The forest surrounds the City of Runes. Looking into the distance from the height of the city, the green green surrounds the white city. However, at this time, a bare road appears in the dense forest, like a man with fluffy hair. But there is a bald general conspicuous.
Black smoke rose in the rain, and the inhabitants of Rune City could see it from afar.
"What happened there?"
"There has been a faint sound of explosion over there just now. Could it be someone from Steel Fire Fort who is calling..."
"I got up and sorted the goods before dawn. Do you know what I saw? A group of rune guards walked into the forest, which is the direction of the smoke now."
Looking at the smoke in the distance, the residents of Rune City were startled and guessed again and again. The information about the arrival of aliens, the ruling class was the first to know, has not yet spread.
"It's him... It must be him..." In the crowd, a man as short and thin as a mouse was terrified. When the people around him discovered his abnormality, their eyes lit up, guessing that this person might know something, and they asked in succession.
"That's an alien! He landed outside the city last night, he can speak our language, and made a request to Rune City..." This person was the leader of the smugglers last night, like a bean in a bamboo tube, and he recounted last night's sightings. All said, the audience around him became more and more, and they all looked in disbelief.
"A battle must have broken out there, proving that Rune City did not agree to the alien's request." The leader of the smugglers swallowed.
At this moment, there was a commotion in the distance, and a rune guard ran back with all his strength, with traces of gunfire blackening his face. Behind him, more and more embarrassed soldiers fled back.
This scene gave the residents a bad premonition. A middle-aged man found that his brother who was a soldier had also escaped, and hurriedly grabbed him and asked about the situation.
"The people above rejected the alien's request, they wanted to catch the alien... The army of tens of thousands of people was defeated, and there was only one enemy. We killed thousands of people, even his clothes were touched. No, it's too scary, everyone else has run away, that guy is walking towards the city now, you should also run away!" The guard was still in shock, finished speaking in one breath, got rid of the entanglement, got out of the crowd, ran in a hurry.
Everyone was in an uproar, with a nervous look on their faces, and at the same time they were furious. They wanted to press the Lord of Runes to the ground and kill them. The aliens provoked an alien and put them in danger. They wanted to hang the Lord of Runes and beat them. How good, to provoke people for no reason and put the whole city in danger, isn't it cheap? Is it cheap? !
At this time, a group of soldiers walked out from the direction of the central tower, pushed the residents away, and left the middle of the road empty. The Lord of Rune led a group of officials and hurried towards the edge of the city. The guard behind him also held a strange statue.
The aliens are about to enter the city, and there is no time to escape. The rune master has no choice. Thinking of the alien's request, he can only bring the statue to beg for mercy. According to the information on the front line, the aliens did not chase and kill the fleeing army, and He wasn't injured either. Maybe the aliens didn't like to kill. He did it with a fluke, and there was no intention of coveting the aliens. Now he just hoped that the aliens would take the things and leave and forgive them.
Seeing this, some residents followed behind, and more and more people joined along the road, converging into a torrent, following behind the rune lord's team, wanting to see the situation with their own eyes.
Thousands of people came to the villages on the edge of the city, and countless people were looking forward to it and feeling nervous.
The Lord of Runes kept wiping away sweat, uneasy,
tao tao…
The sound of footsteps stepping on fallen leaves and humus sounded from the depths of the forest, getting closer and closer. As the distance got closer, the faces of the residents and the Lord of Runes became more and more uneasy, as if the bell of the ruling was approaching. Not long after, Han Xiao finally walked out of the forest and came to the edge of Rune City.
As soon as he appeared, countless eyes focused on him, all eyes were full of curiosity, fear, worry and other emotions.
He glanced at the huge crowd and a group of guys who were obviously officials, his eyelids jumped, he knew at a glance what the other party had planned, and he pouted.
I feel that I have hit the iron plate, and I plan to offer the statue on my own initiative. Don't it feel too late to be soft now
The Lord of Runes took the statue from the guard, hurried forward, carefully observed Han Xiao, and said in a trembling voice, "This, this should be what you want..."
Unsure of the thoughts of aliens, the Lord of Runes did not dare to say unnecessary words. Although he was a ruler, he had no confidence in the face of a strong man who could easily destroy an army of tens of thousands of people.
Although the Secret Blue Star does not have systematic knowledge of power users, there are also powerhouses who have explored the way of super power. The War Rune Sect is a gathering place for practitioners in Rune City and has a transcendent status, but even the founder of the sect, It can only barely deal with a thousand rune guards, and it takes at least half a day to fight, and the killing efficiency is not at the same level as the aliens in front of them. After the battle report came back, the Lord of Rune had the last hope that he wanted to invite the fighters of the War Rune Sect to block the aliens, but directly closed the door. The War Rune Sect who came into contact with the super power category was very powerful, knowing that he could do nothing at all. A chance for the Lord of Rune to speak... Although he receives huge grants from him every year.
Han Xiao stretched out his hand and touched the statue. The panel information was confirmed to be correct. This is the last lost statue.
When he stretched out his hand, the Lord of Rune shuddered obviously, met Han Xiao's gaze, was frightened, and hurriedly lowered his head.
Glancing at the nervous crowd, Han Xiao calmly said: "Don't worry, our mercenaries never kill innocent people indiscriminately."
Hearing this, everyone's dangling hearts were immediately put down, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way, who is the ruler here?"
The residents all pointed to the Lord of Runes. Before the Lord of Runes had time to relax, his face tightened and he pulled out a reluctant smile.
"It's you who sent troops to attack me?" Han Xiao asked, "Why didn't you accept my request?"
The Rune Lord's lips trembled, not daring to answer.
"According to the principle of equal exchange of mercenaries, you attacked me. If you want to settle this matter, you must make compensation." Han Xiao squinted, "What do you want to exchange for your own life?"
The Lord of Runes was in a cold sweat, and his heart was full of grief and anger. This was the first time he had been threatened. Who would dare to speak to him like this
And you hurt so many of us, and you want us to compensate
Intuit domineering ah!
"We have a lot of extraterrestrial things..." The Lord of Rune gritted his teeth secretly, and could only endure the heartache and asked his subordinates to list the treasury list and hand it to Han Xiao.
Han Xiao glanced at it and was a little disappointed. The local currency of the Secret Blue Star is meaningless to him. The only thing that is acceptable is the extraterrestrial. However, the inventory of Rune City is really a pile of garbage, most of which are waste, and a small part. They are all products of rune technology, and they are basically scrapped. They don’t have much value. Rune technology doesn’t conform to his knowledge system. After reading the list from the beginning, he came to the conclusion that looking at this thing is a waste of time. Poor!
Throwing away the list, Han Xiao shook his head, "The things you compensated can't buy your life, I'm sorry, I can only make you pay for your mistakes."
The face of the Lord of Runes changed greatly.
