Chapter 107: A New Traveler
After John saw that his waiter Bill went to the back kitchen, he didn't care about him, glanced at the place where the strong man who had just entered the hotel was sitting, and there was a short distance from the three of them, so he said to Barron again: "Okay, don't worry about that stinky boy, let's continue to talk about what happened just now, the Golden Lion City has been building a hundred-foot-high tower, and it stopped for a short time for some reason some time ago, but it started to build again a few days ago." ”
"What's so strange about this, although the hundred-foot tower is quite tall, but there are such buildings in the Ending City, and there is more than one!" After hearing this, Suta interrupted John's words with a disdainful expression.
Barron knew that Suta was not lying, and the buildings in the city that were more than 100 feet tall, even if they were not counting the castles of the city lord's mansion, there were several, after all, it was the second largest city in the Nader Kingdom, and the degree of prosperity was not comparable to that of ordinary small cities.
"I've also been to Curtain City, of course I know the architecture of Curtain City, and the point I want to talk about is not here!" John was not happy when he heard Suta's words, but he looked at Barron and continued: "In fact, during this time, the Golden Lion City is the same as Yezi Town, whether it is the lion camp in Yezi Town or the [Mad Lion] Totini in Golden Lion City, they are constantly driving ordinary civilians and criminals, regardless of cost, consumption and manpower, constantly strengthening the fortifications of the city wall, exhausting, freezing to death every day, The number of people killed is not a small number, but do you know where these corpses went?"
"Shouldn't there be a special corpse collector who is responsible for collecting them, and then pulling them out of the city to bury them?" Although the Ending City is prosperous enough, there are no longer a few people who are frozen to death in the cold winter season every year, so although Suta has not seen it, he also roughly knows how to deal with these frozen people.
"The problem is here, according to my information, during this time, whether it is the corpses of Golden Lion City or Yezi Town, regardless of the cause of death, they have not been pulled outside the city to be buried, but have been collected by Harold's army, and then transported to the tower under construction!" John shuddered as he said this.
But John only paused for a moment, and continued: "Not only that, but some of the corpse collectors were even threatened by the Harold army in the mass graves outside the city, constantly digging up the graves of the corpses, whether it was rotting corpses or broken dry bones, they were collected by the Harold army and transported to the tower under construction. ”
"No, it's impossible, right!?" Suta was completely stunned at this time, although he was also a knight-level powerhouse who crawled out of the pile of dead.
Whether it was when the disaster in his hometown was rampant at the beginning, or when he later became a bandit and plundered everywhere, and after becoming a member of the security team, he had seen all kinds of dead people, and even more than 100 innocent and guilty people who died directly or indirectly at his hands.
But when Suta heard that someone was collecting corpses, Suta imagined hundreds, thousands, or even more corpses, densely stacked on top of each other, and it still gave him a cold feeling, as if the walls of the hotel suddenly cracked, causing a cold wind to blow in through the cracks.
Only when Barron heard the news, only a look of surprise flashed across his face, and then he fell into deep thought.
Tower-like buildings, Barron's first reaction is to resemble a mage tower, and as for the act of collecting corpses, in Barron's opinion, isn't it an act similar to that of a necromancer.
Although there is no mage in this world, but isn't there still a wizard, in this world, the wizard is even more mysterious than the mage, a more powerful existence, and Barron has also really fought with the wizard, powerful, mysterious, terrifying is the initial feeling that the wizard brought him, if it weren't for the help of the system upgrade, Barron doesn't know how many times he died.
Since one of Harold's men had already died at his hands, it was not impossible for a second wizard like the Necromancer to appear.
Just when the three of them were still thinking about the tall tower of the Golden Lion City, there was a "creak!", and the door of the hotel was pushed open for the third time today, it seems that today is John's lucky day, there are no travelers for a few days, and several people came at once today.
When Barron looked back at the new traveler, his pupils constricted.
The new traveler is not tall, only about 1.75 meters tall according to Barron's eye, in addition to a small crossbody bag, he is also wearing a wide hooded cloak, so that people can't see what he looks like for a while, but from the parts of his partially exposed body, it can still be seen that his figure is relatively thin.
What really made Barron care was that this person's thin hand was like a chicken's claw, but he held a wooden staff that was much taller than others, the wooden staff was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and there were more than a dozen small emeralds at the top, but although there were a lot of them, they were not as big as half the gems set in the life scepter in Barron's hand, but there was no doubt that the new traveler in front of him was a mysterious wizard like Arcadia who died in Barron's hands.
"Boss, I need accommodation!" When Barron was still observing the wizard who suddenly appeared in front of him, a hoarse and empty voice suddenly sounded: "In addition, I need some food supplements, no wine and mutton, anything else is fine!"
As soon as the new traveler finished speaking, there was a "ding!" when John saw a gold coin fall in front of him.
"Okay, no problem, I'll do it right away!" After John saw the gold coin, he glanced at Barron, and after seeing that Barron did not show a dissatisfied attitude, he went directly to the back kitchen.

After John left, the new travelers also came to the edge of the bar, and then sat down about three seats away from Barron, and then removed from his own
Barron secretly glanced sideways, and found that the other party had taken off the hat on his head for some time, the Mediterranean-like hairstyle, with deep sunken eye sockets and a tall hooked nose, plus a layer of dry skin, which made people not particularly comfortable at first glance, and soon Barron withdrew his gaze.
Although he doesn't know why there are wizards in Banluo Town, Barron feels that it is very likely that he has something to do with Arcadia that he killed, but he doesn't know if this relationship will affect Barron.
