"—The devil is back?"
"—Yes, but you must hide the things in your house! Take away the sloughed skin! That guy robs everything!"
"—he hasn't been here for a year... I really didn't expect..."
"—, take the children away too, don't scare the children!"
This is a conversation between two adult female blood-crowned rattlesnakes on the grasslands south of Mundama City.
Yes, the devil they were most afraid of who swept the main prairie is finally back!
The demonic beasts and demi-humans in the main prairie felt the fear of being dominated by demons and the shame that their hometown could not keep their family displaced!
I still remember that two years ago, the devil also came in autumn. He was young, he looked like an ordinary human male, he looked like a soft persimmon, and the prairie wolves even attacked him without knowing how to live... But now that Where is a coyote? They were all beaten down by this human being, and now they dare not attack humans again.
However, the monsters on the grassland are upright, and although they don't like cruel and cunning prairie wolves, they won't laugh at them because of this - because this human being is really terrible! He is not human at all! The place he passed was barren, not only that, but also rumored that he had a big black pocket with a devil's mouth painted on it, blue-faced fangs and two long horns, this human devil always put something into his pocket As soon as you put it down - the thing is gone.
And the original owner of that thing, that is, the poor monster, he will never see the wealth he finally saved in his life, it may be a shiny gold coin, or it may be two beautiful blue stones.
The female blood-crowned rattlesnake even saw the human snatch away a blue flower that a male blue pavilion was going to use for courtship, and then the blue pavilion could not catch a girl again... The cruelty of this method made her like this. The natural enemies of the blue pavilion bird are trembling! Could it be a human being to do such a thing? ! !
The whole prairie, the woods and even the small hills came alive, and all the monsters—mainly middle and high-level monsters, who had high IQs and were better at communicating with each other—were talking about one thing: there is a human who lives in his heart. The most terrifying demon, he does all kinds of evil and looting. He always talks about the "Three Lights" spell in his mouth. Only the Dark Lord can subdue him for a person like him.
The high-level Warcraft has a long heritage. They know that there was a person like the Demon King in the world a long time ago, and the Demon King has appeared again in the past few decades. The Demon King is the most evil and dark existence in the world.
So the monsters in the valley in the woods on the grassland gave this human a name: the friend of the devil.
_(:зゝ∠)_ seems to be fine from a certain point of view.
…
The mornings in the city of Montama are always busy. The city gates opened as soon as it was bright, and the caravan knights and commoners were walking on different roads, but they still had to squeeze together when they passed the city gate. The barking of livestock, the sound of people talking, the occasional foul language, and the occasional whiplash.
This is somewhat similar to Wasteland City. Both are free and independent cities, but they are also backed by powerful countries. Wasteland City is the Kingdom of Snow Blades, while Mondama City is backed by the Golden Flag Empire. But the two cities look completely different. The city walls of Wasteland City are quaint, and there is always a desolate and primitive feeling in the city, while the city walls of Mondama City are very smooth and flat white bricks, with huge hanging on it. The flag of Montama City, the city is busy but orderly, especially on the main road where the two city gates in the north and south meet, there are bustling pedestrians and trees on both sides of the road.
It's like the difference between a barbarian land and a civilized city.
The trafficking of slaves in the wasteland city is very common, and it is put together with the market for selling monsters, as if there is no difference between people and monsters. On the other hand, there is no market for people to buy and sell in the city of Montdama. The people here seem to be very civilized.
"But the nobles still have slaves, and they still have the power to kill slaves. The army also has war slaves, red light districts... Well, anyway, there are still people buying and selling places where children can't go. Lance, you have to be more careful here. ." Xu Jun let Lance dismount, afraid that the child would fall and even helped him, he has been in the play for the past few days, he has forgotten that the child is a frost dragon, and he always treats him as a baby.
Lance pursed his lips and was very happy: "Thank you Dad, I can come down by myself."
What a sweet boy! Xu Jun couldn't help rubbing the little boy's white-haired head, and the hair was so fluffy that it was easy to touch~(≧▽≦)/~.
↑ The above scene has been staged countless times in the past few days, and now the two onlookers, Mantou and Jace, are not surprised.
Because Xu Jun and Lance always acted on the filial piety of fathers and sons, Jace and Mantou also saw their feelings and tacit understanding when onlookers, and now they both looked at each other: Ah, here we go again.
Mantou said his horse language to Jace: "It's so happy to have a child."
He looked at Lance obediently letting Xu Jun rub his hair: "It's good, I want such a good child too =v="
Jess: "==Then you have to pick up a poor little bastard who is sure to have no father or mother."
It's still one person, two human-shaped orcs (the dragons can barely be regarded as orcs), and a real monster, just waiting in line to enter the city. There were not many civilians and adventurers this morning, but the knights were entering the city in groups, probably because they had returned from patrolling. Every autumn, the knights also routinely go out to patrol the city, but only for appearance. Seeing that the ranks of civilian adventurers and merchants kept advancing, the knights with their horses could not squeeze into the city gate.
The civilian merchants snickered secretly, and Xu Jun heard what someone said: "What about the knight master." "God won't let them enter the city." Words.
Then the soldiers at the gate of the city in front of the city asked for a change of route, widening the road for the knights and narrowing the road for the commoners.
The common people present: "..."
At this time, more experienced old adventurers and old businessmen said: "Hey, sure enough, what are you looking at? This is normal, understand?"
"They (pointing to the top) are the same as the old men, what are we?"
Xu Jun held Lance's hand. The child's hand was cold and cold. After all, he was a giant frost dragon, and his natural blood seemed to be cold. Lance was very well-behaved and didn't speak in the crowd. Fortunately, he didn't speak. If he had asked the question like "Why did the knight go first?" like the other children, Xu Jun really didn't know how to answer.
Yes, why did the knight go first
Adults don't ask such questions, they just laugh, but at the same time they don't answer.
I don't even know how to explain this to the kids.
So Xu Jun said something else to distract Lance and Mantou from the same age: "In front of you is the city of Mondama, do you know what is in the city of Mondama? Here is the export from the Golden Flag Empire. The best candy ever, you kids love it."
Lance was really happy, and Mantou licked his lips: "Is there any golden fructose?"
For Lance, the best sweets he has ever eaten are golden fructose.
After all, the Frost Dragons are carnivorous beasts, and they are satisfied by eating only meat. They are usually lazy, and living in extremely cold regions means that they can usually eat very little, and even there are only so many kinds of prey. There are also no plants to try. The only plants in the place where they live are seagrass on the bottom of the sea. That stuff is inedible and disgusting.
The vegetable soup Xu Jun gave Lance last time was also the second time in his life that he ate "plants". The first time he ate the herbal medicine that he had been fed by the patriarch because of illness, it was bitter and fishy, and Lance almost vomited. .
But the vegetable soup Xu Jun gave him was delicious! Fresh and fragrant! Lance likes to pick the cabbage in it the most! Xu Jun also cooked him a barbecue. Green peppers and onions were sandwiched between the sizzling and oily pieces of meat. The meat was not greasy at all. He could eat two whole deer by himself!
- Oh of course, if it wasn't for Xu Jun's method of cooking, he could eat twenty bucks without burping.
—The bucks, wild goats and wild rabbits in the south of Mundama City have also been unlucky these days.
Lance thought of a lot of delicious things from golden fructose, and a different look appeared on his originally dull face: "Is there anything better than golden fructose?"
Xu Jun looked at him and thought of the friends who were in the orphanage at that time. At that time, they were always fighting, and the relationship was not good. I had a candy and he was going to grab it. Now I know that it was because I couldn't eat it. They dare not ask the dean to buy snacks, after all, they are not "parents".
When he looked at Lance again, his face was a little kind: "Well, it's much more delicious than golden fructose. I'll buy it for you in the city."
Mantou gently kicked him, and he quickly added: "Buy it for Mantou too."
So only poor Jace was forgotten again →_→
The middle-aged businessman next to him interjected: "Don't think about it, buddy, there is no sugar seller in the city. The old John who did this died of black disease. Now it's a mess."
Xu Jun frowned: "... black disease?"
The fat businessman in front of him also turned around when he heard the gossip, wiped his sweat with a small handkerchief and asked, "Is this news true? Old John is dead? Isn't he only fifty?"
The businessman who spoke at the beginning was a thin man with a sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, and he stood together with a fat man who wiped his sweat with a small handkerchief: "That's not it, you're very young, if you get a disease, say it's gone, you have heard of that black disease. No?"
"What can I do, he is dead, who will collect my sugar cane?"
They still wanted to talk, but when they reached the city gate, the guards glared at each other, and the two merchants turned into quails, shrugging their shoulders and putting their arms around them, afraid to speak. Xu Junzheng felt that the little guards who were guarding the city were also very face-to-face.
These little guards looked listless, not as slick as the old guards who guarded the gates.
All of this, plus the "black disease" that the merchants called, made Xu Jun feel very unknown, and he finally entered the city.
Mondama City was originally a very prosperous and orderly city. Although there are slums, they are well managed. The people here are used to wearing fine linen clothes. The clothes of young people are especially beautiful, and they are dyed in various colors. , standing on the street and looking at it is a very beautiful scenery. Children run in the streets and alleys, all wearing bright little clothes, laughing and making noises.
But now, half of the color in the city has turned gray and black, people can't speak loudly, and occasionally a few children walk on the street with their heads bowed, their clothes are no longer glamorous, they are all replaced by Black and white grey. White flower baskets are hung on the roofs of many households, which is a unique way of mourning here.
When he just passed the crowded city gate, Xu Jun was crowded and couldn't see the scene inside. His height of 1.78 meters was not very tall in this world. Now that he walked into the city, he still had a smile on his face, but the smile in his eyes was gone.
how so-? ! ! !
Is there actually a funeral for half of the people in Montdama City? !
Is it because of that "black disease"? or something else? ! What exactly caused the "black disease"? Don't say it's caused by changing seasons, people in this world can be tough!
Jace looked up at the sky and frowned slightly, sniffing his nose. "There's something in the clouds."
Strange to say, the sun was out in the morning and it was unpleasant, and now it was cloudy and it was about to rain.
Xu Jun is a brave man, not a magician. He is very sensitive to murderous aura, but his sense of elements is still a little worse, but he noticed Jace's expression and knew that this matter should be serious: "Can you tell what it is?"
Jess shook his head: "Hidden in the clouds, I can only feel the darkness at the moment... Xu Jun, how did you feel when you fought against the Dark Lord?"
Xu Jun was shocked, but how could the city of Mondama hoard so many dark elements? This is just an ordinary human city!
He thought about it, but he still had to figure out what Jace was talking about in the cloud: "Go to the herbal shop first."
Since he "killed" the Demon King, the dark element seems to have been abnormal. The tree of life of the moonlight elves and the holy light elves were both disturbed, and the concentration of dark elements in the air was indeed higher than before, but if it was only higher, Xu Jun would not care much. Since the birth of the demon king, demons have also climbed a lot. Out of the abyss, the dark elements and dark energy in this world have always been abnormal.
—What is hidden in the cloud
- And why is it hiding in the cloud
… If the Demon King is still around, he still has someone to ask _(:зゝ∠)_
