XXXII. The Mysterious Brown-robed Man
Luo Kong opened his eyes and stretched out on the not very comfortable marching bed. Suddenly, his hand touched something cold, and he quickly got up and found the dagger that Sikong Yu had left next to his pillow last night.
Luo Kong picked up the dagger and examined it carefully, a smile on his face.
I saw that the dagger was flowing with silver light all over its body, and a silver dragon was coiled on it, and the blade as thin as a cicada's wings seemed to want to cut a piece apart, so that people did not dare to get too close.
Suddenly, the tent was opened, and it was Sikong Yu.
"You're awake, that's just right, save me any more effort to call you, come with me, you're going to enter the Shadow Swamp today. ”。
"You guys?" Luo Kong was surprised.
"Yes, you don't think you're the only one who wants to enter the Shadow Swamp, do you?" Sikong Yu said jokingly, "You don't know that you've slept all day, do you?"
"What?" Luo Kong jumped up from the bed, his face full of shock and embarrassment.
Sikong Yu nodded and said:
"So let's see if you're drunk to death, and that's the right decision. ”。
Luo Kong put on his clothes in two by three, jumped in front of Sikong Yu, and said:
"I'm sorry, let's go now. ”。
Sikong Yu nodded, turned around and walked out of the tent.
Luo Kong hurriedly followed, took two steps, patted his head, came back and picked up the dagger on the bed and chased out.
Luo Kong caught up with Sikong Yu and asked:
"Sikong Yu, this dagger?".
"This is only kept with you temporarily, we will have another competition in the future, and when the time comes, if you lose, not only will I get the dagger back, but you will have to invite me to drink." ”。
"Then I don't think you can get this dagger back. ”。
Sikong Yu smiled disdainfully and quickened his pace. Luo Kong also stopped talking and followed closely. Soon, they came to a schoolyard and did not go inside, but quietly observed behind the door.
At this moment, the school yard is full of people, some of them are in groups of three or five, as if they are a big family, and some are far away from the crowd, like an island in the sea of ice, and do not communicate with the outside world.
"These are the people who are going to go in and investigate, how can there be nobles?" Luo Kong was surprised, because he found several people dressed in aristocratic clothes, surrounded by the stars beside him.
"Yes, counting more than 100 of you, their strength should not be underestimated, if you encounter it, you must be careful. As for those nobles, they are just here for those false names, and they themselves will not play much role, but their guards are great helpers in exploring the Shadow Swamp, so General Zhu Huan is also happy to let them explore the swamp. ”。
Sikong Yu looked around the school yard, saw a few familiar people, nodded, and finally, his gaze stayed on the person in the corner.
Luo Kong followed Sikong Yu's gaze. The man was covered in brown robes, and his figure was very small, and the wide cloak was draped over him. When the wind blows, the hunt sounds, and it is like a flag.
As if sensing the gaze of the two, the brown-robed man raised his head. The people on the school field moved, and they avoided the sight of the brown-robed man as if they were hiding from the plague, and the commotion did not subside until the brown-robed man's gaze was opposite to Luo Kong's and the two.
Cold and lifeless. This is Luo Kong's intuitive impression of the brown-robed man. In particular, the pair of cold eyes are more like a prison hidden deep underground, and the spirit and courage of people must be pulled into it and tortured.
Fortunately, Luo Kong had seen more terrifying psychological coercion than this, and had also experienced the tempering of hell, although the eyes of this brown-robed man were terrifying, they could not shake Luo Kong's will. Luo Kong met the brown-robed man's gaze and stared at him expressionlessly.
A hint of surprise flashed in the brown-robed man's eyes, but he immediately reverted to his cold look, and he withdrew his gaze and lowered his head again, adding a bit of amusement and ...... to his eyes Joy.
Sikong Yu exhaled softly, patted his chest, and looked at Luo Kong who was casually beside him, and he couldn't help but look at Luo Kong a little higher in his heart.
"Who is that person?" asked Luo Kong softly.
Sikong Yu looked at Luo Kong, smiled again, and said:
"It doesn't seem like you're as easy as it seems. ”。
Luo Kong didn't answer, but a smile rose at the corner of his mouth.
Sikong Yu saw that Luo Kong ignored him, and only felt endless embarrassment, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue:
That person is the "famous" brown-robed man, the Illusion Department Black Iron Ten Star Summoner, Mubar Joan. ”。
Luo Kong could feel that Sikong Yu was full of disgust when he said the words "famous".
Sikong Yu continued: "This guy's summoned beast is a flower that can create illusions, but I have no way of knowing what type of illusions it is. But one thing you need to be aware of is that this guy is far more dangerous than the Shadow Swamp, and if you run into him, run away. ”。
Luo Kong couldn't help but be curious when he heard Sikong Yu being so nervous, he looked at Sikong Yu and motioned for him to continue.
"This guy has two major hobbies, abusing and killing beautiful women and abusing geniuses, and since he became famous in the past few years, I don't know how many geniuses have been tortured and killed. ”。
"Then why didn't the city guards arrest him?".
"The city guards, those guys are rotten, they are a bunch of maggots that breed on money, and they don't know how many heinous thugs like Mubar Joan have been in Baole all these years. ”。
Luo Kong's mind moved, and asked, "Your Majesty doesn't care about it?"
Just as Mubal Joan is sheltered by the City Guards, the City Guards are also sheltered by a larger backer, and that backer alone is not something that His Majesty can easily condemn, let alone ...... Hum. Sikong Yu's face flushed, but he still stopped talking.
Luo Kong was secretly shocked by the complexity of politics, and also recognized Sikong Yu as an upright teenager from his heart.
The young man's blood surged into his heart, and Luo Kong said: "Don't worry, if he dares to be in front of me, I will definitely kill him." ”。
Sikong Yu looked at Luo Kong and said, "Seriously, I believe that you will have the strength to kill this guy one day, but not now." Now all you need to do is protect yourself, and when you meet Mubal Joan, you must run, and don't be a hero. ”。
Looking at Sikong Yu's solemn eyes, Luo Kong nodded heavily with emotion.
"Well, you go in, you're about to go. ”。
Luo Kong looked into the school yard and saw that the people had already finished lining up, and a man who looked like an officer was lecturing.
Luo Kong hurriedly said goodbye to Sikong Yu, and casually found a team at the end. But he didn't notice that in the front of the line, a man in a brown cloak laughed "awkwardly".
"Your task is to engrave a special exploration circle in the place where you have explored, within a radius of one mile, at least one, and settle the commission according to the exploration area, as for what you get in it, it belongs to you, and you don't need to hand it over. ”。
The officer put both hands together, and a huge magic circle appeared in mid-air, and every vein on it appeared incomparably clear in everyone's eyes.
"Alright, you have an hour to engrave this simple circle in your minds. The officer looked at them with contempt, "I don't want to talk nonsense with you, even though there is enough time, so let's get started!"
This kind of magic circle is like this, because the amount of magic used cannot be described, so it means that the formation cannot be copied on paper, and only people can feel how much magic it should use.
Luo Kong stopped talking nonsense, he looked at the magic circle in front of him, imprinted it in his mind as quickly as possible, and began to observe the surroundings the rest of the time.
For a while, most of the people on the field were remembered by him.
Small groups of mercenaries are the most numerous, and they usually take on this dangerous work in order to support their families.
There are also those arrogant noble children, who are not in the minority, and they go deep into the Shadow Swamp not to make extra money, but to seek so-called excitement. Half of them were hugging each other, and there were dozens of family guards around them.
There are also killers like Mubar Joan, who come for a more simple purpose, just for the magical equipment on those noble boys and the treasures in their spatial rings. Sometimes the mercenaries find treasures, but that's only a few times.
Those killers had sharp instincts, and most of the time Luo Kong's eyes had just glanced over for them to notice.
Luo Kong's face was solemn, he knew that this trip would be very dangerous.
