City of Sin: one by one eight cities
Richard looked at the Fire of Time, which became much darker, and asked: "Fire of Time uses these souls as fuel. Now I have evacuated all the souls, will it go out."
Old Barr pointed to the corner of the house and said, "No, as long as we collect more soul wood and come back, it is the real fuel that supports Fire of Time."
There are some dark twisted wood piled in the corner of the room, which is the strangely twisted dead wood that Richard saw on the wasteland. He did not expect that these soul wood can actually be used to support the burning of Fire of Time, so this should be It is a rare treasure worth a lot of money.
In in the Void, anything that contains Soul Power that can burn Fire of Time can be sold at a high price. Only a few pieces of wood in the corner can be exchanged for a Top Level sacrifice.
When Richard found this town, he saw at least dozens of soul trees on the wasteland.
Richard said: "Then I will collect some soul wood and come back, I remember there is a tree not far from here."
"You" Lao Baer opened his mouth, and finally sighed, said: "I know which one, alas, I have long wanted to cut it back, but its position is beyond my ability , Even if I cut it, there is absolutely no way to bring it back, but if it is you, it should be no problem, alas, I am really old. "
Soon after, Richard and Old Barr came to the town.
Old Barr suddenly asked: "Before you come here, you should already be a superpower."
Richard just smiled slightly, did not answer, and went directly out of the light curtain of order and disappeared into the wilderness.
The time and flow rate of Dark Region fluctuated. Old Barr was sitting by the side of the town and waiting. I did n’t know how long it was before finally seeing a vague figure in the distance.
Richard carried a soul wood that was thicker than his body, and steadily entered the town. He has now recovered half of his body strength. With the support of energy, his strength has increased greatly. This few tons of soul tree feels nothing.
Old Barr originally thought that Richard would cut a bunch of branches back, so he was already satisfied, but he did not expect Richard to directly carry the whole tree back. Such a large soul tree is enough for the town Fire of Time has been burning for hundreds of years, even if it is no longer to expand the light curtain, it is enough to just maintain the existence of the town.
Old Barr did n’t know what to say, and finally just took a picture of heavily on the shoulder of Richard and said, "Go, go have a drink, I will treat you."
A moment later, in the tavern, Richard and Lao Barr put three large glasses of wine in front of each other, and a large bowl of hot meat pieces.
Soon, the two of them were full and drunk. Old Barr was full of intoxication. He stared at Richard and kept talking about his heroic deeds. Later, he even jumped to the table to make a double match with Richard. He jumped hard and failed to jump onto the table, but fell directly to the table.
Richard couldn't help crying and laughing, so he had to drag him out from under the table, but when he heard thunder, Lao Bar fell asleep long ago.
Richard carried Old Barr to his room and placed it on a slab on the floor. That was Old Barr ’s bed. When Old Barr was so drunk, it was probably a few days of lethargy, so Richard did not wait for him. When he woke up, he carried his knife directly on his back and walked out of town.
While coming out of the light curtain of order, the woman suddenly caught up and forced a hip flask and a pack of barbecue to Richard. These foods, in Dark Region, mean half of Mana and physical strength, which means success Times the chance of survival.
Richard did not refuse, waved goodbye to the woman, and left the light curtain of order, taking the same pace and moving towards the direction of the city.
The wilderness is still the same. Under the grey light, everything is so deadly, but the silence is just the appearance here, and the twisted rules are in effect all the time.
In this world, life is unwelcome, and twisting rules will guide them to continue to self-destruction and to destruction, but the world itself is unchanged.
The more Richard goes deeper in the wasteland, the more he feels this kind of sentiment. The more curious he is, why in this world, as life itself, there is no need to eat.
This is a seemingly simple question, but the answer may contain the secrets of the bottom of the world. Richard has an intuition. After fully analyzing all the twisting rules, you can see the original of the world. Face, see the truth hidden by the twisted rules.
The wasteland is endless.
Every tree of Soul Tree is approaching, passing by, and then gradually away.
Now that Richard knows that these deadly looking dead woods are actually the key materials to ignite Fire of Time, and also the key to let people survive in this strange world.
The number of soul trees on the wasteland is not small. A single soul tree can provide a town for a hundred years, but not many people can cut down the soul wood on the wasteland and then return safely.
Richard walked and walked back suddenly.
In the wasteland, he left a long footprint. The distant one is a little vague and will disappear after a while, but the footprint is straight. This is also the result of the Richard parsing rules. If you change With another person, even Old Barr, the footprints on the wasteland will be distorted.
Richard sets his mind and moves on, and his mind is all about reading the memory of the redeemed soul, even if it is chaotic and distorted memory, it is also memory, and it is also the embodiment of world rules.
In this way, as time goes by, Richard goes farther and farther, and the analysis of world rules becomes deeper and deeper. Two days later, he resolved the eighth rule of perception, and three days later, the first Nine rules are also parsed out, then the tenth, eleventh
When Richard finished analyzing the fourteenth twisting rule, the memories of hundreds of new souls were all read, and Richard had a new understanding of Dark Region, and at the same time had a new doubt: why this world There is no own creature.
To answer this question, Richard felt that it had to parse all the distortion rules before they could start to touch the essence of Dark Region, and this question was also mentioned in the Dark Region travel notes provided by Saint Martin.
The strong man who successfully returned from Dark Region was unable to unlock the secret from beginning to end, but he guessed that there should be life unique to the world in Dark Region, find them, and unlock the secret of the world itself , Which is equivalent to finding the key.
Richard suddenly stopped, looking at a soul tree not far away, there were several branches on the tree with traces of felling, Richard moved his heart, waved his hand, and spattered a piece of light , This is Tracking Magic that can trace biological traces, and now it can be used in Dark Region with Richard rule resolution.
A large spot of light fell around Soulwood, and a line of footprints gradually appeared, pointing forward.
Seeing this trail, Richard was not surprised, but instead looked serious. Instead of rushing forward, he took off the hip flask and food bag from his waist, finished eating the untouched wine and sat quietly Then, after all the wine and meat were turned into physical strength and Mana, and the Mana in the body had been mostly filled up, this stood up and walked in the direction indicated by the footprint.
The experience of the town made Richard understand that meeting other people in this world is not necessarily a good thing. On the contrary, it will be very dangerous most of the time.
The twisted rules seem to distort people ’s personalities. All creatures, whether they are kin or not, will sometimes treat each other as food, and according to Lao Barr, there are super powers in this city. , There may be more than one.
After walking for another two days, the outline of the city appeared on the horizon. This is a very simple city. The wall is just too low to be taller than an adult man ’s head. Some places even use sharpening. The stone slabs were fenced and replaced the city walls, but this does not mean that the city ’s defenses are weak. For many so-called newcomers, overturning the wall itself is a dangerous action that is likely to cause death.
However, Richard is also secretly surprised. It can harvest the soul wood two days away, indicating that there are many very powerful guys in this city. In Dark Region, they can accurately cut the knife on the opponent, which is one in itself. A powerful performance.
Richard walked towards the city.
At this time, a few people strolling around the city gate also noticed Richard. They suddenly looked over and watched them. They have human races and alien races, but they are still mostly human races.
When Richard approached, these people's eyes fell on the knife box behind Richard, and their eyes could not help changing, revealing undisguised greed.
A skinny young man said in Yin Forest: "It's a new guy, but it's tender enough."
Another strong man leaning against the city wall said lazily: "It's very tender, but it's a thorny guy. Carefully stabbed your mouth."
The young people said fiercely: "That is also our business, it has nothing to do with you, Bai Xiong, you don't have to intervene in my good things, but today if you dare to do more things, I will make you look good."
The strong man's face was dull and he sneered, "Is it true, then I'll wait."
At this time, Richard had already passed through the light curtain of order and came to the gate of the city. He stopped, and then walked towards the city.
The city ’s order light curtain is exceptionally weak, and the effect of weakening the distortion rules is not as good as the last town where Richard stayed. This makes Richard a little strange, but after passing through the first order light curtain, he is in the city I saw the second order light curtain, so I understood something in my heart. This city, like most cities in Norland, seems to divide privileged and ordinary areas.
The city gate is very narrow, just like a large manor gate. When Richard was about to enter the gate, he suddenly stopped, because the vicious young man had raised his own The leg was in front of Richard, blocking his way.
Young people gloomy and cold said: "I said you can enter the city."
