mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 984 Don John Constantine

[When I woke up, I used the energy fluctuation convergence rune fragment to teleport from the Shadow Forest back to the outside of the mirage.]

[At the agreed location, I met up with the elf scouts.]

[I asked the elf scout: How is the situation? ]

[The Elf Scout was terrified: The demon virus spreads faster than you and I expected. In the Sea City Void Territory, dozens of violent incidents have occurred yesterday and today. The Sea City Void Territory is divided into the Inner Territory and the Outer Territory. Only the Sea City Void Territory Specialists, 12 Elders, 36 Void Territory Elders, 72 Axiom Masters and 108 Void Territory Strikers are qualified to live in the Inner Territory. Outer Territory apprentices can only live in the Outer Territory with the Sea City Void Territory residents. There is no movement in the Inner Territory for the time being. However, 500 Void Territory Strikers are investigating this matter with Outer Territory apprentices.]

[My heart trembled, and I asked the elf scout: Have they found out anything? ]

[The Elf Scout shook his head: Not yet, but the 76th Void Realm Striker is leading 20 Outer Realm Apprentices to investigate the refugee camp. We'd better not go there for now.]

Zhao Chuanxin, however, planned to do the opposite.

He wanted to fish in troubled waters.

So he wrote:

[I'm going to the refugee camp to see the situation.]

[I told the Elf Scout my idea, and the Elf Scout refused to go with me: We can't let others know that you and I are together.]

[I had no choice but to go to the refugee camp alone.]

[Outer-world apprentices wearing uniform apprentice robes, led by a tall, pale man, are interrogating the refugees.]

【I quietly approached and observed.】

[An apprentice from the outer realm is questioning a refugee. The refugee looks sneaky and says: Come closer, I have something to say to you alone.]

[When the outer realm apprentice put his ear close to listen, I clearly saw a faint wisp of black smoke, which was invisible to the naked eye if you didn't observe carefully, enter the outer realm apprentice's ear.]

[The look of the outer realm apprentice changed immediately.]

Zhao Chuanxin: "..."

The devil virus is so cruel and hard to guard against.

[The infected apprentice from the outer world said to his companion next to him: There is something important that I will only tell you. Please come closer.]

[In this way, 20 people were infected almost at the same time. ]

Zhao Chuanxin thought to himself: This head is given as a gift because of human relationships.

[The last infected person said to the No. 76 virtual striker: I have something to tell you, it is very important.]

Zhao Chuanxin was waiting for this moment. He wrote:

【I shouted: Wait. 】

[No. 76 Virtual Realm Striker and the 20 infected Outer Realm Apprentices turned their heads at the same time.]

Zhao Chuanxin wrote:

[I said: Honorable Void Realm Striker, I have something to tell you, it is something very important.]

【All the foreign-world apprentices: ……】

Is it surprising? Is it surprising? Is it familiar?

[No. 76 Virtual Realm Striker walked towards me and asked: What's the matter? ]

Zhao Chuanxin wrote:

[I said: The person who was about to speak to you is ill, very ill. You'd better not get close to him.]

[No. 76 Virtual Realm Striker obviously didn't believe it and asked: What evidence do you have? ]

Zhao Chuanxin wrote:

[I said: I have been good at observing people's expressions since I was a child. That person's expression is not right. If you don't believe me, slap him and see his reaction.]

[No. 76 Void Realm Striker slapped the Outer Realm Apprentice without hesitation.]

[The man was furious and rushed towards the No. 76 Virtual Realm Striker: You are looking for death! ]

According to the elven scouts, the strength of each Void Striker is no weaker than the Fearless Vanguard of Middle-earth.

Zhao Chuanxin is still waiting to see what Virtual Realm Striker No. 76 is capable of.

result……

[No. 76 Virtual Realm Striker shouted to the people around him: Stop him.]

【However, the other outer realm apprentices remained indifferent. 】

[No. 76 Virtual Realm Striker was terrified and at a loss.]

How could they help him when he's fucking infected?
However, what surprised Zhao Chuanxin was that this guy looked like he couldn't even beat an ordinary outer realm apprentice?
Zhao Chuanxin twitched his lips and wrote:
【I stopped the infected person. 】

[I reached out and slapped the infected person again.]

[The infected person was knocked to the ground, dizzy.]

One has to admit that the Fearless Vanguard has few rivals in terms of strength.

[No. 76 Virtual Realm Striker immediately hid behind me, pointed at the apprentices and shouted: Why don't you obey my orders? ]

[At this time, the apprentices walked forward with expressionless faces and held down the infected person who was slapped to the ground.]

[No. 76 Virtual Realm Striker felt relieved. 】

Zhao Chuanxin's heart skipped a beat.

I wonder, this demon virus seems to be evolving.

At first, the infected people would fight desperately for the slightest thing.

Later, they learned to hide their temper.

Now, everyone can act.

[No. 76 Virtual Realm Striker said to me gratefully: Today, thanks to you, I think you are very talented, I will report you to Master Axiom, maybe you can enter the Sea City Virtual Realm because of this, or even become an apprentice in the Outer Realm.]

[By becoming an Outer Realm Apprentice, you will have the opportunity to advance to a Void Realm Striker and enter the Inner Realm. ]

Zhao Chuanxin narrowed his eyes.

And such good things?

In this case, we cannot allow the illustrious No. 76 Virtual Realm Striker to be infected by the demon virus for no apparent reason.

He wrote:

[I said: For safety reasons, I think you should get more guards.]

[All the foreign-world apprentices looked at me with ill intent.]

[Virtual Realm Striker No. 76 has not yet realized the seriousness of the situation.]

[But he was very cautious and said to everyone: You all stay here, I will go back to the sea city virtual world. ]

[He also said to me: You wait here, I will report to Master Axiom and recruit you as an apprentice in the outer realm. I have a feeling that you will be an excellent apprentice. You will get the news as early as today and at the latest tomorrow.]

As expected, the wind outlet is always in the most dangerous place.

But Zhao Chuanxin was really curious and couldn't help asking:
[I asked: Before I leave, can you answer a question for me? ]

[No. 76 Virtual Realm Striker looked at me with admiration: You say.]

Zhao Chuanxin wrote:

[I said: Everyone says that the Void Realm Strikers are very powerful, why are you...]

[Strike No. 76 was silent for a while, then said: Indeed, every virtual realm striker is very strong, but my specialty is recording. I am a divine consciousness recorder. Everything that just happened has been recorded by me. I believe that Master Axiom will agree to promote you to an outer realm apprentice after seeing it.]

Zhao Chuanxin suddenly realized.

[After leaving, the No. 76 Void Realm Striker never returned.]

[The twenty infected apprentices stared at me with ill intentions.]

[The most terrifying thing about the demon virus is assimilation. They seem to want to assimilate everyone and do not allow the existence of different people.]

Zhao Chuanxin was stunned.

Suddenly I remembered a certain era... People who are different would be labeled and labelled, they are unforgivable and bring disaster to the country and the people...

The aliens are traitors...

[I pointed at them and said: Don’t come near me, or I will beat you until you are a paste!]

[They didn't say anything, but just looked at me indifferently, which caused many people around me to look at me indifferently as if I was the one who was infected.]

[This feeling makes people feel a little desperate.]

[I believe that many of those with cold eyes were not infected.]

[Sometimes assimilation requires infection, and sometimes assimilation does not require infection. 】

Zhao Chuanxin closed the "Code of Old Gods" and breathed a sigh of relief: Defending values ​​is an instinct, and maintaining the existence of diverse values ​​is the key to the continuation of civilization.

sometimes,
End

Day,
It does not just refer to the extinction of life.

He got up, dressed, put on sunglasses, went out, locked the door, went to the stable, untied the reins, and climbed on the horse. The Chihuahua followed him, barking.

"shelf!"

The counterfeit came out of the stable, his mane ruffled by the strong wind, and he shook his head in unhappiness.

In this kind of horrible weather, if it had a choice, it would choose to stay in the stable obediently.

Zhao Chuanxin took a high-profile walk around the area.

"Don John Constantine, where are you going?"

"Go to God's Road and eliminate bandits."

Zhao Chuanxin answered in a high-profile manner all the way.

He did it on purpose.

……

God's road is a road on a high mountain ridge, bumpy and full of thorns.

Except for bandits, no one wants to travel here.

The biggest bandit here is named Casitro Garcilaso, nicknamed the Mule.

The mule was cruel but tenacious. He survived many attacks by the rural mounted patrols. Everyone claimed that he had nine lives.

Next to Mule's bandit camp, there was a crooked tree with the body of a merchant hanging on the tree, swaying in the wind.

One of the bandits yelled at the corpse, "You don't know, when I killed him, he cried like a baby, and said to me - I have a child at home, she is waiting for me to go back, man, spare my life. I told him - you can still have a child, the boss gave me a wife, the next day the wife committed suicide, I am even more miserable, I don't even have a child. What do you think, should he die?"

"He deserves to die!"

"Hahaha……"

When everyone saw the mule sitting in silence around the campfire, someone asked, "Boss, why don't you say anything?"

The mule smiled and said, "You know, some time ago, I saw a magical machine."

"Boss, tell me, what kind of machine is that?"

The mule said mysteriously, "The machine was running very fast on the ground, from one hilltop to another, and it arrived in the blink of an eye. I also saw a man coming down from it. The man was tall and was peeing. At this time, a black bear came out of the bushes. Guess what? The man kicked the black bear away with one kick..."

"Boss, how big is that black bear? Is it a bear cub?"

"It weighs at least thirty arowas. It's a grown male bear!"

One arowana is roughly equivalent to 11.5 kilograms.

In other words, the black bear must weigh more than 300 kilograms.

There was complete silence, and everyone looked at each other in obvious disbelief.

Due to the boss's authority, no one questioned it on the spot.

The mule noticed this and stopped talking, changing the subject: "First we made friends with the rural patrols in Veracruz, and now the patrols in Puebla are asking us for help. You have to understand that things can either turn out well or badly, and God is smiling on us at this time."

The subordinate asked: "Boss, who are the people that the Puebla Cavalry Patrol asked us to deal with?"

"It's a mounted patrol policeman. They say this man is difficult to deal with, and they want to kill him with a borrowed knife."

The man stood up with a machete, walked over to the hanging body, and swung it down.

laugh……

The arm fell off.

He boasted: "Killing the police from the Mounted Patrol? That's my specialty, haha..."

The mule shook his head, his eyes deep: "Remember, when powerful people hand you a knife, you can take it, but you can't turn your head away immediately. You must always be on guard against the knife they stab from behind..."

While they were boasting, the Veracruz Rural Rangers were lying in ambush nearby.

"Boss, how long do we have to wait?"

"Haha, Mule, that idiot, has revealed all of his and Puebla's plans. Let's wait for them to put on a show and help them make it real. When they fight and both sides are hurt, we can take Mule and his gang of bandits back to claim our reward!"

"hiss……"

What a good plan.

……

Zhao Chuanxin rode the fake bicycle and slowly moved forward on the desolate, rough and bumpy hills.

The Chihuahua followed behind, howling, causing the small animals on the road to panic.

After running for two kilometers, the dog became less active, panting from exhaustion, with its tongue hanging out and looking dizzy.

Zhao Chuanxin picked it up and put it on the horse's back.

A man, a horse and a dog were walking slowly and steadily.

He saw an elderly Apache man wearing a turban walking out of a conical tent in a valley with his trousers lifted up, followed by a slightly younger Apache woman.

Zhao Chuanxin greeted cheerfully: "Hey man, you're still working at such an old age. Is your waist in good condition?"

The Apache glared at him fiercely.

People of this nation always give people the feeling of being provocative.

Decades ago, during the Mexican Civil War, Mexico fought a bloody battle with the local Mayans.

This is a nation that likes to stick its neck out.

……

In Quetshalan, after Zhao Chuanxin left, Camilo Torick called Alessandro, the thug from the manor.

Alejandro was originally a subordinate of Urquidi Gomez. Urquidi Gomez and his gang were almost wiped out by Zhao Chuanxin. The remaining people scattered like monkeys when the tree fell, and only Alejandro was left.

Alessandro was originally not up to the task, but when Camilo Torric had no one else to use, he had no choice but to value this one talent.

"Go to the White House Tavern and see if the stranger has set out for God's Way."

Alejandro thought of the bloody scene and the tragic death of Urquidi Gomez, and shuddered. He wanted to refuse but didn't dare to speak.

He could only perfunctorily say that he was going out, but in fact he went to the town to look for someone.

He went to the hardware store and asked Meridon Benito, "Meridon, have you seen John Constantine?"

Meridon Benito nodded: "Yes, he rode away before daybreak, saying he was going to the road to God."

Alessandro smiled easily: "Very good, Meridon, God bless you."

After saying this, he hurried out and prepared to go back to report.

Meridon Benito looked at his back, shook his head, and spat: "What the hell!"

After Alessandro went out, he saw a townsman who had left the Torric Manor without permission. Originally, this man was a tenant farmer on the manor, but this year he did not plan to work for Camilo Torric.

On the one hand, Alessandro was afraid of the newly rising Don John Constantine of Quitsallan, but on the other hand, he wanted to gain the respect of Camilo Torric.

So he took the initiative to step forward and beat and kicked the townsman: "Damn you, I let you escape, I will beat you to death, Don Camilo Torric will not let you go."

The townsman originally wanted to resist, but after hearing the name of Camilo Torick, he gave up helplessly.

After being severely beaten, his face was full of resentment.

When they passed by the hardware store, Meridon Benito gave some advice: "When Don John Constantine comes back, you can ask him for help. I heard from Justino that Don John Constantine is a fair and respectable man."

The townspeople were thoughtful.

There were also townspeople whose houses were destroyed by the strong winds in February and who had no money to repair them, and were in tears.

Someone also suggested: "You can seek help from Don John Constantine, he will help you..."

……

This time, when going to God's Road to suppress bandits, Quetshalan and the rural cavalry patrol teams from several nearby areas jointly enforced the law.

Pablo is only the leader of Quitsallan, and the real leader of this team is called Francia.

Francia looked at Aguirre Ida, Miguel Esteban and the timid Justino in the team with a twinkling eye, and asked Pablo: "When will John Constantine arrive?"

Pablo was unsure.

He gritted his teeth and said, "It's almost there. We're heading this way."

Francia looked at him sinisterly. "Our plan has been approved by Governor Calderón Velazquez, and it also has the support of several landowners. Don't play tricks on me."

Pablo laughed dryly, "How could that be? Everything went according to plan."

"As long as you know."

Aguirre Ida looked sideways at them from behind and whispered to Miguel Esteban and Justino, "What are they talking about? It's obvious that they have ulterior motives."

Miguel Esteban agreed: "Let's be careful."

Justino was frightened by what the two said: "When will Don John Constantine come?"

Aguilera Ida touched the small copper eye on the outside of his clothes and said, "Don't worry, Don John Constantine will definitely come."
