Chapter 1110: The Vanishing City-State
Lucius pushed open the door, and upon stepping through it, the cursed building turned into yellow sand.
What he saw really shocked Lucius, in the exterior of the building that looked like it was made of yellow sand, the various arrangements were actually no different from ordinary houses.
The exterior of the building looks like yellow sand, but in fact the interior has not turned into yellow sand, not even a speck of dust.
It looked like the room was very clean and spotless, as if it had just been cleaned.
What made Lecius feel most incredible was that the house he stepped into was still flickering with candles inside.
A dim oil lamp, I don't know how long it has been burning in the house, and the oil in the oil lamp is still sufficient.
Lucius reached out and picked up the silver needle on the table where the oil lamp was placed, and gently flicked the wick twice.
In an instant, the whole room became bright, illuminating everything in the room.
By the light of the oil lamp, Lucius looked around and looked around at the entire layout of the house, and found that the room seemed to be no different from an ordinary house except for its lifelessness.
This situation was strange to Lucius, and it was clear from the outside that the house had been eroded by yellow sand.
It stands to reason that the curse of the gods is too powerful to erode the inside.
What's more, there was clearly no life in the room, obviously there had been no living thing for a long time, and the chill brought by the biting cold made Lucius feel a chill down his spine, how could such an empty room be so clean? And there was an oil lamp that was always on?
Everything in front of him made Lucius puzzled, and he didn't understand why this was happening.
I took a closer look at the room and saw that everything in the room was clear at a glance, and there was nothing special.
Lucius turned around and stretched out his hand to push open the door, intending to leave the strange room in front of him first.
However, when he stepped out of the house. But instead of returning to the place where he entered the house, he appeared in a lively street market.
A thriving and lively street market, with a lot of traffic coming and going, looks very lively.
The small vendors on the street greet every passer-by warmly, and whether they buy something or not, the vendors in the street market will greet people with a smile.
Lucius felt a little dazed, and couldn't tell whether the scene in front of him was real or false.
He took two steps back and turned to get back into the room. But when he turned around, he found that the door was closed.
Reaching out and pushing the wooden door twice, to Lucius's surprise, the door could not be opened.
At the same time, an ethereal voice sounded: "Truth or falsehood are just what people think and think, and since they have come, why rush to leave? Don't you want to find out what reality is?"
Hear that ethereal voice. Lucius turned around suddenly, and the mechanical source core in the mechanical bracer on his wrist quickly began to operate, extracting the energy around him. Trying to break through the sight in front of you, trying to find the source of the sound.
However, to Lucius's surprise, he was not able to find the root cause.
It seems to be a sight in front of you. It is real in itself, and the sound is also like real, and the real and the false are actually mixed up at this moment.
Lucius felt a little annoyed. When he wanted to exert his might, he saw an enthusiastic middle-aged man approaching him.
The middle-aged man looked at Lucius and said, "Little brother, it seems that you are here for the first time, what's the matter?
Originally, Lucius didn't want to deal with the other party, but he saw that the other party had a sincere face.
But it's not good to reach out to hit the smiling person, and I don't want to cause trouble in this unknown place.
So he could only smile and ask, "This uncle, I don't know what kind of place this is?" I seem to be lost and want to find my way back. ”
The middle-aged man looked at Lucius and said with a smile, "You don't even know where this is?"
Seeing the smiling face of the middle-aged man, Lucius had the urge to smoke the other party, and that cheap look was really underdrawn.
However, Lucius still held back, and continued to nod and ask, "Hehe, uncle, I'm new here, so I'm not familiar with this place." ”
The middle-aged man asked in a low voice, "Then have you heard of Distry?"
"Distri?" Lucius was startled when he heard this, and suddenly remembered that in the founder's notes, there was a city-state like Distri.
Seeing Lucius's shocked face, but quickly calmed down, the middle-aged man probably guessed what Lucius thought.
Gazing at Lucius, he said, "This is Distri, the legendary demon capital. ”
According to the founder's notes, Distry was once a frontier city-state used to defend against demon invasions.
Later, when the anomalous plague struck, Distry was destroyed.
But in the founder's notes, Distry was not actually destroyed, but possessed by demons.
It can also be said that he was swallowed up by the source of demons and sank into the abyss of demons.
According to the speculation of the original founder, Distry can be regarded as the place where the Demon Abyss is connected to the human world, and half of the entire city-state is in the Demon Abyss, and the other half is in the human world.
If the city-state in front of you is really as the middle-aged man in front of you said, it is the legendary demon capital of Distri.
Then for Lucius, I'm afraid he will have a lot of trouble, and if he wants to go back, I'm afraid it will take some effort.
The middle-aged man looked at Lucius's uncertain face, leaned close to him and whispered, "You know what? You are the second human to enter here in so many years. ”
Hearing the middle-aged man say this, Lucius took two steps back, keeping a relatively safe distance from the other party.
Seeing Lucius's appearance, the middle-aged man couldn't help but smile and said, "Hahaha, don't you see, you are much less courageous than the guy who came before you?"
Lucius suddenly thought of a possibility, looked at the middle-aged man and said, "The guy who came before me is the King of Hearts?"
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I don't know what the King of Red Hearts and King of Black Hearts are, I am just the guide here, and anyone who enters here, I am responsible for guiding you in the direction." ”
Although the middle-aged man didn't give the answer he wanted, Lucius probably guessed it.
After Distry was originally engulfed, he actually appeared in the ancient empire of the King of Hearts, and the King of Hearts entered here by mistake and encountered the Lord of Demons, so he signed a contract with the Lord of Demons to take out the seventy-two demon gods and use the seventy-two demon gods to fight for himself.
Later, the empire of the King of Hearts was cursed by the gods, and in order to escape the punishment of the gods of the eternal kingdom, he hid in the sanctuary.
At the cost of the divinity of the seventy-two demon gods, from the founder, in exchange for a promise of protection.
Later, he was supported as one of the four major card royal families, and became one of the actual rulers of the Sanctuary after the founder left.
However, in the end, the place where the King of Hearts made his fortune was actually in this demon capital.
Seeing that Lucius was silent, he stood there alone in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
The middle-aged man couldn't help but remind: "Boy, if you want to go back, then you have to find your way back, if you want to find your way, you must first enter the Demon Capital, and only when you get there, you have the opportunity to find your way back." ”
Lucius came to his senses, and his face regained a confident smile like sunshine: "Okay, then please ask Uncle to lead the way." ”
Seeing the smile on Lucius's face, the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and vaguely felt that the smile seemed to have been seen somewhere, but the middle-aged man didn't think about it, and led Lucius to the outside of the market. (To be continued......)
