The foreign affairs officer gave detailed explanations and took the trouble to answer any questions. In fact, Lu Ning could clearly feel that all the questions asked by everyone were within the scope of consideration.
The nobles did not prevent the treasures from the public ruins from flowing out, and they were free to use them as they wished. It seems that Ruhl was able to obtain the notebook because of this factor.
But this is of course conditional. Once this treasure is lost or out of control, the nobles have the right to recover it as soon as possible. In the same way, if the owner dies and the treasure becomes ownerless, the nobles will also go directly to recover it.
As for whether the nobles would use some special means to cause the death of the holder, the foreign affairs officer just said that you wouldn't believe it even if he said it, and it is better to keep the treasures yourself.
After verifying these things clearly, the foreign affairs officer took out a contract. The terms listed above were the same as mentioned before. Lu Ning, Yan Rong and Rang finally chose to sign it. The first treasure brought great enhancement to their strength. It is important that tourists cannot use it for exchange. But if you have a chance to get treasure after this, you should think about it carefully.
The foreign affairs officer put away the contract and left, and everyone returned to the outer city by car. Riding in such a car for the second time loses part of the novelty, and most people consume a lot of energy and need to rest as soon as possible.
"We will probably return to the wasteland tomorrow." Jean said after getting off the car, "I hope you all have a good rest. Although the outer city has experienced a lot of things, the main time we have to spend in the wilderness is still there."
"I know, see you later." Zhu Qinyuan waved his hand, and everyone found their own places to rest. Nothing happened this night.
After Lu Ning woke up early in the morning, she no longer felt the discomfort she felt yesterday, and her mental and physical fatigue had been completely gone. She glanced at the "Sudden Yesterday" that she had folded and placed on the bedside. This robe did not weaken its effect just because it was away from her. The relationship between the "treasure" and the holder was indeed not as simple as wearing it.
Of course, the situation on Yan Rong's side was much simpler. She didn't have to take off the brooch at all, and she probably didn't have to think about the ring. Lu Ning shook her head slightly, grabbed her robe and stood up to put it on, then put the long and short swords on her knees and looked at them.
After knocking at the Steel Heart Iron Seal, she had not had time to study these two knives carefully. In terms of fighting, they did show some special powers, but Lu Ning still planned to find out what kind of power they belonged to. .
The first is the power of the long sword to disintegrate itself into fragments, thereby extending the attack range. If it was just a matter of extending the range, Lu Ning would naturally choose a long-range weapon, but the role of the long knife obviously goes beyond that. She held the handle of the knife and concentrated on controlling the position of the fragments, making them float in the air and arrange them into different shapes. She could even lift the curtains with the non-edged parts. As long as the control accuracy was sufficient, these fragments were like her own fingers. Just as flexible.
After playing with it for five minutes, Lu Ning put the long knife into its sheath and began to observe the condition of the short knife.
The broken patterns on the dagger flickered and seemed unstable, but Lu Ning knew that it was actually very stable. In fact, she had already vaguely noticed it when facing the sacrifice foreign affairs officer. The invisible impact fired from his fingertips even made Yan Rong unable to fight back for a few seconds. So why did she use a short knife to catch it? After staying, he was only pushed back a few meters.
The fingertips slowly slid over the lines, and then pressed on the rainbow flower emblem near the handle. After Lu Ning pondered for a moment, he raised his dagger, raised his hand, grabbed the elemental pistol, and shot the dagger. The flicker of elements exploded into a shower of sparks on the metal, then quickly disappeared.
As the latest standard elemental pistol, no matter what kind of elemental bullet it is, it will not be blocked normally. Lu Ning did not use any special power. The elemental result should also be displayed on the short knife, ignited, discharged, frozen, no matter what kind of elemental bullet it is. Yes, but in fact it didn't appear at all.
Absorb energy.
Lu Ning turned the short knife in his hand and basically judged its characteristics. This knife could absorb the special energy of any non-physical attack. Most of the damage in the foreign affairs officer's attack was probably caused by something similar to a magic attack. After the sword absorbed it, the rest was just an ordinary impact, which was fine if he had to block it.
"Have you been admiring your weapons for a long time?"
Yan Rong passed by the door.
The two of them just chose a place like a fast hotel. Two curtains divided the room into three parts. There were simple structures like beds on the left and right sides. The so-called passing by the door meant that Yan Rong walked to the position where the curtains were not tightly closed and peeked inside. One glance.
"You're awake." Lu Ning turned around. Yan Rong's wounds had healed overnight. Hei Ke's physique was really convenient. But in this way, we don't know what happened to the wounds on Wen Dongyang's face to form.
After the two got dressed again, they went out to have breakfast together. There were some breakfast stalls in the outer city in the morning. Although the people setting up the stalls didn't look like serious working people, the food was still edible.
The time Wen Dongyang agreed on was in the morning, so the two of them rushed to the restaurant again without delay.
The patrol captain was already waiting there.
The sutures on his face still showed no signs of healing, but his demeanor seemed to be much more relaxed, and it was obvious that things had gone smoothly in the past two days. He just glanced at the treasures on Lu Ning and Yan Rong and said nothing more.
"We will return when everyone is here. No matter what you met here or what you know, we will still make killing the butcher in the wasteland our top priority."
"Understood."
"Although we are a patrol team, we are divided into two types: camp protection and external security. If you need it, I will give you the latter status. You can freely carry out the elimination of the butchers around the Anvil Camp, which is also convenient for you. Make some contribution to the camp.”
"Can I ask what the price is? It sounds much better than camp protection." Lu Ning asked.
"Danger. External alert, just like the name, you have to shoulder the responsibility of alerting powerful butchers, anomalies of unknown origin, or even malice from other camps." Wen Dongyang crossed his hands and smiled slightly, "If When it comes to deaths, the number of people on the outside guarding the area is the largest, even more than the team dedicated to killing butchers. Because when people want to attack a certain place, the first thing they have to do is kill the sentries."
"In other words, as long as you fight back, it's a good job, right?" Yan Rong said with a smile.
"That's exactly what it is, high risk, high reward."
“This is it”
The process of returning to the wasteland was the same as when we came here. We took a carriage and returned to the inn. When we walked out of there, the cold air and gray scene of the wasteland were already outside.
Because of this, the fire in Anvil Camp seemed much warmer. Lu Ning and others successfully passed the test and received a warm welcome from the people in the camp. Wen Dongyang is indeed very prestigious here. At least he has been recognized by him, which means he has been recognized by the vast majority of people. There were even two leaders from the camp participating in this welcome meeting. The so-called leaders are the real core of a camp, and there are only five in Anvil Camp.
Their names are Xishi and Snake Locust respectively. They both abandoned their past names and replaced them with names that were more suitable for them. Xishi is a brown-haired beauty with long hair that reaches her waist. She is dressed in a neat hunting suit, with a slingshot and ammunition pouch tied around her waist. She carries an octagonal stone stick covered with dense runes on her back. Snake Locust is a young man with withered yellow hair. He wears a bloated cotton coat that is two times larger than his body. His hands and feet are wrapped in bandages. He has no shoes. His eyes are sharp and he has not seen the weapons he carries.
The two of them simply said welcome to the joining of Lu Ning and others, but judging from the reaction of everyone in the camp, it was already a great honor. The party that followed was quite lively. The material reserves at the Anvil Camp were not as meager as the campfire. The fresh ingredients purchased from the outer city had a unique taste of the wilderness, whether for barbecue or soup.
Finally, Wen Dongyang announced to everyone that Lu Ning and others would join the external vigilance team, and reaffirmed to them in public that they fully understood the dangers of external vigilance. Lu Ning noticed that everyone in the camp had different reactions, but the two leaders didn't seem to care much.
"We've finally settled down this time, Lu Ning." Yan Rong held a wine glass around Lu Ning's neck and whispered in her ear, "Where are we going next?"
"Not going anywhere." Lu Ning said.
"Um"
"We need a period of time to familiarize ourselves with the forces here, including the Butcher. Next, stabilize first. I will consider the resources provided here in the camp and then make a little plan for us."
As the night progressed, people gradually dispersed. The two leaders had already left, and only a few people were still sitting around the fire. Lu Ning raised her hand, and a black and white photo fell from between her fingers. It showed the scene of this wasteland. What Lu Ning needed was to give this scene color during this period of time.
The life immersed in the battle is actually very simple. Except for Lu Ning, who is thinking more and more because of the sudden yesterday, many people have entered the camp life mode. The rule here is that there are eight patrols every ten days. Patrol shifts can be exchanged with those who are willing. However, Lu Ning and Rang both felt that they could just follow the camp's schedule first. There was no need to make people think that the seven patrols here were An individual is a small group. At the same time, for future considerations, each person's individual combat ability also needs to be enhanced to a certain extent. Weapons and treasures all need to be mastered proficiently.
It's a nice weather today.
There is no violent wind, and the light falling from the sky is slightly stronger. This is the good weather in the wilderness. Lu Ning walked among the gravel and withered grass, followed by two patrol members who were also from the camp. In just a few days, Lu Ning had gained some prestige, and the power of the treasure played an important role in it, and she I am also becoming more and more familiar with how to use the power of yesterday to accomplish maximum disruption while consuming as little energy as possible.
"There should usually be butchers in the stone forest over Lu Ning's side," a person behind shouted.
Lu Ning glanced over there cautiously. It was difficult to define the strength of the butcher. Alex and the three of them could kill the tough butcher together, but there were also powerful butchers who could inflict such horrific wounds on Wen Dongyang. , she always maintains a cautious attitude before fighting.
"Approach carefully, don't make too much noise." Lu Ning tightened her tight robe and started walking towards the stone forest. She had a lot of things on her hands to protect herself and move around, so she was confident in ensuring her own safety. . However, when she was about fifty meters close to the stone forest, she saw some faint red light rotating in the stone forest.
"Um"
Lu Ning frowned, opened her electronic eyes, and the data stream quickly entered her mind.
The reaction of the two core energy sources indicated that there might be two butchers inside. In addition, Lu Ning also captured a dozen people lying in wait on the slope on the other side of the stone forest.
It's a human being, not a kid. After these days of experience, Lu Ning can already tell what kind of creature it is through the nuances of the signal.
"Lu Ning"
She stopped, and the two people behind her naturally followed her, asking a little doubtfully. Lu Ning shook her head slightly to signal the two of them not to act rashly, then reached out and pulled out the long knife from her waist.
She has tested the range of the fragments, which is nearly one hundred meters. As long as she can take care of the accuracy within this range, she can make the fragments as flexible as her own arms. And with the help of the electronic eye's data collection and sudden yesterday's thinking function, she can now achieve such high-precision control that she can cover the entire stone forest within her attack range.
The blade fragments slid against the ground at high speed into the stone forest, and at the same time, a small number of them circled behind the dozen or so people. Lu Ning carefully controlled the fragments to kill several imps hiding in the stone forest through their heads without making too much noise. Then he found the butcher's position over there and stabbed him with two sharp sword blades.
One blade hit the target, but the other bounced off as if it hit something hard. Lu Ning shrank her fingers and retracted the sword blade. At the same time, a very sad cry sounded in the stone forest, and then several black lights shot out from the stone forest, and the place where it hit was reduced to a scorched state.
The dozen or so people hiding over there also took action instantly.
Lu Ning immediately took the other two companions and hid behind a slope, watching the activities in the stone forest from a high position. Two butchers finally came out after being attacked. One was a tall and thin humanoid, wearing a black gauze skirt and his face covered with layers of yellow paper; the other was a huge snail, which was originally a head. There is now a soft human face on the lower part of the body, and centipede-like hands and legs extend from the torso.
As the two butchers appeared, the people who were ambush there also rushed out.
"It's from Porphyry Camp," someone beside Lu Ning whispered.
