Chapter 31 Warsaw, the City of a Thousand Towers
The evil banquet did not last long.
According to Angela, these toys were too fragile and she had not even had time to enjoy the fun. Most of them had completely become what they had killed before. In this regard, the two sisters played an indispensable role. Due to anger and hatred, they almost never killed them like this. Even Fina, who was originally gentle in nature, began to learn to burn each other's face with her burning hands, causing the hateful bandits to scream and die in pain.
The characteristics of blood-sucking species are not only transforming their bodies, but also transforming their inner self.
Of course, Angela would not point out this. It is her hobby to watch two originally kind and pure souls fall into darkness, not the other way around.
Once they learn to be ruthless towards their enemies, then they should expand the scope of their enemies in their cognition.
"I'll give you a chance."
Looking at the two bandits who were already covered with wounds in front of him, Anjiela smiled relaxed and happily. Although Mina and Fina's eyes had completely turned red due to anger, and their eyes were enough to make most people tremble, Anjiela's will was above them. Without her permission, the two sisters could not take any action.
The bandits who were still showing off their power had now become slaughtered mice. They sat on the ground and were trembling all over. Although they did not know the origin of these women in front of them, after seeing Anjiela easily divide their heads into two pieces like tearing paper, the originally ignited desire and anger disappeared immediately, and replaced by despair ice covering them, so that even if they sat on the ground, they could not resist the fear in their hearts.
Seeing them trembling, Anjie rolled her eyes happily.
"By the way, it's better to do this..."
Looking at the two bandits in front of him, the little girl chuckled.
"You might as well fight each other. Whoever survives will save his life."
Without any hesitation, as soon as Anjie finished speaking, one of the men pulled out the dagger on his waist and rushed towards his companion. However, before his strong body could even put his companion to the ground, the sharp sword had already pierced his heart. Although his reaction was not slow, it was still not enough compared to his companion.
He pushed away the corpse of the man that was overturned on him. The surviving man stood up. He looked at Anjiela and kept gasping. Obviously, the moment had exhausted all his strength. Noting the man's tough eyes, Anjiela began to clap and applause. The crisp applause echoed in the camp where black smoke was emitting, corpses and blood were everywhere, making it even more strange.
"Humans are really fun toys, they won't get tired of playing with them no matter how they play."
As he said that, Angela smiled slightly and nodded at Mina beside her.
"Sister Mina, I'll leave it to you."
Under the command of Anjiela, the originally invisible bond disappeared in an instant, and the girl immediately stepped forward and turned into a sharp light. She poured all her anger into the sword in her hand. In just a blink of an eye, the sword penetrated the man's throat. This sudden change made the man open his mouth wide, and his expression was full of reluctance, anger and doubt.
"for…………"
"I keep my promise?"
Angela stood up, patted the dust on her skirt, and looked proudly at the poor worm lying on the ground.
"I have saved your life - isn't a few seconds a reward?"
Unfortunately, the poor man could no longer protest against this explanation.
This is just a small episode.
However, when Mina and Fina returned to the carriage again, Li Lin and Nia realized the changes in their hearts. Some darker things had penetrated through the gap, infected and changed the girls' inner thoughts. Li Lin took a completely ignored attitude. After all, this was not a problem he needed to worry about. Nia did not express any opinions on this matter. At least, they had already dealt with the previous troubles, which was enough.
The carriage set off on the road again and continued to their destination. This time, Nia began to take the initiative to introduce to everyone where they were about to arrive.
Warsaw, the city of Thousand Towers, has only been built for hundreds of years. In fact, it is not an ancient city. At least it seems so young to those with endless lifespans, but for humans with a short lifespan, it is already an ancient city. This city was established five hundred years ago, when a series of measures launched by the Five Nations Alliance made the entire continent turbulent. Many of them finally chose to leave their hometowns and come to this remote northern country to establish their own city. It is independent of the five countries, but has not become a country. Instead, it continues to exist as a city. It is like a hodgepodge, absorbing visitors from afar without any difference.
In Warsaw, most of the residents are mixed-race, half-elves are the most common, and there are several half-dwarfs (I really don’t know what kind of humans have the courage to fall in love with dwarf beauties with a large beard). Even the rarest dragon vein can be seen here. Mixed-race residents have built the city, while the rest include wandering criminals, wandering travelers and expelled people. It is obvious that they are all unpopular people elsewhere, and only this Thousand Towers City is willing to accept them and absorb them.
Of course, the city also attracted the attention of the five countries at the beginning, and with its continuous expansion, the Five-Nation Alliance inevitably had suspicion of a city. However, after several close contacts, the Five-Nation Alliance gave up the idea of attacking it. After all, most of the people living in Warsaw were unpopular characters - including many unpopular beings because of their power. What's more, the races living in it basically have human blood, so they are not as easy to deal with as they face elves. Fortunately, Warsaw is also a smart city. In the face of the suspicion of the Five-Nation Alliance, it made many changes to cater to the Five-Nation Alliance, which eventually dispelled the doubts of the Alliance and made it a successful autonomous province. However, the Five-Nation Alliance still sent representatives to manage the place and monitor everything here.
"In the past, this was indeed the case. But now the situation is different..."
Nia smiled, showing a rare expression of pride.
“We will be treated there with preferential treatment, believe me.”
When the dense forests began to become loose, the true face of the Thousand Towers City was revealed in front of everyone. Its overall shape is completely the structure of a small mountain. Apart from the artificial walls that is isolated from all dangers, from a distance, it looks like a hill that occupies the main position in the garden. Under the cold wind in the north, it still insists on standing.
“When the city was established, no one was willing to provide enough building materials for these poor exiles.”
Nia looked at the city outside and explained to everyone.
"So, they had to dig and open the entire mountain into a great fortress and city."
However, for Angela, the majestic northern ice city in front of her made her less satisfied.
"I thought I could see a thousand tall towers, which is really inconsistent with the name."
"Maybe it's because this mountain looks like countless towers that it's named."
Li Lin had just looked at the city outside and guessed the similar answer.
"No matter what, I still admire them. I can actually hollow out a mountain and turn it into a city. This is an innovation that even the Magic Empire period could not imagine."
“In fact, the same thought was the first time I came here.”
Nia nodded lightly and agreed with Li Lin's opinion.
"Although humans are fragile and short-lived, the soul sparks they emit are so dazzling that they cannot be seen directly. Even these mixed races who only inherit half of human blood have such admirable creativity, which is really unimaginable."
"That's why humans can survive like bed bugs. I just hate them. One day, these uncontrollable and unrestrained reptiles will proudly take travel photos on the sun."
Angela complained indignantly, and apparently, although she acknowledged the superior adaptability of human beings, she did not regard it as an advantage.
"Only with weaknesses can you have awe, and only with awe can you know the right way, instead of foolishly getting things that you shouldn't have gotten. I really want to know, when one day these humans can survive in a vacuum, will they stole the mystery and truth formed by the world? One day, the starry sky will be chaotic by stupid short-lived species, and even the Milky Way may not escape the evil fate of being polluted."
"This may be the price of gain and loss."
Although the two sisters and Nia did not understand Angela's complaints at all, Li Lin understood what she meant. On the earth, humans cut down randomly, resulting in the extinction of wild animals, the water sources used to drink were polluted, and even the sky became synonymous with danger. The ancient castle where Angela used to live had been completely flattened, and replaced by the rise of a modern city. No wonder she hated humans so deeply. For the blood-sucking species of immortality, scientific progress, medical development, and economic benefits are not what they care about. They only care about their own food, the environment and their homes.
"We will lose whatever we get. Some roads are long, and some roads can reach their goals quickly, but I don't know if it's worth paying enough."
At this moment, the carriage had arrived at the gate of this mountain city. In front of a spacious and dark cave, a young man in fine armor stopped the carriage. Most of their faces were handsome, and if you look closely, you could see that they showed some sharp appearances on their unintentionally covered ears, but they were not as slender as elves - this was the symbol of mixed blood.
Nia pulled up her cloak again and covered her face. Then she reached into her arms and took out a golden leaf. The guards who originally planned to make things difficult for these "Southerns" immediately corrected their attitude after seeing the golden leaf. Soon, without any scrutiny, the group quickly passed the warning at the door and drove into the dark cave.
The long, dark cave is not a piece of black. The moonstones embedded on both sides emit a soft light, illuminating the road for the pedestrians in front of you. Even if it does not require much expertise, Li Lin can understand that one of the purposes of building such a long passage is to block the enemy that may invade. After all, this is a huge mountain, which has a far stronger defense than other cities.
Under the control of the old coachman, the carriage moved forward at a fast speed, and occasionally passing by the walking passers-by and merchants.
"Master, I feel a little ridiculous."
Lying on the car window and watching the light flying past outside, Angela's face looked a little strange.
"It's like crossing a subway tunnel."
Li Lin smiled and took what she wanted to say. He still understood the little guy's inner way of thinking. And, to be honest, he had a similar feeling. Then, he turned to Nia and asked his own questions.
"You seem to be familiar with this place? Why?"
"I guess you'll ask me this question, Li Lin."
Nia's smile was very happy.
"In fact, this is no longer a city under the control of the Five Nations Alliance. Now the one who controls this city is a group of wizards."
