Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 148 Special Survival Skills

Glutinous Rice Fruit looked at Jack Baldo: "So, I was thinking, how did Mr. Baldo come to the empire?"

Jack Baldo thought about it seriously, and replied: "I only know that when I opened my eyes, I was lying on the beach of the smoky lake—I seemed to be brought here by the lake.

As for anything further on, I really don't remember it at all. "

Chen Yan felt itchy in his heart, and asked Jack Baldo: "Jack, did you really come from that... [The light will go out] era? How long ago was that? It sounds like an epic of creation... Could it be A few hundred thousand years ago?"

Jack Baldo was confused: "How could it be so long... I really forgot."

The confusion in his eyes did not seem to be fake at all.

Nuomi Guo thought: "If he really came from the era before the deep sea era, it would be too unbelievable...that is a chaotic era that spans at least a thousand years."

Chen Yan thought about it, and it seems that thousands of years is not too long...

But if you think about it carefully, it seems to be quite long.

In other words, on a continent far away from the empire, there is a country named [Rodland], their history is:
【The light will be extinguished】——[The Age of Deep Sea] named after the end——The unsung hero adds fire to bring the light [The era of prosperity again]

But the history of Yanan City is short, Chen Yan now only knows:
[The era when veterinary disease was rampant in Yanan City thousands of years ago]——[The era of the steam industry today].

There is not even a record of Yanan before the lycanthropy in history. According to the public knowledge, all relevant books were burned in that disaster.

After straightening out his thoughts, another question appeared in Chen Yan's head.

"Jack, you just said that you [will be burned to ashes]... what does that mean?"

Jack Baldo glanced at the apple soup in front of Chen Yan, smacked his lips, and said:
"Flame can not only bring light to people, but also bring strength."

Jack Baldo seemed to be saying something very ordinary.

"Use yourself as firewood and burn it to gain extraordinary power."

Chen Yan frowned and said, "What are you talking about... I didn't see you on fire either?"

Jack Baldo glanced at the cold apple soup in front of him again, this time it was even more extreme, and even swallowed clearly.

Chen Yan pushed the apple soup in front of him.

He grinned, showing an ugly bright smile, picked up the apple soup and drank it down, and then said contentedly:

"I'm not a normal human, and I'm also different from ordinary undead."

"I was able to set myself on fire for a brief moment to gain some power...albeit only for a moment."

"The price...is the speeding up of the corpse transformation."

Chen Yan didn't understand the inner logic of his three sentences at all.

How can I gain strength after igniting myself?

How can it become a living corpse after burning?
After burning, shouldn't it turn into ashes...

Glutinous rice fruit showed a thoughtful expression:

"Rodland seems to have a legend about this ability... It's just that the legend only exists in the myths that people pass on orally, and it's not recorded in the documents, so there's no way to know the detailed process and principle."

Jack Baldo grinned and said to Chen Yan:

"Even if I have used the power of flames, you don't have to worry about me turning into a living corpse, because I have created a secret method - as long as you inhale the aroma ignited by special blood before completely losing your mind, you can get out of the living corpse state !"

Chen Yan suddenly remembered the story Geralt Sif told at night at the zoo, and subconsciously asked, "Whose... whose ashes were used for that bloody cigarette? And whose blood is it?"

The other three were stunned at the same time, but did not realize what Chen Yan was asking.

Chen Yan immediately added to Jack Baldo: "I'm really sorry, I have to ask these things clearly."

It's all here... You can't just drive people away, right?

Not to mention that they still have vital information in their hands.

Anyway, let him stay first.

As for the troubles he caused... We will talk about it later, at least for now, it seems that the advantages of welcoming Jack Baldo outweigh the disadvantages.

Jack Baldo understood what Chen Yan meant.

If you want to live in this apartment, you should at least know the identity of the tenants—even in the worst "pigsty" compound in the downtown area, the landlord will investigate the identity of the tenants—let alone the prosperous area of ​​Walker Street , close to Apartment 33 Birmingham Street.

"The blood that lights the incense comes from a woman."

Jack Baldo calmly said the words that made Chen Yan unable to calm down.

"That woman's name is Marina, and she's a corner girl."

Although he had already guessed the result, Chen Yan still felt complicated when he confirmed the matter from Jack Baldo.

Ogami also knew about this, so he took a look at Chen Yan and saw that Chen Yan looked melancholy, as if he was thinking about something, so he didn't say anything to interrupt.

Jack Baldo continued: "As for the ashes...the ashes are actually a kind of aromatherapy."

"Actually, I don't know where this kind of ashes came from. When I was brought ashore by the tide of the smoked lake, the ashes were hanging on my waist."

Chen Yan paused, then interrupted: "Did you bring anything else with you when you went ashore?"

Jack Baldo nodded: "He is also wearing a set of onion-shaped armor and a big black sword... In fact, the sword is not big, only about half the height of a person.

It looks intimidating, but it is actually very difficult to use.

Because it is too heavy, I have no chance to draw the sword when facing most of the Imperials.

By the time I raised my sword, the enemy had already shot me in the head.

So I hardly ever use that sword. "

The belongings he mentioned should be in the pile of junk he just moved into the apartment.

After he finished speaking, he asked curiously, "How do you know about the blood and ashes? I never told anyone about it."

Chen Yan collected himself and told him the story Geralt Sif told.

"Ah...so that's the case, and there's this matter. Unfortunately, I had already started to turn into a living corpse at that time, and I don't remember the young man who broke in by accident."

Jack Baldo sighed:
"At that time, I had just met Marina, and she was still working under the coercion of the Powder Keg Gang... It wasn't a job she liked, so I found a way to help her escape."

Chen Yan felt dizzy.

That's it!

No wonder Ryan Gamma, the hunter of the Powder Keg Gang, said that Jack Baldo bullied their corner girl. This is still a tactful statement, and that guy actually abducted him!
"That's... right."

Chen Yan settled down: "That kind of job shouldn't exist in the first place, and it's a good thing to save one."

Hearing what he said, Jack Baldo immediately became happy: "I think so too!"

He went on to say: "After I rescued Marina, I was wanted by those bastards from the Gunpowder Keg Gang, um...unofficially wanted, which made me unable to engage in a public career, so I could only live in factories. ...you have to be careful."
