quicksilver blood

Chapter 30 Serke Safin
The dim sunset light fell gently, and Del Ramos' breath dispersed when exposed to the light.

Roland and his party left the dark forest that seemed to be shrouded in black veil and entered the sunset plain. The sticky and cold black dust in the air finally dissipated completely.

This is already the outermost layer of the Oak Mystic. Strictly speaking, they have left the place where the air is filled with the cold, muddy chaotic magic, and there are shadowy creatures lurking and killing people everywhere.

"Go further out from here, and Lve Ying won't appear."

Roland retracted his half-stretched body into the carriage, closed the door, and turned around to explain to Claudia gently.

"It's not just the reason why their vision can't see things in the sunlight. The purpose of the stubborn oak lock is to seal Del Ramos, so just in case, any life with the power that belongs to Del Ramos cannot leave the darkness. The Forest of Light, of course, also includes Lve Ying. The existence of the Sunset Plain is just a buffer zone. It is a reminder to those adventurers who stray here, telling them that they cannot go any further.”

Roland said calmly, but he sighed inwardly.

That being said... But it doesn't mean that the Xiguang Plain is absolutely safe.

The challenge level of Xingguang Plain is level 15, which means that without the strength of the black iron level, even if you can't touch Lian Ying, your life will be in danger.

The dangerous factor on the Sunset Plains on the Bansana side is the Sphink horse thief.This group of horse thieves is insidious and cunning. Although their strength is not strong, they are also harmful to the nearby residents.

Around the time Macken and his party passed through there, the leader of the group of horse thieves—a black wizard who had been expelled from the White Tower probably detected Claude's strength and released them out of fear. .

But the people on Karal's side were not as easy to fool as those on the opposite side.Stationed on the Sunset Plain on the side of Karal is none other than the Serke Safin gang that ruled the entire underground forces in Karal, an organization that claims to kill anyone for you as long as they are paid enough.

Before the revival of the plague came, this group of guys hadn't revealed their true colors. Players who were born nearby just regarded them as small characters corresponding to the horse thieves on Bansa's side.

Even Platinum Oak, the actual ruler of Karal, a half-elf Druid who had awakened the origin 100 years ago, didn't expect that their sphere of influence had already covered the whole country.

When the irresistible plague came to Karar, despair and pain spread along with the plague throughout the country.This group of guys suddenly took off their disguises and revealed their true identities.

They are not ordinary gangsters, but followers of the powerful Lord of Violence.

The Lord of Violence is in charge of the priesthood of violence, robbers, gangs, and fighting, and recently is ready to extend his hands into the fields of blindness, protection, and assassination.Before the plague arrived, his greedy and cruel eyes had been cast on Kalal.When the plague came and those gods who liked to meddle had no time to take care of themselves, he did not hesitate to descend on Karar and personally overthrow Karar's rule.

In the later period of the Plague Restoration, before he and other gods were hunted by the followers of the Holy One, he actually overthrew the rule of Karal.

Just like the persecution of Druids in the old days, he ordered the killing of Druids and ordinary Druids across the country, burned books, banned the cultivation of food, and abolished almost all laws.

So Caral became a wilderness-like situation, the only rule was that there were no rules, and the one with the biggest fist was the boss.At that time, although the people living inside were humans, they were no different than wild beasts.

It was during that turmoil that Roland chose to leave Caral and go to the White Tower to develop.

As for Seke Safin and his group, before the revival of the plague, they stationed their base camp in the Sunset Plain.

They loathe all laws and believe that the one with the biggest fist is the king.As for the ancient seals like the stubborn oak fanlock, according to the interpretation of the sacred law, they do not belong to any country and are in an absolute neutral zone.Residents of any country must be at least five kilometers away from the ancient seal.

This is to prevent the destruction of these ancient seals across wars and conflicts, and to liberate the evil things inside.

However, followers of the Lord of Violence consider this place quite safe.As a isolation zone, the Xiguang Plain itself is not dangerous, but it does belong to the "five kilometers away" zone, and there are no other residents except this group of thugs.

In such a place that belongs neither to Bantha nor to Karal, the thugs of Serke Safin have established their headquarters here.Because here is not under the protection of Bansa's law, nor under the protection of Karal's law, it is a completely lawless place.

Here, whether it is robbery or homicide, it is the kind that cannot be appealed-this rule has not changed until the Reformation.

A few hours ago, Roland and Claude Macken mentioned the person who sneaked in. Macken said that he could not guarantee to kill a bronze-ranked strong man in an instant, so Father Claude made a decisive decision to wait until the sunset plain. Arrest him and interrogate him.

After all, they were smuggled from Bansa, and if they killed people on the street in Karal, it would easily cause trouble.So they have to sort this out before entering the city.

Although before the fall of the White Tower, clergymen in general countries had the absolute right to kill civilians, these "general countries" did not include Karal, a country that advocated atheism.

However, Roland strongly suggested killing the person who sneaked in as soon as he entered the Sunset Plain.Because Seke Safin is likely to come to rob them, it can be said that that person will definitely take advantage of the chaos and escape-he has collected enough information.

Yes, it can be said that Serkesafin's group will definitely come to rob.

Although the group of people whose brains are filled with spirits and muscles in Seke Safin still have brains as big as flies.So much so that they will not rob people who pass by here at will - such as the regular Karal army coming and going, and those strong men who have not entered from Karal but came out of the dark forest directly and crossed the Dark Scar.

Occasionally, though, the booze would crowd out their modest brains.Their tiny wisdom like fly droppings swirled in front of their eyes, thinking that those who passed through the Aphotic Trail in a convoy instead of a few alone could not all be strong, at most one or two.

They will send some strong men to restrain the strong men in the convoy, and then according to the specific abilities of the strong men and the value of the items brought by the convoy, they can choose whether to kill all the others, grab the goods and run, or kill all the others and then Turn around and kill the few strong men.

Because their gathering place was underground and extremely hidden, Karar's military came to encircle and suppress them several times but failed.It was not an ordinary level of hiding, but the use of divine magic to enhance the concealment. Even a scout like Marken wouldn't be able to find it when passing by the entrance of the cave.

But Roland still remembered the location of their lair.Roland, who hated this gang of robbers and was deeply persecuted, decided that once these gangsters came to rob him, they must be punished to death.

And with the length of their team, it can basically be said that this group of guys will definitely come.

Roland didn't expect Claude to kill all the intruders.You have to admit that as expected of people who rely on their fists for food, their force does exist.In the game, the sunset plain on Caral's side is a typical example of what is called "mislabeling".That is to say, the system's suggested level labeling on this has nothing to do with the actual situation.

Of course, that wasn't a system error, but that the programmers who designed the plot here didn't want players to guess the plot here in advance from the abnormal map level.This kind of cruel method to prevent spoilers has been seen many times before-for example, players are not allowed to see the NPC's surname in the system prompt.

Now, the time is almost up.

"Miss Claudia, take a rest first, I'll go to Captain Macon's side."

Roland took a look, and now he was far enough away from the dark forest, so he didn't have to worry about rushing in and not finding him once he started beating him, so he smiled and whispered to Claudia.

"Take care of yourself, and be safe."

Claudia looked at Roland with eyes that were as clear as sapphires, and Roland, who was as thick as a city wall, looked away a little guilty for a moment.

It's not that hormones interfere with thoughts.But when Roland heard Claudia's reply, his heart beat suddenly a little faster.

No, her reply was wrong.

As if knowing what Roland was going to do, Roland had a feeling that he was completely seen through by those eyes.

In order not to alert others, Roland and the other three decided not to tell anyone in the team about anyone sneaking in, including Claudia and An Ruosi.But at this moment, Claudia seemed to know what he was going to do...

Of course, Roland was not afraid of being exposed by Claudia, because this secret was worthless.

It's just that the wisdom shown by Claudia at this moment is completely different from before.The previous Claudia was like a vase, without any valuable opinions.

Assuming that innocence is just her disguise, then it's worth exploring why she disguises herself as a person without any scheming.

After all, this is not the earth, and pretending to be innocent will not catch the prince.These days, nobles like to have smart women as mistresses. After all, brainless women will only bring disaster.

Moreover, it is also worth considering whether the Madonna mentality she showed to the servants in the convoy before the Dark Trail was staged or not.Roland always felt that this person was not that simple.

If she really lied to everyone, why did she expose herself to Roland?

With some guesses in his mind, Roland didn't respond to Claudia, and he didn't even stop the carriage. Holding the practice sword that Macon gave him, he jumped out of the running carriage lightly, and then With a single jump, he got into the front carriage.

"Captain Macon, it's time..."

Roland found Macon, who was fully armed in slightly burnt leather armor, and said sternly.

Before Roland could finish speaking, the sudden sense of crisis made him jump back. A completely black arrow penetrated the thickened carriage and shot in, nailing the carriage on the other side.The coachman panicked and stopped the frightened horse, but he stopped because of it.

Seeing the sudden stop in front, and hearing that shout, the carriages behind were in a state of confusion, and they managed to avoid hitting the carriages in front.

It's the Serk Safin gang!
Luo Lan's heart sank.

Strange...how could they come in such a hurry?It's like waiting here a long time ago.

At this time, a rough shout came from outside: "You've made me wait! Hand over that girl named Crowley, and we Serko Safin will let you pass!"

"Hold on."

Roland stopped Macken who wanted to get out of the car to negotiate in a low voice, frowning.

It didn't feel like a robbery, but more like a murder.

"Captain Macon, you go and take a look first. We will act according to the opportunity later."

Realizing that he was involved in some trouble again, Roland said in a low voice, a bloody smile gradually appeared on his face, forming a huge contrast on that delicate face.Fortunately, he was wearing a hood, and Macken, who was behind him, just didn't see his expression.

"How dare these Serkosafin bastards cause trouble for me, and I haven't even gone to find you yet."

Roland whispered in a voice that only he could hear.

It just so happens that we can get back all the money and profits together.
