The shape of this high tower is a bit like the old-fashioned lighthouse most commonly seen on the earth. Perhaps due to lack of funds or other reasons, the body of this high tower looks quite plain and unpretentious, and it does not reflect its originality at all.
Humans have incredible abilities.
You know, this is a real magic tower. On the top of the tower, there is a ball-shaped thing floating in the air, faintly shining, like a gas or some kind of materialized light.
Although he had seen Ravens perform witcher magic before, Art was still very shocked to see such a realistic application of magic.
The function of this magic tower is...
"The sand path will open in fifteen minutes. Don't be crowded. Everyone put their silver coins here and get the tickets from me!" Among the crowded crowd, several soldiers in armor held long guns and surrounded them.
A middle-aged man, who was probably a conductor, was holding a box, wandering around the crowd, looking for people who hadn't paid yet.
"You two, if you haven't paid, please pay, and if you have, please take out your tickets." With that said, the armed ticket sales force came to Art and Ravens, and glanced at the two of them.
, deliberately shook the heavy coin box, making a rattling sound.
"Okay, how much is it?" Art took out his small purse and looked at the man in front of him slightly unhappily.
"Two of you? Two silver coins, then." The conductor man said unceremoniously, then pushed the box in front of Art and motioned for him to throw it here.
"Two silver coins? Damn it, are your roads paved with gold?" Ravens was a little furious when he heard the price of one silver coin per person. This is simply extortion! No, robbery! It's just and aboveboard.
robbery!
"Huh? Outsider?" Faced with Ravens' anger, the conductor was not afraid at all. After the armed soldiers beside him all took out their weapons and pointed them at Ravens, he said without letting go of his arrogance at all.
: "Well, outsiders, those who have never walked on the sand road...are they here on foot from the Xinan area in the north? Huh, no wonder you don't have any education at all."
"Ravens, don't be impulsive. Even so, you can't beat so many people." Compared with Ravens's easy-to-get character, Art has noticed that among those who should be a little flustered by the commotion,
There were many soldiers similar to these people mixed in the crowd, and it seemed that the ones in front of them were just part of a smile.
"Tsk..." Ravens withdrew his hand from the hilt of the sword behind his back with some disdain, then took out a silver coin rather unhappily and threw it into the box.
"Huh, that's right." With that said, the conductor took the ticket book from the soldier beside him, tore off two tickets at will, slapped them into Ravens' hands quite needlessly, and was minding his own business.
I bypassed myself and continued to sell tickets at the back.
"Don't give me a chance with this guy..." Even though the conductor walked away, Ravens still stared at his back eagerly, wishing to eat him alive on the spot.
"Don't worry about Ravens, let them be arrogant." As he said this, Art raised the corners of his mouth slightly and proudly threw up the silver coin in his hand that had not yet been handed over.
"You didn't let him out?" Ravens looked at Art with some surprise. It was obvious that he was the one who compromised first...
"Of course I have to thank you. The timing was perfect to attract attention." Art patted Ravens' arm, then stopped showing off and put the silver coins back into his small purse.
And almost ten minutes later, the door that had been closed finally made some movement.
I saw the translucent ball on the top of the high tower suddenly glowing with dark blue light, and runes appeared one by one on the unpretentious body of the tower, with light flowing everywhere, as if something was passing through those regular runes.
The text is transmitted from the underground to the top of the tower bit by bit.
Immediately afterwards, as a rustling sound like waves hitting the rocks sounded outside the gate, the soldiers guarding the gate finally pulled the long lever and opened the iron gate.
Immediately, these passengers, who had been ready to move, ran out as if they were students who heard that dinner was ready in the cafeteria.
Ravens and Art were at the end of the crowd, so they had no choice but to wait until they were almost done before they could start.
And when they were almost gone, Art finally saw the reality outside the door.
At a glance, there is endless yellow sand, hot wind blowing everywhere, and there is no green. But the sand that should have flowed like water has been solidified by a magical power. Starting from the gate, a long
A fairly flat sand path was formed in this way, winding and twisting with no end in sight.
"...Have you Dunmul people actually started to use magic to open the way?" Ravens seemed to be seeing the sand path for the first time, and it was quite difficult to understand this.
"Who knows..." Not to mention Art, today is only the fifth day since time travel, and magic has never been seen before.
"Hey, you two! What are you doing standing still? Hurry up and leave!" After a few guards standing at the door yelled angrily, Art and Ravens finally recovered and embarked on this magical road.
the way.
The road itself is still pure sand, and after being stepped on, there will still be footprints, but the depression formed will be slowly filled with the surrounding sand in about two seconds, returning to its original appearance - clean and smooth.
And neat.
They didn't know how long this sand road would last. Just in case, Art, Ravens and others still followed the previous large team and walked at the end of the crowd.
After about four hours of walking, when the sun was about to reach its hottest peak of the day, a rather spacious building appeared at the end of the field of vision.
The building is close to the sand path and looks a bit old, but it should still be well protected from the wind and sand and the poisonous sun.
When he saw that building, Art suddenly thought of the highways on Earth. There would be a rest stop about three to four hours away, and you had to pay a toll when entering the sand road.
Fei, the sense of déjà vu can only get bigger and bigger.
"Ah! I feel like I need to find a place for me to rest! My feet are about to be cooked!" Ravens screamed and quickly moved to the darkest corner of the room and quickly took off his shoes.
And the anvil behind his back, he took out a water bottle and poured it into his mouth!
"Is it that scary?" Seeing Ravens' uncivilized behavior, he felt a little disgusted, but after realizing that the others around him were not much better, he had no choice but to do it next to him.
"My boots are made of metal. They were already boiling hot two hours ago!" Then, Ravens came out with a little water and sprinkled it on his shoes, making a very slight rustling sound...
