A few days later, the dusty-faced Cambrona came to Void City together with Jane, who was still very confused at the moment.

Void City, the most prosperous city in the whole Main Plane or perhaps in the world, had been established for almost fifty years.

Over the past fifty years, it had experienced several ups and downs, but it still stood here. No residents had been killed in an earth-shaking crisis, and it was a well-deserved paradise.

Over the past fifty years, a variety of delicious foods, entertainments and recreations, and all kinds of new things had been constantly appearing here. They then spread to the other parts of the Main Plane, which more or less promoted the progress of the entire Main Plane.

Cambrona had never been here before. He was a dirty pettifogger when he was young and was busy making money. Later, he was concerned about his wife and did not want to travel long distances, so he chose to live near Mill City.

Therefore, although he had heard of the city’s prosperity many times before, he was deeply shocked by the scene he saw when he crossed the portal.

In front of him, there was a huge square. Including the portal he had passed through, about a dozen portals stood around the square. Each of them was constructed into different shapes. Some were like wheat ears, some were like gears, some were like mountain peaks, and some were like flames. Inside the different frameworks, pure white light was the portal that led to all the prosperous cities in the Main Plane. For example, behind him, the portal that he just passed through was like a light ball held by two hands, and it led to the Highest Tower of the Mifata Federation.

This square was very large, but Central Square in Mill City was only a “small child” compared to it. However, for Void City, this square was nothing.

In front of the square, there was a road that could accommodate at least hundreds of people walking side by side. It led straight into the distance. Cambrona could not see what the end of the road looked like because of his poor eyesight, but he could see that there were several tall buildings that stood at the end of the road.

Firstly, there was a high tower made of precious stones, bending and rotating into the air. He could vaguely see that there were several platforms at the top of the tower. There seemed to be something else on the platform, but he could not see clearly.

Then on the other side, there was a huge… He couldn’t tell what it was. It was red, crooked, and there was a huge arc in its part. As he gazed at it, he saw that there was something moving on it. Its speed was fast at first, but then it slowed down for a while; he wondered if it was an illusion due to his poor eyesight.

There was also a steeple that soared into the clouds. The top of the steeple became larger, like a flattened ball. He felt like the flat ball was spinning, but he had to walk in to know whether it was spinning or not.

What’s more, there was also a huge circle on the ground. There seemed to be something on the rim of the circle. He could not tell what it was, but he felt that the whole circle was spinning as well.

There were two square towers next to the circle that was connected to each other. One tower was very thick, while on the top of the other tower, there was a long bar. It seemed that something fell down from the bar but was dragged back by something else.

Except for those man-made buildings, there was also a mountain that was apparently surrounded by something on its top, but… Damn! Cambrona hated his poor eyesight so much. Over the years, he had suffered more than once because of his poor eyesight.

“Hey, man! Don’t stand in the way!”

Just as Cambrona stopped to take a look, a voice came behind him, “Let me in! Let me in!”

He just came to and found himself standing in front of the portal. He hastily apologized and then took his wife and walked to the side where it was not crowded.

“Jane, what do you think of the scenery here?” He asked as he walked.

Jane stopped, looked around and gazed into the distance. After a while, she said, “It’s a very beautiful scenery, but I don’t know why I don’t like it.”

“Ah? You don’t like it?” Cambrona was surprised. For the first time, he had heard someone say that they did not like the scenery of Void City.

“Yes. I always feel that there exists something that I hate,” Jane said. “But… there are also things that I miss and yearn for…”

She looked around carefully for a moment and then stretched her finger in one direction, in which a faint green could be seen.

“Over there. I always feel something over there calling me.”

When she said this, her face was a little blank, but there was a light that flashed across her eyes.

Cambrona was a completely hen-pecked husband who always gave in to his wife. When his wife told him to go east, he would never go west, and when his wife told him to kick the chicken, he would never beat the dog. Now that his wife told him that there was something attractive to her over there, he would immediately go there to have a look.

So they went directly to the place his wife told him about. But there was no way to get to the place. Cambrona went to a big man in a stiff blue-and-white shirt with a blue label on his chest in order to avoid getting lost. He knew at first glance that this man was a worker of the Void Mask Land and asked him how to get there.

“Over there?” The big man with Kazuna on his nameplate was stunned for a moment. He thought about it and said, “Maybe it’s in the direction of the Tree of God. If you want to go to the Tree of God, you have to go to Central Square first and then go to North Square.”

He thought for a while and said again, “Although the Tree of God is a famous scenery, it is almost in the most northern part of Void City while the portal square is in the most southern part. Are you sure you want to go through the entire Void City to see the Tree of God? It’s a bit of a waste of time.”

Cambrona looked back at his wife, but his wife did not want to change her mind.

“To tell you the truth, we are very curious about the Tree of God…” Cambrona made up a random excuse.

The big man laughed and said, “Man, you may not know that my biggest strength is to detect lies.”

Cambrona, whose excuse was exposed on the spot, felt embarrassed and laughed, but he insisted on seeing the Tree of God.

“If you want to see the Tree of God, you can’t walk. It’s really far away from here.” The big man pointed to a direction and said, “First, you have to go to the square that I pointed to, and you will see a green platform with a shed on it. Pay attention to the words painted on the wall next to it… Oh, you can’t see clearly. Then I will tell you that there is a bus stop over there. There is a bus from South Square to Portal Station over there. You can take the bus to North Central Square and then you have to transfer to another bus from North Square to the Tree of God. The terminal is not far from the Tree of God, and you can just walk there after getting off the bus.”

Cambrona was stunned for a moment. He did not expect the traffic in Void City to be so convenient. He thanked the big man and took his wife to the bus platform with curiosity.

The bus platform was large enough to accommodate hundreds of people. By this time, there were twenty or thirty people waiting for the bus here. They were from different races and had different appearances, but they all looked calm and confident. That meant that they had lived a good life here.

While waiting for the bus, people who knew each other were chatting.

“Hey, did you watch yesterday’s Handsome Half-Orc Adventures?” a tall and thin man with pointed ears who looked like a half-elf laughed and said. “It’s so funny. That big man always worries that he will be drugged by someone. He is such a big man! How can he be so foolish?!”

“It’s mainly because those fairy girl’s eyes are too frightening. If I were him, I would also be afraid.” The man who answered him was very big with a visible beard on his face and two pointed teeth on his lip. His tan skin was rather rough, which showed that he was apparently a Half-Orc.

“Well, we elves would never drug someone!” A female elf with green hair and delicate eyebrows and skin spoke up. “If we wanted to drug someone, a spell would be enough.”

“That’s not the point!” The Half-Orc stepped back and was a little frightened. “Why do you focus on this point?”

Watching his face fill with worry and the shorter female elf whose momentum had overwhelmed him, Cambrona was amused and almost laughed out loud.

At this moment, many people on the platform had already laughed.

“You two really act so well… You can act on TV!”

“This is a good performance. I give nine points and deduct one point for fear of your pride!”

“You should change your jobs and go to the entertainment industry. If you don’t do something comedy related, it would really be a waste of talent!”

Seeing everyone laughing, including the Half-Orc and the female elf, Cambrona realized that they were performing a piece of a drama.

It looked really interesting. When Jane had recovered, we would live here for some time and watch all these interesting dramas.

Shorty afterward, the bus arrived.

The bus in Void City was a huge metal box with rows of wheels under it. The puller was a robot that looked a little like a spider, but it had more legs, and it was much shorter than a spider.

As soon as it arrived at the station, the half-elf who had performed before smiled and greeted the puller. “Hey, Do’Urden, you look great!”

The spider turned its head and smiled. Its eyebrows twitched twice. “I’m feeling good every day.”

People laughed and got on the bus. There were large and small seats on the bus. Big men like the Half-Orcs sat in the back seat, while small men like dwarfs naturally sat in the front seats.

The Cambrona couple sat in the seats near the door and tied a pair of silver bands on both sides of their bodies like other passengers. Then they heard the voice of the robot called Do’Urden from in the bus.

“Bus No.13 is leaving. Passengers are requested to sit in their seats and tie their safety belts.”

Then it counted to ten seconds. Ten seconds later, the bus suddenly accelerated and moved forward quickly.

Cambrona was shocked at first and then was relieved to see that most of the passengers acted normal.

He could not help but laugh when he saw the scene outside the window.

Void City… was really amazing!
