Zhuo Yun sighed and said: "Let's go, Sunset City is not far ahead. This is the only big city in the Sunset Empire that we have never been to. I hope the princess will be there. It has been more than two years. If you don't Rescue the princess, once the elf blood is exhausted, I'm afraid... "
Dumb walked to Zhuo Yun's side, and said firmly: "Sister, don't worry, we will be able to rescue Princess Xing'er."
A group of four people walked along the main road towards Sunset City in the west, where, what kind of challenges would be waiting for them
Sunset City, the capital of the Sunset Empire, was named for being the closest to the place where the sun sets. It is located in the westernmost part of the Tianyuan Continent and is also the largest city in the Sunset Empire. On the top of the 50-meter-high city, energetic soldiers are constantly patrolling back and forth. The wide city gate is enough for 20 people to pass through in parallel. The size of the dark city. When the suspension bridge was lowered, there was an endless stream of pedestrians and carriages passing by, creating a thriving and lively scene.
There are dozens of soldiers guarding the gate of Sunset City. Their eyes are constantly scanning the passers-by. Anyone who looks suspicious will definitely go up and check.
Duan touched the elf bracelet in his arms, but the bracelet didn't respond. He couldn't help frowning, and whispered to the rock beside him, "Brother, there don't seem to be elves in Sunset City!"
Rock was taken aback, and said, "Didn't it respond?" Duan nodded lightly.
Rock thought for a while, and said: "This city looks very big, maybe it's because the scope of the Elven Bracelet's inquiry can't reach, let's go in and have a look, this is the last big city of the Sunset Empire. The judgment of Brother Moonshen Up to now, we have confirmed 90% of the elves. It is almost certain that the dark forces of the Sunset Empire bribed the Thieves Union to capture the elves. Since this is the case, they have no reason not to keep Her Royal Highness in the Sunset Empire. Sunset City is the most likely place. We made a detour all the way to the west, and all the big cities were not missed. I believe that Her Royal Highness must be here."
Zhuo Yundao: "Yanyan is right. Let's go to the city first. We have traveled all over the big cities of the Sunset Empire. If there is still no trace of Her Royal Highness, it will be difficult to find. Is the sky going to destroy my elves?" A look of worry was revealed on her face, she knew very well the importance of the elf king's bloodline, which was related to the future fate of the entire elf clan.
Dumb comforted: "Sister, don't worry, we will definitely be able to rescue the princess, let's go to the city and have a look." While talking, the four of them walked towards the city gate.
When they walked to the city gate, the guards at the gate immediately looked at the four of them. Although the four of them were all dressed in civilian clothes, the unintentional aura of Duan and Brother Rock still caught the attention of these soldiers. "Stop." The leader called to stop the four of them.
The four of them trembled, Yan Yan smiled and said, "Brother Soldier, what can you do?" In order to avoid trouble, the weapons of him and Yan Li were kept in the blood of the dragon by Dumb, so he was not worried about these Inspection of soldiers.
The soldier looked the rock up and down a few times, and said, "Where did you come from? What are you doing in the capital?"
Rock said: "We came from the countryside. We came to the capital to see if there are any opportunities to make money. We just rely on our strength to earn a living."
The soldier snorted suspiciously, and said, "Brothers, search for me to see if there is anything suspicious about them."
Although Brother Rock is not afraid of being searched, how can Dumb and Zhuo Yun be searched? He carried the Pluto sword on his chest, and Zhuo Yun's identity as an elf was unknown.
Seven or eight soldiers walked towards the four of them, Yan Yan hurriedly took out a few silver coins from his pocket, stuffed them into the hands of the soldier leader, and said in a low voice: "Brother, buy some wine for the brothers, some of us Ladies, I’m afraid it’s inconvenient to search you. Look, if you can take care of it, don’t search it.” The soldier weighed the silver coins in his hand, raised his hand to stop his soldiers, smiled, nodded and said: “Okay, I’ll see you There's nothing suspicious about it, so let's go in because of your kindness."
Rock was overjoyed, and the four hurried into the city. Yan Li whispered to Yan Yan: "Brother, why are the guards in Sunset City so tight? There was no inspection like this in other cities."
Rock said: "After all, this is the capital of the Sunset Empire. It is normal to have strict inspections. Okay, let's find a place to stay. We must be more cautious. We have been approached by the Assassin's Guild a few times before. Our whereabouts are not secret, we should try our best to cause as little trouble as possible. Eh? Dumb, what's wrong with you?"
Dui suddenly stood motionless on the spot, pressing his hands on his chest, with a look of astonishment on his face. Zhuo Yun seemed to have sensed something, and leaned close to Ah-Dai, and whispered, "Did the bracelet reflect it?" Ah-Dai nodded, took the four of them to a remote corner, and took the Elf Bracelet from his arms. When he took it out, the elf bracelet shone with a strange look, and the whole body was green, which was a signal that there were elves nearby.
Yan Li said happily: "Great, there is a response, which means that the Elf Princess is not far away, and now we will find it easier."
A gleam of joy flashed in Zhuo Yun's eyes, but the joy was fleeting. He frowned and said, "It is almost certain that Her Royal Highness is in Sunset City, but if my guess is right, because of the blood of the Elf King on the princess, the princess' The reaction of the fairy bracelet is too strong, which makes it impossible for us to find the exact position of the princess by virtue of its sensing strength. Allowed, and, once we are discovered, I am afraid that we will be unable to move an inch in Sunset City, let alone rescue the princess."
The four of them suddenly fell into silence, and after thinking for a long time, no one had any good solution. Zhuo Yun sighed: "It's a pity that I don't have the ability to sense the blood of the Elf King. It would be great if Her Majesty the Queen came in person. With Her Majesty's all-powerful ability, I will definitely be able to find the princess. If it doesn't work, let's go back to our elf clan as soon as possible." Go, invite Her Majesty the Queen."
Dumb's heart moved, and he remembered the scroll that the Elf Queen gave him back then, and hurriedly said: "Sister, I have a way to summon Her Majesty the Queen to Sunset City." At that moment, he took out the scroll that the Queen gave him before from the blood of the dragon , and told the three of them what had happened. Zhuo Yun was overjoyed after hearing this, "Great, let's call Her Majesty the Queen now, with her power, she will definitely be able to locate the princess, and it will be much easier for us to attack."
Yan Yan grabbed Duan who was about to open the scroll, and said: "Don't worry, let's find a place to stay. We don't know what will happen when this scroll is opened. It would be bad if people in Sunset City found out. Moreover, since Her Majesty the Queen can only be summoned for two hours, we must seize the two hours so as to rescue Her Majesty the Princess."
Zhuo Yun's eyes showed approval, he sighed, and said: "I'm too impulsive, then let's go quickly, first find a place to stay, thank you, Rock."
Yan Yan took a deep look at Zhuo Yun. The more than a year of getting along with him made his feelings for this kind-hearted elf girl more and more difficult to extricate himself from. His heart that died because of Yun'er's death seemed to be rejuvenated Reborn from youth, Zhuo Yun seemed to be his revived Yun'er in his heart, every frown and smile touched his heart. However, it was precisely because of the dead Yun'er that he was unable to face his feelings. Although he cared about Zhuo Yun very much, he didn't dare to show it. When she was an elf, the rock would always protect Zhuo Yun's side, lest she might make a mistake, the change of the rock could be understood even by the stupid dumb, how could Zhuo Yun not know? However, because of the begging spirit and the death of all the elves, Zhuo Yun's mood has been very low. It's not that the simple rock can't impress her, but she dare not face this feeling now. Normally, Rock and Zhuo Yun would always avoid each other's eyes intentionally or unintentionally.
Zhuo Yun evaded and hid beside Ah-Dai, and the four of them walked on the streets of Sunset City. The streets of Sunset City were the widest they had ever seen, reaching tens of meters wide. There doesn't seem to be any dark forces hidden here. Although there are many shops around, it is different from other cities. There is no place like a casino or a brothel.
"Brother, what do you think of that hotel?" Yan Li pointed to a not-so-large hotel not far ahead. The appearance of the hotel is very mediocre, without any gorgeous decorations, and the big sign at the door reads the four characters of Tongxin Hotel. Rock nodded and said, "Okay, let's live here then."
When the four of them entered the hotel, they were all taken aback. Compared with the outside, the decoration inside was simply far different. From the outside, it was just an ordinary two-story building, but once inside, the spacious hall was almost Thousands of square meters, although the luxurious decoration is not as good as the original Anhao Nightclub, it is still quite gorgeous. The floor was covered with a scarlet carpet, and there were four huge pillars supporting the roof beam at the four corners of the hall. Although there were not many decorations in the hall, the various decorations were very elegant. At this time, there were not many guests in the hotel, and only seven or eight guests were registering in front of the counter on the left.
Seeing the four people entering, two robust waiters came up to meet them, with lukewarm expressions on their faces, and one waiter said in a strange way: "Stop, what are you doing here?"
Duan was stunned for a moment, and said: "Aren't you a hotel here? Of course we are here to stay in a hotel."
A waiter snorted and said disdainfully: "You are country bumpkins who just came from the countryside, and you don't even know where our Tongxin is. You alone are not worthy of living here. Leave quickly. We won't want you to be kicked out. "
Yan Li stepped forward, stood on tiptoe, grabbed the chest of the waiter who was speaking, and said angrily, "Who do you call a bumpkin?"
The waiter was taken aback for a moment. He obviously didn't expect that the four ordinary-dressed civilians in front of him would dare to attack him. Yan Li's big hand was full of strength. Although he was short, the waiter had no power to resist. He tried to struggle a few times, but found that his chest seemed to be pressed against a mountain, making it difficult to move. Angrily said: "Short ghost, let go of your stinky hands, you don't want to live anymore, do you?"
Yan Li hated people saying that he was short, so he was furious and raised the waiter with one arm. If he was allowed to throw the waiter out, he might be seriously injured if he didn't die. Yanyan grabbed Yanli's arm, frowned and said, "Ali, don't be impulsive, let him down first. We are not here to make trouble."
Yan Li glanced at the rock, hummed heavily, put the waiter on the ground, and let go of his hand. The waiter stepped back a few steps, and with the help of his companions, he stood upright. His proud face had turned pale, and his voice trembled, "You, you..."
Yan Yan shouted: "What are you, dogs see people as inferior, if you don't want to die, get out." After finishing speaking, the four walked towards the counter proudly. They didn't take a few steps, and more than a dozen waiters immediately surrounded them. Looking menacing, at this moment, a person in charge walked over from the direction of the counter, frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
The two waiters earlier ran to the steward and explained what happened just now. The steward looked at Dumb and the others up and down, and said impatiently: "We can't come here if we don't have money, don't you understand? This place is not affordable for you at all, so hurry up." Saying, like He waved his hand as if to repel flies.
The repeated insults caused the rock to slam against him in anger. He strode forward, took out the savings card he got from the fat uncle from his pocket, threw it at the steward, and said coldly: "I'm blind!" Your dog eyes, take a closer look."
The steward was taken aback for a moment, but the seasoned man was not angry at Rock's insults. He picked up the deposit card that had fallen on the floor, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, "Ah! This, this is."
Rock snorted coldly: "You can go and check, this card contains at least one million gold coins, are we qualified to live here?" The consumption of the Sunset Empire is very high. The money has already been used up, and Dui was too embarrassed to go to the Magician’s Union to ask for it, so he used the old method to punish the casinos in the Sunset Empire, and he won a lot. But there are still several million gold coins in their hands, which is enough for them to spend.
The steward's expression changed quickly, and he respectfully handed the deposit card back to Rock, turned his head and said angrily to the waiters, "Hurry up and leave, are you going to feed you? You can't even recognize the distinguished guests?" Turning to Rock, he flattered: "I'm really sorry, it's all their subordinates who were rude. Please forgive us for our negligence. Please come with me, distinguished guests." As he said, he turned his head and led the way.
Yan Li glanced at his mouth unremittingly. He had seen this kind of face too much. In this sunset empire, being rich and powerful represented everything. Before the four of them were led to the counter on the left by the steward, the steward asked: "Several distinguished guests, do you know if there is anything we can do?"
Rock said: "We want to stay in a hotel. Isn't this a hotel? Open three rooms." The rooms in any hotel in the Sunset Empire are usually for two people. They came all the way, and Brother Rock has always shared a room. Dumb They have a room with Zhuo Yun.
The steward was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be a misunderstanding, you must have come from other places. Our Sunset City is different from other cities, because it is the capital of the empire after all, so casinos and brothels cannot be opened openly, so , Most of them have changed their names, like ours, these two kinds of businesses are the main businesses, don’t you guys want to play around?”
The four of them were stunned at the same time. It turned out that Sunset City didn't have casinos and brothels, but they were doing it under the guise of selling sheep and doing it in secret. Dumb frowned and said, "Then do you have a place to live here?"
The steward said: "Of course there are, but they are usually prepared for those big customers, so the price is naturally higher."
Rock handed over the savings card and said, "It doesn't matter if the price is high. The most important thing is that the environment should be quiet. We don't like to be noisy, understand?" The secret of summoning the Elf Queen must never be discovered by any outsider.
The steward hurriedly took the card and said, "Understood, the VIP rooms here have always been known for their elegant environment, three rooms, no problem." Receive three hundred gold coins. Rock now understands why those attendants stopped them from entering in the first place. The consumption here is indeed not affordable by ordinary people, probably not much worse than Anhao Nightclub.
The steward personally took them to the VIP room at the back. Although this hotel looks inconspicuous from the outside, it is very spacious inside. It is mainly divided into two parts: the casino and the brothel. Of course, these two parts are also connected. It's really hard to play here with more than 10,000 assets.
Pass through a long corridor. On both sides of the corridor are the two halls of the Tongxin Hotel. According to the steward, there are also many ordinary rooms in the brothel, but they are only used by those clients. At the entrance of the brothel, there were more than a dozen beautiful young girls who kept showing their heads to several people, but their looks were ordinary, and even the more lustful Yanli couldn't arouse interest. The four followed the steward to the backyard of the hotel. There was a small building in the backyard. This small building was the so-called VIP building. The steward brought them into the building and opened three rooms for them on the second floor.
"Several distinguished guests, if you need anything, please do not hesitate to ask. There are attendants in the building, waiting for your orders at any time."
Rock said impatiently: "Go down, I will call them if something happens."
The steward still seemed a little reconciled, and asked: "Are you guys really not going to the casino to have fun? The facilities here are first-class. There are also first-class waitresses in the brothel, with a full range of services to satisfy you."
Rock did not directly refuse, and said calmly: "We have come from a long way and need to rest, let's talk about it after rest." After finishing speaking, the four of them entered a room together and locked the steward outside.
The layout in the room was indeed very gorgeous, but the one-day accommodation fee of one hundred gold coins still seemed so expensive.
Yan Li sat down on the big bed in the middle of the room and said, "Brother, are we ready to act now?"
Rock shook his head and said, "It's not busy. The action will start at night. It would be too conspicuous if Her Majesty the Elf Queen is summoned in broad daylight."
Zhuo Yun took off the bamboo hat on his head and exposed his pointed ears, and said: "Then it will be good tonight. When Her Majesty the Queen comes, we will act immediately." The expression on her face is still worried, as long as the elf princess has not been rescued , her worries will not disappear.
Dumb thought for a while, and said, "Sister, I don't know why? I always feel that the action tonight will not be too smooth."
Zhuo Yun was stunned, and said: "Why? With our current strength, together with Her Majesty the Queen and several elders, no matter how powerful the nobles are, they cannot stop our actions."
Dumb said: "I don't understand why I feel this way, but it's better to be careful, let's practice for a while first, and wait until we are in the best condition at night before acting."
Zhuo Yun nodded. She is still very convinced of the most powerful Duan. After all, every time the elves are rescued, it is almost Dui who resists most of the enemies. In her heart, Duan’s strength is no less than that of the elves. The great elf envoy. "Okay then, I'll go to the next room to rest." After finishing speaking, he left the room under the silent gaze of Rock.
Seeing Zhuo Yun leave, Rock frowned and said, "Dai, is there something on your mind?" Judging from the dull look on Dumb's face, Rock had already seen the flaw. Dumb seemed to be worried about something all the time, but he didn't show it in front of Zhuo Yun.
A cold light flashed in Dumb's eyes, he sighed, and said, "Brother, I'm really afraid that the elf princess will be like the elves before." The last time the elves were rescued was two months ago, and they stopped the woman one after another The elf committed suicide three times, but the elf, whose heart was severely traumatized, finally died from the meridians. The death of the fourteen elves successively touched Ah-Dai deeply, and he was full of hatred for those greedy and dark nobles. The name of the god of death appeared in the nobles' homes again and again, but this was not enough to calm Ah-Dai's heart sadness. It has been almost a year and a half since Bing's death. During the past year and a half, his heart has always been in the incomparably dark, and he is about to save the last elf, and it is the most important thing. Elf princess, Ah Dui's heart is full of hesitation, if the Elf princess also commits suicide, then their mission will be declared a failure, and repeated blows have brought Ah Dui to the brink of collapse. In front of Zhuo Yun, of course he couldn't express his worries, because he clearly understood that Zhuo Yun was hit harder than him by watching his people die one by one, and he couldn't provoke her anymore.
Rock sighed, and said, "Brother, I don't understand your worries. Now I can only hope that the elven blood that Her Majesty the Queen mentioned at the beginning can keep the princess's purity. Otherwise, it will be really difficult for us to confess to Her Majesty the Queen." How could he not be worried? Zhuo Yun's heartbroken appearance and the deaths of the elves also shocked his heart.
Duan said bitterly: "These bastards of the Sunset Empire use all kinds of evil means. I am afraid that the blood of the elves is also very difficult..."
Rock patted Ah-Dai on the shoulder, and said: "It's useless to worry now, everything has its own will in the dark, and if God humiliates the elf princess, we can't change it."
Duan’s eyes suddenly glowed brightly, and he said in a deep voice: “God, what is God? If there really is a god, why doesn’t he pity these kind people and let those evil forces run rampant? I have to fight him too. If Princess Xing'er is insulted, I will let all the nobles of the Sunset Empire bury her with her."
Under the surging killing intent emanating from Dui, Brother Rock's heart trembled in unison, and the two looked at each other in blank dismay. The rock stimulated the grudge in his body, resisted the huge pressure from Dumb, grabbed his shoulders, and said, "Brother, the killing intent in your heart is too strong. If you continue like this, you will fall. Do you think, Pluto?" The sword seems to be gradually controlling your mind?"
Duan was taken aback, woke up from the monstrous killing intent, lowered his head, and murmured: "Brother, how could I not know? The Pluto Sword is powerful, but it also corrodes my body and mind. If it weren't for me I am afraid that I have already been controlled by it. However, in the face of those damned guys, how can I let them go?" What he didn't say was that the evil spirit of Hades Sword Strength not only erodes his mind, but also restricts the growth of his skills. Although in the past year or so, his vitality has improved rapidly. But every time he goes to attack the last level of the eighth level, there will be an inexplicable evil that stops him, making it impossible for him to break through to the ninth level, the highest level of true energy. If he can't reach the ninth level, it will be difficult for him to make a qualitative leap in life and death. He also doesn't want to use the Pluto sword anymore, but whenever he is in danger, only the Pluto sword is his most advantageous attack weapon. The first three moves of the Pluto sword can be said to be almost invincible. Apart from escaping, no one has survived under the sword of Hades. In order to achieve the purpose of killing the wicked, he used the Pluto sword again and again, and it is unknown how many people died under the monstrous evil spirit. As the Pluto sword devours more souls, its evil spirit becomes stronger and stronger, and Duan often feels a sense of boredom in his heart, as if everyone in the world deserves to die. The murderous intent in his heart It often rises for no reason. If it weren't for the kind thoughts deep in his heart and the holy power that generates true energy, he might have been unable to resist and turned into a real murderous demon.
Rock shook his head and said: "Brother, although those people deserve to die, you should try not to use the Pluto sword in the future, otherwise, if you really can't control yourself, the first to kill is probably the person closest to you. Approaching us?"
Dumb's whole body was shocked, and he looked at the rock with dull eyes. He clearly knew that what Yan Yan said was not alarmist, and it was not impossible. Cold sweat continued to ooze out, and Ah-Dai suddenly felt his mind became much clearer. Taking a deep breath, Duan said: "Brother, I went back to the room to practice. Only by breaking through the final limit with my true energy can I control the Pluto sword." After finishing speaking, he resolutely walked out of Brother Rock's room and entered the final Inside the VIP room on the side.
Watching Ah-Dai leave, Rock sighed helplessly, and said to Yan: "Let's start practicing too. I hope Ah-Dai can control himself."
Yan Li said: "Brother, is Dumb's situation really as serious as you said?"
Rock nodded solemnly, and said: "It's only more serious than what I said. Haven't you noticed that when Dumb killed people a few times recently, he changed into a different person, like a cold devil, merciless in his men, Sometimes, the opponent is obviously not very strong, but he still uses the Pluto sword to kill those people. Don’t you feel disgusted by the mummies? But Dumb doesn’t seem to notice it. Look Seeing Duan become like this, I feel really sad. If I had known it would be like this, I would have organized him to agree to the Elf Queen. It is important to save the elves, but if the kind Dui becomes a demon, I am afraid it will be even worse Terrible. Hey, in my heart, Dumb has a more important position than elves! You should remember Prophet Purin's entrustment to us, we must not let him go on like this."
Yanli deeply felt his brother's worry, and asked through gritted teeth: "Brother, if one day Dumb really can't control himself, what should we do?"
Rock's whole body was shaken, looking at Yan Li, the two brothers stood there with chills all over their bodies, they both thought of the answer, but they were unwilling to accept the answer. Rock said with difficulty: "I hope that day will never come. Starting today, we must try our best to prevent Dui from using the Pluto sword. It's all because our skills are too weak. If we can help him share more, maybe it will be better now." There are too many. Ali, we have to redouble our efforts in cultivation."
After Ah-Dai entered the room, he sat cross-legged on the big bed. He didn't start practicing immediately, but silently recalled Rock's words before, and the chills made his body tremble a little. Dumb gently stroked the Pluto sword on his chest, why? Why did you bring me great strength, but also brought me such a big trouble. You have influenced my mind, will I really become a demon in the future? No, no, I don't want to become a demon, I am dumb, I used to be so kind, but since Bing died, I have changed, become so murderous, I can't go on like this.
