Chapter 3296: Friendly Force +1
"Flame Lord, Os · Guin? Isn't this Donkey Brother? Except for him, no one would dare to call himself the Flame Lord."
Baja was very surprised. It never expected that the first client to open business would be Donkey Brother.
"Yes, it is the Donkey Brother who pulled me out several kilometers with one hammer."
Caesar signaled to follow, and walked out sneakily.
Su Xiao didn't ask too much. Since Caesar chose to treat Donkey Brother as a client, there must be a reason. He could not believe Caesar's character, but he could not believe that Caesar was not greedy for money. Selling himself, compared to the benefits brought by continuing the cooperation in potions, was not on the same level.
Out of the courtyard, the street was empty. After the curfew, unless there were very special circumstances, one couldn't go out. Seeing the night patrol, one had to raise their hands high and explain the reason. If the matter was indeed urgent, then it was fine. If not, one would be half-dead if not dead.
Caesar walked at the very front. This guy looked around sneakily, and occasionally took out a map to scan a few times. After walking through several street areas, messy footsteps came from behind the street corner ahead.
Six members of the night patrol walked out. Because of the direction they turned, they didn't see Su Xiao and the others, which made Xiang Bubu Wang and Baja temporarily give up on concealment.
"Hey!"
Caesar suddenly gave a loud shout. Su Xiao saw with his own eyes that among the six night patrol members, two were so startled they almost jumped up.
"Who is it!!"
The night patrol captain's voice changed, both surprised and angry. The person not only violated the curfew but also dared to shout to scare them. This was lighting a lamp in a latrine, looking for shit.
"Which bastard are you..."
The word "bastard" hadn't been spoken yet before it was held back by the night patrol captain. He extended the lantern in his hand forward and stared at Caesar. This made the night patrol captain's expression change from anger to surprise, then to depression, and finally revealed a bit of flattery.
"Mr. Caesar, why did you come out? It's so dangerous on the street in the middle of the night. How about we send you back?"
The night patrol captain wanted to make a gesture of invitation.
"I ask you, where is this."
Caesar pointed at the map with his finger. The night patrol captain leaned over to check, his face showing embarrassment.
"This..."
The night patrol captain was very speechless in his heart. Ignoring the curfew was one thing, but actually asking for directions?
The five people behind the night patrol captain were all looking at the sky, as if there were endless star seas there.
Did Caesar bribe the night patrol captain? No, Caesar bribed the biggest head of the night patrol department, and he was a distinguished guest invited by the Sea God, so no one dared to touch him.
"This is the lower city area on the map. Mr. Caesar, you should go back. You are like this~, it makes it very difficult for us."
"Take us to here. The terrain of the middle ring city is too complicated."
Caesar's request, seemingly adding extra trouble, was actually to pull people into the group. Violating the curfew would be a common occurrence in the future, so he had to bribe people in this regard. Currently, this night patrol captain named Berna was a good choice.
"Mr. Caesar, you should leave as soon as possible."
Captain Berna's flattery faded away.
"Yo, are you refusing?"
"Of course."
"The dirty money you received..."
"At most, I will be reprimanded."
"You are working for the people under the Great God Child in private."
"Caesar, are you... threatening me?"
Captain Berna's face was gloomy, and his hand approached the hilt of his sword.
"You even messed with your boss's wife, and got her pregnant, letting your boss help you raise your son..."
With a thud, Captain Berna knelt in front of Caesar, his face full of smiles, and said flatteringly: "Lord Caesar, we must set off as soon as possible. After 9 o'clock, two other night patrol teams will pass by here, and here."
Captain Berna leaned sideways in a kneeling position and pointed at two points on the map with his finger respectively.
"You kid, you have awareness."
Caesar patted Captain Berna on the shoulder, and soon, the group continued to set off. Captain Berna was added to the team.
Similar to this kind of "nail," Caesar had arranged many in these three days. Caesar was greedy, yes, but he did things steadily, which was mainly attributed to his fear of death.
After wandering around the middle ring area, arriving at the outer city area, Caesar found an abandoned statue, used this as a landmark, and the group walked into an underground passage from an abandoned ancient house.
Torches scorched the walls. The underground passage was about four meters wide and five meters high, and underfoot was a layer of sewage that just happened to submerge the shoes.
Only Su Xiao, Baja, and Caesar went deep into the underground passage. Xiang Bubu Wang guarded the entrance, and Captain Berna was on the surface.
Caesar, holding a torch, walked at the very front. He hadn't been here either. According to him, the client for this time was not Donkey Brother himself, but the Great God Child · Os · Conrad, which was the Sea God's eldest son, that filial son who really wanted to kill the Sea God.
Helping Donkey Brother with treatment, the commission came from Os · Conrad. No matter how you looked at it, this was a bit strange.
In the Sand World, Su Xiao had detected the Blazing Monarch's data and naturally knew that the other party's ultimate passive ability was to let the Flame Lord be reborn.
The introduction of that skill was: when the last royal descendant of the Os clan dies, it will awaken the Flame Lord, let it be reborn in the world, and carry out endless pursuit of the person who killed the last royal descendant until the other party dies.
The appearance of the Flame Lord, which was Donkey Brother, actually represented the extinction of the Os clan's bloodline. But in the main city, the Sea God was named Os · Atlantis, and the Great God Child was named Os · Conrad.
Su Xiao only thought of one possibility: occupying the magpie's nest. The underwater main city established by the Os clan was occupied by the Sea God. In order not to leave people with words, to let people catch the opportunity, the Sea God called himself Os · Atlantis, and gave his descendants the surname Os.
In Su Xiao's thinking, he had already walked into a building without water accumulation. This was a not-so-large abandoned hall. Against the wall on the right side of the hall were several steps, on which were full of candles.
Under the reflection of the candlelight, Su Xiao saw the figure crawling in the darkness, half-human and half-horse, with skin wet and covered in blood stains. It was Donkey Brother.
Donkey Brother had lost his initial grace. The scales on his horse body had fallen off, becoming bloody and blurred. His upper body was a bit twisted and deformed, with several ribs protruding.
Only half of the flesh on his head remained, revealing the skull and wide flat teeth. The hair on the top of his head, neck, and back, which were connected in a strand, was stuck together by blood stains. His eyes, still wrapped in flesh, were turbid.
"Os · Guin."
Su Xiao spoke. Hearing someone call his name, Donkey Brother's line of sight turned slowly.
"Who... are you."
Donkey Brother's voice was very weak. He was about to die. This was also the reason he didn't pursue the seafood (Zayas). As for the big white legs (Lilim) and the black bones (Wood), he couldn't take care of them even more.
"..."
Su Xiao didn't speak, letting Xiang Bubu Wang arrive as soon as possible. A few minutes later, Xiang Bubu Wang arrived, and all four aura abilities were fully opened.
"So it was, friend, thank you for your help in the last battle."
Donkey Brother supported the ground with one hand, and some blood water splashed on the ground. As he stood up, his aura recovered slightly.
"I, Os · Guin, never owe... favors, let alone... is... a life-saving grace. While I... can still move, let me, pay back this favor, please."
Donkey Brother was dead for sure. From entering this world until now, Su Xiao had seen beast-fication patients who were frenzied due to "spiritual beast-fication," and had seen poor people who became brain monsters due to "Sea's Grudge."
But Su Xiao had never seen anyone who simultaneously endured "spiritual beast-fication" + "Sea's Grudge." He once thought that the two were mutually exclusive and could not coexist.
The appearance of Donkey Brother let Su Xiao know that the two could coexist. Donkey Brother was enduring the double torment of "spiritual beast-fication" + "Sea's Grudge," and life was worse than death couldn't describe his current feelings.
Su Xiao raised his hand. Seeing this, Caesar and Xiang Bubu Wang began to retreat. 【3296-
"I must repay your kindness."
At some unknown moment, Donkey Brother had already gripped a long-handled nail hammer made entirely of dark gold. He sensed it; because he was too close to Su Xiao, he sensed the hatred hidden within his bloodline. This was the person who had personally killed the last bloodline of the Os clan. Donkey Brother did not strike immediately.
Su Xiao had a deep impression of this; the Sun Monarch was the only major boss he had ever killed in seconds, and the level of memorability was comparable to the Moon God.
"Now... I return the favor to you."
Donkey Brother tore a black gemstone pendant from his own neck and tossed it toward Su Xiao.
"Accept this insignificant gift. Be careful, I have already discovered that it was you who killed the last bloodline of my Os clan. What is your name?"
"Bai Ye."
"A marvelous fate, but... I am going to kill you."
Donkey Brother's hoof stamped on the blood on the ground, a faint light ignited within his single eye, and the long, blood-stained hair on his head moved without wind.
Clang—
Su Xiao drew the long blade at his waist; he would accept this treasure chest that had been delivered to his door.
