Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Border Town

"Boom!" A dark red sword flashed, leaving a deep ravine in the ground. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Marven stood beside the ravine, which was two feet long and three feet deep, with his sword in his hand, and nodded with satisfaction. The Dou Qi in Orenville's body was terrifyingly powerful, although he couldn't use these Dou Qi absorbed by "Bloodthirsty Fanaticism" to operate it freely, but as long as he slowly refined it over time, his strength would undoubtedly rise to a higher level.

After putting away the sword and calming down the surging fighting qi in his body, Marven walked to the side of the blood essence stone and leaned over to pick it up.

This blood essence stone is an irregular oval shape as a whole, exuding a dark red luster to the outside, and its surface is engraved with gorgeous and complex patterns.

If it weren't for the several magic scrolls given by Hypatia in his hand, I am afraid that in today's battle, I am afraid that I would have been planted on this strange blood essence stone.

Due to the influence of the magic shield, there is no longer half a point of magic element fluctuation in the blood essence stone, but as long as it is activated, it can burst out with infinite power.

It now rests quietly in Marvin's hands, silently telling the past glory of the Brest family. Marven looked at it for a long time and put it in the storage ring.

Marven quickly rushed to the entrance of the cave and shouted inside, "Zhang Feng, come out, it's safe." ”

Zhang Feng cautiously crawled out of the cave and said, "Brother Marven, that blood clan leader won't come to us again, right?"

"Well, no, don't worry about it anymore. Marven smiled and patted his head, "Let's go, we need to find a place before dark and have a good night's rest." ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Feng nodded heavily, and then followed Marven and walked into the distance.

Marven took the map, carefully studied the route he was traveling, and after a few moments, he stretched out his finger and dotted on an inconspicuous mark in the center of the map.

Utan Town, a border market town of the St. John's Empire, is also the only place in the vicinity that can provide food and lodging.

In the evening, Marven and Zhang Feng finally arrived on the streets of Utan Town.

Marven hurriedly applied a disguise technique to himself and Zhang Feng, and then in Zhang Feng's surprised gaze, the two of them turned into unfamiliar blonde and blue-eyed appearances.

"We're going to have to disguise it so we don't have a lot of trouble. When the spell was finished, Marven put away his wand and put on his own tattered gray robe.

"Is this magic? It's amazing!" Zhang Feng couldn't help but exclaim, "It's incredible, Brother Marven, I can't even recognize you like this!"

"Hehe......" Marven looked at him with a smile, as if he saw himself when he first came into contact with magic, "How about it?" Zhang Feng, do you want to learn?"

"Think!" Zhang Feng nodded heavily, almost without thinking.

"Hehe, as long as you want to learn, I will definitely take the time to teach you, and when you get to the Marne Federation, there is a great magister grandfather who is much more powerful than me, as long as you work hard enough, maybe you will have a chance to get his guidance......" Marven patted him on the shoulder, constantly encouraging.

"The Great Demon Master, who is much more powerful than Brother Marven......" Zhang Feng looked longing after hearing this, and secretly clenched his fists.

"Well, I will definitely work hard!" Zhang Feng shouted loudly, but before the words fell, there was a rumbling sound in his stomach.

Marven couldn't help but smile when he saw the resolute and calm young man, and said, "I haven't been to the market town for a long time, let's find a restaurant and have a good meal later." ”

After Zhang Feng heard this, he cheered, they had been living on dry food these days, and as soon as they heard that they could eat a big meal, the saliva at the corner of their mouth almost flowed out.

"I'm going to eat chicken legs, steaks, and cakes......" Zhang Feng danced and shouted a lot of food names, and after a while, his stomach rumbled again.

"Okay, okay, I'll make sure you'll have enough ......to eat later," Marven laughed, almost amused by him.

Walking on the streets of Utan Town, Marven found that the town was surprisingly depressed, with few pedestrians on the streets and closed doors one by one, a scene that even reminded him of the war-torn Biloch and Ramadi in Morowing.

Marven frowned, he couldn't figure it out, this St. John's Empire was strong, the country was rich and the people were strong, and even the demons didn't dare to get involved easily, how could they encounter a military disaster like the Principality of Morowing?

With such doubts, Marvin walked aimlessly down the street, stopped a hurried passer-by and asked in the continental lingua franca with a Morovingian accent, "Hey, man, do you know where in town there are taverns that are still open?"

The passer-by looked at him like an idiot, shook his head repeatedly, and muttered, "I don't know!" and walked forward without looking back.

"Brother Marven, is it possible that we can only eat dry food tonight?" Zhang Feng was a little frustrated after walking on the street for an hour, still not seeing a single open restaurant or tavern.

Marven shook his head and sighed: "The residents here have almost run out due to the war, it seems that we have come at a bad time." ”

"Wait a minute, let's go there and see if we can try our luck. He glanced around, and suddenly found an old storefront with flashing lights at the bend of the street on the left, so he hurried there with Zhang Feng.

"Is there anyone? We live in a hotel, may I ask anyone......" Marven banged on the door, but after a long time, there was no movement.

"It seems that there is no one left...... Zhang Feng was a little frustrated, silently took out the dry food, and squatted in the corner.

He had barely crouched down when the door behind him suddenly opened.

"Ahem...... Cough...... Excuse me, do you want to stay in a hotel?" A hoarse voice sounded from behind the door, and a gray-haired old man walked out of the door slowly with his back bent.

"Huh...... There is still a ...... to do business" Marven smiled lightly and said: "Of course, boss, we came from afar, passing by here, please make it ......convenient for you" He looked at Zhang Feng, who was swallowing his saliva on the side, and smiled knowingly, "Of course, it's best to help us provide us with dinner." ”

"No problem, sir. The boss opened the door completely and made a "please" gesture, "Come in quickly, it's been very uneven outside lately." ”

Marven nodded in thanks, Zhang Feng threw away the half-eaten flatbread and went straight to the restaurant with a cheer.

Dinner was not very rich, there were no meats such as chicken thighs and steaks, just some simple but delicate pastries, but nevertheless, for the two of them, who had been sleeping in the open for more than ten days, it was already a rare delicacy.

"This gentleman, I don't know where you are going?" The owner of the hotel finished his work, found a stool and sat down at the dining table, chatting with Marven without saying a word.

"Hmm...... We're going to the Manx Federation to do something, I said boss, is there any war nearby, why is your restaurant still open in the whole town?" Marven put down his beer glass, a little curious.

"Alas......" The boss sighed helplessly, and said slowly: "Sir, don't you know? The holy war between the empire and the Moses has begun......" He raised his eyes and looked at the shabby magic robe on Marven's body, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he shook his head and said: "I don't know what level of magician you are, but I advise you, then the Marne Federation is better not to go, you may not know, now even the most elite mercenaries in the empire dare not go there......"

"Why?" Marven frowned, "Is it because of the war?"

"Hmm......" the boss nodded, "the battle is very fierce now, making the whole frontier panic, out of the city and further east, there will be a heavily guarded checkpoint every few kilometers outside, civilians have no way to pass, unless you join the imperial army and participate in the holy war." ”

"Young man, it's not easy for you to become a magician at such a young age, take care, be careful not to arrest those imperial troops as strong men or as Moses, those guys can do anything in order to win the holy war......"

"No!" After hearing this, Zhang Feng on the side swallowed a large piece of cake and muttered vaguely: "Brother Marven is a very powerful magician, ordinary people are not his opponents at all, and it is impossible for those imperial soldiers to stop him." ”

The boss smiled, "Little guy, those outposts are garrisoned by thousands of elites, and there are also paladins among the officers in charge of garrisoning! Unless it's a magister, anyone who doesn't get close to that outpost will be shot into a hedgehog by a crossbow!"

After Marven drank a large glass of beer, he asked, "Boss, do you know what the specific situation of this war is?"

"Oh...... Sir is like this......" The boss briefly introduced the battle situation he knew, "The scale of this holy war is too large, even the Marne Federation has been involved, and it is said that it is still the main battlefield over there, if you don't dislike it, you can stay in my store for a while, and when the war subsides a little, you are making plans, how about it?"

Marven frowned, thought for a long time, and finally threw out a few gold coins, "Then bother the boss." ”
