Chapter 114 The Nameless Town
Richard had already arrived outside the town, and he stopped and observed the town.
The town is not big, with only about a hundred buildings. Most of the so-called houses are four walls, and a cover is added to it. The most magnificent building in the town is just a two-story building, and it is also extremely simple. It looks like the slums in some large cities in Norland, which are much better than here.
Richard was surprised when his eyes fell on the light black light curtain. This light curtain was actually not simple. The rules contained in it were dense and clever. A thin layer of light curtain actually had the function of shielding and correcting distorted rules. This is by no means a trivial matter. You should know that the time lighthouse actually plays a similar role.
Inside and outside the light curtain, there are completely two worlds, and many twisted rules are blocked from the light curtain, and the town should be a fairly normal environment.
At this time, a group of people walked out of the town, including four humans and three strange-shaped aliens. These aliens had heads similar to beasts and were also walking upright, but their forelimbs were two clusters of tentacles.
Richard frowned and remembered a race: the Thanas.
The Thana tribe is not famous in Norland, but among the strong men exploring the void, this tribe is quite famous because the Thana tribe has natural space powers and can easily hide itself in the void and has a very fast speed. They are thieves and thieves in the void world. Many places where the strong men temporarily store supplies have been visited by them, and even some legendary wizards have left their footprints on the semi-plane of the legendary wizards.
If the three alien races were really the Thana tribe, it would not be a trivial matter. The Thana tribe is somewhat similar to the dragon. They are both strong individuals and have low fertility, so there are not many races.
At this time, an old human in the middle shouted to Richard: "External, where are you from."
The old man didn't know what language it was, but Richard was very glad that his familiar language magic that he had solidified recently was actually effective. When the old man asked for it for the second time, he could already understand and answer it.
"Norland."
"Norland." The old man was obviously surprised, but the spear in his hand slowly lowered, and said, "It's really surprising that there will be people from Norland. Are you a new God-loving person? Oh, no, no, you don't have the order of God-loving person, but how can you come here?"
The old man talked to himself for a while, then waved to Richard and said, "Come in, you can't stay in that ghost place outside for too long."
Richard walked towards the old man as he spoke. When he passed through the light curtain, he deliberately slowed down and carefully realized that the light curtain was indeed magical, and it did filter out many twisted rules. When he walked behind the light curtain, Richard suddenly felt like he was relaxed.
The old man's face clearly had traces of time and wind and frost, but his eyes were still sharp, and his hands holding the gun were also stable. He looked at Richard and said, "There are very few people coming from Norland. It is a promising main plane. The men inside do not look down on the valueless place like the dark area. How could you come here?"
Richard said calmly: "According to an accident, I was going to explore a secret realm, but I didn't know why I suddenly appeared here."
"According to an accident, okay, just think it's an accident." The old man shrugged, stared at Richard with a sharp look like a knife, then waved to him, and said, "No matter whether it's an accident or other reasons, there is no difference now. Come with me. There are still some houses in the town that are empty, so you can find a place to live in it."
"Is there no hotel here?" Richard asked.
"Do you think there will be people staying in hotels in this hell, but there are taverns. If you want, you can go over and sit there anytime. That is the only entertainment in our town, and there are even spirits sold there."
Speaking of the spirits, the old man's throat section slid up and down significantly.
Richard followed the old man to the other side of the town, and there were several houses here that were empty. Just as Richard saw outside the town, these so-called houses were simply shacks, and they couldn't even stand straight when standing inside.
There are only extremely simple facilities in the room. A wooden board is a bed, a few stones are tables and chairs. There is a stove pit in the corner of the house, but there is no pot or bowl, and there is no door or window at all.
Several houses looked similar, and Richard pointed to one casually and moved in.
At this moment, he sat on the stone and began to sort out the information he got. Now Richard understood why the old man directly assigned him a house because he had nowhere to go.
In this dark area, transportation and information are extremely difficult. People in the town only know that there is a city far away, but the news comes from a traveler coming from that city.
It was a powerful warrior, but when he traveled through the vast wasteland and came to this town, he was already dying. After leaving the direction of the city, he soon died.
However, no one in the town has the ability to go so far. When you go to that city, you will be hurt by twisted rules all the time. Even the strongest warriors cannot withstand much time, so unless they have to, people in the town will not walk out of the light curtain.
Most of the towns are lives that have been growing in dark areas. Here, humans and foreign races can always live together. If they lose the power of the group, I am afraid that no one can survive here. There are also a very small number of people like Richard who come from the wasteland outside the light curtain. It is said that the earliest one has lived here for hundreds of years.
Richard sat in the hut, motionless, and continued to analyze the rules. This was a strange world. Richard had not found any way to replenish his magic. He had not felt hungry yet, but his physical strength was indeed consumed bit by bit, so he had to save every little bit of magic and physical strength.
After the old man threw Richard into this hut, he never appeared again. Looking out from the door, there were no one on the street, no birds, beasts, insects, and no life. The sky was always gray-black and never changed. There was no day and night at all, and there was no change in weather.
About a day later, Richard finally resolved a new rule, which made Richard's feeling of the dark area clearer and his movements became stable.
The basic rules that make up the world in the entire dark area are the same, but all rules are distorted here, and the distorted way is also a kind of rule. Through the observations over the past few days, Richard has successfully established a model.
To make your perception match the dark area, you need to analyze sixteen major rules. To use the rules of the dark area, you need to analyze the additional sixteen rules.
Now, Richard has unconsciously parsed six rules, so there is no major problem with basic actions.
It was not until this time that Richard decided to go to the town to take a look, especially the tavern, which seemed to be the only special place here, and it should not be missed.
The town was still empty, but when passing an intersection, Richard suddenly heard a loud and bustling sound. He immediately looked at the origin of the sound and saw that at the edge of the light curtain, an alien similar to a lizard man was fighting with a Tana man, and there were several residents of the town watching.
The Thana was seen by Richard, while the Lizardman had a raw face.
Richard walked over quietly and asked a human race, "What's going on."
The man shrugged and said, "A foreigner who had just arrived in the dark area didn't recognize his situation. When he thought of coming here to act wildly, he thought he was invincible in his plane."
The battle between the Lizardman and the Thanahman was not fierce, and it was even a bit funny.
The lizardman attacks all at once, with no accurate head at all, and his steps were staggering, like a drunken man who had no taste of a truly strong man.
The Tana was obviously teasing it, and sometimes it was so arrogant that it used its tail to sway in front of the lizardman's big mouth. It was so angry that the lizardman was furious and grabbed and bitten, trying desperately to break the tail, but it opened its mouth wide and insisted on biting it in the empty space. The more it tried, the bigger the head was.
Richard immediately realized that the lizardman was still in a state of disordered perception, and this type of race often had strong combat talents, but it was much worse in terms of analyzing the rules. If it fell into a dark area, it was indeed considered unlucky.
Under Richard's observation, the movements of the tower man actually had many unnatural aspects, but it was well concealed, but this could not be concealed by Richard who had a real vision.
"It's time to have enough fun. We're still waiting to eat fresh meat." Another thanna shouted.
During the battle, the Tana nodded, suddenly pulled out a short knife, rushed to the lizardman, stabbed it hard into its soft abdomen, and then stroked it fiercely.
Blood and flesh gutters guttered out of the lizard man's belly. The man standing next to Richard touched a large basin from somewhere and placed it directly under the lizard man, catching all the blood and flesh gutters.
The onlookers also rushed over and pressed the lizard man down. Several people took out the dagger and knife, and in a blink of an eye the lizard man was on the spot.
Richard narrowed his eyes slightly and found that the place seemed to be more cruel than expected. After a moment, the lizardman turned into pieces of meat.
The man walked past Richard with a basin of blood from his internal organs and said, "You didn't do your best, so you didn't score. You must not be able to adapt now. Many people were like you when they first came. It would be better after a while, and you will be like us. But you are a good guy with good luck. Old Barr is very interested in you and he won't let us touch you."
"Who is Lao Bar?" Richard asked.
"It's the old man you met when you came. You can always find him in the tavern."
At this time, the two tower men walked over with a lizard man's hind legs. One of the strongest ones stared at Richard, and suddenly handed over the hind legs, pointed to Richard's knife box, and said, "It's your turn."
"No change." Richard refused of course.
The Thanahman showed two terrifying fangs and growled: "The consequences of refusing blood teeth are very serious, the tender boy."
