Chapter 270: Storming the City

The sun was setting.

Only a wisp of burning clouds remained in the horizon, stubbornly trying to retain the warmth of the day.

The guards of Cloud City were shouting a signal to close the gates.

The reason why it was called Cloud City was not only to show its nobility and holiness, but also because the main city was built on the Tanggula Mountain Range that towered into the clouds.

The Tanggula Mountain Range was a barrier that isolated the magic beast forest from the human world.

Cloud City was built on the Tanggula mountain range. It was built with the intention of protecting the citizens residing in the city, and to prevent the invasion of Daemons.

The Tanggula Mountain Range was way too high.

Even if a peak was not the main peak, it was still more than a thousand meters above sea level.

Although Cloud City was famous, it was a main city that was isolated from the world.

Even the part of the city that was built on the closest side to the human territory, about 800 meters above sea level.

If ordinary people wanted to enter Cloud City, they would have to scale the steep mountain walls.

Even if one were to scale up the mountains completely empty-handed, they would still take at least a whole day to climb up to Cloud City.

Most of the people who went in and out of Cloud City were noble Beastmasters.

Moreover, most of them owned flying-type Battle Beasts.

Most of the flying Battle Beasts were small in size. Only a few of them could fly, and their combat strength was not very strong.

Therefore, Cloud City became one of the main cities of the Illumination Society.

The Illumination Society was a religion that focused on using Light Elementals and they were mainly focused on healing.

When needed, they would fly out of Cloud City to participate in battle. When there was no battle to be fought, outsiders would find it difficult to invade them.

Whenever the sun set, the guards would begin to close the city gates and prepare to get off work.

At this time, however, a dragon’s roar rang out from the horizon. A Divine Light Dragon with glittering scales was approaching the city at extremely high speeds.

At first, it was only the size of a grain of rice. By the time the dragon’s roar ended, it was already in front of them.

Hathaway raised her head from Locke’s body and looked at him with a bitter expression. She raised her hand to wipe the corner of his mouth.

She was a possessive woman.

Even at this time, she still made sure to flirt with Locke.

Locke was not in the mood, however.

After all, Hathaway was poisoned.

Before the matter was settled, the lower half of her body was to be sealed away.

Hathaway did not share the same sentiments, though.

It was fine thus far, as they were the only ones together. However, once they entered Cloud City, Locke would inevitably meet more outstanding women.

With Locke’s charm, there would be beautiful women offering to sleep with him at any moment.

Since Hathaway had no way of stopping Locke, the least she could do was to mark him with her scent.

That way, even if other women were to approach him, they would at most be playing second fiddle.

Her only regret was that the Divine Light Dragon was flying too fast, and that Locke was too strong for her.

Hathaway pinched Locke angrily and pouted while helping him to tidy up his clothes.

When the Cloud City Guard heard the Dragon’s roar, he was startled. He thought that it was a wild dragon from the Magic Beast mountain range that had run out.

When the Holy Light Dragon landed in front of the city gate, he found that there were two beast tamers, one male and one female.

“I’m sorry.”

“My name is Locke. This is my friend Hathaway.”

“We came from a distant mountain city. We crossed nearly ten thousand miles just to come to cloud city to ask for help. I didn’t expect to be a step late.”

“Can you please make an exception and let us in?”

“Locke is extremely grateful. Please accept this small gift!”

Locke took out a cloth bag and opened it. It was filled with magical beast crystals. The colorful crystals blinded the eyes of the guards.

“Young master is too polite. Please!”

“Brothers, work harder. Open the city gate.”

The leader of the guards took the magical beast crystals with a smile and ordered his subordinates to open the city gate again.

Although Locke only had some low-level magical beast crystals, each one of them was enough for an ordinary family to spend for a year.

There were at least eighty of them in this full bag.

There were only a dozen guards. If they took a share, they would have at least several years of income.

In order to defend against magical beasts, the city gates of cloud city were carved out of bluestones that were more than half a meter thick. They weighed at least a few hundred tons.

With the support of the machinery, the dozen or so strong guards used all their strength. It took them nearly an hour to close the city gates.

The machinery needed to close the city gates and open them was different.

The city gates were just about to be closed. Now that they had to open them again, it was not an easy task.

The guards shouted their names and adjusted the machinery.

The heavy iron chains on their wrists rattled. The stone gate made a heavy sound, but they could only move it bit by bit.

It could be seen that with the encouragement of the magic crystals, the guards had used all their strength.

Unfortunately, the machinery had not been adjusted properly. They tried their best, but they could only move the city gate bit by bit.

At this speed, when the city gate opened and closed again, it would be at least ten o’clock before it was completed.

Locke clearly had some understanding of the current industrial level, which was why he took out such a large bag of magic beast crystals.

Otherwise, the guards wouldn’t have such a good temper.

“Big Brothers, it’s been hard on you. Why Don’t you let me try?”

Locke was worried about Hathaway’s injuries, so he didn’t have time to waste here.

This was only the city gates. After entering the city, he still had to go to the church of light to find the bishop. He didn’t have time to waste here.

With a wave of Locke’s hand, the Holy Light Dragon raised its thick front paw and pushed it open carelessly.

The city gate was pushed open with a continuous creaking sound.

The light creature snorted disdainfully and lowered its head to enter. It even swung its tail. With a clang, the city gate was closed.

It was closed!

The Guards’eyes almost popped out.

I haven’t finished adjusting the machine yet.

If you forcefully shut the gate with brute force, and if the noose or gears don’t break, the city gate will never open.

The Light Sacred Dragon made a POSS, which he thought was very handsome, and waited for a long time, but he didn’t hear the expected exclamation.

He turned his head and saw that the guards had already run over to check the machine. ..

Even the magic crystals fell to the ground.

If something happened to the machinery, not to mention a bag of magic crystals, even if they were split up and sold by the catty, it wouldn’t be enough to pay off the debt.

“Hurry up and run!”

Locke secretly kicked the Holy Light Dragon who had caused trouble and turned his head to walk into the city.

This was cloud city, and there were beast tamers everywhere.

There was no need to put away the war beasts in the city. They only needed to shrink their sizes appropriately.

Moreover, Hathaway was still on the back of the Holy Light Dragon.

It wasn’t a big deal for Locke to carry her in the wild. There were people walking around with a woman in his arms. The realm was too eye-catching.

Locke was used to the existence of the Holy Light Dragon. He didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with it.

He didn’t realize how eye-catching it was to bring the holy light dragon around.

After pushing open the oak bar, Locke put on a friendly expression and wanted to book a hotel. When the people around him looked at him in surprise, he realized that he seemed to have overlooked something.

At this moment, a pretentious and surprised voice sounded.

“Oh, God of Light.”

“My Beloved Holy Dragon of Light, you have finally come to my side.”
