The Sorenson Range, which stretches thousands of miles across the southern tip of the Napalm continent and borders the territories of many countries, including the Kingdom of Rhine and the Kingdom of Shia, has very few areas that are free from mists and fogs due to the terrain or other special reasons.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu6wYOVJyT
Within the southern border of the Kingdom of Rhine is a canyon that cuts vertically through the mountains, avoiding the miasma and fog.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1Ik4VMImf
The canyon is about two kilometers in length, covered by heavy mists all year round above, and the river in the bottom of the canyon, tens of meters apart at the widest point, and more than ten meters at the narrowest point; dozens of wooden and stone houses embedded in the cliffs have been excavated and built on the canyon walls on both sides, and the suspension bridges between each house are built with chains and wooden planks; among them, the huge iron frame round house located at the top and spanning across the canyon at the widest point, and with hundreds of horizontally lined-up iron cables erected in the middle, is the most spectacular one. Among them, the huge iron frame round house located at the top and across the widest part of the canyon, with hundreds of iron ropes horizontally arranged in the center, is the most spectacular.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIZpe9vStT
This stronghold belongs to a group of thieves ...... "Sacred Raven" that once made the merchants south of the Napalm continent fearful of fear.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcIO0gUDMY
"The fine wines of the Kingdom of Rhine, the wheaten flour of the Kingdom of Shia, the spices of the extreme south ...... Just hold the main road through Sorenson and you'll have an unending supply of all the precious goods you can and cannot imagine. "74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpe5se05rS
In the roundhouse built on top of the wire, a man with deep eyes and a carefully trimmed beard grabbed a box of polar southland ginger that was in a crate and took a deep sniff.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsE36WrQjb
"Of course, to a ...... witch demon like you, these things may not have much appeal."74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7ijMlANKM
Hal "Razor" Maxwell, the leader of the Holy Ravens, smiled evilly and looked at the guest sitting on the dark brown sofa, "Let me think about what black wizards like ...... Well, magic powders, spell-casting materials, alchemy materials, right? right, every spell caster likes those things, and I suppose you're no exception."74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4wwpjrAhs
"The guest of the Razor, the mysterious visitor that even the head of the Holy Raven had to receive personally, raised his head slightly.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqzNrMpJk7
This guest ...... who also remained cloaked in a heavy black cloak in the room was actually a skeleton.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY28eLuLqcz
Apparently, this noble guest was different from unintelligent undead creatures, its bones were white and rounded, like fine quality jade, and its eye sockets were not pitch-black, but glittered with a soul-crushing, ghostly red light.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPcho70vr2
When it opened its mouth, even those who saw it with their own eyes would find it hard to believe that such a low, sheepish, mesmerizingly beautiful tone was actually coming from the mouth of a skeleton: "'Razor' Hal...... If all you want to say is just this kind of boring nonsense, then it's time for us to say goodbye."74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODN7b2nXhW
Hal Maxwell's face was instantly a little embarrassed.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgNqh5f1em
But this head of the Holy Raven didn't lash out, instead his words were more earnest: "Sir, if you are not interested in any of this, how about the friendship of a royal heir who is next in line of succession to the throne of Rhine?"74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTFsqQ77bz
The guest seemed to lose interest in continuing the nonsense, reached out and pulled down the hood of his cloak, his figure becoming illusory ......74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFoal6MQvs
Hal blushed profusely and took two steps forward to try to pull his guest to a halt, "Wait, sir, please hear me out-"74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNGMRju2nH
The figure of the guest sitting on the couch disappeared like a bubble, and Hal didn't even have time to grab the corner of its cloak.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NrD8VTn74
"Hell no!" Hal froze, kicking the couch in annoyance.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkuh3j6hSo
"Headmaster, there's, there's a black magician visiting!" Outside the house, the stuttering voice of a junior brother rang out.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLyuM210w1
"Fuck the black wizards, fuck all these fucking wizards!" Hal roared grumpily.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcGbIIxyY8
"Oh?" The black magician-Yang Qiu, who was wearing a black cloak and carrying a dragon bone staff, pushed open the door of the round house with an expressionless face, "What, a black magician has even dug up the ancestral graves of a thieves' group?"74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQIrxJoZDI
Hal: "??"74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWG1yEcrmhD
"First time meeting." Yang Qiu stepped inside graciously, pulling the corners of his mouth in a leathery smile, "'Razor' Hal, is it? Black Magician-Yang, hats off to you."74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVafNeDdD3C
"Yang ......?" Hal first looked confused, then thought of something and his complexion changed slightly, "You ...... 'Nightmare Butcher' Yang?!"74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJG9TYK2f3
"I didn't admit to that nickname." Yang Qiu's face darkened, "Just call me Yang."74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstLC8RkqhL
Bat Elder Brother, who was following Yang Qiu, had just kicked the thieving group's minions who had chased him in out of the house and closed the door, and looked toward Yang Qiu in surprise at his words.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yTZdOQ6kT
Yang Qiu had to explain to his freshly minted bat-brother, "That's just a bad name given to me by the lunatics of the Inquisition for the sake of slander; I've done absolutely nothing to qualify as a butcher's deed."74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbx6pdmmuB
Bat-brother nodded half-heartedly.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZxPFqpKz2
"Let's get down to business, Hal," Yang Qiu soothed his young companion, turning his face to look at the leader of the Holy Ravens who had called him out on his infamy with a bit of a scowl, "I heard that you Holy Ravens had a failed firefight with someone, lost your territory and a lot of your men, and you're looking for a reliable partner, is that right? "74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAwxQwF8Co
Hal blushes ......74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf4tFfvsJm
"This stronghold of yours is quite good, from here to enter and exit Sorenson do not have to worry about those disturbing miasma at all, even if you lose the outside territory, as long as you can still control this canyon, then it is not always reduced to a situation where the whole regiment has no food to eat. But ...... "Yang Qiu raised an eyebrow, "Even an outsider like me can see how important this canyon and this stronghold is, let alone your enemies of the Sacred Raven."74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfogxZg4If5
Hal's expression changed several times, and he gritted his teeth, "If Mr. Yang is interested, we can give this canyon with both hands-"74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQND6cZDCd1
"Not interested." Yang Qiu replied, "This canyon is indeed a good place to collect tolls, but it's not the only safe route into Sorenson, plus the geography here is so bad that it's not suitable for larger caravans, and even the six-legged lizards can't get through, so even if the geese are pulling out of the canyons, how much can they get out of the canyon?"74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsILLzh3oMQ
Hal: "......"74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqC809bLFq
"As far as I know, there is another safe route within the southern territory of Kingdom of Rhine. If we find a way to blow up this canyon, so that all caravans and individuals trying to enter the Sorenson Range from Kingdom of Rhine have to choose another route, and then open up some businesses along the route, such as supply depots and whatnot, isn't that better than having it both ways?" Yang Qiu spreads his hands.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBiV28Bhc3
Hal couldn't bear it and gritted his teeth, "Mr. Yang, are you just planning to come and mock us?"74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGYoKP7cw7
"Of course not." Yang Qiu said, "I just heard that the Holy Ravens, a thieving group that was once quite honorable, had decided to fight as a trapped beast, and didn't think it was necessary to let the dozens of you that were left go to waste."74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W3gG6sqfj
"...... Sorry, I don't understand what you mean."74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVKbSjskip
"My meaning is very simple, Hal.In the end, those of you who always think of getting something for nothing ...... who always expect to earn a large amount of gold by fighting and killing are seeking nothing more than fine wines and food and obtaining enjoyment that exceeds the limits of the average person's imagination, aren't you? "74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXtk0NfDjW
Ignoring Hal's face that instantly became extremely ugly, Yang Qiu calmly spread his hands, "Skip the fighting and killing, skip the so-called large sums of gold coins, and show you a simpler and easier way that can also reap the enjoyment of wine and food and ensure that you don't have to face the high risks of a career as a thief and can have a stable and peaceful life, and it is with this kindness that I come to you. I, your friend."74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadHcM4ML3t
Amidst Hal's look of disbelief, Yang Qiu calmly pulls out a rum-flavored wine purchased at the supermarket at a unit price of 13.8 yuan, half a catty of duck in sauce and marinade sold in the deli section of the supermarket, a plate of buckwheat with preserved vegetables, and a piece of steamed bun at 20 cents a piece.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FX0w8wEiO
Costing a combined total of less than forty dollars for a hearty meal smashed out ...... five hours later, the eighteen members of the original Holy Raven Bandits, including the leader, bagged up and followed Yang Qiu and Bat Lao out of Sorenson.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtmrVzFRFd
On the way along the Kingdom of Rhine borderline towards the Tarantan Wasteland, Bat Elder frowned as he observed the group of noisy thieves in a hurry for half a day, casting a disapproving glance at Yang Qiu.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAB0FybcMwa
"If it had just been 'Razor' Hal, it might have come in handy." The old bat brother, once a decent man, expressed his displeasure with the barbaric thieves so euphemistically.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54Ybt0pSyk
"I understand what you mean, it's true that this rabble can't do much, but at least something is better than nothing." Yang Qiu, who had Bat Elder Brother ride on the same undead horse as himself, explained, "We have to receive a combined total of three hundred or so, safe and harmless, alien guests at the same time, and although they don't need food, drink, or shelter, if it was just the three of us, you, me, and Hal, we wouldn't be able to keep ourselves busy."74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2c9vKRsx1
The old bat brother was silent for quite some time before he said quietly, "No food, no drink, no shelter ...... Your so-called guests are actually undead, right?"74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IdAQ8bmqT
"Well ...... there will be a big difference from the normal undead." Yang Qiu deliberated, "Anyway, you have to believe that they are very safe and harmless indeed, except for the fact that they can act a little out of character."74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmkBfuRnIO
Batman wrinkled his brow and wondered how much credibility there was in the "safe and harmless" claim of the black magician nicknamed the "Butcher of Nightmares."......74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3K7mflAR9
After two days and nights of long distance trekking, nineteen natives of this world ...... intelligent NPCs, followed by Yang Qiu, arrived at the exile town in the middle of the Tarantan Wasteland.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFfMZbKTJL
At this time, three full days of Earth time have passed since the "game shutdown".74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAU0z6QOPd
The original announcement said it was delaying the opening of the service by two days ...... But whatever, what game doesn't skip a beat.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMHEKiZHXA
Yang Qiu, who decided to skip another day, called the nineteen intelligent NPCs, whose hearts were half-cold after seeing the real face of the town of exile, to gather in the town square: "From now on, we still have two more days (otherworldly time) to make preparations, first of all, I'm going to attach the same spiritual brand to all of you, so that all of you will enter into the branding matrix constructed by me! --"74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIo1Dl6OaV0
Hal was startled and stepped forward, "Wait, Jan, my brothers aren't contaminated ......"74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhznkFMJq4
"I understand that having been active in Sorenson for a long time you are experienced and know how to hedge your bets. But rest assured, it is I, a black magician who never prays to the gods, who presides over the matrix, so you need not worry that your spirits will be added with inexplicable stigmas, unknowingly targeted by some unknowable being." Yang Qiu raised his hand and pressed it downward.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2fEXw4hWU
Hal glanced at the old bat brother, wanting to say something.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYlb7ORf4e
Of course he believed that black magicians would not pull people to believe in a certain god like the magi, but ...... spiritual pollution is contagious, and the bat old brother with a pale face and eyes that often become strange is the kind of person who knows at a glance that his spirit is on the verge of breaking down, so to be in the same matrix with a person who may lose control of himself at any time with a spirit as the link. It was really unsettling to be in a spiritually connected matrix with such a person who could lose control at any time.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmh1huYnrm
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for Yang, a high-ranking black magician, pressing the issue, Hal wouldn't even be this close to the bat elder brother.74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtxRasgDSl
"Don't worry Hal, we are not the only ones in this matrix, there will also be three hundred intelligent beings whose resistance to mental contamination is higher than you can imagine, so many reliable anchors, as long as they are not completely crazy can keep their sanity." Yang Qiu smiled, "And ...... it is best not to refuse, such as not in the same matrix, accidentally lit up the blood bar ...... by our guests found that can be attacked, is really will be cut Oh. "74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVyVoQcYew
Hal & Bat Lao & Former Thieves:"??"74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx6zoNDwlw
Mr. Yang, didn't you say our guests are very safe and harmless!74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjjhkcUoej
