Chapter 20: The Lonely City and the Mercenaries
"No wonder all the people I met were walking together. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Evan looked around vigilantly, and without the help of the black worm, he would even rush straight into the place where the monsters gathered.
In order to avoid too dangerous places, his route is constantly changing.
Even so, there were dozens of monsters that died in his hands.
"With the energy I have stored now, how many doors can be opened. Evan asked.
"Two, but I wouldn't recommend you open the door in this place. The book replied, "I can't guarantee your safety. ”
Looking at the moving herd, Aven carefully chose his next route, he knew that the book was right, with his current strength, even if he crashed into the smallest herd, it would be extremely dangerous.
After about a day, Aven finally arrived at his destination, which was a large, walled town, unlike the previous town. The walls were full of people, and outside the city were ruined, crumbling dwellings, and bones of all kinds.
"It's tragic. Evan sighed and walked into the city.
Unexpectedly, in such a tragic situation, the city was extremely lively, and people of different costumes surrounded the city one circle after another in the square, lit bonfires, played rough or beautiful ballads with their own instruments, ate meat in large pieces, drank wine, and indulged in singing and dancing in the center of the circle.
Ai Wen could see at a glance that these were mercenaries, people who exchanged their lives for wealth, and among them, few of them could get out of this industry healthily after obtaining enough wealth, so the mercenaries who didn't know if they could see the sun the next day were the biggest supporters of the spirit of timely fun.
On the contrary, almost all the citizens, except for the operators of the service industry, are worried.
Evan wasn't interested in finding out what was going on here, the only thing he had to do was to find a place to live as quickly as possible and free the other two rooms, but someone stopped him.
"Honorable Light Envoy, you seem to have walked into the city alone?" a middle-aged man in armor and beard eagerly rushed over, "I forgot to introduce myself, I am the captain of the city defense here, and I am recruiting strong men for the city lord." ”
"You misunderstood, I'm just a recent graduate Ray Emissary, not a powerhouse as you call me. Evan bowed to him, he didn't want to get into any trouble pointlessly.
"And how did you get here alone through herd after herd?" the captain looked puzzled.
"It must be the protection of the God of Light. "As a believer in the God of Light, Aven's words are impeccable.
"Then bother. The captain left disappointed.
Since you need a room that can enter the inner world, the dormitory of the Church of Light is not good, and after entering the inner world, it is likely that you will unintentionally release black magic power, which is too obvious in the Church of Light.
So, Ai Wen had no choice but to take off the robe of the light envoy and enter the hotel, but unfortunately, probably because of too many mercenaries, Ai Wen did not find an empty room.
In the end, Ai Wen, who had traveled through various hotels, finally thought of a way, he directly found a relatively remote hotel, slapped a gold coin on the table, "Is there a vacant room?" Glancing at the price of the room with a maximum of ten silver coins, Ai Wen took out a gold coin worth a hundred times the value of silver coins.
"Nope. The boss hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and replied.
"Think again. Evan pulled out another gold coin.
"Nope. The boss looked at the extra gold coin and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Evan took out three more gold coins, "Is there any?"
"No!" the boss's eyes were fixed on Aven's purse.
"Oh, forget it. Evan put away the gold coins and turned to leave.
"Wait! I suddenly remembered, there happened to be a room vacant!" the boss stopped Evan with a smirk.
"Oh, take me there. The coins were put back on the counter.
"Wait a minute. The boss whispered something to the clerk next to him.
When Evan and the boss arrived at the room, there were several pieces of luggage piled up in the hallway in front of the door, and Evan knew that it was because of himself that he had been thrown out.
"Not bad. Evan glanced inside and exclaimed, perhaps afraid of losing such a generous guest, the innkeeper had chosen the best room for him.
Now, Evan can't enter the inner world, he knows that the original owner of the room is mostly a mercenary, and most of the hot-tempered mercenaries will not swallow their anger.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Ai Wen to hear a heavy slamming of the door, and after opening the door, Ai Wen directly handed over a bag of gold coins, "Can you give me this room?"
The man took the bag, looked inside, and disappeared with a happy face.
"This time I can have a good rest. Ai Wen was lying on the bed, ready to sink into the inner world, but the sound of slamming the door sounded again, and the mercenaries just now rushed in with a few people.
"Boy. The mercenary smirked, "As long as you hand over all the gold coins, we will consider getting you out of this room alive." ”
Evan glanced at them, and everyone's eyes were filled with endless killing intent and greed.
So, he sighed deeply......
"Do me a favor. The boss, who was huddled downstairs, followed the voice, "Are you still alive?" He couldn't believe his eyes, this lonely young man could actually survive under the hands of a few mercenaries!
"My room is a bit dusty, help me clean it up. With that, Evan went upstairs.
To see what was going on, the boss picked up a broom and followed himself.
There was no one in Aven's room, but for some reason, the floor was covered with a thick layer of ash.
The sweep was soon over, but for a few days, the boss was shaking, and he returned the overcharged gold coins to Evan under the bewildered gaze of the clerks, and until he died, he did not tell anyone what he had seen on that day.
When it was all over, Evan finally infiltrated the inner world.
"Are you ready to open the door?" said Aven, who appeared directly inside the castle.
"It's been prepared. The book said respectfully.
"I always think you're very happy?" said Aven, looking at the black book suspiciously.
"It's your delusion. "Actually, the book was happy for two reasons, first, Evan didn't hesitate to kill the mercenaries. Second, it felt an unusually abundant energy in the city, and if it absorbed this energy, the castle could even be liberated to the next level.
"Open the door. With an order, the lock fell to the ground.
Based on previous experience, Evan walked into the room on full alert.
But this room was completely different from the previous one, the room was bright and full of all kinds of instruments, and in the center of the room, a dwarf sat on a chair, glanced at Aven, and continued to fiddle with the equipment in his hand.
