Chapter 2: The Demon King on the Prairie......
After the rise of the Magic Revolution, various by-products of alchemy entered people's lives.
Like movies and television, anime, games, inflatable dolls...... Ahem, of course, you can't fail to mention the airship and the magic car.
The airship is quite convenient in all respects, because it does not need to be limited by the terrain, and according to the principle of the shortest straight line between two points, the efficiency of the airship is undoubtedly higher than that of the magic car.
However, although the existence of the magic guide car has replaced some riding animals, its high cost is also destined to have a magic guide car to travel for the wealthy class with status and status. The average small trader will still choose to use animals such as chocobos and horses as a means of transportation...... After all, animal feed is much lower than the cost of maintaining a magic car.
Although there are also civilian buses...... But how to say it? A businessman once said recently: "Only poor ghosts who can't even afford chocobos will take the bus~!!"
There is another special group that would rather walk or save up for a mount than crowd the bus...... They often appear in various knight novels, they are always a gray group that wanders between black and white, they can kill people for money and save the world for money, "ask for money and don't die" is their motto.
Mercenary...... Unlike novels, there is no such thing as a mercenary union in this world, there may have been before, but there is definitely no one now.
Mercenaries are not bound by the law because of their behaviour, and they travel all over the world and are hired by all kinds of people...... Some people need these mercenaries to accomplish some shady things, but they don't want these people to develop into a large organization, especially on a continent that has been at peace for hundreds of years.
To put it simply: mercenaries can have them, but mercenary guilds cannot.
......
It has been more than half a month since they entered the territory of the Sixconian Empire, and Garusis and the others crossed the rugged nameless mountains and entered the high plains, and from here on, the further south they went, the lower the terrain.
This place is a boundless prairie, and there are many wolves to see nothing else here...... Unfortunately, these were still just wild beasts, and even when Garusis wiped out batch after batch, there were always some eyeless animals hanging far behind.
"I've had enough!Ellis, sit me down for a while~!!"
Galusis, who was shrouded in white robes, glared at Ellis Megatron in a depressed manner...... At this time, he was sitting leisurely on a cloud and eating snacks.
According to him, this is a demon that he obtained at great cost (499 points!).
"I'd love to use it for you, but somersaults can only be ridden by the pure-hearted. Ellis looked helpless.
Although he knew that this guy must be talking nonsense, Garusis really couldn't ride on the cloud that didn't seem to have the texture of reality. Although it was soft to the touch, it would pass through the cloud with a little force, and it was obvious that I couldn't ride on it.
However, the phrase "only the pure of heart can ride" is definitely nonsense, and this Ellis Megatron cannot be associated with the word "pure heart" in any way.
"You just keep!" Gallusis pouted, but didn't force it...... But when Ellis said this, he really wanted to get a demon that could walk.
The problem is that he doesn't look down on ordinary beasts, monsters...... Could it be that those fog monsters that don't even have self-consciousness can be used?
"No kidding, it's better to infect ordinary beasts with the blood of the Demon King. Garucis muttered under his breath.
Luo Lan, who had a keen perception, undoubtedly heard someone's muttering: "Your Majesty the Demon King, if this is the case, I recommend the unique mount [Wolf] on the orc's side, it is not bad in terms of appearance or strength, and it will definitely be more powerful when it becomes a monster, right?"
Ellis also interjected, "But using monsters as mounts has an absolutely unavoidable drawback......
"Can't see the light...... Indeed, it's impossible for us to put a robe on our mounts, do we? Having figured this out, Garlu Siston was devastated.
"Speaking of which, what was His Majesty's previous mount of the Demon King?" Although he looks like a cute boy, Luo Lan is also a girl no matter how he says it, and the fire of gossip is blazing, and his eyes are a little shiny, so he almost said "I'm curious!"
"I know this, it's a three-headed Chimera that looks very strong...... It's a pity that the guy ended up falling under the sword of the brave Messiah. When he talked about Gallusis's former mount, Ellis, he looked regretful.
"Chimera, that's also a monster, how did His Majesty the Demon King travel on it during the day?"
"I used to just throw a dark canopy to block the sun's rays, but now ...... Hehe. Garusis laughed but did not speak.
At the beginning, he was powerful and able to compete with all mankind, but now he is so weak, and it is simply self-defeating to use this kind of magic that is obviously dead.
"Dark Sky...... Could it be the one in front of you?" Ellis, sitting on a somersault cloud, pointed to the distant sky.
Looking in the direction Ellis was pointing, he noticed that there was indeed a dark area in the sky in the distance...... It was undoubtedly the effect of the dark canopy.
"Wow, what the hell is the person who is dying, and who is using this dark magic so blatantly?" Gallusis looked surprised, but more curious about the person who used it.
"Just go and see, go first~!!" As soon as the words fell, Ellis stepped on the somersault cloud and rushed into the sky, and in a blink of an eye, he could only see a small black dot.
"Rub, I must get a better mount than that guy from Ellis~!!" Garusis was depressed for a while, and then said to Lorain, "Run, I'm afraid it's all over if it's too late." ”
"Oh. Lorraine nodded.
Then the two of them rushed towards the area covered by the dark canopy as if they were desperate.
However, Ellis, who arrived early, was hiding in the dark sky, looking down at the ground with a pair of binoculars.
There, a group of hideous-looking dogs and men were beating two unarmed young women with murder weapons...... Although judging from the tragic circumstances of the battle, it was the two so-called unarmed young women who had the upper hand.
"It's a necromancer, and I haven't seen this class in years!?"
