mad dog plus three

There is a huge stone tablet at the gate of Dead Sea City, on which the three patterns of Dead Sea City are engraved.

The characters in this world are the evolution of pictographic characters plus agreed graphics, which are very similar to the combination of ancient Egyptian characters and oracle bone inscriptions. Just like paintings, you will involuntarily connect with the actual guesses at the first sight of these pictorial characters.

Jiasan was also attracted by the inscription on the stone tablet. After reading it for a few seconds, he suddenly saw the word "sea" turned into a huge wave and rushed towards him. He even felt the unique smell of sea water, and some water droplets splashed on his face and hands. .

Jiasan was startled, turned around and was about to run, but heard the laughter of Captain Cole beside him: "Did you see it? This proves that your mental strength is not lower than that of a beginner. Can you tell me what illusion you saw?"

Jiasan stopped in his tracks, and asked with bright eyes, "Is this also magic?"

The child was dressed in rags and his clothes were a bit dirty, but his hands and face were clean, and he didn't have the sour smell of someone who hadn't bathed for a long time. His little face looked cute.

Thinking that the child arrived on the first day and was very lucky to land near the Dead Sea City, Cole didn't think much about it and said with a smile: "This is an illusion in magic. The owner of this city is based on illusion. The land has the title of Magic Grand Duke."

Jiasan didn't know what level of power the title of Grand Duke represented here, so he fell down after hearing it.

Cole looked at Jiasan expectantly.

Add a triple head shot, answering Cole's previous question: "I see waves, big waves."

As for whether the waves were real or not, and whether there were any waves hitting his face, he didn't think it was necessary to describe it so clearly, so he didn't say.

"What else? At that moment just now, you only saw the waves? Did you see any other sights?" Cole asked.

Jiasan shook his head.

A hint of disappointment flickered in Cole's eyes, "Well, your mental strength is about between level one and level three, which belongs to the elementary level."

Jiasan was not disappointed. He still remembered that when Daniel tested him, he also said that his magic source was more active, but his mental strength was barely up to the standard.This standard is probably the first level?

Cole was not enthusiastic about Jiasan at first, and introduced him to the magic school in Dead Sea City on the way to the gate of the city, but after passing the stone tablet at the gate of the city, Jiasan obviously felt that the other party was much colder to him.

Seeing this, Niaoya is super happy.It wished that Cole would leave quickly, so that no one in Dead Sea City would come to Jiasan in the future.

Cole looked at the city gate in front of him and hesitated for a moment, then looked at the child's little face, feeling unbearable, and finally led Jiasan towards the huge city gate.

There were four guards wearing metal masks at the gate of the city. Cole walked up to the guards, pointed at Kasan and whispered something to the guards.

The guard nodded, and took out a domino necklace from the hidden door in the wall behind him and handed it to Cole.

Jiasan looked around, no one came in and out at the gate of the city, it was very deserted, and there was a huge stone wall at the gate of the city, which had to be bypassed if one wanted to enter the city.

Jiasan had seen this kind of city gate design before, and it was said that it was to prevent cavalry from rushing into the city directly.

Cole handed the domino to Jiasan and asked him to hang it around his neck, "This is your temporary identification, but it can only be used for a maximum of three days. After three days, the magical information contained in this domino will become invalid. If you If you haven't gone through the identity ring, you will become a black household without identity."

The buds didn't make a sound, and they hung up after adding three.

Cole led Jiasan around the stone wall and walked into the city, and explained to him as he walked, "Although fighting is not allowed in the city, there are thousands of ways to harm people, and our city guards may not be able to control them all. Newcomers It is the easiest target to be deceived and attacked. If you don’t want to become someone’s slave as soon as you come, or have to work for someone for a lifetime, then go to the administrative hall of the city as soon as possible and find an administrator to handle the identity ring for you. In addition , you will need an identity ring to enter and leave the city in the future, if you don’t have one, the city guard has the right to arrest you.”

Cole didn't say what would happen after the arrest.But Jiasan already guessed that the fate of being caught as a black household would be very unpleasant.

When Cole said this, he looked at the stone seed sprouts protruding from Jiasan's pocket, "The stone race you raised may tell you that it is best to choose the status of a free citizen in order to leave. But I tell you the truth, I I was born in Dead Sea City and grew up here. My parents and grandparents, as far as I know, including legends, have not heard of anyone being able to open the door and leave for at least 600 years. Do you think you can live for 600 years or even Is it longer? Instead of wanting to leave such illusory things, it’s better to live down-to-earth, don’t you think?”

Jiasan thought that no matter whether he had hope or not, he would head towards the goal of leaving, but he said to Cole that he would seriously consider it.

"Dark Demon God, I hope you have a happy life in Dead Sea City. Some common sense, I think your stone race will tell you, I will not say more, goodbye, hope to see you next time, you are already our city magic school students." Cole saw that Jiasan's qualifications were limited, and he brought a stone race who would "point out" him at any time, and didn't want to continue wasting time on Jiasan, so he pointed out the location of the administrative hall to Jiasan and left.

Ning Ya let out a big breath, and said quickly, "It's alright, alright! You're lucky. Before you entered the city, you met a native city dweller, and he was a moderate."

"Is there a difference?" Jiasan asked curiously.

"Yes, of course!" Nianya signaled Jiasan not to stand in the middle of the road. Most of the residents and passers-by here are not very good-tempered. When encountering a dog blocking the road, there are many more people who directly bump into it than bypass it.

Jiasan walked to the side of the road according to his words. The city was built very magnificently, and the internal buildings and ground that can be seen with the naked eye are all made of rocks and cement-like substances.

The city seems to be built on a mountain, and the whole city rises and falls along the mountain from low to high.But when looking from outside the city, the inside of the city can hardly be seen. I wonder if this is also due to the illusion?

And even if you are already standing in the city, when you look up at the mountainside and the top of the mountain, you can't see any buildings, you can only see the steep peaks.

But are there really no more buildings on the mountainside and on the top of the mountain?

For this magical magical world, Jiasan is not sure. The administrative hall that Cole pointed out just now seems to be on the mountainside.

Niaoya explained to him what moderates are: "Usually, many local indigenous people are used to life in a sinful place, and they want to live here in peace rather than leave, especially those that have been passed down for many generations. This is their home, and if they want to live well, they have to maintain law and order, living conditions, etc., of course chaos is not welcome, so it is difficult for the natives to describe them with good and evil. More than [-]% of those thrown here are guilty.

In addition, because outsiders have been constantly coming, and they have caused great damage to the old residents of the sinful land, many natives hate outsiders very much.Among the aborigines, there are three attitudes towards outsiders. The moderates think that they are blood from the outside, which can increase the vitality of this dead world.The die-hards believe that outsiders destroy more than they contribute, and they should be killed when they see them, or directly enslaved.There are also neutrals who believe that it is necessary to analyze the specific situation.

But don't worry, Dead Sea City itself is a neutral city, and there are very few real stubborn radicals. "

Jiasan thought about it and asked: "Then if I build a city ring, the local city residents will have a better impression of me, even if they know that I am a newcomer from outside, they will not be too repulsive?"

Nian Ya replied reluctantly: "The city ring has this advantage. After all, it will cost a lot to change the identity ring in the future. Once the average person decides to belong to the identity, they will not easily change the identity ring."

"Then I run the free ring, is it easy to be rejected by the local residents?"

"...That's right." Nen Ya became anxious, "Are you really planning to build the city ring of Dead Sea City? Don't you want to leave? In fact, there is a free city among the 99 cities, and there are all free people there. If you want to live, you can choose there, and there are many strong people there."

"If it's so good there, why is there only one in Liberty City?" Jiasan hehe.

Young Ya choked: "Well, because of the lax management, Liberty City is much more dangerous than other cities, especially for newcomers. But it is also known as the paradise of the powerful. When you become strong, go there to grab A piece of land, isn’t it better than holding your future development and even your life in someone else’s hands?”

Jiasan looked down at Nian Ya: "Why do you recommend the status of a free citizen so much? For you, whether I am a city citizen or a free citizen should make no difference to you, right? As long as I am willing to support you, it's all right? "

Nenya was silent, and after a while she said quietly: "Okay, let me tell you the truth. Although I said before that I would not ask you to take me with you when you leave, I still have this expectation in my heart. For the sake of me for a long time, are you willing to take me away with you?"

As a plant, who would like this ghostly place where it only rains two or three times a year, and ten magic crystals are needed for a pot of clean water!And they can only truly "live" if they go out.

Jia San rolled his eyelids, "Do you have a million magic crystals?"

The sprouts buzzed immediately.It is because they are afraid that you will bring up the matter of the magic crystal, so they dare not propose an exchange condition for you to take them away from the beginning.If it included taking it away from the beginning and adding it to the transaction conditions, even if Jiasan agreed at the time, but when he realized that the unequal contract, Jiasan would break the contract, and the Great Will would not settle with him.

"It's useless to cry loudly now. I don't know if I can leave yet?" Jiasan shrugged, "Okay, let's move towards the goal of survival first, and we might as well wait for other things to talk about later."

Niaoya immediately understood that: whether you can take it away depends entirely on its performance.

Um!I will definitely perform well!The buds clenched their fists in their hearts.Jiasan is already one of the most likely candidates it has seen to leave, whether it is for the present or the future, it does not want to miss him at all.

"There seem to be very few people here." Jiasan walked along the side of the road for a while, but he didn't meet any pedestrians, only cavalry and patrols on uniform mounts passed by.

The sprouts immediately appeared as a guide: "I forgot to tell you, because of various issues such as safety and territory, most cities are divided into above-ground and underground. Only supernatural beings and nobles can live there, and even half of the magician school is underground. While you are wearing a newcomer card, you can take a good look at the ground, and when your newcomer card expires, whether it is a city ring or a free ring , you are not qualified to come to the upper city at will.”

When Jiasan heard this, he immediately drew a big cross on the option of Dead Sea City. He didn't want to live underground all the time.

"From what you're saying, the city dwellers here seem to be divided into ranks?"

"Of course." Niaoya said: "Ordinary commoners go from level one to level nine, and then there are knights and even knights. Generally speaking, commoners are ordinary people. If there is no great chance in a lifetime, it is basically impossible to become a nobleman, while extraordinary people can upgrade Soon, because you can do tasks to accumulate points. There are slaves below the common people. You must be careful not to be tricked into signing a slave contract. I suggest you quickly find a powerful guy and take the initiative to become the slave of the other party. This kind of slave Unlike slaves, there is a certain degree of freedom, which is considered an employment relationship."

"Will it be dangerous if I enter the dungeon now?" Jiasan wanted to learn more about the difference between the two identities before making a decision.

"It's very dangerous." Nianya said seriously: "The captain Cole told you just now that newcomers are not protected here, and newcomers cannot do any transactions in the city. Without taxes, Dead Sea City will naturally not protect you. .Three days may seem like a lot, but if you want to live in an underground city, if there is no magic crystal and you cannot trade, it depends on whether someone is willing to accept you as a slave, but ninety-nine percent of people living in an underground city They are all nobles in the city, and half of them have already been restricted to death. If you follow them, it is no different from wearing a city ring. If you want to seek refuge with the strong, you should also find someone with a free status."

In addition to the harsh environment, Jiasan now finally feels the horror of the sinful land.

This ghost place seems to be very gentle to the newcomers, and even gave the newcomers a card, and gave three days for you to think carefully.But in fact, you have no choice at all, as long as newcomers can't trade, they can kill people, not to mention that there are upper and lower cities here.Wearing a rookie card and going down into the dungeon, I'm afraid he will be knocked out and dragged into the alley in a short while, and become someone else's slave the next day.

The buds shook the leaves, and shouted in a low voice filled with righteous indignation: "That's right, the people here are so bad! They say they let you choose, but in fact, the weak newcomers can't make a choice at all. When you enter the administrative hall later, the administrator will use it to give you a choice." Facts tell you the various benefits of choosing a city ring, only the newcomer protection period and newcomer benefits for becoming a city citizen will make the weak knees weak, not to mention the temptations such as helping you do magic tests for free."

"That is to say, I have only two paths now. One is to quickly apply for a free ring, then enter the dungeon, and use the fastest speed to find a strong man with a free identity, and let him agree to accept me as a subordinate. The other is to become a dead sea City dwellers. Can I leave then?" Jiasan really hates this kind of forced choice, if he wasn't too tired, too hungry, and too eager to find a soft bed to lie down on, he would have turned his head and left Dead Sea City now. .

"No." Nenya sighed, "You must have not listened carefully to Captain Cole's words just now. Wearing a rookie card does not allow you to leave the city. You can only go through the identity ring. This is a common agreement of 99 cities. If you don't Do it, they will not even know how many outsiders there are in this world, and this is something that the city owners absolutely cannot accept. Unless you are that kind of super powerful, no one can stop you, but breaking out like this will surely leave a message."

Jiasan frowned into a small knot, and finally made a decision: "Then let's go to the administrative hall to apply for the identity ring of free citizens."

He had to get the qualification to trade first, and exchange gold coins or water for food.After starving for five and a half days, relying only on replenishing water, if he hadn't practiced magic, he might not be able to hold on long ago.

Now all the cells in his body are eager to eat!

The buds are overjoyed, and it has taken another step towards hope, which is gratifying and congratulatory.

A half-old woman and Jiasan passed by.

Add three breaths, it smells so good!It is the aroma of food.A large amount of saliva was secreted immediately, and the stomach growled loudly.

"Huh?" The half-old woman stopped suddenly, "Son, wait."

Jiasan turned his head and looked at the half-old woman.

The half-old woman turned her eyes away from him, and Jiasan was also looking at him in the same way.

It was a half-aged woman with a benevolent face, very clean and well-fitting clothes, her long hair was coiled on her head, and her hair was combed meticulously, and she looked very good-looking.

The half-old woman was holding a basket, and in a soft tone, she asked Jiasan kindly: "Poor child, are you a refugee or a newcomer?"

Jiasan looked down at the dominoes on his chest.

The half-old woman smiled knowingly: "This domino is just a temporary identity certificate. It can only show that you have no official identity now. Besides the newcomers from outside, there are also some poor children who have lost their homes because of those poor children who were affected by the battle of superhumans. With their loved ones, they had to trek around to find a new foothold."

Jiasan looked up and showed a smirk.

The half-old woman laughed, "It seems that you are quite vigilant. I am the wife of Earl Lan Wei's housekeeper. We have a soft-hearted countess. Sometimes she will make us leave the couple and the leftovers from the banquet. Let us take the food you bought to the slums of the city to distribute. I think you look like you haven’t eaten for a few days. Do you want some? Although it’s left over, it’s all clean. Don’t worry, I don’t want your magic crystal, and I don’t want it. You pay for anything else."

The half-old woman lifted the cloth covering the basket, revealing the food such as bread and cooked meat inside. Besides the food, there was also a jar of clean water inside.

Jiasan looked at the food in the basket and licked his lips, he wanted to eat it so much, but!

"Thank you, don't you want to send food to the slums of the underground city? I think they need it more than me. I still have some gold coins on me. Now I go to get an identity ring, and I can buy food when I'm done." Jiasan said politely politely declined.

"Gold coins?" The half-old woman laughed again, "My poor child, it seems that you should be a newcomer. Here, in this world, a gold coin is not worth more than a stone. Probably only some monsters who like shiny items will collect a little bit."

Big monsters that like shiny things walk under Jiasan's feet.

Jiasan has a better impression of the monsters he encountered before, and he must have met the best of the bad guys.No, looking at that person, maybe the other party didn't come in because of evil, but a creature that shouldn't exist?

oh!The next time he sees the other party, he will definitely thank him well. If the other party is willing, he can be his little brother and provide him with clean water every day.

"I will think of other ways to earn food. Honorable Mrs. Steward, do you know Captain Cole? He asked me to go to him after completing the identity ring. I think he will not be stingy in providing me with a meal. "Jiasan smiled carelessly.

The smile of the half-old woman remained unchanged, and she seemed to want to reach out and touch Jiasan's head.

But Jiasan, who had been on guard for a long time, made a mistake and took a step back.

The half-old woman shook her head and said again with a smile: "You child, you are so vigilant, but this is not a bad thing here. Since you know Captain Cole, then I won't talk about it. Goodbye, child."

The half-old woman walked away slowly with a basket on her shoulders.

Kasan exhaled.

Niaoya, who had been silent just now, raised her voice: "You see that the other party is deceiving you?"

"At least I still have a little judgment." Jiasan turned around again and walked towards the mountainside, "The half-old woman may really be a kind person, but she said she was going to deliver food to the slums of the underground city. Like this The old woman dared to go to the slums of the dungeon by herself, and still brought food. According to your description of the dungeon, she was either strong or wanted to die, and the latter was naturally impossible.

In addition, as a special gift, the food in the basket is too small, not enough for me to eat alone!Even if I have a big appetite, I can only share it with two or three people at most.Don't you think it's weird to have a housekeeper's wife make a special trip just to deliver food for two or three people? "

Niaoya grabbed Jiasan's pocket with tender leaves, and Hao praised vigorously: "Very good, here is to have this kind of heart full of doubts about everything, even if you miss the opportunity, don't be fooled. A cautious person , in order to live longer in this world.”

Jiasan feels that this kind of life of doubting everyone is very tiring, but he can only maintain a high level of vigilance when he goes to the countryside to do as the Romans do.

After turning a street, the old woman stopped at the corner and let out a sigh.

The cloth covering the basket was lifted suddenly, and the bread inside turned into a mealworm with a bread-like body and countless legs on its abdomen. The mealworm crawled to the edge of the basket and muttered in frustration: "It didn't work again, the newcomer now It's getting harder and harder to lie."

"According to the person who sold the news, that kid has a stone race on him." The old woman said lightly.

The mealworm roared angrily: "Aww! You disgusting stone race! They always treat their owners as their own, and won't let others bite them! They are too petty and selfish!"

"Forget it, let's go to the dungeon. Our original target is not him. I heard that among the residents around the dead well in the slum area, a child felt the steam on his face from the stone tablet when he left the city. It was a real feeling, not a look. Yes. Now the child has been taken away by the magic school for the first time, but because of the talent of the child, many people are now interested in the child who lives near the dead well. Let’s go there quickly and maybe we can get one or two indivual."

"How many people are staring at that piece now? It's better to take down the kid just now. Newcomers can always sell a lot of magic crystals. Even if we don't sell magic crystals, we can keep them for ourselves to absorb." Breadworm timidly said.

"He can call Cole's name. No matter what the relationship between them is, since the newcomer can know Cole's name, he probably has met him. And if Cole hadn't said hello, he should have entered the dungeon now, It's not an underground city. Let's go, don't worry about it. After the kid finishes choosing his identity, if he chooses a free citizen, maybe we still have a chance." The half-old woman was very straightforward, giving up when she said she would give up, and leaving with a basket Go down the stairs to the left.

At the end of the stairs is a huge archway, also guarded by guards.

The old woman walked through the open archway without looking sideways and with a calm expression.

The guards were unresponsive.

For the residents of the underground city to go underground, they never check each other's identity ring.But if you want to come up from the dungeon, you must pass their inspection.
