Chapter 552 I'm Going Back to My Hometown!
"This is my apology."
At the bottom of the box were these flashes of text.
"Natsu, what are you doing with that box?"
The werewolf princess leaned over and looked curiously at the inside of the box.
"There's a ...... in this Ay? ”
Xia looked away slightly, and then looked back to see that the words in the box were gone.
"Sorry...... This is written by Luo Ye? Maybe she's here too. ”
She figured out the meaning of this sentence in her heart, it should be that the other party was apologizing for hiding the things of the New World.
"In that case, there should be some mystery to this magic card."
Xia carefully stared at the magic cards in his hand for a long time, and didn't find anything special on them, and then called Edith and Sadonan to come over, and tried them with magic and arcane respectively, but there was no response.
"This little thing seems to be very sturdy."
The werewolf princess pinched her magic card.
Her strength was greater than that of the others, and when she bent the magic card to a certain arc, a layer of white light suddenly burst out from it.
"Wow!"
As a result, she was wrapped in a transparent white ball, and her feet slipped and sat on the ground, no matter how much she punched and kicked inside.
"Deria!"
Natsu was also taken aback at first, but later found that the werewolf princess was in good spirits inside, and there was no sign of injury or poisoning at all, so she tried to draw her sword and slash it a few times, and after a while, the white ball disappeared.
"This thing seems to be a little lighter."
She took the magic card in the werewolf princess's hand, and found that the white light flowing inside had faded, and it seemed that the energy contained in it had lost a lot.
"It's like a shield."
Sadonan came over and said, "It's not a dangerous thing, but it can resist for a moment when it is attacked by external forces, it should be a new product developed by Haring." ”
"Sorry...... That's what you're referring to? ”
Natsu kept the bleak magic card for herself, and replaced it with another one for the frightened werewolf princess. Tell her to put it on her plump chest and protect her heart.
The others also knew that this was a good thing after seeing the scene just now, and they also wore magic cards on their bodies, which they could use to resist at critical moments.
"Meow?"
Sadara's technology system is in a class of its own, and Catwoman has never seen anything like it before, and shines the magic card against the sun. Don't know how to use it.
"You're going to leave it here."
Natsu took out a ribbon and tied the magic card into Polly's blonde hair.
Touching the bow on her head, Polly jumped happily twice, her light tail floating in the air, and she turned around and hugged Xia and rubbed her belly non-stop.
"Polly, let go."
Finding that all eyes around her were focused on this, Natsu hurriedly removed the little catwoman from her body.
Touching her head to comfort the somewhat injured Polly, she walked to the front of the line and reached out to the dark crack in the mountain. A call was issued to all:
"Everyone! We've got the best chance yet, so come with me inside the ruins! In the future, we may have to stay there for a long time until we can't improve our strength! ”
"Hehe, hello, little one."
After everyone had entered, a gloomy voice came from above Abner, who was in charge of the drag.
The sudden sound startled him, and he looked up to find a "man" in a black robe floating in the air. Two strange glimmers flashed from his dim face, staring at him in the air.
"Are you...... Lord Lich? ”
It was only then that Abner realized that the other man's voice was somewhat familiar. He asked in the next interview.
He had had some academic exchanges with Fernanxi on the ship, and the voice of the lich was actually a manifestation of the spirit power, which could maintain its original characteristics even if the body was changed.
"How's it going to be about the knowledge you were taught last time?"
The lich fell from the sky and stood beside him.
"That's a university question!" At the mention of the word knowledge, Abnerdon became excited:
"Through a series of analyses and researches, I think the point of enchantment is not just to add additional abilities to equipment......
"Your Highness the Princess. Greetings to you. ”
Shortly after everyone entered the crack in the mountain, they were suddenly stopped by several women dressed as priests.
One of the women, who had a cross on her head, respectfully took out a box and raised it above her head with both hands:
"This is a gift from the Lord that we asked you to give you, and I hope you will accept it."
"Jacqueline!"
Glori, who was in the vanguard, covered her mouth in surprise.
"Who is she?"
Xia asked in a voice.
"This lord's name is Jacqueline, and she is one of the valets of Lord Helen......"
Glori's voice was already very small, and when she spoke in a low voice, it was not much louder than a mosquito humming, and if it weren't for Xia's ears, she really couldn't hear what she said.
"Helen ......"
Xia's heart felt uncomfortable for a while, and he reluctantly took the square box.
Jacqueline handed over the box and saluted and left, she seemed to be waiting here, and after the task was completed, she did not go in the direction of the ruins, but walked directly out of the mountain with a few priests.
"These two people will not be planned to send gifts one after the other, right?"
Xia slowly opened the lid cautiously, and after seeing what was inside, he immediately stayed in place like a wood carving.
"What's it this time?"
The team led by the werewolf princess was in second place, and when she saw that Natsu had got another box, she immediately came over curiously.
"Smack!"
Xia hurriedly closed the box and reluctantly smiled:
"It's nothing...... It's just a little gift that you won't be interested in. ”
"Eh——————"
Delia hugged her arm in disobedience:
"Just let me see it......"
"Don't make a fuss, there's an enemy coming."
Wendy, who was in charge of the third team, walked past the two and looked ahead.
At this moment, dozens of scarlet eyes lit up in the dark mountain belly ahead.
"Run!!"
Two figures stumbled out of it, and when they saw someone in front of them, they immediately rushed towards this side, and one of them tripped over a rock on the ground. I rolled and continued to run, and it didn't take long for me to come to the front of everyone.
"Borrowed!"
But the two men did not greet the strange-looking group, but fled past them, and hurried out of the cracks.
"Dario, where are you mercenaries?"
The guard at the gate knew the man who was running in front, and the horizontal gun stopped him.
"Don't stop me! I don't want to be in this place anymore. I'm going back home! ”
The man wiped his sweat-soaked face and shouted:
"I sold all my possessions to come here just to make a windfall! As a result, those bastards went out to entangle with monsters every day, and the ore and specialty products were monopolized by the above, and I didn't even earn a single gold coin so far, but I was wounded! ”
"That's right!"
The man who rolled on the ground just now was a fat man, and he gasped and said:
"The army is simply unreliable and allows outsiders to fight with us! Who knows if those guys will stab us in the back? The goods I have stored in the import of Zài are also gone, and they must have been done by the thieves of Jofhis! ”
The two men stood in the doorway and tried to rush out, but the guards drove them back without mercy:
"The commander commanded. As long as everyone goes in, they are not allowed to come out casually, and all supplies will be transported inside, so you won't be hungry! In addition, there will be a temporary camp at the entrance, where there are shops run by the Pioneer Alliance and Harlem respectively, specializing in selling bullets and weapons, so don't be afraid that there will be no way to fight the monsters......"
"Are you going to let us people show you the way?"
The fat man stopped doing it as soon as he heard it:
"That's just putting our lives in trade...... Yes!! ”
He didn't finish his words.
Because one of the guards hit him in the head with the butt of a rifle, causing him to bleed from the head and roll over and fall to the ground.
"Avai. Are you okay? ”
The mercenary named Dario hurriedly helped him up.
The fat man sat there with a snort, and the two looked angrily at the guard at the door. But they didn't dare to open their mouths to scold the street again.
"Let's take a look."
Xia frowned and said.
"Hey man, what's wrong with you guys?"
Abner was closest to the exit, so he took the initiative to go over and ask.
Before asking, he took out two apples and threw them to the two of them, and their eyes lit up, and one took one and nibbled on it.
"They're trying to trap us here. Prevent the progress of the exploration from leaking out, just because we see what's going on inside the ruins. ”
The fat man bit off half of the apple, and said angrily: "Those regular soldiers didn't move, and they all let the mercenary team rush inside, and now I don't know how many people have died!" It's just making us ......"
He looked at the guards not far away. swallowed back the next words, lowered his head and took a bite of the apple fiercely.
"As long as you come in, you can't go out?"
Wendy walked up to the guards and asked, "Why haven't we heard about this?" ”
Several guards saw the magic card she was wearing and immediately lowered their weapons.
One of them gave her a military salute and replied:
"Unlike those mud legs, you are our guests of honor in Harlem; If you want to go out, you just need to say hello to the chief, and we will let you go as soon as we are notified. ”
"Bring the two of them along, I have something to ask them."
Xia asked Ebner and Sadonan's team to bring the fat man and the mercenary half-forced, and led the team to the depths of the mountain crevice.
"They're amazing."
Along the way, the team encountered monsters from time to time, but all the monsters that stood in the way would be eliminated in a blink of an eye, and Dario and Avai, who were originally a little dissatisfied, looked terrified, no wonder this group of people would be treated as VIPs by Haring, this terrible combat power was comparable to that of a regular army.
"There are a lot of enemies here, let's kill them for a while."
Arriving at a relatively spacious place, Xia asked several teams to guard all the passages and began to kill the monsters that poured out from all directions.
"Tell me what's inside, it's yours."
She walked up to the two men, took the small piece of star sand ore from her waist bag, and threw it to one of them.
"It's ...... Xingsha Rough Stone! And the purity is not low. ”
The fat man was a businessman, his eyes lit up.
"Not long ago, the Pioneer Alliance and the Empire fought fiercely outside the ruins in order to compete for the station, but in the course of the battle, they were attacked by monsters, and the elites of both sides suffered heavy losses."
The mercenary and the fat man had a good relationship, and began to take the initiative to answer Xia's questions:
"After a long period of negotiations, the two sides finally reached an agreement on joint development, but each side cannot interfere with each other's progress, and information and resources are not shared, and there is ......"
Under the efficient siege of everyone, after a while, the nearby monsters began to thin out.
"Keep going."
After listening to the situation inside, Xia, who had a bottom in his heart, led the team to continue to march inward.
Due to the clever configuration of the crowd and the strong main force of each team, they did not encounter any danger at all, and rushed to the entrance of the ruins before nightfall.
"Oh my God, a lot of people."
Albert marveled at the myriad tents erected in front of the wide entrance.
In front of the tents were people sitting on the ground, some handymen were pinching their noses to clean up the dirt on the ground, and to the left of the tents was the Empire's station, which looked much more tidy.
"Want a good location? Just give this number. ”
A big man with a shiny face came up and said to Abner, who looked like a leader:
"Don't be too expensive, the entrance to the ruins will open soon, and only those who go first will reap the most generous benefits." (To be continued......)
