through the dark road

Chapter 294 Array Tower
Most of the houses here are of wooden structure, the roofs are covered with thick reeds or wormwood, but the walls look very transparent, and some are even like simple awnings.

These houses are built around a stone platform, based on wooden piles driven into the bottom of the river.Canoes or boats are also docked next to many houses as a means of transportation for travel.

The three of them passed one platform after another and walked towards the central area of ​​the city. They felt that it was really inconvenient to walk around here. There were various ways to connect the platforms, and there were always twists and turns.

When they just came out of the teleportation station, they saw a ball of fire dancing in the air amidst the hazy rain curtain. When they got closer, they realized that it was a huge pyramid-shaped building, and the fire light was on the top of the tower. The stone pavilion above is burning like a beacon, telling everyone where the center of the city is.

The pyramid is divided into five levels, at least [-] feet high, looks simple and heavy, quite magnificent.

The three of them came all the way to the bottom of the pyramid, and then looked at a tall, bald man with some doubts, holding a metal long staff with a fan-shaped head, slowly walking down the stone steps of the pyramid.

It's just that this kind of slowness seems a bit weird in this rainy day.

Mo Bei looked up at the sky, thinking that it was not a thunderstorm. . .

Instinctively, he didn't want to talk to this strange man, but when the bald man was about to go down to the ground, he still took a few steps forward, bowed and said:
"This is Elder Ormas? My name is Mo Bei, and they are my teammates, Milor, and Perona. Greetings to you!"

Only then did he realize that this person was a full head taller than himself, nearly two meters tall, with a darker complexion, naked to the waist, but with a big red collar hanging on his shoulders.

And the long staff was much taller than him, and the head of the staff was actually a strangely shaped human head with a fan-shaped headdress, which looked quite heavy.

Although it looks very different, like those ordinary residents, they let the rain hit their bodies and flow down their brown skin.

Anyway, the whole person is very strange up and down.

"Yes, you are speaking with Ormas, and he is glad to see you here."

The bald man replied in a low voice with no expression on his face.

"...He?" Mo Bei felt a little confused.

"It is Ormas, he has already heard about your deeds from Elder Kane, brave adventurers."

The bald man's expression and tone remained unchanged, and he spoke again.

Mo Beiji tried his best not to show a strange expression, but complained in his heart.

A schizophrenic who has not been more than ten years old shouldn't talk like this, right?

Don't you plan to cure it?

I've seen someone bring salt to me, and I've seen someone call me crazy, but I've never seen someone narrate me.

And you don't look very happy no matter what you look like. . .

He strongly wanted to end this conversation quickly, so he asked directly:
"Then, where is Elder Kane now?"

"You should be able to find the learned wise man there."

Ormas slowly raised his hand and pointed the eyes of the three to a stone building complex as simple as the pyramid, which was obviously a product of the same era.

After receiving the guidance, the three of them thanked each other, bowed again, and walked towards the building complex.

And Ormas stood motionless in the rain, like a sculpture, causing the three of them who turned their heads to see this scene to look at each other again.

In the center of the stone building complex is a temple-like building supported only by a circle of tall stone pillars. In the era when the Zakarum teaching was extremely popular, such buildings were almost everywhere, but now they have lost the originality given by their construction. significance.

Kane was sitting on a stone bench with several people, as if they were discussing something, but they seemed to be in a situation where they couldn't do anything, and everyone seemed a little silent.

After noticing the arrival of the three of Mo Bei, he waved to them.

Seeing this, the rest of them also stood up, ready to end their conversation and leave first.

A woman with a strong figure and shoulder-length brown short hair looked at the three of them, and then said to Mo Bei:
"Your Excellency is the new Grand Duke of Lugoin, right? You are so young. I am Asila, and I am in charge of the Iron Wolves of Kurast. I belong to Emperor Hakan. On behalf of the Kingdom of Kejistan, I welcome you all." s arrival!"

"Hi, Senior Asila, you can just treat me as Teacher Kasha's student here."

Mo Bei responded humbly, looking straight at the other party without daring to move.

Because the other party was not only extremely proud of his figure, but also dressed so frugally that he almost only covered the key parts, which inevitably made him feel a little embarrassed.

But the aura exuded by the leader of the Iron Wolf Guards was as sharp as a formation of steel knives, so even though the style of clothing was unusually unrestrained, it was hard for people to have any dirty thoughts.

When Asila heard this, a smile appeared on her originally stern face.

If Mo Bei talked to her as the Grand Duke led by Lu Gaoyin, she would have to treat her with respect.But Mo Bei called himself a junior, which made her feel much more comfortable.

She didn't say anything else, she nodded to Mo Bei again, and then walked away ahead of the others, showing her vigorous and resolute personality.

As for the other few people, they either greeted Mo Bei politely, or they didn't show anything at all.

After all, the three of Mo Bei are just job transfers who just came from Lu Gaoyin. Although their identities are relatively special, for these preoccupied people, they really don't have much thought to be too polite right now.

"When did you arrive? Have you settled down yet?" Kane put away the sadness on his face and asked the three of them.

He teleported here seven or eight days ago, which made Drognan very depressed. He could only stop his breeding work and return to work in the Mage Guild honestly.

"I just arrived, and then I came over directly. Are they the managers of this city?"

Mo Bei pointed to the distant backs of those people and asked.

"Well, yes, they have always been responsible for the defense of Kurast Harbor and the supply of various materials." Kane nodded.

"Then, what about Elder Ormas? Why is he out in the rain alone?"

"Oh, you've already seen him." Kane chuckled and continued:

"Speaking of which, he is the real guardian of the city, controlling the operation of the formation tower. And that formation tower is the strongest means of defense for the main part of the entire city."

"Array? That's the one..." Mo Bei drew a triangle with his hand as he spoke, feeling very curious, not knowing how the pyramid was defended.

And at this time, he also respected that weird Ormas, and had a completely different understanding.

Being a guardian is not something that makes people excited. Not everyone can bear the silence and pressure of watching around the clock.

Mo Bei was ashamed of his previous slander.

Eighty percent of people's schizophrenia is caused by work-related injuries. .

"That's right, Hera Tieli and many people worked together to build a powerful magic circle inside the formation tower, which can deploy an isolation barrier in a critical moment, allowing other job transferees time to mobilize defenses, which is comparable to the strongest The walls of the city are much more effective." Kane explained, and then said with a look of worry:

"It's a pity that the power of this magic circle is also rapidly depleting, and it won't last long..."
