Chapter Thirty-Eight: Departure
Looking at the large cloth bag full of black stone coins under her feet, Veroni swallowed, she is a transcendent, yes, but this continent is no longer dominated by transcendentals.
Under the charge of the army, it is difficult for the transcendents to protect themselves, so they dare not act recklessly, and most of the transcendents have ties to the empire or a certain noble, and have reached a relatively loose employment relationship.
Armies are not omnipotent, such as exploring secret realms, assassinations, finding certain treasures, antiques, etc., or the transcendents are more efficient.
But even so, the treatment of the wild transcendents is still not good, such as Veronie, as a transcendent, although she does not have to worry about the money she needs on a daily basis, but it costs a lot of money to buy mysterious side items.
At her poorest, Veroni even stole the guardrails of the city walls and sold them to steel merchants, commonly known as selling scrap iron, but the guardrails of the walls were forged from swirling steel for about one-fifth of the volume of silver.
"All of this is mine?"
Veroni grabbed the loose belt and lifted it up, this girl's pants always gave people the feeling that they might fall off at any time.
"That's right, it's three o'clock in the afternoon, and tomorrow morning will leave at six o'clock, and in the meantime, you can splurge as much as you like in the Holy City."
Su Xiao didn't look at Veroni, he was making a sketch, and the old god had already told him the approximate location of Dead City.
The entrance to the Dead City is in the north of the continent, about two days away from the Holy City, it is a city ruin, during the reign of the Black King, the Dead City tried to assimilate the continent once, and the first unlucky one was the city called Sonan.
After only half an hour or so of assimilation, Sonan City was completely assimilated, and the residents of Dead City rushed out with it as an exit, but they were repelled by the Black King and the Black Armor Army, and after the battle, only 50,000 of the 970,000 Black Armor Army remained, and all of them showed signs of assimilation.
"You're not afraid that I'll escape from the Holy City with money?"
Veroni stood in front of the window with the waistband of her trousers in one hand and a large cloth bag in the other.
Su Xiao only glanced at Veroni, who tilted her head and jumped out of the window.
"Stop!"
A roar came from below the castle, and two minutes later, escorted by hundreds of soldiers, Veroni obediently left the manor through the main entrance.
"This is a good candidate, I will prepare other things, Kukulin, may God bless us."
"The gods have long been killed by the Black King."
"Perhaps."
The old man left the meaningful words and pushed the door out of the room.
……
The next morning, at six o'clock, at the city gate.
A horse-drawn carriage stopped in front of the city gate, and the huge metal carriage stood out, with a wolf head and a lion's tail on it, and a sharp thorn on its back.
The soldiers at the gate stood in two rows, they did not make a routine check, they just stood straight.
The carriage slowly drove out of the city gates, and the driver was Eminem, who was somewhat clumsily maneuvering the horses, and in the carriage, Veroni pinched her nose with one hand.
"Ah sneeze~"
Bu Bu Wang sneezed, and in desperation, he could only poke his head out of the car window.
"What's wrong with this woman, why does she smell fishy."
Veroni, pinching her nose, spoke, her voice a little muffled.
"This is a mermaid, you can call her the Queen of the Moon."
The old god stick looked as usual, supporting the doll-like Moon Queen.
"Mermaids?"
Veroni's hand was just about to pull the white cloth on the lower body of the Moon Queen, but she was beaten on the back of her hand by the old god's stick, this girl is a little familiar.
"Young people need to be polite."
The old god looked at Veroni with a smile, and the expression was clear: "Child, I advise you to be kind. ’
"Cut, it's so stingy, I just want to know how mermaids pee."
“……”
The old god smiled more gently.
"It's just kidding~ Don't be so serious, why don't you have any sense of humor, but then again, aren't we going to Dead City, there are no formations or star maps? Just go in a carriage? It was the legendary city of death and silence, and when I was a child, my grandmother used to scare me with the city of death. ”
Veroni lifted the loose belt, this thing is not an ornament, but a transcendent item that she obtained by chance, the effect is to reduce the speed of life flow, the disadvantage is that it is easy to drop pants, and it is impossible to avoid them by physical means, which is not only shameful, but also sometimes dangerous, such as tripping over pants when running away, it is really impossible to cry.
This thing is called 'Ancient Elf Wildness', and when worn on the body, it will reduce the rate of life loss, if it can live for 50 years, after wearing this thing, it can live for at least 80 years, and when injured, this thing can also slow down the speed of life flow, thus reducing the rate of death.
However, there are advantages and disadvantages to the transcendent items in this world, and although it is a bit shameful to easily drop pants, it is not worth mentioning compared to the buffs it brings.
After using it for a long time, Veroni discovered the characteristics of this belt, the tighter the pants on her lower body, the stronger the side effects of this thing, one time she tried to wear leggings, this belt directly pulled her upside down, now in retrospect, she can't help but slap her face with her hand, in order to dispel the embarrassing picture in her mind.
On the contrary, the pants worn are looser, and the chance of falling off the pants is smaller, and Veroni always feels that the way she uses this thing is wrong, very wrong.
"Nursery rhymes, isn't it sung like this, Dead City, empty, where to come, where to go, escape, catch back......"
Before the old god could finish the nursery rhyme, Veroni rubbed her arms in a shoulder-hugging position.
"Don't say it, it's a shadow of childhood."
"Who told you that this is a nursery rhyme ......"
“!”
Veroni looked at the old god stick in shock, and her expression gradually became serious.
"That's, that's ......"
Veroni was starting to feel bad.
"This is a rumor, believe me, the person who made up this nursery rhyme must not have personally been to the Dead City, which is a dead place full of death, despair, and terror."
The old god's eyes drooped, and his whole face became gloomy.
"I'll tell you what Dead City really looks like."
"Don't, I know that 5 million black stones are not easy to collect......"
The unexpected joy on the way, the old god stick just had nothing to do, scaring and scaring Veronie, Bu Bu Wang seemed to find the joy in it, and joined in, but it didn't take long for the old god stick to start telling ghost stories, and Bu Bu Wang began to hide in the corner and shiver.
