Dawn of the Grey Tower

The Dawn of the Grey Tower Chapter 885 Three-story road network Cheese who went to the School of Life did not choose to take the rails again, because the Totem School and the School of Life would have to go around the mountain a lot if they took the rails. Compared with the paths that pass through the mountains and the buildings in the hollow mountains, it is a more suitable place to take. Second, it was also because he wanted to think more about things through walking, about the things after all things, about the way back home and how to face those people.

Cheese still remembers how he was pushed out of the room in the high tower of the Valley City by Elsa in a state of embarrassment. He was very worried about whether he had changed after this journey, and whether he would return there. What she saw was an unacceptable decadence.

Probably not. Gray robe straightened his waist subconsciously. He should be different now than he was before departure, right?

"I'm going to the School of Life, can I rent a horse-riding beast here?" Although it was a passage through the mountain, the straight-line distance was still quite far. Just by walking and waiting for Cheese to get there, the sun would probably set.

However, just like using railroad tracks as a means of transportation, when the railroad tracks were not built, the mages set up some post-station-like places in the city to rent beasts for people who need to move fast.

Just like the big goat that Cheese rode when he returned to the inn from Totem last time, there are similar types of goats for rent at the inn, but the training level is naturally not as good as the one domesticated by the Totem School, which is the difference between domestic horses and war horses.

"Going to the other side, um, I heard that there is a tunnel in the middle that is damaged and collapsed. Now the condition of the rock wall is not stable, and the goat may have an accident. I suggest you rent a monitor lizard to go through the tunnel in the mountain."

The on-duty mage across a window thought for a while and gave Cheese a suggestion. However, with Rao's knowledge like Cheese, riding a monitor lizard doesn't sound like a very common choice.

"Can you tell us about the monitor lizard? I've never ridden this kind of creature."

The mage stretched out his hand and opened the door, saying please come with me. He took Cheese into the interior of the inn, and passed through several rooms, including a pen for keeping horses and a fence for grazing goats. The two walked down the stairs into the mountain. The mage lit a torch and shot one of them. Pass to the cheese. This is also the first time that Cheese has entered Wanfa's internal pipeline, which is the third-layer transportation network of the entire city.

Here is a brief explanation. The entire City of Ten Thousand Laws is excavated on the mountain. Although most of the buildings are built on the protruding platform of the mountain, half of it is in the mountain like the previous research institute. , the first layer of traffic in the whole city is spread and laid along the outer edge of the mountain like climbing a mountain, and it is also the earliest traffic line.

With the development and prosperity of the city, some not-so-vast tunnels were dug through, which filled and accelerated the coverage of the first-layer road network. Many research institutes with relatively remote addresses, including the Goblin Research Institute, are located in It was only at this time that it was established, so it was called the second layer of traffic.

The third-layer traffic network, that is, the roads that Chess is gradually seeing inside the mountain is composed of artificial passages, but it did not start to appear after the second-layer road network was formed.

Conversely, some sections of it may take longer than ground-level roads. The mages of Wanfa have long attributed the formation of the route in the mountain to the natural expansion and reuse of the excavated stones, but Gray Pao knew very well that the road network deeply buried in the mountain must have existed in the ancient times from the very beginning. in their plans.

And maybe, the route shown to ordinary mages is not complete yet, and there are many deep routes dedicated to certain schools or individuals that have been secretly preserved.

"You shouldn't be a mage here, it doesn't matter, many mages of Wanfa have never used these inner roads for various reasons. As an administrator, I can assure you that these tunnels are absolutely safe, and we provide you with them. Riders are also absolutely tame and dependable, and I would say they're probably better than those goats that are too lively."

The mage who led the way obviously had great enthusiasm for these inner tunnels. The tone of his persuading Cheese to use the tunnels was completely different from the laziness in the windows before. It feels like showing the treasures of your own family to outsiders, it won't make people feel hypocritical, and even a bit excessive.

The two walked into the corridor. When the torches were lit before, the metal grooves on the side of the tunnel also burned with oil. They lit the oil lamps one by one, but they didn't know how to put them out later.

"What you will see next is the most amazing riding beast in the City of All Laws. Our mages have captured wild individuals of this animal from those dangerous underground caverns, and after long-term iterative training, they have become docile companions. , is also a swift raider. Although I believe you are impressed enough with this city, your journey is definitely not complete without riding a monitor lizard running through the tunnels in the mountain."

Following this explanation, a large number of black shadows gradually became clear in the firelight. In all fairness, the appearance of monitor lizards is indeed much milder than Si imagined. They do not have bright green or brownish-yellow appearances, but generally show white and light brown skins. Compared with their carnivorous counterparts, these two-person giant reptiles have very obvious herbivorous features, such as teeth and tongues that are easy to lick moss.

"Please choose one of them, although they are all good guys and good girls. Or you can go to the center and let them choose you."

Cheese didn't understand the habits of these lizards, and he didn't know how to quickly distinguish the differences between individuals, so he walked to the center of the lizards and looked around at the creatures in these caves.

This kind of scene is probably scary enough, no matter how gentle it is, surrounded by these monitor lizards that can carry people, and in a place like a cave, no matter how you think about it, your legs will feel weak.

"Hiss." The tongue made a slight rubbing sound like a snake, and a beautiful milky white lizard emerged from the crevice of the rock, with a few lavender markings on its body.

"Oh, Xiaomei, you have a good relationship with the lizards. She is the fastest and most elegant of all." The manager said excitedly, and then stuffed some dried fruit into Cheese's hands.

"You get close to Xiaomei first, and I'll get the saddle. Then I'll teach you how to ride it."

So the helpless Cheese was left behind, holding a handful of dried fruit in his hand, and letting the monitor lizard named Xiaomei approach slowly under the gaze of many monitor lizards with gray eyelids.

Gray robe hurriedly tightened the cuff of his left hand. Without him, there was still a thunder rabbit inside. If Thunderbolt was frightened to detonate thunder in such a small place, the consequences would be disastrous. And the more this happened, the less he could panic, he slowly stretched out the hand holding the dried fruit towards Xiaomei and exhaled a little.

"Come on, let's eat."
