Chapter 45: The City of Sin

The caravan is already very close to Sin City, although the destruction of the Secret Bone is no longer important, it has become the carrier of the Heroic Spirit Blueman's residence, and Liu Li's mission has been completed, but the caravan's supplies have also been lost more than half of the "Mask" attack all the way. These days, the caravan has suffered a lot of losses, and nearly half of the dozen or so carts that have just entered the swamp have been used for freight, and only Eve's car has survived, and the others have been destroyed. The guards and mercenaries were reduced by nearly forty percent, and if it weren't for the fact that they were in a dangerous swamp with no way to escape, the team might have collapsed under the fluctuation of people's hearts. Now the group urgently needs to find a place to repair, and Sin City is the only option. It's not a safe place, but it's much better than in the middle of nowhere.

The caravan stayed in place for a long time, and did not set off until noon the next day, and the caravan had been chased by the "mask" for so many days, plus a battle last night, and had already exhausted itself. Liu Li still remembers that when she woke up in the morning, she saw the mercenaries on the night watch dozing off. Apparently they were all exhausted, otherwise they would never have been so negligent in the depths of the swamp that was full of crises.

The caravan struggled through the swamp, and without the mud monkey as a guide, no one could lead the caravan through the dangerous areas of the swamp, and the battle ended in such a hurry that no one even knew whether the mud monkey had escaped or died in the swamp. But fortunately, with Liu Li, a spellcaster with outstanding perception, there is no danger on the way forward.

The survivors of the caravan looked at Liu Li with less fear and more respect. Compared with the decaying and decaying undead, it is clear that the aura of the heroic spirit with firm faith is more acceptable. Especially the squirrel, who knew more about the element of death, no longer had the previous fear of Liu Li, she had never heard of a necromancer who could awaken the Heroic Spirit. Even though Liu Li now contains a strong element of death, she no longer shows rejection.

Although the squirrel didn't tell Liu Li why she knew so much about necromancy, she knew everything about Liu Li's questions about necromancy during the time before she arrived in Sin City. In her opinion, Liu Li is already a necromancer, and no matter what, she should let him know more about necromancy, so as to avoid Liu Li from making some irreparable mistakes when using necromantic magic. The original world of the squirrel did not have any life elements, and the damage caused by necromancy was usually irreparable.

In fact, Liu Li is also very curious about the original world of squirrels. The squirrel also described her world to Liu Li a few days ago, and from the caster's point of view, it was a world where the elements were missing. It's not so much a continent as a very large island. It's just that the world is surrounded not by seawater, but by the abyss. It is said that in the entire world, only the black element exists, and its manifestation is decay and death. There are few forests and lakes there, and there is very little land suitable for farming, and demonic beasts that have been eroded and mutated by the death element are frequent, and there are often wars between intelligent beings, and necromancers are the most common war jobs in that world.

The squirrel never told Liu Li about his family, and when Liu Li asked about it, she always talked about him left and right. However, Liu Li could also see that the environment in which the squirrel lived before was not bad, but there was some estrangement between her and her family, but since she didn't want to mention it more, Liu Li didn't continue to dwell on this issue.

The caravan traveled for almost another week before finally reaching its original destination, Sin City. Sin City's walls were not as tall as those of Casfel's southern forests, but it was amazing to be able to do so in a stone-deficient environment like a swamp. There are also soldiers defending the city, and the threats they need to face come mainly from the magical beasts in the swamp, and the inspection of the caravan is quite lenient. This is not surprising, this is the penal colony of the losers, whether it is the Kronos Empire in the west or the Huangyu in the east, they will not have any interest in such a harsh environment.

The group entered the city without any trouble, and Liu Li, who had completed the task, also began to observe this unusual city. Different from what Liu Li had imagined before, in this city, Liu Li saw a different order from other places.

Once the caravan had found an inn and settled down, Eve went out with a few men who needed to sell the goods they had brought with them, buy some of the local specialties, and most importantly replenish the supplies on their return. Although the main purpose of her trip was to destroy the Bones of the Secret Words, Eve's caravan steward's identity was not fake.

Liu Li did not go with Eve, and Liu Li, who left the inn alone, wanted to know more about the city, and as a spellcaster, he was full of curiosity about this city that existed in a swamp rich in black elements. As for the cute little squirrel, she had slept peacefully, and it had been more than a week since she had just crossed over, and she had not slept peacefully.

At this time, it was afternoon, and while Liu Li, who was strolling on the long street of Sin City, observed the surrounding environment, he secretly had a conjecture in his heart. Although I don't know who the person who founded the Sin City was in the first place, from the overall layout of the city, Liu Li could see that it was a very thoughtful person. This man may be the loser of the imperial power struggle, but he also has a unique way of planning the city.

In fact, Liu Li is not wandering aimlessly, since absorbing the death element in the Bone of Secret Words, the blue in the meditation space has become more and more active. And at the same time that Liu Li entered the Sin City, he was also keenly aware that there was something in this kind of city that attracted him, and it was not a strange thing containing elements, but a kind of knowledge that he had never been exposed to. In the state of "omniscience", Liu Li could clearly see the direction of the flow of the elements, and the black elements in the city of sin, unlike those in the swamp outside, flowed according to a specific law, which undoubtedly proved that in this city, there was an unimaginably huge magic circle. Liu Li hadn't systematically learned about the magic array, but he could see the flow of elements, and it was not difficult for him to find the nodes of the magic circle. His goal is to be one of the gathering points of the black elements in the city. Liu Li believes that there is an important node of this huge magic circle there, and this node cannot be guarded by no one. In order to clearly see the flow of the elements, Liu Li has always maintained a state of "omniscience", and as he walked forward, he naturally found the small hand behind him that stretched out to the money bag around his waist.

Since Ian's death, Liu Li's mood has not been very good, and the last words he left obviously proved that the death element is not as simple as he imagined, and there are any hidden dangers in it Liu Li has not yet discovered. But even if he is in a bad mood, according to Liu Li's character, it will not cause too much damage to the owner of the little hand, and the playful Liu Li secretly cast a black hole in his money bag, under the control of the excellent elements, the outer edge of the black hole is close to the inner wall of the money bag, and the little hand that stretches out to the money bag is directly submerged into the black hole. As for the other end of the black hole, it is located right above the head of the owner of this little hand.

Well, Liu Li now regrets his prank, and comforting children is not what he is good at. Apparently the little girl behind her was terrified, even if she was a thief, but she had never experienced such a thing as pulling her hair out of her target's purse.

The little girl in front of her looked about eight or nine years old, and of course she was about twenty years old according to the age of humans in this world. The little girl was a "local", and her family was not wealthy, but it didn't seem to be so poor that she had to come out and steal to make a living. Obviously, her previous behavior was just to see herself as an "outsider" on a whim, but she didn't expect to scare herself enough.

"Let go of my daughter!" Hearing the shout, the corners of Liu Li's mouth twitched, how to explain this. The little girl was crying, but her hair was still tightly tugging in her hands, forming a circle through the black hole channel. Liu Li couldn't directly disperse the black hole, the little girl's long black hair still looked very beautiful, he couldn't just cut off her hair.

"I'm sorry, Master Master, it's me who didn't discipline me well, if you have any losses, I can compensate, can you let my daughter go first?" After learning the whole story, the middle-aged man's attitude directly changed one hundred and eighty degrees. After he was exiled to Sin City, he met his wife, and now he has a daughter, and he is very satisfied with his current life, as for the reason for being exiled here, he has already seen it, and he doesn't particularly care. He even found an opportunity to take his daughter to the Iron Wall Sentry so that the little girl could see the outside world. But perhaps it was the reason for that time that let my daughter know the disdain and discrimination of outsiders against the residents of Sin City, and since then, my daughter will find a way to play tricks every time she meets a foreigner who comes to Sin City, and the business travelers don't want to make a big deal now, which also makes the little girl more and more unscrupulous. Until this time, a spellcaster was finally provoked.

"Ah, it's fine. Liu Li naturally couldn't blame this teary-eyed little girl, gently stroked her hair, took out a few nuts from her pocket and handed them to her, "Good, don't cry, come and eat nuts for you." Liu Li is still very confident in the taste of these nuts, the squirrel is worthy of her name, and the nuts she finds have no bad taste.

"Are you going to find Rabit?" The middle-aged man was also quite surprised when he learned Liu Li's destination, the old Rabit was a half-orc who lived in seclusion, and he didn't have much communication with his neighbor. He didn't know why the venerable young spellcaster in front of him was looking for Rabit, and he didn't dare to ask more, but seeing Liu Li's kind attitude, he wasn't worried that his neighbor would be harmed.

"Come with me, I'll take you there. ”
