Zhuo Yun sighed and said: "Let's go. Not far ahead is Sunset City. This is the only big city in the Sunset Empire that we have never been to. I hope the princess will be there. It has been more than two years. If we don't save it, Back to the princess, once the elf blood is used up, I'm afraid..."
A-Dai walked to Zhuo Yun and said firmly: "Sister, don't worry, we will definitely be able to rescue Princess Xing'er."
A group of four people headed toward Sunset City in the west along the road. What kind of challenges will be waiting for them there?
Sunset City, the capital of the Sunset Empire, is named because it is closest to where the sun sets. It is located in the westernmost part of Tianyuan Continent and is also the largest city in the Sunset Empire. The fifty-meter-high city is constantly patrolled back and forth by energetic soldiers. The wide city gate is enough for twenty people to pass through in parallel. The Sunset City, with its back to the sea, covers an area of more than 30,000 square kilometers, equivalent to two cities. Dark City size. The suspension bridge was lowered, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians and carriages coming and going, creating a bustling and lively scene.
There are dozens of soldiers guarding the gate of Sunset City. Their eyes are constantly scanning the passers-by. Anyone who looks suspicious will definitely go up to check.
Ah-Dai touched the elf bracelet in his arms, but there was no response from the bracelet. He could not help but frown, and whispered to the rock beside him: "Brother, there seems to be no elf in Sunset City! ”
Shi Shi was stunned and said, "No response?" Ah-Dai nodded gently.
Rock thought for a while and said: "This city looks very big, maybe because the Elf Bracelet's inquiry range cannot reach it. Let's go in and take a look around. This is the last big city of the Sunset Empire. At the beginning Brother Yuehen's judgment has been confirmed by 90% so far. It is almost certain that the dark forces of the Sunset Empire bribed the Thieves Guild to capture the elves. Since this is the case, they have no reason not to keep the princess in the Sunset Empire. , and the largest Sunset City is the most likely place. We took a circuitous route to the west, not missing all the big cities. I believe that Her Royal Highness must be here."
Zhuo Yun said: "The rock is right. Let's go to the city first. We have visited all the big cities in the Sunset Empire. If there is still no trace of Her Royal Highness here, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find. Is God going to destroy our elves?" Worry? The look on her face showed that she was very clear about the importance of the Elf King's bloodline, which was related to the future fate of the entire Elf clan.
Dui comforted: "Sister, don't worry, we will definitely be able to rescue the princess. Let's go to the city and have a look." As he said that, the four of them walked towards the city gate.
When they walked to the city gate, the eyes of the city gate guards immediately fell on the four of them. Although the four of them were all wearing civilian clothes, the aura inadvertently shown by Dumb and Rock Brothers still made these soldiers Found it. "Stop." The leader shouted to the four of them.
The four of them were shocked. Yan Yan smiled and said, "Brother Bing, what can I do for you?" In order to avoid trouble, the weapons of him and Yan Li were collected by Ah-Dai in the Blood of the Dragon, so , he was not worried about the inspections of these soldiers.
The soldier looked at the rock up and down and said, "Where are you from? What are you doing in the capital?"
The rock said: "We came from the countryside, and we came to the capital to see if there are any It’s just an opportunity to make money.”
The soldier snorted in confusion and said, “Brothers, let me search to see if there is anything suspicious about them.”< br>
Although Brother Yan is not afraid of searches, how can Ah-Dai and Zhuo Yun be searched? He carries the Pluto Sword on his chest, and Zhuo Yun's identity as an elf cannot be known.
Seven or eight soldiers came over to the four of them. Yan Yan quickly took out a few silver coins from his arms, stuffed them into the hands of the leader of the soldiers, and whispered: "Brother, use these to buy some wine for the brothers. Drink, there are women among us, so it may be inconvenient to search. Can you please take care of me and stop searching?" The soldier weighed the silver coins in his hand, raised his hand to stop his men, smiled, and nodded: " Okay, I see there’s nothing suspicious about you, so let’s go in because of your kindness.”
The rock was happy, and the four of them hurriedly walked into the city. Yanli whispered to Yanshi: "Brother, why are the guards in Sunset City so tight? There is no such inspection in other cities."
Rock said: "After all, this is the capital of the Sunset Empire, so it is normal for the inspection to be stricter. Well, let's find a place to stay first. We must be more cautious. We have been approached by people from the Killer Guild several times before, which shows that we My whereabouts are not secret. It’s better to cause as little trouble as possible. Dumb, what’s wrong with you?”
Ah-Dai suddenly stood motionless on the spot, pressing his chest with his hands, with a look of astonishment on his face. Zhuo Yun seemed to feel something. He came close to Ah-Dai and whispered: "Did the bracelet reflect?" Ah-Dai nodded, led the four of them to a remote corner, and took the Elf Bracelet from his arms. When I took it out, the elf bracelet shone with a strange look and was completely green. This was a signal that there was an elf nearby.
Yan Li said happily: "Great, there is a reaction, that means the elf princess is not far nearby. Now we can find it easily."
A trace of joy flashed in Zhuo Yun's eyes, but the joy faded away. He frowned and said, "It is almost certain that Her Royal Highness the Princess is in Sunset City. However, if my guess is correct, because of the blood of the Elf King in the Princess, The response of the Elf Bracelet is too great, which means that we can no longer find the princess’s exact location by relying on the strength of its sensing. What can we do? Sunset City is so big, we can’t go from house to house to search for everything. Not only is time not allowed, , and once we are discovered, we may not be able to move forward in Sunset City, let alone rescue the princess.”
The four of them fell into silence for a long time, and no one had any good ideas. Zhuo Yun sighed: "It's a pity that I don't have the ability to sense the bloodline of the Elf King. It would be great if Her Majesty the Queen comes in person. With Her Majesty's ability to penetrate the sky and the earth, we will definitely be able to find the princess. If it doesn't work, let's return to our Elf clan as soon as possible. Go and invite Her Majesty to come."
A-Dai's heart moved, and he remembered the scroll that the Elf Queen had given him, and hurriedly said: "Sister, I have a way to summon Her Majesty to Sunset City." At that moment, he will. He took out the scroll that the queen had given him before and told the three people what happened. Zhuo Yun was overjoyed after hearing this, "Great, now summon Her Majesty the Queen. With her power, we will definitely be able to determine the princess's location. It will be much easier for us to start."
Rock grabbed Dumb, who was about to open the scroll, and said, "Don't worry, let's find a place to stay. We don't know what will happen when this scroll is opened. It would be bad if it was discovered by people in Sunset City." Moreover, since Her Majesty the Queen can only be summoned for two hours, we must seize these two hours in order to rescue Her Majesty the Princess."
Zhuo Yun's eyes showed approval. , sighed and said: "I'm too impulsive, let's leave quickly and find a place to stay first. Thank you, Rock."
Rock looked at Zhuo Yun deeply, this time Over the years of getting along, it became increasingly difficult for him to extricate himself from his feelings for this kind-hearted elf girl. His heart that died because of Yun'er's death seemed to be rejuvenated and resurrected again. Zhuo Yun seemed to be in his heart Just like his resurrected cloud, every frown and smile touched his soul. However, it was precisely because of the dead Yun'er that he could not face his own feelings. Although he was extremely concerned about Zhuo Yun, he did not dare to show it. He would just watch Zhuo Yun silently from the side, and every time he rescued Zhuo Yun, he did not dare to show it. When she was an elf, the rock would always protect Zhuo Yun, for fear that she would make a mistake. Even the dumb Dumb could see the changes in the rock. How could Zhuo Yun not understand? However, because of the death of Qiling and the elves, Zhuo Yun has been in a very low mood. It is not that the simple rocks cannot impress her, but she does not dare to face this feeling now. Normally, Shi Yan and Zhuo Yun would always avoid each other's eyes intentionally or unintentionally.
Zhuo Yun hid beside Ah-Dai with some avoidance, and the four of them walked on the streets of Sunset City. The streets of Sunset City were the widest they had ever seen, reaching dozens of meters wide. There doesn't seem to be any dark forces hidden here. Although there are many shops around, it is different from other cities. There is no place like a casino or a brothel.
"Brother, what do you think of that hotel?" Yan Li pointed to a not very big hotel not far ahead. The appearance of the hotel is very mediocre, without any gorgeous decorations. The big sign at the door reads Tongxin Hotel. Rock nodded and said: "Okay, then stay here."
The four of them entered the hotel, and they were all stunned. Compared with the decoration inside, it was completely different from the outside. From the outside, This is just an ordinary two-story building, but once you enter, you will see that the spacious hall is nearly a thousand square meters. Although the decoration is not as luxurious as the original Anhao Nightclub, it is still quite gorgeous. The floor is covered with scarlet carpets, and there are four huge pillars at the four corners of the hall supporting the ceiling beams. Although there are not many furnishings in the hall, the various decorations are very elegant. At this time, there were not many guests in the hotel. There were only seven or eight guests registering at the counter on the left. .
Seeing the four people entering, two sturdy waiters came up to them, with lukewarm expressions on their faces. One waiter said in a strange tone: "Stop, what are you doing here?"
Dumb was stunned and said: "Isn't this a hotel here? Of course we are here to stay."
A waiter snorted and said disdainfully: "You guys just came from the country. Country bumpkins, you don’t even know where we are. You are not worthy of living here, so leave quickly before we kick you out.”
Yan Li took a step forward, stood up on his toes, grabbed the speaking waiter's chest, and said angrily: "Who do you think is a country bumpkin?"
The waiter was stunned. He obviously did not expect these four ordinary people in ordinary clothes in front of him. If he dared to attack him, Yanli's big hands were full of strength. Although he was short, the waiter had no power to resist with this grab. He tried struggling a few times, but found that it was as if a huge mountain was pressing on his chest, making it difficult to move. He said angrily: "Dwarf, let go of your stinky hands. You don't want to live anymore, do you?"
Yan Li hated people saying he was short, so he became furious and used one arm to lift the waiter. stand up. If he were allowed to take the waiter out, he would probably be seriously injured even if he didn't die. Yan Yan grabbed Yan Li's arm and frowned: "Ali, don't be impulsive, put him down first. We are not here to cause trouble."
Yanli glanced at the rock, hummed heavily, put the waiter on the ground, and let go of his hand. The waiter took a few steps back, and with the help of his companions, he stood upright. His proud face turned pale, and his voice trembled, "You, you..."
The rock shouted "What are you doing? You look down on others. If you don't want to die, just get out of here." After saying that, the four of them walked towards the counter proudly. They hadn't taken a few steps when more than a dozen waiters immediately surrounded them. With a menacing look, at this moment, a man who looked like a steward came over from the direction of the counter, frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
The two waiters ran to the steward, He recounted what had just happened. The steward looked at Ah-Dai and the others up and down, and said impatiently: "You can't come here without money. Don't you know it well? You can't afford this place at all. Leave quickly." He said, as if driving him away. He waved his hand like a fly.
The repeated insults made the rock hit him angrily. He strode forward, took out the money card he had received from Uncle Fatty from his arms, threw it at the steward, and said in a cold voice: "You're blind. Take a closer look at your dog eyes.”
The steward was stunned. He was not angry because of the insult from the rock. He picked up the deposit card that fell on the ground, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. The look on his face was, "Ah! This, this is."
Rock snorted coldly: "You can check it out. There is at least one million gold coins in this card. Are we qualified to live here? ? "The Sunset Empire's consumption is very high. Over the past year or so, they have already used up all their original money, and Dumb is too embarrassed to go to the Magician's Guild to ask for it, so he uses the old method to punish the casinos in the Sunset Empire. They also won a lot. Although they were much more restrained than when they were in Anhao, they still had millions of gold coins in their hands, which was enough for them to spend.
The steward's expression quickly changed, and he respectfully handed the bank card back to the rock. He turned to the waiters and said angrily: "Why don't you disperse quickly? Are you the ones feeding you? You can't even recognize the distinguished guests?" He turned to the rock and said flatteringly: "I'm so sorry. It's all these subordinates who are rude. Please forgive us for our indifference. Please come with me as a few distinguished guests." As he said this, he turned around and led the way.
Yan Li glanced at his mouth relentlessly. He had seen this kind of face too many times. Being rich and powerful meant everything in the Sunset Empire. The four people were led to the counter on the left by the steward. The steward asked: "Dear guests, do you know if there is anything we need to do?"
Shi Shi said: "We want to stay in a hotel. You are not a hotel here. Open three rooms. "The rooms in any hotel in the Sunset Empire are usually for two people. They have always had a room for Brother Rock, and a room for Ah-Dai and Zhuo Yun.
The steward was stunned and said with a smile: "It turned out to be a misunderstanding. You guys must be from other places. Our Sunset City is different from other cities because it is the capital of the empire after all, so casinos and brothels cannot be opened openly, so, Most of them have changed their names. Here, we mainly make these two kinds of businesses. Don’t you want to have some fun?”
The four of them were stunned at the same time. It turns out that it is not that there are no casinos and brothels in Sunset City, but that they are selling dog meat with sheep's head and hide it. Dumb frowned and said: "Then do you have a place to stay here?"
The steward said: "Of course there is, but it is usually reserved for those big-money guests, so the price is naturally a bit higher."
< br>
Yan Yan handed over the deposit card and said: "It doesn't matter if the price is high. The most important thing is that the environment must be quiet. We don't like noisy, understand?" Summoning the Elf Queen is such a secret thing that no outsider can discover it.
The steward hurriedly took the card and said: "Understand, understand. Our VIP rooms here have always been famous for their elegant environment. Three rooms are available, no problem." He quickly completed the formalities, and three rooms were available in one day. The accommodation fee actually costs three hundred gold coins. Yan Yan now understands why the attendants stopped them from entering in the first place. The consumption here is indeed not something ordinary people can afford, and it is probably not much better than Anhao Nightclub.
The steward personally took them to the VIP room at the back. Although this hotel looked inconspicuous from the outside, it was very spacious inside. It was mainly divided into two parts: the casino and the brothel. Of course, these two parts were also On the same token, it is really difficult to play here without assets of more than hundreds of thousands.
Passing through a long corridor, on both sides of the corridor are the two halls of Tongxin Hotel. According to the steward, there are also many ordinary guest rooms in the brothel, but they are only for the use of prostitutes. At the entrance of the brothel, there were more than a dozen gorgeous girls who were constantly stroking and posing for a few people, but their looks were ordinary, and even the more lustful Yanli couldn't be interested. The four people followed the steward to the backyard of the hotel. There was a small building in the backyard. This small building was the so-called VIP building. The steward took them into the building and opened three rooms for them on the second floor.
"Dear guests, if you need anything, please feel free to ask. There are attendants in the building, ready to serve you."
The rock said impatiently: "Go down, I will call them if anything happens.”
The steward still seemed a little unwilling and asked: "Are you really not going to the casino to have fun? Our facilities here are first-class. There are also first-class waitresses in the brothel, with full services, you are guaranteed to be satisfied."
The rock did not refuse directly, and said calmly: "We have come a long way and need to rest. We will wait until we have rest." After that, the four of them entered a room together and locked the steward out.
The decoration in the room is indeed very gorgeous, but the accommodation fee of one hundred gold coins per day still seems so expensive.
Yan Li sat down on the big bed in the center of the room and said, "Brother, are we ready to take action now?"
Yan Li shook his head and said, "I'm not busy, the action has to start at night, Big Brother" It would be too conspicuous to summon Her Majesty the Elf Queen during the day."
Zhuo Yun took off the bamboo hat on his head, revealing his pointed ears, and said: "Then let's do it tonight, Her Majesty the Queen will come. Act immediately." The expression on her face was still very worried, and her worry would not disappear as long as the Elf Princess was not rescued.
Duan thought for a while and said: "Sister, I don't know why? I always feel that tonight's operation will not go well."
Zhuo Yun was stunned and said: "Why? With our current strength, Coupled with Her Majesty the Queen and several elders, even the most powerful nobles cannot stop our actions."
A'Dai said: "I don't understand why I feel this way, but it's better to be careful. , let’s practice for a while and wait until we are in the best condition before we act.”
Zhuo Yun nodded. She was still very convinced of the strongest Ah-Dai. After all, every time the elves were rescued, Ah-Dai was almost always responsible for resisting most of the enemies. In her heart, the strength shown by Ah-Dai was no less than that of the elves. The great elf envoy. "Okay, I'll go to the next room to rest." After saying that, he left the room under the silent gaze of the rock.
Watching Zhuo Yun leave, Yan Yan frowned and said, "Ah-Dai, is there something on your mind?" From the dull look on Ah-Dai's face, Yan Yan had already seen the flaw. Dui seemed to be worried about something, but he didn't show it in front of Zhuo Yun.
A cold light flashed in A-Dai's eyes, and he sighed and said: "Brother, I'm really afraid that the elf princess will be like the previous elves." The last time they rescued the elf was two months ago. He prevented the female elf from committing suicide three times, but the elf was severely traumatized and eventually died of menopause. The deaths of fourteen elves one after another touched Ah-Dai deeply, and he was full of hatred for those greedy and dark nobles. The name of the God of Death appeared in the homes of the nobles again and again, but this was not enough to calm Ah-Dai's heart. of sadness. It has been almost a year and a half since Bing's death. Over the past year and a half, his heart has been in an extremely dark place. He is about to save the last elf, and it is the most important thing. Elf Princess, Ah-Dai's heart is full of hesitation. If the Elf Princess also commits suicide, then their mission will fail. The blow after blow has brought Ah-Dai to the edge of collapse. Of course, he couldn't express his worries in front of Zhuo Yun, because he clearly understood that watching his tribe members die one by one, Zhuo Yun was hit harder than him, and he could no longer stimulate her. .
The rock sighed and said: "Brother, I don't understand your concerns. Now I can only hope that the elf bloodline that Her Majesty the Queen originally mentioned can preserve the purity of the princess. Otherwise, it will be really difficult for us to explain to Her Majesty the Queen." He How can we not worry? Zhuo Yun's heartbroken expression and the deaths of the elves also shocked his soul.
Ah-Dai said bitterly: "These beasts of the Sunset Empire use all kinds of evil methods. I'm afraid, it's difficult for the elves to have blood..."
The rock patted Ah-Dai. shoulder, saying: "It's useless to worry now. Everything has its own destiny. If God allows the Elf Princess to be humiliated, we can't change it."
Suddenly there was a bright light in Ah-Dai's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "God, what does God mean? If there really is a God, why doesn't he have mercy on these kind people and let those evil forces run rampant? Even if God wants to stop me, I will I will fight with him too. If Princess Xing'er is insulted, I will let all the nobles of the Sunset Empire bury her with her."
Under the surging murderous intention emanating from Ah-Dai, the Rock Brothers agreed. His heart trembled, and the two looked at each other. The rock mobilized the fighting spirit in his body, resisted the huge pressure emanating from Ah-Dai, grabbed his shoulders, and said: "Brother, the murderous intention in your heart is too strong. If this continues, you will fall. Do you feel that Pluto The sword seems to be gradually controlling your mind? "
Dumb was stunned, he woke up from the overwhelming murderous intention, lowered his head, and murmured: "Brother, how could I not know about the sword of Hades? It's powerful, but it also corrodes my body and mind. If it weren't for my vitality to control it, I'm afraid it would have controlled my mind by now. However, how could I do it in the face of those damn guys. Let them go?" What he didn't say was that the evil power of the Pluto Sword not only corroded his soul, but also restricted the growth of his skills. Although over the past year or so, his vitality has improved rapidly. But every time he goes to attack the final level of the eighth level, there will be an inexplicable evil that stops him, preventing him from breaking through to the ninth level, the highest level of vitality. Unless he reaches the ninth level, it will be difficult for him to make a qualitative leap in his transformation. He doesn't want to use the Pluto Sword anymore, but whenever he encounters danger, only the Pluto Sword is his most advantageous attack weapon. The first three moves of the Pluto Sword can be said to be almost indestructible. So far, except for the original Catwoman, Except for those who escaped, no one could survive the sword of Hades. In order to achieve the purpose of killing evil people, he used the Pluto Sword again and again, and no one knew how many people died under the overwhelming evil energy. As the Pluto Sword devoured more souls, the backlash of its evil energy became stronger and stronger. A sense of boredom often arose in Ah-Dai's heart, as if everyone in the world deserved to die, and the murderous intention in his heart It often arises for no reason. If it weren't for the kind thoughts deep in his heart and the sacred power that engendered true energy, he would have been unable to resist and turned into a real murderous demon.
Rock shook his head and said: "Brother, although those people deserve to die, you'd better try not to use the Pluto Sword in the future. Otherwise, if you really can't control yourself at all, the first person to be killed will probably be the one closest to you." Are we approaching? "
A'Dai's whole body was shaken, and he looked at the rock with dull eyes. He knew clearly that what the rock said was not alarmist, and it was not impossible. Cold sweat continued to break out, and Ah-Dai suddenly felt that his mind was much clearer. Taking a deep breath, Dumb said: "Brother, I went back to my room to practice. Only by breaking through the final limit of my vitality can I have the possibility of controlling the Pluto Sword." After saying that, he resolutely walked out of Brother Rock's room and entered the final room. In the VIP room on the side.
Watching Ah-Dai leave, Yan Yan sighed helplessly, and said to Yan Li: "Let's start practicing too. I hope Ah-Dai can control himself."
Yan Li said: "Brother, is Ah-Dai's situation really as serious as you said?"
Yan Li nodded solemnly and said: "Only more serious than what I said. Haven't you noticed that in recent times? When Ah-Dai kills people, he becomes a different person, like a cold demon, showing no mercy. Sometimes, the opponent is obviously not very strong, but he still uses the Pluto Sword to kill those people. Mummy, don't you feel disgusted by it? But Ah-Dai didn't seem to notice it. I felt really bad when I saw Ah-Dai turned into this. If I had known it would be like this, I would have stopped him in the first place. I promised the Elf Queen. Saving the elves is important, but it would be even more terrifying if the kind-hearted Dui turned into a demon. Hey, in my heart, Dui has a more important position than the elves. You should remember that Prophet Prin means us! We must not watch him continue like this."
Yan Li deeply felt his brother's worry and gritted his teeth and asked: "Brother, if one day Ah-Dai really can't control himself, we will. What to do?”
Yan Yan's whole body was shaken. Looking at Yan Li, the two brothers stood there with chills all over. They both thought of the answer, but neither of them wanted to accept the answer. Shi Yan said harshly: "I hope that day will never come. From today on, we must try our best to prevent Ah-Dai from using the Pluto Sword. It's all because our skills are too weak. If we can help him share more, maybe it will be fine now." There are more. Ali, we have to work harder to practice."
After Ah-Dai entered the room, he sat cross-legged on the big bed. He did not start practicing immediately, silently thinking about what Shi Yan said before. Waves of chills made his body tremble. Dui gently stroked the Pluto Sword on his chest, why? Why do you bring me great strength, but also bring me so much trouble. You influence my mind. Will I really become a devil in the future? No, no, I don’t want to become a devil. I am Dumb. I used to be so kind. However, since Bing died, I have changed and become so murderous. I can’t go on like this. .
