In the's guest hall, Mo Long was sitting there eating and drinking wildly, the surrounding servants and servants were all staring at him with flushed faces, the servants were shuttling back and forth like butterflies, bringing all kinds of dishes up with flowing water, the empty plates were all carried out with baskets full of water, the fat butler, who was wearing a snow-white shirt, was constantly wiping the sweat off his forehead. He had counted secretly, this child had already eaten more than three hundred dishes.
He just sat there calmly and thought to himself, so it turns out that eating too much can scare people to death! Although he was only wearing a worn out long robe and looked like a beggar, and the servants and attendants around him could easily pull out a person that was more elegant and dignified than him, the servants did not see even the slightest bit of inferiority on this respectable young master's face. On the contrary, there was even a trace of imperceptible aloofness and arrogance on his face.
However, no one felt that he was amiss. As a Mage, he should have a bit of the weird temper of a Mage. All the mages that frequented this place were much weirder than the little mage in front of him.
Humans were usually this cheap. If they had the same kind of behavior as ordinary people, it would be a big weakness. If it was people with status or position, they would be called personality and characteristics.
Only the Slime Baby was lively, constantly changing its various shapes on its ordinary shoulders. The funniest part was that it first turned into the fat butler, then into a fat demon pig, twisting and turning, causing everyone in the room to think but not dare, as they endured the hardship one by one. When the fat butler saw this, he became angered and didn't dare to let out a breath, and could only reveal an awkward smile.
The Demon Dragon had eaten his fill and rested for a while, but the Lord Mayor still did not appear. At this time, he started to stroke the sculptures and accessories on the walls and ceiling, which made the butler extremely nervous. However, he did not dare express any dissatisfaction towards this respected guest.
When Mo Long heard his laughter, he immediately changed his target and jumped over to these long and tender females, causing them to laugh coquettishly as they dodged his hands and claws. In an instant, all the good temperament from their bodies disappeared.
Looking at the ordinariness of the people around him who were ignoring him, then looking at the Slime above his head who was making faces at him and the Demon Dragon who was jumping up and down, the fat butler suddenly had the urge to cry, thinking to himself, my dearest master, if you don't come soon, your lowly servant might not be able to control the situation.
Just like this, nearly half an hour had passed. In total, it had been more than two hours before the arrival of the Mayor s of the Thorn City.
The Mayor of the Thorn City was a lean middle-aged man. Under the protection of two guards, he slowly walked into the reception room. When the fat butler saw him come in, he let out a long breath and immediately introduced him as normal, "Mr. Mage, this is my Mayor's Master Michelle Gen." After that, he went over to introduce the ordinary Mo Long to Michelle Gen.
Lord of Thorn City had an extremely sincere smile on his face, as he politely and disgracefully bowed to Normal and Mo Long, and said: "It is an honor to meet the two legendary geniuses. Welcome to Thorn City, two guests."
He felt quite displeased. Although the officials usually put on airs, they couldn't be left alone for two hours at a time! Thus, after seeing the skinny Mayor, Ordinary used the chance to look straight into his eyes to sneak a glimpse into his memories.
Michelle and Ordinary couldn't help but shiver. He felt that this young man's gaze was too terrifying, and he felt like he could see through them with one glance. Hence, he quickly turned his gaze away.
He said to the two of them, "Young Mr. Mage and this even younger Mr. Golden Swordsman, they were entangled with some things just now and were unable to leave. The two esteemed masters have been waiting for a long time, this is just a small token of apology, and I hope the two of you can forgive me."
A maid brought him a new set of mage equipment, a gorgeous staff, a long silk robe, and a hat with magical properties. Another servant brought him a new set of swordsman equipment, a large sword made of fine steel, a half-body armor and helmet, wrist guards, and knee guards. All of these added up to at least a hundred catties, but he did not seem to be having any trouble holding them. From this, it could be seen that the Mayor's mansion servants were not simple either.
He thanked them indifferently and kept them. Seeing that they were accepted, Lord of Thorn City smiled: Young mage and Mr. Golden Swordsman, may I know your surname, what is your master's name?
"Master Mayor, let's not talk about this nonsense. We are not here to chat and be friends with you, there is an extremely urgent situation that we have to report to you." Ordinary did not reply to Lord of Thorn City's question.
On the contrary, he raised his hand to stop the guard who wanted to speak for him and said: "Esteemed Mr. Mage, please speak frankly if there is anything that you want to say. I will listen attentively."
He pointed to the fainted demon and said: "Lord Mayor, when it was alive, it was just an ordinary mercenary, but now it has become an extremely powerful demon. It is not afraid of blades chopping and slashing, it can only die if it is decapitated. I can tell you very responsibly that there are at least 80,000 demons like this in the mountain. "
Hearing this, Lord of Thorn City's face slightly changed, and said with an expression of disbelief: "Young Mr. Mage, I'm afraid you're exaggerating too much, if there really were eighty thousand of these powerful demons, I'm afraid they would have already charged into the Thorn City."
"Lord Mayor, I am definitely not joking with you. There are no less than eighty thousand such powerful demons in the mountains, and as for why they did not attack down the mountain, I have already investigated about that, because there are still nearly seventy to eighty thousand dead humans waiting to be transformed into such demons!" He exaggerated the information he had gathered twice as much as before and reported it to Lord of Thorn City.
After hearing the ordinary words, Lord of Thorn City actually laughed, he shook his head and said, "Mr. Mage, I am suspicious of your judgement. To tell you the truth, I have also sent mages to investigate. Although they were unable to enter the smoke cloud known as' Death Prison ', the news they brought back confirmed that these demons were all created and controlled by a Necromancer, hiding inside the thick smoke cloud.
As for the Necromancer, I have deliberately gotten a better understanding of them. I know that they are controlling the Undead Spirit through their own mental energies, and controlling seven to eight hundred thousand demons in one go would require a lot of mental strength. God knows, so I do not fully approve of what you have said. "
There is indeed a Necromancer in the mountain. However, this fog is not 'Death Prison', but the ultimate Forbidden Spell of the Undead Magic, 'Undead Heavenly Curtain'. I think that you might have heard of the name of that Necromancer in the mountain, Esterod.
When Lord of Thorn City heard this, he was first filled with smiles, but then his body suddenly shivered, and then he couldn't help but jump up. His expression changed greatly, and he tightly grabbed the armrest of the chair, and asked with a trembling voice: "Is what you said true? The name of the Necromancer that was hidden inside the mountain was really Ai … Is it? Are you sure? "
The Lord of Thorn City didn't even know what to say when he mentioned the Evil God's name, as if this name would bring endless bad luck.
Ordinary nodded solemnly and said, "I'm sure!"
Lord of Thorn City took a deep breath and suppressed his panic. He looked at the people around him and said, "Mr. Mage, how do you know that the Necromancer in the mountain is … What about him? How do you know how many demons there are? "
"Mr. Mayor, I knew that you would ask this question, that's why I brought it here." He pointed at the captive demon and said, "This demon is a high-ranked Demon Chief and has the ability to speak. Although his words are not clear, you can still hear him clearly. You can find a few Mages to interrogate him."
Thorn City City's face became extremely ugly after hearing this. He believed 70% of the ordinary words, and turned around to the butler: "Go and invite Grandmaster Quiddock over! "Be quick!" The butler replied and dashed off.
With his hands clasped behind his back, he paced around the room a few times, and then asked, "Sir Mage, if it is as you say, the Mage in the mountains is Ein …" What do you think I should do with that person's words?
I can't help you make any decisions, but if I were you, I would report this matter to the Emperor as soon as possible, and request the Emperor to send troops to destroy it. "
Lord of Thorn City frowned after hearing this. The Thorn City had a very special status in the empire, it was an almost completely autonomous city. The reason the Burton Empire tolerated the existence of such a city was entirely because of the battle at the very beginning of the founding of the empire.
When Burton Empire was first established, this was still the border city of the empire. At that time, this place was not called Thorn City, in a huge battle with another country, Thorn City was abandoned like an abandoned child, but to everyone's surprise, Thorn City relied on a mercenary group named Brambles to lead 800 mercenaries to block the mad assault of nearly 200,000 troops for 100 days. From then on, the name of the city became Brambles.
After the battle, out of the four hundred thousand survivors from the city, there were less than thirty thousand people. Amongst the thirty thousand survivors, there was not a single man, and all the men above the age of ten with Thorn City or Thorn City had died in battle. What was even more frightening was that the empire had forgotten about the city even after the war, and it wasn't until the armistice was signed that the officials of the empire learned from the enemy that the city still existed.
From that moment on, this piece of land did not accept any alms from the empire nor any orders from the empire. At that moment, the fresh blood that had flowed out of the thirty thousand people's mouths shot out into a red light, surrounding the entire Thorn City, forming a huge statue of the Goddess of Light in the sky, which then turned into golden specks of light that sprinkled all over the city, signifying that the Goddess of Light had accepted the request of the people to use their blood as medium.
Because of this miracle, and also because of the shame in his heart, the Emperor of the Empire allowed Thorned City to become a nation within a nation, an autonomous city, this article was written into the Imperial Constitution, and in the following three hundred years, Thorn City was once again developed by the seventy orphans that remained behind. These seventy orphans were the ancestors of the seventy Elders of the current Thorn City senate, and the Mayor of Thorn City was chosen by the five surviving mercenary descendants.
Every Mayor and clan elder needed to understand the bloody history of Thorn City. They had to remember that the hard-earned freedom and autonomy was obtained through the blood of their ancestors.
From the Mayor's memories, Ordinary knew another secret. It was that the person who made the decision to give up Thorn City was an ancestor of the Zi Jin family. Therefore, Thorn City was a place that people disliked and even hated the Zi Jin family.
It was because he knew about this that Ordinary Life understood the difficult situation the Mayor was in. Seeing him frown, he knew that he had wasted his efforts and sighed, then said to Lord of Thorn City: "Lord Mayor, forgive me for my bluntness, but the Necromancer in the mountain is not something you can handle. Even if you do not wish to ask the Emperor for help for some reason, it would be best for you to send this message. You are just a Mayor of the Thorn City, and don't think that the mountain ranges on the two sides are under your jurisdiction? "
After the Lord of Thorn City heard this, his brows twitched and he said, "That's right! Thorn Mountain is a territory of the Burton Empire. I can notify the Emperor that a terrifying Necromancer has appeared on his territory. As for what the Emperor will do … "
Just then, the fat butler rushed over with an old mage who was over sixty leagues away. The Lord of Thorn City said to him, "Mr. Kuixedo, this demon's memory contains some very important information. I hope that you can help me obtain it no matter what!"
The old mage nodded and cast a Floating Spell on the demon to bring it out. Lord of Thorn City looked up and down at him and said, "Mr. Mage, I admire your vast knowledge, I really want to make friends with you. I wonder if you could give me your name?"
He understood perfectly well what kind of person Lord of Thorn City was. Therefore, he said straightforwardly, "My name is' Ordinary ', he is my brother Dillategel." Oh, this little fellow is mischievous. " As soon as he finished speaking, the Slime Baby grabbed his head and shouted, protesting that he did not introduce himself.
The mischievous transformed into a hand that flew in front of the Thorny Mayor. Lord of Thorn City was startled for a moment, then carefully extended his hand to shake hands with the Slime Baby. Lord of Thorn City looked at the Slime Baby and said: "What a strange little fellow."
Even though he was looking at the Slime Baby, he knew that the Slime Baby was talking about himself.
It was obvious that just the word "ordinary" was not enough to satisfy his curiosity. He wanted to know more about him from their conversation, such as how tall they were, how heavy they were, where they lived, what kind of parents had raised these two freaks, and so on.
In regards to his ordinary thoughts, he naturally understood, so after talking for a long time with him, he didn't say anything useful. Lord of Thorn City was secretly shocked, but he was also secretly angry, thinking that this little fellow was simply the reincarnation of an old fox, it really was difficult to get anything out of him.
He wanted to make a move on Mo Long, but Mo Long only said one sentence, "My words are very precious, in the future, I will write a famous saying and it will be written in a book for all eternity. So I want to say one sentence and you have to pay me 10,000 gold coins!" Lord of Thorn City gritted his teeth in anger. Although he was very rich, he couldn't spend money like this. Thus, he could only give up on the idea of chatting with him.
Fortunately, Mage Quirke had returned with a pale face. He had told Lord of Thorn City about the things he had dug up from the Demon Soul, confirming the ordinary information with great force.
You're sure his master is Ei-" That person? " He really wanted to hear even an uncertain answer, but reality was cruel. Grand Mage Quake's face turned green as he screamed, "City lord, could it be that I will joke around with you with such a thing? I am very sure that the masters of those devils are the most insane and scariest necromancer in the past thousand years, a Grand Magic Scholar whose strength is in no way inferior to a Mage!
Every time Kui Ke said an adjective, Lord of Thorn City's face became more and more unsightly. After he said Esterod's name, Mayor Lord's face became even uglier than those demons.
Seeing that he had completed his task, he stood up and said: "Master Mayor, now that you have confirmed the truth of the news, we will take our leave."
The Lord of Thorn City did not even speak and just nodded his head dumbly. Seeing that, the ordinary person could only sigh and remind him: "Master Mayor, you have already accepted the quest from both the Adventurer Guild and Mercenary Guild, saying that as long as you know the source of the demon, you will receive a reward of 10 million gold coins. Shouldn't you keep your promise now?"
