Chapter 52: Arrival, Sunset City
The early morning sun gradually shone down, and in the Dino Forest, a team of mercenaries woke up and packed their own things.
Ash Bobi and Long Fan, who had meditated all night, came out of their respective tents, and Long Fan was now more and more accustomed to using meditation instead of sleeping. From the novels of his previous life, it is often seen that the protagonist uses meditation instead of sleeping, which is simply a fantasy for him, a person who likes to sleep. But when he really felt the feeling of being refreshed the next day after meditating overnight, he became addicted to this feeling, because he was so awake that he felt that every plant and tree in the world was clearly living in his eyes, not like in his previous life.
Long Fan also thought about the magic cannon for a long time. The magic cannon, as the name suggests, is a beam cannon that uses the magic core as the source to fire the energy in it. In the libraries of many colleges in the mainland, there are records about the magic guide cannon, which is called the ultimate defense against destructive weapons, because of its huge destructive power. Moreover, the speed of the magic cannon is very fast, and it is almost anywhere on the battlefield, and few people can dodge it.
Although few people on the mainland now know about the separation of the continent after the Great War of Gods and Demons millions of years ago, the story of the Great War of Gods and Demons is a well-known thing on the mainland. And legend has it that when the demons invaded the human city, this magic cannon played a considerable role, and it can be said that the human race was not exterminated at that time, and the magic cannon played a great contribution.
However, as the magic on the continent gradually disappeared, the magic cannon was gradually banned by the common treaty of several major countries. I heard that after research, the Continental Weapons Research Association found that the use of the magic guide cannon would be the destruction of the continent's geology, which might cause the collapse of the entire continent, so several major countries agreed to prohibit the use of the magic guide cannon after consultation.
Long Fan understands very well that this is the same as the nuclear weapons in the previous life, which are very dangerous weapons. However, Xiong Da and the others actually found in the Sunset City in front of them, and even the magic guide cannon that could be attacked, which made Long Fan more sure of his inner thoughts, this may indeed be the relics left here on another continent.
However, it has not been discovered for millions of years, and it is believed that there is something special besides the unique method of manifestation, such as ......
"Young master, it's time to go." Ash's cool and gentle voice came, Long Fan came back to his senses, smiled at her slightly, got up and continued to set off.
A team of people and horses walked through the forest, not to mention, the road that Xiong Da and they were looking for before really didn't have any particularly powerful dangers, and even demonic beasts rarely encountered them. But this also made those mercenaries a little uninterested, they were originally people who lived on the knife's edge, although it was a very dangerous mission, but there was no goal to vent like this, so they could be bored.
Ella looked helplessly at the scattered formation behind her and sighed helplessly. Although she said before that everything should be under her command, some things are not acceptable if you accept the right, and some things are still difficult to manage.
"Miss Ella." Long Fan's voice sounded in Ella's ears at this time, startling Ella, and she hurriedly took two steps back.
"Young Master Long?" Ella patted her chest, "What's wrong?" β
Long Fan looked at her that although she was in her thirties and close to forty, her social experience was so short, it seemed necessary to tell her about it, otherwise if something really happened and something happened to her, it would be really difficult to deal with her.
"Miss Ella, there's something I think I must tell you." Long Fan's expression was very serious, Ella looked at Long Fan's seriousness that she had never seen before, she was stunned, took two quick steps, and walked in front of Long Fan. Ash Bobby and Xiong Da walked not far behind them, separating them from the mercenaries behind them.
"Miss Ella, I wonder what you think of these conscripted mercenaries?" Long Fan looked at Ella and asked.
"Huh? Opinion? Ella was very puzzled by the question Long Fan asked, "Since we do this kind of life and death task together, we are comrades-in-arms who share life and death." β
Long Fan blinked, smiled wryly and shook her head, sure enough, her thoughts were so naΓ―ve.
"Miss Ella, I don't know how you recruited these mercenary groups." "At that time, there were only a few mercenary groups in the city that did not take the task, and they were very well manned, so I ordered someone to go and send them a summoning card. Summoning Cambodia is a means of recruiting mercenaries unique to the Mercenary Guild, which can recruit voluntary mercenary groups to help the Mercenary Guild. Ella said truthfully.
"Voluntary, since it is voluntary, is Miss Ella willing to define them as people who share life and death?" Long Fan asked.
Ella knows what Long Fan's problem is this time, but although she has been the head of the mercenary guild branch for eight years, she really has very little social experience. Although she has an experienced experience in seeing people, she also knows that the people of these mercenary groups are not soft-hearted people, but when faced with such a life-and-death problem, they should still be able to unite, right?
Long Fan shook his head and said, "Miss Ella, you must always remember one sentence, people die for money, and birds die for food." No matter how strong the relationship is, as long as there are enough tempting external conditions, it is inevitable that they will not betray or even stab you back. And you have to know that they are all ruthless mercenaries at heart, and their obsession with money is far greater than some dangerous threats. Do you remember the description of the City of Mercenaries by the thief who was the only one who came back from the first group to the City of Mercenaries? β
"Paradise for mankind, hell not here......" Ella muttered.
"That's right! Hell is a place of despair and danger that we all know. And that heaven, I think Miss Ella should know what I mean, right? Long Fan smiled, glanced at Ella, and walked a few steps slowly, walking with Ash and Bobby.
Ella turned her head to look at Long Fan with a childish face, although she didn't want to admit the truth that he was so interested, but the truth sometimes did not allow her not to admit it.
"I really don't know where he got so many old truths at such a young age." Ella muttered a sentence in her mouth, looked at Xiong Da who walked to the side, and whispered a few words in his ear.
Towards dusk, a group of men and horses finally came to a very wide clearing with no end in sight. This is indeed eye-catching enough in a forest, and the mercenaries look at the clearing in front of them, and are a little surprised by the environment here.
"This is it, now let's wait for the sun to set." In the tent, Xiong Da said solemnly to the mercenary captains and Long Fan and the others present.
Long Fan felt a kind of excitement in his heart, and a little nervous, all the mysteries were about to be solved. Whether it is the remains of another continent or not, as soon as the sun sets, we will know the way.
Everyone was resting, the sun was slowly setting over the mountain, and everyone kept their eyes on the clearing, hoping to see the wonder that Xiong Da said.
Sure enough, as the sun set little by little, the walls and buildings rose little by little on the originally empty land......
When the sun completely set, a towering and huge city appeared in front of everyone's eyes, Long Fan looked at the high city wall and clenched his fists.
Sunset City......
