Lord of War

Chapter 855 Killer

[Thank you for the monthly ticket support of Brother Xiang and full-time angels!!]

The feeling of hostility did not disappear until the black lord led them into a hotel, which made Alice and others breathe a sigh of relief. After all, you are in a place with a population of nearly 10,000 and almost everyone is hostile to you. This kind of mental pressure is uncomfortable. The hotel that the black prince led them to live in is called "Dark Night", which is one of the "industry" in Haqara.

The hotel is mainly used to entertain the film family and members of several vassal clans. Like several other powerful clans, similar hotels and bars are opened in Hakalari. These places are not only the foothold of the members of their clan coming to Hakala, but also the pattern of the division of the revolutionary forces. Like this hotel "Dark Night", with it as the center, almost the whole block is the sphere of influence of the film clan.

All the people who live in this neighborhood are vassals of the shadow clan, and it is much safer for them to live here.

"We will live here today, and I will take you to the Holy Mountain tomorrow." Hei Xiao said to Zero and looked at other people: "As for you, stay here temporarily while Zero leaves. Don't worry, it's safe here if you don't move around at will.

The black tyran called a Sand people. The people of the Sand clan are very short, just like midgets in the magical world. But they are smart, good at management, and have a talent in making tools. Most of the craftsmen in Hakara are Sands. The Sand clan is attached to the shadow clan and pays certain materials to the shadow clan every year for protection, which is also the way of survival adopted by many small and medium-sized clans on the black land.

The Sandman in front of him is called Hagen. At first glance, he thought he was a human child in his teens, but his face had already wrinkled like the bark of an ancient tree in the forest of twilight. He rubbed his hands and chattered, "It's really our honor for you to come, Lord Black, but I'm afraid these human guests are not very popular with us. Hagen can only arrange a few hidden rooms for them, but you have to tell them not to walk around. Recently, those greedy Codias have been wandering around, and there are also many lazy vagrants who are also headaches. Hagen wants to send more guards, but..."

"All's done." With the depth of the black xiao, it seems that he can't stand the talk of this Sandman. He interrupted Hagen and said, "Arrange a room for my friends first. As for the rest, I will ask Jess to come to you. Talk to him."

"Thank you very much." Hagen's old face showed a bright smile, and then shouted to the depths of the hotel: "Damn Pound, where is this fat pig? Come out and help greet the guests. With so many guests, do you want Old Hagen to die? My legs are so short and the damn stairs are so high. Next time I redecorate, I will lower them all!"

Zero looked at the black xiao, who spread out his hands and made a helpless expression.

Next, they are assigned to a room. The pattern of the night hotel is like a horseshoe. The lobby is located in the middle, with high walls and guards on both sides. Of course, the door is open during the day, in case of an attack. Once the gate is closed, coupled with a five-meter-high outer wall, it is enough to resist the attack. In fact, most buildings in Hakala have similar functions, so that buildings such as the Night Hotel can be transformed into a small fortress during the war.

Zero's rooms are arranged facing the inside of the hotel for hidden reasons, so that it is difficult for people outside the block to find them. In contrast, the environment of the room is naturally not as good as those facing the block. At least in terms of vision, the latter is much better than zero these rooms.

The zero-point room is the best, with a living room and a separate bedroom, and a small balcony. There is a chair and a low table on the balcony, and it is also a pleasure to sit on the balcony and drink at night.

In the evening, everyone came to the restaurant for dinner. As for those blade hunters, they naturally did not follow the city. Instead, they left Zero outside the city. They can hunt some mute beasts by themselves to satisfy their hunger, but they are not afraid to starve them.

Dinner is very rich, but a table of dishes is mostly full of fruits and vegetables. There are only a few plates of barbecue, and the appearance is not good. It can be seen that the hotel chef is not so good at cooking meat. Hei Xiao explained, "Sander's recipes are mainly wild vegetables and fruits, so there is not much meat in the hotel, and the chef is not good at this aspect. You can just eat it."

I tasted the purple-green vegetables with seasonings similar to salad dressing, which tasted sweet and sour. Moreover, there is a lot of water in these vegetables, and the juice has a taste similar to honey, rich in fiber and various nutrients needed by the human body. The taste is not so bad. Besides, people have eaten too much barbecue on the journey, and now it's good to change to a lighter taste.

The black xiao ate very little, and basically only took a few mouthfuls of vegetables to show that he had eaten well. He said to Zero, "Go to bed early and we will leave early tomorrow morning. Your injury?"

Zero moved his arm cut by Albert and smiled, "It doesn't matter."

"That's good." Hei Xiao stood up, said "casual" to others, and then went back to his room first.

A meal has been eaten for nearly an hour, and the kitchen of the hotel has to be served continuously, which makes Old Hagen complain that such human beings can eat too much. The sad face made people laugh. After dinner, Leah said she wanted to live with Moni. Zero has no problem. Moni's injury has recovered. If anything happens, she can also protect Leah and not worry about herself.

Back to my room, I saw two bottles of Sandman's own wine on the entry table. Below is a note with the word "gift" written in crooked human language. Ling smiled, took a shower first, and then came to the small balcony with two bottles of wine. Unscrew the cap of the bottle, and there will be a faint smell of wine. Take a sip of the wine. The wine is sweet in the mouth, but the wine is strong, which surprised him.

He can roughly taste that it is brewed with some kind of fruit, but he doesn't know what other formula is added to this cider. That's very strong. If ordinary people drink a few sips, they have to lie down. Zero feels very novel. You should know that when it comes to a strong person like him, alcohol has almost the same effect on them as boiled water. As far as I know, Asgatri has some * special drinks for high-level, and even psychotropic drugs are added to make high-level people feel drunk.

And those special drinks are enough for an ordinary family to live a full year in Asgatry.

Zero rarely drinks, even less wine that can make him feel drunk. He won't leave until tomorrow, but he doesn't mind getting drunk alone tonight. After a few more sips, I felt slightly drunk. This feeling is really novel and wonderful. Wine seems to be able to circulate between different races like music. And drunkenness will remind people of things that they didn't expect or dare not think about.

Just like now, this slightly drunken feeling made him open the valve of memory, think of what happened in the western continent, and miss Cedra even more. Unconsciously, he has been away from the continent for several months and doesn't know where Cidella is now. Judging from the reproductive cycle of human beings in the new era, if Clera wanted to, she could even give birth to a new life.

I don't know whether the crystal between me and her is a clever boy or a lovely girl? Thinking about it, Zero even outlined the child's image in his mind. That's the image based on the combination of his and Cedra's appearance. In terms of zero current main brain computing power, such a picture is almost the same as reality.

When imagining his child, Zero's mouth couldn't help but smile.

When he picked up the bottle and planned to take another sip, there was a warning in his heart. He rushed forward, and the wooden chair he was sitting on just now was smashed by a sudden arrow! The arrow's remaining strength was lost, and it still plunged into the wall, and the arrow feathers in the tail swayed. Zero did not stop, and a roll had arrived in the bedroom. When he looked outside the balcony again, his eyes were awe-inspiring, and he didn't look drunk.

The power suddenly appeared behind him, and then there was a continuous crackling sound from the ceiling. A tall figure followed the spilled marsh wood chips to zero** and directly pressed his bed. Then he roared and ran forward, and the killer held a knife and axe in his hands and staggered to cut his head to zero.

With a muffled hum, a thin golden flame erupted from his eyes. He did not change his posture, slipped back quickly and crashed directly into the man's arms. Then the fists flew, and the dull roar unique to the reloaded warhead kept ringing in this small bedroom. Like a stormy wave, the person who sneaked on him had no counterattack.

A heavy punch was punched on the opponent's abdomen, and the reloaded warhead showed a random secondary implosion effect. In the sound of the thunderstorm, a wave of blood rushed out from behind the man, splashing the whole wall with bones and fragments of some internal organs. The other party was hit hard and finally fell down, but died. Only then did Ling see that the alien who attacked him was covered with gray hair, but his chest had black hair that naturally formed an "X" pattern.

This is like an ape, and when he heard the movement here, the black xiao was the first to break into the house. When he saw the killer killed by Zero, the elder of the shadow clan said, "What's going on?"

At the end of the speech, Zero suddenly made a displacement, allowing a powerful arrow shot in from the window to nail straight to the wall. Then several arrows chased Zero fiercely. Zero and the black xiao retreated to the living room and looked at the rows of arrows nailed into the bedroom floor.

Alice and others also came one after another. Jin lined up the crowd and said to Zero, "Ye Liu went to greet the archer."

Nod, he was very relieved by Ye Liu. Sure enough, in about ten minutes. Ye Liu came back and caught a man. That's also a foreigner, tall and thin, with a pale face. It seemed that she was knocked unconscious by Ye Liu. The girl threw him to the ground, quickly found a chair and tied him tightly. The black xiao moved his hands and released a dark energy jet from his fingertips.

He hit the energy jet into the man's chest. The man shook like an electric shock, but woke up with electricity when he opened his eyes.

The black xiao said, "Who are you? Why did you do this?"

The archer spit out a mouthful of blood and phlegm at the black xiao and sneered, "Don't want to know anything from me, noble shadow elder!"

Is that right? It seems that I have to use some means." The black xiao smiled faintly.

The archer showed disdainful eyes. He was silent and suddenly trembled all over his body. The black xiao's face changed and he just pried open his mouth. The archer's mouth was bleeding, and the pupils of his eyes spread, and he had taken poison to commit suicide.

Hagen called some people to carry out the bodies of the two killers. As for the room, it would not be able to be sorted out for a while, so he simply changed the room for Zero. In the new room, the black man stayed, and the others went back to the room to rest. The black sling said in a low voice, "One is the shooter of the Storm clan, and the other is the warrior of the black hammer. It's just that these two are prisoners and have been expelled from these two clans. I didn't expect them to appear here and attack you.

"This should not be that simple. I just asked Hagen that the two bottles of wine were not sent by him, but stolen. In addition, something has been added to it, which can make people's reaction nerves dull. The stall hand said, "So, this is a game. A killing game against me.

"Here's the problem. This is the control area of our shadow clan. The man was able to send these two people here and let the black hammer warrior ambush you upstairs in advance. It's not easy to do this, even if only the senior officials of the Holy Temple can do it. The black slew said indifferently.

"It seems that an elder of your holy temple doesn't want me to come."

The black xiao snorted: "The lion is sick, and some coyo and wild dogs come out, hoping to take the opportunity to seek some benefits. What a joke!"

Zero was thoughtful, and the black man's expression seemed to be somewhat uncertain about who planned the attack. But he didn't intend to say it. It seems that the situation in the holy temple is more complicated than he thought. At this time, the door opened, Hagen came in and said unusually concisely, "Pound committed suicide."

"Who is he?"

"Black Hammer clan."

The black xiao muttered, "How long has Pound worked with you?"

"It's been almost five years." Hagen replied.

"Have you been recruiting new people recently?" The black sling shook his head and asked.

"A few days ago, there were not enough people, so I recruited three guys to fight for Pound..."

"Go and call these people."

Hagen went down immediately, and it wasn't long before he came back. The old Sandman said with a calm face, "One is missing. His name is Hes."

Hei Xiao nodded: "It should be that he killed Pound and wanted to blame him. You go and find out the origin of this is called Hess. Including his clan, who he has been in contact with.

"I see, my lord."

Hei Xiao looked at Zero again and said, "Take a rest. We still have to go to the holy temple tomorrow. But it is estimated that there will be three or two days to trace Hess, which is enough time for the other party to erase a lot of evidence. So in the end, strength is still the most important.

Nod, after the black xiao left, he also went to bed. After a night without saying anything, in the early morning, the black ark came to knock on the door. After the two had breakfast, Hagen brought Ling a cloak and asked him to put it on. After that, Black Xiao and Ling left the hotel. Because it is morning, there are not many passers-by in the city. Coupled with the cloak of zero, no one will look at zero more unless those who are careful.

The black man took Zero around the city before going out through the gate in the west. Leaving Hakara, Zero asked, "Have you found anything?"

The black xiao was a little surprised and nodded, "You are careful."

Zero lifted his hat and smiled and said, "If you just go out of the city, there is no need to go around the city. So I think you deliberately took me to the control areas of some clans. Besides, in two or three places, I felt that someone seemed to recognize me at a glance.

"Those clans are from Aso, Lu'an and Kaz. Among them, Lu'an people are the most hostile, followed by Kaz and Aso. The Black King looked in the direction of the Pilgrimage Mountain: "Since they can recognize you at a glance, they must have given some kind of order. And showing hostility, it seems that the patriarchs of these clans don't like you so much.

"I'm not here to please them." Hand-handed.

The black xiao smiled and said nothing more. After leaving Hakara City with Zero, he walked to a stream separated from the Holy Lake. Old Hagen was already here early, asking several people to put a moon ship into the river. The moon boat is a tool to go through the stream river to the holy mountain, which is made of logs of ancient trees. The Sandman craftsman hollowed out the center of the tree and made both sides of the ship into a crescent-like shape.

The two ends of the crescent moon are coated with a pattern of falling feathers with black paint, which is the symbol of the shadow family.

There are already two oars on the ship, and a moon boat can take four people. Zero and Hei Xiao were deducted, and the remaining two places were filled by two boatmans. They were responsible for rowing and driving the boat to the foot of the Holy Mountain.

The river that separated from the Holy Lake curved down on this land. Ling sat in the boat and looked at the high and low river banks on both sides. Occasionally, some strange beasts unique to the black earth passed by the shore and cast curious glances at the ship.

Going from the river to the Holy Mountain will save half a day than walking. Therefore, by noon, Zero could already see the black holy mountain. From a close distance, you can see how majestic this mountain is. It rises almost flat, and there is no corresponding excess between the foot of the mountain and even the flat ground. The steep slope makes the mountain look extremely steep. There are no plants on the mountain, but the black mountains and those natural cracks reveal red rock formations. On these cracks, most of them are built with stone steps. However, the cracks are not connected, so the bloody ladder is naturally intermittent.

Between the intermittent stairs, there are cables fixed by steel rings nailed into the stone seams, and mountain climbers can use cables to travel between the stairs. However, when borrowing the cable, your feet are suspended in the air, and a bad one will fall off the mountain. That's not a joke. According to the black xiao, hundreds of people fall to death in the valley at the foot of the mountain every year to climb the holy mountain, which has also become the natural tomb valley of pilgrims.

If you want to go to the Holy Mountain, you can't do it without a certain strength.
