The biggest city in the Holy Continent was the Holy Helmet City. It was built on top of the Holy Helmet Mountain, and it was the only city that was not open to the public. According to the legends, other than the Holy Helmet City on top of the Holy Helmet Mountain, the entire Holy Helmet Mountain was hollow. It was the true holy land of the dwarves.
Fifty miles to the left and right of Helm City, there were two small mountains. They were called Moga Mountain and China Mountain. In order to protect their capital city, Helm City, the dwarves built two huge cities on these two mountains. They named them Moga City and China City according to the mountains they were on.
Although China City was a satellite city, it was the headquarters of the Blacksmith's Guild in the Holy Continent. This city had the most Blacksmith Masters in the Holy Continent. There was even a Grandmaster Blacksmith stationed here all year round, so you could imagine how prosperous this place was. Most of the top weapons in the Holy Continent were produced here.
This city was the same as Moga City, which was next to it. These 2 cities and the Holy Helmet City had formed the biggest defense circle in the Holy Continent. With the power of this super defense circle, even elite class holders would not dare to make a move here.
If you wanted to settle a dispute in China City, you could go to the special martial arts arena built for this purpose. That place was not restricted, and the bad-tempered dwarves always occupied that place.
Abel was riding on Black Wind, and Bartoli was riding on a war horse. Abel bought this war horse from a human merchant team tens of miles away. Originally, he wanted to bring a war horse back from Miuah City, but it fell to the ground as soon as it saw Flying Flame with Bai Yun.
At that moment, there was an immortal raven flying to his left. He was holding the Pelta New Moon in his left hand. At that moment, the knight's "shield strike" was placed on the skill tree, just like a wizard's spell. Of course, it was placed on the other branch.
Abel activated the "shield strike" from his skill tree, and a white light shot towards the immortal raven. The raven was knocked out by the "shield strike," and fell to the ground. However, the immortal raven quickly recovered and flew back to Abel's side, waiting for the next "shield strike."
This was the most effective method he had come up with to train his shield bash. Because of this method, his shield bash had already reached level 3. Of course, using this undead raven to help him train was not without conditions. Even if he was the master, torturing the summoned creature would cause the summoned creature to slack off.
The price of a bottle of 'soul potion' was the price for this immortal raven to sign this unfair contract. It would help its master train until the skill was maxed out. Of course, its cunning master did not specify what kind of skill it was when he signed the contract with the raven. Maybe in the next few decades, this immortal raven would become a training target.
As an immortal raven, it did not need to worry about its life. It was almost immune to all skills other than restriction skills. Of course, if it was trapped somewhere and its master could not summon it back, there was a high chance that the master would summon a new immortal raven, and it would automatically die.
"Master, we are almost at Kitchener City!" Bartoli gently reminded. She was still holding the Dark Fire Magic Staff in her hand. She would not take it out unless she was in a battle. The technology used to make that magic staff was too advanced. It was far beyond the standards of the Holy Continent.
"We're almost there!" Abel was caught off guard. He was so focused on his' shield strike 'that he didn't even notice the passing of time. He gazed at the giant city in front of him and said.
He put away the immortal raven and put the Pelta Lunata back into his portal bracelet. Afterward, he tidied up his clothes, which were a little messy from using the 'shield strike' too many times. He would meet other people soon. The immortal raven was a summon of the Druil, so it was best to put it away as soon as possible.
The closer they got to Kitchener City, the more Abel understood why this place was called a forbidden city. He saw 6 magic towers with more than 10 floors on the outskirts of Kitchener City. The tallest one was 18 floors. It was the tallest magic tower Abel had seen so far.
Abel took a deep look at the magic tower. He felt like he was on a pilgrimage. Elite wizards, especially rank 18 ones, were very rare in the human world. As far as he knew, Wizard Cliff was only rank 16, but his power was already unstoppable. What kind of power would a rank 18 wizard have?
The 50-meter-tall city wall was filled with tall shooting holes. Judging from the dwarves' work, it was probably filled with crossbows. Only the dwarves had the ability to set up so many crossbows. These crossbows could directly break through a wizard's defense, and they were almost the nightmare of all creatures.
When Abel arrived at the city gate and was about to take out his Master Blacksmith badge, a middle-aged man in a white robe quickly stepped up and bowed. "The respected Master Abel, welcome to Kitchener City. I am Rohr, the receptionist of the Blacksmith's Guild."
"You know me?" Abel asked. He was sure that not many people had seen him before. First of all, he was very young, and this was his first time participating in a big event like this. Second of all, he had entered the magic tower a long time ago to study. After he became a Master Blacksmith, he didn't show his face much in public.
"The respected Master Abel, your mount is very rare among humans. Master Thorin has already informed us that you will be coming to the Blacksmith's Guild soon, so the guild asked me to wait for you here." Rohr replied carefully.
"Sorry to trouble you. Please lead the way!" Abel smiled and bowed.
It seemed like the headquarters of the Blacksmith's Guild took Abel's arrival very seriously. They even arranged for someone to wait for him here. Abel looked around, but he didn't see any other white-robed Blacksmith's Guild staff waiting for him. There must be something else that he didn't know.
With that in mind, Abel followed Rohr into the giant city by the mountain. Once they entered the city, there were stairs everywhere. The buildings on both sides were like multi-layered buildings, extending upwards.
Rohr was riding on a creature called the Chocobo. This creature was a specialty of the Earth-Dividing Basin, and it was also one of the favorite mounts of human wizards. The Chocobo easily traversed the stairs. Of course, this precious mount didn't belong to Rohr. It was the public mount of the Blacksmith's Guild. Bartoli's warhorse, on the other hand, was having a hard time going up the stairs.
Only the Black Wind that Abel was riding on didn't care about the terrain. Stairs and flat ground made no difference to it. Even a slightly higher platform would be a piece of cake for a mount wolf, let alone a mount wolf like Black Wind, which was many levels higher.
"Rohr, why are the houses getting more and more luxurious as you go up?" Abel couldn't help but ask as he looked around.
"Master Abel, Kitchener City is a city where fighting is forbidden. That's why it's an ideal place for humans, dwarves, and even elves who don't like fighting or running away from their enemies. Since more and more people are coming here, a rule has been formed. The lower you go, the lower your status. The higher you go, the higher your status or ability. Of course, the most important thing is your contribution to Kitchener City. Newcomers can only live here temporarily. Only when they have enough contribution points can they officially live in Kitchener City and buy a house!" Rohr explained the rules of Kitchener City to Abel in detail.
"A city where fighting is forbidden? I'm afraid only the dwarves with their giant defensive circle can say something like that!" Abel sighed.
There were very few human cities with defensive circles. Since human bodies couldn't withstand the erosion of mana, wizards would build magic towers near the city. This way, the normal people in the city wouldn't be affected by mana leakage, and they could also enjoy the resources in the city. Basically, no city had the ability to say "a city where fighting is forbidden."
