Chapter 195: Goodbye or better yet, never again
"Fatalia Wizard, the wisest and most intelligent demon in the world, I have always been proud to have settled in the city I rule. Truth be told, Fataria Wizard and I used to be friends with all kinds of things, but when the world was in turmoil, the upper family began to change, and Fatalia found that he could no longer live in this city without worry, I sent him away to the distant city of Faku. After hearing the words of the ancient blue bird, the Demon King Eskeli couldn't help but say regretfully.
"But why do we hear that the Wizard of Fatalia did not leave the city, but lived in seclusion somewhere, but no one knows where he is?" The ancient blue bird looked at Eskeley and said.
Eskeli was stunned for a moment, shook his head with regret on his face and said: "That's all fake, that's the news I released in the name of Fatalia, so that the people above think that Fatalia is still in my ball demon city, attract firepower for Fatalia, so that he can live as a simple demon in Faku City, find his own peaceful life, and not be disturbed by anyone." ”
Gu Qingniao and Li Xiaoyao glanced at each other, and they both saw the doubts in the eyes of both parties.
After thinking about it, Gu Qingniao pretended to be very sorry and said, "Eskeley Demon King, I don't know if you have a map of the Demon Realm?" The two of us were new to the city and were very eager to have a map to show us the way, because we still had a lot to go to and a lot to find. ”
The Demon King of Eskeli looked embarrassed and said: "As far as I know, there is no completely unified map in the Demon Realm, even we, the Demon King, can only often come and go to some familiar places according to experience, if you encounter an unfamiliar area, you need to find the local Demon King, or explore on your own, but I am still willing to give the map near my territory to the two, just wait a while." ”
With that, the Demon King Eskeli left the living room and walked to the other side, Gu Qingniao and Li Xiaoyao made eye contact, did not say a word, just quietly waited for the return of the Demon King.
It didn't take long for the Askley Demon King to come out of the library, spread the roll of parchment on the table, and said, "This is the detailed map of our territory, the map I invited a master to come here to survey and map about two hundred years ago, and it is already a very detailed map. The part of the minimap above represents the general extent of our territory in the entire Demon Realm, as well as the distribution of some other Demon King forces around it. ”
Gu Qingniao and Li Xiaoyao looked at the map and found that the map was very fine, even if it was a map outside, it was almost the same level as this one, but that kind of civilian map was it.
The two of them looked at it for a while, and quickly found the Bijinli Mountain Range, and the strange thing is that the words on this one are all in the words of the demon clan, but Gu Qingniao and Li Xiaoyao can actually understand it, and they can't help but be amazed. The Demon King of Eskeli said with a smile: "This is the map I invited the cartographer of the demon world to draw, with the translation function, as long as you see the text on it, you can understand the content of the text, it is very advanced magic, I have made three backups with it, this backup will be given to the two, I hope the two can fulfill their wishes." ”
Li Xiaoyao turned his head and said: "Then thank you for not having me, Your Highness, this map is really tied up, after all, we are outsiders and will not live in this place for a long time, if we have the opportunity to return to the Ball Demon City after using it, we must return this precious map to Zhao and return it to the Demon King After all, such a precious thing should not be left outside." ”
The Demon King of Eskerly waved his hand and said, "Since I gave it to the two of you, I have no intention of taking it back, if the two of you really leave this world, it is better to take it as my gift and bring it back as my heart." ”
The two of them didn't accept the Demon King's proposal, because they really didn't want to have too much interaction with the Demon King. After chatting with the Demon King for a while, every time he sighed at Fatalia Wizard, the Demon King praised them, claiming that they were very good friends and had experienced some kind of adventures when they were young.
"How much do you think Eskeley's words are credible?" Li Xiaoyao asked.
Gu Qingniao smiled and said, "I can't believe a word." ”
The two of them had already left Eskeley's castle, rejecting his request to stay and dine, and headed straight back to the city. The two of them walked on the crowded street before they spoke, and they were afraid that the demon king would have some special surveillance methods in the castle before, so the two of them did not talk rashly.
Gu Qingniao said: "Compared with the ruling class, I prefer to believe the words of ordinary people, this Eskeli Demon King is simply a train on his lips, and not a word is true." Fatalia Wizard is obviously a person who exists to help adventurers, I don't think the creatures in this world will abandon their beliefs so easily, forget their honor, he said that when Fataria left the ball magic city in order to live a quiet and peaceful life without being disturbed by anyone, I no longer believe him, since he hid us from Fatalia's angry IG you, I don't think I have any reason to continue to believe in other things. ”
Li Xiaoyao nodded in agreement: "You're right, this Eskeli Demon King must be hiding some secret that can't be spoken, it is very likely that the Fatalia Wizard is not actually in seclusion, just holding it in his hands, if we really find Faku City, and we can't find Fatalia at that time, he can say that he just sent Fatalia to Faku City, and he doesn't know what happened next, and then he can leave it all in vain." ”
"If Fatalia is really in Eskeli's hands, I wonder how we should be able to meet Fatalia and ask for news of the Solar Ship?" Gu Qingniao was a little distressed, although they would not be harmed in this world, but it was still too unrealistic to want to sneak into Eskeley's castle to find someone, not to mention that Eskeley's castle was so big, even if it could be found, Eskeli would not detain such an important person in any place to hide, and the prison where Fatalia was held must be hidden and unnoticed.
The two men began to fall into deep thought.
However, at this time, at the entrance of the street, a thief-eyed person was looking around, and when he saw Gu Qingniao and Li Xiaoyao, he obviously suddenly became happy. He looked around and made sure that there were no people around him, then slipped out of the alley and walked to Gu Qingniao and Li Xiaoyao's side, and whispered: "It seems that the two of you are adventurers from outside, I know what you are looking for, and I also know where you are looking for, but I hope you two can come with me." ”
Gu Qingniao and Li Xiaoyao glanced at each other, and they both felt that this world was really unexpected. The two of them did not hesitate, and followed the thief-eyed guy to the alley, and turned around to an unknown place, which looked like a slum, and at this time the guy said loudly: "The adventurer from afar has come to the Ball Demon City, everyone come and see!" ”
As soon as the words fell, on the street that was still silent just now, several demons immediately came out. Among these demons, some are half-human demons, and some are non-human demons, and they look strange, but the only thing in common is that none of them are ball demons.
Gu Qingniao couldn't help but start thinking, did this city have other names before the turmoil? Or maybe the Ball Demon Clan wasn't the one who used to be in control of the city.
Among these demons, there is a demon who looks quite old, and his appearance is like a quilt, but judging from the walking posture and walking speed and the sound of speaking, he should be very old.
He came to the Ancient Blue Bird and said, "Adventurers from outside, allow me to welcome you with the highest respect. ”
The ancient blue bird is full of black lines, you will only say this sentence, right?
The quilt continued to speak: "As the two of you can see, we are the lowest demon clan in this city, living in the most dilapidated places and enjoying the lowest treatment. All the other inhabitants of the city are a class higher than we are, and we have nothing here to entertain our guests except our hospitality. But many years ago, we used to be the masters of this city, we used to live happily in this city, we owned our houses, we owned our property, we didn't need to be afraid that we would starve to death that day, we didn't have to hide in Tibet for the oppression of those petty bureaucrats, but now, this city no longer belongs to us, then we no longer belong to this city, we are like abandoned garbage, waiting for mold in this corner, waiting for our death. ”
"You mean that this city used to be your place of ownership?" The ancient bluebird heard what he meant.
The quilt sighed and said: "Yes, since five hundred years ago, after the turmoil, the city lord simply sheltered those demons who helped the adventurers, the demon world has launched a war again, all the demons who want to help the adventurers like this are all killed in the war, the city is robbed, all the people who want to help the adventurers, like us, have fallen to such a point, or simply thrown out of the city and left to fend for themselves, but in order to be able to get the right help when the adventurers come, We have chosen to stay, endure their cruel rule, and wait for your arrival. Thank goodness you're finally here! ”
Gu Qingniao understood that these demons were the original novice guides, but because of the rebellion of the NPCs, all the guides have been abandoned, leaving only them, waiting for the arrival of adventurers.
So the ancient blue bird asked, "We came to this city to find the Fatalia wizard, I wonder if any of you know where he is?" ”
"Actually, we waited in this city, waiting for the arrival of the two of us, arranged by Lord Fatalia, who told us to stay in the city before leaving, waiting for the arrival of the adventurers, and then pointing the adventurers to the right path. ”
"The right path? Where exactly does Fatelia Wizard want us to go? Is it true that she is no longer in the city? Gu Qingniao asked.
"Yes, Lord Fatalia has left this city, in order to confuse the eyes of the enemy, so that the enemy will never know where the demons who are really willing to help the adventurers live, in order to be able to complete their duties at the last moment, Lord Fatalia led all the remaining people, all moved to other places, and not in the city."
The ancient blue bird asked, "Then do you know where Fatalia is?" ”
The quilt shook his head and said: "No one knows where Lord Fatalia has gone, as long as he wants to, no one can find him, he can be a ball demon clan, he can be another demon clan, he can be a humanoid nobleman, he can be the lowest existence, or even he can be a natural cloud or a city, these are not certain." But the only thing that is certain is that Lord Fatalia is not in the Ball Demon City. ”
Gu Qingniao was about to have a stomachache after hearing this, this Fatalia was really good at playing and disappeared, and there was no clue at all, so she asked: "Then what are you calling us here for?" ”
The quilt was stunned for a moment, and said, "In order to tell you, Lord Fatalia is not in the Ball Demon City, if you want to find the adult, you can go to other places to see." ”
Gu Qingniao groaned for a moment, took out a roll of maps from behind him, and said to the quilt: "Can any of you look at the map, help me see if this map is real." ”
These demons looked at each other, and finally walked out of the three half-human demons, it seems that the status of the humanoid demons and the demi-human demons is still higher than that of other demons, and the IQ may be much higher, at least they will not be called to them like a quilt, just to tell them that Fatalia is no longer in this city. But the ancient bluebird at least chose to take their word for it, and it seemed that Fatalia was really not in the city.
If, as they say, Fatalia can make anything, then it is obviously very difficult to find Fatalia, and the map becomes a very important tool.
The three demihuman demons returned the map to the ancient blue bird and said, "According to the route we know, there is no problem with the map, and you can use it with peace of mind, I hope that the two distinguished guests can find Lord Fatalia as soon as possible and solve the problems of this world." ”
Gu Qingniao nodded and turned around decisively.
Good bye!
