A team of "adventurers" who looked dusty and dusty stepped into the city at the foot of Changfeng Ridge - White Maple Leaf City.
Adventurers are a very common scene in this city—as the largest human gathering place in the plains, and also as the only foothold in front of the entrance and exit of the Changfengling Tunnel, White Maple Leaf City has always been a place where people from different places gather together. Anthropologists from the plains, sub-human merchants who came from the other end of the tunnel to do business with humans, adventurers (or mercenaries) from the Baishan area, and even reclusive warlocks and warlocks who ran out of the deep mountains and old forests of Changfengling. Druids, all kinds of passers-by shuttle back and forth in this city every day, looking for wealth or knowledge, and let wealth and knowledge flow in this ancient city day and night.
And thanks to them, even if strangely dressed aliens and bloody mercenaries roam the city swaggeringly, they will not appear too conspicuous: as long as these people are not here to cause trouble.
Therefore, Hao Ren and his party set foot on the streets of this city very smoothly, and successfully reduced their sense of existence by using the clothes of this world as a cover. Except for the identity check when entering the city gate, and relying on the spiritual magic of the little devil Elizabeth to get through, everything is in the plan.
After all, this is not the first time that Hao Ren and his small team have high skill points in "dressing up and mixing with the locals". "A group of travelers from other places", Nangong Wuyue and Vivienne even added a bit of dusty special effects makeup to everyone, and the performance effect was perfect-in fact, Lily was still there after discovering that she was dressed like a mercenary. He was planning to smear some blood on his face, but Hao Ren remonstrated and went back: After all, they were there to spy on information, not to assassinate the city lord...
"Wow—I feel that this is a good place after being there!" Walking on the streets of a foreign country, Lily didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Appearance in the city: No matter how many big scenes she has seen with Hao Ren, her nature as a husky still makes her look like this when she sees any new gadgets, and there is no way to treat it, " The liveliness here seems to be no worse than that of Holleta's capital, and it seems that the racial composition seems to be more complicated. Just now I seemed to see a slime jumping past! Hey, there are fruit sellers here... "
Lily's current attire looks like a female swordsman traveling north and south. She wears a studded leather armor that looks like she has gone through a lot of battles, and her lower body is dressed in leather pants + short boots. Her long silver hair is tied into a loose ponytail It was draped behind her head, and her ears stood energetically on top of her head, because the special effect of the pair of ice and fire claws was too eye-catching. At this time, she was carrying the giant alloy X10 sword that she had used in the historical journey back then. In all fairness, this sword is like a door panel, and even male warriors find it difficult to carry it, but werewolves have always been a race with astonishing physical fitness, and even women can charge into battle wielding huge and amazing weapons, so Lily appeared with this sword on her shoulder It doesn't look obtrusive in the city at all, and this is why Lily is dressed like this after confirming with a probe that there are female werewolves in the city carrying such a huge thing dangling outside.
In fact, everyone's clothing has been confirmed in advance: before landing, the probe was used to collect local images, and it was confirmed that at least two digits of people in the local area would wear certain clothing, and then judge these people through Nolan's data analysis Possible occupations and team combinations, and finally prepare action suits for Hao Ren and the others, so as to minimize the possibility of attracting attention.
However, as soon as Lily opened her mouth, Hao Ren realized that it was possible to be low-key in terms of clothing, but it was a problem for Lily's bluffing temper to reduce her sense of presence. Holding the giant X11 sword, she went to other people's stalls to pick fruit. Did she really not know that the thing she was carrying on her back could clear out a no-man's land with a radius of two meters wherever she went
"Be low-key, low-key—why delay her business if you don't buy it?" Hao Ren dragged Lily back with difficulty, "Let's take a stroll in the city now, just get acquainted with the customs of this place, Wei Wei An has released the little bats, what do you want to do at least wait for the little bats to open up the map?"
Although the reconnaissance probe can return quite a lot of information, Vivian's little bat is obviously better in terms of detailed operations - the latter belongs to Vivian's clone, and it can not only return real-time audio and video, but also 100% After spreading the little bats, Vivienne is like using thousands of avatars to scout the city at the same time. Although it is necessary to bypass some areas that are not convenient for scouting, her ability to open maps is still the best for the team. the strongest.
Vivienne is dressed as a female magician at this time, but it is not the cumbersome robes of the academic mages that are inconvenient to move, but a more slim-fitting short and middle robe with a walking stick: According to the information from the previous probe, only Mercenaries or spellcasters among adventurers would dress up like this, presumably for the convenience of action and combat in the wild, and those mages who occasionally see wearing robes and high hats are generally well-dressed, and they should be nestled in their own The mage tower doesn't need to go out in person.
Hearing Hao Ren's words, Vivienne nodded: "I have expanded the scope of investigation to a few blocks away, and I should be able to describe the entire city soon. Although it is lively here, the scale is not comparable to that on Earth. Those big cities, and there are many dark corners, are very suitable for little bats to operate."
Hao Ren nodded: "Did you notice anything special?"
"I haven't found it yet, it's just a very ordinary city in another world," Vivienne said in a low voice while pretending to look at the roadside scenery like other travelers, "but the closer the city is to the center, the more it will feel. Magic power or similar energy fluctuations, and their strength and level are much stronger than those in the outer areas. I speculate that it is not just the power fluctuations issued by stronger spellcasters, but also some facilities that rely on magic energy to operate. In addition, I When the little bat drilled into the sewer, it also found something similar to a sewage treatment station, which was also driven by magic."
"Is the technology tree developing normally... This world in the dark realm is really getting more and more interesting," Hao Ren smacked his lips, "Just now Nolan also sent a message from above, saying that she is in the mountain range next to the city I also saw large-scale facilities like antenna towers, with regular signals jumping between those facilities, suspected to be some kind of 'base station' of a long-distance communication network."
Lily's eyes widened: "Shocked! It looks like a medieval building, but it even has WIFI!?"
"The technology tree of each world point is different. Many races in the high-magic world began to study anti-gravity when digging stones to build houses, but sometimes they may not be able to toss fertilizer until they light up the space teleportation , That’s what the so-called diversity of the world and civilizations is all about.” Hao Ren shrugged with an expression of “I’m well-informed so I’m not surprised by anything”, then looked curiously towards the end of the street, “Hey What's going on over there, why is it so lively in front of that big house?"
As soon as Lili heard that there was something exciting to watch, she immediately became energetic: "Go and see, go and see!"
At the end of the street is a large building with a blue spire. The building is not small, but the decoration is not as luxurious and ostentatious as the noble mansions in the city center. It looks more like a functional public facility. By the time Hao Ren and his party arrived, more people had crowded around the building. Several floors of spectators had almost blocked the vestibule of the building. There were countless noisy voices from the crowd, some were discussing things, some Others are cursing when their tails or toes are stepped on. Hao Ren noticed that quite a few of the onlookers were dressed as mercenaries. The gathering of these aggressive and ruthless unstable elements made the whole scene even more chaotic.
He led a few friends around outside the circle of people before squeezing in a little (this is mainly due to Lily's giant alloy X13 sword and the face of Y'zaks), and he squeezed in. In the process, he finally figured out what the building was for:
Judging from the words of the people around and the occasional building signs, this place seems to be the place where mercenaries and adventurers are active. To put it bluntly, it is a trade union.
"The mercenary union," Lily said to Hao Ren beside her while lowering her head while holding the giant sword, "Although it feels tacky, it's somehow kind! Landlord, it seems that the first time we went to another world was in Huo Ren." Elleta registered a mercenary group, right?"
"Damn it, don't mention it," Hao Ren's brow broke out in cold sweat when he heard this, "This is the first time in my life that I traveled to another world to form a mercenary team. Tell me about such a domineering protagonist plot, what is the last one we registered for?" Fame!"
"The dog has a good name, what's wrong with this name!" Lily said with a look of reason, "Why, landlord, do you look down on dogs?"
Hao Ren: "..."
The fact that the two of them squeezed in so roughly caused dissatisfaction among a large circle of people, but even in the mercenary circle, there are still a few bullies like Lily who carry a huge door-panel sword and hang around like a feather , In addition, there is Yizaks who looks like a half-blood giant standing there with a ferocious face, and a group of ordinary mercenaries (?) Dare to be angry but dare not speak out, so in the end Hao Ren and his party actually squeezed into a front seat.
But there was still a layer of people blocking the front, and Hao Ren couldn't see what was happening at the door, so he could only ask the people beside him, "Wait a minute—what's going on here?"
The one he asked was a red-haired female mercenary. This red-haired woman with cool clothes but a scar on her face was a little upset after being pushed away. At this moment, Hao Ren patted her on the shoulder. He turned his head and glared at Lily—then saw the giant sword on Lily's shoulder, his expression instantly changed to "Fuck, this is so fucking awesome", and he swallowed the swearing words that were on his lips. She just opened her mouth with a weird expression: "That crazy female magician named Leah is calling white mice to accompany her to go crazy again, but the union has already blacklisted her, and the mercenaries who take private jobs outside No one was willing to take her task, so they started making trouble like this. Tsk tsk, tossing around like this every now and then, it's okay as a joke."
Hao Ren pretended to understand while listening, yes, of course he didn't know Leah, but he could still hear that this was just an ordinary civil dispute, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. : He thought that the news of the end of the world broke out somewhere, and this could be somewhat related to the "Dark Realm"...
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard another loud noise from the people in front, and then the door of the mercenary union was "slammed" open, and a short girl was thrown from inside. Throw it out.
