Nightmare Card House

Shadow Realm, Adira Chamber of Commerce.

"According to the information received in the past few days, the scope of the desolate land outside the city has begun to gradually shrink. Although there are still many skeletal creatures affected by the desolate land and were detained and reborn by the undead, but in the hiring of mercenaries Under the protection of the mercenary group, the entire business road can be safely passed. As for the ghoul that was rumored some time ago, the mercenary group believed that the ghoul that attacked the caravan was the product of a special mutation. Holding an explanatory report, he continued: "The current danger alert has been lowered to level E, but it is conservatively estimated that it will take three months or even longer to wait until all the desolate lands disappear."

Director Artoli listened carefully to the summary report jointly issued by several mercenary groups, and frowned: "So what is the composition of the desolate land? You want to tell me that this desolate land is just so plain. Appeared there?"

"As for this, the mercenary group has not received any useful information yet, and there is no news from the alchemy workshop."

"What about His Highness Bray? Have they done anything?"

"I haven't received any news. It seems to be unusually peaceful over there."

Damn it! Are these undead spirits really a coincidence within a coincidence? !

Attolia felt extremely twisted.

The calmer Bray acted, the more uneasy Artoli felt.

"But..." the steward said carefully, seeming hesitant.

"But what?"

"But I just heard about something today. I don't know if it has anything to do with these things." After receiving Artoli's affirmative look, the manager felt a little more confident. He raised his voice and said, "I heard about the alchemy workshop. Those apprentices are very interested in runes. His Highness Bray probably thinks that his rune ornaments cannot be sold to the Chamber of Commerce as amulets, so he is going to sell them to the apprentices in the alchemy workshop at a reduced price..."

Artoli opened his mouth. He felt that he had never been so confused as he was today.

amulet? Sold directly to the apprentices in the refining workshop?

Damn it! Bray what exactly does he want to do?

Is it really all just a figment of your imagination? Was that loser really just lucky enough to meet him?

"Ahem, sir." Seeing Artoli's delay in speaking, the manager couldn't help but cough lightly, attracting Artoli's attention. "The recruitment fee for the mercenary group is very expensive. For our Chamber of Commerce, It will be a big expense. Now that the situation has stabilized, can we temporarily stop entrusting mercenary groups, or reduce the number of entrusted mercenary groups? "

Artoli sighed inwardly and waved his hand in annoyance, "Reduce the number of mercenary groups by half. Go ahead and do it."

"Yes, Director Artoli."

…

At the same time, a shabby grocery store near the outer city.

A young girl in a robe walked down the second floor with light steps. Behind her was a cyan wooden staff that was slightly taller than her. It looked a little weird.

"Uncle Takli, he has been in here for several days." The girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with fair skin, but she looked like she had not woken up, her eyes were blurred into slits, and she sat down in front of the counter. He also looked weak when he spoke, "Tell me, he didn't die inside."

"Let me tell you again, it's brother Takri." Takri was half a head taller than the girl. He raised his fists as if in demonstration, his arm muscles bulging. As he spoke, he turned back to look behind the grocery store counter. The old man said, "Hey, Titus, where is the captain? Hasn't he come back yet?"

"No."

Titus raised his head and said something, then continued to lower his head and fiddle with the magic objects in his hands.

"I didn't smell any corpse stench, so he probably wasn't dead." Takli said with some uncertainty.

"Really? But if it's poisoning..."

The two people in the discussion stopped at the same time, and they looked up at the entrance to the second floor.

Fang Tian slowly walked down from the entrance to the second floor, his eyes scanning the faces of the three people on the first floor.

The girl looked at Fang Tian with drowsy eyes, a look of exhaustion on her face.

Takli looked at Fang Tian with a warlike eye and shook his head secretly. This guy was full of flaws. He didn't seem to have experienced any training. He was just an ordinary person.

Could it be that the leader is showing great kindness? Bringing back an ordinary person? This doesn't seem like the leader's style.

Walking downstairs, Fang Tian stopped in front of Titus.

Titus put down the cup in his hand and looked at Fang Tian.

"What's up?"

"Checkout."

"I gave you enough last time. Don't mention anything you see or hear here to outsiders. If nothing happens, you can get out now." The old man waved his hand, lowered his head and focused on the magic props again, carefully Use a silk handkerchief to wipe it.

"Thanks."

Fang Tian left without looking back.

The whole grocery store oozes weirdness.

In fact, Fang Tian was very curious. He was very curious about the old man, the man who saved him, and even more curious about the cub hiding in the room.

Curiosity can be dangerous.

Fang Tian knew very well that he had no time now and had more important things to do.

It's not too late to come back after finishing these things. This grocery store is always in the city anyway.

Until Fang Tian left the grocery store, Takli looked back at Titus strangely and asked, "Old old man, did the leader just let him go when he brought him here?"

Tido didn't even raise his head, but just said: "His accommodation fee is only enough for five days. Will you pay the extra money?"

Takeri shrank his neck, "No, I don't have money."

"Ha, I'm so tired." The girl yawned, and before she knew it, her whole face was pressed against the table, and she fell asleep in a daze.

Leaving the grocery store, Fang Tian glanced around.

There was a grocery store not far from the city gate, which was a bit hidden. At the end of an alley, ordinary people probably wouldn't open a grocery store in such a ghost place.

It seemed more interesting.

Fang Tian secretly memorized the location of the grocery store and turned to the fortress where Bray lived.

Along the way, Fang Tian deliberately went around in the direction of the market and heard a lot of gossip from passers-by.

Many of them were about the main commercial road outside the city.

According to most people, the trade route outside the city has been reopened. The Adila Chamber of Commerce hired a mercenary group to enter the undead wasteland to assist in clearing the undead skeletons. As the skeleton creatures are constantly cleared, the wasteland is constantly decreasing, and the undead fog is also fading. It is expected that this wasteland will disappear completely in half a year at most.

Most of the news here comes from the Adila Chamber of Commerce.

Fang Tian listened to these people's discussions expressionlessly, and wanted to laugh in his heart.

Just relying on clearing the undead skeletons to disperse the wasteland? This is too whimsical.

It seems that people in this world know very little about the undead.
