Chapter 296 Compassionate Voyage, Lesson 3
The magical city of Corelon.
Holding a long spear and dressed in gleaming silver knight's half-armor, the gatekeeper stood meticulously before the gate. Whenever someone passed by, he would raise his hand in salute and greet them warmly in a lively voice:
"Dear passengers, thank you for your hard work! There are no abnormalities today!"
"Speaking of which, there are fewer and fewer people out during the day lately. Could it be because it's too hot?"
However, this time, the security guard's enthusiastic greeting fell flat.
With a whoosh, the two men and one woman who were just at the door suddenly vanished.
The security guard blinked, puzzled, and asked, "Where is he?"
at the same time.
On the streets in the city center.
With the fluctuation of spatial power, the two men and one woman who had disappeared suddenly reappeared.
vomit!
As soon as Sika opened her mouth, she vomited her lunch all over the floor: "Big brother, I think I'm dying."
"How dare you say that? If it weren't for helping you, would I have risked my life like that?"
Chen Feng's face was ashen. Just now, in order to rescue Xiao Mei, who had been kidnapped by slave traders, he used spatial teleportation repeatedly, appearing in a flash to send the three of them to the gate of the Magic City.
Even Chen Feng himself was finding it hard to keep up with these continuous spatial jumps. For example, right now, he could clearly feel that the space-related part of his spacetime divinity was in a violent state and seemed to be temporarily unusable.
"He actually used up his only escape skill before even encountering the enemy. If the Savior finds out about this, he'll definitely cut ties with me."
Chen Feng attempted to repair himself using regression, but just as a doctor cannot heal himself, a regression practitioner cannot use regression to regress their own regression.
[Equipment Enhancement: Girl, could you translate what you just said for me?]
[Daily News: I will dedicate my entire life's learning to studying this text]
Unlike the disheveled state of the two men.
Grey didn't react at all, and even seemed a little hungry: "When is dinner?"
"Little sister, you ate a ten-meter-long giant bear and four horses pulling a cart this afternoon, aren't you full yet?"
Sika looked at Chen Feng speechlessly. Although she didn't say anything, the meaning in her eyes was very clear:
Do you really have to bring this rice bucket with you?
Indeed, Gray is very strong, and Sika admits that, but the fact that she can only unleash her dragon breath once and then has to keep eating like crazy is too cumbersome.
Chen Feng said he didn't want to bring the disposable firecracker either, mainly because he was afraid that if they walked for too long, Grey would get extremely hungry and scare the villagers.
"Then let's bring it along," Sika immediately conceded.
Grey grumbled, dissatisfied. "My dad told me that even if he starved to death, he wouldn't eat people."
"Okay, okay, Leilei is the best girl."
Chen Feng stroked Grey's head and began to observe the surroundings.
Just like the fantasy world in anime and movies, you can often see knights in armor and archers carrying bows and arrows. Of course, most of the people here are mages in long robes and holding staffs, after all, this is one of the most prosperous cities in the magic kingdom.
The local city lord, Raven IV, is the number one space mage in the Magic Kingdom, as can be seen from the towering space mage tower in the city.
When we were playing the Egg Slaughter Party with the mercenaries before, the mercenary leader said that after the butler used the teleportation scroll, he would be teleported to the mage tower. So if you want to find Xiaomei, it is best to start by looking for her in the slave market near the mage tower.
Sika pointed at the tower and said anxiously, "Let's go quickly."
However, before they could even set off, they were stopped by a time traveler: "Excuse me, could you tell me where I can find a job washing dishes?"
Chen Feng looked up and saw a man in his forties who was asking him questions. He had dark circles under his eyes, messy hair, and a fierce-looking face, but spoke with unusual gentleness.
The reason they were called time travelers was because of their suit, tie, and the supermarket plastic bag they were carrying.
Oh, and it even has a green environmental protection label.
Chen Feng could smell the cigarette smoke on the other person, so he asked, "Just transmigrated?"
The middle-aged man introduced himself: "My name is Sasaki, and I'm a lawyer. Some time ago, I watched an anime."
Chen Feng asked curiously, "What does watching anime have to do with time travel?"
"This needs to be explained from the beginning: Do you smoke or not?"
"Won't."
"Then I'll light one up first."
Sasaki took a deep breath and began to recount his past: "I'm over forty years old and still don't have a girlfriend. Today I filed for divorce. I dominated the courtroom, and I just won over the car and the house. Then my employer said he still loves her and is dropping the case."
Should teammates surrender when the team is winning?
That's really upsetting.
Chen Feng asked, "And then?"
Sasaki said he wished he could request that his client be shot dead in court: "To relax, I went home and watched anime, haha, don't let my age fool you, I'm still a fan of anime."
Sika, eager to save the person, couldn't wait any longer: "Can you get to the point?"
"I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush."
Sasaki said, "I saw an anime where an older man like me was shopping at a supermarket and met a really beautiful young female smoker. So I wanted to try it too. I bought some things and just came out of the main entrance when I blinked and I was here."
I understand where the problem lies.
Chen Feng told Sasaki, "You're from Earth, right? I've seen that anime too. The pretty girl was smoking at the back door, and you insisted on going through the front door, carrying a shopping bag. If you didn't time travel, who would?"
Sasaki suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."
Chen Feng asked the other person, "Have you received any strange or wonderful blessings? Never mind, I'll see for myself."
Appraisal!
Sasaki
[Level: 1]
[Attributes: Strength 1, Agility 1, Stamina 1, Intelligence 10, Vitality 1, Luck 1]
[Executioner's Blessing: Use your sword to pronounce judgment on a heinous enemy; the more serious the crime, the higher the damage multiplier.]
Strength, physical fitness, agility, and energy are all at their lowest levels; no wonder he has dark circles under his eyes and looks like he's about to die suddenly.
As for Jiahu, in this world where transmigrators are everywhere, he's just an ordinary person. If left unattended, he'll probably be killed very soon.
Chen Feng invited the other party to go and rescue the person together.
Upon hearing their story, Sasaki was filled with righteous indignation: "Trafficking women in broad daylight! A crime! A crime!"
On the way to the Mage Tower.
Sasaki complained, "I discovered three problems as soon as I transmigrated."
"first."
Sasaki lifted his foot, which was covered in excrement. "There are so many earth dragons, chimeras, griffins, and pegasi here, and they all pooped on the ground. It's really dirty, you know?"
"Secondly, the most popular thing right now is soul-swapping, so why am I wearing a body?"
"Thirdly, since this is a world of swords and magic, why didn't the god who sent me to this world give me a sword?"
Sika explained, "Due to interference from the law, neither the goddesses of heaven nor the archangels of paradise can choose one cheat ability when sending someone through time."
Sasaki expressed his confusion: "Then please tell me, without a sword, how can I use the Executioner's Protection? It's like practicing the Dog-Beating Stick Technique; without the stick, how can I beat a dog? If I go to the restroom to relieve myself, and you don't give me chopsticks, how can I eat?"
Ok?
Sika felt uneasy upon hearing this, so she handed the longsword in her hand to Sasaki: "This is the best sword in the village, uncle, you can take it and use it for now."
And this time.
Chen Feng suddenly stopped and said seriously, "There's a problem."
Huh? What's wrong?
Sika shrank back and quickly asked, "How come I didn't notice?"
Chen Feng pointed to the street: "Have you noticed that as it gets darker, there are more and more pedestrians on the street? What does that mean?"
Sika didn't understand: "So it means everyone likes to go for walks at night?"
"It's obvious you lack experience in being tricked," Chen Feng said, looking at his underling with exasperation. "Something's definitely up to no good. The security guard just said there are fewer and fewer people during the day, but so many at night. Don't you think that makes sense?"
"What's unreasonable about that?" Sika still didn't understand. "Big brother, it's not the Sun Festival today, so of course there aren't that many people during the day."
The Sun Festival is a holiday established to commemorate the birth of the Sun King. It is held at noon on June 21st each year, which is the day with the longest daylight.
Sigh, I was still too young.
Chen Feng began the manual identification technique.
Seeing this, Sika couldn't help but stop him, saying, "Big brother, have you forgotten? Using the Appraisal spell is extremely impolite!"
Indeed, when the identification spell takes effect, the other party will receive a notification that someone used the identification spell on you.
However, Chen Feng doesn't have spatial teleportation or time stop, so he could easily discard the appraisal spell and run away.
Authentication! Authentication! Authentication!
[Level 7 Bard (Already drunk)]
[Level 13 Paladin (swore never to take flight, oath broken)]
"We've found the reason."
Chen Feng led the three into a narrow alley paved with stone slabs and shared the identification data they had just obtained.
"See? This is what you meant by 'it's okay'."
The Vampire Baron
[Level: 20]
[Skills: Embrace, Vampirism, Blood Release, Flight, etc.]
[Racial Trait 1: Can convert creatures of a lower level than yourself into vampires]
[Racial Trait 2: Takes damage to health in sunlight, all attributes are doubled at night]
Sika thought it was making a fuss: "It's just a vampire, right? In such a big city, it's normal for vampires, dark elves, and mimics to sneak in."
Chen Feng corrected, "It's not that vampires have infiltrated the city, it's that we've infiltrated the vampire city."
Sasaki, being from the same hometown, immediately understood: "Dude, you're talking about the cockroach effect, right? When you see one cockroach in a room, there are actually countless cockroaches hiding there."
The lawyer is indeed cultured.
Chen Feng nodded: "Three appraisal spells are enough to find a vampire, and that's before nightfall. Just imagine how many vampires there are in this city!"
"what?"
Sika was filled with dread, but then she was puzzled: "With so many of them, why don't they just take over the cities?"
Chen Feng squinted and said, "From what I understand, they're probably fishing."
Sika asked疑惑地问道, "Fishing? What do you mean?"
Chen Feng covered his forehead and said, "With your skill level, you wouldn't even last a day in Cihang. From today onwards, don't call me 'Big Brother' anymore, call me 'Master,' and I'll teach you how to scheme against people step by step."
"oh!"
Sika nodded blankly, then asked, "Master, you just identified a vampire, aren't you afraid he'll find out?"
Chen Feng pointed to the bloodstains on the ground and said irritably, "It was dealt with a long time ago. Do you think I'm as stupid as you?"
at the same time.
The Adventurers' Guild in the city.
The aroma of food and wine wafted through the air. As the only official organization that issues bounty missions, this place attracted a large number of adventurers, so the owner opened a bar inside to make more money.
Whether they are adventurers from the nearby area or travelers from other worlds, they cannot do without this place.
On the sign in front of the guild, there was this notice:
"The Countess's nephew was killed by three heroic goblins. If anyone can kill those three goblins, please come to claim the bounty immediately. The reward is a sword, a fief, and five hundred gold."
The adventurers were buzzing with discussion:
"Goblins? Aren't they the weakest monsters? The Countess has gone mad; is it really necessary to give them so much money?"
"You're talking about ordinary goblins; hero goblins are level 50."
"A goblin only gets one attribute point for every five levels it gains, so level fifty is about the same as level ten for us. What's so scary about that?"
"That's true. I wonder who's so lucky to win this big prize."
In the days since the sign was posted, many adventurers have tried to claim the reward by presenting various goblin heads, but they were exposed by the Adventurers' Guild.
"I really am the one who killed the goblins, and your Raven family can't go back on their word!"
Sure enough, another grumbling thief was kicked out the door.
At this moment, in the Adventurers' Guild office.
The Raven family's butler asked, "My lord, if we wait here, will we really be able to find the hero our ancestor is looking for?"
From the shadows, a somber voice rang out: "It's His Majesty the Duke."
The words fell.
With a snap, the butler's head fell to the ground.
"Yes, I'm sorry!"
Realizing he had misspoke, the butler fumbled to pick up his head and put it back in place.
"Fine, I'll let you off this time since you went out in the sun to retrieve the necklace for me." The Duke placed the yew necklace on the table. "You did a good job. I can help you get promoted."
"Thank you, Your Grace!"
Just as the butler was expressing his gratitude, his eyebrows suddenly furrowed.
The Duke asked, "What's wrong?"
The steward looked outside: "One of my family members has been killed."
The Duke waved his hand: "We've been discovered, haven't we? Same as usual, use psychic magic to see what's going on."
In this universe, if a living being dies and is not resurrected in time, its soul will separate from its body and leave the material plane.
Demons and monsters will travel to the Warp, Hell, and Abyss based on their origins. Transmigrators will be sent back to their own universes, while the local natives, if they have faith, will go to the kingdoms of their gods.
Of course, the prerequisite is that you are good enough to be accepted by God.
If one is not good enough, or has no faith, one will lose all memories and be reincarnated.
Since the vampire has just been killed and his memories haven't faded, you can use necromancy to summon his soul, find out who the killer is, and kill him before he dies.
The Duke used this method to almost conquer the entire city without anyone noticing.
This time, however, he encountered a master among masters: "Hmm? The soul has vanished???"
at this time.
Chen Feng began to teach Xika Cihang the third lesson: "Finishing blows. In Cihang City, it's not enough to just kill the body; you must completely destroy the soul to prevent the enemy from reviving halfway through."
