Chapter 519: Gem Flower City
After Ranran and Anzi had been walking for nearly two hours, they finally heard a faint sound coming from afar, like the sound of many people gathering together to celebrate, and there was also a faint fragrance in the put away his thoughts and looked up, only to see a city wrapped in darkness appear before his eyes. The light emanating from it was warm and charming, like a street lamp in the middle of the night, attracting people from all directions to fly into the flame.
Ranran and Anzi walked for a while in the dark before they finally arrived at the foot of the city and could see its appearance clearly.
It covers a vast area and you can't even see the edge of the city when you look to the left and right. The whole city is magnificent and spectacular. From the scale, it looks like Chinese buildings, but the style is completely different.
Ranran looked up and could see the blue dome-shaped watchtower on the white city wall. However, the buildings in the city were completely blocked by the tall walls, so Ranran was unable to judge what style the city was.
Although the city walls are tall, they cannot hide the bright lights, rich fragrances and carnival sounds, which attract people from all over the world.
Yes, there were many people, like Ran Ran Anzi, wearing all kinds of clothes that were incompatible with the style of this city, and most of them were wearing pajamas.
Anzi whispered, "The time of each trial is random. This time the trial happened to be when everyone was sleeping. It was like a pajama party."
There were two huge men standing at the city gate. Ranran estimated that they were more than two meters tall.
The two men were wearing huge steel armor and were very well armed from head to toe. There was no skin exposed. Ranran couldn't even see the eyes inside their helmets. To her, it was pitch black.
The two men, like two small mountains, stood upright on both sides of the city gate, facing the road leading into the city gate, motionless. They seemed to pay no attention to the strange people who kept pouring into the city.
But when Ranran looked at the darkness in their eye sockets, she suddenly felt that the eyes of those two people were desperately turning towards the crowd, with an urgency that was completely inconsistent with their appearance.
As Ranran followed the crowd and walked past them, she felt more and more that the creepy feeling of being stared at was real.
Ranran subconsciously grabbed Anzi's arm, then immediately let go and walked quickly into the city.
Anzi wanted to ask, but when he saw Ranran's unhappy expression, he chose to shut up.
Although they could hear the grand celebrations outside the city, when they saw it with their own eyes, they still had to marvel at the prosperity and bustle of the city that far exceeded their imagination.
The road seemed to be paved with marble, dotted with many sparkling gems. Under the light, it looked like a colorful river of stars flowing on the ground.
The road was extremely wide and clean, with almost no dust to be seen, and it stretched straight to the other end of the city.
There were many people wearing colorful robes browsing the shops on the street, and they all looked very wealthy.
Most of the men's shirts are tight-fitting, made of luxurious silk, with buttons made of various gemstones sewn on their coats, and their trousers are all tucked into shiny leather boots.
They were wearing long or short cloaks, with golden swords inlaid with gems at their waists, and their hands covered with gem rings would point to some goods from time to time, looking very impressive.
The ladies' attire is even more praiseworthy.
Most of them wore tight long dresses that reached their ankles, showing their plump breast curves. Their sleeves were long and narrow, and their waists were gathered with jewel-studded belts to show their slender waists. The fabric on the lower body was also close to the body.
However, outside their long dresses were loose and luxurious robes made of fur of some unknown animal. When they moved, the long dress would leak out from under the robe, revealing their slender and straight legs. This kind of dress almost perfectly highlighted their body curves.
In addition to the pedestrians coming and going on the road, there are also many parade floats, all of which are filled with flowers and bright torches.
The acrobat boy flexibly passed through the fire rings on the float filled with decorations, causing exclamations from the onlookers.
The dancing men and women twisted their bodies passionately and crazily, their white waists and slender legs attracted a large number of audiences to cheer for them. The scene on the street was so lively that people couldn't look away, and the buildings in the city were also eye-catching.
All kinds of luxurious houses and shops were neatly stacked on both sides of the road like tofu blocks. They were tall and gorgeous, with artistic four-angled roofs and exceptionally clean white walls, as if they were brand new.
Moreover, there is no building here that does not radiate light; bright light fills every corner of the city.
The whole city is like a city that never sleeps.
"It's so lively!" Anzi couldn't help but murmur as he looked at the bustling scene.
"I thought the trial would be scary, but I didn't expect it to be this style."
Another thing that almost fills the city like light is fragrance.
They had just smelled it outside the city. It was a very strong fragrance that felt like the scent of countless perfumes, flowers, and spices intertwined together.
Now when I look around the city, I see that it is indeed true.
No matter what goods a shop sells, flowers, perfumes and spices are indispensable.
People coming and going all carried flowers or sachets, either pinned on their heads or around their waists.
As for whether they had sprayed perfume, Ran Ran really didn't have the courage to go up and smell it. She was almost fainting just by standing away from the shops and the crowd.
Anzi covered his nose and said in disgust: "It smells so good, it's too good, it makes me want to vomit."
Ran Ran frowned, then took a deep breath, and it took her a while to recover.
"Let's follow the people who entered the city first and see what we can find." Ran Ran almost had difficulty breathing.
Anzi covered his nose tightly with the only long-sleeved cloth he had and followed Ranran forward.
Ran Ran tried to search for other trial-takers in the crowd. Why did she need to search? Because there were simply too many people.
Although there were many trial participants pouring into the city, they were almost invisible once they blended into the crowd. With so many people, it seemed as if everyone in the city had come out to participate in the activity.
Thinking of this, Ran Ran casually asked a passerby: "Excuse me, is today a festival?"
"Festival? You are such a stupid and ignorant outsider. Our Gem Flower City is so grand and lively every night." The man who was asked had a ruddy face and his narrow eyes were full of sarcasm. He twirled his mustache with disdain and answered arrogantly.
He seemed to be completely oblivious to their strange attire, especially the rolling pin that Ranran was holding in her right hand.
"Thank you."
After getting the answer, Ranran continued to follow the trial-taker in front of him, not caring about that person's attitude. Anzi followed obediently and didn't say a word unless Ranran gave instructions.
I don't know how long they walked, but they finally came to an open square. There were countless potted flowers here, it looked like a sea of flowers.
There is a huge fountain in the center of the square. In the pool stand many statues of people carved from colorful gemstones, each one is life-size!
"This is so rich! It really deserves to be called the Jewel City. There are gems and flowers everywhere! They really love these two things like crazy!"
