Chapter 468 The deserted peeling tower
Herot was in no hurry to leave the Rotten Court, so he needed an excuse to stay here.
Therefore, the negotiations with the Immortal Society can be delayed a little longer. Anyway, the pot of meat has already been taken care of by myself. How much money and resources are given are left to the right.
It just so happens that it can also help Xingkong improve his prestige in the Immortal Society.
After some bickering, the first negotiation broke up unhappy.
Herot took Milika away from the Tower of Immortality, and Ashelia came out to see them off, with a very respectful attitude.
This scene stunned the terrifying knight Strion who was waiting outside. He even released a spell to break the illusion.
That's right...it's Ashelia!
The famous shrew in the Immortal Tower, even the chief director dared to scold her!
Seeing Ashelia's attitude toward a human being, Strien began to eavesdrop on their conversation.
Ashelia: "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. We in the Immortal Tower have our own difficulties. The chief director must consider the huge daily expenses, but our sincerity in cooperation has not changed at all."
Herot: "When the Kingdom of Death was first established, we also had our own difficulties. The country's expenses were beyond your imagination. I agreed to cooperate because you have the knowledge we need, and since we have exchanged the knowledge , you should not pay extra unfair fees
If the chief director insisted on those disrespectful conditions, I might have to make a tough decision. ”
Ashelia: "I will persuade the chief director to relax the conditions..."
Herot: "Okay, I will live in the Peeling Tower. When you change your mind, you can go to the Peeling Tower to find me."
Ashelia: "I heard that the Peeling Tower is not safe. You can live in the Immortal Tower."
"The Tower of Immortality is not suitable for living beings to live in. Now I want to go to the Skinning Tower to find some wine. I look forward to our next meeting, Director of Ashelia."
"Goodbye, Your Majesty Boneshatter."
Eselia watched Herot move away, and warned the terrifying knight on the side: "His Majesty Boneshatter is a distinguished guest of the Immortal Society. If you dare to cause trouble for him, Perik will not be able to protect you."
The familiar Ashelia is back.
The terrifying knight Strin asked: "You call him 'Your Majesty'. Which plane is he the king of?"
"He is the king of the kingdom of death!" Ashelia looked at Strien with contempt: "Why am I talking so much to you, a loser?"
Ashelia turned around and headed back to the Tower of Immortality.
Strien asked hurriedly: "Does the chief director have time to see me?"
Ashelia sneered and walked into the tower.
It seems there is no time.
Strain shoulders the heavy responsibility of Perik's auxiliary administration. Now he can't even meet the chief director of the Immortal Society, let alone win over the Immortal Society to attack Babbitt.
There should be no point in waiting.
So Strion turned the tin can in the direction Helot left.
"The Skinning Tower! The King of the Kingdom of Death..."
Herot came to the Peeling Tower for the second time.
After many attempts to capture young men, the skinning tower is no longer as lively as it was before. The remaining creatures have a method of hiding, and they can use their familiarity with the terrain and the rules of the tower's space to hide and seek with the undead.
Herot came to the first floor of the peeling tower, took out a silver coin and made a crisp and sweet sound in the air.
A goblin appeared in front of him: "I seem to have seen you before... By the way, you are Xingkong's friend."
Goblins are little mudworms who work for the stars.
Herot flicked the silver coins in his hand into the air: "Take me to a place where I can drink."
The little mudworm jumped up and grabbed the silver coin in his hand: "The tavern in the peeling tower is very rare now. I happen to know a good tavern. Would you like to buy me a drink?"
Helot popped out another silver coin: "This is the money to buy you a drink. You stay here. If a terrifying knight comes to see me, take him to see me." The little mudworm jumped up again and grabbed the silver coin: " Have you arranged to meet the Horror Knights here? Everyone will be scared, but I'd love to see them frightened so they can give me more money to call the police for them.
Come with me, I'll take you to the Dark Alley Tavern.
Miss, you are so beautiful! ”
Milica smiled after being praised: "Thank you."
The little mudworm walked backwards: "This is not an unintentional compliment. You give me a very warm feeling, just like the description of sunshine in the book. I will save a sum of money to go to a sunny plane... …”
The little mudworm sank into the wall of the tower, and Helot and Milika followed it inside.
The little mudworm who was familiar with the peeling tower could accurately lead Helot and the others to their destination even if they walked backwards.
Dark alley tavern.
Compared to the deserted Peeling Tower, this place is surprisingly lively.
The wine brewed by bread mushrooms is not very tasty, but it is a rare drink in the land of death. Many residents of Peeta like to come to the tavern and ask for a glass of bread wine when they have nothing to do.
The goblin who completed the task of leading the way left immediately.
Helot and Milika found an empty seat and sat down. Their appearance, attire and temperament attracted the attention of many people in the tavern.
Helot took out the staff and put it on the table, and immediately looked away.
"Two glasses of bread and wine!"
Soon two glasses of bread and wine were brought to their table.
Herot picked up one of the glasses and said to Milika: "This wine has the taste of coffee mixed with mud. You can't drink it in the old land."
Milica was immediately wary of the wine in front of her, but she still couldn't help but want to taste the taste of coffee mixed with mud. She picked up the wine glass and took a sip...
"I want to cut out my tongue now! Why don't you drink?"
Milika had a painful expression on her face, and saw that Herot was just holding the cup and not drinking the wine inside.
Herot: "I already know what it smells like, and I don't want to try it a second time. Don't look at me like that, I've already warned you."
"I finally understand why so many creatures are willing to go to Scorched Earth City and the Land of Death. Even if this place is not harassed by the undead, it will eventually be empty."
"Delicious food will also appear here in the future, and the peeling tower will regain its previous bustle."
While Herot was chatting with Milika, a goblin suddenly broke in: "An undead has entered the Rotten Tower, and it's a terrifying knight."
The tavern immediately became a mess, and in the blink of an eye, all the drinkers disappeared.
The residents of the Peel Tower are very good at hiding.
Then there was the sound of metal boots stepping on the ground outside the tavern. The door was pushed open forcefully, and a terrifying knight wearing full body armor stooped and walked in.
The little mud bugs that followed came only up to his knees.
The little mudworm pointed at Herot: "The person you are looking for is right there. Goodbye!"
After saying that, the little mudworm quickly got out of the tavern from under the Terror Knight, and disappeared in an instant.
The Terror Knight ignored the escaping goblin. He walked to Helot's side with heavy steps, pulled over a chair and sat down.
"Are you the king of the kingdom of death?"
