Magic Tower Starry Sky

There are no people coming from other places to trade, and the merchants waiting here seem to have been stationed for quite a long time. From all angles, this place does not conform to the characteristics of a market at all, and it does not even look like a place where living people gather.

The location where everyone is located is the Sulitang Empire, which is the last of the five empires to appear in the northern border of the Lost Land.

This is a large empire with nomads as the main body. Its territory is not small compared to the other four empires, but its population is not larger than any of the other four empires. It is characterized by vast land and sparse population.

Investigating the reason, if a certain traveler were to analyze it, he would say that the entire territory of the Suli Tang Empire was located in the north of the temperate zone, and most of the land was in the frigid zone, which was not suitable for human habitation. Grassland is limited, and food cultivation is also quite difficult, all of which limit the speed of population growth.

According to the Midi people, it's just too **** cold! Most of the time throughout the year can be counted as winter.

Although the main body is nomadic, the Khan court is constantly on the move. However, after hundreds of years of development, it still absorbed many other nationalities and races and brought them under the jurisdiction of the Suritang Empire.

Its characteristic is that a large number of large-scale Homo sapiens gathering places were built, such as cities and villages. And these places have also started farming to supply the needs of the entire empire.

However, in order to meet the trade needs of those nomads with strong mobility, there will be temporary markets like the one in front of us, which appear from time to time and from time to time. It may be that traveling caravans come here, and there will also be neighboring settlements or herdsmen who trade surplus things here.

Bazaars usually last from three to seven days. When the trading volume drops to a certain level, the merchants who set up the market will pack up their trading items and go to the next place to open the market.

However, recently on the forum, there was a rumor about a ghost market.

Rumor has it that there is a market in the North where rotten or damaged items are traded. And the people who are active in the market are not living people, nor are they like the undead of the undead clan. They are a type that is even more unknown.

Bazaars have also been around for a while. As long as you enter this ghost city, you will not be able to get out alive.

…When Ezio heard this information, he wanted to complain. If no living person came out, where did the news come from? Those guys who don't know whether they are dead or alive, posted it on the forum by themselves?

For such a regional anomaly, the local adventurer's guild should entrust appropriate adventurers to investigate.

However, the situation of the Sulitang Empire is hard to describe. As a result, powerful adventurers are not willing to operate within the scope of the empire. Naturally, there are not enough professional and capable people to deal with the abnormalities in the ghost market.

A country dominated by nomads welcomes outsiders and foreign resources, including food.

However, the biggest failure of the Sulitang Empire is that there is a certain degree of contempt for race within the empire, mainly in terms of appointment and treatment. High-level official positions will not be open to non-subject ethnic groups; even if they occupy the same official position, they will enjoy different benefits due to different races.

Although such a chain of contempt did not become an express law, it actually existed in every corner of the Suli Tang Empire and affected the attitude of the subjects of the empire. This is to ensure that the main nation's control over the empire will not fall into the hands of different nations.

Outsiders are not treated differently just because they are not subjects of the empire. They will still be somewhere in the chain of contempt because of their race. How could this be tolerated by those experienced adventurers.

As long as he can overcome the difficulties of life and death again and again, such an adventurer will inevitably be a little arrogant. No matter how kind they are in normal times, it doesn't mean that anyone can look at them with contempt and disgust.

Of course, there are qualified adventurers in the Suritang Empire, but the number of these people is too small, and they all have their own areas where they are used to mingling. The Ghost City is quite a remote countryside, with few people, and no one wants to come here. That's why it's the turn of Aijiou, a group of outsiders who are idle and looking for trouble.

The Ghost City is located in the south of the Suli Tang Empire. There are hills and hills around here, not an excellent pasture. So after the empire conquered this area, it didn't pay much attention to this area, and just threw some small marginal tribes here to make a living. To prove that this land belongs to the Suritang Empire.

In fact, if you want to know the news about the ghost market, the leaders of these small tribes know best. But one of the downsides of the forum is that it is relatively weak in its ability to clearly point to specific people.

If the person who saw the news knew that it was related to him, but he didn't show up, no one could do anything about him. There's no way to ask someone to do something across a forum unless the person making the request comes in person.

What's more... According to Sister Kaya's inference, whether those small tribes are still there is a problem in itself. Ezio thought so.

The two behind him were in heavy armor, and the one carrying a huge shield was Kish. The most special person in the elementary school, his mother Wanna still works as a maid in that mansion. So, just like Ezio, in the eyes of others, he is a member of special care.

But in fact, Kish may be the most talented among those children, and he is also the hardest working one. The special care in the eyes of others is actually a manifestation of his own hard work, and it is not that someone really made a small fuss for him.

For example, the heavy armor he wears weighs almost the same as that of an adult. Being able to carry an adult on his back all the time, and still be able to move freely, one can imagine how good his physical fitness is.

Such a young man with a promising future is a guardian knight who is not uncommon!

You must know that the title of guardian knight is not something everyone can hold. He must be able to recite the Oath of the Guardian Lord and strictly abide by its precepts. Only those who have received the grace of God are qualified to call themselves guardian knights.

The threshold is not low. But in Midi, the belief of the Guardian Lord is quite marketable. Even without the grace and title of guardian knights, there are still a large number of young people who keep their vows and move towards the goal of becoming guardian knights.

Another young woman who was dressed similarly to Ezio, but with a different color tone and an extra bow was Luo Wen. When Ezio got into the crowd of kids on the street, Rowan was the head of the kids at that time. But no one knew her gender at the time, and they all treated her like a big brother.

Compared with Ezio, who is nourished by dragon's blood, or Kish, who is really talented, Rowan's talents in all aspects are mediocre, and there is nothing particularly outstanding. But any ability is above average compared with other children. In the eyes of others, he is considered an all-around outstanding talent.

Rowan is also good at organization and command. After all, not everyone has the ability to pull a group of children and take care of them at a young age. The brotherhood of the elementary school can be organized, except for the help of the seniors of the Turtledove Alliance, such as Wu Zuofu and Maier, Luo Wen is the first to contribute.

】

And she followed Ezio, not so much because she had the idea of ​​controlling the Brotherhood, so she wanted to control the top figure of the Brotherhood. But in fact, she is more like Ezio's nanny, who specializes in helping professional troublemakers deal with the aftermath.

In any case, these three are the golden lineup and sharp knife squad that the Brotherhood can produce today.

But such a sharp knife team stood in the ghost market, looking at the scene in front of them, they felt helpless.

There were many people passing by, but no one looked up at them. If Ezio is currently in the stealth operation, it is of course a good thing that he has no sense of presence, and he may even say a few words about the results of his stealth.

But the three of them stood loudly in front of the market, not hiding anything, and were still ignored. The people coming and going didn't even glance at him. Such an abnormal phenomenon must be said to be a bit weird.

"What's the situation?" Ezio asked without thinking.

It's just that the three of them are all young men in their twenties. Even though Luo Wen was born on the street, he has never seen such a situation. Not to mention the other two hours, at least someone was taking care of her. Although I have traveled abroad for several years, I am really not well-informed.

Kish, who claims to be the most talented, is useless in such a scene. In the past, his talents were all used to train himself. Although his mind is active, but if he has no experience, he is inexperienced, and he has never even thought about it. Naturally, he doesn't know how to deal with the situation in front of him.

In the end, it was Ezio, a decisive and bright person, who made the decision and said, "Forget it, I can't think of an answer standing here. Let's take a walk and have a look."

Rowan asked, "Separate actions?"

Hearing this, Ezio immediately vetoed it. Said: "No, this is not the Holy City. We are familiar with the top and bottom of the Holy City, and we know where to run when we have to run. If there is an accident here, it will not be said that other people are not supportive. I don't know the situation. Let's go together, maybe someone can see what others haven't noticed."

The other two agreed with Ezio's opinion. And when the three of them act together, they can notice more directions, and there are colleagues and friends watching over the blind spots behind them, which is more reassuring.

They headed first to the one of the vendors closest to them. On the shelf that was set up temporarily, there were some withered and rotten vegetable leaves, whose original appearance could no longer be seen. The other non-perishable baskets, wooden spoons and wooden bowls were covered with a layer of dust, and no one took care of them.

But obviously the stall owner was standing aside, looking straight into the distance with blank eyes.

His complexion is not like the bloodless blue of a creature of the undead; but it is not like the elastic ruddy of a living person either. The two eyeballs are normal, they are not dug out, only two holes are left; but there is no emotion hidden inside, but empty.

The reason why it can be confirmed that the other party is not an undead is because in that family, there is a genuine necromancer and a necromancer apprentice who are dealing with corpses all day long. Even the bishops of life in the Church of the Three Holy Lights gathered together to study the mysteries inside the human body.

Oh, the bishops of life have erected another hill. Although still under the Church of the Three Holy Lights, they formed the Hospital Knights. An organization that heals people and kills people.

Because of these people messing around, Ezio has a good idea of ​​what a real undead creation should look like. In short, unlike these living people in front of them, they seem to be alive, but they are like empty shells without souls.

...without a soul? Ezio felt as if he had caught something.
