There was not a hint of wind on the sultry nights.The cracks in the stone walls were covered with moss, and when I reached out and touched the stone wall beside me, even the surrounding walls were warm, and the heat was a little overwhelming.The girls and I didn't stop in the alley, and the group went straight across the alley to the opposite street.Of course, this kind of thing of killing people in the narrow alley can still avoid Ying Li and them, so it's better to avoid them as much as possible.I left Katerina, Justes, and Ruka the Minotaur behind to deal with the two trackers, and it wasn't long before the three of them caught up from behind, and Justus, walking side by side with me, asked, puzzled, "Don't you want to ask who instructed them to follow you?"
”"It doesn't matter who it is."
I said to Justes.Justes' footsteps paused.I turned to him and said, "I just want to give them a warning, and this is also to warn the other people who are watching us, so that they don't think about us like ordinary sheep." ”A magic caravan sped by, bringing a cool breeze.Ying Li and Su walked in the front, and there was a set of pure white one-piece leather skirts in the window of the shop in front of them, and the cut of the leather skirt was very chic, but in order to pursue the style, the manufacturer added some hollow designs to the leather skirt, so that this leather skirt lost the possibility of becoming a magic pattern leather armor, Su stood outside the window and looked eager to try, looking like he wanted to go in and try."
You mean that even we are the stuff of these people?"
Justes followed me and asked.Looking at the bustling street market in front of him, the streets were full of people coming and going, and the streets of Qiyan City looked even more noisy than the water streets of Haiyin Silk City.I said to Justes, "You see there are so many shops on these streets, the streets here are clean and tidy, and there are a lot of adventurers in this city, and it is these trading houses in the city that make Strange Rock City have such a prosperous night scene. ”Justus and Ruka the Minotaur followed my finger in the direction of the shops with their dazzling array of goods in the windows."
But you may have forgotten that the merchants in this city have not traded with the Etian Alliance Kingdom for at least a year, and it has become more dangerous for the adventure party to enter the Wild Swamp, and even if there are some adventure groups in the Wild Swamp now, the number is not too many, and we can see from the guides who are looking for things to do on the streets, not many adventure groups are willing to venture into the Wild Swamp at this time."
I said.At this moment, I seemed to understand the feelings of the guides I met on the streets during the day, ordinary guides could not find a job in the city and could not make ends meet, so they desperately looked for things to do.And those experienced guides know what kind of danger exists in the wild swamp, and they are not willing to accept such dangerous tasks.Justes seemed to understand what I meant.The minotaur Ruka looked naïve, and his expression looked a little confused.I said to Justus and Ruka the Minotaur, "So what do you think is it that makes this border city so prosperous until now, a year after the outbreak of war with the lizard tribes?"
”"Shouldn't it be like the town of Trum, where adventurers came to the town and brought a great deal of wealth to the town?"
Justes takes a different view, retorting: "Isn't the city bringing new revenue to the city by gathering a large number of adventurers who spend their clothing, food, shelter, and transportation every day?"
”The minotaur shook his head, which was about to explode, and was silent."
It is undeniable that part of the wealth of the town of Trum comes from those adventurers, but most of it is given by the Black Forest, where the aborigines bring all kinds of resources from the forest to the town, which will bring rich wealth to the town of Trum."
I asked Justus, "And the wealth of Strange Rock City comes from that dangerous wild swamp, but there are not many adventure groups willing to take risks now, why do you think this city is still so prosperous?"
”"That's why you dealt with those two trackers?"
Justes looked at me deeply."
Isn't that enough?"
I stood there and said to Justes.Justes shrugged his shoulders, put one hand on Ruka's broad shoulder, and walked straight past me.He understood what I meant, and we didn't continue the conversation.Ruka the Minotaur whispered to Justus, "What the hell were you two talking about?"
”Justes and Ruka walked forward shoulder to shoulder, saying as they went, "He just told me that he smelled blood in the city. ”"AhhThat's it?
”Ruka said with a confused expression."
That's it!"
Justes grinned and bared a mouthful of sharp teeth, striding forward with Ruka.Dealing with the two trackers who were following us, the feeling of danger vanished completely, and my magical sense stretched out in all directions, with no one else to be seen.Seeing Ying Li and Su walking in front arm in arm, Anne walked behind the two with a worried face, she probably also felt that Qiyan City was in danger, it seemed that her expression was a little hesitant, probably a little regretful that she agreed to Su so easily, and took her to Qiyan City, but now Qiyan City looks like it is showing the glitz on the surface, and in those dark corners of the city, the danger is like a jungle beast squatting there to choose people to eat" Worried about Su's safety?
”I walked up to Anne and said to her."
No," Anne said, bowing her head a little weakly, and looking at her shoes step by step.I looked at Anne's side face, as if I saw Sister Guoguo, and blinked my eyes, Anne's outline became clear, and I said to Anne: "She is far stronger than you see her, and you and her have a reason to go on an expedition to the wild swamps" Anne looked at me suspiciously."
Want to know why I'm Leant and Fanny's adopted son?"
I wanted to tell Anne the story of Sister Guoguo, but I hesitated for a while, and I didn't know where to start.Anne was waiting for me to continue, when I heard Helena crying sweetly in front of the window of a shop in front of her, "Jiga, come here" I spread my hands apologetically to Anne and agreed: "Here you are!"
”This was the end of the conversation with Anne.Helena took my arm affectionately, and she smiled like a sweet sunflower, and said to me with a smile in her eyes, "You want to help us refer to it, how about this leather armor?"
”"It's okay" After saying that, I couldn't help but glance back at Anne behind me.The night in Strange Rock City is much more lively than the daytime, under the neon lights, you can always see groups of young people wandering the streets, some small vendors who can't be seen during the day don't know where to run out, and there is more smell of food on the street, which makes me feel that the taste of Strange Rock City is not in those high-end restaurants, but hidden in front of the food stalls in the streets and alleys.A group of us walked down the street, whether it was Helena, who was as good as the team, or Sue, who was as fresh as a little white flower, or sex.
Feeling like Becky, Anne and Caterina are all different, it's hard for us not to be the focus of those young people's attention.During this time, Ying Li's appearance has also been subtly changing, and the shadow of Princess Ireliel can be seen on her body, and the flawless face is constantly reappearing on her face, Ying Li is a little unaccustomed to being peeked at by many people, and a faint layer of carmine appears on her face.Some young people would boldly come over and ask if we needed guides, and when Anne asked them if they would like to go to the Wild Swamp, the faces of those young guides immediately changed color, and they laughed and said to us, don't be kidding, there are so many ladies in your adventure group, at most they are going to go around the rainforest in the north of Strange Rock City, who will go to the Wild Swamp at this time, it can't be called an adventure, it should be said to be sent to death.Please give up this idea of sending you to death!
The world is so beautiful, isn't it good to live?
It's as if our offer to go to the Wild Swamp has become a very decent way to reject these guides.Back at the Hollien Hotel, he met a group of young guides at the door of the hotel, and before they could gather around to ask, the Minotaur warrior, who was as strong as an ogre, came to the front, opened the door of the hotel, and stopped the guides from approaching with a cold look.Ruka and Justes opened a room in the Hollien Hotel, for the tall and tall Minotaur warriors, the Hollien Hotel has a special large room to entertain them, this kind of room is on the first floor of the hotel, the night manager of the hotel tremblingly leads the way, keeps looking back at the Minotaur warrior behind him, and says to the Minotaur: "If you don't think the quilt is long enough, we can provide you with a longer blanket" "It's okay, if your bed here is not that big, I can sleep on the floor!"
”Ruka the Minotaur said mildly, he never wanted to cause trouble to others.I settled Justus and Ruka the Minotaur, and then took Caterina upstairs with me.When I walked to the third floor of the hotel, I found that the girls of Yingli were actually sitting on the bench in front of the balcony enjoying the night view of Qiyan City, and Senior Sister Erica was also involved, she was wearing a tight vest and bloomers that looked a little unusual, stepping on a pair of soft shoes, and a cup of lemon tea in front of her, she looked like she had just woken up, and her hair looked wet. ”I squeezed between Ying Li and Helena, sat down on the bench, and said to Erica, "Not yet, but I've already issued a mission to the Thieves' Guild, and I'm sure there will be news of them soon." ”For this wild swamp, I hope that Senior Sister Erica can understand the recipe of a few more antidotes.Senior Sister Erica said to us at this time: "I just heard from the travelers in the hotel that there have been inexplicable disappearances of adventure groups in Strange Rock City recently, and even the Knights of the Guard Battalion in Strange Rock City have been involved in this matter. ”Helena's warm body was half-leaning in my arms, and she said to me with some concern, "Could it be that the disappearance of the expedition party is because the wild swamp is too dangerous, and all the adventure groups that go there are in danger?"
”Becky sat on Helena's other side and said with a smile, "Maybe it's the lizardmen tribe in the savage swamp who are blocking the swamp jungle." ”"Can you still laugh?"
Helena's eyes widened and she asked Becky.Becky hugged Helena's neck and said with a smile, "What's this!
We have never been afraid of the Nibru spiders in the Black Forest of the Hiero plane, so why should we be afraid of the natives in the savage swamp?
”Sue looked at Becky with envy, as if she was very envious of her ability to fight the Nibru spider people on the Hiero plane.Before the temple did not rain down the oracle of Liberty, the war of the Grimm Empire, the army will be accompanied by battle priests and priests, the battle priests can bless the knights with sacred beliefs with a blessing aura, and the priests will perform powerful healing techniques on the battlefield, because of these clerics, the combat effectiveness of the Grimm Empire's legions is at least twice as strong as it is now, so there is a big difference between whether there are priests in the team or not, for a battle.Su does not belong to the priesthood of the temple system, but she has divine power in her body, and under the teaching of Sola University, she can perform prayer healing techniques, she is a very special existence, and her body contains two completely different powers, I have always had an intuition that her dark body is far more powerful than the divine chakra, so her importance is self-evident to our adventure group, but she still knows too much about her own strength.Probably Anne doesn't know these things."
Don't guess, tomorrow we'll go to the Strange Rock City Magic Guild to find out the situation, and we'll talk about it later."
With that, I stood up and prepared to go back to my room to sleep.Naturally, Caterina went back to the room with me, and when I reached the door of the room, I found that Ying Li was also standing at the door of her room, followed by Helena and Becky, and only Sue, Anne, and Erica were left on the balcony."
Hey, do you have anything to say to me?"
I asked Ying Li with a smile."
No good night, Jijia."
She blushed slightly and replied.Striding up to her, she actually lived next door to mine, and our room door was only a few steps away, and I took her cheek and kissed her on the forehead, "Oh, good night, my princess." ”Her face was flushed at the moment.When I turned to walk back, she reached out and grabbed my magic robe, and suddenly hugged me from behind, this is the corridor of the hotel after all, she pulled me into the hotel room, hugged me tightly, and said with some distress, "What do you think we are?"
It's been so long since I've been married!
”I held her hands, and the reason in my heart was slowly melted by Ying Li's enthusiasm, "So you're ready?"
What about the promises we made to Manda?
”Ying Li was a little annoyed but stubbornly said: "Of course I will keep our oath, but in fact, it will not be that long"
