Chapter 478: Shadow Demon Clan
What the hell is this retro way of talking!
Yang Hao was a little confused, compared to the surface world, the civilization of the underground world seemed to be even older, as if it was several centuries behind.
And who is that Count Marvin Sylvester, Yang Hao doesn't know this person at all, why did he let himself testify?
Raised his own questions, and Yang Hao quickly got the answer.
Only then did he learn that the person who went into the city with him was Earl Marvin Sylvester, a notorious cultist.
Since Yang Hao was seen acting with Count Marven, he was summoned.
And as long as there is the slightest sign of resistance in the process of summoning, the knights will immediately take the necessary measures, which is still the leniency made by the council after knowing the identity of Yang Hao's surface wizard.
Hearing this, Yang Hao instantly understood that the real culprit who burned the village that day was probably Count Marven.
There is nothing to hide from the original story, and Yang Hao's entire account of 1510 is clear.
The council obviously didn't believe it, mainly because along the way, Yang Hao and Marven's behavior was too calm, and from the background of the two, it was very abnormal.
However, the parliament was also unwilling to force Yang Hao. Most of the characters who can enter the underground world are not simple, whether they are vicious killers or heroes who have the world in mind, they all have a common characteristic.
There isn't much left in the surface world that would interest them.
So, Yang Hao was called in a daze, and was sent back inexplicably.
It's night, and in the days when Yang Hao is waiting for the mission to start, it seems that time is passing very slowly. Yang Hao, who was bored, was about to go to bed after drinking the last glass of ale, but at this time, someone knocked on his door gently.
When Yang Hao opened the door, he found that it was a young man wearing tattered clothes and dirty hair. He held a broken stick in one hand and a broken bowl with some leftovers in the other.
"Okay, okay master, give you money, master, it's okay to give you some food..."The young man looked at Yang Hao with a smirk, and then handed him the bowl.
Before Yang Hao could react, the innkeeper's voice had already reached his ears: "Who put this stinky food in the guest room?" Don't blast me out yet? How does this make the guests stay? ”
Later, Yang Hao saw the bartender and the boss running over together, and the two of them grabbed one of the young man's arms, and the rice bowl and wooden stick also fell to the ground, and the food inside was scattered all over the ground. The bartender said that he would come back to clean the room soon, and then dragged the young man out of the guest room with the boss.
And the young man kept shouting at Yang Hao: "Give me something to eat, sir!" Give me something to eat! ”
Just when Yang Hao had seen enough of this farce and was about to close the door and go back to his room to sleep, he suddenly found that there was a note mixed in the spilled meal. ”
Yang Hao subconsciously picked up the note and closed the door to watch.
The note was greasy, but the handwriting on it was still legible:
"Something, please. There is a wine truck at the back door, which can reach my mansion, and the empty barrels are fully prepared.
Gülen"
Jerome Gülen, who was once framed by Count Marvin and blamed him for cult sacrifices, was fortunate to be cleared of his guilt with the help of adventurers, and at the same time shattered Count Marvin's disguise.
Yang Hao was also idle and bored, so he went to the back door alone and saw two heavy carriages with some wine barrels stacked on them, and a few empty wine barrels on the ground.
When the two people who looked like horsemen saw Yang Hao come out, they immediately showed Yang Hao the crest of the Jerome family, and then invited Yang Hao into the wine barrel.
Obviously, Yang Hao didn't like such an indecent way of hiding, so he took out a handful of phantom powder and sprinkled it on himself.
Yang Hao's body immediately became hazy, almost imperceptible in the night.
After hiding, the carriage slowly began to move forward. Corona's road was relatively smooth, and Yang Hao also avoided a lot of bumps. The carriage came to a halt after about forty minutes of travel. Yang Hao found himself in a wide courtyard.
Yang Hao took it to the courtyard of the mansion. The butler led him through the corridors of the Jerome family mansion and into the small reception room on the second floor, where Jerome Gülen had been waiting for a long time.
Jerome Gülen looked a little haggard, and he was very worried about the arrival of Count Marvin.
"I think in the past few days in Corona, you have also learned about the problems that exist in the council now." Gülen glanced at Yang Hao, looking very tired.
Ha? What happened to the council?
Yang Hao was puzzled but remained silent.
"I suspect that Count Marvin has a huge conspiracy, otherwise he wouldn't have risked returning to Corona, so I want you to help me investigate the village of Hossman.
Although it is in ruins, there should be a clue.
Of course, your efforts will not go unrewarded, and I will give you one of the curiosities from the family collection. ”
Interesting, it seems to be the meaning of a branch task, first see how the reward is, and then consider whether to accept it.
"Can I pick and choose?"
"No problem, please see."
Gülen walked over to his desk and uncovered a red cloth revealing four items, which he had prepared.
The four items are: Dimensional Bag, Elven Boots, Unknown Harp, and Broken Rune.
The first three items were nothing unusual, but the last broken rune caught Yang Hao's eye at once.
He smelled a familiar aura on the broken rune, similar to the breath of the Immortal Flame rune.
It's also a rune with a witchcraft heritage!
"I promised."
Yang Hao immediately accepted the task, and picked up the broken rune and put it in his backpack.
Glenn frowned, and suddenly felt that he had made a loss-making deal, but he didn't say anything more.
…
The next morning, another knight came to look for Yang Hao, and it was time to set off.
The Principality Council decides to wage a war, a war against the Shadow Fiends.
Unlike Corona's ruling race, the Shadow Demon Clan is the original race of the underworld, and has been living underground since the birth of the world, and there are many of them, but they have little ambition and will only bury their heads in development.
The territory will not be broadened unless the population grows.
It stands to reason that in the vast underworld, the Shadow Demon Clan can always survive without fighting the world, but one of their characteristics leads to an irreconcilable conflict with Corona.
The Shadow Demon Clan loves the underworld very much, claiming to be the children of the world, so they are very repulsive to the things of the surface world, and place their residence in the rare connection between the underworld and the surface world, organizing the interconnection between the two worlds.
