Warhammer Wizard Chapter 788

The new calendar year is 2535.

Tuk tuk!

Kalodi was awakened by the knock on the door, his headache was splitting, but his eyes were dim, the air was humid and sultry, the bed board and the whole room were shaking slightly, and the narrow cabin in which he was in a trance made him think of his absence. Comfortable home.

I got a hangover last night and lay down all night without taking off my clothes.

A voice rang outside the door again: "Kalodi, are you awake?"

"Woke up."

Kalodi got up to his feet, and the first thing was to check the submachine gun that didn't leave the body even when he slept. The dark gun body is firm and reliable, reflecting a faint metallic luster in the dim, and the tentacles are cold, but it gives him a bit of confidence and a sense of security.

As a gunner, the soul gun is his second life.

The appearance of this submachine gun is exactly the same as the mass production submachine gun sold by the Mechanics Union, at least on the surface there is no difference.

In fact, it is a special model, equipped with expensive and rare dimensional magazines. It stores three different bullets, totaling 20,000 rounds, which are higher than ordinary submachine guns in terms of lethality, rate of fire or range. .

It's called "Black Star", and it's an adult gift I got on my 18th birthday last year.

He stroked the gun body, lost consciousness for a moment.

"Kalodi?"

Another clear and gentle female voice rang, "The boat will arrive in Gotham soon. Get out quickly. We are all for you."

Just listening to the voice can tell that its owner is a young girl, at least not too old.

A pretty face appeared in Kalodi's mind, he quickly inserted the submachine gun into the holster on the outside of his thigh, patted it, and confirmed that it was very strong, then went to open the door.

A man and a woman stood outside the door.

The man was about twenty-five years old, his face was extremely handsome, even more beautiful than most women, he was tall and dressed in an elegant enchanted robe, it was easy to mistake him for a woman at first glance. If you look closely at the second glance, you will find that his expression is not at all feminine, his body is always surrounded by breeze, his pupils are strange blue, as if a hurricane is brewing in his eyes, and it will erupt at any time.

Anyone with a little bit of knowledge can recognize him as an easy storm warlock.

Next to him stood a younger woman, her pretty and charming face with a bit of green, she was obviously only sixteen or seventeen years old, but her figure was well developed, and she could not hide her even if she was wearing a tight dark purple leather armor. His talent is full of youthful and lively atmosphere.

The two are somewhat similar in appearance, apparently a pair of siblings.

"Harmon, Philaya."

Carlodi scratched his head and apologized a little embarrassedly, "I drank too much last night. I had never drunk so much before, so I overslept."

Warlock Harmon nodded gently, expressing understanding.

Filaya groaned: "We've knocked on the door three times. If you don't come out again, we will break in. We are afraid of seeing things that shouldn't be seen."

"Is there anything you shouldn't see..." Kalodi was afraid of her misunderstanding, explained quickly, "You can come in and watch as you please."

Seeing his helplessness, Philaya suddenly smiled and said, "It's funny!"

Kalodi breathed a sigh of relief.

Harmon seriously urged: "Kalodi, if you drink badly, drink as little as possible in the future. Extraordinary people must stay awake and alert at all times, even when sleeping. Although the boat is safer, accidents may happen. , To guard against those who have bad intentions."

"Yes, I remember." Kalodi nodded solemnly, "Thank you Brother Harmon."

In fact, he also understands these experiences, but the ship is getting closer and closer to Gotham City, and he is getting more and more nervous. Last night, I wanted to relax in the bar on the upper deck. Filaya was there and couldn't help but drink too much. NS.

"Don't talk about it, we are going to the deck soon, there is no good place to be late." Filaya urged.

Kalodi was also a little impatient, "Let's go."

The three of them went out from the middle cabin and boarded the uppermost deck of the ship.

When they arrived, there were already a lot of people on the deck. The best positions were occupied by people. They could only stand on the side of the ship's gunwale. Fortunately, the side closer to the ship had a good view, and it was facing the shield. The direction of the island.

It was already halfway through the morning, and the sun rose to a high point.

In late autumn, the weather is cool.

There is no cloud in the sky, and the sea is relatively calm, with only a little sea breeze blowing on the face, which is very comfortable.

The horizon can be seen right in front of the ship. As the ship progresses, the horizon is getting closer and bigger, and it soon becomes an endless coastline, from west to east, traversing the course. In front of.

"Shield Island is here!"

"The front is Shield Island, we will disembark soon."

There was cheers from the crowd on the deck.

The Karodi trio were also very happy. They boarded the boat from Albert Bay and sailed south along the west coast of the New World, passing through the city of Labaz, arriving at the Fenglei Islands near the southern continent, and then from the narrow gap between the New World and the southern continent. The "Torrijos" canal crossed, turned back north, and reached the city of Kastro.

Costello is the human stronghold farthest from the empire. From here, he traveled north along the east coast of the New World without stopping at any port or stronghold until Shield Island.

The entire voyage lasts three weeks.

Except for three stops on the way, Kalodi was almost vomiting while staying on the boat.

They still boarded the ship from Albert Bay, and only took half the journey. Some passengers boarded the ship from the empire and lived on the ship for a month and a half. Even the extraordinary could not bear the arduous life at sea. Many people lost weight. lock up.

Philaya cheered and looked at the shield island ahead.

Soon, the outline of the city appeared on the horizon, and some tall buildings could gradually be seen clearly.

"Look!"

Filaya pointed to the front and said excitedly: "It should be Gotham City there!"

Both Kalodi and Harmon opened their eyes wide. Kalodi was the gunman, and the first main soul to be merged was Ye Xiao, who had better eyesight and could see farther.

Immediately, he found a huge shadow on the distant horizon, straight up and down, like a curtain covering this area. The location of the shadow curtain is on the west side of Gotham City, which seems to be located in the bay.

"What it is?"

Kalodi was astonished. You know, the ship is still dozens of miles away from Gotham City, but you can see this shadow, which shows how huge its size is.

As the ship approached, someone soon saw a vision.

"What is that dark shadow?" Someone on the deck exclaimed, pointing to the shadow curtain in the bay, and everyone's attention was drawn to it.

"Oh my God!"

"Goddess is on!" Some people became scared and couldn't help but worry: "What will happen to Gotham City, right?"

"That is the Dark Sky Array."

A crew member explained aloud, seeing everyone looking at him, his face was a bit proud: "Two years ago, Speaker Rennes set up this circle on the'Island of Truth' in the Shield Island Bay. The island and the sky are covered, and no one is allowed to approach it. It is said that a magnificent magic temple is being built on the island, and it will be completed soon."

The passengers' faces were stunned.

Most of them are ordinary people, coming to the New World for the first time.

I chose to take a ship instead of a teleportation array because the economy does not allow it, and the news is relatively blocked. I don't know much about Gotham. I am only attracted by the growing fame of Gotham City and many legends that are so popular. Boarding, I want to find a way out in this emerging land.

There are not many passengers among the extraordinary people like the Carlo Di trio.

"So there is the magic temple!"

Philaya was very curious.

She is a first-class shadow warrior, and she can see more clearly than ordinary people. After visual inspection, she was shocked and couldn't help but say: "You can see it so far. It must be higher than the wizard tower. This magic temple is too big, right? "

Harmon also sighed, his eyes full of awe.

He is a believer in the goddess of magic.

Kalodi whispered: "It should be more than 300 meters high, much wider than the Wizard Tower, and several times larger. If it is built, it must be the largest temple of the goddess in the mortal world, even more than Northriel's Temple of Truth. Big, and much bigger."

"Kalodi, have you been to Northriel?" Philaya turned her head back.

"Uh, no." Kalodi's face was shy, "but I have seen the Temple of Truth in the book, and I have always wanted to go but have no chance."

"I want to go too, let's go together if we have a chance in the future." Filaya immediately proposed, looking yearning.

Kalodi readily agreed, "Okay!"

Soon after, the ship turned to the west and entered the "Xiawan" of Shield Island Bay. It looked like a huge eagle beak with an opening to the east. The ship sailed in the Xiawan for half an hour, approaching the northern part of the eagle beak, and passed through the eagle beak which was less than three miles wide. Strait, sail into the "Shangwan" of Shield Island Bay.

Gotham City is on the right side of Shangwan.

A city wall tens of miles long was built along the coast, and you can't see the end at a glance. Fortunately, the upper deck of the ship is very high. When you look over the tall city wall, you can see tall buildings rising from the ground. The streets are extremely wide and can hold dozens of horses at the same time. Horses run side by side.

The streets are full of traffic and pedestrians are like weaving.

The architectural style of the city is completely different from that of the empire. Low houses are rarely seen. Buildings tens of meters high can be seen everywhere, with at least seven or eight floors.

There are many buildings with 20 stories or even more than 30 stories, and they are very dense, converging into huge communities.

In the commercial center of the city, there are dozens of skyscrapers over 100 meters high, and the tallest is even more than 300 meters, which is only slightly shorter than the wizard tower built on the high ground in the middle.

The exterior design of these skyscrapers is unique, none of them are repeated. Many of them are attached to the glass curtain wall, beautiful and magnificent, shining in the sun, like pieces of exquisite works of art, condensing the crystallization of the wisdom of architects.

The people on the ship looked straight.

They have never seen a city like this. Gotham City is different from any city in the world, but they can't describe what architectural style it is. There is only one feeling in their hearts.

That is shock!

This is exactly the same as they expected. The shield bird was still a blasphemous place where the undead was rampant before. What can it be built in just a few years?

I dare not compare with big cities like Modu or Northriel. It would be good to be able to build a rough city base, and everyone is mentally prepared to enter a small, broken city.

As a result, I saw a prosperous city that I couldn't even imagine in my dreams!

The sharp-eyed Kalodi made a new discovery.

In Gotham City, there is a 100-meter-high spire every three kilometers. Their shape is similar to the wizard tower, but the diameter is much smaller. It is obviously just a relatively high base, and there is vague rune energy from the inside. It came out, and a fort was installed on the top.

Harmon also noticed these turrets and whispered: "Those should be the rumored electro-optical cannons."

Carlodi nodded.

He looked at most of the city, and there were hundreds of electro-optical cannons visible within his field of vision, forming a huge firepower coverage network, leaving no dead ends, and he could attack every area in the city, including the ground and the sky.

As extraordinary people, their news is definitely better than ordinary people.

Since the Xinxiang Floating City was recaptured by Speaker Rennes more than two years ago, the Scourge has never stopped its attack on Gotham City. Fighting takes place almost every day, and every month there is a large wave of undead offensives. Liches with deadlocked runes participate in them and send their troops to the city for surprise attacks.

However, the Scourge did not cause major casualties.

Most of the undead raids were noticed the first time, and then the electro-optical cannon was fired to easily destroy the enemy.

It is the existence of these electro-optical cannons that ensure the safety and development of Gotham City.

Of course, the Paladins also played an important role.

Kalodi looked to the north, where was Abraham, and there were turrets on the long and flat Abraham Peninsula, covering the entire peninsula. The urban foundation under the fort has begun to see its scale, and there are two bridges across the Strait of East to connect with Shield Island.

There are also many turrets on the west coast of Shield Island Bay, and the ground has been purified and turned into endless fertile farmland.

Obviously, Gotham City is already opening up a new world to the west.

But the most striking thing is the shadow curtain, which stands right in the center of the bay, about the same distance from Shield Island, Abraham and the western mainland coast.

At this time the ship was already leaving very urgently.

You have to look up from the boat to barely see the top of it, half of the sky is covered, as if a big piece of vision is missing, it's dark, and it's completely impossible to see what it looks like inside. It's inexplicably stressful. , Out of breath.

Carlodi and Harmon looked at each other and saw the wonder and doubt in each other's eyes.

This is not like a temple!

During the exchange between the three, the ship docked at the "Red Hook Wharf" on the west side of the bay. After entering the berth, the crew yelled: "Gotham City is here. Get off the boat."

The passengers could not wait to get ashore.

Standing on the land, Kalodi suddenly felt extremely secure. After walking a few steps, the lightness under his feet quickly disappeared.

The Red Hook Wharf is ten miles long and hundreds of meters wide. The water area of the wharf is surrounded on three sides by a tall city wall extending out, roughly like a huge hook. The color of the city wall is reddish, hence the name. All berths and ships are protected in this big hook.

There are several wide passages under the city wall, which are usually opened for cars and pedestrians to enter the city.

"Where are we going?" Filaya looked around excitedly.

Harmon glanced at Carlodi.

The two brothers and sisters came to Gotham to see if they had a chance to make teammates, and they kept hunting down the undead, as Kalodi claimed to be the same.

"Wander around in Advanced City," Harmon said.

"good."

Kalodi did not object, and the three of them walked through the passage of the city wall, and suddenly, a unique, prosperous and beautiful city with a new look came upon him.

Observing the city from a boat in the distance is completely different from being in it.

The broad streets are level and clean, without any ruggedness or potholes. Cars, carriages and pedestrians each have their own roads, without any chaos. At each intersection, there is a tall signal light with three colors of red, green and yellow, and everyone and vehicles must pass according to the instructions.

Kalodi looked at it a few times and quickly understood.

Stop at the red light, and move forward at the green light. The yellow light seems to be a warning.

No matter where you go, there are lush trees planted on both sides of the road, just like a forest, and there are flowerbeds under the trees, which are not only as the isolation belt of the road, but also look pleasing to the eye.

There are signposts on every road and every block.

There are trash cans and street lights not far from the roadside, and these street lights are all crystal lights that consume magical energy.

Harmon was more knowledgeable, and the more he watched, the more shocked he was.

The maintenance of these infrastructures requires a lot of manpower, and the cost is definitely a huge number. If this is the case for the entire city, it is definitely not enough to not have millions of gold dongs a year.

With such a huge investment, Gotham City's first impression is clean!

I didn't smell a smell along the way, occasionally saw rubbish, and soon people in work uniforms cleaned it up with tools.

The second impression is speed!

The cars on the road are moving very fast, and the pedestrians are also in a hurry, but in an orderly manner.

The whole city is moving at high speed, and everyone is involved in it, playing their own role, but they are not as numb as the bottom people in the imperial city.

When you walked out of the port area, you arrived at the trading area, and the buildings in front of you suddenly became taller.

"so far!"

Filaya looked at the Wizard Tower in the center of the city in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Anyway, there is nothing urgent. Let's watch while walking." Harmon said with a smile. He is already fascinated by the city and wants to see more novel things.

Kalodi agreed.

The three of them were about to continue walking. A car painted green was parked on the side of the road. The driver rolled down the window. It turned out to be a dwarf. He asked in imperial language, "Guests, do you need to take a taxi?"

"taxi?"

They are all the first time they have heard of this word.

It was only then that there were quite a few of these cars on the road. They were all of the same style and painted green. The signs on the roof and the sides of the car were written in Imperial, Elvish, and Dwarf languages with the words "Taxi". The words are very conspicuous.

The dwarf driver smiled, apparently often meeting guests who came to Gotham City for the first time, and enthusiastically explained: "The guests only pay, and I will send you where you want to go in the city. This is a taxi."

The three of them immediately understood that this is the imperial bus, but it is a private version.

Even an expensive thing like a car can be operated.

Raphia was very interested and asked, "How do you count money by car?"

"The starting price is ten copper rissoles, and after three miles is three copper risos per mile." The dwarf driver pointed to a mechanical device placed on the car and motioned to use it for pricing.

This price is quite expensive for the civilians of the Empire, and few people are willing to ride.

But it is very affordable for the extraordinary.

Carlodi didn't hesitate to open the door and sit on it. Brother and sister Harmon sat in the back row and found a cushion under the dwarf driver's buttocks. He raised himself to see the road ahead. He asked, "Guests are going. where?"

"Take us around the city." Kalodi thought for a while and said: "Then recommend a good hotel to us, not too expensive, it's best to be in the inner city, closer to the magical area."

"okay!"

The dwarf driver responded happily, pressing the meter in front of him, and the car moved.

The trio of Kalodi noticed that the green light from the meter turned to red, which should indicate that there are guests in the car.

"This is the first time for the guests to come to Gotham?" the dwarf asked casually as he drove skillfully.

"Yes…"

Kalodi, who was sitting in the co-pilot, became a little nervous. He found that the car was too fast, quickly overtaking other cars and leaving them behind. In less than a minute, there were several times passing by a car on the road, and a slight mistake would hit him.

If there is a car accident at such a fast speed, even if you are an extraordinary person, you are likely to die.

Kalodi hurriedly said: "Please drive slowly."

"Don't worry, I'm an old driver. I have never had an accident after driving for more than two years." The dwarf raised his hand nonchalantly and adjusted his sitting posture by the way.

That being said, the three of Kalodie were still worried.

"We want to take a look at the scenery of Gotham, you can't see clearly when you drive so fast." Filaya said very upset.

The dwarf glanced at the girl in the rearview mirror, had to slow down and asked, "Guests, how many times shall we stroll around the trade zone?"

"Yes." Kalodi nodded.

The dwarf lowered the window of the car so that the three of them could see the outside scene more clearly, and said cheerfully: "The most worth seeing place in Gotham City, except for the magic zone, is the trading zone. Most people in the magic zone cannot enter. The city is too crowded, only the trading zone has gathered a large number of extraordinary people. In the past two years, businessmen from all over the world have settled in the trading zone. Residents, only rented out to companies and businessmen. It is said that a room as big as a bedroom costs a golden shield every month, tusk tusk..."

While talking, the car drove into the trade zone.

Sure enough, as the dwarf driver said, the Carlo Di and the three quickly saw the towering skyscrapers. Observing them up close, they can better appreciate the hugeness of these buildings.

When the car passed downstairs, they had to stick their heads in the car to see the whole building, and they felt their own insignificance.

The traffic flow in this area is very dense and there are many pedestrians.

Humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, and some rare intelligent races, everyone is either well-dressed or supernaturally dressed. They go in and out of the building, and their temperament and demeanor are completely different from ordinary people. It seems that people who can come to this place are faintly superior to others and enter the upper class.

The three of them are extraordinary people, but they feel a little lack of confidence in their hearts.

This feeling is like the first time a countryman has entered the city. It was very new at first, but the more I watched, the more guilty I became, and I felt that I didn't belong here.

There was silence in the car.

The dwarf driver noticed the emotions of the three, and said with a smile: "In fact, we Gotham people don't like to go to the trade zone. It is too high-end, everything is expensive, and there are frequent conflicts and battles. It is more dangerous, or the inner city is safer. Some."

Filaya curiously asked: "There will still be battles in the trade zone?"

"Of course!"

The dwarf driver scratched his beard and said with disdain: "Those extraordinary people come from all over the world, everyone has their eyes on the top of their heads. In order to make money, they don't follow the rules, so they look for someone after drinking some alcohol. Fight, thinking Gotham City is like other cities where you can go wild, hehe..."

"The result?" Kalodi asked.

"Of course I was suppressed by the Knights of the Holy Spear. The more minor charges were locked up, and the time was up to expel them; the serious charges were killed on the spot, and they dared to use force in Gotham City, and none of them had a good end." The face of the dwarf driver. It is full of pride.

"They don't even look at whose territory Gotham City is?"

"In Gotham City, the lord of the city is the only master, who dares not accept it?" The dwarf hummed, "Now the trade zone is only slightly messy, and safety is guaranteed. Don't worry."

Filaya's eyes lit up and sighed: "Speaker Rennes is really amazing!"

"Isn't it!" The dwarf driver slapped his thigh and said triumphantly: "I have seen Lord City Lord, not once, but three times!"

Speaking of the city lord, the dwarf is like opening a chatterbox.

As he drove, he frowned. From seeing the Lord of the City to the battle more than two years ago, and the time when the Lord of Death was scared off under Gotham City, he spoke with joy, as if he saw it with his own eyes. In general, as well as various novels, future plans, secrets of the Legion, etc. of Gotham City.

There was nothing he didn't know about Gotham City, and the three of Kalodie listened with gusto.

The taxi made a few rounds in the trade zone unknowingly, and the mileage on the meter kept beating until it stopped in front of a luxury hotel in the inner city until more than an hour later. The dwarf driver reluctantly sent them off. .

Kalodi paid the fare of twenty silver crowns without frowning.

Harmon looked at the ten-storey hotel in front of him, with a red carpet at the entrance, and a magnificent welcome lobby, which was several grades higher than the hotel they usually stayed in.

"Will it be too expensive to live here?" Harmon hesitated.

Philaya was also a little uncomfortable.

"It's okay. We only stay for a few days. I'll pay for it." Kalodi waved his hand very generously and took the lead into the hotel.

Harmon and his sister looked at each other, a little puzzled.

Kalodi is so rich, why did he even take a boat to Gotham City instead of sending it directly from the empire?

The hotel waiter greeted him enthusiastically. Kalodi directly booked the most expensive penthouse suite and took the elevator to the top floor. The luxurious suite opened the eyes of both brothers and sisters. There is also a wide balcony outside the suite, with a wide view, facing the high ground of the city, you can see the castle lord's fortress and the wizard tower above.

Under the service of the waiter, the three ate a sumptuous lunch on the balcony.

Harmon saw the price of this meal, even if he was a third-level warlock, his strength and knowledge were far beyond ordinary people, and he was taken aback.

However, Kalodi is not in a high mood.

When he was dining, he frequently looked towards the tower, as if he had no appetite and didn't eat much.

"Carlodi, you..." Harmon hesitated.

He and his sister met Kalodi in Albert Bay. This handsome young man who was only 19 years old apparently left the house for the first time and had a conflict with others. He and his sister helped him out. After the exchange, they found each other. They are all coming to Gotham City, so they travel together.

Carlodi is a second-level gunner, and there is nothing particularly outstanding along the way.

His younger sister Filaya gets along well with him. The two are the same age, only one year apart, and they have a faint liking for each other during contact on the boat.

Harmon had no objection to this, he could see that Kalodi had a decent personality and was worthy of friendship, and he was a devout believer in the goddess of magic like himself.

But when it came to Gotham City, Kalodi seemed to be different.

He has something on his mind!

It's not that he just came to Gotham City to take a look. If you have a better understanding, he must have more important things, and his identity is not ordinary, but this is his privacy, and Harmon is not good to ask rashly.

In fact, Philaya also saw it.

Regardless of her brother winking at herself, she asked directly: "Kalodi, are you an imperial nobleman?"

"That's right." Kalodi didn't know how to answer, "But..." Before he finished speaking, the door of the suite was knocked, and the hotel waiter's voice came in: "Honorable sir, UU reading www.uukānshuu .com You have guests visiting." The waiter trembled.

"What guest?" Kalodi asked.

Harmon became alert, and he sensed that there were several people outside the door, all powerful and extraordinary.

The waiter outside the door did not respond.

A few seconds later, a gentle, gentle female voice said: "Sir Kalodi, my lord invites you to meet at the Highland Fortress."

The door of the room opened automatically.

The three of Kalodi saw the people outside the door. A stunning beauty stood there. Behind her, surrounded by four extraordinary men in silver armors, their breath was as fierce as the sun. The hotel waiter retreated to the back in fright, pale and trembling all over.

Harmon and Philaya almost jumped up, they recognized the identities of these extraordinary people.

These four people are holy spear knights!
