Chapter 853 Dahuang City
Half an hour later, outside the east gate of the city.
Because it is in the desert, the city walls are made of sand. But even so, it is very majestic. The city wall is three feet high and the city gate is two feet wide. There are not many people coming in and out.
It was relatively small, and there were still some carriages coming in and out.
Lu An stood outside the city gate. The wind and sand around the city became more serious, almost making it difficult to open one's eyes. However, Lu An released a layer of life wheel in front of his eyes to block, and looked up at the three words written on the city gate.
Large characters.
Dahuang City.
Lu An looked at the name and thought that it suited this city very well. Being in such a huge desert, he didn't know what the people here would rely on to survive.
Lu An looked at the people going in and out of the city gate. Everyone was wearing clothes that looked very rough, but in fact the materials were very good. At least they could withstand the sand and dust in such a big wind and prevent the clothes from getting into their clothes. Maybe it was because of this place.
The environment is not good, the people here are very modestly dressed, and I didn’t see anyone dressed in luxurious clothes.
Thinking of this, Lu An found a corner and went underground to change his clothes. He didn't want to attract attention, and there were many such clothes in his ring.
After changing his clothes, Lu An entered the city. When Lu An entered the city, he found that the situation inside was no different from what he expected. There were still ordinary buildings, with the highest being only four floors. And these buildings were all
They are very random, some are piled up with sand and soil, and some are built by earth-attribute heavenly masters or wood-attribute heavenly masters, but the construction style is extremely random.
With such an architectural style, the buildings in the entire Great Desert City can be described as bizarre and without any rules at all. Even a small town in the countryside would not have such a lack of planning.
Walking in Dahuang City, Lu An found that there were quite a lot of people in Dahuang City, and everyone looked big, thick, and fierce. Not only that, Lu An felt the scorching sun emanating from the sky in Dahuang City.
Masters can be seen everywhere, and Lu An even saw no one who was not a Celestial Master at all--could it be said that the entire desert city is a Celestial Master?
But if this is really the case, why do these heavenly masters abandon living a good life and insist on staying in a place like this with nothing?
Lu An was very confused, but he could ask someone. After walking for a long time, he finally saw a tavern and walked directly in. When he walked into the tavern, he found several tables of people eating. When Lu An appeared, everyone immediately
Everyone looked at him.
Perhaps because they discovered that Lu An was very young, the eyes of these people were full of doubts, but more of them were hostile and murderous. This made Lu An even more
He was confused. He had never provoked these people, so why were they so unfriendly to him? Could it be that he had done something wrong?
After Lu An looked around, he found a corner and sat down. The waiter walked up to Lu An from the side, but what surprised Lu An was that the waiter was also a heavenly master.
"What do you want to eat?" The waiter's tone was very blunt, even indifferent. Looking at Lu An, he asked impatiently.
"Any side dishes." Lu An looked at this person and said in a normal tone, "There is something else I want to inquire about."
"Inquiring about things costs money!" the waiter said directly, without any concealment, "take out the money and talk about it later!"
Lu An was stunned when he heard this. It was natural to ask questions and give money, but the other party's attitude really surprised him. Moreover, Lu An found that other people in the tavern were still looking at him. In full view of everyone, he didn't want to cause trouble, so he took a few gold coins.
come out.
"Are these enough?" Lu An asked.
The waiter glanced at the money on the table, picked it up and put it away. He looked at Lu An and asked, "If you have anything to ask, just ask!"
"I came here for the first time and I don't know anything about this deserted city. I want to hear about this deserted city." Lu An said.
Hearing Lu An's words, not only the waiter was stunned, but also the guests at other tables. The waiter immediately frowned and asked Lu An, "Are you kidding me? You don't know what's going on in Dahuang City?"
How did you get here?"
"This..." Lu An was a little stunned and said, "I came here accidentally, please elaborate."
Hearing Lu An's words, the waiter's brows tightened. However, he used money to help others eliminate disasters. The waiter sat down directly and said to Lu An, "If you don't even know about Dahuang City, unless you are directly raped by someone,
Send it here. I can tell you for sure that the person who sent you here must hate you to the core."
"..." Lu An frowned slightly and said nothing.
Looking at Lu An again, the waiter drew a map at random on the table and said, "This is a huge desert with an area about the same as a small country. It's called the Shikukan Desert. There are five deserts in Shikukan.
The cities are located in the four directions of due north, due south, due west, and due east. The distances from the edge of the desert and the center are the same. There is also a city located in the center of Shikukan."
"It's right here, Dahuang City."
As he spoke, the waiter tapped the table with his finger. Only then did Lu An realize that he had arrived at the center of the desert.
"There are many countries around Shikukan, all of them are small countries, but Shikukan is an unowned land and does not belong to the territory of any country. In other words, no country's laws can govern this place.
, do whatever you want, as long as you can do it.”
Lu An was shocked when he heard this, and had a vague feeling that it was not simple here.
"You have also seen the environment here. There is nothing, and the most expensive things are water and food. After all, it is not easy to purchase goods from the surrounding countries. There are countless bandits in Shikukan, and they are always ready.
There is a risk of being robbed. The chance that the goods will be delivered intact is less than 30%. The most important thing here is to have a full stomach."
After saying that, the waiter looked at Lu An and asked, "Are you also a Celestial Master?"
Lu An thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Yes."
"I can't tell that you are a Celestial Master at such a young age." The waiter looked Lu An up and down, then waved his hand and said, "But in Shikukan, almost everyone is a Celestial Master ------
Do you know why they come here?"
Lu An shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"There are three types of Celestial Masters who come here." The waiter saw that Lu An really didn't know, so he raised a finger and said, "The first type is fugitives wanted by the country. Once wanted, because of the relationship between neighboring countries
, even if I go to other countries, I will probably be caught. Plus, I don’t want to leave my hometown, so I come here.”
"The second type is people who take revenge." The waiter raised his second finger and said, "Here, there are many people who have lost their lives. Because the enemy is too powerful, they have no choice but to escape here. They want revenge.
I came here to find helpers and to experience myself. People die here every moment. If you survive here, you will have the strength to go back and take revenge."
"Also, there is the third type of person, which we call the evil star." The waiter raised his third finger and said, "This kind of person does nothing else but likes to kill people, buy goods, and do evil. In the country, there will be someone to control it.
But no one can control them in Shikukan. As long as they are not bullied, no matter how they kill people, they will not participate. It can be said that this is their fairyland."
"..."
Hearing the waiter's explanation, Lu An frowned slightly, but showed no more expression. He asked again, "Are there any rules in this deserted city? Or what are the rules in Shikukan?"
"Of course there are rules. There are rules everywhere, but here they are just conventions and not very enforceable." The waiter shrugged and said, "Generally speaking, evil stars are not allowed to exist in these five cities.
It's safer than the desert outside, but only relatively speaking. You can still kill people here at will, but if you want to destroy the city or kill people in large numbers, someone will still take care of it."
"In other words, these five cities are for the first two types of people. As for the evil stars, they are distributed in various places in Shikukan, waiting for their prey to come at any time." The waiter said.
"Then are there any larger forces in Dahuang City?" Lu An asked again, "What is the strength of the most powerful Celestial Master?"
"Yes, there are, but there are too many, and it's too troublesome to talk about." The waiter waved his hands and said impatiently, "And even if someone is strong enough, he won't become the king in Dahuang City. That would simply destroy the entire stone library.
Everyone is offended. No one is allowed to have absolute say here. Everyone is just protecting themselves. After all, except for the evil star, everyone’s ambition is not here."
"As for the most powerful heavenly master, I don't know. None of us have any contact with anyone, and no one knows when he will die. How can we have time to know so many things?" The waiter stood up and said to Lu An, "Okay.
, I have already said a lot, and I don’t have time to waste any more time with you.”
Lu An was startled and could only watch the waiter walk away. He was slightly lost in thought. It seemed that there were dangers everywhere in this deserted city. Is it really the right choice to practice in such a dangerous place?
At this moment, the waiter, who had suddenly walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, turned to look at Lu An again, and said loudly, "Seeing that you are young, I would like to remind you that in this deserted city, you should not sleep while sleeping."
Be careful!"
Lu An was stunned when he heard this, looked up at the waiter and asked, "What do you mean?"
"I just said that eating and drinking here costs a lot of money. Where do you think those people who have been living here get their money?" The waiter sneered, "They all pick on newcomers.
, for someone like you who shows no ability at first sight, it’s like a feast delivered to your door.”
Lu An was startled when he heard this. Only then did he realize why these people were staring at him, and he also saw clearly the meaning of the sneers on their lips.
