48. Post-disaster cities

"It's going to be like this again......"

NONO finally rejected Aisha - let her carry a bunch of muscular men to Kelly's guy? Don't even think about it! If you want to do this, let the big-mouthed woman see it, and it will be annoying in the future, NONO is sure that with that woman's ability, in less than two months, there will be a new after-dinner conversation in the tavern of the Celestial Realm!

NONO can bear to bear a bunch of notoriety on her back, because she knows that most of these guys who are scolding her behind her back will only tremble and beg for mercy when facing herself, but if she is laughed at by these people and talk about those "inexplicable" rumors......

The devil knows what the hell the building will look like in that environment.

Aisha, who failed to get NONO's consent, seems to be very unhappy and personally "transports" these poor people who have just escaped from the territory of the Grim Reaper. EVEN WITH AISHA'S EXPRESSION FULL OF RELUCTANCE, NONO DIDN'T EXPECT HER TO BE VERY GENTLE WITH THESE CELESTIALS.

Let's hope they don't lose a single part along the way......

"Speaking of which, is it necessary to make this kind of robe so dark?"

Wearing a completely different outfit from usual, NONO just felt very uncomfortable - this black robe, the color tone alone was very unpopular with NONO, she liked white, but this was not the point, what made her feel sincerely aggrieved was the shape of this dress.

"This kind of dress doesn't look like a serious person no matter how you look at it. Walking in the world of people on earth like this, isn't it really considered some dangerous element?"

In NONO's opinion, Aisha instigated the stupid snake Lori to make herself zuò's disguise. It's really full of malice. You know, she is different from the stupid snake who has no common sense, she is a "weapon" without independent thoughts, and she has learned a lot of "knowledge" in the intricate social world of human beings, and she knows all kinds of human feelings and sophistication very well.

It looked like the black robe that covered her body, and no matter how you looked at it, it looked like the uniform dress of some subtle cultist.

So you say you're that much like a villain?

NONO sighed helplessly—Aisha's phrase "looks like it suits you." gave NONO a critical blow on the spot, and then the snake Lori nodded in agreement, and made up for NONO's injured heart.

Aisha says it will help NONO with the task - but what does NONO think. I think it's just Aisha's own bad taste. If anything...... Well, it's easier to attract hostile eyes, it's easier to attract firepower, does that count?

Dress up like this to do wrecking work. That's really a terrorist.

"This kind of task. I really don't like it. ”

The reason why NONO agreed was because Aisha's request did not exceed NONO's bottom limit. After all, Aisha is not a madman who likes to stir up chaos and take pleasure in wailing and blood, and although she says that she wants NONO to help make some "big news" to distract the "Throat of the World", she does not specify how to implement it...... ALTHOUGH NONO BEGINS TO SUSPECT AISHA'S INTENTIONS AFTER AISHA MALICIOUSLY THROWS HER A CULTIST-LIKE OUTFIT.

Most of this dress is going to be besieged, right? Could it be that she hopes to use this method to "force" herself to do it?

“...... Give it a try. Let's see where Aisha's faith is. ”

NONO finally believed that the strong man who had the ability to subdue him. I don't have such a boring mind.

......

When NONO came to the town closest to the "Throat of the World", the big snow mountain, to NONO's surprise, the guards on duty at the south gate of the city did not even come forward to check on her. This made NONO, who was thinking about starting a good show, suddenly feel a punch on the cotton.

She looked up at the sign, which read the name "Swain City...... It doesn't sound like a strange name. At least, it's not at all like the Lawless Zone of Sin City in many stories.

"It's a mouthful name......"

It seems that the name of the city has been simplified - next to the sign, there is the full name, but after trying to read the name, NONO also understands why it has been simplified.

Sgay Apbib Bibhutwin...... Why do you always feel that there is a subtle malice in this name?"

THEN NONO LOOKED AT THE GUARDS - ALTHOUGH THE CITY WAS NOT VERY CROWDED DUE TO ITS REMOTE LOCATION, IT WAS NOT COMPLETELY ABSENT, AND MOST OF THE OTHER PEDESTRIANS WHO CAME AND WENT WERE ALSO QUESTIONED AND CHECKED BY THE GUARDS...... These guards don't look like they're slacking off.

Then why didn't anyone come up to check on him?

NONO is still very "confident" in his current dress, and he doesn't dare to say anything else, "dangerous" and "weird" two atmospheres, but they are well conveyed from above, and it is strange not to make people wary!

Could it be that Aisha has applied some enchantment effect on this, so that it has an effect similar to optical camouflage? However, NONO is also in the Elven Forest, and has spent a lot of effort on analyzing the enchantment equipment of the elf clan, and she can be sure that there are no traces of enchantment on this black robe, which is what Aisha used to let Snake Lori practice.

In terms of defense, it's almost equal to nothing - so what other use does this thing have than to dress yourself up like a dangerous element!

NONO, PUZZLED, AND WITH THE INTENTION OF TRYING, SHE WALKED IN THE DIRECTION OF THE TWO GUARDS. AS A RESULT, WHEN SHE APPROACHED THE TWO GUARDS, BEFORE SHE COULD SPEAK, THE OTHER PARTY FIRST SALUTED NONO, AND ASKED WITH A HINT OF TREPIDATION ON HIS FACE:

"Honorable Mage, may I ask if there is anything we can help you with?"

In the rhetoric, there is no previous arrogant attitude towards those citizens.

This time. NONO was also stunned by the other party's attitude, she was ready to meet the other party's questioning, but she didn't expect it. The other party turned out to be such a ...... Approximate servile attitude.

Wait, what did they just call themselves? Like...... Master Mage?

AFTER CHEWING ON WHAT THE TWO GUARDS CALLED HIM, NONO FINALLY UNDERSTOOD THE RELATIONSHIP - PRESUMABLY, THE OTHER PARTY THOUGHT OF HIMSELF AS A WANDERING MAGE, RIGHT?

This is why NONO doesn't know much about the "customs" of the earthly world. In the celestial realm, such a dress is basically preaching one's own weirdness and danger, a proper factor of social instability, but in the earthly world. Although this kind of dress is not necessarily how "safe and reliable", there is a special group of people. It is also generally favored.

Well, in fact, the thinkers are given a strange impression by the world, and you can understand more or less that this kind of people are in this category. How much I don't pay attention to my own image in normal times. This was not the time when Aisha lived in which magic had become largely utilitarian. At this time, there are still not many people who are qualified and capable of learning magic. And in this era of magic education, it is not like the future, what is cultivated is a simple mobile battery, more or less, there are some places that are out of touch with ordinary people's society.

I don't know who took the lead, anyway in this era. Cover yourself in gray and black robes, and make yourself as gloomy as a spider's web in a corner. Among the mages, there is also a popular wind. Maybe it's because they want to hide their sense of existence and make themselves appear less conspicuous? But the problem is that the mages who study magic don't feel it themselves, but in the eyes of others, these strong people who use special powers have an aura in their bones that is very easy to distinguish.

Also wearing a tattered robe, whether it is a vagabond or a magician, as long as the eyes are not bad and the brain is not rotten, you should be able to tell the difference.

Not all mages are like that, but as long as a group of people form a scale, it is enough for people to associate this costume with "mages with strange personalities". Therefore, in the eyes of many people, NONO's outfit is actually showing her danger.

After all, the aura that NONO inadvertently swayed that belonged to a strong man would not make people associate her with the homeless.

As for whether this "Master Mage" is good or evil, in fact, these guards don't want to care at all-because with their strength, even if they know, what if they know? They can't care at all, if the other party is really a dangerous person, it will only increase the danger of killing if they anger the other party! Because of this, when NONO walked towards the two guards, their hearts were about to jump out of their throats.

If they could, they definitely didn't want to have anything to do with such a deposit. But now, even if they are 10,000 unwilling in their hearts, they dare not show the impatience in their hearts in the slightest...... Otherwise, God knows if he will be slapped in the face by the other party's fireball! It's hard to say anything else, but presumably the city lord will never offend a powerful mage for the sake of the two of them.

"I'm just asking a simple question. ”

NONO didn't intend to hide her voice at all, still using her original cold voice - the two guards visibly trembled when they heard the voice of the mysterious mage shrouded in black robes turn out to be a young girl. Of course, they will not rethink the danger of this girl because of this.

After being a guard for so many years, there is no other level, and the actual combat effectiveness is not guaranteed, but with a pair of eyes, they are still relatively confident - who is an ordinary man, who must be given to the above, and who needs to be dealt with carefully, they are all clear. And the momentum exuded by the girl "mage" in front of him was even more suffocating than the so-called "knife head licking blood" mercenaries they had seen.

If they couldn't even see this, they wouldn't have to stay in this oily and watery position. Again, for those ordinary people, they are characters that cannot be provoked, but in the eyes of others, their lives are insignificant.

"You...... What do you want to know? As long as we know, we will know everything!"

"What happened here before?"

"Uh......"

"What's wrong? Can't answer, or is it something else?" NONO said in a cold, unwavering tone. But in the ears of the two guards, there was a sense of dissatisfaction with them, and a faint anger! They were suddenly in a hurry.

"No, no, no, how could it be~" beads of sweat oozed from the guard's forehead, "It's just that we don't know, what kind of news does Master Mage want to ask?"

“...... The recent, the biggest. ”

NONO just said these two words, and the two guards immediately understood that this "Master Mage" was from stomach cancer or something—obviously. What she was referring to must have something to do with the earthquake, right?

"You're here because of that earthquake?"

"Earthquakes, maybe...... I sensed something unusual going on here, so I rushed here - earthquake?" NONO looked up at the walls. Inadvertently, the brim of her hat was lifted to reveal her delicately over-the-top face, which immediately took the minds of the two guards, "But. on the city walls. There doesn't seem to be any trace. ”

"The walls used to guard the city are naturally much stronger...... But as long as you enter the city, you can see that in fact, most of the people's houses have been destroyed, and even our city lord's palace has been reduced to ruins. ”

"Is that so?"

NONO put his hand on the wall and stroked it carefully. I couldn't help but nodded: "The city wall is well built." ”

It's not a perfunctory thing, it's a city in the middle of nowhere. The walls are indeed very strong, and although NONO has not seen many cities with people on the ground, it is extremely rare to say that with an average level of craftsmanship, it is extremely rare to be able to achieve this kind of process.

"If you want to sleep open, we might be in trouble right now......"

"It's okay, I'm not here to stay. ”

NONO pulled down her hood again, covering her beautiful face, and walked towards the interior of the city without looking back, leaving behind a slender back, but it made the two guards quite reluctant - although the voice was cold, and the aura was also a little chilly in the bottom of the heart, but I have to say that that face really made people think about it......

As for what this beautiful girl "mage" wanted to do when he came here, the two guards looked at each other for a moment, and finally shook their heads helplessly - this kind of thing is really not something that a little minion like them can know. Even from the attitude of the other party, it can be felt that there was a special reason for the earthquake, but so what?

They just have to worry about this gate, and other things...... Whatever.

================

STROLLING THROUGH THE RUINED CITY OF SWAIN, NONO CONFIRMED AT LEAST ONE THING - THAT STUPID SNAKE LORI, MAYBE SOME OF THEM ARE BUSY.

If according to her previous table, the snake Lori could not attack the innocent, and now, in this city alone, there are more than ten hundred people who have lost their homes because of the earthquake she caused?

If you really want to count all this on the head of Snake Lori, I don't know, how to deal with this idiot.

"Is this the town where life is alive on earth?"

Although the scope of "people on the ground" is very wide, it is indeed the most representative of human beings, and NONO, who saw a human town for the first time, looked around curiously. Even though the place has been reduced to ruins due to a sudden earthquake, and many houses have been reduced to pieces, it is not difficult for NONO to recreate the original scene in his mind.

Compared to those cities in the Celestial Realm, these cities, which are completely located on the thick earth, seem to give NONO a more dense and simple feeling. Perhaps because of the remoteness of the city, NONO restored the original appearance of the city, and it didn't look like there were many gorgeous colors, and the houses were all simple and simple.

And the cities of the Heavenly Realm, in comparison, even some remote cities, look more gorgeous. PERHAPS, THIS IS BECAUSE THE FOCUS OF THE CIVILIZATION DEVELOPED BY THE TWO WORLDS IS DIFFERENT? AFTER COMPARISON, NONO CAN ONLY SAY THAT THE CIVILIZATION OF THE CELESTIAL REALM IS RELATIVELY CLOSER TO SOME OF THE WORLDS IN WHICH SHE USED TO LIVE, AND ITS APPLICATION IN PEOPLE'S LIVELIHOOD IS MUCH STRONGER THAN THAT OF THE EARTHLY WORLD.

"Then again, the traces of destruction of this kind of Cheng dù...... The magnitude of the earthquake is not small. ”

Just as NONO was looking around the city that had just suffered a disaster, she noticed that the crowd not far away suddenly made a commotion.

After such a catastrophe, the inhabitants of this area have become almost "refugees" in the truest sense of the word – but they are much better off than homeless refugees in the true sense of the word. Since aftershocks do not strike in waves like normal earthquakes, even those who were initially crushed by the collapsed houses were lucky enough to escape multiple injuries, and in the end, most people persevered until help arrived.

In fact, it's nothing, there are always neighbors who are willing to take a hand.

Along the way, NONO also found that the residents who had lost their homes had begun to organize themselves to try to clean up their collapsed houses. The building structure here is basically a small structure of one to two floors, and it is relatively not so easy to cause fatal injuries when it collapses, and it is not too difficult to clean it up. If it is replaced by a city in the Heavenly Realm, I am afraid it will be difficult for the people to deal with it themselves...... However, with the environment of the celestial realm, if there is an earthquake in a city...... Hehe.

Of course, with that kind of terrain, it is impossible for such a natural disaster to occur.

What happened?

NONO saw a strange expression on the faces of these people - schadenfreude.

Although it cannot be denied that such a thoughtful guy will also have after a natural disaster, but in any case, it will not appear on a large scale, right? In all fairness, this kind of expression is likely to cause the people around him to be angry on the occasion at present......

NONO decided to follow along to find out. (To be continued......)
