Chapter 3 The mountain rain is coming
There are hundreds of countries in the entire magical world of Delmonton, large and small, even in the continent of Lahasa, there are nearly two hundred countries, and the Roa Empire, with the city of Rizar as its capital, is one of them. There are many major factions in the empire, and the power structure within the empire is complex. Although the military and political power of the empire was still mainly in the hands of the royal family, other powers, such as financial and tax powers, were scattered in the hands of various powerful factions. Even the most important military power is only in the hands of the royal family because of the support of the military leaders, and it is difficult to say what will happen if the military changes its mind. But in this case, even if it is possible, no one will try to make a name for the "emperor", what if you rebel, what if you rebel, you don't have the power of the emperor but you have the power of the emperor, and the king has to look at his face - wouldn't that be a very pleasant thing?
Liu Lei walked in the early morning in the city of Rizar, the streets had just been cleaned by the cleaners at night, clean and tidy, and the sanitation department did a good job of working with the capital's façade. The events of last night could not disturb his mood, and when it came to the morning, especially the spring morning, Liu Ti's mood would be cheerful, and he loved the morning air and the tenderness of the leaves, even though he was a carnivore. When he arrived, he liked to take a walk in the morning, walking around the main streets of the city of Zhizar, and then find some quiet places to sit for a while, such as under the walls of the city walls and on the banks of the moat.
There is a gazebo on the edge of the moat, which is a place where those old men and old ladies who have nothing to do gather together, those gossiping old men and old ladies like to come here at noon every day to gossip, Liu Lei likes to come here every time, listen to their talk from all over the world. People are older, naturally more knowledgeable, Liu Lei is really a rookie in this world, he uses such a way, to increase his experience! Every time he only listens and does not speak, and almost every day, the elderly people do not seem to have a good impression of him -- in this way, he can be young, he does not do his job all day long, and it is when he is working that he has nothing to listen to other people's gossip. And Liu Lei has always been used to fine clothes and jade food, and he is dressed brightly every day.
Liu Lei didn't know why he was getting more and more unpopular, every day passed, the old people who were sitting in a circle dispersed without saying two words, he was very puzzled, but all this was difficult for him, you don't want to see me, okay, don't let you see it? Liu Lei used stealth skills! But this kind of use for half a day, it is also quite laborious, Liu Lei has nothing to do with himself to draw an invisibility talisman, every day to the body like this, okay - Liu Lei's skills in drawing talismans are generally suspicious, this talisman just supports a small half a day! This paper talisman took him a lot of effort, the Magic World of Delmonton does not have the kind of yellow paper used by Chinese Taoist priests to draw talismans, Liu Ti really used his brains, experimented for a few months, and made a kind of inferior yellow paper out of bamboo, but fortunately, the effect is passable! By the way, there is bamboo here.
Today Liu Lei put on the invisibility charm again, nothing to hear, today Liu Lei felt that something was wrong as soon as he went out, he couldn't say anything wrong, but he just felt that today's air was filled with an atmosphere that he couldn't say. Walking on the street, the walls on both sides of the street are large posters, not a big exhibition of summoned beast eggs, or a competition between famous martial artists! The exhibition and sale of summoned beast eggs like this is quite cheap, they are all useless beast eggs bought by merchants from adventurers, or they are artificially cultivated, and they have no value, if you want to hatch them and use them in actual combat, then you have to be careful, maybe it can't help you, and it will hurt you!
But this kind of exhibition has always been very popular, not because of anything else, but because people believe that their luck is good! This kind of exhibition existed hundreds of years ago, in the Fourth Continental War, the legendary hero of mankind, Lu Yijiang, bought a strange beast egg at such an exhibition, but he did not expect that this cheap beast egg turned out to be a prehistoric giant beast, the land overlord - a steel monitor lizard! Lu Yijiang started his legendary life by relying on a steel-forged monitor lizard, and when Lu Yijiang rode a monitor lizard dozens of meters high, he had become the idol of young people for hundreds of years to come! Everyone hoped that he could get a magical beast egg like Lu Yijiang, and from then on he would never have to endure all kinds of pain!
There are many types of summoned beasts in this world, and in general, as long as they can protect all their objects, whether they are alive or not, they can be called "summoned beasts". Liu Lei remembered his giant type of hydra, coincidentally there happened to be a creature like a hydra in this world, when he first heard how many hydras others had killed, Liu Lei was worried in his heart, and secretly exclaimed, the people in this world are so powerful, such a powerful hydra, you can kill so many casually. For this reason, Liu Lei walked cautiously for a while, for fear that he would accidentally bump into a "good man" who killed a double-digit hydra, and then he would not be able to eat and walk away!
Liu Lei was smacked by a large group of "masters" who could slap him to death, and he was naturally unhappy in his heart, and he naturally wouldn't tell others about such a mess, but he was lame in his heart!
Liu Lei walked all the way to the moat, which had already left the city of Rizar, and he could see why he felt that something was wrong, because in the entire Zhizhal area, there were twice as many masters as usual! It is undeniable that the environment of the Magic World of Delmonton is more suitable for the production of masters, and the people here, for various reasons, are working hard to improve their strength, if all the people of the Dark Association are brought over, Liu Lei believes that after a period of time, the overall strength of his Dark Association will be greatly improved - oh, to correct a point, it should be said that it is the Dark Association of Kerry.
Such an atmosphere must be tense in this city, although ordinary people do not feel down, but it is certain that those old ladies in the city have already strictly ordered their subordinates to be more careful! And the defense of Rizar City is not vegetarian after all, so many masters, most of them are still secretly blocked outside the city. Now in the magic war, the defensive role of the city wall has been reduced to the weakest situation, even the thickest and strongest city wall in the world, the white striped rock wall of Zhizar City, can not withstand the bombardment of large-caliber magic bullets and cannons! The white striped rock is the hardest kind of natural rock in the world, the wall of Zhizhal City was built in the Third Continental War, and has been destroyed several times in history, the most recent of which was the last subcontinental war fifty years ago. That time, three waves of large-scale Elephant Eagle air raid troops from the Northern Bitter Cold Continent used the giant magic bombs they carried on their claws to blow up the entire city of Zhizar and the city walls into ruins!
After the reconstruction, the walls are still made of white strip rock, and the corners of the walls are ten meters thickest at the corner, and the thinnest part of the upper part of the wall is also four meters. Even such a city wall is also unable to resist the bombardment of large-caliber magic bullets and cannons, but such a city wall still has a certain protective effect on the people inside the city wall, at least in terms of defending against the attack and penetration of single people, it still has an effect, no, these masters of unknown origin have been blocked out!
Liu Lei secretly warned himself in his heart, be careful today, the role of the invisibility charm is limited, in such a large number of masters, it is difficult to guarantee that there are not one or two super masters hidden, the invisibility charm is such a "magic", they have never seen it, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not get to the bottom of it, then it will be troublesome. Liu Lei shrank his feet and retreated, wondering in his heart, has there been any movement between countries recently, how could there be so many masters gathered here? He could never have imagined that these people came here, in fact, it had something to do with him.
Last night, the little red ball that the man in black lost in Liu Lei's bar was actually a beast egg, a summoning beast egg—the egg of an extremely powerful summoned beast! The power group behind the white-robed man obtained the beast egg of a powerful prehistoric divine beast, the eight-winged pengback bird, no matter who it was, as long as he completed the ceremony of recognizing the lord of the summoned beast, he could get this superb summoned beast that was comparable to Lu Yijiang's steel-for-steel monitor lizard! In order not to attract the attention of the forces of the Touwang Linggu, the white-robed man in charge of this matter specially sent a group of his subordinates Thunder, Thunder, Thunder, Thunderbolt and other people and horses, the lowest Thunderbolt-level warriors, to pick up the beast eggs, but they didn't expect that the news they thought was airtight had leaked out of the way, and in just one night, as long as the countries in the Lahasa Continent could be called, almost all of them had sent personnel from their own countries' gray agencies; !
Fifty years is enough time for people to forget the pain of war. In the past 50 years, the conflicts and mutual restraints between various countries and forces have been more complicated than the most complicated chemical reactions! And this time the eight-winged peng-backed bird and beast egg incident seems to have inadvertently touched the string of balance between the five continents! And Liu Lei, who did not want to participate in all the affairs of this world, was unfortunately pushed to the center of this storm by the magical hand of fate!
Those who can be called divine beasts have their own unusual places, although Lu Yijiang's steel-forged monitor lizard is powerful and terrifying, but he has nothing special that makes it a divine beast- And it makes sense that the eight-winged peng-backed bird can be called a divine beast: when the eight-winged pengback bird is still in the stage of animal eggs, if you soak the animal eggs with your own blood for more than three hours, then the beast egg will not hatch, and it will directly merge with the owner, and at the same time, the absolute strength of the eight-winged pengback bird will be directly transferred to the main body to which he is attached!
Quan Er is a villain, not that he is a small person, it is true that he is a small person, but he is even more of a villain. Quan Er, who grew up on the street since he was a child, did not become a black market tyrant like the hero in the legendary story, and the twenty-four-year-old Quan Er is quite tall, but he doesn't have a few taels of meat on his body - it's no wonder that after eating the last meal, the nutrition can keep up! Quan Er, who didn't become a big man, became a villain, and he could only do some things that were easy to take the sheep, bully the weak and afraid of the hard, and deceive and deceive. Quan Er's world is in Yibao Lane, where Liu Lei's bar is located. Usually when Liu Lei is in the bar, he doesn't dare to do anything, a villain like Quan Er is naturally a little sinister, he can see that Liu Lei is not easy to mess with, at this point he is at least better than the man in black last night.
But when Liu Lei was away, Quan Er, who was very hungry, sometimes came to Liu Lei's bar to "hunt". Quan Eryuan is fine in the day, just wander around Yibao Lane and Huafan Street, on this street, he knows exactly what every person is doing when and when he does. He knew that Liu Lei was usually not there in the morning, and as for where he went, he didn't know, and he didn't dare to follow Liu Lei if he was given the guts! Yesterday was unlucky, and he had already deceived a girl who was looking for relatives in the countryside into a daze, and he was about to follow him into the Xihua Building - although the girl was a countryman, she was a beautiful embryo, with a pair of big watery eyes, and the heart of Quan Er, who was flickering and flashing, was itching, if this girl was sent to the Xihua Building, the men would not squeeze through the door every day! It is estimated that the landlord bustard will give himself at least ten gold coins!
It's a pity that at the last moment, the girl's relatives came to her, and the gold coin flew and fell into an old fist, which made Quan Er's muscles and bones feel as if they had been dismantled and reloaded. He slept all day under the wall at the head of the alley, and when he got up today, his stomach was really hungry, and he wandered around the alley twice, but he was driven out, and he had no choice but to take a risk and open the door of Liu Lei's bar!
In fact, there is nothing to eat in the bar, although Liu Ti lives here, but Liu Ti does not eat, there are only some small snacks and fruits here, every time he came before, he was cautious, even if he eats, he must pick and eat, try not to be seen. But today he was really hungry, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, when he saw something that could be eaten, he grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth! Accidentally dropped a purple grape to the ground! Quan Er was suddenly heartbroken, and he couldn't waste it, so he bent down and got up and lay on the ground to find it. The grapes were not found, but they saw a red ball! Quan Er was strange: it was obviously a purple grape, but how could it change color when it fell to the ground? He got into the corner, took out the "red grapes", and looked at it in his hand, it didn't look like it, this thing would glow, Quan Er realized that he had picked up a treasure - he had long heard the old people say that treasures can shine! Quan Er was ecstatic, but then it dimmed again: everything here was obviously Liu Lei's, and Liu Lei was listed by him as one of the three people who would never be able to mess with him in this alley! But when it comes to the fat in the mouth, how can you not eat it! Quan Eryi gritted his teeth and let it out, anyway, if Liu Lei found it, even if he said that he didn't see it, as long as he hid the secret, he couldn't find it, and he couldn't do anything about it!
Quan Er turned around in place a few times, where to hide, he has no home, the few places he often goes to are full of people, it is inconvenient to hide things, and he really can't think of where to hide after thinking about it! Suddenly he has a flash of inspiration, there is! Quan Er turned around and found a sharp knife, which Liu Lei used to cut fruit, he gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and poked it down at his calf! Quan Er cut a wound on his calf, put the baby in, and then tied it with a strip of cloth! While bandaging the wound, Quan Er called out in his heart that he was unlucky, did he cut on the blood vessels, why did the blood flow non-stop! He felt a burst of dizziness, this was a sign of excessive blood loss, Quan Er limped towards the door, how far he wanted to hide before Liu Ti came back!
Quan Er took two steps, the door was in front of him, he suddenly his legs weakened, and he fell to the ground with a "plop" and fainted! Originally, the old injury was not healed, but there was heavy bleeding all of a sudden, where could Quan Er, who was weak in physique, withstand such a toss, no, he fainted every two steps!
As soon as Liu Lei entered the door, he saw a person lying on the ground, he looked over, this person he knew, it was a not very famous gangster on this street, he used to come to steal something, Liu Lei turned a blind eye and forgot it - after all, he fell into a gangster who steals food, you can imagine how miserable the situation is! I didn't expect it to be ...... today He looked at Quan Er's body, there were quite a lot of injuries, and he couldn't help but feel a little compassionate;
Quan Er didn't know how long he had been unconscious, but the insidious nature of the villain made him react immediately as soon as he woke up, and he chose an inappropriate time to do something inappropriate in an inappropriate place! The first thing he did when he woke up was to see if Liu Lei had already returned! He looked up at the window, it was already night, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed, Liu Lei must have returned!
"Get up, don't pretend to be dead!" Liu Lei's cold voice sounded behind him, Quan Er got up from the ground, turned around and said with an embarrassed look: "Oh, hello, I really didn't mean to steal your things, I'm just very hungry - don't worry, I will definitely return the money for these things to you......" "Really?" Liu Lei asked, "Will you pay me back?" "Of course, of course!" Quan Er nodded repeatedly, and Liu Lei got up from the chair: "Okay, let's calculate how much you owe me!" Liu Lei pointed to the fruits that Quan Er ate and said: "These fruits are not ordinary fruits, they have been specially cultivated by the Protoss, and each of them is priceless...... Anyway, I bought it from the Protoss for three million gold coins, so you can do it!" Quan Er was dumbfounded and said, "This, is this real? They are so valuable, they really have such a great effect?" Liu Lei said nonsense: "Of course, I don't believe you can try it!" Liu Lei pointed to his bar, which he had polished himself with white rock. Anyway, Liu Lei just wanted to scare and scare Quan Er, it didn't matter if it was true or not, Quan Er raised his right hand in disbelief and slapped it the bar!
