Chapter 585: The Chaser
Hart, the capital of yellow sands, as the only oasis within a radius of thousands of miles, it is the only way to cross the desert trade routes, it is a veritable golden route, if only tariffs are collected, it is not known how much to collect every year.
In previous years, the owners of the Yellow Sand City did the same, but after the wealthy man Ron took over the city, he reduced the tax to zero, and at the same time the tariff revenue was greatly reduced, but it ushered in more than ten times the caravans, and soon, this "stupid" policy was seen as the cause of the revival of the Yellow Sand Capital.
Some people may say that this is just a simple strategy, but many times good policies end up doing bad things, and it is not the creativity that fails, but the execution.
In order for the benefits of this policy to be realized, it is necessary to clear the other factors that hinder the caravan from coming, and it is not easy to eliminate bandits, fight competitors, regularly clean up monsters, and open and maintain rest points in the desert, and along the way, I have heard Kassandra boast about her father's great achievements.
But the city doesn't seem to be as friendly as she says it is.
Walking in the yellow sand capital, the eyes around me were very dazzling, and even the guards with black batons stared at me with unkind eyes.
"I didn't do anything, did I?"
And watching the pedestrians on the road look at me with wary eyes, I finally knew what was wrong.
"This city is too xenophobic."
"It's not really, it's just that the previous two times Hart was almost captured, it was all information provided by foreign spies. Now a strange foreigner appeared on the street, apparently a warrior. ”
Even after entering her own city, Kassandra. Caroline still wrapped herself in a thick cloak. As if hiding from something.
"Then why wasn't I questioned when I came in?"
"That's because of the other times when Hart was attacked by the inside and outside. The spies are all locals. The guys finally realized that as long as they were given a good price, Tieflin didn't have much loyalty to speak of, and it was much cheaper than the foreign spies. ”
Well, I've almost guessed why Miss Carolyn is still hiding her head and tail even when she walks into her own city.
Is she worried that the person who is eyeing her is not dead yet? Or rather, she didn't believe that ordinary City Watch guards would be able to protect her.
But being stared at like this is not a thing, walking around a corner. There were two more dragon horns on my head, and there were more dragon wings on my back, and I was releasing a little abyssal aura, and all of a sudden, that defensive gaze was gone.
However, this pair of eyes is covered with strips of cloth, wings on the back, and two more horns on the head, how is it so familiar, I kind of want to pose "you are killing yourself" old stalk, but I feel a little tired of playing. Besides, it seems that no one here can understand it.
"That. Adventurer, can you send me home? My family should be looking for me, and there will be a lot of thanks. ”
Kassandra blinked, trying to recall the etiquette teacher's diplomatic lessons, and invited the "blind ogre" in front of her to her home with her most sincere words, but in fact she was scolding her mother in her heart.
"Actually scared me to pee, how dare you scare a lady, see how my father cleans you up!"
It is not enough to repay virtue with resentment, but if she doesn't find some opportunity to retaliate back, Caroline, who has been going well, feels aggrieved by herself.
"No, it's too troublesome, which is the most famous pub, bar, and restaurant here."
Even if I didn't look at the flickering eyes of the red-haired girl, I knew what tricks she was going to play, and according to her heart, it could range from harmless but disgusting bear child pranks to murderous and murderous ones.
I refused, not because I was afraid of this girl, but because more was better than less, well, it was definitely not that I didn't want to move when I was hungry.
"How can this folk restaurant compare to my family, my chef is a super chef invited from the most famous hotel in Saro Yudu, all the ingredients. It's all acquired from thousands of miles away."
"Well, I'll go."
In front of the stomach, face or something, let it go with the wind.
And suddenly, a vicious wind hit, and I couldn't help but shiver, as if I was being targeted by some evil beast.
I jerked my head up, and above the sky, there was a figure I had only met two days ago.
"Rasnina?!"
Compared with a week ago, her appearance is a little embarrassed, the thick black bags under her eyes show the fact that she has been suffering from insomnia for a long time, her long hair is messed up, and her original gorgeous appearance is discounted again.
The bandages and blood stains on her body showed that she could not escape the influence of the "gaze of the god of the underworld", and I am afraid that this was the reason why she could not sleep at all.
"Damn, wasting too much time in the desert?
I don't think I can be followed, no matter how mysterious the prophecy spell is, it is impossible to find my traces in the long river of fate, and it is a joke to trace the footprints in the desert, so it is that after staying in this layer for too long, she will not give up after following her, and she will look for it one by one city-states.
Floating on the oasis with such a big grin naturally attracted the attention of the others, and the Sky Knight and the mage riding a huge bat had already come up to it, and had not yet touched Rasnina above the clouds.
With a casual move, a chain of lightning slashed down, and all the empty knights were ignited, and even the black-robed mage wearing a spell shield had no power to resist and turned directly into ashes.
Full of malicious intruders, they showed their undisguised malice with clear attacks, and the alarm bell of the city rang all at once, and the whole city entered a state of war.
More powerful mages and city guards have stepped out of their fortresses and mage towers, and one by one attack magic has taken shape on the top of the mage towers, as the most important commercial city in the nearby area, how could Hart not be heavily guarded.
In the face of the threat in front of her, Rasina seemed to turn a blind eye, she just silently recited her incantation.
The black magic spread, and the clouds in the sky were actually dyed black clouds, and then, the transition to dark green clouds was realized, and judging from the gathered magic, it would soon exceed the world's definition of forbidden spells.
"Don't let her unleash that magic!"
It's not a spellcaster who doesn't know the goods. This dark green curse magic fell. I'm afraid of Hart, the capital of yellow sand. There really is only yellow sand in the future.
"That's how she chased and killed all the way? How many towns did she destroy along the way? ”
I don't think she knows that I'm in this city, otherwise it would obviously be stupid to throw a big spell when I come up, this kind of quasi-forbidden spell with a strong attack and a huge range is not as threatening as a single magic of a powerful individual, so she just wants to destroy the city.
"I don't know you're there, but as long as I destroy one town after another, you'll appear in front of me sooner or later."
Maybe it's to vent your anger. Maybe it's to cut off the absolute hand, or maybe it's considering the innocence of the other party's paladin identity, this week, when Roland was in a daze, the "crazy devil king" has become the most terrifying natural disaster in the surrounding plane!
Previously, due to the existence of the snake god, there was still a vague order in the kingdom of that layer, and that situation blurred the true appearance of the abyss.
In a sense, everything that happens in this ownerless abyss is the real abyss, the jungle paradise of the jungle.
On the myriad levels of the abyss. Every moment, people and towns are destroyed for various reasons. Many times, the life and death of the weak is just a kind of entertainment to pass the time for the strong.
Curse her! ”
"My lord, please show mercy and spare us."
"Why? Why is that? Why attack us? ”
The wails and roars of the ants below were in her ears, but Rassina smiled happily, if she hadn't been in a hurry to find the guy, she would have wanted to let the curse go on and prolong the ant's death cycle as usual.
Perhaps, listening to their howls and curses for a whole year would be a good idea for a vacation.
Reason? Do you need a reason to trample a swarm of ants to death? Do you remember how many mosquitoes and flies you swatted to death?
Perhaps some people will despise the existence of order, when the most basic order is gone, when those who possess force have no restraint, when the strong do not think that the weak are the same kind of existence, naturally anything can happen.
Mass murder? Nothing, can you get a witness? People are dead? Is that death without proof?
Blowing up peaceful and neutral medical institutions and diplomatic embassies? I accidentally used the map / wrong information from ten years ago, so I'll express my regret verbally.
Creating famines and refugees? Oh, that's an unfortunate accident, but who told them to have an evil master!
Apologies and reparations? How is it possible, it was said that it was an unfortunate accident, since it was an accident, don't think too much, well, let me express my regret verbally.
War crime? Oh, young man, no matter what world it is, wars are always happening, but you don't necessarily know it.
When the power of the powerful is out of check, when the simple exercise of force can achieve huge benefits, even the most terrible evil deeds can be turned into daily life.
And furthermore, when evil deeds become a habitual routine, killing and destruction can no longer carry the banner of profit and the country, but simply entertainment.
The war machine that has been determined to indulge in killing and destruction may not only end up destroying himself.
This is already the thirty-seventh city-state that Rasnina intends to destroy in five days, and from the bottom of her heart, she has given up her plan to find Roland like a needle in a haystack, and it is very likely that Roland should have left this plane.
It was just that the endless destruction and wailing made her feel like a poisoned pleasure, and watching these ants being trampled to death after begging for mercy in pain made her feel comfortable, as if the scars on her body were also much more comfortable.
For Rasnina, who had fallen into the shadows for countless years, the judgment from the soul not only did not awaken her conscience, which she had already abandoned, but made her anxious to pass on the pain she had suffered to more weak.
'Ha, cry, scream, and then give me death!' ”
Hysterical laughter echoed in the sky above the city, and in the next moment, a transparent ice sword suddenly pierced out of the heart.
When Rasnina looked back in disbelief, the ice blade sticking out of her heart was burning violently.
The Assassin who suddenly emerged from the clouds had gorgeous wings, and the flaming wings of the Angel of War were radiating an astonishing heat and light.
The sword-wielder's furious roar directly shook away the dark green cursed cloud, and the killing intent in it was like a catastrophe that destroyed the world.
"Rasnina! Meet your judgment! (To be continued......)
