Warlord: King of All Clans

The whole city is roughly divided into three parts. The first level is the trade area. In addition to the commercial streets branching out from the avenue, there are also open-air markets built on the edge of the cliff, dome auction houses, and Denise even saw a large theater.

Of course, statues, viewing platforms and rest areas of various ethnic styles are also indispensable.

As they walked along, they could recall the past when all races gathered here and people were shoulder to shoulder, and half of the wealth of the Morning Light Continent flowed here.

The second layer is the residential area, which is separated from the trade area by a height difference of dozens of meters. Stone stairs and various brick and stone courtyards, wooden attics, stone houses and tree houses begin to appear here.

They are hidden among lush trees, but unfortunately they are very old and most of them are dilapidated.

The third floor is the Elf Palace located on the top high ground.

This high ground is a small fault on the magnificent barrier, with a drop of nearly 500 meters to the Moon Lake at the bottom. Moon Lake is the starting point of the Grand Canyon, hundreds of meters higher than the endless Wolf-Driving Plain.

Therefore, the location of the elven palace is actually higher in the sky than it appears when viewed from below.

The adventure group toured the residential area and as it was getting dark, they decided to camp here.

Leo looked at the empty city with some regret, and said: "It's a pity that so many buildings are not inhabited. Look, if we don't repair them, the courtyard will collapse."

Al said dissatisfiedly: "Even if it collapses, you won't be allowed to live there!"

"I don't care, it's a dangerous building!"

A little deer came skipping down the mountain and looked blankly at the adventure group setting up camp in the square. Everyone found it interesting and did not disturb it.

This is the sacred atrium, and everyone would rather eat dry food than hunt the creatures here.

The little deer watched the adventure group settle down and his eyes met Freya's.

Freya was squatting on the ground, chewing the dried meat that Leo had found, and she was chewing it with relish.

Leo's fatherly love overflowed, and he couldn't help but blame Master Bobak in his heart, "As a parent, why did you just leave like that? Children are in the period of physical development, they should eat more!"

Master Bobak's voice came faintly: "The elven druids' transformation does not require food to maintain. They only need to absorb natural magic to ensure their survival. Freya said she was hungry, but she was just greedy."

"Ah? Then wouldn't my meal of three pancakes have been wasted?" Leo was dumbfounded.

Master Bobak's gentle voice was filled with a smile, "It's different. That's the reward for labor."

While the two were talking, the fawn in front of the camp suddenly stood up on its front legs, leaned back, spoke in human language, and shouted to Freya, "Come and catch me! Big stupid bear! Lululu!"

After saying that, he jumped and ran away.

"I'm going to eat you!"

Freya chased after him with a “ton ton ton” noise.

Everyone looked at each other, and Leo comforted them: "It's okay, just kids playing."

Denise couldn't help but ask, "Leo, have you been here before?"

"No."

“But you seem very familiar with it, and…” Denise pointed at Freya’s back.

In their eyes, this groundhog that looked like the Earth Bear must be a role similar to the Guardian of the Atrium, just like the Bear Man, but he was very familiar with Leo and even had a sense of dependence on him.

"Ah, this is an elven druid who has been a visitor to River Bend before." Leo could only give a perfunctory explanation.

"It's amazing. I envy your life, Leo. It's like you're living in a fairy tale." Denise said with genuine envy.

Leo didn't want to shatter the noble lady's beautiful imagination, so he just smiled and didn't answer.

In the wilderness, when your fist is big, life is a fairy tale, your neighbors are hospitable, and you can sing and dance.

When your fist is not big enough, the fairy tale turns into a horror story and you become your neighbor's food in minutes.

Of course, meeting Freya is indeed a heartwarming fairy tale story.

Well, so is the little mouse!

The next day, everyone climbed the stone steps and reached the top floor where the palace was located.

This palace is more cozy than grand, in the classic elf tree house style. Only the marble foundation and gate reveal the dignity of the court.

It is backed by the sheer cliffs of a magnificent barrier, and from under the snow-white stone foundation, numerous intertwined giant trees and vines extend, forming the main body of the palace.

Vines spread around the palace, weaving into suspended bridges that led to various areas carved out of the cliffs.

Unfortunately, the bear leader with snow-white fur stopped everyone outside the palace gate and said to them, "This is the lord's palace. Visitors are prohibited."

People could only visit the gardens outside the palace.

Standing on the edge of the cliff on the high ground, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Wolf-Qulang Plain, looking down over the foothills that extend for more than a hundred miles.

The eight hundred miles of mountains and rivers are all under the morning light, and the mountain streams and waterfalls are like several silver threads.

In the vast wilderness, wisps of smoke rose from the chimneys of some tribe, perhaps from some alien race or some savage people.

If it weren't for the faint mist that shrouds the Wolf Plain all year round, Leo would even be able to see the roof of Isenbol.

Denise said excitedly: "In the past, most of the adventurers who came to explore the Wolf-Driving Plain started from Varanger in the north, went deep into the Wolf-Driving Plain, and then explored north and south. I never thought that the courtyard was actually at the foot of the southern end of the Wolf-Driving Plain!"

"Of course, no matter who stands here, they can understand why Lord Chis'el chose to build the city here! This place is so beautiful!"

The entire Wolf-Qulang Plain is more than a thousand miles from north to south and more than three hundred miles from east to west - if the hundreds of miles of foothills that form the magnificent barrier are included, it is nearly five hundred miles.

The total area is more than 100,000 square kilometers, which is almost the size of Fujian Province.

Trying to find an ancient monument sealed by magic by hiking over mountains and across rivers within the province of Fujian is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Even though the adventure group had to travel through mountains and rivers for several days, the straight-line distance from here to the river bend was actually only about a hundred miles, and the Anzeno River Waterfall on the right was within sight.

Leo even discovered a suspended canal that led from the high ground where the elves' palace was located to the large lake at the foot of the waterfall.

Unfortunately, the channel breaks after extending for several hundred meters, and the rest of it has disappeared over the past thousand years.

"It seems that this place is parallel to the big lake at the foot of the waterfall. If the canal is still there, we can even follow the canal directly to the wild tribe tribe. That would really be a straight line."

The adventure group stayed in the courtyard for a whole day before Denise reluctantly said, "Let's go back."

Leo was also deeply attached to this place, and couldn't help but ask Master Bobak in his heart, "Master Bobak, is it really impossible for people to live here?"

Bobak obviously knew what Leo was thinking, and he slowly explained: "After the atrium was sealed, only a few people were allowed in and out through Al's operation. To completely unlock the seal, a large amount of magic energy is needed to activate the city core, which is not something you can afford now."

"Besides, after Lord Chis'el returned to High Court, he fell into a deep sleep for hundreds of years. No one can enter his city without his permission."

After his little trick was seen through by Bobak, Leo smiled awkwardly. Picking up a city for free was rarer than pie falling from the sky.

Leo did not expect such an adventure. He was already satisfied to be able to come in and have a look around and broaden his horizons.
