Chapter 153 Thunder City
"Yes, that's exactly it." Enzo admitted generously without denying it.
Isaac nodded slightly and said, "In that case, then you come with me. My inspection tour has just ended, and I plan to return to Thunder City now. I will take this opportunity to introduce the responsibilities of the garrison mission."
After saying that, Isaac turned around and walked forward.
Naturally, Enzo would not object and followed suit.
The two walked out of the forest side by side, with Dias following closely behind. It was not far away from Thunder City, so it took only half an hour for the two to arrive at the north gate of Thunder City.
"The Kingdom of Leighton has always been the territory of our Kendi family."
"Although Thunder City is located in a special environment, it is also within the family's sphere of influence. There are currently three official wizards stationed in the city. Among them, the most powerful first-order wizard Ulysses Kendi is my uncle."
While walking towards the city, Isaac introduced a few words from time to time.
The guards who were originally guarding the city gate knelt on one knee and saluted after seeing Isaac, which showed that the Kendi family had a lofty status in the Kingdom of Leyton, just like the royal family in the world.
After entering Thunder City, Enzo looked around.
This is indeed a large town controlled by three wizards, with wide cross-shaped streets running from north to south, surrounded by various strange buildings. Shops on both sides of the road are prosperous, and carriages pass by from time to time.
Looking forward, there are three towers standing in the center of Thunder City.
Each tower represents a wizard. The heights of the three towers are almost the same, but they are all over 200 meters. The tower is in the shape of a five-sided column and is made of white granite. The surroundings are engraved with rune patterns. A wave of magic power was faintly emitted, spreading in all directions of Thunder City.
"What is that?" Enzo suddenly raised his eyebrows as his gaze passed over the three towers.
In the center of the top of the three towers, there is a sphere that looks like a huge eyeball. It is constantly rotating. It monitors every move of the entire Thunder City and projects gray light from time to time.
"That's what you mean? Oh, it's the Eye of Twilight!"
Following the direction Enzo was looking, Isaac explained, "It is a special magical item. It is said to have a history of hundreds of years. It was hung over the city when Thunder City was first established. Listen to You. Uncle Lisis said that the Eye of Twilight can monitor the entire Thunder City and even the surrounding area. If there is an abnormality anywhere, the tower will be informed immediately."
"So that's it." Enzo nodded slightly and asked, "Does abnormality often happen in Thunder City?"
"In recent years, there have been very few abnormal incidents in Thunder City." Isaac shook his head and continued, "But the dark forest is not stable. Those rats hiding underground often come out to make trouble!"
"A rat hiding underground?" Enzo frowned.
"A group of degenerates who violated the Wizard's Holy Code established a Nightfall City underground in the dark forest. They occasionally come to the surface to plunder training resources, but every time they are crushed by the Thunder City." Isaac spread out. Palm, with a look of disdain.
Enzo's eyes moved as he searched for information about the dark forest.
The dark forest located in the south of Thunder City is a black area shrouded in shadow for a long time. It is said that in the ancient second era, when the gods ruled the world, a huge ancient kingdom once occupied there, which was called 'Er' by the world. Soos'.
The Kingdom of Essos believes in the goddess of the night, and its royal family claims to be the descendant of the goddess. During the Second Era, they followed the oracle of the goddess of the night to fight against the demons of the abyss, but in the end they were annihilated in the long river of history. The entire kingdom collapsed, and even the people who believed in it collapsed. The goddess of the night was nowhere to be found, and the dark forest fell into silence.
It was not until many years later, with the end of the Age of Gods and the rise of wizard civilization, that the Dark Forest was once again set foot on by humans.
Some fallen ones who violated the wizard's sacred code fled into the dark forest to avoid being hunted. Due to the special environment here, which is shrouded in shadow for many years, it is very suitable for fallen wizards to survive, so it also attracts more fallen wizards. A gathering place for fallen wizards gradually formed.
Initially, the Crow Phantoms simply sent a small team of wizards to hunt down the fallen wizards.
But when they were exploring the dark forest, they accidentally discovered that this forest was rich in a rare plant called fluorescent mushroom. This plant can assist wizards in meditation, so the Phantom Crows immediately established a Thunder City next to the dark forest. , and is stationed by three wizards, who are responsible for collecting fluorescent mushrooms.
"The fallen wizards hiding under the dark forest are not worth mentioning, but they need to be cleaned up every once in a while, otherwise they will overflow and affect the collection of fluorescent mushrooms. They are as annoying as mice." Isaac said Face disgusted.
The main purpose of the existence of Thunder City is to collect fluorescent mushrooms in the dark forest.
Although this work does not require wizards to do it themselves, they are needed to maintain order. Otherwise, various situations will arise when mortals enter the dark forest to carry out collection work.
After all, the dark forest is not a safe zone. In addition to the fallen wizard, it is also full of dangers!
"So, the task of stationing in Thunder City is to clean up the fallen wizards in the dark forest?" Enzo asked.
"This is just one of the tasks of the garrison mission." Isaac nodded slightly and said, "Strictly speaking, anything that may affect the collection of fluorescent mushrooms is within our scope."
Enzo nodded slightly, understanding the essence of the garrison mission.
Afterwards, the two continued walking on the streets of Thunder City and came to an area unknowingly.
"According to past rules, every apprentice who takes over the garrison task needs to report to the tower, identify himself to Uncle Ulysses, and show his mission credentials as the first thing upon arriving at Thunder City."
Isaac suddenly stopped, turned to look at Enzo, and said, "But recently, Uncle Ulysses is practicing in seclusion, so you don't have to go to the tower to report, I will prove your identity for you."
"Thank you, Senior Isaac." Enzo nodded in thanks.
"I just arrived at Thunder City, so I don't know what you need?" Isaac asked again.
"If it's convenient, I'd like to find a place to stay first." After hesitating for a moment, Enzo said, "The garrison mission is limited to three years. I have to live in Thunder City for a while. Living in a hotel all the time is not an option."
"Residence? That's no problem." Isaac nodded and said, "I can help you find a manor in Thunder City, but I don't know what specific requirements you have for a place to live?"
