[Transmigration Book] Blackening Paladin

After entering Fork City, Thor's tense spirit was obviously relaxed a bit, and with his brisk pace, he could feel that he was in a good mood.

Thor took Jian Lu to walk in Fork City. His legs were short and he didn't walk fast. Along the way, Jian Lu could better observe the environment and structure of Fork City.In addition, Jian Lu, who was wearing a black cloak, walked with him, and the disparity in height between the two also attracted the attention of the residents of Fork City.

Wearing a black cloak, half covering his face, and obviously taller than others, he is very attractive.It might have gotten a lot more attention if it wasn't for Thor leading the way.

However, it was just attention, and nothing else was caused.

"Thor, you're finally back." A man with reddish-brown skin and the same animal pattern on his face greeted Thor, "You've been away all day, and Leia will be so worried that we'll go out of town to find you .”

"Jeffers, I'm fine." Thor obviously didn't want to say more, just smiled.

The man named Jeffers smiled heartily, but when he looked at the person walking behind Thor, there was no smile in his eyes. Instead, he was a little vigilant and asked casually: "Thor, what's the matter?" Is it your friend? He is so tall!" He said in an exclamation tone, with some meaning in his eyes.

"Yeah, I met in the wilderness, he saved me."

Jeffers' eyes changed slightly, he said a few words to Thor, because it was getting late and it was already dinner time, the two said goodbye to each other and left.

Thor took Jian Lu through several streets, and the alleys he walked became narrower and more dirty, and there was an unpleasant smell in the air, but Thor looked natural, as it should be.Until a more cramped alley, finally arrived at the destination.

"This is where our third-class residents live. Please make it easy." Thor explained to Jian Lu in a low voice. In his heart, he regarded Jian Lu as a purely human magician from the legendary mainland. He didn't speak, and his heart was in suspense. Thinking of the fate of those races from the legendary continent after arriving here, his mood was a bit complicated.

It's almost evening, but there is no sun in this place, and naturally there is no such thing as a sunset. The light in the cramped alley is a little dim, and some half-naked children can be vaguely seen chasing and playing there, running past them When he is around, he will greet Thor sweetly, and then look at him with curious eyes.

In addition to being curious, the child's eyes were also slightly wary.

The wide hood covered his face, revealing a straight nose and graceful but pale lips. The clean and beautiful jaw exuded a cold taste, perhaps because his skin was too pale, but it was shocking I lived with those people for a while, so when I came all the way, although some people were curious about Jian Lu's identity, they didn't rush over to investigate.

Although people dressed like Jian Lu are mysterious, they are not uncommon in Falk City, so while everyone was vigilant, they didn't pay too much attention.

Thor brought Jian Lu to a narrow stone house deep in the alley. With Jian Lu's height, he had to bend slightly when entering.Walking along this road, Jian Lu noticed that most of the humans on the street were short in stature. Although there were some who were of the same height as him, there were not many of them. It was obvious that the area where they were active was not here.

He heard the words "third-class resident" from Thor's repeated pronunciation, and couldn't help wondering what it meant. Could it be that the third-class resident refers to a race like Thor with strange skin color and a height similar to a dwarf?What about second-class residents and first-class residents?

"Thor, are you back?"

A feeble voice sounded in the room. The room was very dark, only a small oil lamp was lit. Under the lamp sat a wheat-colored woman, about 40 years old. She was blind in one eye, but her expression was strange. Very peaceful and natural.Introduced by Thor, this is his mother Leia.

Jian Lu made a mage salute to the woman.

"Are you Thor's friend?" Leia couldn't see in one eye, and the other eye was also a little cloudy, and she could only vaguely see the tall and tall shadow of Thor under the light.Knowing that Jian Lu was her son's savior, Leia was very enthusiastic and hurriedly asked her son to entertain his friends well, and at the same time took out the food stored at home to entertain him.

Jian Lu looked at the boiled worm meat in the bowl, the taste was debatable, and silently glanced at Thor.

With just a glance, Jian Lu guessed about the situation of this small family. Perhaps the living standards of the third-class residents in Fork City are not high, and it can even be said that they are struggling on the line of food and clothing.Their staple food is the meat of the demonic insects hunted outside the city. The demonic core of the demonic insects can be used as a common currency and weapon energy.

Leia took out worm meat to entertain him, which is already a standard for treating distinguished guests.

It's just that Jian Lu lost his appetite when he thought of the weird monster insects he encountered along the way.

Thor didn't know how he saw the meaning of this cold human magician, but at that moment, he understood what this man meant, and he didn't like the meat of devil insects, so he quickly picked up a bowl of insect meat on the table , took Jian Lu into a room.

"This is my room, your Excellency can rest here." Thor said.

There are only two rooms in this stone house, which was originally shared by Thor and his mother Leia. Now because of Jian Lu's reasons, Thor gave up his room to Jian Lu, and he went to his mother's room to sleep. floor covering.

The room was very small, except for a bed and a small cabinet, there were a lot of miscellaneous things piled up on the floor.Thor looked at the human magician who pulled down his hood. His handsome and cold appearance was incompatible with the small and dirty place, which made the young man blush a little.

"Thank you."

The voice was heard by Thor, although it was a little cold, but the tone was completely different from theirs, and there was a smooth melody in the tone.The first thought in Thor's mind was that he was not a mute.Secondly, he really came from the mainland, so he can speak a fluent common language. It is said that this kind of fluent common language is only circulated among the nobles in the central city.

Jian Lu glanced at Thor, and from his reaction, he seemed not surprised by his language.

After Thor went out, Jian Lu sat on the only clean bed in the room and began to think about this strange place and what he was about to do.

There is no doubt that he must find Hines first, and then find a way to leave this place and return to the Olaven continent.

What he saw during the half-month solo travel made Jian Lu speculate that they might have been transported to a different space during the distorted orbital teleportation, and had already left the Oravian Continent.Until seeing Thor, what he saw and heard after coming to Fork City confirmed his guess.

When he came out of the space teleportation channel, Jian Lu was tied to Haines, and Haines should also be in this different space continent. As for why the two were separated, it may be that there was some kind of teleportation in the place where they were at that time. The battle, or a natural disaster, swept him to that desert or something.

As long as she knew that Hines was also in this space, Jian Lu would feel at ease.

Just as he was thinking, his throat suddenly felt itchy, and he couldn't help covering his mouth and coughing a few times. His throat was sweet, and he coughed up a mouthful of black and red blood.Looking at the blood on the palm of his hand, Jian Lu had a premonition that there was a harmful substance floating in the air in this place. When he came to this world, his body happened to be severely injured, and that harmful substance eroded his body. It made his body not only unable to recover, but gradually aggravated.

It was also because of this that he fell ill so easily after being exposed to the heavy rain for half a day, and it was difficult for him to recover after being ill for several days.

He had a hunch that if he couldn't leave this place, his body would continue to deteriorate.

Thinking of this, Jian Lu sighed again, and he really wanted to find Hines as soon as possible and leave this unknown space.

In the middle of the night, Jian Lu woke up from his meditation. First, he felt a vibration from the ground, and then a sharp siren sounded in the city.He jumped up, pushed open the door, and saw Thor also rushing out from the next room, while putting on his clothes, although he was busy, he didn't look messy, apparently he was used to this situation.

When he saw Jian Lu walking out, he was a little surprised, surprised at the vigilance of this human magician.

However, it was also the first time for him to come into contact with a human magician from the Legendary Continent. Others were just listening to legends. It was not too strange not to know what this kind of human magician was like.

"Your Excellency, it's the monsters attacking the city." Thor picked up the sword on the wall and hung it on his body, explaining to Jian Lu, "The monsters attack the city every few days, just beat them back, Falk City The city walls are strong, don't worry."

Jian Lu did not speak, but carefully identified his accent and the meaning of his words.

Leia came out of the room and said worriedly: "Thor, be careful."

"Don't worry, Leia, I will be careful. I can bring back our food for a few days tomorrow." Thor said, and ran out.

Jian Lu pulled up his hood and followed him out.

There was no moonlight outside, and the surroundings were dark. Apart from the sound of fighting in the distance, there were also many human footsteps running. There was a tense atmosphere in the air, and everyone's heartstrings were in this atmosphere. Very tense.Although Thor and Jian Lu explained it easily, his reaction was not easy.

After leaving the alley, you can see the magic lamp hanging on the city wall, and the light will illuminate the surroundings.

On the road, soldiers with magic swords were yelling, telling the residents who ran out to fight against the city wall.Under the yelling of the soldiers, the third-class residents also consciously climbed up the city wall. Everything was orderly, as natural as having experienced it thousands of times.

Jian Lu was mixed among the third-class residents, and due to the tense atmosphere, he didn't attract any attention. Even if he noticed, it was because the situation was urgent and no one would investigate.He went to the city wall with Thor and the Jackfer whom he met during the day. When he saw the scene under the city wall, Jian Lu was a little surprised because he had seen a lot.

On the dark desert, countless red eyes lit up. These are the compound eyes of demonic insects, teaching people to see more clearly in the dark.Under the light of the city wall, you can also see the monsters crawling along the wall to the city wall. When they climbed up, they were killed by the guards there.

Except for the soldiers who specialize in guarding the city, the third-class residents with different skin colors and animal patterns on their faces are still very tough. They obviously deal with these monster insects from time to time and know the weaknesses of various varieties of monster insects. The weapon can easily stab the weak point of the monster and kill it.

Jian Lu was watching this contest between humans and monster insects, when he suddenly felt an unusual fluctuation, and looked at the dark place in the desert, there seemed to be a dangerous thing lurking there, which made his heart feel A dangerous shudder.

Slightly trembling in his heart, Jian Lu finally realized the danger of this desert, and he couldn't help but feel a little thankful that during the half-month walking alone in the desert, except for some all-pervasive magic insects, he didn't encounter any major crisis, so that he could not escape. He can walk here safely and enter the human city.

Jian Lu's spirit was stretched to the extreme, the unknown creature whose mental power had been locked in the darkness, and the constant vibrations from under the city made it difficult for him to tell whether it was caused by the monster siege insects, or the monsters from far away. Get rid of the dangerous creatures lurking in the dark.

Jian Lu opened the system map, and the dense red dots made one's scalp tingle. The three-dimensional system map also showed the red dot lurking underground. Because there was no label, he was not sure whether the red dot was a magic insect. The King Worm.

Fortunately, when the battle lasted until dawn, the sense of danger that made his skin tremble gradually receded, and he did not launch an attack.And the battle on the city wall was coming to an end. Those monsters were dying and fleeing. There were corpses piled up on the ground at the foot of the city wall. A strong fishy smell wafted in the air, making people sick.

But everyone didn't feel uncomfortable, but they were very excited to see the insect corpses on the ground.

Jeffoke spat rudely, and said to the people around him: "The number of monsters attacking the city tonight is the largest in the past few months. Are these monsters crazy?" Something is not normal.

"What's the matter? With so many insect corpses, as long as we can get some of them, we won't have to go hunting in the city for half a month." His companion said nonchalantly.

Thor is also very happy, "I found that some of these monster worms taste very good. Leia has a bad appetite recently, and she needs to replenish. I will exchange some with you later."

"Row."

A group of people chatted while finishing the remaining monster insects. Judging from their exhausted and excited expressions, it can be seen that they are extremely happy about this, and they all look forward to the harvest after the war.

Until the sky lightened slightly and the demonic insects under the wall receded one after another, some soldiers finally opened the city gate and organized people to carry the corpses of the demonic insects piled under the city wall into the city. Everyone who participated in the battle had a share, and There is a set of standards, no one is arguing and snatching, this should also have something to do with the group of soldiers guarding there.

Jian Lu stood in an inconspicuous corner, his eyes swept over the mountain-like piles of monster insects in the open space, each pile of monster corpses was guarded by special soldiers, and the third-class residents who participated in the battle were assigned the corpses and Insect nuclei.And those soldiers are obviously different from the third-class residents. Although they also have animal patterns on their faces, the shape of the animal patterns is more graceful and smooth, and their skin color is closer to that of humans, instead of being colorful like Thor.

These soldiers should be the so-called "second class residents".

What about first-class residents?Is it closer to the appearance of a pure human?

And above the first-class residents, are there nobles?The nobles should have more resources and weapons in order to rule these first-, second-, and third-class residents.

Jian Lu silently analyzed until Thor received his portion of the magic worm, and returned to Thor's home with him.

****

In the center of Fork City, in the depths of the main hall where the City Lord's Mansion is located, the sorcerer who was divination suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. It is extremely harmful to his body.

"Your Excellency Amitel!" The tall man next to him exclaimed.

The sorcerer called "Amitel" seemed to be a few years older, with eyes half-drooped with deep bags under his eyes, one hand was placed on the divination stone on the ground, and a look of horror gradually appeared on his sluggish face , as if seeing something extremely terrifying.

The lord of Fork City, Frian, picked up the potion next to him, served the wizard to take the potion himself, and looked at him worriedly.

The shaman sat with his eyes closed for a while, then opened his eyes after a while, looked at the tall man in front of him, and sighed heavily.

"Your Excellency Amitel, what's the matter? Is it related to the sudden siege of the demonic insects last night?" Frian asked a little puzzled. Although the demonic insects came suddenly last night, this kind of situation has often happened in the past. , In the end, there is no danger, no matter the residents of the city, or they, they are all used to it.

Therefore, he didn't quite understand why when it was almost dawn, the wizard who had been living in the deep part of the hall suddenly called him over, and then started divination, and finally got hurt because of the backlash.

The sorcerer nodded, with a somewhat desolate voice, "Frian, I don't know if this is God's will, or if God has abandoned us again." The sorcerer's eyes fell outside the hall, as if piercing through the heavy The gate of the temple looked towards the perennially gloomy sky above Fork City.

Frian didn't say a word, he was too young, he had been living here since he was born, until he became the lord of Fork City, managed this not too powerful city, and withstood the pressure from the magic insects and the same kind , regard it as his own duty, and do not feel the sorrow of the witch.

"Frian, the monster worm attacked the city last night. I felt a huge danger. It should be a king worm that came out of the magic forest. Fortunately, the king worm didn't make a move at that time, otherwise Fork City would become a piece of land. Useless."

"Impossible?" Frian was also a little horrified, obviously not convinced, "The movement trajectories of the demon worms have always been traceable, and the king worms have always lived in the remote magic forest. They have abundant food and resources. , look down on human settlements, and will not leave the Demon Forest." After thinking for a while, Frian continued: "The Demon Forest where the central main city is located is not only coveted by demon insects, but also by the Thakto people." The tiger's eyes are long, but the environment in Free City is too harsh, the resources are not rich, and no Thakto people want to attack it."

The sorcerer half closed his eyes, listening to the city lord's words, and when he finished speaking, the sorcerer shook his head.

"Frian, half a month ago, I sensed from divination that a powerful force that does not belong to the Lost Land appeared without warning." The wizard said slowly, "Presumably the great witch in the central city should also have It was correct, but the powerful force has not been released since then, and its existence cannot be predicted, so this matter was not revealed."

The witch said, and sighed again, "For the past half a month, it has been dormant. Although we don't know what it is, since it didn't move, we all thought it was safe for the time being. Until last night, the magic insect The siege, as well as the power of the insect king who was peeping in the dark, made me feel the horror of that power."

"The insect kings of the monster insects have been living in the magic forest. The magic forest has the power they rely on to survive, which makes them unable to escape. If they leave the magic forest, it will have a fatal blow to their strength and lifespan. , This is also what the gods set up for the balance of this continent. But now, the king worms in the magic forest have abandoned their living place and power, and walked into the desert, do you know why?"

Frian had a bad premonition in his heart, and subconsciously asked, "Why?"

"Naturally, it was the mysterious and powerful existence from outside this continent that broke the balance set by the gods and forced the kings and insects to dare not stay in the magic forest anymore." Desolate and sad, "This time, not only was I unable to do divination, but I even suffered backlash. It can be seen that the existence of that thing is strong enough to interfere with divination."

Frian's scalp was numb, and he swallowed his saliva, "Sorcerer, you mean that there may be another force in this world, which is even enough to break the existing pattern of the Lost Land and reshuffle the entire Lost Land. ?”

"No, it could be worse," said the wizard softly.

Frian's expression changed a few times, and he asked again: "Wizard, can the central main city find out this powerful existence in advance and use it for us? Can this avoid..."

The witch smiled slightly, as if laughing at his innocence and childishness, but instead of hitting him, he said, "You don't have to worry too much. In fact, what you need to worry about is the main city in the central area. resources, we also have to worry about the threat from the Demon Forest.”

As he spoke, he moved a piece of divination stone in his hand, and said thoughtfully: "Perhaps, everything is still to be discussed..."
