The Sorenson Range, which stretches thousands of miles across the southern tip of the Napalm continent and borders the territories of many countries, including the Kingdom of Rhine and the Kingdom of Shia, has very few areas that are free from mists and fogs due to the terrain or other special reasons.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiLoQAvDqt
Within the southern border of the Kingdom of Rhine is a canyon that cuts vertically through the mountains, avoiding the miasma and fog.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0Tvds7tiI
The canyon is about two kilometers in length, covered by heavy mists all year round above, and the river in the bottom of the canyon, tens of meters apart at the widest point, and more than ten meters at the narrowest point; dozens of wooden and stone houses embedded in the cliffs have been excavated and built on the canyon walls on both sides, and the suspension bridges between each house are built with chains and wooden planks; among them, the huge iron frame round house located at the top and spanning across the canyon at the widest point, and with hundreds of horizontally lined-up iron cables erected in the middle, is the most spectacular one. Among them, the huge iron frame round house located at the top and across the widest part of the canyon, with hundreds of iron ropes horizontally arranged in the center, is the most spectacular.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqawLeihQk
This stronghold belongs to a group of thieves ...... "Sacred Raven" that once made the merchants south of the Napalm continent fearful of fear.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4kznXXZIR
"The fine wines of the Kingdom of Rhine, the wheaten flour of the Kingdom of Shia, the spices of the extreme south ...... Just hold the main road through Sorenson and you'll have an unending supply of all the precious goods you can and cannot imagine. "35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTo4xzH9WF
In the roundhouse built on top of the wire, a man with deep eyes and a carefully trimmed beard grabbed a box of polar southland ginger that was in a crate and took a deep sniff.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7GaSsVc5K
"Of course, to a ...... witch demon like you, these things may not have much appeal."35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzexcyuNcN
Hal "Razor" Maxwell, the leader of the Holy Ravens, smiled evilly and looked at the guest sitting on the dark brown sofa, "Let me think about what black wizards like ...... Well, magic powders, spell-casting materials, alchemy materials, right? right, every spell caster likes those things, and I suppose you're no exception."35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcMqYwD0WE
"The guest of the Razor, the mysterious visitor that even the head of the Holy Raven had to receive personally, raised his head slightly.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGD2BLQ3Nd
This guest ...... who also remained cloaked in a heavy black cloak in the room was actually a skeleton.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNx53rlw8s
Apparently, this noble guest was different from unintelligent undead creatures, its bones were white and rounded, like fine quality jade, and its eye sockets were not pitch-black, but glittered with a soul-crushing, ghostly red light.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOktEkG6tPt
When it opened its mouth, even those who saw it with their own eyes would find it hard to believe that such a low, sheepish, mesmerizingly beautiful tone was actually coming from the mouth of a skeleton: "'Razor' Hal...... If all you want to say is just this kind of boring nonsense, then it's time for us to say goodbye."35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZ5FNqTOsc
Hal Maxwell's face was instantly a little embarrassed.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGtyfk1Arg
But this head of the Holy Raven didn't lash out, instead his words were more earnest: "Sir, if you are not interested in any of this, how about the friendship of a royal heir who is next in line of succession to the throne of Rhine?"35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn8kgMVSIF
The guest seemed to lose interest in continuing the nonsense, reached out and pulled down the hood of his cloak, his figure becoming illusory ......35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLa7EY3FU2
Hal blushed profusely and took two steps forward to try to pull his guest to a halt, "Wait, sir, please hear me out-"35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwAKkv9k5O
The figure of the guest sitting on the couch disappeared like a bubble, and Hal didn't even have time to grab the corner of its cloak.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9nBZFf0gf
"Hell no!" Hal froze, kicking the couch in annoyance.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsd7oEM9rZ
"Headmaster, there's, there's a black magician visiting!" Outside the house, the stuttering voice of a junior brother rang out.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCLhy6F5M7
"Fuck the black wizards, fuck all these fucking wizards!" Hal roared grumpily.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXe3UCoTmCo
"Oh?" The black magician-Yang Qiu, who was wearing a black cloak and carrying a dragon bone staff, pushed open the door of the round house with an expressionless face, "What, a black magician has even dug up the ancestral graves of a thieves' group?"35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CpBjkapvQ
Hal: "??"35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4WKDBTbVF
"First time meeting." Yang Qiu stepped inside graciously, pulling the corners of his mouth in a leathery smile, "'Razor' Hal, is it? Black Magician-Yang, hats off to you."35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPUw3JDtM7
"Yang ......?" Hal first looked confused, then thought of something and his complexion changed slightly, "You ...... 'Nightmare Butcher' Yang?!"35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiUNTqjJeC
"I didn't admit to that nickname." Yang Qiu's face darkened, "Just call me Yang."35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZVr6ROGgf
Bat Elder Brother, who was following Yang Qiu, had just kicked the thieving group's minions who had chased him in out of the house and closed the door, and looked toward Yang Qiu in surprise at his words.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EKnZRZZSV
Yang Qiu had to explain to his freshly minted bat-brother, "That's just a bad name given to me by the lunatics of the Inquisition for the sake of slander; I've done absolutely nothing to qualify as a butcher's deed."35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmEmPCpsz3
Bat-brother nodded half-heartedly.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iLqdP1hQl
"Let's get down to business, Hal," Yang Qiu soothed his young companion, turning his face to look at the leader of the Holy Ravens who had called him out on his infamy with a bit of a scowl, "I heard that you Holy Ravens had a failed firefight with someone, lost your territory and a lot of your men, and you're looking for a reliable partner, is that right? "35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvbvJU870h
Hal blushes ......35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsbbD1Ufo9
"This stronghold of yours is quite good, from here to enter and exit Sorenson do not have to worry about those disturbing miasma at all, even if you lose the outside territory, as long as you can still control this canyon, then it is not always reduced to a situation where the whole regiment has no food to eat. But ...... "Yang Qiu raised an eyebrow, "Even an outsider like me can see how important this canyon and this stronghold is, let alone your enemies of the Sacred Raven."35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFiTqjtGGz
Hal's expression changed several times, and he gritted his teeth, "If Mr. Yang is interested, we can give this canyon with both hands-"35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNnxqh46XK
"Not interested." Yang Qiu replied, "This canyon is indeed a good place to collect tolls, but it's not the only safe route into Sorenson, plus the geography here is so bad that it's not suitable for larger caravans, and even the six-legged lizards can't get through, so even if the geese are pulling out of the canyons, how much can they get out of the canyon?"35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqNCPmDz3U
Hal: "......"35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGvKw4knfE
"As far as I know, there is another safe route within the southern territory of Kingdom of Rhine. If we find a way to blow up this canyon, so that all caravans and individuals trying to enter the Sorenson Range from Kingdom of Rhine have to choose another route, and then open up some businesses along the route, such as supply depots and whatnot, isn't that better than having it both ways?" Yang Qiu spreads his hands.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc6PZhuMZX
Hal couldn't bear it and gritted his teeth, "Mr. Yang, are you just planning to come and mock us?"35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzcxZPYpcN
"Of course not." Yang Qiu said, "I just heard that the Holy Ravens, a thieving group that was once quite honorable, had decided to fight as a trapped beast, and didn't think it was necessary to let the dozens of you that were left go to waste."35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnmbCrN0nR
"...... Sorry, I don't understand what you mean."35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiUuenxmi8
"My meaning is very simple, Hal.In the end, those of you who always think of getting something for nothing ...... who always expect to earn a large amount of gold by fighting and killing are seeking nothing more than fine wines and food and obtaining enjoyment that exceeds the limits of the average person's imagination, aren't you? "35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZZ8Ozlrj9
Ignoring Hal's face that instantly became extremely ugly, Yang Qiu calmly spread his hands, "Skip the fighting and killing, skip the so-called large sums of gold coins, and show you a simpler and easier way that can also reap the enjoyment of wine and food and ensure that you don't have to face the high risks of a career as a thief and can have a stable and peaceful life, and it is with this kindness that I come to you. I, your friend."35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKouTGXdUCv
Amidst Hal's look of disbelief, Yang Qiu calmly pulls out a rum-flavored wine purchased at the supermarket at a unit price of 13.8 yuan, half a catty of duck in sauce and marinade sold in the deli section of the supermarket, a plate of buckwheat with preserved vegetables, and a piece of steamed bun at 20 cents a piece.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeyB6qryXr
Costing a combined total of less than forty dollars for a hearty meal smashed out ...... five hours later, the eighteen members of the original Holy Raven Bandits, including the leader, bagged up and followed Yang Qiu and Bat Lao out of Sorenson.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5YTNBbEVm
On the way along the Kingdom of Rhine borderline towards the Tarantan Wasteland, Bat Elder frowned as he observed the group of noisy thieves in a hurry for half a day, casting a disapproving glance at Yang Qiu.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTWIXpHqtw
"If it had just been 'Razor' Hal, it might have come in handy." The old bat brother, once a decent man, expressed his displeasure with the barbaric thieves so euphemistically.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9L3H8xDTK
"I understand what you mean, it's true that this rabble can't do much, but at least something is better than nothing." Yang Qiu, who had Bat Elder Brother ride on the same undead horse as himself, explained, "We have to receive a combined total of three hundred or so, safe and harmless, alien guests at the same time, and although they don't need food, drink, or shelter, if it was just the three of us, you, me, and Hal, we wouldn't be able to keep ourselves busy."35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeEQtszbvn
The old bat brother was silent for quite some time before he said quietly, "No food, no drink, no shelter ...... Your so-called guests are actually undead, right?"35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9QxE9yDHQ
"Well ...... there will be a big difference from the normal undead." Yang Qiu deliberated, "Anyway, you have to believe that they are very safe and harmless indeed, except for the fact that they can act a little out of character."35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5varP5bwTx
Batman wrinkled his brow and wondered how much credibility there was in the "safe and harmless" claim of the black magician nicknamed the "Butcher of Nightmares."......35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZXeWB9Jd6
After two days and nights of long distance trekking, nineteen natives of this world ...... intelligent NPCs, followed by Yang Qiu, arrived at the exile town in the middle of the Tarantan Wasteland.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS9JwOUffz
At this time, three full days of Earth time have passed since the "game shutdown".35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJ0rPS8Jqd
The original announcement said it was delaying the opening of the service by two days ...... But whatever, what game doesn't skip a beat.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bPKSvLJ4g
Yang Qiu, who decided to skip another day, called the nineteen intelligent NPCs, whose hearts were half-cold after seeing the real face of the town of exile, to gather in the town square: "From now on, we still have two more days (otherworldly time) to make preparations, first of all, I'm going to attach the same spiritual brand to all of you, so that all of you will enter into the branding matrix constructed by me! --"35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ahS1WyBUg
Hal was startled and stepped forward, "Wait, Jan, my brothers aren't contaminated ......"35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSNWkh3ICI
"I understand that having been active in Sorenson for a long time you are experienced and know how to hedge your bets. But rest assured, it is I, a black magician who never prays to the gods, who presides over the matrix, so you need not worry that your spirits will be added with inexplicable stigmas, unknowingly targeted by some unknowable being." Yang Qiu raised his hand and pressed it downward.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO9ZQCaZkm
Hal glanced at the old bat brother, wanting to say something.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZgf6xQWPG
Of course he believed that black magicians would not pull people to believe in a certain god like the magi, but ...... spiritual pollution is contagious, and the bat old brother with a pale face and eyes that often become strange is the kind of person who knows at a glance that his spirit is on the verge of breaking down, so to be in the same matrix with a person who may lose control of himself at any time with a spirit as the link. It was really unsettling to be in a spiritually connected matrix with such a person who could lose control at any time.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CnU9mXnoq
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for Yang, a high-ranking black magician, pressing the issue, Hal wouldn't even be this close to the bat elder brother.35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeHyjG4E78
"Don't worry Hal, we are not the only ones in this matrix, there will also be three hundred intelligent beings whose resistance to mental contamination is higher than you can imagine, so many reliable anchors, as long as they are not completely crazy can keep their sanity." Yang Qiu smiled, "And ...... it is best not to refuse, such as not in the same matrix, accidentally lit up the blood bar ...... by our guests found that can be attacked, is really will be cut Oh. "35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmwLmrtbLp
Hal & Bat Lao & Former Thieves:"??"35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLEUMmZRAb
Mr. Yang, didn't you say our guests are very safe and harmless!35Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsBYy32TTt
