312 . Bilmark Imperial Proving Ground (2)

But when the five Xiu Zhe passed through the Cave of Sorrow, there was only an endless wasteland and a strong yin wind howling, and he didn't see any of the rumored vicious criminals.

If Xiu Zhe really wants to meet a few fugitives and ask them 'friendly', people like them who have been in this kind of chaotic area all year round should know a lot of things.

"Hehe, I know a few fugitives who are hiding from the laws of various countries here, and I know where they are hiding, are you interested?"

Paris also knew that the five of them couldn't wander around like headless flies, this place was already close to the border of the territory of the Delos Empire, and if Xiu Zhe and Yong Shili were discovered by the Delos soldiers, the situation would become very bad.

At that time, not to mention investigating what the Delos Empire is doing, it would be good if it didn't turn into a large-scale war.

"Oh?" Xiu Zhe raised his eyebrows with some joy, it seems that it is really right to bring Paris. But Xiu Zhe didn't rush to say anything, he still wanted to know more about these people from Paris.

He didn't want to know whether the people Paris wanted to introduce were good or evil, whether they were wronged or evil, he just wanted to know if there was something wrong with these people's brains.

"They still have some thinking skills here, right?" Xiu Zhe asked, pointing to his temple.

"Rest assured, they are here all the year round, and they are much more alert than people with stable lives, and they know better who can and can't be messed with, what to say and what not to say."

Hearing Paris say this, Xiu Zhe nodded and said, "Lead the way." ”

With Xiu Zhe's approval, Paris didn't talk much nonsense, took out a map from the storage bag, carefully studied it, and after determining the direction, she led the way ahead, and Xiu Zhe and the others also kept up.

On the way, Paris gave Xiu Zhe a detailed introduction to several fugitives who were about to meet, if these people didn't have an accident, Xiu Zhe and the others should have met three men and one woman, these four people were arrested on trumped-up charges by the Delos Empire, in fact, they are all kind-hearted 'good people'.

One of them, a man and a woman, were husband and wife, and the couple were the Strangers, and the other two men were also swordsmen who helped the Stranger couple get caught in prison.

Although Paris had invited them to the Duchy of Belmar to escape the pursuit of the Delos Empire, these four people also knew that they were on the Delos Empire's bounty list, and it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no mercenary people to attack them, so they simply hid in such an inaccessible place to survive.

Xiu Zhe also had a certain number in his heart after learning about these four people in detail, the five of them traveled for two hours in the wind-swept wasteland, and then took a temporary rest to replenish the energy consumed in their bodies before continuing to fly for an hour before finally arriving at their destination.

"That's where they're hiding, the last time I was here was two years ago." Paris looked at the still rudimentary cave, which was her hiding place when she was in the Delos Empire, and later gave them this shelter after meeting the three men and one woman.

Xiu Zhe slowly walked to the entrance of the cave, and the ghost hand stroked the wall with some surprise: "This stone is really unusual. ”

Paris followed Xiu Zhe into the cave and shrugged her shoulders and said, "Ordinary stones can't withstand being eroded by the yin wind for a long time

Caves can be found in this wasteland for people to live in, and the stones used to forge them will be good materials for smelting weapons. ”

Taking back the ghost hand, Xiu Zhe didn't have any bad ideas, it is true that the stone that makes up the cave is a good material for crafting weapons, but he will not tear down other people's 'homes' because of this.

The five of them soon reached the end of the cavern, where there were three simple thick iron doors, and Paris came to one and knocked on one of them, but received no response.

When each of the three doors knocked on it and didn't get any feedback, Paris also smiled and said, "Maybe it's out, right?" We are waiting here? ”

Xiu Zhe's spiritual eye also did not detect the breath of a living person behind the door, nodded and sat on the ground at the moment, Yong Shili did not sit down and stood for fear of soiling his white clothes and asked: "It's all strong yin wind here, where will they go?" ”

"Black market, there is no formal market here, there is only a large black market, people hiding here will go there every once in a while to buy some food, although the people hiding here must be cultivators, but it does not mean that cultivators do not need to eat, but the demand for food will be much smaller than ordinary people."

Hearing Paris say this, Xiu Zhe also asked with interest: "There should be intelligence dealers in the black market, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, but one of the four people I brought you here to meet is the most powerful intelligence dealer in this area, so you can just ask him if there is anything. It's just..."

Paris paused for a moment, then raised her right hand and stretched out her index finger and thumb, rubbed her fingers together and continued: "He also has to live, you have to be a little more meaningful."

Xiu Zhe was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then chuckled: "That's no problem, although I'm so poor that I can't even take out a gold coin, but if it's to exchange items for information, I still have some negotiating capital." ”

After looting the storage bags of the two Great Sin Divisions, plus his original savings, Xiu Zhe didn't believe that the other party wouldn't be moved. What's more, the people who live here are very shrewd, and he may not have to pay anything to get a lot of useful information.

After waiting for another half hour or so, two men and a woman appeared at the entrance of the cave, and the three of them were wearing clothes with three layers inside and three layers outside, wrapped like a rice dumpling, revealing only a pair of eyes.

When the three of them saw Xiu Zhe and the others sitting on the ground, they were also slightly stunned, and then they saw Paris standing up with a smile.

"Arnold, Leonard, Mara, long time no see."

"Benefactor?!" The woman whom Paris called Mara tore off the scarf that covered her face, her eyes flashed with joy, and she trotted to Paris and hugged her.

Paris patted Mara on the back and asked, "Where's Edie?" ”

Feeling the body of the woman in her arms tremble, and hearing the tall Arnold sigh deeply, and then looking at the somewhat obese Leonard's gaze a little evasive, Paris also knew that Edie should have encountered an accident.

"Alas..."Paris sighed, Edie is Mara's husband, the two have lived and died together for several years, their relationship has long been self-evident, and she actually admires Edie Paris, after all, he is a real man.

"I'm sorry, Mara

You.. Let's mourn and change..."

Mara left Paris's embrace, with a deep sadness in her eyes, but she still managed to squeeze out a smile and said, "Benefactor doesn't have to apologize, if it weren't for you, the four of us would have died in the wasteland." ”

"I said it all, don't call me a benefactor, I just provided you with a place to live back then, and the ability to survive here is honed by yourself."

Saying that, Paris glanced at Xiu Zhe without a trace, and hesitated in her heart, she decided not to tell the purpose of everyone's coming, after all, the atmosphere is a little sad now.

But Mara said, "A benefactor is a benefactor, how can we call the benefactor by his name?" I'm afraid you're here for something that needs us, right? ”

Seeing this, Paris no longer concealed it and nodded: "Let's not stand here and say, let's go into the house." ”

"Look at my brain, Arnold, quick." Leonard urged softly, and Arnold hurried to the wall between the two doors, touched an inconspicuous rock block, and took out the key from the storage bag to open the middle door.

"You're a little more cautious, aren't you?" Paris also smiled with satisfaction when she saw Arnold's movements, and if she hadn't touched the mechanism first, she might have been in big trouble if she forced her way into the room behind the door.

"If you want to survive in this land, how can you not be cautious? Isn't this what you said? Leonard said and looked at Xiu Zhe and said with a little familiarity: "If I'm not mistaken, this is the famous Devil May Cry, Brother Xiu Zhe, right?" ”

Seeing Xiu Zhe nodding lightly, Leonard glanced at Yong Shili, although he was amazed in his heart that the rumors were true, the ninth princess of the Principality of Belmar really looked like a country and a city, but he also knew that the relationship between this girl and Xiu Zhe was also quickly retracted and smiled: "Engong and everyone, please." ”

The eight of them walked slowly into the room, although the ceiling here is a little low, but the space is spacious, although the furniture is a little old but spotless, it is obvious that someone has often cleaned it carefully.

After Demara brought a few plates of snacks to the coffee table and everyone was seated, Paris asked, "Why are we here for now, but how did Edie die?" ”

Mara's hand pouring water into the cup in front of Xiu Zhe trembled slightly, but fortunately, he didn't show too much gaffe to suppress the sadness in his heart, Leonard sighed deeply and said: "Edie died to protect Mara, do you mind if I smoke?" ”

After seeing Xiu Zhe and the others indicating that they didn't mind, Leonard took out a cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath and spit out the smoke, and said hatefully: "Half a year ago, Edie and Mara went to the black market to buy food and were ambushed by them.

Leonard took another puff of his cigarette and continued: "The Delos Empire is worried that a large number of criminals will be threatened by gathering here, so it took the initiative to find several extremely powerful fugitives, erase the charges for them, and give them a lot of benefits, with the purpose of erasing us. Those who became the lackeys of the empire were already lawless, and this time such a big backer on the list became even more unscrupulous. ”

"These dogs!" Hearing this, Paris also unconsciously clenched her fists and showed a fierce look.
