Chapter 1118 Chaos in the Outer City
Chaos has eroded the Ring Alliance, or the Ring Alliance simply doesn't care whether it is surrounded by order or chaos. When "THE·CHE" walked out of the halo door of the passage, he was startled by the dazzling chaos in front of him.
There was once a quip about sending urban management to conquer island countries. But if all the urban management are really sent out, the island country will be doomed, but the city without the urban management will also be doomed. This is the case for the Ring Alliance, at least on the periphery. Zhao Mai's car was parked on a straight and wide avenue that ran through the entire city and led to the "big supermarket" of the Ring Alliance. Now it is occupied by various randomly built shops, hotels, and casinos. Red, pink, yellow and purple lights formed a hazy band over the street, making it difficult to see the drunkards, garbage and various suspicious liquids below.
Zhao Mai was very glad that he had a car. The strong car shell separated the two worlds inside and outside, preventing him from being harmed by the atmosphere here. Except for the periphery of the large supermarket in the Ring Alliance, there are no plants visible here. As for animals, apart from all kinds of human beings, the most common animal is the beetle that crawls in and out of the garbage. For Zhao Mai, a druid, the chaotic urban environment will definitely make him feel uncomfortable.
"I don't like it here." Xiaohua said the same. Duojian looked out the window and frowned. The situation here was obviously beyond her imagination. The surrounding houses are all made of the cheapest and simplest materials, and their style is not as random as that of chaotic Athas, let alone Westeros. There is no drainage system in sight, and no one is seen clearing away garbage. How do people live here? A guy with a zebra head threw a vial into the garbage pile. With colorful mist rising and garbage beetles escaping in all directions, the pile of stuff was decomposed into a viscous liquid by the alchemy potion. The zebra man ignored the liquid and returned to his casino after snorting twice. Duojian couldn't believe it. How could this be the most important place in the multiverse?
Just during the moment when they were in a daze, the car was already stared at by many people, and strong, reckless creatures with ferocious smiles surrounded them. Zhao Mai instantly felt as if he had just left the train station, "Would you like to stay in a hotel? Do you want a car? Do you want to eat..." He gently stepped on the accelerator and drove out with a whoosh before they could close up.
There are too many obstacles on the road, and this place does not allow cars to fly or dodge! Zhao Mai's cell phone buzzed, and a long message welcoming him to the Ring Alliance popped up. Do not look at your mobile phone while driving. This is the most basic safety rule. Duojian reached out, took away the phone and started reading, while Zhao Mai had to concentrate on avoiding various obstacles on the road.
"Hey! There are still people who touch porcelain!" Zhao Mai's reaction was so quick, and his heart was so cold. He could avoid it but he would never stop. Carts appear suddenly, shelves can be brought down by a gust of wind, and various creatures snake like snakes in the middle of the road. Zhao Mai pressed the horn, which attracted these people to swarm over.
"Here, except for being difficult to destroy, all other functions of transportation are temporarily blocked." Duojian finished reading the text message and told Zhao Mai: "Because this is a place where multiverse travelers gather, random transmission is prohibited. The Ring Alliance apologizes for the chaos outside the city and hopes everyone can enter the city as soon as possible."
"Going into the city? Then there should be something like a city wall or a checkpoint. I didn't see any of these." Zhao Mai saw that the road ahead was completely blocked by a human barrier, leaving no room for the car to pass through, so he had no choice but to Sigh. He put his hand on the ceiling, and the realm of the Kingdom of God merged with the car's shell, thus opening up the channel for power transmission. The psychic power enveloped the car from the inside out, causing it to fly into the air.
The car smashed into a haphazardly constructed roof and knocked away an iron signboard that read "Beauty and the Fish Pot" before arriving at the open and stable sky. The car can't fly on its own, but Zhao Mai's power can still make it fly and get out of trouble. Sighs came from the chaotic streets, and everyone dispersed in disappointment, leaving the wide road open again.
The true appearance of the Ring Alliance can be seen more clearly from the air. Xiacheng District, or the haphazardly built commercial district, stretches for more than ten kilometers, and is cut off by a circle of white stone pillars at the end. These stone pillars vary in height, thickness, and style. The only thing they have in common is that there is a blazing fire at the top of the stone pillars. The inner side of this circle of stone pillars is the clean and neat headquarters of the Ring Alliance, and the outer side is "another group of worlds".
The place where Zhao Mai drove down had a bit of a sword and magic style, while next door was industrial steampunk and a tropical rainforest. Surrounding the central alliance of rings, there are heavens, hells, and all kinds of human worlds, just like a dial, filling up the sectors in all directions. He just happened to drive by the sword and sorcery area, and after all, this side does not represent the entire multiverse.
Looking across the circle formed by the stone pillars, I saw that the inside really looked like a large supermarket. In the huge "parking lot", all kinds of ferry tools are available, and Zhao Mai also saw an octopus monster riding a rainbow pony. All ferrymen must park their tools in place, regardless of their size, and will be scaled into a three-by-three-meter white frame. Then, a metal card the size of a business card will pop up from the self-service parking meter next to the box line, which should be used when retrieving transportation.
At the same time, this card is also a pass to enter the Ring Alliance. Every door seems to have to be opened by reading the card's information. Although it was Zhao Mai's first time here, he could still complete these simple tasks after watching other people's actions. He got a blue Lord's card with the guarantee information of the Continental Hotel and the contact information of the relevant ministries. The only thing that surprised Zhao Mai was the number displayed in the upper right corner of the card: eight hundred and thirty-two, which was exactly the number of destiny gold coins he owned.
Selling the Beast Priesthood brought Zhao Mai's destiny gold coins to a peak, reaching 1,058. Later, most of them were replaced with various items such as area denyer armor, and at one time they dropped to about 500. Tai Xi'an of Atas collected a lot of gold coins for Zhao Mai. Xiaohua took all the bonus coins with her in the car after she went back, which brought the total to 832.
Thinking about the high tolls set by Ilúvatar in order to protect the original world, but it still couldn't stop the rich people's enthusiasm for traveling, Zhao Mai knew that having more than 800 gold coins was definitely not rich, so he had to save some money. . But before he followed the others to the entrance, a spherical structure floating in the air flew in front of him.
It is a gray metal ball with six slender antennas like six legs. The two mechanical arms are now folded into the grooves under the body. The flowing liquid metal outlines a smiley symbol on the surface of the ball. "Welcome to the Ring Alliance Headquarters for the first time. In the product exchange directory provided by the Ring Alliance, the Headquarters Guide Elf is an item that is very suitable for your current needs. You can easily search for it."
Is there such a thing? Zhao Mai looked for it on his mobile phone and found that it was indeed available. It was officially produced by the Alliance of Rings and only cost four gold coins. It could provide comprehensive guide services and help handle various workflows with the Alliance of Rings. Zhao Mai thought for a while and realized that these four gold coins should still be spent, so he applied to exchange them for one.
He pressed the redemption button, and the constructed ball made a clear jingling sound, and said: "Guide Elf, Norton Type 2, we are at your service wholeheartedly."
Uh, has this constructed ball thought of a way to sell itself?
