Outside the city at dusk, inside a town under the city.

In the abandoned small square, Su Xiao looked at the map in her hand. This was bought by Baja from an antique shop in the town. According to the Dark Bishop Bochva, most of the antique shops in the Southern Continent buy and sell stolen goods.

This map of Dusk City was bought by Baha for 5 sun gold coins.

With the strength of Su Xiao's team, of course they can grab it directly, but it's not worth it to lose their dignity in this world for a mere five sun gold coins.

In fact, every world has a hidden "fame value", which is simply reputation. Unless we can eradicate the roots without leaving any trace behind, otherwise after taking the land by force, the reputation in an area will definitely decline, and it may have an impact on the area.

As for the follow-up plan, after all, I don’t know who is the backer behind this antique shop owner.

Viewed from above, under the thousand-meter high wall surrounded by Dusk City, there are small towns of different sizes every few kilometers. These small towns are collectively called Chengxia Town, and those that are more than five kilometers away from Dusk City are

It is called a distant town.

The blood moon at night makes the world outside the high walls of Dusk City feel like purgatory at night. Even in the daytime when the sun is dim and high, the town under the city is still not safe. There are still monsters in the city during the day, but the number is not as high as at night.

That’s just too much.

There are distant towns further away. In those towns, every household has an underground shelter, or the town itself is a strange town. The best result for foreigners who mistakenly enter the strange town is to be assimilated by the strange, or worse, they are...

Devoured completely.

Compared to the past, Twilight City is indeed a bit declined and dilapidated. It is no longer the pinnacle royal city of the transcendent realm, Lieyang City. Even so, every inch of land in Twilight City is still valuable. This world does not lack fertile land, but it lacks security.

It has fertile land, so even though Dusk City is large, most of the land is used to produce food.

Looking at the entire outer city, the outer urban areas are all breeding areas and farmland. The residents of the outer city live as close to the high walls of the inner city as possible.

We had just made an agreement with Dark Bishop Bohewa to meet in the outer city. Now it seems that we have to pass through a large planting area before we can get to the outer city.

Su Xiao, Green Jillian, and Xiao headed towards the city gate. For some reason, Xiao deliberately walked on the right side of Su Xiao, letting Su Xiao separate Green Jillian. It seemed that Green Jillian was gradually getting closer.

The malicious look made Xiao feel that something was wrong.

"Who are you."

On the way, Xiao suddenly spoke. When he heard this, Green Gillian's face showed a half-smile, and Baha, who was filled with bad feelings, asked, "Can I tell you?"

"Of course, this kind of thing will be exposed sooner or later. Besides, Xiao has already boarded the pirate ship. She actually has a grudge against the Arcane Eternal Star."

Hearing this, Baha coughed slightly and introduced solemnly: "Actually, this is the famous ancestor female exterminator, Ms. Green Gillian!"

As soon as he said this, Xiao suddenly stopped where he was and looked at Green Gillian in astonishment. The next second, her figure disappeared, as if she had never existed.

"Hey~! Don't leave, I just want to make friends!"

Green Gillian was obviously a little annoyed. Baha smiled wickedly and whistled, admiring the surrounding scenery.

"Tsk~, the ideal wife in this world is gone, I have to find another one."

Green Gillian began to think casually, but Su Xiao ignored it. If outsiders saw this scene, they would definitely not feel that Green Gillian was an ancient person like the First Generation Destroyer. Not long after,

She adapts to today's era, where all kinds of mantras and trendy language emerge in endlessly.

When the group of people arrived at the city gate, it was already noon. Su Xiao took out an approval document from a big noble in the inner city. The city guards quickly let them go. This was perhaps the strongest elite regiment Su Xiao had ever seen, with a total of more than 100 members.

The main gate city guards are all extremely powerful, but they give people a different feeling from normal extremely powerful people. Although their aura is sharp and iron-blooded, it does not have the heavy feeling of extremely strong power.

If you guessed it right, these soldiers are pseudo-superpowers created with a large amount of "monster hearts". In order to be able to withstand the dark night falling once a day, it is conservatively estimated that their peak combat power stage does not exceed 5 years, and their average lifespan is very long.

Probably under 40 years old. It seems that in order to defend Twilight City, both the nobles and ordinary residents here have paid a high price.

If they are besieged by tens of thousands of such soldiers, let alone the strongest, even the most powerful top echelons will most likely not be able to withstand them and can only temporarily avoid their edge.

If the city guards in the outer city are like this, the Sun Warriors in the inner city must be even more powerful. The Old Guards composed of them are undoubtedly the pinnacle of combat power among the major forces in the world.

After passing through the somewhat cold city gate, which is several hundred meters long, the oncoming air is a bit fresh with vegetation. This is a train station. Looking around, you can see the endless rice fields in the distance, and the breeze is blowing the full rice fields.

The ears of rice rustle like an endless golden ocean.

When you get on the train, the sight you see makes you wonder, is this really an extremely dangerous realm of transcendence?

'The destroyer of law.'

A sound like a void of murmurs appeared next to Su Xiao's ears. He opened his eyes and found that Bubowang, Eminem, Baha, and even Green Jillian all looked as usual.

Is it an auditory hallucination? Su Xiao didn't think that with the strength of his soul, auditory hallucinations would suddenly appear. He closed his eyes and listened carefully. The surroundings were quiet at first, but after a while, a sound like a slowly burning candle came from the air. He

Enter a meditative state.

'Don't be deceived by the illusion constructed by the Gods, you destroy the law.'

Su Xiao opened his eyes. This time it must not be an auditory hallucination. Someone was trying to communicate with him from a distance. Faced with this situation, he took out a large bowl-like ritual utensil and asked Eminem to stand in front and hold it with both hands, and then

He injected a liquid silver-like solution into it.

The other party obviously did not expect Su Xiao to be so understanding. After hesitating for a few seconds, writing marks appeared on the solution. As if he was worried that Su Xiao could not understand the words in this world, the other party wrote 25,1350 in empty numbers.

Let Baha get the train manual, turn to the 25th city area, and look down to see No. 1350 Graystone Road, Old Friends Grocery Store.

The geographical location here is somewhat remote, at the very edge of the outer city, close to the large slums on the north side. The public security and sanitation conditions here are poor, and it has been marked as prohibited for civilians to travel at night.

The last sentence contains a lot of information. There is no curfew at night in Twilight City, which shows that the defense method here is different from the dungeon that relies on human lives. It is obviously a large-scale formation that protects the entire Twilight City at night.

.

Otherwise, the high wall surrounding Dusk City is not long enough to defend the city on the high wall, even if there are tens of millions of legions in Dusk City.

Su Xiao should ignore such invitations from unknown sources, but the last mark left by the other party is to prevent this. This mark comes from the old friend Scroll Master, who came here for some reason after leaving the world of eternal light.

"Are you sure this is an invitation from the Scroll Master? If so, I will avoid it for the time being."

When Green Gillian said this, her tone was unusually guilty, which made Baha curiously ask: "What evil things did you do to that old man?"

"Actually, it's nothing. I just sold all the rare scrolls he had accumulated for decades."

"Were you in a hurry to become stronger?"

"No, I was at the peak of my strength at that time."

"Then you are?"

"During that time, wasn't I hooking up with Anna, the owner of the House of Death? Money was tight, so I borrowed some from the old guy."

After saying that, Green Jillian opened the car window, jumped on the roof of the car, and disappeared from consciousness after a while. It seemed that she had hitchhiked to Twilight City and was not ready to continue walking with Su Xiao.

The scene outside the car window flew by. Half an hour later, a burning wooden house came into view. Near the wooden house, there were a few blood stains and pieces of clothing. Such traces could only be seen when a particularly ferocious beast devoured all the bones.

will appear, it can be seen that the city at dusk is not as safe as it seems.

When the train comes to a stop, a distant bell is heard. If you look in the direction of the sound, you will see the slightly dazzling sun at noon. A big bell will ring in the inner city of the city at dusk every day, which means that it has reached 12 noon.

point.

There were not many passengers in the station. On the benches on one side of the platform, there were a few half-grown teenagers squatting or sitting. They were wearing clothes that didn't fit very well. Their skin had a wrinkled and dirty feel because they hadn't showered for a long time.

, pairs of eyes looking around, looking for pickpocket targets.

The outer city of Dusk City has a characteristic. The closer to the high wall of the inner city, the better the security. On the contrary, in the outermost area of ​​the outer city, the security here is not much better than the slums on the north side.

There are many pedestrians on the street. The heavy rain in the morning has made the weather cooler, so pedestrians have put on coats. The means of transportation on the street can be called a museum of the times, from extremely gorgeous horse-drawn carriages to steam-driven cars and bold diesel-burning vehicles.

Vehicles are all available.

The electricity and drainage systems in the entire city are perfect, but steam and gas pipes are also all over the walls. This clearly feels like there are technology trees in this world, but their spread is very uneven. In the inner city, the technology level is at the same level, and in the outer city,

The ring is on another level, and when it reaches the outermost city area, it shows a mixed situation.

After taking the bus for four stops, we arrived at the Laoyou Grocery Store at No. 1350 Graystone Road. This grocery store is located at a crossroads and has three floors in total. The windows on the second and third floors are all there.

The interior was boarded up, and since the neighborhood was so chaotic that the sheriff was unwilling to come, naturally no one suspected this.

The situation inside was unknown. Su Xiao asked Amu and Baha to stay outside, while Bubo Wang followed him in.

Ding bell~

The brass bell hanging on the door clanged. The entire grocery store was about more than 60 square meters. There were shelves in the shape of wall cabinets on both sides. A semi-circular wooden counter was leaning against the inner corner. On the other side was a room leading to the inner room.

door, and stairs to the second floor.

There was a round table in front of the stairs. The triplets dressed as grocery workers were surrounding the wooden table, eating round fried pasta and drinking strong tea. The three of them all looked at Su Xiao.

, although there was no bad look, but based on Su Xiao's experience, he immediately judged how capable the three of them were. It would take about 10 seconds. No, considering that the triplets had the same mind, it would take about 12 seconds to kill them all.

Arriving at the bar, the girl with a single ponytail was lying on the bar, sleeping soundly, drooling. She was wearing slim-fitting clothes like a white shirt, and the outline of the muscles on her back could be vaguely seen. She seemed to be a young and beautiful girl, but

She definitely has strong melee strength.

Dong Dong~

Su Xiao knocked on the bar, and the girl who had woken up a long time ago stood up reluctantly. She breathed, stretched, and said: "Dad, the guest you are waiting for is here."

After a while, the door to the inner room opened, and inside was an extremely dense darkness. An old figure wearing a dark green robe and holding an oil lamp stood in the darkness, as if he had merged with the darkness.

"Our old mutual friend is away temporarily for something, maybe we can have a chat."

The old man spoke in the darkness. The candlelight in the lantern in his hand was very special and extremely dim.

"..."

Su Xiao walked into the inner room shrouded in darkness. It felt like there was a layer of black liquid covering the ground, walls, and ceiling. Moreover, these black liquids would also swallow up the light source. Only the dark old man held the lamp in his hand.

The candlelight will not be swallowed up by it.
To be continued...
