Chapter 143 The Capital of the Undead

When I walked on the last part of the canyon, the moonlight was already very dim. If I had not relied on the physical fitness of a professional and replaced by ordinary people's eyesight, it would be impossible to see the surrounding scenery clearly. Even with the girls' current vision, a little further away, it would look hazy. Fortunately, with Panis's hearing and smell as a means of exploration, there was no need to worry about the sudden arrival of danger, but it was not so convenient to walk. However, this was just a troublesome situation in the canyon. When the adventure group approached and walked out of the canyon, everything became different.

At the end of the canyon are several rugged detours. Once you enter this detour, you can see a subtle light penetrated from outside the canyon. The more you move forward, the more obvious the light is. Although the intensity is still weak, it will not be considered an illusion of oneself. When you turn the last bend and step out of the canyon, everyone's eyes suddenly become clear, no longer trapped in the cramped space formed by the cliffs on both sides of the canyon. What appears in front of you is a vast plain. The farthest part of the plain has fallen into a darkness. However, on this side near the canyon, there are countless lights shining, and the lights are connected into one, illuminating half of the sky slightly. The light even extends to the feet of everyone next to the canyon, so that everyone will no longer be troubled by darkness.

"Is this... the city of the undead?" Lina covered her mouth and widened her eyes at the scene in front of her. Not only her, but also Panis, everyone was staring at the flashing lights in front of her. The priest girl couldn't hide her surprise and said stutteringly: "Yuan, Yuan, it turns out that the undead can, can, and can build such a city. This is the first time I have seen a house built by the undead in this world that is not bone-like. No, not only this world, but both worlds have included, but I have never seen the undead build houses of other textures. I thought they could only build buildings with bones."

Just as Lina was amazed, none of the buildings in front of her were bone-like, and all the houses within the view were built of stones. The city had no walls, and in this world, there was no need for walls at this stage. All houses were built in an open area. The stones for building houses were carefully beaten to the same size, and were neatly built, and the stones were mixed with sand with special clay.

The bonding together makes the walls made of stones solid and firm. The roof is inclined, not made of a whole piece of stone, but is a large number of small stones interlaced layer by layer and gradually shrinking inward, and finally sealed at the top to form a closed roof. The house has windows, with thin stone strips crisscrossing and woven into a mesh window. Through the gaps of the stone net, the flickering lights projected out, adding a bit of vitality to the cold stone city.

All the houses in the entire city are made of stone bricks. Only when the doors are boned, relying on these boned doors, visitors can confirm that this is a city belonging to the dead.

"I really can't figure it out." Lina put her hands on her chest, looked at the city with a strange expression from afar, sighing deeply, "I know that they are the dead, but even so, is it necessary to build all the houses like graves? Look at these buildings, they are simply enlarged tombs. The whole city looks like the cemetery of the Holy Capital. Is the aesthetics of these dead so desperate?"

"Well, this is indeed a question worth discussing." Catherine's mouth twitched, and she really didn't know how to answer. It is undeniable that Lina's comment was very accurate. As an adventurer, before meeting Panis, everyone had explored some ancient ruins. The situation of mistakenly entering the ancient tomb during the exploration process also occurred. The stone houses in front of her were indeed no different from the tomb. The knight girl finally could only sigh like Lina and said helplessly: "Well, there is always a gap in aesthetics between races. You can't use human standards to ask the undead. Maybe in the eyes of the undead, such a building can be regarded as a house. Do you remember that when she was in the Orc Grassland, some orcs thought it was not good-looking for girls like Marcia, and maybe the undead were the same."

"There are times different." Panis began to say nonsense without any responsibility: "The undead here also lived in the Third Age at the latest. The aesthetic standards of that era were completely different from those of the present. Perhaps people in the Third Age like this kind of architecture. Such a grave is wrong. How good is such a house, safe, sturdy, and perfect."

"Isabella said she wanted to kill you, and Tifa said the same thing. The first time they agreed, I think you might be in trouble when you are." Lina made a contemptuous expression to Panis: "No matter what, if you want to enter such a city, it is simply a challenge to the psychological endurance of normal people."

"Stop making trouble, hurry up and go to the city. You are not Dora's boring woman. Are you still afraid of the tomb chamber, no, no, or a ghost jumps out of the room?" Vivian just finished speaking, and suddenly thought about it and muttered: "It seems that it is not right. In this world, it seems that a ghost suddenly pops up in these rooms. In this way, I suddenly feel that if creatures and the undead can live in peace, Dora's future life will be unimaginable. I guess she will hate us very much."

"That idiot, who cares about her?" Catherine rolled her eyes, pushed the reluctant Lina from behind, and quickly walked towards the city of the undead.

The closer it is to the city of the dead, the more you can see the city clearly with the lights in each room. This is an unguarded city, with no walls, no guards, and no patrol soldiers. Only a large number of houses are continuous. Between the houses, stone-paved streets lead to every corner of the city, making it more convenient for citizens to come and go. Surprisingly, these houses are not just residential buildings. From a distance, you can see that some houses have stone signs hanging at the doors. Although the handwriting on the signs cannot be seen clearly, in terms of form, these houses with signs are obviously different from ordinary houses.

"It seems that Kenser hasn't told us completely." Before entering the city, Catherine suddenly showed a thoughtful expression: "It is impossible for a settlement of this size to have no commercial institutions. But having similar institutions means that there will be currency circulation, and it will never be a barter transaction as he said."

"He didn't say that." Freya whispered: "It's just that when we think their world has not yet developed currency, he didn't deny it."

The ex and the current two noble girls looked at each other, and at the same time they burst into a smile that made people unable to help but hold their pockets tightly.
