I Have A City In An Alternate World

2492 The Heaven’s Wall city (1)
The entrance of the Heaven’s Wall city was also guarded by soldiers, and there were many of them.

As long as one thought about it, they would know that the Heaven’s Wall city was actually a military fortress. Its natural geographical environment made it easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Even though it had become an ordinary city, it could still become a military fortress if needed.

Half of the ships in the lake were warships to prevent enemies from sneaking into the Heaven’s Wall city.

The position of the city gate was heavily guarded.

The battlements and muzzles of the arrows were densely packed on the stone wall above their heads. Taking advantage of their height advantage, they firmly blocked the passage into the Heaven’s Wall city.

“One man can hold out against ten thousand,” it was very appropriate here.

Tang Zhen was clearly able to sense that there were at least a few dozen gazes staring at the city gate. Their gazes were cautious and solemn.

On both sides of the city gate, far away from the bridge, there were mottled iron cages hanging, and there were skeletons inside.

 

They were prisoners who had committed capital crimes and were trapped to death in a cage. They were then put into the lake to feed the fish.
After the fish had eaten all the skin, flesh, and internal organs, the cage was raised again, and the bones were battered by the wind and rain.

If there were new prisoners, the process would be repeated, and it had not changed for many years.

One had to pay a fee to enter the city, which was very common in backward worlds. Although it seemed to be a small amount of money, it was an indispensable income to maintain the operation of the city.

Without Tang Zhen’s instructions, er Gou immediately took out a few small coins and threw them into the wooden plate beside him.

The soldier pulled the wooden handle that was already coated with pulp, and the tray immediately flipped over. The coins fell into the box below.

Tang Zhen took a glance and discovered that this was actually a special mechanism that could record the income and number of people entering the city.

The soldier waved his hand, signaling for the two to leave quickly.

Tang Zhen and ergou entered the Heaven’s Wall city and looked around.

The city, which was built in the middle of the mountain, wasn’t dark at all, because there were a lot of light-emitting plants.

In addition, there were also stone materials similar to fluorite, which were polished and placed on the streets.

But even so, it still gave people a feeling of being in the evening, as if thousands of lights were blooming in the dark.

Er Gou was not very knowledgeable. In the past, he had only heard of the name of the Heaven’s Wall city, but he knew nothing else.

Now that he had seen this Fairyland-like scene with his own eyes, the excitement in his heart could not be described with words. He kept sighing that he had lived in vain in the past.

Tang Zhen, on the other hand, had a calm expression. He had seen too many similar scenes. There were many places that were far better than this place.

“Your Excellency, where are we going?”

Er Gou’s eyes lit up as he spoke. Everywhere he looked was extremely fresh, especially the women who passed by. Er Gou couldn’t take his eyes off them.

Compared to the women outside, the women in the Heaven’s Wall city had extremely white skin, which added to their beauty.

Tang Zhen smiled. He did not expect that the natives here also regarded white as beauty. This point was very similar to his hometown.

I’ll fill my stomach first, then find the wise ones. At the same time, I’ll try to collect as many maps as possible.

In addition, he had to investigate the movements of the cultivators in Lou Cheng and figure out what they were up to. Of course, he didn’t have to tell ergou about this because he couldn’t help much.

“That’s great, I’ve been hungry for a long time.”

Er Gou said to Tang Zhen. He had been eating dry food and drinking cold water for the past two days. He couldn’t wait to eat a delicious and warm meal.

After entering the city gate, there was a large square. It was dozens of meters high, and the entrance to the next floor was every five meters.

There were many caves on each level, and each entrance was a Street. They extended into the mountain like ant nests.

There was a Billboard hanging at the entrance, telling people that the most famous shop was here. If they wanted to go there, they just had to follow the steps.

During the process, there would be people who would take the initiative to approach and ask if they needed a guide.

The internal affairs of the Heaven’s Wall city were complicated. Sometimes, even the locals would get lost, let alone the newcomers.

A tour guide came into being, and their business was quite good.

“It’s obvious that this is your first time in the Heaven’s Wall city. Please believe in my advice and find a tour guide so that you won’t waste your precious time.

I’ll definitely make you feel that it’s worth the money. Whether it’s food, clothing, housing, transportation, or buying things, I’ll give the most reasonable suggestions. I guarantee that you won’t spend a single cent in vain!”

Just like the other outsiders, Tang Zhen and ergou had just stepped onto the street of the second floor when they met the guide who was soliciting business.

Unlike the other tour guides, the one who stopped them was a little girl, who was dressed simply.

The other party was not very old, and might even be underage. He was wearing a loose robe that was tied a few times with a grass rope to ensure that the clothes would not fall off.

He was dragging a furry tail behind him and holding a light stick in his hand. He raised his head to look at Tang Zhen and tried his best to introduce himself.

Although he looked young and tender, he deliberately pretended to be mature, obviously not wanting to miss this business.

The corner of Tang Zhen’s mouth revealed a smile after sizing up the other party. He gently nodded.

“Sure, I’ve decided to hire you.”

“Ah, Yingluo, thank you. Thank you, Your Excellency!”

The little girl didn’t expect that Tang Zhen would choose her. She excitedly nodded her head and thanked him. After she came to her senses, she hurriedly maintained her demeanour so as not to let her employer feel that she was unprofessional.

Tang Zhen and ergou laughed when they saw his helpless look.

take us to dinner first, and then we’ll go to other places. This is your payment in advance.

As Tang Zhen spoke, he threw a gold coin into the little girl’s hand.

After seeing the gold coin in her hand, the little girl’s eyes widened. She wanted to scream, but she covered her mouth in time.

She repeatedly nodded to Tang Zhen. Her eyes were filled with an uncontrollable excitement. The happiness she felt caused her eyes to slightly narrow.

To the little girl, this was a huge sum of money, enough to buy a lot of food.

“Your Excellency, please follow me.”

After the little girl put away the gold coins, she immediately led the way and began to Jabber on and on.

“The most famous restaurant in tianxu city is naturally located on the 100th floor of the Lakeview Restaurant. The three floors above and below the street outside are where their families live.

The freshest ingredients were available there, and the best chefs were there. The environment was quiet and beautiful.

While eating, you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of singing and dancing, or take a hanging basket to enter the restaurant in the lake. I guarantee that you will return with satisfaction.

It’s just that the customers who go to Lakeview Restaurant are either rich or noble, and they must make a reservation in advance. If you two want to go, I’m afraid you’ll have to wait for a while.”

Tang Zhen shook his head, indicating that there was no need to go through so much trouble. He only needed to find a place that was similar.

“If that’s the case, I strongly recommend finger-sucking restaurant. It’s full of unique flavors, and you’ll never forget them after a taste.

You won’t regret it if you go there!”

it sounds good. If it’s not too far away, let’s go and try it.

The girl quickly nodded, indicating that it wasn’t far.

The three of them went up the stairs to the top floor and entered a cave. After walking for a while, they saw a device that looked like an elevator by the side of the road.

This thing was like a conveyor belt that kept running. As long as one paid a few coins, they could ride it to higher places.

The little girl took the initiative to hand over the money and let Tang Zhen and the other person stand on the one-meter wide platform. She also requested to hold the handrail.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, the platform began to move slowly and soon reached a higher level.

However, after reaching this floor, the platform suddenly stopped. It was clearly waiting for other passengers.

don’t worry, Sir. The platform will move very soon. Although we have to stop for a while on every floor, it’s still much faster than walking.

Tang Zhen nodded his head. He naturally knew that climbing the stairs was a waste of time. This was especially the case for Mountain City which was over a thousand meters high. Climbing up would probably end up with broken legs.
