Since the magicians were unwilling to get close to the cursed place, Liu Xiao and the others could only go to the nearest abandoned castle to receive this magical baptism.
This time, under the strong protest of several middle-level employees of the Chamber of Commerce, Liu Xiao had no choice but to bring ten fully armed orc warriors, as well as the undead Kota and the half-orc saint Rosa.
Rosa's strength is also the top among the half-human clan, but now as Liu Xiao's personal maid, she serves her master more in daily life and has no chance to participate in battles.
But once the master wants to go out, Rosa will transform into his personal bodyguard, the kind who is always around him 24 hours a day.
In addition to these, Liu Xiao, who was sitting in the carriage, looked out through the window and saw ten knights, fully armored and armed, riding tall horses, tightly surrounding him.
Each of these knights exudes the aura of a high-ranking and powerful man! According to Arthur, each of them has the ability of an eighth-level golden knight, and is very good at immediate combat and team combat capabilities. They are all fierce men who can defeat a hundred.
!
Under such an iron-wall-like protection, Liu Xiao's carriage was filled with Cotta and Arthur, and Rosa and Bronte were with them in the carriage. It can be said that the group crossed the pass and walked out of the cursed land.
, came to the outside world for the first time.
Liu Xiao had heard from Abu and the others before that the cursed land was surrounded by swamps on three sides, and the only river leading to the outer sea was occupied by a ferocious evil beast.
Therefore, under the premise that the waterway is impassable, there is only one road left to connect with the outside world.
It is still controlled by the Kingdom of Orange, and people inside are not allowed to come in and out at will. Only traveling merchants can do business under the premise that the procedures are complete.
However, today was the first time Liu Xiao walked out of the cursed place after entering another world! This made him feel as if Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden.
When they stepped out of the official checkpoint, everything around them seemed to have changed.
Liu Xiao felt the change. He felt like a short-sighted person suddenly put on glasses, and everything around him became clearer and more vivid!
However, the air that was originally extremely rich in negative oxygen ions has become purer! Even breathing can make him detect a hint of sweetness~!
This high concentration of oxygen rushing towards his face made Liu Xiao's head feel dizzy.
Faced with this phenomenon similar to altitude sickness, Liu Xiao hurriedly controlled the movement of fighting energy in his body, and then returned to normal.
"Boss Liu, you have now officially set foot on the land of Orange. On the southern continent of Oden, the Kingdom of Orange is one of the seven kingdoms.
The national power of these seven kingdoms is almost the same, the land area is not much different, and the seven kings are all heroes who work hard to govern! Therefore...a short-term balance was formed.
However, our Orange Kingdom is currently at war with the neighboring Hudson Kingdom to the north. Thanks to Boss Liu’s magic potions, our Orange Kingdom’s battle situation has been extremely smooth~! We have also captured several very important fortresses in one fell swoop.
!Here, please allow me to express my heartfelt thanks to you once again~!”
Liu Xiao didn't react on the surface, but secretly said in his heart, "Sure enough!"
In the real world, those ubiquitous drugs can have extraordinary effects when placed in another world!
If those traditional Chinese medicinal materials on the street can be made into various magic potions, then the effects that Chinese patent medicines such as cold granules can achieve must be even more incredible!
It seems that I can try it on the employees of the Chamber of Commerce.
Liu Xiao made up his mind, then waved his hand and said: "You're welcome, Lao Bai~~ We are business alliances and friends, this little thing is nothing to worry about~! Besides, I'd like you to find it for me this time.
The palace magician casts blessing magic~~By the way, Lao Bai, are you really sure you don’t need me to pay anything in return?”
Brandy chuckled and said: "Boss Liu is serious! It is our honor to serve you~~ In addition, you did not accept the title gift from His Majesty the King, so this time our Majesty will send Weiss, the chief court magician in the palace.
Mr. Te was specially sent to serve Boss Liu!"
"Hey~ Or the chief court magician? Then his blessing magic must be more powerful~!"
Brandy nodded and said: "Indeed, Mr. West is not only the chief court magician of Orange, but also holds the title of director of the Continental Magician Association, which is equivalent to an eighth-level archmage!
He can skillfully use more than a hundred types of magic! And very coincidentally, blessing magic is his area of expertise~! If other mages can only apply blessing magic for three days, Mr. West's magic can last for six days! And!
The effect will not weaken with the passage of time. Mr. Liu, feel free to use it~!"
Liu Xiao's eyes lit up when he heard this. Can the secret channel last for six days? And it won't weaken as time goes by? Okay, okay~~~ He must enjoy all the blessing magic mastered by Mr. West! Give it to him
Let’s use a magic horse to kill a chicken~!
I'm afraid he is the only one in this different world to receive such treatment, right?
The convoy continued to move forward. After passing through a relatively uneasy stone road, the bumps gradually disappeared and the road became wide and smooth.
After Blondie's introduction, Liu Xiao learned that this place was already considered the official road of the abandoned fort.
Liu Xiao curiously opened the carriage screen and looked out, only to see that the increasingly widening road was so solid and smooth, and the trees along the road were obviously planted deliberately.
In addition, the closer you get to the ruined castle, the more pedestrians and carriages are around.
As the group of people got closer to their destination, Brandy also began to introduce the castle to Liu Xiao.
"Boss Liu, please look at this. Although this is just an inconspicuous small town in the south of the Orange Kingdom, it is backed by a cursed land. Many adventurers who want to try their luck in hunting evil beasts will choose to stay here.
Or serve as a transit point.
Therefore, the prosperity of the ruined castle has a great relationship with its location! And strictly speaking, this castle is not included in the rule of the Kingdom of Orange.
The reason is very simple, no one wants to stay so close to the cursed place! Because once the red moon comes and the evil beasts inside change and go crazy, the ruined castle will undoubtedly be the first to be attacked.
It is also for this reason that the owner of the abandoned fort has always been a powerful person! The current owner of the abandoned fort is the leader of the ‘Lai Scar Mercenary Group’, a hobgoblin-Nurvok.”
Liu Xiao was about to ask a few questions, but found that the carriage team had already passed the wide road. Liu Xiao looked up and saw a black city wall with many broken walls blocking their front.
Although this city wall is dilapidated, it gives people the illusion of being extremely strong.
The top of the tall bell tower was cut in half, but there were still many soldiers standing on the open-air observation deck.
The gap in the damaged and collapsed city wall has been cleared into a passage specifically for carriages to pass through.
On those remaining intact city walls, Liu Xiao could also see some heavy city defense weapons.
Those heavy weapons were wiped clean and bright, which also shows that the owner here attaches great importance to city defense and armaments and is not a mediocre person.
Since Liu Xiao and his party had the cavalry of the Orange Kingdom's Guards clear the way today, they skipped the city gate inspection procedures and drove directly into the city.
After entering the ruined castle, the flow of people on the street suddenly increased~! This is a scene that you will never see in the cursed land.
Liu Xiao also noticed that the majority of the residents here are humans, and residents of other races are also mixed together, making the composition of the people quite diverse.
In addition, as Abu and the others said, the economic situation of the residents in the abandoned castle is infinitely better than that in the cursed land~!
At least everyone here has clothes to wear, doesn't urinate and defecate anywhere, and looks quite healthy.
Another point is that you can often see small groups of adventure teams on the streets of the ruined castle.
They were wearing heavy cloaks and carrying various weapons as they passed through the streets.
Some of them looked excited and were talking about something, while others lowered their hoods and walked in a hurry, as if everyone had their own things to do.
Seeing this, Liu Xiao suddenly remembered a few words that Brandy had just introduced to him.
"By the way, Lao Bai, you just said that the Abandoned Castle is a land without an owner. What does it mean when the red moon comes and the evil beasts go crazy?"
