Chapter 66
The guard's face indeed showed a knowing expression. It would be nice to have a little extra money in this kind of remote countryside. He waved to the town, and indeed, a man nodded to the terrace of a two-story building at the entrance of the town to express his understanding.
It is not dangerous, but in this kind of small town that has been around for hundreds of years, every residents knows the truth, and it is very difficult for an outsider to gain trust.
It’s okay to distrust, at least not to be hostile.
As soon as Kong Xu stepped into the only tavern in the town, he heard a man's wailing: "Hell! I'm definitely hell! That thing is so terrible, it's like a female ghost grinding her teeth in my ear, and she will swallow me at any time."
It was a sloppy middle-aged man wearing patched old clothes, his blonde hair turned gray and golden because of the mud and grey. His beard was covered with dust and dripping beer.
"Hi, buddy, I've invited this wine. Can you tell me about your business?" Kong Xu bounced his thumb and bounced two copper coins onto the bar. The inferior beer here is the price.
"Sir, thank you for your generosity. But you are..." the man wondered.
At the same time, the surroundings also turned their attention to Kong Xu.
Kong Xu pointed to the Adventurer Badge on his mind: "You mayor offers a reward of the 'Ghost Cry' incident at the Adventurer Guild. I'm here to deal with this."
The people in the bar breathed a sigh of relief, and even the bar owner smiled and said, "Thank God, someone finally came to take on this damn task. Recently, someone came to me to complain every day."
After saying that, the boss opened the plug of another barrel, poured out a large glass of obviously clear beer, and pushed it to Kong Xu: "Welcome to Eiger. I am Peter, this is a small welcome. By the way, you are the only one?"
Kong Xu shrugged: "If I can handle it, I will be the only one. If I can't handle it, or if I die, there will naturally be more good people coming."
He is a real person. Everyone in the bar labeled Kong Xu like this and started talking.
"We're a small mine."
"It must be that Old John dug something that shouldn't have been dug."
"It's not a cemetery of the evil gods, right?"
"You can hear a faint cry every night at twelve o'clock."
“Several families are having nightmares.”
Kong Xu took care of everyone, and his mood floated to other places. As a time traveler, he knew very well what was underneath. It was not easy to get the [Shadow Flame Body] that he never forgets in his heart, but he had to step on the thunder in every minute.
The key is how to maximize benefits.
The stage is ready, where are the actors?
When Kong Xu was a little confused, he suddenly felt something in his heart.
The transportation in this closed mountain town is extremely inconvenient. This is a town dug out on the hills. If it weren't for the abundant minerals and a small river flowing by, no one would have come to live.
Relatively, it becomes inevitable that mountain roads are difficult to walk.
Kong Xu sensed that the sensing rune he had set on the way he came was triggered.
It is a delayed alarm trap. It will only start after those crazy believers with devilish aura walk for a minute, and feedback the faint mental fluctuations will come back to Kong Xu.
If it exceeds one kilometer, Kong Xu will not be able to receive it.
Of course, this is a straight line distance. It is ten kilometers to walk on the mountain road. Unless the visitor is a great man who rushes over the eaves and walls, it will not be possible to come in less than three hours.
"Okay, all the actors are here." Kong Xu's face showed a strange smile.
His idea was right. He killed the devil's important chess piece Earl of Memphis, and the devil could not have no action. He just didn't know who was coming.
Kong Xu said goodbye to the miner in the bar: "Okay, thank you guys for your information. I will go to those houses to check it out tonight. But now, I want to see what is in the mine first."
"Let Douglas take you there."
With the words of a small leader, a middle-aged bald man stood up: "Mr. Ben, please come with me. After years of mining of the mine, you will easily get lost without anyone leading the way."
"Thank u."
Just as Kong Xu got into the mine, a group of knights with bright armor were walking on the mountain road surrounded by a carriage. At first glance, this was a team of elite knights of the kingdom. If any void person approached, they would find that the group exuded a strong gloom.
The knight who led the lead had no temperament as a leader at all. A sound suddenly came from the carriage, and his neck shrank on the spot.
"Are you sure that Kong Xu is here?" The male voice was filled with coldness.
"It's 100% certain. Although he used his fake identity, it was ours who helped him fake it."
"Hmph! Even if he is a martial arts genius, he is just a fool who has no life experience and has grown up in the academy. I really don't know how Lilith fell into his hands."
"Sir... the master should not be careless."
"There won't be any surprises. Even if he has been promoted to the silver level and then made a trap by himself, it doesn't matter. This is ultimately a small plane that limits the upper limit of power. Everyone is silver, and more powerful people deserve to win."
"Yes, the Lord taught the right lesson. He did not stay in a safe city and ran out by himself. His destiny was destined at that moment." The leader of the knight said humbly.
The people in the carriage no longer have words.
On the other side, on the way back to the capital.
The king looked at the important ministers who were accompanying him, and the general started to make noise because of Kong Xu's "conditions".
This is destined to be a resultless discussion.
King Juan asked his guard captain: "Punk, isn't there any contact from above yet?"
"There are frequent void storms recently. Due to this, all communications are intermittent." Pangk shook his head: "By the way, that Mr. Kong Xu went out by himself, and his whereabouts are unknown. Are we..."
The king sighed: "No need. Since he decided to go out at this time, he was mentally prepared to fight the devil. And we had no extra staff."
The king had no hesitation anymore. In fact, before he left the capital, he had asked the palace officials to cooperate with the Dawn Light Church to organize large-scale screening operations, at least to ensure that there were no devil followers among the nobles and generals.
Looking at the scenery flying past the window, the king's voice almost whispered: "I don't know if it's still time..."
On this side, Kong Xu followed Douglas into the mine cave.
They each carried a dim oil lamp and walked step by step.
The early mine caves were very backward. Although the mine caves had wooden brackets that supported the cave walls and did not collapse, the mine lacked the necessary rails in the impression of a certain crosser. All the ores were transported out by miners using wheelbarrows.
