As soon as the members of the "Mountain Antelope Hunting Group" left, the beautiful countess actually said that it was not convenient to go into the city together and planned to leave first.
"What? You want me to take this barbarian into the city?"
Ren was also stunned after hearing Canosha's instructions.
Although he had already guessed that this lady's identity was probably not simple, and she didn't want to go into the city with him, she probably had no intention of going into the city at all.
But he didn't expect that she would actually throw the "oil bottle" she picked up from picking mushrooms to him.
Canossa looked at Ren with a pair of peach blossom eyes and said with a smile: "Yes. If we don't come back in half a month, you can handle it."
Ren's face looked a little unnatural, and he didn't want to take this job, "But, this..."
Canossa didn't wait for him to refuse, and blew him a passionate kiss and said, "Dr. Lane, we'll see you in the future~"
Ren's eyelids twitched: "..."
Sam passed by him, smiled and patted his shoulder, and said: "Practice those secret techniques well. Actually, after I thought about it, if you can control the source power and not leak it at all, you can actually practice it. "
Is the source of control not leaked? That's like controlling the body not to generate body heat, how is it possible!
Ren heard a black line on his forehead.
"Do you have a secret method to control the source of your power?"
"I don't."
Sam seemed to see through the complaints in his heart, and smiled innocently: "Others can't do it, but I think you can. I hope you can give me a surprise next time we meet, and I look forward to your progress!"
Without waiting for Ren to say anything more, Sam and the others left with the outstanding countess, and soon disappeared on a branch road.
Leave Renn alone... Oh, no, there is also a barbarian girl who is as sleepy as a rice dumpling.
"Eh... It seems like I got a hot potato."
Ren looked at the "caterpillar" on the ground, sighed, then carried her on his shoulders and walked towards the majestic city.
... .
Outside the "City of Glory" there is an ultra-high thickened steel city wall of more than 300 meters, which is also the best barrier against wilderness monsters.
The city gate was guarded by guards wearing heavy armor. The leader exuded a coercive aura and looked like he was at least a third-level [Demon Hunter]. Even ordinary guards have a fierce light from years of fighting in their eyes.
As rumored, you don't need to take off your gas mask when entering the city. As long as you are human, no one cares who you are. No matter whether they are princes or nobles, monster thieves or wanted criminals, they are all treated equally.
Anyway, they are taking money to enter the city.
"Who is this?"
"A not very obedient slave."
"Slaves also need to pay the same entry fee."
"no problem."
"Keep the nameplate and wear it at all times. If you lose it, you will be expelled by the city guards."
"..."
Renn had a brief exchange with the guards at the city gate, and then spent three hundred gold crowns in exchange for two identity plates with fifteen contribution points.
There is a special magic mark on this iron-black brand, and a little contribution will be automatically deducted every day.
If you run out of contribution points and don't recharge, your character will change color and you will be immediately discovered by the guards and driven out of the city.
In the city, it is difficult to move around without an identity card. Whether you are buying or selling items or staying in a hotel, you must show it.
Renn spent a huge sum of three million on himself and Barbarian Girl, just in exchange for the right to live in the city for half a month.
Such extravagant "shelter fees" will definitely scare away most hunters.
... .
The "Glory City" is divided into five urban areas, and the total urban area is no worse than some large cities in Rennes' previous life.
Five "Behemoth Lord-level" war machine cities serve as the core, with steel barrier isolation areas, sergeant fortresses, and observation towers built outside.
The general architectural style in the city is similar to that of the British Victorian era in Wren's previous life in the 19th century, with spires, chimneys, cross windows, and Gothic exterior wall decorations.
In addition to these dense and towering buildings, the most numerous ones are magic towers. Each magic tower represents a high-level magician of level three or above. There are probably tens of thousands of them in this "Glory City".
The five urban areas are independent, and the cities are connected by steam trains.
Renn was used to seeing international metropolises in his previous life. Although he was also shocked by this kind of steam machinery city, it wasn't much.
But the barbarian chick from the Stone Age isn't so calm. After entering the city, she looked inside the steel monster, her eyes widened.
Large steam trains, cable cars between tall towers, giant tower cranes, robotic arms, large steam furnaces, and giant artillery.
Everything here was something she had never seen before and was beyond her cognitive scope.
She even didn't understand what she saw!
In front of us, we probably saw the legendary "Devil's Capital".
The barbarian girl was so panicked that she kept struggling on Ren's shoulder.
... .
"Hey, calm down or I'll give you a sedative!"
Ren spanked the girl's butt angrily and yelled.
This "oil bottle" did not create any value for himself. On the contrary, he just wasted his 1.5 million yuan entry fee!
Moreover, apparently this may also be a "ticking time bomb."
He kept this savage girl by his side purely to fulfill the countess's request, thinking that he would keep her for ten days so that she could be delivered.
But if it was because she brought him some unnecessary trouble, he would not hesitate to get rid of it.
No, not long after entering the city, Ren discovered something unusual.
... .
The entire city is dedicated to hunters. The main streets in the city are lined with various shops, the most common of which are magic props shops, gun shops, machine shops and various resource shops.
The streets are crowded with people, not much different from the lively pedestrian streets in previous lives.
"As expected, I'm being followed."
As he walked, Ren frowned slightly and glanced at the guy in the black coat behind him from the corner of his eye. He muttered in his heart: "I was really guessed..."
Before he entered the city he had surmised that if the savage chick was trouble, she might be followed.
So I paid more attention and specifically chose dense streets to walk. It looked like I was shopping, but in fact I deliberately took several circuitous routes that normal people would not take.
This time, I found an abnormality.
The people following them were a group of three, and their methods were very professional.
At different intersections, in order to prevent the same person from being followed for too long and being discovered, they would switch tracking.
But there is no wireless headset communication in this world. If they want to exchange information, there must be some communication. Either eyes, predictions, or body movements.
The details of these tracking may not be noticeable to a layman. But for the "fellows", those three people had the words "I'm following you" written all over them!
"A mustachioed plumber costume, a moccasin-booted wilderness hunter costume, and a woman... "
Although Renn didn't have the ability to recognize faces in a huge crowd, not to mention that the other party deliberately concealed his face.
But the "intelligent brain" can easily distinguish and compare them.
Although those guys would occasionally change their hats, gas masks, wigs, etc., other similar physical features would be automatically identified by the system.
He deliberately wandered through several busy streets, and these three faces repeatedly appeared in his field of vision, and he also "cross-dressed".
Obviously, these guys are coming for him.
... .
The reason why Ren was so embarrassed before and didn't want to take over this "hot potato" was that he had guessed what might happen at this moment.
When he met and found this barbarian alive in the wild, he guessed that things were definitely not that simple.
With such a majestic city at the only key pass that stretches for countless kilometers, it is impossible for the barbarians to forcefully cross the mountains.
But they did show up, and launched a "tide of beasts" to intercept and kill a group of guys who didn't look like professional hunters, but more like some guys from a secret organization.
Although Ren didn't figure out why they did this, nor did he know how these savages crossed the mountains and ridges.
But he knew very well that being able to fight to the death regardless of life must be driven by huge interests.
This trouble will definitely not be small.
Now everyone is dead except this chick.
Whether it is the survivors on the barbarian side or the people of the mysterious organization, they will definitely target her.
The barbarians do not understand the language, so it is extremely unlikely that they can enter the city.
Then, the only possibility is the wave of "mysterious people" intercepted and killed by the barbarians.
"Is it possible that as soon as we parted ways, we lost the person?"
Renn looked at the "caterpillar" on his shoulder and was making a decision in his mind.
The favor that the lady gave him was far from worth putting himself in danger.
At this time, the barbarian girl seemed to have discovered something, and her intuition was terrifying.
She looked at Ren's behavior as he walked quickly through the streets, and suddenly understood something, stopped making trouble, and lay quietly on his shoulder.
She knew very well that it was definitely not her companions who were tracking them in this city, but the group of invaders who had stolen the tribe's sacred artifacts!
... .
"Before, there were experts like Uncle Sam around, and those guys didn't dare to get too close. But they could accurately grasp my position... The most likely possibility is that this barbarian girl has been left with a magic mark. stuff."
Renn's professional tracking skills allowed him to instantly analyze some of the opponent's methods of locking them.
The other party is very professional and definitely has a lot of background.
Therefore, he decisively decided to abandon this "trouble"!
But he always felt that it was not appropriate to lose the "goods" entrusted by the lady in a sudden change of attitude.
Thinking about it, he happened to see a shop sign on the street and muttered: "I can only help you one last time... Whether you can escape or not depends on your own life!"
This "City of Glory" is a holy land for magicians, and the most indispensable thing is magic shops. In this kind of high-end store, as long as you have money, you can easily buy scrolls or potions that remove magic marks!
... .
Not long after,
The three "stalkers" discovered by Renn all came to the door of the shop.
After waiting for a while and no one came out, the guy dressed as a plumber suddenly changed his expression: "No!"
The three of them didn't care about hiding their whereabouts and rushed directly into the magic shop.
The shop with a dazzling array of magic tools in the window was empty except for one clerk. This fat woman wearing a magic robe looks like a magic apprentice.
The plumber asked urgently: "Where are the two people who came in just now?"
Hearing the questioning tone, the arrogant magician apprentice had no intention of paying attention to these rash guys, and asked lazily: "Sir, what can I do for you?"
The plumber seemed to be very familiar with the unspoken rules of the city. He did not hesitate to take out twice the gold coins and put them on the counter, and asked again: "Where were those two people just now?"
At this time, the fat magician apprentice said slowly: "A minute ago, the gentleman wearing the crow mask bought an 'Advanced Expelling Potion' and a 'Three Ring Purification Scroll' from me."
The plumber asked urgently: "What then?"
Seeing the sloth-like behavior of the fat woman, he suddenly twitched his eyelids and threw out two more gold coins.
At this time, the fat apprentice pointed to the animal skin clothes and ropes hidden in the corner, and said: "Then Mr. Crow stripped the girl next to him who looked like a barbarian, and carried out One mark dispel.”
The plumber threw two more gold coins and asked again: "What next?"
The magic apprentice said the last sentence very neatly, pointing to a window in the attic: "Then, they climbed through the window and left."
"damn it!"
The plumber yelled angrily: "Notify the 'Scavenger' that the target is lost!"
