The bodies of Dorian and Bingham were not found in the end. With the help of everyone, Alex collected the remains of everyone in the bonfire and buried them under the low cliff.
He took out a bag from a hidden stone crevice, which was not very big. It contained the harvest of the past few days of cleaning up the butcher. Six butcher cores, and odds and ends.
"If we don't find those two children, we probably won't be able to determine the origin of the murderer." Jean whispered, "I remember that there were originally five combat members here at Zhufeng Bonfire. The three of you plus Cai Shen should still be there. There is one, right? That person isn’t here either?”
"Yes, Edmond is not here. He took our hunting harvest to the outer city before. I don't know when he will come back." Alex regained his composure after a period of time, but there was still a heavy look on his face. of sadness.
"We can discuss this issue on the road." Zhu Qinyuan said.
"On the way? Where are we going?" Alex asked in surprise.
"The bonfire that has been extinguished has no meaning even if it is lit again. Do you think we can rebuild this bonfire with just a few of us? In fact, the meaning of this place to us is not that great." Zhu Qinyuan was completely merciless. He said frankly, "We fulfilled Cai Shen's conditions, but we didn't get the information we wanted. Because something like this happened, we can understand, but we have to go to the next place to get the information we want to know. What about you? Just Can you hold this bonfire on your own?"
Alex lowered his head.
"In addition, we need to find the whereabouts of Dorian and Bingham, and contact the person you mentioned... called Edmond? I don't think it is a good idea to stay here. What we urgently need is to deal with the black engraving rules. Can you provide us with your understanding in this regard?" Yan Rong's tone was slightly softer, "Let's find a way to find a camp, but it will be much easier for us to join, and we can even use some of the camp's conditions to find people. , isn’t it?”
After everyone took turns to use various methods to persuade, Alex was finally persuaded.
"The closest one to here is the Anvil Camp. It's very big there, and as long as you have enough combat power, you can be a low-level black knight. But... you have to promise me that we will find Dorian and Bingham, and Revenge for Uncle Cai and the others!"
"Of course, even if it didn't take long, we joined the bonfire, didn't we?" Jean said with a smile.
Lu Ning was watching from the side as these old fools used their words to deceive people.
Apart from being somewhat confident about Yan Rong, she didn't think that everyone would definitely abide by the agreement, or that they would only help Alex when there was still room. Now the only information that the campfire can obtain is this child, and once they can join the camp, tourists will have many ways to exchange different information to develop tasks.
But she wouldn't say a word, because she would probably do the same thing herself.
"By the way, tell us, what is the pattern of events like the dismal fog and the red alarm? We don't want to be in danger again without knowing anything." Yuan Jie avoided the topic and began to distract Eric. Si's attention.
Everyone left the low cliff where the wind bonfire was stationed. This place would probably be occupied by someone else soon, but that didn't matter.
Alex also talked about these emergencies to the best of his knowledge.
Whether it is the bleak fog or the red alarm bell, they all come from the nobles naming them after themselves, which is equivalent to indirectly admitting that they are related to these phenomena. The Seven Nobles claim that these phenomena are attempts to cope with some major disaster, but of course no one knows the specifics.
This obvious sense of conspiracy cannot deceive tourists at all, but it is enough to deceive ordinary people. After all, the aristocratic rule has established a considerable degree of prestige over a long period of time. When Lu Ning asked about the specific incident, Alex answered happily.
Noble Mist corresponds to bleak mist.
Noble Alarm corresponds to the red alarm bell.
Noble Dacapo corresponds to the rotary train.
The Noble Nest corresponds to the floating bird's nest.
Noble Eyesight corresponds to unlimited viewing distance.
The noble Samurai corresponds to the way of the warrior.
Noble Sacrifice corresponds to glorious sacrifice.
Among them, the first four will affect the wasteland, and the last three will all happen in the outer city. As for the specific situation, Alex only knows the status of the first four. The rotary trains are not cyclical, but people who have obtained the tickets can take the trains at some fixed "stations". These trains can enter the royal capital, so they are valuable. The Floating Bird's Nest are some mysterious towns that occasionally appear in the wasteland. They have different customs and unique residents, but the language is the same. These towns are usually suspended about three meters above the ground, but the residents there are not Unaware. Because they can exchange for some good things from the town, the Heikes also like this unexpected event very much.
"Hey, Lu Ning, what do you think these nobles want to do? Maintain their rule?" Yan Rong discussed with Lu Ning in a low voice, "I always feel that there is a conspiracy, but I am not particularly keen on this."
To outsiders, it seems that things are being done openly. Lu Ning muttered silently in her mind before answering Yan Rong: "Anyway, this number corresponds to the seven badges we want to collect. I can't think of any surprise that each noble should have one. In addition, most of our main and branch lines also have There is relevant information, there is only one Dark Sage left, maybe go to the camp to find out the information."
During the questioning on the road, the only person who knew nothing about this name was Alex. Since the three locations in the side missions can only be completed after entering the inner city of the royal capital, they should also be visited.
Lu Ning mentally sorted out the task list, and finally felt that the action in this scene was a little clearer.
After walking for about an hour, a camp could be seen in the distance on a higher ground.
"tent?"
"The campground is different from the bonfire. It can be moved at any time. Although mobile homes are sold in the outer city, the hackers still find tents more convenient." Alex explained, "I have to remind you that the campground will not go to the bonfire. territory, but the camps will fight over a relatively 'fertile' hunting ground."
"Isn't it because they look down on Bonfire's territory?" Lian Bisheng muttered in a low voice.
After approaching the camp, you can see the difference between the people here and the campfire at a glance. The people patrolling outside the camp were all wearing light and bright armor and sophisticated equipment, and they all had more than one piece. The people who occasionally walked by in the camp also moved quickly, and both men and women had a fierce temperament.
There are more than a hundred people in the Anvil Camp. If all the members have such fighting ability, it is easy to understand the gap between the camp and the bonfire.
As soon as everyone approached, they were stopped by the patrol.
"Who is it? Ahead of Anvil Camp, tell us your purpose!"
"We are people from Camp Fire not far away. The campfire has encountered changes. Now we are all here. We hope to join the camp and get shelter." Alex said, "I heard that Camp Anvil has been recruiting combatants for a long time. As long as Anyone who is interested can come and try it.”
Several people in the patrol looked at each other, and one of them grinned and walked out.
"Boy, you are right, but we have never heard of your bonfire, and we don't know what your records are. It's not enough to bring out a few cores here. Only strength can speak for itself. Do you understand? What if we just do it casually? Everyone is put in and tested, and they will probably be expelled from the camp tomorrow.”
"Do you want to fight?" Alex asked in a deep voice.
"That's right." This member of the patrol was quite tall and held the handle of the weapon on his shoulder with his backhand. "You have three people. If you can defeat me, I will let you in."
"That's what you said." Yan Rong was happy when he heard it, "One on three? Then don't regret it, I'm going to take action!"
The spear shot out like a dragon, and Yan Rong attacked as fast as ever. At the same time, the big man instantly pulled out his weapon. It was not an ordinary sword, but a triangular prism connected to the handle, with a length of It was almost like an ordinary sword. He knocked away Yan Rong's spear tip with his backhand, and immediately turned his hand and stabbed Yan Rong's wrist. Yan Rong immediately used her spear to press hard, directly covering Tianling. Her advantage of being one inch long and one inch strong was fully utilized. Within three moves, she suppressed the opponent several times and made him return to defense, leaving no room for attack.
The patrol team stood aside and laughed.
"Yujiro! You can't do this! You made bold words to fight three, but you were suppressed like this by one person!"
"Tsk, if you lose, the captain won't punish you by washing clothes for three days."
"Hey! You're welcome over there! Two more of you will give him a good beating!"
Lu Ning was speechless for a while.
In fact, she could see that neither Yan Rong nor the other party used their full strength, but only used strength and moves. This Yongjiro was not a weakling. Yan Rong represented the peak of the strength of the tourists in this class distribution center. Although he could not steal When it comes to attacking, it is unusual to be able to hold on for such a long time.
This is just a member of the patrol. There must be stronger people in the camp, and there are probably many ways to strengthen oneself in this world.
At this moment, Yujiro yelled: "I'm going to use my gun! Be careful!"
After that, he blocked Yan Rong's attack again, hooked his fingers, and a pistol that was too small for him appeared in his left hand. While pulling the trigger, a cluster of green light beams focused on Yan Rong. On the body.
Unexpectedly, Yan Rong's gun handle slightly shifted and caught the beam. Half a second later, the green beam exploded, causing a large group of sparks to explode on the gun handle. However, it did not cause any damage. Yan Rong then jumped. The tip of the gun passed diagonally from below and hit the pistol in his left hand. Yongjiro quickly retracted his hand, but this time he was really distracted by protecting the weapon. He didn't realize that Yan Rong was making a fake move. The gun suddenly turned around midway and stopped. Less than half an inch from his throat.
"You win." Yujiro said simply.
Yan Rong smiled and put away his spear. Since Yongjiro had spoken out before, it was impossible for him to keep his words now. After shooing away the group of laughing companions, he put away his weapons and waved for everyone to follow him in.
"Awesome." Lu Ning whispered as she passed by Yan Rong.
"Taking advantage." Yan Rong was also very proud.
"What?"
"You also saw that he lost in saving the weapon in the end. After all, this was a sparring match and he was unwilling to let the weapon be damaged, but it is another matter in a real battle."
"Can this still happen?"
"Different battles have different ways to win, Lu Ning, you still have a lot of experience to learn about the martial arts type, hahaha."
Yongjiro led seven people into a tent, where there was a young man sitting cross-legged.
He was supposed to be very handsome, but unfortunately a large number of sutures ruined his appearance. This young man did not wear metal armor, but a sleeveless black close-fitting leather armor, so everyone could see that his arms were also clothed. Covered with a large number of such sutures, these hideous scars even look like severed wounds.
"Captain! There are a few here who want to join the camp!"
The young man was reading an old book. Hearing this, he raised his head and said, "You have been in a fight."
"Try your skills. Well, at least this spear-wielding one is not easy." Yujiro grinned.
"I know, go out, I will take care of it." The young man closed the book, and Yujiro quickly cupped his hands, turned around and ran out of the tent.
The young man stood up and looked at everyone carefully one by one. His eyes were very sharp, but except for Alex, the tourists didn't care.
"I am Wen Dongyang, the captain of the patrol team. For those who are qualified, if you just want to become a temporary member of the camp, you only need my permission. There is no need to meet the leader. Of course, you can only become a member of the patrol team, and then It's up to you to do whatever you want. Of course, if you have that confidence, I can also help you report to the leader, and maybe you can become the official black knight of the camp, but the test will not be at the same level."
"Sounds like we still have to go through some kind of test?" Jean asked.
"Yes, even though you can defeat Yujiro with just one person, there are still doubts about whether you can cooperate with others in the camp. Even if it is just a combat member, we cannot let in anyone who may harm our companions. Oh, of course. , if you intend to do that, I promise to hang the body on the railing outside the camp in five minutes."
"What do you need us to do?" Alex asked cautiously.
"Simple, you have also seen my body. Hei Ke's body can repair itself after killing the butcher. It becomes like this purely because of insufficient repair energy. Of course, I will not let you accompany me. Killing the butcher, I can do this kind of thing as long as I find free time. The important thing is that there are still some things to do in the camp." Wen Dongyang tapped the table lightly, "I want you to accompany me to the outer city, published by Noble Eyesight I have received a bounty, and our Anvil camp has grabbed one of the spots. If you can help me eat most of the bounty from this bounty, and perform well enough in the process, I will allow you to become temporary members here. .”
"Excuse me..." Lu Ning raised her hand, "What is the difference between a temporary member and a formal member?"
"Are you thinking about this now? Yes, it is related to your own interests. There is no difference in various basic affairs of the camp. The difference is that temporary members cannot participate in camp affairs decision-making, cannot obtain confidential information in the camp, and cannot use the camp. Wen Dongyang smiled, which made the sutures on his face squeeze together. "The arsenal refers to the powerful weapons purchased by the camp at a large price. The transaction of ordinary weapons is not included. Are there any questions? ?”
"When will we set off?" Yan Rong asked.
"You are still very happy. I will give you a day to rest and set off tomorrow morning. During this time, you can walk around the patrol tent area, but you are not allowed to leave this area, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences."
