Twenty-two, the shallowest dungeon (Part 2)

Like Lixuan City above, this "shallowest dungeon" is also a deserted and dilapidated city.

When Feili really entered the block of Weiguang City and walked a short walk on the rugged "streets", a little bit of admiration from this magnificent city disappeared from her heart.

——To use the definition of "a garbage dump that was once a place of gatherings of intelligent life" to describe the current Wei Guang City, it is not too much. The residents here are sparse and deserted, and there is no living thing except rocks and sand. Around the way, there are all kinds of strange garbage and ruins. Because the Lixuan city residents who live on it seem to regard this place as the most convenient landfill, throwing all the rags down, and just pulling a sewer to dump feces and pees - because they have to put the feces and pees into the farmland to feed the fields.

The bottom of the city, or the "dried underground lake bed", was buried a small half by sand, and the other half was full of rugged rocks and various garbage dumps. Walking like climbing a mountain and crossing the country, your toes were hurting, which was even harder than trekking in the desert.

If he was elsewhere, in order to maintain his demeanor and appearance, Marshal Fili Taylor had long used flying techniques or even portals to rush to avoid his feet suffering. But in this haunted magic area, he could only rely on his legs to move deep and shallowly, just like ordinary people.

After walking a long way at the bottom of the dry lake, everyone climbed a rope ladder and climbed a higher rocky platform, which was a street crisscrossing like spider webs. In front of the road, a cylindrical lighthouse more than fifty feet tall stood high in the center of this messy block. The top had collapsed and looked gloomy, as if a not-so-friendly doorman was looking at every visitor pickyly.

The caves and stone houses and towers built around are now abandoned. Some doors and windows are nailed with wooden boards, while others are scattered. They are covered with thick dust and there is no trace of life. Feili frowned and tried to find out if there are any traces of living things. As a result, except for the cockroaches everywhere, they only found a dog's bone in a dark corner.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————

The panicking lonely journey still continues in this abandoned dungeon. Countless abandoned caves and houses are silent in the glimmer of light from the crater, as if no one has ever lived. In this strange silence, no matter how soft and powerless the footsteps are, as long as they fall on the dusty stone road, they will make a very terrible sound... Therefore, people always feel involuntarily in danger, and the atmosphere is extremely depressing. Even the talkative person is inexplicably lost in the conversation...

In a silence, they walked through one uninhabited abandoned house after another, then stepped onto the stone bridge, and crossed a gurgling stream with turbid water - this is the only remnant of the ancient underground lake water and one of the sources of life for the two cities above and below the ground. Several huge water wheels stood erected by the stream, but the faint water flow could no longer push its leaves and could only go around from both sides of the water wheel.

On the other side of the stream is a lush forest of giant mushrooms, with some big bearded gray dwarfs appearing in it. Seeing Her Majesty the Queen suddenly arrive, they all left their work behind and bowed and bowed to caress their chests.

Behind the Giant Mushroom Forest, there were finally blocks with residents. Many idle houses were transformed into mushroom cultivation grounds, while others were dirty cages covered with hay, squeaking gerbils were raised. Some haggard gray dwarves, underground dwarfs and taurens were "floating" in the narrow alley like wandering souls. They looked very thin and had a particularly bad mental outlook, as if they had not eaten for three days. According to the Queen, it seemed that the ban on brewing was issued due to food shortage...

Strangely, although this is a city dominated by gray dwarves, Feili has never seen a metallurgical workshop, which is very inconsistent with the nature of this natural miner race. After asking the Queen, I learned that the veins of this Glitter City had long been exhausted. The dwarves had nothing to do except polish obsidian, plant mushrooms, and raise gerbils. Even if there is a small amount of pig iron and iron ore trafficked from other places, they will be smelted and forged in the Lixuan City above, and they will not be so hard to transport the things to the ground.

After turning a few turns in this block, a rusty door appeared in front of everyone. An old dwarf with a gray beard sat on the threshold and dozed off with a mace. Her Majesty the Queen signaled her guards to knock on the ground with a sword sheath, which made him wake up in a daze.

"...We have arrived. This is Mr. Fitras, the mayor of Glimmer City...."

Queen Lixuan pointed at the old dwarf sitting on the threshold and introduced to Feili and her party, "Okay, please open the door, they are the Western visitors that Lord Sage appointed to meet."

The old dwarf raised his head and looked at Feili and others deeply for a few glances before taking out a key from his pocket. The key was old and there were obvious signs of breakage and connection. He turned around and inserted the key into the key hole, turned around, making a crisp click sound, but there was no reaction.

He smiled awkwardly, knocked his fist on the door a few times, but he still couldn't open it, so he had to swing the mace... Unfortunately, before he hit the door, the old dwarf had already fallen to the ground with a "ouch", as if he was dodging to the waist...

Seeing such a humorous and magical funny scene, Feili couldn't help but touch her forehead - if this was not a dead magic area, he could easily open the door with just a "knocking technique (lock-opening technique). But now...

He looked back at the guys who followed him, and they didn't seem very strong. Finally, he had to wink at the fake lady Heijima Hitomi. The fake lady Heijima sighed reluctantly, but he still took out the kettle, poured a handful of cold water on his head, and then recited the magic trick... With a loud "bang" and a "tearing" sound of clothes, the black-haired fake lady from the Japanese island country turned into a furry giant panda

Then, the giant panda that had just changed just raised the soles of fat dundo's feet and kicked it casually on the door. The door panel that had just been stuck fell into pieces with a "boom" and a piece of dust rose...

Well, Major General Kuroshima Hito, your way of opening the door is a bit too violent, it's all like a robber...

The corners of the queen's mouth twitched, but it was not easy to blame anything, so she had to step in with her teeth and walked in, and the others followed her in. At the end of Feili, she saw the old dwarf lying on the ground and humming, and then went over to help him, "...Oh, in this haunted dead magic area, not only is the healing technique unavailable, but my healing potion seems to have failed... Can you still hold on?"

"...Ahem, I really didn't expect it to be so ugly... This should have been a magic door that automatically opens and closes, but now... Alas, when there is magic, I always feel that I can't use it. After I really don't have magic, it's really unbearable..."

The old dwarf beat his waist and grinned his face with a ravine lump, muttering, "...Thank you for caring about me, the old man, but this little back pain is really nothing. Don't look at me now and I'm so old that I'm not good at it. A hundred years ago, I, Fitras Storm, was also a very famous adventurer until later, I was shot in my knee..."

Facing the nagging dwarf guard, Feiri couldn't help but sigh and rolled her eyes, left him and continued to sit on the ground and complain, then walked straight into the corridor behind the door...
