Chapter 108: Arriving in the West
Since the sea monster attack, Zhou Fu was obedient to Shi Fu, not to mention that Zhou Meng'er also beat him, the group experienced nearly half a month of sailing, and finally saw the continent of Western Hell, unlike the underworld, the ground of Western Hell is dark red, and from time to time you can see the scene of volcanic eruptions, the battleship walked far around the hell continent, and finally saw the estuary, which is the iconic entrance of the underworld, there are two stone pillars on both sides of the estuary, one is the carved Taishan Mansion of the Eastern Difu, and the other is the Satan of the Western Hellγ
The battleship continued to move forward, and after walking for about an hour, it found a ferry, and the person in charge of guarding it was an old man with white hair and a long robe, and when he saw the battleship landing, the old man said in the language of hell: "One gold coin for stopping the ship, one gold coin for each person going ashore." β
Shi Fu was stunned, obviously did not understand, the old man glanced at the three people who got off the boat in front of him, all of them were faces from the east, so he pondered for a moment, and said in broken Chinese: "Hall Chuan waist and abdomen, gold pen separation, Shang'an golden pen berry person separation." β
Shi Fu understood at this time, but this time it was a tolerance, and it was definitely impossible to pay for it himself, and he didn't have such a thing as a gold pen, so he stabbed Zhou Fu's waist and said, "Hey, pay for it." β
Zhou Fu shook his head and said, "I don't have any money from their side." β
Shi Fu held his forehead with one hand and thought, "This difference is really aggrieved, and I won't give anything." After thinking about it, he said to the old man: "Old man, we are sent by the underworld to carry out the mission, it is tolerance, can you please inform Lord Satan?"
The old man only understood the words 'Lord Satan', shook his head and said, "Belly Qian, Zou people." β
Shi Fu was completely defeated by the old man, but he could only stand in front of the old man and think of a way, suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, took out a bottle of liquor from his pocket, handed it to the old man and said, "Old man, this is our specialty over there, you can taste it." As he spoke, he also made a gesture of drinking.
The old man didn't know why, but he understood the gesture, opened the bottle in confusion, sniffed it with his nose, and the aroma of wine instantly ignited his sense of taste, and after raising his head and taking a big sip, he kept saying in the language of hell: "It's wine, I haven't drunk for a long time, it's so refreshing." After finishing speaking, he looked at Shi Fu and then at the wine bottle in his hand.
Shi Fu suddenly understood, and gave the old man three bottles, the old man took the liquor, pointed behind him, meaning that he was released, Shi Fu bowed his hand, and took Zhou Meng'er and Zhou Fu ashore together.
Shi Fu asked Zhou Fu as he walked, "Have you been here?"
Zhou Fu shook his head and said, "The last time I was closest to the west, I only sailed to half of the Netherworld Black Sea. β
Shi Fu muttered when he heard this: "How can I find my way here, I've been walking for a long time, and I can't see people or ghosts." β
Zhou Meng'er looked at Shi Fu with resentment next to him and said, "I knew that you took a box of wine from me, and you were really willing to give out four bottles at once, and there were only a few bottles in one box." β
Shi Fu turned his head and glared at Zhou Meng'er and said, "I haven't said anything about you when you bring the wine out, hurry up and confess, who gave it to you, I'll settle accounts with them when I go back." β
Although Zhou Meng'er is an older sister, she also knows that she is at a loss, so she didn't talk, but changed the topic and said, "We've been gone for a long time, haven't we arrived yet?"
Shi Fu sneered and said, "Don't change the topic, confess quickly, otherwise I won't even give you food in the future, and let you go to eat the food in the underground." β
Zhou Meng'er trembled all over, and just as she was about to surrender, she suddenly saw dust on the plain in front of her, and hurriedly pointed to the direction in front and said to Shi Fu: "It seems that there is someone." β
Shi Fu turned his head and saw that it was indeed dusty, as if a large group of people had run over, after all, it was not his own territory, and he was not familiar with anything, Shi Fu waved his hand and said: "I don't know who is coming, let's hide first." After saying that, he pulled the two people and hid behind the small hill next to him.
As time went by, the smoke and dust were getting closer and closer, Shi Fu squinted and saw the people clearly, these were iron knights riding monsters like dragons, like the guards of hell, as the distance increased, Shi Fu finally saw their appearance clearly, unlike the ghosts of the Eastern Underworld, the demons of the Western Hell are a bit like monsters, and the lower-level demons are generally very ugly, only when they reach the higher-level demons, the appearance will change, and the demons who can reach the humanoid form must cross the level of the higher-level demons and enter the king level.
After confirming the identity, Shi Fu walked out with the other two people, and greeted them from a distance, and the leader of the Hell Knight's side saw the three of them, puzzled for a moment, and drove the dragon beast to run over.
After seeing each other clearly, the Hell Knight asked in the regional language, "Who are you?"
Shi Fu and the three looked at each other, no one could understand what the demon in front of him said, Shi Fu held his forehead with one hand and sighed in his heart, "How important it is to learn a foreign language and add body." After feeling emotional, it suddenly occurred to him that the other party should at least be able to understand Satan's name, so he thought about it and said to the knight: "We are looking for Satan." β
The Hell Knight did understand the word Satan, but because he didn't know what the other party was going to do, he still showed his weapon, a flame spear, Shi Fu understood that the other party might be mistaken, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, don't fight, we want to find Lord Satan." β
The Hell Knight looked at Shi Fu suspiciously, and the two people exchanged their lips with each other, and at this time, another knight came out of the team of Hell Knights, and said to Shi Fu and the others, "Are you from the Eastern Difu?"
Shi Fu almost burst into tears when he heard this, and shouted: "Savior, you can speak Mandarin, great, we finally found a translator." β
The Hell Knight was a little surprised for a moment when he saw Shi Fu so excited, so he asked, "Are you from the Eastern Underworld?"
Shi Fu replied, "Yes, we have been ordered by the Ghost Emperor to come to Lord Satan to help you destroy the Smoke Demon. β
When the Hell Knight heard this, this was a big deal, and hurriedly translated it to the leader who was the first to come just now, and when the leader heard this, he put away the fire spear, rushed at Shi Fu with his fist, and then hammered it heavily on his chest.
Shi Fu looked at the Hell Knight who could speak Mandarin for some reason, and the other party smiled and said, "This is our courtesy, he is thanking you and thanking you for coming to help." β
Shi Fu let out an 'oh' and did the same gesture to show his gratitude.
In this way, the knights of hell brought three more dragons to the three of them, and several of them returned to Saro City with this group of knights.
Saro City is one of the main cities of hell, covering a large area, but there are not many residents, after all, it is relatively close to the border, so the soldiers stationed here are basically guarding the city.
After the three of them entered the city, they received a warm welcome, and the food and wine of hell were served, and Shi Fu tasted it, which was stronger than the food in the underworld, because the barbecue accounted for ninety-five percent of all the food, and the remaining five percent was grilled fish.
Shi Fu didn't have much appetite, and after eating two bites, he chatted with the Hell Knight who had just translated for them, it turned out that this Hell Knight used to be Satan's bodyguard, and often traveled between the East and the West, so over time he learned the Oriental language, and he introduced himself: "My name is Salar, and I am a high-ranking demon, and it is a pleasure to meet you. β
Shi Fu said: "My name is Shi Fu, and I am the commissioner of the Ghost Emperor, and I am very happy to meet you, otherwise I might not be able to come here." β
Salar asked, "Did you say you were here to help us fight the smoke demons?"
Shi Fu nodded and said, "Yes, the Ghost Emperor received a letter from Lord Satan, saying that the war is urgent. β
"That's probably the city of Kosala, which is an inland city with a lot of civilians, and has indeed sent us a few messages recently asking for reinforcements. β
Shi Fu took a sip of water and said, "Is it far away?"
Salar thought for a moment and said, "Hell can be reached in five minutes, and the distance is not too far. β
Shi Fu asked, "What do the five moments of hell represent?"
Salar replied: "This is the way we keep time, according to the scale, if you convert it to adult time, the moment should be two hours. β
Shi Fu looked at his watch, the position of the hour hand is now in the direction of eleven o'clock, and he felt his own situation, full of spiritual power, full of mental power, if it is ten hours, there should be no big problem, and asked: "Then where is Lord Satan now, do you know where Salar is?"
Salar replied, "Lord Satan should be in the city of Kosara right now, because every time there is a war in Hell, Lord Satan will always be the first to arrive at the battlefield. β
Shi Fu nodded and said, "Without further ado, Brother Sallar, let's set off and hurry to the city of Kosala to ......." β
