cosmic catastrophe

Chapter 229
"Okay, for the sake of the treasure map of the true god's ruins, I'll help you. Come with me, let's go out of this city of Menzoberranzan first!" 54 decided to help John, with a big move, invisible war The air formed a big ball, enveloping John and the surrounding air, "Let's leave the river and save a little air use."

John nodded, signaling understanding.

54 Taking John with him, he left the city of Menzoberranzan from the river on the ground and set out for the city of Arlingdon.

Arlingden Stone City is divided into the inner city and the outer city, and the inner city becomes the main city, which includes the palace area, noble area, commercial area, arena, and military camp.The outer city is composed of a hundred towns, and the leader of each town has jurisdiction over hundreds of thousands to millions of gray dwarves.There are strict registration distinctions between the inner and outer cities. People in the inner city can freely go out to the outer city, but people in the outer city cannot enter and leave the inner city at will.In terms of geographical environment, although the inner city is surrounded by the outer city, the outer city is also the first front when fighting against the invading enemy, but the strong gray dwarves are almost all concentrated in the inner city.No reason, just because the environment of the inner city is much better than that of the outer city, and it is more prosperous.The lords of the inner city disdain to own land in the outer city.

John is the mayor of a town in the outer city, but because of his blood relationship, he got a town whose prosperity ranks very high among all the towns.The position of mayor is selected every ten years. Those who are qualified to challenge will challenge the mayor at the selection meeting. Once successful, they can become the new mayor.And if the mayor is missing, or dies, or is unable to perform his duties due to various reasons, the deputy mayor will take over temporarily.

"The town you are in is called Jinli Town, and your cousin is the deputy mayor?" Arlington Stone City is 54 kilometers west of Menzoberranzan City. 54 can't fly with John on his back, or suck him in from the air. , with only John running, [-] in the air.

"Yes, there are still more than 650 hourglasses left for the selection meeting once every 700 hourglasses, so during this time, my damn cousin will be the mayor!" John said angrily.

"I am a person who has long been forgotten. It is not so easy to go back to the Stone City of Arlingden, right?" The first question before 54 was how to get into the Stone City of Arlingden.

"There is only one gate in Arlington Stone City, but there are a hundred small gates under the gate. Everyone who wants to enter must pass through a magic mirror to prevent spies from using the transfiguration technique to sneak in." John is very familiar.

"Is that all?" 54 wanted to confirm further.

"Of course more than that!" John smiled and said again, "Warriors can change their shapes. Although it is not as perfect as Transfiguration, it can't be reflected by the magic mirror. Therefore, there are strong people near the city gate, and everyone who comes in can be sensed." Is there a shrinking shape."

"It's so good." The cultivation base of 54 is already at the highest level among mortals.It is impossible for Arlingden Stone City to arrange a peerless and extraordinary strong man under the gods to guard the gate. As long as it is not a strong man of the same level, it is impossible to sense that he has shrunk his body.

"Are there any strong people around your cousin that you need to pay special attention to?" Knowing yourself and the enemy is the key to fighting a hundred battles. After learning a lesson, 54 also became more cautious.

"Those of us who hang out in the outer city are all below the level of warlords, or not as high-level magicians. Therefore, there are no strong people around us." John detailed, "Only by becoming strong can we be qualified to enter the inner city." The city has acquired fiefdoms. When we are outside, we have to face all kinds of powerful enemies from outside. We all want to improve our strength so that we can enter the inner city."

"Listen to you, it seems that the outer city is very dangerous?" According to 54's memory, Arlington Stone City is indestructible. It is not that it has suffered major wars in history, but it is impossible to break through the largest city in the world. possible!Besides, being on the front line of border defense, it is absolutely impossible for the Outer City to have no strong men in command.

"Oh, I'm talking about what if." John's voice trailed off a little, "Of course there are strong men sitting in the outer city. However, those strong men are not under the control of us mayors. They just obey the orders of the inner city. Patrol the city. If we're in danger, they'll do it."

"So, how many strong people are there in Jinli Town?" 54 asked again.

"I don't know the details, at least there are one or two strong people." John didn't know the exact number, so he could only guess.

In the east, in a country with a population of one billion, there are only a hundred or so warlords.The population base of the Underdark region is smaller, but because of the precariousness and extreme chaos, the wind of advocating power is stronger than that of the surface world.This gray dwarf country has a population of more than 20 billion, and there are probably close to 400 strong people.There are two strong people in each township, but there are only 200 people, and there are nearly [-] people in the inner city.

At the end of the day, 54 also basically asked about the basic situation of Arlingden Stone City.They were only halfway through, and 54 didn't feel tired, but John needed a rest.

"We'll rest here for a quarter of an hourglass time." 54 stopped, pointing to a sunken ground, "There is a water source nearby, and there are only some ordinary aquatic fish in it, and there are no threats in the vicinity of ten kilometers. your creature."

"Thank you." 54 has no reason to lie to himself. If he wanted to kill himself, he would have done it long ago, and there is no need to ask him to do so.So John went to bed in peace.

In the middle of a drowsy sleep, John was suddenly awakened by 54: "Don't make any noise!"

John woke up and was about to yell, but 54 sealed his mouth with a fighting spirit, and a voice transmission came over: "The army of Kou Tao murlocs is passing by."

John almost cried out when he heard the news.

The two of them came out to look, and they saw green ridges protruding from the water in a row of three in the river not far away.From time to time, weapons were exposed, and after a while, pennants were also seen being raised.It is obvious that intelligent life is passing by. With such a formation in the water, it must be the Kou Tao Yuren.

"This river leads to the stone city of Arlington!" After taking the Kou Tao murloc army away, 54 regained his fighting spirit, and John said it immediately.

"You mean, are they going to attack Arlingdon Stone City?" Looking at the rolling river, he asked.

"This..." John was silent for a while, and said, "The four major intelligent races in our Underdark region attack each other, but they also trade with each other. It is relatively rare for such a large army to attack. These Kou Taos Murloc, I don’t know what you want to do? But, it’s not necessarily aimed at Arlingden Stone City, with just such a small army, it’s an act of death!”
