Ask for a consolation ticket for Children's Day

Listening to the cries in the courtyard, Mark Hatchy kept frowning, he knew which children were frightened by his murderous intent. (If you like this book, please bookmark biquge.info)

But it's not just these annoying voices that cause him distress, it's because he's running out of money.

In order to raise money for the trip to the Holy Lake, Mark Haddy has exchanged the last little savings he has for food and water for the journey. Since he got the first map drawn by Chen Kai and the others, the things on it were the most complete, so Mark Hedi needed to prepare the most. He spent twice as much food and water alone as Nasari's demon army, not just because of the amount of people he had to go to the Sacred Lake, but because he had a lot of hints on the map. Chen Kai and the others had marked almost all the dangers they encountered on the road, so that Mark Hedi had a deeper understanding of the dangers of that road than the demons and other people who peeked into the sacred lake with only a simple map.

On the map, some of the monsters identified by Chen Kai and others are extremely powerful, and it will take a long time for Mark Hedi to deal with them himself. Even though they may not be up to the standards of the Sanctuary, their strong vitality is actually more terrifying than some Sanctuary species. Their attack power is not necessarily very strong, but they are definitely very durable, especially the monster marked on the map that Chen Kai called the Rock Bull. When Mark Hedi finished reading the introduction marked by Chen Kai on the map, what came to mind was not the name written by Chen Kai, but the steel rock giant beast with the same appearance and strength. Of course, the two are in fact the same species, but Chen Kai named them after the other's rock skin and horns, while Mark Hedi's memories come from the knowledge accumulated by the Khedira adventurers for thousands of years.

The height of the steel rock giant beast is at least five meters or more, don't look at its unusually tame personality, especially Chen Kai recorded it in an extremely close state when recording the information, but at that time he didn't provoke the other party, and his own strength was too low. In the eyes of the steel-rock giant, Chen Kai and they are like little ants at their feet, humans will not pay much attention to ants except when they are bored, and they will not pay much attention to ants at other times, and the same steel-rock monster has the same attitude towards Chen Kai. Therefore, even if Chen Kai was very close, it ignored the other party, firstly, its character was relatively tame and it was not likely to attack weaker creatures, and secondly, because Chen Kai and they had not yet entered the recipe of the steelstone behemoth. After all, a docile personality does not mean that they do not eat meat, there are no monsters that do not eat meat in the wild of Khedira, and the only difference in judging whether they are tame or not is that there are too many for the weak. Gentle carnivores are less likely to fight the idea of weaker creatures, because they don't think the meat of the weaker creatures can provide them with adequate nutrition. The more advanced the lifeforms, the more picky they are about their food needs, of course, in terms of the nutrients that the food is rich in rather than the taste.

You must know that the weight of the steel rock giant beast itself is more than ten tons, and the energy consumed to move such a weight is very large, although ordinary meat can provide a certain amount of energy, it is definitely not enough for its own consumption. Therefore, in the recipe of the Steel Rock Behemoth, there is no food whose strength is lower than the seventh order, even if a demon enters its field of vision, as long as its strength exceeds the seventh order, it will become the object of its prey. The most terrifying thing is that the Steel Rock Behemoth is proficient in the Earth Movement Technique, a natural spell that can move at high speed on the ground relying on the leyline network, as one of the few earth-elemental lifeforms in the Khedira Plane. The Steelstone Behemoth is called the Goddess of Earth's pet and faithful mount by the demons of Khedira, and of course the demons are absolutely gnashing their teeth when it comes to the goddess of the earth, so they are also gnashing their teeth for this life called the pet and mount of the goddess of the earth. But that's definitely not hatred, it's fear.

As long as a high-level demon enters its field of vision, then very few can escape, and similarly, as long as a high-level human enters its field of vision, it will also not be able to escape. It's just that compared to humans, the steelstone behemoths like demons more, after all, humans have slightly less meat than demons, and at the same time, they are rich in slightly less energy. Even Mark Hedi himself will have a great headache in the face of the steel rock beast, first of all, he needs to have a headache is the opponent's defense, just its demonized steel armor rock skin is enough to block most of the physical attacks, weapons with a sharpness value below eight don't want to tear its skin, but weapons with a sharpness value of eight are almost all already the concept of high-level saint creation weapons. In fact, most of the Physics Department's sacred weapons could not reach a sharpness value of more than eight points, and there were only three weapons of this quality in Khedira, one of which had been buried in the ground with the fall of Surashia, and the other was in Mark Hedi's hands, which had been passed down from his father. The demons also had one, but it was damaged, and it was said to have been left behind after the death of the original demon lord of Khedira. This weapon is more appropriately called a demonic weapon, held in Nasari's hand, but this weapon cannot break through the skin of the Steelstone Behemoth, because the damage to it is the blade. So even if Nasari faces the steel rock behemoth, don't think about killing the other party lightly, and even run for her life if she sees the other party.

At the same time, according to the situation depicted by Chen Kai, there were at least three steel-rock giant beasts roaming in a small family on the road leading to the holy lake. This situation made it necessary for Mark Hedi to let the Casgat carry more supplies to stay away from the area where the Steelstone Behemoth was located, after all, even human cavalry on special mounts could not escape immediately when faced with the Steelstone Behemoth that could use terpographic magic. Unless they simply abandon their supplies and choose to fly, but that will put them in extreme trouble on the road ahead. At the same time, not all of the teams sent by Mark Hedi can fly, and the powerhouses of the Sanctuary are very rare in Khedira, especially the humans who have begun to decline from the high-level powerhouses. Among the team sent by Mark Hedi, only Casgot barely reached the threshold of the Sanctuary, so he specially suppressed all the demons at the moment he left the city, so that they did not dare to attack Casgot's team. But Mark Hedi knew that such a situation would only be useful in the two or three days that Casgat had been away from Khedira.

Once everyone leaves the area within a hundred kilometers of Khedira City, it is estimated that those demons may attack the team led by Casgt. For this reason, he specially instructed the other party to detour a certain distance first, and at the same time gave the other party the saber that sealed part of his power. The only use of this sacred weapon forged by Khedira City itself is that after being stimulated by energy, it bursts out with an attack equivalent to half the strength of Mark Hedi's full attack, which is the only hole card that Mark Hedi Jiao gave to the opponent. At the same time, he also believed that even if it was only half of the full force, no demon in Khedira could withstand such an attack. But even so, Mark Hedi was still very worried, and his eyes were always focused on a spar in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion. In this castle lord's mansion, which doesn't seem to have many decorations, this hedron is perhaps the most valuable magic item.

Although there are many oil paintings and portraits in the city lord's mansion, there is no way to sell those paintings for money, and everything that can be sold for money has been disposed of by Mark Hedi. If it weren't for the fact that the paintings were mementos left by his father, perhaps Mark Hedy would have sold the frames for the gold trim on them. Of course, another reason why he didn't sell the frame was that gold was not worth much in Khedira, and perhaps gold was more valuable many years ago, when Khedira's coquettishness was almost always calculated in gold. However, when a huge gold mine was discovered in the wilderness of Khedira, the value of gold dropped rapidly, and gold became like a wasteland, except for the occasional mage who needed gold for alchemy, even the poorest people would not use gold as a squander. Because Khedira's gold is even less valuable than copper coins, of course, Chen Kai and they don't know about this, otherwise they will definitely use the Mithril coins they have on hand to exchange for huàn gold and put it in their backpacks.

Even if they couldn't turn gold into circulating gold coins, the gold purchased by a single Mithril coin would be enough to exchange for hundreds of gold coins in the original continent. It's a pity that even now Chen Kai and they know that there is no place to exchange it, although Mark Hedi still has a good impression of them, but his control over the city is too poor, and many places are now controlled by demons. Although Mark Hedi is powerful, there is no guarantee that if he kills those demons, it will not cause more severe consequences. After all, half of the grain in Khedira was in the hands of the demons, and even though he explicitly forbade the Mage Tower to sell the food to the demons, the mages in the Mage Tower still violated his orders in order to obtain enough research materials. For the mage of the mage of the mage tower, Mark Hedi has no other way but helplessness, in the Khedira mage tower is the most transcendent existence, even Mark Hedi himself is helpless against it, even if his power can destroy the mage tower a hundred times.

After all, Khedira's food comes from the Mage Tower, Khedira's drinking water comes from the Mage Tower, and even Heedira's clothes are obtained by the mages in the Mage Tower from the other dimension by special means. The Mage Tower supplies the equipment of the Khedira soldiers, and the Mage Tower supplies the Qiē that Khedira needs to survive, and it can be said that even the bread that Mark Hedi eats at noon is cultivated by the mages of the Mage Tower. In the face of such a deposit, there is no way to suppress the other party, once they are provoked, they will only suffer from the people of Khedira. So even if the mage tower disobeyed his orders again, Mark Hedi could only pinch his nose and endure it, and in the end, he gradually developed the empty character and existence of the mage tower. In fact, the most annoying thing in Khedira is not the demons, but the mages who provide Khedira with a qiē are the most disgusting to the people. If it weren't possible, maybe the first to be destroyed at the moment when Khedira broke out would be the mages of the ** Divisional Tower.

The ** masters in the tower didn't know that their apprentices had doubled the price of food in the city and sold it, and they didn't know that the clear water used by those who just communicated with the water elemental plane would have an endless water source would be sold by their students at a higher price, and they didn't know that they were immersed in the plane magic array research guide zhì The entire mage tower lost control. Gradually becoming corrupt and degraded from the original neutral existence, those apprentices they trusted, under the influence of demons, gradually changed the neutral position of the mage tower and slowly led it in a terrible direction. For this qiē, those ** masters who study plane teleportation magic don't know at all, they only know that their apprentice has provided a qiē research material they need, and also provided a lot of materials for research, so that the elemental power in the mage tower continues to improve. Those ** masters didn't know that this qiē came from their apprentices' exploitation of the people in the city, and even the demons were tired of the mage apprentices who were gradually greedy, because they needed more and more than the bottom line of the demons.

It's a pity that the high-ranking mage apprentices don't know about this qiē at all, they are still glad that there are more and more magic crystals in their pockets, they are still rejoicing that the succubi provided by the demons are becoming more and more beautiful, and they are even more glad that their mentors are still immersed in the study of the teleportation circle. Mark Hedi saw the situation of those mage apprentices, but it was a pity that every time he protested to those ** masters, these mentor apprentices were like good babies who cleared themselves up, and even in the end, those ** masters thought that Mark Hedi was slandering his apprentices, which made the relationship between the City Lord's Mansion and the Mage Tower more and more tense. There is no way to deal with this, Mark Hedi can only continue to endure the more and more greedy mages, and now he has to face a new problem, that is, in order to take care of those deformed children, he needs a lot of food, but Mark Hedi, who has no funds in his hands, has no way to get food.

"Do you want to use that lake to make a coquettish exchange with those greedy mages?" Mark Hedi opened his drawer, and in the drawer lay half a bottle of turquoise lake water. Looking at this half bottle of lake water, Mark Hedi couldn't help but feel a trace of guilt in his heart, because he told Chen Kai that it was the lake water to treat the demonic patients of Khedira, but in the end, he gave the lake water to his subordinates, and they drank it. After drinking the water of the lake, Mark Hedi's soldiers were strengthened to a certain extent, and the demonic symptoms that plagued them even disappeared, and the most powerful of them, Casgot, even reached the edge of the Sanctuary. It only takes a little time for him to become a new Juggernaut of Khedira, and the first pure human Juggernaut among the Khedira humans. Even so, Mark Hedi still felt a little sorry for Chen Kai's trust, after all, the other party was able to get out of the lake because he believed in himself, but now not only did he not have the ability to fulfill his promise, but he also had to be wanted by the demon of Khedira City. At this thought Mark Herby could not resist wanting to close the drawer, but he stopped again when the drawer was halfway closed, for the bitter cries of the deformed children were heard in his ears again, all tormented by hunger.

Listening to the cries of the children, Mark Hherdy's hand about to close the drawer stopped again, and some images flashed in his mind, and finally he sat back in his chair and took out the remaining half bottle of the holy lake water with a trembling hand.

"I'm sorry, forgive me" With a hint of guilt towards Chen Kai, Mark Hedy stuffed the half bottle of lake water into his pocket. Then Mark Hedy put on his only decent dress, which was shiny on the outside, but its inner lining was already patched. In fact, if it hadn't been for Mark Hherdy's careful wearing, the only good garment would have been completely ruined many years ago. If it weren't for the special material of this garment, which had been carefully kept by him, it is estimated that Mark Hedi would have had to wear sackcloth clothes on the street like those children.

Slowly walking out of the city lord's mansion, Mark Hedi's mood was extremely heavy, and the hungry humans on the street shuttled by from time to time, originally these people would greet him in a friendly manner, but as the money in Mark Hedi's hands was gone, there were fewer and fewer people who could be relieved. As a result, those who greeted him gradually treated him with cold faces, and of course they greeted him in a friendly manner at some point, but Mark Hedy was keenly aware of the coldness on these friendly faces. For these eyes, Mark Hedi had no other thoughts than helplessness, he didn't know why some humans hated him, and he couldn't even understand why he had done so much for the humans of Khedira, and why the humans were getting weaker and weaker now.

With these helpless thoughts, Mark Hedi gradually approached the tallest building in Khedira City, the Mage Tower located in the south of the city. Compared to the rest of the city, the mage quarter of Khedira is perhaps the most beautiful and thriving. After all, most of the plant food produced here is produced here, and as far as Mark Hedi can see, there are two huge spell greenhouses covering an area of fifty acres. The two greenhouses were planted enough food to feed the entire population of Khedira, and hundreds of tons of wheat and barley were grown every week with the help of the power of magic. At the doorway of the two greenhouses there are several small houses, which are where the grain is sold. But to Mark Hherdy's surprise, the well-dressed mentors and apprentices who had been here had disappeared, and some were just a few listless janitors.

Looking at those gatekeepers, Mark Hedi suddenly felt that the air in the entire mage area was a little wrong, although his talent for spells was very poor, but he was strong, he could still clearly feel the magic elements in the air, which was the residual breath after the release of some high-level spells.

"Something might be going on here" Mark Haddy, who had such a thought flashing through his mind, clenched the long sword in his hand, and he slowly walked towards the tallest mage tower in the mage area, but before he could enter the gate, a charred corpse was suddenly blasted down from the mage tower. The remnants of the clothes on the corpse made his eyes shrink suddenly, it was a mage apprentice who had charged him fifty Mithril coins to sell food, but now the other party had turned into a corpse, and it seemed that it was another mage who had struck.
