Chapter 416 Holy Dragon City (please subscribe, please vote)
Shortly after Lin Yi left, the battle under the Black Earth Fortress changed dramatically.
The magma slope originally caused by the green phosphorus fire formed a seemingly unbreakable line of defense over one kilometer in length.
However, just when the tribal army thought they had the upper hand, the situation reversed.
With a soft "pop" sound, the array disk in Carlos' hand suddenly shattered.
At this moment, the magma surging under the fortress seemed to be suddenly frozen, and it stopped flowing in an instant.
After a few dozen seconds passed, the churning magma that had been bursting with bubbles began to calm down and showed signs of solidification.
Immediately afterwards, a sound of "click, click" sounded, and the surface of the solidified magma began to crack.
These cracks are not chaotic, but arranged in a mysterious and regular way, gradually forming a chain of large-scale alchemical formations.
As the array diagram was completed, the ground within a radius of more than ten kilometers began to shake violently, as if a powerful force was surging underground.
"Run!" A scream suddenly sounded, breaking the tense atmosphere on the battlefield.
The goblin inventor waved his short limbs and ran towards the other side of the fortress at an alarming speed.
He jumped to the stone slope built by the tribe and continued to flee forward without stopping at all.
The goblin inventor originally thought that the alchemical array in the magma was a 'hot and cold displacement alchemical array'. However, when the array was fully revealed, he found that he was completely wrong.
The power contained in this formation was far more powerful and dangerous than he imagined.
Seeing such a panicked reaction from the goblin inventor, the tauren Armstrong suddenly felt his hair standing on end, and a strong uneasiness surged in his heart.
He was well aware of the goblin inventor's accomplishments in alchemy and mechanism. Even he was so frightened, so this alchemy formation must be no small matter.
"Retreat!" Armsted ordered loudly, his voice echoing over the battlefield.
However, it was too late.
The alchemy array began to shine with dazzling light, and a powerful force emanated from it, sweeping across the entire battlefield in an instant.
The color of the magma that stopped surging began to undergo strange changes, gradually turning from the original blazing red to blue-black, as if a force was quietly changing its nature.
Immediately afterwards, a layer of ice crystals quickly clung to the surface of the magma, shining with a cold light.
Such a large alternation of hot and cold caused the semi-solid magma slope to crack rapidly. Countless cracks criss-crossed the magma slope like a huge spider web.
Suddenly, a chirping sound pierced the night sky, and at the moment of hot and cold contact, a large amount of steam rose up.
This is not ordinary water vapor, but superheated steam far beyond the critical point. Its temperature is high enough to cause severe burns to the human body.
The steam spread quickly, and with the strong west wind blowing tonight, a large amount of steam quickly enveloped the black earth fortress.
The entire fortress seemed to be shrouded in thick fog, and visibility plummeted.
At this moment, a hoarse scream came from the fortress.
Four "dishes" suddenly appeared on the fortress - steamed orcs, steamed goblins, steamed dwarves, and steamed trolls.
Lin Yi and Su Xiao heard the screams coming from the fortress, but they did not stop, they just looked back and continued towards Holy Dragon City.
Samsara Paradise does not have too many restrictions on contractors in the war world. Before finding the core of the world, contractors can do anything.
It's just that most contractors will participate in wars to obtain military merit points in exchange for things, which makes the war world look like fighting all the time.
At this moment, the attributes of Lin Yi and Su Xiao were all around 75 points. After leaving the military camp, the two of them began to run with all their strength. After only about half a day, the two of them had traveled hundreds of kilometers and arrived at Holy Dragon City.
Holy Dragon City, the capital of the Longteng Empire, is a majestic, bustling and bustling giant city.
The towering city wall is like an indestructible barrier, guarding the peace and order in the city.
The city walls were engraved with complex magic runes, shining with a faint light.
When you walk into the city, the first thing you see is the wide and straight streets lined with shops and a wide variety of products.
Human citizens wore gorgeous clothes and walked calmly through the streets, their faces filled with pride and superiority.
In this city, the status of human beings is supreme, and even the most ordinary citizens have a higher status than other races.
Races on the tribal side, whether orcs or dwarves, are slaves here. Their figures are quietly busy in the corners of the city, either carrying heavy objects or cleaning the streets.
Their eyes revealed deep helplessness and surrender, as if they were used to this fate of being conquered.
A magnificent palace stands in the center of the city. It is the residence of the Emperor of the Dragon Empire and a symbol of power.
Whenever night falls, the palace's brilliant lights complement the bright stars in the night sky, forming a magnificent picture.
In this city, human culture flourishes.
Beautiful music and poetry recitation can often be heard in the streets and alleys. It is the citizens praising the greatness and glory of the Dragon Empire.
The slaves could only watch all this silently in the corner, their culture and traditions being ruthlessly suppressed and ignored.
Lin Yi and Su Xiao did not encounter any obstruction when they came in, because their appearance proved their race. For humans, other races in Holy Dragon City did not dare to provoke them at all.
"Sir, do you need help guiding you? The price is very cheap, just ten copper coins."
As soon as Lin Yi and Su Xiao stepped into the gate of Holy Dragon City, a group of thin orc beggars surrounded them.
The clothes of these beggars are ragged, and the hardship of life is written on their faces.
They all wore heavy slave collars around their necks, a mark of their status as slaves.
In Holy Dragon City, if a tribe's race does not wear such a slave collar around their neck, they will be regarded as runaway slaves by the city guards.
Escaped slaves have no human rights at all here. They will be killed on the spot without any room for excuse.
"Take me to Holy Dragon Academy."
Lin Yi took out a gold pound, which immediately attracted the attention of all the beggars around him.
But when they heard the four characters "Holy Dragon Academy", all the orc beggars instantly shuddered. Only then did the group notice the badge hanging on Lin Yi's chest.
That was a badge exclusive to lecturers at Holy Dragon Academy, which meant that Lin Yi was a member of Holy Dragon Academy.
"Run!!"
The next second, all the beggars surrounding Lin Yi ran away. Only one beggar with weak legs and feet was still standing there, with a look of death on his face.
"If you need to find a test subject, I can be your test subject. As long as you help my sister cure her disease."
There was a look of despair on the boy's face.
"What and what? I just let you lead the way. Why are you doing such a desperate thing?"
Lin Yi was confused now. How come these guys seemed to see natural enemies after hearing the words "Holy Dragon Academy".
"Didn't your Excellency come here to look for test subjects?"
"What kind of experimental subject? I just asked someone to guide me. I haven't come back for so long that I don't even recognize him."
After hearing Lin Yi's words, the boy's face seemed to show excitement.
"Sir, I am familiar with the entire Holy Dragon City. If you don't mind, I will show you the way."
"Forget it, it's just you. If you don't lead the way, who will lead the way?"
Under the boy's guidance, Lin Yi and Su Xiao walked towards the territory of Holy Dragon Academy. After the boy's explanation, Lin Yi finally understood why they started to flee immediately after hearing the words "Holy Dragon Academy".
In Holy Dragon City, the status of Holy Dragon Academy is supreme. For some experimental reasons, the alchemists of Holy Dragon Academy often run out and grab a few slaves on the street for human experiments.
The owners of these slaves would not say anything when they heard that the alchemists of the Holy Dragon Academy had taken away the slaves. Instead, they would send more slaves to the alchemists of the Holy Dragon Academy for experiments.
They are just some slaves, you can just buy them when they are gone, but if you can get through the connections at Holy Dragon Academy, you can make a lot of money by then.
As a result, there was an unwritten rule in Holy Dragon City. As long as the alchemist of Holy Dragon Academy liked a slave, then the slave could be taken away by the members of Holy Dragon Academy unconditionally.
The slaves naturally knew what would happen if they were taken away by people from the Holy Dragon Academy, so these slaves were so frightened after seeing Lin Yi's identity.
The reason was that they thought Lin Yi came here to capture slaves for experiments.
