As a city that has experienced thousands of years of changes and is a mixed-race city, with the repairs and reconstructions of its successive owners, the streets of Vitan are messy and disorderly. The originally planned square city area has been completely changed after countless expansions.
.
The goblins came and built their alchemy labs, engineering labs and large cross-city racing tracks. The orcs came, and naturally the arena where they witnessed blood and honor was indispensable. The elves came, and the grand theater and artificial forest were also indispensable.
, the mages are here, and the towering mage tower is naturally indispensable.
The streets are lined with buildings of various styles and ages, solemn dwarf-style Baroque buildings, mysterious and sad dark elf Gothic buildings, goblin style mixed with metal picks and the smell of gunpowder smoke can all be found here, and even,
Due to the presence of druids and dark shamans, the modern relaxed and free pastoral style of surface elves can be found here.
Perhaps, the Sulfur Mountain City with the same multi-ethnic coexistence also has the potential and vitality to become such a famous historical city, but in front of this ancient city, it still seems too young and impetuous.
The trends of the new era and the accumulation of history are intertwined with each other. The national costumes and specialty vendors on the streets can serve as scenery. The charm of the gathering of multi-ethnic cultures is undoubtedly displayed in this ancient city, which illustrates the antiquity and changes of the Platinum City from one aspect.
Nowadays, with the changes of the times, the orderliness and orderliness in the original design have long disappeared. Time and history have divided the entire urban areas into countless "canyons" with tic-shaped, cross-shaped and irregular images. As the underground
The Covenant chose it as the location of its headquarters, and more and more races and dungeons chose to occupy a corner of this city. Facing a city that changes every day, even the old Vitans who have lived here all their lives cannot figure it out.
There are so many ethnic and national characteristic buildings here, and it is impossible to sort out where the various alleys lead.
But there is one place that all Vitans will never forget - the Platinum Chapel.
Of course, this is also related to its huge area and seven towering mage towers. If you can see it in any corner of Vitan City, you will naturally not forget it.
It was originally the residence of the Platinum King who was famous for his extravagant luxury. At that time, the underground overlord who single-handedly ruled the city and hundreds of surrounding underground cities was very ambitious and spent huge sums of money to build this six-kilometer mansion.
The city within a city, even to fit its name, uses mithril and platinum to make a shiny coating on the outer wall. When the light falls, the shimmering fortress is more like the castle in the clouds where angels live, and the interior is even more jewel-like.
The streets are full of flashes, grosgrain beauties are always waiting on you, wine pools and meat forests are there every day...
Well, let’s not mention how he later imposed excessive taxes and how he was overthrown by the boiling public resentment. Now the hero has been reduced to ashes, but the platinum chapel he left behind has become a symbol of Wetan City.
Even though the original extravagant precious metal coating on the walls has long been scraped off and the walls are covered with magical plants such as ivy, the huge and luxurious palace area is still the most beautiful castle in Vitan City and even the entire underground world.
Nowadays, the underground world is not the reality where the Platinum King's family is the only one and the four overlords restrict each other. The Vitan is always ownerless, which makes no one dare to get involved in this fortress. But today, it has been activated again.
, it is the main venue of the League, and its scale even exceeds its heyday.
Fireworks continued in the sky, griffons and manticores shuttled back and forth to welcome the visiting guests, the majestic dragons were just the guards and doormen of the party, each carriage was pulled by super monsters, and the ingredients on the lunch table were all rare and top-notch monsters.
, even among the underground city masters who participated in the meeting, there were many strong ones, and they were worthy of the name "Legends are not as good as dogs, and holy steps are everywhere". Maybe there is not the luxury and wealth of the human kingdom here, but the underground world where the strong are respected, uses
Decorate this biennial event in your own way.
We arrived quite early, but the place was already crowded with people. The venue was divided into three floors: the inner and outer floors. The outer floor was also the outer city area of the Platinum Chapel. General citizens could come in here, and the lord's guards would also be on guard here. There were also various
For a large-scale event like performance, the flowing banquet must be held for at least a week. In the middle level, there are small lords and famous heroes. Their cocktail parties will last for three days. On the inner level, the duration is the shortest. Two days is enough for all parties.
The boss is making a big fuss.
More than ten Roland robots walked together, walking in unison, constantly causing light earthquakes, and even forcing the carriage in front to give way. On the road, there was a giant steel-backed dragon with a big butt that refused to give way, and was lifted directly by Roland II.
It looked like an iron ball and was thrown far away... Of course I won't waste my money in vain. Although they can only be parked at the outer city venue, the purpose of declaring force has been perfectly achieved.
Dungeon masters rarely have good tempers. There were constant frictions along the way, and the security personnel also kept silent in a tacit agreement. On the way here, we saw several duels, including many legendary players.
In fact, demonstrations and security are the reasons why most city lords bring their most powerful bodyguards. The underground overlords are not immune to this. The seven or eight red dragon guards at the door are not just Moriel promoting their own power.
?.
By the way, Xiaohong was supposed to come too, but because she was unwilling to leave her bed (the babies she laid there...), she had no choice but to make an agreement to give the signal when she needed to appear...
.....
But when Moriel saw us, she was obviously relieved. She also knew what her daughter's habits were. If she was hung up and beaten in public during the alliance, it would be embarrassing... Could it be that there was that
Are the group of red dragons trying to block Xiaohong? Inexplicably, I seem to have seen the truth.
"Hey, old guy, I'm here. How have you been these days?"
It is absolutely forbidden to start a war during the alliance. Violators will directly become public enemies of the alliance, but this does not prevent me from taunting. In other words, this kind of situation where everyone can only use their mouths makes it more convenient for me to talk at will. Now, I heard
When I mentioned my experiences these days, Dragon Queen's beautiful face immediately became distorted with anger.
Of course I know that they are not living a good life these days. They have been attacked repeatedly by thieves, dungeon masters and even undead kings. Even though their background is amazing, but they are all enemies, how can they be on guard? They live like a rat on the street.
"Haha, six Ciro consuls have already appeared. Fortunately, none of the top three have come... If they had come, I probably wouldn't be able to see you either. Lumsden's Ant Poison
Doesn’t it feel good? It should be painful and life-and-death.”
The Dragon Queen only looks at her appearance, but she is also a red-haired beauty. But at this moment, today she is wearing black gloves that extend to her shoulders, and a fur coat covers her entire upper body. This dressing style is very different from the past. There are obvious injuries on her hands and body.
, and I just heard yesterday that she was fighting with Lumsden. It was most likely that it was the deadly plague formic acid. I deliberately did not open any pot,
Sure enough, the magic lines on Morel's face were so angry that they were distorted, but then she bit her silver teeth lightly and endured it forcefully.
He took the cocktail from the waiter's hand, drank it in one gulp, and left without saying a word.
"You can't be proud for long."
I quickly replied.
"By the way, your daughter said she wants to beat you up, so remember to bring bodyguards. The group at the door is not enough to beat her up."
I spoke loudly on purpose, and the city lords around me were shocked that someone dared to provoke the Dragon Queen like this. What made them even more incredible was that after the Dragon Queen gritted her teeth, she did not retaliate and became angry, as if she had acquiesced to the reality.
"Uncle Bones, if you say this to her, will she stand in the way when we join the alliance?"
"If you don't laugh at her, won't she be a hindrance? Since you are destined to offend, then offend her to the end. Besides, in the underground world, only strength will be respected. We did offend the Dragon Queen, but at the same time we also gained
The favor of her enemies. Look how happy that fat bald man is smiling."
The fat bald man in my mouth was chatting lively with Kaya. When he saw me coming, he waved me over and screamed in surprise. Not to mention the fight with the Dragon Queen just now, only the underground overlord Ailuer's active invitation.
, I’m afraid it’s enough for us “newcomers” to make headlines.
Estner Elul has a chubby body and few hairs. When she is far away, she is a bit like a moving boiled egg, but there is really no one who dares to express it.
Facing the invitation, I took a step back and let Anne step forward to perform her duties.
There has been constant chaos recently, and Anne has had many opportunities to take action. Coupled with the fact that everyone is actively feeding her, her strength has improved significantly. Especially after hearing about her adoptive father's breakthrough experience, she has vaguely touched something and can break through at any time.
Not surprising.
But compared with Anne, who was making great progress all the way, Eliza behind me was inexplicably silent. Unlike Anne, who was destined to become the Lord of Sulfur Mountain City, Eliza didn't know what she wanted, and for the future
If the road is confusing, how can it be possible to ascend to the legend?
These days, she has been a little irritable and silent.
"Don't think so much, you are fine now." Even though the comfort from outsiders has little effect on the choice of path, I still can't help but talk nonsense.
My words of comfort shocked Eliza, and just as she was about to say something, the bell rang, fireworks and colorful flags filled the sky, the noise outside shook the sky, and the alliance meeting officially began.
"Let's go in." Looking at the Dungeon Masters who started to enter the inner city, I also quickened my pace. I really couldn't let Annie go to the inner city for a meeting alone.
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
"I propose to form a coalition to completely wipe out the spies sent by the Tailless Monkeys on the ground." The lion king's roar echoed in the hall, and his angry eyes stared at me. It was clear who the spies were.
of.
"Even the city lords are human heroes on earth. Who do they belong to? Why did Sulfur Mountain City join the covenant? Do they plan to sneak in and become spies? I propose to expel their people! Whoever dares to veto my proposal will be the dragon.
The enemy of the city." The Dragon Queen's threat is very direct and very effective. If you offend Dragon City, you will offend all the dragon clan under Dragon City, which will be a big trouble.
Sure enough, as soon as the meeting started, before we had time to introduce our alliance, the Lion King and the Dragon Queen opened fire. But seeing this, I smiled happily.
"Then let this be Proposal No. 1, and all the city lords will vote on it." What surprised Lion King and others was that Kaya and Elul not only did not block it, but directly regarded it as a proposal and asked for a vote.
And then, an even more surprising scene happened. For this proposal that could be effective with more than half of the votes cast, in a hall of thousands of people, only a few hundred people raised their hands in favor.
"Well, Proposition 1 didn't pass."
At this point, if you don't know that something is wrong, you would be really stupid. The Dragon Queen and the Lion King looked at each other with shock and disbelief on their faces.
Since the underground cities are often very far apart, many of the alliance members themselves have deep hatreds. The underground alliance is originally an extremely loose organization. Even the underground overlords dare not say that they have absolute control over their supporters. Now they and themselves
The Dungeon Masters with whom I have good relationships also abstained from voting. What the hell is going on!
They expected that Sulfur Mountain City would definitely try its best to win over other underground city masters, but these underground city masters were all aloof and arrogant, and they were so far apart that it was extremely difficult to win them over.
In addition, they themselves have become street rats these days, and they have no time to spend time with Sulfur Mountain City. In a sense, the effect of throwing the scepter is achieved.
Elul nodded and continued.
"Then, the second proposal is jointly proposed by Kaya and I, to accept Sulfur Mountain City as a member of the covenant and give it equal status to me, Kaya, Tao, and the Dragon Queen. Yes, we may have more
Come up with a deputy leader."
As soon as this proposal came out, the entire hall immediately went into turmoil. The status of the underground overlord cannot be determined by the alliance, but if this proposal is passed at the alliance meeting attended by all powerful underground city masters, then Sulfur Mountain City and other underground overlords will still have
What's the difference? As for the deputy leader of the alliance, it's just the official statement of the overlord.
"This proposal is quite important. According to regulations, more than 80% of the members must not object. It is a secret ballot. Please feel free to vote."
No one thought this incredible proposal would pass, except me...
- What I said to Kaya and Elul, "This proposal will definitely not be passed. Then, if we step back and propose the next-level resolution, it will be passed easily. Do us a favor, we need a shocking appearance,
As a price, we will pay..."
"110 votes in favor,..." Hearing this vote, the Lion King and Dragon Queen were all smiles, and looked at me with contempt in their eyes, as if they were saying, "You country bumpkin, you still want to reach the sky in one step, just watch."
"...206 negative votes..." "Impossible!!" It was natural that there were few yes votes, but surprisingly few negative votes, but it made the Lion King jump to his feet.
The lion king's cannibalistic eyes made the singer tremble all over.
"The total number of neutral votes and abstentions is 3267, the total number of participants is 3583, and the resolution is passed! Ahhhh!"
The emcee who was counting the votes screamed and threw away the results, then rolled down and climbed down.
The Lion King snatched the statistical results and read them several times. The black and white writing was placed in front of him. In the end, he could only tear it up with a disgusted face and became frustrated.
"How did you do it?" Kaya leaned over and breathed into my ear, but I pretended to smile mysteriously and didn't answer.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it’s worthless. When others thought I was fooling around, I actually did a lot of serious things.
For example, as a seasoned lawyer who exploits legal loopholes and a legislator who fixes loopholes, he studies the regulations and rules of the underground covenant one by one...
"Major resolutions can be passed without opposition at least 80% of the time." It was established to avoid the inability to reach an agreement due to the inherent differences in the alliance. When the underground overlords cannot reach an agreement, this resolution will make the underground city masters unhappy.
Majority resolutions can ultimately take effect.
But they ignore that sometimes, not opposing does not mean agreeing...
It is indeed difficult to get the Dungeon Masters to vote in favor, but it is not impossible to get them not to oppose it.
"It is true that some of the legal information is missing, but if you do not object to our vote to join the covenant, we will hand it over to you after the meeting. Yes, it is enough not to object, we just don't want to lose so ugly.
...."This is a threat.....
"Ha, this is a gift from Sulfur Mountain City. Were your clothes damaged in the catastrophe? These leaves and rattan clothes are all made by the druids of our Celestial Liberation Organization. They are all natural materials, guaranteed to be natural and in line with the doctrine.
Haha, there is no need to pay, it is free. However, it will be enough if you can help us during the covenant voting. You know, we are new here and we are not familiar with the place. We can only count on you, big brother." This is a favor.
...
"Don't you think something is wrong with the current situation? Now that the four underground deputy leaders are divided, they will fight to the death sooner or later. Don't you think we need a lubricant? He needs to be strong, but not too strong. It is best not to have one.
Ambition..." This is reasonable...
The Lion King and the Dragon Queen were restrained by the scepter, which gave me the opportunity to ask for votes in a multi-pronged manner. When the Dungeon Masters all voted with the mood of "it takes 80% to pass, anyway even if I abstain, he will not be able to pass."
, our success is already destined.
"Congratulations, the new deputy leader."
Elul's congratulations contained malicious sarcasm, ignoring the fact that the highest priest of the Dark Elf was already leaning on me, and the two underground overlords over there were already boiling with murderous intent... The Dark Elf always smiled more and more.
Happy, the more ruthless I am, no one will want their authority to be diluted by others. At this time, no matter how good I said before, I have offended them all.
And most of the city lords looked at us with less friendly eyes. After all, I had lied to them all, even though what I told was the truth.
"However, this is what I want." I smiled with satisfaction, but I was suddenly noticed by over a thousand legendary powerhouses, and the two people next to me felt very uncomfortable.
And most of the malicious eyes were cast on Anne, who was sitting in the middle. After all, she was the future Lord of Sulfur Mountain City.
"I don't have time to wait for Annie to mature slowly. The greater the pressure, the faster she grows. From now on, this city will all become our enemies. Get over it! This is the test I give you."
"Roland! Come here and help, we are in big trouble!! The camp was attacked by the Undead Monarch!!"
Suddenly, Xiaohong's voice recalled in the back of her mind that she actually activated the emergency contact, and the undead monarch who asked her to directly seek help was at least the level of the Consul of Ciro.
"You won't be proud for long." Moriel's sarcasm flashed through my mind, and then I figured it out.
"Using the right to auction or the opportunity to observe, let the undead archons reach an agreement and let them contribute to themselves? Internal fighting is not allowed during the alliance, but the undead monarchs do not impose restrictions. As expected, the underground overlords cannot be underestimated."
I stood up and planned to leave to support, but the Dragon Queen blocked the door.
"Where are you going? The meeting is not over yet. Vice-leader, leaving the meeting without authorization is not good for the entire alliance...ah, boy, what are you doing!"
Next to him, a dwarf kid was kicking the Dragon Queen desperately with his short legs. What's strange is that the Dragon Queen couldn't escape because his little feet didn't move fast! He was kicked up to the knees every time.
"Bad guy, you dare to bully my father, I will beat you."
Inexplicably, I felt that the voice was very familiar, but I couldn't laugh for a while. But at the same time, an inexplicable sense of foreboding came to my mind, as if I was about to be unlucky.
"My many years of unlucky experience guarantee that this feeling means big trouble is coming."
The dwarf boy raised his head, his face was covered with acne, and his nose was dripping down to his chin. He stared at me with his eyes, and then smiled at me stupidly.
"Abba."
"...Adang!!" For a moment, if it weren't for this familiar name, I wouldn't be able to connect the super-giant abominable stitch monster I made with my own hands to the little dwarf in front of me...
But at this moment, a cool voice sounded behind his ears.
"...You even have an illegitimate child, and he is still a dwarf. Master, your taste is really speechless. May I ask what happened to the mother of this child? Is it because she was abandoned in the end? Master,
