Chapter 431 is coming
Seven days later, the fifteenth Grade C beam.
The staff in charge of trading liquor with Osel was dozing off in his chair idlely, and the next second the sound of hard-soled iron boots belonging to the Silver Knights sounded on the ground, and several traders woke up, only to find that there were several figures standing outside the beam in front of them.
The group looked a little embarrassed, as if they had gone through countless bad encounters. But this is also what they are used to, after all, everyone who comes from Osser's kind is yellow-skinned and unkempt.
The staff watched as the group approached the position of the beam arch, but they did not stand up immediately, because they were also used to seeing this kind of scene. I know that at this moment, on the edge of the seemingly calm beams, I don't know how many hungry people are lying in ambush in the corners where the sun can't find them, just waiting for "fat sheep" like this group who have finally come here.
This is the last step that everyone who tries to escape from Oser will go through, and I don't know how many people have gone through all kinds of hardships and died precisely in this last step.
The staff of the beam will not deliberately prevent such a thing, or it can be said that this kind of atmosphere is officially acquiesced. So none of the several people who were sitting on the back of the chair stood up for the first time, but continued to relax their bodies lazily, squinting their eyes and looking at it as if they were watching a good show.
However, they watched as the group approached the field of vision as if nothing had happened, and watched as one of the men stepped forward and made a gesture of striking the air as if he were knocking, until they stepped into the archway, and there was not a hint of a stir.
Several staff members stared at the group in disbelief, and among those present, only the knights in charge of the border patrol knew what was going on. But they are well-trained, and it is even more unlikely that they will put down their work at this moment to take the initiative to talk about it.
One of the staff members reacted and stood in front of the group, still skeptically scanning the land within their border with Othello for a few times, and when he saw that there was indeed no movement, he turned his head to look at the crowd.
"Which of you wants to go to Drow?"
The man standing in the front row of the group looked at him with a smile and said, "All." ”
Instantly, a group of staff members stared at each other again.
"All?" The person in charge repeated it in a strange tone, and then his eyes turned around the crowd behind him: "One, two, three...... There are 10 of you! You said that you were going to Drow City, did you not know the rules or did you just come to find trouble?! ”
"Brother, don't get excited." The man comforted the person in charge, "There are five of us, and the last five are not considered people...... Oh yes, you can provide some cups, twenty cups of blood for five people each, a total of 100 cups, we can put them on the spot. ”
The person in charge looked at the man like a ghost, and so far he had figured out how the group was going to choose to enter Drow City. It's nothing more than killing people and bloodletting on the spot, in fact, this practice is understandable, they should be surprised, the only strange point is how can they let the next five people obediently bloodletting?
Ever since the group walked in, they had been able to see clearly that the five people in the back were able to walk and move, and they looked like normal living people except for their stiff expressions.
The man at the head didn't say anything, just looked at him and smiled.
The person in charge was so laughed by him that his scalp was numb for a while, and immediately held a kind of "I'll see what you should do next" mentality, and first asked people to bring a large kiln pot.
"Fill this jar with exactly twenty cups of blood, you fill this jar first."
There was no trace of embarrassment on the man's face, he looked relaxed and beckoned to the position behind him, and then, a "person" behind the team walked up with a really stiff look, took the dagger and cut the artery and began to bleed into the jar.
The staff present all stared wide-eyed, and secretly wondered what kind of stimulation this person had to make up his mind to do this. People's attention was on the strange scene in front of them and the man in charge, and naturally no one noticed that standing behind the crowd, Qiu Xuan's hanging fingertips moved slightly, as if he was invisibly manipulating something.
Seven days ago, they managed to escape from the Abyss with their allies they had encountered at the bottom of the Abyss through the Eye of the Storm.
The place where they came out and teleported to was an inaccessible official road in the back direction, and they didn't dare to step on some strange cracks, so they walked all the way to the nearest beam from the official road.
After going through a series of imaginable troubles such as stepping on the empty rift and being sent away and crawling back with difficulty, encountering a sneak attack by a failed black-robed killer at night, and being robbed of food by hungry people, they finally saw the shadow of the nearest No. 15 beam on the seventh day.
At this moment, the food and wine carried by the men and women were almost finished. After all, there are two more in the team, oh, plus the little girl who has come to his senses is a total of three mouths, earlier the man had asked Qiu Xuan what to do if they went to the beam and had no wine, when Qiu Xuan glanced at him, picked a hungry corpse and made him stand up and danced for the two.
Cold-faced woman: "......"
The two of them seemed to know a little bit about why Yu Tang dared to hand over his main weapon to a strange companion like this, and they knew that there was no reason why the executioner liked his ability to be investigated, so he immediately didn't ask much with a smile, but let go of it in his heart.
"It's a bit early to take these bodies with us, and by the time we get to the beam, the blood will almost clot, and we can get to the edge of the beam and do it again." Here's what the man said to Qiu Xuan at the time, "It is well known that if you want to find the largest number of hungry people, you should go to the border between the official road and the beam of Osser. ”
It seems that the 15th Grade C beam near them is only a small and unknown beam, and usually no one will come here, so there are not many hungry people in ambush around.
This level of sneak attack could be easily solved by any one of the people in the group, so they didn't even alarm the dozing people in charge of the beams after they dealt with the attack on the hungry people and the transformation of the virus planted by Qiu Xuan. By the time the group stepped into the beam with a few corpses, it was all over.
The staff of the beam watched in amazement as the five "people" squeezed out all the blood in their bodies with expressionless faces, and then fell back one by one - in fact, even if they were drained of blood, they would not fall to the ground, after all, they were already corpses, but Qiu Xuan did it to hide people's eyes and ears - the five full kiln pots exuded a pungent fishy smell, which once again shocked people's vision.
There is no need for anyone to come and test whether the blood is mixed with water, this absurd scene happened in front of everyone's eyes, and because of this, it is even more incredible.
It took a long time for the staff to find their voices, and they gave each of them a badge dryly, and opened the arch on the other side to let the five people pass.
"I feel like I've never had an easy experience of returning from Osser except for the one time I fell into the void."
The man's footsteps stepped on the stone face of the long-lost Drow City, and he took a deep breath of the air with a little bit of the last cold of late winter, and sighed with emotion.
Qiu Xuan ignored him, roughly calculated the time, and thought that he would hurry up and go to Alecshan's house to solve the matter of listening to God.
With only a few days left until the winter solstice, it is up to you to make or break it.
Suddenly, there was a faint force at hand, and the movement seemed to be unrestrictive, and she could only rely on such a trivial reminder to attract her attention.
Qiu Xuan lowered her head, and sure enough, she was facing the little girl's eyes that seemed a little timid.
"Sister......" she shouted quietly, if it weren't for the fact that her senses were much sharper now, Qiu Xuan might not be able to hear what she was saying.
"I just need to eat a little bit a day." The little girl said with obvious trepidation on her dirty face. "Can you please not leave me? I can do anything, I'll try to ......"
Qiu Xuan looked up at a circle of people with different expressions.
The woman still kept a cold face and didn't speak, and the man paused and said, "...... We're not good at raising children. Besides, who is a serious black businessman in the black market still has a child when he comes out of the stall. ”
"I have to go to Alex's house, she'll be in danger with her." Qiu Xuan roughly explained, not for a few adults present, but for the little girl named Nuo Nuo.
"Please take the child, and if you can, give her to Tom, who is just short of a subordinate to do things."
Before Qin Jiuyuan could respond, the man took the lead in speaking: "People are just children, it's not good to let her touch these black market things now, it feels ......"
"Otherwise, she won't survive." Qiu Xuan raised her eyes and glanced at the man lightly, "We always have to leave, and when we are all gone, she can't do anything alone and live in Zhuoer City, what is the difference between that and dying under the abyss?" ”
The man stopped talking, and the woman, who had been silent at the moment, glanced at this side, and suddenly said: "I have prepared the things that Yu Tang explained, and when you see her again after you hand over this time, tell her directly, we can do it at any time." ”
"Okay, I got it."
Seeing this, the woman turned around and disappeared into the bazaar without hesitation, and the man scratched his head, and there were dozens of heavy silver coins in his pocket, which were equivalent to the money he had paid for their food.
"Okay, then I'll go too...... We'll see you again soon. He looked up in this direction, his tone more serious than ever, "I hope the next time we meet, it's time to leave here completely." ”
Qiu Xuan: "I hope so." ”
Seeing the two of them disappear from view one after the other, she relieved herself and looked back at the black businessman who had been following her.
Qin Jiuyuan seemed to have guessed what to say before she could speak, and took the lead in saying, "Do you want me to accompany you?" ”
Qiu Xuan: "No. ”
"Okay." The black merchant didn't dwell too much on this issue, and glanced at the sky slightly, and his tone seemed to be a little emotional. "I don't know how stupid Tom is...... Did the melon stir up the country that Lao Tzu had beaten during this time? ”
"I don't know if he messed up, but he did have a baby." Qiu Xuan chuckled lightly, "You go back, when I come back from Alecshan's house, the world will really be different." When that time comes, I'll come to you. ”
So the black merchant laughed too. After laughing for a while, I noticed that I was like a child who was going to cry or not at my feet, and beckoned her to "follow".
Nuo Nuo was looking at Qiu Xuan with tears in his eyes, the latter thought about it, or squatted down to look at her level and said something, and then unexpectedly looked at the child with wide eyes.
In fact, her original intention was not glorious, which Qiu Xuan admitted.
At first, she thought she didn't have the strength to leave the Abyss with another child, even if it was because a crystal stone had agreed to the young man's request, she was not sure about it.
The only thing Qiu Xuan can guarantee is "will do her best", that is, within the scope of what she can do, she will ensure the safety of this child, because this is what the young man exchanged for special ores with her, and it doesn't have much to do with the child itself.
So she thought that she couldn't bear the trust and dependence that this child was full of at the moment, and it was impossible to completely regard herself as the child's savior, so she told the child all the reasons and let her make her own choice.
"I don't have anything to teach you." Qiu Xuan sighed softly, "But if it's what your brother expects, he probably wants you to live well." ”
She reached out and touched the child's dirty face, "Go ahead, you'll have a 'new world' too, I promise." ”
As she spoke, she stood up, and without looking back at the child who had been left behind, she walked down the path deep in the drow to meet the setting sunset.
The child stood in place and rubbed her eyes, and after a while, she held back a cry in her throat, but she suppressed it herself, and turned around and chased after the figure of the black merchant.
"Uncle......" She was still a little afraid that she would look fierce, and she didn't look like a good man at first glance, so she fell far behind her and shouted, so she didn't dare to speak.
The black merchant turned his head and roared in a fierce low voice: "Why is Lao Tzu 'uncle'?" ”
Nuno was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and trotted after him.
