Chapter 38 Guarded City

It is a large machine built entirely of wood. There is a large vertical hole in the center of the room. The machine stands inside and goes all the way to the depths of the hole, possibly all the way to the bottom of the hole, but it is very dark down there and you can't see the bottom. There is a large upright wheel in the center of the machine, with a transmission belt connected by wooden pieces wrapped around the wheel, which looks a bit like tank tracks. This wooden drive belt comes up from the hole below and goes around the big wheel and back into the hole below. There is a protruding platform at intervals on this transmission belt, which is roughly enough area for two people to stand.

"Is this...a waterwheel?" The thing in front of me looks like a giant waterwheel. The waterwheel has a strange shape. Children in the city may not have seen this thing before. It is different from a windmill, which uses wind power to drive machinery. This thing relies on human or animal power to pump water. But if you look carefully, the thing in front of you doesn't look like a waterwheel. Waterwheels are generally not that big, and this kind of platform should not be used on the transmission belt of the waterwheel. It should be a container that can hold water, or a scoop-shaped object with a certain depression. Anyway, it cannot be this kind of flat plate. Besides, the water wheel does not pump water vertically upward! That thing is usually tilted, and it cannot be used if the slope is too high.

Ziyue studied it for a long time and said: "I think it is an elevator using the same structure as a waterwheel."

When Ziyue said this, I felt like it. Once the big wheel rotates, the flat plate on the transmission belt becomes the elevator floor, and it goes up and down on one side, just like an elevator. "Can't we just go down like this? There might be a large number of orcs guarding us down there."

"It doesn't matter. It's so dark down there, so obviously no one is guarding it. If anyone is there, they should have a torch."

I stretched my head and looked down, and it was indeed pitch black. This 'elevator' cannot be so deep that light cannot reach it. The only possibility is that it is indeed dark down there. "By the way, I have scouts. How could I forget?" I pulled out a silver feather and threw it down. The feather immediately turned into a steel silver bee and flew to the bottom of the cave. Go down. We walked around it, and it was just a military observation post. There were no weapons or anything. The Steel Silver Bee that went down quickly came up again, and the news it brought back was as expected, there was no one down there.

Since there was no one around, we didn't have to worry about being discovered. We stood on the side of the 'elevator' with Ziyue, but it didn't move. Ordinarily the gravity of the two of us should be enough to make it start turning.

"What happened to this thing?" Ziyue asked. "You don't need someone below to do it, right?"

"I don't think this thing has a complicated structure! Is there a device to prevent reversal?"

"It's possible. Go over and try."

As soon as we stood on the opposite platform, the wheels really started to spin, and our side quickly dropped down. Maybe the two of us were too heavy, so the thing fell a little faster. As soon as we reached the bottom, Ziyue pulled me out and jumped out. The 'elevator' rotated for a while before stopping.

There is also a tunnel below, and it is much longer than the one above. I sent a blood butterfly to the front to see if there was any danger. The blood butterfly flew slower than the Steel Silver Bee, but it made no sound when it flew. We didn't come down just now. It would be faster to let the Steel Silver Bee come down to see if it is faster. We will have to be more cautious when we come down. Blood Butterfly is safer.

Ziyue and I carefully walked out against the wall, with the blood butterfly exploring the way in front. We arrived at the entrance of the cave very smoothly. There was no guard in such a long passage. It was really unbelievable. How could an orc make such a stupid mistake? Although this group has always been thoughtless, it's not that stupid, right?

Anyway, we arrived at the exit of the passage safely. Ziyue and I carefully hid in the shadow of the cave entrance and looked out. Good guy, outside the cave is a huge orc tribe. As far as our eyes can see, we can see thousands of orcs and buildings. This is the size of a medium-sized city. How could the Dragon Clan allow so many orcs? What about living here? Could it be that the Asian dragons have a good relationship with Steel Claw and Phoenix Dragon, but the European dragons like orcs and undead? Is the gap too big?

"Don't move here, I'll go check out the situation." I said to Ziyue in as low a voice as possible.

Ziyue held me back. "I will go with you."

"I can become invisible, but it's inconvenient to take you with me."

"Then be careful."

"As long as you don't get discovered." After saying that, I pulled the cloak and my whole body was covered by the cloak. After activating the invisibility, I immediately disappeared from Ziyue's sight.

After feeling out of the cave, he moved towards the edge of the village, quickly ran to a fence, turned over and jumped over. The half-orcs inside were walking around in front of me, but none of them noticed me. The Phantom Cloak is not junk equipment, and its invisibility effect is quite good. After a few half-orcs passed by me, I quickly crossed the street and entered the opposite room. This seems to be a blacksmith shop, with a large number of weapons piled in the corner of the room, and blacksmithing tools such as hammers and pliers hung on the walls.

Jumping out of the back window of the room seemed to have entered a workshop. Many tools were placed on the ground, and many half-orcs were busy working on it. Are they preparing for war? Who are you fighting on Dragon Island? Is it possible to fight a dragon? The orcs here have 10 dragons and they are all defeated. There is no way they can fight dragons. Who could that be?

"Wow wow wow...!" A half-orc suddenly ran in and said something in an incomprehensible language before running out. What Phantom helped me translate was that the half-orc called the other half-orcs to eat.

All the orcs in the workshop shouted and ran out of the other door. They were really positive. I carefully waited until they all left before running outside the room and taking a look inside. These guys were all squatting in the room and eating from broken bowls. The so-called food was all black and sticky, almost like glutinous rice paste. The sight of it made them appetite, but these guys actually ate very happily.

He looked at the window sill next to him, used it to get on the roof, and quickly jumped from this roof to the roof next to him. Normally no one would pay attention to the roof, not to mention that I am currently invisible. Although there are some flaws in my movement, it is not easy to notice. The houses of these orcs are all made of quite good wood and stone. They do not look like the ordinary orc tribes that are all broken houses. This shows that these orcs do not simply use this place as a temporary residence, they build it as a city. Generally speaking, orcs rarely build cities unless they feel that the place they live is unsafe, but they do not want to move. But I think the orcs here probably have another reason.

Jumped from the roof to the center of the city. There was a towering castle here, shaped like a rocket standing there, but it looked ugly. The aesthetics of the orcs were as bad as their appearance.

Suddenly, I noticed an Orc wearing full body armor walking over not far away. Looking at the cloak hanging behind him and the heavily armed Orcs following behind, I could tell that this was a leader, and he was probably the ruler here.

This leader walked very fast and looked very anxious. He was tall and had long steps. Almost all the soldiers behind him were trotting after him. I saw this guy walking into the rocket-like building. The soldiers did not follow him but lined up at the door to guard him.

The guy had only entered for more than a minute when a rapid bell suddenly sounded from the top of the Rocket. There was a harsh sound like metal scraping glass from somewhere in the city, and then several big black guys rose up from the city. "Hell's Flying Dragon King?" Those giant beasts turned out to be the Hell's Flying Dragon King, which is one of the most annoying creatures of the dragon clan. Dragons hate flying dragons just like humans hate bed bugs, they just want to exterminate them all.

After the Flying Dragon King took off, some small things flew up from the edge of the city in the distance. It seemed that the population of this city was more than 5 million. The size of the city was underestimated at first. By activating the Star Pupil, it is easy to see the shapes of those little things. These are clearly Thunder Eagles, belonging to the ally of the Orcs.

"Roar...!" There was a loud noise, and a golden creature appeared in the distance. He immediately turned his gaze and saw a furry golden creature. It has a boar-like head and walks semi-upright like an orangutan. Its long tusks and sharp claws, as well as its height of seven to eight meters and golden hair all mark its identity - Behemoth Giant. Beast King.

That Behemoth King was no mere commander. Behind it appeared more than a dozen white-haired Behemoths. These were all adult Behemoths. Although they were slow in movement, their attack and defense were quite terrifying. They were known as the Moving Castle. The white hair is a sign of adulthood. Underage Behemoth has earthy brown hair. As he grows older, the color of his hair will continue to turn white. You know Completely white.

The main forces of the Orcs are basically here. If there are Ogres and Cyclops, it will be a standard Orc army. As soon as I thought about these two arms, I saw some taller houses in the city opened, and ogres came out one after another. Several large stone doors were opened on the mountain side of the passage Ziyue and I had just come down from, and groups of Cyclops came out of them.

Orc army! What is this for?

Suddenly the howl of wolves came from the side valley, and a large black flood rushed out from the mountain. When I looked carefully, I found that it was not a flood but a mass of demon wolves, black giant demon wolves. After these demonic wolves rushed into the city, they rushed to the edge of the house as if they knew the way. After a while, the armed orcs in the room came out one by one, turned over and jumped on the wolf's back. Depend on! Wolf Knight!

A large number of troops quickly gathered in the square in the center of the city, and soon the orc leader just walked out. He babbled something on the high platform outside the castle, and then the entire orc army began to turn around and drive towards the inside of the island. It looks like this is going to be a war. The orc army that was assembled just now has about 700,000 to 800,000 people. Who is such a large group of troops going to fight?

No matter what they do, the city is much deserted now. I didn't expect that there were ogres and some magical beasts living in the city. In other words, although this city can accommodate 5 million people, there are actually not 5 million orcs, only 00,000 at most. Nearly half of the orcs left at once, and the rest in the city are old, weak, women and children. I was mixed up without paying attention just now, but now I realize that half-orcs also have a female gender, but this female half-orc is really no different from the male half-orc, just as ugly!

Turn around, jump over a few buildings and return to the edge of the city, then jump off the ground and return to where Ziyue was just now.

"You are finally back. What happened to the bell just now?"

"It's the orc troops gathering together. It seems they are fighting someone. Seven or eight million people came out. It's such a large scale! Fortunately, we didn't rush in just now, otherwise so many troops would trample them to death!"

As soon as Ziyue picked me up, I ran away. "Then we'll just run with them. Come on, hurry up!"

"Wait a minute! Why are you following him?"

"You idiot! There are monsters everywhere in front of us. If we follow them, there will be nothing. If there are monsters, they will encounter them first!"

"What you said makes sense. But don't we need to take a hostage and interrogate him?"

"What are you asking about? Being able to reach the central area of ​​Dragon Island is victory. We'll talk about other things later. Besides, war is the most chaotic thing in the world. Isn't it easy to catch two soldiers by then?"

"Yes." I immediately called Emenes out, and a large sheltered area easily solved the problem of hiding the two of us. Riding Yeying and riding directly through the city, no one can see it anyway. As for the sound...don't you know that Yeying is a nightmare? How can a nightmare fall asleep if it can't hide the sound of its own Mercedes!

The two of us arrogantly crossed the entire city from the central street. The army in front had not gone far, so we slowly followed them. The orc leader was at the back of the team, and we could see all his actions. They couldn't see us anyway, so we deliberately got very close.

Suddenly, a bad wolf knight ran up ahead. The knight jumped off the wolf's back and said something to the leader. During this period, the knight's mount kept looking towards us. It seemed that the wolf's nose was better. We took the initiative to stop and distance ourselves for safety reasons.

After the knight finished his report, the leader issued a series of orders, and then the Orc Legion suddenly began to speed up and trot forward. It was probably because the battle situation ahead was tight and they needed to speed up their arrival. This is exactly what I want. I want to see what kind of force the orcs are fighting.

The team advanced for a while and then suddenly stopped. I turned on the invisibility function of my cloak and left the invisible protection area. After rising into the air, I discovered that there was a valley in front of me. Because the road was narrow, the passage of the troops was somewhat blocked, so I stopped and waited for the troops in front to pass. This place is a good place for an ambush.

Go back down below and tell Ziyue what I saw. Ziyue suggested that the two of us go from the slope on the side of the valley to the top of the valley and cross over directly without waiting for the orc army. It was good to have them 'escort' us all the way.

I agreed to this suggestion and took Ziyue up the cliff on the left. This place seemed flatter than the one on the right, so I chose this side. We were not the only ones who reached the top of the mountain. The orcs were not fools either. A large number of scouts were already standing on the hillside. This kind of valley is most vulnerable to ambushes, so they sent people up the mountain to guard it in advance, so that it would be much safer for the troops to pass.

The scouts are just ordinary Wolf Knights, they can't see through our invisibility. Although Yeying can fly, it is still very hard to climb the mountain with two people, so we walked up instead of riding horses. As I was walking, I suddenly felt as if I bumped into something, and there was a thud followed by a soft cry. I just took two steps back, but there was a thud in front of me, as if something big fell to the ground. I felt like I bumped into someone, but there was nothing in front of me! Could it be that someone is using invisibility like us? He quickly pulled Ziyue back several steps.

The Wolf Knight was not far away. Ziyue didn't dare to speak directly, so she had to ask me in a chat: "What's wrong with you?"

"Be careful, someone nearby used invisibility. I just collided with him. It seems to be a humanoid creature. It should not be a power type. It was easily knocked down by me."

"Don't you have counter-reconnaissance? Look at something!"

"Don't be nervous, bumping into me means he can't see us either."

After activating Xingtong's camouflage recognition ability, I was able to see it. Right in front of us, a beautiful human girl was standing with her waist bent a few meters in front of us. She was rubbing her nose with one hand and rubbing her butt with the other hand. It seemed that these were the sequelae of the impact just now. At this time, she was looking around nervously with her two big eyes, obviously she couldn't see us. Since she couldn't see us and used invisibility, she must have used invisibility to protect herself from the orcs, so now she didn't dare to make a sound after being hit. Thanks to the strong wind on the top of the mountain, her previous voice was drowned out.

hehe! She couldn't see us but I could see her. It was really interesting. Ziyue asked me again: "Have you discovered him?"

"I saw it. It's right in front of us. Look over there, next to the grass where she fell asleep. There are the marks left by her feet."

"Well, I saw it. What is he?"

"It's a human, but I can't tell if it's a player or an NPC. It looks like it's Asian."

"Since we are humans, we should be able to communicate. Let's go over and ask."

"Okay. Just stand still." I summoned Amynis again. "Emenis, stay with Ziyue. Give us both an invisibility spell. I'm going to leave for a while."

Emenes fixed the invisibility spell for us without even waving his hand. I carefully moved to the side of that mm. It seemed to be a mage. It would be fine if I got closer. Anyway, the wind was very loud here. If I didn't get close, I had to shout loudly. I didn't want those wolf knights to hear. "Miss."

My voice immediately made her shrink nervously and stare in my direction.

"Don't be nervous." I wanted to comfort her but didn't know what to say because I didn't even know her identity yet! "Can I ask first if you are a player?"

The little girl immediately felt more relaxed after hearing this. "I'm a player. Who are you? I can't see you!"

"I have the invisibility spell fixed on my body, so of course you can't see me."

"But I also have the invisibility spell, and you seem to be able to see me."

"I have equipment to detect invisibility. It's normal to see you."

"Oh! So just now...?"

"I didn't turn on the invisibility detection function just now. It consumes magic power to activate. I don't turn it on often. Who knew that I could bump into invisible people while walking on the top of a mountain? I thought I was the only one invisible!"

"I was scared to death just now. I was walking well and there was nothing around me but suddenly I bumped into something. It was really scary!"

"What are you doing up here?"

"Since you are a player, you are definitely not the helper of the guys below. I will tell you later. It is not convenient to talk here. I am performing a task now. I will take you down with you after I finish the task. I also have many questions for you. Something." The girl stretched out her hand in the direction of my voice, but slightly tilted: "My nickname is Youya Maiden, you can call me Youya. I am Chinese. What about you?"

"Purple Sun, Chinese."

"Comrade!"

"Shh...!" This girl was almost exposed.

"Sorry." The little girl stuck out her tongue, looking very cute. She suddenly became serious. "Wait a minute." She quickly left my side and quickly approached the cliff. When she passed by the Wolf Knight, the wolf turned and looked in her direction, but the strong wind also interfered with the spread of the smell, and the Wolf Finally he turned his head back.

Youya stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down. Then she suddenly took out a scroll and threw it to the bottom of the cliff. The Wolf Knight didn't notice the scroll, and it fell down smoothly. I also approached the cliff and stretched my head to look at the scroll. It looked like it was a magic scroll. Now that I know the name, I just use the SiLiao system. "Youya, what did you throw?"

She didn't answer but just watched which scroll fell. Halfway down, a small white flower suddenly opened on the scroll - a parachute? The parachute does not act as a buffer but to pull out the reel. As soon as the parachute is opened, the reel is pulled apart. Seeing the umbrella flowers open, Youya immediately said: "Run quickly." Then she turned around and ran away.

I quickly followed and informed Ziyue and the others to stay away from the cliff. The scroll I went down just now is probably quite powerful, otherwise Youya wouldn't have let me run away. Because the sound of running away was not as quiet as before, the Wolf Knight noticed us. But a loud noise suddenly erupted in the canyon, and the mountains on both sides shook. The Wolf Knight had no time to pay attention to the small sound we made just now. His attention was immediately attracted by the sound below the cliff, but he hadn't come yet. When he reached the edge of the cliff, a large crack suddenly appeared in the soil under his feet, and then a piece of land as big as a car was completely peeled off from the main body of the cliff and began to fall downwards. The wolf stepped down by the Wolf Knight suddenly turned around and jumped over, but it couldn't jump far with a knight on its back, not to mention that the falling ground was not an ideal platform for jumping. Only the front paws of this wolf could reach the edge of the cliff. When its body tilted, the knight on its back fell off, but the wolf climbed up with the power of its claws. The wolf that came up turned around and looked down to find the knight. Ziyue and I walked behind it. I stretched out my fingers and made a three-two-one sign, and then the two of us raised our feet to touch up on its butt. The evil wolf didn't expect to be attacked by surprise, so it couldn't stop and fell from the edge of the cliff to accompany its master. After successfully kicking the wolf off the cliff, Ziyue and I gave a tacit high-five to celebrate.

We are not the only ones who have just collapsed. A large chunk of the surrounding mountains has collapsed, and none of the row of Wolf Knights who were standing on the edge of the cliff just now is gone. The same thing happened on the cliff opposite us. Many Wolf Knights fell down. In fact, the most serious collapse was on the opposite side. The entire top of the mountain collapsed. It is estimated that no one of the many people on it would be left alive.

At this time, those passing below were probably ogres and Cyclops troops. The collapsed mountain completely buried the passage below. I don't know how many monsters were buried in the canyon. Since there was no one left, I asked Emmenis to remove the invisibility from all of us. Youya ran over immediately when she saw me. "So you are like this? This armor is so beautiful! Why don't you take off the mask?"

Ziyue and I pushed away the masks together, and she screamed before she could say anything. "It turns out they are twins!"

I looked at Ziyue, "I'm afraid I can't explain this problem at the moment. I suggest we leave here first. The orcs below will definitely come up to check."

"Yes, we should run quickly." Youya pointed to the other side of the mountain. "You can see our city over the top of the mountain. We will be safe when we get to the city. This sneak attack was so successful that they can't break through our defense line."

"How far is it?"

"It's only a two-hour walk away. It's not very far."

"It's not far off!"

I waved my hand to summon luck but was held back by Ziyue. "I'll do it. Skyfire." The giant dragon Skyfire immediately appeared in front of us. "Come up."

Youya seemed surprised to see Tianhuo, but quickly recovered. The three of us got on the back of Tianhuo, and Ziyue gave an order to let Tianhuo rise into the sky. After flipping in the air, he immediately flew towards the mountain. The city built on the mountain is very conspicuous and can be seen from a long distance. Skyfire aimed at the city and swooped over, taking advantage of the height of the mountain to glide all the way over.

Between the foot of the mountain and the city is a large plain. At this time, a large number of chaotic troops on the plain are fighting. It seems that it is not just humans fighting against orcs. Everyone soon noticed the giant dragon flying in the sky, and all the troops stopped almost at the same time. It seemed that they were surprised. I really don’t understand what’s so strange about seeing dragons on Dragon Island, but what’s so strange about these creatures being here!

Skyfire quickly glided into the sky above the city and then flapped its wings forward a few times before landing firmly on the ground. Before we even got off Tianhuo's back, we were surrounded by a large group of people, and Youya jumped down immediately. "Don't be nervous, we are not enemies."

After hearing what she said, everyone put away their weapons, but no one left. Instead, more and more people gathered around. Youya turned around and said to us: "You'd better put that dragon away, otherwise no one will be able to resist the enemy in a while."

Ziyue immediately withdrew the sky fire, and the people around her slowly dispersed. We were taken to a building at the highest point in the city, where many people were busy coming in and out. A huge map was hung on the wall, and a sand table in the center of the hall showed that this was a command center.

"Virgin? Are you back?" A white knight came over.

Youya said angrily: "How many times have I told you, don't call me a virgin. Call me Youya."

"But I think virgins are more sexy!" the guy said with a smile.

Youya said one word at a time: "I said, if anyone calls me a virgin again, I will...!" She immediately rushed forward, pushed the knight to the ground and beat him violently, and then kicked him a few times. While kicking, he muttered: "Remember to call me Youya."

Ziyue and I were sweating as we watched. Can this be called Youya? So can those like Purple Moon and Red Moon be considered ladies?

Youya stood up and stretched her arms. "Ah! I asked you why I don't feel well today. It turns out I forgot about Bian Ren!" She seemed to have completely forgotten about us, and only ran back when she saw us. "I'm sorry, you two, ignore him. He's just like that. He doesn't feel well without being beaten." Look at the guy lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth, his limbs twisted in strange ways, and one hand still raised on his head, twitching. It looks really miserable.

"Your way of greeting is so special!" I smiled so stiffly.

"Youya." Suddenly a voice came from the other end of the hall.

Youya said immediately as if she was possessed by a demon: "Here." Then she floated over like a gust of wind.

A handsome man wearing knight armor walked over from there. At first glance, he looked Chinese, but he seemed to have European ancestry, probably mixed blood. The knight walked up to us, and elegantly followed him like a beautiful bird, with his head lowered and not daring to say a word.

"Hello, I am Wentian, the president of the Brotherhood. I heard that some of you have dragons, right?"

"Hello." I introduced Ziyue and I respectively. "We both have dragons."

"What a great gathering. I didn't expect that you are also the guild leaders. By the way, how many people are here this time?"

"It's just the two of us, what's wrong?"

"What? Just the two of you?" Wentian was a little surprised at first but quickly calmed down. "I'm asking how many people there were when you went to the island?"

"When we arrived on the island, there were 6 of them. What happened?" I didn't understand why he cared about this issue.

"Six?" This time Wentian almost shouted. "You mean you're here after only 4 people died?"

"No. After the six of us landed on the island, four of us were left to guard our ship. Only the two of us came in."

"You managed to get here unscathed just by relying on the strength of two people?" Wentian's tone clearly didn't believe it.

Ziyue added: "It's not the two of us, but him alone. I basically didn't take any action on the way, he took care of it all by himself."

"Don't be ridiculous, how could you get here by just one person?"

We Wentian chatted for a while and asked the genius about their situation: "We were in the Novice Village after entering the game like ordinary players, but after leveling up, we left the Novice Village and ended up here. We didn't know where this place was at first. The monsters we encounter during leveling are all very powerful. Fortunately, the monsters here have high experience points and level up quickly after killing them. But we still can't leave the city. Without those NPC guards, we can't even defend the city.

Later, when everyone reached a higher level, they began to want to explore the surrounding areas, but the power of a single person was limited, so everyone formed a guild. The goal of our guild is to explore this area to confirm our location. In order to figure out what exactly this place is, we also used the account to recreate the character experience. As a result, the trumpet that everyone rebuilt was on a normal continent. There were normal country maps there. There were many cities in a country, and cities could be connected to each other through teleportation arrays. But there is only our city here, and the only use of the teleportation array is to use the city return scroll to return here.

Later we found some problems. First of all, the monsters here are much higher than those on the normal map. It is easy to kill monsters and upgrade, but the monsters are relatively difficult to deal with, and their basic levels are very high. Also, we used the trumpet to find that the various countries are separated on the normal map. On the forum, we found that the channels between countries will not be opened until the national war. But our players here come from all over the world, and our guild is like the United Nations. "

Ziyue interjected: "Xiaoyue said the same, she has players from all over the world."

Wentian continued: "In addition to the players, we also discovered a problem, that is, the map here seems to be an island. Some time ago, one of our exploration teams finally reached the edge of the island after sacrificing hundreds of people, and found that we were On an island. You are from outside, do you know where this place is?"

"This is the European Dragon Island, in the Atlantic Ocean."

"Oh I got it!"

I asked: "When you reached the edge of the island, didn't you think about going inside?"

"Of course we have. We didn't know this was an island before, so we started exploring the city in all directions. We found that the center of the island is surrounded by a ring of mountains. This mountain is invisible from the outside and is protected by a layer of illusion. Yes. You can see the mountain when you enter the illusion, but you can't fly inside the illusion, neither with magic nor anything else, and the mountain is extremely steep and impossible to climb. What's even more dangerous is living in the caves on the mountain wall. There is a kind of giant centipede, which not only has super powerful attack power but also moves extremely fast on the mountain wall. It is difficult for our people to even climb, let alone deal with them."

"Is there no entrance to the mountain?"

"There are entrances, and there are 4 of them. Each entrance is the same. A giant golden door tens of meters high seals the entrance. We don't know what is behind the door, and whatever magic has been applied to the door will not hurt it no matter what. Not at all. There is a keyhole in the door but we don’t have the key.”

"You mean the keyhole? Is it that big?" I took out the Dragon Island key I got from Lorna.

"Yes, your key is about the same size." Wentian suddenly paused. "Isn't this your key?"

I nodded. "This could very well be it."

"How did you get it?"

"My men gave it to me. I don't know where they got it." In fact, it was something Lorna and the others robbed from others when they were pirates. I can't say it's stolen goods! Besides, we really don’t know the specific source. "What else did you find?"

"We also discovered that we are not the only city on this island. When you came in, you saw that our city is built on the mountain, right?"

"Yes."

"Actually, our city passes through this mountain, and there is half a city on the other side of the mountain. We found that this island seems to be a perfect circle. There are several rings of mountains on the island distributed in concentric circles. You should encounter something different when you come in. Shao Shanbi, right?”

"When you say that, it really looks like this. The mountain walls feel like they are distributed in concentric circles."

Wentian said: "Our city is on one of the concentric mountain ranges, and the mountain range that prevents us from going deep should also be part of this concentric system. We explored both sides along our mountain range, and we found three more cities . Later we learned that the four cities were located in the four directions of the Zhuang Mountain, and each city faced a golden gate. The names of our four cities were also very strange. They were called East Acropolis and South Acropolis according to their respective directions. , West Acropolis, and North Acropolis. This is called East Acropolis, which is where I appeared, and players also appeared in the other three cities. Our teleportation arrays were inaccessible to each other at first, and it was not until we discovered each other that the city owner NPC said Establishing connections allowed us to do a task and connect these cities with each other.”

Ziyue said: "So you four cities are here to guard the checkpoint that prevents monsters from approaching the golden gate behind it?"

"We think so too." Wentian said: "The area behind us is full of small monsters without anything powerful. The dangerous creatures are basically outside us, and our main task seems to be to intercept the orcs and undead from approaching the gate. Other monsters follow this They don’t leave their place of residence and don’t need to be dealt with. As long as you don’t provoke them, they won’t take the initiative to invade.”

"Then do you know what's inside those golden gates at the back?"

"We can't open the gate, but we can often see giant dragons flying to the top of the cliff above to look out. However, the barrier on the cliff seems to have been extending upwards, and the dragons cannot get out. We have also tried to look inside I shouted, but it had no effect at all. I don’t know if it’s because of the language barrier or because I couldn’t hear you at all. By the way, what are you two doing here?”

Ziyue explained: "Your place is called Dragon Island. As you can tell by the name, it is the place where the Dragon Clan lives. In addition to your four cities, there is another city behind the golden gate on this island."

"You mean there is a player's birthplace in it?"

"No. They were born in the Novice Village like you, but they arrived at the door as soon as they came out. All the players inside are of the same race. They are all hidden professional dragons, and their composition is the same as yours and the same as the United Nations. Okay. It seems that players all over the world who choose the dragon tribe will be gathered inside. They are worse off than you and can't get out at all."

I pointed to the purple moon. "Her sister is also inside, and we are here to rescue her."

Wentian said in confusion: "Her sister? Aren't you twins? Her sister should also be your sister! By the way, then you will be triplets."

"How...how can I explain this to you! Anyway, I have nothing to do with the two sisters. They are twins and I am not their relative. The first time we met, we were both shocked."

"really interesting."

Ziyue suddenly asked: "I seemed to see you guys fighting when I came in. Why aren't you nervous at all? You still have time to chat with us."

"Of course I'm not nervous. It's not the first time we've fought here. Ever since we completed the mission and connected the teleportation arrays in the four cities, these orcs and the undead attacked an average of 5 times a week, and they were very regular. They attacked every time. From Monday to Friday, we played for 3 to 5 hours every day and then retreated. It was quite nerve-wracking at first, but then the level got higher and higher, and the difficulty became lower. We are all used to it now, just like at work."

"It's amazing that the battle can be fought like this!"
