Chapter 281: The Situation in the Western World
"I see, let's rest for the night, and we'll go to the guy named Bill early tomorrow morning and ask him to return the territory. ”
"Thank you, sir!"
Haotian thought that the old man would be very happy, but the old man showed a lack of interest. Haotian didn't know that the old man's mind was no longer on how to regain the territory, but on how to please Haotian and Yaochi.
"Take us to a resting place!"
"Yes, please come with me, two adults. The old man made a gesture of please, then turned to the little girl and said, "You go to Yali's restaurant to buy a dinner for the two adults and come back." After the old man finished speaking, he handed the little girl two gold coins, the little girl looked at the two gold coins in the old man's hand, and a trace of pain flashed on her face, these two gold coins were enough for her and her grandfather for half a year.
"Don't go yet. When the old man saw the little girl's expression, he angrily scolded her.
When the little girl heard the old man's scolding, she took the gold coin from the old man's hand in a panic and ran out in a panic. The old man looked at the little girl's panicked back helplessly, and he turned around and apologized to Haotian: "The child is not sensible, please forgive the two adults." ”
"Lead the way!" Haotian opened his mouth, and finally just said these three words.
"Yes!"
The old man took Haotian and Yaochi to the second floor, and the old man opened a room and said to Haotian and Yaochi: "Two adults, this room is prepared by me for Lord Ax, now please let the two adults stay in it for one night." ”
Although the room is not big, the furniture inside is very exquisite, giving people a comfortable feeling. After Haotian looked at it, a satisfied expression appeared on his face.
"The two adults will rest first, and when the dinner is bought back, I will serve it to the two adults. The old man respectfully saluted Haotian and Yaochi, and slowly retreated.
"What's going on with that courtyard, junior sister?" After the old man left, Haotian asked Yaochi curiously.
"Senior brother, I told you the history of this world before, right?"
"Yes!" Haotian nodded.
"Because this world is facing destruction, the people of this world have come up with a way: that is, to open up a small world, and then constantly strengthen the barriers of the small world, in order to resist the erosion of the power of nothingness, and this place has become the land of hope by the people of this world!" Yao Chi slowly explained the origin of the courtyard to Haotian.
After Haotian knew the origin of the courtyard, he lost interest in the courtyard, "Senior sister, do you know the reason for the destruction of this world?"
"This ......" Yao Chi also had a puzzled expression on her face when she heard Haotian's question, she had probed this world with her divine sense when she came to this world. The origin of this world is only a cut away from the flood wilderness, but this world seems to have completed a reincarnation, and everything in the world is returning to reincarnation. Although this world is in a normal reincarnation, Yao Chi still feels that something is wrong, but he doesn't know what is wrong.
Seeing Yao Chi's puzzled expression, Haotian opened his mouth and asked, "What's the matter, junior sister?"
"It's nothing, the world is going through immeasurable calamities. Yaochi didn't tell Haotian about the doubts in his heart, but just casually found an excuse to perfunctory Haotian.
"Oh, that'......"
"Tuk Tuk!" was about to ask Haotian when there was a knock at the door.
"My lord, I brought dinner. The little girl's frightened voice came from outside the door.
"Come in. ”
The little girl outside the door pushed open the door after hearing Haotian's voice, and walked in timidly, and after the little girl put down the tray in her hand, she stood next to Haotian and Yaochi. When Haotian saw the little girl's scared look, he asked angrily, "Are the two of us scary?"
The little girl first nodded reflexively before she realized what she had done, and she quickly shook her head frantically. Haotian looked at the little girl with a frightened face, first sighed, and then said to the little girl with a smile on his face that he thought was kind: "You haven't eaten yet, this piece of meat is for you." Haotian picked up a few skewers of meat and handed them to the little girl.
The little girl looked at the meat in Haotian's hand and swallowed her saliva, then shook her head, although the little girl shook her head, but Haotian saw the desire in his eyes, and he said angrily: "Give it to you, you will take it." The little girl hesitated for a moment, then took the meat from Haotian's hand, and then ran out.
"Am I that terrible?" Haotian asked Yaochi a little speechlessly, Yaochi glanced at Haotian and continued to eat what he was holding.
Early the next morning, as soon as the little girl Tia got up, she saw Haotian and Yaochi sitting on a stool in the hall. As soon as the little girl saw Haotian and Yaochi, she fled back to her house with a whoosh. After Haotian and Yaochi saw it, they glanced at each other and found that each other had a speechless expression on their faces.
"Forgive me, two adults, the little one is late. As soon as the old man walked out of the room, he saw Haotian and Yaochi sitting on a stool, so he hurriedly ran over to ask for guilt.
"It's okay, it's the two of us who got up early, you get ready, we'll go find that guy named Bill now. Haotian saw that the old man wanted to kneel, so he waved his hand to stop him.
After listening to Haotian's words, the old man went to the little girl Tia's room and chatted for a few minutes, then walked up to Haotian and said respectfully: "The little one is ready, and he can set off at any time." ”
"Let's go!"
After the old man heard Haotian's words, he took Haotian and them out. Haotian and Yaochi followed the old man on the streets of Sky Wolf City and found that many people would enter a place called the Blood Accumulation Hall.
"What is Mark doing in that place?" Haotian asked curiously, pointing to the Blood Accumulation Hall.
After the old man heard Haotian's question, he looked at Haotian with a somewhat strange gaze, what kind of place the Blood Accumulation Hall was, everyone in the whole continent knew it, and Haotian didn't know what this place was for, which made the old man a little strange.
"My senior brother has always lived in the courtyard and doesn't know much about the mainland. ”
When Haotian was about to explain, Yaochi took the lead in helping Haotian explain. After the old man heard Yao Chi's explanation, his face showed an expression of sudden realization, and he hurriedly explained to Haotian: It turned out that the human beings in the area occupied by the blood clan must contribute a certain amount of blood to the blood clan every month, and if they don't pay the blood on time, they will become blood slaves if they are caught.
"Then why don't these people run away?"
"Alas!" After the old man took a breath of talk, he slowly spoke: "Where can you escape to? Compared to the people in the angel territory and the imperial territory who were exploited by the church and the nobles, the human race in the demon territory was used as food, and the human race in the blood clan territory lived quite well. ”
After listening to the old man's words, Haotian fell silent.
