Chapter 619 Two or Three Things About the Giant City of Rentax【5K】
He turned and pointed to the Vielletine hanging on the side of the horse, and said politely.
The holding of the competitive conference is also a rare event in the giant city.
Usually, it doesn't have to be held once every few years.
So in recent months, many young talents have come from everywhere.
There were even young men from other great cities and kingdoms.
In addition to winning the competition, you can get the right to participate in the noble banquet hosted by Henry Lancaster.
You can also get a small bonus.
Of course, the above two items have almost no attraction to the descendants of nobles.
What they care more about is getting a top spot in the competitive conference, because the prestige brought by each competitive conference is huge, especially for those who perform well in the competitive conference.
For the children of nobles who do not worry about food and clothing, they care more about prestige.
Gaining a good reputation will go a long way towards their future development in the aristocracy.
In addition to the aristocratic children, young people everywhere are also eager to try.
Get ready to prove yourself in the competition.
Therefore, many young people from all over the world have recently come to the giant city to participate in the competition.
In particular, England is still a dusty appearance.
Hearing his words, the guard soldier on duty just nodded expressionlessly.
Raised the magic disk in his hand, a dim white light swept across England's face.
Under the ray of light, his face did not change.
At this time, the soldier on duty nodded, put away the long sword in his hand, and turned his head slightly to indicate that he could enter the giant city.
Englandm nodded calmly, turned around and took up the reins of the lame white horse.
He actually had some doubts in his heart, but the gate guards were reluctant to talk, and he didn't want to get into any trouble. According to England's previous experience, unless there was a war around the giant city, it was usually not so strict to enter and exit the giant city.
Suppressing the incomprehension in his heart, Yingming rode his white horse again and walked towards the outer city of Rentax, preparing to find a tavern to cover the news with a few glasses of wine.
As a bard, it's common to try your luck at the taverns everywhere.
A pub is a place full of possibilities.
Here and you may be able to meet horse bandits who enter the city with concealed identities, nobles who go out to experience, down-and-out traveling merchants, and bartenders who are always in a state of drunkenness.
In addition, the pub is also a place where black street rats gather.
These black street rats are active in the slums, forming a network of hidden underground in the city.
They tend to know a lot of gossip.
Able to keenly capture any bells and whistles in the giant city.
The rats are not very powerful, but they are better than being numerous and good at fanning the flames.
It is said that even the "Shadow Dragon" who is in charge of intelligence in the Kingdom of Avalon has cultivated black street forces in some giant cities to inquire about the secrets of the city.
Englandham knew this very well, after all, bards themselves are a special kind of messenger.
After passing through the pass, from time to time on both sides of the straight road of the giant city, you can see a group of well-armed cavalry passing by. These cavalry are majestic and attract the attention of the civilians and farmers on the road.
"If it's just a banquet for the Athletic Conference and the Marquis of Lancaster."
"The giant city should not be so heavily guarded."
He pondered secretly in his heart, and his travel intuition told him that something must have happened in the great city of Rentax!
The top priority is to find a hotel and settle down immediately, and then go for a drink or two, and then you should be able to figure out what happened.
Englandm shook his head lightly and removed all distracting thoughts. While observing the surrounding situation, he walked along the straight road towards the outer city of Rentax.
From a distance, the entire Rentax giant city looks like a gray beast crawling on the ground.
There is a unique "soul" that belongs to a city itself.
...
At the same time, the third district of the giant city of Rentax.
This is the third circle of the four major circles in the city, and it is a circle where the middle-class people in the city gather.
Numerous stone roads cut the third circle into different sections.
Among them are the houses of small nobles and merchants, as well as the houses of small workshop owners and farmers.
The overall level of regularity is much better than that of the fourth circle.
In a large commercial street on the north side of the third circle floor.
The door of the Greenfield Chaolu Tavern was tightly closed.
The signs on the tavern are inscribed with green leaves and vines.
There are also vines planted on the fence outside, blooming with lovely little white flowers.
The gate outside the tavern is hung with a [closed] tag, which makes the tavern look a little deserted.
Behind the closed door, every table and chair in the hall of the tavern was wiped clean.
A small wooden chair with a backrest was placed upside down on the table.
There are wine glasses upside down on the bar.
Since the doors and windows were closed, the hall looked very dark.
There is also a wooden staircase on the side leading to the second floor.
Just looking at the layout, there is not much difference compared to those common pubs.
Just under the stairs, there is a tunnel hidden.
This tunnel is all made of bluestone, and it glows with cold light in the dim environment.
The tunnel is very long, and even the walls are covered with pulp.
Has a rustic feel.
Walk down the tunnel along the steps, and you will suddenly be enlightened at about thirty or forty meters underground.
There are secret passages and stone chambers opened up here.
There are many branches of the secret path, and no one knows where it can lead.
On the bluestone wall of the secret road, there is a green leaf painted, and there is an eye in the middle of the green leaf.
At intervals, a thick branch sticks out from the wall, and a fist-sized fruit hangs on the top of the branch. This fruit is always emitting a white light.
This is the lighting in the secret passage.
In one of the stone chambers in the secret passage, a tall man with bruises and bruises was tied to a wooden stake.
A handsome blond elf man held a blood-stained green vine whip.
Behind him sat two beautiful high elf women.
They were wearing silver-white light armor, each holding a peculiar silver-gray mask in their hands.
Bright yellow hair went straight over his shoulders, and the pointed elf ears stood out, one with longer hair being more dignified, the other shorter more lively.
The short-haired elf girl looked at the tall man, turned and said to the long-haired elf woman.
"Sister Ella, it has been seven days, and this human still refuses to tell the location of the Tibetan slaves?"
The dignified elf girl named Ella turned her head calmly.
"I'd rather know how he came to know about the Eye of the Elf meeting a week ago."
"There may be the participation of those nobles."
"The most important thing is that the meeting was classified. I am worried that some of my compatriots have been corrupted and leaked."
"By the way, Heya, the giant city has been under martial law recently, have you heard any news?"
Heya shook her head and put on the mask in a bored way.
I saw that she immediately changed from a beautiful high elf woman to a middle-aged woman in her thirties and forties.
Neither the signature pointed ears nor the beautiful blonde hair disappeared.
"According to Brother Kaxiu, it seems that the second prince of the Pendragon royal family is here."
"The Marquis of Lancaster is the second prince's son of a bitch."
"You must know that the three princesses now control the giant cities along the eastern coast."
"It's adjacent to the east, so I guess it's still a fight for power."
Heya adjusted the mask and walked out of the stone room smartly.
"Then dear sister Ella, the task of interrogating this slave trader is left to you and brother Saroyan!"
"I went out for a trip, and I've been suffocating recently!"
"Look at the rats in the fourth circle to see if there is any news!"
The crisp voice drifted away, echoing in the secret passage.
Ella shook her head helplessly and looked at the elf man standing in front again.
"Saroyan, give this human a mouthful of the Moon Fountain, and he passed out again."
"Speaking of this, it is thanks to another human being that we can know that the actions of these slave traders."
"Looking back now, he should have known our identities at the beginning."
"Wait a few days later, I feel the need to send someone to contact."
The male elf named Saroyan with a green vine whip turned around.
He lifted the back of his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
The green vine whip in his hand was about the size of a thumb, and the surface was covered with hook-like thorns.
It was already dripping with blood by this time.
When the whip fell, a drop of dark red blood flowed and fell on the ground.
"Ella, this slave trader's mouth is so hard!"
"Always refuse to explain the real Tibetan slave land!"
"There were only some human slaves in the location he said earlier."
"But according to his purpose, it is clearly a slave hunter targeting the elves."
"I don't know how many compatriots fell into his hands and became playthings."
Saroyan said through gritted teeth.
Ella, who seemed calm and solemn, also frowned.
"Only continue to interrogate!"
"In addition, I'm more concerned about how he knows about the Eye of the Elf gathering. Can he explain this matter?"
Ella asked in a low voice.
I saw Saroyan hesitated for a while before continuing.
"He...he said he heard it from a man in a settlement in the wilderness on the way."
"But he couldn't give more details and said he would take us there in person."
"I suspect he is lying."
Hearing this, Ella fell into deep thought.
"A settlement in the wilderness..."
"A man...?"
"It shouldn't be so coincidental, right?"
In her mind, she couldn't help thinking of the settlement with the ancient guardians that she saw on the way back from the eastern stronghold with Heya riding the Hippogryph back to the great city of Rentax.
The man didn't know what means he used to know that they were peeping in the air.
Involuntarily, he set up a positional crossbow and shot the Hippogryph.
The reason why I was able to know that this slave trader named Bamogo colluded with some nobles and private businessmen with bad intentions was also through that man.
"It wouldn't be so coincidental would it?"
She muttered to herself, stunned for a bit.
"Okay Saroyan, feed him Moon Spring."
"Don't let this guy die."
"Pause the interrogation, give him two days to recuperate, and send a team of Giant Eagle Knights and a team of Horn Eagle Shooters to follow him to find the man."
Ella said in a hurried tone.
In response, Saroyan just nodded and hung the blood-splattered vine whip by the wall.
Dark red fresh blood flowed along the whip head on the wall and overlapped with the previous blood stains.
The whipping just now was the first time this week.
The slave trader Bamogo was dying.
All rely on Moon Spring to breathe a sigh of relief.
Feed rice soup porridge every two or three days
According to the lord's standard, his health was always on the verge of death.
Being able to last for seven days is already considered a strong physique of this guy.
In fact, Bamogo's own strength is not weak, comparable to the fourth-order warrior of the kingdom.
It's just that the number of eyes of the elves is dominant, and they have no power to fight back if they intend to fight back!
Saroyan poured out a small bowl of silvery liquid from the clay pot beside the table.
Carrying it towards Bamogo.
At this time, Bamogo was naked with his upper body lowered and his head lowered.
The whole body is covered with bloodstains of different shades.
The blood from the wound condensed into thick black scabs, which looked terrible.
I saw Saroyan hurriedly walked in front of him, stretched out his hand and pinched his chin, and was stunned when he was about to pour it into the Moon Spring.
"What's wrong Saroyan?"
Ella couldn't help but ask.
At this time, Saroyan suddenly released the hand that was holding Bamogo's chin and pressed it on his carotid artery.
After a few seconds, he turned around and shook his head at Ella.
"died!"
Bamogo was tortured for seven days, but he couldn't take it anymore.
This mouthful of the Moon God Spring died before it could be fed.
He was actually aggrieved.
Obviously everything has been explained, but these elves just don't believe it!
He must say that he has a Tibetan slave spot where the elves are imprisoned!
Obviously it hasn't been done yet!
The most outrageous thing is that when he told the other party's source of intelligence, these dog elves didn't believe it either!
It's still up to him how to cry, beg for mercy, and speak loudly, the other party just doesn't believe it!
This is probably the true portrayal of confessing and being lenient, sitting in prison, resisting being strict, and going home for the New Year!
So Bamogo is actually particularly wronged.
When a person tells the truth and is not believed, there is real despair.
Not to mention this time when he was tortured and interrogated.
But now Bamogo is dead.
Anyway, this is the end of the matter.
Others involved in this incident did not know about Zong Shen.
"Ship it out and bury it."
After a long silence, Ella waved her hand.
It seems that she still has a high status in the eyes of the elves in the giant city of Rentax.
Saroyan nodded.
Withdrawing the dagger from his side, he slashed the hemp rope that bound Bamogo.
He wrapped his body in one arm and walked out of the stone room.
Ella was the only one left.
She picked up the disguised mask and slowly rubbed it.
"I feel the need to go."
"If both messages are provided by him."
"Then his purpose is worth looking into!"
"In addition, there are indeed many doubts about these strange settlements that appear on a large scale in the wilderness!"
Ella whispered to herself, as if she had made up her mind, got up and left the stone room!
...
Rentax, the central city, the castle of the Marquis of Lancaster.
In the study on the top floor of the manor castle, Henry Lancaster, the Marquis of Lancaster, is looking at the entire giant city from the terrace of the study.
Outside the castle is a grassy meadow and a garden with kiwi fruit.
Only the Marquis can have such an arrogant manor in a huge city with an inch of land.
This manor is like a pearl in the center of the giant city, and it is also like the eyes of the giant city.
Therefore, it is also called the Eye of the Giant City.
There are towering towers and sturdy towers on the periphery.
Teams of high-level elite warriors are cruising back and forth.
There is also a fifth-order detection tower at the top of the castle to detect the scope of the eye of the giant city.
Outside the Eye of the Giant City is the so-called first circle, where other great nobles live.
There is also a circle of towering tower defenses outside the circle.
Continuing to the outside is the second circle, where most of the small nobles and top businessmen live, and some are the barracks of the inner city garrison.
There is also a circle of defense lines outside.
As for the third and fourth circles, the layers are relatively loose.
These two circles have the largest area.
Even the third circle will gradually expand outward, compatible with part of the fourth circle.
In such a situation, the urban areas of the fourth circle layer are also increasing year by year.
Some fortresses originally set up on the periphery were incorporated into it.
For Henry the Marquis of Lancaster, it was a city growing!
Defense circles are also being built on the periphery of the city.
Mainly with a solid group of fighting fortresses, scattered to connect the entire periphery.
The clearings between the battle forts also belonged to those farmers and ranchers.
During the period, a small straight road was opened for patrolling troops to conduct fixed-point patrols.
In fact, it is not easy for people who want to sneak into the city from the outside.
The expansion of the fourth circle is extremely fast. The original battle fortresses and detection towers have been incorporated into the urban area and have not been abandoned. These battle fortresses have formed a scattered defense circle.
Even diving into the fourth and third circles is useless.
Getting into the second and first circle is the real difficulty.
Unless you mix in with the nobles.
There are third- or fourth-order detection towers next to each pass.
As for the Eye of the Giant City, where the Marquis Castle is located, it is even more heavily guarded.
The fifth-order detection tower will teach you how to be a human being in minutes.
The entire Rentates giant city is so loose on the outside and tight on the inside.
The reason why the city wall was not built on the entire periphery is mainly due to the problem of engineering volume and urban expansion.
The giant city of Rentates thousands of years ago was actually only as big as the first circle.
After continuous expansion, construction, expansion, and construction, we have the current situation.
Until the fourth circle of urban areas was formed, it became a big project to build a city tower.
It can be said that those circles are like the annual rings of the city, witnessing the development of the city.
The Marquis of Lancaster quietly looked at the outline of the giant city, thinking in his mind.
After a long time, a slender girl in a fancy dress walked behind him with a red cloak and put it on him lightly!
Bamogo and the Eye of the Elf are around chapter 270.
The second is a little later, after eleven o'clock.
