All the houses they passed through were already dilapidated. The www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion had already been inhabited for a long time, and they cautiously entered a house that looked like it should be an inn.

Tianli glanced up, yes, this is an inn. But I don't know how long no one has been here, and it's covered in a thick layer of dust.

From the oblique signboard, Tianli saw the four words Donglai Inn.

With four floors, this inn is arguably the grandest building in town.

The inn was located next to the square, and from the inn they could clearly see what was happening in the square.

A platform was erected in the square, and a man sat on it. The man sat motionless on the stage, a black cloak covering almost his entire body. On his face, he wore a helmet made of gold, which almost blocked the entire length of his face, leaving only a pair of eyes full of murderous intent.

There was a sword stuck in him, a sword that made people look creepy. It's a human head, yes, a sword that extends out of a human head, and the hilt under that skull looks like a human neck.

The whole sword is pale like a person's white bones, and the head on the sword, obviously only Sensen's white bones are left, but the mouth is still moving one by one, which looks very weird.

Tianli didn't dare to look directly at the sword, because he could actually hear the faint wail coming from the sword.

At this moment, Xue Yao, who was originally just silently following them. He quickly covered his mouth, as if he didn't want to scream.

Xue Yao whispered in an almost imperceptible voice, the voice was always talking to them, and it was like Xue Yao talking to herself.

"That's the sword, that's what I see"

Xue Yao looked a little frightened because of the use of the astrolabe that night. All she saw was the sword with a skull.

"You've seen that sword, that is the sword of the dead that was offered this time"

When Dark Fragrance saw Qing Yu and them, she seemed to know nothing about this sword. So he explained to them in a whisper.

It turned out that a few months ago, the Southern Dynasty and the Western Liang suddenly clashed because of something. Tensions between the two great powers suddenly began to accumulate troops on the border between the two countries.

If there is a war between these two countries, a number of small countries that are already between them will inevitably be affected.

That is, two months ago, when the two countries in the southwest fought for the first time. The fighting was unusually fierce, and there were some small nations and tribes on the border. Either they were forced to choose to attach themselves to one of the countries, or they were affected by the war between the two countries and suffered heavy casualties, and some were even annihilated.

But not long ago, a sudden change occurred. The Warring States that forced the two southwestern countries to stop temporarily.

The reason is that when the two countries are at war, the battlefield shifts around. In the course of two skirmishes, the soldiers of the two countries actually fought collectively. By the time the two countries found them again, the soldiers had turned into zombies.

The two countries have sent troops to destroy these zombies, but the speed of assimilation of these zombies is very fast. And it is very difficult to kill, and the armies sent by the two countries also have soldiers who are constantly assimilated into zombies.

This led to a war that the two countries had to stop at the same time.

Under the pursuit of the two countries, the matter was quickly clarified. It turned out to be on the border, a tribe called the Ke Barbarians. They don't know where they learned the lost art of witchcraft, and they also got a sword of the dead.

The two countries have also sent many masters to destroy this Ke barbarian, although there are many zombies, but they have no combat power. In the eyes of those masters, it is nothing at all.

But when the masters of the two countries attacked the Ke Barbarians with almost no effort. The patriarch of the Ke Barbarian clan used the sword of the dead, and the masters of the two countries were not only killed and wounded. And he was imprisoned by the sword of the dead, and became a slave to that sword forever.

The two countries did not dare to attack again for a while, so they offered rewards on the rivers and lakes to recruit talented people. However, the richest bounties were offered to these small countries in the south, and they were the closest to the Ke Barbarians. And they don't have a strong force, so they have given huge rewards.

After hearing this, Tianli understood why so many people came here. Think about a task that can be paid by several or even a dozen countries at the same time. Don't say whether others will be tempted, just thinking about Tianli yourself is a little excited.

At this time, Tianli seemed to think of something again, and asked Dark Fragrance in a low voice.

"No, according to you. With such a huge bounty, why did these dozens of people come? Isn't that a little too little compared to that bounty?"

Dark incense looked at Tianli with a look that was slightly like looking at an idiot.

"No matter how high the bounty is, there will be a life flower, so many masters in the two big countries in the southwest will never return. Ordinary people, who would run here stupidly! Those who dare to come here now are generally the only ones left. A witcher who often deals with demons."

Tianli finally understands that not everyone can earn the money of feelings.

Dark Incense also told them that the purpose of their visit this time was not to get rid of the Ke Barbarians, they just wanted to steal the Sword of the Dead.

As long as the Ke Barbarians don't have the Sword of the Dead, they have nothing to rely on. As for the remaining zombies, as long as some masters are dispatched, it won't take long to get rid of them all.

At this time, the originally noisy square suddenly fell silent. I was a little surprised that the walking corpses under the platform in the square were neatly arranged in the square like soldiers.

If he didn't know that those were walking corpses, Tianli would really think that they were a group of well-trained soldiers.

And there was more than one black knight they saw at the city gate, and there was one black knight on the left and one on the right in the audience. Wearing heavy black armor, he rode motionlessly on his horse. It seems invisible, but it actually gives people a sense of oppression.

From the dark incense, they knew. It turned out that the two black knights on the left and on the right were the leaders of the two teams of masters sent by the two southwestern countries. It is estimated that the two countries never expected that the masters they sent would now become other people's thugs.

At this time, a thin-looking old man slowly walked onto the stage. Tianli wondered if he was wrong, he was really just an ordinary old man.

Because the distance was a little far, although they could see the old man. But they couldn't hear what the old man said to the man wearing the golden helmet, but from the old man's demeanor, they could probably guess that the old man was reporting something to the man wearing the golden helmet.

It could be seen that the man in the golden helmet seemed to have a lot of respect for the old man. Although the old man reported very slowly, he did not look impatient in the slightest.

It wasn't until the old man finished reading the bamboo slip in his hand and slowly walked off the stage that he stood up all of a sudden.
