four hundred and forty-three
"The silver core food produced by the 800 year old silver leaf tree is one of the few delicacies in twilight city." Beside the carriage, an ordinary human like a guide was introducing Locke and others in the carriage.
This is the trade caravan of the shadow tower. After Locke paid 500 gold, he was escorted by this caravan, and specially sent a guide to them.
After receiving the silver core food handed over by the guide, Locke gave it to Raffi and Christine in the carriage. He took one of them and bit it.
The silver juice infiltrated Locke's lips, but his expression was a little stiff, too sour!
Locke likes to eat salty and spicy food, sweet is also acceptable, but sour taste is an obstacle he will never overcome.
Unlike Locke, Christine and Raffi like this rich and juicy sour fruit very much. After eating the fruit in their hands, they still want to buy some in twilight as their usual dessert fruit.
A week later, the team finally entered this famous city on the east coast after paying a 200 silver cable entry fee.
The city entry fee of 200 silver cable is a huge sum of money that ordinary families can save for four or five years without eating or drinking, but for the shadow tower team, this money is not even worth a box of goods they carry.
Twilight city is not a place for ordinary people. It is a paradise for the strong.
Because it is located at the intersection of Sony Kingdom, Manhattan Kingdom and Denis Kingdom, there are all kinds of people here, fugitives? The wanted black wizard? A lunatic murderer?
As long as you can pay a city entry fee, twilight welcomes you.
This "paradise" has attracted many people from the surrounding areas. The annual flow of people in twilight City hovers between 2 million and 3 million, which is no worse than that of the provincial capital of a large country.
Of course, there are not no laws and rules here. The powerful semi divine magician Louis is the peak of power, the maker of rules and the Lord of Twilight city.
It is said that the legendary magician at the peak of level 3 has made friends with the strong level 4 on the east coast. It is also said that the mentor of Lord Louis is Lord gaster, who is known as the "origin of magic".
Lord geist is a famous powerful magician on the east coast. He is a strong man who makes many worlds around the wizard world tremble and fear. He is a level 5 magician!
In the case that the level 6 strong is the top in the wizard world, the level 5 magician is the peak under the level 6 magician and the God walking in the world!
It is with such a terrible background that Sony Kingdom, Manhattan Kingdom and Denis Kingdom acquiesced to the existence of Twilight city.
"If you need anything, please come to this place to see me." The head of the caravan, shadow tower, is a smart middle-aged man with a moustache.
"OK." Locke put away the business card handed to him by the middle-aged man and called Christine and Raffi to leave.
He didn't come to twilight for vacation. After more than two months of recovery, Locke planned to find another opportunity to exercise himself.
Twilight city is worthy of being a famous holy land for criminals. Along the way, the three experienced many ill intentioned eyes, some of which were hidden and some were aboveboard.
The eyes of these people mainly stay on Christine and Raffi. There are many beautiful women in twilight City, but they are all forbidden by big people. How can they walk directly in the street like this.
Locke regretted that he didn't buy a carriage from the caravan and left. After smashing the backbone of three gangsters, these disgusting peeps were finally hidden in the dark.
One of the advantages of the third zone is that you can kill people in self-defense without paying any price.
Surrounded by patrol knights and magicians, these people also saw Locke's just shot.
When these knights and magicians saw Locke's action, they knew that the three Twilight gangsters had found the wrong opponent. This was at least a powerful quasi knight.
After paying 500 silver to the passing patrol knight for the damage of road public facilities, leaving three dead and penniless gangsters, Locke swaggered with his second daughter to the most upscale hotel in the street.
"Unexpectedly, there are many experts in this place." When he bumped the booty in his hand, Locke let out a sigh in his heart.
The three street gangsters all have medium-level attendant strength. Locke is more interested in twilight city.
"Boss, give me the best room!" Entering the hotel, Locke smashed his money bag on the counter and shouted.
The owner of the hotel was also quite strange. He was a middle-aged man with a prominent scar on his face. In terms of the muscles on his arm, he was almost catching up with Locke's thigh.
In my opinion, this guy is more like a thief leader who is ready to rob his house at any time than the owner of a high-end hotel.
"The best room is not cheap, young man." The boss is also a living treasure. When business comes to the door, he is not eager to entertain guests, but leisurely wiping a long blade with a wide arm.
The long blade glows coldly. It's a good knife.
"No matter how expensive, is this enough?" Locke raised his eyes and motioned for the money bag he had just thrown.
The three gangsters are at least middle-level attendants, which comes from the yellow and white glittering in their money bags. According to rough observation, they have the value of hundreds of silver cords.
"Huo! The money bags of the three Mars brothers? It seems that they have fallen today." The strong man's boss shrugged and didn't care if it was the dead man's money bag. He took a big hand and put the money bag under the counter.
It's just three middle-level attendants. Even if Locke hasn't fully recovered from his injury, these characters can't provoke him. Moreover, after the test of magic forest secret place, Locke's strength has changed qualitatively again, which is different from that before him.
"The money is enough for you to live for a month!" Behind him came the voice of the strong man's boss.
Nearly 800 Silver cables can only live for one month. Is the consumption level of Twilight city so high, or is the boss kidding him? Locke doesn't want to waste too much thought on such a small matter.
The strong man boss is not simple in Locke's view. He really can't connect a quasi knight with a hotel owner, but it's true.
Two days later in the evening, just after eating the nutritional package prepared by Raffi for him and taking a bottle of energy reagent prepared by Christine for him, Locke finally had the leisure to sit on the living room tables and chairs under the hotel and enjoy a cup of strong ale.
Ale is not free. It cost him 50 silver cords. It's really scary.
However, after two or three days in twilight City, Locke knew a little about the situation here. It was not the boss who was biting him, but the price of this glass of ale.
As for the reason, it is safe.
In this hotel, you don't have to worry that an enemy will come to the door, or be wiped off at night by haunting thieves and magicians.
Security is the most expensive and cherished thing in twilight city.
"Your dessert, sir!" The waiter is a young girl dressed in black and white maid clothes, with long wrapped chestnut hair, giving people a gentle experience.
"OK, thank you." Locke is a polite person, not to mention that the waiter is not low status. He is the daughter of the strong man's boss.
There are only two people in a luxury hotel, a boss's father and a waiter's daughter. It's very strange.
There are four guests living here with Locke, an old man whose hair is about to fall off, a young couple, and a woman in black robe who usually doesn't go out of the house. As for why Locke can know that there is a woman under the black robe, it is because Locke once accidentally smelled a trace of blue grass.
Blue fragrant grass is a precious magic spice, which is used to eliminate the mental fatigue of magicians after meditation. It is deeply loved by the majority of female magicians.
There are many backups in Christine's space ring, but these days she is busy overcoming her problems in the magical array of exploding fireball. Her meditation time is limited every day, not to mention the use of blue fragrant grass.
"Young man, what are you here for?" While Locke was tasting the mellow ale, the strong boss sat opposite him like an ordinary old friend.
"You can call me hankao. That's what people here call me." Han Kao, the strong man's boss, picked up a glass of ale from the disc held by his daughter and motioned his daughter to leave here.
"Purpose? To pursue the path of ascension." He drank a third of the ale in one gulp, Locke said with a breath.
The strong man's boss is not simple, but Locke saw with his own eyes the night before yesterday that an assassin who touched the roof of the bald old man among the four passengers was killed by the strong man without any resistance.
The assassin was also a good hand among the high-ranking attendants, but even Christine and other women didn't notice the fight. Only Locke turned over the roof through the window to peep through his keen perception.
He felt that the strong man's boss found himself, but they all looked like nothing. They greeted him with a smile the next day.
"Pursue the path of ascension..." The strong man savored what Locke said.
No one knows more about the hardships of Knight cultivation than the strong man boss. The blood and sweat that need to be paid to them should be calculated in kilograms.
"Fifteen years ago, we were very similar." The boss smiled and said to Locke. Then he looked at his daughter running to the back kitchen with deep meaning. "But now, I can only give you a suggestion."
"Oh? Please." Locke sat up straight. The strength of the strong man was not much different from his heyday. The suggestions of such strong men were still of great reference value.
"In the silver leaf forest north of Twilight City, there are a group of dark moon silver wolves domesticated by the light and Shadow Council. You can try to make a silver wolf heart." Said the strong man's boss.
"What's the use?" Locke looked at the strong man's boss seriously.
"Increase your chance of promotion by half." Picking up the glass, the strong man took a sip of ale.
