Chapter 1083: I'm Here (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Under the morning sun, a wide transport ship was hung with sails, and the bow of the ship, pushed by the wind, ploughed the waves, setting off white spray.
"It's coming, it's coming. ”
"It's finally here~!"
The passengers on the ship looked at the black city in the far east, and cheered and jumped on the deck.
In the midst of the cheering crowd on the deck, a man dressed in an ordinary cheap gray robe with a hood over his head slowly raised his head, squinted his eyes, and surveyed the city in the distance.
The bright sunlight shone obliquely from the south side, so that the shadow created by the deep hood could barely cover the upper part of his face, but the cold lips were exposed.
If you look up along those thin lips, you will see a pair of cold and cruel eyes without a trace of human Chapter 1083 I am here (asking for a monthly pass) and other indifferent eyes.
It was none other than Edwood the Lich.
He hid quietly behind the crowd, carefully surveying everyone around him with a cold eye, and compared to his companions, who only liked to hide in the dark basement, Edwood liked to walk alone in the human world and deal with humans.
When the mood strikes, grab a few things that interest you, or go for trouble with the temple, and plan a few fun little actions with the people of the Dark Council.
When the mood is not good, they will send a few evil spells, plagues and natural disasters or something, and find something for those priests to do.
Because of this, Edwood is regarded as an outlier among the lichs, a lich who loves to travel in the human world, a unique hobby that other necromancers can't understand - how good it would be to have this time to practice more spells and increase mana?
However, it is thanks to this unique hobby that Edwood stands out among the lichs and is appreciated by the High Priest of the Dead himself.
The High Priestess of the Dead, an old man, often heard interesting anecdotes about the human world from Edwood.
Always walking in the human worldChapter 1083 I am here (asking for a monthly pass) Derder understands the dangers of the human world better than any other dark mage.
Here, the power of the Holy See of Light is pervasive, and churches and priests of the God of Light can be seen anywhere on the mainland where there are people.
Their churches and temples are like a huge net that covers every corner of the continent. As soon as there is any trouble, they can always get the news in time, and then calmly dispatch troops to encircle and intercept them.
No matter what kind of master he falls into this big net, he will not be able to escape their pursuit in the end.
Therefore, Edwood was always doubly cautious, lest he reveal any flaws, and on this ship bound for Nedel, Edwood kept away from the crowd and avoided contact with anyone.
Of course, no one is far from taking the initiative to deal with this old man who looks withdrawn and weird.
"It's going to be there soon. Edwood also breathed a sigh of relief, he had had enough of the cramped, dark, damp, stuffy cabin.
He looked up at the city in the distance.
At this time, the speed of the ship is extremely fast under the blowing of the sea breeze. It was only a short time before the city became clearer.
Particularly striking is the spire of a tall tower.
The glazed spire glittered in the sunlight and stood out like a lighthouse.
Edwood grabbed a sailor who walked by, and asked, "The spired building in the distance belongs to the temple of Neyan?"
The young sailor glanced Edwood up and down, and saw that this impolite fellow was an old man of the same grade as his grandfather, so he pressed his mind and said, "What are you kidding, those fellows at the temple dare to borrow their courage?"
It was the tower of the Governor's Palace, the landmark of our Nai'an. This is what our Governor of Lorraine has done since he renovated it. ”
This sailor is about a native of Naian, and the words are full of pride.
Edwood was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously, "Shouldn't the temple building in the city be the tallest?"
Edwood had already planned to find the location of the temple and stay away from there. And then the camera acts.
For the lichs, the temples in each place are the most dangerous places.
In particular, the holy weapon made by those grandsons is simply like a magic channel. If you casually put it in the middle of the crowd, you can gather people's beliefs and transform them into the holy power of those priests for them to use in their practice. It's just so convenient.
And the most infuriating thing is that those priests don't look at their high rank, but the bishop of any area dares to shout a few times in front of the dignified lich master.
Not only that, but once they have a paladin on their side, they dare to rush over and PK with the lich master. And what's even more terrifying is that as long as nothing goes wrong, they can basically win.
Grandma's, but any lich with a little self-esteem will not be able to stand it~!
Therefore, after being killed countless times by the papal see's gang of pups, everyone finally learned their experience and lessons, and they also learned a lot.
After all, this is the home of the Terrans, so it's better for everyone to have their tails between them.
Listening to Edwood's question, the sailor crossed his waist and laughed proudly, "It may be somewhere else, but in our Nai'an, this rule does not exist." The spire of the temple was far worse than the Doge's Palace.
It is said that the current Pope was still a bishop in Nai'an. Whether it's a temple or a priest, when you see our Governor of Lorraine, you have to be equal. Everything has to be discussed here, whoever has the money can build as high as they want. ”
Originally, the young sailor wanted to make a joke about the fact that our governor is the father of the Pope's child, and this kind of secret that the people like to hear.
But looking at that old fellow, he was mysterious and sneaky. It's not a good thing at first glance.
Who knows where he came from, if he was an envoy sent by the temple, or if he was full and ran to the temple to tell a secret, he wouldn't be able to eat and walk away.
Edwood was familiar with the customs of human society, and when he heard this, he sneered, and secretly said in his heart: Lorraine, this damn guy is really inflated enough.
Whether it is in the human race or in the Semitic race, whether it is the temple of light or the temple of the demon god, they are all supreme beings who are beyond the world.
"It's still equal to him. It can be seen how arrogant this Lorraine has reached. Edwood sighed in his heart: "The higher you climb, the harder you fall, the more ambitious guys in history always end well." ”
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a burst of regret. It was as if Lorraine had been killed. And here he hangs on the wind the genius who has been jealous of the heavens.
At this time, the big ship was getting closer and closer to the harbor, and was about to gallop into the harbor.
Under the captain's loud command, the sailors shouted trumpets and slowly lowered the huge sails on the transport ship.
The wide transport ship slowly slowed down, and a small boat flying the Ruman flag approached from the direction of the harbor and leaned against the transport.
A clerk-like man and a few soldiers jumped nimbly onto the transport.
The captain of the transport ship hurriedly greeted them with a few people and greeted them politely.
This is when the port's pilot registers the vessel before entering the port.
The clerk spoke to the captain and walked into the cabin with a clipboard in hand.
The clerk's eyes scanned everyone on deck, and Edwood bent down with his head bowed, hiding his face completely in the shadow of his hood, and then coughed twice in disguise.
The clerk's eyes lingered on Edwood for only a moment, and then several men slipped into the cabin.
Edwood was secretly relieved.
A moment later, the clerk led the soldiers out of the cabin, tore off a permit to enter the port, and said with a blank face: "Let the passengers take their luggage and get off the ship as much as possible, don't waste time The soldiers will do a thorough search." ”
The captain respectfully accepted the permission order, raised his head and shouted to the passengers around him: "I didn't hear the instructions of the adults, go get your luggage and bring your documents." ”
The passengers rushed into the cabin in a panic.
Soon, under the leadership of the pilot, the transport ship sailed into the port and docked.
A squad of soldiers was already waiting on the docks, blocking everything from bow to stern, and it was impossible to sneak out of the ship.
When the sailors put down the gangplank, the official on the dock said impatiently to the people on board: "Get off the boat and get off the boat." ”
The passengers, who had been at sea for several days, had grown impatient, and when they heard the rumors, they rushed down, and Edwood was swept up in the crowd and walked to shore with the flow of people.
When his feet were on the stones of the dock, Edwood secretly sighed in his heart, finally this place, this is the lair of that fellow in Lorraine, and all his secrets are hidden here.
Hmph, if you can get rid of our war fortress, I can also get rid of your artillery and other shells will be wonderful when they land on Lorraine's head.
Thinking of this rather ironic situation, Edwood couldn't help but smile knowingly.
"Hey, you~!old man," one soldier shouted at Edwood, "I'm deaf, I'm calling you." ”
Edwood was interrupted, and looked up at the soldier disapprovingly.
Seeing Edwood's cold gaze, the soldier couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart and extremely uncomfortable.
He frowned and said angrily: "Look at what to see, say you that, register." ”
Talking to the travelers who came and went on the docks hundreds of times a day, the patience of these soldiers had long since been exhausted, and their attitudes were very irritable.
"You come here, you registered. The soldier asked stiffly, taking out his clipboard.
Edwood glanced at the harbor and saw that there were soldiers inside and out, no less than two or three thousand, and in the middle of the crowd there were priests in white robes. There were even magicians flying in mid-air from time to time.
He couldn't help but gasp, the defense here is so tight~!
He was stunned when he heard the soldier next to him urge, "Hurry up, hurry up, old man." Take out the papers~!"
"What papers?" replied Edwood.
The soldier grimaced, put down the clipboard, looked at Edwood carefully, and said in a deep voice, "No papers, where are you from?" Forget it, come with me first. ”
Edwood looked up vigilantly, looked at the soldier, and said, "Come with you, where do you want to take me?"
At the same time, Edwood secretly gathered the mana in his hand, ready to strike at any time.
"Hi~!" The soldier put on a hat, tilted his head and said: "I said you old guy, what are you beeping without documents, if you want to come, you will follow, where is so much nonsense." ”
As he spoke, he went and grabbed Edwood's arm.
Edwood's body tightened, hesitating whether to strike immediately and kill from here... It's better to hold the ground and follow the soldiers to see what happens.
"Could it be that someone has seen through it, is there any danger?" said Edwood's thoughts.
"Uncle~!" At this time, against the flow of people leaving the port, a middle-aged man was sweating profusely, and was pushing and shoving forward, waving to Edwood while bouncing and waving, shouting: "Uncle, I'm here and there, don't move if you stay there~!"
Edwood was stunned for a moment, beckoning to him was a short, middle-aged man, with a complexion as black as iron, and a simple face, like a farmer who had worked with crops all his life.
Edwood let go of his hand and decided to wait and see.
The middle-aged man struggled to squeeze out of the crowd, trotted all the way to Edwood, and said breathlessly: "Uncle, you are finally here, I have been waiting for you for two days." ”
Then he turned around and bowed to the soldier and said, "This military master." This is my uncle, he is not from our Ruman, from a small place in the countryside. So I don't have any documents on me, I can vouch for it, you see, this is my proof. ”
The soldier took it and glanced at it, and said, "Xue Yana's .................. How long have you been immigrating?"
"It's been two years, and there's still a military master. Don't say I'm from Sheyana anymore. According to our immigration rules, I got my green card half a year ago. The middle-aged man patted his chest and said proudly: "We are now serious Naians." Taxes are paid every month. ”
"Uh.................. That's right. When the soldier heard that this was a taxpayer, he immediately changed his smile.
It's not surprising that Lord Luo has always been polite to these people who pay the money. Speaking of which, it is how other taxpayers are, and we should serve others. Although the people below are still very uneasy in their hearts, thinking that this is just another way for the lord to deceive people and pay money, at least on the surface, they are much more polite to these people.
"Okay, register and go. The soldier didn't suspect him, and just checked in and let the two of them leave the docks.
Walking out of the dock and leaving the group of soldiers behind, Edwood gasped slightly, looked at the middle-aged man, and said, "You are the Knicks?"
The middle-aged man sighed tiredly, nodded, and said, "It's me, you are the gentleman in the mouth of the big boss." I knew it wasn't going to be easy, but luckily it mentioned the gentleman's appearance. I've been here for three days, and I've finally waited for you. ”
Edwood said keenly, "What's wrong?"
"Hey, don't mention it," Nicks shook his head helplessly, "I heard that a lich suddenly appeared on the island of Edin and killed all the people on the island." Yes, it's that evil undead creature, it's so terrible that the whole island of Ettin Island is estimated to stink now.
It is said that that guy still has henchmen, and now the port cities of the whole continent are under martial law. The soldiers searched one by one. I was afraid that something would happen to you, but luckily I caught up. ”
"You say.................. What?" Edwood grabbed the Knicks' shoulder and said nervously, "What's wrong with Edin Island?"
Nix's shoulder was pinched and raised, and he grinned and hissed, "You let go first." ”
Edwood suddenly came to his senses, let go of Knicks' shoulders, and said, "Come on, what's wrong with Edin Island?"
Nicks rubbed his aching shoulders and said secretly in his heart: "This old guy is as thin as a ghost, why is his hand so strong."
Nick thought for a moment and said, "Five or six days ago, there was news here that a lich suddenly appeared on Edin Island, killing people everywhere and setting fires, and all the boats going to Edin Island stopped, and it is said that the entire island was destroyed. One day later, word came that there was more than one lich, and that the whole country should be on increased vigilance.
Now there are soldiers everywhere in and out of the city, and the work I am doing now has stopped. ”
Edwood hurriedly asked, "Did you catch the lich?"
Nix shook his head and said, "I haven't heard the news, but I heard that the peacekeepers have moved a large number of troops over." ”
Edwood was so angry that half of his face kept twitching, and he gritted his teeth and whispered, "Ussie Peter, you stupid, idiot, idiot~!"
Edwood felt like his life box was about to be blown up, and he had clearly planned well before parting, and after everyone was in place, he would act together in the last two days of the month.
Mainly secretly attacked, if discovered, run away and come back to another place.
As long as this plan is implemented well, it will be possible to paralyze several port cities of the Rumans at the same time and disrupt the rear routes of the peacekeeping forces.
Once their whereabouts are revealed, they attack from another place, and a dozen of their lichs can turn the entire human continent upside down.
Unexpectedly, it has only been a few days since he came out, and Usy Peter has already been exposed, and he is still surrounded by people on Edin Island.
"This idiot seems to be dead, how did I add him to the list in the first place. Ussy Peter said to himself.
Their intentions have been revealed, so that people are on guard, as in Nydel Harbor today, with a large number of soldiers and priests on the docks.
No matter how confident Edwood is in himself, he doesn't dare to act rashly, otherwise he will run for his life.
"But they didn't realize that I wasn't coming for the port. Edwood pondered the gains and losses in his heart: "Since the people are concentrated in the port, the factory in Lorraine must be negligent, so it is more convenient for me to start." ”
Seeing the ever-changing expression on Edwood's face, sometimes nervous and sometimes angry, the Knot wondered, "Are you nervous about Edin?"
Edwood said coldly, "There's an old friend of mine on the island. ”
Nix nodded, reassuring, "Maybe he's okay." It's useless for you to worry. ”
"I wish he had died. Edwood muttered under his breath.
Edwood followed Knicks around Nedle City for more than an hour, and then came to a separate courtyard not far from the city wall, and led Edwood in, Nix closed the door, pointed to the courtyard, and said, "This is where we live temporarily." ”
Edwood frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "Why is it so remote?"
Nicks sighed and said, "Nedel City is now at a premium, and my identity is a hawker selling spices in the streets, and living in the city will be confusing." It's very safe here, and the people who live here come to Nai An from other provinces and foreign countries to make a living. No one wants to be nosy. ”
The Knicks led Edwood into the room, glanced left and right, closed the door, and said, "What is the purpose of your visit?" ”!!!
