Chapter 67: The Black Knight

Chapter 67: Black Knight
Outside the town of Prey.

Rock lowered his head, feeling ashamed for saving his brother before he left: "What should we do now? Without Prey Town, we have nothing."

Brother Ronin was panting. It was quite difficult for him to march quickly given his fat body. His fat body slowed down his speed, but they had to find a place to stay before the sun set.

After looking back several times on the way and making sure that Linde had not sent anyone to hunt him down, Roning was a little surprised that there would actually be such a stupid person who would keep his promise.

Hearing his brother's voice, Ronin became even angrier: "Go around the foothills of Red Dragon Mountain, then go south, go to Goliath or somewhere else, and find the old nobles. If we still want to survive."

"Not a new noble?" Rock looked up in confusion.

Even though the new nobles at the foot of Red Dragon Mountain had a bad impression of his two brothers because of the loss of Prey Town, everyone knew that the new nobles were the rulers of the new world.

What benefit would it bring to join the old aristocracy who are rotting and growing fungi like rotten wood?

"We ourselves have the label of old aristocracy!" Roning wanted to roll a fireball and press it on his brother's head. Maybe a random stone or even a pile of feces on his neck would be more useful than his head.

"Even if we don't have noble blood, we once swore allegiance to the old nobility!"

Rock opened his mouth and retorted: "We can also swear allegiance to the new nobles."

"They have no shortage of people who want to be loyal to them, but they lack the heads of old nobles to use as decorations." Roning revealed the essence of the matter.

Ronin, who was able to survive in this world, not only quickly integrated into the rhythm of the apocalypse, but also maintained the political sensitivity before the apocalypse.

"Either possess absolute power or rely on absolute power." Roning turned his head again and looked behind him. From his position, he could no longer see Prey Town.

In his original plan, he would hide in a remote corner of the kingdom and rule the world. If he could develop a more advanced potion with the help of the Rabbit-tooth Witch, he might be able to complete the process of transformation from "old" to "new".

As long as I become a great knight, all problems can be solved.

It's a pity that I have such a stupid brother.

The two brothers deliberately avoided the direction of the Star Dragon Outpost and took a small path.

The whistling of the wind suddenly became rapid.

The loud bangs of "dong dong dong" were like hammers hitting the ground rhythmically.

Luo Ning immediately realized something was wrong. His body's survival instinct was faster than his brain's reaction speed. He fell to the ground, rolled into a ball, and spun on the ground, avoiding the "hammer" that was hitting him.

"Puff!" Something hot splashed on my face.

Roning, who was lying on the ground, finally looked up, only to see that his brother Rock, who had just walked side by side with him, was split in half from the waist, leaving only the lower half of his body.

The blood gushed out like a fountain.

"Rock!" Roning had no time to feel sad. He jumped forward on the ground with his belly bulging like a jumping frog, and his body quickly rose on the spot and moved a distance forward.

A black shadow attacked, and the long-handled weapon struck the spot where Ronin had just been lying.

This time, Roning finally saw the other person's appearance clearly.

monster.

It looks like a horse, but if it is a horse it is too big. It looks very much like a creature called "elephant" that appears in the southwestern desert.

Its body is covered with long black hair.

There is no horse neck, but instead a huge beast's mouth with bared fangs and no eyes.

A human's upper body grew above the "horse's" hind legs. It was called a centaur, but the length of its human body was not in the front limbs but in the hind limbs, which looked too weird.

He held a spear in both hands.

The tip of the gun was still dripping with blood from his brother.

It looks like a knight riding on the butt of a wild beast, capable of both offense and defense, yet full of weirdness.

Roning prayed to Uni in his heart, and magical power gathered in his palm.

The black knight did not move, but grinned as he watched Ronin prepare his magic.

Not until the fireball, which was powerful enough to melt steel, distort space, and drip with turbid currents, was successfully condensed in his palm did the Black Knight finally take action, rushing towards Ronin with the sound of a sledgehammer hitting the ground.

Fireballs are thrown.

"Snapped!"

The fang-like mouth in front of the black knight, the scalding fireball that could melt steel, was easily bitten and shattered by that mouth! The flames burst, but did not bring much damage.

The Great Knight!
The black knight turned into a gust of wind and raised his spear. Roning suddenly felt his head break free from the restraints of his bloated body and fly towards the sky... higher and higher.

"I heard it!" Luo Ning was surprised: "It's Yuni's..."

Until his death, Roning's face was filled with surprise and enlightenment.

"Bang!" The head hit the ground, leaving a large piece of red pulp.

The huge horse hoof chased after Ronin and stepped on his head, easily crushing it and causing the blood plasma to explode radially.

Soon the sound of hooves became farther and farther away, and to the black knight, it seemed like just a trivial thing.

……

Prey Town is still very wealthy. Especially when Lind saw the mutated draft horse, the smile on his face was almost unconcealed. Equine animals are the real wealth.

All the things of the blacksmith in Prey Town must be taken with you, of course the most important one is the blacksmith’s wife Lian.

Miss Miko, the rabbit-toothed witch, and her huge package took over a carriage.

There were no undead accompanying them on this return trip. Lind did not issue an escort mission because the undead were immersed in exploring the town of Prey.

Picking up trash and searching boxes. Old Cherry called this group of people "Undead Knights". He believed that the undead were Lind's loyal subordinates and showed them great respect.

Lind had never thought of letting Old Cherry master the method of commanding the undead players. The only place where the system could issue tasks was the Star Dragon Outpost.

"Sir, please drink some water."

Lian came to Linde carrying a water bag.

It was getting dark and they were halfway through their journey, so they took a break.

Lian seized the opportunity and moved closer to Linde.

Lind glanced at the water bag, thanked him, unplugged it and poured the water into his mouth.

The water was icy cold, but with Lind's body temperature it wasn't a big deal.

Moreover, it has a refreshing fragrance and sweetness.

Linde looked at the water bag in his hand with some confusion, then he sniffed slightly and smelled the sweet smell from the kettle.

The source of the taste is Lian.

She picked up a black dried fruit and put it into her mouth.

"This is a sour plum." Lian noticed Linde's gaze, so she pinched another dried fruit with two white fingers and put it in front of Linde.

He already knew the source of the sweet and sour taste.

This woman is very capable!
Miss Miko, who was standing by, looked at the two of them as if she was watching a play.

When Lind turned his head to look at her, she immediately smiled, her cheeks raised high, her little rabbit teeth looked very cute, and her crescent-shaped eyes seemed to say that she was innocent and saw nothing.

"Can this kind of sour plum be grown?" Lin De took the dried fruit from Lian's hand and looked at it in front of his eyes.

Lian replied, "It seems to be the fruit of a mutant plant. The skin is thick and sour, but it tastes sweet and sour after being pickled with honey."

Are you really the blacksmith's wife and not the mistress of some blacksmith god?!
Marinated with honey, what a luxury!

Lind doesn't have any sugar to eat now, so there is no way he would waste the sweetness to make this kind of dried fruit.

The dead blacksmith was too good to his wife.

"Hmm." Linde's thoughts drifted away slowly. The more things that could be cultivated and planted, the better. He had a group of hardworking serfs who would rather spend money to farm.

"Sir?" Lian found himself being left out, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "Sir?"

She wanted to gain an advantage over the girl with rabbit teeth, but her charm was outshined by a black dried fruit! She couldn't accept it.

"Let's go now that we've rested enough." Lin De didn't care about Lian's reaction: "There will be a lot of trouble after dark. Going back early can avoid trouble."

"Yes~" Lian sat in the carriage behind Linde reluctantly. Fortunately, Linde did not refuse this time, but he was lost in thought and obviously had no intention of paying attention to him.

Seeing that there was no hope, the Rabbit-Tooth Witch on the sidelines protected her package from beginning to end, and nothing could make her leave.

Even if you are having fun, you can't lose your treasure!
Walking along the path, under the shining western sun, the mountains in the distance that grew arbitrarily like fangs began to reveal their hideousness.

The Star Dragon Sentry, lying on the horizon like a beetle, also appeared in the eyes of the two women.

The flying smoke was like a dark cloud-making machine, pinching dark clouds into the sky and making the already dark sky even darker.

The smell is pungent, the sky is filled with wood ash, and the air pollution is serious.

"Is this the Star Dragon Outpost?" Miss Micko looked at the building in front of her, feeling a little surprised.

It was different from the military camp outpost she had imagined, nor did it seem like a remote and poor place. She couldn't even think of a suitable adjective. She just felt that this place was very strange.

A group of people were building some large machines, such as catapults and crossbows, and he even saw a group of people smelting iron!

These technologies are all confidential. Even in the Tianxing Magic School, you will not be allowed to read related knowledge unless you have completed a certain level of credits.

Why can people here be so calm and use so many low-level things to replicate.

Pieces of iron ingots were thrown aside, shocking Miss Micko's spirit.

She even had a feeling that the way this group of people refined iron ingots seemed more efficient.

However, it seems that the iron ingot contains a lot of impurities.

There was another group of people nearby who were removing the debris using another method, with a clear division of labor.

It seemed like there was some formula that he kept repeating to himself.

Miss Micko was just a little curious. She was not an alchemist, but an orthodox potion witch who specialized in her own field.

"This is Star Dragon Outpost." Lind nodded: "You will get used to life here."

The undead really change every day. I didn't expect that it would accelerate their industrialization. It's a pity that even if they really made bullets, their power would hardly threaten a real great knight, let alone injure a higher-level great knight.

Just as Lind led the two women into the Star Dragon Outpost, the undead had already noticed the situation here and quietly came over to observe.

The two young and beautiful female NPCs are bound to cause a huge sensation, especially Miss Micko, whose appearance is so suitable for the taste of otakus.

"There's a new NPC!"

"After conquering that Prey Town, it's normal to have a new group of NPCs."

"Finally, a good-looking NPC has arrived. I declare that you are now my wife!"

"Put on your pants first!"
