Chapter 36: Adventures in the Outer City
Unlike the inner city, even at night, the outer part of Haven is quite lively. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Although there are no electric lights in this world, there are still many residents walking around the streets with the help of oil lamps. Most of the stores are still open, and there are people coming and going, and there is no posture of closing. Not to mention those sound and color places, even ordinary taverns can hear the sound of boiling people more than ten meters away.
However, the curfew of the church is only in the inner city. Due to the large area of the outer city, the implementation requires a lot of manpower. The church was reluctant to give up, so it simply let it develop.
Like the Foer family, most of their income is also supported by the entertainment industry in the outer city. There is such a broken relationship, and the night in the outer city is even more pious. Like those who prefer quiet, the faithful either become priests and enter the inner city, or gather in the blessed district of the outer city. It was a special area for the church, and although it was full, it was quieter than the inner city.
Except for the Divine Blessing District, the outer city has not deliberately divided other functional areas. The outer city is too big, and if there is a special entertainment area for residential areas, it will take a long time for residents to go out for recreation. For convenience, everything in the outer city is mixed up except for religion.
At this moment, Benjamin was walking on the main road west of the outer city.
He watched the people coming and going, and walked warily towards the place Jeremy had spoken of.
The complex topographical structure and the composition of the population have of course resulted in chaos of law and order, especially in the western part. The state has also invested a lot of manpower and material resources in security, but the end result is also very mediocre. Everyone's life is quite peaceful, but the folk customs will be more "tough".
Benjamin had a lot of things with him: pocket money he had saved up for a long time, a cross given to him by the bishop, and a gun he had stolen from Claude's study. In case a thief pickpockets and touches something for him, then where can he go up and cry.
He's going to have to be careful, very, very careful. At any moment, an inconspicuous imp will run out of the street and steal his belongings without realizing it.
As soon as Benjamin thought of this, not far away, a cowering child approached him.
Oh?
He felt like a god.
Look, isn't that coming.
Look at the little look of this rabbit cub's thief eyebrows and rat eyes, and he will definitely "accidentally" bump into himself later, fall and then run away. When the time comes, if you feel like you're in your pocket and touch your pocket, the valuable things will be gone long ago - that's how they are played on TV.
He's really a fat sheep who is easy to deceive? He's seen a lot of this routine.
Come on, hurt each other! I want to see if you dare to steal from Lao Tzu!
In this way, Benjamin raised his vigilance for one hundred and twenty years, and watched as the child slowly approached...... Got closer......
Ready to make a move?
"Psychotic, why do you keep staring at our children!"
Benjamin was stunned.
I saw that next to the child, there was a middle-aged woman with a big waist and a round waist. She quickly hugged the child and looked at Benjamin with a wary expression, as if she were watching a pervert who abducted and sold children.
“......”
Embarrassed.
He was so focused that he didn't notice that there was anyone next to him.
"Hahahaha-!" the system laughed in Benjamin's mind.
“...... I'm sorry. ”
Benjamin struggled to hold back his expressionless face and said this to the middle-aged woman.
"Neuropathy. The middle-aged woman held the child while moving away from Benjamin, and only said a few words from afar, "Good boy, don't be afraid, that person has mental problems, let's stay away......"
Benjamin felt like dying.
This is the evil consequence of too much brainstorming.
Thinking too much is a disease, and it must be cured.
Just as Benjamin was about to bang his head against the wall, suddenly, another dirty child rushed out of the street. As soon as the kid appeared, he rushed straight at Benjamin, and before Benjamin could react, he hit him head-on. And by the time Benjamin realized what was going on, the kid had already run away.
“......”
As soon as Benjamin reached in his pocket, the money he had brought to buy a gun was gone.
Male-Gobi.
The sound of the system laughing more happily came to my head.
Benjamin's anger came up all at once. He turned angrily and ran after the child. The passers-by on the street were so shocked by this back and forth that they all fell off, raised their heads, and watched the chase between the two blankly, and for a while the chickens flew and the dogs jumped.
"stop!" roared Benjamin.
This is half a year's pocket money he has saved. Although Benjamin saved it in the past, it was also his money!
The boy was evidently familiar with the road, and ignored Benjamin's shouts, and slipped into a path with a turn.
"Damn, that's how to run. ”
Benjamin immediately followed.
As he ran, he pulled out the gun pinned to his waist.
Anger didn't overwhelm him, but it made his mind spin faster: the imp was a veteran, a fast runner, and he knew the terrain better than he did, and his legs were still sore from the morning's training. If he chases it any further, he will definitely lose it.
If he really loses it, then where is he going to cry?
Thinking of this, Benjamin's heart was crossed.
Since he is a bear child, don't blame him for breaking the Law on the Protection of Minors!
After chasing another alley turnaround, he didn't dare to hesitate any longer, closed the insurance, raised the gun as he ran, and the shooting interface appeared in front of his eyes again.
He quickly aimed at the child's knee.
Shooting on the move, and shooting at moving targets, should be the most difficult training in the training of the gun camp. But for Benjamin, he has a shooting system, which he can easily do.
Bang!
He fired.
The child let out a scream, fell to the ground, struggled a few times, and could no longer get up and run away.
Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
My money was finally saved.
Soon, however, he was back on his edge.
At the corner of the alley, three strangely dressed people suddenly walked out. They were dressed in robes that resembled Michelle's, but without a hood covering their faces, and Benjamin could see it. It was three grown men, one old and one tall and one short, but they all had an eerie temperament.
They apparently heard the gunshots, looked strangely at the child who had fallen to the ground, then at Benjamin not far away, and stopped.
Benjamin's heart immediately swelled up with a bad premonition.
If he's not mistaken, the robe seems to be very similar to Michelle's mage robe?
Isn't it, you can meet a mage in the royal capital if you run around? What kind of luck is this? Uncle Bishop, you can't carry out the work of eliminating pornography and fighting illegal activities!
Benjamin wasn't glad that he might be a mage, thinking that maybe he could exchange magical experiences. On the contrary, he did not feel the kindness of these three people. His instincts told him that they weren't good people.
And, more importantly, in the course of the chase, he seems to have come to an unknown place. In a dark and narrow alley, the dim moonlight seemed to be more and more deserted, and there was not a single passerby around.
Now it's off......
"It's none of your business, this kid is a thief, he stole my money. I just want my money back. Thinking about it, he shouted at the three men.
He still didn't want to get in trouble.
The three exchanged glances, and suddenly, the oldest man spoke:
"He saw who we were. We can't let the two of them get in our way, kill them all. ”
Benjamin's heart sank.
Just as he was thinking quickly about how to deal with this scene, suddenly, a voice came from behind him:
"It's the Fallen, get on it, can't let them run!"
I saw a couple dressed as civilians suddenly rush out of the alley behind Benjamin and go straight to the three of them. The swiftness of the movements surprised everyone else present.
Benjamin was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted:
This is the person sent by the church to watch him, but in disguise.
That's right, what is he panicking, the people in the church have been there all the time!
If you look closely, the "woman" in the couple is still a man wearing a wig and a skirt. I saw that he threw away his wig, and with one hand, he fished out two long swords from under the puffed skirt. He threw a long sword at his "husband", and with the other in his hand, he stepped on his high heels, and was about to slash at the three men.
Benjamin was dumbfounded.
Awesome my sister, oh no, my brother?
Among the three, the young two seemed to be shocked by this scene, and they opened their mouths wide and didn't have time to react. Only the eldest one's expression changed, and he recited the incantation without hesitation.
Benjamin suddenly felt the water elemental move.
I saw a layer of pale blue blisters, enveloping the three of them.
"Water barrier!" Benjamin said silently in his mind.
Two knights in disguise quickly rushed in front of the three and slashed with their swords, the blades of which came into contact with the blisters. I saw a burst of holy light shining on the long sword, and the blisters trembled violently. However, the blister eventually blocked the blow and did not burst.
More than two knights, even Benjamin was taken aback.
Such a powerful water barrier?
If Benjamin was not mistaken, those two swords were blessed. Even if they appear in the form of flirtatious swords, they will not diminish their sharpness in the slightest. However, this thin layer of water barrier was able to withstand the attacks of two swords at the same time, which was really amazing.
He couldn't help but wonder, when will he have such strength?
On the other side, the older mage also let out a sneer when he saw the blisters blocking the attack.
"Just two paladins. If you wear the armor of the Holy Light, you might be able to save your life, but now......"
As he spoke, he patted the other two on the shoulder.
The two people were reminded of this, and they immediately reacted from their stunned thoughts, and each recited a spell, preparing to launch a magic.
I saw a fireball and a wind blade, forming in their hands, and launched them towards the two knights.
The knights did not panic. In the face of the attack of magic, the two of them moved in unison, both jumping backwards and slashing one after another, and the long sword shining with holy light split the fireball and wind blade.
Seeing this, the face of the elder mage, who was still triumphant just now, suddenly darkened.
"Are you stupid?Why do you want to fight separately?Concentrate on one person!They can't split two magic spells with one sword?!Where have you forgotten what I taught you?" He didn't seem to be surprised by the knight's skill, but was so angry with the other two fools that he couldn't help but reprimand.
As he spoke, the knight rushed forward, one man and one sword, and finally broke the blister.
It is a pity that the elder mage did not let his guard down at the same time as he spoke. Before the knight could make a second slash, he immediately added another water barrier to keep out the knights who tried to continue the attack.
Benjamin was a little impressed. This person is so strong, not only has a high level of magic, but also has a lot of combat experience, and in the face of two paladins, he also looks like he is at ease. The timing of the release of the water barrier was simply seamless.
Where did such a powerful mage come from?
For some reason, Benjamin smelled a smell from the organization that ordinary wild mages wouldn't have.
While Benjamin was amazed, this time, the two young mages reacted a lot faster. They immediately began casting spells, and another fireball and a wind blade took shape.
Interestingly, they invariably chose the "wife" as their target for the fire.
Maybe they all think this outfit is a bit spicy, and they want to solve it quickly.
However, the "wife" was unusually athletic, and it was a backward jump and horizontal split, and the oncoming fireball and wind blade were all extinguished. The "husband" took advantage of this opportunity and launched a frantic offensive against the blister.
“......”
The older mage's face darkened.
"I'm so angry! How can anyone concentrate their firepower so much? Won't you attack from two angles? One of you is in front and the other is behind, can he block it with a sword? I haven't taught you? Are you stupid? Before their sword slashed at me, I was by you!"
The two were scolded a little confused. The shorter one hesitated for a moment, and spoke weakly:
"But Teacher, how do you control magic to attack from two angles? We won't. ”
“......”
Fortunately, the knight cut the blister again and resolved the embarrassment in time.
The older mage also had to cast a spell to patch up the water barrier, so he didn't faint with anger.
Even Benjamin, who was a bystander, felt tired for them.
What a fight, the strong collision between the mage and the paladin, why did it become like this?
It's not just the older mages who are suffering, obviously, the knights aren't in a good mood either. When the blister appeared for the third time, an emotion flashed in their eyes. Especially the one who was still wearing a skirt and stepping on high heels, Benjamin felt as if tears were flashing under his thick eyeshadow.
The world is hard......
In order to make a living, even the paladins have fought so hard these days.
