I, the Lord of the End

Chapter 128, Dark Crow City
After getting enough news, the living saint closed his eyes under the pious praise of everyone. He sat upright in the wind and snow, and the platinum eight-pointed star slowly rotated along his back, and his figure gradually became Blurred, as if shrouded in a thick layer of mist.

Master Erebus!The owner of the caravan failed to persuade him, so he had to order everyone to camp around the living saint.

When they woke up the next morning, the group of caravan guards and mercenaries who had witnessed countless miracles on the living saint once again saw a scene they would never forget.

I saw that Master Erebus sitting in the snow had turned into a monument made of ice.

The skin of his whole body was covered with a thick layer of frost, and even the eyelashes were covered with icy dew. His eyes were closed and his hands were clasped together. The linen clothes on his body were as hard as steel, and the only sound was the soft breathing. Tell everyone he's alive.

Gordon, the typical barbarian, couldn't help showing a hint of respect.

As we all know, the road of barbarians is also very painful. These guys known for their bravery and endurance often push their bodies to the limit. Their practice is also a kind of torture. One-handed mountain climbing, jungle survival, ice Bathing in a bucket, as well as hitting the body with hard objects, improves endurance and resistance to blows on the premise of scarring the body.

This is the practice of the barbarians, and their path to advancement is also painful and full of torture, which causes the vast majority of barbarians to stop at the exemplary or heroic level, because the painful experience in their early years makes them unwilling to continue like this down.

Therefore, professionals on the mainland have a nickname called "middle-aged barbarians", which refers to barbarians whose strength reaches the model level or hero level and gives up progress, and then loses control of their bodies and begins to gain weight. They have often found a place to settle Come down to marry a wife and have children to live a formal life. I don't want to train as hard as before and beat myself to death. Naturally, my body is out of shape.

However, although the training of barbarians is painful and tortured, they are still qualified to choose to give up. Even during the training process, they can still get enough comfort from wine, food, fire and the embrace of women (men are also welcome)!
But the master in front of him has nothing!He doesn't get close to women, he doesn't touch meat all the way, he doesn't even need a warm tent, sitting alone in the snow to endure the wind and cold, he can only advance but not retreat, otherwise his god will abandon him, his strength Will go with it too!

The former mercenaries still complained about this master of words, thinking that he was fighting for their jobs, but when they saw Erebus's practice method the next morning, they no longer dared to harbor any doubts. hostile.

Too bitter, really too bitter.

Master Erebus may have chosen the most difficult path among all professionals. Everyone is left with shock and admiration for his cultivation method. This is not a cultivation method that ordinary people can bear. When everyone asks themselves that they cannot do it When Erebus is at this level, it is naturally impossible to be dissatisfied with his status.

With the first ray of morning light, the living saint opened his eyes. The ice layer on Master Huaiyan's body was cracked. He broke out of his shell like a newborn child, and prayed devoutly to the sun today: "Lord Ah, a new day has begun."

After a simple breakfast, the living saint took out a golden cup and drank water. He seemed to regain his energy immediately, and even the flames on his body were much brighter.

Is this the power of faith?Gordon the Savage thought so.

"Master, we should be able to reach Dark Crow City today." The caravan owner came over and said to Erebus.

"Fortunately, fortunately." Sid didn't say much.

The caravan continued on its way.

As they approached the Dark Crow City, the roads became wider and the villages and towns along the roads became denser and denser, and people could be seen everywhere. Even in the severe winter of January, many merchants and farmers still took advantage of this opportunity to come out Occasionally, many children can be seen playing on the side of the road.

The river network is gradually becoming denser, and the river patrol patrols along the coast in small boats.

Dark Crow City used to be one of the largest cities in the Raven Principality. It used to be called Golden Eagle City instead of Dark Crow City. The reason is very simple. There used to be huge gold mines and dragon blood crystal mines nearby this city, so a large number of The population is concentrated here, and gold diggers and mine robbers have been banned repeatedly, bringing extreme prosperity.

Time flies, no matter how rich the gold mine is, it will be mined one day, and the Dragon Blood Crystal Mine is the same. Fortunately, there is still fertile land near Dark Crow City, and the settled people gradually regard this place as their home, so although Dark Crow City is no longer Grand occasion is also one of the several medium-sized cities in the Raven Principality.

The caravan did not encounter any troubles along the way, and they approached the outskirts of the city smoothly.

This also made Sid a little disappointed. He wanted to find an opportunity to practice his hands again, and use this identity to sharpen his martial arts, but unfortunately he didn't have the opportunity.

After changing his identity and acting, Sid discovered that the strength of the hero level is completely enough to walk sideways in the Holy Empire.

When he acted with the princess in the wolf before, Sid had an illusion. He felt as if legends were everywhere. Heroes are not as good as dogs. His strength at the exemplary level is completely insufficient. Just self-protection.

In fact, it was an illusion, a complete illusion. Sid accidentally entered the "advanced zone" because he followed Celesty, causing him to always face opponents beyond his level.

As he came to the Raven Principality alone and sank down to contact the people, he found that most of the noble lords and knights he met were only at the standard level, and very few could be promoted to the hero level.

The Holy Empire has an order. If you want to inherit the title and inherit the fiefdom, it is a dead line to have the strength of the third-level model level. This ensures that all the fief nobles have at least the strength of the first-level model level, otherwise the nobles don’t know how to stretch their hips. where to go.

The strength of the hero level is the strength of the overlord in the countryside of the Holy Empire. Even in the city, the strength of the hero level is enough to be the guest of any city lord. It is difficult for ordinary people to see it in the large cities or even the capital of the principality. A legendary existence.

Therefore, when Master Huaiyan, who had the strength of a hero and became famous in the Raven Principality, appeared in the Dark Crow City, not only the commoners rushed out to watch him, but the children watched him curiously, even the guards who were on duty in the city followed him. All the knights came out to pay him homage.

Sid naturally clasped his hands together in a gesture of compassion, and gave them the holy words of his heavenly father. The platinum eight-pointed star halo was covered behind his soaring braid, looking so holy and so great.

Dark Crow City has strong guards. The city walls are paved with thick stones. There are large turrets every few tens of meters. Below the huge city wall cranes are rows of flame arrows and bed crossbows. The soldiers wear chain mail. With the breastplate, Sid noticed that even the boots of ordinary soldiers were well polished.

As a powerful vassal in the empire, the Raven Principality's military strength can be seen.

The guards did not embarrass the caravan. After checking all the documents, they decisively let them go. Sid also parted from the caravan here. The owner of the caravan seemed very reluctant to part with Master Huaiyan. He repeatedly asked the master how long he planned to stay here. Where do you plan to go next, it seems that you want to go with him again.

Of course Sid knew what the caravan owner wanted to do. He smiled and said that he needed to rest for a while after his training, and he hadn't figured out where to go next.

After finishing speaking, Sid also begged a few silver coins from the caravan owner, saying that he needed to eat some meat at the end of his practice.

The owner of the caravan did not hesitate to take out three gold crowns from his body to this venerable ascetic master, and told him to go to No. 56 Flying Pig Road, Broome Street, Dark Crow City. He must be notified of new travel plans.

Before parting, the owner of the caravan was chattering to a few mercenaries when paying the commission: Look at the master, what kind of state is that?What kind of virtue is that?You mercenaries only care about money, and you really lack the pursuit you deserve. You people never think about how to improve your level and morality, and you are only thinking about money and money all day long!

No wonder other masters are already at the fourth level, and you people are still at the second level!
The faces of the mercenaries were blackened by the speech, and they were embarrassed to get angry at the master, so they could only turn around and leave after taking the money.

The owner of the caravan once again emphasized that he lived at No. 56 Feizhu Road before leaving slowly.

"Master Huaiyan, are you here to find Sir Blazer? The gate officer of Dark Crow City heard the master's inquiry, and he quickly said: "What a coincidence, Master, Sir Blazer left work a few hours ago. Went home to rest. "

"Go home? Excuse me, sir, where is Sir Blazer's home?" Sid folded his hands together: "I want to meet this young Raven Inner Ring Knight. It is said that he is always troubled by nightmares. His contact with the devil has cast a shadow on him, and I think he needs my help."

"Then master, you are right! I thank you on behalf of the entire Dark Crow City!" The city gate officer squeezed his chin and said with a wry smile: "I actually met Sir Moltke Blaze a few years ago. A very sunny and lively young man, I don’t know why he insisted on being transferred to the City of Ravens when he was promoted to Knight of the Inner Ring of the Raven. The road ahead was smooth, and since he came back, Sir Blazer didn’t like to talk to people. , I don’t like activities during the day, it’s gloomy, maybe just like you said, master, the contact with the devil left a shadow in his heart, right?”

"Unfortunately, Sir Blazer should be resting at this time. He doesn't like to see people very much during the day." The officer at the gate continued: "The master may trouble you to come at night, and any leader on duty will be willing to bring you You went to him."

"Well, thank you very much, and may Jupiter bless you."

"No, it's my honor to meet you, Master, welcome to Dark Crow City!"

Sid entered the city smoothly, and walked slowly through the city step by step along the snow-covered streets.

Wherever he passed, all the city residents lined up to welcome him. The place where the living saint walked left a burst of orange fragrance, the snow on his footprints melted, and the halo of the eight-pointed star shone in the air. The voice chanted endlessly.

"Mom, I saw an angel!" A little girl pointed at the living saint's back and shouted. The little girl's mother quickly covered her daughter's mouth with her hands in fright.

Sid didn't take it seriously, he came to the little girl and held out his hands, amiable without any airs at all.

Erebus, Master of Words, won everyone's hearts in no time.

Sid also took the opportunity to inquire about Moltke's news from the crowd.

The thing about Moltke is really weird!
In addition to the information obtained before, Sid also learned that Moltke seemed to have completely lost interest in mortal things since he returned to the Dark Crow City. Many small nobles or wealthy businessmen successively introduced their daughters to him. Not interested, he seems to have given up on marriage altogether.

Someone saw Moltke eating, and the knight in the inner circle of the raven had a terrible way of eating. Whether it was bread, chicken legs or fruit, Moltke always swallowed it in one gulp, and then swallowed it down.

There is no chewing process and bones are never spit out.

Leaving the crowd, finding an ordinary hotel and spending a few silver coins to stay, Sid sat on the bed and began to think about how to meet Moltke at night, and what to say specifically.

After taking a turn at the Raven, Sid found himself not very confident in convincing Moltke to join his small group.

As mentioned earlier, the Raven Principality is special compared to other principalities. Due to the fact that it entered the Central Dynasty twice, the nobles of all sizes entered the customs collectively, and the small fish and shrimps left behind are weak and powerful. , This makes the Raven Principality a certain promotion channel, and the internal affairs of the Principality are mostly under the control of noble bureaucrats. Small landlords and nobles also have the opportunity to speak out against the big nobles.

The most typical one is Moltke's father. As a descendant of the second-class Iquis, Moltke's father served as the "counselor" of the principality court. The official position for consultation and suggestion has little real power, but basically all court decisions can be justified and you need to ask his opinion.

This is the reason for the so-called inferior position.

Therefore, there is an atmosphere in Raven. For ordinary people, trying to get into the bureaucracy system or the army knight system seems to be a lifetime goal. The so-called "end of the universe is enlistment" is nothing more than that.

Among the common people of Dark Crow City, Sid also heard an interesting saying that "you can have a whip if you have a weave". Trampled the grass at the gate of Blazer Manor.

Under such circumstances, Sid is not very confident that he can talk to Moltke. Moltke is now a Raven Inner Ring Knight, a hero rank, and his future is bright. Sid may be able to promise even greater rewards in the future, but if Moltke's goal in life is to retire honorably as the Grand Knight Commander of the Raven?

Repeatedly deducing possible dialogues and carefully choosing words, the time soon came to night.

Erebas, the master of words, finally broke his fast after a long practice. His dinner consisted of a large bucket of milk, two catties of pork ribs, a whole roasted beef rib, three fried eggs and five pieces of buttered bread.

Ascetic monks also have to eat meat. They will break their fast before the end of one practice until the next practice begins, otherwise the body will definitely collapse. This is also a compromise between the way of asceticism and reality.

However, whether the ascetic monks who basically have no private wealth can get meat to eat is a test of their skills.

Amidst the admiration of the surrounding diners, the master ate the meat like a wolf, his teeth were like bone scraping knives, scraping along the surface of the ribs, leaving no trace of meat.

The good-for-nothing ravenman continued to watch the living saint eat his face, and suddenly, the earth began to roar, shaking the earth and shaking the mountains!
The smoke and dust rose everywhere, the house trembled and screamed in pain, and pieces of dust fell from the beams, and the people who did good things poured their heads and faces!
what happened?what happened?The people in the hotel lobby fell into a ball, and a nimble professional climbed to the window and looked out: "Master, everyone, look!"

Sid stabilized his body and moved more than ten meters in an instant to the window. His sea-blue pupils suddenly reflected what was happening.

I saw a corner of the Dark Crow City, a fire rising to the sky!

Have enemies? !
