Chapter 377: The Old Place
Lucie's judgment was correct, and her behavior could not make Qin Hao feel the slightest dissatisfaction. But standing on top of Onexia's head, Qin Hao clenched his fists, his eyes split.
"Samael!"
He whispered the name in anger, his body trembling with rage.
Looking back at the Elven King City close at hand, the invisible barrier seemed weak but impregnable. The elves in the enchantment relied on this powerful barrier to completely eliminate the threat of the black dragons.
His gaze was raised, and he was just behind the city in the direction of not knowing how many miles, and he could even see the huge body of the Elven Sacred Tree from a distance. The canopy of the trees that covered the sky and the sun was juggling into the sky, which was unimaginable to ordinary people.
And this qiē seems to be close at hand, within reach - but it no longer makes sense.
There is no point in capturing the Elven King City, and there is no point in obtaining the power of the Sacred Tree of Life. Even if he used this method to liberate the army of the undead in the Void City, what could he salvage? Alone, he couldn't face the majesty of the Demon Emperor at all.
Qin Hao turned around and walked towards the heavenly dome in the distance, disappearing step by step from everyone's sight.
"It's time to withdraw, Netsario, and take your people back to the Golden Flower Sea. After a while, I will send my subordinates to contact you and discuss your placement. ”
Looking at Qin Hao's bleak back, listening to the thick exhaustion in the words of the undead monarch, the Black Dragon Patriarch hesitated for a moment, and respectfully watched Qin Hao's departure, "Master go slowly." ”
Lilia frowned at Qin Hao's back, and was about to catch up, but Erin reached out and grabbed her. The little girl turned around, only to see that Erin shook her head, "Let the master be alone, let's not disturb him." ”
Lilia thought for a moment and nodded a little discouraged. Obeyed Erin's advice. And Nesario began to gather his people, and the attacks of the black dragons gradually stopped, so under the gaze of the Elven King and others, after the disappearance of the undead monarch, the group of black dragons also turned away and disappeared into the distant sky.
Looking at the empty sky inside the light curtain, everyone looked at each other.
"Did something happen? Why did they all retreat?"

..................
Main plane, Cassania City.
Qin Hao walked on the streets of the capital of the Hillman Empire, looking at the street buildings around him that he didn't know at all, as well as the passers-by who were completely unfamiliar with him. There was a gray silence on his face, and there was no hope or light in his hollow and dim eyes.
As he walked to the square in front of the Imperial City, he paused slightly.
In front of him, in the center of the square, on the left and on the right, stood two huge sculptures tens of meters high. As the early morning sun shines down, two sculptures that seem to be guarding the city cast a large area of shadow on the square, and many elderly people can be seen exercising in the early morning sun.
Besides. There are also tourists who come here, as well as some children who live nearby. These people from different places and with very different identities gathered at the foot of the two sculptures to start a new day in the early morning light.
The statue on the left is a demon. Tall and hideous, with a certain powerful momentum that doesn't care about a qiē and moves forward bravely. The sword that he held tightly in his hand was raised high, and his lifelike face revealed a solemn calmness. It seems to be fighting fiercely against some terrible enemy.
The statue on the right is a human, although it is only a statue, but it has a cold and indifferent momentum. In the gaze that looks into the distance. There was a ruthless coldness, and it seemed that even the gods and demons could not move him.
This is the most famous landmark of the city of Cassania, the Statue of the Guardian.
According to legend, when the Hillman Empire was a small and isolated country, they encountered many powerful enemies and faced the danger of nearly losing their country several times. But it was the power of the two Guardians that protected the Hillman royal family, and the country survived countless waves of crisis, and eventually expanded, and finally became the leading power on the road, not far less than the three empires of Middle-earth.
Such legends add a lot of legend to the meaning of these two sculptures. As the Hillman Empire grew stronger and more famous, more and more people came from far and wide to see the legendary building.
Even many people from abroad have been tired from the journey after a long flight in airships and magic trains, and the purpose of coming to Cassania City is only to take a picture with these two legendary sculptures.
On the pedestals of each of the two sculptures, there is a stone slab carved out of obsidian, which inscribes in the lingua franca of the continent hundreds of years ago written by the great poet Calgas himself for the two guardians.
In addition to this, in the small square, there are many merchants and hawkers selling souvenirs.
The most sold were the small models of the two Guardians, followed by a few stalls with two-handed swords made in imitation of Wind Fantasy. The swords were identical in appearance to the Fantasy of the Wind, mostly made of wood, and a few of them made of metal - of course, even the more expensive ones were more of a work of art than they could be used to fight.
As for the other messy souvenirs, large and small, there are countless more.
When Qin Hao stood in the square and looked up at his own statue, someone gently pulled his sleeve. Looking back, Qin Hao saw two little girls around seventeen years old looking at him with some expectation.
"Big brother, can you please take a picture for us?"
As she spoke, one of the girls handed over the magic camera in her hand and looked at Qin Hao a little nervously, as if she was afraid that he would refuse.
Qin Hao was silent for a moment and nodded. He took the magic camera handed by the girl, watched the two girls pose in front of the sculpture, and took a few photos of them one after another.
"Thank you, kind big brother. ”
After taking pictures, he took the camera handed over by Qin Hao, and one of the girls smiled and thanked him, "To thank you, let's treat you to breakfast." ”
Qin Hao shook his head, "No need, it's just a gesture, no need to thank you." ”
"Oh, big brother, don't be shy, we won't eat you again," After contacting Qin Hao for a while, the two girls who were originally a little restrained also let go of their nervousness, and at this time, they ran over directly with a smile, pulling Qin Hao left and right, "It's just a breakfast, and you won't get pregnant." ”
Qin Hao couldn't help but smile bitterly, "You guys really dare to say anything." ”
However, he did not refuse forcefully, and let the two girls half-drag him into a restaurant near the square. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, although it is not a luxurious hotel, and it can only be regarded as a price for civilians, but that kind of elegant and quiet environment is not something that ordinary civilian restaurants can have.
"Big brother, are you a local?" When ordering, one of the girls popped out of the back of the menu and looked at Qin Hao curiously, "It's the first time for the two of us to come to Cassania City, and we don't know anything about the environment here, can Big Brother introduce any delicious food in Cassania City?"
This question stumped Qin Hao, none of the girls on the menu knew any of them, and Qin Hao didn't know either. Although he had lived in Cassania for a while, it had been more than a thousand years ago, and now that a thousand years later, everything had changed drastically, and he was not sure that the dishes from a thousand years ago still existed today.
Thinking about it sideways, Qin Hao finally asked the waiter if a few dishes in his memory were stored in zài, but he was relieved.
"Let's just serve these dishes," Qin Hao handed the menu to the two girls opposite and asked, "Do you want to add something?"
The waiter standing on one side wasted no time in introducing the two signature dishes in the restaurant, and then got the girls' consent and left the box with the menu. Looking out from here, through the transparent glass, Qin Hao could see the city streets outside, as well as the small square that was gradually becoming lively not far away.
The two girls chatted with Qin Hao with great interest, "Big brother, the dishes you just said are so strange, why did the waiter say that there are two dishes that I have never heard of? Could it be that those dishes are specialties from other places?"
"Actually, I'm not a local," Qin Hao said with a smile, spreading his hands, "I'm just like you, I'm a tourist here." As for the names of those dishes, I once read an epic book about the Heliman Empire, which mentions the previous dishes...... It's a pity that that was hundreds of years ago. ”
"Is that so?" the two girls suddenly realized, but one of them shook his head and said, "Big brother is not here for a tour, right?"
"Huh, why do you say that?"
"Because I don't see the slightest leisurely play in your eyes, big brother, I can only see the gloom of hesitation...... Big brother, are you bothered by any trouble?"
In the girl's concerned inquiry, Qin Hao smiled a little warmly, "Very keen observation, I have indeed been troubled by a certain trouble recently, and I have fallen into an embarrassing situation that I can't decide. I thought I was hiding deeply, but I didn't expect to be discovered by you so easily, you are very powerful. ”
The girl pinched the corner of her skirt a little embarrassed, and her face was a little red, "What...... How can you be so powerful? Big brother, don't praise me. (To be continued......)
