A few days later, the dusty-faced Cambrona ca to Void City together with Jane, who was still very confused at the mont.
Void City, the most prosperous city in the whole Main Plane or perhaps in the world, had been established for almost fifty years.
Over the past fifty years, it had experienced several ups and downs, but it still stood here. No residents had been killed in an earth-shaking crisis, and it was a well-deserved paradise.
Over the past fifty years, a variety of delicious foods, entertainnts and recreations, and all kinds of new things had been constantly appearing here. They then spread to the other parts of the Main Plane, which more or less promoted the progress of the entire Main Plane.
Cambrona had never been here before. He was a dirty pettifogger when he was young and was busy making money. Later, he was concerned about his wife and did not want to travel long distances, so he chose to live near Mill City.
Therefore, although he had heard of the city’s prosperity many tis before, he was deeply shocked by the scene he saw when he crossed the portal.
In front of him, there was a huge square. Including the portal he had passed through, about a dozen portals stood around the square. Each of them was constructed into different shapes. So were like wheat ears, so were like gears, so were like mountain peaks, and so were like flas. Inside the different fraworks, pure white light was the portal that led to all the prosperous cities in the Main Plane. For example, behind him, the portal that he just passed through was like a light ball held by two hands, and it led to the Highest Tower of the Mifata Federation.
This square was very large, but Central Square in Mill City was only a “small child” compared to it. However, for Void City, this square was nothing.
In front of the square, there was a road that could accommodate at least hundreds of people walking side by side. It led straight into the distance. Cambrona could not see what the end of the road looked like because of his poor eyesight, but he could see that there were several tall buildings that stood at the end of the road.
Firstly, there was a high tower made of precious stones, bending and rotating into the air. He could vaguely see that there were several platforms at the top of the tower. There seed to be sothing else on the platform, but he could not see clearly.
Then on the other side, there was a huge... He couldn’t tell what it was. It was red, crooked, and there was a huge arc in its part. As he gazed at it, he saw that there was sothing moving on it. Its speed was fast at first, but then it slowed down for a while; he wondered if it was an illusion due to his poor eyesight.
There was also a steeple that soared into the clouds. The top of the steeple beca larger, like a flattened ball. He felt like the flat ball was spinning, but he had to walk in to know whether it was spinning or not.
What’s more, there was also a huge circle on the ground. There seed to be sothing on the rim of the circle. He could not tell what it was, but he felt that the whole circle was spinning as well.
There were two square towers next to the circle that was connected to each other. One tower was very thick, while on the top of the other tower, there was a long bar. It seed that sothing fell down from the bar but was dragged back by sothing else.
Except for those man-made buildings, there was also a mountain that was apparently surrounded by sothing on its top, but... Damn! Cambrona hated his poor eyesight so much. Over the years, he had suffered more than once because of his poor eyesight.
“Hey, man! Don’t stand in the way!”
Just as Cambrona stopped to take a look, a voice ca behind him, “Let in! Let in!”
He just ca to and found himself standing in front of the portal. He hastily apologized and then took his wife and walked to the side where it was not crowded.
“Jane, what do you think of the scenery here?” He asked as he walked.
Jane stopped, looked around and gazed into the distance. After a while, she said, “It’s a very beautiful scenery, but I don’t know why I don’t like it.”
“Ah? You don’t like it?” Cambrona was surprised. For the first ti, he had heard soone say that they did not like the scenery of Void City.
“Yes. I always feel that there exists sothing that I hate,” Jane said. “But... there are also things that I miss and yearn for...”
She looked around carefully for a mont and then stretched her finger in one direction, in which a faint green could be seen.
“Over there. I always feel sothing over there calling .”
When she said this, her face was a little blank, but there was a light that flashed across her eyes.
Cambrona was a completely hen-pecked husband who always gave in to his wife. When his wife told him to go east, he would never go west, and when his wife told him to kick the chicken, he would never beat the dog. Now that his wife told him that there was sothing attractive to her over there, he would imdiately go there to have a look.
So they went directly to the place his wife told him about. But there was no way to get to the place. Cambrona went to a big man in a stiff blue-and-white shirt with a blue label on his chest in order to avoid getting lost. He knew at first glance that this man was a worker of the Void Mask Land and asked him how to get there.
“Over there?” The big man with Kazuna on his naplate was stunned for a mont. He thought about it and said, “Maybe it’s in the direction of the Tree of God. If you want to go to the Tree of God, you have to go to Central Square first and then go to North Square.”
He thought for a while and said again, “Although the Tree of God is a famous scenery, it is almost in the most northern part of Void City while the portal square is in the most southern part. Are you sure you want to go through the entire Void City to see the Tree of God? It’s a bit of a waste of ti.”
Cambrona looked back at his wife, but his wife did not want to change her mind.
“To tell you the truth, we are very curious about the Tree of God...” Cambrona made up a random excuse.
The big man laughed and said, “Man, you may not know that my biggest strength is to detect lies.”
Cambrona, whose excuse was exposed on the spot, felt embarrassed and laughed, but he insisted on seeing the Tree of God.
“If you want to see the Tree of God, you can’t walk. It’s really far away from here.” The big man pointed to a direction and said, “First, you have to go to the square that I pointed to, and you will see a green platform with a shed on it. Pay attention to the words painted on the wall next to it... Oh, you can’t see clearly. Then I will tell you that there is a bus stop over there. There is a bus from South Square to Portal Station over there. You can take the bus to North Central Square and then you have to transfer to another bus from North Square to the Tree of God. The terminal is not far from the Tree of God, and you can just walk there after getting off the bus.”
Cambrona was stunned for a mont. He did not expect the traffic in Void City to be so convenient. He thanked the big man and took his wife to the bus platform with curiosity.
The bus platform was large enough to accommodate hundreds of people. By this ti, there were twenty or thirty people waiting for the bus here. They were from different races and had different appearances, but they all looked calm and confident. That ant that they had lived a good life here.
While waiting for the bus, people who knew each other were chatting.
“Hey, did you watch yesterday’s Handso Half-Orc Adventures?” a tall and thin man with pointed ears who looked like a half-elf laughed and said. “It’s so funny. That big man always worries that he will be drugged by soone. He is such a big man! How can he be so foolish?!”
“It’s mainly because those fairy girl’s eyes are too frightening. If I were him, I would also be afraid.” The man who answered him was very big with a visible beard on his face and two pointed teeth on his lip. His tan skin was rather rough, which showed that he was apparently a Half-Orc.
“Well, we elves would never drug soone!” A female elf with green hair and delicate eyebrows and skin spoke up. “If we wanted to drug soone, a spell would be enough.”
“That’s not the point!” The Half-Orc stepped back and was a little frightened. “Why do you focus on this point?”
Watching his face fill with worry and the shorter female elf whose montum had overwheld him, Cambrona was amused and almost laughed out loud.
At this mont, many people on the platform had already laughed.
“You two really act so well... You can act on TV!”
“This is a good performance. I give nine points and deduct one point for fear of your pride!”
“You should change your jobs and go to the entertainnt industry. If you don’t do sothing cody related, it would really be a waste of talent!”
Seeing everyone laughing, including the Half-Orc and the female elf, Cambrona realized that they were performing a piece of a drama.
It looked really interesting. When Jane had recovered, we would live here for so ti and watch all these interesting dramas.
Shorty afterward, the bus arrived.
The bus in Void City was a huge tal box with rows of wheels under it. The puller was a robot that looked a little like a spider, but it had more legs, and it was much shorter than a spider.
As soon as it arrived at the station, the half-elf who had perford before smiled and greeted the puller. “Hey, Do’Urden, you look great!”
The spider turned its head and smiled. Its eyebrows twitched twice. “I’m feeling good every day.”
People laughed and got on the bus. There were large and small seats on the bus. Big n like the Half-Orcs sat in the back seat, while small n like dwarfs naturally sat in the front seats.
The Cambrona couple sat in the seats near the door and tied a pair of silver bands on both sides of their bodies like other passengers. Then they heard the voice of the robot called Do’Urden from in the bus.
“Bus No.13 is leaving. Passengers are requested to sit in their seats and tie their safety belts.”
Then it counted to ten seconds. Ten seconds later, the bus suddenly accelerated and moved forward quickly.
Cambrona was shocked at first and then was relieved to see that most of the passengers acted normal.
He could not help but laugh when he saw the scene outside the window.
Void City... was really amazing!
