Secret Realm Chapter 13 The Legend of Devil's City
After many days of trekking, we did not dare to stop for a moment, except for some supplies along the way.
Finally, on a sunny afternoon, I found the guide that Mr. Ji said.
Black, it's really black, it's darker than San'er.
Facing the thin old man like charcoal, even San'er was shocked.
This man's name is Habtu, and he is an old indigenous inhabitant of the territory, and because the ruins of the Devil's City have been found before, he is considered an ominous person in this area.
And this person has nothing to do, so he can only earn some money as a foreign tourist by being a guide.
When Habtu saw us coming, he greeted us with great enthusiasm and asked, "Which one is surnamed Dan?" ”
"Hahaha......"
Laughter rang out all around.
Lao Ma pushed me out and said with a smile: "This, this person is the one you are looking for, hahahaha, my mother, I will laugh at this stalk for a year." ”
Habtu saw me, his eyes lit up, and I saw money clearly in his reflection.
"Master Dan, I miss you to death, I want to die of you, I want to look forward to it every day, and I finally look forward to you!"
Saying that, he actually opened his arms to give me a hug.
I hurriedly stretched out my hand to signal him to stop, this old black man had a bad smell of sweat on his body, and if he hugged him, I guess I would have to take several showers to deodorize it.
Rejected by me for a hug, Habtu said with a little embarrassment: "Don't stand outside, let's get inside!" ”
The old man in this territory speaks Mandarin very well, but he didn't expect this etiquette to be in place.
Our group followed Habtu to his dilapidated house.
The furniture and items are neatly arranged, but it's just ...... There was a lot of dust, and when I thought of his stinky and sweaty image, I suddenly felt like I was on pins and needles.
We were fine, Tony didn't get out of the car, and now that I think about it, he's still very wise.
Zhang Genhuo whispered behind me: "Brother, we won't have to eat here, right?" I don't want to eat a mouthful of sand......"
Zhang Genhuo's words speak to my heart.
At this time, Habtu suddenly shouted: "Old woman, here are the guests!" ”
At this time, an old woman wearing an apron came out of the house, much fatter than Habutu, and her skin was not so dark.
Nahabutu's wife said: "This is the boss surnamed Dan, what a talent......"
"Hahahaha......"
"This terrier, two years, two years! Hahaha......"
The two old men didn't know what we were laughing at, so they just laughed along.
I was the only one in the audience who was extremely embarrassed, and I hurriedly coughed and said, "That...... Let's arrange it

Let's take a trip. ”
Habtu waved his hand and said, "Eh, guests from afar, how can we be so rude when you come here in the dust." I know your rules, talk about things with wine and food, and I'm ready for it. Wife, go cook a few dishes and entertain our guests! ”
Good guy, you're really going to cook for us......
Unexpectedly, at this time, everyone waved their hands in unison and said: "No, no, don't bother......"
Habtu laughed and said, "You people from big cities, just be polite, it's okay!" ”
"No, no, no, we ...... We're not hungry, we're not hungry......"
"Yes, yes, what the egg master said is right, we are not hungry......"
"yes, I'm not hungry......"
……
Habtu had to believe it and said, "Alright then, let's sit down and talk." ”
With that, he sat on the only seat free of dust.
I looked at the dusty seats, sighed, and said, "We people, it's really ...... If you're not used to sitting, let's just stand and talk. ”
Others chimed in: "Yes, yes, yes." ”
"Stand and talk."
"It's good to stand, it's good."
"That, Habtu Senpai. How much do you know about Devil's Town? ”
In the end, Habtu did not resist us, so he simply stood up and said: "O devil's city you are going to, it is a very terrible place, according to legend, a long time ago, it was a rich country, called the kingdom of Celturis, and then I don't know why, suddenly all the people of this kingdom died overnight, leaving only an empty city. As time passed, it slowly became the current dilapidated state, but every night there would be ghosts crying there, and according to legend, it was the dead people crying to the world, so it was called the Devil's Town. ”
Seemingly apprehensive, he took a pipe out of his pocket, lit it with a match, and threw the matchstick haphazardly on the ground.
He took two puffs of his cigarette and said, "As for why all the people there died overnight, we have two legends here. ”
"The first legend is that the riches of the kingdom of Celturis came from the mercy of the gods. However, people gradually get carried away because of the favorable material conditions, their children are not filial, their brothers are not harmonious, and people are becoming more and more indifferent to each other, and there is only one thing that people care about, that is, money. The gods were saddened to see the country become like this, and they took the form of a frail old beggar begging in the streets of Setulis. Unexpectedly, all the people in exchange were cold bystanders, and until the third day, the old beggar turned into a god starved to death on the street, and no one reached out to help. The gods were finally enraged, and they wiped the inhuman kingdom of Setulis from the world overnight. So this story tells us that money can easily make people lose themselves, and if you look at me, I am very poor
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
My heart is very pure......"
I hurriedly coughed twice and interrupted the words of this thin old man, you old thing, tell legends and legends, how can it become a fable, and you still don't forget to put gold on your face.
"Ahem! Uncle Habtu, we don't want to know about the rest of the story, so please move on to the second legend. ”
Habtu smiled awkwardly and said, "It's a little off-topic, but my mind is ......."
"Uncle Habtu!!"
"Hehe, this second legend seems a little more real. It is rumored that because the kingdom of Setulis is too rich, some of the surrounding countries have bad intentions, and finally those countries came together and jointly launched a war of aggression against Setulis. With a great disparity in strength, Setulis was quickly defeated, the people and soldiers were slaughtered, and countless treasures and grain were plundered. Finally, the last king of Setulis made a pact with the demon at the last moment, freeing the devil from underground. The demons slaughtered everyone present indiscriminately, and overnight, the city of Setulis became a dead city. This story tells us that wealth is not exposed, you see me ......"
"Uncle Habtu!! Don't feel bad after reading what you say, okay? ”
"Uh...... Have you heard all of my smooth narratives? Looks like I need to improve my storytelling......"
I put my hand on my forehead, what kind of person is this, and the latter one is real.
Demons, demons are all out, where is it real? Isn't this still a myth and legend of his meow?
From the mouth of this unreliable uncle, it seems that he can't get any too real information, this old guy is superstitious or superstitious in addition to superstition.
And this old guy has never really entered Devil's City, so he must not know whether there is any danger there.
It seems that we came in vain this time, we have heard a lot of myths and stories, and we have not gotten any useful information.
I simply said: "Uncle Habtu, I think I'll be here today, I decided to set off early tomorrow morning to find the Devil's City, here is a deposit of two thousand yuan, and I will give you the remaining half when I come back, I don't know if it's convenient for you here?" ”
When Habtu saw the pile of red banknotes, his eyes straightened, and he immediately took the money, and quickly nodded: "No problem, no problem, an old man with a pure heart like me is the most punctual." ”
"Okay, let's not bother, see you tomorrow morning at six o'clock."
"Hey, see you at six, see you at six, Boss Egg walks slowly."
After we went out, we went straight to the hotel.
To tell the truth, the journey has been tiring, and everyone has starved, but we really dare not eat the food of Habtu's family.
After a casual meal, we found a random hotel to stay.
I lay in a comfy bed, unable to sleep for a long time.
Starting tomorrow, it will be another bizarre journey.
