"Gedo hates lying bastards the most, so die, all of you!" The voice in the snow screamed, and then spots of green light lit up.
Allen snorted and stepped out with a series of fine steps. He was like a dancer, dancing in the deadly jade-green beam of light. The wind, snow, and green light quickly retreated from his side. In the blink of an eye, Alan saw an ugly and surprised face. The Baltic was like a bloated ball in a crude and strange suit of armor. The pair of small eyes on the fleshy face were almost squeezed to the middle, and his mouth was open, as if he could not believe that Allen was unharmed.
Then the pair of eyes lit up with a red light.
Gojoseon unsheathed and returned, and Allen was already behind the Baltic. A thin slit appeared on the fat man's neck, and then green blood sprayed uncontrollably from his body.
At this moment, another thin Baltic standing not far away shouted, "How dare you kill Gedo!"
Like his compatriot named Gedo, he was holding a heavy metal beam gun in his hand, and he immediately pointed it at Allen. Unfortunately, he did not have time to fire, and a spinning battle-axe pushed him away. When the battle-axe was nailed to the ground, the Baltic was almost split in half.
Hubble walked over, stepped on the Baltic's body, and pulled out the battle-axe and casually swung it a few times. "These guys are too noisy, so I don't like the Baltics at all."
Allen shrugged, and carried Gojoseon forward. Behind the two Baltic guards was a small town, which was made up of three-meter-tall stone slabs placed side by side, forming a circle to form the town wall. The outside of the wall was fastened with three arm-thick chains, and the buildings in the town could already be seen. They were all buildings with dark red metal walls. But these buildings were the same as the Baltics, and none of the buildings looked the same. These buildings had pointed, round, or square roofs, some smooth, some with spikes extending outwards, giving it a very uncoordinated feeling.
In the depths of these buildings, Allen saw a ball of green light. A green light emanated from an unknown object, enveloping the entire sky above the town.
Judging from the scale of the buildings, the town wasn't that big. If it were on Earth, it would only be a small town with about a hundred people.
At this moment, the ground shook. The two metal doors in front of them were pushed open, and a five to six meter tall figure walked out. "Who is causing trouble here? Oh, Gerry and Ross are dead? Although I won't pity these two unlucky bastards, they are my subordinates after all, so the guy who killed them, get over here! "
The giant walked out of the town wall, and the Baltic, who was almost as big as the Grai Giant, waved his six arms. His six hands were holding different weapons. There was a beam gun and an odd-shaped weapon that was either an axe or a spear. It made him look like a moving weapon rack. There was a huge eye on his chest, and there was only a mouth on his head. It looked extremely strange.
The one-eyed Baltic, who called himself Cuike, looked at Allen and the others, and then his voice sounded from the mouth on the eyeless head, "Is that you? Hurry up and kneel down so that I can cut off your heads! "
Allen narrowed his eyes and said, "We just wanted to go in and find a place to rest, but your men attacked us without any explanation. So you see, we're just protecting ourselves."
"Oh, in other words, Gerry and the others are courting death?" Cuike said, "That's right. How can these two idiots afford to provoke a fellow who dares to wander at the edge of the Lost Realm?"
"Then you mean you can let us in?"
"If you want to enter Green Light Town, you have to pay taxes!"
Allen frowned, "Taxes, alright, how much does it cost?"
"Originally, one green glaze per person would have been enough, but today I changed my mind. Give me your lives, and I can let your corpses go in. " Cuike laughed and walked towards Allen and the others. "You have to know that this damn place is so short of food, and you look delicious. Well, except for the Gatu pig, which doesn't taste very good, but it's fine. I, Lord Cuike, will take your lives! "
Allen laughed, "This is indeed an unreasonable place."
He stood still, but Lola and Bai had already flashed past him.
Lola had transformed into an orc at some point. Her long hair was glowing red, like a ball of jumping flames. She dragged Blood Killer and charged towards the Baltic in a straight line. The latter laughed wildly as his beam gun shot out green beams of light towards Lola.
However, Lola's movements were more agile than he had imagined. Every time she adjusted her body, the beam of light would miss. In the blink of an eye, he had already rushed to the side of the Baltic. The giant named Cuike roared as he waved the weapon in his hand and smashed it towards Lola.
A streak of bloody light flashed past, and the Blood Killer Sword pulled out a red light. With this red light as a boundary, Cuike's arm and weapon fell apart.
Just as he screamed, a gray shadow suddenly flashed in front of him. It turned out to be Bai. The youth bounced into the air and looked at Cuike expressionlessly with his golden eyes. Then, he punched out. His fist was covered in grayish-white snake scales. The scales closed along his arm like waves, increasing the power of Bai's punch by several points.
The fist smashed into Cuike's eyeless head, and the sound of bones breaking could be heard along the way. The tip of the fist drilled out from the back of the giant's head. Bai Cai stepped on Cuike's chest, leaped backwards, and pulled out his fist.
The giant with a hole in his head didn't even make a sound before he fell backwards. After twitching in the snow for a while, his body finally stopped.
"Why bother." Allen shook his head and carried Gojoseon past the giant's corpse. He walked through the gate with Lola and the others. Behind the gate was an empty space. A few Baltic gatekeepers on both sides of the gate looked at them as if they had seen a ghost. Then, they screamed and ran away, afraid that Allen would kill them as well.
Just as Allen didn't know where to go, a Baltic walked up. He emerged from the shadows of a nearby building, bent over, and said with a fawning smile, "Sir, it seems that you need a guide."
Allen glanced at him and laughed. "You have guts. I just killed a few of your gatekeepers, and you still dare to be my guide? Aren't you afraid that someone will make things difficult for you?"
The Baltic rubbed his hands and laughed. "Sir, you don't have to worry about this. If you are strong enough, then the big shots in this town can't do anything to you. If you are killed later, that Sir won't make things difficult for me. After all, I am just an insignificant person. If he wants me dead, he can do it at any time, and he won't care who I come into contact with. "
"You are very honest. What is your name?"
"Nick, Sir." The Baltic blinked. "Happy to serve you."
He was very ugly, and his body looked very thin with his bent back. His skin was a tired pale, and his head was unusually large with only a few sparse strands of hair on it. His two eyes were also disproportionately large, shining with the light of sophistication and sleekness. The guide named Nick told Allen some information, such as that this town was called Greenlight Town, and that the town controlled a green glaze mine. The green glaze mine produced a kind of crystal called green crystal, which contained very powerful energy. This energy could play a lot of important roles after simple refining. For example, the green flames in the stone cages of the pillars that served as road signs outside the town were formed by burning the residue of green crystal. There was also the beam gun used by the gatekeepers, whose energy unit came from low-purity green crystal.
Green crystal was very valuable, but its value was only reflected in the territory of the Demonic Shadow Empire or Dobia. Only in the territory of those two kingdoms was green crystal valuable. In the Lost Realm, its value was greatly reduced, because there were many green glaze mines in the Lost Realm. However, many of the mines went deep into the central area, which was a place rarely visited. Even the most tyrannical characters in the Great Wasteland were not willing to enter the depths of the Lost Realm easily.
"Sir, the Lost Realm is a dangerous place, yes, but it is also a treasure land. The green glaze crystal is only the most common specialty of this land, and who knows how many treasures are hidden in the depths of this snowfield. But the Lost Realm is also a dangerous place. Just look at the fact that neither the Demon King nor the Black Emperor has set foot here for so many years, and you can see that its danger is not just for show. " The guide showed an ugly smile to Allen, "So there are towns like Greenlight Town in the Lost Realm, so it is not deserted, but there are not many towns like this, you can count them on five fingers."
The towns on the edge of the Lost Mirror often controlled one or even several green glaze mines. The green crystal mined every year would be sent to the Great Wasteland, and then transported to the Demonic Shadow Empire or Dobia for high profits. Although Nick did not say much, Allen knew that to be able to do this, even in the Great Wasteland where dragons and snakes mingled, it was definitely not a simple character. In other words, towns like Greenlight Town were supported by some big shots.
This made sense.
"We're here." Nick stopped in front of a strange building. The outer wall of this building was also the same dark red metal commonly seen in the town, but its shape was a little too unique. From a distance, this building looked like a big conch. If you looked at a conch with a dark red shell, you could see windows of all sizes, wide and narrow, square and round. Nick looked at Allen and said, "This is an inn opened by Lili. In addition to being able to live in it, of course there is also food. But as you know, Sir, there are not many travelers in Greenlight Town, and business is poor, so the food really can't be called delicious. "
Allen smiled and said, "It's good enough to have a place to rest."
"That's good." Nick went straight forward and pushed the door open. As soon as he walked in, he was thrown out. Just as he was about to hit Allen, Hubble reached out with his thick hand and grabbed the back of the Baltic's neck, putting him down.
Then a tall figure crashed out of the door. It was a sturdy Baltic woman. She was almost as big as Hubble. The woman held two large blood-chopping knives in her hands and shouted angrily, "You dare to come, you damn fellow. The last guest I introduced was some big shot, but he was killed in a few moves and didn't earn a single cent. Thinking of them chopping up and making food, those guys don't even have a few taels of meat on their bodies. How can those skinny things be big shots! "
"Lily, this time it's different." Nick smiled bitterly and said, "Look at these adults. Their armor is not damaged at all. One look and you can tell that they are noble people. More importantly, they killed Cui Ke and Gerry, the gatekeepers. They are definitely not on the same level as those last time. "
It turned out that this woman was the owner of the hotel. She raised her head and looked at Allen and the others before saying, "Can they kill Cui Ke? That's more like it. At least they won't be killed in a few moves. Come in, but I have to say it clearly. I want to collect enough money. Even if I can kill Cui Ke, don't expect me to give you a discount! "
Then he turned around and got in.
Nick looked at the bear-like back and sighed to Allen, "Lily was a beautiful woman when she was young. Unfortunately, something happened later. She was sad and overeating and became strong and ugly. But don't worry, my lord. I know there are a few more beautiful women in town. If you need them, I can call them over. "
Allen didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the guide's enthusiasm. He shook his head and said, "I just want to find a place to sit. We've been walking for a long time."
"This way, please." Nick got in first.
The others walked into the hotel one after another. Hubble stood in front of the door and whispered, "This woman is really strong. I like her."
Belmond looked at him in shock and could only sigh in his heart that the Catus' aesthetic standards were indeed different from those of humans.
Walking into the lobby of the hotel, there were high and low tables for guests of different heights. When he was serving on Nether Prison, Allen had heard that none of the Bar men looked the same. Now, he had finally seen it. The guests here were all men, but none of their physical signs were the same. The only thing they had in common was their skin color, which was dark red like the metal walls.
When Allen and the others walked in, the guests cast unfriendly gazes at them. One of the Barbarians who was about to leave bumped into Allen maliciously, but instead of hitting Allen, he was knocked back by Hubble. Hubble wasn't satisfied. He chopped off his head with an axe and threw it out of the door. Looking at the guests in the hall, the Barbarians tactfully turned their heads and stopped looking at Allen and the others.
"Hey, don't kill people in my place. Otherwise, who will clean up for me?" Lily, who was walking in from the kitchen, shouted when she saw this scene. She threw a basin heavily onto the table beside her. The unknown food in the basin splashed out, but the guests at the table didn't dare to say a word.
Nick slapped Lily in the face and finally sent her back to the kitchen. Then he walked back to Allen's table and said, "Single women have a big temper."
Hubble's eyes lit up. "I like women with this kind of personality."
Nick looked at him strangely and smiled at Allen, "My lord, if I'm not mistaken, you should be a human, right?"
Allen narrowed his eyes, and the temperature in his gaze suddenly turned cold.
Nick waved his hand and said, "Don't misunderstand, my lord. Whether it's in the Lost Realm or the Great Wasteland, we're not interested in people's identities." As long as you're strong enough and follow some rules, you can have a good time in these places no matter where you come from. If you're stronger, you can even make your own rules. "I'm not trying to find out your identities, but humans are too rare for us. Only in Demon Ring City or Dobia's King Sunset City have I heard of human slaves."
"Hey, little man, we're not the only humans here." Hubble took off his helmet and revealed his original face.
Nick wasn't surprised to see that it was a Catu. He only said doubtfully, "I'm really confused that the Catus and humans are together."
"We're still sitting at the same table as a Baltic." Allen said, "There's nothing absolute in the world. Sometimes there's only a thin line between enemies and friends."
His pun caused the Barbarians to nod their heads repeatedly. Nick said, "The Cuike you killed, including the other two gatekeepers, are Lord Iron Hand's subordinates. Lord Iron Hand is also a big shot who controls this town. It won't be long before he comes looking for trouble with you. "
"Oh, then what do you suggest?"
Nick revealed a sinister gaze and said, "It's very simple. As I said just now, this is not a reasonable place." With your strength, if you're willing to serve Lord Iron Hand, I guess he won't care about the death of a few gatekeepers. If you can be more ruthless and kill Lord Iron Hand as well. "That's even simpler. This Green Light Town will be yours, my lord. You can control everything in the town at will."
"Oh, I haven't asked for your name yet."
"My name is Allen. You can remember it." Allen smiled and said, "And, Nick. Remember, I'll kill Iron Hand. I'm not afraid of the big shots behind him. Soon, everyone in this area will know my name. But we are still strangers to this part of the world, and I need a guide, or a counsellor. I think you're very suitable. With me, you'll be better off than ever. But if you dare to play tricks on me like you did just now. Then you'll find that no matter how cruel they were to you in the past, they're actually very kind. "
"You must remember this."
Nick was sweating profusely. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Allen again.
Allen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Alright, go to the kitchen and see if Lily needs any help. Please give us something to eat as soon as possible."
Nick was relieved. He answered "yes" and hurriedly left the hall.
After Nick left, Lola looked at Allen and said, "Do you believe him?"
