Era of the transmigrating earth-Chapter 2142: Floating City Above the Swamp

After these days, Du You has confirmed that this world is indeed a new one.

Because Du You can contact the native world, his mental will can sense the flow of time on both sides. Du You has determined that no matter how much time passes here, it is still just one minute in the native world.

In other words, no one in this world has established a territory yet; otherwise, it wouldn’t be like this.

After all, there’s plenty of time, so Du You doesn’t worry too much. Along the way, the three of them stroll forward as if sightseeing, not in a hurry. Of course, to stop any disturbances, the three of them also wrap themselves up.

What frustrates them is that even after doing so, people still come looking for trouble. Although the strange stares have decreased, troublemakers have increased, making it quite exasperating.

"Honestly, more people are coming again. Haven’t these people ever seen women?"

Lin Yushi, a bit irritated, dealt with the person in front of her and then complained to Du You.

Lin Yucha also felt helpless: "No way, women are inherently a disadvantaged group. According to their view, those who need to hide their appearances are either good-looking or not strong enough to protect themselves. And since women in this area are a pretty good commodity, of course, they will make a move."

"Isn’t there anyone who’s ugly that hides themselves?"

"Sure there are, but definitely not many, because hiding oneself makes it easy to be attacked. So those who are ugly won’t do that unless they hide even further."

"Forget it then; disguising more will only be uncomfortable." Indeed, the two of them have good figures, so anyone can easily tell they are women. Hiding further would mean covering their figures as well.

They would have to stuff something in their clothes, which the sisters didn’t want to do since it would be too uncomfortable.

Might as well continue like this. Although there are troublemakers, as long as there are no strange stares, it’s fine. As for troublemakers, they can be casually swatted away without a big issue.

In the end, they came up with a better plan. Du You captured a Tier 4 wind attribute wolf-like magical beast, then directly controlled it with a secret method, making it his pet.

With this pet by their side, fewer people caused trouble. At least, until Tier 5, no one would easily mess with them. And those at Tier 5 wouldn’t act casually either. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

After all, beautiful women might be good commodities, but they aren’t worthy of a Tier 5 mage’s attention. They have other ways to make money and don’t need to do things that cause resentment.

Thus, the three of them could finally have some peace. "Ahead is the swamp; there are indeed many people here."

Yes, near the swamp, there’s a lot of foot traffic, and the people here have noticeably better qualities and strengths than before. In this area, even Tier 6 individuals are frequently seen.

"Let’s follow them and take a look; in a place where so many people gather, information is sure to be quite accessible."

The three silently continued forward, setting the magical beast free along the way. With so many people here, whether the magical beast survives or not is no longer Du You’s concern.

This swamp runs deep; without any power, navigating here would be difficult.

There aren’t specific paths for ordinary people, everyone walks on water, some fly, or ride magical beasts. Of course, things occasionally emerge from underwater here. For example, some aquatic magical beasts, though not many, are quite powerful.

Indeed, to survive in such a populated environment, how could they be weak?

Fortunately, there are some commonly used routes here; walking them prevents magical beast attacks. If you insist on wandering off, being attacked by magical beasts is inevitable. It’s no one’s fault if that happens, as sticking to the guidelines is key.

As they ventured deeper into the swamp, the three finally saw the legendary city.

"I didn’t expect it; it’s a Floating City. I originally thought it was a city floating on the water," Du You said, surprised by the sight, though it made sense.

If it weren’t airborne, who would place a city in a swamp? The damp environment is not generally favored, making it hard for such a city to develop.

At the city’s entrance, many stones were suspended, stacked layer by layer, floating in the air. Runes glimmered, signaling the Floating Array. This path was used for entering and exiting the city.

Each main gate had two portals, one for entry and one for exit. If there was a large amount of cargo, it couldn’t pass through here. Special personnel handled transporting those goods, but the transport fee was borne by oneself.

"The source of the floating power is the tall tower at the city center, similar to a Mage Tower," Lin Yucha concluded after feeling the energy fluctuations ahead: "There should be a Tier 7 expert residing in this city, at least in the late Tier 7. The aura of Tier 8 hasn’t been sensed, so it’s probably absent."

As long as one has certain knowledge, not just Tier 7, even Tier 3 or 4 could create a Floating City.

However, whether they can defend their city is another matter. But from what we see, Tier 7 isn’t weak in this world. At least in such seemingly remote areas, that’s true.

"No worries, we’ll go inside and take a look. If things don’t work out, we’ll control the city lord and investigate the situation here. It’s just a pity, occupying this city serves no purpose," Du You lamented. The territory standard is land, and this is suspended in midair. Even if it’s occupied, it can’t start the quest as the World Master, and they won’t gain their territory.

Of course, if this city is remodeled, it could be used as a weapon. It’s just unknown if the city is sturdy. If its foundation is weak, even occupying it would only make it a plaything.

Indeed, to Du You, such a Floating City is akin to a toy. If truly needed, building warships or spaceships would be more suitable. The three walked along the road, blending in with others as they headed into the city.

Entering and exiting required a fee, which Du You didn’t mind. With a casual hand, he handed over a few Magic Cores, and the three entered the city. Perhaps because the Floating City isn’t very large, it appeared rather crowded inside, making them slightly uncomfortable.
