Nobody told me it's not a game

Chapter 227 There is always time for a cup of tea
At dusk, led by Langdon, Zuo Chang and Lizhi arrived at the small town on the top of Qingxi Mountain——

Blood Mist Town.

Zuo Chang stood at the entrance of the town, watching the layout of the town.

It is almost exactly the same as in the game, even the mummy hanging at the gate of the town is exactly the same.

Li Zhi frowned, leaned closer to Zuo Chang, and said, "Zuo Chang... is this place serious?"

Zuo Chang was emotionally stable: "Very serious."

"Then this..."

She raised her hand and pointed to the corpses on the torture rack at the entrance of the town.

Langdon was not surprised, and said, "Miss Lychee, don't be impatient. These people are voluntary."

"what?!"

Lizhi's reaction was extraordinary and natural.

She grinned, and her red lips, which were so charming before, now only looked like cold sarcasm: "Voluntarily hanged? Is Miss Lizhi misheard, or do you not understand the correct meaning of the word 'voluntary'?"

"Look here."

Langdon compared hands, and led Zuo Chang and Lizhi to the hanging mummy.

Below each corpse, there is a wooden sign.

A "Military Order" was posted on each wooden sign.

Depending on the degree of dryness of the corpse, the degree of preservation of the military order is also different.Li Zhi read it carefully and found that these military orders basically have the same format:
[OO hereby promises: If Basil, the 'great sage and supreme teacher', bestows the ancient crystallization, then OO will definitely enter the Five Realms before XX days! 】

[If it doesn't work, three knives and six holes, you will die without regret! 】

[Promisor: OO, Y month Z day in X year. 】

Langdon looked pale, and said, "The two are exorcists, and they should know the value of the 'ancient crystal'. Those who hang here are all voluntarily signed military orders, and received and refined the ancient crystal, but in the end they failed Those who achieve the goal on the agreed date. It is reasonable to execute them, right?"

In fact, it is not very reasonable.

But I don't know how to refute.

Lizhi insisted: "If they made the promise in a sober state, Miss Lizhi doesn't think it's a big deal. Indiscriminate killing is not advisable, and breaking one's own oath is also not advisable. But——why did you hang them up? It shouldn't be difficult to get into the ground and be safe."

"It's purely for the purpose of warning and spurring the latecomers. How can the five realms be so easy?"

Langdon remained expressionless, taking it as normal.

He was about to take Zuo Chang and Lizhi into the town when he suddenly saw a white-haired old man appear.

That is--

"Master Basil? Why are you here?"

Zuo Chang looked around and found that Basil was exactly the same as Li Hui in the game.

He has white hair, looks about six or seventy years old, and there is no kindness on his face.

The wrinkles on his face are like a knife carving, his vigorous body is even taller than a soldier, he is full of evil spirits!
At this moment, he looked up and down at Zuo Chang with his old eyes, full of offense.

Zuo Chang was annoyed by his watching, and couldn't help but said, "What are you looking at?"

Basil sneered, and put his hands behind his back: "Young man, you are quite angry."

"I look at you like that, and you're so angry."

"Misunderstood, I have no malice. I feel a unique temperament from you. You seem to be... good at using swords."

Of course.

A full-level natural sword bone, are you joking with others?
Zuo Chang smiled slightly: "My name is Zuo Chang, and I should not be weaker than you in swordsmanship."

"Try?"

Basil held the hand behind his back and brought it in front of him.

He was actually holding a sword, it was still drawn.

Zuo Chang thought that Basil wanted to fight him, so he was a little interested.

Under the blessing of the god's coat of arms, his cultivation is actually at the eighth level; Basil's cultivation is at the full nineth level.

There are differences in realms, and there must be differences in values.

The opponent is the holder of "My Emblem", and must surpass Zuo Chang in numerical value, but Zuo Chang has an advantage——

He comes from after a thousand years!
With the blessing of thousands of years, what Zuo Chang has learned and heard is not comparable to the old antique Basil.

Can this "age gap" smooth out the numerical difference?
Zuo Chang was very curious about this.

Because, the head of the Gold Digger Knights, the flaxen-haired prince is also from the Nine Realms.

Fighting against people with similar strength to the enemy in advance will help to control the conflict that is likely to break out later.

But what Zuo Chang didn't expect was...

The rebellious Basil didn't intend to fight him. He turned his blade upside down and threw the long sword in his hand.

Zuo Chang raised his hand to catch it.

"Buzz!"

The next moment, the long sword released a magnificent light, the blade trembled endlessly, and the sword sound resounded!
Basil's eyes widened, and he praised: "Sure enough, you are good at swordsmanship! Your Excellency, the sword in your hand is called 'Gaozhi', and it has unique magical powers."

Zuo Chang looked at the sword in his hand: "What supernatural power?"

"Pick up the high and step down, the magical power of flattering the upper and bullying the lower."

"??"

what?
Zuo Chang lowered his head again, staring at the long sword in his hand.

information, appearing shortly:
"High Branch Sword": Attack power 1~1.

Pretending to be a master: Gao Zhijian can make you look like a peerless master.After being excited, in the eyes of others, you will be a handsome swordsman in white clothes.

·Climbing high branches: Gao Zhijian is promiscuous, and is good at red apricots.If you surpass its original owner in swordsmanship, it will immediately serve you as master; if someone more talented in swordsmanship than you holds it, it will leave you immediately. (Current owner: Zuo Chang.)
Flattering: Gao Zhijian is good at studying.It has no benefit in battle, but it knows how to flatter and flatter, so that people can't fault it.

When (Zuo Chang) defeats the enemy, the Gaozhi sword will hover over the battlefield, leaving colorful trails and strange brilliance as a celebration.

When (Zuo Chang) is unable to pay attention to the surrounding environment, so that the danger is approaching without noticing it, the Gaozhi sword will emit strong light and loud noise, and if necessary, it will hit (Zuo Chang) on ​​the head as a reminder.

Mud Legs: Gaozhijian will not cause trouble to its owner.This sword can escape into the void on its own, without its owner even bothering to carry it.If needed, the Tall Sword will emerge from the void, directly at its owner's side.

"..."

This is the...

What sword?

Isn't it said that the sword is the weapon of a gentleman?Why is Gao Zhijian's painting style so unique?

Zuo Chang raised his head and looked at Basil: "Is this a toy?"

"Haha! It can be considered that the Gaozhi Sword is not very useful, it is indeed just a plaything. However, this is also a 'spiritual sword', which is extremely rare! Your Excellency is so skilled that it attracts the spiritual weapon to recognize its owner. Dare to plunder the beauty of others—this sword is for you!"

What is the use?

What is the use of this high branch sword?

Zuo Chang didn't want it at all.

Basil looked at Langdon and asked, "Langdon, are they your new experts? I can tell that both this gentleman and this lady are of a very high standard!"

Langdon hurriedly said, "Lord Basil, Mr. Zuo Chang and Miss Lizhi were not recruited by me. They are friends of the Change Demon."

"impossible!"

Basil waved his hands, and categorically refuted: "Mr. Zuo and Ms. Lizhi are definitely not friends of the Changing Demon. What grade is the Changing Demon? It is not qualified to be friends with these two."

Uh.

Langdon was startled, and turned to look at Zuo Chang.

Zuo Chang responded calmly and avoided answering: "Master Luo, Li Zhi and I came today to inform you that you have evolved with glory, and a catastrophe is imminent!"

"Haha! Your Royal Highness the Prince of the Golden Empire, and a group of unknown masters who inexplicably appeared in Little Mascus, right? My informant has urgently reported these news! An hour ago, the Gold Digger Knights United Two Ten high-level exorcist squads, with a total of more than 120 people, have assembled, and they seem to be attacking me!"

Basil was equally unhurried.

He smiled slightly and said, "The situation is urgent, but there is always time for a cup of tea. Mr. Zuo, please come inside."

　In the update the day before yesterday, there was a typo in one place.At this time, the "Old Golden Empire" should be called the "Empire of Gold".

　　At the time of Zuo Chang, it was the "Old Golden Empire".

　　This kind of insignificant small detail, in fact, just needs to be changed secretly, anyway, most readers will not notice it.

　　The reason why I took the initiative to speak out is mainly to establish a mature and reliable image of the author who is "careful as a needle", "meticulous and thorough", and "sure in mind".

　　How about it, are you overwhelmed by Yamou's rigor?
