Today's weather is very comfortable. Although the sun has risen into the sky early, the temperature is not very high. The slight wind blows on people's faces, giving everyone a comfortable feeling.
Continuous explosions sounded in the air, but they did not cause anyone to panic. In the distant sky, with each explosion, large swaths of fireworks would be scattered, decorating every inch of space and falling on people's shoulders.
People were walking slowly, crowded and bumpy, and everyone walked very slowly. However, people did not become angry because of the slow speed. On the contrary, they only moved slowly and had obvious joy on their faces.
From the tall buildings on both sides of the street, long horns were constantly stretched out, hanging the iconic pennants of Anfa City, blowing passionate trumpets. Thousands of horns were blown at the same time, making the whole air seem All shaking.
A huge crowd was marching on the streets. Although they were not dressed in costumes, these residents of Anfa City, who usually wore linen clothes, were dressed in their best clothes, holding simple musical instruments in their hands, and playing music. As the music continues, there are dozens of meters long floats on the street, one after another, converging from the streets to the most famous main street in Anfa City - Maria Street, which is nearly a hundred meters wide. The streets are wide no matter where they are placed, but now that there are so many people, they still look overcrowded.
Behind the several-kilometer-long parade are tens of thousands of adventurers, players, who are all dressed in different styles. Of course, they are all very simple. They are marching with the team in a scattered manner. Today is a good day for them, and the city lord's award ceremony is... In the city defense battle held today, seven days ago, they fought desperately against monsters. They were really desperate. Now they can finally settle the rewards, and I heard that special rewards will be given to the players who performed well. This makes These players are even more excited. They all feel that they are the most dazzling one against the skeletons in the city defense battle and will definitely be favored by the city lord.
At this time, some of the excited players have already started recording. They want to use this to envy those guys who are not players in Anfa City. By the way, they can also open a charging function. They only need game currency and make a small profit!
Players who know each other well gather together in twos and threes, chatting, bragging and spanking are their daily operations. Although tens of thousands of players gather and march, there are still many residents of Anfa City around them. Listen. The noisy and completely incomprehensible adventurers were bragging. They didn't feel bad about it. Instead, they were very grateful to these adventurers because in the past few days, the adventurers had used suicide attacks to block the advancement of the skeleton army. The story has long been spread. Although these adventurers are strange existences that can be resurrected, they still awe people.
…
With the sun above his head and wearing a loose robe, Feng Zhan ran on the already very empty street, sweating profusely. Listening to the weak sound of gongs and drums coming from the distance, he couldn't help but complain in his heart, Gan This bad old man Doyle is very bad!
Last night, Feng Zhan received a prompt from the system to participate in the city lord's commendation ceremony, and this was also a task.

Note: It’s awesome that I got an invitation from the Lord of Anfa City. I always thought you were a country-like loser, and dog meat can’t go to a big table. I didn’t expect you to be in the limelight again. Of course, there is another fact that needs to be told. You, this is a system task, the same for everyone, understand! ? Of course, I have to remind you that the benefits may not be great when they arrive, but if they don't arrive, it will not bring shame to Anfa City. Hehe, by then, you will definitely be doomed.
Whether to accept!
Feng Zhan didn't understand it at the time, but he understands it now. The system notes will always give you terrible reminders. That night, Gandall actually invited Feng Zhan to drink gin wine and eat turkey. I don't know why. Gandall was suddenly so kind to him, and he was flattered as he ate. He didn't know what happened, but he just ate a chicken leg and drank half a bottle of wine that Gandall handed over. I wonder if my drinking capacity is so bad, I shouldn't be, how can this fruit wine be so strong, and I heard someone talking in a daze.
"Hmph, if you don't die for me, damn it, that's a huge pension!"
He heard that it was Gandaul and there was no one else, but it didn't take long for him to fall asleep completely. When he woke up the next morning, he saw that the sun was already hanging in the sky, but no Gandaul came to call him. I was still feeling strange, but suddenly I saw a countdown on the system interface, and I suddenly woke up.
System: Countdown 00:45:30
This was the countdown to the award ceremony. Feng Zhan didn't care about the others and immediately put on his clothes and ran out. When he passed the blacksmith shop, he saw Gandall leaning against the door frame while drinking Lilith. He handed over the steaming black tea and looked at himself with a teasing look on his face. His eyes seemed to be full of encouragement, but in Feng Zhan's eyes, it was this bad old man who was causing trouble for him.
Without paying attention, his forehead hit a tree. Feng Zhan immediately lost more than a dozen drops of blood. He rubbed his forehead and continued on his way silently. There was no time to waste, because based on the normal distance, there was no one For half an hour, he didn't even think about the central square. With his tongue hanging out, Feng Zhan felt like he was as tired as a dog. He saw that there were only 20 minutes left, even though he had already rushed a third of the way. , but even if I’m exhausted next time, I can’t get over it.
I was really tired. The rewards from the missions were not that generous, but the punishments were unbearable to look at. What was even more unlucky was that there was a bad old man playing tricks on me. He raised his head at a 45-degree angle and sighed, "The sky is unfair, good people." There was no reward, a tear silently flowed from the corner of his right eye!
…
Jiafa was sitting in the conference hall of the City Lord's Mansion, frowning a little, and looked at Luke, "Are you sure, Luke!"
Luke nodded and replied, "Yes, Lord City Lord, Luo Lan has not come back, and the person who sent a message to the royal capital a few days ago has also returned, and he did not see Luo Lan there either!"
Jiafa didn't speak, lowered his head and pondered. That night, he was very sure that Anfa City alone could not resist the skeleton army, so he immediately sent people to the royal capital, hoping to get support. If he used the space between the two cities The teleportation array should be able to get reinforcements quickly.
However, because the teleportation array suddenly received interference from those skeletons at that time, it was not stable. Otherwise, it should be possible to contact them faster, so we can only send people to the royal capital and let the space mage there take action. The teleportation array between Anfa City and the Royal Capital can be used normally.
However, he did not receive support from the royal capital. The trouble had been solved with the help of the Holy Bishop Church of Dawn, but now a new problem has arisen. Luo Lan has disappeared, and this is the person he sent to find support. , Now that I think about it, if the Holy Bishop Church of Dawn had not appeared, and the reinforcements from the royal capital would not have arrived, I am afraid that Anfa City would have been in ruins.
Jiafa couldn't understand. This was not the first time Luo Lan went to the royal capital, but now he was missing. What kind of trouble did he encounter? Did he encounter an army of skeletons, but the direction was wrong, and he arrived before the army of skeletons. Time left much earlier, and according to Luo Lan, even if he couldn't defeat him, he should be able to escape, not to mention he was still flying in the air...
Of course, he hadn't thought that Luo Lan might have betrayed him, but this didn't make sense at all. What could he gain by betraying Anfa City? Could he become a pile of pale bones? He couldn't figure it out for a while!
"Sir, the time is almost up!" At this time, a guard from the City Lord's Mansion reported outside the conference hall.
When Jiafa heard this, he woke up, stood up, and said to his eight subordinates, "Let's go, everyone, today should be a happy day!"
"Yes, sir!" Luke, Nueni and the other eight people said with smiles.
Soon, several people arrived outside the city lord's palace and looked at the huge square below. They felt a little emotional. After such a night, they never expected to survive and see such a sunny city again!
As the city lord of Anfa City, Jiafa lamented that it was so good to be alive. That night, he couldn't withstand the blow of the red-armored skeleton knight. All the bones in his body were broken, but his consciousness was so clear and completely He could feel what was happening around him, but he couldn't make any movements, even just say a word. But on the night when he was brought back to the city lord's mansion by Jess and the others, strangely, his The body suddenly seemed to be moisturized by a strange water flow, all the bones began to recover, and all the injuries recovered quickly and visibly to the naked eye, and the same was true for other people in the City Lord's Mansion.
Until the next morning, several people met and were even more amazed, but they were completely unable to explain what was going on. They talked to each other and could only attribute it to a miracle.
"Sneeze!" Gandall rubbed his nose and looked around. Is someone scolding him or thinking about him? It must be that damn boy who is talking bad about him. When he comes back, he has to take care of himself. OK!
Feng Zhan was shaking, and he also sneezed out. He thought to himself, which bastard was talking about him, cursing him to choke to death when he drank water!
"Residents of Anfa City, please be quiet. Please be quiet, our Lord!" A high-pitched shout immediately silenced the entire huge square.
"Uncle, uncle, please hurry up, the city lord's award ceremony is about to begin!" Feng Zhan heard this and immediately became anxious. Although there were still two minutes left, it seemed like it was about to begin. I am still some distance away from the central square, and I really can’t make it in time!
A tough middle-aged man with gray-white beards drove the carriage and smiled, and said cheerfully, "Don't worry, young man, the uncle is very skilled. If he says it will arrive in one minute, it will never be one minute and one second." , Sit tight, young man, uncle is going to speed up! Drive! Drive!! Drive!!!"
Shaking the reins, the middle-aged man's flatbed carriage, like a machine that was wound up again, swooped out, making a creaking sound as if it was about to fall apart at any moment!
Feng Zhan was on the unobstructed car board at the back. A guy had an intimate contact with the back of his head and the car board. He was dizzy for a while, and a few drops of harmless blood fell out, but he couldn't care less. Now, cling to it, praying that you can reach the central square!
Seeing that the time prompted by the system was decreasing little by little, Feng Zhan suddenly felt a little cold!
00:01:00
00:00:59
…
00:00:02
Suddenly I realized that time was running out, and my heart suddenly felt cold. What was going on? Could it be that I just announced that my mission had failed and that time was running away?
