Chapter 519: Underground City
【Dark Side】
Han Dong was not at all surprised by such information.
Han Dong himself would build underground fortifications in the manor, let alone the holy city.
From many details, Han Dong can guess the existence of the dark side.
After all, in such a world situation, absolute stability must be guaranteed inside the Holy City... A lot of troublesome things need to be dealt with quickly in secret.
Moreover, there are spies outside the city in the holy city, and the high level is also clear. .
This requires jumping out of the bright side and starting the investigation from the dark side.
It's just that Han Dong didn't expect it.
On the dark side, there actually exists a 'school institution' similar to the National Royal Knights Academy...specialized in cultivating special talents who work in the dark.
Mr. Black and White's reminder, to a certain extent, shows that the following students must be unique and difficult to deal with.
"Well, I'll pay attention... Just in time, next time I take the opportunity to meet Captain Ma Long, go underground and take a look."
"Be careful when you go underground for the first time.
[Dark Side] A certain degree of independence from the Holy City, not subject to the laws of the Holy City, and not directly controlled by the Supreme Council. Humans living below will never take into account your identity.
However, in such an area full of disorder and confusion, there are unexpected opportunities.
Many rare materials that cannot be purchased in the Holy City may be sold on the dark side... At present, the dark side is completely open to the outside world, and opportunities will naturally increase. . "
"it is good……"
At this time, Mr. Black and White pushed the brewed cocktail in front of Han Dong: "The general election is coming, have you already chosen the Knights in your heart?"
Mia answered first: "I'm not quite sure yet... If any of the Knights of the Order takes a fancy to me, I'd be willing to go."
However, the purpose of Mr. Black and White's question is obviously aimed at Han Dong.
It depends on how Han Dong answers.
In the Great Betrayer ** half a year ago, two high-ranking knight leaders had already offered Han Dong an olive branch, especially Ma Long, who openly wanted to recruit Han Dong into the Hell Knights.
"I would like to obey Mr.'s arrangement..."
In this matter, Han Dong did not insist on joining a certain knight order.
Mr. Black and White is kind to Han Dong. As long as Mr. Black and White lets him stay in the Plague Knights... No matter what kind of benefits are given by Captain Ma Long, Han Dong will not be shaken.
"I don't have any special arrangements for you... just find your heart and choose.
Hell Knights, Doomsday Knights are very good choices.
But there is one thing to remind you.
Before making a decision, you must understand the characteristics, rules and regulations of the Thirteen Knights, and determine whether the internal system of the Knights is in line with your personality and goals, and whether it will limit your development.
This year's [Knight Election] is definitely the most grand in history, and the conditions given by the thirteen knight orders are bound to be more than in previous years.
Fight for the top spot in the general election and get the best chance. "
"It must be done."
At this point, Mr. Black and White's summoning ended.
Han Dong was also a little strange. He thought that Mr. Black and White would ask him to stay in the Plague Knights... but during the conversation, he didn't give any request at all.
Han Dong, who stepped down from the Darkmoon Tower, flashed a hint of curiosity in his pupils.
"Mia, since the dark side has been fully opened to the outside world, would you like to take a look together?"
"Okay...as long as I'm with you, I can go anywhere.
However, I heard the witch teacher say that the [Dark Side] is much more chaotic than we thought. Before we go to the past, it is best to do a good job of disguising our identity in advance.
Hee hee... how about we play as a couple? "
"It's better to cover up your appearance.
"
Han Dong's beak costume is really tried and tested to hide his identity.
Mia could only pout her mouth, covering her body with a cloak, revealing only a purple lip... silently followed behind Han Dong.
The only entrance to the dark side is the [Hades Stairs].
It is not together with the ladder of the three gods, but is hidden in a certain position on the Mosrabi River, which is the junction of the civilian area and the inner area.
Rumor has it that there is a second city wall hidden in Mothrabi Hanoi.
Once the outer city walls were breached, civilian areas fell.
The second city wall will be raised immediately, shrinking the defense line inwards and securing the inner area.
It is decided by the parliament, after the dark side is fully opened to the outside world.
There were many [River-crossers] wearing skull masks and black cloaks in the riverside area... They were responsible for extradition to the entrance to the dark side.
There is a river crossing fee of 10 copper coins to be paid once on board.
This is a lot of money for the average person.
The purpose of such high charges is also to ensure that those who go to the dark side have at least a certain spending power.
The wooden boat gradually sinks during the taxiing.
The enchantment that comes with the hull covers the boat passengers and separates the river water from the outside of the enchantment.
"The rumors of the [Second City Wall] are true..."
The bottom of the river is an all-metal structure, with a large number of steam-driven devices embedded in the walls.
Once activated, the city wall at the bottom of the river can be quickly raised.
The entrance to the dark side also exists at the bottom of the river.
Obviously.
The second city wall buried deep in the river is also the underground city wall of the 'dark side', ensuring that the underground area is not invaded by foreign objects.
When the hull of the river-crosser collided with the sediment wall at the bottom of the river, it immediately penetrated the wall due to the fit of the homologous barrier and drove into a small river in a cave.
Not far away, it corresponds to the end of the river, as well as a downward staircase.
One of the components of the Hades Ladder, which leads to the hidden dark side area.
"This……"
Go down the stairs and officially enter the dark side.
When the magnificent underground city was fully revealed, both Han Dong and Mia were stunned at the same time.
The 'Second City Wall' at the lower end of the inner city ring-Mosrabi River acts as a copper wall to wrap the underground city.
The total height of the underground space reaches 300 meters.
Building a city of the dead similar to the one described in Homer's epic.
There is a special building on every street in the city [pillar building] - a cylindrical tower building with more beam columns or pointed rib vaults. .
The column tower is much higher than other buildings in the underground area. As the tallest building in the underground city, it directly borders the ground.
It not only serves as a bird's-eye view point for the Knights to observe and investigate the overall situation of the underground area, but also serves as a support column to ensure that the upper holy city will not collapse downward when it is subjected to a strong impact.
Such [pillar buildings] are evenly distributed, with nearly a thousand buildings.
And the number of other buildings in the dark side city does not exceed three floors... After all, there are not many humans living below, and low-rise buildings are also conducive to management.
Because the dark side is open to the outside world.
On the streets paved with black cold stones, there are a lot of outsiders wearing cloaks, face towels or masks to cover their appearance, and the originally quiet underground city has also become lively.
Since it is not restricted by the rules of the Holy City, many special items will be sold here.
"Honey, let's go there and take a look? The election is coming, maybe we can buy some powerful props here."
Mia stared at the store named [Market Entrance-7] at the end of the street at a glance.
