Chapter 259
"Boss, I suddenly feel cold behind my back, where is the cold air blowing from on this hot day?" Fei Yun squatted next to Chen Kai, and at this moment they had already taken off all the cloaks on their bodies. Where are the novels updated the fastest? Please look for the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info{Aishang Novel Network biquge.info} because you have a pass issued by the Sheriff of Fort Kesara. They don't have to worry about being arrested as wanted by passing guards. Of course, this does not mean that their wanted warrants are over. After all, the sheriff recognized Chen Kai as law-abiding citizens at most, but he couldn't eliminate the wanted warrants that Chen Kai was carrying, and only the Senate or the Imperial Court could do so.
But even so, for Chen Kai and them, the sheriff has already been a great help. At least they no longer have to hide from the guards on the road in their cloaks on hot days, and they don't have to sneak around when they see the guards, for fear of being caught by the other party.
"Don't say that I also feel cold behind my back, everyone should be careful, I always feel as if someone has been eyeing us since entering Fort Kesara, and now we are about to arrive in the imperial capital, we must not overturn the boat at this juncture" Chen Kai shrunk his neck, he always felt that his heart was not steady, as if there was always a pair of eyes staring at him behind his back.
"Got it," the others replied to Chen Kai's words in weak voices, because they were really about to die from the sun. Even if you sit in a carriage with ice cubes, you still feel a wave of heat coming in, let alone the people who are sitting outside the carriage and driving the carriage. Chen Kai has a big straw hat on his head, which is very similar to the big hat in Mexico in reality, but although the hat is large, the Yin shadow created by the hat can't withstand the sun's exposure.
Chen Kai looked helplessly at the undulating ears of wheat on the side, as the most important granary of the empire, the grain produced by the entire Golden Great Plain in one year was enough to sustain the needs of nearly half of the empire's population for two years. But that's just the count, and although the undulating waves of wheat seem so vast that they look like a sea of gold, most of the grain here doesn't go to the empire's warehouses and is sold to merchants to take to other places.
As for where the merchants would transport the grain to sell, it was naturally the places where the grain was bought at a high price, or where they could exchange precious goods for food. But this grain certainly does not go into the hands of the poor who cannot even afford to eat and wear, so in many cases the poor people's bad feelings towards merchants come from this.
Of course, this cannot be blamed entirely on the greed of the merchants, if it were not for the great nobles who grabbed the output of the land and waited for the exchange of gold coins, the merchants would not have had the opportunity to get their hands on the grain. Now that they have spent money to get their hands on food, it is even less likely that they will sell it to the poor at a loss. However, these things have nothing to do with the player, who is just a traveler in the game, and although they join the game and are deeply involved in it, they are actually out of it.
However, for this vast wheat field, many novice players are very much looking forward to the wheat in the wheat field ripening as soon as possible. After all, tasks have been posted in the villages of various regions, and harvesting one acre of wheat will give you 10 silver coins, plus one kilogram of flour. Although the flour is fresh, a novice player with only a few credits in their backpack will be able to do it even if it's just ten credits.
In addition to these things, after harvesting ten acres of wheat fields, you can get a scythe for free, and that kind of huge scythe can be the best attack weapon during this period. Of course, the premise is that these players can use it proficiently, but this scythe used to harvest wheat is very large and difficult to wield. However, in order to be able to lighten the tough wheat stalks, it is often polished and made to be extremely sharp. Most scythes have a minimum sharpness of 2 points, and if you are lucky enough to come across a well-made scythe, you will have a chance to get a 3-point sharpness weapon in the novice stage.
It's just that this kind of scythe is very rare, and only two of the tens of thousands of novice players who harvested winter wheat at the beginning obtained a scythe with a sharpness value of more than 3 points, which shows how low the probability is. However, this kind of scythe is not very useful to Chen Kai and them, and they are still the kind that hide as far as they can. After all, looking at the huge scythe, Chen Kai and the others thought of the Death Divine Summon, which almost killed them.
Chen Kai and his group of fifteen people have been rushing in the carriage, even when other merchants drove the carriage into other roads into the surrounding cities to rest, Chen Kai and the others still kept moving forward. At most, stop occasionally in the village along the road to buy some bread or smoked Rou for your daily needs.
However, Chen Kai's behavior made Corian, who had been looking for an opportunity to make a move, and his face was almost blue with anger. After all, if he wanted to steal something from Chen Kai, then he would definitely have a chance to get close to him, but Chen Kai and the others didn't go into the lively towns, and only bought supplies in the villages. You must know that those villages are very wary of outsiders, and if Corian enters the village, he will probably be discovered by the villagers before he has a chance to do it.
"This group of damn travelers of his **, why don't you go into the city to rest" Corian was extremely anxious and hid in a wheat field far away from Chen Kai and them, the lush wheat around him made his whole body extremely uncomfortable, and the scorching sun made the sweat on his head keep dripping. Even Corian, a high-level assassin of the 9th order, felt extremely uncomfortable, as if he would suffer from heat stroke if he was not careful.
You must know that in order to find an opportunity to attack, he has been chasing Chen Kai and their butts for 3 days. Even at night, because of Chen Kai's shift change, he had to grit his teeth and chase behind, and he had no time to rest and sleep. If it weren't for his physical tenacity, he would have died of exhaustion in the long run. So the current Corrian's resentment towards Chen Kai is very strong, and he can't wait to rush up and slaughter Chen Kai directly.
Of course, if it weren't for the Fear Empire's powerful control in the Golden Plains, Corian would definitely rush out and slaughter Chen Kai and them. For a high-level assassin with a rank of up to 9th, killing a dozen fourth-order little guys was no more difficult than crushing an ant. But Corian can't do that, although the Golden Great Plain is very wide, even if dozens of people die, as long as they find a place to bury it, it is estimated that they will not be found for decades, but what makes Corian depressed is that Chen Kai is too careful. Every time he passed through a village, he would register with the postman inside, and if he didn't show up in the next place, the sheriffs of the other cities would be able to investigate and punish him.
The most important point is that Corian knows that Chen Kai and they are all travelers, and even if they die, they will be resurrected in the Hades Temple in other cities, and when the time comes, he will be chased and killed by a group of guards, even if he is a thief of the Holy Rank or the king of killers, he will have to finish playing. So no matter how much Corian held a grudge in his heart, he could only shrink in the wheat field and stare at Chen Kai and them with hatred.
"You have to find a chance to start, otherwise it will be too late to go down and enter the imperial capital" Looking at the golden light coming from the distant place in the distance, Corian, who had come to the imperial capital countless times, knew that it was the divine grace light that was constantly emitting from the zenith of Xijing. Under this radiance, as long as you enter the Golden Great Plains, you can see the location of the imperial capital, even at night.
"Brother Shui, I always feel that someone is following me these days" Zhou Xuan's words sounded in the team channel, and then there were echoes from other people.
"Did you just find out? The guy had been following him for three days, and he was wearing a pitch-black robe for fear that others would not be able to see him from a distance. I've never seen a stalking like this, it's just Tai Chi," Fei Yun said with a laugh, although he didn't see Corian's appearance clearly, but he used the Eagle Eye telescope to spot the other party several times. It's just that every time he had to take a closer look, Corian would fall on his stomach and disappear from the camera.
"Okay, don't laugh, everyone pay more attention, that guy hung behind us for three whole days without rest, and he is definitely not an ordinary character. It is estimated that the level will be very high, so we have to pay more attention, don't give the other party a loophole" Chen Kai patted Fei Yun's head and asked him to pay attention to it so that Corian, who was following behind, would not find out.
"Got it" With this answer, everyone began to prepare slowly, the scrolls that could be used were stuffed into the belt, and the equipment that should be worn was put on, and it was too late to put on the armor when the other party touched it in the middle of the night. Of course, it was only for the people sitting in the carriage, and Chen Kai, who was driving the carriage, still looked whatever he wanted, without revealing a flaw for Corian behind him to notice.
But no matter how Chen Kai tried to cover it up, Corian finally noticed it, and of course, when he noticed it, his face was almost as green as tea leaves. He could never have imagined that his decades of thief career would be defeated in such an inconspicuous place, and he would forget to change the illusion spar of the cloak on his body. As a result, the cloak that was supposed to be able to change color to fit the environment remained black all the time, and he wore this black cloak to chase after Chen Kai and them for four days and three nights.
"These bastards have actually hung me like a monkey in the back for four days, so good, tonight I will let you taste the power of my dark night killing" Corrian's face distorted, and he blamed all the blame on Chen Kai and them, because Chen Kai and his party had an indelible stain on his thief career, so he had a murderous intent in his heart.
"That guy hasn't seen anyone in the afternoon, can't he be exhausted?" Fei Yun put away the binoculars in his hand and said to Chen Kai, he had been holding the binoculars and lying on the carriage for a whole afternoon, but there were still wheat around, and occasionally a few merchants passed by with a carriage, but it was also evening. The hot weather has led many traders to choose to go out by day or night, or simply travel only in the second half of the night and in the morning.
"It's not good, it seems that that guy already knows that we have found him, it is estimated that he will do it in the evening, and he will be confused by me" Chen Kai felt strange and a little happy at first, but then he thought that he might immediately become very nervous.
"What? Wouldn't you, boss? This is the sphere of influence of the imperial capital? Fei Yun and the others asked in great surprise, according to the information they got, the murder incident in the imperial capital will alarm the imperial capital's army, and even if that guy has three heads and six arms, it will be impossible to escape the army's pursuit at that time.
"What's not going to be? If you are hung in the back for more than three days, you will ignore it" Chen Kai said with a gloomy face, the more he thought about it, the more likely it became, the man in black behind him must be recuperating and preparing to attack them at night.
......After listening to Chen Kai's words, everyone else felt that this was very possible, and a tense atmosphere enveloped everyone's hearts. But soon everyone regained their calm, and they did whatever they had to do, in fact, they didn't have anything to prepare, and if the other party's strength was stronger than them, no amount of preparation would be in vain.
However, although Chen Kai and the others may not be able to beat the man in black behind, they still prepared something that could surprise the other party. For example, more than a dozen explosive bombs bundled together can be pulled together in an instant at a critical moment, and then a loud bang will be heard. According to Fei Yun's calculations, the combined power of these explosive bombs was enough to send Chen Kai into the sky three times in an instant.
Of course, Fei Yun didn't know if the power of these explosive bombs could send the man in black behind him to the sky, according to his estimate, as long as the other party was not particularly strong, he should be able to kill the other party, and no matter how bad it was, the other party could be seriously injured. Of course, this qiē is all according to the best of luck, if they are unlucky, they may not have a chance to use the explosive bomb and will be killed by the other party.
As time passed, the sky became darker and darker, and the surrounding ears of wheat slowly rose and fell in the evening breeze, but these breezes could not dispel the Yin shadow in Chen Kai's heart. Especially when they found that the nearest village was also a few kilometers away, Chen Kai's heart slowly sank into the water, and there was no more suitable place for the other party to start than this kind of place where there was no village in front and no store in the back.
"Coming," Fei Yun snorted, a pitch-black figure gradually appeared in the dim starlight, he moved so quickly, no wonder he could catch up with Chen Kai and their carriage on foot. The other party just crossed the wheat field more than ten meters up and down, and his body ran at high speed on the top of the wheat ears as if it had no weight. Looking at the other party's appearance, Fei Yun suddenly thought of the legendary light skill in the novel.
But then he thought again, no, it's obviously a game in the wizarding world, how can he run out of a martial arts world. But then Fei Yun figured it out, and he thought that since there was a profession like a boxer in the game, why didn't there be a martial arts skill with oriental. And he also guessed that the other party's ability to run on the ears of wheat was not a light skill, but may have been blessed with some kind of spell skill.
But then Fei Yun didn't have time to guess again about the other party's ability to run on the ears of wheat, because the man in black had already jumped up from the ground like a big bird and pounced on them. While he was still in the air, dozens of sharp darts had already left his hand in an instant, beckoning towards Chen Kai and them.
Corian looked at the sluggish traveler below with a burst of joy in his heart, he adopted this way of fighting that did not suit the assassins in order to give Chen Kai and them an unforgettable blow. He wants to vent all the grievances and frustration of the past four days, and as for the other party who vents, it is naturally Chen Kai and them, who seem to him to be travelers who are like live fish on the chopping block.
It's just that Chen Kai and they are not as weak as Corian imagined, Chen Kai, who was sitting in the carriage at the moment when they were shrouded by the darts, had already taken out their shields to protect themselves safely under the shield, and at the same time, as the darts landed, the door of the carriage opened instantly. Several spellcasters threw long-prepared spells from the carriage in an instant, and Chen Kai and a few of them also jumped out of the carriage and rushed towards Corian in an instant. Of course, not all of them rushed out in an instant, and at least two of the Dusk Knights remained in the carriage, where the gods were babbling prayers.
Ragnarok, once a divine technique researched by the goddess of dusk before she was canonized, at the end of the last epoch, Celia, the lady of twilight, built her own temple and enrolled a large number of followers. It was at that time that the magic of the Temple of Dusk slowly became known, and at the end of the year, in the war of the gods, the knights of the Temple of Dusk relied on this magic to make the three lower gods fall. This also contributed to the prestige of the magic of Ragnarok, but unfortunately the complete version of this magic was lost after that era, and the goddess of dusk Celia herself no longer gave the complete magic spell.
But even so, once the Dusk Knight unleashed this magic technique, even the Saint Rank powerhouse would be so frightened that they would turn around and run, of course, the premise of this qiē was that the Twilight Knight in front of them was a complete knight order. This kind of magic technique that hurts people by 500 and self-damage by 1,000 is the only magic skill that players can master to fight beyond the N-level, as long as there is enough time and enough manpower, even lord players dare to flick their tails.
Of course, so far, no team of players has successfully unleashed this magic in front of high-level monsters or aborigines, and it should be said that no one who can gather an entire knight group has successfully released it in front of that kind of monster, after all, as soon as they see so many dusk knights standing in front of them, as long as the aborigines with a little experience will instantly turn around and flee. As for monsters that are more aware of danger, they will run faster.
But Corian didn't run away, or he didn't pay attention to Hulans and them hiding under the carriage, let alone the two Dusk Knights hiding under the carriage. The first thing Corian did when he fell from the sky was to roll up his cloak and use his cloak to fend off several spells that came at him. At this time, his eyes still did not leave Chen Kai's belt, and his purpose was still the emblem on the belt.
Therefore, the moment he landed, Corian rushed straight towards Chen Kai, and all the people and arrows around him who tried to attack him were dodged by him with a ghostly body. His hand stretched straight to Chen Kai's waist and stretched out towards the specially made emblem.
It was just as his hand was about to touch the emblem that two blood-red rays of light instantly rushed out from under the carriage, and along with these two blood-colored rays were the terrifying and huge sound of prayers. At that moment, Corian knew that it was not good, he forgot about the two dusk knights in Chen Kai's team, and the other party had been hiding under the carriage to release the magic spell.
"Damn" Corian knew that at that point he would no longer be able to touch the badge on Chen Kai's waist, at least the badge was no longer important compared to his own life. So he stepped back in an instant, his toes on the ground a little and then floated backwards like a dead leaf, two blood-red magic sticking to his body and following him even more. At the moment when he was about to die, Corian waved his cloak again, trying to reduce the power of the magic with the power of the fighting energy attached to his head.
It's just that many Ragnarok are rarely used in battle, after all, the current Dusk Knight is unlikely to use this incomplete magic technique in battle, which damages a hundred self but hurts less than fifty enemies. Only the player will use this total magic regardless of the loss, after all, for them, the health is just a number. Because of this, the aborigines no longer understand the power of this divine magic, and they only hear descriptions of this divine magic in legends.
Therefore, when Corian tried to resist the magic with his cloak, his eyes widened instantly, and the two blood-red light clusters actually passed through his cloak and directly sank into his body, and then a feeling of weakness came from his body. In Chen Kai's opinion, the man in black who was trying to resist the divine magic with his cloak actually fell to his knees in an instant, and then his blood trough appeared in front of Chen Kai's eyes, and nearly 2,000 points of health instantly evaporated inexplicably from his blood trough.
This is the power of the magic of Ragnarok, although it is an incomplete magic art, but it is also a ** that directly affects the life of the target and not harms the opponent. This is also the place where the aborigines of the non-dusk temple do not know about this magic now, and it is precisely because of this Corian that he is unlucky.
So-called taking advantage of his illness to kill him, the moment Corian weakened, all the rear attacks began to envelop him, and the attacks of everyone except the melee personnel hit him very accurately. A large number of scroll spells poured down on him as if they didn't want money, and although the damage they did was not much, almost negligible, but they made Corey unusually wolf.
"Damn the divine art, it's actually eroding my **, no, I have to find a place to clear those powers, otherwise I won't want to step into the holy realm in this life" Corian staggered to get up, but the power of the divine magic is not only destroying his life but also eroding his power, after all, Hu Lansi and the two of them almost used 90% of their lives in their bodies and 99% of their physical fighting energy and magic power in exchange for this attack, which was more powerful than the two of them imagined.
Corian gritted his teeth to prevent his weakness from being revealed, and then jumped and pounced towards Chen Kai again. His fist slammed into Chen Kai's chest, denting the sturdy breastplate, forming a fist-shaped dent, while his other hand directly grabbed Chen Kai's belt and pulled it hard. A gold-minted badge instantly fell into his hands, and after getting the badge, Corey was relieved and happy, and he was stunned again. Because he saw a large bundle of explosions appear in front of him, and before he could react, he felt a powerful impact coming.
"Boom" was accompanied by a loud bang, and a small mushroom cloud instantly rose into the air, and the huge impact knocked several spellcasters into the carriage. As for Corrian, he fled with a golden badge covered in blood.
"You remember to Lao Tzu, I won't let you go" With a hint of resentment and wolf bèi, Corian's bloody body disappeared from Chen Kai's field of vision, leaving behind a wolf bèi's battle scene.
