Nobby was no longer young, and it would have been difficult for an elderly Baltic like him to stay in the Great Wasteland. If a person like him hadn't saved up some money to leave the Great Wasteland and go to the two empires to find a place to live in peace. Otherwise, if he continued to stay in the Great Wasteland, even if he didn't become a rock to climb up, even if he mixed in some big shot's army, he would still be sacrificed as cannon fodder in a certain battle.
This was the Great Wasteland, and there was no need for worthless people and things to exist.
Nobby was a special case, because he followed Bone King Zasuo. Moreover, his broken arm had taken a knife for Zasuo, so he could stay in the Great Wasteland and arrange for him to be a gatekeeper.
There was a door between the Great Wasteland and the Lost Land, and the door was located at the entrance of a gorge. The gate was made of molten iron and was about twenty meters tall, and it was opened and closed with an energy drive device. The people guarding the gate were the subordinates of the previous five big shots in turn. After Blood Eye and White Devil died in battle one after another, the gate was basically maintained by the Bone King. Noah and a few other gatekeepers guarded the gate to the Great Wasteland, and collecting tolls from travelers was their main duty.
After the curtain of time disappeared in the Lost Realm, a large number of residents of the Forgotten Realm poured into the Great Wasteland, keeping Noah and the other gatekeepers busy for a while. However, more than half a month had passed, and there seemed to be no other abnormalities in the Forgotten Realm, so the endless stream of people began to decrease. It was already considered a lot to see a dozen people a day, so when he saw two figures appear in the direction of the Forgotten Realm, Noah stretched and walked down from the tower with his hands behind his back.
He signaled to the two young gatekeepers with his eyes. The latter nodded and took down a decent beam gun from the weapons rack on the tower. It was best to kill travelers like this, and they didn't dare to complain after killing them, unless they didn't want to live anymore. It was not the first time Noah had done this kind of shady business, and under Zasuo's banner, even those who were more powerful than them did not dare to resist.
Before the two of them got close, a beam of light landed on the ground not far away, sweeping out a horizontal crack on the ground like cutting cheese.
"Stop there." Noah shouted with his hands behind his back. His aged voice reverberated in the canyon, giving off an extraordinary aura, "If you want to enter the Great Wasteland, please pay the entrance fee."
The two travelers were wearing cloaks that covered their heads and faces. Noah couldn't see them clearly because they were too far away. But that didn't stop him from doing business. He was already thinking about how much he should charge for the toll. At this time, when he finished speaking, the person standing in front threw a green crystal over. The green crystal reflected a green halo under the sunlight. Noah hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab the crystal of good quality and stuffed it into his pocket.
After paying the toll, the two travelers continued on their journey. Noah smirked and stretched out his hand. "Wait, there's still one more piece."
The person who threw the green crystal said in a deep voice, "One green crystal is already too much for two people's toll!"
To Noah's surprise, the other party was a woman. Noah smiled and said, "That was true in the past, but the price has increased now."
"Oh, then you can talk to it." The cloak suddenly rose, and the moment it was lifted, one could see the crazy curves in the cloak. Then, an arm stretched out from the cloak, and in that hand, a light blue dagger exuded ferocity like the fangs of a ferocious beast.
It was a pity that Noah and the gatekeepers didn't have the right to sense this aura. However, the curves under the cloak and the slender arms made the young gatekeepers gulp involuntarily. Noah frowned and said, "Look at the flag on the door. This is the battle flag of Lord Bone King Zasuo. Do you want to go against Lord Zasuo's will?"
The woman snorted. At this moment, her companion behind her reached out and patted her shoulder lightly. The woman reluctantly put away the dagger and threw out another green crystal. Noah unconsciously heaved a sigh of relief. He caught the green crystal and shouted, "What are you waiting for? Open the door!"
The two gatekeepers looked at each other and whispered, "Actually, the toll can be raised a little more."
"What did you say?" Noah narrowed his eyes.
"We mean to let that woman stay and play with us once."
"Play my ass!" Noah turned around and kicked that person. "Hurry up and go open the door!"
The two gatekeepers left disgruntledly. One of them muttered, "If it wasn't for Lord Zasuo, would this old guy still be so awe-inspiring?"
Noah heard this, but he did not lose his temper. He knew his position very well. It was fine to lose his temper occasionally, but if he was calculative about everything … Even if Zasuo took care of him, he might die in a dark corner one morning. Zasuo remembered that he had once blocked a knife for him, but he was far from pursuing the matter for a useless old subordinate. The old man knew his own limits.
If it was any other time, he could not be bothered to care about what those bastards were thinking. But this time, it was a little different. He could not feel the will on the woman's dagger, but his intuition told him that the two of them were not simple. Moreover, there was an unwritten rule in the Great Wasteland. If it wasn't necessary, don't provoke those who could return from the Forgotten Realm, especially those warriors.
Noah only wanted to make some money, not to lose his life.
The door slowly opened under the rotation of rusty gears. Noah gestured for the two of them to pass through. He walked back to the tower and watched the two of them enter the canyon behind the door. Only then did he truly relax. After all, after passing through this door, it was none of his business what happened in the Great Wasteland.
Behind the iron gate was the canyon. As they walked, shadows would occasionally flash past them. They were flying ships to and from the Great Wasteland. These flying ships had no obvious signs and were of different styles. Most of them were cargo ships and frigates between the two empires. The two people in the canyon occasionally stopped, and the person behind them would occasionally raise his head to look at the passing flying ship. The woman in front whispered, "Master wants the flying ship?"
The man raised his head again. This time, his hat fell off, revealing a head of short silver-white hair. This person was Allen, who had come from the Forgotten Realm. The other was naturally Trisley.
Allen chuckled, "Why, do you have a way to get it?"
"It's not difficult. If you want to buy or rob, you can get a few of them."
Allen lowered his head and said, "That's not what I want."
"Then you …"
