Chapter 23: The Forbidden City Order (I)
The serpent, which was supposed to be "dead", rose to its feet again, and at least three times faster than before, attacked the unsuspecting Sapphiri again.
Originally, Safili thought that she had already eliminated her opponent, so she didn't pay much attention to a body that was theoretically dead, who would have expected this sudden change? When she realized that the situation was wrong, the attack was close at hand, and in her haste, she only felt that her mind was blank, and she couldn't think of any way to deal with it.
Fortunately, she was in a daze, and there was another person next to her who was very sober, seeing that the situation was not right, Zhu Lin also made a decisive move, Safili was the main target of his mission in the end, if he died here inexplicably, the system should not be so kind to continue to give another chance to remedy.
So, a tentacle of the wind wrapped around Sapperi's waist like lightning, pulling the person away from the snake's kiss at the last moment, and at the same time, a magnetic pole mark was attached to the body of the giant snake, and after the magic was activated, the giant snake that was still fierce and slaughtered was immediately lifted out of the body by a strong force.
Without waiting for the resurrected giant snake to regain its posture again, Zhu Lin had already found out the soul of the flame and prepared an explosive fireball, and the shattering fire enveloped the entire snake head and smashed it, completely dead, and could not die again!
It was only at this moment that the attacked Safili came back to her senses.
"Mr. Riel, what the hell is this ......?"
Obviously, Safili had never seen such a strange situation, and Zhu Lin had a grim face since the resurrection of the giant snake, in fact, he had seen something similar not long ago, the black patches all over the snake's body, and a pair of piercing blood-colored eyes, which was one of the phenomena unique to the curse of the Demon King!
Of course, when he encountered this situation before, it was in the copy simulated by the Tower of Battle, and Zhu Lin felt that it was acceptable to him what he encountered there, but now in the real world, the demon king or something, the seal of the fallen seal that had fallen more than 1,200 years ago, how could it come out again?
However, considering that the Great Destruction War 1,200 years ago was also the abyss realm suddenly collided with the main material world, there was no sign before, and a large number of demons appeared, precisely because they were caught off guard, and the human race suffered several defeats in a row, although it was predicted in advance by one of the three sages before the demon appeared, but his prophecy was not taken much seriously at that time, so it caused the tragic phenomenon of a large-scale defeat of mankind at the beginning.
The curse of the demon king, which should have disappeared for a while, actually reappeared, and Zhu Lin, who always felt that this was definitely not a good phenomenon, couldn't help but feel a little headache, but then he thought about it, he was a lower mage who hadn't even arrived at HR3, what was he doing with this kind of bird thing? The HR5 senior mages in the Pan-Human Alliance haven't moved yet, where is his turn to this idleness?
In this way, he will be calm, it's a big deal to wait for the territory of the Pan-Human Alliance, just find a branch of the Mage Association to report the situation, naturally there are those who have time and strength to deal with the problem, and as the discoverer and reporter of this abnormal situation, it is not necessary to get an additional subsidy income.
So while thinking about this, he also smiled at Safilie, who seemed to be a little uneasy.
"It's okay, it's not a big deal, just look at it, let's go, for the sake of this beast, we've been delayed for a long time."
Since Zhu Lin had already said so, of course Sapphiri didn't say anything, and after nodding obediently, she didn't look at the corpse of the giant snake.
After Zhu Lin and the others left, the black patches on the corpse of the giant snake suddenly began to gradually become larger, and a trace of black mist continued to diffuse from the snake's skin, and at the same time, the corpse of the giant snake also decayed and dissolved rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, but after a few breaths, it became a blood-drenched skeleton.
After the decomposed black aura lingered on the bones of the giant snake for a while, it seemed to be guided by some force, and it rushed up with a roar, flew in a certain direction, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
ββββββ Dividing Lineββββββ
In the afternoon of the same day, Zhu Lin and Sapphiri hurried to hurry, and even Zhu Lin put three one-star buff magic on the two of them in one go, so that they could be regarded as rushing to the destination of this time, a city called "Mecca Toby", within the budget time.
Of course, this is also the first time that Zhu Lin has seen a real city in this world......
Whether it is the previous Moloro Village or Kaom Town, one is a remote mountain village, the other is a small village and town, the scale is naturally completely unable to compare the area and scale with Mecca Toby City, although it is on the edge of the Pan-Human Alliance, but it can be regarded as a real regular city, and the first time he walked into the city, Zhu Lin suddenly had a strange illusion of "finally coming into contact with human civilization again".
Of course, this can't blame him for making a fuss, after all, he has been in a small mountain village almost isolated from the world for several months, and there are hundreds of people in a village dangling in front of him, and even a person will feel that he is simply out of touch with the entire human civilization.
It's just that after the initial excitement passed, Zhu Lin, who was walking on the city streets with Safiri, obviously felt a little strange.
In fact, he had a feeling when he first entered the city, when he entered the gate, there was a queue at the city gate, and it stands to reason that now is not a special day, and there are not too many pedestrians passing by in places like Mecca Toby City, how can it be a long queue simply to do an identity check?
Although he was a little puzzled by this, Zhu Lin didn't mean to delve into it, since others have their rules, then naturally they should do things according to the rules, and after waiting in line for half an hour at the city gate, it was their turn to check Zhu Lin and the others.
And the city guards guarding the city gate did not let go after Safili reported her identity, insisted on checking and determining Zhu Lin's identity, and successfully released Zhu Lin after Zhu Lin took out his mage badge, although it is said that there are similar inspections in every city, but under normal circumstances, as long as one person takes out his identity certificate, and then verbally guarantees the identity of the companions, if the general number is not very large, they are directly released.
Like now, everyone has to carefully check the past practices, which is naturally a little strange, and after entering the city, Zhu Lin found that although the streets of the city are also full of people, most of the people are in a hurry, and they look like they can't wait to finish their errands and rush home.
Just when Zhu Lin was thinking so, a passer-by seemed to be walking too quickly to see the road clearly, and collided with Zhu Lin, on the spot, this young man who didn't look very old was also embarrassed Dao Lu apologized twice, and after Zhu Lin said "Forget it, it's okay", he immediately walked away quickly.
"It's strange, people here weren't so rude before......"
Obviously, Safili was very dissatisfied with the young man's reaction after hitting someone just now, in her opinion, at least she should apologize seriously, and then politely ask if she had hurt the other party, but there was no reaction, and it would be too rude to apologize casually and leave directly.
However, Zhu Lin didn't care about this, he just touched his chin thoughtfully, and then reached out and took out a small silver coin.
Sapphiri followed Zhu Lin's movements and focused her eyes on the silver coin in his hand, but she couldn't take her eyes off when she saw it, in fact, there are not many people who can still recognize the Barolph Abyss Coin now, but Sapphiri happened to be one of them, seeing that Zhu Lin actually took out this priceless treasure casually, her face also became delicate.
Of course, Zhu Lin's next action surprised her even more, and she saw Zhu Lin unceremoniously throwing the priceless treasure in his hand into the sky, at that moment, Safili only felt that her heart was uncontrollably beating twice together, fortunately, Zhu Lin's next action did not further challenge her poor nerves, but calmly reached out to catch the falling silver coin.
"Positive figures...... Is it? β
While saying this, Zhu Lin also opened the palm holding the silver coin, and sure enough, it was exactly the same as he said, the side of the silver coin facing up was the side with the number, so Zhu Lin, who had done this action, put the silver coin back in his pocket (in fact, it was taken back into the museum), and then patted Safili on the shoulder and gave her a bright smile.
"How? Interested in having a drink with me? β
"Huh...... Oh......"
Safili, who was a little overwhelmed by Zhu Lin's sudden attack, was stunned at first, and then nodded stunned, seeing her nodding, Zhu Lin didn't say a word, and directly took someone to pick a tavern at random and went in.
After ordering two glasses of low-alcohol fruit wine with great interest, Zhu Lin also took out an ordinary silver coin from his pocket, and then approached a young bartender and put the silver coin on the table.
"I'm sorry little brother, can you please inquire about something?"
Obviously, the other party also understands the rules, and immediately smiled and put down the wine glass that was being wiped in his hand, and while quietly taking the silver coin, he naturally spoke.
"Of course, it's my pleasure to be able to help our guests, how can I help you?"
"Isn't there something big going on in the city lately? I think the atmosphere is very tense~"
In this regard, the young bartender also made up his mind, first looked around carefully, and then stepped forward and replied mysteriously in a low voice.
"I don't know this very well, but according to the messages in the city in the past few days, it seems that there are some mutated monsters in the suburbs, and these monsters are crazy to attack the humans passing by, and there have been dozens of attacks in the past half a month, and according to some rumors, some of the humans who were attacked by those monsters have also become the same monsters!"
