Abstraction for a bad world

Chapter 11 Beating Dead Things
“There are a lot of people gathered outside.”

Just when Yuan Qingzhuo was worried, a cold and lonely voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Yuan Qingzhuo turned around as if in response, and with a turn, his whip fist suddenly stopped in front of Hydra's nose.

The wind howled.

Bright red blood flowed from his nose and was wiped away tremblingly by Hydra, with only half of his face exposed.

"You almost scared me when you used a ninjutsu... Mr. Dahai, could you please make some noise when you walk? What's wrong?"

"Walking silently seems to be the passive ability of the lantern."

Hydra stretched out his hand from under his black robe, shook the brand new lantern that had even the rust washed off, and then retracted his hand.

A whole hooded man in a black robe.

What a sissy social phobic Xiao Yan.

"They are all guys who are here to collect debts. I dare not go out."

Hydra did not do nothing during the night when he held the lamp in his mouth.

She had figured out at least a few of the lantern's effects.

When she touches the lantern, it is equivalent to her own erosion reaching 100%, and she will enter the complete world of "phantoms of the past".

When the lantern is not touched, the range covered by the lantern light is the range of the "past world", and outside of this is the normal world of suffering.

Relying on the lantern, Hydra felt that the gains from the first attack might be unprecedented.

And the lantern was given to her by the scary boss brother.

So there is no need to say more about who to lick.

"Debt collector?"

Yuan Qingzhuo was stunned for a moment, then he realized that he might not have paid enough attention during the battle last night and too many places were damaged.

Maybe their houses were demolished, but the neighbors were afraid and didn't go out last night.

It’s quite reasonable, or rather, too reasonable!
Oh, this wave is mine.

"Then Mr. Dahai, please come out with me. Don't think about doing anything bad secretly."

Yuan Qingzhuo took out ten gold coins from the collection interface and put them in his pocket, then walked swaggeringly through Susie's house, whose door had been blown up, into the eyes of the onlookers.

He didn't say anything at first, just listened quietly for a while.

"Run? Where can a little girl like her run to?"

"You all know about Susie's family situation. Her alcoholic father..."

"It must be because of what happened to her family! Her money is money, but our money is not money!?"

After roughly understanding the situation, Yuan Qingzhuo walked to the middle of the crowd, coughed twice, raised his hands and waved,
"Everyone, look at me, look at me, I have something to announce!"

The villagers who were chatting animatedly were suddenly stunned and looked at this stranger who didn't fit in.

What does this outsider want to do?

Yuan Qingzhuo shouted, "Those who have suffered losses due to what happened last night, please come and register with me and receive double compensation for your losses!"

He looked around at the people who had suddenly gone silent, then clapped his hands and grinned, "No problem, guys!"

In a few seconds, the crowd was in an uproar.

In fact, the villagers couldn't be sure that the horrific noise last night was related to Susie.

It was just because her house had the largest amount of damage and no one was home this morning that they gathered in front of the door to discuss what happened.

But at this moment, a foreigner suddenly ran out from Susie's house and yelled "Double compensation!"
It's like taking all the problems on yourself.

This is new. It's so damn new!
Not only is it novel, but it's also fun.

"Double? You idiot, you don't know how terrifying it was last night! The monsters came to my doorstep, and I was almost discovered and eaten by them!"

A sharp voice suddenly emerged from the crowd.

Yuan Qingzhuo took a closer look and saw that it was a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her forties or fifties, with a height and weight of 150 kg.

"Three... at least five times!"

Right size, right age.

It fits my imagination of a mature woman. Yuan Qingzhuo watched her squeeze out of the crowd, with her hands on her hips, looking arrogant and saying, "I'm the one who pays."

Your version seems to be a bit ahead of the times.

But why are there these old guys with underdeveloped brains and completely undeveloped cerebellums in every remote town?
To slow down the plot?
The villains aren't so brainless.

"It's a valuable item, so I think double compensation is too little, right? Have you spoiled me?"

Yuan Qingzhuo sneered: "I am Susie's distant cousin, a great knight from the capital, and the one behind me is a magician."

"We have been ordered to investigate the matter of the demons in the North."

The woman's face froze and she swallowed in fear.

"Because of what you just said, I can execute you on the spot."

Yuan Qingzhuo casually searched in the bar and found two awesome names that even the villagers in the small town had heard of.

But the woman soon bared her teeth and roared:
"Where can you find a knight as young as you? You are taking us for fools!"

Although no one spoke, they all nodded in agreement.

However, Rikka hasn't produced an apprentice knight or wizard for decades. How could they believe that a thirteen or fourteen-year-old kid was the legendary knight who was famous all over the world?

That’s right, a group of Iron players saw a Gold player and shouted that there was a genius boy, and they even broke the report button.

This is what a rookie is like.

"Sister Haizi, give them a whole life!"

Hydra, disguised as air, turned his head silently.

By the way, why does Boss call me Teacher Dahai and Sister Haizi at the same time? It's so abstract...

Did you learn this from Sister Hope again?

A hand holding a lantern appeared from the black robe, and after waving it once, it was quickly retracted.

So, a huge rock with a diameter of almost two meters not far away flew towards Yuan Qingzhuo amid the villagers' exclamations. Some people even covered their eyes and dared not look anymore.

"Well done!"

Yuan Qingzhuo laughed loudly, raised his fists and started punching the boulder in the air.

With a loud bang that made one's teeth ache, the boulder shattered and was then violently beaten by Yuan Qingzhuo into flying dust.

Only a sharp piece of debris was missed, and it swept across the middle-aged woman's cheek with dust and ash, leaving a dark trace of blood.

She immediately covered her face and screamed, then ran away crawling.

"Who else doubts that I am a great knight?"

What happens next is simple.

Ten gold coins are enough to solve all problems in a remote town like Ranrika.

What was even more coincidental was that the mayor was also joining in the fun among the crowd.

After Yuan Qingzhuo handed him the gold coins and asked him to take care of everything, the latter, who originally looked ferocious, suddenly smiled innocently and nodded repeatedly.

"By the way, Mayor, do you know where the Magic Association of Ranrikka is?"

Yuan Qingzhuo was playing with a gold coin with his fingertips.

"But Rikka doesn't have the money to build a magic association, Mr. Hara."

The mayor, who was so sturdy that his clothes seemed to burst with a single effort, sighed regretfully. He thought for a moment and said,
“But the auditorium on the mountain has existed in the city for more than ten years.”

The dark-skinned mayor's eyes were still fixed on the gold coin on Yuan Qingzhuo's fingertips. He chuckled twice and said, "It will take several days to get there on foot, but I have a very fast snow leopard king that I can lend to you, Mr. Yuan, for two days."

The warm gold coin fell into the mayor's hand.

Then the sharp whistle suddenly echoed in the small town of Ranjika.

"Meow~"

In a few seconds, a snow leopard king over two meters tall jumped nimbly in front of Yuan Qingzhuo and meowed at him.

Mayor, you are still Ding Zhen.
