Chapter 5: The Swamp of Shadows

Chapter 5: Filming the Swamp

Looking at the lovely Qixiang, Zilong gently stroked her show, and said lovingly: "In this case, then my brother will take Qixiang to the Flade Academy, let's take a look at what the largest city in Lixi Big 6 will look like, by the way, let's go to their library to see if the information in it is so much as the legend." [ 八一 (Chinese?[?) [ ]]].]8〉1〕Z]].COM”

Facing Zilong's gaze, Kasoqixiang showed her characteristic sweet smile and said happily: "Great, great, Qixiang has long wanted to read the books in the library of the Flade Academy, but she has never had the opportunity." Kasochixiang looked around, now all the grass was green, the strangest thing was that there was a clump of grass taller than the towering tree beside her, but she had never seen anything in the outside world, she just regarded it as a strange plant, and she was not too surprised, her eyes swept directly over the tall grass, and then she continued: "How are we going to go, I don't know where the city is?"

"I don't know, we can ask. With that, Zilong took Kasoqi incense and her shadow incense and walked towards the ancient city of Yue, leaving this towering giant grass caused by the 'life source liquid' standing in the vast grassland, but he did not expect that in a few years, this would become the most important symbol of the ancient city of Yue.

Due to the fact that Kasochika's physical strength is not very good, she walks slowly. After a long time, they entered the ancient city of Yue. Xiangpige has already restrained the smell of his whole body, so he doesn't have to worry about causing any trouble. At the city gate, Zilong paid special attention to the old lady selling groceries, but to his surprise, the stall had been replaced by a young man selling snacks.

Zilong couldn't help but step forward and asked the young man, "Excuse me, where did the old man who sold groceries here yesterday go?"

"What old man, why don't I know that I've been setting up a stall here?" said the young man without raising his head, and his tone was also very impatient.

"She was still here yesterday, how can she ......" Zilong directly filtered his attitude and continued to ask patiently.

Without waiting for Zilong to finish speaking, the young man raised his head sharply and interrupted Zilong's words, "What, someone dared to occupy my place yesterday." Tell me who took my place, I have to find it, it's going to have to be paid. ”

"You really don't know where that old man is?" Zilong was skeptical of the young man's answer, and asked again. However, in exchange for a polite sentence from the young man, "I said I haven't seen it, if you want to buy something, don't bother me." ”

Even if Zilong has a lot of energy, he is also a little dissatisfied with the attitude of young people. But he didn't want to meet such a little person in general, so he didn't say anything, so he took Kasoqixiang and walked towards the employment club in Yuegu City. He needed to know the address of the city, and if it was far away, he needed the means to get around. Otherwise, with the physical strength of Kasochika, I don't know how long it will take to get there.

After not taking a few steps, Kasoqixiang suddenly pulled the corner of Lazilong's clothes. Zilong stopped walking, looked sideways at her, and asked softly, "What's wrong?" Are you tired of walking, then let's rest for a while before leaving." ”

Kasochixiang showed a shy expression, lowered her head, and whispered, "Big brother, I'm not tired." It's just that I'm a little hungry, and so is my fragrance, can we eat something before leaving?"

Suddenly, Zilong was embarrassed, he forgot that although he could go without eating for a few days or even months, Kasoqixiang couldn't. Zilong was a little embarrassed about his carelessness, and said apologetically: "Well, I'm really sorry, it's all my brother's fault, let's find a place to eat now." ”

Kasochixiang nodded obediently, and followed closely behind Zilong without leaving an inch. Zilong inquired about the largest hotel in the ancient city of Yue, and then walked towards the target with Kasoqi incense. After a while, the two of them were already standing in front of a restaurant called 'Welcome Restaurant', the scale of this hotel is simply small compared to the Tianji Hotel on Xiangyun Big 6, but the aroma of delicious food and wine wafting from it is very attractive.

After entering the hotel, a waiter greeted Zilong, greeted Zilong warmly, and took him to a quieter place to sit down. After ordering a few dishes that he liked to eat, the waiter left. A moment later, the table in front of them was filled with sumptuous dishes.

Inspired by the deliciousness, Zilong also ate a few bites with Kasoqixiang. This 'Welcome Restaurant' is worthy of being the largest hotel in the ancient city of Yue, and the food is indeed delicious. However, there was not a trace of meat in the dishes on the table, all of them were vegetarian dishes, and he couldn't help but whisper to Kasoqixiang: "Qixiang, why is there no meat to eat here?"

"What?" Kasoqixiang suddenly looked at Zilong with some horror, and his face was a little pale. However, thinking of Zilong's strange forgetfulness, his face was slightly better, and he explained in a low voice: "Big brother, you must not say such things in the future, otherwise you will be considered a bad person." On the Lixi Big 6, only the people and shadows have flesh on their bodies. Do you want to eat the flesh of a man or a shadow?"

Casotika's words made Zilong understand that there are no animals in this world except for shadows. Moreover, the shadow of wanting to eat people here is undoubtedly the same as cannibalism. It's no wonder that Kasoqixiang reacted so much, and Zilong was secretly glad that he didn't ask loudly. Otherwise, people will hear that they will think that they are man-eating demons.

But what he feared was still born. A man at the next table heard him. The man was extremely thin and thin, and the shadow around him was in the form of a dog. And what Zilong said just now was also heard by his shadow. As the saying goes, if a person is not right, the shadow is also crooked, which should fit in the body of this person and a shadow. When the dog heard Zilong's words, he told the man.

A gleam flashed in the man's eyes, and a lewd smile appeared on his face, staring at Zilong with a strange gaze. And all of this is in Zilong's perception. He knew that this person had bad intentions and that trouble was about to come up again, so he couldn't help but sigh lightly, and then continued to eat something.

After Kasochixiang was full, Zilong was ready to pay. When the hotel owner showed that he took out the top nameplate, he was very courteous and gave a five-fold discount. In his polite words, it is difficult to see the top mercenary, and it is worth it to get this opportunity to be remembered by the supreme mercenary at a fifty percent discount. However, when the man with the shadow of a dog saw Zilong's nameplate, he was stunned at first, and then smiled more and more cunningly.

When Zilong and Kasoqixiang left the 'Welcome Restaurant', the man also quietly followed, following them closely. Of course, this can't be hidden from Zilong at all. It's just that he wants to find out what this person's intentions are, and if it's just because he said something wrong, he probably won't do it, right?

With this doubt, when he came to the door of the employment club, Zilong glanced back at the man, then entered and found Dramine. This time, she didn't seem surprised as if she knew that Zilong was coming. Maybe it's because Zilong has brought her too many suspicions, and it's not surprising that anything weird is born in Zilong's body. Drami bowed slightly, greeted respectfully, and said, "Your Excellency, is there anything you need my help with?"

"I want a mission, and I need someone to lead the way to the city of Flaida. Moreover, it is also necessary to prepare a means of transportation, and the commission is ten weights. Zilong lightly left this sentence, which shocked Dramie again.

"What?" said Dramy, who immediately covered his mouth. She first looked around, and when she was sure that no one had noticed them, she let out a sigh of relief and said, "Your Excellency, do you know what ten weights mean? This is the living expenses of an ordinary person for five years, and the task you have assigned only needs a tenth of it. ”

For Dramywei's kind reminder, Zilong smiled back. Just as he was about to speak, a sharp and unpleasant voice came from behind him, "Dramivy, why should this gentleman stop this task if he wants to set it up? ”

Looking back, it was the same person who had followed them all the way, and he couldn't help frowning, but he didn't speak again.

"Karachith, how can you do this. As a top-level mercenary, you should know the rules of the merchant, and if you do anything out of the ordinary, be careful that the city lord of Delier Hua will know and severely punish you. Dramy glared at Karachith and said solemnly. Unlike others, she knew that Zilong was a pure-blooded nobleman, and even if she offended the villain Karachith, she couldn't make this adult feel a little unhappy.

How can there be such a top merchandise? Zilong looked Karachith up and down, thinking secretly in his heart. However, the man didn't seem to care about Zilong's suspicious gaze, but instead tilted his head, wanting to show the style of a master. It's just that the lewd face and thin figure make his movements seem a little ridiculous.

"Dramie, this gentleman hasn't said he agrees yet, why did you deny it first?" Immediately, he looked at Zilong with a thief's 'dog eyes', and continued with a smile: "You will definitely use mine, right?" I am also very familiar with the city, and I believe that I will definitely be satisfied with the guidance of a supreme powerhouse. Hehe, the dishes of the 'Welcome Restaurant' are really getting more and more unpalatable, and there are only a few dishes that are turned over and over. ”

With such an obvious hint, Zilong certainly knew what Karachith was referring to. Although I was unhappy in my heart, it was not easy to kill in front of such a person. But it was not what he wanted to say yes, and he didn't want to keep this untold person by his side. Just when he was in a dilemma, Karachith glanced at Kasoqixiang and said in Zilong's ear in a subtle voice that only the two of them could hear, "Miss Cassel is really cute. However, it doesn't seem that no one can approach her, as is rumored, if Lord Cassel knows......"

How does this man know so much?

Zilong turned his head to look at Karachith with a fierce spirit in his heart. If Casorio really knew about it, Nachika would definitely be brought home. But that wasn't what he and she were hoping for right now. Glancing at Casochia beside him with pity, he immediately turned his head and commanded Drami in a cold voice: "Do as Lord Karachisi says." ”

"Your Excellency, but ...... This ......" Dramivy didn't expect Zilong to actually let Karachith take his task. She knew that although that person was a top-notch servant, he was not worthy of his identity at all, and almost all kinds of shortcomings such as despicable and shameless deeds could be found in him. Anyone who knows this, will not hire him. However, now that Zilong had made a decision, Dramivy didn't dare to question it anymore. I had to take notes and give Karachith a confirmation letter, though it was just a situation.

Karachith smiled proudly, raised the confirmation in his hand and said, "Thank you, Miss Dramie, you seem to be exceptionally beautiful today, and I really want to invite you to have dinner with me when I have time." However, as you can see, I'm very busy right now, so I have to wait until next time, so don't be angry. ”

No matter how beautiful the compliments and invitations came out of his mouth, they only made people feel disgusting, and Dramie just glared at him in response. No matter how filthy and obscene Karachith is, he has to admit that his strength is indeed very strong. In just four years, he has gone from a penniless low-level helper to a top-notch helper today. Among them, he may have used unknown means, but to have today's achievements must have a certain strength as a premise.

"Alright, your Excellency, you are now my employer, I will go and prepare a means of transportation for you, please wait here for a while. With that, Karachith carefully put away the confirmation and turned and walked out of the employment club.

Seeing Karachith walk out, Drami whispered a slight reminder to Zilong to be on guard, and told him what kind of person that person was. For these, Zilong had already been mentally prepared, and if there was a better choice, he would not let Karachisi take over this task. However, since the wood is already in the boat, we have to prepare for the worst, and the most important thing is to protect the Kasoki incense.

After a while, Karachith walked back with that characteristic ugly smile, his figure attracted everyone's attention, as long as it was a servant, who would not know this sinister supreme master? Of course, because of his reputation, everyone looked at him with a strange look, but he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, after all, a top mercenary was not something that a person of their level could provoke.

"Your Excellency, the energy train is ready for you, will we go out now?" Karachith didn't care about other people's eyes at all, and walked straight to Zilong and said politely. It's just that in this way, everyone's gaze at Zilong has changed a little, as if it is a sin to be with Karachisi.

In this case, Zilong could only choose to leave as soon as possible, and couldn't help but chin lightly and walked out with Kasoqixiang. A strangely shaped car was parked in front of the mercenary clubhouse, and the whole of the vehicle, known as the mobile car, was only one car with four people left. At the rear of the car, there is a tall independent seat, which seems to be prepared for drivers, and in front of the mobble, a ball of blue energy light is constantly rotating, absorbing the aura between heaven and earth, and is the power device that provides the power before the mobble.

At this time, Karachith came over and personally opened the car door for Zilong and Kasoqixiang. Zilong glanced at him, and motioned to Kasoqixiang to hold his shadow Xiangbi to board the energy train first, and he seemed to unintentionally lean into Karachi's ear, and whispered to explore the other party's intentions: "What do you want?"

"Your Excellency, I have simply accepted your assignment, and I am very satisfied with it. Karachith replied with a pretended sincerity.

Of course, Zilong won't believe his words, but since he wants to pretend to be deep, asking again is like wasting time, if there is really something to do, he believes that he can handle it. Glancing at each other, Zilong boarded the car. Karachi chuckled twice, then closed the door of the moot and sat in the driver's seat behind him, his big shadow dog lying on top of the car. Then, under the control of Karachith, the motor vehicle slowly drove up.

Standing at the door of the employment club, Delami looked at the train and left, but there was a wicked smile on his face, and muttered: "The matter is not over yet, we will see you in the city." The black cat beside her let out a soft bark at the same time, as if in response......

Out of the ancient city of Yue, Karachith set up a motor car and drove all the way to the east. According to him, it would take at least five days to get to the city, so he also prepared plenty of food. Although the space for the motor vehicle is very small, the facilities inside are not as complete as the wind energy car on the Xiangyun Big 6. But the ride is quite smooth, and there is no bumpy feeling. It's just that the five-day journey is also a huge test for Kasoqixiang's physical strength and endurance.

At dinner, Zilong carefully checked all the food before he was relieved to let Kasoqi Xiang and her shadow incense Bige eat. And he and Shadow Mouse didn't need to eat much, and it didn't matter if they didn't even eat it. However, in the eyes of Karachith, there is another way of saying this.

"Why, Your Excellency, I don't think the food I have prepared is palatable. Or, you just like to eat meat. Karachith picked up a green vegetable and took a bite, smiling and saying to Zilong. However, the second half of the sentence was so small that only Zilong and Shadow Mouse could hear it.

Zilong didn't pay attention to his question, but continued to take care of Kasoqixiang, while Shadow Mouse was always vigilant and guarded against Karachisi. On Lixi Big 6, Zilong didn't know the level of strength level at all, and he couldn't see how strong others were. Because here, it's not just one person fighting, the shadow is also involved. As a result, it is difficult to determine the combined strength of the two.

However, after listening to Dramie's introduction to this person, Zilong would not think that his strength was weak. After all, he is a servant who has reached the top level with his own ability. Therefore, since it was in the wilderness, Zilong had no intention of killing him. Moreover, for three days, Karachi has not shown any signs of misdeeds, which makes it difficult for Zilong to guess his purpose.

In three days, they passed through two cities and climbed over a mountain. Moreover, most of the time is spent in the steppe. This made Zilong realize that the surface of Lixi Da 6 is the most extensive covered by grassland. After inquiring with Kasochixiang, he also confirmed his inference that 70% of the landforms in the larger 6 were grasslands. Of course, this includes any kind of grassland. For example, there is no shortage of swampy grasslands.

At the same time, in the past three days, Zilong also learned about the five forbidden places on the Big 6 from the mouth of Kasoqixiang. The reason why it is called a forbidden place is, of course, because it is a very dangerous place, and none of the people who enter these five forbidden places can return alive. And one of them, the Shadow Swamp, is ten miles west of the city.

Later, Zilong learned that Karachith had said that it would take him at least five days to get to the city of Flaida, and that he was going to pass through this swamp of shadows. By the time he figured out the situation, the car had reached the edge of the forbidden land.

"Parking. What exactly do you have to do? Why did you choose to make it through the Shadow Swamp to the city of Flâtta? "The dragon fire is big and forced Karachith to stop. This is the first time he has been so angry since coming to Lixi Big 6, if he was the only one in the car, his reaction would not be so fierce, but the forbidden land is so full of crisis areas, it is not suitable to take Kasoqixiang on an adventure together.

Karachith didn't seem to see Zilong's anger, but just smiled indifferently, and took out the explanation that had been prepared a long time ago, "Your Excellency, you can rest assured. Now that I've chosen this path, I'm sure I'll pass through here without any damage to you. Maybe the Shadow Swamp is a forbidden place for others, but for me, it's just an ordinary grassland, and it's not a big deal. ”

Seeing Karachith's confident appearance, Zilong also believed a little, calmed down and expressed his doubts, "If it's really as easy as you say, why is this place called a forbidden place?"

Karachi smiled bitterly, his expression instantly darkened, and his gaze crossed the prairie to the depths of the swamp. Said slowly: "Because, this is my home, and I was born in this swamp of photography. My shadow and I have also lived here for nearly twenty years, you say, can I not be familiar with it?"

Zilong was stunned, he didn't expect Karachith to give such an explanation. However, he soon accepted this reason, because Karachith's gloomy eyes seemed to convey something that could touch the sadness of his heart.

It seems that this is also a man with a story. He didn't say anything more, turned around and returned to the carriage, and no longer insisted that Karachisi take a detour, after all, he could still send Kasochika into another dimension if he encountered any danger. In this way, Karachith drove slowly into the swamp of the shadow, which was known as the forbidden land.

After going a few hundred meters deep into the swamp, Karachith suddenly stopped the momo, jumped down from the driver's seat, pulled out a few inconspicuous young green grasses from the place where the weeds were growing, and then returned to the molocomb and handed them to Zilong and Kasoqixiang respectively, and said in a deep voice: "You and your shadow eat it, so as not to be poisoned after entering the swamp." ”

In front of them, Karachith ate the grass first, and gave his shadow dog no more than one. Zilong nodded to Kasoqixiang, and then took the plant down with Shadow Mouse and Xiangpige.

This unknown grass is very bitter in the mouth, but after entering the stomach, it suddenly rises a warm current. After eating Kasochi, sweat was dripping on his forehead, and Xiangpige was no exception. However, this medicinal effect does not have much effect on the Zilong who has the 'Life Source Liquid' in his body and the Shadow Mouse who has been baptized by the 'Life Source Liquid'.

When everyone had taken the herbs, Karachith began to drive back into the swamp in his mouse. This time the route always turned left and right, avoiding many of the quagmires hidden in the swamps. This also made Zilong believe Karachith's previous statement.
