He quickened his pace while cursing the damn weather. At this time, the bright flame in the fireplace in the home is especially attractive. Knife was ready to add a black forest firewood to the stove. One piece of wood from the Black Forest can heat up the whole house, and it is so fire-resistant that it can burn all night. If it wasn't for a newcomer like Qianye, he wouldn't be able to use the firewood from the Black Forest.
Xiaodao soon came to his residence, as soon as he entered the door, he was greeted by warmth and light, the beautiful and well-behaved woman at home was sitting in the living room, preparing refreshments. At this time, she hadn't slept yet, and Xiaodao felt a warm feeling in his heart.
When he walked into the living room, he was taken aback suddenly, there was actually a person sitting in the living room, a man!
In an instant, anger filled his chest, and with a flick of his right hand, a thin and sharp handleless blade immediately appeared in his hand. This blade is the origin of his nickname, and has cut the throats of many people.
Hearing footsteps, the man in the living room turned around calmly. The moment he saw his face clearly, Xiao Dao couldn't help shaking his hand, and the blade fell to the ground. But he didn't realize it, and said dryly, "It's you?"
It was Qianye who was sitting in the living room. After seeing Qianye's divine power in instantly killing a large group of beasts the night before, Xiaodao completely died of fighting Qianye. At this moment, Qianye suddenly appeared in his home, which immediately reminded him of Qianye's warning that day.
At this moment, Xiaodao has no doubts in his heart, only bitterness, "What he said is actually true."
Qianye looked at the blade that fell on the ground, and said, "Your knife fell."
Xiaodao smiled bitterly and said, "Is there any difference between having it and not having it?"
After saying that, Xiaodao sat down at the table, looked at Qianye, and said, "Something is coming towards me, let her go. I snatched her back back then, and I don't know anything about it."
Qianye smiled faintly, and said: "Playing heroism in front of me won't work. It's also impossible for me to let her spread the news outside. Not knowing who did it is the best deterrent."
Xiao Dao turned pale, and said, "Iron Bear will not let you go."
Qianye calmly said: "There is something wrong with you, I still have to go find him."
Xiao Dao was startled and said, "You! You know everything about that night?"
Qianye smiled, "What do you think?"
Xiaodao hugged his head and said, "We didn't intend to kill you, but, we just wanted to test you."
"Using ferocious beasts and native races? It's a good way to test, and if the test is successful, you won't have to do it, right?"
"No, of course not. We have assessed your combat power. Such a temptation will at most make you feel difficult, and will not be fatal."
"Why do you want to test me?"
"We want you to make enemies with the original race and attract their attention. In that case, you will have to rely on our support to continue to gain a foothold. In addition, Iron Bear also wants you to be able to take root in that place, blocking the sea and Threat across the river." Knife looked honest.
"What's in the sea and across the river?"
"There will be fog there, a very special kind of fog, if you see it, you will understand. There is a strange creature in the fog. No one has ever seen what it looks like, but as long as you are surrounded by that strange fog No one has ever come out alive. And when the fog rises, high-level ferocious beasts often appear, not the high-level monsters like last night, but really high-level big guys. Only Iron Bear can fight in the town, and he We also need to rely on the fire support from the town to force those beasts back."
Qianye nodded, feeling a little dignified in his heart. Regarding the strength of Iron Bear, Qianye knew it well, even if it was placed in the elite army of the empire, it was still a mighty fighter. In a place like the neutral land, anyone who can stand alone has no fuel-efficient lamps.
Qianye leaned back and said, "It's almost time. Tell me now, is there any reason for me not to kill you?"
The woman next to him wanted to say something, but Xiaodao gave her a fierce look and stared back. He bowed his head and thought for a moment, then said: "We will never make things difficult for you in the future. In addition, the monthly tax amount can be halved. It really can't be lowered. Also, you can get a fair price for any transactions in the town. Maybe you can get more from Iron Bear, but there's only so much I can do."
After saying this, Xiao Dao closed his eyes and said, "I know these conditions are nothing at all, let's do it."
But what he waited for was not a slap in the throat, but an answer that surprised him: "Deal."
"Ah, that's impossible!" Xiaodao jumped up.
Qianye got up, reached out and patted the woman on the shoulder, and said, "She has a child in her belly, that's why you're still alive."
Surprised and delighted, Xiaodao hugged the woman tightly. Seeing that Qianye was about to leave, he hurriedly shouted: "See Tiexiong, let him think about my sister more, otherwise he will be stupid!"
Qianye smiled, noncommittal, pushed the door and left.
A moment later, Qianye stood in the main house of the big house in the middle of the town, and closed the door with his backhand, blocking the biting cold wind, and also blocked the guards who had fallen to the ground outside.
In front of Qianye, Tie Xiong was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, struggling to get up from the ground, glaring at Qianye, his eyes were full of hatred. With a roar, he pounced on him again, all the muscles in his body tensed, like water snakes swimming under his skin.
When he rushed in front of Qianye, he swung his fist directly, and when he punched, there was a crackling sound in the air, and ripples like umbrellas appeared around the front of the fist, hitting Qianye's face directly.
However, Qianye raised Dongyue, swiped the hilt of the sword, and twisted the iron bear with a fist. Then, the heavy sword spun around, and the blade with the sheath touched the iron bear's abdomen, causing him to bend down immediately. Dongyue spun again, and slapped him on the shoulder again, causing Tie Xiong to spurt a mouthful of blood, his knees softened, and he knelt on the ground.
This time Iron Bear had no strength to fight again, and it was very difficult to even raise his head. But his eyes were still rebellious, he stared at Qianye, gritted his teeth and said, "The wolf king will not let you go!"
Qianye knelt down in front of him, and said indifferently, "Don't you think that I am more useful than you? Then tell me, why does the Wolf King use you instead of me?"
Tie Xiong's face suddenly turned ugly. After all, he also snatched this position from the original mayor a few years ago. The previous mayor had been thrown into the East China Sea by him long ago, with no bones left. It is only natural for Qianye to use the same means to deal with him now. In such a remote and desolate place, the Wolf King is too lazy to care about trivial matters such as who is the mayor, as long as he pays taxes on time.
"You're just a newcomer..." Tie Xiong choked out a sentence for a long time.
Qianye remained calm and said, "As long as I kill the people who came earlier than me, such as you, I will become an old man. It's that simple."
Iron Bear finally lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "Do it. After killing me, remember to put those people outside in the house, otherwise they will freeze to death."
"Why didn't I see that you still love your subordinates so much? Do you think that people who can come to this kind of place will accept your tricks?" Qianye asked expressionlessly.
Iron Bear sighed, and said: "There is no me here, and you. But if one day you leave and these guards are gone, then this town will be over. No one can stop those native bastards."
"Do you have anything to tell Sister Xiaodao?"
Tie Xiong was suddenly furious, and he didn't know where the strength came from. He stood up with a roar, and shouted: "If you dare to touch a hair of her, I will tear you!"
But he only took two steps forward before falling to the ground again.
Only then did Qianye say: "Xiao Dao asked me to tell you this sentence."
Tie Xiong is not stupid, he suddenly understood, and the aura of death gradually subsided, sighed: "Indeed, if you don't beat me down, it's useless for you to say that. Well, let's talk, boy, let me let you go!" What should I do? It’s okay to work for you, but you have to promise me that if one day I die, you have to take care of my women and children.”
"I don't need manpower for the time being. However, I want information about the maelstrom, and those two things from the maelstrom. I need more detailed information."
Tie Xiong asked in shock: "You want to go to the maelstrom?"
Qianye immediately caught the key information and asked, "So, can you go to the maelstrom from a neutral place?"
Tie Xiong nodded and said proudly: "To be exact, only the neutral land has fixed passages leading to the maelstrom. Other places, even the Empire and Eternal Night, can only go to the maelstrom through the passages opened from time to time .”
Qianye was slightly surprised, and said: "Since this is the case, why don't the human race and the dark race come to grab it? The neutral land can withstand the siege of the two camps?"
Tie Xiong said proudly: "Want to snatch it? How can it be so easy! We have killed Yong Ye and the empire's expedition fleet not once or twice. Every time this happens, the neutral land is unanimously open. In addition, you think it is only us Are you fighting alone? Hundreds of small countries, large and small, are secretly supporting us."
"What else?" Qianye asked.
With the value of the maelstrom, in order to determine the quota, the two camps can fight a battle without falling. If there is such a stable channel, then no matter the human race king or the dark lord will take action, no matter how you say it, they must grab some shares and never let the neutral land monopolize the benefits.
Tie Xiong also knew a lot. When asked by Qianyeyi, he suddenly said a little embarrassedly: "The passage in the neutral place is actually not very useful. Although that passage has always existed, it is very unstable. I heard that it fluctuates. When it is violent, even the Marquis, the general of the gods, can't resist it, and will fall into the passage. Therefore, every year we gather a group of death row prisoners and throw them into the passage to see if any lucky guy can come back alive. Throwing them into the passage over the years There are tens of thousands of people, but there are no more than twenty people who survived."
This is reasonable. It turns out that this passage in the neutral land is a road to death. No wonder the two camps are not interested.
"You continue to help me collect relevant information, the more detailed the better. In addition, I also want information about the original race, the more the better."
Tie Xiong agreed, and then asked tentatively, "Are you... wanting to do something big?"
Qianye smiled and shook his head, "I just don't want someone to come and fight with me."
Iron Bear understood somewhat, but also did not understand. But Qianye had already turned around and left.
Seeing Qianye's figure go away, Tie Xiong immediately called for someone to move all the guards in the courtyard into a warm room. When everything was done, it was past midnight, and a gust of cold wind blew in, causing Tie Xiong to shiver suddenly, feeling the chill penetrating to the marrow of his bones.
He suddenly remembered that Qianye was only wearing single clothes, but he could move freely in such a cold night, so his strength...
Thinking of this, Tie Xiong couldn't help shivering again.
