"It's not too late, let's set off tomorrow, just to see what's going on in this world." Lu Sheng made up his mind.
That night, he ordered his servants to prepare food for him on the way, then packed up his money and saluted, and went to bed early.
Early the next morning, Jialin came over to play again. Knowing that Lu Sheng was planning to go out, she also wanted to go out with her.
During this time, Lu Sheng was exercising his body, and because Jialin was close, she often came over to take care of him. She arranges and takes care of many things and affairs in Zhuangzi together, which can be regarded as well organized.
The first place Lu Sheng went to was a small town called Betas City in Sunset County.
According to Roddy's letter, there was a man named Veron there, who was a master inherited from the Indy Free Killing School. Although it was just a casual mention in the letter, Lu Sheng kept it in mind.
Because the school that Veron was born in is said to be as famous as the Jerelo Sword School.
Presumably there should be similar potions.
Another different type of medicine is the purpose of his trip.
According to Luo Di, a person who practiced swordsmanship would also try out the effects of different potions on himself. If he was not sensitive to the black thorn potion, the effect would not be great. Then you can try to take the red thorn potion in Veron's hand.
He once saved Veron's life. It is possible to make a request to him that will never be refused.
It just so happened that Lu Sheng's body had already adapted to the stimulation of the black thorn, and a different medicine might be able to make a breakthrough.
Betas City.
The vicious sun released light and heat wantonly in the cloudless blue sky.
The air in the city seemed to be distorting, and fuzzy streams of heat steamed up from the ground. The wind blows in the eyes, nostrils and mouth, and it is dry and hot.
Both Lu Sheng and Jialin were wrapped in white gauze to reflect the light.
The servants followed the two of them, and they had been looking at this special city since they entered the city.
Even though the weather is hot, there are still many pedestrians coming and going on both sides of the street. The road in the middle is full of excrement from passing horse-drawn carts and ox carts.
Jialin has a petite figure and has a very predictable chest. She sways on the road and is very eye-catching. Many men who looked like military officers couldn't help but glance over her intentionally or unintentionally.
Those who want to strike up a conversation, after seeing the tall and strong Lu Sheng beside him, they also consciously retreat back.
"I've never been to such a far place before." Jialin looked around curiously with big eyes.
Lu Sheng walked behind her with a calm expression.
"Actually, it means bigger land, more people, and more houses. It's no different."
"There are so many differences, it's nothing." Jialin said speechlessly, seeing gold and silver jewelry on the side of the road, she hurried over to pick them up.
Both of them are the sons of the manor owner, and they are not bad money. None of the manor owners who can gain a foothold in this kind of place are fuel-efficient lamps.
In particular, Roddy is a powerful fighter who exceeds the limit of the human body.
While Jialin was choosing accessories, Lu Sheng glanced around. He brought Jialin here last night, and after arranging the accommodation, he immediately brought someone to find the man named Veron.
He remembered that the man had a shop in this block.
"Step aside!"
"Get out of the way!"
"Go away! Disgusting white-skinned pig!"
Suddenly, bursts of cursing were faintly heard in the distance. A group of strong yellow-skinned men in white jackets and dark yellow trousers pushed away the crowd cursingly and walked towards this side.
"It's those short yellow perils in the east!"
"Go away! Don't be touched by them!"
"Damn! No one will take care of them?!"
Lu Sheng vaguely heard the whispers of the people around him.
He glanced at those people. These people were strong, slightly short, with light yellow skin and oriental faces. They all carried short knives on their backs.
Suddenly seeing people with the same skin color as his own body, Lu Sheng was a little close to him at first, but now he saw this group of people running amok and no one dared to provoke them on the street, he couldn't help feeling a little helpless.
"Ah Sang..." Jialin also seemed to be frightened, and returned to him, gently holding his hand.
"It's okay, don't be afraid." Lu Sheng whispered, pulling her towards a woodcarving shop nearby.
The group of yellow-skinned men in white quickly passed by the store door, cursing as they walked.
The two of Lu Sheng entered the shop, and immediately saw the shop owner sitting at the door lazily dozing off.
"Are you....? Luosang?" The boss is a young man with a solid and well-proportioned figure, and he seems to have a streamlined sense of strength.
But compared to Lu Sheng, it is still a big circle smaller.
The boss woke up and stood up at once, with a surprised look on his face.
"I recognized you at a glance, exactly the same as your father when he was young! Strong boy!" He patted Lu Sheng's arm hard.
"Uncle Veron?" Lu Sheng asked with a smile.
"Yes, I'm Veron. Your father mentioned something to me. Did you come here to test the medicine? I prepared it for you a long time ago." Veron laughed loudly, "Come with me!"
He didn't see any exception, and arranged for the servants and Jialin to rest in the shop first, then he took Lu Sheng out through the back door and came to the warehouse full of wood carvings.
"It seems that you really didn't choose to escape." Veron looked at Lu Sheng with emotion and said.
"Escaping won't solve the problem." Lu Sheng nodded.
"Yeah, just like me... Back then, if it wasn't for your father..." Veron shook his head and said no more.
He pushed a wooden drum over, opened the lid, and took out a black bottle from inside.
The bottle was as thick as a bowl. He opened the lid and let Lu Sheng take a look. It was filled with extremely black viscous liquid. It smelled like burnt plastic cups.
"These are useless quantities that I refined before, you can take them all. It is enough for more than ten people to use for more than ten years... It was prepared when I was going to open a museum to teach apprentices, but unfortunately... . " Veron showed helplessness.
"This is the red thorn." Lu Sheng took the medicine bottle and shook it lightly, feeling the heavy weight inside.
"Take it, take it all, anyway, I don't need it now." Veron smiled desolately.
He lowered his head, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and without lighting it, just put it in his mouth and took a deep breath.
"Finally, Luosang, as an old man who disobeyed your father's advice and almost died, I want to give you a piece of advice."
"Please tell me." Lu Sheng nodded slightly and said seriously.
Veron was silent for a while, took a few more puffs of cigarettes, and then slowly made a sound.
"Never fight a monster head-on.
Don't be superstitious about your own strength. You have to remember, no matter at any time, don't fight the monster head-on.
The arts we learn are for humans, and monsters are called monsters because they are invincible. "
He gently lifted his left leg, and there was a prosthetic leg there.
"Look, this is the price I paid."
"I will." Lu Sheng nodded thoughtfully.
"In addition, if you have a good absorption level of potions and want to try more potions, you can go to the Banba College in Huangkui City. Keke Anda, the professor of pharmacy at the college, will give you some help. Just tell him that I let you Just go. He is my best friend and will definitely take care of you." Veron added.
"Okay, thank you very much, Veron." Lu Sheng thanked him sincerely.
"Call me uncle, brat." Veron scolded with a smile.
... ... ... .
Coming out of the wood carving shop, Veron also arranged for a guy to greet Lu Sheng and the two.
They simply planned to wander around the city for a few days. For Lu Sheng, these few days were just an opportunity to try the effect of the red thorn potion on himself.
Because there was Jialin on the side outside, Lu Sheng couldn't take a lot of medicine, so he just tried a little.
The result was that the new drug was indeed effective.
However, the amount that Veron gave was too little, it was enough for ordinary people, but it still lacked a lot for Lu Sheng.
Afterwards, Lu Sheng went to inquire again, and Veron gave him the prescription very readily.
In fact, medicine is not the most precious thing, but the most precious thing is the exercise method that helps digestion and eliminates toxicity. Taking medicine without exercise is slow suicide.
What moved Lu Sheng was that Veron also sent him the supporting exercise method.
In his words, just don't spread the word.
Anyway, Luo Sang's father is Luo Di, they are all people in the same circle, they know everything, and Luo Di saved his life back then.
Veron said that this contribution is just a little bit of his heart. If you still need it in the future, you can always go to him for help.
After getting the prescription, Lu Sheng didn't go back immediately, but rushed directly to the Banba Academy that Veron mentioned.
After he asked his servants to take Jialin home, he took the caravan to Huangkui City alone.
Since you want to look for it, let's look for more medicines and prescriptions in one go.
East and Southwest of the Empire, Elmar's Forest.
In the dark green dense forest full of vitality, around a depression covered with white grass, a group of soldiers holding long spears, short knives and shields are carefully scattered in the forest.
A tall man wearing an imperial officer's leather armor was slowly walking towards a cloaked figure sitting on the edge of the depression.
There was a hideous knife scar at the corner of the man's eye, and there were also dark red scars scattered across his exposed neck.
"That place has started to act again... They killed four of Baiying's people..." The man's body trembled slightly, and he seemed a little excited and a little scared. He noticed that the man in the cloak trembled when he heard the news, so he continued.
"Some people say, have you ever survived death?"
There was silence in the woods.
The scarred man waited patiently for the other party's reply. But the trembling back of his hand still revealed his current mood.
"General Urus. Are you facing death too?" The man in the cloak made a hoarse and unpleasant voice.
The scarred man pursed his lips tightly and did not reply.
After a long time, the cloaked man spoke slowly again.
"This trip, there are quite a few people facing death. With your strength, you can't find a key way to avoid death. Let alone me? Even if you kill me, I can't help you break free."
"The power of that place is irreversible...."
Urus suppressed his anger.
"Even Dr. Edward, who is known as the light of Donghe, has died... For so many years....For so many years... I have been on guard all the time, guarding against monsters that may come to kill me at any time .
Even if he escaped the pursuit again and again, he would still be frightened at any time, but now it is different! This is death! Death! ! "
The cloaked man was equally silent.
"I got through the death zone just by luck. The only thing I want to tell you is, don't run away."
"Don't run away....?" General Urus repeated.
