Outside the city at dusk, inside a town under the city.
In the abandoned small square, Su Xiao looked at the map in her hand. This was bought by Baja from an antique shop in the town. According to the Dark Bishop Bochva, most of the antique shops in the Southern Continent buy and sell stolen goods.
This map of Dusk City was bought by Baha for 5 sun gold coins.
With the strength of Su Xiao's team, of course they can grab it directly, but it's not worth it to lose their dignity in this world for a mere five sun gold coins.
In fact, every world has a hidden "fame value", which is simply reputation. Unless we can eradicate the roots without leaving any trace behind, otherwise after taking the land by force, the reputation in an area will definitely decline, and it may have an impact on the area.
As for the follow-up plan, after all, I don’t know who is the backer behind this antique shop owner.
Viewed from above, under the thousand-meter high wall surrounded by Dusk City, there are small towns of different sizes every few kilometers. These small towns are collectively called Chengxia Town, and those that are more than five kilometers away from Dusk City are
It is called a distant town.
The blood moon at night makes the world outside the high walls of Dusk City feel like purgatory at night. Even in the daytime when the sun is dim and high, the town under the city is still not safe. There are still monsters in the city during the day, but the number is not as high as at night.
That’s just too much.
There are distant towns further away. In those towns, every household has an underground shelter, or the town itself is a strange town. The best result for foreigners who mistakenly enter the strange town is to be assimilated by the strange, or worse, they are...
Devoured completely.
Compared to the past, Twilight City is indeed a bit declined and dilapidated. It is no longer the pinnacle royal city of the transcendent realm, Lieyang City. Even so, every inch of land in Twilight City is still valuable. This world does not lack fertile land, but it lacks security.
It has fertile land, so even though Dusk City is large, most of the land is used to produce food.
Looking at the entire outer city, the outer urban areas are all breeding areas and farmland. The residents of the outer city live as close to the high walls of the inner city as possible.
We had just made an agreement with Dark Bishop Bohewa to meet in the outer city. Now it seems that we have to pass through a large planting area before we can get to the outer city.
Su Xiao, Green Jillian, and Xiao headed towards the city gate. For some reason, Xiao deliberately walked on the right side of Su Xiao, letting Su Xiao separate Green Jillian. It seemed that Green Jillian was gradually getting closer.
The malicious look made Xiao feel that something was wrong.
"Who are you."
On the way, Xiao suddenly spoke. When he heard this, Green Gillian's face showed a half-smile, and Baha, who was filled with bad feelings, asked, "Can I tell you?"
"Of course, this kind of thing will be exposed sooner or later. Besides, Xiao has already boarded the pirate ship. She actually has a grudge against the Arcane Eternal Star."
Hearing this, Baha coughed slightly and introduced solemnly: "Actually, this is the famous ancestor female exterminator, Ms. Green Gillian!"
As soon as he said this, Xiao suddenly stopped where he was and looked at Green Gillian in astonishment. The next second, her figure disappeared, as if she had never existed.
"Hey~! Don't leave, I just want to make friends!"
Green Gillian was obviously a little annoyed. Baha smiled wickedly and whistled, admiring the surrounding scenery.
"Tsk~, the ideal wife in this world is gone, I have to find another one."
Green Gillian began to think casually, but Su Xiao ignored it. If outsiders saw this scene, they would definitely not feel that Green Gillian was an ancient person like the First Generation Destroyer. Not long after,
She adapts to today's era, where all kinds of mantras and trendy language emerge in endlessly.
When the group of people arrived at the city gate, it was already noon. Su Xiao took out an approval document from a big noble in the inner city. The city guards quickly let them go. This was perhaps the strongest elite regiment Su Xiao had ever seen, with a total of more than 100 members.
The main gate city guards are all extremely powerful, but they give people a different feeling from normal extremely powerful people. Although their aura is sharp and iron-blooded, it does not have the heavy feeling of extremely strong power.
If you guessed it right, these soldiers are pseudo-superpowers created with a large amount of "monster hearts". In order to be able to withstand the dark night falling once a day, it is conservatively estimated that their peak combat power stage does not exceed 5 years, and their average lifespan is very long.
Probably under 40 years old. It seems that in order to defend Twilight City, both the nobles and ordinary residents here have paid a high price.
If they are besieged by tens of thousands of such soldiers, let alone the strongest, even the most powerful top echelons will most likely not be able to withstand them and can only temporarily avoid their edge.
If the city guards in the outer city are like this, the Sun Warriors in the inner city must be even more powerful. The Old Guards composed of them are undoubtedly the pinnacle of combat power among the major forces in the world.
After passing through the somewhat cold city gate, which is several hundred meters long, the oncoming air is a bit fresh with vegetation. This is a train station. Looking around, you can see the endless rice fields in the distance, and the breeze is blowing the full rice fields.
The ears of rice rustle like an endless golden ocean.
When you get on the train, the sight you see makes you wonder, is this really an extremely dangerous realm of transcendence?
'The destroyer of law.'
A sound like a void of murmurs appeared next to Su Xiao's ears. He opened his eyes and found that Bubowang, Eminem, Baha, and even Green Jillian all looked as usual.
Is it an auditory hallucination? Su Xiao didn't think that with the strength of his soul, auditory hallucinations would suddenly appear. He closed his eyes and listened carefully. The surroundings were quiet at first, but after a while, a sound like a slowly burning candle came from the air. He
Enter a meditative state.
'Don't be deceived by the illusion constructed by the Gods, you destroy the law.'
Su Xiao opened his eyes. This time it must not be an auditory hallucination. Someone was trying to communicate with him from a distance. Faced with this situation, he took out a large bowl-like ritual utensil and asked Eminem to stand in front and hold it with both hands, and then
He injected a liquid silver-like solution into it.
The other party obviously did not expect Su Xiao to be so understanding. After hesitating for a few seconds, writing marks appeared on the solution. As if he was worried that Su Xiao could not understand the words in this world, the other party wrote 25,1350 in empty numbers.
Let Baha get the train manual, turn to the 25th city area, and look down to see No. 1350 Graystone Road, Old Friends Grocery Store.
The geographical location here is somewhat remote, at the very edge of the outer city, close to the large slums on the north side. The public security and sanitation conditions here are poor, and it has been marked as prohibited for civilians to travel at night.
The last sentence contains a lot of information. There is no curfew at night in Twilight City, which shows that the defense method here is different from the dungeon that relies on human lives. It is obviously a large-scale formation that protects the entire Twilight City at night.
.
Otherwise, the high wall surrounding Dusk City is not long enough to defend the city on the high wall, even if there are tens of millions of legions in Dusk City.
Su Xiao should ignore such invitations from unknown sources, but the last mark left by the other party is to prevent this. This mark comes from the old friend Scroll Master, who came here for some reason after leaving the world of eternal light.
"Are you sure this is an invitation from the Scroll Master? If so, I will avoid it for the time being."
When Green Gillian said this, her tone was unusually guilty, which made Baha curiously ask: "What evil things did you do to that old man?"
"Actually, it's nothing. I just sold all the rare scrolls he had accumulated for decades."
"Were you in a hurry to become stronger?"
"No, I was at the peak of my strength at that time."
"Then you are?"
"During that time, wasn't I hooking up with Anna, the owner of the House of Death? Money was tight, so I borrowed some from the old guy."
After saying that, Green Jillian opened the car window, jumped on the roof of the car, and disappeared from consciousness after a while. It seemed that she had hitchhiked to Twilight City and was not ready to continue walking with Su Xiao.
The scene outside the car window flew by. Half an hour later, a burning wooden house came into view. Near the wooden house, there were a few blood stains and pieces of clothing. Such traces could only be seen when a particularly ferocious beast devoured all the bones.
will appear, it can be seen that the city at dusk is not as safe as it seems.
When the train comes to a stop, a distant bell is heard. If you look in the direction of the sound, you will see the slightly dazzling sun at noon. A big bell will ring in the inner city of the city at dusk every day, which means that it has reached 12 noon.
point.
There were not many passengers in the station. On the benches on one side of the platform, there were a few half-grown teenagers squatting or sitting. They were wearing clothes that didn't fit very well. Their skin had a wrinkled and dirty feel because they hadn't showered for a long time.
, pairs of eyes looking around, looking for pickpocket targets.
The outer city of Dusk City has a characteristic. The closer to the high wall of the inner city, the better the security. On the contrary, in the outermost area of the outer city, the security here is not much better than the slums on the north side.
There are many pedestrians on the street. The heavy rain in the morning has made the weather cooler, so pedestrians have put on coats. The means of transportation on the street can be called a museum of the times, from extremely gorgeous horse-drawn carriages to steam-driven cars and bold diesel-burning vehicles.
Vehicles are all available.
The electricity and drainage systems in the entire city are perfect, but steam and gas pipes are also all over the walls. This clearly feels like there are technology trees in this world, but their spread is very uneven. In the inner city, the technology level is at the same level, and in the outer city,
The ring is on another level, and when it reaches the outermost city area, it shows a mixed situation.
After taking the bus for four stops, we arrived at the Laoyou Grocery Store at No. 1350 Graystone Road. This grocery store is located at a crossroads and has three floors in total. The windows on the second and third floors are all there.
The interior was boarded up, and since the neighborhood was so chaotic that the sheriff was unwilling to come, naturally no one suspected this.
The situation inside was unknown. Su Xiao asked Amu and Baha to stay outside, while Bubo Wang followed him in.
Ding bell~
The brass bell hanging on the door clanged. The entire grocery store was about more than 60 square meters. There were shelves in the shape of wall cabinets on both sides. A semi-circular wooden counter was leaning against the inner corner. On the other side was a room leading to the inner room.
door, and stairs to the second floor.
There was a round table in front of the stairs. The triplets dressed as grocery workers were surrounding the wooden table, eating round fried pasta and drinking strong tea. The three of them all looked at Su Xiao.
, although there was no bad look, but based on Su Xiao's experience, he immediately judged how capable the three of them were. It would take about 10 seconds. No, considering that the triplets had the same mind, it would take about 12 seconds to kill them all.
Arriving at the bar, the girl with a single ponytail was lying on the bar, sleeping soundly, drooling. She was wearing slim-fitting clothes like a white shirt, and the outline of the muscles on her back could be vaguely seen. She seemed to be a young and beautiful girl, but
She definitely has strong melee strength.
Dong Dong~
Su Xiao knocked on the bar, and the girl who had woken up a long time ago stood up reluctantly. She breathed, stretched, and said: "Dad, the guest you are waiting for is here."
After a while, the door to the inner room opened, and inside was an extremely dense darkness. An old figure wearing a dark green robe and holding an oil lamp stood in the darkness, as if he had merged with the darkness.
"Our old mutual friend is away temporarily for something, maybe we can have a chat."
The old man spoke in the darkness. The candlelight in the lantern in his hand was very special and extremely dim.
"..."
Su Xiao walked into the inner room shrouded in darkness. It felt like there was a layer of black liquid covering the ground, walls, and ceiling. Moreover, these black liquids would also swallow up the light source. Only the dark old man held the lamp in his hand.
The candlelight will not be swallowed up by it.
After sitting across from each other at the wooden table, the dark old man put the lantern on the table and said: "I have known Master Scroll for many years. It is really helpless to invite him here this time. If we don't get rid of the undead, there is no way we can enter the Twilight City.
In the center of the world, it is even more impossible for the Sun God Clan to end its survival. The former God Clan has now become a pitiful creature who cannot even continue to pass on the blood of the blazing sun."
The dark old man's half-dark face under the candlelight showed a mocking and somewhat sad smile.
"The only passage from the inner city to the central city is guarded by the immortal watchdog, and no one can pass. So I found old friends and came up with a solution. The method has been found. Originally, I wanted our disciples to
Take the opportunity to deal with the undead, now we have a better candidate."
The dark old man looked directly at Su Xiao with a pair of cloudy eyes, obviously wanting Su Xiao to deal with the undead he called.
Su Xiao was not interested in the dark old man's enemies at all, but the Scroll Master found a way to kill the undead. He was very interested. Among his subsequent enemies, there might be undead. You know, when the undead are around
In this world, even the killing ability cannot kill it.
"The Sun God Clan must be eradicated, they..."
As soon as the dark old man said this, his left eye suddenly swelled several times, and then starting from this point, various parts of his body swelled one after another. The violently trembling pupils made his right eye covered with bloodshot eyes. He was almost
He squeezed out from between his teeth: "Old days..."
Bang!
The dark old man exploded, and blood and flesh were splashed everywhere. In front of Su Xiao, on a thin crystal wall that had just been formed, minced meat mixed with broken bones dripped down. Separated from this crystal wall, there was an eyeball made of soul energy.
, appears on the opposite side.
This soul eye stared at Su Xiao. After standing still in mid-air for a few seconds, it burst open with a snap and did not choose to attack Su Xiao.
Just by looking at it, Su Xiao knew that this was the method of the Soul Academy. This kind of twisted and deformed soul power could not be found in other branches of the soul system except the imaginative soul system.
A short and dull sound of fighting came from the grocery store outside. Half a minute later, the fighting outside subsided. The wooden door was pushed open, and a burly figure wearing a tattered robe and a dark golden armor stood outside the door.
There was a snap, and the girl with a single ponytail who had been sleeping soundly on the bar was thrown in with her twisted body. Her dim pupils meant that she was dead.
The person outside the door said nothing and turned to leave. After a while, a raging fire ignited, and the dark liquid in the inner room gradually melted due to the death of the dark old man.
Su Xiao sat on a wooden chair, not caring about the flames spreading around him. Bu Bu Wang beside him broke away from the environment and took a notebook. This notebook was not written by the dark old man or the girl with a single ponytail.
, but a man named Nizaneh.
The main content of this diary is not important, but in a few words, it is revealed that in addition to the old guardians, the big library, and the old nobles, Twilight City also has a fourth force. This force is called the Night Guild. It has been for many years.
Before that, it gradually emerged with the support of the big library.
The Dark Night Guild's philosophy is different from the old nobles' neutrality, and the Big Library's idea that all powerful men in the world should participate in the inheritance of the Blood of the Burning Sun. The Dark Night Guild firmly believes that all disasters in this world are actually caused by
As a result of the Sun God Clan, we should not continue to inherit the blood of the blazing sun, and even if we don't inherit the blood of the blazing sun, the blazing sun in the sky will not fall, and the blood moon will also disappear.
In short, it was just one sentence: destroy the Sun God Clan. After this point of view was exposed, the big library that originally provided resources for their rise behind the scenes quickly stated that they were not familiar with the Night Guild.
The result is obvious. The Night Guild was destroyed. This grocery store should be the last stronghold of the Night Guild. Previously, the senior officials of Twilight City were too lazy to pay attention to these people. After all, the relationship between this place and the Big Library is unusual, but now these few
The members of the Night Guild actually tried to unite with the exterminators. This situation was different.
As for why the Soul Academy took action, this is unknown. It should be because they have an old grudge with the Night Guild and are taking the opportunity to kill them all. In addition, they can also sell the Sun God Clan, that is, the royal family of Twilight City, a favor.
But neither the royal family nor the Soul Academy chose to fight with Su Xiao. With the number of extremely powerful people in this world, it is somewhat unreasonable to say that they would be afraid of the strong. In this way, it can only be because of one thing, Twilight City and
The Soul Academy is imprisoned by immortal and abyss-breeding creatures, and a huge amount of resources are consumed for this purpose.
In fact, provoking the immortal and abyss-breeding creature is a particularly painful thing. We can neither eliminate this thing nor let it be free. Otherwise, it won't be long before this thing may come back and destroy the great force that once sealed it.
Pay the price.
However, if it is sealed for a long time, it requires continuous investment of resources to strengthen the seal. In addition, the more sealed the immortal and abyss-breeding creature is, the deeper the hatred will be accumulated against it.
Considering that the dungeon is the only big city in the northern continent, Twilight City, Soul Academy, and the Gods Religion should naturally have spies there to prevent forces that are not under their control from doing things that are harmful to their interests. Thinking of this, Su Xiao
The scene of completely wiping out the immortal and abyss-breeding creatures in the dungeon was naturally quickly known to the top brass of the three major forces.
Bloody Night falls about once a month in the Southern Continent. Considering that Lieyang Star is known as the world closest to the Abyss, the number of immortal and abyss-breeding creatures here should be quite a lot, maybe more than a dozen.
Only to the extent.
It is speculated that the three major forces, Twilight City, Soul Academy, and the Gods Religion, may have each sealed 2 to 3 immortal and abyss-breeding creatures, and these abyss-breeding creatures have brought great pressure on their resources.
In this way, it makes perfect sense that Twilight City and Soul Academy would not provoke or even offend Su Xiao in their attitude when they set out to completely destroy the Night Guild.
Regarding the invitation from the three forces to deal with the immortal and abyss-breeding creatures, Su Xiao would certainly agree. By destroying these abyss-breeding creatures, he would not only gain the completion level of the "Abyss Mission", but he would also be able to devour the origin of the immortal and abyss-breeding creatures through demon spirits.
Energy, and improve one's own "all potential upper limit levels" and "abyss resistance", as well as the "demon strength" of the blade demon.
Even so, it is actually a bit of a loss to directly agree to the invitation of the three major forces. He can definitely offer a high price, and the three major forces will definitely not refuse this high price. Compared with the cost of maintaining the abyss breeding seal, this kind of reward is affordable.
within the acceptable range.
Su Xiao walked out of the burning grocery store, and Bu Bu Wang beside him began to search for the scroll master's breath in the air. After a while, under the guidance of Bu Bu Wang, Su Xiao, Eminem, and Baha came to a barbecue restaurant.
Eminem looked very happy, while Su Xiao and Baha looked at Bubuwang.
"Woof."
Bubu barked, indicating that the aura tracer was definitely following him, so why not have a meal first to distract the enemy's attention, after all, there were three groups of people watching us secretly.
After thinking about it for a moment, Bubo Wang, who usually makes mistakes, did a good job in this matter. But at this moment, the three groups who secretly monitored Su Xiao almost laughed out loud. Just now they saw Bubo Wang in the air.
Sniffing, I thought this dog man had discovered something, but ended up tracking it to a barbecue restaurant.
While enjoying lunch, Bubu Wang suddenly disappeared. He was going to track the location of Master Scroll. Time passed by, and Su Xiao was like a casual diner, eating barbecue and tasting the wine he brewed.
Hours passed, and Bubu Wang sent back information and found the traces of the Scroll Master.
Scroll Master is in a tightly guarded building in the inner city. He was obviously tricked by his unreliable old friend from the Night Guild, but there is no need to worry about Scroll Master's safety.
After any force captures the Scroll Master, its attitude changes basically as follows: Revealing murderous intent → Coldly interrogating → Knowing the identity → Revealing ecstasy → Gradually becoming kinder and kinder → Treating him as a distinguished guest → Master, you can go anywhere except that you cannot leave the sphere of influence
Master, have you had lunch? How is your lunch? Are you still used to the food here? If you have any requests, just ask.
The strongest scroll master in all the worlds and the top world painter. These two identities alone are enough for any force to treat the scroll master as a guest.
If you think about it this way, there is no need to rescue Scroll Master at this stage. In any case, Su Xiao is a lone hunter. It would be safer for Scroll Master to stay in Twilight City than to act with him.
Even so, we must go to see the Scroll Master as soon as possible. The method that the other party thinks of to kill the undead is what Su Xiao needs. If he encounters the undead later and cannot deal with it, it will be very disastrous.
Apart from this matter, Dark Bishop Bohevar is making good progress with the former nobleman Albers. He has already established a relationship with the old nobleman through several bottles of enhancement potions that are not available in Twilight City. As long as it is operated properly, it will not take long.
, Albers will have certain authority in the inner city.
After waiting in the restaurant for another half an hour, two figures walked in, it was Sias and Wood. After sitting down, Wood said nothing. Although this guy usually doesn't talk much, he is different from Su Xiao's reticence. It can be seen that this guy
Baha, who clicked, asked:
"Wood, what's going on with your expression that you lost a million soul coins?"
"He came for nothing this time."
As a 'good teammate', Sias smiled and said, This is how good teammates are. In the end, they worked together to deal with the enemy before the boss died, but it did not delay the kind of 'good teammates': "What are you unhappy about? Tell me.
Come out and make me happy under' the wonderful friendship.
"He brought the original sin object of the devil tribe. After arriving in this world, he originally wanted to give the original sin object to Twilight City, but he did not expect that there was already an original sin object in the central area of Twilight City, which caused him
The act of 'giving away' original sin objects was almost exposed."
Hearing what Sias said, Su Xiao's eyes became more solemn and she decided not to go to the central part of Twilight City as much as possible.
In addition, the qualifications to serve as the representative team of Twilight City have been won by Sias and Wood. After the two came to Twilight City, they really chose to find a guard captain at the city gate and talk to each other.
, I want to fight on behalf of Twilight City and regain the "Sun Origin Stones".
When the captain of the Imperial Guard heard this, he immediately invited Sias and Wood into the city. Not long after, a big noble met the two and learned that there was another member of the team, and he confirmed that Su Xiao was also extremely powerful.
After leveling up, he immediately agreed that Su Xiao, Sias, and Wood, as representatives of Twilight City, formed a team to recapture the "Sun Source Stones" one by one.
There is a premise for this, that is, the Twilight City team must have a total of four people. In addition to Su Xiao, Sias, and Wood, a mysterious lady must be added. This lady is a powerful person from the Arcane Eternal Star.
The one who is the daughter of nature, Elukelu.
The original situation should be that, headed by Master Soul, a group of spell casters from the Arcane Eternal Star came to surround Su Xiao, but I don’t know what methods Marvin Waltz, Old Destroyer, and the Black Mist Figure used to kill Master Soul.
Waiting for a group of spell casters to block the outside of this world.
The current situation is that Su Xiao and the daughter of nature, Elukelu, are both members of the Twilight City team. If they fight directly in the open, it will not be a slap in the face of Twilight City, but a kick.
, and also stepped on the opponent's face.
Perhaps the senior officials of Twilight City also feel that it is unreliable no matter how the spell destroyers and spell casters happen to form a team. The problem is that the time limit agreed between them and the other two forces is approaching, and they must come up with an average person.
A team with extremely strong combat power.
The senior officials of Twilight City had to face a choice, either to let outstanding members of their family die, or to let the spell destroyers and spellcasters team up, and then pretend not to know about it. Obviously, the senior officials of Twilight City chose the latter option.
By.
Maybe Twilight City really felt that something was not right about this matter, so before the four of them set off, they had to go to the meeting hall in the inner city. The four of them had to sign a contract to ensure that the team would not fight among themselves.
Baha was dumbfounded after hearing Sinyas's narration. Its wings were like hands, pressing on both sides of its head. Because the Sun Star has almost no connection with other worlds in the world, the senior officials of Twilight City did not
I don't know what has happened in recent years. My understanding of Su Xiao, Sinyas, and Wood is limited to the extent that they are law destroyers, demons, and ancient gods. I don't know that two of them are contract masters.
Therefore, the senior officials of Twilight City made two shocking decisions: 1. Let the spell destroyers and spell casters team up, 2. They were about to sign a contract with two contract masters at the same time.
