Magic Eye Warlock

There seems to be something abnormal in the imperial city today. The originally hot weather suddenly cooled down, but the sky was very clear and the air was very dry. It did not seem like there was a sign of a rainstorm.

The streets were also lively, with civilians everywhere taking advantage of the cool weather to go shopping. Many small vendors also set up stalls on the street, shouting and selling their goods.

The nobles did not come out much. They had enough financial resources to arrange a cooling water magic circle at home, so they didn't have to endure the hot weather at all. Moreover, the physical quality of the professionals also greatly enhanced their heat resistance and cold resistance.

The patrolling city guards were a little distressed. With their number of people, it was obviously too late to manage so many vendors. Now that the imperial city is in a mess, they feel that something is going to happen.

In the slum, Kent walked out of the city with a corpse on his back.

Since Xiaguang City was attacked, the refugees were blocked outside the east gate and were attacked by orcs and imperial soldiers. As a lucky soldier, Kent was found from the corpse pile by the soldiers. Freedom, and also obtained the permanent residence permit of Xiaguang City.

This is probably a kind of consolation measure for him by the empire. Kent did not look for a job in Xiaguang City, but used a few gold coins that officially compensated him to come to the imperial city through the teleportation array, and went to the famous imperial city slum to take root. .

Because the Imperial City is much safer than Xiaguang City, and he has always heard that the Imperial City slum is the fastest place to change one's destiny. It is full of miracles. You can pick up gold or silver coins while lying on the ground. After going up, I also got the opportunity to become a professional, and finally gradually entered the upper class of society.

This kind of inspirational story is often heard in the mouths of bards. Kent's favorite thing on weekdays is to go to the pub to drink a glass of poor ale, and then listen to the troubadour in the tavern to tell these stories, which will make him Full of motivation for life.

However, after coming to the slums of the imperial city, Kent discovered the gap between the ideal and reality. As a carpenter, he could not find a suitable job here because his craftsmanship was relatively immature and he did not have a permanent residence in the imperial city. Permission, the general store is also reluctant to ask him.

So he quickly joined the begging team, expecting to pick up a few gold or silver coins every day.

Before he could beg for a copper coin, he was surrounded by several colleagues around him. Kent knew that the homeless people in the slum had already formed a huge force, and each member had a strict area. Divided, and the income obtained by begging needs to be turned in and summarized, and then distributed according to the level.

It doesn't mean that a random person can make money by simply sitting on the ground and lying on the ground with a broken bowl and a broken tank.

And these homeless people are not just begging, they are generally versatile, mastering the skills of theft or intelligence analysis, and none of them can be obtained for nothing.

In the end, Kent, who had been hungry for a few days, regretted it very much. Originally, he could settle down in Xiaguang City with a few gold coins given by the official, but now he has no money and no money to sit in the teleportation array again. City lives here.

The time limit for the temporary residence permit has expired, and he has no choice but to stay in the slums and leave the imperial city.

In the end, Kent found a temporary job as a corpse collector, collecting corpses for the poor in the slum.

This job can maintain his food and clothing, and because of its special nature, the threshold for employment is relatively low. Many homeless people are reluctant to do this job because they are afraid of being infected by the disease carried by the corpse, so this is also Kent in a short period of time. The only job I could find.

If it was a month ago, Kent would not have found this job even if he starved to death, but after the last disaster, he had already climbed out of the pile of corpses, and it can be said that he was reborn, so yes The resistance of the corpse was much smaller, and there was no uncomfortable feeling at all while carrying the corpse.

"Today this is the sixth one,

Each corpse is five copper coins, and if you try harder, you can get ten and you can rest. ' Kent muttered.

This is the small goal he set for himself. To receive ten corpses every day, in addition to daily expenses, he can save a lot of money, and then he can do some small business after having a certain capital.

Corpses can be seen everywhere in the slums, but their collectors have to move the corpses to a designated place outside the city gate, some are far away, some are close, and it is very exhausting, especially for an ordinary person like him.

"Today's weather is cool, and I'm not tired at all." Kent was in a slightly happy mood. The experience of walking out of the city with a body on his back was really unforgettable. He almost fainted in the middle of the heat stroke, and the weather suddenly became cooler this afternoon. Down, and there is no tendency to rain, it will not affect his subsequent work, which makes him recover a lot of strength.

After handing over the corpse to the designated place, and taking five copper coins from a middle-aged man, Kent whistled and walked towards the city gate.

But before he took a few steps, he heard a harsh siren coming from the direction of the imperial city.

"What's the situation?" Kent shivered all over. He still remembered hearing a similar alarm sound in Chuyang City, when the orcs were invading.

But it didn't take long for Chuyang City to be breached by the orcs, and he would never forget the tragic scene of the orcs slaughtering at will in the city.

When he fled outside Xiaguang City, he also heard such a siren. It was also an orc invasion. Although there was no ending like Chuyang City, the refugees were still slaughtered. He was one of them, but he was lucky. was buried under the corpse.

And this time, the sound of the alarm aroused deep fear in his heart.

how is this possible? This is the imperial city!

A huge translucent light shield rose from the city wall, covering the entire imperial city, like an upside-down sea bowl.

Kent stared blankly. He has seen this mask several times. It is a defensive mask that only the main city has. It will only be activated at the last moment when the main city is about to be breached, because the consumption is too high and the maintenance time is limited. .

He had seen it once when he was in Chuyang City.

After the mask was raised, it lasted for more than half an hour, giving many people in the city a chance to escape.

And what happened this time? It wasn't long before he left the imperial city, why did this happen? Did the Magic Array maintainer accidentally start it?

It didn't take long for the defensive mask to disappear, and Kent breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the defensive mask must have been activated by mistake.

But the next moment, a dazzling beam of light descended from the sky and landed in the imperial city.
