As a multi-ethnic city that has undergone thousands of years of changes, with the repairs and reconstructions of his successive owners, the streets of Vitan are cluttered and disordered. .
The goblins came and built their alchemy laboratory, engineering laboratory and large-scale cross-city racing track. The orcs came, and naturally they witnessed the arena of blood and honor. The elves came, and there will be no shortage of theaters and artificial forests. , the mages are here, and the towering mages tower is naturally indispensable.
The streets are full of buildings of various styles and ages, the solemn dwarf-style Baroque buildings, the mysterious and eerie dark elf Gothic buildings, and the goblin style mixed with metal pick and gun smoke can be found here, and even, Due to the presence of Druids and dark shamans, modern relaxed and free surface elf pastoral style can be found here.
Perhaps the same multi-ethnic coexistence of Sulphur Mountain City also has the potential and vitality to become such a historical city, but in front of this ancient city, it still seems too young and impetuous.
The trend of the new era and the precipitation of history are intertwined with each other. The ethnic costumes and specialty vendors on the streets can be used as scenery. The charm of multi-ethnic cultures is undoubtedly evident in this ancient city, which illustrates the ancient and changes of the Platinum City from one side.
Today, with the changes of the times, the orderly and orderly design in the original design has long since disappeared. Time and history have divided the entire urban area into countless "canyons" of tic-tac-toe, cross-shaped and irregular images. The Covenant chose it as the location of its headquarters, and more and more races and dungeons chose to occupy a corner of the city. Facing a city that was changing every day, even the old Vitans who had lived here all their lives could not figure it out. There are so many racial and ethnic buildings here, and it is impossible to sort out where the various alleys lead.
But there is one place that all Vitans will never forget - the Platinum Chapel.
Of course, this is also related to its huge area and the seven towering mage towers in the period. If you can see it in any corner of Vitan City, you will naturally not forget him.
It was originally the mansion of the King of Platinum, who was famous in history for his extravagance. At that time, the domineering underground man who led the city and the surrounding hundreds of dungeons alone spent a lot of money to create this six-kilometer complex. The city within the city, even to match its name, has made a shiny coating on the outer walls with mithril and platinum. The light is scattered, and the glittering fortress is more like the castle in the clouds of the angel's home, and its interior is even more jeweled. The streets are flashing, grosgrain beauties are serving, and the wine pool is full of meat every day...
Well, not to mention how the fellow was recklessly levied later, and how he was overthrown by the boiling public grievances, now the hero of the situation has become ashes, but the platinum chapel he left behind has become a symbol of Vitan City.
Even though the extravagant precious metal coating on the original walls has long been scraped away, and the walls are full of magical plants like ivy, the huge and luxurious palace area is still the most beautiful castle in Vitan City and even the entire underground world.
Now the underground world is not the reality that the King of Platinum was the only one, and the four hegemons restricted each other. The state of Vitan has always been without a master, but no one dared to touch this fortress, but today, it has been activated again. , it is the main venue of the League, and the scale even exceeds its heyday.
Fireworks are constantly in the sky, griffins and manticores shuttle back and forth to pick up visiting guests, the majestic dragon is only the guard and doorman of the party, the carriages are pulled by super monsters, and the ingredients on the lunch table are cherished top monsters , even among the dungeon masters who attended the conference, there are many strong people, worthy of the name "Legends are not as good as dogs, holy orders are everywhere", maybe there is no luxury and wealth of the human kingdom, but the underground world where the strong are respected, but uses Make your own way to adorn this biennial event.
We came quite early, but it is already a sea of people. The venue is divided into three floors, the inner and outer floors. The outer layer is also the outer city of the Platinum Chapel. The ordinary citizens can come in here, and the guards of the lords will also be on guard here. It is a large-scale event performance. The flowing water banquet must be filled for at least a week. The middle-level is small lords and famous heroes. Their reception will last for three days. The inner-level meeting period is the shortest, and the two-day meeting period is enough for all parties. The big guy is arguing.
More than a dozen Roland robots walked together, keeping the same pace, constantly creating light earthquakes, and even forcing the carriage in front to give way. On the road, there was a giant steel-backed Yalong, who refused to give way by relying on its big butt, and was directly lifted by Roland No. 2. Get up and throw the iron ball far away... Of course I won't burn money in vain, although they can only be parked in the outer city venue, but the purpose of declaring force has been perfectly achieved.
Few of the dungeon masters are good-natured, and there were constant small frictions along the way, and the security personnel also kept silent tacitly. On the way we came, we saw several duels, many of which were legendary players.
In fact, demonstrations and security are the reasons why most city lords bring their most powerful guards. The underground overlords are even more unavoidable. The seven or eight red dragon guards at the gate are not just Moriel who is proclaiming his force. .
By the way, Xiaohong should have come too, but because she didn't want to leave her bed (those babies... ), she had no choice but to make an agreement and send a signal when she needed to appear...
But when Moriel saw us, she was obviously relieved. She also knew what her daughter's habits were. If she was hanged and beaten in public during the alliance, it would be a shame to throw it away... Could it be that the group of red dragons at the door is blocking the way? Little red? Inexplicably, I seem to see the truth.
"Hey, old guy, here I am, how are you doing these days?"
It is absolutely forbidden to start a war during the alliance, and the offender will directly become the public enemy of the alliance, but this does not prevent me from sarcasm, or in such a situation where everyone can only talk, it is more convenient for me to talk freely. Now, hear When I mentioned the experience of these days, the beautiful face of the Long Queen was immediately distorted in anger.
Of course, I know that they are not doing very well these days. They have been repeatedly attacked by thieves, dungeon masters and even undead kings. Even though their background is amazing, but how to guard against everyone's enemies
"Hehe, there are already six Ciro Archons, but luckily none of the top three came... If they come, I shouldn't be able to see you. Ramsden's ant poison is cool, it should hurt. Come and die."
The Dragon Queen only looked at her appearance, but she was also a red-haired beauty, but at this moment, she was wearing black gloves that stretched to her shoulders, and her fur coat covered her entire upper body. This was a completely different style of dress from the past, with obvious injuries on her hands and body. , And only yesterday I heard that she and Ramsden played against each other, and the most likely thing was the deadly plague formic acid.
Sure enough, the magic lines on Moriel's angry face were twisted, but then, silver teeth nibbled, and she forcibly endured it.
He took the cocktail from the waiter, drank it in one gulp, and left, leaving only one sentence.
"You won't be complacent for long."
I quickly replied.
"By the way, your daughter said she wanted to flatten you, so remember to bring bodyguards. The words of the group at the door are not enough for her to fight."
My voice was deliberately loud, and the surrounding city lords were shocked that someone dared to provoke the Dragon Queen like this, and what made them even more incredible was that after the Dragon Queen gnashed her teeth, she didn't respond back, and seemed to acquiesce to reality.
"Uncle Bones, if you say that to her, will she make a fuss when we join the alliance?"
"If you don't laugh at her, it won't make trouble? Since it's already destined to offend, let's offend to the end. Besides, in the underground world, only the strong will be respected. We did offend the Dragon Queen, but at the same time we got The favor of her enemies. Look how happy that fat bald man is smiling."
The fat bald guy in my mouth was chatting with Kaya vigorously. When he saw me coming, he waved to let me over. He exclaimed in his ears, not to mention the fight with the dragon queen just now, only the active invitation of the underground overlord Elul. , I'm afraid it's enough for us "newcomers" to make headlines.
Esterna Airul, with a round body and few hairs, is a bit imaginary when he is far away and a moving boiled egg, but there is really no one who dares to express it.
Facing the invitation, I took a step back and let Annie step forward to perform her duties.
There has been a lot of turmoil recently, and Annie has a lot of opportunities to take action. Coupled with the fact that everyone actively feeds her moves, her strength has improved significantly, especially after listening to her adoptive father's breakthrough experience, she has vaguely touched something and can break through at any time. Not surprising.
But compared with Annie, who has made great progress all the way, Eliza behind me is inexplicably silent. Unlike Annie, who is destined to be the lord of Sulphur Mountain City, Eliza doesn't know what she wants, and she doesn't know what she wants in the future. If the road is confused, how can it be possible to become a legend.
She has been a little irritable and silent these days.
"Don't think so much, you're fine now." Even though it's hard for outsiders to convince you to choose a path, I still couldn't help but talk nonsense.
My consolation gave Eliza a sudden shock, and just as she was about to say something, the bell of "Dang Dang Dang" rang, fireworks and bunting flags in the sky, the noise outside shook the sky, and the alliance officially started.
"Go in." Looking at the dungeon masters who started to enter the inner city, I also quickened my pace and let Annie go to the inner city for a meeting, but I really couldn't do it.
…
"I propose to form a coalition and completely wipe out the spies sent by the tailless monkeys on the ground." The Lion King's roar echoed in the hall, and those eyes were staring at me. of.
"Even the city lords are human heroes on the ground. They are on that side. Why should Brimstone City join the covenant? Are you planning to sneak in and be a spy? I propose to expel their people! Whoever dares to veto my proposal is a dragon. The enemy of the city." The threat of the dragon queen is very direct and effective, offending Longcheng is equal to offending all the dragons subordinate to Longcheng, which is a lot of trouble.
Sure enough, at the beginning of the meeting, before we had time to introduce us to the alliance, the Lion King and the Dragon Queen opened fire, but seeing this situation, I smiled happily.
"Then let it be the No. 1 proposal, all the city lords will vote." To the surprise of the Lion King and the others, Kaya and Elul not only did not block it, but directly regarded it as a proposal and asked for a vote.
Then, an even more surprising scene happened. In the hall of thousands of people, only a few hundred people raised their hands in favor of this proposal that could take effect by more than half.
"Well, Proposition 1 didn't pass."
At this point, if you don't know the situation is wrong, you are really stupid. The dragon queen and the lion king looked at each other with shock and disbelief.
Because the underground cities are often far apart, many of the alliance members themselves have deep hatred and hatred. The underground alliance is an extremely loose organization. Even the underground overlords dare not say that they have absolute control over their supporters. Those dungeon masters who have a good relationship also abstained, what the hell is going on!
They expected that Sulphur Mountain City would definitely try to win over other dungeon masters, but these dungeon masters were all arrogant and distant, so it was very difficult to buy them.
In addition, these days, they themselves have become street rats, and they have no time to go to Sulphur Mountain City. In a sense, the effect of throwing the scepter has also been achieved.
Elul nodded and continued.
"Then, the second proposal is jointly proposed by me and Kaya, accepting Brimstone Mountain City as a member of the Covenant, and giving it equal status with me, Kaya, Tao, and Lord Dragon Queen. Yes, we may have more A deputy leader."
As soon as this proposal came out, the entire hall immediately fell into chaos. The status of the underground overlord is not determined by the covenant, but if this proposal is passed in the alliance attended by all powerful dungeon masters, then Sulphur Mountain City and other underground overlords still have What is the difference? As for the deputy leader of the alliance, it is only the official statement of the overlord.
"This proposal is more important. According to the regulations, more than 80% of the members must not object. It is a secret ballot, please feel free to vote."
No one would think this bizarre proposal would pass, except me…
… I said to Kaya and Elul, "This proposal will definitely not pass, then, we will put forward the next-level resolution, and it will be passed. Do me a favor, we need a shocking appearance, In return, we will pay…”
"110 votes in favor,..." The Lion King and the Dragon Queen were all smiles when they heard the votes, and they looked at me with contempt in their eyes.
"...No votes 206..." "Impossible!!" It is natural that the number of affirmative votes is small, but the number of negative votes is surprisingly small, but it makes the Lion King jump up.
The lion king's eyes that seemed to eat people made the singer tremble.
"Mid... 3267 neutral votes and abstentions were accumulated, and the total number of participants was 3583. The resolution passed! Ahhh!"
The master of ceremonies who called the votes screamed and threw the result, and then crawled down.
The lion king grabbed the statistics and read it several times, and the black and white words were placed in front of him. In the end, he could only tear it to shreds with a sullen face.
"How did you do it?" Kaya came over and sighed like blue in her ear, but I pretended to smile mysteriously and didn't answer.
To put it bluntly, it's worthless. When other people thought I was fooling around, I really did a lot of business.
For example, as an old-fashioned lawyer who exploits legal loopholes and a legislator who fills loopholes, studying the regulations and rules of the underground covenant one by one...
"A major resolution can be passed without objection." It was established to avoid the fact that a covenant with many internal differences could never reach an agreement. When the underground overlords could not reach an agreement, this resolution would allow the dungeon masters to Most resolutions will eventually take effect.
But they ignore that sometimes, no objection does not mean approval...
It's hard to get dungeon masters to vote for it, but it's not impossible to get them not to disagree.
"The legal information is indeed missing a part, but if you can not object in our vote to join the covenant, we will hand it over to you after the meeting. Yes, no objection is enough, we just don't want to lose so ugly... "It's a threat...
"Ha, this is a gift from Brimstone Mountain City. Are your clothes damaged in the catastrophe? These leaves and rattan clothes are all made by the Druids of our Celestial Liberation Organization. All natural materials are guaranteed to be natural and in line with the teachings. Hehe, you don't need to pay, it's free. However, it's enough if you can help us when we vote in the covenant. You know, we are new here, and we don't know each other well. We're counting on you, big brother." This is a favor...
"Don't you think the current situation is not right? Now the four underground deputy leaders are half and half, and sooner or later they will fight to the death. Don't you think that you need a lubricant-like existence. He needs to be strong, but not too strong, it is best not to have Ambition..." This is reasonable...
The Lion King and the Dragon Queen were restrained by the scepter, which gave me the opportunity to ask for votes in a multi-pronged approach. When those dungeon masters voted with the feeling that "it takes 80% of the vote to pass, anyway, even if I abstain, he can't pass". , our success is already doomed.
"Congratulations, the new deputy leader."
Elul's congratulations contained malicious irony, ignoring the dark elf's highest priest who was already leaning on me, and the two underground overlords over there were already boiling with killing intent... The darker elf always laughed, the more ruthless he attacked, No one would like their authority to be diluted by others. At this time, no matter how good I said before, I have offended them all.
And most of the city lords look at us, and they are not so friendly. After all, I lied to them all, although I told the truth.
"However, this is what I want." I smiled contentedly, but all of a sudden I was watched by thousands of legendary powerhouses, and the two of them were very uncomfortable.
And most of the malicious eyes turned to Annie who was sitting in the middle. After all, she was the future lord of Sulphur Mountain City.
"I don't have time to wait for Annie to mature slowly. The greater the pressure, the faster the growth. From now on, this city will all be our enemies. Get through it! This is the test I give you."
"Roland! Come and help, we are in big trouble!! The camp was attacked by the undead monarch!!"
Suddenly, Xiaohong's voice recalled in the back of her mind that she actually initiated emergency contact, and the undead monarch who asked her to directly ask for help was at least the level of the Ciro consul.
"You won't be complacent for long." Moriel's sarcasm flashed in my mind, and then I figured it out.
"Using the auction right or the opportunity to observe, let the undead consuls reach an agreement and let them contribute to themselves? During the alliance, internal fighting is not allowed, but the undead monarch does not accept restrictions. Sure enough, the underground overlords should not be underestimated."
I got up and planned to leave for support, but the Dragon Queen blocked the door.
"Where are you going? The meeting isn't over yet, Mr. Deputy Leader. Leaving the meeting without authorization is not good for the entire covenant... Ah, what are you doing, boy!"
On the side, a dwarf boy is kicking the dragon queen desperately with his short legs, and it is strange that the little feet are not moving quickly, and the dragon queen can't escape! Every time it was brought to the knee.
"Bad man, dare to bully Dad, Adam beat you."
Inexplicably, I felt that the voice was familiar, but I couldn't laugh for a while, but at the same time, an inexplicable sense of ominousness popped into my heart, as if I was about to have bad luck.
"Guaranteed by my years of unfortunate experience, this feeling is coming, big trouble."
The dwarf boy raised his head, his face was full of pimples, his nose was running down to his chin, and he stared at me, and then smiled at me silly.
"Dad."
"...Adam!!" For a while, if it weren't for this familiar name, I couldn't associate the super-giant abomination stitching monster I made with the little dwarf in front of me...
But at this moment, a cool voice sounded behind his ears.
"...Even if you have an illegitimate child, you are still a dwarf, Master, your taste is beyond words. I can ask you what happened to the mother of this child? Is it always a mess? Master, you are too dirty already."
