Just a magical girl who picks up trash

Without any nonsense, the six werewolf mercenaries with fierce eyes leaned against a tree by the roadside, holding a bloody sword in one hand and speaking in a low voice.

"Hey~~~"

However, what responded to him was not the response from someone in the carriage, but a golden arrow flew out from it in an instant along with this sudden sound, and then directly pierced the opponent's neck.

"Uh uh uh……"

The attack came so suddenly that not only the werewolves around, but even Amy and the others in the carriage were taken aback by the sudden attack. Suddenly, they heard Xiaotang's extremely cold voice:

"Those who want to die, get out. Those who don't want to die... stay!"

The words that sounded like those of the god of death, coupled with the figure of the werewolf who was slowly falling down with his hands covering his throat, made the other five werewolves look at each other, and in the blink of an eye, they turned around and disappeared into the forest, without even planning to save their companions.

"Gululu~~~"

As the carriage continued to move forward, Xiaotang couldn't help but sigh at the stunned expressions of the three people in the carriage.

"Bai Mu City is a mixed bag, but not everyone is qualified to enter. Those hooligans just now were just like that... They're the kind of people who bully the weak and fear the strong and dare not enter the city. If you don't use some tough tactics, they'll only become more aggressive!"

Therefore, from the very beginning, let the other party know that you are not easy to mess with. This is the best 'pass' to enter Baimu City!

"Oh, I see. So that's how it is... Xiaotang, you really know a lot. Have you ever been to Baimu City before?"

It's already this serious, if I say I've never been here, no one will believe me, so Xiaotang nodded slightly to Xia Lu's words, and said directly without hiding anything:

"When I was still a wandering mercenary, I came here a few times with a team. But due to some accidents, I haven't been here since!"

"Huh? How many times have you been here? What accidents?"

It was obvious that Xia Lu's curiosity was aroused. In her curiosity, she even forgot that the other party was her "rival". Since Xiao Tang had already spoken about this, she obviously did not intend to hide anything:

"Nothing much. I'm with a disbanded group, the kind that forms and disbands at any time. I've been here a few times to sell supplies I've found in the maze. After all, this is arguably the continent's largest black market, so things are more valuable here... Of course, whether I'll be able to take the money back alive is a bit of a stretch!"

As she said this, Xiaotang also subconsciously touched the entrance of her vagina:

"The last time I came here, I was betrayed by my teammates and was surrounded. Luckily, Jack fought his way out. I haven't been to this place since then. Of course, Jack likes it very much... After all, there are no rules here!"

After saying this, Xiaotang briefly talked about a few things that he had experienced, and then the carriage stopped with a bumpy ride.

"Well, it looks like we're here!"

As he said this, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the city gate filled with noisy voices suddenly appeared before the four of them.

The towering black city walls extended to both sides, and it was unknown how far they connected. The huge red city gate built with red willow wood seemed to be stained with blood, and was filled with a strange deterrent atmosphere. Coupled with the two rows of dozens of orcs holding spears and wearing armor at the city gate, just looking at it gave people a very considerable psychological pressure.

"There's no entrance fee to enter the city, but... you need to pass a test first!"

And what is the test... Looking at the soldiers in front of them, Xia Lu and others obviously understood it instantly.

32.Acquaintance

Murderous intent, hostility mixed with various prying gazes filled with negative emotions hidden in the dark continued to surround the four people as they entered the city, and such gazes were obviously very unfriendly, especially to the young girl.

"Hey, hey, hey...that's..."

"No way? How dare a human girl come to a place like this?"

"Are you looking for death? Or have you never heard of this place's reputation?"

"Maybe she's some family's eldest daughter or something, she doesn't believe in evil and came here to play!"

"Play? Haha~~ Then we can have some fun. Here... we don't care about background!"

"I can't see because of the hood, but... judging by her figure, she should be in good shape!"

"Why bother looking at it? Her temperament is enough. I like this!"

"That's not as good as..."

"Hmph hum~~~"

The sound of discussions that came one after another immediately caught Amy's sensitive ears. She couldn't help but frown. It was obvious that she didn't like this kind of place very much, but after all, she came to find her sister, so she didn't say anything about not wanting to go in. She immediately walked towards the city under the leadership of Xiaotang... Oh, no, it should be said that Jack.

Compared with the malicious discussions around them, the 'trial' mixed with murderous intent seemed to be of little concern to the dead. After all, since Xueli and Xia Lu dared to come out, they undoubtedly carried a lot of magical props that could play a protective role. As for Amy and Jack... one of them was cheating, and the other was a killer, so naturally they didn't need to worry about these things; even Jack seemed to be very unhappy with the tentative murderous aura around him when he entered the city, so he didn't just protect himself like Amy, but directly used his own momentum to fight back.

"Hey~~~"

"Boom~~"

The murderous aura like a tsunami collided in the air. The sudden muffled sound undoubtedly alarmed many people around, whether visible or hidden. Even the guards who were standing guard before frowned and looked over. Suddenly, a more powerful aura pressed directly towards Jack.

There were murderous intentions from dozens of people, and those who could serve as guards in such a place were obviously not good people. Therefore, when this murderous intention came, Jack couldn't help but squint his eyes, and without saying a word, he released his aura without reservation.

"Buzz~~~~"

There was no magic and no fighting, just a collision of momentum that instantly caused even the air to vibrate.

"Shhhh~~~"

In the blink of an eye, at the very moment when Jack's momentum completely exploded, dozens of spears were raised simultaneously, and then pointed directly in Jack's direction. It was obvious that the guards intended to deal with Jack's "provocative" behavior by force; however, as if they knew that the other party would definitely do so, Jack excitedly took out the dagger in his hand, but did not attack. Instead, he looked at the murderous soldiers around him and laughed:

"What? When did Baimu City become so bullying? Are they angry and humiliated because they were defeated in the Killing Intent Trial?"

This light sentence immediately made the surrounding guards' eyes more angry and murderous, but in the end they only dared to point the spears in their hands at Jack, but did not dare to really take action. Of course, it was not because they were afraid of Jack or something, but simply because the other party did not actually violate the rules, so they were not qualified to take action!

The Killing Trial itself is the pass to enter the city. Generally, in order to enter the city, people, regardless of their strength, basically adhere to the principle of avoiding trouble and pass it naturally, without causing too much trouble. However, Jack was completely the opposite. Not only did he not choose to pass it safely, but he directly confronted the Killing Trial and won... This was undoubtedly a failure and a provocation to them, so they raised their weapons one by one.

But in the end, there was no reason to take action!

"Cut~~"

From the beginning to the end, Jack obviously didn't know what politeness was. He swaggered around and released his malicious aura. He immediately pulled Amy behind him and walked towards them. Shirley and Xia Lu followed him as well. Because the four of them put on the hooded robes provided by Xiaotang before leaving the carriage, they did not reveal their faces in front of everyone. Otherwise... it would definitely be another big trouble!

Of course, even if he wasn't recognized, Jack's arrogant behavior would still cause him a lot of trouble!

"Oh my, I was wondering who would rush into the city like this, it turns out to be Xiaotang, it really is... long time no see!"

Facing the spears pointed at them, Jack and his three companions swaggered into the city. None of the guards around them took action. However, just after the four of them entered the city, a figure suddenly stood in front of them, and recognized the identity of Xiaotang, who was hidden by the hood, at a glance.

"..."

The footsteps stopped instantly, and Xueli and the others looked towards Jack at the same time. Although they couldn't see through the hood, a clear "tsk~" sound came out of Jack's mouth at the same time. Then, when Jack raised his head, the hood on his head was directly taken off. At the same time, his free hand grasped a dagger condensed from dark elements. He looked at the person in front of him with malice and said in a tone without any politeness:

"You're greeting me all of a sudden, are you asking me to fulfill my promise two years ago and send you off?"

Jack did not hide his desire to kill the other party at all. At this moment, the target that appeared in front of the four people was a figure whose whole body from feet to hands was covered with heavy armor, and he was carrying an exaggerated giant sword behind him. Even his face was covered with steel armor like a bull's head.

"Then I'm really looking forward to it!"

Perhaps it was because of the helmet that he couldn't tell whether the other party's shrill voice was male or female, but from the other party's tone, it was not difficult to hear that the other party seemed to have known Jack for a long time... Of course, the relationship was not a good one!

"Want to try?"

While saying this, Jack was not idle either. He slowly raised the dagger in his hand. There was no doubt that as long as the other party nodded slightly, the dagger would be sent into the other party's armor in the next second and pierce the other party directly. Faced with such a situation, the other party seemed to be silent for a few seconds, and then slowly shook his head:

"Maybe next time. This time I want to talk to you about... a collaboration!"

33. Hero's Relics

"cooperate?"

The sudden change in tone obviously did not allow the three people behind to adapt in time. Amy even screamed subconsciously, which made the voice in front of her, who was not sure whether it was a man or a woman, glance at her slightly. Then the next second, Amy's figure was blocked by Jack behind him.

"Oh……"

Jack's completely subconscious action obviously did not escape the other party's eyes. After a moment of surprise in his heart, he continued:

"That's right. I'm facing some difficulties right now and need the help of some powerful partners. Unfortunately, most of the powerful partners in Baimu City are unreliable, and those who are reliable are too suspicious. So I've been searching for a long time but haven't found many satisfactory ones. It's just by chance that I ran into you here, so I came to invite you!"

To be honest, this incident was indeed an accident. After all, even she probably didn't expect to meet Xiaotang here again!

"Invite me? Do you think I'm reliable and powerful?"

Jack said with a half-smile in her voice, and it was obvious that she had no desire to agree to the other party's request. However, her tone was no longer as hostile as before. It was obvious that she did recognize the figure in front of her.

"Haha~~ Let's put aside whether it's reliable or not, at least I'm very clear about its strength!"

The implication was that in her eyes, Jack was clearly not that reliable. If that was the case, why did she come to Jack to say all this?

Amy was curious, but when she "saw" certain clues in the other person's emotions, she made a quick judgment and it suddenly became clear in her mind... it was to sow discord!

Saying Jack is unreliable in front of him would make his temporary teammates wary of Jack. Even people they have known for a long time might feel alienated because of Jack's concealment. Even if none of these happened... at least it would allow the other party to find out the details of the relationship here. It could be said to be killing three birds with one stone!

"Haha~~"

Amy saw through it, and apparently the little sugar in Jack's consciousness also saw through it. After reminding Jack, Jack immediately let out a laugh that no one knew what it meant, and then... Amy walked past her and headed into the distance.

"Not interested in!"

These three simple words startled the armored knight. Looking at Jack's approaching figure, he subconsciously reached out to stop him.

"Don't you even want to know what the deal is? I can guarantee you won't suffer any loss!"

"Not interested in!"

Three short words again. Facing the arm blocking his way, Jack seemed not to want to have any more interactions with the other party. He walked around it and continued walking. However, he never expected that the next second the other party did not stop Jack, but directly blocked Amy behind Jack?

Of course, the word "blocking" is not quite right. It's just that when Jack turned sideways, the other party's arm subconsciously blocked Amy who was next to Jack. Of course, if she wanted to withdraw, she could obviously still do it, but she didn't know why, looking at Jack and the other party holding hands, she inexplicably felt a bit unhappy in her heart. She wanted to do something immediately, but she never thought that the next second an unparalleled momentum had instantly attacked her body, and at the same time that Amy disappeared in front of her, she fell to the ground.

"You...want to die?"

The words that sounded like the death god suddenly uttered from Jack's mouth. The words were filled with murderous intent, leaving her with no doubt that he was determined to kill her in the next second. This caused her eyes under the mask to shrink sharply, and only one thought remained in her mind:

She... has become stronger again!

She clenched her fists tightly, and faced Jack's obviously angry expression. She gritted her teeth and spoke directly:

"I found a hidden room in a maze outside the city, and inside it are what appear to be the remains of a hero!"

There are always such things. Some heroes fall in the maze due to carelessness or other reasons, and the weapons they rely on to fight will be collected by the maze as treasures, just like the experience rewards and magic stones after defeating monsters. They can be provided to foreign adventurers as rewards in the "hidden room".

"Brave..."

"…Relic?"

The sudden words were clearly heard by everyone. The first to react were Shirley and Xia Lu. After all, as members of the royal family and descendants of former warriors, they naturally knew more about this kind of thing than others and understood its value. Also stunned were Amy and Jack!

Of course, Amy was just stunned because of surprise, and as for Jack... no, strictly speaking, it was Xiaotang...

"A hero's relic? Come to think of it...Even though Amy is a hero now, it seems she doesn't have any hero weapons!"

The weapons of the heroes are specially forged as soon as their identities are determined at the beginning, just like Zuntian's sword and Ai Xue's greatsword. They are weapons specially made using special magic forging technology. They can absorb the experience of the holder in the maze battle, thereby achieving the effect of upgrading. To put it bluntly, it is a weapon that can cooperate with the hero to continuously upgrade.

And because Amy's opportunity to become a hero was too sudden, the Imperial City is not yet able to equip her with corresponding growth weapons. Not to mention that Amy's ability is so unique, in fact, they don't know whether to equip her with weapons!

Of course, during this period, there was a plan to let her directly use the relics of the heroes of past generations. However, the relics of the heroes collected by the royal family were not suitable for Amy, so this matter was temporarily delayed.

Now, upon hearing about the hero's relics, Xiaotang immediately said so, and as soon as these words came out, Jack naturally spoke decisively and said as a matter of course:

"Then grab it and give it to Amy!"

This sentence was said without the slightest hesitation, and then it was refuted by Xiaotang:

"How can that be? After all, this is something someone else found. Do you think little Amy will want it if we just snatch it away?"

Although Amy wasn't a person with a strong sense of morality, she would still stop someone who was clearly stealing someone else's things. After all, although she didn't dislike bad guys, she didn't want the people around her to become bad guys, so...

"Promise him that we can buy it directly from him after we find the hero's relics!"

34. Buy it with all your wealth!

(Don't worry, the heroine will appear soon!)

Buy it?

Xiaotang said such rational words, but Jack scratched his head and asked doubtfully:

"Well~~ What you said makes sense, and I'll listen to you. So whether I buy it or rob it, I don't care. But the question is... do we have the money? How much do you plan to spend?"

Even Jack knew that the hero's relics were priceless. Even a powerful country like the Pernachi Empire only collected three or four hero's relics over the past few hundred years. It was obvious that if you wanted to buy it, you had to be prepared to pay at least the wealth of a city... Didn't you see that the two princesses who were also thinking about how to buy the hero's relics had already started to quietly calculate their travel expenses?

Of course, there's another more important question besides this... Let's not talk about whether this thing is worth money or not, from another perspective...

“We don’t seem to have any money!”

The two of them have been living like wild men in the mountains all this time. It was only a while ago that they participated in the selection of Guardian Knights on a whim and met Amy there until now. But you have to know that Guardian Knights do not have any salary. After all, strictly speaking, they are knights directly supported by the state, so naturally they do not need those worldly things. Therefore, in summary... they don't have much money at all!

"That's not a problem!"

However, Xiaotang had obviously already thought of Jack's question and had an immediate answer:

"This guy isn't a good person to begin with, so while we can't be bad guys and rob each other, it's okay to be a little tough in business!"
