Starting from Zero

With a creak, a big tree suddenly collapsed, and demon spirit Knight and I swiftly stepped away from the fallen tree trunk. A huge spider appeared behind the big tree, not much smaller than an elephant!

Scott rushed up with the other demon spirit Knights. Although the spiders were large, they were not high-level. They were killed by the demon spirit Knight in three or two. By the way, the item that Clark requested to collect seems to contain spider venom sacs. I went up to the spider and used the collection technique N times, but I didn't see the venom sac, but I touched two of the fangs! It's stingy, what a poison sac for me!

After the giant spider, we came across a lot of monsters, none of them are smaller than bears, and they are all Insects. It seems that this forest specializes in Demonizing Insects.

As we walked, a faint light curtain suddenly appeared in front of us. This layer of light curtain is transparent, so although it extends to high altitude, we did not notice it along the way! If it weren't for when we had just arrived very close, it suddenly flickered, and we couldn't see that there was still something here!

Through the light curtain, we can see that there is a forest similar to ours. I can even see a very deep place, but the monster hasn’t seen one. It is basically certain that the light curtain is safe. But because we don't know whether the light curtain is offensive, we dare not try it rashly. The old way, let Scott summon a skeleton to try.

The skeleton walked towards the light curtain without melancholy. When it touched the light curtain, the vicinity of the light curtain flickered a few times, and the nearby light curtain appeared obvious distortion. But more magic is yet to come. The skeleton that entered the light curtain seemed to have disappeared. It passed through the light curtain, but we did not see it! We can see the woods behind the light curtain, but we don't see the skeletons!

"Scott? Did your skeleton go through?"

"I feel it passed through!"

"So what do we think See you?" I thought for a while with my chin resting on it. "Can you still sense it?"

"Of course! The induction is very strong!"

"Let it come out!"

The skeleton suddenly emerged from the light curtain Came out in the middle, as if through the door of time and space! We repeated the experiment several times, and the situation is almost the same! I fold a branch from the trunk next to me and threw it towards the light curtain. The branch disappeared from our sight after passing through the light curtain. It did not appear in the forest behind the light curtain!

I have basically guessed several possibilities now. The first may be that the light curtain is a teleportation system, and the things that pass through the light curtain are directly transmitted to a certain place without entering the forest behind the light curtain; the second may be that the light curtain is actually an illusion barrier, we see now The forest behind the light curtain actually does not exist. The branches and skeletons actually passed through the light curtain to reach behind it, but the illusion blocked our view, so we couldn't see anything! However, since the skeletons can go back and forth at will, this light curtain is at least not offensive, so I decided to try it myself!

I stood in front of the light curtain and carefully stretched out a hand through the light curtain. I didn't feel anything when my finger touched the light curtain. It seems that this thing does not have a physical form! I continued to stretch my hand forward, and miraculously, the part of my hand that passed through the light curtain disappeared. I can't see the hand I stretched over, but I can feel the hand still there. in a spurt of energy walked over.

Shocked! I was silly there after passing through the light curtain! Behind the light curtain was not at all the forest that I saw just now, and the black forest in front of me was back to the look of giant trees. Giant trees above 100 meters are everywhere, mixed with some low trees, and the ground is also covered with some shrubs and the like, but these things are not very dense and do not affect walking. I was surprised to step back a few steps away from the light curtain and return to at first place. The light curtain reappeared in front of me. What I saw was the kind of low leafless forest again! But when I walked through it again, the dense forest was restored. It seems that this light curtain can indeed block the sight of the outside world!

Demon spirit Knight followed me through the light curtain. The sight in front of them made their night vision stunned, but it was not as serious as mine!

Scott cried out suddenly. "My dark god! Is this the magic capital Isengard!"

"Isinger? What is it?"

Scott calmed down his emotions for a while Said: "There were originally 4 ultimate evil zones in China, namely the Lost City, the City of Mourning, the Demon Fortress, and the Magic City Isengard. Among them, the Magic City Isengard was the most powerful one. But then the system became the three largest. The main city mobilized 30 million troops to form a holy coalition and jointly attacked the magic city Isengard. The war lasted for more than a month, and Isengard was finally broken. At that time, the City Lord was forced to detonate the magic city's Evil Eye , 30 million sacred Legion and 10 million Isengard’s city defense forces turned into evil spirits together. From then on, it has become an evil curse land. The evil power of 40 million evil spirits makes this a forbidden area of ​​light, and the personnel of Guangming Fang will be there. This place is greatly weakened."

"It sounds strange and tragic, but what about the city? Why can't I see anything? There are trees except the trees!"

"These are not ordinary trees. The fragments of these all are Evil Eye become trees. They will absorb all power except Power of Darkness. If anyone uses magic other than dark magic here, they will consume the usual two. Times the magic power. And here, the pure Light Element mage simply cannot recover the magic power, and it will not increase again when it is used up, unless you leave this forest and go outside the light curtain just now."

"Yes. Now, what's the matter with this light curtain?"

"That's not clear!" Scott shook his head. "We demon spirit knights have always been stationed at the Temple of the Dark Lord. The four dark cities are just subordinate institutions. But I think this may be a purely protective measure, just like the Black Water Lake outside the Lost City. Each dark city All have their own special protective measures. As for the illusion and Black Forest that you see at first, every dark city has it!"

______________________________________________________________________

"You haven’t answered my city yet Where is it on earth?"

"In fact, the city should not be far from here. The main reason is that the trees are too dense to see. Just go out!"

"Then let's go and have a look!" I summon out Ye Ying and jumped on it. Ye Ying can already ride, I don't need to squeeze a horse with Scott!

Not long after I walked, I saw a large swath of white flowers swaying in the woods. I rushed to the front to see it clearly, good guy, a large swath of skeletons! Asked Darts to find a skeleton farther from the team and hit it. I read the skeleton's data. Hey, these all are 600-level magic skeletons! Defensive power is super exaggerated. The attack power is also high and scary. Fortunately, the life value is not much! But unexpectedly, the darts that went up to test were slapped back by the skeleton. Although the level of darts is still very low, but the speed of intercepting darts, the agility of these skeletons is too abnormal, right? The level of the skeletons encountered before is generally not more than 200, and the level of these guys is as high as 600! No wonder these skeletons are holding shiny weapons and wearing black cloaks! It turned out to be a high level product!

"Scott, is there a way around here to go around?" I'm not a superman, I can't do anything about things that are faster than 300 levels, not to mention these guys are too large and dense , Maybe demon spirit Knight can kill them for a long time!

Scott hasn't answered yet, the skeleton harassed by darts actually ran over. Scott picked up the long spear and prepared to meet, but didn't expect that the skeleton stopped before us. I saw its long sword flash, a black magic bullet gathered from the blade and flew over. This kind of magical skeletons are actually Demon Sword soldiers, they can attack from a distance without getting close to us!

Seeing that the skeleton was attacking from a distance, Scott immediately turned the long spear in his hand into a projection position. With the sound of breaking the wind, the long spear was accurately shot into the skull's head, and the skull's entire head became a white powder with a click. But what surprised us was that the skull without a head rushed up with a long sword!

I quickly stepped back, this thing is too high level, it is dangerous for me to go up and play! The demon spirit Knight rushed forward and knocked the entire skeleton to pieces! These skeletons are too terrifying, magic and melee are all good, plus it's not critical, you can still shoot if you lose your head!

Looking at these skeletons from a distance, I suddenly remembered, can I fly if it’s not on the ground! Didn't say that must crawl over from the pile of skeletons! Put away the flightless demon spirit Knight and the familiars, I spread my wings and flew into the sky alone. As soon as I flew together, I found something was wrong. The endurance value dropped down like a horse watch. At this speed, I can stay in the air for at most 30 seconds!

Hurry up, I will fly upwards desperately, as long as I exceed the height of the tree and leave the narrow woods, I can summon. Luckily they took me to fly! Accelerated up, and finally rose to the sky above the forest when the endurance value was about to bottom out. Hurry up and summon luckily came out, and I landed on his back.

I looked up after it settled, shocked! Complete shock! I suddenly saw a mountain above the treetops, and the shape of the mountain was very neat, it looked like it was excavated by hand! Looking at it this way, the mountain is estimated to be several hundred meters high, and the overall shape looks like a square double-layer cake!

I don’t have time to take a closer look at the mountain, and the lucky endurance value under the body also drops quickly. Fortunately, the dragon has good flying ability and high endurance value. It is not a problem to support it for three to five minutes at this speed, etc. If you're lucky, you can change the plague and crystals. Anyway, I have a lot of familiars that can fly. If you change to take me one by one, it is estimated that you can support it to the edge of the forest!

Sure enough, as I expected, I couldn't support it after flying for more than four minutes. The plague was replaced by my summon, and then it was replaced with a crystal. Crystal and Plague flew for less than 8 minutes in total, and then Xiaofeng came out to work. Although Xiaofeng only persisted for two minutes, she was fast. When she failed, we were almost at the edge of the forest. I then changed into a small dragon girl, and after only one minute of flying, we reached the edge of the forest and landed smoothly. On the edge of the forest behind, countless skeletons are still wandering, but they never come out of the forest. It seems that they also have restrictions on their activities!

Now I can finally take a good look at this mountain. I just dared to stare at the stamina of the demon pet in the sky just now, for fear that accidentally used it to fall, then it will become the dinner of the skeletons! Now that it has landed, of course, let the demon spirit Knight summon come out first. With them, you can resist any sudden situation for a while!

The edge of the forest is only more than two thousand meters away from the foot of the mountain. The ground is black and gray and the hard ground is very flat. We rode for a few minutes to reach the foot of the mountain. I got down from the back of Ye Ying and stood on the ground looking up at the mountain. My neck kept leaning back and finally my body couldn't stand firmly. I took two steps back and sat down on the ground. This mountain is really high enough, from the foot of the mountain it looks like it is open to the sky! The towering gray mountains give people a strong oppression, which makes people want to retreat unconsciously!

This is not so much a mountain as it is a fortress. There are no plants on the mountain, and the entire surface is covered with black-gray rocks. The periphery of the mountain is obviously artificially excavated. Not only is the mountain a regular quadrilateral, but also a lot of skull is inlaid on the smooth outer wall. The angle between the mountain and the ground is also as high as 80 degrees or more. It seems that the mountain is called a city wall more appropriately! I don’t really believe that any mountain is square, and there will be no skull on the mountain. This must be a large mountain that has been artificially excavated and turned into a square city wall. As for those skeletons, they are purely artificially inlaid to scare people. ! The frontal width of this "city wall" is about 29,000 meters, and the height is estimated to be more than 450 meters! The demon spirit Knight found a huge gap in the mountain. The two sides of the mountain sandwiched the gap with a width of 30 meters. Large pieces of rubble were piled messily on the ground in the gap. It seems that this place used to be the entrance to the city. One, but it has collapsed, so it becomes what it is now!

Look at this passage, you must not think about riding in the past, it is probably very difficult for people to climb over! I put away the pet and tried the wings. It seems to be able to fly normally here, and the place that consumes stamina seems to be only the forest! After confirming that I could fly, I put away the demon spirit Knight and flew directly through the tunnel to go deep inside. The walls on both sides of the passage are also straight up, which proves that the passage was originally excavated. The huge boulders on the ground are only paved for about 100 meters at the entrance, which shows that this place was originally a city gate. The boulders should be the collapsed remains of the city gate!

------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------

The length of the entire channel is as high as More than 1,900 meters, which means that the "city wall" is nearly two kilometers thick! This thick city wall is really terrifying! No wonder it was still a month long in front of an army that was three times as large as one's own!

Through the long passage, I finally entered the interior of the mountain, which turned out to be Isinger! The so-called magic capital was originally built by hollowing out a large mountain! But now, what I see are broken walls and fragments of ruins everywhere. The whole city seems to have been hit by an atomic bomb, and there are broken bricks and tiles everywhere! When I was flying in the air, I could see the layout of the streets in the city. The streets arranged in a tic-tac-toe shape were still faintly identifiable, but the houses on both sides no longer exist!

There is another thing standing in the center of the city. In terms of color and texture, it and the city wall are both derived from the original mountain, which means that this thing is part of the mountain and was left when excavated. . I don’t know if this is a pillar or a tower. The bottom of it is a circle with a diameter of 1,200 meters and a height of about 7,500 meters! The bottom of this thing is actually not as high as the urban foundation. It is erected on a 200-meter-high base. The base is a 2000-meter square with artificial steps in four directions. The above tower-like thing also has entrances on all sides. It seems that this thing should be empty inside.

Because there was no sign of a monster, I was the only one who left Scott in summon, and took him directly to the base of the tower.

"Scott, do you know what this thing is?"

Scott took a look and said, "If you are not mistaken, this should be the legendary Spirit Gathering Tower. ! The place where we are standing should originally be a Dark God Palace, the inside of the tower should be empty, and there is a passage to the top of the tower."

"The passage is too slow, let's fly directly!"

p>

"Impossible!" Scotra stayed with me. "There is a suppression system on the Gathering Tower. Flying at low altitude is nothing. It will not work after the height of the city wall. The magic barrier will ensure that nothing can go up to the top of the tower without passing through the entrance at the bottom of the tower."

"That's it! Then let's climb the stairs!"

Following Scott into the legendary Spirit Gathering Pagoda, I was shivered by waves of cold assaults the senses. "Why is it so cold here?"

"It's not cold, it's evil, and gusts of wind and wind are usually like this!"

"Damn! Haunted!" I move. I took a moment to adapt my body to the invasion of evil. At any rate, I am also a dark force. Although evil makes me uncomfortable, it does not actually hurt me.

After entering the tower along a passage, an upward ladder began to appear. We ran all the way to the end of the ladder. This is a room of 10 meters square. The ladders in four directions lead to here. There is a revolving escalator on the side wall of the room. The escalator spirals to the top, but I cannot see the sky. It seems that the escalator does not penetrate the tower!

After 30 minutes, I finally know how great the elevator is. The height of the 7,500-meter tower is equivalent to the height of a 2,000-story building. We can climb up on a spiral ladder without being exhausted. Strange! In the end, the night shadow appeared on summon. The stairs were relatively wide and the slope was not large, so that the night shadow could run on it. With Ye Ying, our speed was much faster, but there were side effects. After a while, I started to feel dizzy. Always turning in one direction made my head dizzy!

No way! Climbing like this is not the way to go. We have only walked nearly half of the height until now. If we reach the top, I won't hang up! I stretched my head from the side of the spiral ladder and looked at the top to judge the height. I raised my right hand to aim at the top of the tower, and mounted the arrow of the dragon's tendon to the Avenger. When I snapped the spring, the zipline immediately flew to the tower. top. With a ping sound, the arrow hit the top of the tower but didn't get in. The arrow bounced to one side, but the falling arrow caught the spiral ladder. The arrow stopped because of inertia after several turns on the spiral ladder. I tried to pull it, and it was quite strong. Putting away Scott, I jumped out from the spiral staircase. I started the automatic take-up function of the Longjin zip line, and I was naturally pulled to the top of the tower. Although this simple elevator is not very comfortable, it is much better than climbing stairs. The most important thing is that it is faster!

I quickly reached the top floor, took off the zip line, and climbed up the spiral staircase. The spiral ladder ended abruptly here, and a wooden door appeared at the end of the spiral ladder. But the wooden door has now become two halves, leaning against the door seems to fall down at any time! The broken door panel blocked half of the door. I went up and tried to move the door panel away a bit, but as soon as I hit it, the whole door crashed down and a puff of smoke was lifted up. It really looked like no one had used it for a long time!

Behind the door is a sloping upward staircase. This staircase is very narrow, enough for two people to pass side by side at most, but fortunately it is not very steep. I ran up the stairs, and soon I reached the end of the stairs, and there were signs of bright light ahead.

I was stunned when I rushed out of the stairway. The exit of the passage is already on the edge of the tower, and I can see most of the city when I stand here. The shape of the city does not appear to be a square but a concave shape. The direction we enter Isengard is just a straight line, but the opposite side is concave. Moreover, what surprised me the most was that the other side of Isengard was the sea! Isinger is a port city! The gap part of the indentation is obviously a port!

Because there are no railings at the top of the Ju Ling Pagoda now, I did not dare to go to the side! Turn around and go around the exit just now and you can see the whole view of the top of the tower. It turns out that this is a very flat platform. It should feel like a circle, but it doesn't seem to be as big as the bottom. The diameter here is about 800 meters, slightly thinner than the bottom. In the middle of the platform is a pile of ruins, which seems to be an altar or something.

My summon is out of Scott. "Do you know what this is?"

"This is the altar where Evil Eye was placed, but it was destroyed when it exploded!"

"The sea behind the port leads to the sea Isn’t it a big lake?”

“Yes! That’s the sea. This is supposed to be a deep-water port. I heard that the capital of Isengard has the world’s largest port!”

p>

Look at the port below. According to the length of the city wall of 29,000 meters, and then comparing the size of the port, we can roughly estimate that the width of the port is at least 9,000 meters. In this comparison, the size of this port should be more than 7 times the size of the port in Flood City. It is not surprising that it can be the number one in the world!

I suddenly noticed that there are many circular black spots on the top of the "city wall" around the city, because the distance is too far to see it is not quite clear. "Scott, what are those black spots?"

"Are they those on the city wall?"

"Yes!"

"Those are The base of the fort. The magic city is said to have 280 giant magic crystal cannons at the time!"

"280? It costs 28 billion crystal coins? Oh my God! As expected of First Demon, the shot was generous! "The ruins of this magic capital are good for building a city!" The city walls are all ready-made, as long as the ruins are cleaned up and the gate is rebuilt, it will be a city! It just so happens that we need a guild station now, and I am afraid of trouble. This can save a lot of things, and the most important thing is to save money! "Scott, is there a magical illusion on the sea side?"

"Yes! The illusion is a spherical shape, not only the surrounding area, but also the sky and the underground!"

"That's good !" I have already decided, and I will build the city here in the future!

Since I plan to use this place, I need to see all places clearly. The first thing to pay attention to is the city wall. Scott and I went under the city wall, and only now I discovered that the city wall is not solid, the tunnels have been excavated in the city wall, and there are many rooms with special uses! The explosion of Evil Eye seems to only have an effect on things built by humans. The city wall excavated by the mountain is well protected, and there is no sign of damage at all.

At the end of the day’s investigation, the entire city is basically intact. Except for the destruction of the buildings, this can be said to be a perfect Fortress City.

After dinner, I went online and continued to check the city facilities, but when I went online, I was shocked! I actually stood in the middle of a large group of wronged souls! After rolling and climbing to a higher platform, I discovered that the whole city is full of these things! The translucent souls shuttled through the city like living people, and their bodies were still emitting a faint green light. Just when I was in shock, a ghost actually passed through my body from behind me and walked out. He didn't seem to notice that I continued to do his own thing.

Soon I discovered that these ghosts are all phantoms, they can't see me at all, or don't respond to me! Every ghost is doing his own thing, and they seem to be staying in Isinger's most prosperous period. Really scary, ghosts in the city!

The Lost City also has many ghosts, but they can be touched. They have thoughts and can interact with you. Unlike these things, a complete group of walking corpse! I began to consider whether to change the place to build the city. We are now in a guild and almost all are girls. If they see the unevenness, it will scare a few of them to death!
