Chapter 42: The Storm Rises
African Runner Boundary, Hades.
Measured purely geographically, the channel boundary covers the entire African plate and borders the Mediterranean Sea to the north. The frequent use of nuclear weapons by humans during tidal events and the continental shelf shocks caused by orcs are far from being as simple as the extinction of life.
It took ten years for the lush rainforest to thrive, with its radiated mutated bloodthirsty creatures, to develop into a dangerous area that ordinary humans could not set foot in. However, the New Humanity Government was overwhelmed with the plans for the New World, and this uninhabited area provided a natural shelter for the [Four Monarchs] group.
They built villages and towns here, and used a powerful wall of life to block the onslaught of bloodthirsty creatures, and this place was called the Runner Realm.
An area close to the edge of the plate, hot and humid all year round.
Surrounded by arbors, there are huge metal walls one after another, the walls are ten meters wide and about 100 meters high, interlocking, like a square cliff silently incorporating a town of Nuoda.
Metal wall end batteries enumerate that in any country, the owner of the town will face endless taxes and scrutiny.
However, it can be seen from the courtyard below, that the local natives are not afraid of any form of rhetoric, not to mention, their lord is now standing proudly on the giant wall, listening to the roar of beastmen from the depths of the primeval jungle from the afternoon heat.
Basically, it is the hoarseness of the bloodthirsty creatures that fear the sun, and they come out like bats at sunrise and sunset, leaving claw marks on the exposed walls over time.
The only weakness is the psychological shadow caused by the bright light that flashes at the moment of the nuclear explosion, the cup bow snake shadow, and the light of any intensity can cause damage to their eyes. In fact, the eye has long since deteriorated, and according to Darwin's survival of the fittest, it is only moved by a keen sense of smell and hearing.
"Giggle...... Compared to the cities of the New World, it's really a strong contrast...... I don't know if the old guys at Rite Terrace will pee their pants here in fright......"
The smile like a silver bell came from the town lord who was pleasantly admiring the scenery, and to be exact, four girls with different bodies and delicate faces.
A maid in a short skirt with slender hands staggered in front of him. On the right side of a delicate body, a doll with equal proportions is pinned.
One is armed with a Western heavy sword, with a rose-red armor wrapped around his body, and his eyes are gloomy. One bangs covered her eyelids, and a white evening dress reached the ground like water.
Maids, dolls, swordsmen, nobles, four very different identities are clustered together, and there is no trace of any emotion on their faces, no matter how strange they look, but really, these four are humanoid girls placed in the runner realm by the new government's direct government agency [Scolet Commune] to balance the power of the "Four Monarchs" regiment - [Four Weapons].
"Why laugh at those old guys? Are you asking for your own trouble...... And it is the Creator who mocks you. The aristocratic girl's cold gaze turned to the side, and she continued to the girl who was pretending to be asleep but the corners of her mouth were curved, "Vivien, what is it that makes you so cautious that you need to gather us all together?" ”
"First of all, I'm going to correct one thing." A green jade finger was pressed against her red forehead, and Vivien opened her eyes, revealing pink pupils, "They're just making my tools." It's like scissors, hammers, wrenches, screws, that's all. ”
The swordsman girl, who had been silent for a long time, said lightly: "It doesn't make a difference, but if you want to kill them, I don't object. But ......"
The words changed suddenly, and the girl unconsciously clenched the sharp blade on her waist: "Has your spiritual sense deteriorated?" Don't you smell a special smell? ”
"Huh......" The maid shook her nose, and after a while, her lips opened lightly: "It's true." Weiweian, is that why you rallied us? ”
"Hee-hee!"
Vivien smiled, and gradually handed out one palm, and as the plain color fluctuated, the puppet on her waist that was almost as vivid as herself rose to the top of the metal in the wind.
After a few seconds, a doll version of "Wei Wei'an", no matter the body, body type, or sneering posture, the identical puppet version of "Wei Wei'an" appeared vividly in the air, judging from close range, it was almost the same person.
"Distinguished guests are welcome."
Greeted with great sincerity, Vivien seemed to be talking to herself to the empty void in front of her, but it seemed to be to welcome her invitation, only a few tenths of a second later, Zou Ran's air flow rippled like a fan-shaped fluctuation, and two tightly wrapped "things" came out of it as expected.
Said that everything was a little lifted up to the other, one was wrapped in silver armor, revealing only two heroic eyes, and the gender was not even known. And the other is even more exaggerated, in the climate of this African rainforest, he is actually dressed in black linen, and he doesn't even bother to show his eyes, except for his tall stature and temporarily judging his gender to be male, he really feels like a psychotic escape from the madhouse.
However, in the face of the two people who were dressed strangely and had even more strange personalities, Wei Wei'an didn't dare to have a hint of mocking darkness, for no other reason, just with the heavy armor knight's waist The English style holy sword on his waist probably already had the qualifications to kill her, including the other three city lords.
"I won't say anything superfluous, the soul you want is here, so the agreement reached before will always be valid."
Since the other party broke the silence, it was logical, the knight's palm was spread out, and a glass ball was placed in it with a very cheerful twist.
"Of course, we're not going to joke with our heads." Continuing to greet respectfully, Vivian's eyes had already shown anticipation when she saw this wisp of living soul, and she really couldn't imagine that after thousands of years, the "legendary" thing that only existed in the ruins of civilization could actually reappear in the light of day.
The knight disagreed, her pursuit of the belief in the strong was far more important than this wisp of soul, and when she gently threw out this soul, she just looked at the remaining three girls, and could not feel the slightest bioelectric field from their bodies.
The four girls who were trained from the experimental base of humans have long since lost their qualifications as "humans". It is between people and weapons, it is a special fusion, the strength has increased by leaps and bounds, and the price is lifespan, which can only survive for thirty years, which is at best a few murderous beasts raised by the human army.
And now these beasts who have killed countless people have sensed the loss of life, and the only way is to go to the heavenly realm, the legendary prosperous "Hanging Garden of Babylon", through the power of the soul, to obtain the power imprisoned in the temple, so as to obtain the comfort of delaying the death of life.
"Then good luck to you, I am waiting for your good news in the distance." For creatures that weren't of the same kind, the knight had only been interested in Li Rin and the spirit beast so far. It's been done, and if she goes on any more, she'll think it's boring.
"Then send off the knight." Bending down politely, Vivien was well educated. At the same time, he said, "Once there is news of entering the Sky Garden, we will definitely notify Your Excellency, which is also the content of the previous agreement." ”
"I hope so." With a clean farewell, the knight and the man in black who had come with the space magic disappeared into the void without slackening......
It's a good time for the weekend again, and the leisurely Li Rin took the opportunity to stroll gracefully on the park trail with a pure white chinchilla.
There are not many people, who can get up early in the lazy time and perseverance, either the old man who plays Tai Chi, or the fitness men and women who regard "life lies in sports", and like Li Rin, who takes his pet for a leisurely stroll at six o'clock in the morning, there is only one and no other branch.
Walking around to the hinterland of the park, on the edge of a public toilet where no one paid attention to the shouting that his throat was broken, Aaron rolled his sapphire blue eyes, and suddenly whispered: "It's not that I deliberately concealed it, but last night, I just got the news from a spirit beast friend, that dead woman suddenly went to the Runner Realm, I really don't know what it means?" ”
The identity of the dead woman, from Aaron's mouth, is only the knight of unknown origin of Aliti.
The relationship between her and Totoro starts with Aaron inadvertently saving her life, but the specific situation, don't expect a foodie to remember it clearly, it only knows that Arita's terrifying strength definitely has the capital to rank among the world's top powerhouses.
In fact, if Aaron hadn't volunteered to stop the attack of Aliti's three guards that day, Li Rin and them would have died even worse, because that couple was like a hot-blooded girl who had been brainwashed by a pyramid scheme, and absolutely obeyed Aliti's orders, even if they were allowed to strip off their clothes and run naked.
"It's the living soul, that's the only answer." The leisurely master once again mobilized the mysterious wisdom of the mysteries and came up with an answer that even he thought was quite amazing, "To be reasonable, in the past half a month after the soul was taken away, after the surveillance of the Yan Murder Shop, not only is Aliti's whereabouts unknown, but the Demon Society doesn't seem to have taken any action, which is not in line with the consistent style." ”
"Are you thinking too much? That dead woman can't be judged by common sense, don't be fooled by her **** words, she really wants to kill you, and then take me for herself. ”
Aaron shook his head, as the intuition of a spirit animal, it has always been not inferior to any wise man, and this time is not special.
"Well, I might as well tell you honestly." Li Rin sighed loudly, "I really want to give you to Aliti, less than half a month to eat half of my living expenses, I won't raise rodents anyway." ”
"Damn! Ungrateful guys. When I help you stand in the way of the Holy See, you don't talk like that. ”
"Why are you imposing responsibility on me for the affairs of the previous generation of white doves, and I am not his grandson."
Aaron's anger jumped even higher when he heard this: "If you are his grandson, I will definitely cut you off for the crime of deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors!" ”
"If you cut me, try it. Pets have learned to usurp power, and this is worth it. Li Rin said angrily, and by the way, he thought of the apprentice who was still sleeping at home, "Take care of your baby apprentice first, I've been depressed lately, like a dead mother, it's ridiculous, his master and I'm still alive and well." ”
"What's wrong with Da Zhuang? Recently, the steak he sent was obviously short of two pounds, and at first I thought he had no money to spend. ”
As long as Da Zhuang is mentioned, Aaron's rich associative abilities are transferred to steak, and nothing is more important than steak, at least it is so much.
"It was a tragedy caused by a letter, and he had been so listless ever since he read the contents. I guess there's something going on at home. The cozy man immediately let out the question that had been circling for a long time.
"Home?"
I'm sorry to say that Aaron, as a spirit animal, was born and raised, and for thousands of years, except for such an impulsive and nosy owner around him, there has been no other close creature, oh, there is a little rabbit on the moon who is known for her bad temper and is always entangled with herself, but she is too violent to skip it.
Therefore, whenever the word "home" is mentioned, it always feels weird, like a chicken talking to a duck.
"I guess it's okay, I'll teach him a little more cool magic, boy, it'll be okay to coax."
Aaron's brain raced and shrugged indifferently.
But the owner doesn't think so, why do you feel like your eyelids are jumping again?
Shaking his head, he put aside the distractions: "I'm going out tomorrow, I originally wanted to take you, but I don't feel at ease with Da Zhuang's appearance." You should teach him more ways to improve his fighting spirit at home, so that he can be more energetic. ”
"Don't worry. He respects his teachers very much. Aaron said in an old-fashioned manner.
Li Rin thought for a while, and added in Totoro's tone: "You should say that the speed of delivering steak is very fast." ”
