The Kind Death God
Chapter 58: Downfall merchant
West Africa raised his water glass and laughed loudly: "Drinking is not allowed in the barracks. Today, I will bring wine with water to apologize for our previous offense to the elders of the Bright Tiger Army." Almost all the senior generals of the Bright Tiger Army are present. , Including Siri, the leader of the magician regiment who usually doesn't have much contact with the army, stood up and raised the water cup together.
Dui hurriedly stood up and said awkwardly: "I understand that you also have difficulties, so how can you blame you."
The high-ranking generals of the Bright Tiger Army praised Ah Dui's powerful strength without hesitation, and the feast took two hours to end in a cheerful atmosphere.
West Africa personally led the three dumbs to the border, "Elder, if you encounter any danger in the sunset empire, you will come back immediately. As long as you come to us, we will be able to guarantee your safety. However, my concerns should be all It was in vain. With your powerful strength, how could the despicable guys of the Sunset Empire hurt you."
Sri said: "Elder Adu, you are the most powerful magician I have ever seen. You can maintain your summoned creatures for more than an hour, even I haven't seen them in magic books!"
Rock has long been annoyed by the praise of these people, and said impatiently: "Well, don't bother you to send it away, we have to hurry. Dumb, let's go."
Xifei and the others returned to the barracks after watching the three dumbs disappear. Feeling anxious, I went to write a report letter to Aldous.
Finally entering the territory of the sunset empire, Ah-Dai took the elf bracelet out of the blood of the dragon, and said: "Those generals are so enthusiastic, my head is so dizzy!" For Ah-Dai, it can be said that it is the worst thing at all. Today What he said in the barracks was more than what he said in his usual ten days.
Yanli laughed and said: "Whoever allows you to summon such a powerful silver dragon, it is no wonder that they will continue to flatter you. Dumb brother, when you encounter enemies in the future, you only need to summon the dragon, who can be us? Opponents. Those nobles of the Sunset Empire are nothing at all."
Dumb shook his head and said, "Actually, Sheng Xie is just a little dragon. Its strength is very limited, but it was exaggerated by the commander of West Africa. Although the dragon is powerful, it is not invincible." He clearly understood. How strong the Holy Evil is. If he uses the life transformation and the mysterious iron bow, the Holy Evil cannot resist it. The main reason for the strong shock in the barracks lies in the powerful and mysterious dragon. Deterrence played by creatures.
Rock said: "Dumb is right. No matter what you do, you still have enough strength to be guaranteed. Dragons can't be summoned every time. We have to work hard to cultivate in the process of searching for elves. "The three of them said as they entered the dark province of the Sunset Empire. Contrary to the garrison of large troops in the province of light, the territory of the province of darkness is very calm. The three passed through a hilly area and entered the plain. They didn't dare to walk too fast, and moved forward in a roundabout way, using the power of the elves bracelet to inquire whether there were elves around them.
Sunset over the mansion of the Lord of Dark City, the capital of the dark province of the Empire.
The five dark magicians and four assassins who attacked the remnants of the wizards’ guild were scattered in a large dark room.
The door opened, and a ray of light came in from outside. A middle-aged man in a Chinese suit approached the room. He closed the door with his backhand, and the darkness returned to the room. The killers were still scattered around, while the five dark magicians stood up.
The middle-aged man asked faintly: "What was the result of this trip. Why did Aldous of the Bright Province concentrate all the troops on the border? Did you reveal the purpose of this trip?"
Behind the hands of the leading Dark Mage, the voice was a little hoarse: "The Mage Union is stronger than we thought. This sneak attack did not succeed."
The middle-aged man frowned and said, "I didn't succeed? How far did it fail? Is it because of your reasons that Aldous's Bright Tiger Army assembled?"
The Dark Mage snorted coldly and said: "Don't speak to me in the tone of asking your subordinates. This action really failed completely. No one from the Mage Union died in our hands. It's just the defenders in the Light Province. In the pursuit, we killed hundreds of ordinary soldiers."
The cold light in the eyes of the middle-aged people can still be clearly seen even in the dimly lit room, "Total failure? Why did the plan fail completely? It is impossible for the wizards' guild to be prepared beforehand, and break so many manpower, what do you tell me? Explain to the Grand Duke. You can explain what happened."
"Hmph, you don't need to explain it, I'll talk about it with the Grand Duke. There is no need to explain to you again, we will prepare the carriage immediately, and we will rush back to Sunset City."
The middle-aged man exudes a hint of cold air, his tone is cold without any emotion, "Why can't you explain to me. Don't forget that I am the planner of this operation."
The black-robed magician was not at all intimidated by the other person's appearance, and said disdainfully: "Because you don't deserve to listen to my explanation. Don't forget what I am. Don't say that you are just a little viscount, you are Lord Duke. It’s also very respectful to me. I don’t have time to argue with you here, so hurry up and prepare my car. I’m going back to the leader."
The middle-aged man's body trembled slightly. He barely suppressed his monstrous anger. The power behind the Dark Mage was beyond his reach. Even if the Lord Duke had to rely on them, he tried to control his voice calmly, saying: "The car is already ready, you can go now."
The black-robed magician said calmly: "Let's go." Go to the door first. Opening the door, he stopped under the light from outside, and his long back was covering the middle-aged man. He turned his back to the middle-aged man and said, "Since you are a direct line of the Duke, I remind you. There is a young magician with superb martial skills in the Wizards’ Guild. This action was destroyed by him. I didn’t see how his magic is, but his martial skills are very good. Moreover, I used it in the Wizards’ Guild. The call of the devil, but after waiting for news, we discovered that the taboo call of the devil did not cause casualties to the wizards’ union. Think about it.” After that, we left with the four wizards and the remaining assassins. . With a bang, the last person who went out slammed the door shut, leaving only the middle-aged man called the Viscount himself in the room.
The anger in the middle-aged man's heart was dispelled by the last words of the Dark Mage. Muttered: "Devil's call? That guy actually used the devil's call. Doesn't he know how dangerous this magic is? And the wizards' union actually took this magic down. A young magician who knows martial arts, It seems that this operation cannot be said to be a complete failure. At the very least, I have inquired about Huasheng's details. Unexpectedly, they also have hidden forces." Thinking of this, his pale face showed a vicious look.
"Come here." The middle-aged man shouted. A slender figure pushed the door open until it flashed in through a gap. A pleasant but cold voice sounded, "Master."
"Through my order, all previous deployments were cancelled, and all personnel returned to their posts on standby. At the same time, they ordered the eagle to sneak into the province of light, inquire about the situation of a young magician who knows martial arts, and report back as soon as he finds it. Let the spies always pay attention to the movements of the troops assembled in the Guangming Province, and quickly report back if there is an abnormality."
"Yes, Master." The figure flashed, and the slender figure disappeared. A wicked smile appeared at the corner of the middle-aged man's mouth, and he followed the slender figure and left the room. The dark room fell silent, without a trace of life fluctuation.
The sky had darkened, and the three of A Duan stopped at a mountain bag sheltered from the wind.
Yan Li sat down on the ground and said dissatisfied: "It's good to stay in the barracks for the night. I have to hurry in the evening. This is good. If you don't reach the village in front of you, you will have to sleep in the wild again."
Ah Dui said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Big Brother Yanli, but those generals are so enthusiastic. I'm afraid that if they don't leave, I'm afraid they will be unable to sleep during the night."
Yanli laughed and said, "Okay, no need to explain, just joking with you. Quickly, use your fire magic to make a bonfire. It's just three months old, and the chill is still quite enough." Refers to the branches and some leaves on the ground that the three of us just gathered.
Ah Dui promised and chanted a spell that hadn't been used for a long time, "Fire elements flooding the heavens and the earth! Please give me your warm strength, condensed into a ball, and now in my hand." Dui clearly felt the surroundings keep moving. The fire element condensed by himself, the little red glow continued to converge, and with a puff, Dumb's hand lit up, and a dark blue fireball with a diameter of about ten centimeters was burning like it came from hell. Dumb was shocked, has his mental power improved again? Why the fireball is so big, and it seems that the heat has increased a lot.
Duan’s magic power has increased, no, it should be said that his mind control has increased. For the past six months, when he is practicing and transforming every day, he has been concentrating on controlling the vital energy in his body with his consciousness and gradually transforming into a solid form. , And then change into various appearances, which enables his mental power to be continuously cultivated. Although he did not deliberately meditate, his spiritual power has improved to a certain extent, and it is even more handy to control the magical elements. Ah Dai stretched out his left hand, Yunqi became mad, his fingers flashed with a faint white light, and with a flick on the fireball, a little blue spark suddenly floated out, although there was only a little spark, but it fell into the pyre But the whole pile of branches was lit at once, and the dark night suddenly lit up, and the three of them felt their bodies warm at the same time. They put their hands by the fire to warm their bodies. Yan Li said, "Dumb, I will go find some branches, the fire is bigger, I guess these are not enough to burn overnight." After speaking, he turned and walked towards the small woods not far away.
As the three of them ate too much today, they are not hungry now, Dui and Rock found some leftover leaves from the winter and piled them together, temporarily using them as beds, ready to sleep.
Rock said: "Brother Dumb, I am afraid it will not be easy for us to find the elves this time. If we want to travel to every corner of the Sunset Empire, I am afraid that two years will not be enough. What's more, I don't know if other countries are involved in those The captive elves, if any, will be more troublesome."
Dumb thought for a while, and said, "Big Brother Rock, we discussed last time that since the elves were taken away by the thieves’ guild, they should be sold to great nobles who can afford a starting price. I think, since they are great nobles. , It should not be in some remote places. Although the sunset empire is very large, there should not be too many cities inhabited by great nobles. As long as we look for these big cities as the primary goal, we should have certain gains. , As long as we can find the people of the elven clan, from their mouths, we will inevitably get some information, and then it will be much more convenient to find them, what do you think?"
The rock stared at Dumb stupidly, only to react for a while, and smiled: "Dumb, when did you become smart. This is indeed a good way!"
Dumb scratched his head, and said in embarrassment, "I can't say anything smart, but I just said it when I suddenly had this idea, brother, do you think it is feasible?"
Rock laughed and said, "Of course it is possible. This may be the best way now. Come, let me see, which is the closest big city to us?" As he said, he took out the map from his arms and spread it on the ground. First find their own location, and then look around. "Well, that's it. We are in the dark province. The capital of the dark province, the dark city is the largest city here. We are already very close to here. Let's start from here, and then we will search for the capital of every province. City, the final goal is to sunset the capital of the empire."
Dumb nodded and said: "Okay, let's hurry up tomorrow and go directly to the dark province. I hope this first stop will be rewarding."
"Let go of me, let me go, you let me die, let me die. What's the point of me being alive." Cries kept coming, dumb and rock stared in amazement, only Yan Li was walking from the woods He ran over, as if there was still a person under his arm, that person was struggling constantly, and the crying sound seemed to be his origin.
Yanli's body soared up and fell beside Ah-Dai and Rock. With a loose hand, he threw the man caught on the ground. He was a middle-aged man, his clothes were torn in many places, and his face was pale. He was thrown to the ground in an embarrassed manner. He suddenly screamed in pain, got up, pointed to Yan Li’s nose and cursed, "You short winter melon, whoever uses you to be nosy, I don’t even have the right to die. Huh? I want you to take care of it. What are you doing?" He spoke fluently in the Holy Vatican, so that all three of them could understand.
His yelling touched Yan Li's reverse scales, black light flashed, and a battle axe had been placed on his neck, Yan Li said bitterly: "Who do you think is a short winter melon?"
The middle-aged man snorted and said: "Of course it means you, you kill, kill me just right, I don't want to live long ago."
Duan and Shishi looked at the middle-aged man in surprise, Shishi asked, "Ali, what's going on? How did you find Chai and someone to come back."
Yan Li angrily said: "This guy is a jerk. I saw him hang himself in the woods just now, so I kindly saved him, but he scolded me. I knew I would let him die."
Dumb stood up, walked to the middle-aged man, put Yanli's battle axe aside, and said in a peaceful voice, "Uncle, you can't think of anything, you have to die? If you die, you can't live."
The middle-aged man gave a blank look and said, "Nonsense, since I want to die, I don't want to live again. What's the point of being alive! I have nothing, nothing left." As he said, his emotions Excited again. Dui held the middle-aged man’s shoulders and injected a prudent vitality into his body. The true aura nourished the middle-aged man’s body with vigorous vitality. His face became ruddy and his emotions gradually calmed down. Sitting on the ground, his eyes became dull.
Duan glanced at the rock, squatted beside the middle-aged man, and asked, "Uncle, what has forced you to go to a dead end? Tell us? We will try our best to help you."
The middle-aged man looked at Ah-Dai, only to realize that he was wearing a magician costume, with a glimmer of hope ignited in his eyes, and murmured: "I was a rich businessman in the dark city. A year ago, I was still a group of wives and concubines. Wan Guan, but in this year's time, I actually lost everything! What do you mean by my being alive, I am already over forty years old, and it is impossible for me to rise again." The encounter was said. It turned out that this person was named Wattana. He was originally engaged in a business selling medicinal materials in the Dark Province. After more than ten years of hard work, he set up a huge family business. In middle age, his spirit of struggle gradually faded and he began to stick to it. As a result, he bought a mansion and shop in the dark city, the capital of the dark province, and is still engaged in the business of selling drugs. Due to the poor public security in the dark city, fights often occur, so there is a great demand for drugs. The business is getting more and more prosperous, and even people from other provinces and cities will come to buy it. After a few years, it can be regarded as a small name in the dark city. When a person has money, he will gradually degenerate. Beauty and gambling have naturally become his hobbies. Not only did he marry more than a dozen concubines, but he also started gambling under the instigation of a few friends. As soon as gambling is attached, the addiction will soon become bigger and bigger. At the beginning, he can still do small gambling, and losing some money is nothing to him? But with the bewilderment of his friends and his own gambling addiction, the stakes doubled. Soon, he became a big-and-expensive high-roller. Money was constantly fading like water. After a year, not only did he lose his possessions, but also owed a gambling debt. Even his concubines ran away and became lonely. The day before yesterday, the people in the casino came to force the debt again. In order to survive, he had to run out of the dark city and spent two days and two nights in fear and panic. Watana was close to the brink of collapse. He felt himself He had lost everything, and he was going to be chased and killed when he was alive. It would be better to be self-sufficient, so he took off his belt in the woods and prepared to hang himself. At this time, he met the rock power to pick Chaihe and saved him. Come down.
After listening to Wattana's story, Dumb took a breath. Although he didn't quite understand what gambling was, he was also deeply surprised by the harm it caused. "Uncle, is gambling so terrible? It can force you. Go to a dead end. If you don’t bet, it’s fine."
Watana smiled bitterly and said: "You said it is easy. Gambling is even more addictive than beautiful women. It can make you rich overnight or make you impoverished. Although few people win, most people always It’s because I’m not tired of it, I can’t control myself at all. When I have money in my hands, I feel itchy. The gambling industry in the Dark City is very developed. From the 80s to the teenagers, almost everyone does not gamble. Like. It’s not one or two that I lost my fortune like this."
The rock snorted disdainfully, and said: "You are all asking for it, and you have a comfortable life, but you have to plunge into the abyss of gambling. You are the one who pushed yourself to this end."
Watana sighed and said in pain: "Yes! I forced myself. But, brother, you don't know, when a person spends much money or not, he has enjoyed everything he should enjoy. . His soul is so empty, in order to find a spiritual comfort, I embarked on this road of no return. I regret it now, but what is the use of regret? I have lost everything, that is not Recovered. Now for me, death may be the best relief. If there is an afterlife, I will not gamble anymore. You should let me die. I have no hope."
Dumb said anxiously: "If you don't use it in the world, you are not too old now! There is still time for redevelopment, uncle, you have to cheer up, you can return to your old business, maybe you can restore to the past glory!" Of course he is kind. You can't watch Watana commit suicide, you can only try to comfort him.
Watana sighed and said, "It's impossible. I don't have the vigor of my youth now, and I don't have children. Now I can say that I have no concerns. Thank you for listening to me. I'll leave. Find someone The place settles itself and saves you trouble. Death is the best relief for me. Perhaps, the hunters of the casino for pressing debts have already found here."
Dumb grabbed Wattana who wanted to stand up, and said, "Uncle, don't do this, isn't it just some money? We will help you pay it back!"
Watana took a look at Dumb and said, "Although you are a magician, what I owe is not a small sum. There are tens of thousands of gold coins! That's not to say that you can pay it back. Hey——, In the past, more than 10,000 gold coins were nothing to me at all, but now it’s different. Even if you sell me by weight, I’m afraid it’s not worth one percent."
Dumbfounded and said, "Tens of thousands of gold coins?" This number reminded him of what Kari said to him when he was in Guangming City. As the elder of the Wizards' Guild, any branch can mobilize assets of less than 10,000 gold coins. , Isn't it equivalent to having tens of thousands of gold coins? Since it is to save people, it can't be regarded as squandering. Thinking of this, he resolutely said: "Don't you just have tens of thousands of gold coins? Uncle, don't worry, I will help you pay it back. Then you can get a new life, and it's still too late to start again!"
Wattana's eyes lit up, grabbing Duan's shoulder, and tremblingly: "Little brother, you, what did you say?"
Dui said firmly: "I said, I will help you pay your gambling debts, so that you don't have to die."
The rock on the side shook his head secretly, thinking to himself, Ah-Dai didn't even know the details of this person. He only listened to his words, and he was willing to help him so unreservedly.
Wattana weakened and collapsed to the ground, tears of excitement streaming down, and murmured: "Child, you are such a good person, you are such a good person! I, I am saved again. I am saved again. Look. Come, the gods are really taking care of me, and let me meet noble people like you."
Dumb helped Watana up and comforted him: "Uncle, don't do this, we can't watch you go to a dead end! You will rest here with us for one night, and tomorrow we will go to the Dark City."
Watana kept panting, staring blankly at the red fire in front of him, muttering speechless.
Dumb took out the dry food and water, handed them to Wattana, and said, "Uncle, you can eat something first, and then rest early. When tomorrow comes, everything will be better."
Watana took the dry food and water, choked up and said, "Little brother, how can I repay you!"
A dumb said: "You don't need to repay me, you just need to live well. Eat." Watana seemed to be hungry for a long time. He desperately stuffed the dry food into his mouth and choked. Take a sip of water. Dumb looked at Watana's way of eating and smiled contentedly. For him, helping others is the greatest happiness, and that will bring him satisfaction.
The rock drew Dui to his side and whispered: "Dumb, there are no good people in this sunset empire. How do you know that this guy is not a liar? Be careful. Besides, 10,000 gold coins are not a small amount, you really Do you want to help him?"
Dumb nodded and said, "Brother, look how pitiful Uncle Watana is! He is about to commit suicide, so how could he pretend? Don't worry about it. Although there are a lot of ten thousand gold coins, it is still to save people. It's worth it! I don't think the Wizards' Guild will blame me."
Rock sighed, and said: "Then take a step and take a step, it just happens that we are here for the first time, and we lack a guide." He couldn't bear to embarrass Dumb, but he secretly paid attention to the sudden appearance of Watana. I thought, as long as you show the fox’s tail and do anything unfavorable to us, I will definitely let you be in a different place. Since entering the dark province, the rocks have been very cautious. After all, this is the dark place of civilization on the whole continent. According to legend, the atmosphere is full of evil everywhere here. .
In the early morning of the next day, under the leadership of Wattana, a person familiar with the terrain, the four set out on the road to the Dark City. Along the way, except for guiding the path, Wattana has been taciturn and rarely speaks. Only occasionally looked at Dumb with grateful eyes. The closer he gets to the Dark City, the more worried look on his face.
The dark city, the capital of the dark provinces, is so large that it seems to be even above the light city. The bustling crowds constantly shuttle back and forth from the wide gates. On the surface, there is no indication that this is a city with developed dark forces. , Seems to be not much different from Guangming City. When he came to the gate of the city, Watana stopped, with an expression of pain on his face, as if he was not in front of the gate of the city, but like a gate of hell.
"Uncle, don't worry. Since I promised to pay you back, I will definitely be able to do it. Go, let's go in." While comforting Watana, Dumb took out the fairy bracelet from his arms, the bracelet slightly heated A faint green light flashed unexpectedly, Dui looked at the rock, and both of them had excited and excited expressions on their faces. The bracelet had already told them that there were elves in the dark city.
Rock whispered: "Luck is really great. I didn't expect that we found the target so smoothly at the first stop." As long as you find an Elf tribe and ask about the whereabouts of other Elves, it will be much easier, Yan At this time, Li also noticed the change in the bracelet in Ah-Dai's hand. UU was about to shout happily, but was covered by the rock and glared at him. Then he calmed down. Watana didn't seem to notice their changes, and still bowed his head thinking about his own thoughts.
Dumb put the bracelet in his arms, looked at the gate of the dark city, and said confidently: "Let's go." Suffering elf friends, you are about to be free. I will definitely save you from the sea of suffering. You must hold on! Thinking of this, Dumb's eyes flashed with determination.
Walking to the city gate, Wattana suddenly stopped, his body was slightly convulsed, and he whispered: "Dad brother, I still won't go in. I, I'm afraid that I will meet someone who will press debt."
Dumb stopped Wattana's body that wanted to shrink, "Uncle, don't be afraid, didn't I promise to pay you back? After paying back, those people won't do anything to you anymore, go, let's go in." Then, he pulled Wattana and walked towards the city. How could Watana resist Dumb's power, and the group of four finally entered the dark city.
The flow of people coming and going in the Dark City is more than twice that of the Light City, all in a hurry, and many people have a decadent expression on their faces. Having already entered the city, Wattana relaxed a little, and whispered to Dumb: "Look, those people with decadent faces and tired faces all gambled all night and lost money. Before, I was also them. One of them!"
