Looking at the city lord of Khedira sitting on a bench with demonic horns, Chen Kai and the others suddenly had an extremely ridiculous feeling, as if the current owner of this room was not them but this person or demon who was sitting quietly in the chair. (The fastest update speed is in Aishang Novel Network biquge.info) The fact is that Chen Kai and they don't know the true race of the other party, because it is difficult for them to completely distinguish each other from their appearance, and if they insist on distinguishing, they may be called people with demonic horns.
While he was sitting, Chen Kai and the others didn't dare to take the food, so they could only swallow their saliva and look at the steaming food on the table not far away. The entire hut fell into a deathly silence, except for the sound of breathing, it was estimated that the only sound was the gurgling sound of Chen Kai's stomach.
"Outsiders! I hope you can sell me all the water in your hands! I can give you a satisfactory price! Mark Hedy's voice rang out, his voice was very calm and docile, without a hint of mania. In this place where the outside temperature is extremely high and full of manic atmosphere, his voice is like a clear spring that quickly cleanses people's hearts and makes people quickly calm down.
"Yes! But tell us what are you going to do with it? Chen Kai originally wanted to refuse the other party's request, but his words of refusal swept his eyes to the other party's avatar as soon as he was about to say it. The golden, dark and gold-rimmed avatar made him feel very stressed, especially the eyes that were as bright as sapphires, which made him instantly dispel the idea of refusal. According to the level of the original continent, Mark Hedi's level is definitely very high, so high that it may be a powerful existence of the legendary level. In the original continent, the legendary powerhouse could easily check the situation in Chen Kai's backpack space, so Chen Kai felt that concealing something would only make the other party suspect that he was waiting for the price to sell, and if he didn't do it well, it would cause adverse consequences.
"I need them to cure demonosis! I think if you hadn't drunk the water of the Holy Lake, you would have been eroded by the power in the air by now! The environment here is too harsh for us humans, the air is filled with the smell of demonization and depravity, many babies begin to demonize and deform after birth, and most of them will not live to be fifty years old except for those who have some demonic blood like me! Mark Hedi's words caused a roar in Chen Kai's minds, because he claimed to be human, but in Chen Kai's eyes, he didn't look like a human at all.
"What is demonization?" After listening to this, Fei Yun slowly raised his hand, it felt like the teacher was in class and Fei Yun, a primary school student, was raising his hand to ask questions. However, his question was very close to the question in Chen Kai's mind, because they had only heard of people being demonized, but they had not heard of the disease of demonization.
"Huh? Caroget! Please come in! Hearing Fei Yun's question, Mark Hedi was stunned for a moment, but he turned his head and shouted out the door, and with his shout, a soldier in full armor slowly opened the door.
"City Lord, you called me?" The soldier whom Mark Hedi called Carogue slowly took off his helmet, and from Chen Kai's point of view, his side face was a standard human face, and he still looked like a member of the Hansting Empire. Unfortunately, when he turned the other half of his cheek, everyone froze, because they saw the other half of Casgot's cheek.
Countless black scales grew densely on this half of the cheeks, and drops of black liquid flowed on the surface of the scales, slowly rolling down the surface over time. But under his neck there was a small vessel attached to the neck to catch the liquid, which was dripping like it would never end.
"See! This is demonization, unlike humans whose bodies are completely demonized, they are only part of their bodies demonized! There are nearly 10,000 such humans in all of Khedira, so I hope you can sell me all the water you have for the Holy Lake! Mark Hedi pointed at Casgot and said to Chen Kai, and when he finished speaking, Chen Kai and they quickly fell into thought, and as time passed, the temperature in the room gradually began to rise. Of course, this is not because Mark Hedi released his power, but because the Casgot came in and forgot to close the door, and the cool air released by the magic array in the guide room was gradually neutralized by the heat and then disappeared.
"This is the map to what you call the Holy Lake! Although we were chased many times along the way, we still recorded some markers, and when we reached the edge of the forest, we only needed to use a normal magnet magnetizer to point out the direction to the lake! Chen Kai obviously hesitated when he took out the map, this is not pretending, you must know that this map is a comprehensive map recorded by the six of them separately, and it is the most complete drawing for the aborigines. Just follow the route they marked, and you'll be able to reach the edge of the lake if nothing else. For the aborigines, the map given by Chen Kai is definitely more expensive than all the lakes he gives combined, after all, they are not players like Chen Kai, and they can use the special functions of the system map to judge the location and compare the direction. Players can use a certain coordinate point set up on the map to guide the map, and they can find the places they have visited in the past in a short time by comparing the drawn map.
Mark Hedy picked up the thick stack of parchment on the table almost with a trembling hand, and when he opened it, he saw a very detailed record of words and drawings. In order to ensure the authenticity of the map, Chen Kai and the others would gather together to summarize the qiē encountered on the road almost every day during their breaks, and they recorded all the items that could be used as markers, and if there were no markers, they would artificially make one. Along the way, several people used spells or manpower to artificially make a lot of signs, not only for the need to draw maps, but also so that they would not lose their way in the vast wilderness. Of course, making those icons also allowed Chen Kai to have something to entertain when they were bored, so that they would not be completely lost in the long road with no end in sight.
"Thank you!! On behalf of the more than 300,000 inhabitants of the human race in Khedira, I thank you! With this map, maybe no one will end their lives painfully due to demonization in the future, and no baby will be born deformed! Thank you for your contribution to humanity in Khedira! Mark Hedy tucked the map firmly into his arms with a trembling hand, he knew the value of this map too well, he was too tired to live as a human-demon hybrid who had been seeking the right to survive for the Khedira humans. When he saw those newly-born babies dying due to congenital malformations, his heart was very painful, which also led him to be unmarried and childless, but with his ability, even if he got married in a thousand years, no one would say that he was old.
"I just hope that what you say is true! I don't know who you are, but I believe him! Chen Kai pointed to the confused Cassgate who looked at Mark Hedi's excited expression, in Chen Kai's opinion, Casgot who had demonization was far more trustworthy than Mark Hedi who had demonic horns, after all, they had enough of the demon's suffering in the original continent. Especially under the guidance of the demons, the holy mountain and the main god of the Dawn Temple were almost killed. This can't blame Chen Kai for judging people by their appearance, in fact, as long as they are human beings who come to this plane from the outside world, as long as they are members of the temple camp, they will definitely choose to draw their weapons at the first glance when they see Mark Hedi, instead of patting each other on the shoulder to say hello.
Listening to Chen Kai's words, Mark Hedi sighed, the fact is that even in Khedira, there were many people who opposed him taking over the position of city lord, but he slowly changed this view with his own practical actions. However, even now, there are still some people who think that he has done something wrong, but being the lord of the city in Khedira is not a good job, he not only has to balance the relationship between demons and humans, but also has to tilt appropriately to the human side in the balance, but not too much. For Chen Kai and other outsiders, his appearance is really not particularly good, even under the influence of the water of the Holy Lake, he has always maintained the image of a human being, but the demon horns on his forehead have been evolving with the improvement of his strength. Now these two horns are half a meter long, and the naturally generated magic patterns on the face are very similar to those of some demon lords, and even more powerful, especially his own strength attribute is different from most demons. It was a pure primordial power between divine power and demonic power, a pure power that was close to platinum in color. There is no good or evil in this power, and it has no other special effects, but it makes Mark Heddy almost invincible in Khedira.
When Mark Hedi left with Casgot, Chen Kai and the others breathed a sigh of relief, especially Chen Kai's whole body was almost paralyzed on the ground. Because Mark Hedi's strength is too terrifying, even if he doesn't release his strength, Chen Kai and the others still feel that their bodies are pressing against a mountain. It was only when Mark Hedi left the hut completely that Chen Kai and the others felt that what they were pressing on them was gone. Of course, they also saw the trading items left on the table by Mark Hedi, which were six spars that emitted purple light, and they suddenly felt very familiar when they looked at these spars Chen Kai.
"Wouldn't this be an empirical hedron?" Fei Yun looked at the crystals on the table and said softly, then reached out and slowly touched a spar. When his fingers touched the hedron, the system's prompt suddenly remembered, and at that moment, everyone's faces suddenly changed and then sighed.
"That guy with demonic horns turned out to be from the good camp, and the system is really scary!" Looking at the kindness value increase index that popped up in the system log, Chen Kai sighed, because he knew that he had judged people by their appearance just now. In the system's camp judgment, Mark Hydi, who has demonic horns, is classified into the good camp, and their actions are obviously helpful to Khedira's humans or other good people who have been corrupted by evil forces, and naturally get a certain amount of goodness bonus. As for the purple hedron left by Mark Hedi, it is none other than the experience hedron in the system reward. It's just that in Khedira, this hedron is called a soul crystal, and it is a special energy carrier left behind after the death of some demons. This hedron can be absorbed by ordinary aborigines, thus gaining a certain amount of power for a short time, but it is only useful for aboriginal professionals below the sixth order. Of course, this kind of spar is only found in Khedira, and it is difficult for other parts of the original continent to give birth to such a spar even if the demon dies.
Chen Kai and the others didn't know the name of this hedron in Khedira, but they knew that they could gain 10 million experience points after using this hedron. Relying on these experience points, Chen Kai could rush to level fifty-four, and the others could reach level fifty-five. After all, the lowest level in the entire team is Chen Kai, and the others are basically fifty-five or fifty-four. Chen Kai didn't know if they had lost money in this transaction, but at least no one should come to trouble them again in the short term. After absorbing the experience points in the experience crystal, a few people can finally sit down for dinner. It's just that when Chen Kai and the others sat on the chair again and picked up the bread and prepared to eat, there was a knock on the door again.
"Why is someone here again?" Fei Yun looked at the bread in his hand depressedly, he was struggling fiercely at the moment, whether to put down the bread and open the door or eat the bread and go again. But soon he didn't have to worry about it, because Chen Kai had already opened the door, and standing outside the door was the Casgot who was supposed to leave with Mark Hedi, as the lord's entourage soldier, he was dressed unusually neatly, and the helmet he had taken off was now wearing it back.
"This is what the Lord of the Castle asked me to hand over to you! It is difficult to survive in Khedira without identification, and although those demons are suppressed by Khedira's laws and will not attack the inhabitants, no one can guarantee that they will not do anything bad under the temptation of their souls! So take these emblems to ensure that you will not be attacked by demons in Khedira, and you will also be free to enter and exit the city gates to venture outside and fight! I know you're a good warrior, and you're not strong enough, but the humans of Khedira need you, and I hope you can fight for the people here! The soldier, Casgart, spoke softly, but every sentence was so powerful that it was like a hammer striking steel. Chen Kai and the others felt that his slight voice might be due to demonization, and the evil force had destroyed his throat, making it impossible for him to speak loudly, but it couldn't change the way he spoke.
"Thank you!" Chen Kai took the six metal badges from Casgot's hand, the badge was faced with an image of a long demon's horns, looking at the horns, Chen Kai suddenly felt a bit like the pair of marks and herdy's heads. There is almost nothing special about the entire badge, neither adding attributes nor other special effects, just proving that Chen Kai is a member of Khedira. Of course, after wearing the badge, Chen Kai and the others saw that there was a reputation bar for Khedira's city in the system attribute column, and there were two different reputation lines in this reputation column, one was a blue line representing human beings, and the other was a red line representing demon forces. To Chen Kai's surprise, their reputation among the demons turned out to be a state of neutral preference, which made several people a little confused, as if they hadn't done anything beneficial to the demons in their memory.
"Anyway, have we done anything beneficial to the demons?" Chen Kai sat on the chair and asked while biting on his bread, but a few people thought about it for a while and found that they had basically not done any tasks since they arrived at Khedira, and they were directly caught by the Sword Demon Queen outside Khedira, and they were almost not killed.
"Huh! Won't it be because of the lake water we handed over that was about to lose its effectiveness? Xu Fei thought about it for a while and found that the time when Khedira had an intersection with the demon was only the time when he handed over the lake to the Sword Demon Queen, and he really couldn't think of any other place to have a conversation or task transaction with the other party.
"Like! Should! Be? Chen Kai wasn't sure if he had gained demonic favor because of that forced transaction, but when he recalled that time, everyone looked at Fei Yun with strange eyes, after all, he was the most embarrassed at that time. The spear that was fired almost pierced through the ball, and the unlucky guy who was scared to pee his pants was scared.
"That's it! Don't think about it, go to bed early! Tomorrow I will leave this house and look outside, hoping to find something useful in this city, and it would be even better if I could find the way back! Looking at Chen Kai's strange eyes, Fei Yunma wanted to change the topic, he didn't want to be reminded of that unbearable scene again. At that time, he almost thought that his balls had been pierced, and at that moment, the system controlled zhì's body to make a natural reaction that made him very annoyed, so he hated the system in his heart. It's a pity that the system aunt is obviously very fond of these things, and many players have been tricked by it.
But this time, Fei Yun succeeded in changing the subject, and at the same time reminded everyone of their ultimate goal, which was to leave this plane. It was only that the group soon fell into depression again, because they had a good chance to get an answer on whether they could leave this plane not long ago, but unfortunately they missed it. If they had asked Mark Khedi at that time, they might have been able to leave Khedira and return to the original continent by now. But they soon realized that even if they asked, it would probably be in vain, because if the humans of Khedira had a way to leave this plane, then there would be no such peculiar problem as the human being to change the demonic disorder.
"Hey! Sleep! Rest early, go out to level up tomorrow morning, and then slowly inquire about ways to leave this plane? Chen Kai slowly got up from the chair and walked to his own futon, and the others also sighed and walked towards their own bedding after hearing his words. Now they all miss the life of the original continent, at least where they can see the green forest, see the sun and the stars, smell the fragrance of flowers and plants, and hear the sound of streams. There is not a single qiē here, even where there are plants, all the plants are black and red, as if they have been transformed by evil forces.
"Knock knock!!" When Chen Kai and the others ripped off the quilt and prepared to sleep, there was a knock on the door of the house again, and this time the sound was even more messy and heavy, obviously the person who knocked on the door was not very good-tempered.
"Open the door! Open the door to the old lady! The voice of the Sword Demon Queen Nasari sounded from outside the door, and at that moment, Fei Yun directly shivered, and he seemed to feel a trace of cool air in the air slowly releasing it. When he turned his head, he found that the temperature in the room had dropped not because of the Sword Demon Queen outside, but because Xu Fei had increased the output power of the magic array that lowered the temperature.
"Boy! Give me a map of the road to the Holy Lake!! The moment Chen Kai opened the door, Nasari's expression with a hint of warmth and anger quickly came into view, and at the same time, Chen Kai's eyes were greeted by three I-shaped succubi hanging on Nasari's body with almost no clothes. At that moment, Chen Kai was directly shocked, not only by Nasari's words, but also by what he saw in front of him.
