Chapter 65
byThe city on the edge of Lengyuan is called Inganok, but it doesn't really matter what the name is, because Jiang Ci and the others can't remember this awkward name at all, and they prefer to call this city the City of Agate.
Before seeing the city, Wang Liang once said that the city was built with countless onyx. When he heard the news, Jiang Ci and the others also imagined that it would use a lot of onyx during the construction process.Onyx, such as on the wall, inlaid on the ground, or using countless decorations made of onyx.
But now, when they saw the beautiful city in the distance from the black mountain, Jiang Ci was still shocked by it.
Its ground is made of onyx-cut floor tiles, and even those thick walls are made of large pieces of onyx. Its architectural style is gorgeous and fantastic.Black and exquisite buildings, the main body of some buildings is spherical, and the smooth circular arc will shrink at the top of the roof, and then form a delicate dome structure, while the top of some buildings is a pyramid-like structure...There are various golden decorative symbols on the top of the building, vine-like patterns, swirl symbols, patterns representing a certain god, etc., symmetrical and transforming patterns beyond imagination.
It was night now, and street lights were also lit in this city, and the roads between the buildings in the entire black city were shining brightly.
Jiang Ci also saw countless large ships moored at the coast on the other side of the city, and some ant-sized people were transporting large pieces of uncut onyx.And there is a small hill in the center of the city, and there is a tall black building on the hill. That tall building seems to be a clock tower, because he saw a big clock on it.
A city with a completely different style from the cozy town of Uzzah.
"it's beautiful."
Some people lamented softly, this is the unreal beauty shown in the real world from the scenes in childhood dreams.
After appreciating for a while, everyone looked at Wang Liang silently and waited for his next command.
Jiang Ci's task was to take them out of the land of Leng, and now it's not his business to get out of the land of Leng.
As the person in charge, Wang Liang looked at the distance between them and Agate City, and asked Jiang Ci: "It's a bit far away, should we rest here today?"
Although we are out of Leng Yuan, there are still countless onyx mining fields between this mountain range and the city of agate, which is not a short distance.When they came from there just now, they had exhausted a lot of physical strength, especially Meng Yangqiu, when he climbed this mountain, he was completely dragged up from the bottom of the mountain.
Hearing his words, Jiang Ci felt that he was also tired, so he nodded.
When Wang Liang let him rest on the spot, Chen Xi suddenly said: "I saw there are still people in the mining field below, let's go down first, they may have means of transportation to the city, even if they don't, they must have a place to rest, no matter whatIn this way, we don’t have to sleep in the wilderness.”
Jiang Ci also looked down after listening, and sure enough, not far from the foot of the mountain, he saw a few black shadows crawling around on a big rock on the exposed mining field.
He said directly: "Go."
Now that Jiang Ci agreed, the others have nothing to say, and a bunch of people started to rush down again, only Meng Yangqiu screamed: "Isn't it a rest? Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!"
Qi Keke tugged at his arm and shouted cheerfully: "Wuhu~Take off!"
When they got down there, they found a place to hide. After observing for a while, judging from the tired faces of those people and the rough hands holding the shovel and hammer, they confirmed that they were really human, and Wang Liang went up to meet them alone.negotiate.
After talking, he exchanged some golden beans and the miners for some yaks and horses, and some broken wooden carts containing several large pieces of rough onyx.
Wang Liang walked away with his things, and the miners behind were still holding gold with blank faces. Is onyx so valuable now?
They stood together and discussed for a while, talking about the forbidden northern land on the mountain, which made them a little flustered. Not long after Wang Liang's team went far, they also broughtThings, rush to the city of agate.
Wang Liang is now leading a strong yak and walking in the front. Jiang Ci and Meng Yangqiu are sitting on the rock, behind them are also a few carts pulled by a yak. Chen Xi is standing below him, feetShang walked quickly, following the vehicle, Huang Wu'e and the others lined up behind her.
They are now pretending to be a group of small businessmen. Except for Jiang Ci, they are all covered with gray loose clothes that have been rubbed hard on the ground, and they have sprinkled some fine sand and gravel on their heads and faces.When he got up, he looked a little rough and dusty.
The closer to the city of black agate, the more people on the road, but most of them are mining workers working outside.
When they were about to arrive at that city, before they had time to marvel at the huge arches on the city wall and the exquisitely carved heads of gods on them, they were dragged by the crowd and walked towards the center of the city.
After entering the city, they found that besides the mining workers, there were also many sailors with different faces, who smelled like fish, gathered in some taverns.
Unlike the miners who obviously belonged to the same race, the sailors looked much more messy. They seemed to come from different regions, and the miners and sailors were naturally divided into two factions, going to different taverns.
Jiang Ci's team received some attention, not because of their looks and clothes, there are many weirder people here than them, but because they brought back a few pieces of onyx that are not particularly high-quality from the suburbs, you must know hereIt is the origin of onyx. There is no need to look at these things so closely, because they are not worth much at all.
Jiang Ci put on his hat, and lifted the fabric under his neck to cover his chin, leaving only a gap in the middle of his face.
When more and more people came over curiously, Wang Liang finally found a place to stay. It was a round black house inlaid with green crystals.It is an elegant art gallery.
Jiang Ci watched as he took out some golden beans and paid them to the owner of the shop, and soon a few strong men came to help them pull all the things to the open area next to them, and casually helped them feed the cowsand the horses were fed food.
Wang Liang walked and said, "I reserved three rooms, one for boys, one for girls, and one for Boss Jiang. It's not that I don't want to book more for you, but it's mainly because it's better for us to stay together."
Someone raised their hand and asked, "Why does Boss Jiang have a room alone?"
Wang Liang glanced at him: "Because I don't want to share a room with him, and besides, I don't think anyone would dare to arrest him, right?"
After he finished speaking, a strange smile appeared on his face: "Don't you all wonder what the consequences will be if those people really arrest Boss Jiang?"
The eyes of the others lit up, and then turned their heads to stare at Jiang Ci excitedly, as if thinking that Jiang Ci would be captured by the enemy in the next second.
Jiang Ci: "..."
"I'm going for a rest."
He took his own things, called a man in black clothes, and asked him to take him to the room Wang Liang had set for him.
Although the building is circular in appearance, it is very large, and the arc on one side of the room is circular and does not look so curved. There is a black iron bed in the room with thick colorful blankets on the side.There is a secret door, which is a small bathroom. Jiang Ci went in and looked at it. Hot water is also provided in it.
There are many windows on the curved outer wall, and many strange flower patterns are carved on the windows. Jiang Ci stood in front of the window and looked at it, and found that from his room, he could see the high-rise building in the middle of the city.High clock tower.
He stared at it carefully for a while, and then realized that it was actually not a bell tower, but a huge temple. On the side of the temple facing him, there was an arch similar to the city gate, but more ornate than the city gate.
Jiang Ci saw the strange human-shaped face above the arch, and closed the window silently. After looking at it for a long time, he always felt that human-shaped face was staring at him.
After traveling for so long, he was also tired, so he went directly to the bathroom to wash up, and then climbed into bed.
Lying on the bed, he stared at the circular dome on the ceiling, and remembered Wang Liang's words just now in his mind.
"Xiao Lu."
"Mom, I'm here."
"Xiao Lu, protect me."
Xiao Lu's voice was as sweet as honey: "Mom will have a good night's sleep."
Just as Jiang Ci was falling asleep in peace, the city, which is the largest trading center of onyx, was busy day and night.
At the port on the other side, there are still many ships coming from far away, and there are also ships full of onyx rough stones and onyx carvings sailing to the distance.
Tang Luozhu was driving a black galley from another place.
Standing on the deck, she was thin, with white skin and hair, and light red eyes, calmly watching the magnificent ocean.
Her hands were clasped in front of her belly, and there were traces of colored paint on her pale fingers.
There were several humans standing beside her, and all of them stared at her back with fanatical and adoring eyes.
Ding Heyi was also standing among them. His condition was much worse than before. Glistening blisters appeared on his exposed skin, but the blisters did not break open. It seemed that he had reached a balance on his body.
Behind the humans, there are some low humanoid creatures doing various jobs. Those humanoid creatures are shorter than normal humans, covered with thick hair, with hooves on their feet, and small horns on top of their heads., the face is somewhat similar to that of humans, but the weird mouth that is too wide makes them look much uglier than humans.
It's Leng.
Beside the Leng people stood several toad-like gray and white disgusting creatures. They had no obvious heads, but a short pink tentacle stretched out from the front end.
"Envoy, will they really take Meng Yangqiu there?"
Someone looked at a city with black spires popping up in the distance, and asked respectfully.
Tang Luozhu's voice was soft and erratic, and it was blown away by the wind.
"They've arrived," she said.
The author has something to say:
If Boss Jiang is really caught...
