indescribable cyberpunk.

Chapter 471
Firewood in the shape of a minaret was burning in the glade.

Amidst the beeping sound, sparks rose up under the night wind.

Zhu Jue sat cross-legged by the bonfire, with his right elbow resting on his thigh and his palm resting on his chin. With his free left hand, he pulled out the weeds by his side and threw them into the bonfire in front of him. Jump up two or three inches, and retract at a faster speed.

Sitting next to him was Leonard, who kept opening his mouth to say something.

Farther away are the other members of the Dreamland Brigade. Some are treating each other's wounds, and some are resting on blankets. The only thing that remains the same is that the eyes of these people are all focused on Zhu Jue, the mysterious person. body.

Although he denied his identity without hesitation before, Zhu Jue still failed to leave smoothly.

On the one hand, Leonard didn't believe Zhu Jue's denials at all.

On the other hand, after inquiring, Zhu Jue found out that the big library in Solan City was not the place he imagined that he could come and go at will.

Solan City does not exclude foreign tourists, as long as they are not criminals who are wanted everywhere in the fantasy land, they can enter after paying a certain amount of coins.

But entering the city does not mean you can wander around.

For example, the steep market in the city that sells goods carried on gorgeous galleons from overseas must be admitted by the guards before they can enter.

There is also the iconic gold-plated minaret of Solan City, which can be admired, but if you get too close, you will be watched by the guards, and you may be sent to prison if your actions are slightly out of line.

The big library that Zhu Jue is going to is a more special place.

In addition to the function of storing books, the large library itself is also the place where the priests in Soran City live, and to some extent it also has the function of a temple.

Therefore, it is only open to the local residents of Solan City to a limited extent, and it is undoubtedly more strict for foreigners. If you are not a devout pilgrim, you must go through inspection if you want to enter the Great Library, and this is only a part of the Great Library. Public areas only.

"If you want to enter the inner area or ask to see the priest, you have to be recommended by someone, otherwise it is impossible for foreigners like us to be allowed to enter."

Leonard took a bacon sausage from the campfire and handed it to Zhu Jue. Leonard said this quite bluntly.

Although Zhu Jue always only mentioned that he was going to the big library, he did not disclose any additional information.

Leonard still guessed that Zhu Jue, the behind-the-scenes boss of the Shuojin Chamber of Commerce, came here specially for the purpose of not simply wanting to enter the big library to borrow a certain book, but for a deeper reason.

And this is his bargaining chip!

In fact, Zhu Jue was a little annoyed at the beginning why the Great Elder Atal didn't mention these things when he was in the Temple of Uzza, so he had to give himself a certificate to get online with those high priests.

Then it suddenly occurred to me that Elder Atal had said before that he had not left Uzzah for decades, and that it was normal not to know the outside situation, and it would be terrifying if he really told Zhu Jue everything in detail.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jue shook his head helplessly, and glanced at Leonard's expression. Now it seems that he can only rely on this member of the Dreamland Brigade.

"Hearing your tone, you have a way to let me in?"

It is naturally impossible for Zhu Jue to tell Leonard about the magic mirror. He swallowed half of the sausage and asked without looking back.

"Of course, we are currently in a cooperative relationship with the priests in the Great Library of Solan City. Although there is no guarantee that your request will be realized, I can take you to meet that priest."

Leonard, who expected Zhu Jue to ask such a question, responded without hesitation,
"As long as you promise to do us a favor, I'll take you to the Great Library."

"I have to know what you want from me before I can decide whether to agree to this deal."

Zhu Jue has always been clear about the truth that only by giving can one gain.

The premise is that the giving and the receiving are of equal value, and I don’t mind if the latter is more, but if the former is more, it will make people feel uncomfortable.

"You also saw that several of my companions were injured."

Seeing that there was something to talk about, Leonard also corrected his sitting posture, in fact changing from a squatting posture to a sitting posture.

"Of course, and they were all injuries recently, and the bloody smell has not dissipated."

Raising his hand to slap his nose, Zhu Jue's eyes swept over the people around him again.

The people who surrounded him just now were not all. The total number of people in Leonard's team was 10, but two of them were in a coma, one was injured in his leg, and two people were taking care of the unconscious person. Only five people appeared before. indivual.

"We had a battle with the dream eaters in Solan City. The most recent one was yesterday afternoon. As you can see, we retreated strategically. And we have very important things to do in Solan City, which must be resolved. Those dream eaters, you killed dream eaters before, didn't you, I want your help to get rid of those guys."

Leonard paid attention to Zhu Jue's expression while speaking, and then said,

"I met the gentleman. His strength is not as good as mine, but he is definitely better than most of the people present. If you can replace him, you must not be weak. The gap between us and the Dream Eater is not that big. Now It also retains more than half of its combat power, what is lacking is a high-end combat power like you that can make a final decision."

Deliberately emphasizing that his own strength is stronger than that of the gentleman and that his side still has a lot of combat power, Leonard does not want Zhu Jue to think that his side is all weak.

the reason is simple.

The weak are not qualified to negotiate!
"Heh, I didn't notice it last time in Pasifika, you guys still have a thick skin."

After thinking for a while, Zhu Jue suddenly sneered and said.

These mocking words immediately aroused considerable reactions from the people nearby, and the originally relaxed and casual atmosphere disappeared.

It seems that Leonard's status in these people's hearts is not low.

Zhu Jue thought so in his heart, but there was no tension on his face.

"They're all injured, what are you doing so tense, you should rest!"

Staring at Zhu Jue for two seconds, Leonard said loudly.

As the voice fell, the tense atmosphere suddenly disintegrated.

"I have experienced your strength before, and it's not bad. Counting them, such a team has been beaten so badly that they dare not even go back to Solan City. Are you telling me that this is a strategic retreat?"

Zhu Jue twitched the corners of his mouth, without saving any face for Leonard, and directly pierced,

"I'm afraid I want to escape!"

Entering the dreamland this time, Zhu Jue's original plan was to make a quick decision, go to the Great Library of Solan City as soon as possible to obtain the location of the "Nakt Manuscript" and return to the real world.

Now that there are some unplanned deviations, he can only find a way to get the action back on track.

But this does not mean that he will agree to other people's requests without a bottom line.

According to Leonard, they have very important matters in Solan City, and the entire Solan City covers an area far larger than that of Nier City. If you really want to hide, how can you not find a place? Isn't it just hiding in the library, do you have to retreat to this kind of wilderness?
There is only one explanation for the present situation.

The landing point of the dream medicine is near here, and the return location is naturally here.

Leonard and others are about to give up the mission and return to the real world!

Needless to say, the strength of the team of dream eaters who can force them to give up their actions voluntarily, and even dare not stay in the dreamland for a long time.

"Okay. You are right, we are indeed planning to return."

Touching his forehead in embarrassment, even if he didn't want to admit it, Leonard knew that the presence of his group was an unavoidable fact.

If it weren't for the extraordinary things this time, they have worked hard for nearly half a month to barely improve, and it is really unwilling to give up the opportunity they have finally won so hard.

He chose to temporarily stop near the evacuation point in order to hope that someone or something could turn the current situation around.

Otherwise, he wouldn't continue to stay in the dreamland when some team members were unconscious.

"There are heavy casualties. The opponent has occupied Solan City, and their strength is far superior to yours. I only have one person. If I want to help you, I must bear great pressure."

Zhu Jue talked slowly about their current disadvantages, completely ignoring the angry eyes from the side.

"I know that this kind of request is a bit difficult. Since you don't want to, then pretend that I didn't say it. I will still tell you the location of Solan City, but the matter of recommendation is just..."

"Who says I don't want to?"

Looking at Leonard with a surprised expression, Zhu Jue grinned, and then said,

"I mean a price increase!"

Such a challenging commission cannot be overcome by simply recommending a priest!
