The scale of Blackwater City is not huge. Standing on the shoulders of the fallen tree man's rotten roots (the crown of the tree), Gronn could almost take in the entire city at a glance. The most conspicuous building in the entire city is a giant stone tower standing tall in the center of the city. This stone tower is unimaginably high. Although the Blackwater Swamp is filled with thick fog and the ghost trees are towering, the surrounding city is much better. You can see several kilometers away, but even so, you still cannot see the top of the tower. . The entire stone tower is completely made of two-meter-square boulders. The diameter of the tower is visually over 300 meters. It is impossible to imagine this stone tower in a place where there are few patches of hard mud for hundreds of kilometers. How it was built. The surface of the stone tower is mottled and broken, covered with gray-green vines. Below the tower is a majestic base city, but it is dilapidated everywhere and full of vicissitudes of time. It is more like an ancient ruins than a castle.
Blackwater City has no city walls, and more than half of the area is covered with black swamps. Residents use mud boats with very smooth bottoms to glide on the swamps, making the place look like a water city. The city's architectural layout is extremely messy, with low and dilapidated wooden houses everywhere. Except for the towering stone tower, there are almost no buildings with more than three floors. Most of these buildings are built on swamps, relying on log supports inserted deep into the mud for support and fixation. Some wooden houses are built directly on big trees, and some simply have a big hole dug out in the middle of the tree trunk for living. space. Although the trees here have sparse branches and leaves and look half-dead, they are all very strong and tall, comparable to the famous Night Elf Tree of Life. Because the hard land area of Blackwater City is limited, these giant trees are also important to the entire city. Infrastructure part.
"There is no order, no dignitaries, and no law in Blackwater City. There is only power here, and only power is believed in. Power is truth, and power is justice. Power is wealth, power is possession, and power is everything..." Dragon Man The girl Bluetooth said in an almost prayer-like tone. She spoke very little along the way, but she still told Goron and the others some general stories about Blackwater City.
This swamp was originally just part of the Life Magic Laboratory. It is considered an experimental partition. The Life Laboratory simulates various harsh living environments, and the Blackwater Swamp is the place where swamp monsters are specially raised. After the death of His Majesty Darwin, the "Life Slave", the entire Life Laboratory fell into chaos. The Warcraft and Demons in the laboratory that were in a state of modulation and transformation were released and hybridized with wild species that were originally in a free-range state. Eat each other, evolve, and reproduce.
The Blackwater Swamp is at the outermost edge of the barrier. Over the past ten thousand years, explorers, adventurers and exiles have entered the Life Laboratory. Some of them are lucky or relatively strong, and can usually enter the swamp alive. There are much fewer super-order species in the mire than in other areas, and Hydra, the nine-headed monster snake that claims to have "god-killing poison" and "immortality", is more famous. In other words, the Blackwater Swamp is considered a relatively safe place compared to other environments in the outside world. At least there are no giant Titans walking around here, no hungry primitive Behemoths, and no synthetic beasts concocted by the Magic Emperor himself who can kill and devour these prehistoric species as prey.
Of course, these outsiders also have to face the dangerous monsters in the swamp. Although the monsters here are not as powerful as those outside the swamp, their numbers are terrifying. Dragon flies, black tiger fish, oracle mosquitoes, mire wolf spiders... . When the number of these low-level small-scale monsters reaches five digits, they can even hunt and prey on the giant dragons of wisdom. Their simple thinking mode makes them fearless. This kind of monsters are collectively called "legion monsters". In a sense, they are more dangerous than super-level monsters that like to live alone. So the survivors had to join forces and meet quantity with quantity. Use teamwork to deal with the bloodthirsty instincts of the legion of monsters.
Over time, the number of outsiders who were originally forced to stand together to fight against the enemy increased like a snowball. At this time, they discovered the ruins of a magic tower, which was left by the Magic Emperor Darwin. One of the magic laboratories. The core area of the laboratory is protected by numerous magic barriers. It is a place where even the gods in heaven are unwilling to set foot easily. Of course, these outsiders cannot explore its mysteries, but the supporting areas around the magic tower for the emperor's servants to live and live have become a good foundation for outsiders to build their homes. So outsiders settled here and built cities. Of course, in addition to survival, most of them have not forgotten their true mission, which is to thoroughly investigate and find out the secrets of this island (mainland) and find the supreme secret treasure hidden here by the head of the Magic Emperor.
Naturally, this magic stone tower has become the first choice for explorers. Although the magical wards here are powerful and deadly, trespassers rarely survive. However, the explorers who have made it this far are basically fierce men with both luck and ability. After these explorers have been exploring for thousands of years and spent countless lives and blood, the protective barrier of the stone tower has been captured layer by layer. To this day, there are already thousands of towers that have been successfully breached and explored.
"Then how is Blackwater City related to the Dragon of Time and Eternity?"
When hearing this question, the dragon girl was silent for a long time, and then she reluctantly said that this was also related to the Magic Stone Tower. As for the specific details, she did not want to say more.
In short, in this city full of brave legends and dirty sex, chaotic dreams and straightforward crimes, it is very likely that everything that Goron and his party are eager to find is hidden.
The fallen tree man Rogen took long strides forward in the mud river, and finally slowly came to rest on the edge of a simple wooden dock bridge. There are several similar docks in Blackwater City, and these wooden bridges and planks are as messy as spider webs. The dock and hard land are connected together. Goron and others jumped onto the plank road according to Bluetooth's instructions. Suddenly, a group of ragged, short and thin children rushed over and surrounded them. The races of this group of children are diverse, nearly half of them are humans, but there are also many such as dwarves, jackals, real lizardmen, and fishmen. Let me mention the lizardmen here. This race looks similar to the dragonmen to which Bluetooth belongs at first glance. They are very similar, and many people even cannot tell the difference between them at all. But generally speaking, there are many differences between the lizard people and the dragon people in terms of physique. Putting aside the various bad habits possessed by the dragon people in the Blade Tower Continent, the lizard people are not the same. After all, the Lizardmen are a completely weakened version of the Dragonmen. Not to mention that high-level dragons generally possess dragon wings, and thick-blooded dragons can even breathe dragon breath and cast low-level dragon language magic. But even so, dragon people are generally not as popular as lizard people on the Dota Continent, which cannot but be said to be an irony.
The dragon girl walked in the front, waved her hand to drive away the children who were too close, and shouted loudly: "These guys are all poor guys, they have nothing valuable. And they are very dangerous, don't come closer again!"
However, the warning effect of Bluetooth is obviously not very effective. Except for a few children who hesitated for a while and stopped crowding forward, the vast majority of the cubs still desperately rushed towards Goron and the others, watching them shine. With their eyes and fingers ready to move, it doesn’t take much thinking to guess what skills these children rely on to survive.
Seeing that Goron and the others were overwhelmed by the group of children, a strange look flashed in Bluetooth's eyes, and then the dragon girl pretended to be panicked and shouted: "These children just want to steal some food from you, or exchange it for food. Equipment, there is no harm, please don’t hurt them! Otherwise you will face crazy revenge from their parents!”
Don't these brats have any ill intentions? Is this really the case for ghosts...
These children were groping around on everyone's bodies. Goron's important items were all hidden in the tattoos, and he was not afraid of losing them. He originally didn't take these children seriously, but he suddenly discovered that these little devils actually He was tearing his clothes apart, and his technique was extremely skillful. When Goron reacted, he was already half-naked. The ogre boy is like this, and the other people will naturally not have it easy. Monica has already screamed in fright and anger. Not only that, Goron actually noticed that his arms and legs had been tied up at some point, and he also received several blows to the back of his head, like a few sap blows, and then there were tatters that gave off a strange smell. The cloth was blocked over his mouth and nose, and even with the body of a Gronn ogre, he felt dizzy. Presumably those who are less resistant to toxins have been knocked unconscious.
what is this? Kidnapped in public
Almost at the same time, a series of screams and cries of pain suddenly rang out from the group of children. Four translucent shadow giant wolves suddenly sprang out from the crowd surrounding Goron, and forcibly dispersed the group of children. The children who surrounded the brave man of the North, Kenan, were even more unlucky. They heard a lot of crying. The children who were groping about Kenan all raised their hands and cried loudly, and their palms were already covered with tears. A layer of solid ice covers the package.
The children on the dock dispersed in a hurry. Kenan looked normal. Although Gron suffered no damage, his clothes were messy, like a girl who had just been ravaged by a large group of rough men, and the image was very embarrassing. However, Goron was not the one who suffered the most misfortune. A few steps away, Marvin didn't know what kind of manipulation was done by the naughty children. At this time, he was lying naked on the ground, sleeping soundly.
"Where's Monica? Why is she missing?"
Gronn frowned and searched around, then stretched out his hand, and the four summoned shadow giants suddenly disappeared. The next moment, they appeared out of thin air two hundred meters away, flying silently, and quickly caught up with the one who had escaped the farthest. A group of children, after disrupting the crowd, took back the unconscious girl who was tied up...
