Blood Princess and the Knight

After a short chat, Ji Bai saw the security problems existing in Black Swamp. Before he even entered the city, he was blackmailed by a group of performers in broad daylight, and those residents who fled in a hurry were probably local residents. ÷san∫Let’s read ∫ books÷

As they ran away, their tails were exposed.

Ji Bai almost understood why this land was not suitable for human habitation. In addition to the natural environmental factors, there were also humanistic environment reasons.

The country of Black Marsh is inhabited by tribes. The main capital, Xilan, is located in a depression surrounded by mountains. Over the mountains, you can roughly see the outline of the entire main capital.

It is different from the dark and formidable city walls of the Vampires, and it is not like the simple, crude and rough-worked solid fortress of the Trolls. It is more like a village than a city.

The 'city wall' is made of black wood. Compared with the brick wall, it looks very unreliable. There are guards guarding the head and gate of the village, but those guards are really lazy. They lean against the threshold and put their spears upside down. Rather than guarding the gate, he seemed to be on vacation.

"Hey, we're here. After so many years, nothing has changed here." There was a hint of emotion in Huo Lei's words. He seemed to feel that the pendant around his neck was uncomfortable, so he took it off.

"There is no need to hide your identity in this unowned land. Brother Ji Bai, you should be lucky that I caught up with your carriage. Otherwise, where would you have found such a good and responsible guide? Those lizardmen would have been involved." The money just runs away." Feeling Ji Bai's doubtful gaze, Huo Lei explained in a joking tone.

After descending the mountain road, the carriage slowed down and slowly approached the city wall made of wood.

The closer the distance, the more realistic the view. The city wall is not bare. There are many skeletons left by unknown creatures hanging on it, which are pieced together into some strange patterns. The yellow flag flying on the city wall has a picture of a dragon covered with countless long dragons. A dragon pierced by a spear.

At the city gate, several Argonian soldiers threw their spears aside and gathered together to play poker. Not to be outdone, the soldiers guarding the city gate sat on the edge of the city gate and dozed off with snot bubbles coming from their noses.

The defense level couldn't be more lax, and it felt like just walking by so blatantly wouldn't arouse their alertness, or in other words, they didn't want to care about it at all?

Just as Huo Lei said, the appearance of the Argonians was so strange that Ji Bai couldn't help but take a second look.

The ugly red horns seemed to serve as hair. The big eyes were incompatible with the huge basin. The mouth was long, the fangs were exposed, and the thick scaly tail was wagging behind it. .

It looks like a standing lizard.

As the carriage approached, Huo Lei signaled the two people in the carriage to get out of the car, walked to the snoring Argonian guard and coughed twice.

"Uh-huh?

With his nose bursting with snot, the Argonian looked drowsily at the tall figure blocking the sun in front of him, then turned over and continued to sleep.

"Ahem, brother, please wake up, someone is coming to the city.

de light

Just come in, don't disturb my nap. I didn't sleep well last night. The Argonian guard waved his hand impatiently like a fly. ≒Zero﹤Seven﹤中文﹤文≒

"You need to get us a pass, otherwise we will be caught by the guards when we go in, and we will become stowaways?" Huo Lei frowned, feeling helpless at these guards who were lazy and neglecting their duties.

"Who wants to talk about this now? The guards are too lazy to send you, what can you find out?" I was very annoyed by Huo Lei's repeated harassment, and seemed to be in no mood to sleep this afternoon.

Huo Lei dropped the gold coin on the ground expressionlessly.

The sound of metal falling to the ground made the Aragonian wake up from his drowsiness. His little eyes were shining brightly. Why did he grab the gold coins on the ground for fear that Huo Lei would regret it?

"Master, how many of you? I'll go get the passes for you right now. Haha, you're welcome. If anyone needs anything, just tell me." The Argonian guard who took the gold coin changed his face faster than flipping through a book. Changed his attitude.

"Three people, trolls, humans, and sub-cats." Huo Lei pointed at the armored man behind him and the timid Ker.

"Oh! You three, right? It's been a long time since we've seen humans visit our Black Swamp. Please invite me!" The Argonian guard made an inviting gesture to the three of them enthusiastically, and then kicked them awake. A colleague was sleeping soundly beside him. "Goudan is still sleeping? Get up and work."

Ji Bai couldn't help but feel a little surprised, even though the other party was just a money-hungry person.

“The carriage can enter the city.

The dragon guard's face was full of flattery.

"Do I need to check for prohibited items?"

"What? Prohibited items? Hey, how could an upright person like you bring that kind of thing, without checking it, please come in

After personally handing over the passes carved with wooden signs to the three of them, under the enthusiastic and flattering expressions of the Argonian guards, the three of them entered the battlefield in a carriage. As for those in the city, they were busy playing poker and had no time to pay attention to them. them.

Ji Bai finally saw how lax the management of this city was. After all, this was the imperial capital and the place where the rulers lived under the emperor's feet was like this. How chaotic other areas would be.

The environment of the Black Swamp was much worse than Ji Bai imagined.

The beams supporting the house were dug into the muddy ground. There was no foundation, and the house was crooked.

It makes people wonder whether this twisted building will collapse when sleeping at night. or work small t t

A place that has not been restrained for a long time is like a huge garbage dump that is out of control. The stench is so unbearable that Ke'er covers her mouth and nose with her tail, her face a little ugly.

Huo Lei seemed to be completely used to it.

When Ji Bai was a knight, he went into sewers and dug out garbage pools quite a few times. He didn't go to any place, so he could tolerate it.

But this is not inhabitable at all. I have some admiration for the residents living here. Their vitality is really tenacious.

There are many foreigners on the street, and the local residents seem to be used to it. Even the locals have not let go of this business opportunity. Map book stores and guides have opened everywhere, and when they see passers-by, they put on their flattering clothes. Face.

The big lips are twisted into a very weird arc that makes people look very weird. He rubs his hands together with a flattering expression on his face. Whether his expression is funny or not, it can be made into an emoticon.

"Old Huo, do you roughly remember the specific local route?" Ji Bai glanced at the map book next to him, and the meaning was self-evident.

"I don't remember. Besides, after so many years, some changes have occurred here. Even if I remember, I guess there will be some deviation."

Horley didn't stop in front of any map book store.

Ji Bai understood and no longer glanced at the pile of shoddy and poorly maintained atlases on the store stall.

The quality of street stall goods cannot be guaranteed, which is roughly what it means.

When Ji Bai arrived for the first time, he could almost tell that this is a race that is only interested in profit. Their attitude towards you depends on what you can bring to them.

If you want to go to the Lost Continent, the Black Swamp is a necessary transit stop. Otherwise, Ji Bai would not want to go to this place for sightseeing.

Bordering the Lost Desert where the Lost Continent is located, the country of Black Swamp must have a deep understanding of the Lost Continent.

It is impossible to estimate how long the Argonians have lived in Black Swamp, at least for several epochs. There must be relevant records about the Lost Continent in their documents.

As for things like documents, of course they can only be stored in archives such as libraries.

However, after seeing the whole picture of the Black Swamp, Ji Bai hesitated. He was worried about whether such a primitive level of civilization could exist in a place like a library to store books.

Well, you have to figure out the situation first, right? There will always be something to gain by looking around. At least it is the only biological city-state bordering the Forgotten Desert. Trying to find it is impossible and there is nothing to gain.

Fleeting and fleeting, like a flash in the pan, the dazzling and gorgeous rose gold flashed in this disorderly land with muddy black as the main color, which was extremely inconsistent. "or 莹" "The long and beautiful dragon horns of Wanqu are instantly eye-catching. The slender and concave figure walking among the bloated crowd is so real and beautiful. The flawless look does not seem to belong to this dirty world. world that makes people feel so far away from her.

She drifted with the crowd, as if no one had noticed her but herself.

Ji Bai's eyes were eager to capture this dreamy scene that was beyond his reach, but he felt that his body was frozen in place, unable to move.

At this moment, the noisy world seemed to have stopped, and the overcrowded crowd was like a rough sea that suddenly became calm, as if only the body and the beautiful shadow were left in the world: n_

She seemed to feel her own presence and stopped in her tracks. Just one breath felt like a century had passed.

The moment I look back, the color of amber is like a treasure left in the world, which has been passed down for centuries. There is a touch of sadness and resentment in the expression.

For some reason, at that moment, Ji Bai seemed to understand all the meanings in the eyes of that incomparably beautiful girl.

"Brother Ji Bai? What's wrong with you?" The next moment, the girl turned into a big hand like a bear's paw, blurring in front of her.

"Oh, finally I have a reaction. Before, I was acting like a bastard. I thought it was a demon." The first thing that broke into my eardrums was Huo Lei's rough and harsh voice.

"Sure enough, the environment in this place is really bad. Mr. Ji Bai was even fainted from the smoke--" He covered his mouth and nose with his tail, and his two energetic ears drooped down. Ke'er felt a little hurt. No more.

Turning a deaf ear to the words around him, Ji Bai just stared ahead blankly.

"It's over, it's over. I'm afraid it's been poisoned." Huo Lei was a little distressed and patted the tin can's head, but didn't get any response.

"Why is she missing?" Ji Bai muttered to himself.

"Ah? Why is she missing?" Obviously stunned by Ji Bai's inconsistent words, Huo Lei looked towards Ji Bai's gaze. There was nothing worth mentioning except the Argonians lazily walking on the street. places of special concern.

"Brother Ji Bai, are you confused?" Huo Lei frowned, rubbed his chin and analyzed calmly.

The girl disappeared as soon as she blended into the crowd. "work.

"Girl?" Huo Lei had a strange expression on his face. He looked at Ke'er, who had puffed up his cheeks. He wisely didn't speak.

It turns out it's not that I'm confused, but that I'm moved by my thoughts.

"Girl, what kind of girl? ~Has Mr. Ji Bai fallen in love with any beautiful young lady again? Well, in that case, would it be good for Ke'er to be Mr. Ji Bai's wingman?" Ke'er said with a smile.

"What did you see? Brother Ji Bai, seriously,

I admire you very much. The Argonians and others like you. At least I don't.

Getting into trouble is obviously unwise.

"Argonian girl?" Huo Lei's expression became even stranger. "Brother Ji Bai, what are you talking about? The Yalong people all look the same. You can tell who is a woman without speaking.

"?Aren't there Argonian women whose appearance is not much different from ours? 039

"How is it possible? At least I have never seen Huo Lei quietly approach Ji Bai's ear after looking around.

"The Argonians' aesthetic deformity is very different from ours. In their eyes, we are just a bunch of stupid, ugly people with too much money.

"So you understand, according to genetic theory, there will never be that kind of Argonian woman. Even if there is, according to the Argonian aesthetics, such a woman cannot be married."

Yeah, I got it. "Ji Bai nodded. He wanted to regard the previous adventure as a hallucination caused by being too tired, but the feeling was so real that he couldn't believe it.

"Let me go! Let me go! I'm not crazy. What I said is true. Stop making trouble. I'll die if you put me in that dark room!" A sharp voice cut through the noisy crowd. Street, after the residents on the street were slightly startled, they returned to normal, as if they were used to it.

A ragged Argonian rolled and crawled to the ground. The sharp soldiers ruthlessly picked him up and dragged him back.

"What I said is true! You stupid guys, let me go, I want to escape from this hell place! [Mereus] are really] here, they are all back! They want to enslave us again !'

Most of the Yalongs on the street turned away their eyes and went about their own business. He was avoiding taboos, just like the Attar man who was dragged away by the soldiers and suspected of being crazy mentioned some taboo topics.
