Chapter 45 Employment and Remuneration
The moonlight of the past struggled to pierce the misty ruins, barely scratching a vague shadow in the deep darkness.
The dull beating of sticks was clear in the silence.
Looking at the demon who had no backhand power under Zhou Duan's blow, Siya couldn't turn around, and the other party's ...... It's a demon, can you still be loyal in the demon realm?
Duo An, who was behind, walked over slowly to protect Siya: "Princess, maybe we can ask this ......"
Siya looked at Zhou Duan, the clothing can only be called decent in the world of the lower people, but the strength is not weak, at least the physique of the imperial guard.
Thinking of this, Siya looked at Duo'an, if he hadn't been injured before, Duo'an would also be a knight of this level.
The demon's body was unexpectedly tough, and Zhou Duan didn't dare to directly fight it physically.
"Lava Claw!" Smashing the demon again, Zhou Duan asked Duoduo to manipulate the smoke to attack the other party.
The demon was caught very simply, and the huge heat poured into his body, making him a little hideous, he could fight with Zhou Duan in an injured state, that is, Zhou Duan's attack was still too weak, Duoduo was different, crushed in all aspects, and directly pinched this demon to death.
Seeing the complete death of the demon, Siya and Duo'an's hearts were also relaxed, but for Zhou Duan, the two were still vigilant.
Zhou Duan on the side looked at the location where the demon turned into ashes, and a strange stone fell, although he didn't know what it was, but he didn't delay Zhou Duan to pick it up.
"Demon Core!" Siya exclaimed quietly.
Duo An watched motionlessly as Zhou Duan put the demon core into his bag.
Zhou Duanyuan, who saw some clues, nodded at the two of them, said hello, and prepared to continue on his way, to be honest, it was also a good time for these two people, if it wasn't for the demon chasing him like crazy, he might not really be able to save people.
"Please stay." Siya looked at the other party and wanted to leave, but after thinking twice, she spoke.
Zhou Duan's footsteps did not stop.
"We can hire you." Siya hurriedly continued to speak.
Zhou Duan became interested, stopped and looked at the two of them, one was wearing a helmet and couldn't see it really, but the other looked very marked.
"...... you?" Cang Tian testified that Zhou Duan did not mean to look down on the other party, but simply forgot what to say - what to hire with him.
Duo'an and the others obviously misjudged Zhou Duan's information from their tone, although they were puzzled by Zhou Duan's accent, but the important thing at the moment was this layer of protection, after all, it was a terrible thing for two women to basically lose their mobility at night.
"We can hire you with a message." Siya said calmly.
"Message?" Zhou Duan looked at this woman who was not dressed ordinarily.
Siya didn't get angry because of his scrutiny, but Duo'an's hand had already clenched the hilt of the sword, in her eyes, Zhou Duan was just an inferior citizen, although he had a certain amount of strength, but it was still too presumptuous to look at a princess like this.
"Beyond a demonic realm, the coordinates of the city of hope established by mankind."
"City of Hope?" Zhou Duan was puzzled, but at this time, it was better not to ask, and nodded on the surface, "Then what do you want to hire me for?" If you want to kill yourself, I can help the young lady take off her helmet. ”
Zhou Duan felt that the person dressed as a knight on the side was staring at him very uncomfortable, and stabbed coldly.
Duo An forcibly suppressed his anger and looked away: "We want to ask you to escort us to the palace. ”
In his heart, he planned to use the recovery medicine in the palace to teach this kid a lesson after recovery.
Zhou Duan was stunned for a moment, turned out to be on the way, and nodded: "Okay, but you have to tell me which city of hope it is first." ”
This question is actually a bit winding, if this city is called the City of Hope in the other party's heart, then she will answer a common-sense question, and at the same time think that she is in a relatively low status, if there are really many cities of hope, then for Zhou Duan, this world is very interesting.
The three of them did not stay where they were, and the two women regained some strength and set off immediately.
From their mouths, Zhou Duan knew that the Kingdom of Condessay, where he was now, was located at the northern end of the Seven Great Places of Life of the Human Race, and was led by Beihai City, one of the seven cities of hope.
But it seems that they don't know the specifics, anyway, now that Condessay is ruined, and the support of Beihai City has not come, except for some people in the city who escaped in advance, the rest are estimated to have been transformed into demons.
Speaking of which, the two also glanced at Zhou Duan.
Zhou Duan couldn't explain, so he could only be silent.
The teleportation array in the city was destroyed, so if you want Beihai City, you can only take the Fear Corridor.
But the Corridor of Dread is no less dangerous than the Demon Domain, only less of the risk of being transformed into a Demon Man, it was previously guarded by the top spirit masters of the kingdom, the Corridor of Dread was a natural barrier for Condessay, and now, it is a barrier for all those who have been outcast.
Zhou Duan looked at the two of them, how could this not look like they could walk through the corridor of fear, and the other party's target was also Wang Ting, could there be any secret there?
The three of them with their own thoughts went on the road together, and Zhou Duan fulfilled the content of the hire well, and some of the demons and demons encountered on the way were cleaned up by him and Duoduo.
It's just that the three of them just walked out of the path, and when they saw the palace, Zhou Duan's face suddenly became a little delicate.
The red alert sounded again.
"What's wrong, why don't you go?" Siya looked at Zhou Duan and asked a little puzzled.
"When was the last time you were here?" Zhou Duan looked at them.
"What do you mean?" Duo An has changed his opinion of Zhou Duan a little along the way.
"There's something in there that I can't deal with, and if you have to get in, we'll probably have to separate, by the way, I've already sent you, and you've settled the final account." In order to communicate proficiently, Zhou Duan still spent money to open the "translation" function of the local tune.
Hearing Zhou Duan's words, Siya and Duo An seemed to remember something, and their faces became a little pale.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Duan couldn't help urging: "Then you ......"
Of course, Siya has no plans to turn her face with Zhou Duan, if Zhou Duan has bad intentions in their current state, they can't resist it at all, but what if Zhou Duan gets paid, what if it is not good for herself?
Doan also sensed Siya's uneasiness, which was also something she was worried about.
"Xu Mu," Duo An said to Zhou Duan, "Strictly speaking, you have not completed our commission. ”
"So?"
"In a dark room of the royal family, there is a cultivation manual left by the original Sage of Condessay, if you can ......"
"Stop." Zhou Duan interrupted Siya's words that she had finally mustered up her courage, "I'm not interested in the cultivation manual or anything, the royal family hasn't seen a few masters who have reached the commander level for so many years, this already explains the problem, you should have a reason why you can't enter, but this has nothing to do with me." ”
Zhou Duan really didn't plan to wade into troubled waters, and this kind of system cultivation didn't help him in any way now.
Siya looked at Zhou Duan with some surprise, she didn't understand, this is the biggest treasure of the royal family, no material wealth can be compared, for this cultivation manual, how many people have passed through the corridor of fear to come here.
And Zhou Duan is actually disgusted? Siya is sure, although it is not disgust, but it is also not like and excited.
Who is this?
Zhou Duan felt like he was wasting time and took a step forward.
Siya hurriedly stepped back and looked at Zhou Duan in horror: "What do you want to do?" ”
Zhou Duan spoke in a gloomy tone: "Tell me the coordinates of the City of Hope, or I'll turn my face and let you ......"
Duo'an's eyes widened at this time, and his original view of Zhou Duan was gone, but he didn't dare to joke about Siya's safety, and reported a coordinate.
Zhou Duan smiled at the two: "Perfect, then, goodbye." ”
In the eyes of the two women, Zhou Duan's figure disappeared into the night again.
Seeing that the other party disappeared, Siya's face became a little ugly: "What should I do, listen to this...... Xu Mu's meaning, that disaster beast doesn't seem to be gone yet, so let's ......"
Duo An's face hidden under the mask was expressionless: "Now, princess, let's go to the back garden first, the monster should be in the vestibule." ”
Siya's eyes lit up: "Yes, there is a ...... in the back garden"
Siya, who had reacted, regained her look.
Neither of them noticed that less than a meter behind them, Zhou Duan was standing there quietly.
Phantom body and six senses.
Looking at their backs, Zhou Duan touched his chin: "These two don't look like bad people, do you want to tell them that the monster they said is in the back garden?" ”
The red alarm in the ground tone was not as strong as it was on the side of the Marquis's Palace, and there was no voice reminder.
So, in the end, it can't be saved.
