Chapter 192: The Other World
The sky was overcast and the wind was cold.
It was a gray space, a dead world.
Occasional skeleton birds flew by at low altitudes, and roared high altitudes from time to time. It looked like it was going to rain, but it didn't rain for a long time.
As far as the eye can see, except for some low mountain bags and two gates to the sky, the ground is black and pressing.
The two gates are far apart, and the middle is overcrowded.
It was all rickety, with vague faces, emaciated bodies, and ragged clothes.
Handcuffed and dragged anklets, they all walked in one direction in an orderly manner.
Two gates, one only in and out, the other only in and out, such a monotonous scene, repeatedly continued...
Came here inexplicably, his body walked forward uncontrollably, and he didn't know what was wrong.
Faced with such a strange thing, his first reaction was to think he was dreaming.
But every time the cold wind blows, the two little hands shake violently: it's so cold! Isn't this a dream? Where the hell am I from?
Xiu was very confused, he only remembered that he and the others had just left the orchard, and he couldn't remember what happened after that.
The throat is fine, but it just can't make a sound. There are weirdos around, how can I stay with them?
No, no one else is here, I need to get out of this place as soon as possible!
I think so, but the body doesn't listen to the call, what can I do!
Suddenly, a dark shadow fell from the sky.
In the blink of an eye, all the strange people around Xiu disappeared. As for him, before he could react, he was sucked away by the gate behind him.
Uh, that's it, I'm not dead yet?
Xiu was very calm, and he fell down beside the boulder, and it took less than half a minute to have a guess: There are no weirdos around, I left that kind of ghost place? Who's helping me?
Xiu had read a lot of books, and combined with the descriptions in the books, he was sure that what he had just seen was... The otherworld!
I'm dead? No, if it's really dead, then why am I..!
I noticed that there was a dark shadow not far away, and I still had leisure to think about it.
The little hand subconsciously put it on his left waist, only to realize that the arrow storage bag was not there: it is very dangerous, is it here to kill me?
As soon as he was sucked away by the gate, Xiu regained his face.
Seeing that the strange black shadow was silent, he gradually panicked: it is not a human, let alone a monster, but it is much more terrifying than a monster, what is it going to do?
"You.. Who the hell are you? β
The black light flashed, and Xiu thought he was going to die here, but the result was very unexpected: "Hmm..!" You.."
It doesn't hurt in the chest, what the hell is going on?
Wait, I'm supposed to be in a ghost state, it's normal that it doesn't hurt, right?
The strange black shadow didn't reply, nor did it pull out the black blade, and when it let go of its hand, another black blade was held in its hand.
After a faint glance at Xiu, the black shadow disappeared and left.
In the cold wind, its words came: "Strength has been given to you, may you protect my best friend!" β
In contrast to the horrible appearance, it was a slightly hoarse child's voice: Listen to it, is it trying to save me?
was pierced through the chest by a black blade, and Xiu couldn't move, so he had to stand still.
As time passed, the black blade began to get shorter, and it seemed to merge into his body, but it was rather slow!
Friend? He came to my rescue to protect his best friend?
Alas, I didn't even say the name of my best friend, how do I do it...
Cultivation does not happen overnight, it requires perseverance, regardless of the guild.
Buck has always had a sense of superiority, but after being promoted to D-class, he was under a lot of pressure.
In order to be reused, he and his partner have the same idea, and they are both low-key cultivators.
The two partners seem to have a good relationship, but they are not. If it wasn't necessary, the two wouldn't even talk to each other.
There was a knock on the door, and Buck didn't want to pay attention to it, but the knock on the door became louder and louder: "Say it! What's up? β
Kara didn't want to come, and seeing that Buck didn't open the door, she shoved a report into the crack of the door and was about to leave: "Something happened to that kid, you better take a look." β
"I almost forgot, about you looking for that kid to duel, there is news from your house, I advise you to end the duel, or else... The consequences can be severe. β
The two are natives of the mainland, who grew up in the same city, and for some reason, they left their hometown without permission.
I didn't just want to make a name for myself.
In order to get something done as soon as possible, the two worked very hard.
It's just that.. It's not good for Buck to provoke anyone, he has to find to provoke Jarrow, in Kara's opinion, he is extremely stupid!
The old man of Ban is very fond of Jia Luo, he goes to run everywhere, not to mention the dislike, the key risk is very great: it is a black magic envoy, others can't hide, he just moves forward, purely looking for death!
No matter if you win or lose, there will be no good results.
Out of acquaintance, Kara reported the incident to her hometown: "Cut, you're really talkative!" Tell those guys about me.. Don't worry about them! You too! β
After picking up the report, Buck was stunned for a moment: seriously injured? The whole team almost can't come back?
Things shouldn't be fake, what the hell did that stinky boy do?
Buck was very concerned about the duel, and after signing the contract with Jarrow, he was already preparing for it, and now that there were only a few days left before the duel, he was a little annoyed by this incident.
"It's embarrassing to even go out of the city, it's really inferior enough! Forget it, if you can't come that day, then it means.. You don't deserve my care! β
It doesn't matter if it's for Jarrow or not, meditation is the right thing to do. Dropping the report, Buck continues to meditate...
The two were kept out of the news, and the report that Buck saw was not accurate.
Deng was too strong, and Jarrow was injured, which was inevitable, but after a night's rest, the injury was all healed. Not only that, but the spirit is also very full.
Jia Luo was already surprised, and not long after Ah Xiang brought breakfast, he planned to go out: "Charles, you only woke up yesterday, can you not work so hard?" β
Unlike Red Lotus and Alice, Charles knows more about that encounter.
Combined with the available information, he found some clues.
The men who attacked them were strong, and with those means, Charles was sure that even if Jarrow arrived, he would not be able to save them.
But the facts are in front of him, and he has to believe: Jarrow is really different from us! What the hell is his secret?
Charles didn't care what Jarrow had secrets, what he cared about was the incident itself: from the day I first arrived, I had a feeling that Jarrow didn't have amnesia, he just pretended to have amnesia!
Of course, it may also be an illusion!
Somehow I came here, everyone thinks about those things: Where did I come from before? Why are you here? Before.. Why don't you remember?
Smiling at Jarrow's side face at this moment, Charles really wanted to say something: he always kept everything in his heart, and he always wanted to take everything on him, which was not good!
I'm a warrior, and I have to share something for him!
"Don't worry, I'm in good health, I'm just running a few laps outside, nothing will happen!"
"It's you, Jarrow! Red Lotus hasn't woken up yet, you went out so early, you wanted..."
Jia Luo didn't want to hide it, according to the person sent by the city lord, the area around the Bull Ghost Avenue was absolutely safe, and all the suspicious guys were sent to prison!
Charles is going to run outside, there shouldn't be any danger: "I have something to do to go to the City Lord's Mansion, I shouldn't be back until the afternoon, remember to help me take care of Henry." β
"Going to do something? Okay, then you should be careful along the way! β
Rumors about Jarrow are often on the radar of Shire. Whenever he heard rumors that were unfavorable to Jarrow, he was very angry.
It is precisely when I know that I will specially remind: "Don't worry, just go and do something, there will be nothing!" Then I'm leaving! β
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the City Lord's Mansion sent a carriage and stopped it on the side of the road not very far from the courtyard: "I'm here, when will the car leave?" β
The coachman is not Lamy, he is a smoker.
Dressed in civilian clothes, with his legs crossed, humming a song, he seems to be very leisurely.
Before Jarrow could get close to the carriage, he smelled a thick smell of smoke: "Don't worry, it's still early!" Would you like to smoke a cigarette, lad? β
Jarrow didn't bother to take care of it, so Liso jumped into the carriage, lifted the curtain to ventilate, and closed his eyes.
"Alas, you are so boring! Forget it, go to the City Lord's Mansion, right? Okay, sit tight! β
The City Lord's Mansion came to him, and Jia Luo was not surprised, he was surprised that he came to the door so late!
The last time he stepped into the City Lord's Mansion, he still helped Henry get his identity certificate, and he didn't look at it very carefully at the time, but now that the carriage was walking around, he found that the City Lord's Mansion had a lot of origins: the magic power was very strong, and if he cultivated inside, his cultivation speed should be much faster!
The looming defensive barrier, with Jia Luo's ability, can't see what is famous: yes, this is the city lord's mansion, and it is normal to defend it strictly!
"Young man, we've arrived at the place, you get out of the car quickly."
Jarrow had a special status, and the carriage did not stop in front of the main entrance, but outside the inconspicuous back door.
After Jarrow got out of the carriage, the closed back door opened automatically: "Please come in!" β
Fearing that they would be cursed, the two rows of guards inside the door hung amulets: "I'm sorry for you to lead the way!" β
There are many rules in the City Lord's Mansion, and Jia Luo didn't dare to walk around.
Under the guidance of the guards, he soon came to the outside of Yves's office: "Report to the city lord, Mr. Ban's disciple is here."
"Let him in!"
The hall was noisy, and coincidentally, Jarrow saw an "acquaintance".
"Huh? Mask boy, how are you..! You called him, right? β
The other party is a middle-aged priest who makes Jarrow feel wary: how can he be here?
"Priest, there is something... We can't solve the problem by discussing here alone, so let's ask the person concerned! β
"Hello tattoo boy, my name is Massachusetts Yves, just call me Lord of the City!"
"As for this one, his name is Lismie Bach, he is from the church headquarters, and you seem to know him, have you seen it before?"
If the adventurer wants to enter the city lord's mansion, his weapons must be confiscated. Due to his special status, Jarrow omitted this link.
Jarrow has always been calm, but when he recognized Bach, he still couldn't control it: "Don't think I don't know what you've done to me, let's die!" β
