Chapter 667: Gul City

After Jade packed her simple luggage and Babel's secret letter, she led the traveling team to the stream again.

Jade asked Yuften for a large stack of crocodile skins, and Paimon quickly covered his nose and flew away.

Paimon asked in a muffled voice, "Why do you want this, Jade?" The smell of the crocodiles raised by the Tanit tribe was the worst fishy smell she had ever smelled!

Jade said vaguely, "These are rewards. I'll take them to the tribal merchants to exchange for something."

The traitor tribes she killed would not be wasted. After the meat was sent to feed the crocodiles, Yuften would give her some crocodile skins, and she gradually accumulated so much.

"There are a lot of good things in Adelphi that you can't find or exchange at other times. Everyone likes to go there to pan for gold. For example, small tools, toys, new clothes, and cosmetics..."

Jade said enthusiastically, "I'll take you to see if there's anything you want, and I'll give it to you in exchange!"

Sue doesn't want to accept her gift alone, but if she gives one to everyone, maybe she'll be willing to accept it!

Su didn't have much desire to shop on Taobao. "We looked around when we first got here, and there's nothing we want. Jade can just buy what she needs."

Su: "If there is nothing else, let's leave early." They really don't like it here.

Jade nodded, quickly went to the selling tent, and handed all the crocodile skins to the merchant Adelphi.

Paimon was puzzled, "Jade, you came here to buy something, why didn't you take anything?"

Jade said she was here to buy services, "After that day... BenBen seemed to be running out of energy. I left it here at Adelphi. He was able to get a special instrument to help recharge BenBen."

Paimon: "I see. No wonder we didn't see Ben Ben. I hope Ben Ben gets better soon."

After finishing all these, Jade finally led the team of travelers out.

After leaving the territory, the team of travelers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Sue: "I hate that place. The atmosphere is very depressing and the people there are all weird, especially that hypocritical mistress!"

Kong felt the same way. The seemingly lenient management was actually a bit high-pressure and terrifying. Wherever he went, there were unfriendly eyes staring at him.

Paimon: "I also think the crocodiles there smell much better than the ones in the rain forest... No, we shouldn't always speak ill of Tanit."

Maybe the more they say bad things about Tanit, the more Jade will be devoted to Tanit!

Jade had already learned to ignore Su's comments of "Tanito is trash! Babel is trash!" and pointed to the magnificent temple ruins in the distance and said, "That's our first stop."

Jade said that the huge sandstorm area of ​​Mount Dama is not a place of death that humans can challenge. Only those who are recognized by the town spirits can escape from there alive. Their journey to the Eternal Oasis requires the help of the town spirits.

"I see," Sue turned to look at Sora, "How about we go find Dolly and borrow her friend?"

Paimon's eyes lit up, "Oh, that's right! Dolly's friend is the Zhenling."

Jade: "Ordinary town spirits can only guarantee a certain level of safety. The mistress said that only the mother of the town spirits in the ruins of Gul City can open the way to the Eternal Oasis. We have to find the mother of the town spirits and gain her approval."

Paimon was disappointed, "I knew it wouldn't be that simple."

Su crossed his arms and said, "I knew that woman had bad intentions!"

Kong recalled the secret that Candice had told him, that some tribes that believed in the flower god would do whatever it took to absorb beautiful beings in order to obtain the blessing of the town spirit.

It seems that the reason why Jade invited her travel team to come to the Tanit tribe was because of Madam Babel, and Jade was being used by her.

The ruins of the city of Gur are right in front of us. The main part of the ruins is actually inside the canyon wall, and the only exposed parts are the outer temples and a huge chessboard-like square.

A sturdy young man stopped everyone's way, "Password."

Jade took out the secret letter from Madam Babel and handed it to the other party. After reading it, the young man's seriousness turned into intimacy, "I finally waited for you, little caracal, don't forget your business when you are reminiscing about the past with the beautiful girl."

Jade jumped onto the other's back and tore his ear off, "Asarig, you bastard! Stop talking nonsense!"

Asarige raised his hands in surrender. "I was wrong, I won't do it again next time."

Paimon was very pleased, "You two have a really good relationship." She had never seen Jade so happy since that day.

Su guessed the reason at a glance. The man named Asarig looked a bit like Gabriel.

Jade restrained herself a little and introduced, "This is Asarig, my senior in Tanit, and the adopted son of the mistress. I treat him as my brother, and he has helped me a lot."

Asarige spread his hands and said, "Oh, yes, she treats me as her brother. Otherwise, our relationship would be even better..."

Asarig looked at Su and said, "You must be the Su that Jade often talks about. You are indeed someone who is "not even a hair's worth of my strength". I lost."

"Ah, stop talking nonsense! Please don't let my friend misunderstand me!" Jade yelled and punched Asarig twice, then carefully looked at Su's expression, "He, he was talking nonsense..."

Su's expression was frozen, and he had no idea how to react.

Sora sighed, "Let's get down to business first."

Everyone skipped some sensitive topics about secret love, and Asarige led everyone into the ruins of Gul City. "This is an ominous place. Guests must pay attention and follow me closely."

The city of Gul does have a kind of chilliness that is different from that lost elsewhere in the desert, and Paimon sticks closely to his friends.

Su found a stone tablet standing on the ground not far from the gate. The words engraved on it had beautiful lines. What was even more rare was that she couldn't understand them.

Su pulled Kong over as well. After Kong carefully examined it, he determined that it could not be deciphered. "This is most likely the writing of a Zhenling."

After the town spirit disappeared and did not enter the earth veins, this world had no way of obtaining relevant knowledge, and it could not be conveyed to him and Su.

In addition to the stone tablet with spiritual characters, Su also found many stone slabs in this empty ancient temple, which recorded the glory and end of the city of Gul.

Parviz, who was good at fighting and was called the Spirit of Victory, inherited the throne and city-state from the poisoned Olmaz.

Parviz ended the chaos among hundreds of city-states in the desert, unified the desert, and ushered in the Golden Age of the desert.

But his glorious kingdom eventually perished due to riots and plague, and the history engraved on these stone tablets records the causes and circumstances of the riots.

After Parviz became a vassal king, he acquired the technology to make energy constructs from somewhere. This technology allowed him, who was already invincible, to unify the city-states.

Later, these energy constructs were used to build temples and wonders. The slaves who were suddenly liberated regained their freedom but had no food. In order to survive, they chose to rebel and formed an organization called Brass Mask.

At the same time, the oasis shrank, the water system gradually became paralyzed, and more people died. However, the noble class still reveled in the glorious city.

The stone tablet records that a general of commoner origin requested the meeting of dignitaries to allocate funds to appease the refugees in the disaster area and rebuild the oasis water conservancy.

The Council of Notables rejected the general's application and accused him of exceeding his authority, asking him to remember that his duty was to suppress traitors and heretics.

The general asked for money, and the nobles gave him riot control constructs and spirit-suppressing weapons. In short, there was no money, but there were plenty of weapons.

According to the record on another stone tablet, the money that the general did not get was used by the nobles to bribe the priests, asking them to frame him as an accomplice of the traitor Brass Mask.

As recorded on many stone tablets, the situation in Gur continued to deteriorate.

Eventually, the Brass Masks arrived at the gates of the city, and the angry and hungry refugees tore the priests apart and ate them.

The great Parvezrawan was stabbed to death on his magnificent bed by his son Hirui, the leader of the Brass Masks.

A few years later, dark cracks appeared in the earth, and a dark plague gushed out from it, turning Gur City into a place of death. Gur City’s third king, Shirui, also died here.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters, and finally the forbidden knowledge obtained by the Red King, kicked the final blow. The three generations of kings of Gul City, Ormaz, Parviz, and Shirui, all died a miserable death.
