Chapter 359: The First Signs (Ask for Subscription!Ask for Recommendation Tickets!Ask for Monthly Tickets!)
After dealing with the formalities of changing the ownership of the "Devil's Stomach" and reassuring the only current employee, Quest left the tavern with Blue and went to receive the medical camp.
As he expected, the medical camp had been overrun by a "privileged class" of the city.
However, the young Blue Dragon, who has the highest power in the city, personally intervened to "mediate", and they did not even resort to the expected physical persuasion, and the ownership of the medical camp was taken back into their own hands.
As before, Quest appointed the experienced Ogre Gourmets as Quartermaster, overseeing the distribution of supplies.
And he himself dragged the "privileged class" he had just acquainted with, and personally went to negotiate with the most powerful people in this group of "privileged class", and by the way, he inquired about the Yugros Demon caravan.
In the past, most of the heterotopic mercenaries were villains found by the devils from various planes of the multiverse, and some of them were gang bosses who were called and embraced by the younger brothers, and now they have all become the "soil emperors" of this abyss city.
However, the guy who is now at the top of the "privileged class", or the most powerful villain, is not the first group of xenoplane mercenaries, but a latecomer who is completely made of rocks, so he is also unpopular among the many privileged people.
"My lord, that guy claims to be the 'Champion of Fighting at Kord Arena', and is said to be from a plane called Crunan. ”
The former head physician of the medical camp who followed Quest - the privileged person who took possession of Quest after his leave, did not see the dignity of being a professional warrior monk at this time, and his face did not have the condescending appearance of being pleaded by the patients in the past, but like a salesman of a philistine - enthusiastically introduced to the young blue dragon, for fear of missing any information.
"We couldn't beat him, but we weren't that scared, at least no one called him a 'fighting champion,' as he asked. ”
"People generally call him Crunan, or some of them will just call him 'Stone Man'. ”
The evil warrior monk chattered all the way, but Quis didn't interrupt him.
Because from the first sentence of his introduction, the young blue dragon immediately realized the problem, and his brain entered a state of high-speed thinking.
"Champion ...... of Kourd Arena"
Ordinary people might not react much if they heard this, but thanks to the excessive amount of knowledge inherited in his childhood, Quis stored knowledge in his mind that was very alien to many living beings (even ordinary dragons).
He knew that "Kord" was not an ordinary name, it was the name of a true god!
If you don't take into account the bonuses of the dragon race, Kod is even more powerful than Tiamat, who is only a weak god.
After all, this hedonistic deity who belongs to the camp of chaos and goodness, and possesses the realm of "strength, sports, sports, fighting, and courage", has been ascending to medium divine power for thousands of years.
The true god, known as the "Wrestler", is most often presented in the form of a man with red hair and a red beard, a strong body and a muscular body. To show off his strength, he usually wears no upper body, but wears a red battle belt, blue boots, gloves sewn from primeval white dragon skin, and holds a dragon-slaying greatsword called "Markai" in one hand.
Many knowledgeable dragons have speculated that the god is likely to be a dragon killer (though he never said so), and that he wanted to show his strength and bravery in this way.
And because Kord was a high deity, his followers, priests, and fanatical admirers among mortals were likely to have the subjective impulse to imitate Kord.
In other words, if the stone man from the Krunan plane was really the "Arena Champion of Kord", then he would never have the idea of serving the dragon legion, and he probably approached those dragons for another purpose.
For example...... Slay the dragon.
Of course, so far, all of this is just speculation on Quest's part.
But he did take an interest in the stone man from the Crunan plane, and wanted to find out the other party's motives.
"The sudden transition from infrastructure flow to ontological reasoning, this bottomless abyss of daily life, is really chaotic. ”
Suddenly, he suddenly had a glimmer of realization in his heart.
The spirit crystal servant hovering in the sea of consciousness of the young blue dragon flickered for a moment, but then regained its composure, and Quest felt a sense of "approval" from it, some kind of vague but extremely grand energy fluctuations, which seemed to be a little more.
"I almost forgot that the Spirit Crystal Servant still contains a trace of the source power of the Bottomless Abyss Reward.
It is said that those demon lords essentially rely on the number of abyssal sources to divide their respective strengths - because the amount of abyssal source power symbolizes the different degrees of abyssal consciousness recognition, and those who are recognized by abyss consciousness can be invincible in the bottomless abyss. ”
Quest pondered, but he didn't have the idea of studying this abyssal force right now:
First, the time and place are not suitable, in the Bato camp on the front line of the bloody battle, exposing the secret of his deep source power, maybe he will be directly branded as a rebel, and will be hunted down to death by the Batzu devils;
Second, the Spirit Crystal Servant has absorbed the Abyss Source Force, although Quis currently has no chance to use it, but the Spirit Crystal Servant can indeed help its owner resurrect after his death, and with the blessing of the Abyss Source Power, if he encounters anything unexpected in the bottomless abyss, he will be more secure when he is resurrected, at least with fewer twists and turns.
Therefore, the young blue dragon didn't want to study this power now, and there was no need for him to take risks.
"It's better to be an honest detective, and the winner is the one who ends up. ”
Letting the warrior monk of the evil camp lead the way, Quis made his way through the streets of the city at a rapid pace.
Unlike cities in other places, cities built in the abyss of the bottomless abyss have infiltrated chaotic rules even in their layout. If cities elsewhere are two-dimensional, the structure of this abyssal city is actually three-dimensional.
The city was built little by little around a number of huge stalagmites rising from the ground, and many settlements were actually caverns formed by digging stalagmites.
They are stone bridges that have been artificially spelled, ropeways made of fibers from the bodies of plants that grow tenaciously in the Acid Mist Canyon, and elevators made of ropes, pulleys and planks...... A variety of ways to connect as one.
But Quest never imagined what kind of passage he would encounter in the end if he wanted to reach the stone man's dwelling.
"You usually sit on this thing, go up?"
Quest asked, a little surprised.
