Chaos has always been the theme of the abyss, but no matter how chaotic an area is, there is always a relatively safe place.
The Ash Furnace is a city located on the 100th floor of the abyss in the Ash Plain, and it is also the only way for plane travelers.
It's a land of giants...
The huge metal roof beams can't see the ceiling, and the endless giant's house covers half of the plane. Looking around, it is full of distorted gray and black metal sky, coupled with the perennial thick smoke and metal percussion, The whole city is like a huge melting pot.
Some people say that this is the relics of Titans, but this house is too big for Titans to live in. Some people say that this is part of the Mechanical Plane, but they cannot explain why the Mechanical Realm of the Land of Pure Order appears in the abyss.
How many residents are there? I'm afraid no one can answer.
The city has no city walls and borders, and it is not necessary. It only enters from an extension of the city. If you want to go out with your feet, the short-lived species must plan to die here.
The city is said to be divided into thousands of areas, and each area is no smaller than the human kingdom. Each area has its own rules and main races. Sometimes, a metal shed is the capital of a small race. .
There is no abyss lord here, but there are black bosses sent by countless forces. There are no laws and rules here, but there are very few weak adventurers who step into it. They can go to the depths of the abyss and have proved their strength with facts. .
This is a paradise for adventurers, countless plane travelers gather in the river of the abyss, and countless adventures are waiting for them.
Of course, Lady Doom is always more diligent than Lady Luck, and every year countless newcomers disappear into the sewers and sewers of this gigantic city.
And today, just like in the past, it welcomes new adventurers...
"The 100th floor of the abyss, the Dragon Tail Bar in the eleventh district, it should be coming soon..."
After killing the third local hooligan who pretended to be a warmhearted person, and before Xiaohong lost her patience and killed the thirteenth kidnapper, I felt like I had almost found my way... By the way, isn't she a young girl, why are there so many gentlemen these days .
No, a real gentleman should just watch from a distance. Those who dare to reach out are not worthy of the reputation of a gentleman. They deserve to be kicked off by Xiaohong!
"Although I don't know why you suddenly look proud, let me remind you that this is the fifth time you have said you have found a way, and the first four have caused trouble."
Heloise yawned.
The first time I walked into the territory of the dark elf gang, the second time I walked into the lair of the frost giants, and the third time I broke into the illegal gathering and sacrifice venue of the cultists... Isn't this only three times
"Have you forgotten the group of Paladins? Look at their nervousness. If you hadn't cast the Holy Light in time, they would have killed you."
Speaking of this, I remembered it. It was an adventure to see a squadron of Paladins in the abyss, but they seemed to be a little too nervous. I drew my sword and slashed people as soon as I got close. Bar.
And even if I revealed my identity as a paladin, they still had no plans to get close, and those vigilant eyes were a bit surprising.
After all, no matter whether the service is the god or the pure belief in the Holy Light, the relationship between the Paladins is not bad due to the mutual understanding and respect of the devout believers... We can communicate with each other about the hard life of poverty and no girls. Friends who complain about why they chose the wrong profession back then can easily spark inexplicable sparks.
"It's nothing more than an order from a certain god, sending more than 30 paladins above the silver rank at one time, as well as one demigod rank and two epics, it's really a big deal..."
The holy emblems on the armor and weapons of the paladins have been erased, which means that they are not only dead men performing high-risk missions, but also unknown people who are not recognized and unclaimed after death. For the knight profession of life, at least it shows that they regard the success or failure of the task above everything else, above their own life and glory.
I'm a little curious, what would make a group of Paladins abandon everything to die in the abyss, um, just curious, but I didn't intend to cause trouble. I didn't see the clone of Heloise sneaking past.
"Any news?"
"No, the group of paladins are not as cautious as paladins, and they didn't say anything. But looking at the way they keep looking, they are looking for something."
In a chaotic city, strength is the only pass, and I am not in a hurry to join Adam and the others, because according to the timetable, most of them are still on the road, and it is still very interesting to visit this chaotic city where multi-racial cultures are mixed. interesting.
But our leisure time was interrupted again by a scream.
"Ouch!"
Looking back, a furry guy was rolling on the ground, but Xiaohong kept kicking it with his little feet.
"... Fourteenth? Sounds like a werewolf. Mmmm. A few more kicks and it's probably a pig-headed man."
"Sixteen, and just now, an ogre and a mad war demon were kicked and their lower limbs were broken."
Looking at the increasingly angry dragon girl, I shook my head helplessly. If Xiaohong chose an incarnation of an elf or an orc, it would be better to say that a human girl with thin skin and tender flesh is a rare commodity in the abyss.
It’s true that the form of childhood is very against the sky, but the young human girl is only wearing a rag and walks silently behind a man, looking like a little slave who follows a slave trader on the road.
It's not that I have any bad taste! It's just a huge change in body shape, and the clothes originally reserved can't be worn. In order to avoid the possible encounter with the devil king, we traveled all the way, and didn't have time to find a place to buy children's clothes. Xiaohong is still wrapped in that rag in...
Ever since she entered this city, facing the gazes of many other races, Xiaohong kept her head down and followed me slowly without saying a word. She looked like a timid and weak girl, which attracted the attention of the traffickers even more.
In fact, I walked slowly because I had to hold down the rags, and when faced with a gust of wind, it disappeared in a vacuum. I lowered my head and didn’t speak because I was already angry and tried to suppress my dragon’s might. With the dragon's eyes full of flames, it is possible to spray light beams (mouths) at any time... For my personal safety, I'd better stay away.
"You're taking revenge. I don't believe it's such a coincidence. I didn't encounter a tailor shop along the way. Also, I happened to burn all the spare clothes during the fight."
"That's right, it's revenge, who told her to actually try to make me fall into the situation of being laughed at..."
After that day, in order to fight for the right to become an "adult", we went through a difficult "war" and "peace talks", and finally ended up with "All the food is in my space bag, you are going to starve to death in flat dragon form. Is it? That's the shame of the mother dragon." As the killer, I won the victory, but if I don't find a chance to take revenge, how can I feel at ease.
"Actually, she can completely transform into a young dragon form..."
I was shocked and hurriedly stopped Heloise from speaking in the soul connection.
"Don't say it."
"...I know, she is already at a critical point now. If she knew that her grievances along the way were unnecessary, and most of them were trapped by you, it would definitely explode."
I shook my head, that's not what I thought, Xiaohong has a character that is easy to get into the horns.
"Wait until the Dragon Tail Tavern and tell her again, it will be dramatic!"
The dead cat was stunned, and then shook his head helplessly, too lazy to participate in the boring confrontation at the elementary school level.
I didn't take the initiative to ask for directions, because revealing my destination to the residents here is obviously not a very sensible act. I have been to the Dragon Tail Tavern twice, and I should be able to find it if I search more.
"Are you sure you're not planning to make a little more of Xiaohong?"
"It's just by the way. It won't take long. The news here spreads very quickly, and soon there will be no more fools to die."
"…Does the news spread fast?"
Heloise nodded thoughtfully without asking, but she seemed to have seen my purpose.
There is a lot of traffic in the tavern. Many intelligence dealers and illegal businessmen are stationed in large taverns and bars. We chose that place as the meeting point because the source of information is convenient and fast. If you are lucky enough, you will be familiar with the information before The dealer can still use it.
As a senior adventurer, intelligence is life, especially in unfamiliar and hostile environments.
If Adam and the others came early, they would definitely gather intelligence and buy eyeliner in advance. Our physical characteristics have not changed, then we will go all the way into the city, and they will naturally receive news, and it is so complicated, just to...
"Use yourself as bait to fish..."
Yes, we are in the light, Adam is in the dark, and we enter the city separately. Those who are not familiar with us don’t even know that we are a group. It is a pity to give up this natural advantage.
If there are any trackers behind us, or if there is a strong enemy who has been waiting here for us for a long time, as long as someone is sent to follow us, it will naturally be exposed.
For example, the devil king, the devil lord, the undead emperor, the evil god of chaos who have offended the devil before... I counted the opponents I might encounter, and I sighed that I really have a wide range of friends. This is a wise choice.
If the opportunity is right, Adam can also work part-time as the assassin behind the shadowy man.
"If they didn't come? Or are you just jittery and we don't have enemies at all?"
"Then treat it as an entertainment for Xiaohong. It's fun, isn't it?"
As far as the eyes can reach, Xiaohong seems to finally be enlightened, and starts to take off the werewolf's armor, but just close to smell, wrinkled her little nose, without hesitation, volleyed vigorously, kicking the orc's smelly armor God.
At the same time, Heloise smiled strangely. The scene in those pupils has been divided into hundreds of parts, which is the perspective of the clone left along the way.
The "camera" we left along the way worked. The cat that seemed to be dozing off was actually observing the city. At this time, one of the sights aroused the interest of Heloise.
"Roland, you're not really nervous this time, but it's probably thanks to your good luck that the whale was caught by fishing."
