Chapter 78
The things about the altar of the emperor and the witches were expected.

The sorcerer lives in seclusion here.If his seclusion is known, it is not a seclusion.The matter of the Son of Heaven Altar is also too far away.In fact, looking at the broken outer city wall of Xia Rui, it is clear that this city has been abandoned for thousands of years.Thousands of years are enough to turn history into legends, legends into myths, vicissitudes of life, and enough to change dynasties several times.Even if the altar where the Son of Heaven sacrificed was a well-known public news, it has long since become an unaccountable historical secret.

If it weren't for a rare accident like the Master of Jiuyi's Scroll, who would have cared about the altar where the emperor of the Xia Dynasty sacrificed to the sky a thousand years ago?
Zhang Cheng did not expect to obtain relevant information so easily from the beginning.The facts also proved that his guess was completely correct.

But the matter of the Longluan fragments was a complete accident.

Xiaoxiong once clearly stated that these "Dragon Fragments" are rarities with little practical use value.

Zhang Cheng's experience has also proved that these cards that can summon animals are really not very effective.Although there are good things like "aquatic poisonous snakes" that are used for sneak attacks, more, such as wolves and dolphins, have no combat effectiveness at all.Especially the wolf, he was a level 1 warrior and a level 1 mage who easily killed the wolf summoned by the four cards.

Any spellcaster can completely replace these cards with summoning spells, and it is even blunt to say that the effects of summoning spells will be better.Although Zhang Cheng didn't have it himself, he was very sure that there must be magic products of the summoning system in this world.The practical value of these magic products is obviously much higher than that of cards.

The only reason for Zhang Cheng to collect the fragments of Longman is probably that he has a book of planeswalkers in his hand.The Book of Planeswalkers is called "Dragon Luan" by the natives of this world, and the cards are called "Dragon Luan Fragments", so there is a high possibility that these cards have something to do with the Book of Planeswalkers.Of course, then again, there may not be anything involved at all, but the source is the same: they were all made by people in another unknown world, so they were named casually.

Collected about 40 pieces of wood and cards from various merchants.Most of them are wood chips, and there are only five or six cards.There are only two types of these cards, one is "Prairie Gray Wolf" and the other is "Vampire Bat".

Vampire bats: flying creatures in the night, rely on blood to survive.These creatures are naturally able to adapt to complex environments, dexterously avoiding almost any obstacle or attack.Cost 0, attack 0 (bite), life 1 (fragile), characteristics: dexterous flight, blood-sucking.

I don't know how these cards are made, but it feels like... it's true that wolf or bat cards should be easier to make.Since the two animals live in packs, it may be possible to make a stack in one go.

After asking around, Zhang Cheng had already made some calculations.There is no doubt that the sorcerer's retreat is a secret known only to a high-level or certain group of people.And the altar is even worse, because the different people here are all ignorant.Don't say I've seen it, I haven't even heard of it.It’s just—as everyone knows—because this is the Xia Ruins, everyone has confirmed that there is such a thing.

The important affairs of the country are sacrificed in the Rong, so since ancient times, all the capitals must have altars for the emperor to sacrifice to the sky.

Dr. Kunwu probably only knew about this for this reason.

At noon, Zhang Cheng entered another urban area.

This is completely different from Nanling's community.Overall, it was disorganized, with residents apparently starting construction wherever they found it pleasing to the eye.For this reason, the whole city is not divided into streets and houses, it is a mess.Livestock and inhabitants live together, which is the source of infectious diseases in the understanding of earthlings.The only thing worth mentioning is that there are several nice mansions here.The foundations of these mansions are almost all stone, and it can be seen that they have experienced many years of wind and rain.It was not so much built by the local residents as it was restored by them.There are also few residents here, which can't be compared with Nanling's side at all. There are only about a thousand people.

However, this city area made Zhang Cheng look familiar.Because he was sure that if he flew to the sky with magic, the scene he saw was exactly the same as what he saw in the game.

In the game, in the upper left corner of the city, or the end near the low city wall, there is an NPC who talks nonsense but doesn't give you quests.Zhang Cheng thought this kind of NPC was annoying before, but now he thinks that maybe he can go check it out.

Unfortunately, there is no one there.It's not the kind of temporary departure of the old man in the first act, but the whole environment makes you understand that there will be no one here.In that area there are only ruins, garbage, stones and dirt.And a normal living, at least have a tent, right?Even if you are a fugitive slave and really have nothing, you must at least find a shelter from the wind, right?
This corner is very windy.

This is not because the wind direction is special today, but because this location is affected by the direction of the city wall, the wind will naturally gather.

Recalling the various memories in the game, a certain unease gathered in my heart.In the game, there are too many unreasonable things.

You don't feel anything when you play the game, but the game and reality are combined, and when you try to use the content of the game to deduce reality, you don't feel right.

If it was the army of the princes that destroyed Nanling City, Zhang Cheng couldn't understand that this army would let other cities go - the trading area could understand, after all, the merchants had nothing to worry about, and left as soon as they were warned. Can.But other urban areas cannot escape such a catastrophe.

Also, there are NPCs that have impressions in this game but do not exist in reality.He was a little regretful, and never paid close attention to what the NPC said to him.You know, although there are a lot of garbled characters, if you distinguish carefully, you can still get some information.

Zhang Cheng didn't think anyone would choose this place as a place to live.After all, there is still a lot of space in this urban area, and obviously there are no planning restrictions from the urban construction department.So, is there any additional reason to choose to live here?
Sure enough, did something happen... beyond common sense?Zhang Cheng didn't know if he should warn Nan Ling.But if you want to leave, where can you go?The migration of so many people is no small matter, and the cost will be high.

Ouch, what am I thinking!Shouldn't I be focusing on two things?One is Doctor Kunwu's task, and the other is his level.

While he was thinking so, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.He turned his head and saw the bell running out of breath.

"That," Bell said timidly, looking at Zhang Cheng. "Sister Wu Ling asked me to tell you something..."

She was a little scared.Because she came here this time not just to find someone, but to make an excessive request.To be honest, even though she was relaying the request of Sister Wu Ling, even she felt that this request was too much.You must know that this man named Zhang Cheng is a scholar. In the words of Sister Wu Ling, he is a slave-owner noble.

"whats the matter?"

"She said you can deal with those Nanbans!"

"Nanman?" What is a Nanman?Well, at least in this world, the name is too different from the game.Just as Huaiyi is a lizardman, Quanrong is a jackal, Laiyi is a murloc, and Guirong is an undead creature... It's really hard to say what this Nanman is.But then again, Nan Ling doesn't seem to understand.In this magical world, in this world where great power can be attributed to itself, being a leader or something is really not a good idea.And even if you really want to be, you can talk about being a saint.

"Sister Wu Ling said, you can let me take you there!" Bell said timidly.She knew that Nan Man was not easy to deal with.And Sister Wu Ling obviously didn't plan to offer any compensation, she just let Zhang Cheng fight.

In that kind of posture, Zhang Cheng is not regarded as an outsider at all, but is directly regarded as a subordinate.Bell felt that he was Zhang Cheng, so he would definitely be furious with such excessive demands.It's the same even if she sees Big Sister Wu Ling.

"Okay," Zhang Cheng decided to accept the request.After all, experience is the last word. "Take me there."

"You... that... promised?"

"Yeah, take me there." Zhang Cheng said.

Bell led the way in front, and the two left the city, left the city wall, and entered the wilderness.From this point of view, even a city like Xia Rui is far from comparable to the metropolis on earth.No, no metropolitan class is required at all.Even second- and third-tier cities, the area and population can completely explode this waste capital.

If it is a modern city, if you walk from the city center to the suburbs, even the straight line distance is enough for people to walk for half a day or even a day.The Xia Ruins, starting from the city center, to the wilderness, and even the location where there is no arable land, only took about an hour and a half to travel.

In Earth time, it was about three or four o'clock in the afternoon.Not too early, but not too late.

The bell leading the way in front stopped.But even if she didn't stop, Zhang Cheng sensed something was wrong.Because there was a stench in the air.

However, for the people of the earth, this is not torture, it can only be said to be a fresh experience.After all, since I came to this world for so long, there may be other things wrong, but there is absolutely nothing to say about the air quality.Even in the undead dungeon, there is no smell.What kind of dust, smog, acid rain, etc., those are the products of industrial society, and they do not exist in this wild age.Except for volcanic eruptions, the world has no power to change the air at all.

The air is not stagnant at this point.In fact, the wind kept blowing, but instead of disappearing, the stench became more and more intense.

What stinks so much?Zhang Cheng was puzzled.But this one doesn't seem to answer.Because computer games cannot express the element of "stink".

Bell stopped and said with certainty. "Nanman should be in front. They said it should be Hundred Man, and there are a lot of them."

"Bai Man..." As for what Bai Man is, Zhang Chengzhen doesn't know anything.Is it some kind of savage?Or something else?What the hell is that smelly?

"Someone was grazing here before," the bell whispered. "I was attacked by those Nanbans,"

Indeed, this area can be said to be rich in water and grass.Even in this early winter season, the grass still grows strong.It would be great if the land was used for livestock.

Bell took the lead, and both of them were short.Relying on a bush for cover, Zhang Cheng could finally see what was in the distance.

It was this task...

Zhang Cheng forgot which NPC gave this quest in the game.Anyway, he circled around the free city at will, and took all the tasks that he could take, and this task was among them.It's a simple and straightforward task: get out of town and kill a bunch of goblin robbers.

Yes, goblins.A very common creature in fantasy games, small and despicable.The combat power is very poor, basically any low-level warrior can rush into the goblin pile to open the unparalleled, hacking three or five is like playing.Mage is easier.Basically just put a few fireballs and the world will be clean.

Because it was a very simple task and a typical delivery experience, Zhang Cheng didn't leave much impression.Zhang Cheng doesn't even remember how many goblins he killed in the game, or what tactics he used in battle.

But...the problem now seems a little different.

"It's in front..." Bell's voice was very nervous, and she couldn't help but swallow her saliva when she spoke.

Normally, goblins are not strong enemies.Even ordinary humans are not afraid of goblins.There is one exception, and that is when the number of goblins reaches a terrible standard.

What Zhang Cheng saw was a real army of goblins.It's hard to say how many goblins are here, the creatures are so densely packed that all they can see are their dangling bare heads.Most of them carried rudimentary weapons - hard-tipped wood spears or stone axes and hammers, only a few goblins wielded metal-like swords, and others had short, rough bows and arrows. .

Is it wrong?There seems to be no such amount in the game!

Don't know what the goblins are doing.They huddled together and seemed to be in a meeting.But there was a clamor and a quarrel of some sort.At this time, if a fireball is let go, not to mention killing three or five hundred, but killing thirty or fifty goblins is absolutely no problem.

The problem is that the number of goblins here is estimated to be in the thousands.

"How many lands do you think there are... Baiman?" Zhang Cheng asked the bell beside him.

"There are probably hundreds of them." Bell's face was not very good-looking, but she still tried her best to support it.Even she never expected that this place would gather so many savages.No, it's not just Baiman, there are other things.

She clearly saw a completely different tall figure appearing among the hundred barbarians.Although it was the first time she saw the bell, she immediately understood what it was.According to legend, those evil creatures who always mix with and command Baiman are one of the enemies of mankind.Although these guys are not ranked among the enemies of human beings in terms of strength or number, they are also enemies.

"That's... Dong Man?!"
