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.27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauwN0UHNzt
Within the southern border of the Kingdom of Rhine is a canyon that cuts vertically through the mountains, avoiding the miasma and fog.27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eBMoDjVMd
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.27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGgRMAqnjn
This stronghold belongs to a group of thieves ...... "Sacred Raven" that once made the merchants south of the Napalm continent fearful of fear.27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdn87pm5YgI
"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. "27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhzHFNMpTi
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.27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudAWt8QQuU
"Of course, to a ...... witch demon like you, these things may not have much appeal."27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9b9R3RzGj
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."27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Mse17K947
"The guest of the Razor, the mysterious visitor that even the head of the Holy Raven had to receive personally, raised his head slightly.27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSuH8iaLPL
This guest ...... who also remained cloaked in a heavy black cloak in the room was actually a skeleton.27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDebMPtL1cp
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.27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbra9mOC4ca
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."27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhPIINnSzf
Hal Maxwell's face was instantly a little embarrassed.27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4Zarr2WnW
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?"27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xufFmJvMv
The guest seemed to lose interest in continuing the nonsense, reached out and pulled down the hood of his cloak, his figure becoming illusory ......27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjibKuOiN9
Hal blushed profusely and took two steps forward to try to pull his guest to a halt, "Wait, sir, please hear me out-"27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBO1SCA6Ma
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.27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFdaJ2HT7g
"Hell no!" Hal froze, kicking the couch in annoyance.27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5XjjmOFWI
"Headmaster, there's, there's a black magician visiting!" Outside the house, the stuttering voice of a junior brother rang out.27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV02nyhtVYI
"Fuck the black wizards, fuck all these fucking wizards!" Hal roared grumpily.27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpx5MdAnk2i
"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?"27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKHDYQs8tn
Hal: "??"27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt2Z33qjuQ
"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."27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleVg1WTLnG
"Yang ......?" Hal first looked confused, then thought of something and his complexion changed slightly, "You ...... 'Nightmare Butcher' Yang?!"27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ535kcTug42
"I didn't admit to that nickname." Yang Qiu's face darkened, "Just call me Yang."27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydKkyPRPIX
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.27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqULl7EPec
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."27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi69kki7Xyy
Bat-brother nodded half-heartedly.27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshvGEhh1QQ
"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? "27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiywM8MoB4H
Hal blushes ......27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBktw3F9Cr
"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."27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoYuqyGKsA
Hal's expression changed several times, and he gritted his teeth, "If Mr. Yang is interested, we can give this canyon with both hands-"27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZIcfo1vev
"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?"27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KyCYHEoVY
Hal: "......"27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Qn8EmIa8z
"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.27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GnoAizeiO
Hal couldn't bear it and gritted his teeth, "Mr. Yang, are you just planning to come and mock us?"27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wTcN9HsXJ
"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."27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY3JpyJ3Vj
"...... Sorry, I don't understand what you mean."27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe89f16XLhO
"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? "27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y3ECwovkX
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."27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEmsHdgIHc
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.27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5rXhtY3zW
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.27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxulrQshIXJ
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.27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeh1XVYnXS
"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.27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWFHOayrzQ
"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."27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB4KcQvjts
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?"27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6mVh2h7N3
"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."27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9BNOyPNNX
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."......27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCXJhasVUx
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.27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqc2Q6TZo9
At this time, three full days of Earth time have passed since the "game shutdown".27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Fw00iJY47
The original announcement said it was delaying the opening of the service by two days ...... But whatever, what game doesn't skip a beat.27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBfsn3JaHY
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! --"27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM7W8wbdA3
Hal was startled and stepped forward, "Wait, Jan, my brothers aren't contaminated ......"27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLa6sSn2rp6
"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.27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypLTv7cFZk
Hal glanced at the old bat brother, wanting to say something.27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC6ygorLoi
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.27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54pVk2M2rx
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.27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhrHwqcskS
"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. "27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE6Bl1WPHN
Hal & Bat Lao & Former Thieves:"??"27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLyJQtrlMN
Mr. Yang, didn't you say our guests are very safe and harmless!27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPcRZ5ukCY
