Never Thought You'd Be This Kind of Hero!
Chapter 75
"— That demon is back?"
"— Yes, you must hide the things in your house well!
Take away the skin you shed!
That guy snatches everything! "
"— He hasn't come for a year … I really didn't expect …"
"— Take the children with you, don't scare them!"
This was the conversation between two adult female Blood-Crown Rattlesnakes in the grassland south of Mundama City.
Yes, the demon that they were most afraid of, who had swept through the grassland, had finally returned!
At this moment, the magical beasts and demi-humans in the grassland felt the fear of being dominated by the demon and the shame of losing their homes!
They still remembered that two years ago, the demon also came in autumn. He was young and looked like an ordinary human male. He looked like a soft persimmon, and the grassland wolves even recklessly attacked him … But now, where was that pack of grassland wolves?
They were all beaten down by this human and now they dared not attack him again.
However, the magical beasts in the grassland were honest. Although they did not like the cruel and cunning grassland wolves, they would not laugh at them because this human was really too terrible!
He was not human at all!
Wherever he passed by, not even a blade of grass grew. Not only that, there were rumors that he had a big black bag with a demon's mouth drawn on it. It had a green face, fangs, and two long horns. Every time this human demon got something, he would put it in his bag — and that thing would disappear.
As for the original owner of that thing, the pitiful magical beast, he would never see the wealth that he had painstakingly saved up again. It could be a shiny gold coin, or it could be two beautiful blue stones.
The female Blood-Crown Rattlesnake even saw this human take away the blue flower that a male Blue Pavilion Bird had prepared to use as a mate. Later, that Blue Pavilion Bird was unable to pursue a girl … The cruelty of this method made her, the natural enemy of the Blue Pavilion Bird, tremble!
Could a human do such a thing?!!!
The entire grassland, forest, and even the small hills were all active. All the Daemons, mainly mid-level and high-level Daemons, had high intelligence and were better at communicating with each other. They were all talking about one thing: There was a human who had the most terrible demon living in his heart. He did all kinds of evil, robbing and robbing, and always muttered the incantation of "Three Lights". Only the Dark Demon King could subdue a person like him.
They knew that a long time ago, there was a person called the Demon King in the world. Moreover, the Demon King had reappeared in recent decades. The Demon King was the most evil and dark existence in the world.
Thus, the beasts in the grasslands, forests, and valleys gave this human a title: Demon King's Best Friend.
It seemed that there was nothing wrong with it from a certain point of view.
…
Mornings in Mundama City were always busy. The city gates opened at the first glimmer of dawn. The caravans, knights, and civilians were walking on different paths, but they still had to squeeze together as they passed through the city gates.
The cries of animals, the voices of people, and the occasional swearing. Occasionally, one could hear whips being whipped.
This place was somewhat similar to the Wasteland City. They were both free and independent cities, but they were also backed by powerful countries. The Wasteland City was backed by the Snow Blade Kingdom, while Mundama City was backed by the Golden Banner.
However, the two cities looked completely different. The walls of the Wasteland City were simple and unadorned, and the interior of the city gave off a desolate and primitive feeling. On the other hand, the walls of the Mondama City were made of very smooth and flat white bricks, and there was even a huge flag of the Mondama City hanging on them. The city was busy but orderly, especially on the main road connecting the north and south gates. It was bustling with activity, and the trees on both sides of the road were shady.
It was like the difference between a wasteland and a civilized city.
The slave trade in the Wasteland City was very common. It was placed together with the market for Daemons, as if there was no difference between humans and Daemons.
However, there was no slave trade in Mundama City.
The people here seemed to be much more civilized.
"But the nobles still have slaves, and they still have the power to kill them.
The army also has slaves, and the red light district … Well, in short, there are still slave trade in places where children can't go.
Rance, you have to be more careful here. "
Xu Jun let Rance get off the horse. He was afraid that the child would fall and even helped him up. He had been so engrossed in his role these days that he had forgotten that the child was a Frost Dragon. He always treated him like a baby.
Rance pursed his lips and was very happy. "Thank you, Dad. I can get off by myself."
What a good child!
Xu Jun couldn't help but rub the little boy's white hair. The hair on his head was also very fluffy and nice to touch ~\ (≧ ▽ *)/~.
↑ This scene had played out countless times in the past few days. Now, the two onlookers, Steamed Bun and Jess, were used to it.
Because Xu Jun and Rance were always playing the role of father and son, Jess and Steamed Bun had also developed feelings for each other. Now, they looked at each other. Ah, here we go again.
Steamed Bun said to Jess in his horse language, "It's so lucky to have a child."
He looked at Rance obediently letting Xu Jun rub his hair. "That's great. I want a good child like that too = v ="
Jess: "= = Then you have to find a poor child who has no parents first."
There was only one person, two humanoid orcs (dragons could be considered orcs), and a real magical beast waiting in line to enter the city.
There weren't many civilians and adventurers this morning, but the knights were entering the city in groups. They were probably returning from their patrols.
Every autumn, the knights had to go out to patrol the city, but it was just for show.
The civilians, adventurers, and merchants kept moving forward, while the knights and their horses couldn't squeeze through the city gates.
The civilians and merchants snickered. Xu Jun heard someone say, "So what if they're knights?", "God won't let them enter the city."
Then the soldiers at the city gates asked to change the route. The path for the knights was widened and the path for the civilians was narrowed. The flags at the gates were also moved so that the knights could hurry in.
The civilians present were speechless.
At this time, the more experienced adventurers and merchants said, "Hey, what are you looking at?
This is normal, you know? "
"They (pointing upwards) are the ones who are in cahoots with the masters. What are we?"
Xu Jun held Rance's hand. The child's hand was cold. After all, he was a frost dragon, and his blood was cold.
Rance was very obedient and didn't speak in the crowd. Fortunately, he didn't speak. If he asked the question "Why did the knights leave first?" like the other children, Xu Jun wouldn't know how to answer.
Yes, why did the knights leave first?
Adults wouldn't ask such questions. They would just laugh, but they wouldn't answer at the same time.
They didn't even know how to explain it to the children.
So Xu Jun said something else to distract Rance and Steamed Bun, who was the same age. "The city of Mengdama is in front. Do you know what's in Mengdama?
There are the best candies exported from the Golden Banner. You children love to eat them. "
Rance was really happy. Steamed Bun also licked his lips. "Is there golden fructose?"
For Rance, the best sweet food he had ever eaten was golden fructose.
After all, Frost Dragons were carnivorous magical beasts. They were satisfied with just eating meat. They were usually lazy and lived in extremely cold areas, so they usually had very little food to eat. Even their prey was only a dozen or so.
There were no plants to try. The only plants in the place where they lived were the seaweed at the bottom of the sea. That thing couldn't be eaten. It was disgusting.
The vegetable soup that Xu Jun gave Rance was the second time he ate "plants" in his life. The first time he ate it was because he was sick. The chief fed him a stomach full of herbs. It was bitter and fishy. Rance almost vomited.
But the vegetable soup that Xu Jun gave him was very delicious!
It was fresh and fragrant!
Rance liked to eat the cabbage inside the soup!
Xu Jun also made a barbecue for him. The greasy meat was stuffed with green peppers and onions. The meat was not greasy at all. He could eat two whole stag alone!
Oh, of course. If he didn't cook it in Xu Jun's way, he could eat twenty stag without burping.
These days, the stag, wild goats, and wild rabbits in the south of Mengdama were also unlucky.
Rance thought of many delicious things when he thought of golden fructose. His originally blank face showed a different expression. "Is there anything better than golden fructose?"
Xu Jun looked at him and thought of his friends in the orphanage.
At that time, they often fought and had a bad relationship. When I had a candy, he would snatch it. Now I know that it was because he couldn't eat it.
They didn't dare to let the director buy snacks for them. After all, they weren't "parents".
When he looked at Rance again, his face was kind. "Well, it's much better than golden fructose. I'll buy it for you in the city."
Steamed Bun kicked him lightly. He quickly added, "Buy it for Steamed Bun too."
So poor Jess was forgotten again. → _ →
The middle-aged merchant next to him interrupted, "Brother, don't think about it. There's no one selling candy in the city. Old John, who made this, died of the black disease. It's a mess now."
Xu Jun frowned. "… Black disease?"
The fat merchant in front of him heard the gossip and turned around. He wiped his sweat with a small handkerchief and asked, "Is this news true?
Old John is dead?
Isn't he only fifty years old? "
The merchant who spoke first was a thin man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. He stood next to the fat man who was wiping his sweat with a small handkerchief. "That's right. He was very young. He died of an illness just like that. Have you heard of the black disease?"
"What should we do? He's dead. Who's going to collect my sugarcane?"
They still wanted to talk, but they had already reached the city gate. The guards glared at them one by one. The two merchants shrank their shoulders and hugged their arms, not daring to speak.
Xu Junzheng felt that these city guards were unfamiliar to him. They were all skinny and didn't look like they were in their twenties.
These little guards looked listless, unlike the old soldiers who used to guard the gate in the past.
All of this, plus the "black disease" mentioned by the merchants, made Xu Jun feel very ominous. He finally entered the city.
Mengdama City was originally a very prosperous and orderly city. Although there were also slums, they were well managed. The people here were used to wearing fine linen clothes. The clothes of the young people were especially beautiful. They were dyed in various colors. Standing on the street, it was a beautiful scenery.
Children ran in the streets and alleys. They were all wearing bright clothes and laughing.
But now, half of the city had turned gray. People didn't talk loudly. Occasionally, a few children walked on the street with their heads down. They were no longer wearing bright clothes. They had all changed into black, white, and gray.
Many families had white flower baskets hanging on their roofs. This was a unique way of mourning here.
When Xu Jun had just passed through the crowded city gate, he couldn't see the scene inside. His 1.78 meters height wasn't considered tall in this world.
Now that he had entered the city, he was still smiling, but the smile in his eyes was gone.
How could this be —?!!!
Half of the people in Mengdama City were holding a funeral?!
Was it because of the "black disease"?
Or something else?!
What exactly caused the "black disease"?
Don't tell me it was caused by the change of seasons. The people in this world were still healthy!
Jess looked up at the sky and sniffed. She frowned slightly. "There's something in the clouds."
It was strange. In the morning, the sun was so hot that it was uncomfortable. Now, it was cloudy and about to rain.
Xu Jun was a warrior, not a magician. He was very sensitive to murderous aura, but he wasn't as sensitive to elements. However, he noticed Jess's expression and knew that this was a serious matter. "Can you tell what it is?"
Jess shook her head. "It's hidden in the clouds. Right now, I can only sense darkness … Xu Jun, how did it feel when you fought the Dark Demon King?"
Xu Jun was shocked. How could Mengdama City have so many dark elements?
This was just a normal human city!
He thought for a moment and decided to figure out what the thing in the clouds Jess was talking about was first. "Let's go to the herb store first."
Ever since he "killed" the Demon King, the dark elements seemed to be abnormal.
The Moonlight Elves and Holy Light Elves' Trees of Life were disturbed, and the concentration of dark elements in the air was indeed higher than before. However, Xu Jun didn't care if it was just a little higher. Ever since the Demon King was born, a large number of demons crawled out of the abyss. The dark elements and dark energy in this world had been abnormal.
— — What is that thing hiding in the clouds?
Why was it hidden in the clouds?
… If the Demon King was still here, he would at least have someone to ask. _ (: 3/∠) _
Author has something to say: Jun Jun the Brave missed Xixi Demon King 1 time. Xixi Demon King sneezed 1 time. The Ice Lord looked on coldly 1 time. _ (: 3/∠) _
