"Let's go out of the city." Meg collected his thoughts and made his way over to Amy and Ugly Duckling.
"Let's go! Ugly Duckling, this is our first time out of the city, "Amy said happily with Ugly Duckling in her arms.
"Meow, meow!" Ugly Duckling was also looking around excitedly. Its resentment from being left here alone to look after the carriage had been completely wiped away.
Meg found an excuse to get the system to put away the bicycle, and then led Amy along the smooth black stone road toward the south gate.
The south gate of Chaos City was right across from the Chaos Guild. The city wall was about 15 meters tall, and the city gate was about eight meters tall. This level of city wall wasn't considered very tall on the Norland Continent. The first city wall of Rodu in the Roth Empire was 60 meters tall and five meters thick, and could withstand a brief attack from a 10th-tier giant dragon.
Chaos City was built by all races, and in order to show peace, the height and thickness of the city wall weren't too exaggerated.
However, this didn't mean that Chaos City's defenses were very weak. Back then, the magic casters of all races had carved countless magic spell formations on the city wall, and in the past century, the magic casters of Chaos City were still constantly adding and repairing them. The magic of all races had fused together on the city wall, and Chaos City had become one of the most difficult cities to conquer on the entire Norland Continent.
There were eight soldiers in black uniforms standing in two rows at the city gate, and they had identical black longswords hanging from their waists as they scanned the people entering and leaving the city.
Meg's gaze paused on their chests for a moment. They were all wearing peace dove badges, so it seemed that the city lord's castle was responsible for guarding the city. The badges of the Gray Temple were diamond-shaped, and had a golden design on a gray background. The design differed according to the different duties. For example, the teachers of Chaos School were also considered subordinates of the Gray Temple, and their badges were a design of a pencil and a ruler.
There were all kinds of mercenaries going in and out of the city gate. Aside from giant dragons going home, normal people wouldn't choose to leave the city from this direction.
This was because there wasn't any beautiful scenery outside the southern part of the city. There were more dangerous places like the Dark Forest Swamp, the Silent Hills, the Abyss of Darkness, Stranglethorn Vale, and so on. There were all kinds of terrifying magic beasts in the wastelands outside the city, as well as some herbs and wild beasts that couldn't be found anywhere else.
Danger often came with opportunity, so this place had become a paradise for the mercenaries.
"Wait, are you leaving the city?" When Meg and Amy arrived at the city gate, a middle-aged guard in the queue suddenly reached out and stopped them. He looked at Meg and asked.
"Yes, is there a problem?" Meg nodded with a smile.
Buddy looked at Meg with a solemn expression, and said, "Outside the southern part of the city is an extremely dangerous place. Magical beasts have already appeared within five kilometers of the city. Although I don't have the right to stop you from leaving the city, I have the duty to remind you that you may encounter danger if you take your child out of the city. Please think carefully about your actions."
He had been guarding the south gate for more than twenty years, and he had seen many mercenaries who thought highly of themselves. However, it was the first time that he had seen someone like Meg, who was bare-handed and carrying a little girl and a kitten out of the city. Wasn't this a joke?
Every day, he would watch many mercenaries leave the city. When they returned at night, some of them would be missing. Some of them would be supported or carried back by their teammates. They might be missing a part of their body, or they might have lost their breath forever.
Being a mercenary was a profession that danced on the edge of a knife. After leaving the city, even the simplest mission could lead to the threat of death.
Although the Chaos Guild would update the map based on the information provided by the mercenaries every day, magical beasts wouldn't stay in one place forever. There might even be a three-star magical beast waiting for you to jump into the one-star area marked on the map. This kind of situation wasn't uncommon.
The guards at the city gate and the mercenaries who just so happened to be passing by also turned to look at Mag with curiosity and bewilderment in their eyes. This immaculately dressed man with a fair complexion clearly hadn't been exposed to the sun much, was he going to take the two little ones out of the city?
"Yes, I know that. Can we go now?" Meg nodded with a smile.
"Good luck." Buddy took a deep look at Mag before retracting his hand.
"Thank you." Meg nodded. He held Amy's little hand and walked out with the crowd. Although he was looked down on along the way, he could feel that the other party had good intentions. They didn't put on any fancy mocking scenes.
To be honest, Meg was a little disappointed. They didn't give him a chance to slap them in the face at all.
"Captain, will they be able to come back? That little girl is quite cute, "a young guard asked softly.
"I hope so." Buddy withdrew his gaze from Meg and his daughter and continued to watch the people passing by.
…
"Wow, the outside world is so big!" As soon as they walked out of the city gate, Amy opened her eyes wide and looked outside.
The world that was blocked by the tall city walls suddenly opened up. In the distance, there were mountains and hills in a picturesque disorder. Some places were shrouded in fog, while others were still glowing during the day. Meg's eyes also lit up.
At this moment, a black dot suddenly appeared in the distant sky. In an instant, it enlarged countless times and appeared above the crowd.
"A giant dragon!" someone exclaimed with a hint of excitement and fear.
"A giant dragon?" Meg looked up and narrowed his eyes.
Its huge wings blotted out the sun and cast a shadow on the ground. Its cold aura seemed to have frozen the air.
This was a Frost Dragon with a wingspan of over 30 meters. Its body was covered in snowy white scales, and its huge body didn't appear bloated at all. It was elegant and majestic. A pair of deep blue eyes swept across the crowd below. Those who were swept by its gaze felt as if their blood had frozen for an instant.
The city gate was completely silent. Most of the mercenaries didn't even dare to look up. They quickened their pace, trying to escape from the giant dragon's shadow.
Although the giant dragons didn't rule the world during the racial war, it was undeniable that they were powerful individually. This Frost Dragon's power was at least comparable to a 7th-tier magic caster. This kind of power was already in the upper echelons of any species.
The dignity of a powerhouse was not to be challenged. After leaving Chaos City, they would no longer be protected by the rules and laws of Chaos City.
"Huh? Isn't this the giant dragon that Turtle Grandpa conjured? It's so beautiful! "Right at this moment, Amy's elated voice sounded.
"Meow!" Ugly Duckling also looked up at the Frost Dragon, and extended its little paw with a hint of hostility in its eyes.
"Yes, it is indeed very beautiful." Mag nodded in agreement. Even though Mag Alex had many memories of slaying dragons, this was the first time he had seen a true giant dragon. It was as if it were a work of art that had been carved out of ice and snow. Mag's Frost Wings flapped gently, sweeping up a gust of wind and snow, completely erasing the impression that he had of a western dragon lizard with wings.
"This father and daughter …" A strange expression appeared on the mercenary's face. He hurried over to Meg and Amy.
