Chapter 125: The Magical Legend of Journey to Another World (Fourteen
At this time, everyone had no way out. They could only continue walking towards the city. Along the way, they were bustling everywhere. Humans, elves, orcs, sub-gods, sub-demon, and almost all races on the mainland could be seen in this city. Lulu even saw a huge sub-dragon being led by a sub-god. www..com
Although she just escaped death, Avya couldn't help but exclaimed,
"Where is this place? There are so many races gathered together."
Although there are various races on the continent, each race has its own fixed gathering place and sphere of influence. Even in some well-known adventure places and big cities, a certain ethnic group accounts for the majority. However, no one is like this city. At first glance, all races are almost equally distributed.
"Find a place to settle first. Luke can't afford to delay." Matthew didn't care what the city was like. He only knew that Luke was the one who needed the most attention right now.
As soon as he said that, everyone stopped paying attention to the city. They almost saw a hotel with a flag of knives, forks and sheets. Matthew rushed over first. Jin quickly chased the carriage, but after all, the speed of the carriage Not as good as a camel or horse, you can only lag behind.
"Boss, give us a room first and find the priest! We have seriously injured patients here."
As soon as Matthew stepped into the hotel lobby, he kept making requests.
The hall was very dark, with only an oil lamp shining a faint light on the counter, so quietly that you could hear a needle drop.
no one? Matthew frowned, without hesitation, turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly, there seemed to be a cold wind blowing behind him, which made Matthew's skin suddenly appear a few times. The voice shouted in greeting.
"Hey, welcome, guests. How many of you are there? Are you going to eat or stay in the hotel?"
Matthew turned around, and at some point, there was a little old man behind the counter. He was short in stature, hunched over, with dense wrinkles on his face, and a cold smile. His eyes were so narrow that he couldn't see his teeth. However, he was completely mismatched for his age. He was perfectly healthy and even glowed with a white light. Under the flickering of the oil lamp, his whole face was flickering, making him look extremely ghostly.
Matthew couldn't help but was startled. He felt that this man was full of weirdness. He almost wanted to leave, but thinking of Luke, he couldn't care less. He said his request again in a deep voice, but saw The old man said "ouch ouch" a few more times in a leisurely manner. Matthew was so anxious that he wanted to punch him before he replied with a smile.
"This guest is embarrassing me. We don't have a priest in this city."
"No? Then anyone from the Light Church can do it. Go find it quickly!" Matthew was surprised, but didn't go into details and just said again.
"Well, there is no Light Church." When the old man said this, his tone was a little strange, containing some kind of hatred that went deep into his bones, but Matthew didn't hear it, and he wasn't in the mood to listen. His face darkened. growled.
"There are herbs, gauze and boiling water, right?"
Originally, for Luke's injury, the God-given blessing of light magic was the best and fastest way to heal. No, the natural magic of water and elves also had effective healing magic. Avya was a fairy, so she would naturally be able to do this kind of healing. Magic, but given her low level, it still had to be used in conjunction with medicine to be effective.
"Yes, we do, and we also have magical herbs that have miraculous effects on stopping bleeding and reducing inflammation." The old man said enthusiastically as if he was selling.
"Then hurry up and get ready!"
"Yes, Auf, we haven't taken the guests to their rooms yet."
"Yes." A gloomy voice suddenly sounded from beside Ma Xiu. He was startled. He looked sideways and found a person standing three steps away to the left, as if he had appeared out of thin air. He had a skinny figure and dull eyes. He looked like he was going to die.
It was such a ghostly place, full of weirdos, Matthew murmured in his heart.
"Matthew, you are running too fast, we can't keep up."
Avya's voice came from outside the door, Cellululu and the others also arrived, and Jin walked in with Luke in his arms.
Luke's injury could not be treated by so many people. After sending him to the room, Jin said to Matthew.
"Matthew, I'm going to go out and walk around."
This city really needs to be explored, so Matthew immediately agreed: "By the way, where are the people who are looking for Plantagenet now?"
"I'm coming with you." Will said hurriedly to Jin.
"Yes." Jin nodded. Of course, Cellululu would not leave Jin's side, and the three of them left the hotel.
Standing on the street, Will asked blankly: "What should we do next?"
"Let's take a walk first." Jin replied, then started walking away, seemingly without any purpose. He just walked from the top of the city to the end of the city, and then from the end to the end of the city, looking around everywhere. Will's head was full. He followed behind in confusion, not knowing what his intention was.
The street was very lively. People were rowing and drinking in the pub. A few people were pushing and arguing loudly on the street, as if they were ready to take action at any time. Merchants buying and selling goods were shouting hard, and buyers were bargaining enthusiastically. In the square, old people were Resting by the fountain, watching the children playing with kind eyes, the restaurant was bustling with people, the demon pets and riding animals were swaying in the animal pen, snorting and neighing, the flow of people continued to merge into the street, and then left again in the blink of an eye, everything was... So vibrant.
Just wandering around like this, circling the entire city four times, a flash of realization suddenly appeared on Jin's face, but then he fell into thinking,
After observing for a while, Jin walked towards the old man sitting by a fountain. He smiled kindly and seemed to be chatting casually:
"Old man, the weather is nice today. This is really a nice place, isn't it?"
"Yes, no matter where I go, my hometown is the best. I have never seen a city as good as Escagar." The old man smiled kindly, with some pride on his face.
"Yes, but when you are young, few people are willing to stick to their hometown. I see that there are a lot of people here, and there are a lot of people from other cities. This is the first time I have seen so many races gathering together."
"Yes, yes, everyone is willing to come to Eskaga." The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"Oh? Where are the people there? Eskarga is in a special location, surrounded by large swamps, so it's not very convenient to communicate with neighboring countries." Jin laughed and asked casually, But the old man was talking like a chicken. He kept repeating the same information over and over again, with only one content, which was that Esca is good.
Jin Jian couldn't ask anything else, so he chatted for a few more words and stood up to say goodbye. Then, he started looking for people to chat with, whether they were pedestrians on the street, restaurant waiters, tavern drinkers, grocery shopping aunts, salesmen, street children, Mercenaries, magicians, human race, sub-demon race, elves, all kinds of things, no occupation, no race, just chat for a few words and then change people.
Will was confused, but while Celluloid was listening, he also discovered something was wrong. Just chatting here and there, the three of them had already visited the city again, and stood in the square again. , Jin scratched his head, touched his chin, and sighed with some distress.
"It's really not easy to handle."
"Brother Jin, I've been looking around for a long time. What have you seen? Is there anything else that can't be solved?" Seeing that Jin seemed to have finished his observation, Will was finally able to speak out all his questions.
Jin half smiled bitterly and said with a headache: "I see something, but I haven't found a solution to the problem at all, so it's difficult to solve it. If it's suspicious, it's probably only..." His voice gradually dropped. , but his eyes fell on the City Lord's Mansion on the high platform on the west side of the city.
After a moment of confusion, it seemed that Will had no idea at all, and Lulu seemed to understand only a little bit. Jin turned around and walked towards the hotel, saying:
"Let's talk as we walk. Who should be controlling this city? It seems that the population is countless, people come and go, and it is connected in all directions. In fact, it is all an illusion. The movement patterns of these people are fixed according to a certain time pattern."
Jin pointed to the iron shop next to him, where two people were discussing an ax with the boss.
"No, did you see those two mercenaries over there? When we went around the city for the first time, they were eating in the east of the city. During the second time, they were shopping at the iron shop near the square. Oh, I remember that time What they were discussing was swords. On the third round, they quarreled in the tavern in the south of the city. On the fourth round, they went to the east of the city to eat again, although the food seemed to be different. Now, they are still buying things at the iron shop. This time it turned into an axe."
"The boy in the stable over there was a waiter in the herbal shop in the first circle, a stable boy in the second circle, a bartender in the third circle, and a passerby in the fourth circle. No, we met again at the stable. , I estimate that only a few thousand people can survive in this city, but there are tens of thousands of people acting there.
"Really, let me see," Will's eyes widened like bells, looking back and forth at those people, patting his head and thinking hard for a long time, and finally shook his head in frustration. "I have no impression at all." But then his eyes lit up again, full of admiration:
"Jin, you are so good that you can become a thief."
Jin immediately sweated profusely.
Cellululu observed for a while and had to admit that she didn't remember these people at all. She was slightly depressed and wondered if she was stupid, but she cheered up again. At first glance, the entire city's population combined was no less than It’s hard to count tens of thousands of people, let alone clearly remember when and where everyone was doing what. Even if it is a repeated performance, a team of several thousand people is enough to confuse people. How can you find this? The strange thing is that his uncle is too powerful.
At this moment, Jin's image suddenly grew taller in Cellululu's eyes, and she felt that her uncle was really smart. Involuntarily, a complex that could be called hero worship quietly emerged.
Jin didn't realize that his niece glanced at him again, and just continued:
"So many people have asked. Apart from knowing that this city is called Escagar, the people here know nothing about the outside world, or what is going on on the mainland. When asked how to get out of the swamp, how to get out of the city, they don't know what to say. What's more? One thing is that none of them knew the whereabouts of the Plantagenet Knights. How could a team of several hundred people not have a single witness? Only someone was secretly manipulating it to be so neatly unified, but they didn’t know who they were. , and what means were used."
Jin's face was a little dark, and Celluloid and Will were said to be in depressed moods. The group returned to the hotel and first went to check on Luke's condition. Avya and Matthew were also with them. Luke's shoulder had been fully bandaged, and he was leaning on the bed with a pale face. Celluloid went over to greet him with concern, and saw some green and sticky herbs on his bandage, which gave off a strong grassy smell.
"Is it Rhubarb flower field and Lingluoshaxingcao? They are both very good anti-hemostatic and anti-inflammatory drugs." Cellululu said casually.
"You are also familiar with herbal medicines. They are all bought by the owner of this store. They are much more effective than ordinary ones. There is another one that I didn't even recognize, but it is really effective in stopping bleeding. As soon as it was applied, Luke's blood stopped. Stop it." Avya said with a smile, her expression also relaxed a lot.
"That's great. Luke's injury will definitely recover quickly." Cellululu said sincerely.
Jin told Matthew what he had just discovered on the road, but unexpectedly, when Matthew heard Jin say that no one knew the whereabouts of the Plantagenet Knights, he laughed nonchalantly and looked at Jin's confusion. She looked at him before explaining.
"It doesn't matter if you don't know. It doesn't matter what the bastard behind the scenes wants to do. Anyway, we have found the Plantagenet people. What a coincidence, they are also staying in this hotel, just above us."
"What?" Jin was really surprised. However, in such an unknown place, it would be good to have a little more strength, not to mention the famous Plantagenet Knights.
"Have you met them? Did they find any clues to leave?" Jin asked the most pressing question at the moment.
"They don't have any clues." Matthew frowned, "Let's discuss it with them after dinner."
"Yeah." Jin nodded.
Dudu~ There was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Matthew called.
The boy I had seen in the store just now came in, holding three trays with steaming food.
Matthew explained: "Luke was inconvenient, so I asked the waiter to bring the food, and Avya and I ate here with him."
At this time, the boy also spoke gloomily. "Guest, dinner is ready. Please come downstairs to eat."
Leaving the three members of Matthew's team in the room, Jin went downstairs with Celluloid and Will. Pojin was already waiting in the hall, but besides him, there were several tables of people wearing gold finches. Jin felt real when he saw the person in the flower's knight armor. Just as he was about to sit down, he suddenly realized that the number of people was wrong. It was much less than what he had seen at first. Moreover, he did not see the Captain Chrysler who impressed him well. Of course, Jin The steward of the Bird Flower family, Mr. Magician, and the two young ladies were not even visible.
Jin thought for a moment, approached one of the tables, and greeted them cheerfully.
"Hello, we all came from Rio Road. Thanks to you for clearing the way, we were taken care of a lot on the way. I want to say thank you to your leader in person. I wonder where he is?"
The knights at this table seemed to be slow to react. After a while, the one closest to Jin raised his head and smiled. However, his smile was very stiff and his tone was a bit harsh, but his words were very humble.
"Where, where, we should take care of each other, there is no need to say thank you."
Jin insisted on saying thank you, so the knight reasoned that his eldest daughter was unwell, so the leader of the group accompanied him. Even the magician and the housekeeper were with him. The other two distinguished guests, who were not convenient to see outsiders, were actually Without waiting for Jin Xi to ask, he had already pushed all the main characters away.
The reason was very legitimate, and Jin didn't see any problem, so he had to sit down with Celluloid, Will, and Poggin. The boy moved around quickly, and after a while, everyone in the hall had something in front of him. A set meal consists of two pieces of toasted golden bread, a large piece of steak, a bowl of chowder made of vegetables and meat, and an unknown golden fruit.
"Finally, I have something hot to eat. It's uncomfortable to chew dry food." After being nervous all day, Pojin was also tired at this time. When he saw the delicious food, he grabbed a knife and fork and started eating.
Will was not left behind. He picked up the soup bowl and poured it into his mouth. In the blink of an eye, the bowl of soup had reached the bottom. He licked his lips and cheered.
“It tastes really good.”
Bojin chewed the food hungrily, waving the knife and fork quickly, sending bite after bite into his mouth, and took some time out of his busy schedule to say something.
"It's not bad at all. It's so good. The meat is so tender and the sauce is as delicious as I've ever tasted. Compared with the last time I spent 300 purple gold coins at the restaurant, the food there was just rubbish. .”
The remaining Plantagenet knights did not eat the meat, but first aimed at the golden fruit. Seeing that they each had one in their hands and gnawed greedily, with intoxicated looks on their faces, it was obviously very delicious.
Although he felt that these people's behavior was a bit exaggerated, even a little strange, Jin didn't think too much. He picked up the bread and started eating it. After eating, he understood how these people felt. It was just ordinary toast, but they actually made it. It's so soft and fragrant, and the aroma of butter is so strong that you can't wait to swallow it all in one bite. Now, Jin can't wait to try other delicacies.
"Ugh~"
The violent sound of vomiting interrupted Jin's action of cutting the steak. He turned around and found that Cellululu had turned her head away, bent over, and was vomiting wildly.
"Lulu? What's wrong with you?" Jin Li immediately threw away his knife and fork, patting Cellululu's back carefully to help her calm down, and asked anxiously.
"It's so disgusting and so uneducated. Why do you do this when others are eating!" Pojin also put down the tableware, but his face was full of disgust and he complained loudly.
Jin didn't stop, he still kept his hands and feet gentle, patting Cellululu's back gently, but his face turned to Bo Jin, his expression was calm, he didn't say a word, he just stared at Bo Jin with a sharp look like a sword. The sharp eyes pierced Po Jin's neck and he couldn't help but shrink his neck. He felt an invisible pressure coming towards him and immediately fell silent.
Will also stood up and made an angry accusation.
"Why are you like this? Who doesn't feel uncomfortable sometimes?"
Then he looked at Celluloid with concern and asked:
"Girl Lulu, are you okay?"
Cellululu didn't even bother to answer. Her stomach was churning violently, and she kept burping out one after another. The nauseating smell kept rushing up, leaving her with no time to run to the toilet. , I couldn’t control myself and vomited it out on the spot.
After vomiting until her cheeks were sore, and until there was nothing more to vomit, and only the acid water was left flowing out, she stopped the violent resistance behavior of her body as if to repel the invasion of foreign objects. She raised her head, and her face was now full of the forced out With tears and slight gasps for breath, Jin handed her a glass of water and asked her to rinse her mouth before she was in the mood to ask questions.
"Lulu, what happened just now?"
"I……"
Cellululu put down the water glass, wiped the corner of her mouth, and looked at the puddle of filth on the ground with some embarrassment. Just now, amid the praise from everyone, she was also full of expectations. She took a bite of the fruit first, and it was indeed fragrant. It tastes sweet and is chewy and crispy. Cut into a piece of steak, it tastes even more mellow and has a plump texture. It is truly the best in the world.
But after the food passed through her mouth, down her throat, and slid through her esophagus, the feeling suddenly changed. A sticky and wet feeling hovered between the lower part of her esophagus and her stomach, which made her suddenly feel some churning in her stomach. Then, she controlled He burped suddenly and suddenly, and a smell came up and lingered in his mouth, with a sour and unpleasant smell, like corpses and sour and moldy food that he had smelled in a dream.
It was almost the third time. This was definitely not her imagination. Thinking that Jin had eaten a lot, Cellululu felt panicked and chilled. She had no room to think about whether it would be harmful to speak out. Being questioned and disbelieved by others, she only knew that her uncle didn't know how to do it.
Therefore, Celluloid didn’t explain anything, and of course she didn’t know how to explain it even if she wanted to.
"Uncle, spit out everything you just ate. There is something wrong with the food."
To others, her tone sounded almost unreasonably forced.
"Okay." Jin agreed without even thinking.
When it came to safety issues, Pokin was quite cautious, but when he saw the Plantagenet knights around him continuing to eat and drink, he seemed to be reassured and turned to sneer.
"There's something wrong with the food. I think it's you who has the problem. The Knights of Plantagenet are still eating, too, and they haven't noticed the problem. How can you, a little girl who doesn't know anything, find anything wrong with it?"
Since seeing the Plantagenet Knights, Boss Poggin's courage seems to have grown unprecedentedly.
"The food in our store is strictly selected and cooked with care to ensure that it is full of color, flavor and taste. It is a no-brainer. Everyone who has tasted it has praised it without any adverse reactions." I don't know when the old man from the shop also appeared. , said with a smile.
"However, if the taste is not suitable, we can make a few other dishes for guests to choose from."
"No need." Seeing Cellululu's expression of resistance, Jin stood up and refused.
But Pojin hurriedly answered: "Bring a portion to my room later. It's so disgusting that I can't eat anything now."
Jin looked at Po Jin. Seeing such a look, Po Jin couldn't help but feel a little guilty, but then he shouted: "What are you doing? What's so good about it? If your niece doesn't eat it, I'm not allowed to eat it anymore."
"I suggest you don't eat these things."
Jin just reminded him, and glanced at the Plantagenet Knights who had just been immersed in their pains since the incident happened. His eyes flashed thoughtfully, and he swallowed the words he wanted to persuade them. Turning to Will, he said.
"Will, come on, come with me to spit out the food."
"Huh? Oh."
Jin's tone was so matter-of-fact that Will was stunned before following with a grin.
Jin also warned Matthew's team, but because there was no evidence, Matthew and the others did not accept Jin's statement. After a few perfunctory words, they changed the topic and talked about discussing countermeasures with the Plantagenet family. The two of them and Pokin went upstairs together, but still didn't see Captain Chrysler. After discussing with the deputy leader for a long time, they still didn't know where to start. Both Matthew and Pokin were a little disappointed, but they also held on to the hope that the sky was falling. With the thought of having a tall man supporting me, the pressure suddenly dropped.
