Chapter 14: The City of Miracles!
The personal attribute panel has not changed much, but in the skill bar, next to the green temporary skill Level 2 Wind Grace, there is an additional gray unactivated skill - Bloody Wind Howl. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It should be the mysterious voice that has finally figured out the details of the strange force.
The activation conditions had not been given, and Ling Qi knew it, after all, he had already activated this skill several times.
The skill itself is nothing special, but the effects and consequences of activating the skill are enough to make his heart linger between heaven and hell!
Bloody Wind Howl, a special combat skill! Or a simple sacrificial ritual!
Activate it, according to different degrees, the three attributes of the caster's force sensitive body will temporarily increase by 20% to 200%, and at the same time, the conditioned reflex ability will also be greatly improved, and as long as the blessing limit is not reached, it can be activated multiple times until the three attribute bonuses reach twice the upper limit of the original attribute!
From this point of view, it is not an exaggeration to call it a miracle, but its price-
It's not the blood that Ling Qi thought, it's not the negative state he thought at the time, it's life!
It is something more precious than health, it will not be restored by rest, it is a luxury second only to the soul!
Close the attribute panel, Ling Qi didn't think about it anymore, it was better to live a short life than to die quickly, and a short life was better than a standing fight.
Looking down at Paulus, who was gradually stopping breathing, Ling Qi's heart was ethereal.
There was no mysterious voice to suggest that he had a decline in favorability for a certain force, which was very different from the genre novels he had just recalled and which were all the rage decades ago, but he didn't know much about the cultural industry at the beginning of the century.
If, without the intervention of an invisible force, a perfect murder without witnesses could it be convicted? It seems that the mysterious voices, whether they are the native gods, are far from being omniscient and nosy.
buried a life with his own hands, strictly speaking, this was the first person killed by Ling Qi with his own hands.
There are no regrets, no regrets, and no happiness.
The calm Ling Qi hurriedly cleaned up the battlefield, and he didn't even let go of the corpse of the old emperor, the dead were the greatest, and it was in the era of peace. Use everything available to you to live better. If it weren't for the Wind Sharps talisman obtained by touching the corpse, he would have died many times without the strength of the chicken.
Of course, some things with serious taboo colors can only be abandoned, such as the emperor's gorgeous coat.
The harvest was average, and there were two purses, belonging to Balus and Granry, which, together with his initial possession, made up a small packet of currency.
Due to his lack of knowledge of the value of the currency, Ling Qi was also unaware of the purchasing power of these currencies.
The emperor's short sword was lighter and sharper than the one in his hand.
Although the scabbard was a little fancy, and although the mysterious voice did not give an explanation, Ling Qi still smiled and hid it closely.
The armor is too heavy, give up.
The Assassins were poor and gave up.
In the end, with two short swords, a magic staff, and a bulging money bag, Ling Qi hurriedly left along the royal path prepared for the emperor's escape.
Ten minutes later, at the end of the road, the sewer entrance appeared in front of me.
The foul-smelling sewage can't stop the survivors' footsteps, and any dirty and slippery is a floating cloud.
Destroying three waves of giant rats along the way and hacking down a few wandering goblins, Ling Qi finally emerged from the damp and gloomy underground and appeared in a wilderness!
A large river that can only be vaguely seen on the opposite bank lies in front of you.
The sky is just beginning to turn yellow, and the dawn is approaching.
The yellow earth is covered with piles of weeds, dotted with colors, and the faint fragrance of flowers makes people feel good.
Looking back behind him, Ling Qi couldn't help but be stunned.
"What is this? Underground palace copy?"
Quickly banishing the filthy place from his mind, he looked up into the distance, and a huge city wall could be vaguely seen on his right!
Looking around, farther away is a towering minaret, vague and vague, a pillar of optimism.
"The royal capital?"
Removing the rudimentary lightning staff and hiding it in the grass somewhere nearby, between the rocks, this thing is a bit of an eyesore, and it won't be used for the time being.
tightened his robes, covering the overly ornate dagger even more tightly. Ling Qi, who was in a relaxed mood, resolutely walked towards the city!
The serious lack of information meant that he had to go to populated places as quickly as possible. Even if you know that there has just been a big mess there!
Wangshan ran a dead horse, and the city seemed to be close in front of him, and Ling Qi walked for a full half an hour before he came to the outside of the city.
Fortunately, the grace of the wind has always maintained its effect, otherwise this rugged journey would have been even longer.
Looking at the city up close, it feels different!
Magnificent, majestic, and heavy, this is a natural fortress standing on the waterfront delta, this is a city of miracles!
Several long stone bridges run through the eight roads, crossing the natural ring moat that crosses the river outside the city, like a gray rainbow.
There were no sentry posts on the bridge, only a few rangers patrolling the bridge.
When necessary, it can be a dangerous situation!
It is similar to a stone bridge, but it is not a general structure or size.
Just because of his eyesight, he could see that in the southwest direction, there was a stone bridge that was twice as big as the one in front of Ling Qi's eyes, and it was a miracle building that should not appear in this era!
You must know that the stone suspension bridge in front of him alone is estimated to be hundreds of meters long and more than ten meters wide, which is considered a large-scale project in the era in which he once lived.
The power of magic!
Ling Qi was so impressed, and cautiously passed by the rangers.
Fortunately, his attire did not attract the attention of the cavalry, except for the shabby, in the dim light before dawn, the scattered blood stains also looked more like old patterns.
With a sigh of relief, Ling Qi stepped directly onto the stone bridge deck and took the first step towards the imperial capital.
There were few pedestrians on the bridge, except for him, only a broken ox cart, driven by a ragged old man, who slowly approached him.
The old man was nothing special, he was not a legendary master of pretending, and when he staggered past him, he only glanced at him slightly, and immediately turned his gaze, looking a little afraid.
He has a short sword hanging from his waist, always reminding outsiders that this is a man to rely on.
Walk across the stone bridge and come to the bottom of the city.
The gates were already open, or probably remained unclosed all night, and there were several soldiers on each side of the gate, and on the left side was a shed where a middle-aged man who looked like an officer was sitting.
The soldiers were fully armed, wet with a black glow from the mist, and their posture was neat, but Ling Qi caught the exhaustion on their faces.
There was a little nervousness in his heart, and although the expected rigorous investigation did not appear, it was really not what he wanted to be the only focus.
He regretted a little that he didn't wait until dawn and came in in the crowd, maybe this is a thief.
Then he thought about it, if he was repeatedly seen wandering outside the city by the same group of rangers, wouldn't it be equally suspicious, and wanted to cover it up?
Farther away, he did not dare to go, the unknown wild world, full of more unknown dangers.
How did he know that the news of the emperor's assassination at this time was completely blocked by the parliament.
The soldiers defending the city just glanced at him more, and did not say a word of interrogation.
It was the officer on duty who glanced at him, and then his eyes lit up at the light step.
"Adventurers?"
His gaze swept over the shabby gray robes, and finally locked onto the short sword hanging from Ling Qi's waist. The man, who was particularly ornate in his armor and trimmed with bright yellow and gold, asked casually in a rather friendly tone.
"Yes, sir. ”
Ling Qi smiled at the man and replied politely. Since he did not know the common etiquette of this world, he did not make superfluous moves, so as not to add to the snake.
He could feel that the moment the middle-aged man spoke, the soldiers standing on both sides of the city gate subconsciously held their weapons tighter.
"Well, there's been some movement in the city lately, be careful. ”
The middle-aged officer said this, and the soldiers were no longer on guard, but looked at Ling Qi curiously.
"Could it be that my above-average charm has finally worked?"
Feeling the true kindness, Ling Qi's face was upright and said gently.
"Okay, I see, thank you. ”
Successfully entering the city, Ling Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The streets were fairly clean, surrounded by shops, and it seemed that he had entered a commercial area.
This is a good thing, his biggest gain before, in addition to the wind sharpness amulet, is the bulging money bag.
A wide gravel road leads into the distance, preceded by a small central plaza with lush greenery and cascading flower beds, at the crossroads.
A statue seven or eight meters high sits in the center, and I don't know which hero or god it is, blocking the view.
The statue is surrounded by a guardrail, dotted with vines and plants, too far away to see the variety.
The shops on both sides are sturdy and durable, roughly three storeys high, and all of them occupy a large area.
There were signs outside the store, hanging at the door, but unfortunately the mysterious voice did not make him understand the meaning synchronously.
Synchronizing language is not the same as synchronizing text.
However, how could this little trouble be difficult for Ling Qi, get closer, smell the smell in the air casually, look at the patterns on the signs, and listen to the occasional movement inside, it is not difficult to judge what kind of business it is.
The sword shop is closed at this time.
Twenty-four hour supermarkets and KFC would not have appeared in this era, so only pubs and inns never closed.
Through the clothing and architectural style of the scattered pedestrians, Ling Qi found that this place was very similar to his hometown, the medieval period of Western civilization.
The productive forces are backward, the people are ignorant, and science is still in its infancy.
If there is no magic, of course.
It was a miracle, a miracle that would put mechanical civilization to shame!
Picked a tavern with a large bowl painted on the sign at the door, and Ling Qi pushed the door in.
From time to time, the smell of wine wafts from the store, and the fire is dim, but it is also quiet.
The early arrivals also brought the cold wind that came with the door, and in the late autumn season, the weather in the early morning was not cool, and it was already stained with the cold of winter.
The shop was very clean, seven or eight tables were empty, and only the sleepy guy shrunk his neck behind the counter and woke up.
"You, hello, sir, may I ask what you need. ”
The crisp voice, gray cotton clothes, dressed like a boy, and slightly bulging breasts prove that this delicate-looking waiter is actually a girl.
Ling Qi walked to the counter and looked carefully, only to realize that the slenderness between the girl's eyebrows was a Western beauty embryo.
Judging by this, he didn't take any more interest in her, unless she could bring some kind of power or benefit to him.
"Are there any rooms available?"
Usually pubs have lodging services, and this judgment is not entirely based on speculation.
The layout of this building already says something.
Sure enough, the girl glanced at him, her gaze resting on his dagger with a sudden expression.
Another adventurer!
These people say that they are home from all over the world, and if they don't sound good, they have no fixed place.
"This, there is only one suite on the third floor left in the guest room, and it costs two silver coins a day..."
The girl hesitated for a while, and said very tactfully, it was really Ling Qi's outfit that didn't look like a rich man.
Of course, as a tavern waitress, even the lowest level adventurers are not something she can offend, so her attitude is very polite and there is no inexplicable arrogance.
Two silver coins?
Ling Qi didn't know the conversion between currencies, so he directly took out a gold coin and threw it on the table.
"Is that enough?"
Money comes easily, and you don't feel like it's spent.
"Enough!
The girl was overjoyed, and picked up the gold coin like a baby, and secretly said that people should not be disgraced.
"Would you rather stay for one night, or..."
Pitiful eyes, clutching the gold coin tightly, it seems that he doesn't want to let go.
"Bookkeeping, lead the way. ”
Even the Blade Guardian had killed one, the flame of hope in the world was still in his arms, and the heavy pressure was lingering in his heart, Ling Qi was really too lazy to talk to passers-by.
The cool expression and vicissitudes of life made the girl lose her mind for a while. The charm of the gold coin is enough to make Ling Qi's already good appearance even more dazzling.
After a long day of twittering, the incoherent waiter hurriedly took Ling Qi to the third floor, and even hinted many times that as long as a few cute little silver coins, she would be his person tonight.
How could the tired Ling Qi be in this mood, he had a lot of secrets. Impatiently dismissed the girl, inspected the three-bedroom suite again, and made some simple warning devices at the door and in front of the window, so that he could lie down on the big bed covered with soft cushions with peace of mind.
Tired, really tired.
Before coming to this place, he had not slept for more than 30 hours in a row, and the terrorist act was really not something that people could do, and every step was terrifying.
The unexpected rebirth restores the fatigue and injuries of the body, but the mind is weakened by repeated drastic changes.
He needs to rest, he needs to let his brain sleep, he needs to let his soul relax.
The snoring gradually rose, and Ling Qi fell asleep...
