"Bang!" The sound of a loud metal seal colliding with the wooden table came from the hand of the beautiful woman. After handing the recovered 1 yuan new coin to Sai, Luo Nie took a blue stamp from the woman's hand.
receipt slip with colored and red text.
The blue part says "Estimated delivery on March 19th" in Zine Empire language, and the red part says "Paid" in Western Continent common language.
Since the legend of the gods in the Silent Highlands has attracted a number of explorers, including the southern Putoa Federation, Sunida Town, in order to take care of humans from different regions and races, uses the Zine Empire as much as possible in documents and receipts.
A mixture of Chinese and Western Continental lingua franca.
"Miss, if there is a reply from Sugra, how soon can we come to check." Luo Nie stared at the beautiful woman with her light blue eyes and asked in a soft voice.
"Sir, you can use your resident card to inquire after two days. We only guarantee the delivery of telegram information, and we do not guarantee that you will be notified. But as long as there is a reply to you in this city, we will definitely be able to find it in time.
." The pretty woman answered in the most standard Zine Empire dialect with a professional smile.
"OK, thanks."
…
Zine Empire, Sunida Town, Zhenxin Street, Hotel No. 1155.
Due to preparations for the upcoming auction and the purchase of materials for making the coat of arms of the pseudo-god professor in the illusion, Luonie and Sai chose a relatively remote but cheap hotel.
Hotel No. 1155 was the result of Luo Nie's careful selection after shopping around. Although it is located on the edge of Zhenxin Street, it is close to a civilian garbage plant.
But fortunately, the operation of the garbage plant is completely in compliance with the "Industrial and Civilian Waste Management Measures" of the Zine Empire. Apart from the psychological discomfort, there is not much physical discomfort.
Moreover, Hotel No. 1155 is not only a small building with a four-story semi-timber structure, but its overall appearance is blue and gray, and the interior looks clean after being painted with treated white paint.
After paying ten days' rent and a deposit of 4 Singapore dollars and 50 cents at the reception desk on the first floor, Luo Nie finally received a brass key and walked to Room 56 on the top floor.
"Ah, Sai, I can finally have a good rest. I'm exhausted from this journey." Luo said, clasping his hands outward and stretching upward at a 45-degree angle.
Immediately afterwards, he threw the large light blue travel backpack on the white bed and pounced on it like a hungry tiger pouncing on food.
"Yes, brother Luonie." Sai shouted equally excitedly.
Like a real human child, he put aside his old leather shoes stained with mud and blood, stepped onto the large, soft and elastic white bed, and jumped repeatedly on it.
It looks very much like playing with a toy that children in the pre-New Zealand empire were exposed to since childhood - a trampoline.
Ignoring Sayi next to him and his slightly tired body, Luo Nie looked around the room. What he saw was a space twice the size of a middle-class bedroom, a white wooden single bed, and a bed by the door.
On the left is a set of slightly old red leather sofas with some yellow stains.
In addition, the small room with the door open on the right hand side is an independent bathroom. The toilet and bathtub inside have been cleaned, so you can wash, bathe and relieve yourself.
Since the New Year, major cities have suffered varying degrees of damage to their water supply and power supply networks. As a result, there are only a handful of households with bathrooms in the cities, and they are either rich or expensive.
Under normal circumstances, urban residents go to public toilets or bathrooms. If not, they can just save time and money on washing up.
Although the layout and functions of Room 56, where Luonie and Sai are temporarily staying, are fully equipped, there is no restaurant in the small room. If you need to eat, you can only eat in several restaurants downstairs that cater to people of different races.
Otherwise, just buy some ready-to-eat foods, such as brown bread, sandwiches, or some clean greenhouse fruits.
After lying on the bed and relaxing comfortably for a while, Luo Nie rubbed his sore eyes and called out to Sai who was still playing on the "trampoline".
"Okay, Sai, stop playing. If you damage it, you have to pay for it." Luo Nie waved his hand and said.
"Oh, okay, brother Luo Nie." Sai muttered and reluctantly sat down on the bed.
"Listen, we have something important here. I have explained it to you before. Of course, I don't mind repeating it again. After all, you look only 10 years old and can easily be deceived." Luo Nian crossed his arms.
He complained.
"If brother treats me as a child, then he is just a child. After all, you are much stronger than me. Although you are a mechanical body, you can directly use the power of the Lord of Machines for fighting. I am afraid that your strength is no less than that of Xu.
You are a loser in the mid-level profession of Level 5. I admire you, and I listen to my brother." Sai had a smirk on his face and made a face.
There was no gloom and coldness at all when Luo Nie was attacked at the Jiuyuan Factory that evening.
"Just listen to me. I got news from the master before that their people have come to Sunida Town, and after your sister Natasha was executed, some of the lost people of the Tenin sect also came here.
According to my guess, they may want to pass through the Green Forest, and then go to the Silent Highlands to join the lost people at the 'Church of Hope'. I think if they go to a bar or the Explorers Association, they might be able to meet them. However,
I'm afraid there may be misunderstandings if my identity comes into contact with them, and," Luo Nie paused and said:
"Those who know you may think that I have kidnapped you. My plan is to go to the Explorers Association to get information first, while you go to the Lost Tavern, and then we will meet at the Sunida Underground Auction House. I
I just bought two tickets from a second-hand dealer for S$3."
As Luo Nie spoke, he took out two tickets printed by an industrial machine from the upper inner pocket of his cotton coat. He held the part stamped with red ink, took it out and waved it in front of Sayi.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "So you can meet my brother, the alchemy materials you want to buy and find out the information about the 'mask'?" Sai said excitedly, after all, the two of them are now on the same front.
, mutual goals must be unified.
"But brother, I suggest you go to the tavern, and I'll go to the Explorers Association. I heard some information when sister Natasha secretly 'talked' to brother Yato in the dark room." Sai stretched out his hand and scratched the golden
Short-haired said.
"Talk? Lovers?" Luo Nie showed an indescribable smile on his face.
"Yes. They said they planned to escape Sokra together after the ceremony for the [Order] was over. They planned to find some explorers to form a team while going to the Silent Highlands to join the church there. So, if my brother has any idea about his identity,
If you are worried, then I will go to the Explorers Association." Sai said calmly, his eyes suddenly became sharp, like a lone wolf wandering in the ice and snow wasteland.
"Are you alone? It's not impossible." Luo Nie has no doubts about Sayi's fighting ability, "But now that the rumors of the gods in the Silent Highlands have spread, there is a mixed bag here. I can't guarantee whether there will be strong ones."
Or people with extraordinary powers. The rules here unexpectedly do not prohibit killing. If you are in danger, I may not be able to help you in time." Luo Nie said with some worry.
"Then use this, the real MB-672, Shadow Time Bracer." Sai shook the wristband with strange patterns and symbols, then took off the one on his left hand and handed it to Luo Nie.
"Shadow Time Bracers? Wasn't it just published in the Socra City News? If I remember correctly, it should be something found in the new ruins of the Lost Swamp. Hasn't it been handed over to the Socra Sequential Monster Research Foundation?
Why is it in your hand? Besides, it doesn't look like it." Luo Nie looked at the small, featureless wristband and said.
"Brother, wait a moment." Sai said.
He took a deep breath, took the wristband with strange symbols from Luo Nie's hand, and with his hands limitedly surged the magic power of flames in his body, and murmured:
"I ask for permission from the Lord of Darkness."
"Give me limited fire power."
Immediately afterwards, tiny sparks emerged from his hands. Under his strong control, the sparks turned into several red fireflies swimming in the dark night, transforming into meticulous, dense, and orderly interlaced fireflies.
The silk thread completely wrapped the wristband.
Under the glow of red light and the surge of silk threads, the ordinary wristband unexpectedly expanded to twice its previous size, and the material also changed from soft cheap cloth to light red as the background color.
, a metal material made of four intertwined colors of blue, green, and yellow that exudes strong magic power.
And in Luo Nie's view, those chaotic and seemingly irregular symbols had now turned into the Tenyin sect's symbols in the shape of "there is a triangle in the square, and there is a hexagram in the triangle", as well as a piece next to it.
A pattern shaped like an hourglass.
Moreover, what surprised Luo Nie even more was that after Sai slightly collided the two wrist guards, countless tiny spark particles appeared on the left side of his body, and in less than a second, a formation of
A child who looks exactly like Say.
"This is the real Shadow Time Bracer, which can only be used by a child's body." The two Sayi said at the same time in nearly stereo.
"Okay, okay, Sai. I believe you. Put it away quickly. It will be bad if you are bumped into by other lost people or people with powers here." Luo Nie quickly stopped Sayi anxiously.
"Okay, brother." The two Sayi nodded at the same time.
Then, after he collided the two wrist guards hard again, everything in the room returned to its original state.
"Huh, you're trying to scare me to death. If anyone finds out that you are a monster, you don't know what will happen." Luo Nie wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a panic.
"Then, brother, take this. If an accident happens to me, it will release magic power or remind you through spirit formation. It can not only produce effects that span time, but also span space. This is Na
The only gift Sister Tasha left for me." Sai handed over the wristband that had returned to ordinary cheap fabric.
"Then this one of yours is real, and what is the one from the Sequential Monster Foundation?" Luo Nie asked doubtfully.
"It's a copy, it has the same function." Sai guessed.
…
Zine Empire, Sunida Town, Zhenxin Street, Lost Tavern.
Along the increasingly irritating street, staring at the crimson moon rising above the head and the darkening sky, Luo Nie held 20 Singapore dollars in his pocket and gently pushed the black paint on the edge of the turbid glass with his right hand.
Open the small door and walk straight into the noisy "Lost Tavern".
After entering the door and briefly looking around, Luo Nie discovered more than five different races. There were soldiers in military green uniforms carrying guns produced by the Sugra "Mechanical Element" factory; there were seemingly upper-class people wearing tuxedos or suits;
There was an explorer in simple clothes, overalls, and a yellow round cap; there was also a lost person with a delicate figure, but his whole body exuded a very uncomfortable "sadness".
There are even "human beings" who are covered in bandages but can move freely.
Of course, this also includes him, a product made by the Lord of Machinery.
As soon as he entered the door, Luo Nie didn't want to attract too much attention. He just pulled down his black cotton coat slightly, walked straight to the bar counter where the colors of yellow, green, blue and purple were changing and intertwined, and sat down.
"This guest, you look strange, what would you like to order?" said a tall man with a voice that sounded like a cross between a goat and a crow.
Luo Nie looked up and saw that the man had a fleshy face, a beard, and a black eyepatch covering one eye. He was using his not-so-flexible right hand, which seemed to be made by a machine, to drink among a pile of dazzling wine.
What was found in the bottle for the guests?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I, anything is fine. I am an adventurer." Luo Nie said straight to the point.
"Haha, adventurer. Then you are right to come here. There are wines from all over the world. If you are willing to pay for it, someone will provide you with what you want. My name is Capet, and I am a temporary employee here.
The person in charge can be considered half a boss. Of course, if the port on the Luyin River near Silent Highlands is opened, I will hand it over to others." Capet said, half drunk.
"Navigator? Or captain?" Luo Nie guessed.
"Forget it, it's just a guest." Capet moved his face closer to Luo Nie and said:
"What kind of drinks do you want to order? We have vodka made in the Zine Empire, and Kavas, the noble drink of the old Crusted Empire. If you want to try the whiskey from the Putoa Federation, of course.
If you are interested in the mysterious oriental power, liquor is a good choice."
"Then, Kawas, let's get familiar with it." Luo Nie said, handing Capet a NT$5 note.
Immediately afterwards, a glass of light yellow liquid that looked like horse urine was placed in front of Luo Nie. Along with it, there were two 2 Singapore dollar notes and a 50-cent silver coin.
Quality coins.
While Luo Nie was looking around and sipping the "noble" drink, a man wearing a suit, a tall hat, a tie and a dark red bow sat on his left without knowing it, with a twisted smile on his face.
Through the spirit detection of the aura and the passively released extension product of the magic power of plants and trees, it was found that in addition to the strong "sorrow", the man in front of him also had an extremely obvious and strong aura of a lost person that overflowed outwards.
