Chapter 55: Rock City
After a sandstorm.
The night sky over the desert shimmered with an orange glow like the setting sun.
Warm tones sharpen the gloom of this desolate land and coat it with a dreamlike sugar coating.
The wind was still blowing, and in the direction it was longing, it rolled up the sand on the ground and eloped together, sweeping through the unknown territory they had never reached.
Far from the oasis, this land has its own magical charm.
In the soft light, the small post house stood in an open field, waiting for the dawn to come with this special night.
In one of several rooms, a young girl with a heart was leaning against the window, looking out at the rare beauty outside the window.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
A soft knock at the door reached her ears with delicate care.
Han Qingluo turned his head and stared at the door for a long time, then finally got up from his chair and walked to the door.
As soon as she opened the door, Jue's apologetic face broke into her sight.
He said, "I know you haven't slept yet, so-"
"It's okay."
Han Qingluo smiled slightly, moved his body to the side a little, and motioned for him outside the door to come in.
Looking at her back as she walked back to the window, Jue gently closed the door and slowly leaned towards her, trying to use the most comfortable rhythm to make her not feel oppressed.
The two by the window stood side by side, silent, silently accompanying each other.
It wasn't until the boredom in the heart was slowly dissolved by the passing time that the soul that had been self-contained for a long time took the initiative to open the knot in the heart and find the comfort of the other half.
Feeling the dependence on her shoulder, Jue got her lover's permission, and the hand at her side moved behind her with confidence, holding the small body that needed to be protected.
The silent stalemate was broken, and Jue decided to take the initiative to explain: "Me and her-"
"I know!" Leaning on his shoulder, Han Qingluo interrupted Jue's explanation with a loud voice.
After a pause for a few seconds, the corners of her lips hooked, and she looked up at Jue: "I believe in you." โ
Looking at her smiling face, Jue hooked the corners of her lips with relief, raised her hand to lift her chin, slowly leaned down, and landed a loving kiss on the warm lip flap.
This kiss completely opened Han Qingluo's heart knot, she lowered her head in shame, reached out to hold the hand he still held on her chin, and pillowed it on her lap to play with it.
His hands were cold, as smooth as jade, and his slender fingers with distinct joints made Han Qingluo sigh to himself.
Suddenly, an idea emerged in her envy: Can such a perfect physical state be possessed after becoming a blood clan?
In the past, when I heard the legend of vampires, there were many stories about ugly people who became blood clans and changed their appearance and became more delicate and beautiful than before humans.
Although she is not ugly now, compared to most of the blood clans with white skin and beautiful appearance, she should be the most inconspicuous ugly duckling in a group of blood clans.
Especially after meeting Nan Li'er, Han Qingluo yearns for the world of the blood clan even more, although she has been mixed in the blood clan society for so many years, she has never really understood them.
They are only known to be bloodthirsty, powerful, often move at night, and are mostly afraid of the sun.
The seed of desire hidden in her heart began to emerge again, making Han Qingluo's desire to experience the life of the blood clan emerge again.
Seeing her holding her hand in a daze for a long time, Jue moved her fingers, trying to pull back her thoughts that she didn't know where to go.
Sensing the abnormal movement in his hand, Han Qingluo immediately regained consciousness and raised his eyes to look at Jue: "What's wrong?" โ
Jue's pursed lips opened, and finally grinned the corners of her mouth, turning into a bright smile, he should have asked her what was wrong, looking at her distracted state, obviously she had something on her mind again, Jue's heart couldn't help but add a little worry.
After being withdrawn from her distraction, Han Qingluo temporarily hid her careful thoughts in her heart, after all, she still clearly remembered that Jue was very opposed to her becoming a blood clan.
At this time, the relationship was finally in place, and she didn't want to sweep away this short-term good interest and shift her attention to other places.
Suddenly, she took out a square scarf from her arms and handed it to Jue's eyes.
Jue recognized at a glance the belonging of the square scarf, which he took to Han Qingluo not long ago to wipe his nosebleed.
He bent his eyebrows, chuckled and took back the square scarf, the square scarf had been cleaned by her at this time, and he could vaguely smell the residual aromatic blood on it under his sensitive sense of smell.
"Thank you Mr. Kind for the scarf, I am very comfortable to use!"
Han Qingluo cupped his cheeks and stared at Jue with a playful gaze.
Jue raised her hand and patted her little brain, the idea of teasing flashed in her mind, and she said: "It's comfortable, the next time you see a beauty with a nosebleed, you can still find me, my scarf will always be kept!" โ
Han Qingluo pretended to squint angrily, and crossed his arms in front of his chest: "I haven't asked you yet, what's the matter with the beauty, you dare to make fun of me!" โ
"You know!"
Jue winked at her, showing a rare expression.
"Humph!" Han Qingluo pouted, his mouth was furious, and he simply played a trick, "I don't know!" โ
"You know."
"I don't know!"
"You're bullying me!"
โโฆโฆโ
โโ
The scorching sun scorched the red gravel dust.
Between the dry surface, waves of heat poured out one after another, fluctuating as if distorting space.
Lifting the cloth towel that covered her vision, Nan Li'er raised her eyes and looked into the distance.
I saw a large-scale city tower, standing in the center of the avenue extending in all directions, which was the Rock City in the mouth of Nan Lier.
It is a small town on the border, small in size, but it is an important hub for trade between different regions.
A lot of black transactions are often carried out here, and the most confidential information can be obtained here.
As a killer organization in the blood clan, Asama naturally has its own intelligence system, and Rock City has their most powerful underground force.
If you want to find out more hidden news, coming to Rock City is the best choice.
It was noon when the sun was at its strongest.
The streets are bustling with people, hawkers, merchants, travelers, and wanderers of all nationalities, all of whom are the main source of the city's vitality.
Deftly traversing the streets, Nan Quercus came to the very center of the city, where the entrance to an underground trading market was hidden in an alley.
With the guard who released the wind, the code was right, and Nan Lier successfully entered the underground market.
Slowly stepping down the stairs, after a few blinding curves, she successfully arrived at the largest underground black market in Rock City.
There are many strange items traded here, rich people with special hobbies will let their men come to this place in search of rare things, and many thieves have stolen treasures that cannot be taken off, and this place has also become a paradise for them to sell their stolen goods.
In addition to dealing in goods, there are other organizations in the black market that accept assassination missions like Assamee, as well as organizations that accept protection targets.
Therefore, when the adversary hires two different forces to fight against each other, it is inevitable that there will be conflicts, but there is a rule in this market, the task is the task, and the private relationship is the private relationship.
If an accident occurs during a mission, after the mission is over, neither party will bring any personal feelings to seek revenge.
Therefore, in this black market, all forces live in peace, earn their own interests, and the well water does not interfere with the river water.
Inside the dimly lit trading floor.
Since the appearance of the southern oak, the whole thing has become lively.
Countless pairs of eyes with bad intentions fell on her one after another, but none of them dared to come forward to talk, because they understood that the women who could appear here must not be good and unprovoked.
Glancing at the coveted gazes around her, Nan Li'er snorted in disgust, quickened her pace, and after passing through a narrow passage, she came to the territory of their Asamai connectors.
"Patriarch!"
The connector who recognized her and shouted in a respectful whisper.
Nan Li'er glanced at him and waved her hand: "It's all said, don't call me the patriarch outside, call me Li'er!" โ
"This ......"
Although he was familiar with the patriarch's character, after a long time, when he encountered her teasing again, the connector still hung his head in embarrassment, stood up, and the evil aura on his body suddenly disappeared by half, completely losing the majesty of a killer.
Looking at his frightened appearance, Nan Li'er was so happy that she covered her mouth and chuckled: "That's it, I won't tease you, come with me, I need your help!" โ
After listening to Nan Li'er's words, the connector breathed a sigh of relief and followed the patriarch into the room.
โฆโฆ
Leaning back on the bench, Nan Quercher enjoyed sipping the blood food offered by his men.
"Patriarch, did you take a big order?"
Looking at Nan Li'er's good face, the connector dared to ask.
Nan Li'er shook the bright red in the cup, nodded, and couldn't hide the joy on her face, and said: "Yes, big order, very big, a big order that is rare in a hundred years!" โ
Seeing the envious and greedy eyes of his subordinates, Nan Li'er straightened his eyes and warned: "You don't have a chance, don't think about it!" โ
After that, as if reminiscing about the fragrance that was still left between his lips and teeth, he looked at the front for a long time and licked his lips unsatisfied.
"Is there any news of Giovanni lately?"
After drinking a cup of blood food, Nan Li'er took the purpose of this trip seriously.
The connector lowered his eyes and thought for a moment: "It seems that a few days ago, I heard news from him, saying that he was coming to Rock City to do a trade. โ
When Nan Li'er heard this, her eyes couldn't help but tremble slightly with excitement, this is really great news, since the target is going to come to Rock City, then she can avoid the trouble of traveling long distances to track down, just sit back and wait for the prey to come to the door.
"What exactly is the transaction? When and where? Tell me all about it. โ
Nan Li'er stared at the connector and asked in a deep voice.
The connector nodded, leaned into her ear, and revealed all the information he knew to the patriarch.
After listening to the information, Nan Li'er smiled, thinking that this guy has a wide range of activities, and he has done everything in business.
It's a pity that he met her, a killer who only recognizes blood and doesn't recognize gold, so he's waiting to disappear from this world!
