She Is Not a Witch

The sky gradually darkened, dark blue and almost purple, very different.

Lorraine Hill walked onto the deck amidst the sound of the dragon boat's oars turning, overlooking the stretching and majestic mountains ahead.

Like two giant pythons with dark green bodies, they meandered on the ground, with the black high and low peaks on their backs.

The hillside stretches for thousands of meters, and the gullies are clearly outlined, with weathered fine stones on the edges, and only a few plants grow in the cracks, struggling to survive.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the sails and oars at the waist of the dragon boat also made creaking noises. They adjusted the direction of the dragon boat while turning, so as to avoid the towering mountain peaks and sail in from the side of the clouds.

Passing through the thin clouds, the black and green mountains and rivers below became clearer and clearer.

Finally, after crossing the high mountain ridge, a wide and deep canyon appeared below the dragon boat, and there was also a hot scene in this canyon.

The huge cracked abyss is in the canyon, and surrounding the abyss are solid walls and fortresses made of local black stones, with black flags flying above them.

Looking down from the edge of the abyss, there are layers of dense buildings, including palaces and pavilions, as well as market shops, among which there are many figures and various voices.

Close to the upper edge are the residences of various large chambers of commerce, as well as fences for parking birds and animals. Down below are various well-known shops and offices, and further down are palaces and terraces where the rich gather. A lively market, a place where various residents live together.

The huge abyss is like a barrel, and these buildings are built layer by layer along the inside of the barrel.

Standing on the dragon boat and looking down, you can see the general situation of hundreds of floors below, but if you continue to go down, you can't see clearly because of the lake.

In such a huge black and dark canyon, this huge city is like a beehive. From time to time, pedestrians riding giant dragons and monsters come and go. The layers of lights inside, orange and yellow like stars, are noisy and hazy, making the lonely night Embellishment, become lively and rich flavor of the crowd.

Although Xuanyuanzhou's environment is dangerous, the place where the abyss is located is extremely prosperous, and a large number of people have gathered, making this originally terrifying abyss land soft and noisy.

Towards the location of the abyss, the dragon boat tilted slightly, and then gradually lowered its height. As it got closer to the prosperous giant city in front of it, the scene in the giant city became vivid.

…

"See Youcheng~"

With a long shout coming from the front of the dragon boat, the hull trembled slightly, and then quietly landed on the berth on the edge of the abyss.

Soon, a ladder was lowered beside the deck, and the disciples in the dragon boat also walked down the ladder.

When Lorraine Hill and the others got off the dragon boat, there was already a group of people in special clothes waiting in front of them.

"Your Highness, those people are disciples of Jianyou City." A disciple of Fenxiang Guanxing Mansion next to him said to Lorraine Hill.

"Well, I see."

Lorraine Hill nodded, and looked at the disciples of Youcheng who were wearing black and white uniforms. Most of them practiced the Necromancer Sequence, and a few of them were the Angel Sequence. Fluttering, extraordinary temperament. …

Seeing Lorraine Hill coming with the crowd, these hundreds of people first bowed and saluted, and then spoke words of welcome.

"Welcome to His Royal Highness Lorraine—" the voices were unanimous and unified.

Afterwards, the three leading members stepped forward to lead the way for Lorraine Hill and his party.

"Please follow this way." Lead a group of people to the entrance on the side, where there are large stone steps going down, if you look at the handrail on the edge, you can even barely see the bottom of the abyss.

Walking on the way to the stairs, the three of them also started talking.

"I learned that Master Luolan is about to visit Youcheng, and my party is not far away to welcome you. Please forgive me, sir."

"It's okay." Lorraine Hill shook his head, slightly surprised by their respectful attitude.

Afterwards, these people spoke some more words, seeing that Lorraine Hill was not very interested, so they gradually stopped talking.

The busy streets along the way had long been cleared, and there was a Jianyoucheng disciple standing every ten meters on both sides, until the group came to the Tagujianyoucheng station on the first floor.

After walking in, Lorraine Hill asked the disciples of the Observatory of Stars beside him to rest for a while, and then brought a few people into the main hall to meet the current master of Youcheng.

Surprisingly, there are now two people in charge of Ta Gu Jian You Cheng. They are a pair of brother and sister, similar in appearance, but different in height and temperament.

"Master Luolan is good, I'm going to be tortured."

"My name is You Xing." The junior sister on the other side said.

Everyone sat down together, and then gradually began to talk, seeing that the side of Youcheng also gradually knew the purpose of this Canary Witch.

"It turns out that Lord Loland wanted to inspect the situation at the bottom of the abyss. It's okay, but after the vortex disappeared decades ago, many measures and formations were useless, so they stopped. "

…

"Why are there so many people gathered around the abyss? This question is more complicated. Please listen to me patiently, Your Highness."

It turns out that in the earliest days, the nature of this city was similar to that of Tiger Roaring Nine Barrens. After Wufeng sealed the chaotic vortex here, he needed a group of people to guard it to prevent damage, so he called in some good disciples. And taught some skills.

"In the first few years, this place in the abyss was extremely desolate, and even birds were extremely rare."

"Then what changed later?" Lorraine Hill asked.

"This has to do with the special environment here."

This place is near the chaotic vortex, which is very dangerous, because there are often dark winds blowing from the bottom of the abyss, corroding the soul and body, but also because of this special dark wind infection, a special ore will be produced on the surrounding rock walls. This kind of ore is used as a material to refine the elixir, which will increase the strength of the soul a little, which is very good for practice.

"At first, I sent my disciples to dig some to fill the consumption and expenditure of the faction, but soon found that there was a shortage of manpower."

After all, it was an extraordinary faction formed because of the sequence of practice. At that time, the number of people was only a few thousand. In front of this huge abyss a thousand meters deep, it was very small. Even if the ore was dug, it would not be able to match the amount generated.

"So I started to recruit some people to do this, and gradually let the outside world know the situation in the abyss, so more people rushed over."…

Like a gold rush in another world, more and more people flock to the abyss that seals the vortex. In order to provide for these people's lives, various caravans and chambers of commerce also bring a lot of supplies to and from this abyss and the outside world. The road in the city was gradually leveled, and there was an endless flow of carriages and pedestrians on the road.

However, mortals are mortals after all, and they are very fragile in the face of this corrosive wind. If they stay for a long time, they will suffer from various diseases, and they will become strange shapes, like evil spirits.

"For this reason, my faction had to restrict the entry and exit of personnel, but unfortunately the effect was not good." The pair of brothers and sisters on the opposite side shook their heads, talking about the past events recorded in the faction.

Many people tied thick ropes, climbed on this steep mountain wall, and kept digging, but there were always some people who could not withstand the erosion of the wind, fell into the abyss, or died quietly while digging, and only a skeleton was hung up in the end.

A large number of people died in this abyss, and the chaotic and turbulent magic power mixed with all kinds of resentful and unwilling souls, and many special ghosts were born.

"Those ghosts are like blue and cold fire, wandering in this abyss non-stop, and thicker and thicker bones are piled up at the bottom of the abyss. People, don't get close to it easily."

"It's just that compared with death, poverty may be a more terrible thing. There are still people coming from all over the place, just to make a fortune here."

Gradually, with the passage of time, the layers of stairs leading to the bottom of the abyss were opened up, and some chambers of commerce or organizations also dug huge caves in the steep rock walls in order to stay here, and laid them out. Formation, to build a special mansion, to resist the erosion of the wind.

As a result, there are more and more buildings in this abyss, and the living population continues to rise.

The people who came here for the rare "Ghost Stone" gradually settled down here. At the same time, in order to resist the erosion of this evil wind, the residents in the bottom of the abyss also communicated frequently, and had a close encounter with the local faction. City' constantly interacting, many of them learned methods and skills of self-defense from 'Treading the Bone and Seeing You City', and many descendants of people came to this place as the only door-to-door.

With the passage of time, most of the disciples of the "Treading the Bone to See Youcheng" faction are descendants of the local permanent residents, and it has become more difficult to expel these people who come here from all directions to mine for money.

In order to live a better life, under the mutual urging and driving of various factors, the ethos in this 'Treading the Bone to See You City' is very open-minded, not as traditional and conservative as other door-to-doors, and they will tirelessly study new spells Such a good academic environment has also attracted many people, and even established a famous academy under the abyss, named 'Wangyou Academy'.

When the Western Continent was full of hundreds of countries and full of wars, many people traveled eastward to the Plantagenet Dynasty, some scattered into the local area, and some were attracted by the reputation of the secluded city and came to live here, so here is also It is rare in the Eastern Continent, where Westerners of all ethnic groups gather.

Along the way, Lorraine Hill saw many residents with animal ears and horns. They wore plain or luxurious oriental clothes and spoke without any accent, just like the oriental residents. There were also a few with pointed ears. The elves, who run a jewelry store, wear light gauze dresses with a very special style. …

Although the erosion of the evil wind brought by the chaotic vortex will be dangerous, the concentration of mana in the local area is also extremely high. As long as you can persist in resisting, it will naturally be faster to practice than other places, which is why many people move from thousands of miles here. s reason.

…

"I see." After hearing this, Lorraine Hill nodded, but continued to ask curiously.

"Then more than 20 years ago, after the world changed, the chaotic vortex here disappeared. Why did it still maintain so many permanent population?"

"Indeed, the world was overturned and changed at that time, and this place was no exception. After the chaos vortex disappeared, the 'Shadow Soul Stone' no longer increased, and many people gradually left, and this place gradually withered for a while."

"But fortunately, things have taken a new turn."

"After the chaotic vortex disappeared, the originally inaccessible depths of the ground gradually opened up, and a dark river in the ground was discovered by our faction."

"The water in the dark river is extremely cold, and along the banks of the underground dark river, there are ores with a faint blue luster, and some blood-red exotic flowers grow."

"As a result, there are many people looking for opportunities here, but with these hundreds of years of experience, my faction has not completely opened this underground river to the outside world, but only sent a few people to explore it first, and gradually let people go after it is safe. go down."

"The banks of the dark river are extremely spacious, and the space can even accommodate two Jianyou cities. After more than ten years of research, we found that the banks of the river are very suitable for growing some special herbs."

"So it changed from the previous mining to the current planting?" Lorraine Hill couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, feeling the changes in this world.

"That's true, but I feel a lot of luck. After all, our generation was born in this land of the abyss since childhood. It is very different from the outside world. If we leave here, we will feel a little uncomfortable."

Being able to keep the prosperity of Jianyou City as much as possible, the disciples of this big sect are already fortunate, and they no longer expect anything else. For them, the world outside the abyss is a kind of life pattern and habits that are very different. The place does not have much influence on the outside world, especially in today's chaotic period.

When faced with King Dai's solicitation, the disciples in Youcheng were indifferent when they saw him, and they didn't want to follow this King Dai to the four directions.

Although the people who came here in the early days were all looking for money, and their personalities were quick and restless, but the changes in the settlement and living habits of generations have become stable again. Lorraine Hill sees these disciples who have seen Youcheng through their bones, but it is not easy. I don't see any people who are eager for quick success. Most of them have a stable expression and few words and quietness. They seem to be very adapted to this quiet underground life, and they have a feeling of 'paradise'.

In other words, Xuanyuan Continent, except for this giant city, is all barren mountains and valleys, which are not suitable for human habitation, and no one is prying, isolating the world and forming a whole. Xanadu'.

In the past, food still needed to be transported from the outside~www.readwn.com~ But since the discovery of the special underground environment, some food can also be grown by the dark river, and the dependence on the outside world has become smaller and smaller.

"I see. If there are no accidents in the future, I will not bother you on purpose." Lorraine Hill nodded, making a promise about the future.

Although this sentence may seem plain, it sounds very different to the ears of these disciples of "Treading the bones to see the secluded city".

This seemingly young girl's highness is the future "Phoenix", the co-lord of the world. The meaning of her promise is far more than that. With such a sentence, even if other organizations and forces want to get involved The resources and interests in the city also need to think twice.

So everyone stood up to express their gratitude.

Lorraine Hill sat on a chair in the main hall and waved his hands lightly, so that they don't have to be so polite, and finally asked about another purpose for today.

"Do you know the 'goddess' or 'witch' who was imprisoned at the bottom of the abyss hundreds of years ago?" Although her perception is strong, she can't go deep underground, so it is simple and appropriate to ask directly.
