Chapter 509 Entering the City, the Shock From Other Races!
When I stepped out of the territory for the first time, I felt a sense of relief. I turned around and looked at the territory that was getting farther and farther away.
And Oreo, who was standing at the edge of the rain curtain and quietly looking at himself.
Su Mo couldn't help but reveal a trace of relief on his face.
He waved his hand secretly and watched Oreo, who was carrying a mission, turn around and run into the territory.
Su Mo turned his head and sat down straight.
In the eyes of others, he seemed to be "resting with his eyes closed".
But in fact, the information coming from the mark was being absorbed crazily by him!
After spending 20,000 survival points and obtaining the full operation rights of the mark, the hidden benefits brought by it should not be underestimated.
The information contained in it not only includes some memories of the dwarf Hal, but also a brief introduction to the information of the Demon Soul Clan.
Unlike what I imagined, the hierarchy in the Demon Soul Clan is so strict that even the tree people cannot compare with it.
When everyone has the ability to disguise.
High-level marks will bring a repressive force to low-level marks that is almost like the power of heaven, which naturally makes it difficult to detect the situation of insubordination.
For these so-called property mercenaries, the owner of wealth has absolute rights, just like using items.
In other words, even if Su Mo now orders all 18 mercenaries to die, the other party cannot refuse and can only execute the order.
Otherwise, the end will be exactly the same as the backlash of the mark, and they will die on the spot.
However, the price of these mercenaries is not cheap, according to the level.
Twelve first-level mercenaries, the price of each person fluctuates around 500 points.
Second-level mercenaries are not expensive either, and they can also be bought for only 1,000 points.
As for the third level, at this level, unless you are a fool like Hal, who borrows tens of thousands of dollars to do "big work", it is not difficult to keep your points at 100 points step by step.
And going up, to the fourth, fifth, and even sixth levels, there is no demand for them.
Unless something unexpected happens, you will never see a strong man of this level in the trading market.
As for this accident
"Hal, how about I sell my dwarf craftsman template this time and raise some money to redeem our house first, otherwise we will have to sleep outside the city"
"Once it happens"
Outside the caravan, the rain curtains fell one after another, taking away the floating dust on the ground.
Lifting the curtain, Turner first looked at the mercenaries who had turned into coolie lizards and were working hard to pull the cart.
Then, he turned his head and stared at Su Mo with his eyes closed, swallowing his saliva repeatedly.
After thinking again and again, seeing that Su Mo was still as steady as a mountain, he finally couldn't help it, and his throat moved up and down slightly to make suggestions.
Like other huge alien races that came to the new world with their own cities.
The Demon Soul Clan also has a corresponding large gathering place.
However, their gathering place is a bit strange. It is not standing in a fixed place, but can be moved at will.
All those who hold the mark can activate the mark to obtain the latest location of the gathering place after entering the territory.
Similarly, if you live in the city, you can move with the main city, and your safety is maximized.
If you live outside the city, you may find that the main city has disappeared after waking up, and you will be forced into a dangerous situation.
According to the previous situation, if it disappears, it will be a big deal to get it again and hurry up.
But now the Bright Empire is like crazy, and it will start an invasion war in two or three days.
Once you are abandoned by the main city, you will really have to wait for death.
"What are you selling? Our property is just mortgaged, not really sold."
Turner was confused: "But"
"No buts, I still have 100% ownership of the property. Who dares to occupy it? It's just right."
"Our funds are also running out. After living here for so many days, it's time to pay some rent."
Quickly checking the property left by Hal's parents in the mark, after discovering that it was just occupied by someone, Su Mo showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
I have been in the wasteland for so long.
No one has ever taken advantage of him.
In the end times without rules, fists are the best weapon to protect yourself.
Dwarf Hal didn't understand the rules, so he could only get worse and worse. He had a fifth-level template, but now he was in debt.
Seeing Su Mo so confident, Turner had to open his mouth, and finally turned into a long silent sigh.
In the dark rainy night.
Two carriages slid slowly from east to west.
During the journey, the ruts kept rolling out traces on the ground, and then they were washed away by rain and became blurred.
In such weather, the speed of a group of twenty people was extremely slow.
But fortunately, the territories of these alien races have not been fully spread out.
Even the Demon Soul Clan only relied on the expansion of its subordinates to occupy an area of about 300 kilometers.
According to the location information sent back by the mark today, as long as everyone treks about 280 kilometers, they can reach it.
Lying in the car, listening to the sound of rain, Su Mo was a little nervous at first, as he had just left the territory.
He would occasionally lift the curtain to see the road conditions outside, and the end of the horizon looming in the darkness in the distance.
But later, after ensuring that these mercenaries were 100% "loyal" and could not do anything wrong to the owner of the mark,
Su Mo simply went inside and fell asleep with a little alertness.
In this state, although you cannot obtain 100% sleep effect, it will take longer to make up for it.
But in terms of safety, once anyone with evil intentions comes within three meters of Somo, he will be able to wake up and react immediately.
Wow!
Wow!
It's not like a safe little bed in an underground shelter, lying on a carriage and feeling the ups and downs.
Not long after, Sumo had a rare dream.
Since I started taking Nether Energy Water, the quality of my sleep has improved, and the number of dreams has become less and less frequent.
About three months ago, Sumo was completely freed from the trouble of dreams.
Now, after disguising himself as a dwarf, some of the magical effects brought by the psionic water are also lurking.
The sun and the moon alternate.
Time flies.
One night passed in the blink of an eye, and time came to April 5th on the last calendar day.
"Hal, Hal, wake up, we're almost there!"
In a daze, he heard someone calling Hal's name repeatedly, and Sumo couldn't wake up from his sleep for a while.
But the next second, after realizing that he was Hal, Su Mo sat up straight.
Fortunately, the dwarf's height was still more than half of a person's height from the roof of the car, so Somo didn't hit his head all at once.
"Here we are?"
"It's almost there. There are still about sixty kilometers left. Let's go out and have some food first. We'll need money for everything we do when we get into the city. We still have a lot of loans, so let's make ends meet!"
Pointing to the mercenaries who were cooking in the distance, Turner was in good spirits and looked radiant.
He nodded and indicated that he would sit down and relax for a while.
Turner lowered the curtain, leaving Somo alone in the caravan with some light.
Without going out, Somo lay down next to the curtain. Through the only gap in the curtain, Somo observed the surrounding terrain and the sun that was already high in the sky.
Then, through the mark feedback, the current location and the location of the territory's main city were confirmed.
Calculated based on the direction and distance traveled, the straight-line distance to the main city of the Demon Soul Clan is about 470 kilometers southwest of Tieshi Mountain.
In modern society, it only takes about four hours to reach a 500-kilometer highway.
But in the current New World, where the terrain is complex and animal power is still used during travel, five hundred kilometers is a quite safe distance.
Once a war breaks out, if you know the news, you have at least ten hours to prepare.
"Fortunately, Oreo brought the message back with him."
"Otherwise, if I disappear for three to five days, there will definitely be riots in the territory!"
I stretched out beautifully and thought about my dream last night:
The depression is unprecedentedly powerful, with tens of meters of walls surrounding the edge of the territory. Everyone in the territory is like a dragon, and it is a grand scene of worship from all races.
Sumo couldn't help but cheer up, opened the curtain and jumped out.
Landing firmly, his legs relaxed a little, and the soft soil carried the weight of the dwarf well.
Unlike the world of 1.9 meters, the world of 80 centimeters does have some fun in it.
Seeing that the ordinary flowers and plants on the ground could be placed on his calves, Somo smiled and walked towards the place where the campfire was raised with his head held high.
"Master Hal, breakfast is already being prepared. I will bring you water for washing right now."
The tree man who was fierce and bearded last night is now as well-behaved as a chicken.
He stretched out his long tree arms and fetched a basin and a kettle. Before Somo could get closer, the tree man had done everything and put them on the shelf respectfully.
"Good job, Bart."
After looking at the latter's expressionless tree face with a somewhat thoughtful look, Somo lowered his head and began to wash up.
A person's change may happen overnight or quietly.
But this change comes slowly and will not change all previous habits and behaviors in an instant.
Having obtained about 20% of Hal's memories, Sumo could only rely on his own conjecture to fill in certain details.
As for whether these people would see through it, Sumo didn't care too much.
After all, for these mercenaries, as long as the mark is still there, even if they know in their hearts that the Hal now is not the Hal before, it will not help.
They still have to obey orders.
The only troublesome thing is Turner, the dwarf who gets along with Hal day and night. But at this stage, there is no way to worry about it. We can only take one step at a time.
After washing up.
Sit on the small table spread out and eat a meal that is only salty and hard to swallow.
After everyone had finished the two big pots, the convoy set off again.
This time, after having a full meal, Sumo did not continue to sit in the car. Instead, he followed the team and at the same time explored the situation inside the Demon Soul Clan's territory from time to time.
Unlike the depression, the Demon Soul Clan's land is obviously much more fertile.
This can be seen just from the large expanse of lush green grass that is more than 20 centimeters tall.
At the same time, within the territory, Soma could still feel that his whole body seemed to have received a layer of blessing.
Not only did his mind become clearer, but his physical recovery speed also jumped sharply, giving him a feeling of being freed from the shackles.
“In ancient times, it was always said that talented people were outstanding, and the better the area, the higher the chance of producing talented people.”
"Looking at it now, it seems like it is really the case!"
"It's really strange. Is this bonus a chain reaction brought about by the territory's potential value?"
Because the ownership of this land still belongs to the Demon Soul Clan, even the system cannot find out the specific potential value attributes.
After realizing that the team's speed dropped significantly because his dwarf body walked too slowly.
Su Mo simply returned to the front of the car and sat down, letting the mercenaries who were pulling him start to run.
Sixty kilometers.
According to the ordinary people's footwork, even if it is an endless plain, it takes about two hours to reach it.
But with a few mercenaries transformed into coolie lizards, it only took about half an hour, and the distance was only more than ten kilometers.
And here, even if it is far away.
Seeing the "giant beast" crawling on the ground at the end of the horizon, Su Mo can also feel unparalleled shock.
Ten kilometers away, even a hundred-meter-high building looks only a finger long.
You can feel the grandeur at this distance.
Needless to say, at least the city covers an area of more than ten thousand acres!
"I'm back, I'm finally back!"
"Damn the dwarves, we don't have to go back anymore!"
Looking at the city from afar, not only did the mercenaries' pace suddenly speed up, but even Turner stood up excitedly, muttering to himself.
No matter how many loans they had, returning to this city was equivalent to returning to the safest place for these people from the Demon Soul Clan.
Looking at the excitement of these people, Su Mo thought about it and stood up, with "excitement" in his eyes.
However, his excitement was not because he went to a safe place.
But
he finally had the opportunity to enter the city of an alien race and see the style of other civilizations!
Whether it was the camp of the lion people or the castle of the dog-headed people, in the wasteland, they could only be said to be ordinary small gathering places where people could live.
Because of the number of people and strength, their gathering places still maintained a single management form and did not derive other social attributes.
Even if you want to blend in, you have to worry about whether someone will see through it.
But this city of the Demon Soul Clan is different.
Not only are they numerous, they also have financial activities such as trading, going out for adventures, purchasing, resource recycling, and even loans.
In terms of level, it is tantamount to completely crushing the former.
Through the Demon Soul Clan, we can also roughly understand the forms of other races on the continent.
It can be said to kill two birds with one stone!
"I don't know if the city of the tree people is so magnificent. If all the neighbors are like this, then what I showed in virtual reality"
"It's still too conservative!"
Thinking about the village illusion that was boldly created to fool the tree people before, and looking at the Demon Soul Clan's residence with a wall at least 60 meters high in front of him, Su Mo was quite amused.
This main city of the Demon Soul Clan lacks a sense of technology, but it has the flavor of an ancient Chinese city.
From the city wall, the whole body is made of black and blue bricks and stones, and the black and shiny light is not inferior under the sunlight.
At the top, you can see densely packed watchtowers, which are heavily guarded.
As for the entrance to the city, the arch is at least 20 meters high, and the ground is paved with stones that are almost the same as the city wall, but the color is slightly lighter.
At this time, there are many people queuing, but because the verification method is simple, the speed of entering the city is not slow.
"Hal, after entering the city, should we go to the wandering place to find a place to stay first, or..."
"Go home directly, we have real estate, why go to the wandering place!"
After getting the expected answer, Turner smiled bitterly, and then nodded numbly.
Before entering the city, he seemed to have seen what everyone would encounter next.
The other mercenaries, who were originally in high spirits, calmed down a bit when they heard Su Mo say that he wanted to go home.
It is obvious that the person who occupied Hal's mortgaged house must not be a good person.
He didn't take these to heart, looking at the city gate that was already close at hand, and the tall blocky instruments on both sides responsible for checking identity.
Su Mo straightened his mentality, stood on the axle with his head held high, and let the mercenaries pull the car forward.
Wow!
With a flash of light, the blue mark and the instrument responded, and as the information was transmitted, a thought came into Su Mo's ears.
The next second, the entire car body was completely immersed in the city.
Suddenly, the scene in front of him became clear!
