Chapter 151: A Deal with the Lord of the Swamp (2-in-1)
A small pitch-black fragment that had formed a few seconds ago was patched up by a melted black violet glow. The pitch-black shards spread forward again, carrying huge clumps of weeds forward.
As he left the neck of the old mother's shell, the twisting and winding veins became steeper, and it was sometimes impossible to climb up with both hands to perceive the cold, pitch-black shards.
In the midst of this twisted bush, there was such a little girl with a sad face, bent over and half-knouched on the ground, full of displeasure:
"Really, I want to go out too, if I could get out, I would have gone out a long time ago, you say it's your turn?"
"And that annoying Lin Yetian, why did he really run over? I scared him so much and still didn't scare him away, it's really annoying, it's all because that six-legged bear actually attracted him! I'm obviously just talking......"
"Look at him like that...... If I showed up in my real form, he wouldn't beat me, would he? No, no, no, I definitely couldn't go out...... But how can I get rid of it......
Between the little girl's sad face, a familiar voice suddenly came from her ear, interrupting her thoughts:
"What are you talking about crouching on the ground and muttering?"
Lin Yetian stared at Karanz's big eyes and asked curiously.
"What do I mean about you...... Uh......"
The little girl raised her head impatiently, and was stunned for a second when she saw the figure behind her, her eyes instantly dilated, and her face changed quite wonderfully, and then she screamed like she was frightened and fluttered backwards:
"Hell!!"
"What are you doing, what are you doing!" The look in Lin Yetian's eyes became more and more puzzled:
"What the hell are you afraid of, a soul clan, but then again, your pseudo-god's appearance is too small?"
The little girl hiding behind the bushes cautiously probed her brain and watched outside, and only after seeing that the man in front of her did not make any further moves, she realized that he was not a ghost.
"You, you...... How do you know that I am a soul clan?" After recognizing that the person in front of her was Lin Yetian, the little girl muttered and pretended to be very hard and walked out of the dense jungle silently, standing fiercely in front of Lin Yetian. The size appears to reach only the lower abdomen of the latter.
Although she was angry on the surface, the pace of her submissive steps betrayed her nervousness at the moment.
"Hey, I said, how did you get from my ...... Oh no, from the cage of the great lord of the swamp?"
"It would be nice to just walk out. Lin Yetian shrugged his shoulders and said casually, "You are the lord of the swamp, right?"
"Why didn't I know that my purple cage could be walked out of at will......" The little girl was stunned, and then hurriedly waved her hand, looking vigilant:
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not the lord of the swamp. ”
Perhaps because she was afraid that Lin Yetian would not believe it, the little girl pointed to the purple cage as if instigating: "Look at you, the black phantom composed of withered vines is...... Huh, my withered vines!"
As far as the eye could see, the huge phantom that originally existed in the purple cage disappeared, leaving only Xue Muyan and Charlotte and the two daughters to stay in place.
"Where is my withered vine? I'm such a big withered vine! Why is it gone! That's what I made up little by little!"
The little girl wanted to cry and looked around the cage without tears, trying to find some clues, and seemed to forget Lin Yetian on the side for the time being.
"Is this what you're talking about?" Lin Yetian suddenly stretched out his right hand and handed a shrunken branch that was only half the size of a palm to the girl's eyes.
Hearing the voice, the little girl hurriedly turned her head and snatched half of the branch in Lin Yetian's hand, and said without tears:
"I ...... My withered vines...... How did it shrink like this......"
"Hey, it's okay. As soon as you water it, it will soon grow back to its original form. Lin Yetian said lazily.
"Really?"
"Why are you lying to you? Anyway, you're a real failure as a pseudo-god, you can't even figure out what you got yourself, you're still a soul clan......"
Lin Yetian complained silently, only to see that the little girl in front of him didn't care that there were outsiders around, and with a wave of his jade hand, a clear stream splashed out of the ground and dripped on the shrunken branches.
The withered branches grow slowly at a rate visible to the naked eye.
"Wow, it really works!" the little girl clapped her hands happily, and then she quickly argued: "I, me, I...... I'm not a swamp ......"
The little girl stopped halfway through her words and did not speak any further. Perhaps even she herself felt that the current quibbles were already somewhat unconvincing.
The little girl was silent. It was this silence that confirmed her identity, the true body of the Lord of the Swamp, a terrifying being known as a god.
However, in keeping with her title, the appearance of this "god" is rather pitiful, weak and helpless......
"You god...... Why do you look cute and cute......"
"You, you...... You're cute!"
Lin Yetian looked at the little girl's fleshy face, and couldn't help but gently raise her hand to pinch it, but the little girl didn't resist, and let Lin Yetian pinch her face.
But at this moment, the mutation was raised.
A huge crack suddenly opened in the originally intact ground, and a black ghost suddenly drilled out of it, roaring Teng Man, who had broken free from his original restraints.
That's right, this is the faceless monster that was dragged deep into the ground by Teng Man before.
The monster's faceless face could still feel its anger and hideousness, and its red body seemed to want to tear the latter in half against Lin Yetian.
"It's okay, Blackie. Own. The little girl gently stroked the black monster's arm.
Unexpectedly, the black faceless monster quickly calmed down and looked quite obedient.
There was no doubt that this monster was instantly dragged to the ground by the huge Teng Man before, but it was just a ploy by the lord of the swamp in front of him, the purpose of which was to intimidate a few people.
"It's Blackie, my only friend in the Dark Swamp. The little girl explained, with an imperceptible hint of loneliness in her words.
"Oh yes. Lin Yetian nodded, and then the words suddenly changed, and he looked at the Lord of the Swamp with dissatisfaction:
"Hey, girl. I didn't mess with you, so why did you send a puppet to beat me as soon as you came up?"
The Lord of the Swamp muttered:
"Don't call me girl, I have a name!
"Oh, good soul jade girl. ”
"Whatever you want!" Soul Jade seemed to be familiar with Lin Yetian's behavior, rolled her eyes a little helplessly, and then looked at him fiercely:
"Why do you want me to send a puppet to beat you! Obviously, you hit my puppet first, I'm just fighting back!"
"And let me tell you, those four puppets are important, you broke them so much that I can't run out to watch you Terrans fight now!
For some reason, there was no killing intent under Soul Jade's fierce expression, on the contrary, it looked like a sister who was arguing with her brother.
"Hey, then I don't care, who let you hit me, your punch hurt me very badly, I can't walk, you have to compensate me!"
"You, don't lie to people! I just saw you walking like a fly! And that punch didn't even hit a single hair of you, obviously you pretended to be injured and then flew out by yourself!"
"Ahh
The two sides quarreled word by word, but there was no tension at all. Lin Yetian, who was exposed to the old bottom, knew that he couldn't argue, so he shouted Ababa and wanted to overwhelm the other party in momentum.
"You, you...... If you say it, I'll just do it, what a rascal!"
"Anyway, I'm young, of course I don't need any martial arts!"
"You, you, you......"
Just as Soul Jade was stammering and stumbling in anger, the appearance of two figures interrupted their argument:
"Yetian, are you alright?"
Xue Muyan walked from behind, followed by Charlotte.
"It's okay, it's okay. It's just that there is a little girl who can't win, so I'll play tricks. Lin Yetian wittily beat a rake:
"Well, she's the Lord of the Swamp, the false god. ”
"Obviously, you can't win against me, okay! And you're a hypocrite, your whole family is a hypocrite!"
Xue Muyan looked at the little girl in front of her who was only half as tall as Lin Yetian and had been arguing and shouting all the time, if it weren't for her trust in Lin Yetian, it would be difficult for her to combine the little girl in front of her with the old and obscure swamp lord voice just now.
Charlotte's face was also full of confusion, but the doubts on her face were far less solemn than Xue Muyan's...... She seemed to know something.
Soul Jade muttered angrily, glanced at Xue Muyan dissatisfied, and then turned his head violently Lin Yetian complained:
"Hey, why did you let them out! I haven't agreed yet!"
"That can't be helped, who will let your own cage not fight. Lin Yetian shrugged lazily.
"You, you, you......"
Just as the two were about to quarrel again, Xue Muyan hurriedly grabbed Lin Yetian and said with some hesitation:
"Night Sky...... You say she's the Lord of the Swamp?"
"It's like a fake. ”
Xue Muyan, who had been affirmed, carefully looked at the soul jade in front of her, the true body of the Lord of the Swamp had obviously exceeded her expectations.
"Don't look at me like that, it's rude!" Soul Jade dissatisfied, she seemed to mind that others looked at her like that.
Except for Lin Yetian.
Hearing this, Xue Muyan smiled faintly and silently withdrew her gaze. After thinking for a few seconds, Zhengshi spoke:
"Honorable Lord of the Swamp, I wonder what your intentions are in sending four puppets to attack us......? Is it an act of aggression?"
Xue Muyan's gaze froze.
"Obviously you attacked me first, okay!" Soul Jade stomped her foot and muttered in retort:
"I treated you as guests, and I asked you to stay when it was still raining outside, and wanted to entertain you to eat some barbecue, but you directly broke the two puppets I left in the house!
Xue Muyan looked at Soul Yu's angry appearance, and the tone of the latter's speech was almost the same as Lin Yetian's, and she couldn't help but laugh secretly in her heart.
Although she smiled secretly, Xue Muyan still said calmly on the surface:
"Excuse me, but if it's as the Lord of the Swamp says, then what's the matter with the corpse of the Doomsday Warrior?"
"How do I know, good fellow, you suspect that I killed him!"
"That's what it looked like when I saw it, and it looked like his wounds were either bitten by a toothed wolf or a sharp-billed beast, what does it matter to me! My wooden puppets don't even have teeth, so how can I bite him with such a big hole in his neck!"
Xue Muyan blinked in astonishment, she didn't expect such a thing.
"I didn't do anything, you broke all three of my golems, I was so angry that I sent a fourth puppet over to beat you up, but you broke it again!" added Soul Jade frantically.
Xue Muyan blinked her eyes, she seemed to have figured out the truth of the facts:
At first, the lord of the swamp did treat the three of them as guests and wanted to entertain them, so he manipulated the man to go out hunting.
It happened that the corpse of a doomsday warrior fell nearby, and was sensed by the lord of the swamp, and when he was carrying it back to be used as food, it was accidentally hit by several people.
Seeing the bloody corpses of the Doomsday Warriors, they mistakenly thought that the puppets were going to do something to them, so they started a fight, destroying all the puppets.
That's the truth of the matter.
If there is anything to condemn here, it seems that the only way to criticize the Lord of the Swamp for being too bloody in his use of corpses as food.
But considering that we are now at the end of the world, this kind of behavior, while terrible, does not seem so completely unacceptable.
"It's all your fault!" Soul Jade glared at Lin Yetian and crossed his waist and said:
"This guy has an aura that is familiar to me, and I can't help but want to get close to ...... If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have taken the initiative to go out and entertain you!"
"Well, you're so nice. "Lin Yetian
Crowded and slightly gorgeous in the inner city.
A large area of densely packed camp-like buildings is intricately scattered around a large city, which is incredible in a central camp where land is at a premium.
It is said to be a camp, but the facilities inside are advanced that countless civilians have never experienced:
Fully automatic and integrated intelligent housekeepers, high-quality water sources that can be replenished at any time, and clean rooms, every simple detail can kill a civilian's labor for months.
But if you take into account that this is the collective residence of the Doomsday Warriors, then it is slightly understandable. After all, in the face of monsters, the only ones who really rely on this group of doomsday warriors are the only ones who can guard against the three cities.
Countless blood-stained Doomsday warriors walked back with their faces on their hands, although they looked very embarrassed, but strictly speaking, they were all victors.
Because the loser has become one of the dry bones outside the city.
Entering the camp, several Doomsday Warriors went straight back to their rooms. Take off your heavy, blood-stained armor and throw it to the ground.
Walked to the automatic water dispenser, exchanged a bucket of warm milk with a little dedication, and without much pretension, he directly lifted the whole bucket and poured it from top to bottom.
The warm milk went down to the stomach, and then without resting, I walked into the clean bathhouse, and the comfortable hot water poured down cleanly.
......
In any case, the treatment given to the Doomsday Warriors by the nobles and rulers is still good, both in terms of status and salary, it is a class second only to the nobility.
In addition to this, there are special groups that cannot be divided by general status and class, such as chambers of commerce and churches.
There are a mixture of people and dragons, there are nobles, commoners, doomsday warriors, and even a few rat people have joined in, and the huge social hierarchy is mixed together, making it impossible to look at the two groups with common sense.
However, no matter how complex and extensive these groups were, their leaders would not surpass the City Lord's Mansion in status and strength.
Therefore, as the archbishop of Zhaocheng, Yunguang could not be afraid of Nie Xiao, but he would still be in awe of Lin Yetian and the ancient griffin. Because the two of them represent the city lord of Zhaocheng.
In the central camp, the three city lords are the overlords who rule everything. No one can challenge their authority.
"Yetian, this is a big red robe, how about you taste it?"
In the antique room, the ancient griffin came to the automatic water dispenser, took a large cup of the big red robe with the contribution point, and put it in front of Lin Yetian. The fragrance of tea is overflowing.
"It's ok. Lin Yetian took a sip casually and said, but did not carefully taste the tea on the seat, but looked at the room:
This room is not covered with simple white paint like the other rooms, but has a lot of things that have a sense of age.
In the corner of the wall on the right side, there is a large case of pear marble, on which there are all kinds of calligraphy posts before the prosperous era, and dozens of treasure inkstones, various color pen holders, and the pen inserted in the sea of pens is like a forest.
On that side, there is a big Ru kiln flower sac, and a bag full of crystal balls is inserted in the white chrysanthemum. On the west wall hangs a large ink and watercolor, and on the left and right hangs a couplet, which I don't know who wrote it, and its word cloud:
Yanxia idle bones, spring stone field career.
There is a big tripod on the case. On the left red sandalwood shelf is a large plate of a large view kiln, which contains dozens of delicate yellow and exquisite Buddha's hands. On the right side of the lacquer rack hangs a white jade, and next to it hangs a small hammer. On the east side, there is a couch, and a gauze tent with green and double embroidered flowers and grass insects is pulled.
"Yes, yes, the room I was placed in was very well equipped. Lin Yetian was satisfied.
"This is my room, your token is broken, and you haven't been assigned a room. Xue Muyan ruthlessly pierced Lin Yetian's fantasy, causing the latter to blink and freeze his eyes in place.
The ancient griffin smiled awkwardly but didn't ask anything, thinking that he also knew about Lin Yetian's token.
"Let's get down to business first. Xue Muyan took the teacup that Lin Yetian had just drunk the water, and she didn't dislike it, and after taking a slight sip at his position, she said lightly:
"Master Gu should have noticed a hint of what happened before, right?"
The ancient griffin didn't speak, waiting for Xue Muyan to continue speaking.
"Come to think of it, Master Gu should have a general idea about those corpses, right? As for who captured and killed those civilians, and who did ...... to do it?"
"Those people...... Didn't the cardinal catch it without permission?" Meng Ping, who was almost about to become a little transparent, suddenly spoke, and Lin Yetian realized that there was a woman next to him.
"It's not. Xue Mumuyan paused, then raised her head silently, looked at the ancient griffin with sharp eyes, and said slowly:
"If I'm not mistaken, that Yunguang ...... He's a stranger, isn't he?"
The ancient griffin was stunned, looking a little surprised. After two seconds of silence, no words were spoken.
"And...... Does his ability have to do with language?"
“...... Miss Xue is really good eyesight. The ancient griffin finally nodded, and said with some hesitation:
"He is indeed a supernatural being, and the supernatural ability is indeed related to language, to be precise, the ability to control a person's speech with mental power for a specific period of time. I have a record here. ”
Hearing this, Meng Ping couldn't help but cover her mouth. "That'...... Isn't that ......?"
"This style of painting is wrong...... Why is the ability serious?" Lin Yetian sighed strangely on the side.
"Since Master Gu already knows his ability, then he should also understand that this matter has nothing to do with the Church of Light, right? Why didn't you stop Yunguang from leaving in the church, let alone expose him in public?"
Xue Muyan narrowed her eyes. "Or ...... Lord Gu, don't you want to offend the Church of Light for the sake of some civilians?"
When the words landed, it did cause a longer silence. The ancient griffin was silent for a while, and finally sighed deeply, and muttered with a strange face:
"You know...... Is there any god that the Church of Light believes in?"
"Isn't that the Lord of Light? Lin Yetian replied.
The ancient griffin nodded, and then his expression became more complicated:
"This god who is known as the Lord of Light...... It's real!
Xue Muyan was slightly startled, and said hesitantly: "You...... Do you mean existence in the long river of history, or is it ...... Still is. ”
"It's in this world! it's in our central camp!" said the ancient griffon, in no uncertain terms.
Several people looked at each other and did not speak.
