Chapter 4 Flowers of the Other Shore

"Expeditionary Force... It doesn't matter, I just went in to take a look." The voice that followed was clean and clear, and indescribably soft and sweet, as if a breeze in the summer sunshine had blown the crystal wind chimes.

"If you insist, then give me some time, I will clean up all the expeditionary forces and blood slaves inside, and then you can go in."

"No! I'm just taking a look, there's no need to kill so many people!"

"...All right."

The door of the bar disappeared silently into ashes, and the temperature in the hall suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees. Everyone, including the soldiers of the expeditionary force, found that they suddenly lost the ability to move and could only move their eyes.

A girl walked into the bar.

Her figure was slightly slender and petite, and her slim-fitting black coat made her stunning little face glow with a soft light, like the finest porcelain. She has a pair of big eyes, beautiful and pure. Those are a pair of eyes that do not belong in this chaotic, bloody and dirty world at all.

When she walked in, the entire Manjusawa suddenly turned into a pure land on earth, no longer cold or dirty. All the changes come from this mysterious girl, who seems to have the powerful power to cleanse the soul.

She seemed to be extremely strong, but also extremely weak, as if just a gust of wind passing by in the wilderness could blow her to pieces. The moment they saw her, many people felt inexplicably heartbroken, as if this delicate and pure girl would die at any time.

Her eyes slowly scanned every person in the bar, every corner, and no detail was missed. When she saw Qian Yeli, her eyes lit up slightly, showing a hint of surprise, but then dimmed again, and she sighed softly.

She said softly: "I thought the place called Manjushahua would be a little different... Sigh! Maybe I'm too worried. Let's go, Uncle Wang."

Following the girl's call, an old man with snowy silver hair quietly appeared beside her. In fact, he had been standing beside the girl, but everyone subconsciously ignored his presence.

The old man glanced at Qianye and said to the girl: "This is just an ordinary bar, filled with filth and evil like all bars. Maybe he just happened to know the word and has no idea of ​​its true meaning."

The girl wrapped her coat around her and sighed softly: "Maybe! However, it is always a little surprise to see this word in an abandoned place."

Uncle Wang smiled: "It's rare that Miss likes you, so let him share a little of your joy. A lucky boy, haha."

"Yes, he is a lucky guy!" the girl said softly.

The girl left the bar, and the old man took out a small black velvet bag, put it on the bar, and said meaningfully to Qianye: "Since you made the lady happy, no matter what you have on you, you are worthy of a reward. This is you That's it."

After the old man left, the people in the bar regained their mobility, but people still seemed to be petrified and forgot to move and speak. The experience that I couldn't move or talk about just now was like a nightmare. The girl is the only shining light in the nightmare world.

Qianye's face was pale. He put his hand on the black silk bag left by the old man. After a long time, he opened it and took a look inside.

Inside is a bag full of imperial gold coins!

Dozens of imperial gold coins were a huge amount of wealth in the wasteland that would drive people crazy.

In this lawless land, three silver coins can buy a life, and five silver coins can make almost any woman lift her skirt. But one imperial gold coin can be exchanged for a full hundred silver coins. Pure imperial gold coins cannot be spent. Nothing is worth an imperial gold coin.

The gold coins did not dazzle Qianye. His eyes were fixed on a crystal box half buried in the gold coins. The crystal box is only three fingers wide, with a rose-like flower engraved on the surface. The workmanship is extremely exquisite. Through the lid of the box, you can see three silver bullets inside.

The warheads of these three bullets are also made of transparent crystal, with silver-white liquid flowing inside. The silver bullet cases are also engraved with a rose-like flower.

This non-standard silver bullet looks like a force bomb privately made by a wealthy family in the empire. It has a special killing effect on the dark race, and is especially terrifying on the vampire race.

Seeing these three silver bullets, Qianye's face turned pale as paper in an instant, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, soaking all his clothes.

Many people in the bar were curious about the contents of the black silk bag. Many of them looked greedy, but they did not dare to come forward. Although curiosity and greed can make people bold and crazy, in the face of absolute disparity in power, humans will restrain themselves very well.

The soldiers of the Imperial Army put down their half-eaten food, silently formed a team, and escorted the blood slaves out of the bar.

An Imperial Army soldier walked up to the bar and said coldly: "Boy, you are lucky, but that old man just now..."

He wanted to say, "What did the old man give you? Take it out and see?" But he was interrupted by Liu Jiang in the middle of his words.

The lieutenant colonel actually placed an imperial gold coin directly on the bar!

He said in a deep voice: "This is food money. You are really lucky to have won the favor of the big shot. From now on, no one from the expeditionary force will disturb your business. But if you change your mind, you can always You can come to the expeditionary force's fortress. Remember my name, my name is Liu Jiang. You can go to Chu Xiong, or you can come to me."

Qianye thought about something and said slowly: "Thank you, I... will consider it."

Liu Jiang nodded, said "Let's go!" and left the bar with the expeditionary force soldiers.

At the city gate, the bald sergeant had climbed out of the rubble. His face was covered in blood, but he didn't wipe it off. He just sat on a big rock, looked up at the sky, and murmured: "I knew it was not peaceful recently, I knew..."

It was already night, and the huge full moon in the sky was as red as blood!

Qianye closed the bar in advance and exempted everyone from drinking tonight. People were frightened and wanted to go back early to rest and calm down.

The central topic of discussion is how much money is in the small bag. In addition, many people are discussing what Manjushuahua is. But few people in the town are even literate, so no matter how they imagine, there will be no results.

In the bar, Qianye looked at the flowers on the crystal box without moving for a long time. That flower is not a rose, but a legendary flower, Manjushuahua.

Manjushahua is also known as the flower of the other shore. According to legend, it only grows in the River Styx and guides souls to return to the other shore.

The night is getting darker, the town is getting quieter, and people are falling asleep one after another. The bald Sheriff also returned to his home, drank half a kilo of low-quality spirits, drank himself over, and then started making loud noises.

The gate of the town is still in a damaged state, and it will not take a few days to repair it. In fact, the town's city wall, which is less than five meters high, can block ordinary beasts and blood slaves.

But don't worry tonight, the expeditionary force has obviously carried out a large-scale sweep nearby, hoping to have peace for ten days and a half.

In the eyes of more powerful scavengers, pioneers and adventurers, even an intact lighthouse town is no different from an undefended town, and the expeditionary force and regular warriors of the dark race can easily raze the town to the ground. But those are not things that the bald sergeant has to consider. The sergeant has always been very tolerant of things that are beyond his capabilities. He just couldn't look away and there was nothing he could do.

Qianye also fell asleep. In the haze, he found himself in a quiet and deserted neighborhood.

There are no lights or people here, only his lonely footsteps echoing in the empty streets. There was a huge blood moon in the sky, occupying a small half of the night sky.

He instinctively felt that great danger was approaching, but he could not find any weapons on or around him. In anxiety, he rushed to the roadside and tried to pull out an iron pipe stuck in the ground. However, as soon as his hand grasped the iron pipe, countless blood slaves suddenly jumped out from the surrounding darkness and rushed towards them howling!

Qianye felt that his body was extremely heavy, and every movement was several times slower than usual. Before he could stop him, a blood slave threw him to the ground and bit him on the neck. The sharp teeth penetrated deeply into his aorta!

Qianye sat up suddenly!

He gasped for a long time, and then he realized that he was in his room and that it was just a nightmare.

But this dream was so vivid and clear that the feeling of blood-sucking fangs piercing his neck was just like reality. So much so that even though he knew it was just a dream, Qianye couldn't help but touch his neck.

The skin there is smooth, and only by touching it with your fingers will you notice two faint bulges. That was the scar left by the vampires on him.

Qianye's chest heaved violently, and his whole body was dripping with sweat.

He was not lying on the bed, but curled up in the corner wrapped in a quilt. This is a habit he developed in the Evernight Continent to avoid being attacked by enemies in his sleep. Moreover, by surprise, he can also kill the unprepared sneak attacker.

Qianye stood up, only to feel weak and dizzy, and almost fell to the ground. He calmed down, went to the cabinet shelf by the wall, picked up the black silk bag again, took out the crystal cartridge box from it, hesitated, and finally opened the cartridge box.

Under the weak light, the warheads of the three silver bullets all exuded a dim light, which was very magnificent. As soon as the crystal box was opened, a strong aura of the Force hit his face.

Qianye whispered to himself: "Sure enough... they are all force bombs."

He reached out to touch the Force Silver Bullet. As soon as his fingertips touched the bullet, there was a soft hiss, and a small piece of it was immediately burned on his fingertips. The liquid condensed by the Force in the warhead also turbulent, as if it might explode at any time.

Qianye immediately took his hand away. After no longer touching it, the reaction of the Force Silver Bullet gradually subsided. He knew that these three bullets were not ordinary force silver bullets, but magic-breaking mithril bullets specially made for vampires. Judging from the resonance and excitement of the force, the people who made these three magic-breaking bullets were even more extraordinary. Strong.

Qianye looked at his hands. His left hand was glowing with hazy aura, while his right hand was wrapped with rich blood energy.

The girl's eyes had the terrifying power to see through illusions, and the uncle Wang next to her was an extremely terrifying master. His force wave was concealed but not released, and he was one of the strongest people he had ever seen in his life.

He left such a box of special magic-breaking mithril bullets among the imperial gold coins. He had obviously seen through Qianye's secret, but he didn't reveal it because his bar was named Manjushahua.

However, apart from being the first famous gun in the empire, what else is special about Manjushahua? Can the old man who had previously wanted to purify everyone in the bar be allowed to let go of Qianye who might be the black blood polluter?
