986: Twilight City (4)

Twilight City (4)

The name of the Twilight City had something to do with the city itself. Just as Nangong Mengmeng said, the entire city walls were made of metal. At dusk, the city walls reflected the light of dusk, as if the entire city had integrated with the light rays.0

As such, it was named as Twilight City.

A row of guards guarded the city gates.

Du Lang handed the invitation letter to the city guards. Not long after, a middle-aged man in light armor walked to the carriage.

"Welcome, City Lord of Sun Never Sets, Shen Yanxiao. My City Lord has prepared a place for you to rest. Please come with me."

Shen Yanxiao and the others alighted from the carriage and followed the middle-aged man into the city shrouded in dusk.

The interior of Twilight City was mostly made of metal, and the surface area of the city was slightly smaller than Blizzard City and Fantasy Devil City. It was crowded with the citizens of the seven countries, and the streets and alleys were exceptionally crowded.

Even the main road could only accommodate two carriages moving side by side.

The accommodation Twilight City had arranged for them was quite far from the center of the Twilight City, located at the southeast corner of the city. Shen Yanxiao and the rest walked for a long time before they arrived. There was only a small building at their destination.

"City Lord Shen and everyone, please rest here. People from Blizzard City and Fantasy Devil City will be arriving in two days. At that time, my City Lord will naturally welcome you." The middle-aged man had a smile on his face; his attitude was considered polite.

However, it was hard to imagine how friendly Twilight City was to Sun Never Sets when they had arranged for them to stay in such a remote and simple place.

Shen Yanxiao did not seem to mind. She acted as if she did not notice anything and smiled. "Thank you."

The middle-aged man said a few words to Shen Yanxiao before he left.

As soon as he left, the people of Sun Never Sets started complaining.

"Isn't Duan Hen too petty? He arranged for us to stay in such a remote place. Isn't he basically stating that he is not fond of us?" Tang Nazhi looked at the building that was not even as big as his mansion in Sun Never Sets with an unhappy expression. After all, they were the elites representing a city. It was somewhat negligent of Duan Hen to have arranged for them to stay here.

"The Twilight City is small to begin with. Perhaps the accommodations they have arranged for Blizzard City and Fantasy Devil City are similar. Don't be calculative." Li Xiaowei comforted him with a good temperament.

"But it doesn't have to be in a corner." Tang Nazhi still could not understand.

"Forget it, let's do as the Romans do. In any case, we are here for the tournament, not for sightseeing. It's fine as long as we can sleep here." Yang Xi was rather interested in the forging methods of Twilight City.

Shen Yanxiao did not say anything and merely led them into the building.

The building looked shabby from the outside and it was even worse when they entered.

The interior was simple and crude, with only some decorations. Other than the normal tables, chairs, and some furniture, there was only an old man in his sixties in charge of the building.

Not to mention that the old man was walking so slowly; his physique seemed to be unable to withstand much torture. There were at least a hundred people living in the building, it was somewhat unjustifiable to only arrange one old man to serve them.

There were no more than 30 rooms in the entire building. So, four to five people would have to fit in one room.

The decoration in the room was shabby to the extreme. Other than the bed, chairs, and tables, there were no cabinets. The empty room was only occupied by a large mattress that could accommodate four to five people.

It was even more simple and crude than a military camp.
