Lingsifeng glanced again.
He didn't read it wrong the first time.
The boy in front of me has straight hair and is dressed almost like a standard equipment for a barbarian hero - several studded leather belts, fur boots, a small leather pocket, and a lot of pimples. There's nothing strange about all of this. On the streets of Anko Mobock, you can see around twenty adventurers dressed like this at any time, but you'll never be able to find anyone else who would wear it——
The young man followed the gaze of Lingsi Feng and glanced down, then shrugged.
There's no way, "he said," I promised my mom
Wool underwear
That night, Al Kahari was plagued by strange things. Firstly, something seemingly silver rushed in from the sea, leaving the scholars in the city puzzled. But that's not even the weirdest thing. Then, small streams of pure magic were released from the corners of various things like static electricity. But that's still not the weirdest thing.
There is a small tavern on the edge of the city, and the relentless wind constantly passes through every unglazed window, bringing the desert atmosphere into the shop. Strangely enough, he walked straight into the store and sat down in the center of the floor.
The guests stared at it for a while, sipping their own coffee with desert orak. This beverage is made from cactus juice and scorpion venom, making it the most toxic alcoholic beverage in the entire multiverse. However, desert nomads drink it not to numb their nerves, but to slightly alleviate the effects of Crater coffee.
It's not because that kind of coffee can be used as a waterproof material on rooftops, nor because it can penetrate untrained stomach walls like a hot ball piercing through half melted butter. Its effect is even more terrifying than this.
It makes you thorough.
The pride of the desert looked puzzled, glancing at their coffee cups the size of a thimble, wondering if there was too much Olak inside. Did they all see that thing? Would it seem foolish to comment on this? As a son of the desert with cold eyes, if you want to maintain even a little bit of credibility, this kind of thing must definitely be considered thoroughly. If you stretch out a trembling finger and say, 'Look, a box just walked in with over a hundred short legs, it's really unbelievable, isn't it?' Then people will surely say that you have reached the extreme of sissy, and such exam language is likely to take your life.
The drinkers tried to avoid eye contact with each other. The suitcase has slid all the way to the wall at the far end of the room, where there is a row of cans filled with Olak. The way the suitcase stands is very unique, and for some reason, its expression is even more frightening than its wandering appearance.
Finally, someone spoke up: "I think it wants to have a drink
There was a long silence, and then another person spoke with the precision of a chess master's kill move, "Who wants to
The other drinkers stared expressionlessly at the liquid in their glasses.
A gecko lizard walked through the damp ceiling, its footsteps clattering loudly; Besides, the room was quiet for half a day.
The first drinker to speak replied, "Oh, brother in the desert, I mean the devil who just walked up behind you
The champion of this year's All Desert Steady Competition smiled indifferently until he felt something tug on his robe. The smile remained in place, but his face didn't seem to want anything to do with it.
The suitcase felt betrayed in love, so like any sensible human, it decided to get drunk. It has no money and cannot make requests with its mouth. Despite the many inconveniences, luggage always makes it easy for people to understand what they mean.
The owner of the tavern spent a very long and extremely lonely night. He kept pouring Olak into a small dish all night until the suitcase came out through the wall; It's hard to say its steps are steady.
The desert is quiet. Usually it's not like that. Usually, this place is filled with the chirping of crickets, the buzzing of mosquitoes, and the gentle hissing of predators flying over the gradually cooling sand. But tonight was quite quiet, a heavy and busy silence. It can be heard that a dozen desert residents are packing their tents and preparing to leave quickly.
I promised my mother, "the boy said," I'll catch a cold, you understand
Maybe you should give it a try, wear a little more cotton jacket or something
Oh, that's not possible. All these leather things must be worn
It's hard for me to say it's all, "Lingsi Fengdao said." The quantity is too small to say it's all. Why do you have to wear it
Of course, it's to let everyone know that I am a barbarian hero
Ling Sifeng leaned against the stinky wall of the snake pit and stared at the boy with wide eyes. The other party's eyes were like two cooked grapes, their yellow hair was fluffy and loose, and their face looked like a battlefield. The warring sides were freckles from the indigenous people and pimples from the powerful invading army.
Lingsifeng quite enjoys such moments. They made him believe that he was not actually crazy or foolish, because if he was crazy, there would be no words to describe some of the people he met.
Barbarian hero, "he murmured.
Is that right, then? All this leather is quite expensive
That's right, but let me say - what's your name, young man
Nigel -
I said, Nigel
Destroyer Negir, "Negir added.
I said, Nigel
- The Destroyer Nigel -
Okay, Destroyer - "Lingsi Feng said despairingly.
The son of the food and grocery merchant Rabbit Bart
What
You must be the son of someone, "Nagil explained." Where is it written here? "He half turned around and rummaged through a dirty fur bag for a long time, finally pulling out his tattered and messy little book.
Part of it is here to teach you how to choose a name, "he murmured.
Why did you end up in the snake pit again
I was planning to steal some treasures from Corrizo, but ended up having an asthma attack, "Nagil continued flipping through the crisp pages of the book.
Lingsifeng lowered his head and looked at the snake, who was still trying to avoid attracting any attention. It lives a leisurely life in the snake pit and has a keen sense of trouble. It is not prepared to struggle with anyone. It bravely met Lingsi Feng's gaze and shrugged - as a reptile without long shoulders, this move is indeed quite remarkable.
How long have you been a barbarian hero
It's just the beginning. I've always wanted to do this since I was young, you know, so I thought maybe I could learn something while doing it. "Nagil widened her nearsighted eyes and looked at Lingsifeng." That's also possible, isn't it
From any perspective, this is a rather desperate life, "Lingsifeng said enthusiastically.
Have you ever thought about what it will be like to sell food every day for the next fifty years? "Nagil replied gloomily.
Lingsifeng thought for a moment.
Including lettuce? "He asked.
Oh, of course. "Nagil stuffed the mysterious book back into his bag and began to examine the walls of the snake pit.
Lingsifeng sighed. He likes lettuce. They are so dull, so dull that it's unbelievable. He spent many years searching, but never reached a dull state. Whenever he thought he was about to catch it, his life would suddenly be filled with almost despairing stimuli. At present, someone has voluntarily given up fifty years of dull and boring time, and this idea is simply making him feel powerless. Fifty years, he pondered, he could surely elevate monotony into an art form. How many things can he not touch at all.
Do you know any jokes about the wick? "He sat down comfortably in the sand.
I'm afraid I don't know, "Nigel replied politely as he knocked on the slate.
I know there are hundreds, all very funny. For example, do you know how many monsters are needed to change a wick
This board is movable, "Nagil said." Look, it's like a door. Come help with the handle
He pushed vigorously, his biceps bulging like peas poking at a pencil.
I guess this must be some secret passage, "he added." Come on, can we use some magic? It's stuck
Don't you want to listen to the joke just now? "Ling Sifeng felt a little distressed. It's dry and warm down here, and there's no imminent danger except for the snake. Besides, the snake is trying to appear harmless to humans and animals. Some people never know satisfaction.
I think I won't listen right now, "Nagil said." I think I would rather receive a little bit of magical assistance
I'm not very good at this, "Ling Sifeng said." I've never figured it out before. Look, it's not easy. You think all you need to do is stick out a finger and say 'Kacang -'
Immediately after, there was a loud bang, as if an eighth color lightning bolt had rushed into the thick slate, shattering it into thousands of white hot shotgun shells. This is indeed the case.
After a while, Nagil slowly stood up and extinguished several sparks that had ignited on his clothes.
That's right. "He sounded like someone who was determined not to lose self-control." Hmm. Great. We just need to wait for it to cool down, right? Then we, then we, we can set off
He cleared his throat.
Where, "Ling Sifeng said. He stared at his fingertips without blinking, his arms stretched out very straight, showing that he felt very sorry for the length of his arms.
Nagil looked into the smoke filled cave.
It's like leading to a certain room, "he said.
Where is it
Please go first, "Nagil gently pushed Lingsi Feng.
The wizard stumbled forward, his head hitting a stone, but he seemed completely unaware and bounced straight into the hole.
Nagil patted the wall and frowned. Did you feel it? "He asked," Why is the stone trembling
Where is it
Are you okay
Where is it
Nigel pressed his ear against the wall. There's a strange sound, "he said," it's a bit like a buzzing sound. "A little bit of dust on the mortar above his head shook his body and began to fall downwards.
Soon, two much heavier stones were also released from the wall of the snake pit, dancing and smashing into the sand.
Lingsifeng had already started stumbling along the passage, screaming softly all the way while completely ignoring the flying stones around him - some were only a few inches away from him, while others were carrying several pounds of weight and hitting him directly.
If he were sober enough to pay a little attention to the situation around him, he would immediately understand what was going on. The air has a greasy touch, smelling like burning tin, and every corner is covered with a faint rainbow. Nearby, a magic field is gradually forming, with a significant scale, and it is trying to establish a foothold.
If there happens to be a wizard next to him at this moment, even a wizard as incompetent as Spirited Wind, this person will become as conspicuous as a lighthouse.
Nagil stumbled and rushed out of the roaring and boiling dust, hitting Lingsi Feng with his head. A halo formed by the eighth color light on the wizard's body stood blankly in the middle of another cave.
Lingsi Feng looks terrible. At this moment, if Kerisso were present, he would likely notice his sparkling eyes and fluttering hair.
He looks like he just stuffed his pineal gland in his mouth and sent them down with a pint of adrenaline. Look at his appearance, he's not just high on drugs, he's already at the peak, enough to relay signals for intercontinental television.
Every strand of hair on the wizard's head stood upright, constantly emitting sparks. Even his skin seemed to want to abandon him. His eyes seem to be spinning horizontally; He opened his mouth, sparks of mint flavor popping from his teeth. Wherever he walked, the stones either melted or grew ears, or turned into some small thing covered in purple scales and flew away.
I said, "Nagil said," are you okay
Ah, "Lingsifeng replied, and the syllable immediately turned into a large fried donut.
You don't look very good, "Nagil's observation ability should be considered unusually sharp in the current situation.
Where is it
Why don't you try to get us out? "Nagil suggested and wisely fell to the ground.
Ling Sifeng nodded, his movements stiff, like a puppet. He pointed his heavily armed fingers towards the ceiling, which melted like ice cream under a blowtorch.
The rumbling sound still did not stop, and unsettling sound waves spread throughout the entire palace. There is an interesting fact that everyone in the universe knows: certain frequencies can cause panic, and certain frequencies can cause embarrassing urinary and fecal incontinence. However, under the current shaking method of the stone, the resonant frequency can melt reality and make it slip away from the corner.
Nagil looked at the dripping ceiling and took a careful sip.
Lime egg custard sauce, "he added," I guess the ladder is hopeless, isn't it
More flames emerged from the pitiful fingertips of Lingsifeng, merging into an almost flawless escalator. However, there was probably no second elevator in the entire universe covered in crocodile skin.
Nigel grabbed the wizard who was spinning slightly and jumped up.
Fortunately, they quickly reached the top because soon after, the magic suddenly disappeared without any warning.
A white tower emerged from the center of the palace, shattering the roof like a mushroom breaking through the sidewalk. It is taller than any building in Al Kahari.
At the bottom of the tower, two huge doors opened, and a dozen wizards emerged from inside, each with a haughty and imposing appearance that would last a lifetime. Lingsifeng seemed to recognize a few of the faces, who had stuttered on the university podium or looked out at the world from the campus, always with a kind expression. There is not a single ruthless and vicious person with a green face and fangs here, but there is something in their expressions that is enough to scare a sensitive nerve.
Negil retreated behind a nearby wall and found himself facing Lingsifeng's anxious eyes.
Hey, isn't that magic
I know, "Ling Si Feng said," it's not right
Nagil looked up at the sparkling tower.
Can -
It just doesn't feel right, "Ling Sifeng said." Don't ask me why
Half a dozen guards from Shalifa rushed out from under an arch and charged towards the wizards. Their silence in battle made this rapid attack even more frightening. Their swords shone in the sunlight for a moment, then the two wizards turned around and reached out their hands——
Nigel turned his eyes away.
Uh huh, "he said.
Several curved knives fell on the cobblestone ground.
I think we should walk away very, very quietly, "Ling Sifeng said.
But didn't you see what they just turned those people into
Dead man, "Lingsifeng replied," I know. I'm not going to think about it
Nagil felt that she would think of it for the rest of her life, especially on windy nights. The significance of being killed by magic lies in the fact that compared to steel, magic is more creative; It can provide you with various fresh and interesting ways of dying, and Negil couldn't help but think about the shapes of the corpses he had just seen, although they only existed for a moment and were quickly engulfed by the merciful eight colored flames.
I didn't think wizards were like that, "he said to Lingsifeng as he ran." I thought, um, I thought they weren't that scary, but rather more silly. They were characters like clowns
You can just laugh off what happened just now, "murmured Ling Sifeng.
But they just killed people like that, without even -
I really hope you don't keep bringing up this topic. I've seen it myself
Nagil took a step back. He narrowed his eyes.
You are also a wizard, "he accused.
Not that kind, "Lingsifeng said impatiently.
What kind of person are you
The kind that doesn't kill
They looked at those people as if they didn't matter at all - "Na'jaer shook his head." The worst thing is this
That's right
Lingsifeng dropped this syllable heavily like a tree trunk, cutting off Nagil's thoughts. The boy shuddered, but at least he closed his mouth. Lingsi Feng started to feel a little sorry for him, which was really unusual - usually he felt that all his pity should be left to himself,
Is this the first time you've seen someone killed? "He asked.
Hmm
How long have you been a barbarian hero
Um, what year is this
Ling Sifeng hid at the corner and looked towards another road, but the remaining people in the palace were panicked and didn't have time to pay attention to them.
So you've been wandering outside all this time? "He said quietly," to the point of forgetting the time? I understand. This year is the Year of the Coyote
Oh. In that case, probably - "Nagil's lips moved silently -" about three days. Listen, "he quickly added," how could they kill someone like that without even thinking about it
I don't know, "Ling Sifeng's tone indicated that he was actually thinking.
I mean, even the time Big Vizier asked someone to throw me into the snake pit, he at least seemed to care about me
"That's good. Everyone should have more Dim sum."
I mean, he even laughed heartily
Ah, he also has a great sense of humor
