The Black Knight from the Blue Planet

"Traveler."

Hearing the other party's question, Hadi answered in a relaxed tone.

The guard above looked at Hadi in the dim light, and then was a little surprised: "Hey, it's still a pretty boy."

Hadi smiled helplessly.

"What are you doing here?"

"Business." Hadi said with a smile: "I have been here before."

"What are you kidding, in this situation, you come in alone to do business?"

Hadi smiled and 'explained': "It is in this situation that I want to come in to see the situation. My caravan is staying in a safe place outside."

"What business are you doing?" The guard saw that what this man said made sense, so he asked.

"This."

Hadi took out a small piece of dried meat from the system backpack and threw it up.

The other party approached, subconsciously sniffed, and then said in surprise: "Are you in the grain business?"

"Yes."

"It's not human flesh."

Hadi shook his head: "This is beef. You will know if you try it."

The guard licked it gently: "It really doesn't taste like human flesh, and it has salt."

Hadi was shocked when he heard this and asked: "Do you know what human flesh tastes like?"

The guard above laughed and changed the subject: "Since you are in the grain business, then come in."

After speaking, a ladder was lowered from above.

Hadi climbed up, and several guards came over and surrounded him.

"Is there any more meat?" asked a guard with a sunken cheek.

Hadi shrugged: "It's business, of course it's impossible to carry all the meat with you. I want to talk to your leader about business matters."

After looking at Hadi for a while, these people saw that he didn't look like he was hiding anything, so they let him go, pointed to a road inside, and said: "Go straight ahead, go to the tallest and largest house, report your purpose, I think our leader will see you."

Hadi nodded, turned over and jumped down.

More than four meters high, falling lightly, it can be seen that he is very capable.

Several guards were stunned.

Hadi walked along the street. The smell of rotten meat here was much lighter, but there were still groups of skinny people wandering on the street occasionally, but they were obviously still rational, but they looked at people with a terrible look.

Is there a famine here?

Hadi frowned and walked forward. In the dark corner, I don't know how many eyes were looking at him.

Soon he came to the largest building, which was the lord's mansion.

There were also several guards standing here, but they looked much better than the previous ones.

Hadi walked over and immediately attracted the attention of those people.

They walked over and blocked Hadi.

One of the stronger men asked in a puzzled tone: "A stranger, why did they let you in?"

"I'm here to do business." Hadi looked around and said: "Grain business. We have a batch of grain and need to exchange it for some valuables."

"But you came alone and didn't bring anything..."

Hadi explained again: "The things are outside the city. You have to ask your leader if he has any intention. Besides, what if you don't have enough money to exchange for grain? This is also normal."

The man frowned, and seemed to dislike Hadi's words, but looking at Hadi's delicate appearance, he knew that this was the style of a well-fed and well-dressed person.

So he said: "Wait a minute, I'll let someone notify the lord."

Hadi nodded and stepped aside.

While waiting, he looked around.

In the whole city, except for the two remaining lighting towers and some rooms in the lord's mansion, there were no lights in other places.

After arriving here, Hardy found that in addition to the stench in the air, there were strange magical fluctuations, one after another, very regular.

This means that there is a magic circle in the lord's mansion.

I don't know what the function is.

Not long after, someone came out and said, "The boss is willing to see you, come in."

After that, he walked back and Hardy followed.

Entering the courtyard of the lord's mansion, the stench became more obvious.

Then turning a corner, Hardy saw a row of corpses hanging on the left and right of the road... Most of the corpses had rotted.

And the most obvious corpse in the front seemed to have been put there not long ago.

It was a female corpse, naked and tied to a cross more than two meters high.

Even though she was dead, Hadi could tell that this woman was a wealthy person in her lifetime. She had a good figure, a plump one.

In addition... her body was covered with scars, and she had obviously been cruelly abused before her death.

The man leading the way turned around and said, "Don't be afraid. These are all rebels. The lord put them here just to warn others not to participate in the rebellion."

Hadi's heart was cold, but he smiled and said, "Your lord is very majestic."

"Hahaha, of course."

Then he turned around and continued to lead the way.

The smile on Hadi's face quickly cooled down. He had good observation skills.

Most of these men and women hung on the cross were wearing servants' clothes.

He remembered something... The lord of this city should be a woman with a good reputation.

Then he turned back and looked at the most obvious female corpse not far behind.

He looked away with a strange smile on his face.

Soon, he followed the guide to the main hall door.

There were streaks of blood seeping into the huge wooden door.

Two maids with numb and expressionless faces pushed the door open.

The main hall was very spacious, and Hardy saw the strong man sitting in the main seat at a glance.

He was wearing a nightgown, leaning back with one leg still on his chair, looking at Hardy in a very disgraceful manner.

Hardy walked in, looked at the other person, and asked in a slightly strange tone: "It's strange. I remember that the last time I came here, the lord here was a woman. Are you her Hakka?"

This man was already showing his age and his hair was much grayer. He looked at Hadi's young and handsome face with a hint of jealousy in his eyes.

Then he pointed outside: "She's hanging there... If you don't mind, I'll have her put her down for you to play with."

"Your Excellency really loves to joke." Hardy smiled.

At this time, his heart was full of murderous intent, but before killing, he wanted to understand what happened here.

"Although it's a bit smelly, it's still quite refreshing. It's a shame if you don't like it." The man stood up. He was very tall, at least about two meters tall: "Are you a grain merchant?"

"right."

"That's so strange. Almost all businessmen will flee when they see the appearance of this city, but you ran in by yourself." The man slowly approached Hardy: "Why?"

“The louder the waves, the more expensive the fish.”

When the man heard this, he burst out laughing: "That's a good saying, yes, the more times like this, the more valuable food is. But... do you think you have the life to get out alive? You hand over the food, I can spare your life."

Hardy spread his hands calmly: "I'm just a nobody. The owners of our caravan are waiting outside. If I don't go back for three hours, they will naturally leave."

The man stood in front of Hardy, looked down at him, and couldn't help but cursed angrily: "Damn businessman, don't give him any chance." (End of Chapter)
