Diablo Destruction

"Welcome, Your Excellency Elder Wu Fan."

A mage with a big black beard who looked about 50 years old bowed slightly to me and said with a smile.

"Nice to meet you too, Master Talen. From now on, just call me Wu Fan or Wu. Speaking of which, we can be considered half brothers. In the Mage Guild, I also received personal guidance from Farah."

I also smiled back. It's strange to say that in a country as big as Lu Gaoyin, there is no elder in it. In other words, nominally speaking, among all the adventurers in Lu Gaoyin, I currently have the highest status.

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a little nervous. I tightened my cloak and pulled my hat down further. Then I thought it seemed impolite, so I took off the hat again.

"Really? That's such a coincidence. I didn't expect that you would also receive guidance from the teacher. I'm ashamed to say that although I also received guidance from the teacher, my talent is really limited, so I can only eat here and wait to die. .”

When he heard what I said, Talon showed a slight difference on his face. You must know that my profession is a druid. I didn't expect that I could get guidance from Farah. After thinking about it, he could only attribute this to the other person's talent. , the smile on his face couldn't help but become more enthusiastic.

"Wherever, power is not everything a mage has. Those mages who are knowledgeable and perform magic exploration and research in obscurity are equally respectable."

Of course, except for mages like Farah who specialize in tinkering with weird magic items, I added silently in my heart.

Under the leadership of Tarun, we walked out of the magic hall. Lu Gaoyin's mages' guild looked almost the same as the one in Rogge's camp. They both had intricate underground chamber structures. After walking for more than ten minutes along the winding stairs, the tower Ren paused. Because there was a wall in front of him, he muttered a few magic spells in a low voice. The wall in front of him suddenly made a slight friction sound, and then slowly moved away. The white light shot down from above, making my His eyes narrowed slightly.

With this senior-brother relationship, Talen's tone became much more intimate, in a stone study room after walking out of the secret room. I handed him the letter of introduction that Akara gave me. He read it carefully for a while before slowly raising his head.

"I already understand what Master Akara means. As for the issue of using long-distance magic to teleport, our Mages Guild naturally has no objection, but in addition, we must also obtain the approval of the ruler here - His Majesty Jehaine. , Your Excellency may have to meet with him. I will go to the palace immediately to discuss the time for the interview, which will be about two or three days. Your Excellency may wish to take this time to get familiar with Lu Gaoyin's environment. "

It was pretty much what Akara said, so I nodded to him.

"Then please go and have a rest. I happen to be very interested in this legendary country known as the City of Jewels, and now I can't wait to go out for a walk."

"Haha, if this is the case, Lu Gaoyin will definitely not disappoint you, sir. No matter in terms of population or prosperity, this place cannot be compared to Rogge Camp, especially the Twin Seas here, and Rogge Camp. The sea of ​​grasslands in the camp, the sea of ​​forests in Kurast, the demon fortress, and the ice and snow plateau of Harrogas. They are recognized as one of the five most magnificent wonders in the entire Dark Continent."

"When you say that, I can't help it even more."

"Then I don't know if your Excellency has anything else to give you. If not, I won't obstruct your visit. By the way, if you need a guide, I think there must be someone in our Mage Guild who can do the job."

Talen's suggestion surprised me. Could it be that my Lu Gaoyin attribute has been passed on to Lu Gaoyin? Thinking about it, it shouldn't be possible. I rejected Tarun's suggestion. After making an appointment with him to return to the Mage Guild within two days, he was led by a mage. I walked out of the guild's main gate.

Just as I imagined, as a city on the edge of the desert, the air in Lugaoyin is dry and hot. As soon as I walked out of the Mage Guild, I realized this deeply. The sun hanging in the sky was as bright as What I saw in Rogge Camp was that the ground was half as big. The oppressive feeling brought by the dazzling white light was like being in an oven. What was flowing in the air was not wind, but wave after wave of heat waves, coming from Rogge. Arriving at Ge Camp here is like residents who have lived in Alaska for a long time suddenly appearing in Hawaii.

Although as a job changer, I am not afraid of the fierce sunshine, I still can't help but take out a water bag, pour a few mouthfuls of icy cold water into my dry lips, and then exhale Slow down.

The accompanying mage saw my look and smiled knowingly.

"The climate here is indeed a bit uncomfortable for first timers, but I believe adults will be able to adapt to it quickly. By then you will find that there are actually many lovely places here."

After he finished speaking, he paused and then asked carefully.

"Sir, do you really not need a guide? You know, Lu Gaoyin is no better than Rogge Camp. The area of ​​​​the city is at least ten times that of the camp, and there are millions of residents..."

"No, I'm just walking around casually to feel the atmosphere here. I don't plan to get to know the whole city right away."

"I see, sir, please go on your way. If you encounter any problems on the way, I believe the mages nearby will be happy to solve them for you."

The careful mage did not forget to give a kind reminder in the end.

I smiled back at this kind-hearted mage, put my cloak and hat back on tightly, and strode out of the door.

There was a small square in front of me. When I looked back, I was immediately shocked by the generosity of the Mages Guild. How could this look like the Mages Guild? ——The majestic stone castle as colorful as a royal palace, with towering domes and towering round spires. Compared with it, the Mages Guild in Rogge Camp is no different from a doghouse.

I walked across the square in surprise and came to the outer gate of the guild. There were two mages and soldiers guarding each gate. They turned to look at me with a look of doubt in their eyes, but they quickly turned back.

Come out of the Mages Guild. It was a brick-paved avenue about ten meters wide. The bustling crowd made me feel like I was back at the scene on the birthday of the Earth God in Rogge Camp.

I randomly chose a direction and walked along the crowd for more than ten minutes. After a cursory observation, I found that Lu Gaoyin's cultural style was actually very close to the Arabic or Indian style, because they all have one thing in common. The characteristic is that most of them are in desert environments.

Most of the buildings here are made of stone. If you want wood, you have to go to the edge of the misty forest dozens of kilometers away to cut it. Therefore, the wood that can be obtained everywhere in Rogge Camp is very precious to Lu Gaoyin.

A large number of stones obtained from the Gobi Desert not far from here are used in neat three-dimensional trapezoidal stone masonry structures, mixed with a layer of gray mud on the surface, to form unique stone houses. Only doors and windows need to be movable to construct. Made of wood, this cabin has a strong ethnic style. This is where most civilians live.

Of course, this is not all. Lugao is known as the City of Jewels, and there are countless wealthy merchants in it. Those four- and five-story stone dome towers can also be seen everywhere. Although most of these tall and majestic buildings are also made of stone, the stones used in them are of higher quality and their surfaces are polished very smooth. The craftsmanship of skilled craftsmen makes them look round and bright, and there is no need to cover up the uneven and ugly appearance of their houses with dirty plaster like ordinary people do.

Many of these magnificent buildings are painted with various colorful geometric patterns. The strange and harmonious style and tone are like African totems, giving people a very distinctive feature.

Lu Gaoyin is known as the commercial center of the entire Dark Continent. The races of the people living here are also extremely mixed - fair-skinned Rogge, humans with different skin colors, tall and cold Amazons, extremely strong barbarians, and even many intelligent creatures with no known race can be seen everywhere. Perhaps, A slender figure wearing a wide felt hat who occasionally passes by you is the legendary elven clan famous for their beauty and elegance. And standing at the door of the bar. A dwarf whose whole body was covered by a cloak was most likely a dwarf who had been living in seclusion for a long time. Their blacksmith skills are unique in the entire Dark Continent...

Of course, the original residents here are indispensable - the Lugoin people. The dress of the Lugoin people is very distinctive, very similar to the Arabs seen in the world in the past. Most of the men here like to grow a messy beard. The head is covered with a turban and a headband, and a loose white collarless robe is worn. The bust and sleeves are very large and cylindrical. This kind of clothing is more breathable and very cool to wear, so whether it is a rich person or a Most poor people dress like this. The difference is that the rich people's clothes are better. Some wear cloaks and look energetic when walking around. Those who pay attention to style hang a tassel on their chest with a tassel inside. It is filled with some spices, and some even hang an exquisite waist knife on their waist to show off their martial prowess. Of course, these are just toys for adventurers...

The women in Lu Gaoyin are also unique. Most of the women here are very slim, and fat women are rarely seen. Most of the women in Lu Gaoyin have their faces covered with veils, giving people a mysterious and seductive appeal. , some of them are only covered with a thin gauze, their skin is looming, and their dark complexions reveal a healthy luster, which also has a unique flavor, especially their small waists, which are slender and slender. It is said that Lu Gaoyin's women's Beauty does not lie in appearance, but in the outline, slenderness and flexibility of the waist. The bolder Lu Gaoyin women will dress themselves up in various ways and are proud of their water snake waists, while the reserved ladies will dress themselves in various styles. Wearing white robes similar to those of men, with high collars raised around their necks, their skin is delicate and smooth. Even in this desert climate where the sun is shining brightly, they are as fair as babies and look even more delicate. moving.

From the appearance of a city, you can tell the degree of development here. This sentence is true. In Rogge Camp, most civilians are immersed in work, and they only have a rare moment of relaxation during festivals and the like. In Lu Gaoyin, almost every day is like a celebration. People here, whether men, women, old or young, or wealthy businessmen, are all good at singing and dancing. On the street, you can see some bold Lu Gaoyin women singing and dancing at any time. The dance they dance looks very much like belly dance with Arabic style. The intricate and sexy body movements are either charming and sexy, or arrogant and mysterious, which vividly bring out their beautiful water snake waists, and the men also Good players of musical instruments, most of them are good at tambourine. If you don’t have a drum at hand, you can just take out a rough plate and beat it with a very rhythmic melody.

Of course, everything is not so beautiful. Although Lugaoyin, known as the City of Jewels, is indeed full of gold, the richer you are, the more inevitable you are with something that cannot be eliminated - slums. The street where I am is the main road. . Those poorly dressed poor people are not qualified to walk here. From the neatly-organized groups of soldiers passing by every few minutes, you can know that the security here is extremely strict.

"Hey, wait."

A group of soldiers passed by me, and the leader suddenly turned around and said to me coldly.

I was slightly startled. Look back.

"Is something wrong?"

"Looking at your outfit, you seem to be unfamiliar. Take off your hat."

I was stunned, although the whole body wrapped in a cloak was indeed a bit mysterious. But it seems that I am not the only one around me who is like this. How did he judge that I am "very unfamiliar"? Judging from their vicious looks, they were clearly looking for trouble.

"What if I say no?"

I narrowed my eyes slightly. I had never been treated like this in Camp Rogge, and an unknown anger suddenly rose in my heart.

"Be brave, do you know where this place is? Don't think that a small mercenary can be so rampant."

The leading captain choked slightly. Their momentum, which usually only bullies civilians, can't compare to the adventurers' murderous intent that they have honed over a long period of killing.

"Really, what if I still insist on refusing? What can you do to me?"

A smile appeared at the corner of my mouth, and I touched my palm lightly. A dark crow appeared in my palm and answered softly.

People who don't know may think it's just a poor performance, but the captain is quite knowledgeable. This crow looks like nothing out of the ordinary. But those dark eyes flashed with sharp gaze and smooth lines. It seemed as if it could pass through his heart at any time - he was certain that this was definitely one of the Druid's signature skills.

Even though the lazy crow doesn't usually join the battle, we just assume that it is weak. After all, it has a skill level of 8 and a mutated crow of level 2. If you want to think about the team in front of you, it has not even reached the soldier level. , at best, it would take no more than 5 seconds to kill the soldiers who could only compete with the students in the Rogge camp.

The captain's face suddenly became ugly. From the other party's voice, he sounded very young, so he estimated that the other party was at best a mercenary or even a soldier-level adventurer. He didn't expect that he was a job transferee, changing jobs at such a young age. He knew very well what it meant.

His face turned bright and dark for a few times, and finally he bowed his head angrily towards me, and left quickly with the soldiers behind him. A job transfer was not something that a small soldier like him could afford to offend. If you make them angry, it's not surprising that they can kill you without you noticing. They have that strength.

I watched them leave thoughtfully. I was really too lazy to take action against such little pawns. However, compared with the atmosphere of a militia family in Rogge camp, the quality of Lu Gaoyin's soldiers was really that good. Gap, is this the so-called metropolitan style? Or……

I meditated silently for a while, but the lazy crow didn't take away the palm of my hand. It jumped on my shoulder excitedly, rubbed its round head flatteringly on my face a few times, and its eyes turned purring, as if it was interested in me. I am also very interested in the bustling scene in front of me.

What a pity. If I didn't want to expose my identity so quickly, I wonder if I could have scared the shit out of that group of soldiers by directly summoning Xiaoxue? I thought with a smile to myself.

With a "swish" sound, the lazy crow suddenly disappeared from my shoulder, and then reappeared on my shoulder in less than a second, giving full play to its second-level mutation speed, unless it was a job changer or a Rogge's archer has a keen eye, otherwise few people would be able to catch it, let alone those soldiers and civilians?

So even if it now has a glowing stone in its mouth, no one knows where it came from, except me.

"Dead crow..."

I slapped it hard on its round head with my index finger. This guy didn't change his evil ways. In just one second, he picked up a stone from the stall opposite. Fortunately, no one seemed to notice. , otherwise my reputation will be ruined.

I glared at it, dug out the beautiful stone from its mouth, approached the stall, clasped my index finger slightly, and put the stone back silently. The whole process was unnoticed. He really looks like a martial arts master.
