Chapter 79: A Blank Shot
Lane City.
During this time, a series of major crises suddenly erupted, plunging the entire city into turmoil.
Thinking that it was just an ordinary lich rebellion, the heir of the realm and the elite of the Phoenix family went together to completely deal with the evil lich that threatened Lane City.
As a result, when I arrived at the place, I found that it was not an ordinary lich at all, but the servants of the god of death, Naraku, who forcibly built a base there, exposing the evil god to the public for the first time.
What's even more terrifying is that the other party did not hesitate to consume divine power to completely turn it into a realm of death, filled with terrifying death energy, once a creature dies in that place, the corpse will definitely become an undead creature!
Now that the Dead Realm has covered a large area northwest of Lane City, the area has expanded to the size of Lane City, and countless creatures have been reduced to undead under the erosion of death energy.
But these low-level undead creatures can be called the best leveling mobs for the gods.
Low defense, poor attack, slow speed, and a wealth of killing experience have attracted a large number of gods to rush over and form teams to venture and fight around the Dead Realm.
Not only the Death Domain that suddenly appeared, but in the Death Swamp located southwest of Ryan City, an ancient black dragon actually appeared!
The other party had been sleeping in a cave somewhere in the Death Swamp, and it seemed that he had woken up after enough sleep and began to hunt on the vast Death Swamp, which immediately caused countless creatures to flee the swamp in terror.
Some lizardmen, trolls, ogres and other creatures that originally settled in the Death Swamp have surrendered or relocated.
An ancient black dragon with a challenge level of 22 is enough to easily wipe out any race here.
As a result, under the pressure of the dragon, many beasts fled and got closer and closer to the city of Lane.
But in this way, the gods will like it even more, and they can engage in fierce and frequent battles without going deep into the swamp, so as to quickly improve their own strength.
Originally, most of the monsters around Ryan City were cleaned up, and if you want to fight, you have to stay dozens of miles away from the city, and it is not easy to find those cunning monsters, which is of little significance to the gods.
But now, the emergence of the Dead Realm and the awakening of the black dragon of the Death Swamp have caused thousands of gods to pour into the city, and it has also driven the economy of the entire city, especially the industries of blacksmithing, potions, and enchantments.
Where there is demand, there are business opportunities, and these industries, which are closely related to the battle, naturally benefit the most......
The sun is gradually setting on the horizon, and the brilliant sunset on the horizon is still lingering.
Adventurers who had gone out to fight returned one after another to consume and replenish and dispose of the items and materials in their hands.
Adventure is not a game, you have to be prepared, otherwise you will not be able to move an inch outside.
Food, water, insect repellents, antidotes, healing potions, and holy water against the undead are all consumables, and even if you fill up your space equipment, you'll quickly run out of steam.
The West City Gate was bustling with people, most of them were returning gods, and there were some ordinary businessmen.
The soldiers guarding the gates of the city stared at the passers-by, and the flow of people had increased several times over the years, making their task even more onerous.
But no matter how tired they are, they must do a good job of guarding, otherwise if something happens, they won't be able to eat and walk around.
At this time, someone rode a handsome high-headed horse from the west, which attracted a lot of attention.
The other party's mount is too attractive, it belongs to the kind of top-level war horse, and not many people can afford to buy and raise a war horse of nearly a thousand gold coins.
The purchase of this kind of war horse is only a part of the cost, and the daily care and maintenance is also a large amount of money, which is an expensive luxury for most adventurers.
Adventurers basically hire a carriage when they go out, and when they get close to the wilderness, they will let the carriage return, otherwise they will not have as much time to take care of their mounts in the dangerous wilderness.
At this time, Marcus, the captain of the guard in charge of the security of the city gate, suddenly exclaimed: "Little master!? ”
He was a little unconvinced, but he had seen the other party's face more than once, and he could see that the calm and handsome face was the only heir of the family, the young master!
However, didn't the other party have already been buried in the terrible Death Domain, how could he rush back unscathed?
The other party rode up to him, looked at him condescendingly and smiled, "Marcus, long time no see." ”
"Oh my God, it's really a little young master!" Marcuston confirmed the identity of the other party, whether it was his face or tone and voice, it was the same as the little young master in his memory, which made him tremble with excitement.
"Little master, where have you been during this time, there has been no news from you for so many days, so everyone thinks you are ......"
A burly man danced excitedly, as if he could not express his inner joy without doing so.
"I went to a relatively far place, which is why I was delayed for so long. Okay, I'll go back to the City Lord's Mansion to see my father first, and I'll talk about it later. The handsome young man on horseback said gently.
"Okay, I'll let the Earl know. Little Master, it's good that you're back, and I hope you won't be too shocked when you see the Earl. ”
After Marcus calmed down, he sent a guard to gallop back to the City Lord's Mansion on horseback to pass on the good news first.
Not far away, the gods who lined up to enter the city showed their surprise, and they turned their heads one after another.
Obviously, this handsome young man is the only heir to this vast territory, and it seems that he can choose to curry favor with the other party in order to obtain a good reward.
For the gods, the higher the status of the aborigines, the more abundant the harvest.
The other party's casual orders will involve the entire Ryan City, which belongs to the powerful people among the aborigines, so they naturally have to curry favor with them, so as to receive a well-paid task......
……
With the transmission of the news, the entire City Lord's Mansion was completely alarmed, and one by one the servants rushed to tell each other, so that all the members of the Phoenix family knew the news and stood guard at the gate.
Su Yun rode into the City Lord's Mansion, jumped off the horse at will, handed the reins to a groom, walked forward under the gaze of many people, and greeted these people casually.
The little maid Bella had already greeted her, her eyes red like a rabbit, and the luster of water mist.
As the personal maid who knows him most well and has been with him for the longest time, his disappearance naturally worries and fears the other party the most.
But Bella didn't say anything, and directly took Su Yun to the place where Lord Earl was.
After Su Yun saw the Earl with his own eyes, he finally understood what Marcus meant, and the figure in front of him made him a little unable to believe his eyes.
I saw that the other party's original brown and black hair had completely turned into a full head of white hair, and his tall and burly body had become rickety, and his face was full of wrinkles, as if he had aged dozens of years all of a sudden.
White head in one night!
From this, you can see how much pressure the other party has been under in the past few days!
Su Yun walked up to the other party and said softly, "Father, I'm back!" ”
"Well, it's good to be back." The Count reached out and pressed his hand on his shoulder, his body trembling slightly, showing his inner unease.
"Come with me and tell me what's going on."
