Planeswalker My Plane War

Chapter 496 Ask
Two people are walking in the dark street.

The city that was just affected by the flames of war is now extremely empty.Originally, there were no people on the street at night like this, but at least there would be some lights coming from the windows.But now, even the buildings on both sides of the street are dark, like dead giants, lifeless and lifeless.Most of the city's residents fled and have yet to return.At this point in time, no one will know whatever is going on in the city.

People on the earth can't help but think of the poem "the dark moon kills the night, the wind is high and the sky is set on fire".

"Zhang Cheng, what were you laughing at just now?" Alicia was still a little concerned about Zhang Cheng's smile just now.

"I'm not laughing... If I have to say it, I'm laughing at myself." Zhang Cheng said. "I underestimated the heroes of the world."

"Underestimate? What do you mean? You mean... my father?"

"Well, yeah. The situation in Lulian City is unstable right now. I thought your father might, um, need a little extra help. Now it seems that I am definitely thinking too much. Alicia, do you practice every day? Sword...I mean, you put most of your energy into exercising?"

"Of course." Alicia replied naturally.To be promoted to the rank of hero at a young age is not just due to her talent.She also worked hard enough—more than the average person, in fact—to get this far.

"But your father, um, I mean the Earl, doesn't he spend that much time exercising?"

"Isn't this normal?" Alicia was obviously puzzled. "He's got a lot of territory to deal with. Besides, he's too old for high-intensity exercise."

When the age reaches a certain stage, the body will lose its potential, and it will not be able to make further progress in personal combat power.This is common sense.Why did Zhang Cheng ask this?

"That's right, so your father is actually very powerful." Zhang Cheng replied. "A mere Lulian city is nothing to worry about. Earl Gellert used to be lax in the management of the city - he mainly focused on personal enjoyment, for the sake of flexibility, he could sacrifice order - so that smugglers were rampant. So now it has become, Hmm, hidden danger."

Alicia's face was even more confused, she had a very strong feeling that the donkey's head was wrong with the horse's mouth.I don't understand what Zhang Cheng wants to say.

"Tonight, the Earl will be very busy." Zhang Cheng continued. "No time for sleep. Do you know what I mean?"

Alicia shook her head.

"Interesting... well, let me explain. The new lord doesn't want a sneaky way in and out of his city at all. It's actually an imminent danger - who knows if someone in the city has an inheritance Wouldn't the people in the world quietly disappear and reappear quietly?"

"Didn't you say that all the people with the right to inherit in the city are dead? We just held a funeral for Earl Gellert's family." Although the ceremony is very simplified, Alicia believes that everyone can make no mistake.The previous lord's family is indeed dead - the Dragonites do a great job of this, leaving no room for ambiguity.

"Although people with strong claims to the local area have been confirmed to have died immediately, people with weak claims are also a problem." Zhang Cheng replied. "So they will all die tonight. This is not a difficult matter, but a delicate matter. I am afraid that our Lord Earl will need to do it himself to ensure its completion. And tomorrow," Zhang Cheng faced the stunned Alicia. "A new batch of corpses will be cleared from the rubble."

"You mean... my father is killing innocent people? He's a bad guy?"

"No, no, he's not a bad guy. He's just a good politician," Zhang Cheng said. "So you see, we're in charge of the last part of the mission... making sure no one can escape the city."

While speaking, he stopped and looked at an equally unpopular building in front of him.

"What's wrong here?" Alicia asked, she didn't know what was so special about this house.

"This is where a friend of mine lives." Zhang Cheng said. "His name is Worm, and he's a magician. But I don't know if he'll be a friend." He smiled at the house again.

"Huh?" Alicia was puzzled for a moment. "You mean he was killed by the dragon people?"

"It's nothing, let's continue." Zhang Cheng led the way, and the two quickly arrived at the shop they had come to inquire about before.

In the window of the shop, there was actually a faint light.

"This is..." Alicia also remembered what this place was.In just a few days, Alicia changed from a "hidden prisoner's family" to a "lord's daughter".This span is not insignificant.He had to disguise himself before he could follow Zhang Cheng into the street, but now he walks down the street fully armed.

"Alesia, you stand guard at the door, I'll go in." Zhang Cheng said. "If he escapes, don't hesitate to kill him immediately."

At the word "kill," he narrowed his eyes and seemed happy.

"Okay." Alicia replied.She already understood that the shopkeeper must be related to the group of smugglers.That's all in the past, now that's the reason to die.

Zhang Cheng reached out and took out a card, blessed himself with a protective spell, and then pushed the door open.Very unexpectedly, the door was not locked, and it opened as soon as he pushed it.

"Who?!" came a vigilant voice.Zhang Cheng looked up, and saw the old man sitting on the seat, holding a musket in his hand. The matchlock on the musket was burning, like the eyes of some bloodthirsty creature, looking maliciously at the beginner.

"Hey," Zhang Cheng spread his hands, signaling that he was harmless. "We meet again."

"Go out, it's closed today," the old man said.But Zhang Cheng had already locked the door casually.

"Get out! Do you hear me!" the old man shouted violently.But this door is very strong, and the sound insulation effect is good, so if you do something inside, Alicia outside will not be able to hear it.She is just a knight, her fighting instinct may be good, but her hearing is only at the level of an ordinary person.

A black shadow in the air suddenly rose and fell, the old man let out a miserable howl, and the musket in his hand fell to the ground.But Xiao Huihui jumped up and bit off the old man's finger.Xiao Huihui's teeth can even bite through metal, let alone human bones and flesh.

Xiao Huihui's appearance is very confusing, no matter who it is, it is easy to ignore its existence.

The old man wanted to get the gun again in pain, but this time he had no chance, and stepped on the gun with one foot.He slowly raised his eyes and saw the creepy smile on Zhang Cheng's face.

"I think I should have the final say on today's rules." Zhang Cheng said.

"When...Of course..." The old man let go of his hand and stood up again.Big drops of sweat oozed from his forehead, making his already dry face look like it was soaked in water.

"I was introduced by Worm..." Zhang Cheng said. "Warm hinted at you?"

"Yes... that's true..."

"What did he hint at you?" Zhang Cheng asked with interest.

"He hinted... wanted your money, because you're rich..." replied the old man.He didn't know what the other party wanted to do, but right now he could only follow the other party's words.How could he dare to refute now.

That puppy staring at him... No, it's not a puppy anymore.Standing on the side at the moment is a chubby cute puppy, which has long since turned into an elemental creature, a lava dog the size of a calf.The lava dog's eyes were red, as if flashing with never-ending anger.You don't need anything else, just look at the completely unnatural and terrifying fangs and you will know what it is like to be bitten by this thing.

"The answer is wrong." Zhang Cheng replied. "I'll give you a chance, but I'll only give you one chance. Who wants to deal with me? Is it you? It's for money? Or a trap that was designed long ago."

"No... I don't... I don't know anything."

"Hey, look." Zhang Cheng said. "Every time I want to ask some serious questions, I always get nothing but lies." He sighed, and took out the "brain-eating evil spirit" and "silent pistol" from his pocket.

There are complicated patterns on the side of the card, and the pattern of the brain-eating evil spirit is in the middle, and the description of this card is at the bottom of the card.

"Brain-eating evil spirits: This creature originated from the shadow plane, but soon branched out in many worlds. They are not very powerful, and they are not good at fighting, but as long as they are given a complete head or brain , they can read the information their master wants from the victim's mind. This value is invaluable, so brain-eating evil spirits are often kept by those powerful beings or lords. Cost: 1 darkness, 0 attack, 0 life .Characteristics: analyzing the brain, elementary intelligence, spiritual dialogue."

"No wonder this value is so precious..." Zhang Cheng sighed, while summoning the brain-eating evil spirit, while looking at the old man in front of him.

"I gave you a chance... I always give everyone a chance, but you always waste it."

The old man's eyes widened. He wanted to speak, but it was too late.Because the pistol in Zhang Cheng's hand was flickering.The chill of death suddenly hit him, making his body so stiff that he couldn't stand upright and fell to the ground.

"Heh...heh..." He tried hard to speak, wanted to beg for mercy, but in the end he couldn't say anything.The last scene he saw in his life was to see that ugly and deformed monster slowly approaching, sticking a long thin tongue out of its mouth.

Alicia waited at the door for a while, and saw Zhang Cheng coming out of it.

"How about it?"

"I see." Zhang Cheng said lightly.It's a pity that this matter has nothing to do with Wurm, it's just someone's greed.Of course, even if it has nothing to do with Worm, it has something to do with those smugglers. "We're going downtown."

The damage caused by the dragon attack was concentrated in the aristocratic district and the city lord's mansion. Although other blocks were also attacked by the dragon, and people were caught in fire and killed, but there was no large-scale disaster.The main reason is that the technology in this world has reached the gunpowder age, and most of the buildings in the city are made of masonry, so it is difficult to spread it widely even if it is arson.

"Are they there?" Alicia asked.

"The smugglers are not only here, they are also very busy." Zhang Cheng smiled. "They're trying to transfer property. Well, a lot of contraband has been accumulated." He now understands that the city's underground world is indeed very active.It's a pity that this activity doesn't make any sense, because they have no role in this war of life and death of the race.

If they are valuable, they are worth buying.But they have no value, so they are uprooted.

Unknowingly, Alicia came very close to Zhang Cheng and grabbed Zhang Cheng's sleeve.Not the kind of pulling with a little bit of strength, but grabbing Zhang Cheng's hand.

"What's the matter, Alicia?" Zhang Cheng turned his head and glanced.

"You know... I'm still me..."

"Of course," Zhang Chengcheng didn't quite understand. "You are still you." There was no soul wearing incident.

"Zhang Cheng, I can feel that you are getting farther and farther away from me. I don't know what's going on. I should be happy now. I not only rescued my father, but also captured this city...but..." Alicia said. "I can't be happy."

"because I?"

"Yes." Alicia replied. "I don't know...you're leaving?"

"Uh..." Zhang Cheng said. "I don't want to lie, but I do leave...in a few days. I want to go to the Great Glacier."

"Go to the Great Glacier... the Great Glacier? Is that the extremely cold frozen land? Is that the territory of the Frost Clan? Can I ask why?"

"It's that big glacier." Zhang Cheng said.He has read the simple map provided in the book, but at this level of technology, maps are just that.It's okay to get a general understanding, but don't really trust it.It can be seen from the map that the Great Glacier is the edge of the Frost Clan's territory. If any foreign enemy wants to attack the Frost Clan, they must seize the Great Glacier.This is why a large-scale battle broke out here. "As for why, simply put, it is to collect some resources."

"You...will you come back?" Alicia asked.

"Maybe." Zhang Cheng replied vaguely. "We're here, Alicia." At this time, they had already entered the lower city.Specifically, they were already standing in front of an unremarkable house.

The lower city is actually a slum area, and it is a slum area where a plague broke out not long ago.Not only are there few people at the moment, but the houses are broken.But in a few years, bankrupt farmers outside the city, or tramps, beggars, etc. will once again fill up this urban area.But at least for now, the place is empty, only people like smugglers are left.

And this house looks simple and unremarkable, but in fact there is a (relatively speaking) quite large warehouse underneath.

So it is completely understandable that even at this time, the smugglers left enough manpower to guard the warehouse.
