Chapter 3149 Testing
It was almost dusk when we arrived at the next city.
It was lunch time, and there were very few adventurers fighting on the streets.
More often than not, members of the town guard were gathering bodies everywhere to identify them.
I have long been used to all kinds of misery these days, but I still can't fully adapt to it.
After all, in Zephyr Continent, most of these fights occur between humans and monsters.
Even if there is blood on the ground and stumps paving the road, it will only give passers-by a disgusting feeling, but it will never make people feel uncomfortable.
But here, it's different.
Friends who may have been chatting and laughing one moment while exchanging glasses of wine, may be fighting against each other under the orders of the organization the next moment, with blood splattering on bricks.
Human life is like grass, human feelings are like the passing wind.
Sighing secretly in my heart, I took the Blue Witch and Tuo Tuo into my arms and walked towards the largest hotel in the city.
Some people may wonder why they have to choose the biggest hotel instead of an ordinary hotel. Is it because money is too much and one is too willful?
I want to say that this is really not because of having too much money and being willful. The main reason is that in the devil world where human life is as cheap as grass, the best way to avoid unexpected disasters is to pretend to be a noble.
The more luxurious a noble is, the more local people will not dare to look down upon it, and people from the six major organizations will also reduce the number of times they trouble you to a certain extent.
In the final analysis, this is actually buying peace with money.
Although the method seems crude, it is effective.
Entered the hotel, opened the room, and prepared to rest.
However, the rest plan was suddenly interrupted by a knock on the door. When the door was opened, it was two adventurers who were quite pleasing to the eye in terms of height and appearance.
"Uh, please, who are you?"
"We are the town guard."
One of them said.
"Due to the chaos in the town recently, we need to do some registration. Please cooperate."
Another person said.
"Okay," I said, "If you have anything to ask, just ask."
"Are you a local resident?"
"no."
"Where do you come from?"
I thought about it and gave the name of the town near the Red Witch Forest.
As soon as this name came out, the two adventurers were obviously stunned - they had never heard of the name of this town.
But it didn’t look like I was lying, so I asked again, “Can you tell me your route?”
"Of course, but I have to think about it."
The adventurer in the escort was quite reasonable and didn't press me. He just waited quietly aside with a small book in his hand.
After a while, I told them a route that was mixed with truth and lies.
After recording, they murmured in low voices for a while, and then said to me with gentle faces: "Excuse me, thank you for your cooperation."
After seeing the two of them off, I came to the bed and sat down.
The blue witch came over, put her chin on my shoulder, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"They say they are from the town guard, but I think they are more like from the Kaxiu sect."
The blue witch frowned: "So, the suspicion is on us?"
"That's not true," I said, "They are still investigating the route, but it won't be long before all outsiders, including us, will probably be interrogated."
"How about we leave tonight?"
Looking at the deepening dusk, I shook my head and said, "I can't leave anymore, but don't be too nervous. Our work is very clean. They can't find any evidence. And as long as we speak well, no matter it's cross-examination, , or a trial, you can pass it.”
"What a troublesome bunch of guys!" the Blue Witch said angrily.
"The Kaxiu sect is like this," I said: "On the one hand, it plunders everywhere and continuously strengthens its own strength. On the other hand, it is narrow-minded. It will take almost crazy revenge on anyone who hurts one of its own people. After hurting others, it will also Don’t let others fight back against them, whether it’s funny or not.”
"What a bunch of scoundrels!"
The blue witch concluded.
"That's right," I agreed with a smile, "They are just a bunch of scoundrels."
"However, the current situation is that these gangsters are very powerful. Although we are not afraid, we don't want to cause trouble, so we will stay here honestly for now. As long as they don't go too far, we will be polite. Treat each other.”
"What if it's too much?"
The blue witch turned to me and asked.
"It's too much. What else is there to discuss? Just do what he does and run away."
"Tch, you still have to run away in the end." The blue witch smacked her lips and said disdainfully: "I thought you were going to kill all the Kaxiu sects in the entire city."
"Are you kidding?" I said with a bitter smile: "Do you know how many members of the Kaxiu sect are there in this city? Do you know how many hidden secrets of the Kaxiu sect are hidden in this town? As long as all the members of the Kaxiu sect are not found, , kill them all, and the Kaxiu faction’s reinforcements will spring up like mushrooms after a rain, and then kill them one after another, and they will appear one after another, killing them endlessly, in an endless stream.”
At this point, I sighed softly and said: "The most terrifying thing is never the group attack, but the continuous harassment, without end or end."
The Blue Witch thought for a while and agreed with my statement: "Just like when I was in the institute, there is no end and no hope."
"Don't be too pessimistic." I smiled and touched her hair: "The institute no longer exists, and you will no longer be oppressed or threatened. Moreover, you have been a human being since a long time ago, and It’s not a tool anymore, so relax.”
"It's not your fault." The blue witch curled her lips and said disdainfully: "I started to relax a long time ago, otherwise why do you think I would be lazy in bed every day?"
I'm ashamed of the Blue Witch's answer.
Isn't it because you are lazy, but because you are making up for the lost easy life?
The temptation from the Kaxiu sect came quickly.
At noon the next day, two heavily armed Kaxiu sect members knocked on the door of my room and told me to bring my weapons and follow them.
I pretended not to know anything and followed them with a confused expression.
Not long after, we came to a place similar to a training ground. One of the Kaxiu sect members pointed to a pile of wooden piles not far away and said to me: "How many swords can you cut them all off?"
After walking around the wooden pile a few times and thinking for a while, I said, "It will cost at least ten swords."
He raised his chin and said, "Go, give it a try."
So I walked to the wooden pile, concentrated on it, gathered my strength, and slashed it with my sword on the wooden pile.
The shadow of the knife passed by, instantly cutting off a wooden stake.
With the help of my strength, I swung the knife again, swish, swish, ten times in a row, and I cut off all the wooden stakes.
Then he held the knife, wiped his forehead, and said, "It's done, do you have any other instructions?"
The two Ka Xiu sect members looked serious and were silent for a moment. The leader waved his hand and said: "No more, you can go back."
"oh."
I responded, turned around and walked back.
However, the moment I was about to walk out of the door, a sharp whistling sound shot straight towards me.
