Chapter 523: Lu Cheng
Lucheng, as the name suggests, is the transportation center of the Catlin Country. It's possible to get to Catlyn almost anywhere in the car. Again, it is a mixed populated area. Here, if you don't have a lot of strength, then you risk being robbed of all your money. Of course, if you have the strength, then you can get what you want here. For this reason, the city of the road is also called the city of sin.
It's a three-way area. There are no law enforcers here, and there is no garrison of the Catlin Nation here, so order here is mostly maintained by large mercenary groups stationed here.
At this time, Harlan was wearing a very wide cloak, and he stood at the mouth of a dark alley, watching the wind and grass around him with a cautious expression. It was midday, and almost all of them crowded into the various taverns.
Soon, another cloaked man came out of a tavern. He was smiling, and he was carrying an orange-yellow bottle in his hand.
"Rodney, I have to say, I've been here for two days. But I didn't see anything, and, look at you, aren't you waiting now, why do you even want to buy a bottle of wine?" Harlan was very angry, and he abandoned his defensive position to come here to verify Rodney's intelligence. However, it's been a few days now, and I haven't seen anything except all kinds of rotten people. And, the most infuriating thing is that this guy Rodney actually buys alcohol while on a mission.
"Harlan, don't be in a hurry. There are some things that just being in a hurry can't solve the problem. Rodney found a place to do it, and he unscrewed the lid of the bottle in his hand.
A mellow aroma burst out of the narrow bottle, and soon a lot of aromas filled the surroundings. Without hesitation, Rodney poured the bottle into his mouth. Suddenly, a stream of orange-yellow liquid flowed from the bottle into Rodney's mouth.
"Cool!" Rodney shouted with a happy face, which made Harlan suddenly feel that it was a mistake for him to come with this guy.
"Rodney, if I don't see what you said this afternoon, then I'll go back. "Although I have a good relationship with Rodney. But I can't fight like this. I have my own defense zone, and if I relax my monitoring over there because I waste time here, then I will be guilty of too much.
"Harlan, well, you're just waiting. If there's really nothing to do, then you can leave. Originally, Rodney was going to have a good conversation with Harlan, but now it seems like it's better to forget it. Harlan's expression now can be seen as long as he is not a fool, he is very unhappy now.
"Yes. Harlan replied with a smile.
The two of them waited here silently, and as time passed, Harlan's expression became more and more ugly. Rodney looked embarrassed.
At sunset.
Harlan finally couldn't sit still, he lifted the cloak behind his back and walked towards the center of Lucheng.
"Hey. Rodney let out a long sigh, Harlan was able to accompany him to this place, so this was already a lot of face.
"Damn it. I've been wasting almost three days here. I hope I don't have anything going on there. Harlan prayed silently, he didn't want anything unusual to happen to him.
Suddenly, as Harlan was passing by a small alley, he overheard the conversation of several people.
"You know what? These guys haven't been out in days. ”
"yes! I don't know what they're trying to do. And, according to others, they came back with almost forty percent attrition. And it looks like they haven't caught anything. ”
"Cut! These guys should have been like this a long time ago, and they were like this as the dignified Fifth Mercenary Regiment. As a regiment commander, he actually spoke to his subordinates in a consultative tone. If I were him, I would have found a piece of tofu and killed myself. ”
"Hey, hey, this time I know that their head didn't come back. I guess they're thinking about how to split up this time!"
"Yes! They have all recalled the people they sent out to station! I guess they are really thinking about how to divide the family. ”
"Hahahaha! If these guys disband the mercenary group. Then our mercenary group can ascend to the top. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, if they're gone!, then wouldn't my mercenary group be in the top ten!hahahahaha!"
"You kid, let's go! Don't talk about it!
"Yes, yes, yes! Treat!
A large group of mercenaries revolved around a person and happily walked towards a tavern.
"A beaten mercenary group. It's really pathetic, forget it, I'll go take a look. Just to see what the hell happened to them. "The mercenary group happens to be managed by the Adventurer's Guild, and Harlan is the top five in the Adventurer's Guild. Then he naturally has a special identity.
Coming to the front of this relatively large courtyard, Harlan quickly felt an unusual aura above this courtyard.
Arriving at the main entrance, Harlan knocked lightly.
"Knock knock. After a while, there was no response.
"Knock knock!" Harlan knocked on the door with a bit of force this time. But. Still nothing is happening here.
"Damn, what's going on!" Harlan suddenly felt the unusual aura grow a little thicker.
Looking at the wall next to the door, Harlan hesitated for a moment before he climbed into it.
The overgrown yard greeted me, and it was clear that it hadn't been cleaned for a few days.
"What the hell is going on! Why no one has ever lived here. Harlan silently pulled out his sword. He walked cautiously through the courtyard.
"Huhuhu. "The wind is blowing everywhere. This made Harlan feel his heart tingle.
"Hissss A sense of crisis soon filled his body, and Harlan suddenly felt an urge to run away in his mind.
However, the glory of being the fifth stopped him. It was because of this strange feeling that Harlan had to come in and take a look.
"Hey, anyone?" said Harlan, shouting at the top of his voice, and it was because of this that his fear was lowered considerably. It has to be said that shouting has a great effect on alleviating a person's sense of fear.
"Whew. The only thing that answered him was the sound of the wind. There was a dead silence all around.
"Gollum. Harlan swallowed, feeling more and more that there was more than one thing staring at him.
"No! I'm going to see what the hell is in here!" Harlan looked at the largest room next to him, and walked in front of this room with the fear in his heart.
"Pound!" Harlan kicked open the door, and soon, he spotted the strange scene inside.
Corpses are everywhere!
It's literally a slaughterhouse. Suddenly, Harlan felt a strong feeling of vomiting coming over his heart.
"Ouou!" Harlan still couldn't help but spit out, and suddenly, the ground was covered with green and yellow.
"Hurry back and report!" was the thought in Harlan's head, and he quickly turned around, only to find several men dressed in black standing behind him.
"Damn!" Needless to say, this must be the murderer who caused this scene in front of him.
Harlan swept through with a sword, and the men jumped straight behind them. Harlan was taken aback, his sudden attack was not something that anyone could dodge. You must know that Harlan is not an ordinary ninth-level warrior, his strength is honed between life and death. This kind of reaction and this speed are gradually trained by him through life and death battles.
However, the trick that he was proud of now was actually just a small trick in front of the guy in front of him, which made Harlan a little difficult to accept.
However, this knife is not without credit.
At least the men took a few steps back enough to get themselves out of their range.
"Let's go!" Harlan whispered to himself, and then he dropped a small gray ball in his place. Suddenly, the gray ball created a large cloud of smoke. Harlan used the smoke as a cover to escape around the courtyard.
But, as it turned out, he was thinking too much.
He hadn't taken a few steps before several other men in black appeared. They were all black, and so were their weapons. The most frightening thing is that the eyes that leak out of them are all scarlet.
"Something is wrong with these people!" Harlan was not a fool, he stopped thinking about fighting when he saw the terrifying pupils. It's the right way to go out and find other mercenaries to work together to exterminate these guys.
The men in black formed groups of threes, and they attacked Harlan one by one. Harlan was forced to defend, his speed couldn't be raised at all, and he could only parry the attacks of these guys as he walked.
Soon, Harlan came to the side of the wall, and the black-clothed men attacked even faster.
"Labor and management are gone!" Grabbing the wall, Harlan kicked himself into the sky.
Soon, however, he noticed a figure falling above him. Before Harlan could react, he felt his back being attacked by a very large force.
"Boom!" Harlan landed on the ground and smashed a big hole. He then lost consciousness. (To be continued.) )
