Chapter 052: Magic Carpet

Gomorrah, as a legendary city, was indeed magnificent, with wide streets, towering palaces, bustling crowds, and all kinds of merchants.

It was hard to imagine this was a city from the third millennium BC; one really wondered how these people had built such a majestic city.

But thinking that the people who built this city were the same ones who built the pyramids, Wang Bo seemed to understand somewhat.

After all, the pyramids were also a wonder of the world.

However, after wandering for a while, the problems here gradually emerged. First was the sanitation issue—though not as bad as ancient Europe where people relieved themselves anywhere, it was still far from optimistic.

Second were the thieves.

Wang Bo and Milo, because of their splendid clothes, had been targeted by several thieves, both adults and children, who had all made attempts on Milo.

As a champion of justice, Milo, after catching the thieves, did not hesitate to teach them a lesson, but that was all. Given her strength, if she had been slightly more serious, none of these thieves would have survived.

Of course, when encountering children stealing, Milo would catch them but not harm them; instead, she would sternly scold them a few times before letting them go.

Wang Bo said, "You know, this doesn't really work. After a few days of fear, they'll go back to stealing."

"I know," Milo replied. She was kind and just, but not naive. "So we need to take the witch, defeat Manon, and find a worthy ruler to take care of these children, at least to ensure their livelihood."

Wang Bo knew well that in the third millennium BC, in a slave society, talk of the elderly being cared for and the young being nurtured was nothing but a fantasy. But he did not refute Milo; instead, he nodded seriously.

"You're right. We should indeed pick up the pace."

"Then let's act," Milo said, looking at the palace in the distance.

So the two swaggered up to the palace. The guards at the gate, seeing them, were about to step forward to block them when suddenly their eyes rolled back and they collapsed.

Wang Bo could tell that Milo had used telekinesis to knock the guards unconscious directly. Against mortals, this technique was extremely practical. It was similar to Wang Bo's magical sleeping spell—both could defeat enemies without harming them.

Wang Bo and Milo charged straight in, knocking unconscious anyone who tried to stop them with a burst of telekinesis.

Hundreds of guards fell before Wang Bo and Milo like dominoes.

This situation quickly threw the entire palace into chaos.

By the time Manon heard of this, Wang Bo and Milo had already reached the witch's residence. Wang Bo pushed open the door and entered, finding a black-haired woman kneeling on the ground, waiting for his arrival.

As soon as Wang Bo stepped in, the woman stood up.

"Oh ho, looks like you knew we were coming," Wang Bo said, looking at the woman. She had delicate features and was a beautiful woman.

Her black hair cascaded like a waterfall down her back, and her skin was smooth, a healthy bronze rather than milky white, which made her even more alluring.

But compared to her skin, her attire was even more provocative, like a dancer about to perform. Her clothes barely covered her vital parts, with only a thin gauze over them.

Well, heaven knows how this era had such things. Wang Bo still didn't want to delve into it.

If asked, the answer was the gods.

But none of that was the point. The point was that the woman looked ready to leave, with a bundle in her hand, clearly prepared to run away from home.

So Wang Bo realized that the woman seemed to have known that he and Milo were coming.

"Yes, my lord," the woman said respectfully. "I saw hope."

"Then let's not waste time. Let's go." Wang Bo withdrew his gaze and turned to leave. The woman, Cassandra, quickly followed.

Milo glanced at the provocatively dressed Cassandra but said nothing.

The three of them swaggered back the way they came, preparing to leave the palace.

Just then, a series of footsteps sounded. At the palace entrance, a large group of archers rushed in, formed ranks, drew their bows, and aimed at Wang Bo's group.

If not for the addition of Cassandra to their group, the arrows would have already been loosed.

At the same time, footsteps came from behind Wang Bo.

Manon, having received the news, arrived with his weapons and guards, surrounding Wang Bo and the others.

Cassandra was neither afraid nor nervous, because in the future she had seen, these people could not trap them.

Seeing that his side had an absolute advantage, Manon did not hesitate to attack. "No one can act recklessly on my turf! No one!!!"

He roared, picked up a knife, and swung it at Wang Bo's neck.

Wang Bo's eyes flickered, and his telekinesis erupted, sending Manon flying with a bang, crashing into the wall.

"I can return those words to you. No one dares act recklessly in front of me, including you."

Wang Bo raised his hand, and telekinesis swept out. Whether guards or archers, all rolled their eyes and collapsed.

Manon got up from the ground, staring at Wang Bo in disbelief.

He did not understand why Wang Bo was so powerful.

Wang Bo did not even look at him; he led Milo and Cassandra out of the palace and strode away.

This filled Manon with unprecedented humiliation. He had not expected the enemy to not even deign to look him in the eye, as if he were beneath notice.

His confidence was completely shattered.

Wang Bo did not care what Manon thought. After the three left Gomorrah, Milo asked, "Where are we going now?"

Wang Bo looked at Cassandra, who understood and pointed in a direction. "We should head this way now."

"Why?" Milo asked.

"The person you two seek is in the east," Cassandra replied calmly.

Milo glanced at Wang Bo, who nodded and took the lead. The two women followed.

Because of the addition of the witch, Wang Bo and Milo had to slow down. But since walking was too slow, Wang Bo took out a tool suited to the era.

A magic carpet!

Yes, it was a magic carpet from the world of Aladdin.

Wang Bo had once copied all the treasures from the Cave of Wonders in the Aladdin world, including the magic carpet. But it had been useless before, so he had never taken it out.
