Chapter 31: Together We Are!
"Y-What did you say?"
Rocky's words stunned Lilia!
And after a while, she rushed to Rocky: "No! Rocky, don't have this kind of thought, don't go to the idea of fighting demons!"
Rocky had actually expected Lilia's reaction, so he sighed helplessly, and at the same time looked at her and asked, "Do we have any other way than to hit the devil with the idea?"
His rhetorical question was full of helplessness, but it also left Lilia speechless.
As Lilia said before, Thunder Eagle City is facing a big difficulty, winter is coming, but the city has no reserves of food for the winter, and the Azure Chamber of Commerce has raised the transaction price at this time, so that Thunder Eagle City has no money to buy enough food.
How to get through this difficulty?
This is a headache for everyone in the past month, Lilia is worried about this time, Erin is also worried about this matter, but all of them together, there is no Rocky urgency, because Thunderhawk City is his!
If something happens to this city, won't Rocky, the city lord, be finished, so he is the most anxious person.
Therefore, don't look at Rocky who stays in the research room every day and fiddles with runes, but every night, when everyone in the city is asleep, he is thinking about how to make Thunder Eagle City survive this winter, and how to make the residents of the city have food to eat during the winter.
Eventually, he came up with a solution, and that was to hunt demons!
After such a long time of familiarity, Rocky has long been extremely familiar with the world he is in, so he clearly knows one thing, that is, in this world, demons are not only enemies of everyone, but also a resource!
Demons are valuable!
Since the demon conquered the land, people have found that although this monster from the heterogeneous plane is terrifying, it is also full of treasures!
The demon's skin is as hard as steel, but soft as cloth, making it an excellent material for soft armor.
Demon blood is an excellent magic material and can even be used to strengthen the Philosopher's Stone.
And the most valuable thing on the demon is the magic core, the magic core is equivalent to the heart of the demon, and the power contained in it far exceeds the magic stone, it is an extremely valuable treasure, and I heard that some people have been studying the magic core, and want to find the demon's weakness by studying the secret of the magic core.
All in all, demons are treasures, so whether it is an official represented by various Sky Cities, or an individual with the purpose of making money, many people are hunting demons all year round, and even a new profession was born as a result, that is, demon hunters.
And the solution that Rocky came up with was to hunt demons.
As long as he can successfully kill a demon, he can easily sell it for nearly 10,000 gold coins!
This price is not exaggerated at all, because don't look at the demons everywhere, but unless the regular army is dispatched to carry out large-scale hunting, it is too difficult and difficult to kill a demon by one's own strength, so the price is extremely high.
This is the reason why Rocky drove Thunder Eagle City to the Sleepless God City, because it is the largest trading city in the sky, as long as he has a demon in his hand, he will not worry about not being able to sell it when he arrives in the Nightless God City, and he will not worry about not being able to sell it at a high price.
At the same time, this is also the reason why he strengthens the air demon armor day and night, if he wants to hunt demons, he must take action personally, because only the air demon armor can fight against demons, but Rocky knows that his strength is too mediocre, and his air demon armor is too old, so it must be strengthened with runes, so that he can succeed!
And now, the enhancement of the Sky Demon Battle Armor has been completed, so his next plan is to return to the land, hunt the demons, and then sell the demons, so that the difficulties of Thunder Eagle City will naturally be over.
In Rocky's opinion, this is the only way to save Thunder Eagle City!
"No! you can't go!"
However, Lilia firmly disagreed with his idea.
"Rocky, last time you saw the horror of demons, they are terrible monsters that only the army can contend with, and they are not at all something you can deal with. ”
At this time, Lilia showed unprecedented excitement, because in her opinion, Rocky's idea was simply suicide! She could rely on Rocky, she could support Rocky unconditionally, but she would never watch Rocky go to death, this was Lilia's bottom line, so she resolutely disagreed with Rocky's method.
"Lilia, this is the only way to save Thunder Eagle City, I ......"
"Even if this city is destroyed, I want you to live!"
Standing in front of Rocky, staring into his eyes, Lilia said resolutely!
Her words made Rocky stunned, he looked at Lilia's eyes in disbelief, and what he saw in her eyes was all determination, which made Rocky know that Lilia didn't lie to herself, and she would rather die in Thunder Eagle City than let something happen to herself......
So, Rocky smiled, smiled and put his hands on Lilia's shoulders, and then said, "Thunderhawk City will not be destroyed, and I will not die." ”
"Because I didn't plan to hunt demons alone, that's why are you in such a hurry? ”
"You don't have to lie to me!" glaring at Rocky, Lilia ignored his words, "Don't forget that I am the captain of the guards of Thunderhawk City, and the guards and float ships in the city will not help you at all in this matter, they are vulnerable to demons." ”
"I didn't say let them help. ”
Shaking his head at Lilia, Rocky became serious: "I want you to go with me, the two of us, to hunt demons together!"
"Me?"
Hearing this, Lilia was stunned, she looked at Rocky blankly, and looked at it for a while before she smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry...... I can't help you this time......"
"I ...... It's too weak......"
Looking at Rocky, Lilia's voice was full of bitterness: "Unless you reach the strength of a fifth-level warrior, you can't even withstand a blow in front of the lowest-level demon, but I only have a third-level strength, and this kind of strength can't even help you buy some time when you encounter a demon, I'm sorry......"
When she said this, Lilia felt extremely uncomfortable, why didn't she want to help Rocky, but as she said, even if she just wanted to walk in front of the lowest-level demons, she had to reach at least the strength of a fifth-level warrior!
This is the experience summed up by many people with their lives, but she is only level three.
"No, you can, and only you. ”
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Rocky shook his head, and then reminded with a smile: "Lilia, have you forgotten what I found from the institute? I didn't just find research notes and a few Philosopher's Stones, I also found several rune equipment!"
"Those rune equipment are all made by Wensel himself, and as long as you wear rune equipment, the two of us will definitely be able to hunt demons together!"
