Su Lie looked slowly towards the figure beside him.
It turned out to be a young woman.
He looks to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old.
She had dyed blue hair and cut it very short, almost like a man's.
The skin color is slightly darker than wheat color.
The eyeshadow and lips were painted blue to match her hair color.
She wore a short coat on her upper body with a low enough neckline and a short hem.
This allows people to see her good figure at a glance.
The lower body is a pair of pants that only reach the hips.
The slender legs are wearing short boots and black stockings that reach the thighs.
no doubt.
In a bar, in the ambiguous atmosphere created by lights and smoke, and under the stimulation of alcohol.
Such a woman is really powerful.
At this time, many men in the bar were looking back and forth at this woman.
At this moment, the woman even boldly stretched out her hand.
Reach out your hand to some indescribable place.
But before it could succeed, it was caught by Su Lie.
Su Lie smiled and said, "Or I'll buy you a drink, as long as you don't disturb me."
The woman's face changed, and then she snorted, "Boring!"
She pulled her hand away and left the bar.
Soon cheers broke out in the bar.
The woman was carried away on the shoulders of a burly man.
As for where they went, Su Lie was not interested.
Snapped.
A glass slammed onto the bar, and the suspicious blue liquid inside splashed onto the table.
Su Lie looked up at the bartender.
The bartender deadpanned, "This is our strongest drink."
"Don't say I didn't warn you."
"After drinking this cup, you might get ripped off without even knowing it."
"So before that, please pay your bill first."
Su Lie chuckled and pushed the pass over.
The bartender picked it up and swiped it on the payment machine next to him, then returned it to Su Lie.
Su Lie put it in his pocket before picking up the glass of wine.
Drink it all in one gulp.
Finally, he exhaled a breath of alcohol.
"It's really awesome." He smiled.
Looking at Su Lie's still clear eyes, the bartender unconsciously showed some respect when he looked at Su Lie again.
"Have you guys ever had anything interesting happen in the past few days?"
Su Lie took out a golden bean from his pocket and threw it on the bar.
The bartender's eyes suddenly lit up as he wiped the wine glass.
He quietly swept the golden bean into his pocket, and then a smile appeared on his face.
"That depends on what you think is interesting."
Su Lie sat at the bar for a while and heard a lot of news from the bartender.
Unfortunately, none of them were what he wanted.
Just as he was about to leave, the laboratory workers passed by Su Lie.
"Hurry up and settle the bill, we still have to go shopping."
"Yes, what Manager Zhang wants is not ordinary things. I wonder if there is anything for sale in this place that can't even be called a small fortress."
"Luckily, Manager Zhang is accompanying Mr. Yuan Shu, otherwise how could we come out and have a few drinks here?"
"It turns out that Mr. Yuan's name is Yuan Shu, but this name is quite strange."
As they talked, they went to the bar to pay the bill, completely unaware that an unkempt man sitting next to them was shaking all over because of what they said.
... ... ... .
Castle of Glory.
It's already evening.
Standing on the rooftop of the municipal building, Tianyang looked down and saw only a vast sea of light.
At first glance, Wanjia
lights.
This kind of grand spectacle can only be seen in the Castle of Glory.
Holding the fence, Tianyang uttered two words softly: "It's great."
yes.
The only places where such a peaceful scene can still be seen now are the Glorious Castle and a few other fortresses.
Just today, several more fortresses have fallen. Faced with this situation, even if the 'Golden Court' wants to turn the tide, it feels powerless.
Tianyang has been in Glory Castle for two days.
He plans to return to Sunhold tomorrow.
As for Xun and others, it is much safer in Glory Castle than in Fiery Sun Castle.
At this moment, Tianyang suddenly felt something.
He looked towards the entrance to the rooftop, which had turned into a red tent at some point.
But this tent is not real enough, it is very unreal, as if it is a shadow projected from a long distance.
Someone came out from the door of the tent.
Undead Merchant!
The old man had one hand behind his back and the other holding a pipe.
He walked out with his back slightly bent.
His silhouette is the same as the red tent.
Somewhat unreal, not real enough.
Tianyang's heart tightened.
Since the last meeting in the Reverse Realm, with the help of this old man, the expeditionary force was able to leave the Reverse Realm ahead of schedule.
And Lin Jianping was able to wake up with the help of his "doll".
Tianyang knew that this old man was hiding much deeper than he had imagined.
to date.
No one knows the origin of the 'Undead Merchant'.
I don't know when he appeared.
But I know that his deeds have been passed down for a long time.
If it's the same person from beginning to end.
Then this old man has lived for hundreds of years.
Even a dog would be extraordinary if it lived for hundreds of years.
What’s more, this is an old man who possesses many magical things.
After adjusting his breathing, Tianyang walked over.
He vaguely guessed the old man's intention.
"Good evening, old sir." Tianyang took the initiative to greet.
The old man blew out an illusory smoke ring and snorted, "You actually came to the Glory Castle. Aren't you worried about your own castle?"
Without waiting for Tianyang to answer, the old man spoke himself.
"You really don't have to worry. Although the 'Black King' behind your fortress is dead, his influence is still there."
"This 'power' will continue for some time."
"Affected by this residual power, the summons issued by the simulated 'Black King' have no effect on the black people behind your Krav Gate."
"They will not respond until the power of the previous generation's 'Black King' is completely dissipated."
Tianyang looked at the old man with some surprise.
"Old man, are you sure?"
The old man said angrily, "Nonsense, there is no need for me to lie to a little kid."
"But the dark folks inside the gate won't do anything to your fortress."
"But it's hard to say what's happening outside the gate. Now many black people in the Clave Gate have escaped. You should know about this, right?"
Tianyang nodded.
The old man blew out another smoke ring: "When they spread in large numbers, one day, they will affect your fortress."
"Let's not talk about this for now."
"You should still remember that you owe me a debt, right?"
Tianyang smiled and said, "As I recall, the old man wanted me to pay him back?"
"That's right." The old man took down his pipe, "It's time."
"yes."
Tian Yang said in a deep voice: "Then please tell me, old man, what I need to pay."
"But we had an agreement back then. I won't do anything that goes against my conscience."
The old man chuckled and said, "Although I am old, my memory is still good."
"Don't worry, I'll remember
It is very clear.”
"The reward I want is simple and difficult at the same time."
After a pause, the old man said, "I want a twilight slab."
Dusk Slate
Tianyang didn't expect that this was what the old man wanted.
This might be a very difficult thing for others.
But for him, it was just a matter of going back to the cracks.
In the crack inside, Tianyang has collected more than one piece of Dusk Slate.
Of course, Tianyang still looked embarrassed on the surface.
"The Dusk Slate, this is no ordinary thing."
The old man tapped his pipe and said, "Nonsense, if it were simple, I wouldn't need to look for you."
Tian Yang sighed and said, "I can try, but I'm afraid I won't be able to get it out in a short time."
"It's okay, I can wait."
The old man said, "But try to be quick, otherwise, there will be no point."
Without giving Tianyang a chance to ask further questions, the old man finished speaking and walked into the tent with his back turned.
The red tent suddenly disappeared, and the gate to the rooftop reappeared, as if Tianyang had just had a dream.
Of course Tianyang knew that it was not a dream.
"What does the Undead Merchant want the Dusk Slate for?"
"Is he also exploring the secrets of the old universe?"
Tianyang shook his head. There were too few clues and he couldn't figure out the reason.
But it was decided to give the old man a piece of dusk slate.
It just needs to be postponed for a while to prevent the old man from knowing that he has the Dusk Slate in his hand.
And more than one piece.
... ... ... .
Somewhere in Central China.
There are many hideous and terrifying stone sculptures standing here.
These statues are neither beasts nor gods.
They seemed to come from a nightmare, full of twisted and evil looks.
If you are someone who has been in and out of the world of rebellion for many years, you will know that these statues are black people.
only.
These black people have turned into stone.
Right in the middle of the stone sculptures, there is a red pointed tent.
The wind was howling, and the tent seemed like it would fly away at any time.
There was an old man making a fire in front of the tent, and the flames made the statues of black people nearby look even more terrifying.
The old man was cooking food on the fire when a line of text appeared on the electronic board next to him.
'Dear Chronicler, do you care that he wants a twilight slate?'
'This is too good for him!'
"You said he had at least three Twilight Tablets."
'Why not more?'
Although the old man didn't look at the electronic board, he seemed to know what was written on it.
He chuckled and said, "I have been able to live this long, to survive in the vast old universe of the upper gods, and to survive until now."
"On what?"
"Knowledge? Experience? Power?"
"neither."
"What I rely on is 'not being greedy' and 'knowing when to stop'."
"I only want one piece. Even though he will wonder what I want the Dusk Slate for, he will still give it to me in the end."
"If I ask for all of it, it will provoke his hostility, and in the end I might not get any of it."
The text on the electronic board changed: So that's it.
'Your wisdom is truly admirable.'
'But you only need one.'
'Is a slab of stone enough for you?'
"You are only one stone slab away from completing the migration ritual?"
'Then why didn't you ask that guy for it earlier?'
"Could it be that now is the right time?"
Suddenly, the electronic screen crackled with several sounds and several lines appeared on it.
