Chapter 461: A Little Strange
Looking at the city of Custer from the outside is a completely different feeling than living inside.
The carriage was traveling on a road that was not very wide. Compared with the dozens of tall buildings on both sides of the road, the narrowness of the road makes the originally magnificent buildings suddenly become depressing.
Especially when walking between two rows of buildings, huge shadows are cast, and the bottom floor is dark, damp and solemn.
Looking closer, those tall buildings are not that majestic.
The windows are so small that it would be difficult for an adult to get out of them.
The densely packed windows make people feel depressing, as if they are eyes hiding behind the walls, coveting everything on the street.
In stark contrast to these dense and depressing buildings, there were not many people on the streets.
Occasionally, a few odd-shaped rickshaws would fly past.
Thor glanced at it, and it seemed that he was also moving forward through gears and other machinery, but at a very fast speed.
Marsh was obviously dazzled. His driving speed could not keep up with the speed in the wilderness, and he was quickly overtaken by those rickshaws.
Then there was a buzzing sound above his head. Marsh raised his head and saw a small airship flying over ten meters above his head.
The sky was getting dark, and the tops of the black pillars on both sides of the road suddenly lit up, startling the horses pulling the cart.
Seeing this scene, Thor was both amazed and puzzled, "The moment the lighting equipment is turned on, there is a magic wave. In other words, at least there is a kind of magic infrastructure running through these blocks!" If it is just a separate wizard tower
, It is normal for building facilities to use such magical equipment, but this is a city!
How on earth did Archaeologists, or the Baidong Academy behind it, use so many witchcraft resources on ordinary people?
The underlying productivity of witchcraft is simply not enough, right?
Five minutes later, Thor finally arrived at the destination on the map of the "Guide Manual".
intermediary center.
The guide says that this place is responsible for a series of intermediary matters such as finding a job, finding a house, finding a spouse, etc.
It is the first recommended place to go when new to Castro City.
Even if you just come for a tour, you can find a suitable guide here.
As soon as the carriage stopped under a particularly square tall building, Thor heard the faint sound of a piano coming from the tall buildings on both sides.
Immediately, as if a switch was turned on, the buildings on both sides simultaneously sounded the roar of people.
Black shadows emerged from different exits of houses and slowly converged onto the street, forming a dark torrent.
"This... so many people?" Even the well-informed Agu was stunned by the sight in front of him.
Not only the buildings on both sides of them, but also the tall buildings in front of them and the buildings on the street in front of them were all pouring out crowds of people like they were gushing out.
The street, which was not originally wide, suddenly became packed with people.
As far as I could see, except for a few rickshaws, everyone else was traveling on two feet!
Most of the people passing by looked numb, except for the occasional lively smile when talking in low voices.
"This is concentrating all the population of the surrounding cities and towns into Archaeological City." Saul still held his chin and looked out of the car window. The scene in front of him somewhat evoked his previous memories.
"Concentrate a large population, have a very regular lifestyle, and use novels to continuously attract people into the city...The owner of this city has turned people into parts of the city. What does he want to do?" Agu listened to Sol's analysis
. , whispered: "The real owner of Archaeological Site City is Baidong College. And the current speaker of Baidong College is their old dean Pang De, a second-level wizard." Baidong College is also selling various products to the outside world
. He cultivates witchcraft props, and I heard that as long as he has money, even people with poor magic and mental abilities can become wizard apprentices.
Baidong College cast a wide net, and not only the wizard apprentices were caught in the net, but also small fry such as ordinary people were not let go.
"I'm afraid they are doing a big project." At this time, the crowd coming out of the buildings on both sides had thinned out, and Saul jumped off the carriage. "It's useless to think about it. We are just a group of renters looking for a house now." We're just guests."
On the surface, Marsh stayed where he was, but secretly, there was a clone of Xiao Zao that dug into the soil to guard him.
Thor only brought a compressed suitcase containing important items and Agu, and the two entered the red square building on the right.
After entering the building, Sol and Agu saw a door that could be automatically alerted and required a pass to open.
A cabin that can run up and down like an elevator, but requires a dedicated person to control it manually.
It seemed like the music was playing after get off work just now, but now there were not many people in the building.
The "elevator" took the two people to the 20th floor, which is the top floor of the building.
The top floor is an oval hall, with hidden rooms on both sides. The middle was empty, with only a few benches and a circle of counters surrounding it.
Posters and scraps of paper were scattered all over the floor, and someone was cleaning them up.
As soon as Saul came in, he saw a boy dragging a woman and arguing with a woman behind the counter, as if it was about rent.
Another look at the sign above the woman's head behind the counter showed that it was indeed a rental area.
Thor walked to the adjacent counter and asked, "Do you have any houses for rent to wizards here?"
The man behind the counter was lowering his head to sort out information. When he heard the voice, he looked up and suddenly showed a bright smile. things thrown aside casually.
"Of course, my lord, welcome to Archaeological Site!"
In just ten minutes, Sol successfully got a key. The key is just a copper leaf, but the lines on it are constantly changing. When Sol's hand presses on a certain position, the lines will stop.
The man who entertained Sol diligently walked Sol to the door.
Originally, he just took out a book of documents with normal enthusiasm. Unexpectedly, when Sol selected the house and took out the silver pass to register, the man's expression changed drastically, his attitude became twice as respectful, and he even took out a document from the back room. Another volume of housing information.
The house Sol originally selected was the top floor of a tall building.
The new house information that the man showed was at least a villa.
Sol took a second look, compared the prices, and chose the original top floor.
There is no way, the wizard tower has collapsed. He still has a small wizard tower, four consciousness bodies, and two pets to raise, so he must save money.
Although Sol did not choose a bigger and more expensive house, the agent was not disappointed at all. When Sol left, he took out a business card and handed it over respectfully with both hands.
"This is my business card, which is my information. It has our signaling signal on it. If you need anything in the future, you can find the intermediary center through the communicator in the room. I can come to serve you at any time." So
familiar The scene made Saul feel nostalgic. He took the other party's business card and looked down.
"John... John..." Thinking of a certain novel, Saul raised his head and asked, "Aren't you the farmer Little John in the book?"
The man named John smiled honestly, "In fact, after this book was promoted, , many people changed their name to John, hoping to be as lucky as him."
After accepting John's business card, Saul once again refused the service of traveling in the flight capsule.
Without him, it is not free.
Back on the carriage, Agu was so shocked that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
Sol looked calm on the outside, but actually he was surprised on the inside.
If he hadn't discovered that the underlying logic of many props had shadows of witchcraft runes, he would have thought that some all-around time traveler had come here to be the city lord.
However, he finally confirmed that although some things were similar, the essence was still much different.
After returning to the carriage, Sol asked Xiaozao to take back the clone hidden underground, tell Marsh the location, and prepare to go to his new home.
However, as soon as the wheel started, the algae suddenly stretched out from the back of Sol's neck and breathed into Sol's face.
"Um... Xiaozao, what are you doing?"
Xiaozao wrote a crooked word in the air.
"Big tree."
Several people came over at the same time.
"Big tree? What big tree? Which big tree?" Penny asked naggingly.
"The word "tree" is missing one point." Agu said with a frown.
Sol was startled, "It seems like there isn't a single tree here."
He slowly lowered his head and looked at his feet.
"The big tree you mentioned...is it underground?"
I finally caught up.
