Chapter 654: It's For Your Sake (10,000 Words Big Chapter Asking for Subscription)
Completely destroying the clone of the Elder God Enzos, Illidan quickly used his knowledge and power to restrain Sargeras's metal body, and began to unleash a large amount of evil energy to neutralize the shadow energy.
After a while, the behemoth stopped resisting and struggling, and once again returned to its previous state of motionlessness like a sculpture.
There is no doubt that in the absence of external forces to drive and control, the temporary avatar that this Dark Titan created for himself is an empty shell, neither conscious nor sentient.
That's why the Elder Gods dared to fight it.
Once the erosion or transformation is successful, Enzos will receive a minion for free that surpasses most of the Titan's high-level guardians.
However, it is a pity that although he planned well, and also cleverly used the eyeliner planted by Illidan's side, Vaskey, and waited patiently until he reached the deepest seal before suddenly making a move, but in the end he still ignored an important variable.
What's more, it is not only the ancient gods who have installed eyeliner around Illidan, but also the blood orcs of the War Song clan arranged by Zuo Si.
So from the moment Deathwing flew through the skies of the Shattered Isles, Enzos's conspiracy had been exposed.
Even if he succeeded in taking down Illidan and Mavi Shadowsong, he simply wouldn't have enough time to convert the vast amount of evil energy inside Sargeras's avatar into shadow energy.
Looking at the huge metal body burning with green evil flames in front of him, as well as the Eye of Sargeras, which contained amazing destructive power, Illidan immediately realized something, touched his chin and muttered in a slightly playful tone, "It turns out that all this is the result of the game between the three forces behind the scenes.
And I'm just a pawn to be used by them.
Through threats and intimidation, Kil'Gardan ordered me to open the seals of the Broken Isles, in a vain attempt to reverse the unfavorable situation in Mount Hyjal with the power left behind by the Dark Titan in Azeroth.
The Elder God sensed this, so he sent Waski to my side in an attempt to intervene.
The coincidence of the appearance of Soth, the god of contracts, shows that he also knows my whereabouts well.
So I was in their sight from the very beginning, and there was no secret in everything I did.
Although it is a little unwilling, it is also something that cannot be helped.
In order not to be someone else's pawn forever, I need to gain more and more power. ”
With that, Illidan set his sights on the metal body of the Dark Titan and the Eye of Sargeras, which contained devastating powers.
There was no doubt that as long as he absorbed the power of these two things, he would no longer need to worry about the pursuers sent by the Burning Legion.
Just as the Demon Hunter was about to carve a circle of demonic energy in place, a slight sound of footsteps behind him interrupted his thoughts.
Turning around and glancing, he saw that it was Mavi Shadow Song and Zuo Si who had walked in from the entrance.
Especially the former, his demeanor seems to be a little wrong, and his eyes reveal very complex and resentful emotions, which is really a bit different from the simple hatred and anger before.
In contrast, Zuo Si's mood was significantly better, with a playful smile on his face from beginning to end.
Whenever Mavi Shadow Song made eye contact with him, the former would immediately avoid it, a little like a weak heart, and a bit like awe and fear.
As for the reason, it must be what happened to the two just now.
It's just that Illidan can't guess it for the time being.
But he didn't bother to put his energy into such boring things.
Because in his eyes, Mavi Shadow Song is just a difficult woman with an extreme personality and a dead heart.
As long as you don't chase after your ass every day in the future, you can do whatever you want, and you can be loyal to whoever you are willing to be loyal to, anyway, the farther away from yourself the better.
But what Illidan didn't know was that his image in Mavi Shadowsong's mind had changed from a heinous criminal to a different one.
This subtle change can gradually have a huge impact on the relationship between the two.
Zuo Si, who was a musician, was obviously very happy to see this situation, glanced at the black blood and tentacle fragments on the ground, and said with interest: "So what you met this time is the ancient god Enzos?" ”
Illidan nodded thoughtlessly, "That's right. At least that's what this guy calls himself. Do you know where Enzos was sealed? ”
"I don't know much about that.
All I know is that it is sealed at the bottom of the ocean beneath the waves.
As for the specific location, according to the memory of the Titan Guardian of Ulduar, his territory and body should be in the east of the ancient Kalimdor continent, which is now the Eastern Kingdom.
So if nothing else, the seal should be in the area between the eastern continent and the Matrodex.
But it doesn't matter.
He has secretly gathered forces to build a special city called "Niolosa", and sooner or later he will jump out on his own.
It's too late to clean up when the time comes. ”
When he said this, Zuo Si took the ancient god who had gone crazy with the Black Dragon King Nesario and successfully twisted all the upper elves such as Aishara into Naga.
Because he knew that Niolosa was actually a spiritual world or void plane similar to the Emerald Dream Realm.
That's why those Faceless Generals and Enzos can use this as a base to continuously erode the Emerald Dream.
Perhaps it would be quite a challenging task for others to take out Enzos in such a special area.
But for Zuo Si, who is immune to all mental and spiritual attacks, it is as easy as eating and drinking.
And he always wanted to find an opportunity to strengthen his mental abilities and mind spells from the roots.
Niolosa, known as the City of Awakening, happens to be the perfect sacrifice.
As long as Enzos dared to jump out and reveal the coordinates of the city, Zuosi would immediately teleport in to enjoy a delicious meal, following the example of the old dragon Nicol Bolas and directly tearing the entire space apart and devouring it.
This is one of the biggest benefits of being in the evil faction, and you don't have to think about too many other factors when you want to do something.
"What do you mean...... Don't worry about these small actions of the Elder Gods? ”
Illidan spoke with a strong sense of uncertainty.
Because he had already felt how terrifying the power of the Old Gods was, he was a little worried that while he was concentrating on dealing with the Burning Legion, these guys would suddenly step in and do something.
Zuo Si nodded slightly: "Yes, you don't have to worry about the conspiracy of Enzos and a few other ancient gods.
Because I'm going to deal with them personally.
What's more, the Titan Guardians I took in at Ulduar weren't vegetarians either.
These guys were able to destroy the Dark Empire on the frontal battlefield back then, and seal all the ancient gods one by one, and there is no reason why they can't do it now. ”
"Well, I think I get what you mean. Do you have any plans for this abandoned avatar of Sargeras, and that eye with great destructive power? Illidan cautiously probed.
"No, you can deal with them yourself.
It doesn't matter if you keep it for yourself or give it to Kilgardan to earn his trust.
Just like I promised before.
You have free will and can do whatever you think is right.
Because I trust you unconditionally. ”
With that, Zuo Si raised his hand and patted the demon hunter on the shoulder.
This action instantly sent Illidan with a stunned expression, though it only took less than a second to disappear.
Because of repeated betrayals, both openly and secretly, Illidan has not known what it is like to be trusted by others for a long time.
After all, even his own brother Malfurion, his lover Tyrande, who was willing to give everything for him, was unwilling to give him the slightest bit of trust.
Even if everything he does is to fight the Burning Legion, save Azeroth from the most powerful forces in the physical universe, and save the Night Elf race.
But now, there is a stranger who has only known each other for a short time who says that he is willing to believe in himself unconditionally.
To say that there is not a little emotion in my heart is absolutely false.
But Illidan was Illidan after all, and he quickly regained his composure and sanity, and responded in a tone without a trace of emotion: "Although I don't know why you are willing to give me trust, I still have to say thank you." Hopefully, one day you won't want to screw my head off because of some of my decisions and actions. ”
"Hehe, don't worry, if it really comes, it won't be my turn to do it.
Because then dear Mavi Shadow Song will be by your side the whole time.
I've talked to her about that.
She and her Watchman troop are willing to be a useful helper while keeping an eye on you.
I believe that as long as you work together, you should soon be able to cause a lot of trouble for the Burning Legion......"
In the end, the corners of Zuo Si's mouth rose very significantly, and a smile that seemed to be gloating appeared on his face.
No way.
As soon as he thought of the daily life between the two in the future, he couldn't help but feel the urge to burst into laughter.
And with the personalities of Illidan and Mavi Shadow Song, it will definitely not be a spark of love, but a devastating explosion.
"Are you crazy?"
Illidan's expression at this moment was as if he had seen Kilgardan or Sargeras coming, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
You must know that the most annoying thing he is in this world is Mavi Shadow Song.
The 10,000-year-long imprisonment of PLAY has inevitably caused some psychological shadows for this fearless demon hunter.
Therefore, even though he has become the Demon Lord of the New Bottomless Abyss, his strength is far greater than before, but he will still be terrified when he faces Mavi Shadow Song.
As the saying goes, one thing descends one thing.
Perhaps Mavi Shadow Song is Illidan's destined nemesis.
Admiring Mr. Dan's almost distorted face, Zuo Siqiang couldn't help but smile and explained: "Of course I'm not crazy, I just provided a solution to the contradiction between you."
You can say no, but I can't guarantee that she won't continue to chase after her ass.
Think about it, do you want to continue this game of chase?
Or do you want to reach a temporary settlement and gain a strong helper?
I think any sane person should know how to choose. ”
Speaking of this, Zuo Si deliberately paused, stepped forward and whispered in Illidan's ear: "Remember what I told you before?"
You deserve better than Tyrande.
I think Mavi Shadow Song is a good fit.
After all, a woman's willingness to give up everything to chase a man means a lot of things to play with.
Besides, didn't you notice that the hatred in her eyes had disappeared? ”
The voice has not fallen!
Illidan subconsciously sensed the changes in Mavi Kagege's body energy with demonic vision, and found that the other party was no longer a red that symbolized anger, but a neutral and friendly blue.
This kind of 180-degree turn in attitude instantly reminded him of many possibilities, and he couldn't help but shudder, gritting his teeth and complaining: "Damn! Who wants you to be nosy? As a god comparable to the Titans, are you usually so idle? ”
"It's for your own good. You know, I wasted a lot of words trying to convince Mavi Shadowsong. ”
After that, Zuo Si didn't care about the painful and tangled expression on Mr. Dan's face, he directly raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and disappeared in place in an instant.
For the next few minutes, Illidan and Mavi Shadowsong, who remained in place, did not say a word, and an atmosphere of embarrassment and embarrassment filled the air.
In the end, it was the latter who broke the silence first, and said in a stammering tone: "I...... I admit that I have some prejudice against you before, and this hunt ...... In large part, it was also out of anger at Tyrande's massacre of the Warden Jailers...... So I hereby apologize to you. ”
Apologize?!
Mavi Shadow Song will actually apologize?
At this moment, Illidan only felt that his brain was violently pounded by an invisible force, and even cut his palm with his fingernails, trying to confirm that it was not a hallucination with pain.
Because this matter is essentially no less than Tyrande's sudden divorce from Malfurion and his acceptance of his courtship, it is the kind of thing that will never happen even at the end of the world.
At this moment, Illidan only felt a tingling of his scalp, and he didn't understand what Zuo Si said and did at all, and he could actually produce such an incredible effect, so he could only respond with a hard head: "There is no need to apologize, you just don't have to trouble me in the future." ”
"Unless you do take refuge in the Burning Legion, you don't need to worry about my moonblade hanging around your neck again."
As the last word blurted out, Mavi Shadow Song immediately used flash magic to leave the place that made her feel awkward and uncomfortable.
As soon as she walked on her front foot, Illidan let out a long breath on her back foot, and at the same time greeted Zuosi frantically in the most vicious and ugly swear words of all known in her heart.
But unfortunately, because he was only cursing in his heart, the latter couldn't hear it at all.
What's more, even if he hears it, Zuo Si obviously doesn't care about this "art of language" at all, and only laughs more happily.
By this time, he had crossed the Endless Sea to the High Elf Residence in the Valley of Thorns.
Prince Kael'thas and the mages who had been waiting for a long time were now trembling and breathing rapidly around a small bottle filled with violet glow with excitement.
After about two or three minutes, the elven prince raised his head and asked with a flushed face, "Is this ...... Is this the water of a well of eternity? ”
"Yes, this is the water of a well of eternity.
Since the Sunwell had been polluted by the Scourge Corps, I had to send someone to take over Quelldanus Island and establish a base there.
As compensation, I'll give you this thing as a gift in return.
It is believed that with it you will be able to create a new sunwell to alleviate the symptoms of addiction that have erupted since leaving Quel'Thalas. ”
As he spoke, Zuo Si handed the water bottle in his hand to the other party.
Kael'thas carefully held the water bottle in the palm of his hand like a lover, and said incoherently, "Thank you!" Thank you so much!
I don't know how to describe how I'm feeling at the moment.
Since fleeing Quel'Thalas, my people have been suffering from symptoms called demonic addiction, and some have even been tortured to the point of losing their minds and going insane.
In order to solve this problem, I and a group of mages studied for a long time but could not find an effective solution.
If it continues like this, many people will die of madness.
I even had nightmares about it for a long time, and I couldn't get any rest.
But now, I can finally get a good night's sleep.
In the name of the Sunstrider family, I swear that the entire race of High Elves will henceforth be your most faithful followers and followers. ”
What are the importance of the Sunwell to the High Elves?
Just look at the "heartbreakers" who are locked in cages.
These addicted maniacs couldn't control their thirst for energy at all, and when that energy came up, they sucked almost everything into their bodies.
Whether it's arcane magical energy, or shadow, death, life, evil energy, and light.
In the original timeline, many blood elves were unable to control themselves from absorbing the energy of the power of death in the sunwell, and as a result, there was a trend of undead on a large scale.
The higher-ups of Silvermoon City even had to send troops to kill these guys in pain, causing the already small population to usher in a cliff-like decline.
Others who followed Illidan to the Outlands simply began to suck up even more powerful powers.
In short, without an infinite source of energy to extract, all that awaits the High Elves is constant weakening and dying.
Because from the moment they created the Sunwell, they were destined to live only around a huge source of magical energy.
Zuo Si was undoubtedly very aware of this, and sent a copy of the most important well water of eternity at a critical moment.
In the eyes of the High Elves, this is tantamount to the grace of recreation.
In less than a few minutes, he could feel the threads of faith connecting him to the mages, warriors, and civilians present, and each one more fanatical and religious.
"Have you found a place where you can make a second sunwell?"
Zuo Si obviously didn't like this atmosphere very much, so he quickly diverted the topic.
Kael'thas hurriedly shook his head: "Not yet.
However, there are a lot of nodes where magical energy converges in Thorn Valley, and I don't think it should be too much of a problem with a little effort.
Also, lately, the trolls of Zor Grabri have been getting on the go, for unknown reasons.
Five days ago they attacked a farm.
But strangely enough, they did not steal any belongings or food, but only kidnapped the family in the house.
But fortunately, the patrol appeared in time and rescued the farmer's family of three.
The trolls who participated in the attack behaved unusually, and even if they were killed, none of them surrendered. ”
"Oh? You mean the trolls of Zur Grab are attacking from all sides, capturing humans and elves, and bringing them back to the living sacrifice? ”
There was a hint of surprise in Zuo Si's tone.
From what he knew about the trolls in the Valley of Thorns, the customs of these guys were quite barbaric, bloodthirsty, and cruel from a modern perspective.
Blood sacrifices, living sacrifices, cannibalism, and the like are commonplace.
It's hard to imagine that this is a race that has developed over tens of thousands of years and has built a huge empire and a glorious civilization.
Normally, though, they shouldn't be able to get within easy reach of humans and elves.
Because a large number of trolls have been forcibly transformed into forest spirits, rumors have begun among the troll tribes that humans have mastered some kind of evil sorcery, which will weaken and degenerate the trolls, and lose their proud ability to regenerate.
Therefore, in the eyes of the trolls, humans are the strong and dangerous party.
And the sacrifice of trolls has complex religious overtones.
In general, only strong warriors or spellcasters are eligible to be sacrificed as tribute.
When food is plentiful, civilians like farmers who have little combat power are not even eligible to be eaten.
Whether it's raiding farms, kidnapping farmers, or being close to human settlements, the behavior of the Zulghrab trolls is quite abnormal.
Kael'thas carefully placed the water bottle in a magic box and handed it to his most trusted subordinate, before explaining with a wry smile, "I don't know if there are live sacrifices, but it's definitely true that they're arresting people everywhere."
Even the goblins who cut and mined everywhere to make money, and the ogres who lived in the caves suffered.
Rivigas, the wealthy man of Treasure Bay, even offers high bounties to adventurers to hunt trolls.
And then there's that your priestess, Karexia, who has lost contact. ”
"Karlesia is missing?"
Zuo Si was taken aback when he heard the news, and immediately tried to track down the current position of this high-ranking priest through the connection of faith.
But what made him feel incredible was that the thread of faith was still there, but the person had disappeared.
Not even a soul, to be exact.
Accidental death?
No!
Wrong!
If it dies accidentally, Karesia's soul should follow the land connection to Bato's Hell.
But the hell side did not receive such a mortal soul.
So there was only one possibility, and that was that her soul was imprisoned somewhere that could not be explored.
And the guy who did it was so cautious that he blocked the connection of faith in an instant, so much so that he didn't notice it at all.
"Interesting! It seems that there must be some secrets hidden in Zur Grabri that we don't know. ”
Zuo Si narrowed his eyes and looked at the location of the troll city in the distance.
Although the jungle city seems to be very calm, it doesn't seem to be much different from usual.
But he could already vaguely feel an aura of madness, greed, and evil spreading from the inside out.
Is Haka, the god of blood, coming?
Or did the trolls summon something more terrifying?
"Do you need me to send a spy to Zur Grabri to find out what's going on?" Kael'thas asked in a low voice.
"No, no, I'll check in person later. All you have to do is keep an eye on these trolls and notify me as soon as you notice danger. ”
Zuo Si bluntly rejected the elven prince's kindness.
In his opinion, the population of the High Elves is already only this point, so it is better to stay in the rear and have children.
If necessary, he wants to teach his pastor some magic that can increase the pregnancy rate and sexual interest, and the church will come forward to organize a multi-person movement or something.
"Okay, I understand what to do."
Kael'thas agreed without hesitation.
Because with the defeat of the Burning Legion's invasion, the Lich King was also brought under control, and the situation in the whole of Azeroth began to gradually calm down.
Although sporadic wars continue in some places, they are far less large-scale than before.
Therefore, this elven prince does not need to stay on the front line every day to provide magical support at any time, as he did in wartime.
Coupled with the fact that the well water from the Well of Eternity can completely solve the most difficult problem of demon addiction, there is naturally plenty of time to do something else.
"Don't be careless. The trolls of Zur Grab worshipped the blood god Haka a long time ago. This is a very horror monster that feeds on blood, life, and souls. ”
Zuo Si solemnly issued a warning.
He was obviously well aware that this blood elf prince had the problem of carelessly dropping the chain at a critical moment.
If calculated purely according to strength, the relationship between Kael'thas and Haka should be considered half a catty.
The latter may be slightly stronger, but that's about it.
Even if Kael'thas can't beat Haka, it's always okay to protect himself and stall for time.
Of course, the premise is that he must be vigilant enough not to be killed by the other party all at once.
"Haka, the god of blood? I think I've heard that name somewhere. ”
Kael'thas frowned and began to search his memory.
Like many geniuses of the Immortal Race who were smart enough, he was plagued by so much knowledge stored in his mind that many obscure contents took a little time to reflect.
After only three or five seconds, the elven prince immediately exclaimed, "Ah! I remember! This is a Loa god worshipped by the Valley of Thorns jungle troll empire, Gulabash. But then the oldest of the trolls of Zandalar stood up against it, destroying the very foundation of faith in the god. ”
Zuo Si nodded slightly: "That's right." I have reason to suspect that Haka, the god of blood, has been awakened in the depths of Zulghab. Otherwise, the trolls have summoned something more dangerous. ”
"What about you? What more urgent things are you going to do? ”
Kael'thas asked curiously.
"I made an appointment with someone to go to another time and space to meet a friend, and it might take a few days."
With that, Zuo Si instantly activated the power of the Brigade Mage's spark and disappeared in place.
Next Second......
He appeared in the middle of a dirt road lined with endless wheat fields.
At the end of the road stands a majestic city-state, along with many colossal statues and shrines.
Even from afar, you can still feel the grandeur.
Just as Zuo Si was about to confirm his position, a deafening loud bang suddenly sounded behind him.
Bang!!!!!
The ground instantly began to tremble violently, and the pedestrians and merchants on the road swayed uncontrollably from side to side as if they were drunk, and some simply lay on the ground and prayed to the gods they believed in.
As for the livestock, they all wanted to go crazy and scurry around.
No matter how much the master whips, it is useless.
Following the direction of the sound, Zuo Si saw that the top of a high mountain was constantly spewing out red magma.
Massive amounts of volcanic ash and harmful gases soared into the sky, staining the nearby sky into a large gray scene.
"Well, I think this should be the legendary Mount Verus, and the city-state in the distance should be the famous Akros."
Zuo Si watched the erupting and boiling volcano as he muttered in a voice that only he could hear.
From these two names alone, it is not difficult to guess that the plane he is currently on is due to the belief of the gods, and the heroes of Theros.
This is where Gideon Jura, who has the ability to regenerate infinitely, is the new generation of traveling mages.
Elspeth's Chengyang Sword was also born from this plane.
The biggest thing about Theros is that when enough people believe in something, then it will appear 100%.
Even the most powerful gods were created by the faith of mortals.
Once a mortal no longer thinks that a god is still a god, then even if he was still standing above all the gods in the last second, he will instantly fall into a mortal.
Elspeth took full advantage of this when he returned from the underworld after being murdered by the sun god Heliod, claiming that the spear in his hand was the real artifact, while Heliod was a fake.
Although the truth is completely the other way around.
But as more and more mortals believed, the two weapons collided during the final battle, and as a result, the fake shattered the real thing.
Or with the blessing of the power of faith, the original fake in Elspeth's hand has gradually been transformed into the real thing.
That's the scariest thing about the Theros plane.
As long as people believe that no matter how outrageous, it can happen.
Another traveling mage, Goldmane Ajani, also took advantage of this, and finally achieved the goal of compleating the gods by using the power of glistening oil to compleat the believers.
Unreasonable, illogical, all matter and energy are shaped by the most extreme idealism.
Normally, such a place is the world that Zuo Si hates and dislikes the most.
Even in the original plan, there was no intention of coming to the Theros plane.
However, considering the people he was going to meet on this trip, he reluctantly endured it, and walked with the merchants and travelers on the road towards the distant city of Akros.
Since the overall style here is inclined to ancient Greek mythology, people are mainly dressed in that period, basically a piece of cloth wrapped around the body.
It is very common for both men and women to expose their upper or lower bodies.
As for the slaves, they did not even have a loincloth, and were pushed into the market for public bidding under the reprimand and whipping of the slave owners.
Occasionally you can see a variety of interesting monsters and humanoids.
However, all this did not appeal to Zuo Si in the slightest.
Because he came to Theros at great risk for one purpose, and that was to see for himself the Goldmane Ajani, who possessed the most god-defying abilities of all the traveling mages.
The reason why the word "against the sky" is used is definitely not an exaggeration.
It's that this Lion Brigade mage does have such power.
If necessary, he could even directly create a soul entity of equal strength to the enemy.
In other words, even if the opponent is a traveling mage like Nicol Bolas or Zoth.
Based on the limited information, Zuo Si had always felt that Ajani's ability should be to directly purify the target's soul, splitting it into two parts, good and evil.
The evil side of it remains in its original body, while the good side is pulled out to fight it.
Since the two halves of the soul are evenly matched, neither can defeat the other, so this kind of battle usually has no results, and is more like a weakening, attrition, or delaying time for the enemy.
But even so, it still can't hide its power and horror.
After all, neither Nicol Bolas nor Zuo Si would ever want to fight their replicants.
With all kinds of speculation about the abilities of the mages of the Lion Brigade, Zuo Si walked into a tavern in the city of Akros.
Since the eruption has stopped at this moment, many people can be seen gathering in the tavern to talk about the danger that has just happened, and have a drink to calm the restless mood.
With the constant magic effect of clever words, he easily understood what these people were saying, and casually tossed a gold coin to the bartender, motioning for him to serve him a drink.
I saw a man who looked to be in his thirties take out a bottle of the best wine from the cabinet, pour about a sixth directly into the glass, and then gently put it on the bar and push it forward.
"Here, your drink. It's one of the best spirits in the store, drink it slowly, I don't want to see it squirt out of your mouth and spill all over the place. ”
"Thank you!"
Zuo Si raised his glass for a moment, then raised his head and drank it all.
Moment!
There was a hot sensation in his mouth and throat, and ordinary people must have begun to feel suffocated at this time, so he had to spit out the liquor as a last resort.
But fortunately, Zuo Si's physique attribute had long been in the category of non-humans, so he was unmoved at all, and directly pushed the cup and the second gold coin over.
This undoubtedly surprised the bartender and other drunkards who had been waiting to see the joke.
The former even took advantage of the money to pour the wine, and asked with interest: "You shouldn't be a local, right?" I don't remember a face like you in Akros. ”
"Yes, I'm from a very distant place, and I'm here to find people. Have you seen a combination of a lion man and a human female knight lately? Zuo Si deliberately pretended to be casual and asked.
"Lion man and human female knight? This combination is really rare. But if you can afford it, I wouldn't mind asking you around. ”
The bartender placed the glass that was once again filled in front of Zuo Si and made a very subtle gesture.
Undoubtedly, like many tavern operators, he sells alcohol and sells intelligence part-time.
And the latter should be the main source of income.
After all, you can only make a few dollars by selling wine, and a piece of information can start with hundreds of gold coins.
Zuo Si was also familiar with this, and directly took out a lower pocket full of gold coins and threw it to the other party.
After the bartender took it, he first weighed the weight, then opened it again to check the condition, and quickly showed a satisfied expression: "The pattern is exquisite, the gold content is full, and the gold coin you paid is quite good." ”
"And what about the information I want?"
Zuo Si urged with an impatient look.
"Don't worry, give me a little time."
With that, the bartender turned and pushed open the door and walked into the back kitchen, muttering a few words to a young man who looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old.
The latter immediately understood, and rushed out at great speed, moving around the hall like a butterfly with a tray of beer and talking to the guests.
A few beers will be left as a thank you gift.
After about ten minutes, the young man came over with an empty plate, sat down on the bar next to Zuo Si, and reported in a low voice: "Based on the statements of a merchant, two mercenaries, and some street thugs, it is almost certain that the person you are looking for is in this city right now. Maybe you might want to consider checking out the market or the Hall of Victory. They used to appear in these places. ”
"Okay, thank you."
Without saying a word, Zuo Si stood up and walked outside.
When he pushed open the door and disappeared into the bustling street, the young man couldn't help but ask the bartender: "Who was the guy who paid for the information just now?" How did he give people such a strange feeling? ”
"Don't inquire about the privacy of our customers, this is the iron rule of our business, have you forgotten?" The bartender reprimanded angrily.
But the young man was obviously a little unconvinced, and rolled his eyes angrily: "Come on." We're just in the gossip business, and we're not a strictly secret intelligence organization. And that person just now is obviously not ordinary. I'm willing to bet that sooner or later intelligence about him will make us a windfall. ”
"Idiot! I'm afraid that I will have a life and a lifeless flower. Didn't you notice that he conjured up the money out of thin air? Now get me out to the back kitchen and do chores. ”
The bartender woke up the young man's daydream with the empty wine glass in his hand, pinched his neck and threw it into the back kitchen, then slammed the door shut.
When he had done all this, he turned his gaze to the street outside the tavern.
Just a dozen seconds ago, another small gang that had nothing to do all day and relied on stealing, robbing and scamming also walked out behind Zuo Si's ass.
After all, people who are willing to spend a lot of money to buy intelligence are certainly not poor, and they are the ideal targets for looting.
Predictably, something must have happened in the alley at this point.
The bartender didn't care about the lives of a bunch of wanderers, but he was a little worried about what to do if they died in such a horrible way that the alley was covered in blood and scraps.
