A strange world

Chapter 633 Chapter 30. City in the Lake

Annan is the most suitable candidate - in addition to the qualities that Skeleton King praised, he is also weak and powerful.

At midnight, the Skeleton King asked Annan to come out with it.

Annan put on the burning blanket and followed the Skeleton King to the dark forest. A levitation spell was applied to him, pulling him up to the top of the tree.

Then Annan saw from a distance that the dark night in the distance suddenly burst out into a dreamy and brilliant light spot, which merged into the stars in the sky.

"This shows that the princess continues to control Lost City."

The blurred halo lasted for dozens of seconds and gradually dimmed. The Skeleton King cast his gaze towards a dark forest: "Let's go back..."

After falling back into the tomb, the stone door was closed. Annan sat in front of the bonfire and looked at the Skeleton King who cast spells on the door.

"What should I pay attention to after I set off?"

"The night belongs to them. Don't stay too long in the night or in places without light. The others are the same as before, stay away from unreasonable things, but add one more thing, stay away from common things."

"Why?"

"Will there be a little girl holding a doll standing on the street among the ruins of the rat-man-infested ruins?"

"You're right..."

"Also, you'd better not stay in Yiwen City for more than three days. If you haven't found the princess and the truth, come back..."

"Why?" Annan had a lot of questions.

"The weird aura will continue to affect you."

"I see."

Before meditating, Annan asked, "Can I bring a lemon?"

"Magical creatures are naturally monstrous shells."

"Forget it."

Lemon is not an ordinary water element, it is his eternal summon.

The night was spent in Skeleton King's quiet experiment and Annan's meditation. Occasionally, disturbing shadows linger outside the cemetery, which are also blocked by high-level spells.

The next day, the Skeleton King opened the stone door and let the morning dew in the forest wash away the turbid air in the tomb.

Annan ended his meditation. In order to save time, he just ate some bread, followed the Skeleton King on the skeleton carriage, and went deep into the dead forest.

Two hours later, a lake as vast as the sea blocked the road ahead of them.

In the middle of the lake, Annan saw a city in the lake.

A majestic mountain city standing on the mountain is surrounded and protected by three city walls. It simply does not look like it was built by manpower. The three white city walls are like the halo of gods, shining in the sun.

Countless towers stand in the city in the lake. These towers are either made of crystal, obsidian, or stone bricks. They are the embodiment of the belief in gods, and they are also a powerful symbol of Lost City.

If there were seagulls hovering in the distance and countless boats floating on the lake, Annan would really think he was in Wilhelm.

But now, the pearl-like city in the lake in the distance is lifeless, with no living creatures hovering in the sky. The deep lake is bottomless, and ownerless ships that have run aground and run aground are abandoned around the lake.

"You didn't tell me that Yiwen City is surrounded by lakes..." Annan said, looking at the endless lake.

"Are you afraid of water?"

"I'm afraid of things in the water."

Even outside, the ocean is dangerous. During the Xingyue Bay period, their ships never dared to leave the coastline too far.

The Sea Tribe and the abominable beasts such as Dagon live in the deep sea. Who knows if there might be some giant creature lurking in the strangely polluted lake?

"Then there is another way."

The Skeleton King continued to drive the skeleton carriage around the lakeside.

During this period, they avoided some camps. Annan saw traces of people and soldiers in those camps. It seemed that the southern countries had finally taken action.

This is good news. Annan shouldn’t be too lonely after entering Lost City——

Near noon, the skeleton carriage that circled half a circle around the lake stopped on a road in the lake that extended straight towards the city in the lake.

"It's just that shipping cannot support the prosperity of Lost City." The Skeleton King said.

The road in the lake, which is only about ten meters wide, looks like it will be washed away by a wave... but it is better than facing the lake directly.

"Give you this."

The Skeleton King handed Annan a magic bag and taught him how to pour out the bone powder and release it.

Annan recited a spell, and the scattered bone powder seemed to be carried by a gust of wind, turning into a skeleton horse with soul fire burning in its eyes.

"It will bring you to the front of Lost City. Remember, when night falls, hide yourself in a safe place."

Annan put the burnt blanket into his pocket, climbed on the back of the skeleton horse, and walked away along the road in the lake leading to Lost City.

The Skeleton King watched Annan and the road in the lake turn into black dots and lines. He returned to the withered forest by the lake, sprinkled a piece of bone meal, and the skeletons who climbed up began to dig a new cemetery in the forest...

…

The closer he got to the city in the lake, the more Annan was in awe of this city built by the gods himself.

In front of the tall but desolate city gate, Annan climbed off the skeleton horse, collected the bone meal, and entered the Lost City.

Annan, who was walking among the empty streets, looked left and right. This place is much more complete than the old royal city of the Kingdom of Rekaner...weird and not rat-men, they have no interest in destruction and destruction.

At least this is true for inanimate buildings.

The houses on the street look normal, but Skeleton King says normal means abnormal...

Suddenly, an upside-down house stood strangely between the rows of houses. The foundation that became the roof was still covered with dirt... This was definitely not normal.

Annan bypassed the upside-down hut and walked towards the second city wall.

At a certain moment, an old man suddenly ran out of a roadside shop in a hurry and staggered: "Please help me..."

Annan stared at the old man, stepped back and took out the burnt blanket in his pocket, and asked in a low voice: "Is he your kind?"

The charred silhouette crawled out of Annan's shadow and stared at the old man. The old man, who thought he had been saved, stepped back in fear, tripped over a stone, and screamed as he crawled: "Get away! Holy Dragon God, Please send down the light of salvation and help your humble servant..."

The charred outline shook his head slowly, it seemed that he was a living person.

"If you keep shouting, you will call all the weird people around you... She is my companion. I am going to the royal city to find the princess. Who are you?"

The old man shut up first, and after confirming for a while, he said that he was the patriarch of the Fischer family and that he returned to Strange City to find something.

"Something important was stolen from me..."

The old patriarch stayed in Yiwen City for two days, always lingering on the periphery and not daring to go deep. He looked a little delirious and said incoherently: "Do you accept the commission? I want to entrust you to go to Fisher Manor to find the stolen things..."

Fischer Manor was in the inner city, so it was a good idea, but Annan rejected him: finding things in Yiwen City is not an easy task nowadays..."

"That's right. You have no reason to accept the commission. I have nothing but money..."

The old patriarch held his head in pain.

"How much?"
