Hao Ren looked back at the direction when the crowd came, the path in the dense fog had disappeared, and there was only a layer of black mirror rippled in water. This round "mirror" seemed to be drawn in The space extends abruptly from the building as much as a dozen meters wide, and the edges seem to be floating with a lot of trivial black bands as if the oil paint on the edge is dry. He reached over and touched it curiously, without feeling that he was in contact with any entity. He took another look at the probe and found that the path opposite the "mirror" was still there. Heather Anna threw a rash sentence at the back: "If you want to go back, you can leave from this mirror surface, just walk along the road. You have a mark on your body, as long as you don't break into the dense fog, there is no problem. There is an ancient guard at the entrance and exit where the shadow mezzanine crosses the real world. Tell them that you will be free to enter and leave this place. But do n’t bring anyone in-your mark is only valid for yourself, once outsiders enter the second The layer of shadow space specifies death. "
The mirror-like thing is the passage of the Shadow Fortress to the outside world. They are distributed throughout the city, and are guarded by powerful guards at both ends of the passage. Hao Ren is still one of the smaller ones. There are also large entrances and exits dedicated to bulk materials in the more defensive places in the city, but it is not a place where visitors can step on. Heather Anna took everyone out of the platform, and before the stairs at the end of the platform, everyone saw a tall old tree. Hao Ren couldn't help but look at this tree a few times: This tree is not the same as the normal tree The mottled and folds of its bark are tangled together, and it feels like an old face.
"Is there anything weird?" Hao Ren is observing here. The old tree actually opened, and the folds on the trunk shook, revealing a pair of dark brown eyes from under the thick bark. A crunchy wooden friction sounded deep in the trunk, "Well ... I don't know the guy, the outsider ... But with the guidance of Heather Anna, you should be trustworthy. Don't mess around in the city. Otherwise it will become fertilizer."
"This is the ancient tree Gunrudar, the guardian of this gate, who came to this city a hundred years ago," Heather Anna bowed slightly to the ancient tree. This is the introduction to Hao Ren, "Each channel has two gatekeepers, one each in the real world and the shadow fortress. Senior Hespe rides guards the reality level of this channel, and Gunrudar guards the shadow side. Do n’t underestimate Gunrudar. The power of all the plants in this city is subject to his orders. Although he guards the gate here, he also monitors the streets of all other urban areas, and he is also an ancient person who has survived from the mythological era to this day. One of the most qualified seniors. "
Ancient tree Gunrudar swayed the crown with patience, and seemed to like this compliment about age and seniority, but Vivian circled around it and suddenly a thoughtful word came out: "I seem to see After you ... wait a minute, it seems that I planted you back then! I remembered--what good fruit? "
Ganrudar ’s canopy shook, and then he glanced at Vivian. As a result, the whole tree shivered as if the vibration mode had been turned on: "Female ... Hostess!"
Vivian doesn't care about this. She went up and grabbed Ganrudal's trunk for a while: "Is the fruit hanging or not? Is it good fruit?"
Grundal fell leaves and dead branches, with a trembling voice in his voice: "Wait ... wait ... This is a misunderstanding! I am not a fruit tree! I have said that I am not Fruit tree! I explained it to you as soon as I could speak! I am a fighting tree man! "
Vivian let go of his hand in disappointment: "Cut, I know, I'm just upset-I wasted a few years before I realized that I took the wrong sapling ..."
Hao Ren is very strange: "What's going on?"
"I brought it from Umir's garden," Vivian complained, "Once I went to Umir's door and found a fruit that was delicious, I cut the root in the orchard. The branches came back and planted by myself, but the result was wrong. After years of painstaking care, I realized that Ya was a fruitless treeman. The one with the long fruit was his uncle. Hey, I was silly happy under a broken tree for years. Ah, watering it and fertilizing it every day with enthusiasm, it turned out that it couldn't even produce a fruit. "
Heather Anna stared dumbfounded at it all. Suddenly I remembered something that seemed to show Gunrudar a sudden enlightenment: "Ah, I said, why do n’t you pretend to sleep every time I mention something about Master Vivian? It turns out that this is the case ... Worship! "
Ganrudar ’s canopy shook: "So what! I am your predecessor from age! Pay attention to the inferiority of the young and old, no matter how difficult the situation is, you ca n’t forget the previous glory, if you live for the sake of stealth If so, what's the difference with the nest of night sparrows on the third branch of my eastern branch? "
Gunrudar said to spread his branches. In order to prove that there is really a nest of birds on the third branch of the eastern branch of the tree, which is used to enhance his persuasion.
Heather Anna is speechless and can only nod with a smile, but Vivian glanced at the ancient tree with a sigh: "Forget it, you live alive ... Longer life, Northern Europe The slain chickens and dogs do not stay, there is only one tree like you and remember what they look like. "
Gunrudar was silent for a while, and hung down all branches slightly: "Yes, hostess."
A group of people bid farewell to this ancient guard, which has been thousands of years old. As Heather Anna walked in this shadowy city, they crossed the medieval-style stone streets and passed through the mottled old lights. The old mansion, on the road, occasionally looks like some ordinary people, but it passes by strange pedestrians. The majority of the residents in this city are Blood Clan, and the remaining one-third are humanoid creatures called shadow demons. The rest are mostly non-climate idle races. There is also a small part of Werewolf in the city. Their situation here is a bit awkward. After all, the dominant city is their opponent race, but due to the current situation, this small group of Werewolf still maintains relative peace with the city's Blood Clan.
The so-called peace is to work hard for each other when the other party does not exist.
Hao Ren noticed that although this shadow city is quite large, in fact, the residents are probably very poor, and the large main road only reached the end of less than ten people. Most of the huge and solemn ancient houses were gloomy and deserted. Haunted house, the real residents may not occupy one-tenth of the room. Originally, he thought that there would be lively scenes in different kinds of shelters. On the road, you can see vampire or little demons on the road, but in fact ... the lonely here is like a ghost town, and it can only be said that there are still people living, but Absolutely not popular.
"There are actually only tens of thousands of residents in the city, you think about it, a city as big as the real Athens, but only tens of thousands of residents," Heather Anna introduced the current status of the city, "and even these tens of thousands of people Many of them did n’t show up at all, and too many people were disappointed with the status quo, so they simply went back to sleep and woke up only once every hundred years to look at the situation outside and found that the situation still did n’t improve and went back to sleep. Some guys even I slept for two thousand years ... longer than I spent in this city. "
"You didn't live here just after it was built?" Nangong Wuyue asked curiously.
"No," Heather Anna shook her head. "I was 1,800 ... It may have been sent here by Lord Vivian 1,700 years ago. At that time, the city was still blocked, but there were adults Vivian. Guarantee, Hespe rides made an exception and brought me in. At that time I was still a lonely family, and it was a later matter to form my own family. "
Vivian nodded: "Well, she was so annoying, I had to throw her here. And to be honest, the situation was difficult at the time, and I had trouble raising myself. I might as well send her to a safe point Place-At that time she was still a little girl who knew nothing, and it was too dangerous to run around with me outside. "
Lily is a straight girl: "But when the current situation is not difficult, it is also a problem for you to feed yourself!"
Hao Ren quickly pulled the Husky behind him: "This girl is ... what a fool!"
Finally, a group of people arrived in a new neighborhood in the city that seemed to be more neatly planned. After Heather Anna arrived here, she was obviously in a good mood. She pointed to the largest spire house in front of her: "Just here! This is where I live. All the houses with the same emblem around them are the domain of the Heather Anna family-welcome to my house ~~ "
This is a big house with black ceilings and grey walls, elegant decoration, and a gloomy look in the style of vampire. Although the style is depressed, the details are gorgeous. Hao Ren can see at a glance what the emblem of Heather Anna said: the house The most conspicuous part of the exterior wall is hung with a huge family crest. The full length of the seven or eight meters long fabric is Vivian's extra large poster-not the reduced version of Heather Anna ’s short hair child, but exactly the same as Vivian The image of long hair is at least 99.9% reduced. This photo is the so-called family crest. Vivian turned his head to cover his face after seeing this scene: "So I don't want to come to this place ... she's so annoying."

And continue to conditionally reflexively ask for the annual work ticket, but it seems that the free ticket mechanism has changed.
