Chapter 23 Forbidden City Order (1)

The giant snake, which should have been "dead", raised its body again and attacked the unprepared Safili at a speed of at least three times faster than before.

Originally, Safili thought she had solved her opponent, so she didn't pay much attention to a theoretically dead body. Who could have expected this sudden change? When she found that something was wrong and the attack was close, she felt that her mind was blank and she couldn't think of any way to deal with it.

Fortunately, she was in a daze, and there was another person next to her who was very sober. Seeing that the situation was wrong, Zhu Lin also took decisive action. Safeili was the main target of his mission. If he died here for no reason, the system would not be so kind to continue to give him another chance to remedy.

So, a wind tentacle wrapped around Safili's waist like lightning, and pulled the person away from the snake's kiss at a critical moment. At the same time, a magnetic pole mark was attached to the giant snake. After injecting magic power, the giant snake that was originally rushing to death was immediately blown away by a powerful force.

Before the giant snake that had been resurrected from the dead reorganized again, Zhu Lin had already taken out the soul of the angry flame to prepare a burst fireball. The bursting flames wrapped the entire snake head in and smashed it into pieces, completely dead and could not die anymore!

It was not until this moment that Safili, who was attacked, came back to her senses.

"Mr. Riel, this is..."

Obviously, Safili had never seen such a strange situation, and Zhu Lin's face was cold since the giant snake was resurrected. In fact, he had seen almost the same thing not long ago. The black patches covered with the snake's body and a pair of dazzling blood-colored eyes were one of the unique phenomena that infected the devil's curse!

Of course, when encountering this situation before, it was simulated by the Tower of Li Zhan. Zhu Lin felt that it was acceptable to see anything there, but now in the real world, how could the Demon King and other things appear again, which had already fallen more than 1,200 years ago?

However, considering that the battle of great destruction 1,200 years ago was the sudden collision of the main material world in the abyss world, there was no sign before that a large number of demons appeared. It was precisely because they were caught off guard that humans suffered several defeats. Although the one of the three sages had predicted in advance before the appearance of the demon, his prophecy did not receive much attention at the time, which caused the tragic phenomenon of human beings retreating on a large scale at the beginning.

The Curse of the Demon King, which should have disappeared for a time, appeared again. Zhu Lin, who always felt that this was definitely not a good phenomenon, couldn't help but feel a headache. But then he thought, he, a lower-level mage who had not even arrived at HR3, would he have a headache about such a bird? The senior mages of HR5 in the Pan-Human Alliance have not yet moved, so where is his turn to fuck this leisurely mind?

As a result, he became calm. At worst, after entering the territory of the Pan-Human Alliance, he would just find a branch of the Mage Association to report on the situation. Of course, there were big men with time and strength to deal with the problem. Moreover, as the discoverer and reporter of this abnormal situation, he might even get an additional subsidy income.

So while thinking about this, he also smiled slightly at Safili, who seemed to be slightly uneasy.

"It's okay, it's not a big deal. I've just seen it and calculated it. Let's go. It's been delayed for this beast."

Since Zhu Lin had already said that, of course Safili was not saying anything more. After nodding obediently, she was not going to see the corpse of the giant snake.

After Zhu Lin and the others left, the black patches on the giant snake's corpse suddenly began to grow gradually, and a trace of black mist continued to spread out from the snake's skin. At the same time, the giant snake's corpse also quickly rotted and dissolved at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few breaths, it turned into a bloody skeleton.

After the decomposed black aura lingered on the corpse of the giant snake for a while, it seemed to be guided by some force. It roared and flew up in a certain direction, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

———————————————

On the afternoon of that day, Zhu Lin and Safili rushed forward, and even Zhu Lin even put three one-star gain magic on the two in one breath, which was considered to have arrived at the destination this time, a city called "Mecca Toby".

Of course, this is also the first time Zhu Lin has seen a real city in this world...

Whether it was the previous village of Mololo or Kaohm, one was a remote mountain village or the other was a small village town, the scale was naturally completely impossible to match the Tobi City of Mecca, although it was on the edge of the Pan-Human Alliance, it was considered a true regular city with a relatively large area and scale. When I first walked into the city, Zhu Lin suddenly had the strange illusion of "finally coming into contact with human civilization."

Of course, he can't blame him for making a fuss. After all, he has been staying in a small mountain village that is almost isolated from the world for several months. There are only a hundred people in the village. Individuals will feel that they are simply out of touch with the entire human civilization.

However, after the initial excitement passed, Zhu Lin, who was walking on the city street with Safili, obviously felt a little strange.

In fact, he felt that when he first entered the city, there was a queue at the gate when he entered the city gate. Logically speaking, it was not a special day. There were not too many pedestrians passing by in places like Toby, Mecca. How could a mere identity check cause a long queue?

Although he was a little confused about this, Zhu Lin did not have the intention to go into it in depth. Since others had their rules, he should naturally do things according to the rules. After about half an hour of queuing at the city gate, it was the turn to check Zhu Lin and the others.

The city guards guarding at the gate of the city did not release the identity after Safili reported his identity. They insisted on checking and confirming Zhu Lin's identity. They successfully released the identity after Zhu Lin took out his mage badge. Although there are similar inspections in every city for entering the city, under normal circumstances, as long as one person takes out his identity certificate and verbally guarantees the identity of his fellow travelers, if the number of people is not very large, they will be released directly.

Like now, everyone must carefully check the past practices, which are naturally a bit strange. After entering the city, Zhu Lin found that although there were people coming and going on the streets in the city, most of the people looked hurried, and they were eager to finish the work and rush home immediately.

Just as Zhu Lin was thinking this way, a passerby seemed to be walking too fast and didn't see the road clearly. He collided with Zhu Lin. On the spot, the young man, who seemed not old, also apologized twice in embarrassment. After Zhu Lin said "Forget it, it's okay", he immediately walked away quickly.

"It's strange. People here weren't so rude..."

Obviously, Safili was very dissatisfied with the reaction of the young man after he hit someone. In her opinion, she should at least apologize seriously and then politely ask if he had hit the other party or something. She had no reaction. It would be too rude to apologize and leave directly.

However, Zhu Lin didn't care about this. He just touched his chin as if he was thinking, and then reached out to take out a small silver coin.

Safili followed Zhu Lin's movement and focused her eyes on the silver coins in his hand. As a result, she couldn't turn her eyes away when she saw this. In fact, there were few people who could still recognize Balorf's Abyss coins now, but Safili happened to be one of them. Seeing that Zhu Lin took out such a priceless treasure, her face became subtle.

Of course, Zhu Lin's actions surprised her even more. He saw Zhu Lin throwing the priceless treasure in his hand into the sky without any hesitation. At that moment, Safili felt that her heart was uncontrollably jumping twice. Fortunately, Zhu Lin's subsequent actions did not further challenge her pitiful nerves, but calmly reached out to catch the falling silver coins.

"A positive number...?"

While saying this, Zhu Lin also opened his palms holding the silver coin. As expected, the side facing upwards of the silver coin was the same as he said. So, after doing this, Zhu Lin put the silver coin back into his pocket (actually took it back into the museum), then patted Safili on the shoulder and gave her a bright smile.

"How is it? Are you interested in having a drink with me?"

“Oh…oh…”

Safili, who was a little at a loss by Zhu Lin's sudden attack, was stunned at first, and then nodded blankly. Seeing her nodding, Zhu Lin also took someone to choose a tavern without saying a word.

After ordering two glasses of low-degree fruit wine with great enthusiasm, Zhu Lin also took out an ordinary silver coin from his pocket, then approached a young bartender, and placed the silver coin on the desk.

"Sorry, can this guy ask me something?"

Obviously, the other party also knew the rules very well. He immediately put down the wine glass that was wiping in his hand with a smile, and while taking the silver coin quietly, he spoke naturally.

"Of course, it is my honor to be able to solve the problems of the guests. Is there anything that can help you?"

"Has something big happened in the city recently? I think the atmosphere is very tense~"

The young bartender also calmed down. He looked around carefully before coming up and replied mysteriously in a low voice.

"I don't know this very clearly, but according to the messages in the city these days, it seems that some mutated monsters have appeared in the suburbs. These monsters are crazily attacking passing humans. There have been dozens of attacks in the past half month. And according to rumors from some people, some of the humans attacked by those monsters have also become the same monster!"
