Chapter 488 Departure (Thanks to the Leader of Nakajima Kaze for the Reward)

More than a month later, in Baicheng, the highest-level dock area, an icy sea breeze blew from the distance.

If you look down from the top, the entire White City looks like a tall tower, extending straight upward until the sharp top is directly submerged into the turbulent ocean.

The sharp edges like a blade split the surging tide and penetrated shallowly into the sea.

Here, up and down seem to be an extremely vague concept.

As one of the few large-scale open borders in the world, the entire bustling city is like a mountain, with buildings stacked on top of each other, all the way to the dock area at the top, and even truly submerged into the endless sea above.

If you raise your head here, it will feel like you are hanging upside down. He could see the gray-black ocean being torn apart by the spire a few inches above his head, opening up and making a roaring sound.

If you lower your head, you can see the noisy city below you - like a sandcastle in front of the tide, as if it will be washed away and crushed by the sea water in the sky at any time.

The white towers set off the sea, and the whole world is purely black and white.

This is one of the famous attractions in Baicheng.

As a transit point for many routes, in order to minimize the handling and loading and unloading of goods, the creator was asked to repeatedly adjust and modify the frame here to form an extended gravity belt.

The miracle formed is the few meters of tower spire submerged under the sea.

The seemingly insignificant distance actually overlaps the entire border and the endless sea. Maintaining maximum contact without causing the frame to become unbalanced and trigger an all-round collapse.

This design is nothing short of exquisite.

Huai Shi had a great time taking photos here. After taking several photos with her scissor hands, which are specially designed for earthy tourists, she put away her mobile phone with satisfaction and dragged her luggage to the waiting area.

He has been here for more than half a month.

Different from the rush last time, this time I finally got to appreciate the customs of the border.

As one of the top five prosperous cities among countless borders, the residents of Baicheng have a wonderful sense of superiority towards people from the current border and other borders.

After learning that Huai Shi came from the current situation, there was always a very restrained enthusiasm in his expression. It’s like saying: Ah, since you’re here, let’s have fun and take a walk, it’s a good thing to broaden your horizons...

After getting used to the existence of the endless sea, it is difficult for people here to imagine the empty sky.

There are only a few coral clouds floating here and there, wouldn't it feel empty?

Without a lid, it always feels like it will fall off.

Different from the current balance of source matter, here, the abundance of source matter will always fluctuate, forming a cyclical phenomenon like a tide. In addition, leaving the central area of ​​the Zarathustra Mystery, there is more often no strong suppression by the Silver Sea, and a series of other reasons, resulting in the success rate of the border sublimators being much higher than Current situation.

Even people who have never been sublimated still have abundant source of essence.

Even with the exception of some border races, most of the physical structures are no different from the current situation, but they can still be distinguished at a glance.

At least the locals can tell them apart, and even people from different borders can immediately determine the origin of each other based on experience and feeling after contacting each other.

However, judgments often make mistakes. After all, this kind of thing is often not very reliable unless the features and accent are very obvious.

The various border cultures are really eye-opening, including the food.

Contrary to his expectation, the local people did not eat seafood, but highly regarded vegetarian food.

It's normal if you think about it carefully. The Endless Sea looks liquid, but it is still very different from sea water. Basically, no normal fish creatures can live comfortably in it.

What can be caught on a large scale is either unpalatable or poisonous. If you accidentally catch something terrible, the entire boat may be dragged into the sea.

Moreover, it is also mixed with abyssal sediment. If you eat it for a long time, your whole body may suddenly solidify and turn into an erosion species, grow gills and jump into the sea... Of course, this is just an urban legend in Baicheng.

The source of the legend is probably the mermaid tribe wandering in the ocean above, right?

This large group recruited from the abyss by Baicheng is actually a security force hired by Baicheng. They have been working for Baicheng for more than two hundred years, which is longer than the existence of some local families. It can be said that they have become Part of the White City.

Huaishi often saw burly Naga warriors and patrols with scales and gills behind their ears on the street.

As a rare intelligent group in the abyss, some of their members are even smarter than most humans.

It's just that the environment in which they grew up meant that they didn't care about the complex knowledge of humans. Of course, there were also many beings that were assimilated by humans.

For example, in the hotel that Huaishi booked, the lobby manager mysteriously gave him a business card from the ninth floor, hinting that if he couldn't sleep at night, there was a place where he could chat about life with young ladies of all races. …

Huai Shi was actually eager to go and have a look. Well, it was purely out of confusion about life and wanting to hear some experiences.

Besides, he just had a look and it didn’t cost him any money!

But every time he looked back and saw the mysteriously smiling crow on his shoulder, he wisely suppressed this thought.

Integrity is a good thing. Once you throw it away, you can't get it back.

With the low sound of the clock in the waiting area, Huaishi's half-month trip to Baicheng is about to come to an end.

This made him extremely incredible.

Although the past six months have been uneventful, compared with a year ago, it is surprisingly calm. But this time after staying at the border for so long, he didn't get involved in any messy things...

No one fell from the sky, no bombs suddenly exploded, and even the black-hearted businessmen who occasionally encountered two rip-offs only wanted to cheat him out of a few dollars.

Too safe!

This made Huai Shi feel extremely uneasy, fearing that she would make big news for him before she left.

Huai Shi had not come back to her senses until the waiter walked into the lounge and told him that the special line from the Ivory Tower was about to arrive.

He looked up and looked around the lounge in disbelief.

The old man sitting in the corner who felt extremely gloomy, the waiter behind the counter who occasionally peeked at him, and the few men hurriedly passing by with menacing eyes outside the luxurious lounge, as well as those sitting across from him at the table. The middle-aged tourist who was playing cards with him enthusiastically...

There is a sense of loss that some tasks have not been triggered.

Did I make a mistake?

However, nothing happened until he picked up his luggage and left.

And just after he walked out of the lounge, the gloomy old man in the corner immediately seemed to have collapsed. He slumped on the chair and breathed a sigh of relief.

The waiter who secretly spied on Huai Shi watched the young man go away, then spied on the next guest who walked in. He pursed his lips and swallowed.

In the distance, the sounds of fighting resounded. The ferocious Ascended Ones who had just passed by in a hurry actually had a conflict with the Naga warriors. In the vague chaos, there was an unknown figure with a thin body stuffed in his arms. Unknowingly, I boarded a cargo ship from afar and left silently.

In this way, without realizing it, he passed by the real-life felon who escaped from prison, the serial killer looking for his target, the fanatic believer who was preparing to launch a blood sacrifice to attack, and the thief who stole the treasures of the White City... and so on.

Huaishi finally saw the dedicated line coming to greet him.

A...truck.

At the end of the weird twisting corridor, with the subtle changes in gravity, the endless sea has moved from the top of the head to the bottom of the foot.

Huai Shi stood at the edge of the pier, dumbfounded as she watched layers of bubbles pop up in the sea water in front of her.

Immediately afterwards, a huge truck rose up on all four wheels.

It was like an accident of accidentally falling into the sea.

When Huaishi hesitated and wanted to call the police for rescue, the large truck stopped firmly on the sea like a drunken man turning over from the curb.

Although water is still dripping down, the level of fantasy has returned to the range that ordinary people can accept.

A bearded man stuck his head out from behind the glass in the cab, looked down, and saw the young man on the pier. He looked down at the list in his hand and suddenly realized: "Mr. Huai, right? I am Raymond, the driver who came to pick you up and take you to the Ivory Tower..."

"Ah, hello, hello."

Huai Shi quickly raised her hand and shook hands with Raymond, who had half of his body crawling out from behind the window.

In the polite manner, the two of them raised their eyebrows at the same time and felt the calluses on each other's fingers.

Heavy weapons, profound attainments, judging from the distribution of calluses and the focus of the muscle groups on the palms, it should be a long weapon... a lance? Giant scythe? A long-handled flail? hammer? Or a Roman halberd?

Thoughts were racing, but the handshake was instantaneous, and the two smiled tacitly.

Immediately afterwards, Raymond looked behind Huai Shi: "Doctor Ye? Are you here too?"

Huai Shi frowned, then turned around in surprise, only to realize that there was someone behind him without realizing it - it was the passenger who was playing cards with him in the lounge.

The middle-aged man known as Doctor Ye had a vicissitude of life, but his eyes were quiet and soft, and his conversation was quite gentle and soft-spoken, which left a very good impression on Huai Shi.

The two of them sat very close to each other in the lounge, and during the long break they played two Wanshi Cards to relieve their boredom. Unexpectedly, they were fellow travelers.

"Hello, let me introduce you formally. My surname is Ye, Ye Su. I am the school doctor of Ivory Tower."

Doctor Ye took off his hat and smiled warmly: "You must be Mr. Huaishi who just came this semester, right? I have admired his name for a long time, and it is a great honor to meet him today."

"Where there."

Although she felt something was wrong, Huai Shi still shook hands with him politely: "I am lucky to be able to meet my colleagues in advance."

After a few polite words, the two people stepped onto the ramp that unfolded in the huge cargo box of the truck.

The cargo box turned out to be a long and narrow hall with elegant decoration. It was much larger than it looked from the outside, and the layout was quite comfortable.

Perhaps because she disliked the two of them for wasting too much time outside, Huai Shi heard a cold snort coming from the sofa in the hall before she sat down.
