Chapter 47 Another colleague?
"But why does the prison situation that Tang Ken talks about sound more and more familiar the more I hear it?"
The more Colin listened to Tang Ken's words, the more he felt something was wrong.
this.
It can't really be the same dungeon, right?
Colin was puzzled, and after asking a few more questions, he was basically sure, hey, it's really the same old place, but it's not a prison, and he doesn't suffer from "lycanthropy".
And now he has clarified some doubts through communication with Tang Ken.
For example, the other party has already died once, and the place of death is the place where the signal was cut off last time.
As for how he died
It was quite different from what he had guessed before.
After Duncan opened his eyes, although he found that the message could not be sent out, he was able to determine the location of the bonfire, and he had a task to go to the location of the bonfire.
So he broke away from the group at that time and chose to start on his way.
As a result, as soon as he went out, he was dragged into a burrow by a group of hungry mobs, and was invited to eat a feast of food.
The main material is him.
The only lucky thing was that when he was tied to the stone table and his stomach was cut open, and he watched helplessly as he was being devoured, he broke free from his handcuffs, struggled violently, and then died after his head was smashed by a stone.
As soon as he opened his eyes again, the pain was over, he came to a dungeon, started his second life, and was being dragged out and escorted somewhere.
Compared with those mobs, the attitude of the guards in the dungeon is much better.
Listening to Don Ken's continuous reports, Ke Lin lamented that his luck seemed to be pretty good in this way.
At least you don't have to worry about being eaten along the way.
"By the way, Captain, I remembered that I might have seen a traverser in that cave."
Time traveler? The information in his mind stunned Colin. Thinking of other former colleagues who might exist, he quickly responded: "Tell me about the time traveler."
"I'm not sure, but I vaguely remember that there seems to be a person dressed like a monk in the cave, who is very respected."
"Monk?"
Colin was even more confused in his heart.
As far as he knows, the painting style of this world is close to Western ancient times, or to be more precise, closer to Western ancient times in fantasy cultural works.
Suddenly a monk appeared, and something seemed a little wrong with his painting style.
So the probability of being a fellow countryman is very high.
"I can roughly confirm that he was wearing a cassock, the kind worn by Tang Monk in Journey to the West, but he only wore this cassock, exposing his left chest. The rest was tied up without being seen clearly."
"understood."
Colin touched his chin, guessing that it was probably the "Big Eater"? A person who looks like another colleague or another time traveler?
"By the way, Bonfire Company's extra mission before, to capture the followers of the Big Eater alive, was that what the company had discovered at that time?"
As his thoughts turned, he decided to go there and search after Tang Ken was robbed.
Judging from Tang Ken's description, the "big eater" should not be extremely strong and should be at a stage where he can handle it.
"With my current strength, even if I really face an employee with full D-level authority, I can still run away even if I can't defeat him."
Although "Time Stasis" did not give him the ability to activate unparalleled power, it gave him the capital to escape when in danger.
Coupled with the fact that I used a numerology book to check the bad luck before going there, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Thinking of this, Colin collected his thoughts and turned to look outside the car again.
The place they were passing by now had higher terrain, and they could clearly see the outline of a towering city standing on the ground in the distance.
The walls of the city are gray-black. There are many patrolling soldiers on the walls who look as big as ants from a distance, as well as some defenses like giant bed crossbows.
By talking to the soldiers, Colin learned that the name of the city was "Black Rock City".
This is the largest city he has seen since coming to this world.
It may be two or three times larger than the Land of Death and the city where the Human Suture Monster is located combined. The only thing that can compare with it is the equally huge and miraculous underground maze.
"There are no artillery on the fortifications on the city wall. They are still mainly cold weapons. Well, they may be long-range cold weapons with some magic and ruthlessness added."
Colin opened his eyes slightly, dilating his pupils to take in more light, and taking advantage of the fact that the terrain was high enough, he could see clearly the appearance of the city, which was still a few kilometers away in a straight line.
From this point of view, it seems that the human suture monster has not spread the knowledge it knows.
Otherwise, I might be using a magic cannon now.
Then, he slightly shifted his gaze and looked at an area outside the city. There was a vast plain over there, which was also the area where the dungeon was located.
"I was driving at night, but I didn't expect that the city was behind me. But having said that, I'm not far away from Tang Ken now. If I run as hard as I can, I might be there in ten minutes. If I want to rob the prison, I can do it while no one is paying attention. Stopping and leaving counts as a choice.”
Colin was somewhat hesitant. If he did this, his current identity would be scrapped.
He also wanted to use this identity to enter the town and have a look.
"We'll go into the city later and look for opportunities."
Colin made a decision in his heart.
Not long after, the carriages and vehicles arrived at the foot of Black Rock City, and a disgusting and unpleasant stench surged in. Colin covered his nose and noticed that there were large tracts of ragged refugees outside this high city.
The number is at least several thousand, or even tens of thousands.
But because there is no good sanitation management, excrement is everywhere, mosquitoes and flies are flying around, and the stench is so high that it feels like you have arrived at a cesspool.
It wasn't until we got to the city gate that everything got better.
Since there were nobles in the car, they were let through without any inspection.
Some refugees looked at the carriage entering the city from a distance, with envy in their eyes.
Unfortunately, the huge high wall is almost like a chasm to them, and many people will never be able to cross it in their lifetime.
After the carriage ran over the rammed earth road with deep carriage marks at the city gate, it entered Blackstone City.
The world inside was not that good. Rough buildings made of earth, stone and wood were built in a haphazard manner. Many residents who were slightly better dressed looked over curiously.
After a while, the chaotic buildings began to become regular, and the materials changed into flat rectangular loess stones, and the ground was paved with stone bricks.
Not long after, the carriage stopped in front of a station that looked like a tavern.
"Sir, do you have somewhere to go?"
As soon as Colin came down, he saw Helena coming to ask, followed by the warden and the old housekeeper beside her.
Why would Ms. Helena use honorifics on an ordinary person? Warden Calder was a little surprised when he looked at the figure in front of him that had seemed familiar to him before.
You know, he just said a few cold words to each other along the way, and this important person from a noble family didn't take anything back. Now he is so polite to a person who is riding in a car with a soldier?
And from this tone, it seems like you still have the idea of inviting?
What kind of big shot is this?
Calder couldn't help but glance at Colin twice. In the end, it was better not to look at him. Once he looked at him, he realized that he looked more and more familiar.
But for a while I just couldn't remember who it was.
Tsk, isn't it just to give a proposition when I open my mouth? Colin was speechless, just when he was about to bite the bullet and respond with a hoarse voice.
Suddenly, a scream came from the street not far away:
"Help!!!"
