This place … felt really strange.
Lin's spy had now reached the lowest floor of the castle. Lin did not see any room where the Skeleton Dragon lived. Every room was filled with the only thing that could be found: wood.
A large amount of wood was squeezed in the rooms, which attracted Lin's attention. Although these rooms were filled with wood, it was obvious that they were originally used for living.
Speaking of which, in this castle, there was almost nothing made of wood. Most of them were made of stone.
This feeling was not bad because the damage to the surrounding forest was relatively small. At first, Lin thought that it might be because there were fewer trees on this island, but she did not expect to see so much wood now. If they did not use wood, why did they pile it up here? It was better to let it rot outside.
Many of the rooms on the ground floor were piled with wood, and some of them were empty. After walking through these strange rooms, Lin finally reached the gate of the castle …
The center of the bottom floor of the castle was somewhat like a large square. It was relatively empty overall. There were many Skeletal Dragon guards here. Some of them were fighting with each other in the square, as if they were training, and some were standing there in a daze. On the wall in front of her, there was a huge stone gate about ten meters tall.
Such a huge gate would definitely be difficult to open. The Skeletal Dragons also knew this, so they made a small gate next to the huge gate, just big enough for one Skeletal Dragon to pass through …
This way, the gate would be completely useless. What were they thinking when they made this gate …
The small gate was now open, and Lin walked through it easily. Finally. The spy, who had been wandering in the castle for a long time, once again felt the warmth of the sun …
And … A snow-white expanse.
Lin felt that the Skeletal Dragon's city was called 'Snow-White City' quite appropriate. The exit of the castle where the spy was now standing was located on a higher mountain. Looking down from the mountain, she could see a cluster of white buildings. This cluster of buildings stretched far, far away. Coupled with the Skeletal Dragons moving between the buildings, their colors formed a unique landscape. It was like the white snow covering thousands of miles in winter.
Although there was no winter here.
Looking back, there was a huge castle. This castle was built on a mountain. Even the nearest building was at least a hundred meters away from this castle. Perhaps the Skeletal Dragons living below would be very envious of the 'nobles' in the castle.
Lin followed the path down the hill. There were bright red flowers growing on both sides of the path, but it wasn't just here. The entire mountain around the castle was covered in flowers of different colors, and countless insects were dancing among the flowers. It would not be an exaggeration to call this mountain the 'Mountain of Flowers'.
However, Lin did not see any trees.
After walking down the mountain, Lin passed through a gate guarded by guards and entered the city. The city here felt very similar to Jade Dragon City. The buildings were not very tall, and all kinds of Skeleton Dragons were walking around with their own things. Some of them were placed on the roadside.
Just like the Emerald Dragons, they lived very busy lives. In fact, their 'wild lives' were not much different from before. Every Skeletal Dragon was in endless competition, working hard to obtain resources.
They must have lived here for a long time, but due to the size of the island or other reasons, these Skeletal Dragons did not expand infinitely. However, the number of Skeletal Dragons in the city was probably several times that of the Emerald Dragons …
Lin's Skeletal Dragon finally did not have to change color here. It took on a Skeletal Dragon form and 'blended' into the city.
"Can I have some? These things are very rare!" Almost as soon as the spy appeared, a baby Skeleton Dragon ran over and grabbed the spy's hand. It stuffed some beetles into the spy's hand and kept asking the spy to "buy" them.
Lin looked at the Skeletal Dragon cub. It seemed to have just reached the age where it could walk on its own. Even such a small cub wanted to compete. It seemed that the life of the Skeletal Dragons was not as' peaceful 'as recorded in the library.
However, this beetle was indeed very rare. Lin called it an 'art bug'. Just like its name, it could explode.
Looking at the cub that was pestering it, the spy took out some oval-shaped shell-like objects from the bag at its waist and handed them to the cub. The cub happily skipped away after receiving them.
To prevent being treated as a 'commoner', Lin's spy also wore some things on his body, like a leather bag for storing things. However, the things inside the bag were all oval-shaped shell-like objects about three centimeters long.
Lin had looked up the relevant information in the library. The Skeletal Dragons did not use the method of exchanging items. Perhaps they thought it was too troublesome because when the other party had something they wanted, they might not have something the other party wanted. This made it difficult to reach an agreement, so they used a unified method. They would exchange all their items with a kind of 'shell', and then use the 'shell' to exchange for something else.
In this way, as long as they could exchange the shell for anything they wanted, they could exchange the shell for anything they wanted.
These shells were originally the shells of a type of snail. They first picked up the original shells, then processed and carved them into small oval-shaped pieces about three centimeters long. Lin had seen a room in the castle that specialized in making such shells.
The method of making them was very special. Only specially trained Skeletal Dragons were able to carve complex drawings on them. This was probably to prevent ordinary Skeletal Dragons from making such things themselves. Moreover, the place where the shells were collected was the white beach in the distance. To get there, one had to pass through a complex and dense forest. This further increased the difficulty of obtaining the shells for ordinary Skeletal Dragons.
However, this was not a problem for Lin's spy. The spy could make shell-like objects, so it was a piece of cake for Lin to make a small piece that was exactly the same. This also meant that Lin could exchange for anything she wanted here.
Speaking of which, they liked to use the word 'trade' to represent the word 'exchange'.
"This kind of fish is delicious! You only need ten shells to have it! "" This jar was just made. Only five shells, five shells! "
Lin walked along the street. The streets were filled with the sound of hawking. Skeletal Dragons were placing their things on both sides of the street to sell. This was a common occurrence. Generally, supplies would not exceed ten shells. Some more important things, such as the 'Ostrich', which was a dinosaur raised by Skeletal Dragons, would cost tens of thousands of shells. Judging from the state of the dinosaur, it might cost even more. Usually, only a baby would be more expensive than an adult.
Speaking of which, how many shells did Lin use for the beetle? She gave it some casually. Perhaps she gave it too many, which was why it was so happy. As for the beetle, Lin had already released it.
Using the shells for transactions was also a lot more convenient for thieves. Stealing such light shells was much easier than stealing other things.
Even now, there were thieves who had their eyes on the spy's … leather bag.
Because the spy was now walking on a path with fewer dragons, he was targeted. Lin had already noticed them. Two Skeletal Dragons were hiding in a corner ahead. They would occasionally poke their heads out to take a look. Then, one of the Skeletal Dragons walked out directly.
It pretended that nothing was wrong as it watched the spy walk towards it. Although it disguised its expression well, its nervousness exposed it.
As it walked past the spy, its other hiding companion suddenly jumped out of a corner and let out a scream.
At this moment, the Skeletal Dragon beside the spy suddenly reached out to grab the spy's leather bag! But at this moment, the spy grabbed its hand even faster.
"Gah!" The White Skeleton Dragon cried out in pain, but its companion did not help it. Instead, it ran away.
No matter how he put it, this was too much.
Thinking of this, Lin let go of the Skeletal Dragon that had been grabbed by the spy. It glanced at the spy and ran away.
These Skeletal Dragons' method of stealing from their own kind was more complicated than that of the Emerald Dragons. One would scream to attract attention, and the other would take the opportunity to steal the bag? They must have thought of this method because they had been in such an oppressive environment of "urban competition" for too long.
Now, Lin continued to move forward. She was mainly heading to the west of the city. This city was near the sea, so the edge of the city was also in contact with the sea … In fact, Lin wanted to go there to see the other king.
This city of Skeletal Dragons had two kings. One was the one who stayed in the castle on the mountain and was called the Mountain King. The other was the one who stayed on the other side of the sea and was called the Sea Monarch.
Let's call them the Sea Kings. This was the White Skeleton Dragons' unique 'dual king system'. It seemed that each king had the same status and military strength. Lin found it strange that they did not fight. Perhaps it was because they happened to be one male and one female.
The reason why the Mountain King was not in the castle now was that he had gone to visit the Sea King. This also meant that the Jing Kuang could only wait in his house for the king's return.
Lin thought that there might be another castle on the Sea King's side. Maybe there was a library or something in it. She could read more information and find out the true identity of the "creator" …
Walking through the noisy streets and observing the habits of the Skeletal Dragons, Lin headed to the sea. The sky soon darkened.
The Emerald Dragons usually returned to their houses quickly when night fell, but the Skeletal Dragons did not seem to do so. They lit up the darkness with flames, and the whole city was as lively as it was during the day.
In front of the lively street filled with flames, Lin found a group of Skeletal Dragons gathered together. They were surrounding a familiar yellow creature. Floating astronomy.
