Kobold Wizard's Journal

Chapter 89 Stars and Sunset

To Ruger, an ordinary member of this knight team was stronger than the leader of the mercenary group. Moreover, their temperament was different from that of the mercenaries who lived on the edge of a knife but just wanted to get by. They had a sense of solemnity and sharpness, and the sense of oppression they gave people was even stronger when the knights stood together.

At the end of the knight team, there was a belated beast cart, which looked much better than the previous insect cart, but this thing could only be used in the towns around the cave city. When it came to the wilderness, the small insect cart was more practical.

Luger just stood silently beside the handsome young man, watching everything in front of him with a smile.

"Master Lorigo, please."

The tall knight in the lead said solemnly when he saw the gorgeous beast carriage had arrived.

Lorigo smiled and said, "Long time no see, Longol, you are still so rigid."

The knight said nothing, but lowered his head and waited for Lorigo to get in the car.

Lorigo shook his head and walked towards the animal cart first. Ruge and the red-haired woman followed on his left and right and got on the spacious animal cart together.

Ruger was still looking at the gorgeous decoration inside the car.

The animal cart has begun to move slowly.

"I'm sure Lord Ruge wouldn't like the deep and secluded castle. You can live in my manor in the inner city. I live there most of the time, and I don't like the old-fashioned life in a castle," Lorigo said with a smile. "Of course, I know wizards like private spaces, and my manor is big enough. But if you're interested, you can also have Myrtle accompany you to buy a property in the inner city. It'll be my gift to you. I really hope you can settle down here."

"If that's the case, I will definitely advise my father to hire you as the lifelong magic consultant of the Star Family." Lorigo said excitedly.

After looking around the interior, Ruger chose a comfortable place to lean back, feeling very relaxed and comfortable.

He adjusted his posture again after hearing this.

"Sorry to bother you, but maybe I really will have to live in Starry City for quite a while." He said with a smile.

When Lorigo heard this, his eyes lit up and the smile on his face became even wider.

In fact, with the disappearance of Kalu, Ruge no longer has any more choices. Coming to Starry City to enjoy the light and civilization, meditating and practicing while enjoying life is definitely a good choice.

He could clearly feel the beast cart accelerating, but he didn't know how long it would take to get from here to Star City.

The knights arrived as soon as they arrived in the town, suggesting the so-called Baron had already received the news and was aware of their movements. On their return, they passed through the town of Abyssal Cave again, and the news may have been passed from there. It seems these Abyssal Caves are not, as the legends say, beyond the control of the Catacombs. Of course, the possibility that the Baron had someone within the mercenary group couldn't be ruled out. The young master's mischief might have been carried out under his father's watch.

"Are there any fun places in Star City?" Ruger asked casually.

"Interesting? How about the Colosseum? You can watch and place bets, or you can go down and fight yourself and show off your prowess. Of course, you don't have to do that," Lorigo said with a smile. "Once you're settled and have a few days' rest, I'll take care of my father's affairs and then I'll go with you."

Ruger showed an interested look. This was a good place for Aisijin and Dashaheng to train. He just didn't know if they were willing to go. However, Dashaheng, who was depressed after the last battle, should have the idea of ​​training himself.

The wheels are spinning rapidly, and when bumps become the norm, that is stability.

He opened the window and peered out of the beast cart. The rapidly spinning wheels had already carried them out into the sunset. According to what Lorigo and the others had said along the way, the light in the Cave City was already beginning to fade towards sunset at this time of year. Otherwise, one might have witnessed the spectacle of the sun rising from the sunset into the blazing sun. Ultimately, this situation was due to the light source controlled by the Cave City, which was ultimately just a giant lamp; it was still too weak.

Ruger gazed at the illuminated scenery outside the window, feeling the gentle breeze. He deliberately squinted, feeling for a moment as if he were in the world above. But he could only squint, and couldn't look upwards. No matter how high or magnificent the dome, it still wasn't the same blue sky and white clouds. They were like the legendary people chasing the sun. The light, which should have been dimming, grew stronger with each moment as they approached the cave city, gradually reaching a balance. It was like being trapped in the moment before sunset, unable to catch up no matter how hard they ran.

He had to admit that the roads in this cave area were well built, and the speed of the beast cart was getting faster and faster.

An unknown amount of time had passed, but when Ruger was about to close the window, he finally saw the legendary Starry City. According to Master Lorigo, the city got its name because his ancestors discovered that even after the light source was turned off at night, there were still spots of light, which looked very much like the numerous stars recorded in ancient books.

This city must be much bigger than I imagined, he thought.

The towering city wall that could easily block all common underground beasts was actually white, and looked like a city of holy light under the light.

Seeing his surprise, the red-haired woman explained, "The outer walls of Starry City are coated with the slurry of Haloxylon ammodendron slit-mouthed insects. A section is applied every year during memorial ceremonies. It takes about twenty-three years for the entire wall to be completely coated. During a famine, this deposited substance on the wall once saved many lives."

"That kind of split-mouthed worm? Isn't it called worm milk?" he said.

"It's just something that looks similar, and when you make tea it's called insect milk, but it's enough to feed some people," she said.

Ruger smiled, leaned against the car window and looked up, and finally saw the source of the light. In the middle of the dome, right above the cave city, a huge crystal was embedded in the unreachable dome, and it also seemed to have grown from above, and was now getting darker.

He kept looking up at the window all the way, feeling that there were traces of runes on it, which might be the work of a wizard.

"Is this thing related to wizards?" Ruger looked at the young master beside him.

"As expected of you, Lord Ruge," Lorigo said with a smile. "According to what I've read in the classics, wizards were present at the beginning of the construction of every underground city. Of course, I don't know the details. Star City has been here for over 800 years, and there are some things that only my father knows."

Luger nodded.

In fact, Ruge felt that these nobles were also very strange. The more he understood them, the more he thought so. They simulated the rising and setting of the sun and moon every day according to the crystal clock, and calculated the days and divided the years according to the calendar of the earth world in the records handed down. They lived year after year and passed it down to the people in their cave area.

The beast cart entered the Starry City unhindered, and its speed began to slow down gradually.

Ruger looked at the houses and streets in the city and breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was a good thing they were not white, otherwise it would really bring back bad memories from time to time.

Master Lorigo suddenly raised his hand and knocked on the car body, then opened the window on the other side.

"First, let me send my friend, Lord Ruge, to my manor," he said.

"Master, the Baron is waiting for you."

There was still that meticulous voice outside the car window.

"You must have heard what I said, Longol," said Lorigo, smiling.

"Of course, Master."

The knights finally changed their route and stopped in front of a huge manor.
