It seemed that the silly bird had learned a lot after being outside for so long, such as how to use cutlery and drink soup. During the meal, I was delighted to see that the little crow no longer grabbed the food directly with her hands. She also didn't smash her head into the bowl of soup when she drank the soup. When we were at home, this silly bird had caused us a lot of trouble. Every time she ate, I wanted to be next to her as a cover. She could evenly distribute the food within a two-meter radius.
It was much better now. Although she still looked a little clumsy, the little crow learned to use a spoon to drink soup and a chopstick to eat flatbread. It was much better than grabbing the food with her hands, right?
Because I wanted to experience the local food (and also to prevent a certain gluttonous queen from eating to the point where the whole city would be looking at her), we went around for two hours and changed several battle locations. In fact, sometimes I was quite envious of Sandora. I was envious of her extraordinary appetite and endless appetite. If you went to a place you had never been to to experience the local food, that talent would obviously have a huge advantage. You could eat the same amount of food that others would eat for half a month. Ordinary people would be stuffed to death after eating a few bites of each type of local food. However, Sandora went around the whole city and almost set off to eat another meal 200 kilometers away. In the end, I succeeded in persuading her.
"Wow … I feel quite full." My gluttonous queen finally patted her stomach in satisfaction and let out a sigh of satisfaction. I couldn't help but look at her slender waist curiously. Well, the prime minister's stomach could move a boat, in Sandora's case.
"The taste is pretty good, and they're all commoner dishes with a lot of variety." Lin Xue exhaled as if she was relaxing her stomach. "This world is quite knowledgeable when it comes to food. I don't think the snacks here are any less than ours. Especially that three-layered fruit bowl. How did they come up with that idea? The person who invented that must have too many things to waste … "
"There are a lot of fun things here," Liliana said with a smile. "You know, this planet is one size larger than Earth, and the land area accounts for more than 64%. More than half of it is habitable, which means that the living space here is several times that of Earth — and that's not including the lost worlds. In such a huge world, there were more than a dozen highly intelligent races with independent cultural systems. Some of them were native species, while others were hybrids that appeared after a few gaps in history, independent from the original race and cultural system. With so many races and cultural branches, and all of them had existed since ancient times until now, the amount of things that could be produced was uncountable. Of course, you might not be able to accept the food of some races, such as the roasted stone eggs of the Hill Elves and the raw meat feast of the Wards. But I don't think Sister Sandora will feel any pressure. "
Sandora was already fascinated, "Ah Jun, you must drag this world to the Empire District — definitely!"
After eating and drinking to their heart's content, everyone seemed to be filled with energy. This might have something to do with the combination of Shallow Shallow and Liliana, the explosive and catalyst, finally mixing together. As long as the two of them were together, they basically crushed daily life. You can imagine what a terrifying combination it would be when an actionist whose thoughts were often located in a parallel dimension and a troublemaker whose morals were often located in a different dimension were mixed together. But fortunately, this time, their goal was to travel around and not to destroy the world. Thus, we spent close to a day to go around the entire Port Centu. Yes, we went around the more prominent districts. After all, this was not a small city. Of course, the guide was Liliana. Even though she had only been here for slightly more than a day (They rushed over after confirming the teleportation location of the Ancient Garden to the Mother Continent. Liliana and the other three had been staying elsewhere), the way this lass rambled along the way could almost be mistaken for the locals. Needless to say, after arriving here, Liliana did not do anything other than try her best to gather information from the locals, just so that she could chatter in front of me for an entire day in exchange for a possible compliment. When faced with this lass' unusual way of working hard, I really had no idea what to do.
As a city that acted like a transit station, the surface area of Port Centu was rather large, but there weren't many residential areas or places that could be described as unique. The area that faced the 'port' (the locals sometimes called the large plain "dry port", which was quite realistic) was basically occupied by various inns and rental warehouses. One-third of the city was also related to the circulation of goods, so there wasn't much to see. The more unique places, other than the central square, were the 'Special Resource Trading Market' and the 'Secret Spell Gathering'. The former was the place that explorers were most familiar with. They found rare materials or scrap metal that might have research value in the Lost World that had yet to be completely controlled by humans and sold them at the 'Special Resource Trading Market'. The buyers were basically alchemists and scholars. The status of the former was gradually declining in this world, while the latter was highly respected. This was a place where two vastly different classes had no choice but to come into direct contact. Prosperous, Bizarre — The rewards of explorers were always fluctuating greatly. They were also loose and unorganized, so no one was able to monopolize the flow of goods in this trade. Thus, even to this day, this kind of wholesale trade of small goods still existed. The 'Special Resource Trading Market' was located next to the central square of the city, in front of a dark alley.
Meanwhile, the 'Secret Spell Gathering' was located on the other side of the city, almost at the outskirts of the city. This was because the 'Secret Spell Gathering' required a relatively quiet environment, and the people who gathered there were basically all researchers who needed a quiet environment.
Liliana emphasized on introducing the Secret Spell Gathering. She had a lot of praise for this unique facility. It was a public facility that served the mages, alchemists, religious believers, and other strange researchers of this world. It provided all applicants with basic materials and venue services, as well as information inquiries and commissions. In other words, if you were an alchemist who needed to go out to do research, then you could find the local Secret Spell Gathering, pay a certain processing fee, and rent a laboratory to start your own work. Of course, you could also use the aforementioned identity to find lodging facilities here that were much better than in the city, although the price would also be much higher than in the city. How should I put it? Scientific research has always been a money-burning profession …
After listening to Liliana's introduction, I felt that this public facility called the Secret Spell Gathering was a bit like a public laboratory with a high degree of freedom, and it also had the function of a library. The Secret Spell Gathering didn't belong to any organization. It was similar to an open museum, a library, a laboratory, and a talent market on Earth. There were individuals who invested in it, and there were also large merchant associations who invested in it. The scale of the Secret Spell Gathering varied. This was something unique to this world, and it was also the place where we were going to rest today. Liliana had rented an area here for a long period of time, using a feather from Medivh.
"Our registered identities are religious believers," Liliana said excitedly, trying to claim credit for herself. "Crow God believers! The religious environment in this world is too free. There are many gods, and there are even gods who only have three to five believers. You can make up your own god, and no one from other churches will attack you. Ah, this world is simply a paradise made for me, Pope … We're here. "
I was still busy analyzing how a religious war wouldn't break out in this world full of gods that Liliana had mentioned. It was only then that I realized that we had arrived at the outskirts. This place was located on the other side of the city, directly opposite the port transit area. There weren't any ordinary residential areas in the surroundings. The buildings were sparse, and there weren't any ordinary civilians wearing coarse clothes walking on the streets. The people who strolled on the wet stone pavement that had just been sprinkled with water were mostly well-dressed scholars. Although there were many scholars who didn't care about their appearance, and most people who devoted themselves to learning didn't know how to take care of their daily lives, a slightly successful scholar would always have one or two assistants to take care of them. So, the mages and alchemists that I could see outside were more or less well-dressed.
I looked around. The few houses that were scattered around were clearly different from the rest of the city. They were taller, and the lines were more slender and elegant. The main body of the building was no longer a rough structure of wood and stone. Instead, it was built with a more advanced construction technique. These tall buildings with elegant lines were completely white, and there were no gaps in the bricks. It was obvious that the walls had been treated with something similar to paint. The roofs of all the buildings were covered with golden glass, and from afar, they looked magnificent. Looking at the scenery around me, I really wanted to sigh. Those who were related to mages were indeed a group of rich people — at least, the merchant associations that had invested in them were like that. Speaking of which, the most beautiful building in the Shadow City was the mage tower in the Silver Moon District.
"Magic and knowledge are elegant arts," Liliana read a line of words floating in the air in front of the entrance of the square, and then added her own opinion, "So, those who study this stuff are basically showy. After all, more than half of the researchers in this world are considered to be in the magic side, so almost all the Secret Spell Societies have this style." After sighing, she took out a metal plate the size of a matchbox and waved it in the air. The line of light blocking in front of us disappeared into thin air. Is this the access control system of another world?
The entire Secret Spell District was an independent area about the size of the central square of the city. There were no walls around it, but it was surrounded by a circle of light that pointed straight to the sky. These light beams were fences formed by magic power, and they were activated by a row of metal plates embedded in the ground. The metal plates were engraved with complex magic patterns, and at the same time, the metal plates could sense the energy field of the waving 'keys' nearby. If they were disturbed by the keys, the light beams would temporarily disappear for a while. Reality proved that even without the advanced technology of Earth, the magic civilization could still achieve many sci-fi things, such as laser barriers and inductive monthly votes.
"We'll be staying in the tower in front of us. In this world, there's no population pressure, and only alchemists and mages can produce high-strength building materials. So, the buildings aren't too tall. Only some scholars like to live in high places to broaden their minds, and also to exhaust the tabloid reporters halfway up the tower. There's something like an elevator in the tower, but under no circumstances, the elevators and teleportation arrays are not open to reporters. This is the basic code of ethics for all scholars in this world." Lina led us to a white tower. The base of the tower was at least a hundred meters in diameter, and its height was around four to five hundred meters. In this world where the average building height was only three to four stories, it was like a giant building. From this, it could be seen how much the experts and scholars hated the tabloid reporters. If it weren't for their lack of material science, they would've built Burj Khalifa all over the world. Lina swiped her card at the door and led us to the hall on the first floor of the tower. "We're on the twentieth floor. We've booked the entire floor. Little Bird's feathers are really good stuff. When she's ready to shed, I can buy the entire Centu …"
The first floor of the white tower was a circular hall. Yes, there were no other rooms on the first floor, only a very wide hall. The floor of the hall was paved with green and light gray tiles. On average, there was a thick pillar supporting the high ceiling every ten meters. There was a gorgeous crystal chandelier above the ceiling, brightly illuminating the entire hall. The bright and stable light was obviously not from fuel. In a circle around the hall, I could see many semi-arc-shaped service desks. Every one of these desks had uniformed staff members on duty, flashing a toothy smile at every person who passed by. There were many people dressed in all kinds of clothes, but they had hurried expressions on their faces as they walked around the hall. The first feeling I got from this atmosphere was that when I opened the door, I wouldn't see another world, but a commercial airliner that was about to take off …
What was even more eye-opening were the four hollow crystal pillars in the middle of the hall. These four hollow pillars were completely transparent, and the diameter inside was about three meters. Just as I was wondering what these things were for, a floating metal platform suddenly descended from the top of one of the pillars. On the platform, there were four or five old men in purple robes — this is a damn sightseeing elevator!
There must be a commercial plane parked outside the tower! This place must be a newly built airport somewhere!
A group of people rode on this otherworld's magic version of the elevator. Although everyone had seen elevators before, this was the first time we saw an anti-gravity sightseeing elevator that was powered by magic. The development of magic in this world had obviously gone far in terms of the people's livelihood. I suddenly remembered the stove that the stall owner used when I was eating in the central square. It seemed to have an automatic temperature adjustment function and had a blast function …
Vanilla had a curious expression on her face, but she did not dare to show it. There were a few times when she wanted to squat down to study the glowing patterns on the floating metal platform. Obviously, to a country bumpkin like her who came from the mountains and had never seen the world before, the things here were full of novelty — — even though she had already been in Port Centu for almost two days. Silly bird Medivh kept trying to use her face to smash the transparent outer shell of the sightseeing elevator. After watching for a long time, I finally understood that she wanted to use her mouth to peck the layer of shiny 'glass'. Icetis and 123 were making a bet on the rated load of this magic-powered anti-gravity elevator. Icetis decided to take out a ton of rocks from her personal space to try smashing the platform beneath her feet, but she was stopped by my death sentence. Shallow Shallow kept making faces at the floors outside the elevator, trying to attract the attention of others. In the end, Liliana couldn't help but remind her, "You won't be able to see the inside of the elevator from the outside after the second floor. This is a one-way glass …" Thus, Shallow Shallow was greatly disappointed. She asked in dissatisfaction, "Then why did they make the first floor so transparent on both sides?"
Liliana shrugged, "The main reason is to show off."
The elevator stopped at the 20th floor. The layout of this tower went from the 7th floor up (or maybe the 6th floor? I didn't know). It was similar to a multi-purpose office building. Four transparent pipes extended out in four directions, forming a corridor. On both sides of the corridor, there were rooms. These rooms were not too big. Some of them were used to accommodate up to two people, while others could be used as small laboratories, activity rooms, or reading rooms. However, the entire second floor was booked by Liliana. According to rumors, in order to 'lay the first foundation for the Crow God Order', she had bought this floor as her permanent office, so she didn't care about the rooms.
Just as we walked out of the 'elevator' and prepared to throw ourselves on the bed to thank our legs (we had already walked around the entire city today), a small girl suddenly walked out from one of the rooms in front of us.
Why is there an outsider here?
The small girl seemed to be shocked when she saw us, but when she saw Liliana and the other three, she immediately smiled and greeted us. I noticed that the girl was about 1.4 meters tall, but she had the mature figure of an adult. She was wearing a long black dress with two straight silver ribbons hanging down her chest. I couldn't help but look at Little Crow and Vanilla. Their dresses also had the same ribbons hanging down their chests, but they were gold. At first, I thought it was a decoration of this kind of dress, but the short girl with the silver ribbons on her chest made me doubt my guess. Other than the silver ribbons, the other thing that caught my attention was the hem of her dress. There were many gold feather ornaments, which were also on Little Crow and Vanilla's dresses.
Other than the dress, the most eye-catching thing about the girl was her head. The girl had a pair of beautiful yellow cat ears, the same color as her short hair.
Cat ears … cat ears … cat …
"Mom, the child's father is up there!" Bubble let out a weird cry and climbed up. Her 1.1m body swung back and forth on the girl's 1.4m body. She even rudely stretched out her hand to pinch the girl's ear and said a bunch of things. "This is cute, woof woof! The cutest cat girl in the world, hurry up and sign a contract with me to become a cute girl. Come and give this big sister a … Huh? Ah! The child's father, you can't do this! You can't interfere with your wife's normal hobbies! Put me down! I'm not Liliana, you can't do this to me! There's no justice in this world! Little Bubble, come and help your mother! "
I casually lifted the guy who was beyond help from the poison and swung him in the air for a long time. After tossing and turning for a while, the world finally quieted down. At this time, I looked at the short girl with cat ears — the fur on her ears were all standing up. Based on my experience of raising a fox dog, she was definitely scared to death.
"Let me introduce her to you. She's called that, one of the followers of the Crow God. I brought her along when we left. Our main mission here is that."
Liliana pointed at the panicking cat girl and introduced her happily.
