Chapter 523: City Of Stars
I was surprised when we arrived at what Lilian presented as a mountain where there would be an underground city underneath, that's because there was smoke coming out of the top of the mountain and a river of lava flowing from the top of the mountain to the middle where.
No matter how I look at it, all I can see is a volcano, when I looked at the others they looked at me not understanding what I was talking about, Samira was the only one who had a strange expression on her face before she exchanged a look with me and nod in agreement.
"This isn't a volcano, with that negligible amount of lava it's a far cry from what a real volcano looks like." (Lilian)
"I agree with Lilian, the lava of this volcano doesn't even seem to have magic inside, you can tell by the trees that are very close to the top." (Diana)
"The fire elemental energy is probably not that strong, thanks to that it must have some monsters living in the lava and it probably made a nest on the top of the mountain." (Nix)
"If this was a real volcano, then you could feel the heat even from this distance." (Vanessa)
I didn't imagine that magic could influence nature so strongly, if I'm not mistaken, I remember hearing that this continent and the Morror Continent are in a part of the world where energy is weaker, so I don't even want to imagine the types of disasters which should be the environments in the high ambient magic zones.
"I agree with you, Father." (Samira)
"But we have to remember that in a different world things are different, what each world considers normal is different." (Samira)
"But I don't understand, if there's lacquer coming out of this mountain or whatever you want to call it, then why is there a city under this mountain?" (I)
When we arrived it seemed like no one had noticed us as they were only paying attention to Anton who was trying to hold his wife Tania who was getting annoyed with so many people blocking the way.
As I didn't want to draw too much attention, I let Diana and rica picked up the couple while we went in the front, as soon as we went through the tunnel which was a light descent for a few minutes, I see something glowing on the other side, once we get to the end of the tunnel and I can see the city is surprised.
The city was a collection of buildings made of a variety of stones and decorated in bright colors, the glow I had seen was what was on top, the giant dome that was carved into or under the mountain had crystals of all shapes and sizes, shapes, and colors shining overhead as if they were stars in the sky.
The city below had crystals scattered everywhere looking like a city full of neon, the place where we left gave a good view from the top of the city to allow everyone who entered to see the beauty of this city.
It was also possible to see a lava waterfall that descended through a wall on the left side forming a small lake that leads to a river of lava that seems to surround half of the city.
To get to the city at the bottom there was a ramp carved in stone that leads to the city, I was standing there enjoying this beautiful view.
"Welcome to Cities of Stars, home to the finest craftsmen and blacksmiths from across the Dark Continent." (Lilian)
While listening to what Lilian was saying, I kept looking at the city where I saw bustling rias everywhere, this was the first time I saw Dwarves on this continent.
I could also see dozens of carts carrying piles of minerals or metals around the city, the vast majority of the people I was seeing on the city streets had muscles all over their bodies, even the women.
This whole city was amazing, I thought it was a shame I didn't have any kind of camera to start taking fireworks from everywhere, there was light magic that does something similar, but that's not the same thing.
