Volume 1 Another World Chapter 258 A glimmer of life
Juan changed into tattered clothes, and when he entered Irving City, he picked up a wooden stick from the side of the road and held it.
The guard at the gate didn't stop him too much, but just asked a few words before letting Juan into the city.
Juan also said that the guard was kind-hearted and wanted to save his life, but when he was about to turn back, the two guards suddenly started talking.
"It's a beggar, and it looks like the research department has another test item. ”
"Yes, this person is also pitiful, he wants food to come here, but he really doesn't open his eyes. Brother, you said that we always do this kind of hurtful thing, will we suffer retribution in the future?"
"What kind of retribution is not retribution, we entered the dark church, that is the iron rice bowl of the 10,000-year prison, it is said that our dark lord is even afraid of the emperor of the empire, what is this mere called Hanako?"
"Yes, brother, it's still what you want, little brother, I have to learn more. ”
“............”
The two chatted lively, their voices were low, and they were far away, so they were not afraid of Juan hearing it at all, but they didn't know that Juan was the wolf king, and his ear power was the best, so the content of their conversation reached Juan's ears word for word.
Juan shook his head, he was still tender, no wonder the Holy Lord slaughtered the city, but the people who felt this Owen City deserved to die.
Thinking of this, Juan had deep doubts about whether there were good people in Irving City. In desperation, Juan had no choice but to continue walking, encountering all kinds of pedestrians along the way, but in his heart, there was no compassion.
Juan turned a few corners and came to a snack stall, not so hungry, just a little bored.
The people in this small stall are very simple, there is only an old man and a doll, the old man is not young, but the doll is no more than five or six years old.
Juan came to him with a hunched body, coughed a few times and said, "This old man, I have traveled here, I am really hungry and panicked, you can do well, get me some food, I thank you." ”
The old man raised his eyes and looked at it, sighed softly and said, "You don't have to be like this, you sit down, I'll give you some hot soup to drink first, and then there are some leftover wheat cakes from yesterday, you can take them too." ”
Juan squeezed out a smile and sat at the table waiting, and after a short time, the old man brought out a bowl of hot broth.
Juan took a few sips of it, thinking that it tasted really good.
After a while, the old man took a few more wheat cakes and handed them to Juan and said, "Hurry up and eat, eat more, and you will be on the road in a while......
The word "on the road" was a little heavier, and Juan couldn't hear it.
"Old man, is there anything I can do in this city of Owen? I'm tall and strong, and I can do a little coolie. ”
The old man opened his mouth and was about to speak, when the little doll said in a milky voice: "Grandpa, is this man a beggar? Will someone come to arrest him at that moment?"
The old man sighed again and said: "The child's family is not sensible, don't care, in short, eat more, don't be that starving ghost." ”
Hu Anxin already has a number, it seems that what the city gate guards said must be true.
"Old man, are you reminding me?"
The old man looked around to see no one, and said in a low voice: "When you are full, go quickly, there has been an accident at the research institute recently, it is estimated that people will not come too quickly, you still have a chance to live, from here to the south, follow this street to the end, then turn right, and then south, there is a small road over there to get out of the city, you are full and have the strength, maybe you can run faster, don't be caught by people in black, otherwise your life will be rest......"
Juan nodded when he heard this: "Old man, if you do this, aren't you afraid of those people's revenge?"
The old man smiled bitterly and said: "I won't tell you, almost all of the people in this Owen City have joined the church, and I am no exception, but this research institute is hurtful, I really can't get used to it, I used to live alone, and in the end, it was inevitable that the loess would be added to a hundred, but now it ......."
The old man looked at the little doll kindly: "Now that I have a grandson, I really don't want this child to bear a share of the karma, so it is one person who can save one person......
Juan looked at the doll and said, "Old man, is this your own grandson?"
The old man shook his head and said: "No, it's a long story, for some reason, there are suddenly many more children in this research institute, after the accident a few days ago, these children were left unattended, so Director Sainz asked the people in the city to adopt them, and I also adopted one of the old children, which is this doll." ”
Juan seems to have the impression that when he came to rescue Bart a while ago, he had seen a lot of babies at the bottom of the floor, and although he had already killed at that time, he would not be able to mutilate the babies, so he didn't care. Could it be these children? That's not right, it's only been a few days, how can these children grow so fast?
The old man touched the doll's head and said: "I named him Brahms, this child is extremely smart, and he learns everything very quickly. ”
Juan pondered for a moment and said, "Old man, haven't you ever thought about leaving Owen City?"
The old man said: "How easy is it! You don't know the power of the dark church, once you join the church, you can't betray it for life, otherwise you won't have a place to bury." ”
Juan smiled and said, "Old man, if I save your life, are you willing to leave?"
The old man was stunned when he heard this: "You, hehe, you yourself are still difficult to protect, can you still protect me?"
Juan straightened up, and his gaze suddenly sharpened: " Old man, you have a good heart, I will no longer hide it from you, this Owen City will be destroyed in less than ten days, just now you gave me a meal, has accumulated a great yin virtue, listen to my advice, I and you gold coin thousand, immediately take this child out of Owen City, if there is no place to go, you can go south, there is no risk along the way, I will write you another letter, take the letter and go straight to the principality of Kobo, since someone will give you a livelihood, from now on, take your grandson to live that free and easy life. ”
The old man Leng Keke listened, but he didn't react for a long time, until Juan handed him a thousand gold coins, and then said with a look of surprise: "You...... You...... But what you're saying is true?"
Juan smiled and said: "Old man, don't worry, I am the Left Governor of the Heavenly Sect of the Burial Dragon Valley, named Juan, and when you arrive in the Principality of Kebo, you will understand." ”
The old man held a thousand gold coins, his face changed, and finally he stomped his feet and said: "That's it! I have been cowering all my life, I have no opinions, and now the catastrophe is imminent, and I have to be tough once! This lord, although my stall is small, but the news is well-informed, in recent years, the Burial Dragon Valley has beaten the dark church to a great injury, the old man knows very well, it is very the opportunity of our father and son, if I don't seize it, it will be really stupid." Okay, my lord, let's pack our bags......"
Juan waved his hand and said: "What is there to clean up in this small shop, this thousand gold coins is enough for you to buy the next property, now take the children and leave quickly." ”
The old man patted his head and said, "Yes, yes, yes, grandson, grandpa will treat you to a good place, how about being happy from now on?"
The doll blinked and said, "Well, grandpa, I'll go wherever you go, we don't want this shop, let's go!"
Juan laughed and said, "What a smart boy!"
After that, the figure disappeared without a trace.
Seeing this, the old man was even more convinced, and pulled up his grandson and left.
Juan secretly protected the pair until the pair left the city and returned to Owen City.
In the next few days, Juan persuaded several good people one after another, and this time, even he felt that the merit was immeasurable.
The same is true of the members of the assassination team, who spent a lot of gold in ten days, but each of them felt extremely comfortable in their hearts.
Ten days passed quickly, and Juan arrived at midnight on the ninth day in a dense forest south of Irvine City, as promised, and the members of the assassination force had already arrived.
Parker said: "Ancestor, I have counted it, in the past ten days, a total of 135 people have been persuaded away, and 300,000 gold coins have been spent. ”
Juan nodded, "There are about nine million people in this city, and we've done our best. ”
Parker asked, "Ancestor, we persuaded so many people, what about the rest?"
Juan sighed and said, "The Holy Lord is determined to slaughter this city and avenge Bart!"
Parker was shocked when he heard this, but then said: "Yes, it should be like this, the little master was brutally tortured and killed, and this is not enough for tens of millions of people, in my opinion!"
Juan glanced at him and said, "Phew, at such a young age, why is the murderous intent so heavy?"
Parker disagreed: "Ancestor, the Holy Lord once taught me that if you want to succeed, you should not be informal, and mortals are just ants!"
"You!" Juan choked up, but didn't dare to refute, angrily slapped Parker on the back of the head, "Can you learn better?"
Parker stiffened his neck and said, "Old Ancestor, did you say that the Holy Bishop is not good?"
"You, you, you stinky boy......"

Liu Fu hurried to catch up a little late, and only built the mine-guiding platform in the early morning of the 10th, but there were really a few materials that were difficult to find.
As soon as it was built, Liu Xuan arrived with Miao Poison.
"Well, this thunder platform is well built," Liu Xuan praised and didn't mention anything on the side, and Liu Fu breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Xuan sat in the middle of the thunder channel, under the spirit flag, looked at the direction of Owen City and said: "The qi in this city is not weak, but it is just right, if the qi is strong, the society will be stable, and the thunder attracted will definitely be earth-shattering, and it will be very beneficial to what I need." ”
Liu Fu nodded and said: "Holy Lord, the first two days have been full of good news, Les Harbor City, Miamas City, Urmon City and Roonburg have all been taken, and it is very smooth, and now Zeng Jia has commanded Alvin and them to form a defensive line. ”
Liu Xuan hummed and said, "Is there any movement over there in the empire?"
Liu Fudao: "At the beginning, the two legions of Qinglong and Chilong sent a small group of people to tempt, but they were all blocked back by Zeng Jia, and now there seems to be no action. ”
Liu Xuan sneered and said: "I have said a long time ago, if it comes to strategy, Harvey is far from being the opponent of the lord of the empire, and now he dares to send troops to test me, and when the Northern Expedition is half a year later, this old fox will have two hearts." ”
Liu Fu nodded and said, "Holy Master, there is one more thing I need you to show. ”
"Speak. ”
Liu Fu looked at Miao Poison and said, "Alan that kid...... He thought...... He wanted to watch this alchemy......"
Liu Xuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled: "This kid has always been kind-hearted, can he see such a scene?"
Miao Poison continued: "The Holy Lord doesn't know, Alan is now intoxicated with alchemy, and he seems to be a little crazy, so I want to borrow your hand to break his delusion, this son's achievements in the Dan Dao in the future are really limitless, so I hope the Holy Lord will be fulfilled!"
Liu Xuan pondered for a moment and said: "It's okay, go and bring Alan here, there is also Anpu's granddaughter, that girl is also a Dan Dao Wizard, Taiqing Five Thunder Returning to Heaven Dan is a Dao Dan, which is different from what they have learned, if you miss it this time, you don't know when you will have the opportunity to see it." ”
Miao Poison was overjoyed, and immediately bowed down to Shane, and then his body shook and disappeared.
