Chapter 71: News of New Allies
Rock Castle.
In contrast to Reynas, the name "Rock Castle" seems to have something inherently connotations in Demingham, which seems to have been given purely for the sake of naming.
This is not to say that this place is a stone castle, but because it is a city built in the mountains, and more than a decade ago, huge stone houses and exquisite stone sculptures were the main theme here, but because of its proximity to the city of Enser, and the discovery of abundant iron and coal mines in the mountains in recent years, the wave of the Industrial Revolution has finally swept this historic city.
More than half of the magnificent and delicate stone cities have disappeared into huge chimneys that stand in the middle of the city, the steel produced by the factories has replaced the stones in the mountains as a more sdemandable material, and the houses are no longer built entirely of stone, but have been replaced by reinforced concrete structures in the city of Enser, and even the urban structure has begun to deflect towards the industrial city.
It has to be said that this has raised the economic level of the Rock Castle in a short period of time, and the local people's money bags are swelling at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.
However, no matter what you want to accomplish, there is always a price to pay.
Rock Castle was originally a famous art city in the county, and the favor of artists for this stone city made it one of the largest in the art world for a long time in the central region of the Lane Empire, and because of this, the city's opera halls, amphitheaters, concerts, and various performing arts have developed significantly.
However, today's large-scale factories brought about by the industrial revolution have poked this originally strong artistic atmosphere in all directions, and can only end in a bleak end.
Of course, the artistic atmosphere accumulated over decades is not so easy to dissipate.
To this day, there are still talented artists who show their talents here.
"Ah~uh~ah~"
Taking a sip of water, someone stood on the windowsill and opened her voice, her hands folded on her waist and abdomen, and she sang in a clear and elegant bel canto style, Rao was facing the chimney with a steady stream of black smoke in the distance, and she still had a gentle smile on her face.
After singing a whole part of the opera and adjusting her voice to its best, the girl put down her long hair that had been curled up when she got up, and turned back to her room.
Standing in the center of the room, looking around the four walls covered with lantern flower wallpaper and large pictures of singers, she shook her fists as if to cheer herself up, and then walked quickly to the window, opened the drawer, and took out the pale blue emblem, a silver five-stringed harp decorated with leaves.
"Thank you for your inspiration and talent, and I will live up to your expectations of me!"
Kissing the emblem, looking at the slightly shiny five-stringed harp, listening to the beautiful music ringing in her ears, the girl squinted and enjoyed this beautiful moment.
"Shelly, are you ready, you're about to leave for the opera house in front of you. ”
Someone shouted outside the door, and the handle creaked as it turned.
"Ready, I'll come out!"
Putting the badge back in her drawer, the girl named Shelly got up to tidy up.
Si Xi Suo ~ Xi Xi Suo ~ The strange whisper in her ears made the girl's footsteps stop abruptly halfway, her face changed suddenly, her eyes flashed with light, and her ears vibrated slightly.
"Linda, I'm sorry, the buttons of my clothes are open, you go first, I'll change my clothes and come over immediately. ”
Xie Li put her hands together as she spoke, and then opened it to the door again, a thin barrier like a film of water sealed the door to ensure that no one would break in, and then said,
"Come out!"
There was a strange noise from the balcony of the room, and Shelly immediately turned her head to look over, and saw a sexy woman in a revealing leather coat who appeared there at some point, leaning against the railing, winking at herself.
"Demon Contractor...... How did you find it here!"
Just by looking at each other, the girl recognized the identity of the other party, and with a flick of her right hand, a bright silver sword immediately appeared in her hand.
"Hey, beautiful girl, we're not stupid, we received the news of the miracle near the Rock Castle two months ago, and if we can't find you, the Chosen One, for so long, our intelligence skills will be too poor. ”
The Demon Contractor twisted his slender waist into the room, turned back and closed the balcony window, and casually applied a seal,
"There's a question, I wonder if you can answer me...... When did you become the Chosen One?"
Qiang~
The sword was unsheathed, and in a flicker of cold light, the blade stabbed into the heart of the demon contractor.
It's just that he was dodged by the demon contractor halfway, bent down and got closer, and the distance between the two sides was instantly shortened, and the two pretty faces were no more than a punch apart.
"It's useless, the god you believe in can't fight at all, even if you get her favor, the god-given talent won't help you at all, seduction, knowledge, soundwave...... There are so many choices, you have only been gifted for less than two months, what are you going to use to defeat me?"
The left hand snapped the girl's wrist at great speed, and the right elbow hit the throat.
As the Chosen One, the girl naturally has the means, opening her mouth to let out a strange syllable, and the air around her body exploded as if it were vibrating, and the Demon Contractor immediately retreated, and a backflip widened the distance.
"No matter how you found me, since you appeared in front of me, be prepared to give up this part of your soul fragment!"
With his backhand, he stuck the sword in front of him, took out the five-string harp necklace hanging from his neck, and held it with both hands, and the harp became a normal size in just a few seconds.
"So, I underestimated you?"
Rose-red eyes changed in the blink of an eye, the iconic demon's vertical pupils appeared, the thorny whip fell from the demonic contractor's hand, and a faint wail rang out in the small room.
"You will pay for your arrogance!"
Xie Li stopped talking nonsense, her slender fingers kept plucking the harp, and the melodious sound waves shook the air at this moment, all that could be seen with the naked eye was the distortion of the air, but the demon contractor facing Xie Li could feel the oppressive force rushing towards her.
"Haha~"
With his arms on his chest, the Demon Contractor had no intention of defending himself at all, and looked directly into Xie Li's eyes,
"Is this your hole card, as expected, the silver five-stringed harp, an unexpected curiosity, if you are given some more time, it may be a little troublesome to dispose of you again, now...... We accepted this gift!"
Before the words fell, the Demon Contractor unfolded the scroll held in his hand in advance, different from Xie Li's sonic impact, a misty singing voice fluttered out of it, and the sonic impact that was about to hit the Demon Contractor immediately disappeared invisibly.
......
"Who are your friends at Rock Castle?"
On the carriage of the journey, Donald flicked Finger's tail and asked Chariss with some doubts,
"Why didn't you go to her before, but wandered around East Germany for so long. ”
"She's in a similar situation to me, when I was being hunted by a demonic contractor, and so was she...... Anyway, I couldn't get help from her at that time, and going to her would only cause her trouble. ”
Chariss kneaded her eyebrows, thinking a little bored about the recent situation and the information that Donald had revealed before.
"Going to her now won't cause her trouble?"
"The situation has changed, I thought that the Demon Contractor followed me because of an accident after a chance encounter, and the information you got from the Demon Dependents proves that it was not an accident, but a premeditated operation, I am afraid that she will also be hunted down by the Demon Contractor, instead of hiding in fear, it is better to act with us, she will be our new ally...... You can rest assured that her interests are the same as ours, and she can also help us in terms of ability, in short, you will know after meeting her. ”
On the premise of knowing that the Demon Alliance began to invade the world, Charis had to speed up the pace of the plan, in fact, the friend in her mouth originally existed as a hidden ally in her plan, but unexpectedly, Charis did not want this hidden ally to become a "disappearing ally", and the two sides weighed before choosing to reveal the news to Donald.
Of course, it is natural to change the rhetoric about Donald.
"New ally, I hope it goes as smoothly as you say. ”
Glancing at Chariss in thought, Donald did not interrupt her, but muttered to himself and remained silent.
