On the plane to the imperial capital.

Gu Cheng looked at the layers of clouds passing by outside the window, and remembered the trip to the imperial capital.

Two days ago, after clearly rejecting the little prince Zhu Cizi's request to buy the Demon Dog, the little prince took the opportunity to ask Gu Cheng for help.

In the super-large spatial crack that appeared near the center of the imperial capital, many strange things similar to the legendary ghosts appeared some time ago.

These numerous ghostly monsters have recently caused trouble in the imperial capital.

I don't know how many people wake up, and the first thing they see when they open their eyes is a terrifying ghost with a terrifying face.

In the face of these terrifying visitors who can visit anytime and anywhere, everyone is overwhelmed.

Thankfully, so far, these monsters have caused no casualties.

However, many people have become irritable and irritable in these strange muttering, and some have even developed mental illnesses in serious cases.

These intangible and qualitative, but able to penetrate the wall, made everyone scratch their scalps, but there was no way to do it.

If it weren't for the fact that these monsters were only operating in the area where the spatial rift was located, otherwise the entire imperial capital would inevitably fall into a certain amount of chaos.

Recently, however, those tasked with monitoring these motes have noticed that their area of activity is slowly getting larger......

In desperation, the little prince Zhu Cizi thought of Gu Cheng.

In addition, it was later learned that Gu Cheng had just used inexplicable magic in the underground cave to turn the spatial crack into a previously impassable appearance, so there was a scene where the little prince came to S City to trade with Gu Cheng with a pile of enshrinement items that he had recently collected.

After learning the general appearance of the monsters and some of their behaviors, Gu Chengcheng already knew that these so-called monsters were resentful spirits from the other world.

Spirits are ghosts left behind by people who have been killed in madness, and they hate all living beings.

In their madness, they are unable to inflict substantial damage to life, and the only means of harm is to slowly distort the minds of those they come into contact with through muttering curses.

Gu Cheng pondered the super-large spatial crack in the imperial capital, and vaguely remembered that the place where it led was a huge mass grave, so it was not uncommon for some resentful monsters from other worlds to appear.

Imperial capital, spatial rift.

Looking at the spatial crack in front of him, which had stabilized, Gu Cheng asked, "Are all those resentful souls back in the spatial crack right now?"

A young man next to him who was in charge of staring at the cracks in the space replied: "Yes, a total of fifteen came out last night, and fifteen went back in the morning, and it is clear to see." ”

"That's good," Gu Cheng said, and then said to Zhu Cizi, "Then I'll go inside first, and I'll temporarily disturb the spatial crack inside." ”

"Are you going inside, won't you come back?" asked Zhu Cizi.

"I'm going to take a look at the other side of the spatial rift and spend some time there. Gu Cheng said, "As for coming back, wait until the spatial rift stabilizes again." ”

"Besides, if you really want to come back, isn't this spatial crack just this one?" Gu Cheng said with a smile.

......

Otherworldly.

In this west, which is named the continent of Kaya.

In the middle of a vast desert, an emerald green pearl is embedded in it.

The small town of Tarla is the name of this pearl.

It's a small town, and it's populated by a wide variety of people, from the natives of the Desert Empire to freedmen who have fled from other places......

Unlike other towns in the desert, the town of Tarla has an underground water eye in the center.

An endless stream of clear water flows out of it, forming a small lake.

Water sources in the desert are as important as gold.

The small town of Tarla is also famous in the surrounding area because of this watery eye.

Of course, there are also fights caused by water from time to time.

At night, not far from the edge of the lake, a small two-story stone building is brightly lit.

The two-storey stone building has a rugged name, the Bearded Tavern.

It is a dwarven shop that doubles as a tavern and an inn.

In the tavern, many drinkers were laughing loudly.

"Bang", the open tavern door was blown by the wind and hit the wall.

The dust and sand brought up made a few of the drinkers sitting near the doorway disgraced.

A figure appears at the door of the tavern.

In the laughter of the drinkers next to him, the faces of several drinkers at the door were a little unbearable.

One of them slammed the table and said, "Stinky boy, don't you see if there's anyone at ......the door when you enter the door?"

Before the drinker could finish his words, his neck was pinched by an invisible force, and then the whole person was lifted up by the invisible force pinched on his neck.

With a terrible howl, the drinker was thrown out of the tavern door.

The tavern became silent.

"Another mystery!" muttered a drinker, cautiously.

The sound that usually sounds very small can be heard very clearly in the tavern where the pin drop can be heard at this time.

Mystic, this is the name given to the caster profession by the general public in the Otherworld.

Because of the lack of knowledge, the general public, who cannot accurately distinguish between the various caster professions, in order to prevent the misfortune caused by staggering the caster's profession, they uniformly call the caster profession "mysterious"!

The figure walked into the tavern, a pitch-black cloak covering the face of the man in the thick shadows, and a long staff in the palm of his slender hand.

Lifting the hat of the heavy cloak, under the short hair that had gradually grown, there was a young and handsome face, and it was Gu Cheng who came.

Since Gu Cheng came to the other world through the spatial crack in the imperial capital, after solving the many resentful spirits in the mass grave, and after disturbing the spatial crack again, Gu Cheng left there, preparing to go to the ruins of the mysterious stone ball obtained before rebirth.

It's just that the desert of the other world is not much bigger than that on the earth, and Gu Chengcheng, who does not have a detailed map, lost his way in a sandstorm.

"Can you come over for a moment?" the fluent lingua franca of the other world came out of Gu Cheng's mouth.

Stretching out his hand and pointing at the drinker who had just spoken, Gu Cheng continued: "I have something I want to ask you. ”

Seeing the drinker come over with a sad face, Gu Cheng stretched out his hand and laid out a small stack of golden coins of an inch size on the table in front of him.

"As long as the answer is satisfactory to me, then I will give him a gold coin for a question!"

In the era when two coppers could buy enough food for a family of three to eat for a day, two silver coins could make a family of three live a good life for a month, and such a gold coin equivalent to 10 silver coins and 1,000 copper coins was enough for a family of three to live a year in peace.

"Goodong", many drinkers next to him swallowed hard.

A few bold drinkers had already come over, "My lord, we also know some things, and we can ...... too."

"No problem," Gu Cheng said with a smile, "As long as the answer satisfies me, I can receive a gold coin from me for every question." ”
