NOVEL WEB Chapter 125 Knights and Meeting Gifts
"Brother Xing, the people inside don't seem to welcome us. Do we still want to go in?" Shen Yun asked.
Han Xing nodded, "Come in, of course. This is the first human city we have encountered. We must explore it."
"However, I will go in alone later."
"Because, I can see that there are not many creatures inside. If it is a leader, it can also complete the job transfer mission."
"If there is any danger, I will call you again."
After listening, everyone nodded.
Then, Han Xing controlled the sky island and came to the edge of this suspended city.
After the two huge islands were connected, Han Xing jumped directly onto the city wall.
Everyone looked at Han Xing worriedly.
Han Xing waved his hand and said, "I'm going down."
After saying that, he jumped directly onto the city streets.
As soon as he landed, Han Xing was ready to fight.
A system prompt appears.
[You have entered Lamino City. The owner here is a noble being from the former Human Empire. Your actions have aroused the dissatisfaction of the other party. Please leave his territory as soon as possible. 】
Han Xing ignored the warning and continued exploring the small town.
This was the first time he had seen a human city in this world, and he was full of curiosity.
Han Xing walked to a house randomly, and the system prompted that the door was closed and could not be entered.
"Won't you let me in?"
Han Xing touched his chin, looked at the 50-point defense door in front of him, pulled out the bowstring, and then shot two arrows.
puff! puff!
The gate's defense value instantly returned to zero.
Han Xing put away the long bow, clapped his hands and said, "Isn't this enough?"
Snapped!
Han Xing kicked the door open and walked in.
Inside, it looks like an ordinary family home, divided into two floors, like a European-style small Western-style building, with a very artistic exterior decoration.
Entering the house, there is a hall with a bedroom on the left and right sides of the hall.
Inside the hall, there is a wooden staircase that seems to connect the second floor of the small western-style building.
After rummaging around inside, Han Xing couldn't find anything valuable, and then walked out indifferently.
After kicking in several room doors in succession, Han Xing lost interest.
Then, Han Xing continued to walk casually on the street. When he saw interesting buildings, he stopped for a while.
Along the way, he saw many buildings such as taverns, shops, and exchanges.
More importantly, Han Xing also discovered a special building, the smelting facility.
Han Xing's eyes lit up, "There is a smelting center? Does this mean that I can mine the few ore veins in the territory?"
Although it is only a small town, the supporting facilities inside are relatively complete.
After gradually approaching the city center, two tall buildings appeared in front of Han Xing.
A huge castle covering an area of four to five thousand square meters is located in the center of the city. Next to it, there is an obelisk that covers an area of more than two hundred square meters and is nearly forty meters high.
"This should be the main building of this city, similar to my elementary castle. Next to it, it should be the intermediate psychic shield obelisk."
Han Xing came to the huge castle and was ready to continue exploring.
At this time, the system prompts continue to appear.
[Lamino City Lord’s Mansion]: Intermediate territory building.
[Status]: Closed
[Remaining defense value]: 10000
"The guys inside don't seem to want me to go in. They actually closed the gate of the City Lord's Mansion." Han Xing was speechless.
"I don't know how long it will take if I have to grind the defense value of 10,000 points by myself."
Thinking of this, Han Xing directly clicked on the territory interface, and then began to remotely control the siege crossbow launcher.
The next moment, more than 700 attack crossbow launch towers all began to adjust their angles.
Crunch! Crunch!
Even hundreds of meters away, Han Xing could hear the mind-numbing sound of the siege crossbow launcher.
Han Xing believed that with the power of the siege crossbow, even a mid-level city lord's mansion would be destroyed in one round.
However, just when more than seven hundred crossbow arrows were about to be fired, the door to the city lord's mansion slowly opened on its own.
Han Xing immediately retreated, gripped the long bow and prepared for battle.
After the door opened, Han Xing saw a humanoid creature wearing silver armor and a sword on his waist walking out.
From inside, a vicissitudes of life and helpless voice came out.
"Alas...why do you have to disturb my leisure time?"
At this time, Han Xing also saw clearly what this humanoid creature looked like.
His outfit was similar to the group of knights Han Xing saw at the Knight Trial Field.
However, this knight looks extremely old and has no demeanor like the knights of the past.
Han Xing said with a puzzled expression, "Um, old man?"
The old knight suddenly saw Han Xing's appearance and was a little stunned.
"Are you...human?"
Han Xing looked at himself, then nodded, "Don't I look like him?"
The shock in the old knight's eyes gradually dissipated, and then he shook his head, "No, I'm just a little surprised since I haven't seen humans for hundreds of years."
He looked at Han Xing curiously.
It was also the first time that Han Xing encountered a monster that he could communicate with.
The two looked at each other for a moment.
At this time, the old knight's attitude seemed to have softened a lot, and he said, "Would you like to come in and sit down?"
Han Xing thought for a moment and accepted his invitation.
Under the leadership of the old knight, the two walked through the corridor.
Inside the castle, the decoration is extremely magnificent. There are various ornaments along the way, including some abstract paintings, and each stone pillar is carved with different patterns.
After passing through the long corridor, the two came to a jeweled reception hall.
There are many tables in the hall.
The two sat down facing each other.
At this time, the other party took the lead and said: "My name is Lamino. As you can see, I am the lord of this small town."
Listening to the other party's introduction, Han Xing looked at him strangely.
The old knight saw Han Xing's eyes and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Han Xing shook his head and said, "It's okay, just keep talking."
Ramino nodded, "Young man, how did you find this place?"
What he meant was to ask Han Xing how he found this empty island.
Han Xing was stunned for a moment, "I just wandered around a few times, and then I found this place."
After hearing Han Xing's answer, the old knight seemed stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head.
"Okay, if you don't want to say it, you don't have to force it."
"Young man, since you can find this place, we are destined to meet each other. We are both human beings. How about I give you a meeting gift?"
When he heard that there was a gift for him, Han Xing's eyes suddenly lit up and he nodded quickly, "Okay, okay!"
Seeing Han Xing's unabashed attitude, the other party also laughed.
Then, in front of Han Xing, the old knight took out a scroll from his pocket.
[Knight Rune Drawing]: Moderately improves defense and magic resistance.
After seeing the above information, Han Xing's eyes lit up.
This is actually another rune blueprint, and it is also a rare dual-attribute blueprint that increases physical and magic defense!
As the name of this drawing indicates, the runes created are very suitable for human shield professions such as knights.
Of course, other professions can also use it. After the whole body equipment is enchanted, the defense will be greatly increased.
The old knight handed the rune drawing to Han Xing.
Han Xing took it with joy on his face.
At this time, the other party suddenly caught a glimpse of the 'Kingdom Ring' in Han Xing's hand. His pupils shrank instantly and his palms couldn't help but tremble.
But he quickly hid this emotion.
Han Xing didn't seem to notice, and happily put the rune drawings into his backpack, with a smile on his face.
The old knight took a breath and asked: "Young man, I want to ask you a few questions, but I don't know if it's inconvenient for you to answer them."
After hearing this, Han Xing quickly replied, "It's convenient, just ask."
After all, the handler has short hands, so the old man gave himself this precious blueprint when he came up, and it didn't matter if he answered a few questions.
The old knight asked, "I want to know what has happened outside recently and if there is any news about the King of Knights."
Han Xing shook his head, "King of Knights? No."
The old knight was a little surprised. After a pause, he continued to ask: "Then do you know the Knight King Grutal?"
"I know." Han Xing answered truthfully.
The old knight breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "Fortunately, it seems that I am not out of touch with the times..."
At this time, the old knight sighed and said: "Young man, how is the war in the outside world going?"
Han Xing looked puzzled: "Which war are you referring to?"
The old knight was stunned for a moment, then replied after a moment: "The war between the human kingdom and the Undead Knights, and the undead disaster caused by Remus that year, brought back the souls of many people who had passed away, and they launched an attack on the human empire."
"Back then, it was a heavy disaster for the entire land abandoned by the gods..."
Han Xing had a thoughtful look in his eyes.
It seems that the last scene I saw at the Knight Trial Field was already hundreds of years ago.
Remus was not suppressed by the power of the God of Light at that time, but escaped from the trial site, and then launched a natural disaster of the undead against the entire human kingdom.
As for what happened next, it is unknown.
Han Xing said: "The war launched by the Undead Knights happened many years ago. I don't know. I only know that in the land abandoned by the gods, there are no other human races anymore."
"Can't you see any other human races?" The old knight was shocked when he heard this.
"How is it possible... At that time, the territory of the human kingdom covered the entire land abandoned by the gods, with more than 70,000 cities, large and small, and the population living there once reached tens of billions!"
"Could it be that the war failed?"
The old knight frowned.
But Han Xing captured a key message from his words.
That was the former human race, which developed extremely prosperously in the land abandoned by the gods, and its population even exceeded the total number of Blue Stars.
But the strange thing is that after they came to this world, they did not meet any human beings except this old knight.
The old knight asked again: "Then where did you come from?"
…
