The ancient city walls were very tall and the city was also very large. He found a carriage at the city gate to take him to the nearest hotel in the east of the city.
After getting off the car and paying the fare, Lin Xiao did not look at the hotel. Instead, he turned around to look at the other side of the hotel. It was a seven or eight-story building, which was considered a very tall building in that era. There were big words "Dulun Evening News" written on the gate.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is just a newspaper office, but in Lin Xiao's eyes, the newspaper building looks a little weird, but he can't tell what's weird about it.
At this time, a clear female voice behind him said:
"Sir, you are blocking the road."
He turned around and saw three men and one woman preparing to leave the hotel. When he saw a mark on Lin Xiao's arm, the leader, a middle-aged man with a sword on his back and a full beard, asked:
"Are you a demon hunter too?"
Lin Xiao saw that the middle-aged man raised his arm and had a mark similar to his own, and nodded:
"I'm from Hollytown."
The middle-aged man laughed and said:
"I've heard that there's a demon hunter training camp in Holly Town. It's said that there was once a demon hunter master named Shadow there. Have you heard of him?"
"I haven't heard of it."
Lin Xiao shook his head. He had been gone for hundreds of years. The demon hunter master named Shadow was probably a master who emerged after he left.
"That's a shame!"
The middle-aged man changed the subject and said,
"My name is Leon, these are my companions and disciples. We are going to the City Lord's Mansion to receive the bounty mission. Do you want to come with us?"
"I'll book a room first."
"Oh well."
After saying goodbye to a few people, Lin Xiao booked a room in a hotel and spent some tips to get a general understanding of the city's situation from the hotel staff.
Just as the knight said before, there was indeed a large strange fragment that appeared in Duolun City, right above the city. A large amount of strange energy leaked into the city, causing a huge impact on the city's public security.
According to the hotel staff, many people died in the beginning. Later, Earl Doron offered a huge reward and invited many professionals to clean up the weird things. Now there are not many in the city. The ones that exist are extremely hidden or powerful weird things, and the reward is very high.
Of course, Lin Xiao didn't come here for the bounty, but for this large and strange fragment.
Once this thing can be completely purified, a fragment of the underlying basic rules can be obtained, which is a treasure that can work on true gods. Now that his true body has been deified, of course he needs this kind of good thing.
Although the main mission of this visit is to resolve the previous bond, it does not prevent him from getting some good things by the way.
The next day he came to the City Lord's Mansion in the center of the city. As soon as he entered the door, he paused. He sensed the aura of three sons of the divine realm in the City Lord's Mansion.
Subconsciously, I wanted to quit, but then I remembered that in this world, it seemed that the sons of the gods did not have to fight each other to death, unless they were snatching the strange fragments.
He calmed himself and strode into the city lord's mansion. Inside the wall was a large square with a row of stone tablets standing by the wall with many signs hung on them. More than twenty people were checking the stone tablets. The three Sons of the Divine Realm were among them: an old man, a knight in thick plate armor, and a young girl. Their races could not be determined for the time being, but they were definitely not human. The Sons of the Divine Realm in the same camp could usually sense them.
In this world dominated by humans, most of the sons of alien gods will adapt to local customs and transform into human form to carry out activities.
As soon as he came in, the three sons of the divine realm all looked at him. He walked to the stone tablet with an expressionless face, and the three of them withdrew their gazes.
No matter which divine civilization this is from, as long as they are not human, they are all enemies.
Most of the tasks on the stone tablets are to clear out the weirdness in the city, but on the most central stone tablet there is a series of tasks that require entering the large weird fragment in the air to explore, and the rewards are very generous.
These rewards are basically for the native professionals of this world. The Sons of God's Realm do not care about these rewards. They want to take the fragments away directly if the exploration is successful.
Lin Xiao randomly accepted a task and received a small badge, which gave him permission to take an airship into the strange fragments.
Generally, middle and lower-level professionals do not have the ability to fly and can only enter by relying on the airship provided by the City Lord's Mansion.
Holding the sign, he came to the southern part of Duolun City, where there was a square with signs of demolition. A large airship and five small airships were parked on it. He took out the token and a staff member led him into a small airship. There were six people with him, three of whom were actually sons of the alien gods.
These three sons of the divine realm seemed to belong to different civilizations. They all came alone and were wary of others.
Riding on the airship, rising slowly, when reaching an altitude of five or six hundred meters, he could clearly sense the distortion of the surrounding space, and a strange force began to affect them. Lin Xiao felt that under the influence of this force, his connection with the divine realm was getting weaker and weaker. At the same time, an item he carried with him that contained the power of his true body could not be used. This strange fragment could actually block them from opening the divine realm and the power of their true body.
Several other Sons of the Divine Realm who were sitting in each corner could no longer sit still and stood up one after another, but judging from the expressions on their faces, one could tell that this was just a subconscious reaction.
In other words, after entering the strange fragments, they can no longer borrow the power of their own divine domain and true body, and can only rely on their own strength.
"No wonder it's so dangerous!"
However, wealth and honor are achieved through risk. If it weren't dangerous, this thing would have been snatched away by others before he could even wait.
The airship entered directly into the huge vortex. Blood-red lightning exploded outside the porthole of the airship. The space became more and more distorted. The connection with its own divine realm slowly disappeared, and finally disappeared completely.
Lin Xiao tried to communicate with the Rubik's Cube of Creation and was able to communicate.
I wanted to try to transfer some things over with the help of the Magic Cube of Fortune, but then I thought that we haven't entered the strange fragment space yet, so I held back and didn't dare to try it in order to avoid any problems.
When the void in front of him was distorted to the extreme and everything in front of him became blurry, Lin Xiao did not move according to the instructions he saw in the City Lord's Mansion.
He didn't know how long it was before the blurry vision gradually became clear, and he was surprised to find a ray of sunlight outside the window. Following the sunlight, he saw a lush jungle that stretched as far as the eye could see.
The airship was slowly descending and landed on the edge of a stone building. Looking out of the window, one could see that this was a camp built in the jungle, surrounded by a high stone wall that kept the lush jungle out.
There were many figures walking around in the camp, and teams of soldiers were patrolling the camp.
The girl closest to the door was the first to go out, followed by the other two, and Lin Xiao was the last to go out.
Standing on the top of the stone platform and looking down, this camp is not very big, but there are a lot of people. All of them are dressed in strange clothes and carry weapons, and they all look like professionals.
Because of the space shielding, he couldn't sense their aura, nor did he know how many Sons of God from different divine civilizations were here. Lin Xiao was a little confused and stood there for a long time without moving.
Looking up at the sky, it was an extremely blue and clear sky. There were forests in all directions, and the treetops swayed gently in the breeze. I didn't see anything unusual.
"What about the weirdness? How can we purify this large weird fragment?"
He was totally confused.
Just as he was considering whether to look for other human sons of the divine realm, the sky suddenly darkened. He looked up quickly and saw that the sky, which had been blue just a moment ago, was rapidly darkening. Black clouds gradually formed in the clear sky and quickly gathered into large patches of dark clouds. But what shocked him the most was that the endless forest around him was withering at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into ashes and falling. It was as if the whole world was being destroyed.
Except for this base, the whole world was rapidly disappearing before his eyes. Blood-red lightning kept striking down. Lin Xiao's sharp eyes saw that there seemed to be some huge outline baring its fangs and claws in the clouds formed by the endless dark clouds in the sky.
Just then, he heard someone in the camp shouting:
"Come here from the human main world."
Lin Xiao's spirits perked up, and when he saw many people gathering over there, he quickly jumped down from the platform and ran over.
But just as he approached, a man in leather armor watched him approach, stopped him and asked:
"What is the name of the third largest city in Nanyun Province?"
Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment and shook his head:
"I know it's the capital of Nanyun Province, but who would pay attention to this third largest city if they're not locals?"
"Who is the Dean of Canaan Higher Education Institute?"
"have no idea"
"Please tell me the twenty-four solar terms in the ancient world of the Overworld."
"Ah, this."
He could name a lot of things like spring breeze, beginning of autumn, winter solstice, heavy snow, etc., but he really couldn't remember them all if he had to.
"Who is the tenth overall ranking of the 145th Super Freshman Summer Camp?"
".I go!"
Lin Xiao quickly recalled who ranked tenth in the Super Freshman Summer Camp he attended, but he really had no impression of it. No one even remembered who ranked second, so who would remember who ranked tenth.
Yes, he was asking about the session he had attended.
"Which goddess is known as the world's number one welfare girl?"
"Qing Wu Yue!"
The man looked at him as a fellow traveler, patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Okay, come on."
Lin Xiao was speechless. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. After a few steps, he couldn't help but whispered,
"Can we be sure that it's not a son of the God Realm from another civilization pretending to be me just by answering one question correctly?"
The man shook his head and said,
"No, I doubt you can answer all of them correctly. After all, these questions involve a very wide range of levels. The upper-class elites generally don't pay attention to trivial matters such as the ancient twenty-four solar terms in the main world, let alone know the name of a small city in Nanyun Province."
"Ordinary adventurers would not be interested in learning about the super freshman summer camp that only elites can participate in, nor would they know who the dean of Canaan Higher School is."
"If a son of a god from another god's realm civilization wants to impersonate someone, they might deliberately learn about these things, but they generally don't know what a welfare girl is. Only LSPs would pay attention to this."
Lin Xiao was stunned.
