This is not a name given to oneself to show off after becoming a king.
Before he became king, Earnhardt II was a hero himself.
"Hero" is just a title for him, not a compliment.
His bravery made him a hero, rather than relying on his status as a king to canonize himself.
His heroic deeds are no longer limited to folk songs, but have even become legends and epics sung and circulated by bards.
Various poems and novels based on him are popular throughout the kingdom.
Although he had never really seen the style of Earnhardt II, Ning Feng could imagine the image of a king who was loved by the people just from the innkeeper's enthusiastic description.
This is a legendary figure who was crowned king as a hero.
Behind Ning Feng, Rhode sighed after listening to the innkeeper's words:
"...This really makes me want to meet him."
He has experienced many adventures and seen many scenery, but he still feels shocked.
Because in today's world, especially in the world of ordinary people, it is difficult for such a being to be called a king to be born.
It's too difficult.
Not to mention that in the world of awakened people, where strength is the most important thing, it is difficult to truly convince others.
The only thing I have heard of is that some remaining groups of extraordinary creatures still have the custom of calling the leader of the race a king.
Want to meet up?
Ning Feng thought about that scene for a while, raised the corners of his mouth, and nodded slowly with a smile.
yes.
I really want to see what a king is.
I'm really curious...what kind of person is qualified to call himself a king?
Chu Yu, on the other hand, was not interested in the king's deeds. When he saw the corners of Ning Feng's mouth rising, he felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.
I always feel that when that time comes, something bad will happen.
As she thought about it, she silently took half a step away from Ning Feng.
Ning Feng:?
The smile on his face faltered, and he finally restrained himself from the urge to look at Chu Yu's expression.
Wait……
Are you serious about taking half a step back?
I haven’t done anything yet! Even if we’re not friends yet, we’re still colleagues, right!?
Is this how you treat your kind colleagues?
Da da.
After tapping the table with a copper coin, the innkeeper coughed lightly and said to me:
"Ahem... That's a bit much to say. A few of the guests are staying in the hotel, right?"
Suppressing his urge to look back, Ning Feng smiled at his boss:
"Yes, as we said before, we want two rooms, and we also hope to provide a dinner for three people."
Nodding with the same smile, boss
"For dinner... we only have brown bread and vegetable soup made by ourselves. Or if you are willing to pay more, I can also ask the kitchen to prepare some meat."
With a clear nod, Ning Feng agreed to the other party's proposal and told him to prepare immediately and send him directly to the room when he was ready.
Perhaps because of Ning Feng's hidden charm bonus, the entire negotiation seemed to go extremely smoothly, and everyone was happy to conclude the deal.
While the boss continued to count the money, he lowered his head and asked:
"It's been a long time since we've seen foreigners like you. Where did they come from?"
Ning Feng thought for a moment, looked at the innkeeper who lowered his head, and said with some meaning:
"You may not have heard of it. It's a very far away place."
Far, far away.
Ning Feng's tone was a bit long, and there was a hint of indifference in his eyes.
Unlike others, Ning Feng can see more.
Ning Feng could see the true face of this innkeeper with a beard and a muscular body, who looked more like a bandit than a boss.
Half of it is shriveled, and the other half is filled with fresh flesh and blood. The two are intertwined together, which is particularly terrifying.
The shop owner in front of me is not alive and should have disappeared into the dust of history long ago.
There is a long distance between us...
More than a thousand years have passed.
The hotel owner obviously didn't hear the emotion in Ning Feng's words. Instead, he raised his head thoughtfully and said:
"It's very far! In this case, I will charge you nine copper coins for the room for the three of you."
"The dinner with meat is one copper coin per person, plus the deposit is one copper coin per person...the total is sixteen copper coins, I'll just charge you fifteen copper coins!"
Without waiting for Ning Feng to reply, the boss swept the twenty copper coins that he had counted several times into his pocket.
Ning Feng:...huh?
Seeing as we are foreigners from a far away place, we don’t have any trouble getting into trouble, right?
Young man, you are taking a narrow road.
Ning Feng looked at the shop owner with some amusement. Ning Feng shook his head with a smile, put the remaining copper coins into his purse, and joked:
"What about the remaining money? Is it the service fee?"
Don't tell me, does this small hotel like yours dare to charge an additional 30% service fee?
The boss looked at Ning Feng who didn't care, and his smile became even brighter. He rubbed his hands and said with a smile:
"The rest is the money I just gave you for the performance, hahahaha!"
Performance?
Oh, that's the poem I just learned from a third-rate bard, right?
Haha, okay.
Sure enough, no matter what era you are in, profiteers will always exist, and street lights are your best destination.
Looking at the innkeeper who was smiling like an old fox, Ning Feng was not angry, but instead smiled and nodded.
"You are right, and I am happy to pay this fee."
Both of them had bright smiles and a good relationship, just like old friends they hadn't seen for many years.
With Ning Feng's emotional foundation laid with money, the store owner enthusiastically walked out from behind the counter and personally led the three of them towards the room.
Having made a huge profit from them, the shop owner didn't say anything about the horse's feed money, but pretended to be generous and said:
"It must be quite hard for you to come here! Don't worry, I will have someone help take care of your horses."
As he spoke, he glanced at the sack carried on Rhode's back and asked somewhat strangely:
"Oh? What are you carrying?"
Rhodes paused and was thinking about how to explain, when he heard Ning Feng, who was walking in front, casually said:
"I'm going to take some specialties I found in the mountains to the royal city to exchange for some money."
Rhodes:...Specialty?
He wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he felt that what Ning Feng said was not wrong.
"Ah, wait a moment, I'll go make arrangements with the kitchen first."
When they turned the corner, the boss left Ning Feng and the others behind and headed towards the kitchen.
"If you can't wait, your room is two connected rooms at the end of the corridor after going upstairs. Just go straight."
Holding the two keys, Ning Feng thought for a while and said to his companions and tool man:
"Let's go first. I'm a little tired. Let's go inside first and take a quick rest."
He and Rhodes' bodies could hold up, but Chu Yu was obviously not a character with outstanding physical strength.
But just when Ning Feng and the others were about to walk upstairs, a hoarse voice came from the shadows around the corner:
"Hello!"
Um!
?
Rhodes' originally relaxed spirit suddenly tightened and he suddenly looked at the shadow.
Hidden in the shadows there was a figure wrapped in rags, lying on the ground, raising his head and looking directly at the three of them.
Looking at the other party's appearance, Rhodes frowned and whispered:
"beggar?"
Beggar?
Ning Feng didn't think this weirdo was just a beggar.
"Don't let them fool you...don't let them fool you!"
Sure enough, the weirdo who exuded a crazy atmosphere straightened up, stared at Ning Feng and the other three, and said quickly in a low voice:
"They have all been deceived by the king's lies!"
"He is not a wise king, Earnhardt is a madman!"
"He is not God's chosen person... No, no, no! God is false! It's all false!
!”
The strange man, who exuded an unspeakable stench and was wrapped in rags, took a step towards a few people.
Perhaps because he had been lying down for too long, his legs were not flexible and he staggered.
Rhodes frowned because of the stench emanating from his body, took a step back and said in disgust:
"Don't come any closer."
But the weirdo didn't listen, and still stepped forward, towards Ning Feng, the only one among the three who did not retreat.
"Hey! Can't you hear me? I said..."
Silently raising his hand, Ning Feng silently stopped Rhodes from stepping forward.
After being stopped, Rhodes subconsciously asked:
"What are you going to do...why are you stopping me?"
But before Rhodes could finish speaking, the rest of the words were stuck in his mouth because of Ning Feng's nonchalant look back.
!
!
At this moment, Rhodes suddenly remembered his current status.
As a companion who failed the test and was forced to "join forces", I have no right to dictate...
Rhodes: "…………"
His cheek twitched, and Rhodes turned his head away from looking into Ning Feng's calm and deep black eyes.
snort.
Can’t I just leave it alone!?
Ning Feng silently withdrew his gaze after Rhodes shut up and continued to look at the odd number in front of him.
There was no disgust in Ning Feng's eyes, nor did his brows wrinkle because of the stench on the other party's body.
Neither speak, nor stay away.
He just watched quietly, letting the weirdo approach, watching him fall down because of anxiety.
Without reaching out to help him, Ning Feng looked down at the strange man kneeling in front of him and let him grab the corner of his clothes.
"Stranger! Get out of here, get out of here, get out of here!"
Raising his head tremblingly, the weirdo stared at Ning Feng, as if he saw hope.
"Everything here is a lie! Everyone is crazy!"
Revealed from the tattered clothes, the eyes that were completely occupied by fear and madness were gradually filled with turbid tears.
"Otherwise... you will also become one of them, blinded, and ultimately everything! Everything..."
The weirdo roared and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a loud noise.
Bang!
!
The loud sound startled Chu Yu. She looked panicked and quickly touched her pocket with one hand while looking warily towards the direction from which the sound came.
The innkeeper who was smiling just now because he had earned a "small amount of money" was now full of surly anger, smashing the wall and yelling at the weirdo:
"Hello!
! Why did you, a damn beggar, sneak in again!? Get out of here!"
Striding towards this side, he grabbed the weirdo's "collar" and lifted him up directly.
"Get out of here!"
The captured weirdo didn't resist, he let go of Ning Feng and cried loudly:
"Dead! Everyone is dead!"
The shrill voice is full of despair and madness, making people feel numb when listening to it.
"You! You are all dead!"
!”
The beggar howled and was dragged and thrown out by the hotel owner, and fell heavily to the ground outside.
"Don't let me catch you walking into my hotel again! Get out of here!
!”
Bang!
After closing the door forcefully, the innkeeper, who was still angry just a moment ago, suddenly turned back to the smiling look before when he turned to look at Ning Feng and the others.
"Oh, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect him to sneak in secretly."
Ning Feng just watched the unfolding with cold eyes and did not stop him. He looked at the shop owner and thought for a while and said:
"You know him?"
The smile froze for a moment, the boss paused and said:
"I know him. How could he not know him? He is originally a very good person and a devout believer."
"He originally came from a very good family, his wife is a kind tailor, and his daughter is only eight years old, but..."
With regret in his eyes, he sighed and said:
"But one day he suddenly went crazy and shouted that we were all dead..."
"Not only did he set his own home on fire, he also pushed his wife and daughter into the burning house. Alas!"
Sighing heavily, the store owner didn't want to talk anymore, so he took the key directly from Ning Feng's hand and walked towards the room first.
"Don't worry about him. I'll let the guys take care of him. He won't bother you again."
Dude? Fight.
It was not surprising that Ning Feng was able to build a hotel in the slums of the royal city with one or two gangsters behind him.
Entering the room, Ning Feng walked directly to the window, opened it, and looked downstairs.
He saw two tall guys downstairs, dragging the weird beggar towards the dark alley while swearing.
But the weirdo didn't struggle and resisted, and kept staring at the sky with his eyes wide open.
Ning Feng's action of opening the window caught his attention, and his dull eyes turned to look at the window on the second floor.
After the weirdo met Ning Feng's eyes, his eyes lit up and his mouth opened and closed silently.
He said silently:
"They're all dead."
"us……"
"They're all dead."
Ning Baobo looked at this scene, and after thinking about it for a while, he nodded to the weirdo.
Then, he closed the window silently!
Bang.
As for the weirdo, after seeing this scene, he was stunned for a moment, and muddy tears flowed from his eyes.
The corners of his mouth widened, revealing an exaggerated smile.
I don't know if you are making fun of me?
Or are you happy?
…
…
Night gradually fell, and when the torches were lit, the whole city suddenly changed its appearance.
Kill.
"Pass the king's order! Seal the city!"
"Lose the city!"
"Catch all the strangers!"
The soldiers continued to pass on the passwords and kept the tasks assigned by the king in mind.
Their voices merged into an angry roar in the night, shrouding the sky over the city.
In conjunction with the dark clouds in the sky, it exploded like angry thunder:
