Chapter 580: Arrival in Alabastan
"Interesting."
After sweeping the three tarot cards, Xia Nuo looked at Hawkins thoughtfully, "It seems a little complicated, can you solve it for me?" ”
"There's nothing I can do about it, sir."
Hawkins shook his head and said softly: "The fate of others is like a fog, all I can see is the glimmer of light leaking through the crack in the door, what is hidden behind the door, you can only glimpse the true face when you push the door open yourself." ”
"Forget it."
Xia Nuo was too lazy to listen to this kind of magic stick, and he also knew that when he had almost nothing to explain, such a request was difficult for some strong people, so he put away the three tarot cards and smiled slightly:
"Alright, that's it, thank you for your divination, I hope that the next time I see you, you'll have entered the new world and are qualified to join me."
Xiao Luo has eaten and drunk enough, and it is time for him to hit the road.
"Have a good journey, Your Excellency."
Hawkins leaned over slightly, respectfully.
And the rest of the crew on the entire deck also bowed down and saluted, until they saw the black streamer disappear into the sky, and then they withdrew their gaze in awe and regained their footing.
…………
After separating from the Hawkins Pirates, Xano continued his journey to Alabastan.
The rest of the road went quite smoothly, and as he drank his wine and pondered the meaning of the three tarot cards, time passed imperceptibly, and when the evening twilight grew thicker, he finally saw the outline of the island of Santeng.
The island is home to the historic country of Alabastan, which is quite large, almost a dozen times the size of the Isle of Wind.
Xia Nuo didn't plan to stay in the outer area, but planned to go directly to the royal capital [Aljana], although Klockdahl's whereabouts are secretive, but the main range of activities is basically near the royal capital.
But the plan could not keep up with the change, when he passed by a small town in the night, he suddenly heard a terrible scream from the town, and when he followed the sound and looked down, he found that the low altitude of the town was still shrouded in a layer of eerie black fog.
"Huh?"
Xia Nuo frowned, and after thinking about it, he opened his mouth and ordered, "Go down and have a look." ”
Xiao Luo understood, changed direction, swept downward, and the violent air currents set off by his wings dispersed all the black fog in the place he passed, and finally landed firmly at the intersection of the main road of the town.
Turning over from the eagle's back, Xia Nuo looked towards the alley on the right, and happened to see two slender and thin girls, stumbling towards this side, looking frightened, and glancing back from time to time, as if something terrible was chasing behind.
"It's not quite right."
Although the light was dim, Xia Nuo could see what was behind the two girls, and it was a dozen or so jet-black zombies, staring at the scarlet eyes, and letting out a low, terrifying roar from their mouths, chasing after the girls.
At this time, the two girls also saw Xia Nuo standing at the corner of the street, they were stunned at first, and then shouted with eagerness on their faces: "Hey, run, you, what are you doing here!" ”
"If we don't leave, we'll all be killed by these monsters later!"
Xia Nuo's eyes flashed slightly, and he didn't answer the two girls, but after glancing at the group of zombies, he put his right hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.
Laugh at!
The sound of breaking wind sounded, and the next moment, the zombies who were originally chasing and killing were cut off at the same time, stopped walking, and fell to the ground and no longer moved.
"Huh?"
The two girls were going to run with the stupid big man in front of them, but suddenly they heard no footsteps behind them, and when they looked back, they only saw fragments of corpses all over the ground, and they immediately stayed in place.
"Don't worry, it's okay."
Xia Nuo's voice only sounded at this time, he walked up to the two girls from the street entrance, looked at the zombies in this place and frowned, "Can you tell me what the situation is here?" ”
Only then did the two girls see Xia Nuo's appearance in front of them clearly, first subconsciously blushing and taking half a step back, and then one of the older ones calmed down and asked, "You are not from this country?" ”
"Well, I just happened to be passing through here."
Xia Nuo bowed slightly.
"This is not the place to talk."
The older girl looked left and right, and when she saw that there were no other zombies chasing her, she lowered her voice and said to Xia Nuo, "Please come with us." ”
The trio made their way through several alleys until they finally came to the door of a building, which Xano noticed was different from the rest of the town, not only were the doors and windows welded with steel, but the stone was also made of extra strong.
The older girl arrived at the door, knocked lightly on the iron door three times, and after a while, there was a sudden glimmer of light behind the door, and a sturdy bald man poked his head out of the crack in the door, and when he saw the two girls, his expression was relieved at first, but in an instant, he saw Xia Nuo who was following behind, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.
"Kuba, don't do this, this is our savior."
The older girl hurriedly whispered, "Anyway, let's go in first, and then meet the mayor." ”
The bald man frowned, and after thinking about it, he still opened the door and let the three of them walk in one after another, but it was obvious that he had not let down his guard against Xia Nuo, and he had been holding a sword and staring vigilantly at the side.
Led by the girl, several people walked through the dark corridor together and reached the hall in the center of the building.
The light suddenly became brighter, and Xia Nuo looked around and found that in this hall, which was only about a hundred square meters, there were two or three hundred people, men, women and children.
And on the main seat of the long table in the middle, there sat a white-haired old man wearing glasses, looking tired and looking tired as he looked down and flipping through a document.
"Thea, Leah!"
A voice of surprise sounded, Xia Nuo followed the voice, only to see an old woman about sixty or seventy years old, rushing out of the crowd in the corner with an excited expression, and the two girls saw this, they also ran over, crashed into the old woman's arms, and sobbed slightly.
"My child, my child......" The old woman stroked the top of her two granddaughters' heads, tears streaming down her eyes, "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, grandma was worried about dying before, for fear that you two won't be able to come back." ”
"We almost didn't come back."
The older girl struggled to hold back her tears, she raised her head, pointed to Xia Nuo not far away, and said, "On the way back, we were discovered by a group of zombies, if it weren't for the help of this benefactor, I'm afraid we wouldn't have seen you......"
