The Minotaur sneezed, leaned against the city gate with his weapon in his arms, and began to recall how powerful the succubus was the night before. Not only did that little bitch suck all his essence, she also emptied his wallet. His companions also looked sleepy and unhappy, and began to complain to him: "What a bad luck! I was assigned to be on duty at this time. We just had an elemental storm, there is no money to be made."
Anyone who enters the main city must pay coins, and the guards on duty at the city gate can take the opportunity to raise the price and steal some money. However, during the elemental storm, except for the powerful, no one will wander around in the wild, and everyone will stay in the 72 main cities and wait for the elemental storm to pass.
Just as the Minotaur was about to nod in agreement, he saw a figure approaching from afar. It was a traveler dressed in a rather strange way... He was holding a book in his hand, and was wearing a tattered black robe. His features were barely covered by an equally tattered hood, and only some black hair could be seen. As he got closer, the Minotaur could smell the bloody smell emanating from the black robe. The black robe seemed to be woven from dark elements, and was filled with dark elements everywhere, as well as a faint smell of the dead.
The Minotaur felt a little confused. With his great swordsman strength, he could tell that the man was too weak to withstand a single blow, but everything he saw told him that it was not that simple. Seeing that the strangely dressed traveler was about to pass them and enter the city of Harpas, his companion shouted, "Stop!"
The man stopped and turned his body. Although he couldn't see, the Minotaur felt that he was frozen in place by the piercing gaze under the hood. He looked at the black hair that appeared from the hole, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. He immediately stopped his companion who wanted to show off his power. Under the puzzled gaze of his companion, the Minotaur took a step forward and said with a little respect: "Sir, you need to pay 10 silver coins to enter the city."
The man paused, then took out 10 silver coins from his pocket and handed them to the Minotaur. The Minotaur immediately took them respectfully and said in a humble tone: "I hope you will have a pleasant experience in Harpas City."
After the man left, his companion looked at the ten coins in shock: "Lao Niu, the entrance fee is 15 silver coins! Are you crazy?!"
The Minotaur looked at his companion like an idiot: "Do you know what I just said?"
His companion shook his head. In the previous conversation, the Minotaur did not use the common language of the continent, but a language he had never heard of before.
"Ancient demon language. Only high-level demons can use this language. I only know these two sentences." The Minotaur said, "Didn't you see his black hair? Although you can't see his eyes, he must be a high-level demon with deep purple eyes!"
The Celestials use the number of wings to divide their strength levels, while the Demons' strength is concentrated in their eyes. Every high-level Demon has black hair and purple eyes, and the darker the purple, the stronger the strength.
The Minotaur's companion finally reacted and was immediately frightened: Fortunately, he was restrained and did not offend the high-level demon.
At the same time, a certain "high-level demon" was also feeling scared: Fortunately, the brother who delivered the medicine was very helpful, and the inheritance he left behind was enough for him to pay for the entrance fee to the city.
Clearly in the original version of "Mixed-Blood", the protagonist did not have to pay to enter the main city... Well, at that time, the brutal protagonist used force to occupy a main city, so who would dare to ask him for an entrance fee?
Compared to the abuse, how happy it was when reading the novel, how sad Du Ze is now. Because of the serious injury, the protagonist was unconscious for longer than he was awake, and because there was no food and medicine, the coma time was increasing, and Du Ze could only worry. As soon as the black rain stopped, Du Ze ran out to find a way to survive. This time he was lucky, and he found a main city in a few tries, which was closed because of the elemental storm.
After waiting for the elemental storm to pass, Du Ze spread out the black robe that looked like a rag. Looking at the holes on it, he thought it was a new-age reverse bikini outfit—the important parts were not covered at all! It would definitely expose her nipples after she put it on. So Du Ze shamelessly took off the wool vest on Xiu's body and put it on, covering his appearance with the black robe, and rushed to the main city with a few coins and doujinshi that he found in the package of the medicine delivery brother. However, Du Ze did not expect that he had to pay an entrance fee to enter the city, so the money he had left was pitifully little.
Du Ze stared at the few copper coins in his hand. He had just walked around the street and found that the money he had could only buy one piece of clothing, three days of food, or a bottle of potion.
Please learn the art of clones＿（；з」∠）＿……
A penny can make a hero fall. What makes Du Ze want to cry the most is that he is now completely hungry despite having a mountain of gold.
In the world of "Mixed Blood", strength is the standard for dividing levels, and strength is divided into internal strength and external strength - equipment. As long as the equipment is good, a magic apprentice can kill a magician. Therefore, people in this world are enthusiastic about high-quality equipment, and dwarves who are good at forging equipment are especially popular. The weapons they forge are in great demand. Dwarves are a branch of gnomes, and their forging techniques are passed down from gnome civilization, although most of the secrets have been lost. The excellent equipment made by dwarves can already cause a bloody storm, so if gnomes make them... hehe.
Therefore, in the novel, whenever the protagonist runs out of money, he will change into a dwarf form to make some equipment, and then take those [emphasis line] used for practice, those casually made [/emphasis line] defective products to the auction to sell, and then it will cause a sensation across the continent. Countless nobles and strong men fight for those defective products, and the protagonist waves away all the money. By the way, all the finished products of the protagonist are used to arm his women and troops to the teeth.
What a lovely and amazing gold finger, but the current situation is: the gold finger holder is seriously injured; the protagonist's dwarf form has awakened, but there are no materials and tools for him to show his wealth-making ability.
Food, clothes, or potions, this is a choice.
Du Ze continued to wander the streets without giving up. His social barriers ensured that he would not bargain with the other party. In the 72 main cities where demons were everywhere, Du Ze was also afraid that if he said too much, he would reveal his silly and cute identity - especially in this city of Harpas.
As mentioned before, there are seventy-two cities on the other side of the continent, and each city believes in a demon god. The demon god worshipped by the city of Harpas is naturally Harpas: the thirty-eighth demon god among the seventy-two demon gods, his title is "The Count of Death and Destruction", and he appears in the image of a large black dove with blood-red eyes - this clearly shows that the author was too lazy to think of a name, so he found the "Seventy-two Demons of Solomon" that matched the setting on Baidu and directly applied it, how worry-free!
Du Ze now deeply understood how shameful it was to tolerate Yi Ye Zhi Qiu's lazy behavior. Harpas, one of the 72 demons of Solomon, had this attribute: he mainly ate human flesh and was not very friendly to humans. So Harpas in "Mixed Blood" also "mainly ate human flesh and was not very friendly to humans", and the Harpas City Lord who believed in Harpas naturally "mainly ate human flesh and was not very friendly to humans".
I also want to be the mainstay of the author, so I am not very friendly to the author.
A group of demons gathered on the road ahead, whispering to each other around a notice board. Du Ze hesitated for a moment, then approached cautiously. He didn't dare to go in too deep, so he could only eavesdrop on the situation from the outside.
"Tsk tsk, the city lord is really capable this time."
"One, two... five zeros, one hundred thousand gold coins! That's a lot of money!"
"Wake up, that's not prepared for you. Can you hand over a weapon that will satisfy the city lord?"
…
Du Ze was shocked. One hundred thousand gold coins was equivalent to 100 million soft girl coins on Earth. The city lord of Harpas was simply spending a fortune for a good weapon. He underestimated the pursuit of equipment by people in other worlds. But Du Ze was exhausted after being shocked. Why did such a delicious side story appear in front of him now? For him now, it was like a hot girl stripping naked in front of him, and he had the ability to get on her, but at this time the hot girl said to him with a smile: I'm having my period.
Du Ze ran away crying.
Avoiding the crowd, Du Ze's vision suddenly became wide, and he came to the square of Harpas City. In the center of the square was a big black dove statue, representing Harpas. Du Ze was stunned, because he saw a person under the statue. It was a man in green clothes, holding a book in his right hand, and in front of him was a stall filled with various boxes and boxes.
——No way, why would this guy refresh here?
Du Ze would know the person on the other side, because the man in green is a relatively outstanding supporting character in "Mixed Blood": he is a businessman with a mysterious origin. The protagonist has had several transactions with him, and both parties are happy. His name seems to be... Dan?
The first time the protagonist met Dan was a classic melodrama: the protagonist always saw some inconspicuous objects on some stalls while walking on the street. It turned out that those inconspicuous objects were basically submerged artifacts, and Dan's stall had an artifact. Du Ze's eyes unconsciously glanced at the boxes and crates on the stall. Dan's stall was always filled with these boxes and crates. No one knew what was inside. Only after buying could they be opened. As for what was opened, it was completely up to the buyer's luck. The protagonist's luck was beyond explanation, so he opened an artifact.
Demonic sword. Burning desire.
The controversy surrounding this artifact is as great as that surrounding the cat. As the name suggests, the attack power of the Devil Blade Fenyu is extremely powerful, but it will also amplify the user's desires, eventually causing the user to be controlled by the blade and become a bloodthirsty lunatic. The protagonist will naturally not be controlled by a mere Devil Blade, but he is still affected by it and becomes more and more brutal. When Yi Ye Zhi Qiu explained this, the readers below all laughed "Haha". They have become so used to it that they are numb - placing a healing person next to the protagonist, will the author die? Will the author die? ?
No matter how the original readers criticized the author, for Du Ze now, it was like a dream come true. He immediately felt that he could flirt with the hot girl who was having her period again. As long as they could exchange the magic sword from Dan and then sell it to the city lord, they would have the starting money to conquer the world.
With the protagonist in my hand, the world is mine.
Dan is a very strange businessman. He doesn't care about money, he only takes things that interest him. Du Ze began to analyze what he could do to interest Dan, and the only thing he could think of was his equipment that could be restored over and over again. Glasses, headphones, etc. couldn't be sold, so the only thing left was...
Du Ze looked at the doujinshi in his hand, which he couldn't bear to part with, and turned back to the market. He bought food and water for the day, and spent the remaining money on a short jacket, then found a secluded place to change his clothes. A certain silly and cute boy walked towards the square with a woolen vest in his hand.
I'll miss you, Xiaomao.
Dan was sitting on a low chair, flipping through the book in his hand carelessly. A shadow fell, and Dan raised his head to see a man in a tattered black robe standing in front of him.
Dan immediately put on a professional smile: "Would you like to try your luck? Buy a box~"
The man in black robes said nothing, but scanned the stalls, then randomly ordered a small copper box. Dan picked up the small box and smiled at the man in black robes: "You want this? You are a new customer, so I have the audacity to remind you that we don't charge money..."
The man in black robe interrupted Dan's words. He handed over a piece of clothing with a peculiar design and said, "Exchange it with this."
Dan took the dress, looked at it several times, and then said very tactfully: "I don't need clothes."
"You can't destroy it."
"Huh?" Dan's interest was instantly piqued, and he asked tentatively, "Do you mind if I try it?"
The man in black robe said nothing, but acquiesced.
Dan loosened his grip, and the strange-looking dress did not fall to the ground, but began to burn in the air until it turned into a small pile of ash. Dan stared at the ash, but did not see the scene he had expected. Just as Dan was about to speak, he heard the voice with a strange accent said coldly and stiffly: "When the double moon reaches the top, you will see it again."
"You mean when it will recover? At midnight?"
The black robe moved, and the person inside nodded.
Dan cunningly concealed his aroused interest and said to the man in black robe with some embarrassment: "Sir, it's still some time before midnight and there's no way to prove it - of course I'm not doubting you, but small businesses should always be cautious..."
The man in black robes said nothing, but this strange silence made Dan suddenly feel like he couldn't continue. He coughed and said, "I will stay here until midnight. If it is really as you said, I will give you what you want with both hands."
The man in black robes still didn't speak, but one could sense his hesitation. Dan was a smart man, and he immediately suggested, "If you trust me, you can go do other things first, and I will stay here. You can verify with the people around you--"
"Outside the city tomorrow." The black-robed man interrupted Dan again: "Bring something here."
After saying that, the man in black robe turned around and left without looking back. Dan stared at the back of the man, thinking that this was a really strange guest. He stretched out his hand, and the dust on the ground was gathered by an invisible force and gently fell into the hands of the man in green.
Come show him a miracle.
Du Ze didn't expect that he would get the titles and achievements of "Senior Demon" and "Strange Guest" during his one-day trip to Harpass City. He was rushing back, and the proud earphones were running out of power. As for the deal with Dan, from the original text of "Mixed Blood", although Dan is mysterious, he is still quite reliable and has helped the protagonist solve problems many times.
When Du Ze was about to return to the crevice between the rocks, he suddenly felt a chill, as if something unknown was staring at him and he had no way to escape.
——That was the first time he saw a blood pact beast.
A human figure constructed entirely of blood-red runes fell in front of him weightlessly. The face constructed of runes had no facial features, but Du Ze felt like it was saying: I found you.
Du Ze's eyes blurred, and the blood-red figure disappeared. Xiu was standing not far away, staring at him with a pale face.
"Where are you going...?"
Although the headset was a bummer again, Du Ze had already heard the general idea. Du Ze didn't expect Xiu to come to him after waking up, and even used the blood contract. Does this mean that he finally has a place in the protagonist's heart?
Because his earphones were out of battery, Du Ze could only shake the food in his hand to indicate that he had just changed the food.
Xiu seemed a little stunned, then asked: "......?"
Du Ze guessed that he was asking where the food came from, but without the aid of his hearing aid, he couldn't speak. He knew he should explain to Xiu because dwarves are sensitive and curious, in other words, they are always very suspicious. But Du Ze just couldn't speak, the sound was stuck in his throat, resisting to come out.
——Aze is just an idiot...what he says is so hilarious.
Without waiting for Du Ze's explanation, Xiu seemed to be unable to hold on any longer. He had just woken up and found that Du Ze was not there, so he almost forced himself to stand up and go out to look for his belongings.
...I can't stand it.
The white shirt was stained red again due to the bleeding. Du Zexin ran to support Xiu who seemed to be about to fall down at any time. At the moment he supported him, Xiu held him tightly. The dwarf raised his head, and his amber eyes were unusually bright.
“Don’t…”
Du Ze tried hard to listen, but only heard the word "don't" at the beginning. He looked at the dwarf's eyes, which looked pitiful and moist due to pain, and instantly put himself in the shoes of a sick child who was crying and acting cute to adults. So the sentence should be "Don't leave me"?
Emma is so cute!
So under Xiu's gaze, a certain cute little thing nodded very firmly, and nodded again for fear that the other party didn't see clearly.
Whenever the silly readers think of this in the future, they will beat their chests and stamp their feet. Xiu's desire to control him started from here, and then became uncontrollable. How stupid must he be to regard that aggressive gesture as coquettishness and even nodded twice!
Du Ze returned with his "soft and cute" protagonist. After they left for a long time, there were some fluctuations in the air and a figure appeared.
Dan tapped his head with the book in his right hand, looked in the direction the two men left, and gave an ambiguous smile.
"Oh my, what do I see, a human and a... dwarf?"
