About the brave man who became a thousand-year-old potato and ended up destroying the world

Remember when you came here you were very arrogant?How come you are so poor that you have to work as a restaurant waiter on this day?

Seeing Liu Ji looking at her with confusion, the waitress' expression became a little unbearable again, and she asked in a tone as calm as possible but one that sounded very forced: "What... are you doing?"

"Ah, no, I was just thinking," Liu Ji said, "You didn't go and stay in a top-level suite last night, right?"

The waitress's mouth twitched, and her face froze.

Liu Ji curled his lips. Judging from this meaning, he should be absolutely right.

He took the last bite of noodles and sat down, wiped his mouth with a napkin, threw a banknote on the table and said, "It's a tip for you, come on."

After that, he got up and left.

Looking back halfway, Liu Ji turned around and shook his head when he saw the waitress's expression of joy for receiving one hundred brolli.

"Ha, even if you do this, you still don't want to leave this city?" Liu Ji murmured, standing at the door of the store, looking at the city in front of him, and rubbing his chin.

I'm a little confused.

He could understand the idea of ​​civilians drifting to the north, but what was the reason for the princess of this country to come here and refuse to leave even to the death?

You can’t just be saving up for fares, right?

However, Bala seems to have said that people who cannot afford to rent a house will stay in some special place to live...

But looking at the streets of the entire city, not even a homeless man or beggar can be seen. Even from the observation deck, there is nothing like a slum in the entire city.

"That is to say, not on the ground..." Liu Ji muttered, looking at the drainage ditch at his feet.

Ok……

This seems to be the first time he has seen a decent drainage channel in this world, right?

Since there are drainage channels, wouldn’t it be...

"Haha, no way," Liu Ji scratched his forehead, "Sewer? This is really..."

However, after ruling out other possibilities, this one seems to be the only one left.

So……

Just go down and have a look.

Liu Ji walked along the street. The moment he walked under the shadow of the street trees, his body instantly turned into floating dust, blowing in the wind.

"Huh?" Deidel looked above his head.

"What's wrong?" Snow asked.

"Um... no, maybe it's my imagination," Deidre shook his head.

"So you are planning to stay here forever?" Snow stood in front of the magic array and flipped the spell ring in front of her.

"After all, no one wants to talk to me except you," Deidre shrugged.

"Don't do this, you don't dare to go to those old friends of yours, right?" Snow said, "If you ask me, you should be bolder, you are a scumbag, and they can't eat you up."

"No, why are you such a scumbag?" Deidel protested, "I am an elf bard, I can't be tied to a woman for the rest of my life, right?"

"Uh, let me tell you, aren't you a scumbag?" Snow's brows twitched, "Let me ask you, have you not taught your apprentice this mess of nonsense?"

"Of course not," Deidre waved his hand, "She is from the civet tribe, how can she be the same as me? Just change a few and it will be enough."

Snow's mouth immediately twitched.

Is this called not teaching?

This is fucking outrageous, okay?

Fortunately, that girl Guoguo is simple-minded and seems to have never had any thoughts in this regard.

But I can't let it go on like this. I still have to find a way to have a good chat with her when I get the chance.

"But speaking of it, when will you be able to finish your preparations?" Deidel straddled the chair, put his hands on the back of the chair, and asked, "I think you always have endless things to do. , will it be done in time before the tyrant comes?"

"No, you misunderstood and didn't finish it," Snow said. "The main structure of the entire magic array was built 300 years ago, and the renovation was completed on the day your work was completed. Now we What we are doing is just optimization, improvement and expansion. If the tyrant doesn’t come, theoretically we can continue indefinitely. Of course, if he comes, we can start fighting at any time.”

"Having said that, I'm still a little worried," Deidre said. "Although this kind of battle has happened many times before, this is the first time in the past 300 years... Do you think he will still be as good as before? After you have been fighting for a while, will you shift your strategic focus to the next step of expansion?"

"Are you worried that he will stop expanding and bite us to death?" Snow asked.

"Aren't you worried?" Deidel asked, "The king's seven-star vanguards have now become three generals and twelve cavalrymen, and the number of vanguards has also expanded from 24 to more than 60 in name. His power has been expanding, and the number of people under his command has been increasing inexplicably. Even he himself feels that he has entered a higher realm in these thousands of years. You also know that that scene 300 years ago, the secret In fact, the Sanctuary lost extremely completely, and was even beaten to the point of giving up half of the world. Although it has now merged with the Sanctuary branch here, but... To be honest, I will outrun anyone in this battle. quick."

"Oh, then we will have a competition. You are really the first one who dares to say this in front of me when it comes to escaping," Snow smiled.

Just laugh, and there was silence again.

After a long time, Deidel said: "You also think that this time there is more danger than anything, right?"

"Ah," Snow nodded, "After all... To be honest, compared to the Tyrant's evolution speed, we are almost standing still."

"Oh, now do you feel that Magina is right," Deidre asked.

"I have always felt that she was right, otherwise she would have been kicked out of the Mystic Sanctuary," Snow said. "She is right, but that is not what people want."

"Even if you have to fight for what people want, the chance of winning is less than one in ten thousand?" Deidle asked.

"The nice way to say it is, yes, because it is a request that is more important than life," Snow said. "The practical way to say it is, when we still need them to struggle, we can't give them despair first..."

Deidel looked at Snow, was silent for a long time, and said, "You are indeed a member of the Mystic Sanctuary..."

"If it were in the past, I would tell you how different I am from those crazy old immortals," Snow said, "But now... From the day I thought Ya Yin was dead, I had already lost my bottom line. Into the trash can.”

"But she's not dead, is she?" Deidre said. "You don't have to judge yourself."

"But there are some things. After taking that step, you are no longer qualified to accept Bailian. You also understand, don't you?" Snow said, walked to the table with the crystal cup, and took half a cup of the scarlet liquid. , put down a brand new crystal cup, turned around, and walked towards the magic array again.

The magic array's brilliant light flashed, reflecting the huge container on the crystal cup behind him.

It was a huge container made of clear crystal.

The crystal was filled with shriveled giant rat corpses and bloody human severed limbs. In the center of the complex array, they were melting away bit by bit, condensing into drops of blood-red liquid that slowly flowed along the conduit. , and finally fell into the brand new crystal cup drop by drop.

"Clap..."

Liu Ji lowered his head and glanced at the withered bones that he had broken, and frowned slightly.

It was a dry bone with some shriveled skin and rags attached to it. If nothing else, it should have once been a part of a human being.

Looking up, such things were everywhere in the wide sewer. The rotten smell of garbage mixed with the smell of rotting corpses constantly stimulated Liu Ji's perception.

"The wine and meat of Zhumen are stinky, and the bones are frozen to death on the road..." Liu Ji let out a long sigh.

However... this sewer is quite large. In addition to the water channels, there are wide platforms on both sides. The ceiling is also very high. It even feels wider than the sewer in Ninja O. Turtles. In my impression, it can With this specification, I guess it’s only Mario.

It’s hard not to doubt that this wide sewer was built to accommodate people...

Ok……

No, this conjecture is still unlikely.

It still feels a bit outrageous to consider the resettlement of the poor when building sewers.

Walking along the road, you can see various shacks on both sides of the road from time to time. It is morning now, but most of the people in these shacks have woken up early. Many people are washing themselves with water from someone who knows where, and then standing directly. Changing my clothes on the broad shore.

It was clearly a smelly sewer, but the clothes they put on were formal and polished. Before going out, they seemed to pay a sum of money to someone nearby before leaving.

Seeing Liu Ji walking by, those who collected money would always stare closely at Liu Ji, looking at the unkind eyes and not knowing what they were thinking.

After taking two steps, Liu Ji stopped in front of one of the people collecting money.

The man looked a bit old, with gray hair, and the clothes on his body were dirty and shabby, but the muscle lines exposed under the clothes looked very strong.

"What are you doing, kid?" The old man looked Liu Ji up and down, "Looking for a place to live?"

"What, you have land you want to rent out?" Liu Ji raised his eyebrows.

"Ha, renting? What kind of renting is there in this sewer?" The old man sneered, "It's your first day here too, right? Don't worry, you can live in this place as long as there is no one. The reason why they paid me , because they had to leave during the day, so they paid me to help them look after the nest. Without me, their little belongings would have been stolen long ago... Oh, of course, if you set your sights on other people's territory, or say If you want to live in the territory under my control, go to a fight, and if you can throw me into the river next to me, that place will be yours. Well, and I suggest you do this. After all, it is not a place suitable for living. too much."

Liu Ji looked at him, then looked behind him, and said, "What? Can't you live in the back? I don't think it's good?"

"Hehe, that's not possible. There's no building up there," the old man said with a smile. "Without the building, you can't reach the expulsion circle. At night, if you stay in that place, you'll be eaten alive by rats." "

"Huh? How old is this rat?" Liu Ji's brows twitched.

"Hey, you'll know when they come out at night," the old man said. "Of course, if you want to see it now, again, kill someone and throw them in, and they will come out."

"It's a good idea," Liu Ji said, "Do you have any recommendations?"

"Yes, the two poor people over there have been hungry for a long time. With your physique, you should be able to beat them casually," the old man said, pointing to the two sheds not far away, "Oh, of course. , if you are afraid of getting your clothes dirty, you can give me some money and I will help you take care of your clothes."

"No, I'm not asking you this," Liu Ji said, "I mean, are there any bastards who don't want to die?"

"Oh? It's hard to beat that kind of bastard, right? Are you sure?" The old man glanced at Liu Ji, "You look so delicate..."

"Don't worry about it," Liu Ji said, "Let's just say it's enough to warrant the death penalty."

"Have you eaten enough from others?" the old man said with a grin.

"Don't come here to trick me," Liu Ji looked at the old man and said with a frown, "There really is a cannibal, and you will let him live among the crowd?"

"Hey, you are smart." The old man crossed his legs and rubbed the mud on the soles of his feet. "Of course we don't want him alive, but no one can beat him. What should we do? We can only live in Isn’t it possible that we can only tolerate him here?”

Liu Ji looked at him, then raised his eyes to look ahead, and then his eyes stopped on the other side of the river not far away, where a man in gorgeous guard uniforms was sitting next to a stove in the middle of a large open space. An oven was set up, roasting a piece of meat that looked like a human thigh.

"Well, it seems you saw it," the old man smiled, "I hope you don't become the next one on that grill."

Liu Ji glanced at him, then at the grill, frowned slightly, raised his legs and walked over there.

Crossing the proposed rope bridge, Liu Ji walked up to the man under the astonished eyes of the crowd.

The man raised his head and met Liu Ji's eyes.

The man had long black hair, a handsome and gentle face, clean and healthy skin, and a pair of golden pupils that exuded a heroic spirit.

Liu Ji looked at him, then at the meat he was roasting, and said in a volume that only the two of them could hear: "Oh, this is such a chance encounter... Well, his craftsmanship is pretty good, among the people I've met he can You are the first to cook pork in such a novel way."

"Ah, are you very vicious?" The man raised his eyebrows, "You are not the kind of person who would end up in a place like this. What are you doing here?"

"Wandering around," Liu Ji said, "What about you?"

"Me too," the man said, smiling.

"You wandered around until you moved in?" Liu Ji raised his eyebrows, "And you even created a personality for this?"

"Haha, how do you conclude that this is a human being?" The man laughed, "Maybe I am roasting a piece of pork leg now, but how do you know that I have never eaten a human before?"

"Whatever, I don't care about this," Liu Ji said.

"Then what do you care?" the man asked, "my reason for hanging out here?"

"That's probably okay," Liu Ji nodded.

"Well... to put it simply, don't you think this city is very problematic?" the man said. "It's so prosperous that it's ridiculously expensive, and the housing prices are even more ridiculously expensive..."

"Compared with these, I'm more curious about why this place is like this, and there are still people who are trying to run here because of the crowd," Liu Ji said.

"Hey, that's right," the man shook his finger, "That's why I'm wandering here, just out of curiosity."

"You sound really laid-back," Liu Ji said, sitting next to the fire. "It sounds like you are a carefree guy?"

"That's right, there's really nothing in this world worth remembering," the man said with a smile.

"Really?" Liu Ji held his chin, "Don't you care about those people who are beating to death and living outside?"

"Yeah, do I look like someone who needs to pay attention to that level of things?" The man smiled and tilted his head.

"How about we make it clear," Liu Ji said, "I know you."

The man paused, his smile froze on his face, his brows furrowed slightly, he tilted his head and said, "Let me ask, what exactly do you mean by knowing..."

"I know you," Liu Ji said in a deep voice, "I even know the titles of each of you. Hello, the Black Dragon King, the ultimate sage."

The man stopped spinning the barbecue grill with his right hand, his eyebrows became serious, he looked Liu Ji up and down, and said in a deep voice: "Who are you? Did some old guy change his appearance to play tricks on me?"

"No, I probably don't remember me. After all, at that time, I was just a newbie among the previous heroes. I'm afraid you don't even remember my name," Liu Ji took off the I looked at the barbecue on the shelf and took a bite.

After this bite, the nearby onlookers who did not know the truth collectively took a breath of air-conditioning, and some even spit it out directly.

Liu Ji glanced at the man and asked, "Does that guy vomit every time you eat?"
