The crude satchel on Taliyah's shoulder was stuffed with food, including bacon, oatmeal, bread and cheese, plus two skins of water. She didn't notice the big man in front of her at all, and bumped into him, but she was ejected.
He flew out and lay flat on the ground. The other person was motionless, and she felt as if he had hit a cliff. The people in the market seemed to be used to it, and the crowds of people came and went around him like a stream flowing through a rock.
The big man was wrapped in a rag-like robe from head to toe, but it still couldn't hide his tall and strong figure. He was holding a long cloth-wrapped cane, and the wide top was also wrapped in rag strips. Both hands
The legs are bent at a strange angle, making it difficult to move.
"You have to watch the road carefully." His accent was thick and humming, as if coming from a deep well of sadness in his heart. "Shurima is a dangerous place now."
He turned and walked towards the cracked city wall of Wekaura. The huge battlements were only just as high as his height, and the higher parts were made of mud bricks dried by the scorching sun. The people of Wekaura must have found it breathtaking, but
In his eyes, these are just poor imitations.
The blood scrawled on the wall of the Astrology Tower directed him to come here, and the wizard would be attracted here. He sensed that the owner of a certain ascended bloodline had appeared in Wekaura.
This bloodline has existed for a long time, long before the empire was in ruins, but its territory spanned the entire continent. This is the most precious and powerful bloodline in ancient Shurima. Therefore, the most important thing is to catch up
Find that person before the enemy does. The blood of Ascension can bring Azir back to the world from the void, or it can destroy the reborn Shurima with evil intentions.
Taliyah was a little curious and confused. She followed the big man and asked, "You seem to be familiar with this place?"
"This arch bridge," he raised his cane and poked the stone bricks above his head. Pedestrians walked on the bridge, dust fell from the cracks like a fine veil, and a low voice came: "It is the lost Aika.
It was built by craftsmen who were exiled from Western Asia. Each stone was cut and laid with utmost precision, and not even a drop of mortar was needed during the construction."
"Really...really?" Taliyah looked at the bridge. It was not as perfect as the big man said.
"You mortals have long forgotten the past, and you name things that should be remembered as rumors." Sensing Taliyah's ignorance, the countless centuries of bitter wandering in the depths of the desert gradually turned into violent sullenness, the man asked
Said: "Isn't it that I built the great library to prevent the decline of memory?"
"Isn't that a legend?" Taliyah replied quietly.
"Hmph!" Taliyah's ignorance of history deeply angered Nasus' scholarly heart.
The original outline of the city was still there, but Nasus felt as if he was walking in a nightmare. New materials and weird forms were arbitrarily transforming the once familiar surroundings. The original appearance of everything was deliberately distorted, as if by design.
The purpose is to make people restless.
"No! Those bandits are here again!"
When the noise came, Nasus and Taliyah both turned their attention outside the city-state. As a large gathering place, it was normal for it to be targeted by bandits.
The Shurima Bandit Group is also a desert specialty after the fall of the empire. Their survival does not rely on trade, but relies entirely on violence. These teams of raiders often disguise themselves and blend into the environment to lure unsuspecting travelers into traps.
Then they kill people and buy goods. A bandit group that dares to directly attack a large gathering place is one of the most powerful among many bandit groups.
There is also a difference in reputation between bandit groups. For example, Shakar is a well-known nomadic bandit group. They are equipped with reinforced bone guards and long-handled weapons. They are good at frontal attacks and rush towards their target prey at terrifying speeds.
"It's really eye-opening." As he approached the water vein area, Lin Jiu saw more and more creatures. He even saw a group of Shurima nomadic residents.
They do not live on land, but on the back of a creature called the Doman Behemoth. Just like the fur tribe on the back of the Elephant Lord in the One Piece world, the Doman Behemoth looks similar to an elephant, but does not have the Elephant Lord.
So huge.
The Doman beast is like a moving mountain. Its body is so huge that it can cover several acres of land. Its back is broad and flat, as if it is a vast plain specially carved by nature, capable of carrying countless creatures.
The body is like a moving castle, with broad chest and bulging muscles. Each muscle contains amazing strength. Its limbs are extremely thick, as if they were carved from the hardest rock, and the ground rumbles with every step.
It seems as if the pulse of the earth is beating. The hooves are wide and thick, able to firmly support its huge body, and it can move forward steadily even on the most rugged terrain.
They also have huge chitin carapace to protect themselves, and the power of evolution allows them to survive the long-term drought and harsh environment of Shurima. The riders and the beasts living on the backs of the Doman beasts are interdependent.
Riders will clean their bodies and drive away approaching parasitic flying insects, while Doman beasts use unknown senses to find hidden fresh water storage places.
The Doman beasts are like movable villages and towns, and Doman riders use hooks and claws to travel through the complex network of knots and travel between these mobile "villages and towns." When a rider gets older,
Or if it "can no longer run the rope", it will be put back on the ground to live with other land residents for the rest of its life.
Lin Jiu also saw the "camels" in the Shurima desert, Skalas. They are mostly seen in caravans. Although they are notoriously violent and untamable, they are still highly respected by the locals. Their
The fur is painted with sacred symbols of protection, and the horns are hung with totems and amulets. Therefore, if a caravan traveling through Shurima has a Sklash, it is a symbol of prosperity.
"Well... this temple needs to be rebuilt, and a new statue will be built by then." Lin Jiu, who came to the high altitude of Weikaola, did not come directly. On the way here, he discovered the menacing group of bandits, so he
He was not in a hurry to appear. He waited for the gangsters to take action and then took action himself, which would be more helpful for subsequent entrepreneurship. At the same time, he also sensed a strong soul power in Vikaola, so he took the opportunity to test it out.
While waiting, Lin Jiu commented on the Sun Temple in the central area of Weikaola. The dark outer wall shone like basalt, but the tenon joints of different sizes inside could be seen through the rough spliced wall panels.
A sun disk hangs on the top of the temple. Even if you look at it from a distance, you can see that there is no gold on it, it is just a forged alloy of bronze and copper. The sun disk that the Shurima Empire worshiped was suspended in the air.
Yes, but this copper plate is suspended by a few hemp ropes and hung on several asymmetrical pillars on both sides.
The steps at the four corners are also jagged stones. Two warriors wearing fitted armor made of copper plates, with feathered animal-shaped helmets on their heads, guard the steps.
This temple of the sun is made of sandstone and bare reef stone hammered out by chisels. It was made by human hands and ended in human territory. Compared with the huge temple that was once the heart of the Shurima Empire, this temple can only be regarded as a
Children's toys.
The great temple of the Shurima Empire was once the envy and envy of the entire Valoran continent, and kings from far away came from far away just to have a look at it.
