In the course of more than two thousand years of continuous construction and development, the Twilight Capital has turned into a grotesque monster.
Its predecessors were originally city-states in the hinterland of Midgard-at that time, the size of a city-state was quite limited. Even if several city-states and their respective territories were connected together, it was not quite At the size of a giant city on Earth today, a twilight barrier is enough to completely cover all of this. After the barrier was raised, the survivors of this land could only build their homes under this layer of sky. The land area was limited, so they could only let their cities develop towards the sky.
They first connected several city-states into one piece, and developed every inch of wasteland between the city-states as much as possible. After filling the earth, they built up the city layer by layer, using some kind of already on the earth. It may be the technology left over by Warner God that has been lost, and this construction method can be realized.
The resources collected from the dark wilderness are continuously converted into steel and adhesives, filling every inch of space under the twilight barrier for a period of two thousand years, and finally forming a unique city. Conical structure. Today, the upper city of the city has almost been able to touch the layer of energy shield that emits a yellowish light. Standing on the highest platform of the upper city, you will feel that the twilight barrier is in the position where you can reach with your hand- In fact, if you have enough arm strength, throw a small stone into the sky, you can see the ripples on the barrier.
The city has no room for further development.
In the depths of this deformed nest, the ancient steam turbine and pressure piping system are still slowly running, just like the aging internal organs of an ultimate monster, which have a history of hundreds or even thousands of years. Every time the thing rotates, it will make this twilight capital groan painfully, sometimes even the whole upper city will shake, but the residents of the city are accustomed to this ominous sign.
The steam locomotive stopped slowly at the station in Shangcheng District. After leaving the car, the Hao Ren immediately felt a lot better: the steam locomotive used to transport workers and ore was definitely not comfortable. In fact, in order to operate in the dark wilderness, The steel monster is more about sturdiness and safety than humanization. The completely sealed compartment is not only boring, but also full of pungent oil smell. It is a kind of torment after a long stay.
Although the air quality outside the cabin is just like that.
They are located close to the highest point of the city, but standing here Hao Ren can't feel a little relaxed and happy, the low twilight barrier above can only make people feel depressed. He looked at Wendel next to him: "Where shall we go next?"
"The light seeker ’s headquarters is in Xiacheng District, close to the Temple of the Iron Throne. Let ’s go down from the big shaft, but the big shaft is controlled by the steam council," Wendell explained patiently. Ordinary citizens can use it, but you are in trouble: you have no legal status. So the most likely case is that we must first accept the steam council ... "
Lily suddenly interrupted the old man ’s words: "Are you talking about the steam council?"
A team of uniformed uniforms boarded the platform of the station. They looked radiant, proud, and confident. The black and blue tight uniforms were decorated with silver trim, and the combination of gears and valves was hung on the chest, except for the leader. In addition to the people, these people are carrying a metal stick. The stick should be used for law enforcement, but it looks like some kind of elongated deformed machine control lever.
After reaching the platform, the team walked directly towards this side. Wendell's face suddenly became somber after seeing them.
"It's them, the sheriffs of the Steam Council," the old man's voice was a little repressed, "and it's the last thing I would like to see ..."
Hao Ren gave the old man a strange look, thinking that the opposition between the steam council and the light seeker was more serious than imagined.
At this time, those "sheriffs" had come to the crowd. Standing at the front of the line was a serious middle-aged man with short black hair and a serious face. He ignored the Hao Ren line and just nodded to Wendel. There is some kind of deliberate indifference and alienation: "Mr. Wendell, I am very happy to see you safely return from the darkness."
Wendle's face bitterly: "Yeah, no matter how upset you are, I'm back."
"I didn't see other light seekers, so can you think that the result of this light seeking journey is still the same," the serious middle-aged man has a sharp look, "only you come back alive-the last time The light-seeking operation failed completely unexpectedly. "
Wendel's attitude suddenly changed when he heard this sentence. He propped up his neck with the words clang: "No! This time is different! I found them!"
The middle-aged man also seemed to be surprised by Wendell ’s sudden tough attitude. He looked at Hao Ren curiously: "These people?"
He received the news that Wendell returned to the Twilight Capital and took a locomotive to the Upper Town, but the news came from the Mine Dispatch Bureau of the Outer Rim. The short report did not mention "outside People.
"They came from outside the twilight capital!" Wendell said loudly, his eyes finally shining again at this time, that is the glory that will only come when the career he pursues for life finally achieves results. "They come from Asgard-you look at them, they are healthy and strong, the entire Asgard is not polluted, there is no twilight barrier at all, a whole country is healthy!"
The sheriffs of the Steam Council immediately looked at each other, and some minor commotion spread among these people. The middle-aged man was also stunned for a moment, but his eyes quickly cooled.
"Babies!"
He stared at Wendell.
"You ..." Winderton was frustrated, but he didn't have much time to say anything. The middle-aged man in front of him waved his hand hard: "I don't know where you found these people, but they made them. This scam is the foundation that shakes the entire twilight capital! You are finally completely mad-take them away! "
The sheriffs hesitated a little, and the middle-aged man immediately glared: "What are you still doing?"
At this time, a hand was suddenly placed on his shoulder, Hao Ren looked at the superior sheriff with a smile: "I said this dear man, but all normal people should know that there is no right to speak without investigation. Is your mood your basis for judging the truthfulness of others? "
Middle-aged people do n’t know how Hao Ren suddenly came silently from a few meters away and put his hand on his shoulder. He was startled and raised his eyes to find those who claimed to be from Asgard The stranger is now standing beside him, forming a siege, but his magistrates are still standing in a daze for a while, his expression stiff as if frozen.
The shadows under each of their feet are stretched very long, and the elongated deformed shadows are pointing in the direction of the little demon Elizabeth. In the innocent eyes of Elizabeth, two thin clusters of green flames flash Pass away.
"What are you doing ..."
"We heard that the Steam Council is the manager of the Twilight Capital," Hao Ren held his arms. "You manage this city and maintain this city. Under such difficult circumstances, the city has developed smoothly for two thousand years- —To be honest, I still admire you a little bit at first, but you ... smashed the signboard a little bit. "
"Sorcerer?" The middle-aged man looked sullen, but he still didn't panic in this restrained situation. He just glared at Wendell, "This is the helper you found to help the acting? You Not afraid of recruiting the Wizard Guard? "
"I have no intention to reverse your misunderstanding and prejudice against me," Wendell smiled helplessly, "but you should not let this prejudice completely blind your mind, don't you want to believe outside the barrier at all ... … "
"There is only one darkness outside the barrier! It is as dark as your heart!" The middle-aged man glared at the old man with his neck stuck in his neck. "I knew this when you first abandoned your wife!" /
Hao Ren was originally wondering how to give some humanistic care to this seemingly oily parliamentary official, but at this moment he was stunned: it sounds like ... there is something inside?
Not only Hao Ren, but a group of people next to Vivian Lily March FF Y’zaks also instantly became emotionally active, a large group of guys who were idle and waiting for gossip turned their heads in unison, turning their eyes to gold ...
If Vivian Lily and May are still easy to understand, after all, when they are idle, they will watch TV and watch family dramas. They will naturally become enthusiastic when they hear this, but Y’zaks is not very easy to explain: the dare generation of the devil is still Have this hobby of inquiring about insider divorce?
The expression on Wendell ’s face changed over and over, and eventually all turned into a sigh: “This is my son, Hope.” (To be continued.)
