Meanwhile, in front of the main gate of the inner city of Tridis, the atmosphere of stalemate has been going on for several hours. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Three rows of heavily armed armored soldiers firmly blocked the city gates, and no one was allowed to enter or leave without permission, and this group of soldiers was the elite guards directly under the command of the city lord of Tridis, and the equipment and weapons on their bodies were far from being comparable to the permanent guards, and the restrained fighting spirit on their bodies also showed their own extraordinary strength. On normal days, this special forces army, known as the strongest in Tridis, would not appear in people's eyes at all, but at this time, all three inner city gates were guarded like iron cans, so even the most stupid people knew that something big must have happened in the inner city.

"Lieutenant Delius, it's already nine o'clock in the evening, even if there is martial law in the inner city, it should be appropriately relaxed to enter the city, right?"

At the gates of the city, the equally heavily armed Knight of the Sword of Judgment, Captain Goristan first swept the chaotic crowd behind him with his gaze, and then spoke to the tall officer who was blocking the middle of the gate.

Leaving aside the nobles who had no home to return, Gollistan himself had the task of going into the inner city and reporting the results of the afternoon slave market case. But when she came to the city gate at six o'clock, she found that the whole inner city had been under martial law, and she had been waiting until nine o'clock, the sun had already set, and the night had completely fallen, and this martial law had not yet been lifted in the slightest, so she could not help but be in a hurry.

"Soldier, please stand back!"

In the armor, Lieutenant Delius's deep voice was emotionless: "This is a martial law decree issued directly by the lord of Einz - I repeat again, no one can enter or exit this gate until a new order is received, and those who disobey will be killed." ”

"But ......"

"No, soldier!"

Derlius drew the rune sword at his waist, exuding a faint high-level fighting aura as a warning.

Although she really had to fight against each other, Goristan might not be afraid of this unreasonable lieutenant, but since it was a death order from above, she had to frown and take two steps back after all.

Through the towering and mottled inner walls, Goristan always felt that the atmosphere on the other side of the wall was strangely quiet, and the voice of the long-established lieutenant in front of him was unusually low compared to the past. A faint uneasiness had been lingering in her for a long time, but she had suppressed the urge to go in and find out—as a qualified adjudicator, she knew exactly what she should and shouldn't do.

At this moment, neat footsteps gradually sounded behind the city gate, and the thick iron curtain opened the narrow gap, and another group of heavily armed soldiers stepped out in a procession.

"Lieutenant Delius, it's time for a shift. ”

The lead officer approached and spoke.

Lieutenant Delius, who had been standing there for hours, finally moved, waved his hand at the soldiers guarding the gates behind him, and quickly completed the handover to the new team. Of course, the sight of such a scene by the nobles waiting to enter the streets and the servants living in the inner city caused a wave of discontent boos and commotion - not even the fact that such a thing as a succession of shifts was made, did not it show that the end of martial law was still far away?

If it was an ordinary soldier defending the city, many powerful nobles would not take them seriously at all, anyway, even if they forcibly broke in, the other party would not dare to do anything to them. But it's a pity that all the guards guarding the city gate at this time are the guards of the city lord's mansion, or the caretaker force of Tridis City, if they dare to force their way in under their guard, it will be tantamount to slapping the city lord of Einz twice, so even if the crowd is excited, no one will be stupid enough to really do it.

As a result, many nobles have already planned to give up waiting and live directly in the outer city for a night. And as more and more people left the city gate, the originally bustling inner city gate gradually became quieter.

But it just so happened that Gollistan knew the officer who had come to change shifts.

"Second Lieutenant Hiro, can you tell me what's going on in the inner city?"

Goristan hurriedly stepped forward and asked, and the bearded officer in front of him was obviously much better talking than the previous lieutenant Delius, and he gave Goristan a knightly salute of the same rank, and then shook his head helplessly.

"I'm sorry, I can't go into details, but we already know about the riots that took place in the underworld this afternoon, and there may be a connection between the two. ”

"I see!"

Gollistan had long felt that the rebellion in the slave market would not be so simple, and where could high-ranking tribal commanders be so easily mixed into the slave ranks, so she had long guessed that this incident was likely to be related to the emergency ban in the inner city, and at this time, she was affirmed by Ensign Hiro, and the doubts in her heart were naturally solved.

"Let's hope everything goes well, it's not too early, and I plan to submit my report tomorrow, when martial law may be over." ”

Seeing fewer and fewer waiters around her and the moon hanging high in the sky, Goristan said, she finally didn't plan to wait any longer: if it was any later, even if martial law ended, the Justice Department in the inner city would have already left work, and it would be in vain to go.

"Please. ”

――――Dividing Line――――

“...... Therefore, after learning from the experience of countless failures, those death mages are all insidious. If it weren't for the ghosts inside, plus you stepped on the in the morning and found the clues in advance, by the time Lao Tzu reacted, these monsters would have already rushed out of the inner city, and the loss at that time would have been too great, and the city of Tridis would have been almost half destroyed if it was not destroyed. ”

Stepping on the floor of the hall that had been cleaned up, Donald was gushing to Su Wen about the process of this undead scourge...... Well, of course he and Su Wen didn't leave the scene, if Nikolai, who had a black face, left obediently without saying a word, then he Donald wouldn't be called Donald.

"Do you think they planned the rebellion in the slave market just to cause a riot? In fact, the main thing is to give a good excuse for martial law in the inner city, and those clever nobles will soon go along with it, and then settle down. And stealing babies disguised as human trafficking cases is also to block traffic outside the city, and if I'm not mistaken, the convoy outside the city gate is still lined up until this time - unless it's an important case of human life, the little girls of the sword of judgment won't work so hard. ”

"In this way, the whole city of Tridis is perfectly divided into three pieces. The soldiers blocking the gates of the inner city have long been controlled by the death mages, and they will abide by their duties no matter what happens, so they can not only swagger to carry out assassinations, but also let the monsters feast in peace, and finally rush out of the city gates after receiving sufficient supplies and reinforcements, and take advantage of the night to slaughter the city, and that's it. ”

Su Wen shook his head.

"It's terrifying, but as you said, even if the outer city was not affected in the end, the inner city would have been almost killed by this time. ”

"It's not much better, but Tridis' bureaucracy is so bloated that it's not a big deal to die. ”

"Hey, why don't you ......?"

"Pretty good chance, isn't it, the toxins that have been accumulated for more than two hundred years, and Trides City is in need of a big firework-huh? ”

As soon as Donald's words fell, Su Wen immediately felt the ground tremble lightly under his feet, and after a while, a dull loud noise came through the heavy rock, echoing in the hall like muffled thunder.

But that was just the beginning, and soon the strings of explosions were heard again, and even the load-bearing stone pillars in the hall began to crumble......

"Who did this, is it crazy!"

Su Wen covered his ears and stared at Donald with his eyes.

"Ahem, don't look at me, I really didn't tell me to do it - it's not like you don't know that I've always been in the outer city, and I've never been in the inner city at any time. Donald quickly cleared his suspicions, as if he didn't even expect this explosion to come by such a coincidence, "But nine times out of ten, it was the order of the old immortal lord of Einz, if he knew that there was almost an undead disaster in his city, he would be finished, so he had to throw the pot to the group of orcs in the east." Well, the script of being assassinated by the orc saboteurs who infiltrated the inner city, and who detonated the pre-hidden magic scroll of destruction when they were cornered, causing a lot of casualties, is pretty good. It's not been a year or two since that group of greenskins focused on terrorists, and if they can carry this cauldron, they may not die and refuse to admit it. ”

“......”

Su Wen suddenly felt that there was no kind and good person around him, what was the matter?

But if you think about it carefully, being attacked by orcs is really not the same level of event as almost happening with the undead disaster: a wronged debtor has a master, which happens from time to time in various cities on the mainland, at most it deepens the hatred between humans and orcs, and the undead disaster is a dereliction of duty on the part of the city lord anyway, and at the same time, the panic and psychological blow caused to the civilians are probably more than ten times greater, and even the future development of Tridis City- Whether it is economic trade, or fame in the Duolun Empire, it will have far-reaching negative effects.

So, now that disaster has already happened, sometimes deception doesn't necessarily make things worse.

After a long time, the shock from the explosion finally subsided......

"Haven't you found something you like? You've been picking for almost half an hour. ”

Seeing that the originally heavy plasma in the hall had been scavenged by the necromancers, and they even began to lead the undead servants to sweep up the inscriptions of the heavenly vault, and Su Wen was still circling around among the corpses of the monsters, Donald finally became a little impatient.

"All of them are disgusting, and I really don't want any of them if I could. ”

"You mean you want to be a half-disabled necromancer, and you don't have to have summoned creatures, but if you don't have a demon as a necromancer, you would be embarrassed to say it, even if you don't talk about it, even if you have a slime, it's much better than nothing. With that, Donald really picked up a ball of slimy liquid from the ground and threw it into Su Wen's arms.

Su Wen's face did not change, and he grabbed the slime's corpse and smashed it in Donald's face.

The latter smiled and easily caught it, then threw it back into his arms. After throwing it back and forth three times, Suven found that his upper body was almost soaked with the slime flowing from the slime's corpse, and Donald was still calm and calm, not even a drop of water was touched, so he stopped playing.

"Forget it, that's it. ”

Finding that he had the upper hand, Su Wen decisively stopped resisting.

Anyway, it is not at the level of a high-level necromancer, there is no way to open a spatial passage between Su Wen and the summoned creatures, so he cannot summon them to fight for himself, and it is impossible for him to bring the monster to St. Peter's Academy, and before that, he will definitely have to hand it over to his necromancer Nikolai to raise. And because of this, no matter what kind of monster he chooses, it will not substantially improve Su Wen, and its significance is only to establish a soul contract with Su Wen, and use it to improve his understanding of undead magic and learning speed - as for the strength of the monster itself, it is something that only high-level necromancers and above need to seriously consider.

In other words, unless Su Wen's strength reached a high level, it would make no difference if he chose any monster as an envoy. After all, he was a part-time necromancer, and he didn't expect to be so strong.

But......

Just when Su Wen made up his mind, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering the epic side quest: 'Slime's Secret' Ring 1: The Humble Slime. Description: You decide to use this humble monster as your own demon, but you quickly become confused. Why does it appear in the army of monsters, which is not very strong? Is it just to increase the experience points of the brave? I'm afraid it's not that simple...... Now, get up close and uncover the secrets of this slime, and you may find unexpected surprises. Behind it may be a shocking conspiracy, as well as a huge reward. Reward: 150 points, 50 days. ”

Su Wen opened his mouth, almost letting go and dropping the limp corpse to the ground, not even having the strength to complain.

After a long time, he immediately understood that if there was really any secret in the slime that appeared in the monster army, there was a high chance that it would be related to the King of the Undead, and it was definitely not a field that he could meddle in now!

"-This quest is an epic side quest with the ability and uniqueness to change the direction of the history of the Glorious Continent, and if the host makes an unwise choice without authorization, resulting in the failure of the quest and the expiration of the quest, the obliteration order will be executed. If the host abandons the task, it will be treated in the same way as if the task failed. ”

Like a thunderbolt, Su Wen almost jumped.

"System, I'll throw your nut!"

――――Dividing Line――――

In the void space, all sides were empty, but there was a strange aura.

With a vague gasping sound, the petite Blood Clan girl wore her blond hair, her body curled up like a shrimp, and kept spasming slightly. Her lower abdomen bulged slightly, her whole body was tightly bound by delicate ropes, and a hollowed-out metal ball was stuffed between her vermilion lips. Although the Gothic robe on her body was not damaged in any way, from her somewhat dilated pupils, you could see how much she had been wronged.

"How's it going, do you feel comfortable?"

The old man in the bright red robe, whose face was full of divine light, smiled and came to the girl, leaned over to him and said cordially.

The Blood Clan's body trembled, and her sloppy eyes condensed, and endless hatred and fear were born.

"You ...... You devil!"

She suddenly struggled violently.

The rope that wound around her body seemed to be strong, but the bundle broke in an instant, and the metal ball in her mouth was also bitten by the silver fangs—the things that bound the girl were actually able to break free without any effort.

"It's really naughty, how can you move around?"

The old man smiled kindly, then took out the new rope and metal ball, and threw it in front of the blood girl: "Bring it yourself, otherwise you will enjoy more exciting tricks." ”

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers, and a group of muscular men appeared around him.

Most importantly, they were all undressed.

"This is the secret art of the West, no less than the previous Arikabao Demon King. Well, as with the previous rules, their performances will never go away until you become good again. Don't worry - we have a lot of time, and I'll have a way to keep this field from shattering for at least 100 years, and I promise it's going to be more and more exciting, so you can look forward to it. ”

Hearing this, fear gradually overcame anger in the eyes of the blood girl.

Even now, these illusory images were a hundred times more terrifying than the ugliest things he could imagine in the world, and she really couldn't imagine what the "more exciting" in the old man's mouth would be. Moreover, in the realm of this red-clothed demon, closing her sense of sight and hearing had no effect at all, and she could only feel the intense abnormalities of her body while being tormented by these visions......

For the first time, she felt a deep powerlessness at the power of her bloodline, which she had previously thought was invulnerable, and at the same time, she felt unprecedented despair: how did this red-robed demon get the favor of the goddess of light?

And at this moment, there was a sudden abnormal fluctuation in the domain space......

"Uncle Donald, are you doing something disgusting again?"

A sound as a wind chime!

The Blood Clan girl opened her eyes and saw a young but expressionless blue-haired girl, and the girl's immature face, the pair of eyes that seemed to see through everything. The red-robed old man's face changed suddenly, he quickly snapped his fingers, and in just an instant, whether it was those strong men in the void who were dancing like demons, or the strange props in front of the blood girl, they all disappeared without a trace.

"Snow ...... Shirley, how did you get here!"

The old man hurriedly said.

The blue-haired girl, known as Shirley, did not answer the question of the red-robed old man, and she walked straight towards the Blood Clan girl who had collapsed to the ground, and then helped her up.

Looking at this elf-like blue-haired girl, the blood girl's somewhat dilated pupils finally converged a little, and this feeling of seeing light in despair made her eyes seem to have tears flowing.

The Blood Girl opened her mouth, unable to utter any words, and she let the blue-haired girl pick her up, feeling a rare softness and warmth.

"Give her to me. ”

The blue-haired girl raised her head and said to the red-robed old man with an expressionless face.

"How is that possible...... Shirley, this is very dangerous......"

Shirley interrupted the old man in the red robe in a cold voice: "If you talk about danger, aren't you, my cousin, even more dangerous? Don't you know what you have done to this poor girl? Do you need me to show the world your ugliness, you old and immortal perversion." ”

The red-robed old man was a little embarrassed, but his face was still resolute: "No matter what, absolutely not! This is a dangerous creature with the same bloodline as the dragon, if you take it out, then won't we all have to wait for revenge? ”

Hearing this, the blood girl in Shirley's arms trembled, obviously frightened.

Then she heard the last voice she wanted to hear.

"yes, you'll do that, right?"

The girl's blue hair hung down on her face, and the fragrance was very good, but her face was full of doubt, and she looked at herself with distrust.

"No...... Absolutely not!"

The Bloodline Girl hurriedly denied it, her voice hoarse and crying.

"Oh yes, then please swear a demon oath, my cousin is a heinous bastard, but if he dies so simply, I will be troubled. ”

"Okay!"

Seeing the hope, the blood girl didn't think about it at all, so she agreed to this "angelic" girl's small request with tears in her eyes.

Finally, the red-robed old man in the distance had an ugly face, but he smiled very inconspicuously......
