Zongman: About my reincarnation as a slime

Chapter 217·Sorry, I remembered it wrong
In the northern district of E-Rantel City, the originally smooth streets began to become uneven. The earthy ground was exposed under the worn-out stone slabs. The muddy muddy water in the potholes of different sizes exuded a foul smell, even on both sides of the road. Excrement can be clearly seen in the shadows of dilapidated houses.

This is the slum of E-Rantel. Compared with the bright and beautiful city center, this place is synonymous with dirt and stench. This kind of place has no order at all. Ordinary civilians don't even dare to go near it, because after walking in Whether he can come out alive is a question.

And due to the indulgence of the upper-class ruling nobles of E-Rantel, the entire slum has completely become a dark gathering place in the city, where even children who look extremely pitiful on the roadside can easily take the lives of ordinary people.

Here, it is completely synonymous with chaos and disorder.

"Owner."

At this time, Youli, who had been walking behind Lu Minghao, suddenly stepped forward and pointed at a dark alley not far away with a frown, where several children in tattered clothes stared at them like hungry hyenas. .

If the five adventurers who took over Lu Minghao's commission didn't look so easy to deal with, Yuli had no doubt that those children would rush out and snatch away all their treasures, food and even clothes.

"Do not care."

Lu Minghao glanced casually in the direction pointed by Youli. As early as when he stepped here, Lu Minghao noticed that there were eyes constantly looking at him and Youli in the corner. The eyes were like a predator seeing delicious food. Waiting Kill the prey at the right time and eat it up.

"Don't worry, these guys don't dare to come out when we are here, but the premise is that these noble young masters and your maids don't stay too far away from me."

Beside, an adventurer who had been playing with the dagger in his hand also heard the conversation between Lu Minghao and Youli. He raised a gloomy smile and glanced around the corners of the surrounding streets. Lu Minghao and Youli were the prey they were targeting. , at least until you reach the cemetery.

As for why they chose this road to go to the cemetery, it was simply because it was the closest road to the cemetery, and because it was close to the cemetery, ordinary residents did not dare to approach this place at all. Except for the real poor, the only people who could live here were the real poor. The rest are all criminals who have triggered the laws of the Empire and residents of the Dark World.

It can be said that a mere murderer here is completely the lowest level of existence, because guys stronger and more evil than murderers can be seen everywhere.

"Really? Then I ask you, adventurers, to protect me."

After Lu Minghao heard the words of the adventurer next to him, he said with a gentle smile, but in fact he was looking at the alley not far away with interest, where a few teenagers had just killed a bald man with a sneak attack. The tattooed man, at this time, the teenagers were constantly looting all the valuable things from the dead bald man.

Judging from the extremely skilled look, he has long been a veteran at this, as if this kind of thing is at least a daily routine for those young people.

'The scenery here is really nice. '

Looking at the young men who skillfully threw the corpses into the garbage after the search was completed, Lu Minghao couldn't help but curl up his lips. Such a ruthless young man who did not procrastinate in his work could be regarded as a good idea for what Lu Minghao was going to do next. Tool of'.

And here, there are many, many people like this. People like these who have lived in darkness since childhood, once they have the opportunity to obtain power, they will not care about the source and method of power at all.

The world view of the jungle will make them embark on the path of chasing power, and after gaining power, they can freely vent their instinctive desires.

"It's really a good place."

After sighing in a voice that only he could hear, Lu Minghao withdrew his gaze and followed the adventurers ahead. The most important thing at the moment was to capture the guy called the Immortal King. After all, he could rule the entire kingdom underground. The eight fingers of power are still very useful to me.

Then, as the houses around them became more and more dilapidated, even the number of residents hiding in the houses began to decrease. Only Lu Minghao and his group walked forward on the dead streets, and the atmosphere around them began to become weird. stand up.

This place can already be regarded as the edge of the city, and it is not far from the cemetery where the undead roam. In this case, even the vicious guys in the slums are not willing to get close to this place. After all, the death energy seeping from the cemetery will not be there unless it is If you want to die, you will try to stay away from here.

After completely walking out of the dilapidated streets, a dilapidated city wall that looked like it had not been repaired for a long time appeared in front of Lu Minghao. On the wall, there were several soldiers in armor sitting together, looking like they had nothing to do, chatting about something. , without any vigilance at all.

"We are adventurers from the Adventurer's Guild. We have a mission to go to the cemetery."

At this time, the adventurer at the front stepped forward and skillfully took out a few bottles of wine and threw them on the city wall. Then he pointed to the outside of the city gate and said. The soldiers above had a look on their faces after receiving the wine thrown at them. Rong, and then opened the city gate directly without any questioning.

"Let's go."

Ahead, the gloomy-looking adventurer looked at the open city gate and turned back to smile at Lu Minghao and Youli. At this time, the malice in his eyes could no longer be concealed. After all, after leaving the city gate, Lu Minghao It is normal for this kind of employer to die.

After all, it is common knowledge that adventurers encounter danger.

"Ah."

On the opposite side, Lu Minghao completely ignored the malicious looks of the adventurers beside him, picked up Yuli beside him and walked towards the city gate, while a few soldiers on the city wall were happily drinking the wine in their hands. As for what happened below, they didn't bother to care.

"Boss, something seems wrong?"

Looking at Lu Minghao and Youli who walked out unprepared in front of them, they were directly defeated by a few adventurers. According to past practice, Lu Minghao and Youli should not look at them with fear at this time, or even use them Bring all the things you have with you as soon as you start.

There are no Lu Minghao and Youli like this. It is obvious that their malicious intentions have reached the point where even a slightly normal person can see it, but Lu Minghao and Youli have no reaction at all.

"Bah! Whether he is pretending to be stupid or really stupid, it doesn't make any difference in the end."

Glancing at his companions, the gloomy-faced man spat out his mouth and smeared it, staring at the backs of Lu Minghao and Youli with a ferocious look on his face. Until now, he didn't bother to care so much, and on the way here, he He also secretly tested Lu Minghao and Youli.

No matter from any aspect of performance, they are just ordinary people without any training. To these mithril-level adventurers, they are completely weak chickens who can be killed at will.

"Follow!"

"Yes, boss!"

Afterwards, several adventurers walked out of the city gate and followed Lu Minghao and Youli in front, and even skillfully surrounded Lu Minghao and Youli in the middle. In this way, no matter what Lu Minghao and Youli wanted to do, they were sure not to let anyone go. .

"What a peaceful day!"

On the city wall, a drunken soldier looked at Lu Minghao and his group walking away with blurry eyes. An inexplicable smile appeared on his face. He grabbed the bottle and drank all the wine inside, then fell asleep leaning against the city wall. As for what will happen outside the city, what if we know about it?
He is just a little soldier who was marginalized and powerless. The passion and justice he once had when he was young have long been flattened by the poison of reality.

Outside the city, the surrounding environment became more and more gloomy as we continued to advance. The withered trees on both sides of the road were filled with crows. Their unpleasant cries continued to echo in the sky. A pair of bloodthirsty eyes stared at the passers-by below. of several people.

"Quack!" At this moment, a black crow suddenly flew up above a collapsed tombstone in front of him and hovered above Lu Minghao and others, screaming continuously. The unpleasant sound made Yuli subconsciously raise her head and glare at him. A second ago, The crow that was still squawking exploded instantly, and scattered flesh, flesh and feathers fell to the ground.

"!!!"

On the side, several adventurers who had been staring at Lu Minghao and Youli discovered this instantly. Especially the gloomy man who was the captain's eyes widened a lot, and his eyes were full of horror as he looked at the transformation. The meat-making crow and the stupid-looking maid.

'What the hell just happened? '

This question appeared in the minds of the five ill-intentioned adventurers at the same time, especially when Yuli turned her head to look at them, a smile appeared on her pretty face, and a thick uneasiness completely enveloped them.

"Ah? What happened to the adventurers?"

Suddenly, Lu Minghao, who was walking at the front, stopped, turned around, looked at the adventurers who were sweating constantly on their heads, and asked with a smile, but that gentle smile looked so gentle at the moment. weird.

"Nothing!"

The gloomy man who was the captain immediately showed a kind smile. He raised his head and wiped the cold sweat on his face to show that they were fine. Then when he saw Lu Minghao and Youli turning around and continuing to move forward, he smiled. An expression of relief.

At that moment, he seemed to see an indescribable terrifying existence grinning at them. He had an intuition that if his reaction was just a second slower, they would most likely be dead.

After a while, as Lu Minghao and his party moved forward, almost all the surrounding trees disappeared. Looking at the empty ground, there were endless tombstones. From time to time, one or two abandoned cemeteries and decaying bones could even be seen. Being thrown aside casually.

And in the center of the cemetery where the eyes are wary, a dilapidated-looking church stands there. Unlike those churches that look full of sanctity, this church standing in the cemetery gives people a sense of leisure running out of it. Even the undead would not be surprised at all.

"That church, do you guys know what's going on?"

In front of the cemetery, Lu Minghao raised his finger and pointed at the church in the distance, looking at the adventurers around him and asking. According to Lu Minghao's perception, the death aura there was the strongest in the entire cemetery. Unsurprisingly, the one called the Immortal King Little ants are hiding there too.

"I don't know. That church existed a long time ago, but few people dare to go near it."

An adventurer spoke quickly after hearing Lu Minghao's words. As a local who grew up in E-Rantel, he knew about the church in the center of the cemetery, but he never dared to go near it.

"Really? Thank you for the information. In addition, according to the mission entrustment, you have completed the mission by sending me here."

As he spoke, Lu Minghao looked at the five adventurers beside him. The adventurers opposite him who were swept by Lu Minghao's gaze instinctively wanted to take out their weapons out of fear, but their bodies were completely disobedient, as if they were standing in front of them. It is completely a higher-level existence, and the body does not even allow the thought of resistance.

"Yuli, the next step is up to you. I'll go to the church to do something."

"Okay, master, don't worry!"

Hearing Lu Minghao's words, Yuli nodded her head and looked at the several adventurers who could not move in front of her with a stupid look. She had already known what she thought about these guys when she first saw them. You know, after all, as a dependent of [Lust], she can easily sense the desire they radiate.

"Ah."

After casually glancing at Youli, Lu Minghao was too lazy to pay attention to what was going to happen next and walked directly towards the cathedral in the center of the cemetery ahead. Behind him, shrill, desperate screams and pleas continued to sound.

A few minutes later, the gloomy male adventurer who was the captain fell heavily to the ground. His blurred consciousness reminded him of the people who had begged him when he killed them. It turns out that this is how death feels.

On the other side, Lu Minghao walked into the cathedral and looked around casually, looking directly through the walls and the ground at the undead hidden inside. Then he lowered his head and looked towards the ground, looking directly through the thick ground. To a natural cave deep underground.

"found it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Minghao's body disappeared and appeared in a cave deep underground. The dim cave walls were inlaid with glowing magic stones, and on a stone chair in the cave, a body The old man wearing a red mage robe and a skull necklace hanging around his neck, with an ugly face that looked like a corpse, was looking at Lu Minghao who suddenly appeared in shock.

"Are you the Immortal King Khajiit?"

Lu Minghao raised his head and looked at the old man on the chair in front of him and asked calmly, completely ignoring the undead that emerged from the corner and several magicians in black robes staring at him.

"Who are you and why are you here?"

With that said, the Immortal King Khajit stood up from the stone chair, looked at Lu Minghao with a ferocious expression and asked, except for a few people, no one else knew about the news he was hiding here.

"It doesn't matter who I am, what's important is that I need you to be my 'tool', or I am the 'eight fingers' that need you to rule,"

"Huh? Eight Fingers? When did I become the leader of Eight Fingers?"

Opposite, the Immortal King Khajiit showed a confused expression after hearing Lu Minghao's words. Why didn't he remember when he became one of the leaders of the Eight Fingers? He did know about the Eight Fingers that ruled the entire kingdom's underground world, but He didn't remember that he was the leader of Eight Fingers.

"Huh? You're not the leader of Eight Fingers? Wait, let me think about it."

Opposite Khajiit, Lu Minghao was looking at Khajiit in confusion at this time. According to Lu Minghao's perception, Khajiit was indeed not lying, which also meant that he might not be the leader of Eight Fingers.

Thinking of this, Lu Minghao began to carefully recall the news about the world of Bone King, and then Lu Minghao realized that Khajiit was not one of the eight-fingered leaders from the beginning to the end.

"Well, I'm sorry, I seem to have remembered it wrong. I really should sort out my memory."

In the cave, Lu Minghao, who already knew that he had made a mistake, raised his hand and waved to Khajiit above him. It turned out that he had made a mistake from beginning to end. Fortunately, he knew about it, otherwise
"Oh! By the way, you still know about this, so now please bid farewell to this world with peace of mind."

After saying that, Lu Minghao didn't give Khajiit any time to answer. He directly raised his fingertips and a dark red magic cannon the size of a grain of rice appeared. The next second, Lu Minghao's figure disappeared from the place and appeared on the ground, followed closely. A huge roar came from the ground, and the earth began to shake.

"Really, it seems that the matter of Eight Fingers still has to go back to the capital to get it done, but at least the purpose of coming out this time has been fulfilled."
