Swordsman Returns from Another World
Page 315
Could it be that Mr. Huaiyou is also here to seduce the infected?
The two came to the vicinity of Plot Zero.
Plot Zero is divided into two parts, the upper part consists of some buildings that clearly show signs of renovation, while the underground part is a more rudimentary sewer slum, including shacks.
Identity verification is required to enter and exit Plot Zero, but Baiyou, as a guest of the Chamber of Commerce, has already obtained the authority granted by Charne. Charne feels that if a small number of infected people can be used to win over a mysterious businessman like Baiyou, then it is actually in Casimir's interest.
The guard at the entrance of Plot Zero let Bai You and Bai Jin in. After entering Plot Zero, Bai Jin became visibly nervous. She held her bow tightly at all times, not letting go for a moment.
But walking on the street like this was a bit too strange, so Baiyou turned around and reminded: "Don't do this, Baijin, put down your weapons for a while, we won't be in any danger here."
Bai Jin nodded, but had no intention of obeying. He still held the bow, just covering it slightly with his cloak.
Baiyou led Baijin to wander around Plot 0. The condition of the ground here was better than Baiyou expected. Although the building looked simple, it had obviously been renovated, probably to cope with this year's knight competition.
The life of the residents in Plot Zero is not as vibrant as that in the renovated buildings. Although it cannot be said to be lifeless, it is obviously not as good as other places Bai You has seen in the past two days. Plot Zero is like a small neighborhood isolated from the big city in front of it, backward and decadent. Entering this area, it seems that even the vision is covered by a layer of haze.
There are no huge electronic screens on the buildings outside, no colorful spotlights shining on the sky and the earth, and no large areas of glass curtain walls dividing the sky.
The iron-gray walls that had been renovated with monotonous paint seemed to have turned the entire block into the same substance. Simple signs were hung on door frames and tied with wire. Occasionally, one or two stores could be seen displaying neon signs on the ground in the shutter cabins of the rolling doors.
Even the small light bulbs on the signboard were broken, and it looked like it was picked up from a garbage dump.
There is no garbage on the ground, because even picking up garbage is a means of making a living in Plot Zero.
Pedestrians on the street come and go in a hurry, some of them are rushing to work in other plots. They are wearing plain and simple clothes, but just being able to have a real job in other plots is enough to make others envious.
Bai You stood on the street, looking at the block in front of him, his eyes gradually gloomy, and whispered: "Ms. Bai Jin, the infected people of Casimir are living better than I thought."
Bai Jin didn't hear the gloom in Bai You's words, and replied: "Since the infected can become knights, the situation in Block Zero has improved. I remember when I came here before, the walls here were all broken and tattered, but the graffiti on the streets at that time was very interesting."
She turned her head to look at a wall, stopped, and said hesitantly: "It turns out that there are a lot of interesting graffiti on this wall, but they were later covered up by someone."
Baiyou looked at the wall. On the wall were business notices from the Chamber of Commerce and propaganda for the Infected Knights.
It's just that the things that truly belonged to the infected are gone.
You probably won’t find what you want on the ground part of Plot 0.
Baiyou turned his head and looked at the street in front of him, and started walking forward according to the method Milana taught him.
Milana's words flashed through my mind.
"Hubby, you have to remember that those who live in misery are always very vigilant. They are like animals that must protect their territory. They will firmly protect everything in their territory, because... we don't have that much in total."
Chapter 612: Wild Mane
"So you just need to look along the main streets. When you find a store that is particularly warm and gives off a gentle aura, walk along the paths around it. You will soon find the core gathering point of the infected."
"…It's hard to describe that kind of aura in words, but you must understand it, husband, because you are our savior."
Baiyue walked forward for a long time, and finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous bakery, and then whispered: "I'm not that great, Milana."
He put aside the thoughts in his mind and looked at the bakery in front of him.
This shop looks really inconspicuous, with a small storefront, but the air is filled with a warm, sweet smell, the kind of aroma that comes from freshly baked bread.
People were coming and going. Even the office workers with sad faces, as if they had just worked overtime and been scolded, would force a smile, push the door and enter the store. With the ringing of the old-fashioned bell, they would buy bread and leave with a sweet scent all over their bodies.
This should be the kind of store I'm looking for. If I walk around this store, I should be able to...
Bai You's eyes turned, but in an instant he felt a hostile gaze falling on him. With his sharp intuition, he quickly turned his head and looked towards the street.
A streak of grayish-white feather disappeared around the corner.
Bai You turned her head to look at Bai Jin beside her, curious as to how Bai Jin didn't even notice someone was peeping at her.
He turned his head and met Bai Jin's somewhat confused eyes. She had unconsciously moved closer to Bai You, sniffing the fragrance emanating from Bai You, her small and delicate nose twitching.
Uh……
Baiyou said softly, "Baijin, we should go."
Bai Jin's little head shook violently, like a tiny horse snorting. She woke up suddenly, blinked her eyes, looked at Bai You, then quickly looked away and lowered her head.
"Ah, I see, Mr. Huaiyu."
Baiyou led Baijin to search near the bakery. They turned left and right for a long time along the street where the gray feather disappeared, and finally walked into a street that was obviously closed.
This street is obviously much more active than before. Children are running on the street, women are wiping their sweat while working in various stores, pleasant smells waft from roadside restaurants, and noisy sounds can be heard from televisions in convenience stores. It is clearly an old street full of life and vitality.
This must be the kind of place Milana was talking about. This is the kind of place that the infected people of Casimir must guard well, a kind of place that they must care about. It is even very likely to be the original settlement of the infected people in Plot Zero, similar to the first place where the infected people settled in this city.
Then it’s about time we meet those guys…
Bai You looked at the street in front of him and asked in a low voice: "Platinum, do you think you can beat four active knights in the knight competition at once?"
Bai Jin was a little confused and said, "Uh... fight four? Fight, what kind of knights? Fight head-on?"
Baiyou replied softly, "Yes, that's right. Four, four active knights of the Knights Templar. Each of them has a two-character title. Do you think that's okay?"
Knights all have titles, and the titles often represent the knights' strength, forming a kind of conventional rule, for example, Margaret is the Brilliant Knight, and Mace is the Black Knight.
Generally speaking, the more versatile a word is, the more valuable it is. For example, the mace, which has won many championships, deservedly took the word "black" as its title and is called the Black Knight.
Although Margaret is also very powerful, her ability is slightly inferior. In addition, her skill of using glowing Originium makes her known as the Radiant Knight.
If she could have accomplished something that would be recorded in the history of Casimir, she might have been called the Knight of Light or something that sounded very impressive.
The next level down are the two-word knights. The two-word knights are basically the regulars and mainstream of knight competitions. These people belong to major knight orders. There are very few lone wolves, and most of them have signed contracts with companies. They can use the company's capabilities to hype themselves up every year. Each of them has his own group of loyal fans.
Below the knights with two-word titles are rookies like Maria, or special knights like Li who do not participate in the knight competition.
Fighting four titled knights... Bai Jin thought for a moment and said, "If it is a small and unknown knight group, maybe I can deal with it, but my close combat ability is not strong. If I get close to them, it will still be very difficult."
"Why do you ask that?"
Bai You shrugged and said, "It's okay, I'm just asking."
"He's not just asking!"
Suddenly, an arrogant female voice came from an alley not far away, and a brown-haired Kuranta man walked out from there, rubbing his hands in anticipation, with an arrogant smile on his face.
"He knows he's in trouble." She touched her hands together, and the metal armor on her hands made a rattling sound.
The woman raised her head and clenched her fists, obviously ready for battle. Although she had no weapons, the knight's armor was enough to explain the problem.
Bai Jin raised the bow in her hand without hesitation, staring at the approaching person with her cold eyes. As long as he showed the slightest sign of movement, she would shoot the arrow in her hand.
“Heh…” The woman patted her chest and said, “My name is Wildmane, a member of the Red Pine Knights.”
"We are the Knights of the Infected. I am sorry to tell you, merchant of unknown origin, I will not allow you to take even one infected person away from here!"
Bai Jin frowned. It would be normal if Bai You and Bai Jin, two strangers, were discovered after entering the block, but how did this guy in front of him know that Bai You wanted to come here to find the infected?
Could it be that when entering and leaving Plot Zero, the guards at the entrance...
Although Bai Jin also despised the use of infected people as cheap labor, her mission at the moment was to protect Bai You, so she could only raise her bow and arrow and said, "I don't know where you got this information, but you are not allowed to move forward!"
"I should be the one saying this to you!" Wildmane raised his hand and threatened, "Get out of our territory, or I'll show you, a fellow from the No Helmet Alliance, what an active knight is!"
Bai Jingang was thinking about the room, but suddenly she felt her scalp tingling. She turned her head to look to the side and suddenly found a petite girl squatting on the air conditioner outside the high alley.
He was a gray-haired Liberian with a naive look between his eyebrows. At this moment, he raised the crossbow in his hand and aimed at Bai Jin.
More than one person.
Chapter 613: Red Pine Knights
Bai Jin swallowed and looked at the two people in his field of vision. He thought of the topic that Bai You had just asked and felt a chill down his spine.
Could it be that Mr. Huaiyu had already seen that there was an ambush, so he asked me that question? This idiot, why didn't you say it earlier? How could I fight four people alone? And he is so thin...
Where will the remaining two people be?
Bai You patted Bai Jin's nervous shoulder, raised his hand, and gently stroked his left ear.
The originally vermilion earring on the left ear was quickly wrapped by flames and stretched out its body in an instant, like a fiery red tea leaf stretching in water.
Finally, it turned into a long earring. The silky smooth surface seemed to be burning with flames. There was a flickering light under the flame pattern, and the word "year" on it was particularly eye-catching.
With a light tap of the white-glazed finger, the bracelet that was originally disguised as a black watch instantly changed shape with flames, turning into a swaying red dragon bracelet.
He twisted the ring on his left index finger, threw off the outer shell, and transformed it into a turquoise ring.
After doing all this, Baiyou stood quietly and said softly: "Wild Mane, Far Fang, I know who you are, and I am here to help you."
Ye Zong would never believe such nonsense. For a moment, she did not recognize the highly iconic accessories on Bai You. After all, Bai You would temporarily take them off when giving public speeches.
She bumped her fists together, waved her fists and rushed towards Baiyue, roaring: "I've seen many Colombian businessmen like you!"
"Prepare to die! Don't try to trick any of my family away from here!"
At the same time, Yuanya also suddenly shot an arrow at Bai Jin's bow, trying to knock her bow away.
Neither side wants to hurt the other. Baiyou will not harm his future companions, and Yuanya and Yezong do not want to provoke retaliation from the Chamber of Commerce.
Ye Zong thought that he should just beat up the limping man first, so he strode forward.
Bai Jin wanted to stop him, but she sensed an arrow flying towards her, so she could only roll on the ground temporarily. After dodging the arrow, she turned around and shot an arrow at Yuan Ya's arm.
Yuanya dodged narrowly, hummed tenderly, quickly drew the bow and arrow, and continued to suppress Bai Jin in the distance.
Bai Jin frowned at this time. She first threw a circle of arrows high up to form an instant barrier to block Yuan Ya's shooting line. Then, regardless of anything, she rushed to Bai You, waving her bow, holding the bow arm tightly with both hands, and slapped it towards Ye Zong.
Ye Zong raised his hands and used his gauntlet-covered arms to take the blow. Bai Jin's strength was far beyond Bai You's expectations. The seemingly slender and white arms burst out with extremely strong power and knocked Ye Zong back several steps.
"Sir! Retreat quickly!" Bai Jin grasped the bow again, took out an arrow, and aimed at Yuanya not far away again.
The moment Yuanya shot the crossbow arrow, Bai Jin also released the bowstring.
The crossbow and arrow collided with each other very accurately in the air. With a teeth-grinding snapping sound, the two arrows that collided head-on instantly broke apart, and the composite fiber rods broke into countless pieces, flying all over the sky.
Baiyou's eyes lit up. It turned out that Baijin's archery skills were so strong?
Seeing such an interesting thing happening in front of him, it was impossible for Baiyou to leave. Moreover, just as Baiyou was stepping back, he found two more people coming out.
The short, red-haired Zarak, and the confident and cheerful Flametail.
There is also the gray-haired Zarak with a serious and resolute expression.
As the two big squirrels arrived, Platinum's expression froze. She swallowed and looked at the long sword in Flametail's hand.
Huimao and Yezong who were present did not carry weapons. It seemed that their weapons were being repaired. It was also possible that their heavy weapons were not convenient for street fighting so they did not carry them.
But Yuanya's crossbows alone were enough to worry Platinum. Now with the addition of the agile cage-protecting sword in Yanwei's hand, it would be difficult for Platinum to win alone.
Bai Jin was at a loss. He raised the bow in his hand to protect Bai You behind him.
Baiyou smiled and said softly, "It seems that everyone is here, except your car."
"Good morning, everyone from the Knights of the Red Pine."
"Hmph, who is nice to you?" Wild Mane retorted, baring her teeth. Compared to Kuranta, she was more like Rupert at this moment.
Flametail replied in a lively voice: "Good morning, sir. It's a pity that we have to part ways just after meeting. This is really not the place for you to come."
"We know where you're from, from Colombia, right? You want to recruit people from here to fulfill your pioneering dream? I'm sorry, even though our life is not easy, we don't want to leave Casimir, this is our hometown."
"You are not allowed to deceive our family with so-called mountains of gold and silver."
Bai You smiled, and seemed very satisfied with Yanwei's attitude. He raised his hand and gently placed it on Bai Jin's shoulder. This action made Bai Jin, who was already tense, tremble all over.
"Relax, Bai Jin, we will be fine." Bai You comforted Bai Jin softly, then pressed Bai Jin's hand and asked her to put down the bow.
Finally, Baiyou slowly spread out his hands, holding the cane tightly in one hand and slightly raising the other hand.
The red dragon bracelet on Baiyou's hand trembled, and then suddenly turned into a stream of red light, flowing along Baiyou's wrist into his palm, and then extending forward along his fingertips.
In an instant, a strangely shaped black and red long sword appeared in Baiyou's hand. A dense red light flowed on the sword body, as if it was made of crystal stone inside, and a flame was sealed inside.
Chi Xiao reappeared.
The restored projection Chixiao is no longer the same as before. As Baiyou's power deepens over the years and Yelagund, its quality is also increasing rapidly.
At this moment, the projection of Chi Xiao was shaking as if it had life, and bursts of clear sounds of a sword being unsheathed burst out, as if conveying its own joy.
Seeing the sword, everyone present was stunned.
Bai Jin was stunned because he had studied those videos a long time ago and had seen Bai You's heroic fighting on the central tower. At that time, Bai You's battle videos were circulated many times within the Wu Zhou Alliance. After all, everyone wanted to know about possible future threats in advance.
The reason why Yanwei and others were shocked when they saw the sword was even simpler.
That's really...
