Chapter 788 Gotham Experience(1/3)
New Calendar 2535.
Twist!
Carlody was awakened by the knock on the door, and her headache was split. When she opened her eyes, she was dim. The air was wet and stuffy. The bed board and the whole room were swaying slightly. The narrow cabin he was in made him trance for a moment before remembering that he was not at his comfortable home.
I was hungover last night and lay down all night without even taking off my clothes.
A voice sounded outside the door again: "Carlodi, are you awake?"
"woke up."
Carlodi got up, and the first thing he did was to check the submachine gun that would not even sleep. The dark gun body was firm and firm, reflecting a faint metallic luster in the darkness, and the tentacles were cold, but it added a bit of confidence and security to him.
As a gunman, the soul gun is his second life.
The appearance of this submachine gun is exactly the same as the mass-produced submachine gun sold by the Machinery Union, at least there is no difference on the surface.
In fact, it is a special model, equipped with an expensive and rare dimensional magazine, which stores three different bullets, totaling 20,000 rounds. Whether it is lethality, rate of fire or range, it is better than ordinary submachine guns.
It is called "Black Star", which is an adult gift I received on my 18th birthday last year.
He stroked the gun and was lost for a moment.
"Carlodi?"
Another crisp and gentle female voice sounded, "The boat will arrive at Gotham soon. Come out quickly, we are all here."
Just listening to the sound can tell that its owner is a young girl, at least not too old.
A pretty face appeared in Carlody's mind, and he quickly inserted the submachine gun into the holster on the outside of his thigh, patted it, and confirmed that it was very firm, so he went to open the door.
There was a man and a woman standing outside the door.
The man is about twenty-five years old, with a very handsome face, more beautiful than most women, tall figure, and wearing a elegant enchanting robe. He is easily mistaken for a woman at first glance. When you look closely, you will find that his expression is not as good as a woman. His body is always surrounded by a breeze, and his pupils are strangely green, as if a hurricane is brewing in his eyes and will erupt at any time.
Anyone with a little knowledge can recognize him as a storm warlock who is not easy to mess with.
Beside him was a younger woman. Her pretty and charming face was a bit immature, obviously only sixteen or seventeen years old, but her figure was well developed. Even wearing tight dark purple leather armor could not hide her talent, and her whole body was filled with a youthful and lively atmosphere.
The two have a somewhat similar appearance, obviously they are a brother and sister.
"Harmon, Firaya."
Carlody scratched her head and apologized with some embarrassment, "I drank too much last night. I've never drunk so much before, so I overslept."
Warlock Harmon nodded gently, indicating that he was understandable.
Fellaya said angrily: "We have knocked on the door three times. If you don't come out again, we will break into the door, afraid of seeing something that shouldn't be seen."
"There is nothing you shouldn't see..." Kalodi was afraid that she would misunderstand, so he quickly explained, "You can come in and watch whatever you want."
Seeing that he was at a loss, Fellaya immediately smiled and said, "I'm teasing you!"
Carlodi felt relieved.
Harmon told seriously: "Carlodi, if you have poor alcohol tolerance, try to drink as little as possible in the future. Extraordinary people must always be sober and alert, and they must not relax even when sleeping. Although it is safer on the boat, accidents may occur. Beware of those who have bad intentions."
"Yes, I remember." Carlody Zheng pointed, "Thank you Brother Harmon."
In fact, he also understood these experiences, but the ship was getting closer and closer to Gotham City, and he became more and more nervous. Last night, he wanted to relax in the bar on the upper deck, and Fellaya was there, so she couldn't help but drink too much.
"Stop talking about this, we'll get to the deck soon. There's no good place to go if it's too late." Feilaya urged.
Carlody was also a little too anxious, "Let's go."
The three of them went out of the middle cabin and boarded the uppermost deck of the ship.
When they arrived, there were already many people on the deck, and the best positions were occupied. They could only stand on one side of the ship. Fortunately, they were close to the side, and the view was also very good, and they were facing the Shield Island.
It was already half past morning and the sun rose to a very high place.
In late autumn, the weather is cool.
There is no cloud in the sky, and the sea surface is relatively calm. Only a little sea breeze blows on your face, which is very comfortable.
The horizon can already be seen directly in front of the ship. As the ship advances, the horizon gets closer and bigger in his eyes, and soon becomes a coastline that cannot be seen at the end, from west to east, lying in front of the route.
"The Shield Island is here!"
"The Shield Island is ahead, we're about to get off the boat."
Cheers rang out from the crowd on the deck.
Carlodi and the other two were also very happy. They boarded the boat from the Bay of Albert, sailed south along the west coast of the New World, passed the city of Rabaz, arrived at the Fenglei Islands close to the Southern Continent, and then passed through the narrow "Torrijos" canal between the New World and the Southern Continent, turned north and arrived at the City of Cstro.
Kestero is the farthest human stronghold from the empire. From here, he heads north along the east coast of the New World, with no more ports or strongholds in the middle, until Shield Island.
The entire voyage lasts three weeks.
Except for three stops in the middle, Carlody was almost vomiting when she lived on the boat.
They boarded the ship from the Bay of Albert and only took half a journey. Some passengers boarded the ship from the Empire and lived on the ship for a month and a half. Even the extraordinary people could not bear the hard life at sea, and many people lost a lot.
Feilaya cheered and looked at the Shield Island in front of her.
Soon, the outline of the city appeared on the horizon, and some tall buildings could be seen clearly.
"Look!"
Fellaya pointed to the front and said excitedly: "It should be Gotham City there!"
Both Carlodi and Harmon opened their eyes wide. Carlodi was the gunman, and the first main soul of the fusion was the Night Owl. He had better eyesight and could see further.
Then, he found a huge shadow standing on the horizon in the distance, straight up and down, like a curtain covering the area. The shadow curtain is located on the west side of Gotham City, which seems to be located in the bay.
"What's that?"
Carlodi was shocked. You should know that the ship was dozens of miles away from Gotham City but could see this shadow, which shows how huge its size was.
As the ship approached, someone soon saw a strange phenomenon.
"What is that dark shadow?" someone exclaimed on the deck, pointing to the shadow screen in the bay, everyone's attention was drawn.
"Oh my goodness!"
"Goddess is here!" Some people became scared and couldn't help but worry, "What's going on in Gotham City, right?"
"That's the Dark Sky Array."
A crew member explained loudly, and seeing that everyone was looking at him, his face felt a little proud: "Two years ago, Speaker Rennes arranged this magic circle on the 'Isle of Truth' in the Gulf of Shield Island, covering the entire island and the sky, forbidding anyone to get close. It is said that a magnificent magic temple is being built on the island, and it will be completed soon."
The passengers' faces suddenly became clear.
Most of them are ordinary people and are coming to the New World for the first time.
I chose to take a boat instead of a teleportation array because the economy does not allow it, and the news is relatively closed. I don’t know much about Gotham. I was attracted by Gotham’s growing reputation and many legends that have become famous. I boarded the boat when I was in a hurry, hoping to find a way out in this emerging place.
There are not many extraordinary people like the three Carlodi.
"So it's the Temple of Magic!"
Feilaya was very curious.
She is a first-level shadow warrior, and she can see it more clearly than ordinary people. After the inspection, she was shocked and couldn't help but say: "You can see it so far, it must be taller than the wizard tower. This magic temple is too big, right?"
Harmon also sighed, his eyes full of awe.
He is a believer of the goddess of magic.
Kalodi whispered: "It should be more than three hundred meters high, and it is much wider than the Wizard Tower and several times larger in size. If it is built, it will definitely be the largest temple in the mortal world, which is larger than the Temple of Truth in Nosrel, and much larger."
"Carlodi, have you been to Northrier?" Fellaya turned back.
"Uh, no." Carlody's face looked shy, "but I've read the Temple of Truth in the book, and I've always wanted to go but I don't have a chance."
"I want to go too. Let's go together if you have the chance in the future." Feilaya immediately suggested, looking yearning.
Carlodi happily agreed, "Okay!"
Soon after, the ship turned west and entered the "Xiawan" in the Dundao Bay, which looked like a huge eagle beak with an opening eastward. The ship sailed in the Xiawan for half an hour, approached the north of the Eagle beak, passed through the strait less than three miles wide, and drove into the "Xiawan" in the Dundao Bay.
Gotham City is on the right side of the Bay.
A city wall that is dozens of miles long is built along the coast, and it is impossible to see the end at first sight. Fortunately, the upper deck of the ship is very high. When you look over the tall city wall, you can see tall buildings rising from the ground. The streets are extremely wide, allowing dozens of horses to travel side by side at the same time.
There are traffic on the street and pedestrians are everywhere.
The architectural style of the city is completely different from that of the empire. Low houses are rarely seen, and buildings dozens of meters high can be seen everywhere, with at least seven or eight floors.
There are many buildings with twenty or even more than thirty floors, and they are very dense, gathering into huge communities.
In the commercial center of the city, there are dozens of skyscrapers more than 100 meters high, and the tallest one is even more than 300 meters, which is only slightly shorter than the wizard tower built on the high ground in the middle.
The appearance design of these skyscrapers is unique, none of which is repeated, and many are attached to glass curtain walls, beautiful and atmospheric, shining brightly in the sun, as if exquisite works of art, embodying the wisdom of architectural designers.
The people on the ship were looking straight.
They have never seen such a city. Gotham City is different from any city in the world, but they cannot describe what kind of architectural style it is. They only have one feeling in their hearts.
That's shock!
This is exactly the same as they expected. The Shield Bird was a blasphemy land with the undead rampant. What can it be built in just a few years?
I dare not compare with big cities like Modu or Northreil, it would be nice to build a rough urban base, and everyone is also mentally prepared to enter a dilapidated small city.
To be continued...
