Chapter 15: Contour Lines
Because the place where Niko is located is relatively remote, so you can see the imperial capital soon, and the dense jungle around it can't stop the towering fortress, the city lord once said that with the fortress the imperial capital has held dozens of waves of demonic beast frenzy, pay attention to the importance of this place.
Although abandoned by the gods, these empires are not fuel-efficient, etc., the financial and material resources required to build such a huge fortress are astronomical, coupled with the greed and exploitation of the Holy See of Light, the empire is infamy, but the benefits are earned by the Holy See of Light.
But those things don't matter about Niko, he is here to move the wealth of the Holy See of Light, not to play here.
The embarrassed scream quickly disappeared, and Nigu did not find the helper, thinking that the scream just now was probably a bait, and the other party secretly left when he saw that he was not sure how to deal with him.
Subconsciously looked at the big sword behind his back, and Niko finally understood the root cause, he had scared the other party away by mistake.
Shaking his head, Niko slowly approached the fortress, and also saw clearly the strong fortifications on the periphery, and the city walls were made of cement, and the group of elders of the Holy See of Light was running quite fast.
There were three or four soldiers standing on each side of the city gate, and these fortresses were also built on the city wall, which seemed to be careful turrets, assuming magic crystal cannons on them, many demonic beasts had suffered a lot of losses on them.
Nico didn't stay in the fortress for long, he just looked at the structure and left early, the fortress is only the periphery, the imperial capital is still in the center, and there are several towns to pass on the way, those mountains and forests are a little scarce, probably to better observe the terrain.
After a night of cultivation, Niko stopped in a forest, planning to spend the night here, not that he didn't want to go to the town, but the town was still far away from here, and he didn't want to go at night.
Nigu took out a large number of pages of the map, the parchment scroll was given to him by the city lord, but the rough map and route still made him a little embarrassed, the route was right, but it was too rough, many ravines and the like were omitted, and it was really not a good choice to want to go over.
"At this rate, you will be able to enter the imperial capital in three or four days......"
Sighing softly, Nigu rolled up the parchment map, put it in the system space, and finally took out the big sword and began to observe, the exclusive weapon he wanted to build was the big sword, and what he could block with a sword was definitely not an ordinary demonic beast, but it was enough for him to protect himself.
Although he was in the wild, Niko still fought the hare, washed and peeled and roasted on the volcano, but his mind was immersed in the eye-catching items of the system.
"Potion of Nothingness: Transforms itself into nothingness, touches all breaths, cannot attack during the period, the effect lasts for one day - 1000 faith points are required to exchange this item!"
"Wall Piercing Potion: Pierces all obstacles and lasts for one day - 1000 Faith Points are required to redeem this item!"
The reason why he has the confidence to lurk in the Holy See of Light, Niko is interested in this potion, one day is enough time for him to find the treasure house, and with the wall piercing potion, it is a tomb robbery artifact.
Rustling......
"Who's there...... ......Feeling movement in the jungle, Niko spoke calmly and paused, but his hand grasped the hilt of his sword.
Hearing Niko's shout, a man and a woman came out of the grass, their hair still stained with a lot of weeds, presumably squatting for a long time.
"We're in trouble, can you save us?"
Hearing the woman's voice, Niko was stunned for a moment, wasn't this the voice he heard outside the fortress!
The girl and the boy were holding each other, and they were seriously injured, and their expressions were a little difficult, but the boy seemed to be more injured than the girl.
Ear Weidong, Nigu pointed to the fire beside him and said, "You guys come here." ”
The two were stunned for a moment, but they obediently walked over to do a good job.
The girl was about to say something, when a group of adventurers in leather armor came out of the jungle and surrounded Niko and the others at once.
"Who are you?" Nigu calmly roasted rabbit meat, and there were no adventurers like Aunt Zi at all.
Looking at Niko, who had some aura, the burly leader walked out and said, "We are all members of the wolf killing mercenary group, please don't meddle with your excellency, we will only arrest the two of them." ”
"What did they commit?" Niko asked.
The leader is only a second-order, although it is a bit threatening, but Nigu is not afraid, his body forging technique makes his body different from ordinary people, the burst fireball is enough for them to drink a pot, if it really can't be sacrificed, the small javelin, he believes that the people of these mercenary groups are definitely not as hard as the javelin.
"They stole our treasure map......"
The girl interrupted the leader's words and directly revealed the truth: "He is lying, this is what we found, they robbed!" ”
Niko frowned, and said coldly: "Now is the time for the human race to resist the demonic beasts, don't you have a sense of shame in doing this?" ”
From the perspective of the battlefield, Niko knew that the girl was not lying, and she took out the parchment, but the leader's expression changed, and it was clear who was lying.
"Is Your Excellency going to be an enemy of the Wolf Slayer Mercenary Regiment?" Seeing that the matter was revealed, the leader said in a deep voice.
"You can come and try it." Niko didn't continue to talk nonsense, drew his big sword and pointed it at the leader.
He can see that only the leader jumps, and the rest of the members don't have to care at all.
"Then let's try it......" The leader drew his great sword, and rushed in front of Niko with a fierce dodge, and the great sword slashed down.
While!
Niko blocked the leader's big sword with a sword, and with a backhand, the leader's big sword flew out of his hand.
Looking at the blade on his neck, the leader was in a cold sweat, and he couldn't imagine that Niko's strength was much more terrifying than he imagined.
"Since you have done it, then you can stay." Nigu said to the king, and as soon as his hand was forced, the leader fell to the ground holding his neck, and soon lost his breath.
The leader couldn't even take Niko's move, and the people around him suddenly retreated, Niko looked around and said coldly: "Do you want to find death?" Don't get out of here! ”
When the rest of the people heard this, they hurriedly fled in all directions, and the depressed atmosphere suddenly dissipated.
Niko eats the rabbit meat and then stirs up a little fire and throws it at the leader, causing the flames to burn the corpse of the other party.
The good mood was also broken, and this group of people just couldn't stay at all.
Why do some people always think they can kill me?
Nigu was a little helpless, he hadn't transformed into Tiga yet, they fell, and the scum who couldn't even beat the human body came to provoke, I don't know who gave them the courage.
"Thank you for your help...... We don't have any feelings, and we hope you will accept it. ”
The two discussed in a whisper, and the girl handed the treasure map to Niko.
Desperately fighting, I don't want the last one?
Niko was a little stunned, what kind of god is this?
Except for being confused, Niko couldn't describe his mood at the moment, especially with the familiar rough abstract map on the map.
People from another world...... You should study the contour line well......
