A few days later, a travel-worn Cambrona came to Void City with Jane, who was still ignorant.
This was probably the most prosperous city in the whole world on the Main Plane. It had been established for almost 50 years.
Over the past 50 years, it had weathered several storms, but it still stood strong. Not even a single resident had been killed in those earth-shattering crises. It was a well-deserved country of peace and happiness.
Over the past 50 years, all kinds of delicacies, all kinds of entertainment and pastimes, all kinds of new things had appeared here continuously, and then spread to all parts of the Main Plane, more or less promoting the progress of the entire Main Plane.
Cambrona had never been here before. When he was young, he was a black-hearted litigator, busy making money and had no time to spare. Later, he was worried about his wife and was unwilling to travel far, so he always stayed near Meer City.
So, although he had heard countless times about how prosperous and magnificent this city was, he was still deeply shocked by what he saw in front of him the moment he passed through the portal.
In front of him was a large square. Including the portal he came out of, there were more than a dozen huge portals standing around the square. Each of them was built differently. Some were a pair of ears of wheat, some were a gear, some were a mountain, some were a flame … Inside the different outer frames, all of them were portals formed by pure white light, leading to various prosperous towns on the Main Plane. For example, behind him, the portal that looked like a ball of light held up by two hands just now that he had just walked out of was leading to the capital of the Mifata Federation, the Highest Tower.
This square was already quite large. Compared to it, the central square of Meer City could only be considered a child. But for Void City, it was nothing.
In front of the square, there was a road that could accommodate at least a hundred people walking side by side. It went straight into the distance. Because of his poor eyesight, he could not see what the end of the road looked like, but he could see that there were several extremely tall buildings at the end of the road.
First, there was a tower that looked like it was made of gemstones, twisting and turning into the air. He could vaguely see that there were several platforms of different heights on it. There seemed to be something on the platforms, but he could not see it clearly.
On the other side, there was a huge … he couldn't tell what it was. It was fiery red, curved, and had a huge arc in one section. As he stared at it, he saw something moving on it, sometimes fast, sometimes slow. He did not know whether it was an illusion or not.
There was also a steeple that towered into the clouds. The top of the steeple was enlarged, like an oblate ball with only the bottom half. He felt that the flat ball seemed to be spinning, but whether it was or not, he would have to go closer to know.
Apart from that, there was another huge circle erected on the ground. On the border of the circle, there seemed to be something … that he couldn't describe or see clearly. It felt like the whole circle was spinning.
Next to the circle, there were two square towers that were connected to each other. One side of the towers was especially wide, while the other side had a long horizontal bar. It seemed like something had fallen from above and was pulled back by something.
Apart from these buildings that were obviously man-made, there was also a mountain peak that might or might not be man-made. It was obvious that something was circling around the mountain, but … sigh! Cambrona hated his poor eyesight. Over the years, he had suffered more than once because of his poor eyesight.
"Bro, don't block the way!" Just as he stopped to look, he heard the cries of pedestrians behind him. "Excuse me, excuse me!"
Only then did he realize that he was blocking the portal. He hurriedly apologized and took his wife a few steps to the side, to a place that would not affect the traffic.
"Jane, what do you think of the view here?" he asked as he walked.
Jane stopped, looked around, and stared into the distance. After a while, she said, "It's a beautiful view, but I don't know why, I don't like it."
"Huh? You don't like it? "Cambrona was surprised. It was the first time he had heard of someone who did not like the scenery of Void City!
"Well, I always feel that there's something here that I hate," Jane said. "But … there's also something that I miss and yearn for …"
She said as she looked left and right carefully for a while, then reached out and pointed in a direction. In that direction, they could vaguely see a patch of green.
"It's there. I always feel that there's something there, calling me."
When she said this, her expression was a little blank, but there was an imperceptible flash of light in her eyes.
Cambrona was almost a complete henpecked man. If his wife said to go east, he would never go west. If his wife said to beat a dog, he would never beat a chicken. Since his wife said that there was something there that attracted her, what was he waiting for?
Let's go!
However, there was no road leading in that direction. To be cautious and to prevent getting lost, Cambrona came to a big man in a blue and white short-sleeved shirt with a white label on his chest. He was obviously a staff member of the amusement park and asked how to get there.
"There?" The big man with "Kazuna" written on the nameplate was stunned for a moment. He thought about it and said, "You might be talking about the direction of the Tree of God. If you want to go to the Tree of God, you have to go to the Central Square first. After that, go to the North Square and go there from the North Square."
He thought about it and said, "Although the Tree of God is a famous attraction, it's almost in the northernmost part of Void City, and the portal square is in the southernmost part. Are you sure you want to go through the entire Void City and go straight to the Tree of God? That's a bit of a waste of time. "
Cambrona looked back at his wife, who did not seem to have changed her mind.
"To be honest, we're most curious about the Tree of God …" So he made up a random reason.
The big man laughed. "Brother, you may not know this, but my greatest strength is that I'm good at seeing through lies."
Cambrona, who was exposed on the spot, was a little embarrassed. He laughed twice but still insisted on seeing the Tree of God first.
"Since we're going to see the Tree of God, we can't walk on foot." The big man pointed in a direction and said, "Go to the edge of the square, that's where I'm pointing. See a long green platform with a shed on it? Look at the words on the wall next to it … Oh, you can't see clearly because you're short-sighted. Let me tell you, that's the bus stop. This is the 'South Square — Portal' stop. You can take the bus there, get off at 'Central Square North', and then change to the 'North Square — Tree of God's' direction. The terminal is not far from the Tree of God. Just walk there after you get off. "
Cambrona was slightly stunned. He did not expect the transportation in Void City to be so convenient. He thanked him and curiously went straight to the bus stop with his wife.
The bus stop was large enough to accommodate hundreds of people waiting. At this time, there were already twenty or thirty people waiting there. They were from all races and looked different, but they all had a calm and confident temperament, which let people know at a glance that they lived a good life.
While waiting for the bus, there were people chatting with each other.
"Hey, did you watch yesterday's' Adventures of the Handsome Orc '?" A man with pointy ears, a thin and tall figure, who looked like a half-elf, said with a smile. "It's so funny. That big guy is always worried that he'll be drugged and dragged to be bred … He's so big!"
"It's mainly because the eyes of the elven girls are too scary. I'm scared too." The man who answered him was shockingly large. He had a prominent beard on his face, two fangs protruding from his lips, and his tan skin was quite rough. He was clearly a half-orc.
"Pfft, we elves don't drug others and then drag them to be bred!" A green-haired, delicate, purebred female elf next to him curled her lips in disdain. "One spell is enough to take someone down."
"… You're retorting in the wrong direction!" The half-orc took half a step back and pretended to be a little afraid. "Why is this the point of the rebuttal?"
Cambrona found it funny when he saw how worried he was about his chastity, and how the female elf was obviously shorter than him, but her aura clearly overwhelmed him. He almost laughed out loud.
At this time, many people on the platform were already laughing.
"Your lines are right … You can go on TV!"
"This is a good performance. I give you nine points. I'll deduct one point for fear that you'll be too proud!"
"Hurry up and go to the entertainment industry. It's a waste of talent if you don't do crosstalk!"
Seeing everyone laughing, and the half-orc and female elf also laughing, Cambrona realized that they had just acted out a scene from a play.
"It looks interesting. After Jane recovers, we might as well stay here for a while and watch all these interesting plays …"
Soon after, the bus arrived.
The bus of Void City was a huge metal square box with rows of wheels underneath. It was pulled by a mechanical creature that looked a bit like a spider, but it had much more and much shorter legs than a spider.
As soon as it arrived at the stop, the half-elf who had spoken before smiled and greeted it. "Hey, Du Jaden, you look good."
The spider turned its head and revealed a human-like smile. Its eyebrows even twitched twice. "I'm doing well every day."
Everyone laughed and got on the bus. There were seats of all sizes distributed in the bus. Big people like the half-orc sat in the big seat at the back, while small people like the gnome naturally sat in the small seat in the front.
Cambrona and his wife sat in the two seats near the door. They imitated the passengers next to them and tied a pair of silver ribbons on both sides of the armrests to their bodies. Then they heard the voice of the mechanical creature called "Du Jaden".
"Bus No. 13 is about to depart. Passengers, please sit in your seats and fasten your seat belts."
Then it counted down from ten seconds. After ten seconds, the bus suddenly accelerated and rushed forward as if it was flying.
Cambrona was startled. Seeing that most of the other passengers were used to it, he was relieved.
Looking at the speeding scene outside the window, he couldn't help but laugh.
This Void City … was really amazing!
