The lord is red again

Daoxiang Village.

Although it is also under the jurisdiction of Black Rock City, it is at least 3 months' walk away from the huge and prosperous city-state that is said to have immortal people.

The golden but sparse mutant wheat ears are like heavy apples hanging on the weird wheat stalks as thick as corn stalks. The leaves as big as cattails sway when a gust of wind blows.

Link Ahriman was wearing a knight's armor, stepping on the muddy field with his iron boots, and the mill windmill was turning, bringing a good mood for the day.

"Mr. Sheriff, how was your patrol today?"

The person holding a wooden basket on her head is Aunt Mei from Daoxiang Village, which is filled with bread.

Link Ahriman bent down and let down his blond hair: "Everything is as usual, everything is fine, beautiful lady."

Aunt Mei giggled at his actions: "Chatting with a young and handsome guy always makes you feel happy, just like going back to that bonfire dance."

"You must be the most eye-catching person at that ball." Link Alman said immediately.

Aunt Mei had a smile on her face, and the wrinkles on the corners of her eyes could vaguely reveal her pride: "Of course, I have fascinated a dozen young men, and the bruises on their faces are my most proud medals. ”

The two chatted for a few words before they separated.

Even if the "end of the world" occurs, it will not have much impact on the life of Daoxiang Village. The resources here have always been very poor, and the land cannot grow food. On the contrary, after the end of the world, those plants that grow and mutate in order to adapt to the new era will be treated equally. On this land Start growing.

Although it is difficult to digest, bad for the body, and you may even die from constipation if you eat too much, the food problem is barely solved.

Under the crooked old tree at the entrance of the village, several children were arguing.

They are children born after the end of the world. They are born with congenital deformities. Some have horns on their heads, some have four eyes, and some are covered with scales.

However, Daoxiang Village regards it as a privilege. Aze, the old wizard of Daoxiang Village, believes that these are symbols of magic power, and the visions of the children happen to be very similar to the great god "God of Life" believed in in Black Rock City.

Therefore, these children are also called "sons of God" and are considered to be the beginning of a new era and the future in which God's will is poured into.

"Lord Link is here!" The little guy with the horns on his head shouted, "Sir, you have been to Black Rock City before, have you seen the legendary undead?"

Several other children gathered around and stared at him with different colored eyes.

"This..." Link couldn't say that when he went to Black Rock City last time, all the undead people disappeared inexplicably for some reason.

"What did you argue about just now?" he asked.

"Discussing the undead, I heard they have horns."

"No, no, it has four eyes!"

"No, there are scales all over the body!"

Several children started to quarrel, and Link couldn't help but smile. It turned out that they worshiped the immortal and wanted to find common ground.

"I didn't meet the undead when I went to Blackstone City last time. They were probably busy saving the world."

The children blinked and blinked: "Are you going to fight in the abyss?"

The battle of the Great Rift in the Abyss has always remained in their hearts, and the undead who participated in the entire battle of the Abyss are naturally regarded as heroes.

"Maybe?" Link said unsure.

He bent down and held his knees: "I remember today seems to be the day when the caravan comes. Why don't you wait until old Jerry from the caravan comes to listen to him tell you about the undead? He will definitely encounter something when he travels all over the country. Been there a lot.”

"We have been waiting with our fingers crossed for a long time. Maybe his two-headed mule was tired and never came."

"I heard that the undead in Black Rock City seem to be driving a very large giant, which is as big as the old wizard Aze's three-story house."

"I heard that the undead can breathe fire, fly, and..."

At first they could supplement in their own language, but when they reached the blind spot of knowledge, they could only supplement with simple words such as "fly" and "jump high".

Link's eyes also shone with yearning and envy. He was a great knight on the path to the God of Life. Because he was not strong enough and did not know how to cultivate relationships, he was assigned to Daoxiang Village and became a peace officer.

He envied the immortals who could freely compose their own legends on the battlefield, and imagined that if he had the chance, he might become an equally great and powerful man.

Suddenly there was the sound of horse hooves in the distance. Link suddenly looked up and saw a two-headed mule rushing towards this direction. One of its heads was drooped, only the skin and flesh were left connected, and the two heads became a single head.

"Get out of the way!" Link shouted and rushed forward quickly.

The mutant mule has greater endurance and strength. Link Ahriman, who is also at the bottom among the great knights in terms of strength, struggled to hold on to the reins and dug his feet into the soil, but he almost failed to pull it back. .

"Boom!" The things on the mule just rolled to the ground.

It's Old Jerry's 'sharp-tongued' Wall. This guy is always sarcastic and arrogant when selling coal in autumn and winter. Although he can't get a single coin in profit, Wall is very Enjoy the opportunity to have the power to dictate.

Link immediately helped Wall up: "What happened to the caravan? What did you encounter?"

"Abyss!" There was blood at the corner of Wall's mouth, but looking at the distracted look in his eyes, the impact on his mind was obviously greater than the impact on his body.

"Those undead people, they took refuge in the abyss!"

"What?" Link was shocked.

The heroes who fought bravely against the abyss in the legend actually surrendered to the abyss.

"Where is old Jerry? How is he?"

"He is not far ahead. If the abyss is not dead, he will arrive soon."

"Damn it!" Link gritted his teeth. He happened to see someone coming, so he stuffed the 'sharp mouth' Wall to the other party, and then stood up: "I'll go and see!"

He was the only one in the whole Daoxiang Village who had the fighting power. Now was not the time to retreat. He had to figure out what happened in front. He had an indescribable heroism in his heart.

"Everyone else should gather at the old wizard's house. Although he only knows a few tricks, it is better than a pitchfork and a rake."

After saying that, Link took action regardless of how others reacted.

Link Ahriman grabbed the hilt of the sword at his waist with his right hand, and ran at full speed with his armor on his back. Following the traces left by the two-headed mule, he quickly arrived at the place where the caravan was besieged.

The scene was in chaos. The caravan should have fought back.

There was blood on the ground, and there were scattered bodies, but there was no trace of goods or Old Jerry.

He squatted down and carefully examined the soil.

"Those people did not hide their whereabouts. They left after robbing and killing, but... why did they jump here several times?" Link stopped and looked at a tree in front of him.

Link tried to guess what the other party was doing at the time, why he didn't feel anything when he hit the tree, and still jumped.

He didn't know much about the undead, and he really couldn't figure out why someone would not get out of the way after hitting the tree, but instead hit it again and again.

"He rolled here again, why did he roll?"

"And here, he jumped again."

"Here, there should be a man lying on the ground, and then look at the footprints, someone is standing next to him, no, not standing but squatting, but the footprints are moving slightly, wait! Someone is squatting and standing up next to the lying man."

The more detailed information he investigated, the more confused Link couldn't help but feel, why did the other party do this.

Moreover, the other party chased the mule and killed towards Daoxiang Village, only taking away Old Jerry and those goods. He remembered very clearly that those goods were not valuable, but this was strange. Kidnapping Old Jerry could be said to be hiding a secret on the other party, but why did they take away all those worthless goods without any difference?

Just thinking about it, Link Ahriman actually easily tracked down the other party's hiding place.

This is the ruins of Luoye, Luoye Village, which was once next to Daoxiang Village, but it has been occupied by a group of disasters. Those disasters attacked fiercely and demolished the entire Luoye Village in a short time.

"Underground city No. F-100-500-001? Entrance fee?"

What does it mean? I don't understand.

Link looked at the wooden sign in front of him, which had the number written on it.

And in front of him was a cellar entrance that was diagonally downward. After thinking about it, Link gritted his teeth and stepped onto the cellar stairs, step by step into the darkness.

Walking down slowly, there was a flickering candlelight in the farthest distance, as if reminding him of the destination.

When he finally reached the candlelight, he found that there was actually a large iron gate blocking the way.

There was also a stack of strange papers on the table at the door.

Link picked up the paper with strange patterns and looked at it, his face changed slightly.

He silently read the content on it in his mind: "Guide to entering the dungeon, first pay the fee, 100 Black Stone Coins, then open the door to start the dungeon adventure, you will encounter different dangers in the dungeon, as long as you defeat the final dungeon lord, you can rob the lord's treasure."

Behind the treasure was a picture with a treasure chest filled with various gold, silver, jewelry, armor, swords, etc.

What is this for?

Link didn't understand, and unexpectedly found that there was text on the back.

"Do you want to be rich? Do you want to be a hero? Do you want to live a real life? Join us! Join us! Join us!!!"

The confusion in his heart not only did not disappear, but became more and more intense.

100 Black Stone Coins are expensive for ordinary people, but they are nothing for him. However, since he is a superhuman, his monthly income is certainly not comparable to that of ordinary people.

"What happened to old Jerry you guys!"

"Let him out!"

"Open the door!"

Link Ahriman shouted for a long time but no one responded, so he took out 100 Black Stone Coins and put them into a small box beside him.

The next moment, the big black iron door blocking the road opened.

There was only one fully armed man standing in front of him.

"Finally someone is here. I've been doing nothing here." The other party complained, and at the same time waved to Link to signal him to take action first.

Link drew out his long sword with a clang, and his hands transmitted superhuman power. The surface of the blade was covered with a sparse layer of emerald green energy, and began to rotate rapidly.

The air seemed to become sharper.

The emerald green light became brighter and brighter. Link Ahriman stepped forward with a rhythmic step, and stabbed the opponent's head with a tricky sword, but was blocked by the opponent who quickly raised his hand and raised his shield.

Link quickly pulled his arm and pulled the sword back. The emerald green scabbard wrapped around the blade also retracted and gathered on the weight ball on the hilt, spinning rapidly, causing the entire sword to vibrate.

But when the opponent put down his shield and tried to recite a spell, he sent out another sword. The emerald green energy ball on the weight ball gushed to the tip of the sword along with the pulsation in Link's blood vessels, and hit the opponent's chest heavily.

Boom!

The opponent flew out upside down, the emerald green energy drill still spinning, trying to penetrate the heavy armor's defense. Although it was not successful, it also carved an obvious inward dent in the armor.

Suddenly, he saw a scorching light coming from the corner of his eyes. Link raised the long sword with both hands and held it in front of him. Suddenly, an explosion came from the blade, knocking him back a few steps. His heart was already extremely heavy.

The opponent was not a melee warrior, but a wizard who was good at casting spells.

"Damn, I hid in a corner. I didn't expect that an NPC would be so awesome." The man also got up from the ground. Although his tone was frivolous and indifferent, his counterattack was not bad at all.

He chanted quickly, and suddenly grabbed the sword with his left hand. The scorching heat enveloped the long sword. The rolling magic heat wave made Link groan inwardly. He couldn't afford to offend such a wizard who could use powerful magic, and even if Even though he was strong, he couldn't be stabbed without being injured.

Encountered a wizard who was good at melee combat, and now Link just wanted to curse.

However, he was not a person who was willing to be killed. Facing the heat wave and death, he took the initiative to rush forward, and the heat wave air flow kept shouting in his ears.

The emerald green sword blade collided with the scorching hot sword edge. It was not yet known who would win and who would lose in the battle, but the ferocity with which they fought each other was all reflected on their faces. You could judge who used more strength by gritting their teeth, staring, and wrinkled their noses. many.

At present, it seems that the so-called "dungeon" is actually a small cellar where the lord is stronger.

Link became more and more uneasy and began to make random guesses: "The aura is weaker than mine, and the strength is not as strong as mine, but what method does he use, and why can he always burst out with powerful and unrivaled power at the most critical moment?" ?”

"This is called a critical hit, don't you understand? Moreover, I also have attribute superimpositions and magic transformation equipment." The other party smiled, "You can't beat me."

Of course he didn't understand, but one thing he understood was that if the stalemate continued, he would definitely die.

"Where's old Jerry?" Link asked quickly.

"He has promised to swear allegiance to me. You can see him after you pledge your allegiance to me."

The balance of the battle between the two sides really began to shift towards the other side. The longer the fight lasted, the more obvious this bias became. The other side seemed to have the unique ability to become braver and braver as they fought.

Finally, Link's weapon was knocked away by a sword, and he sat on the ground dejectedly.

"Okay! I promise you!"

He ultimately chose his allegiance, “What do I need to do?”

"First help me find a group of craftsmen to help me rebuild the dungeon." The other party took off his helmet and took out a contract and said, "This is a contract scroll witnessed by the black knight and the gods. You have to work for me. , But don’t worry, we work from 9 to 5, and when we hire more talents in the future, we will have days off, and overtime will be paid.”

"Are you different from the undead in Blackstone City?" Link Ahriman couldn't help but ask, he had already discovered something was wrong.

"Of course it's different..."

The other party smiled slightly: "We are the vanguard army coming to Serilin Continent."

Then he suddenly swore again: "If I don't take the time to develop, those fuckers will definitely come to clean up my dungeon and use me as a cash machine. We are on a mission."

As he spoke, he asked: "What gods do you, a black market city-state, believe in?"

Link Ahriman: "The God of Life."
