Chapter 416: Visitors From the Abyss
The pairing in front of us can't be called weird, but it can't be linked with the word normal either.
A silver-gray saddle was draped over the shoulders of that roaring war horse, and its eyes shone with a strange red light. Even the battle armor of a horse was wrapped from the waist to the forehead.
It is no exaggeration to say that he is armed to the teeth.
The strange black smoke emitted by the horses is like a medium that can be transformed into various forms at will.
The shape of the knight on horseback is also quite powerful, except for the steel helmet that has nowhere to be placed on the head and is tied to the back of the neck.
The rest of the place is surrounded by strong metal armor, and the neck is cut neatly, no scars are seen, but the armor reflects light like a mirror.
Considering that the horse is nearly three meters tall, just standing here is not angry and pretentious, oppressing the two demigods present.
Because of its arrival, the green candles on both sides blew up a strong wind,
The light of the candle has been extremely weak.
"Why do you always summon these weird things?"
Ms. Maggie looked at him suspiciously, seriously doubting his aesthetics, and none of the messengers summoned three times was a normal creature.
"Hey, the armored swordsman rides on the horse, it's super cool."
Tu Fu protested this, and couldn't help but look at this person's background, "But you look more like a medieval figure, and you have a means of transportation. The speed must not be slow."
He had to admire the directional precision of the summoning ceremony, and he wanted a messenger with a simple mind.
As a result, two strange creatures without heads appeared in a row, but fortunately, they were at least less ferocious than the last one.
"...are you calling me?"
A strange thing happened, a gentle and magnetic female voice came from the position of the headless horseman.
"You can talk." Tu Fu was taken aback. Only then did he notice that the other party's breastplate was slightly protruding. It was indeed a lady. He tentatively said incredulously:
"Sister Sai?"
"Hey, what are you talking about?"
Ms. Maggie shook her hand, "If her vocal organs are not in her head, she must use ventriloquism to speak."
"I see."
Tu Fu nodded subconsciously, and looked at the female knight again: "Yes, ma'am, I was the one who summoned you, and I need to borrow the power of the summoned person in the spirit world to do some errands for me, such as delivering letters. If you meet my requirements."
"Demigod, not bad." When Tu Fu looked at her, the latter also saw through his sequence level at a glance, and only left a pretty good evaluation.
"...you want me to be your messenger?"
The Headless Horseman pauses deliberately every time he speaks.
Serving in the spirit world is not uncommon for creatures there.
They themselves have to travel around, and they just take over the business of traveling between the two places for some people, just to earn some pocket money on weekdays.
"If you run fast enough in the spirit world to ensure that the letter is not snatched by weird guys, I think so, I need a messenger to run on my behalf."
The condition Tu Fu set was not too difficult.
Creatures who dare to make trouble in the spirit world have always been pitifully rare, and those like him who dare to chase tens of thousands of meters in a ghost ship to snatch letters are very few unstable factors.
"……I am very fast."
The headless woman leaned forward, as if to prove something to Tu Fu, her legs lightly pinched the horse's belly, and with a "swish" sound, the man and the horse disappeared in an instant.
Hush——
The flames of the two candles in front of the name slowly ignited again.
"Look, you've been tricked."
Ms. Maggie covered her mouth gloatingly, "Another messenger was scared away by you, how many bad things you have to do to be so disgusted by spirit creatures."
"No way!"
Tu Fu just became a little suspicious, and then there was another whistling wind in his ears.
In just a few moments, the cloud of black smoke that disappeared just now reappeared, and the headless female knight riding a black horse suddenly appeared here.
I saw that she was holding a group of intact snow balls tightly in her hands, and it looked like she had just taken them off.
"Could it be the snow from the Quechua Mountains?"
This is the closest distance that Tu Fu can think of. The altitude of the main mountain range is unimaginable, and only on the main peak is snow accumulated all year round.
It took Tu Fu two days to go to Whiskey Hill by airship.
With such an efficient speed, it would be a pity not to be a postman.
"...Are you satisfied?"
Tu Fu's head dropped again and again, admiring the unattractive Headless Horseman very much, "Satisfied, quite satisfied, if you are willing to be my messenger, you can sign a contract with me now, I will never treat my people badly."
"Yes, my reward is one gold coin at a time, gold coins from any era and country are acceptable."
The other party gave a fairly reasonable price.
The average price of other couriers is not bad. In this kind of society where human resources are very expensive, the high handling fee of "express delivery" is of course sky-high.
"Then it's settled." Tu Fu beamed with joy, the most important thing for him now is money.
Every day when he opens his eyes and sees the financial report of the factory under his hand, it is a burst of trouble. His money seems to have the ability to reproduce.
After making the promise, Tu Fu immediately took down a piece of brown parchment from the table that had just recorded the vocabulary of the summoning ceremony, which was a contract for trading with creatures from the spirit world.
As long as the witnesses of this transaction are marked on it, the rule effect can be produced.
Once any party dares to openly violate the contract, it will be punished by the notary.
After thinking for a while, Tu Fu put the following slogans in the notary column: "You are the spokesperson of justice and the guardian of order. This contract belongs to the field of order."
After thinking about it, he only needed the God of Order to appear on the scene during major transactions.
In the column of the name on the brown parchment, Tu Fu readily signed the real name of "Tufu Capet".
After changing hands, he handed over the contract.
"...I follow the call, and I will obey your orders."
The headless horseman concluded the contract, raised his hand to his chest, stretched out the fingertips of the gloved palm, a smear of blood leaked from the top of the glove,
It happened to be able to inscribe her name in the position of Party B's contractor.
"Selti Durlahan."
Ms. Maggie glanced at it from a distance, completely confused about where she came from.
"It doesn't look like the name of the North Continent, maybe it's really a medieval character."
Tu Fu rubbed his chin, trying to recall in his mind that he had indeed never seen this name in any historical records.
"It's really sloppy. You don't even know where she came from or what race she is, so you signed a contract with her hastily." Ms. Maggie looked at the side for a long time, and then suddenly opened her mouth.
"I don't seem to have anything to covet. Since the agreement has been signed, I shouldn't talk about it anymore." Tu Fu shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and subconsciously looked at Celty
"Yes, ma'am, you will not murder me."
"……Won't."
"Hey, you won't just trust her like that, you don't even know where she comes from."
"It doesn't matter."
In fact, Tu Fu felt that he was destined to be with this messenger. He was a headless horseman and he was a ghost captain who lost his heart. They were a match made in heaven.
"abyss."
In addition to serious signing matters, the headless female knight Serti Durlahan continued to give answers in ventriloquist.
"The abyss... wait, what should you say?" Tu Fu didn't care at first, and suddenly woke up after thinking about the two words carefully.
"I come from the abyss."
"You mean the abyss," repeated Ms. Maggie, shaking the soot thoughtfully.
Tu Fu obviously felt an inexplicable panic, and reluctantly accepted the words: "I heard that when the Genesis Seven Gods were born, all those strange demons and monsters were driven to that place by the Seven Gods."
"As far as I know, it's really a terrible place. The living environment is quite harsh. Almost weird creatures are gathered in that ghost place. It's like raising insects. Only a very small number of creatures can survive."
Ms. Maggie shrugged her shoulders and asked with a strange look: "How is it going there now?"
"...a turmoil."
