Chapter 1290
Angel City is the junction of the desert and ice and snow zones of the Stone Kingdom. The environment here can be said to be the worst place in the Stone Kingdom. It is surrounded by endless plains without any shelter. Storms visit Angel City dozens of times every year.
In the earliest times, there was no city here at all, but a battlefield between the two major nations of the Stone Kingdom. Later, when the war stopped, this place became a place to exile various criminals. The first criminals established Angel City here.
At the beginning, this place was called the City of Sin. Everyone in it was an unforgivable criminal, or an expelled evil wizard, a murderer, or an irrational alchemist...
But later, more and more people were exiled here. There were many talents among the people exiled here. Those crazy alchemists and evil wizards who had no moral bottom line, if we talk about pure strength, I am afraid they are stronger than the strong people of the same level.
These people gathered more and more, fighting endlessly, and people died every day. Later, the first mayor of the City of Angels appeared, and then integrated these crazy guys and set a rule. Only then did the City of Angels develop slowly.
Later, this place became a gathering place for all kinds of unacceptable existences. Those who killed people, offended people who should not be offended, and committed heinous crimes all ran to the City of Angels.
No one here cares what you have done, as long as you abide by the rules of the City of Angels.
Anything that cannot be bought on the market can be sold here. Even a princess of a royal family may be sold as a pet here.
It's not that no one wants to destroy the City of Angels, but it is impossible to destroy it. This is the gathering place of the filth and dirt of the Stone Kingdom, but it also involves very large interests. If you want to take something here, you must pay the corresponding value. Robbery is to destroy the rules of the City of Angels.
Once, the daughter of a prince of the Kingdom of Odin, a princess, was trafficked here. At the auction, the prince of Odin led people to suppress the City of Angels, and the Heavenly Rank strongman personally took action to destroy the City of Angels.
But this city has been operated for countless years. It looks ordinary, but its defense ability is terrifyingly strong. The city was closed and sank directly into the ground, and disappeared for a month.
The City of Angels disappeared for a month. The forces that had interests in the City of Angels suffered great losses, especially cross-border transactions, some negotiations that could only be conducted in secret, or the handover of intelligence, all took place in the City of Angels.
In a month, a large number of forces suddenly emerged and suppressed the prince, and even the people of the Odin royal family went to persuade him personally. Only then did the City of Angels rise again from the ground.
In the end, the prince could only grit his teeth and escape with a lot of purple gold coins to buy his daughter back...
Lin Yun stood on the deck of the floating flying boat, looking at the City of Angels below, with a smile on his lips.
Even in the future, the City of Angels will still maintain its greatest reputation. All the chaotic areas where no one is in charge have the forces of the City of Angels. Ten thousand years later, the main city of the City of Angels will be an extremely chaotic plane. Anyone who knows the coordinates can go there, where they can buy anything they want, whether it is materials, alchemical items, or creatures. Even technology can be bought there, as long as the price is affordable.
In this kind of place, it is actually the easiest to do things, because as long as there is enough strength to deter, this place can be said to have the best public security. It is the most suitable place to open a shop.
As long as you pay enough taxes and have your own shop, people who come to cause trouble will be killed directly in front of the door. The city guards of the City of Angels will only help clean up the blood at the door, and they don’t even need to do it themselves. The city guards will directly solve the troublemakers. As for robbing shops in the city, it means that they are tired of living and want to commit suicide...
After landing outside the City of Angels, Dick personally led Lin Yun to the most prosperous street in the City of Angels. One of the shops is only eight meters wide and is the only shop on this street that is not open.
The shop has three floors. When the protective alchemy array of the shop is opened, it is only eight meters deep. Compared with the shop of Gilded Rose, this is definitely the smallest one. Even the smallest branch is several times larger than this one, but in the City of Angels, this is already a relatively large shop.
The interior decoration has been completed, and it is completely decorated according to a pharmacy store. There are two floors above, one for warehouses and one for living. All the corresponding things are ready.
"Mr. Merlin, this is the largest store we can get in the best location. If you are not satisfied, we can continue..."
Before Dick finished speaking, Lin Yun waved his hand.
"No, this is it. I am very satisfied."
Lin Yun knew how rare the stores in the City of Angels were. It was very difficult to buy a store in such a place. Even if you offered ten times the price, no one would be willing to sell it. Some people who own stores would rather leave the store empty and pay a lot of store taxes every month than sell it.
It's good to rent it, let alone buy it, especially this most prosperous street, which is the best street at the bottom of the City of Angels.
After taking out all the contracts, Dick signed a contract with Lin Yun to transfer the store. The store belonged to Lin Yun. No one could control what he did in the store.
There are many evil necromancers in the City of Angels who conduct human experiments in the shops, but as long as it does not affect the outside of the shops, no one will go back to take care of it.
After completing the agreement, Dick hurriedly left with 10,000 universal cores, and Lin Yun opened the half plane and released Xiuban and Reina, as well as the people who were brought here to run the shop, all of whom appeared.
After the goods were distributed, the name of the shop was also changed to a magic sign, Gilded Rose Pharmacy.
The shop opened directly in a low-key manner without any opening ceremony. Lin Yun left a word to Xiuban and disappeared.
"Xiuban, Reina, you two stay here for the time being. If someone comes to the shop to make trouble, just knock them to death, don't worry."
Quietly leaving the City of Angels, Lin Yun went directly to the approximate direction deduced before. The location of the plane road was not very far from the City of Angels, only more than 50 kilometers, which was considered to be the range of the City of Angels. Within this range. Various battles have almost never stopped.
Those who flee to the City of Angels are often chased and burned to the gate of the City of Angels. Before entering the City of Angels, it is not safe. Only when entering the City of Angels can it be considered completely safe. No matter who you are, you will abide by the rules of the City of Angels in the city.
Lin Yun's hidden body floated in the air with the wind. He used the detection magic weapon made in advance to constantly track the breath of the plane road.
If you don't know what type of plane it is, it is almost impossible to use the magic weapon to find the plane road. Only when you know what kind of plane it is can you confirm an approximate parameter and a rough search target. After knowing the approximate range, this magic weapon will be useful.
However, this process is not so easy. When you are very close to the plane road. The magic weapon will react, so Lin Yun estimates that he will have to float here for at least ten days.
This process is very easy to be discovered. If you don't have a reason to wander around the City of Angels, you may cause unnecessary trouble.
Even if someone finds out now, as a shopkeeper in the City of Angels, no one will even look at me even if I squat outside every day counting sand and blowing the cold wind...
The sky is getting darker, and the hot weather during the day starts to drop rapidly at night. The City of Angels is like a dirt city located in the desert during the day. But at night, it starts to snow all around, and the area of dozens of kilometers around the City of Angels turns white. The city also becomes a snow city covered with ice and snow.
At night, the temperature drops to the point where water freezes, but the city becomes even more lively. The hot atmosphere rises to the sky, and the snowflakes falling above the city. All evaporate before they fall.
At night, it is the time for the City of Angels to come alive. All the shops are open at night. The main business hours for brothels, casinos, and black markets are at night.
I sit at the door of the shop on my off-duty day, happily eating a bunch of fresh food bought outside, but there is no business in the shop. This is the case for newly opened shops, even a shop specializing in pharmacy.
But in the City of Angels, no one came to the door, and it had nothing to do with whether it was newly opened or not...
Soon, several people came to the door, led by a sword master himself, with a playful sneer on his face.
"A newly opened store, Gilded Rose, I haven't heard of this name, pay the tax first..."
Two sword masters who looked evil, with several great sword masters, just stepped into the door of Gilded Rose, and before they finished a sentence, they stopped their movements, looked up at the guys blocking the door of Gilded Rose, and grinned.
Then he picked up the massacre placed next to him, and his body disappeared in an instant.
The next second, a thunderous explosion sounded, and the sword master who spoke flew backwards. When he flew three meters away, his whole body exploded and exploded into a ball of blood mist...
Xiu Ban laughed grimly, waved Massacre, and knocked two sword masters and five great sword masters into a ball of blood mist like knocking a chicken...
It took less than three seconds for these people to step into the gate of the Gilded Rose and explode into a ball of blood mist...
Xiu Ban spitted fiercely outside the door, threw Massacre aside, and picked up the roasted beast leg of the unknown monster and ate it in big mouthfuls.
"A bunch of idiots, they just paid a whole year's tax today, and someone came to pretend to collect taxes at night. Do you really think that Uncle Xiu Ban is an idiot..."
Outside the gate of the Gilded Rose, the bustling crowd quieted down, and a group of people looked at Xiu Ban squatting at the gate of the Gilded Rose eating barbecue in horror.
Everyone knows what those people do. Even though the Gilded Rose opened, no one dared to buy anything there. This is because new stores, especially those that seem to have never been heard of, are obviously not powerful.
Such stores are regarded as fat sheep by the thugs in the city, and it is inevitable that they will come to collect protection fees...
If they rely on the city guards, no one will dare to rob them, but these villains have many ways to make it impossible for the store to continue its business.
With enough strength, this is indeed the best place to do business, but if you don’t have enough strength, you have to bleed to continue doing business.
Obviously, these people regard the Gilded Rose as a branch of some alchemy store, and they are the kind that are easy to bully...
A few seconds later, the crowd continued to move around, doing what they had to do. No one cared about the tragic death of those idiots, except for the look they gave to Xiuban. And the look of Gilded Rose changed a little. Such cruelty and recklessness were rare in the City of Angels...
Gilded Rose had no customers at first. Soon, many people came to the store, and no one cared about the disgusting blood and flesh fragments at the door.
Half a minute later, the City Guards appeared, and the store manager just went up and said a word. These people pretended to be City Guards to collect taxes from Gilded Rose, and the City Guards immediately turned around and left, and also cleaned up the traces at the door...
A few minutes later, someone came to sell information about those who were knocked to death by Xiuban. The manager of the branch readily bought the information with one thousand purple gold coins and handed it to Lena.
After dawn, Lin Yun appeared directly on the third floor of the store from outside the city, and also knew what happened during the day, but Lin Yun didn't care.
"As long as those people leave the City of Angels, they will all be killed. A small force composed of a group of villains and fugitives dares to blackmail us."
Ignoring these things, Lin Yun continued to look for the plane road outside the city. The business of Gilded Rose in the City of Angels started smoothly. With the deterrence, people who came to buy things were more assured, especially the quality of Gilded Rose's medicines were very good, and there were even some special medicines that were not available in the City of Angels.
Three days later, the small force composed of villains. When they were on an escort mission outside the city, they were all annihilated. Less than a hundred meters away from the City of Angels, they were all frozen into hard ice sculptures. Even the scorching sun and high temperature during the day did not melt the ice sculptures...
Everyone seemed to be frozen into ice sculptures without any resistance, and the shocked expressions on everyone's faces were frozen.
After being stored for three consecutive days, the ice sculptures exploded and turned into ice crystals all over the sky and dissipated...
After showing off its muscles, Gilded Rose was completely established in the City of Angels. Here, as long as you have enough strength, it is definitely the best place to do business.
In the shop of Gilded Rose, no one came to cause trouble. The transaction was much more straightforward than other places.
However, Lin Yun appeared in the shop less and less frequently, and spent more time looking for the plane road outside the city.
After more than ten days of searching, no useful clues were found. After five consecutive days of sleepless searching, when the sun was about to rise again, the magic compass finally had a little reaction.
On the surface of the magic compass, which had not changed at all, a faint breath of death emerged, and then the breath of death flowed to the edge of the compass and pointed to one of the directions.
Finally, there was a discovery. Lin Yun's face was lifted, and he followed the guidance of the magic compass and arrived at the place indicated by the compass in a few seconds. When he arrived at the place, the breath of death on the compass began to rotate in the center of the compass.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yun suddenly realized.
It turned out that the plane road was underground. No wonder the Angel City was such a chaotic place that this plane road was discovered thousands of years later.
At that time, the Angel City here had been moved to the plane, and this place was also occupied by the Lincoln Business Alliance. It was also at that time that the Lincoln Business Alliance discovered this plane road...
The sand under my feet was mixed with the ice and snow at night, and was frozen into frozen soil. It would take at least until noon to restore it to the desert state of the day.
Lin Yun spit out a rule rune, and the frozen soil under his feet automatically cracked a crack. Lin Yun's body was like sinking into a swamp and disappeared rapidly on the ground.
After diving hundreds of meters underground, I finally found the hidden place of the plane road. There were hard stones all around. There was a crack that was only more than one meter wide. In the center of this crack, a space crack of one and a half meters long was looming there, and it seemed that it was about to disappear.
There was only a little breath of death in the crack, and some corpses of undead skeletons were squeezed into pieces. As the space crack began to weaken, this stretched crack seemed to be closing towards the center.
No wonder no undead appeared for such a long time. This space crack is not enough to be called a plane road. At most, it can only have a certain coordinate.
With such a small crack, the undead creatures that can pass through it will never exceed level 10, and the time when the space crack appears is only a short period of time when day and night alternate. After this time, the space crack will dissipate, and the stone cracks forcibly opened by these death auras will also close under the strong underground pressure.
Under this pressure, any undead below level 30, even ghosts, will be directly suppressed to death. Let alone thousands of years, if there is no accident and the terrain here has not changed, this space crack may not be discovered by anyone in tens of thousands of years.
Release several space rule runes into the space crack, prop up the space crack that is about to close, and then expand the range of the stone crack, so that the surrounding area solidifies into a small space of several meters, and Lin Yun begins to arrange the plane road.
This plane road with only a small space crack cannot support shuttle at all. It can only confirm a plane coordinate through this space crack, and then build a plane road through the alchemy array.
In less than half an hour, the plane road was built. Lin Yun crossed the plane road and came to a dark world. (To be continued.)
