Brain tumors attack quickly and end quickly. After a brief period of severe pain, Chen Yan broke out in a cold sweat. He wiped the marks on the wall with his fingers and sat back down at the table.

In the quiet room, Chen Yan's pen rustled, constantly marking out complex symbols on the parchment. This is the text of the devil, and it records some of the codes that the devil often uses, and it would be a great fortune if these were given to those who know how to do it. And it is also an important resource for this town. Chen Yan's job is to translate it and organize it into a new code that humans can use.

It's a very boring job that requires a lot of knowledge. In the past, it was all done by the old travelers, but now it is Chen Yan's turn.

As the sky grew dark, Leah got up quietly and lit the oil lamp.

Chen Yan ignored it. It wasn't until the last stroke was completed that he looked up and took a deep breath. "I think that's enough for our accommodation. Hopefully they will be satisfied. ”

"It's a lot." Leah replied softly. "Just half of it. The town's technology can't yet digest the codes, and what they need now is real supplies. ”

"I know, the Kuroshio is coming?" Chen Yan put down the quill pen and stretched his waist widely.

Kuroshio is a type of weather that manifests itself in dark clouds that completely obscure the sky, accompanied by foul-smelling rain and dense fog. From afar, it looks like a black tide rolling from the sky. Kuroshio is very common in this world and is experienced by humans several times a year. From the danger hài Cheng dù said that except for the fact that it was darker when it happened, the air smelled like it didn't have any effect. It usually lasts only a few days, and when it recedes, it leaves behind a lot of nutrient-rich land. On the contrary, it will be beneficial for humans.

But the problem is that the Kuroshio did not come alone...... The Kuroshio is often accompanied by demonic invasions.

God knows why these weak demons in the wild are so sensitive to the Kuroshio, and whenever the Kuroshio happens, they will appear irritable and hostile to all of them. When the Kuroshio Tide occurs, the negotiation is ineffective, and if you encounter a demon, the only way is to kill the other party, or be killed by the other party.

The upcoming acid rain season and the Kuroshio Flood warning have put the town of Hakim into a wartime state. Most of the people who had gone out had returned, and the guards had also walked up the town walls. Scouts were dispatched five kilometers away to give early warning. The demon invasion doesn't last long, and it's mostly weak and weak demons. So the atmosphere in the small town of Hakim is tense, but it is still able to maintain normal daily operations.

Compared to many small villages in the wilderness, they are lucky enough......

Chen Yan stood up and looked down from the window of the tower, and could see that the searchlight on the town wall had been turned on, constantly sweeping the surrounding area. The armored barrier at the town gate stretched across the road, and the sharp spikes were densely packed. Daunting.

As night falls, the town quiets down. Only bars and other entertainment venues still maintain the hustle and bustle. The mercenaries drank and laughed as if they were completely oblivious to the impending danger. If there is no fighting, how can they make money? This Kuroshio is a problem for ordinary people, but for them it is an opportunity.

Chen Yan looked at it for a while, then turned to Leah and asked. "You say, we ask to leave now, will it be dangerous?"

"This is leaving?" Leah's eyelashes twitched. "We ...... It doesn't seem to be ready yet. ”

"But I think it's about the same." Chen Yan sighed. "I have a hunch that this Kuroshio will not be too simple."

"The town of Hakim has enough weapons and ammunition, as well as heavy artillery built on the walls." Leah seemed to want to refute Chen Yan. "The town garrison is stationed in a hundred people, and the number of mercenaries is three hundred and twenty. Judging by the current defensive strength, we are safe unless we encounter more than a thousand weak demons. ”

Leah is the granddaughter of the old traveler and has been well taught since she was a child. Analysis and organization are her forte. After three years of getting along day and night, she and Chen Yan have become a very delicate state, like relatives and companions. The death of the old traveler hit her hard, and she has been reluctant to approach anyone since. Chen Yan is the only exception.

Listening to the girl's words, Chen Yan shook his head.

He didn't say anything, because he really didn't have any evidence. But he doesn't believe in evidence, but in feelings. His hunch ...... Never deceived him.

In fact, Chen Yan's hunch was right, and sure enough, before dawn, a news came that the scouts sent out had returned. But when they went out, there were more than 30 people, but only five came back. There are also injuries ...... One of the scouts died as soon as they reached the door, and the rest were carried into the infirmary. There is a town garrison at the gate, and no news can be transmitted.

Chen Yan didn't need to get the news, he just needed to look at the mercenary's expression. Mercenaries are the ones who perceive danger the most. They have been fighting all year round and have a certain sense of any risk. The atmosphere in the bar was obviously much more depressed today, and the mercenaries could not hear the chatter and laughter.

In the tower, Chen Yan was packing up. Leah was also busy outside, and walked in after a while.

"Maybe we need some weapons. Or hire a small team of mercenaries. She whispered. There was finally a hint of worry in his eyes. "Even if the Kuroshio Tide is not yet approaching, the wild is too dangerous right now. We...... We can't get far. ”

"What weapon will you use?" Chen Yan said with a smile. "Bulky machine guns, rocket artillery? Or maybe a lady's pistol? ”

"I'll use the TS71 Magic Action Rifle. Knows how to drive twelve types of vehicles, including armored vehicles. If necessary, I can also maneuver Volute-class walking vehicles. Leah pulled her fingers seriously, seemingly not paying attention to Chen Yan's tone.

"But we don't have enough money, and the town doesn't have that much heavy equipment. So hiring some mercenaries was the only option we could come up with. I'm sure those guys will want to leave this place now, too. ”

Chen Yan was a little sideways, he really didn't expect Leah to have so many things. In fact, during those three years, he had only seen Leah run the household and study demonology, but he had never seen her master this knowledge. Of course, everyone has secrets, and he has never shown his strength in front of Leah and the Traveler.

But today......

Chen Yan straightened up and looked out the window, then turned his gaze to the corner of the room.

On the square table there, there was a box. It was covered with a thin layer of dust.

It was a very ordinary box, but Chen Yan knew that it contained a white dress......

"Trust me, Leah......"

"Safety is not an issue."
