Immortal Master

Chapter 117 114: The deceased

After years of fighting, the professionals in the inner city of Chaos City suffered a lot.

The residents groaned.

Especially recently, after learning that the desert was blocked, the resentment among professionals in the city reached its peak.

However, the Lord of Chaos City was indifferent to this.

Whether it is wartime or at this time, she has only one way to control the city.

That is strength oppression!
Those who are obedient stay, and those who are disobedient are cut off!
The high-intensity oppression brought about by this kind of strength has made most residents live cautiously in the inner city of Chaos City.

Seriously recalling, this miserable and inappropriate life began after the town of the dead appeared in Chaos City.

Before that, they lived in the inner city of Chaos City, most of them willingly.

Although the city lord is there, he doesn't care about things most of the time. Even if someone occasionally violates the most important regulations in the city and goes to the outer city, it is only a simple fine and will not suffer physical pain.

After all, this is also their privilege as residents of the inner city, and they don't have to suffer a lot because of littering like residents of the outer city.

But after the town of the dead appeared in Chaos City, all this changed.

The rules in the city suddenly became stricter, and they were divided into small groups, and the residents in the small groups ate, drank, and messed with each other, all together.

And there is joint liability.

One person committed a crime, and the whole team was buried with him.

That's right, it's a funeral.

Under the high pressure, everyone in the inner city of Chaos City panicked, and treated the team members with kindness and gentleness.

It is no longer the previous beatings, scolding or threats...

They are also afraid, afraid that their bad attitude will make the opponent in the same team unable to bear it, and take the initiative to commit crimes by injuring one thousand enemies and ten thousand themselves, implicating the entire team and encountering unwarranted disasters.

This change was not eased until the war with the orcs, so that the entire team would not be shot to death just because one person in the team littered...

If it is pursued, since the town of the dead left, the owner of Chaos City seems to have changed.

She didn't care at all how the residents in the city cursed her, the only thing she cared about was how to further squeeze these guys.

The lord of Chaos City is better than Ankai just for squeezing the residents.

An Kai didn't shoot the residents to death because of littering...

Not to mention unreasonable involvement.

When Ankai and Malken sneaked into the inner city of Chaos City, he saw this strange sight.

There are as many as a dozen people, as few as five or six people, inseparable, no matter where they go, they are always together.

And on the faces of these people, even if it was a truce with the orcs, there was no leisurely and relaxed mood.

On the contrary, it is more tense and fearful.

Stepping back three times, not only observing the surrounding environment, but also observing the behavior of the companions around you...

"This is?"

An Kai was quite puzzled, not knowing what these guys had gone through.

In the [Branch Plot], there is no mention of the lifestyle in the inner city of Chaos City...

This strange scene in the city made An Kai's heart skip a beat.

"Aren't these guys all poor ghosts?"

He frowned slightly, and then told Malcolm to follow a small team of six people and return to their home...

When An Kai saw the scene in their home, An Kai was dumbfounded...

It is no exaggeration to say that the mice wept when they came.

The walls of the house are bare, and as far as the eye can see, there is not a single bit of food.

Someone took out a palm-sized piece of moldy black bread from his pocket, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Excited expressions appeared on their faces. All six of them were assigned a piece of moldy bread of the same size by a stronger professional.

Biting in the mouth, there was a crunching sound.

But the six people showed satisfied expressions. Of the six people, the one with the lowest strength also has the second and third ranks, and the one with the highest strength is the third rank.

At this moment, he was satisfied because he ate a moldy piece of bread that tasted like a brick.

What they experienced, An Kai didn't know.

But through the performance of these six people, he confirmed one thing, that is, the food shortage in the Good Household is much worse than here.

At least the residents of the House of Good will not be satisfied with a piece of moldy bread.

They just call life unfair...

An Kai and Malken, who had witnessed all this, looked at each other and saw the puzzlement and doubt in each other's eyes...

When Ankai and Malken were puzzled, the six of them finished eating the bread in their hands.

There was an annoyed expression on his face, as if he was annoyed because he didn't leave any food for next time...

"Stinky bitch, don't let me leave here!"

"That stinking bitch treats us as human beings, why no one resists?"

"Resist? Can you fight against a Tier [-] professional? Or an earth-type 【Elemental Mage】!"

"Damn! One day, I will kill her!"

"Save your energy, if the orcs come, you will have to work hard..."

"Made! This stinky bitch!"

"Oh...the bread is delicious..."

...

In the house, some of the six people scolded the lord of Chaos City angrily, some accepted the reality, but they all had one thing in common, they were all complaining about the injustice of life at this time.

And Ankai and Malken, who had been watching, suddenly opened their eyes wide!

In Malken's sight, there was a silk thread above the heads of the six people with a breath of scolding, which rose into the air and rushed towards one direction...

In An Kai's eyes, phantoms similar in appearance to the six of them flew out of their bodies, with angry faces, cursing the unfairness of life in their mouths, and continuously rising into the air.

An Kai stood in a room without a roof, looked up into the sky, but saw a torrent of many phantoms...

When he looked, there were still people reaching out to him in the torrent, inviting him to join.

At this moment, a disturbing emotion suddenly appeared in my heart...

An Kai subconsciously activated [Meditation], and his upset mood disappeared...

"My lord...this city may be a formation..."

Malcolm spoke slowly with uncertainty.

Without him, the formation that can cover a city and affect the entire city cannot be completed overnight.

Moreover, the requirements for those who arrange the formation are also very high.

Before coming to the desert, Malken had only seen a formation covering a house at most...

The existence of that kind of formation can already be called a sentence: the formation is strong!
however…

After arriving in the desert, Malken was dumbfounded.

First, I encountered a formation that sealed off the entire desert, and now in a city, I saw a formation that enveloped a city and could affect the emotions of the residents indiscriminately...

When did the formation become so simple?

An Kai nodded when he heard Malken's words. After the two exchanged what they saw, An Kai confirmed that this is the formation.

Malken was curious and didn't understand why An Kai could see it more clearly than him.

But he didn't think much about it, he was used to the magic of An Kai...

The reason why An Kai sees it more clearly than Malken is because of his [meditation].

The [Meditation] spell that comes from time travel, as the proficiency increases, the effect will become more and more...

After observing for a while, it was found that the six people were venting for a while, and then fell asleep. An Kai and Malken exited the room.

At this moment, there are two choices before An Kai, one is to leave here, the other is to continue exploring...

It is not An Kai's character to work so hard, to give up the Home of Goodness, to come here, and to return empty-handed...

After thinking about it again and again, and confirming with Malken, the two were going to leave after some exploration.

At this moment, An Kai also understood why the lord of Chaos City left Chaos City carelessly.

It turns out that here, like him, there is also a backup.

The existence of this formation is the best defense, not to mention that at the end of the torrent of human phantoms, there will inevitably be strong people.

The probability of the fifth order is very high...

Malcolm's breath enveloped An Kai, and the two walked in the opposite direction of the phantom torrent.

As for exploring the secrets at the end of the torrent?
An Kai is not interested, and he doesn't like to explore such unknown things...

He's here to ask for money, and before it's exposed, it's the right way to search for resources.

...

Deep within the inner city of Chaos City.

It is also the end of the torrent of phantom figures.

There is an old castle built underground.

The whole body of the castle is black, with no doors and windows, no entrances and exits.

In the castle, there is only one main hall and no other rooms.

The empty hall was pitch black, and you couldn't see your fingers.

Only the ground of the main hall emits a faint light. If you observe carefully, you can see the veins of some hexagrams...

The end point of the torrent of human-shaped phantoms is exactly the middle position of this six-pointed star formation...

There, there was a figure in a black robe sitting cross-legged...

A torrent of human-shaped phantoms poured into her body in an orderly pace...

"Oh? Has my promotion accident happened again?"

"Ah!"

The cold voice slowly resounded in the hall, in front of the figure, a round mirror suddenly appeared...

In the mirror are empty and uninhabited streets in the inner city of Chaos City...

"Hidden figure?"

"No fun!"

The figure sitting cross-legged on the six-pointed star array gave a light drink of disdain, and the mirror disappeared.

For her, it doesn't matter any accidents, as long as it doesn't affect her promotion.

Everyone thought that the lord of Chaos City had suddenly changed his temperament.

Actually not...

All this is because of her!
"The orcs evacuated, did they discover a secret?"

"It's also possible that the 28th prince is afraid of death!"

"However, with the current strength of the Home of Goodness, it is enough for my promotion needs."

"Heh! Old thing, closing the desert? I want to see, which of us will take this step first!"

"Astrology, astrology... I am the brightest star..."

After a few murmurs, the dark castle fell into silence again.

Only the torrent of human-shaped phantoms that are constantly opening and closing in their mouths are constantly pouring into this place...

...

Looking in the opposite direction of the flood, Ankai and Malken finally saw the existence of the store.

The first one is an equipment forging shop.

When Ankai and Malkan entered with joy...

"unlucky!"

Inside the store, there was only a dry body that had been dead for an unknown amount of time.

As for equipment or something, there is none.

Even the wooden floor was stripped clean by later generations.

In the empty street, there are more and more shops. At the end of this street, An Kai also saw the existence of the reward building that he was thinking about.

It's a pity that there were two silver pillars made of silver coins in front of the former reward building, but now they are nowhere to be seen.

An Kai and Malken searched one by one until they reached the entrance of the reward building, but they found nothing...

Although the store exists, there is nothing inside.

One is cleaner than the other...

There is only a finger-thick dust, which proves that no one has entered the shop for a long time.

Xuanshang Building is also the only open shop on this shop street.

Different from the reward building in the outer city, the cool and beautiful woman who once stood at the door to welcome guests has disappeared.

Entering it, the dilapidated atmosphere rushed over.

On the first floor of the reward building with a good figure and a handsome body, the beautiful woman in charge of the exchange has also turned into an old man who can hardly breathe.

Leaning on the empty bar counter, panting with difficulty.

A state of dying at any time...

At this moment, the emotion of "blood loss" reverberated in An Kai's heart...

"My lord... the second level and the fourth level..."

Malken said something in a low voice, and he was talking about the old man who was struggling to breathe.

Other than that, Malcolm didn't say anything more.

An Kai's complexion became increasingly ugly to the naked eye.

Judging from Malken's past experience, if he opens his mouth to say something at this time, it is very likely that he will become An Kai's unlucky person to vent his anger...

Looking at Ankai's increasingly ugly face, Malken thought to himself that it was a pity. If he had known this, he would have brought Nurnicius with him.

In this way, An Kai has an outlet to vent, and he doesn't have to worry about it...

"Careless!" Malken silently wrote down in his heart, if this happens again next time, he must remember to bring that dog of Nurnicius...

The reward building in the inner city of Chaos City is the same as that in the outer city.

It also has three floors.

An Kai, who did not give up, continued to walk to the second floor with Malken.

Stepping into the second floor, it is almost the same as the first floor, with a sense of bankruptcy. Unlike the first floor, there is not even a guard who is struggling to breathe.

Empty, empty.

But An Kai, who had just stepped here, smiled, and he and Malken looked towards the stairs together.

There, there was a faint smell of meat.

Under such circumstances, in the inner city of Chaos City, can anyone still eat meat?
An Kai felt that this time, he should not return empty-handed...

Malken also let out a long sigh of relief. He thought the same as An Kai. It seems that he doesn't need to suffer from unwarranted disasters...

Under the cover of the gray atmosphere, Ankai and Malken walked towards the third floor...

It took only two seconds for the two of them to reach the third floor.

A fat man's back was facing them, roasting fresh animal meat.

These are not important. What really satisfied An Kai was the detectors scattered all over the place, and several wooden boxes that emitted waves of magic stones.

The detectors can be sold to refugees from the Seven Kingdoms, which is a good income.

What really surprised and pleased An Kai was that he didn't expect to see an old friend here.

And the old man prepared such a generous gift for himself.

With Malken in front and An Kai in the back, the two stepped forward and entered the third floor...

"Fifth Tier! Fifth Tier! Fifth Tier!"

"Unknown...first order...unknown..."

As soon as the two entered, two sharp voices suddenly came to mind on the third floor.

Seeing the fat man who was grilling the meat suddenly startled, he quickly turned around, looked at the empty entrance, and then heaved a long sigh of relief:

"My lord, the emotion detector has not been researched yet, but I guess it will be soon."

"My body attribute detector is about to succeed. When it is used with the emotion detector, it will definitely bring the most suitable puppet to the adults."

"It's a pity that I don't have many Philosopher's Stones and gold coins here. As you know, my detectors are all made of gold coins and Philosopher's Stones..."

"If you can...hehehe..."

The fat man rubbed his hands, and when he spoke, the flesh on his face swayed back and forth...

He thought that the person who came was a strong man behind the scenes in the inner city of the fifth-order chaos city. After all, every time the strong man came here, he would hide his figure...

As for the first-order sound, he automatically ignored it as a malfunction...

As everyone knows, it's not the detector failure, but his old friend from the city outside the Chaos City who came here.

An Kai took a step forward and came to Fatty.

Grabbing his neck violently, he lifted the fat man up: "Fatty man, you live very well in this inner city of chaos!"

"Uh...you bastard..."
