Chapter 158: The Singer

"You... Who are you?" said Lucius Snakehead, looking at the two men who had suddenly appeared with a wary face. This is the heart of his territory, and no one from outside will let in such two people silently.

But the big man who walked over slowly was fine, this guy who hurriedly ran over to look at the singer on the ground and danced happily was only in his twenties, his face was pale and his steps were vain, and at first glance he knew that he was a guy who was drunk on wine, and it seemed that he shouldn't be a ruthless character.

Pingris completely ignored the gang leader next to him, he was so happy that he was about to go crazy, and he was able to 'pick up' this great beauty that he dreamed of here for no reason, it was like a money fan seeing a large piece of Okin fall in front of him.

"Who the hell are you?" Loucius Serpent's hand shook as he shouted angrily, and the rope in his hand turned into a soft whip and whipped towards Pinris's face.

This speed was so fast that Pinreis didn't even have time to react. But he didn't need to react at all, and the rope had just reached the top of his head and face, and suddenly a circle of fire burst into flames, as if there was gunpowder buried in the air. The eruption of flames and impact directly reduced the rope to ashes, and it also exploded in the direction of the rope. Finally, the attack distance was far enough, and Luxiu Snakehead's reaction was also fast, throwing away the rope in his hand and rolling on the ground, narrowly avoiding the fire from the impact, only his hair was burned to the ground.

"You... You... Who are you?" The fat man over there also has a certain level of arcane, and can recognize that this is at least an arcane with more than four rings, which is quite an arcane level according to this person's age, even if it is a prop or scroll, it also hints at a rather extraordinary origin and background. "I'm ...... for Titao"

Pingris, who was whipped in front of the gang boss and didn't react, heard the fat man's voice at this time, but as if he had been stabbed in the buttocks, he jumped over and reached out to cover the fat man's mouth: "Shh, don't talk, I didn't hear anything, I don't know where you came from." ”

The fat man's face turned blue for a moment, and when Pingris took his hand away, he could see that his mouth had been completely frozen into a large lump of ice. The fat man fell headlong like a stake, and it was clear that it was not only his mouth that froze this time.

"What's wrong?" the sword of benevolence on the side was a little surprised. "Are you worried about hearing something?"

Pinglisi rubbed his hands together and said with a smile, "No, just in case." Some archmages of large families will set up sequencing spells for these doglegs who are running around, and once they encounter the name of their master and then be killed, the sequencing spell will activate the positioning point on them, and the archmage's reconnaissance arcane will detect the situation here, so that they can know what kind of guy these doglegs have encountered who does not give them face. They don't necessarily have a way to get us in trouble, but it's always nice to have less trouble, right? ”

Luxiu Snake on the side looked at the fat man's corpse, his face was almost uglier than the corpse, and the noble man who needed him to be careful just now had become a lump of cold meat on the ground. And what really chilled him was the attitude and strength shown by these two uninvited guests, and decades of gangster career made him very clear that he, including the dozens of people who collapsed here, were just ants waiting for the other party to step on them, and the dead ants would not leak any news.

The gang leader didn't even have the courage to escape, and he knew very well that the ability shown by the young mage just now, as well as the attitude of the other party at the moment, showed that no matter what method he used to escape, the deadly arcane could turn him into a corpse in the blink of an eye.

With a bang, Luxiu Snake fell to his knees and said to the two of them with a sincere face, "Two adults, the Vipers are willing to serve you. We have very strong connections and power in the outer city areas, and we can definitely solve many troubles for you that you don't want to deal with. ”

This kneeling made Pinglisi and the Sword of Benevolence feel a little surprised and amused, and the Sword of Benevolence shook his head: "With such a keen eye and decisiveness, it is too condescending to be a gang leader, and politicians are your natural profession. But that's an equally damn profession. ”

With that, with a swing of the Sword of Benevolence, a punch struck the head of Lucius Snakehead, and the head of the gang leader burst apart like a tomato that had been punched hard, leaving only the headless corpse to the ground.

Then he walked over to Baliya Ulysses and reached out to pull her up. But this singer can't use any strength in her, so she can only hang on his hand like noodles.

"The paralyzing shockwave has temporarily destroyed the connection between nerves and muscles, and can only be healed by necromancy......" Pingris was a little surprised by the action of the Sword of Benevolence, this accomplice was powerful and strange, and had never expressed any interest in women, but at this time he deliberately came to help this singer, which was hard not to think of anything else strange. "This Miss Ulysses is very charming indeed...... Adversity... But didn't you say that this kind of innocent girl in show business is actually more terrifying than a woman like Fernandez?"

"That's right. Didn't you see the strength with which she smashed the creature's face with her fist?" The Sword of Benevolence slapped its hand on Baliya Ulysses's body a few times, and the limp Miss Singer's body shook slightly, and immediately regained her mobility. He asked, "Okay, little girl, can you tell me where you learned your fighting skills......

But the expression of Balia Ulysses made the Sword of Benevolence unable to ask, and when Miss Singer had the strength to stand on her own, she immediately looked up at him with an expression that did not show any fear or caution, only an ecstatic excitement and affection, which did not seem to be the expression that appeared on the cruel and decisive woman just now.

"You ......" The Sword of Benevolence was still hesitating, Baliya Ulysses had already taken out a small bottle of potion from her clothes, applied it to her eyebrows and hair, and the original golden hair and eyebrows turned black, and then she carefully removed two translucent colored soft tablets from her pupils, and the turquoise pupils turned dark brown, and in the blink of an eye, the blonde singer turned into a girl with black hair and black eyes.

"It's me, Uncle Qiu. The girl with a new face also spoke in Shenzhou dialect, and now it looks like this, she is simply a Shenzhou girl with deep and three-dimensional eyebrows and eyes, with obvious European style.

"You areβ€”" The Sword of Benevolence was also stunned, and there was indeed such a rare face in his memory, and as he recalled, things related to it slowly floated up in his mind. β€œ... Zhang Jinli?"

"yes, yes, it's me. The girl's cheerful appearance looked completely similar to the ruthless energy of the punch just now, which made people vomit blood. She also grabbed the Sword of Benevolence's hands and looked at it non-stop. "I read Uncle Eight's letter saying that your arm has also recovered, I still don't believe it, I can't imagine that this is really the case. Everyone was so worried after you were wanted by the Temple, and it's great to see you now! I couldn't believe it was you when I saw you fighting that Archmage of Inclave in the Muse Theater that day! Why are you dressed up like this now? Why are you with the bad guys of the Arcane Revival?"

"It's... This... What's going on?" Pinglis, who was on the side, was stunned by the change, and stretched out his hand to the girl and shouted. "Baliyah Ulysses is a Westerner? Your Excellency the Sword of Benevolence, does she know you?"

"Well, my student can also be considered my niece. I haven't seen her for a few years, but now she's grown so big. The Sword of Benevolence turned and smiled at Pinris. "It seems that today is really your lucky day, and you can actually find out that the girl of your dreams is my niece. Later, you can stand in the distance and watch her slowly. ”

###

The outer part of Oroyosta is a large patchwork of simple dwellings sprawling out of the western part of the city compared to the real city. Unlike Oroyosta, which was carefully planned and rebuilt by the great families of the Great Plains, this area was built and pieced together by the civilians who came here to make a living, and it is hard to imagine how chaotic it would have been if it weren't for the temples and churches such as the Guardian Hand trying their best to maintain the necessary order inside.

Gangsters are an inevitable product here, and all kinds of people are entangled in the traction of race, family, interests, etc., otherwise they would not be able to survive in such a chaotic place. The 'laundry gangs' are gangs that belong exclusively to Westerners, because Westerners have a near monopoly on the cleaning industry in Oroyosta – mainly because the work is so tedious, dirty, cheap and attentive that almost no one but Westerners wants to do it. These gangsters gathered by Westerners are also given this name.

The Laundry Gang has little power here, only occupying an area in the corner, and at this moment in the largest of them, the Sword of Benevolence is being visited by the leader of the Laundry Gang.

"High Priest, although the Cult of Vengeance has failed, as long as you are still around, there is still hope for everything. You can come to Oroyosta today, but what are your plans?"

The leader of the laundry gang is a middle-aged man in his forties, named Zeng Lin, with a face full of scars, slender eyes, and a fierce look in the flash, but when he looks at the sword of benevolence, he can only admire and obey. He, along with many of the thugs in the laundry gang, learned some boxing skills from this man, so that he could carve out a territory in the outer city. And he was also a member of the Cult of Vengeance before, but he didn't stay on the West Coast to participate in the last god festival.

The Sword of Benevolence thought about it, he could remember that this man was also a cousin of the Zhang family, in fact, the Westerners of Oroyusta were deeply involved in the Zhang family, and the Zhang family could be oppressed and exploited on the West Coast but still be able to run a huge family property and connections, of course, it would not just rely on serious business.

"I came to Oroyosta, naturally I have something to do...... But you can't do it yet. The Sword of Benevolence waved its hand. "Zhang Zhijin should have written to you, you should have some understanding of the current situation, right? The Cult of Vengeance is no longer there, and I am no longer the High Priest, so you don't have to call me that in the future.

”

"Yes. It was mentioned in Zhang Gong's letter, saying that it was... Mr. has changed his name to the Sword of Benevolence, the Invincible King, and has been fooled by the impact of exotic gods, so that he has won the recognition of the major temples and envoys. Zhang Gong said that Mr. often pretends to be strange in front of people, and there must be a deep meaning in his heart. Now there are big envoys on the surface to make a name for our Shenzhou ethnic group, and Mr. happens to be operating in secret. Mr. in the Grand Theater has already caused a great storm in Oroyosta, and now that the Arcane Revival is at a time when people's hearts are scattered, it is a good time for Mr. to infiltrate it......"

"Okay, okay, those don't need to be said......" The Sword of Benevolence waved its hand repeatedly. I didn't expect these people to have so much confidence in him, which made him feel a little ashamed.

"The subordinates have lost their words! Forgot the methods of those arcanists...... Damn!" Zeng Lin seemed to suddenly think of something, and his excited appearance just now suddenly turned into a panic, and he raised his hand and slammed it into his mouth. actually used a deadly punch, and there was blood flowing immediately between the mouth and nose, "If it's a big deal for Mr. to be broken, I'm here... It's just that death is not enough to excuse his guilt......"

"Okay, okay..."The Sword of Benevolence was quite speechless, and hurriedly waved his hand and threw a healing spell on Zeng Lin to help him stop the bleeding. "I won't leak any rumors here, and you don't need to blame yourself, but it's best not to mention anything about me casually to others in the future. ”

"Yes, yes... Sir, this is the arcane art, right...... I didn't expect that in just a few short days, Mr. would be able to use those Oro people's arcane skills with ease......" Zeng Lin nodded like pounding garlic. Although his face was still covered with blood, his slender and fierce eyes were full of joy, "In short, for the sake of the master's plan, if anyone has any meager strength that can be used by us, just say that the four hundred Shenzhou disciples in the Oroyusta will never complain even if they are full of liver and brain!"

"Well..."The Sword of Benevolence also felt a little embarrassed, he thought for a moment and asked. "What is the current situation of our Divine Race in this Oroyosta?"

"It's better than in previous years, at least those little thieves now know that we are not easy to oppress, and they don't dare to blackmail us casually. The previous traitors who defected to the Euros also let them know the fate of being traitors. Speaking of which, the laundry gang leader reverted to a murderous look on his face. "It's just that the upper nobility of the city still regarded us as the lowest barbarians, and the security guards and some family lackeys always came to scrape the oil. This is also something that cannot be helped, we are missing the foundation after all, if the Cult of Vengeance can be accomplished......"

"Don't worry. Since I am here, I will definitely give you an explanation, and let those European barbarians know that our Divine Dao System is beyond their imagination. The Sword of Benevolence said in a deep voice. "The envoys are also on their way. Their leading official is a good-looking dead scholar, and now he regards the head of the Zhang family as a confidant, their identity is dignified, and they can be brought to the table more than the Vengeance God Cult, and two of the masters are not under me, you can rest assured to take refuge in it. ”

Zeng Lin's eyes lit up, and he nodded hurriedly: "Yes, since Mr. said so, then we can rest assured......

β€œ...... By the way, how did Zhang Yili do that kind of singer?"

β€œ... I'm afraid you'll have to ask Miss Murray about this, and I don't know too much. And there are only a few people in the gang who know that she is that Baria Ulysses, and we are all strictly confidential...... It's a shame to say that she pretended to be a singer to sing and made a lot of money to subsidize the use of the gang...... "Zeng Lin was full of scars, no matter how he looked at it, his murderous face actually flashed a little ashamed red. A gang needs a young girl to sing to support it, which is really embarrassing.

"Well, good. So be it, I'll go ask her. ”

When the Sword of Benevolence returned to the makeshift hut specially prepared for him, he saw Balia Ulysses, or Zhang Yili, reading a book there, and the dim light of the room did not detract from the beauty of the singer who had fascinated the thousands of aristocratic young men of Oroyusta, even though she had now regained her black hair, and the soft beauty of a European woman and a divine woman outlined by the lamplight was still undiminished.

The slightly unsightly thing is that the room is filled with bursts of snoring, which is from the fat mage Alston in the corner, this fat man who was previously unconscious due to excessive panic has now fallen into a deep sleep caused by the arcane, even if he stabs him, he may not wake up, and it has become a noisy fat package. And Pinglisi sat on this package, still looking at Zhang Yili not far away with a strange expression. The Sword of Benevolence remembers that this guy was like this when he left before.

"Good, young man. I'm glad you can still sit here quietly, instead of being driven by your low desires to do something dangerous, only to have your face shattered or some organ lying on the ground moaning. The Sword of Benevolence stepped up and patted Pinris on the shoulder, which brought him back from that state.

"Ah, no kidding. Even if I don't care about you, I'm not in the mood at all right now. I haven't even recovered from that shock yet. Pinris shook his head, indicating that he was innocent. "Known as the elf of music, the new flower of the imperial capital, the mysterious and charming magical singer Balia Ulysses is actually a Western girl, or a Western girl who was born into a gangster and killed a strong man with one punch. The shock was so great that you know I've fantasized about it hundreds of times with her in all kinds of situations and all kinds of occasions...... That chance encounter and explore some philosophical questions about life. But I never thought she would be like this...... Well, I now have a sense of the old guys' state of mind when they heard that the Floating City was shot down and Oroyosta was sacked......"

"What's wrong with the Westerners?" the black-haired beauty not far away closed the book and looked at it coldly.

"No, I don't have any prejudice against Westerners. Miss Ulysses. Pinris raised his hand. "At least compared to others, I still admit that you Westerners are very smart, very hard-working, maybe most of them are cowardly and timid, of course there are also very strong and weird... It's just that... It's just that... Just ......"

"It's just that we still instinctively feel that we are savage subhumans like the orc dwarves, just aliens attached to your great Euro arcane civilization. We may be very good in terms of personal ability, but it's just the kind of biological stunt that a cheetah can run fast, a bird can fly, a fish can swim, right? That's why you find it so incredible that a Western woman can achieve such great success and fame and be praised by your mainstream society. ”

"Your words are as sharp as your fists, beautiful Miss Ulysses. Pinris spread his hands helplessly. "Well, I'll admit it, basically all the Euro nobles, the mages, have this idea. This is the basis of our cognition, so even I didn't realize it. ”

"Uncle Qiu, this person is a real villain. Zhang Jinli said in Shenzhou dialect to the sword of benevolence. "Didn't you hear that the Alpha Revival is full of bigots and lunatics?

"Count him lucky to have just met me. The Sword of Benevolence smiled, and turned to Pinris, pointing to the fat man he was sitting on. "Now you go back with this fat man and the contents of the folding bag, I still have something to talk about with my students. ”

"Actually, I still want to...... All right. Pinglisi looked at Zhang Yanli, seemingly a little reluctant, but he also knew that he didn't have any drama, so he could only shrug his shoulders helplessly. "At least let those Westerners find me a carriage or a wheelbarrow, and give me two bottles of wine to cover up, it's too conspicuous to bring out this fat man with arcane art. ”

Although this is a chaotic and dangerous outer city, it is still difficult for the elite of the Executive Department of the Arcane Revival Society. Pinris used a camouflage illusion on himself and the fat mage who was sleeping soundly, and the appearance of the two of them became the guards of the two security guards, which is the most noble and powerful identity in the outlying city, although it is certainly impossible to hide from the high-ranking mages and clergy, and it is not a problem to scare and scare some gangsters.

"That's right. Don't tell anyone about the laundry gang and Ulysses today. The sword of benevolence added to Pinris. "Including the Nightshade Lady. I'll explain it to her in detail later. ”

"Strictly speaking, I'm a subordinate of Lady Nightshade, not yours. Pinris glanced at him, but nodded anyway. "But okay. At least personally, we have to be a little bit closer when we act together. And since you were appreciated by Vice President Griffin, I've put you in the same category as him. Never provoke such a monster is the basis of any slightly sane Revival member's knowledge. ”

Seeing Pingli driving a simple carriage and carrying the fat mage who smelled of wine away, the Sword of Benevolence turned to Zhang Yili and said, "Okay, Xiao Jinli, I was so busy with the road that I didn't have time to chat properly, now tell me how you came up to be this singer? Do you think it's funny? Do you know how dangerous this is for you, a foundationless girl of all races?"
