Lin Xiao and Artolis continued to go out, and at this time they arrived at Rock Town. It was already drizzling in the sky.
Although Rock Town has a small population, it is still relatively wealthy due to the craftsmanship passed down from our ancestors. However, something seems to have happened to the town now.
What greeted Luo Ge and Artolis at the entrance of the town were two cute cartoon-looking raccoons, one black and one white. Of course, there was also a wooden notice board with a few words written on it: "Everyone on your journey."
People, this town is dealing with very serious matters and will not receive anyone for the time being. I am very sorry! "
But opposite the bulletin board are two raccoons...
"I am Mumu. Welcome to Rock Town. I hope you will leave wonderful memories here."
"I am Qiqi, welcome to Rock Town, and wish you a happy every day here."
The sweat-blooded beasts were held by the two people and stood quietly aside. However, when they heard the sound of the dolls, they widened their eyes curiously and looked at the two raccoon dolls and let out a low cry.
Although one black and one white raccoon has a mechanical voice, it conveys good wishes. Their body size is only about 1.2 meters, and their cute and silly appearance makes people feel better in an instant.
"They look like dolls, they look so interesting." Artolis looked at the two raccoons and said happily.
"Thank you for your compliment, I'm very happy." Black raccoon Mumu.
"Dear guests, the delicious food in Rock Town is looking forward to your visit." Kiki, the white raccoon.
"Ah! They seem to be having a conversation!" Artolis exclaimed in surprise. After all, he had been living with Mr. Merlin, learning chivalry and swordsmanship every day. He stayed there for the first time after leaving.
The place came outside and never saw the conversation dolls.
Lin Xiao on the other side didn't care. He had seen a lot of incredible things and was somewhat immune to them.
Then he remembered that he had encountered similar types of dolls in previous missions. This was indeed an amazing craft. No wonder it smelled of magic. What drove them was magic crystals and some complex magic drives. At the same time, it also
Being able to set responses to some of the most basic questions like artificial intelligence is a product of a very mysterious magical civilization. I just didn't expect to encounter such a rare product of a magical civilization in this world where civilization is not very advanced.
How intelligent are these two guys? Lin Xiao tentatively said to the two raccoons: "Lovely Mumu and Qiqi, tell me who is the most handsome man in the world?".
The two dolls did not answer and fell into a brief silence.
"Artolis, you see the most handsome man is right in front of them, but they are silent..." However, Artolis gave him an annoyed look.
Lin Xiao, the stall owner, said: "Okay, no kidding, this kind of thing is actually a very powerful magic doll. It's normal for a doll to answer a simple question."
"Young people have really good eyesight. You're right. They are indeed dolls made by us, but we didn't set up the function of finding the most handsome man in the world." The words were spoken by a man of about 40 years old who should be the town's doll.
A resident, he happened to come over and heard Lin Xiao's words, so he interrupted.
"I see. It would be a pity not to add such a function. It should be difficult to make such an exquisite doll..." Lin Xiao asked curiously after taking a look at the man.
The man proudly introduced it. "Through complex production processes and the energy supply of magic crystals, the magic dolls produced in Rock Town from generation to generation are exquisite and cute, and are loved by people from all walks of life. This is the biggest feature of our town.
and financial resources depend on them.”
"It's interesting. My name is Lin Xiao. This is my client Artolis. As you can see, he is a knight. He is on a journey now. I just don't know what happened in the town. It doesn't seem to be happening right now.
It will be convenient for us to enter." Lin Xiao pointed to the wooden sign that said no one was welcome and asked.
The man said with some embarrassment and helplessness: "There have been cases of theft in the town in the past few days. The magic crystal, an important energy source of the magic doll, has been stolen by someone. Seeing that the agreement with the Earl is coming soon, now the town is
It’s such a mess, I’m really sorry, you two should take a detour.”
"I see, but you see it's raining today, and there probably aren't many towns nearby. If we take a detour, I'm afraid we'll have to sleep in the wild. I wonder if we can go in and rest for the night." Lin Xiao requested.
Hearing this, the man looked at Lin Xiao and Artolis, and then said: "You two don't look like bad people, and there is also a noble knight. Our town has no reason to exclude them. In fact, everyone is
I welcome the guests very much, but things suddenly got messed up. My name is Sal and I am the mayor of this town. If you don't mind, you two can come to my house to rest temporarily. "
"Mayor Sal, thank you very much. Maybe we can help you with these troubles in the town." Artolis said enthusiastically.
"Really! That's great. Come with me first." Sal replied happily.
After hearing what Artolis said, Lin Xiao could only hold his forehead silently in his mind. This guy had a strong sense of justice, but even so, he didn't have a bad character. He glanced at Artolis secretly and said,
Seeing his handsome face, he is half as handsome as me...
Then the three of them, guided by the mayor, entered the town and walked to the mayor's house.
The mayor's house is a fairly decent bungalow.
After the three of them sat down, the mayor's wife was a generous and enthusiastic person, and soon she served delicious heart and black tea.
It felt like she really came to life. Lin Xiao drank the black tea and sat comfortably on a chair, feeling like she had come to life.
After resting for a while, the mayor got down to business, which was of course the theft of the magic crystal in Rock Town. At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the house, "Open the door, Sal, hide."
It's been a few days. Let me catch you today."
In a rather rude and impolite voice, Thrall showed an expression of embarrassment and helplessness on his face, and then he said to Luo Ge and Artolis: "I'm sorry, please wait, I'll hit this person first."
At Sal's signal, the mayor's wife opened the door anxiously.
A man as thin as a monkey came in. He walked over with an impatient look and shouted to the mayor: "Sal, you have been hiding here and there these days, looking for excuses to give you some mercy."
The day has come, can the goods requested by Lord Earl be delivered?"
"Mr. Pig, you also know that there was a thief in the town last week. The magic crystal that everyone paid a lot of money to buy was stolen. The thief has not been found yet. It's not that we don't want to hand it over, but we are really helpless. No.
You can't make a doll out of magic crystal at all, why don't you see if you can give it a few days of grace?" Sal showed a flattering smile, and then whispered to the mayor's wife: "Go and get the gift prepared for Mr. Pig.
"
The mayor's wife nodded, and after a while, handed Sal a heavy money bag.
Sal skillfully handed the money bag to Pigg and continued: "Mr. Pigg, how about you help me give the earl a good word again and give him a few days of grace?"
Pig's eyes flashed with greed, he put away the money bag, rolled his eyes, and the expression on his face softened a lot.
Pig: "Sal, you are quite good at being a good person. Of course, I, Pig, will try my best to help you. I have been delaying it for you for so many days. Now the earl is very angry. I don't know this."
Can I help you once?"
"Everyone in Rock Town is very grateful to Mr. Pig, but this time we ask Mr. Pig to take more trouble." Sal.
"It's all trouble, but the Earl is not easy to fool. Although Rock Town can't ship goods now, there are still people there. The mayor will get some pretty women to bring back to me for business. I will also take over the Earl's side.
Easy to explain."
"It's so shameless, Mayor Sal can't agree to them." Artolis stood up and shouted angrily.
Pigg had noticed the two of them a long time ago, but he didn't pay attention at first. When he saw someone trying to make trouble, he looked at Artolis with an unkind expression, and then said angrily to Sal: "What's the matter? It's natural for you to pay back debts, and you can't deliver the goods."
You have to pay for it. Sal, didn’t your town not allow outsiders to come in for a long time? What do you want to do by bringing people today?”
"Mr. Pig, if you have anything to say, please do." Lin Xiao did not want to show weakness in the face of other people's hostility. He stood up immediately, his tone was cold, but with a smile, and he looked at Pig.
Piggy was furious. What kind of guy dared to teach him? Piggy looked at Lin Xiao angrily. The two looked at each other. Piggy was just about to say something arrogant, but he found that the young man's eyes were like
There is a magic...
From the perspective of Sal and the others, Pig stood there motionless, and then cold sweat broke out from his forehead, as if something had happened.
On the other side, the moment he looked at the strange boy, Pig felt that the scene in front of him changed. On a desolate land, he was the only one there. The sky was pitch black, with only a black ring.
The crescent moon hung in the sky with a pale black light. This strange scene and darkness brought fear. Piggy ran desperately to escape, but no matter how he ran, he seemed to be in the same place, and then the sky started to fall.
What is it? Is it rain?
Then a drop of "rain" fell, and Pigg discovered black feathers. The feathers quickly disappeared. Then Pigg felt his eyes blurred, and then he saw the still black eyes of the strange boy, and the corners of his mouth.
He put on a mocking smile and looked around in fear. It was still a familiar scene here. He had returned to the mayor's house. It was so scary. This guy was a devil!
With this thought, Pig's face turned pale. Even when Sal called him, he ignored him. Instead, he took a few steps back, and then immediately rushed out of the door.
It seems that I have gone too far. I just used magic power on this annoying guy. The special ability of the blood of the fallen angel has the ability to intimidate ordinary people similar to illusions. Now Pig is so frightened by him and looks at Thrall.
With a helpless and uneasy expression on his face, Lin Xiao shrugged, looking like he might be in trouble again.
