the time when Allen was telling about this, which might also be a... omen.
With this idea in mind, Angel continued to ask, "What is the specific case?"
"I remember what the disappearance case was. There were more than 20 people in a religious church, and they disappeared overnight."
"Missing case? Religious church?" As soon as Allen heard 'disappearance', his ears perked up immediately.
"Yes, it seems to be a very small and unpopular religion. There are only thirty people who believe in it. As a result, so many people disappeared overnight, so the remaining budding believers all quit. At that time, some people said that this was Worshiping a cult leads to revenge from the evil gods, and some people say that they are leading them to the kingdom of God, which is unreliable anyway. If there is really an abnormality, the Sky Machine City will definitely take over."
"I think this matter should have nothing to do with your sister's disappearance."
After listening to Charlie's remarks, Allen also felt that this case had nothing to do with Irene. He still felt that Irene might have encountered some extraordinary person in Palladova.
During that time, many players who participated in the Rising Stars Tournament rushed to the Sky Machine City from all over the world, maybe some of them did it.
When Allen was thinking about this, Angel suddenly looked at Charlie and asked in a strange tone: "What did you just say... Germination believer? What does this mean?"
Xia Li was stunned for a moment: "That's what those people called at that time. It seems that the religion they believe in is Germination. They call themselves Germination believers."
"Sprouting... sprout..." Angel muttered softly, a halo seemed to flicker in his eyes.
"Why, is there anything wrong with this bud?" Greia noticed that Angel's face was a little solemn, and it seemed that something was wrong.
Angel shook his head, his eyes were a little gloomy: "It's nothing, I just thought of one thing, I need to confirm it."
