Chapter 117: The Cursed
As the saying goes, once raw and twice cooked, with the first experience, Li Muran's landing this time was very smooth, and he returned to the Green Forest Continent very smoothly, without smashing down like a meteorite. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
He sensed Lao Huang's location for the first time after landing and found that the distance seemed to be quite far, but he couldn't tell how far it was, because it was the first time he used this method to locate Lao Huang.
Fortunately, his landing point this time was not bad, he did not fall into the depths of the primeval jungle like the first time, just when he landed, Li Muran found a small city not far away, so after identifying the direction, he thought about the direction of the small city and rushed away, ready to find someone to ask his location first.
More than ten minutes later, the walls of the small city appeared in front of Li Muran's eyes, the walls on this planet are ridiculously high, even the walls of such a small city are more than ten meters high, and there are soldiers with bright armor patrolling them from time to time.
Li Muran was naturally too lazy to go to the city gate, and besides, the city gate must not have been opened in the middle of the night, so he easily climbed over the wall and entered the city by taking advantage of the night, and the soldiers patrolling the city wall only felt that a gust of wind suddenly blew behind him, but when he turned back, he didn't find anything.
After entering the city, he found that the architectural style of the city was very different from that of the Great Chu and Mangyan Empires, and many of the buildings here had high spires, which looked a bit like the Gothic style on earth.
Because it was night, Li Muran wandered around the city for a while and didn't find half of the people who could ask questions, and in impatience, he simply knocked out a group of soldiers patrolling in the city, and then asked for the information he wanted from a person who looked like a captain.
To Li Muran's surprise, this small city called Annan City turned out to be a small city in the Holy United Kingdom, which means that he had arrived at his destination in front of the mission.
This made him a little puzzled, Li Muran felt that he had not been on the satellite for long, how could he have crossed such a long distance all of a sudden, and the remaining four months of the mission had been completed in just a few dozen minutes.
He couldn't help but complain to himself in his heart, his ability can still be used to travel, but this destination is really difficult to control.
However, in this way, Li Muran is not ready to go back to Lao Huang and them, although at his speed, it will not take a few days to travel alone, but Li Muran feels that he does not need to take this unjust road.
After all, now that Lao Huang has completely surrendered to him, there is such an imperial beast in the mission, even if he is not in the mission, it doesn't matter, after all, the mission that participated in the Tianjiao Conference in the past is just a strong man in the God of War Realm.
In fact, what he really cared about was not the mission, but Vivian, who was still in the mission, if it weren't for Lao Huang being there, who could ensure Vivian's safety, he would definitely rush back.
As for now, he just needs to wait for them to arrive here, just now Li Muran has made it clear that Annan City is the only place to go to Xingle City, the capital of the Holy United Kingdom.
Of course, if he is bored of waiting, he can also set off for Xingle City by himself first, it just so happens that he was also bored in the mission before, and it is good to walk around now.
But the first thing Li Muran has to do now is to find a set of clothes, the clothes on his body before have long been burned clean in the friction with the atmosphere, and now he has a biological battle armor, otherwise he would already be in Guoben.
This problem is easy to solve, he found a big family in the city and even solved the problem of no money on his body, this kind of thing was not done less when he was on earth before, and then he didn't bother to look for an inn, so he found a room in that family that no one lived in for the night.
Sleep is already a dispensable thing for Li Muran now, but as a way to relax, he still enjoys it very much, plus his nine-yuan recipe does not need to practice hard day and night, so as long as there is nothing important, he will still sleep every day, and he will sleep lazy.
For example, this time he slept until three o'clock in the morning, and then Shi Shiran left the house, but the people in this family had no idea that such an uninvited guest had come.
After leaving that family, Li Muran walked in Annan City, always feeling that something was wrong with the city, but he never saw what was wrong.
It wasn't until he happened to hear an imposing foreign merchant accidentally bump into a passing local vendor and say sorry to the vendor that he realized that something was wrong.
That is, these foreign merchants are often very polite and polite when facing the local residents, even if their strength is much stronger than these ordinary residents.
This is completely different from the scene Li Muran saw in Huxuan City, those foreign businessmen in Huxuan City are not polite to those ordinary residents in the city at all, they are often called and drunk, and some are short-tempered and even beat people, but as long as they don't make a good fight, the official people basically don't care.
This reminded him of some information about the Holy United Kingdom, there are seven great powers on the continent, and the Holy United Kingdom is the well-deserved boss of them, and in the Hundred Years War for the super large Void Ship, it repelled the siege of three countries with the strength of one country, so it is not surprising that its people can have such treatment.
"Go to the Pastor's Square, Your Excellency the Archon is going to put the cursed one to death!" Suddenly, a slightly excited shout interrupted Li Muran's train of thought, and he looked around, only to see that the originally lively street suddenly became a little deserted.
A large group of people walked towards the center of the city, even those who were doing business quickly closed their shops and closed their stalls, and then quickly caught up with the crowd, and even those foreign merchants followed with great interest in the direction of the city center.
This unusual situation immediately aroused Li Muran's curiosity, so he also walked in the direction where the crowd disappeared, wanting to see what was so appealing about the execution of a cursed person.
Along the way, he also heard a little bit of the way from the discussion of the crowd, the so-called cursed person was caught half a month ago, and then interrogated for more than a month, and after confirming that he had no accomplices, the consul of Annan City decided to put him to death today.
As for the reason why they are so interested, it is because the execution method of the cursed is more special, not directly beheading them, but burning people alive with fire, saying that they are purifying.
This is a more cruel way of execution, but for these people, it is a very good "entertainment", after all, the scene of burning the living is still relatively rare, and the burning of the cursed who deserves to die is even more pleasant.
However, Li Muran was not interested in this kind of "ignorant and barbaric" performance, but he was a little curious about the so-called cursed people in their mouths, so he still patiently followed the crowd to an empty square.
At this time, the square was already surrounded by a crowd of onlookers, but Li Muran's height was still very advantageous on the entire planet, so his vision was not disturbed too much, and he could clearly see the execution table in the middle of the square.
In order to allow most people to see what was going on at the time of the execution, the entire execution table was about three meters high, and it looked like it was made of metal, with a thigh-thick pillar erected in the middle, and a ragged and scarred person was being tied to it.
The man was covered with a black cloth bag, and he couldn't see his age clearly, but judging from his figure and exposed skin, he should be a young man, and Li Muran couldn't see any difference between this cursed person and ordinary people.
There were some soldiers around the execution platform to form a human wall, blocking the onlookers from twenty meters away from the execution platform, and on a high platform in front of it, a middle-aged man in a white robe was standing on it with a serious face reading something.
However, the man didn't use any language that Li Muran understood, so he didn't know what the other party was talking about, and he couldn't help but feel a little impatient in his heart, but fortunately, the person only read it for less than ten minutes before it was over.
Then I saw the man wave his hand and shout, "Purification begins!" ”
The soldier waiting on the side of the execution table hurriedly moved the firewood that had been prepared to the bottom of the execution table, as if he was about to roast the man alive, and the person tied to the execution table also knew what kind of situation he would face next, so he wriggled his body on it and struggled frantically.
At this time, a little boy beside Li Muran who was held in his father's arms suddenly looked at his hair, then looked at his eyes, and then exclaimed with a look of horror: "Dad! Father! There are demons here, too! ”
As the boy exclaimed, the black cloth bag on the cursed man's head was tossed off by his frantic struggle, revealing his jet-black hair and eyes that were as black as the night sky.
