"So this is the destination?"
At first, Xu Shenxing had been influenced by the local tomb-robbing dramas, so much so that he thought the place the city lord had instructed them to go to was definitely a relatively remote place, even if it wasn't the wilderness.
But in truth, this place called Western Continent Town was fairly flourishing.
"That's because the Western Continent Cliff originally didn't have too many resources. But several years ago, an exploration team from the east discovered an astonishing amount of Illum veins on the Windy Plateau. Add to that the special stone materials of the Windy Plateau itself have many uses, this area gradually prospered as the veins were mined."
As a noble, Louise, who had more information channels than commoners, naturally knew about the situation in this area. She told Xu Shenxing what she knew about this area.
"So that's how it is. But this makes things a bit troublesome …"
If this place was as desolate as Xu Shenxing had thought, finding a few people wouldn't be too troublesome.
But it was much more difficult to find the culprit in this situation. He didn't even know which way to go.
"Is there no way to find the way automatically? This isn't good."
Just as Xu Shenxing was feeling vexed over this matter, Louise came up with an idea.
"Why don't we go directly to the leader of the Timothy Empire and ask for her help?" She suggested to Xu Shenxing, "If we use the name of the neutral city of Luomosi, they might help us."
"I don't have any other ideas anyway. Let's do as you say."
Xu Shenxing naturally wasn't unreasonable and immediately decided to use the young lady's method.
Although they could have gone directly to the Western Continent Town's mayor, there was an eighty percent chance that the other party had no clue about the so-called tomb robbers.
Or rather, if it was a group of tomb robbers that could be dealt with by a mere mayor, there was no need for the governor of Luomoxi to entrust this matter to Xu Shenxing.
"The leader of Timosyne, the Queen of the Western Region, Shalania Catarina K. Alucado, lives in the Suspended Palace on the Western Cliff," Roland explained to Xu Shenxing as he pointed at the cliff in the distance that looked like a huge wall between heaven and earth. "It's a building that was left behind from the Legendary Era and built with materials that can only be produced in the Abyss. That's why it can stand for so many years without collapsing."
"In addition, some people say that the Queen of the Western Region, Shalania Catarina K. Alucado, is also an ancient who has lived since the Legendary Era. In fact, I used to think that this was just a rumor, but after meeting the Lord of Luomosi, I feel that this ridiculous saying might actually be true."
Louise smiled embarrassedly.
"If that's the case, then this … um, the Princess of the Western Region with a very long name should know the City Lord of Luo Moxi. Maybe she can really help us. "
Xu Shenxing listened to the girl's words and couldn't help but nod his head.
"But the problem now is how to go up to the Suspended Palace. The Queen of the Western Region, Shalania Catarina K. Alucado, and her servants are all vampires, so they basically fly up. It's not easy for ordinary people to go up. Even the steam gliders produced by the Steam Chamber of Commerce can easily crash into the cliff and self-destruct … "
When it came to business, the girl couldn't help but frown as she became distressed.
"Ah, leave this to me."
Xu Shenxing confidently took care of everything.
Louise naturally didn't doubt this' Lord Evil God 'and peacefully left the matter of how to go up the mountain to Xu Shenxing.
Thus, after the two finished their lunch in the Western Town, they continued to rush to the bottom of the Western Cliff.
As the saying goes, if you look at a mountain, it will kill a horse. Although looking at the majestic Western Cliff from the Western Town, it actually took the two nearly four hours to reach the Western Cliff at a normal speed of about 40 km/h after renting a carriage.
After temporarily parking the carriage in a quarry under the Western Cliff, the two began to look for the location of the Suspended Palace.
"The cliffs here are bare. No matter how I look at it, it doesn't look like there's a palace hidden here … Or rather, when we rushed here from Western Town, I found it strange because I couldn't see the floating palace you mentioned at all."
After searching for half a day, Xu Shenxing couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Even if his strength decreased, the 'characteristics' he possessed would not disappear. Whether it was camouflage or illusion, they were ineffective against Xu Shenxing. On the contrary, things like optical camouflage that didn't affect him were a little effective against him.
In theory, if something like optical camouflage was used on something too large like a palace, then even Xu Shenxing should be able to vaguely see the outline of the object.
"Yes, I'm not too sure about the specifics, but the original owner of the Suspended Palace was also a vampire, so it only appears at night."
Louise racked her brains to recall her pitiful knowledge of the Suspended Palace on the Western Cliff.
Xu Shenxing looked up and found that although most of the sky was blocked by the cliff, the exposed part was just dyed a little red.
It was probably dusk now.
"In other words, we have to wait here for a few more hours?"
Louise hurriedly nodded.
Just as Xu Shenxing helplessly sighed and planned to find a place to take a dump, the sound of flapping wings came from above them.
"Ah, it's a Nightstick!"
Louise cried out in surprise like an ordinary little girl.
"A Nightstick?"
Could it be that the creator of this world was also a fanatical Harry Potter fan?
With such doubts, Xu Shenxing looked up and saw two creatures that looked like bats that were magnified ten times over descending from the sky.
Other than the fact that their wings looked like bats, these two creatures that were slightly larger than calves looked more like monsters from another world called 'wyverns'.
However, from their silly appearance with their tongues hanging out like huskies and drooling like saliva, it was hard to be hostile.
"Yes, a Nightstick is a very rare magical creature. It is said that it was once the pet of one of the First Eight Races, the Nightstick. But after the Nightstick went extinct, the Nightstick became rare."
Louise seemed to like this animal a lot. When she spoke, her eyes sparkled, making Xu Shenxing involuntarily think of Mo Li who saw delicious food. "They are very friendly to humans and almost never attack them. Also, when they meet people in the wild in distress, they will provide help. Because the Nightstick can melt into the night and not be harmed by humans, it was listed as a magical creature in the 120th revision of the Illustrated Handbook of Magical Creatures. In addition, its cute and furry appearance is very likable, so it is very popular in the Shaking Wind Chime Chamber of Commerce's series of magical creature dolls. "
"Is this thing cute?" Xu Shenxing looked at the two large bats. No matter how he looked at it, it had nothing to do with the word 'cute'.
As for melting into the night, Xu Shenxing felt that 80% of it was the ability to transform into nothingness. At most, it was just subspace travel. It was nothing too noteworthy.
The two large bats did not pay attention to Xu Shenxing. They just grabbed the edge of the carriage, one at the front and one at the back, and directly lifted the carriage together.
"Whoa whoa?" Xu Shenxing could not help but make a sound of doubt.
"Don't worry, the Queen of the West, Shalania Katarina K. Alucado, is the only person in this world who can domesticate a Nightstick. They are probably sent by the other side to take us to the floating palace. "
