CH.112 Merlot City
It didn't look like there was going to be much to gain today, so Sora decided to wander around. Although the www.biquge.info of Pen and Fun has become a relatively small focus, most of the people who wander around Merlot City are not interested in such small things, at least it is completely stress-free to let him move freely.
I have to say that although Merlot City is only a small city, all kinds of conditions here are quite good. Adventurers and scattered people from all over the world, whether they are criminals who have committed crimes or members of the Illumination Camp, or retreats who have come to see or merchants who have come to gamble with the mentality of wealth and danger, they are all free to move here.
When he was running on the road before, the black cloak and he accidentally mentioned that if it weren't for the artifact dispute, he might have settled here after escaping purgatory. After all, it's a place of freedom, despite the chaos. Of course, there is no such thing as freedom anywhere for the weak.
Therefore, Merlot City is home to a lot of things that are difficult to find in the main part of the mainland, a gathering of all kinds of people, and a lot of so-called chances. The bazaar here never serves the usual bazaars, but is a noisy and chaotic trading ground, where merchants try to make a difference and adventurers prefer to barter.
"Well, if it's in such a mixed place, it should be convenient to have a merchant as a companion......" At this time, Kong Ming had already arrived at this trading place, although he did want to take his time here and look for some good things, but the noisy and chaotic atmosphere and turbid air currents were intertwined, which made his mood very irritable, and his thinking was also slightly affected.
In the end, Kong Ming still decided to go home, it was too noisy here, and he couldn't find anything good for a while, so he had to wait until the whole city was searched and then do it slowly.
……
"Why, you went out in high spirits today, and you came back with a body of dirt?" Seeing the empty sound of the wind and dust appearing at the door, Nikus, who was fiddling with magic props, directly began to taunt.
Kong Ming frowned slightly, but he held back the rebuttal, and said in a low voice:
"The exchange here is more special than other places...... Your eyesight is relatively expensive, if you have time, how about going to see it tomorrow? ”
"Huh?" Nikos had expected a rude retort, but he was taken aback by this unexpected answer.
Although I learned a little slower and my head was a little stupid, my attitude was okay.
"Surprised?" Kong Ming looked at the black cloak as if he had discovered a new continent, and he almost couldn't help but want to smoke him. But if you can't beat it, don't die, so he was just a little displeased, and he didn't do anything drastic.
"No, I'm just curious when you learned to avoid people......"
"I've always been okay?!"
"Oh, blame me for not realizing it, I'm really a villain, I used to think you were a brain-dead, arrogant, confused, fierce expression, yelling, only eating and drinking, Lazar, a rice bucket orangutan with a stunned appearance, and ......"
"......" Kongming was silent, he felt that he had made the wrong decision, and being humble to this kind of person might only make the other party's ridicule worse.
No, it must be......
"Well, for the sake of your interest, I'll go with you tonight."
"Huh?!" This time it was Sora's turn to be surprised, and it seemed that he was going to grasp his various shortcomings and make a lot of ridicule, but the answer he got was completely different.
"By the way, why tonight?" After calming down a little, Kongming's expression calmed down, and he directly grasped the key point and asked.
"Because if we're still sleeping here tonight, we'll probably never get up." Nikus shrugged his shoulders and pointed to the magic item on the table:
"See for yourself."
It was a prop that resembled a real-time surveillance screen, reflecting the real-time situation of most of Merlot's borders, with a silently burning magic hourglass attached to it; At this time, there were almost the same images on multiple projections, which were the figures of demon beasts running or flying by.
"This one, the bloody skinning snakes, have a pair of huge claws that turn to grasp, and during the day they will sleep in caves or trees; One of the annoying traits of these monsters is that they almost never fight humans head-on, instead grabbing stones and throwing them down during sieges or raids, as well as smashing human structures. There should be pictures in your basic knowledge book, and every offensive and defensive battle with them will never leave a single intact building. ”
Nikos froze the picture, pointing to the blurry blood-colored phantom in mid-air while paying attention to the expression of the empty sound.
Sure enough, Kong Ming still had the expression of "yes, how come I don't know if I have learned who I am, where I am, what am I going to do", for some reason, seeing this dazed and ignorant expression, Nikus's heart suddenly felt a little dark and unhappy.
On the one hand, it is the suppression of knowledge, and on the other hand, it is the helplessness of the other party who can't understand what he says, and he is so entangled unexpectedly......
"Ahem, in short, if you stay in the building tonight, you'll be crushed by the rocks dropped by the bloody skinning snake, understand?"
"Oh, it would be nice to say this earlier, what's the point of you showing off those trivia?" Kong Ming immediately looked like he suddenly realized, but his mouth choked Nikus fiercely, this feeling of being firmly suppressed by his IQ was simply annoying, and he began to wonder if his curriculum was only at the kindergarten level.
"But why did this happen just a few days after we arrived, before we had thoroughly investigated?" Then Kong Ming blinked a little puzzled, he also knew that in this kind of border city, it was indeed a common thing for beast tides and monsters to attack the city, but his extraordinary intuition told him that this was not the case.
"The border city is very vulnerable to monster attacks, it's not like you don't know, there's nothing surprising about it, right?" Sure enough, Black Cloak didn't take his words to heart at all, and he didn't have that inexplicable premonition. Premonition is a thing that comes and goes, although he believes in intuition, but he also has no hope and concept of such a thing as coincidence, after all, everything is predictable, isn't it?
Maybe I'm thinking too much subconsciously...... Probably.
Faction Science: 2 Neutral Faction: In fact, it is the camp with the largest number of people among the three camps, but it can't be accurately called a camp, because the people in it are too loose, and they can probably be divided into scattered people, killer guilds, and some truly neutral or retreating forces (most of them are dark forces, and killers are also part of the scattered people).
