Doomsday Mage Summons the Undead.

Chapter 247
What is an opportunity?

Opportunity is a time node that changes the destiny of life.

The most important thing in life is opportunity.

For Cheng Xiao, what is the most important opportunity?
Nothing is better than meeting those bards who dispatch the fire when they are dying.

When Cheng Xiao saw ten water vapor figures slowly gathering together, they turned into a thin figure that had faded from the mist and was wrapped in a black cloak.

Cheng Xiao saw at a glance that when the other party raised his cloak and squatted down slightly to check his injuries, on the exposed pale fingers were ten magic rings with flickering magic patterns.

Only the apostles, the powerful roaming powerhouses, or the legendary fire passers-by can possess so many magic props.

And the apostles, even when they are in a good mood, will save them.

However, when Qi Lin took out a dagger with flashing magic patterns, and asked Cheng Xiao about the post station's clues, he could exchange the dagger.

Cheng Xiao knew that Qi Lin was not a powerful wandering man, nor was he an apostle, nor was he the lost traveler that Qi Lin claimed to be.

But the person who spreads the fire.

Because the strong and wandering strong may have so many magic rings, but they seldom use the method of bartering to get what they want in such a situation where they are weak and strong.

Cheng Xiao, who has lived for most of his life, is very accurate in seeing people. He is very sure that as long as he knows the clue of the station, Qi Lin will definitely give him the magic dagger instead of taking back the dagger and killing himself to cut off all information.

But this made Cheng Xiao a little puzzled, because according to what the mercenary president and the mayor said, the fire bearers who brought them a better life in the apostle's mouth should appear one after another in a month or two.

But why did the person in front of him appear earlier?
Perhaps, this is because the person in front of him is powerful, the one who dispatches the fire among the fire passers-by?
The night was low and the starry sky was shining.

The mercenary father and daughter and Qi Lin gathered around the bonfire in the wild, forming a circle, and the warm light of the fire reflected on their faces, exuding a silent but peaceful atmosphere.

Daughter Alice lowered her head slightly, and her nervous slender fingers stirred together, she was a little afraid to look at Qi Rin.

Because from her father's whispered gestures, she knew that Qi Lin seemed to be the one who dispatched the firewood.

Among the bards who have traveled the world, they are all embers without fire.

What are embers without fire?
There is no standard answer to this term.

The only rumored answer that is still reliable is: because they were deprived of their spellcasting talent by the gods, they had no fire, and then turned into embers.

What is the person who dispatches the firewood?
This is why I have to mention a line in the bard's long and gorgeous chant: The fire has gradually extinguished, but the king's shadow is nowhere to be seen. Everyone, give your fire to the person who spread it.

According to the bard, the most powerful among the fire bearers is the one who dispatches the fire.

According to the news spread by the apostles, the person who spread the fire will replace the gods and give them a good life.

A small number of them came out of the city that fell from the sky, and as the messengers of the gods, they helped them rebuild their beautiful homes and improve their quality of life.

And, the most powerful among them, the one who dispatches the fire, has the ability to re-bless these fireless embers
Another chance to have magical talent!
Although these beautiful visions are just legends.

Some people also think that this is some kind of conjecture based on rumors.

But most people think that this is true!

Those who dispatch the fire can really make them, the sinners of the gods, regain their magical talents!
How else do you explain the multitude of cities that fell from the sky?
Cities that fell from the sky silenced those who refuted this statement.

After all, it is a miracle that only gods can create.

For ordinary people, it is beyond reach.

But even so, some people are still skeptical before the facts have been finalized, and before those people who have been dubbed "alien" and "foreigner" have not left the city.

Alice was the one who was skeptical before that.

But when her father Cheng Xiao gestured, and she saw the prepaid magic dagger.

Her doubts disappeared in an instant.

The reason is simple, the dagger that Qi Lin gave to his father Cheng Xiao has a small spell: water bomb.

It can stimulate a water bomb, the power of which is about equal to the strength of a high-pressure water jet.

This spell is very strange to Qi Lin, because in his opinion, wouldn't it be better to enchant the dagger with wind control, acceleration, strength, or flash?

Why is there a water bomb with a long-range attack?
Moreover, Qi Lin couldn't bear to look directly at the power.

But it is such a dagger that can't even be called tasteless, in Alice's view, it has become a strong evidence that Qi Lin is the one who dispatches the fire.

Because his father Cheng Xiao experimented, even if he didn't have the talent to cast spells, he could still release water bombs.

And the dagger can recharge itself by absorbing free magic power in the air, which can be released three times a day!

Doesn't this confirm what the bard said: the people who dispatch the fire can make them, the sinners of the gods, regain their magical talents!

Therefore, Alice seemed quite nervous when facing Qi Lin.

But Qi Lin didn't care whether the beauty in the big octopus' mouth was nervous or not.

Although from an aesthetic point of view, this Alice concealed her appearance with dirty things.

But the bumpy figure, oval face contour, high nose bridge and big eyes and other appearances fully showed that this is indeed a beauty embryo.

Although he is a little younger, in the eyes of some chosen ones, this is not
It's just that Qi Lin took a closer look at Alice just because he guessed what the big octopus said.

As for the idea of ​​love between men and women?

Qi Lin has nothing at all.

The only thing there is: a father with a Chinese appearance, black hair and yellow skin, but a daughter with a foreign name and appearance? ? ?
what is this?
Cheng Xiao's wife is a foreigner, so her daughter is of mixed race?

If the panel doesn't show that Cheng Xiao is a mutant, maybe Qi Linzhen thinks so.

But this doubt is just to think about it.

What Qi Lin has to do now is to get the clue of the post station, and then go to the town to deliver the letter and leave immediately by the magic teleportation circle.

Oh, if that apostle Natasha shows up and offers something good, Qi Lin can delay her work for a while.

But that's all there is to it.

As for other irrelevant people, Qi Lin has no time and no interest in understanding them.

The time flow of half a month in the secret realm made Qi Lin inexplicably anxious.

But the sky fails to fulfill one's wishes, and one's anxiety is of no use.

"The mobile auction house, it really won't appear until tomorrow afternoon?"

Beside the bonfire, Qi Lin asked Cheng Xiao again.

"My lord, the clues you gave are really too few"

Cheng Xiao looked puzzled, Qi Lin only gave the word post, and there is a magic teleportation array, maybe there are large aircrafts?
What is a large aircraft?
With just three key words, Cheng Xiao, who has lived in the steam town for many years, really doesn't understand where Qi Lin's post is.

And this can't be blamed on Qi Lin's secretiveness, because after the big octopus said you should find it yourself, he also said a hero to save the beauty, but didn't tell him the specific clues.

So Qi Lin's knowledge of the post station is limited to: some clues that the businessman said, and the clues that the big octopus said, and Qi Lin guessed that the hero's rescue of the beauty that the big octopus said at the end may have something to do with the post station, and the big octopus once said that the steam is small. Zhenben was not qualified to establish a post station, but he was qualified because of the appearance of the Prison Suppressing Army Secret Realm, and it is suspected that the post station can only be used by apostles at present, and these people have no idea that the post station exists.

And when Qi Lin gave all his known information, Cheng Xiao gave three clues after thinking hard: 1. There will be a mobile auction site near the satellite village on the outskirts of the steam town tomorrow afternoon, and they will auction There are many secret treasures including but not limited to slaves, intelligence, alien treasures, etc. Maybe you can find post information there.

2. In the entire town, the only one related to the magic teleportation array is Master Pug who runs the magic pharmacy.

3. The only thing related to the thing that can fly into the sky that Qi Lin explained later is the town.

Moreover, in clue 3, Cheng Xiao also mentioned that about half a month ago, a house fell from the sky in the town!
A flying wooden house!

A wooden house with wings!
A woman who looked blind but acted like an ordinary person walked out of the house. She was dressed plainly and spent a lot of money. She paid a lot of money to ask the mayor to send someone to repair the house.

After the house was repaired, he flew away with that woman!
Qi Lin's evaluation of this Arabian Nights story is: in an extraordinary world, appearances are never trustworthy, and distortion and indescribability are the essence!

As long as there is a flying saucer or something, Qi Lin will not be surprised at that time.

The result is a wooden house with wings that can fly.
"Maybe an apostle"

Qi Lin speculated indifferently at the time.

After hearing Cheng Xiao's answer, Qi Lin has sent ghosts to a small town not far away to investigate.

As for the mobile auction site, according to reports from the surrounding ghosts, they did not see any mobile auction site like a yurt.

Looks like we can only wait until tomorrow afternoon
Qi Lin looked at the troubled Cheng Xiao and signaled: "Okay, then wait until tomorrow afternoon, and you can accompany me to the auction house."

In order to get the location of the post station smoothly, Qi Lin added: "You guys should think about it again during this period. If you can think of any clues again, remember to let me know in advance."

Speaking of this, Qi Lin glanced at Cheng Xiao's expression of reluctance, but still handed the dagger back, and said directly: "Since I gave it to you, there is no reason to take it back, take it with peace of mind, no matter whether there is information on the post in the auction house or not." , I won’t even blame you.”

Qi Lin's generosity made Alice feel a little astonished.

She didn't expect that the most powerful fire dispatcher among the fire passers-by would be so generous?

For a moment, this made her think of the mythical arias that bards said
Cheng Xiao really didn't know where the post station was, and the three clues he gave were indeed everything he thought of after racking his brains.

He couldn't guarantee whether these three clues could help Qi Lin find the mysterious station.

From Cheng Xiao's point of view, the person who dispatches the fire is just his guess. Although the possibility is very high, it is just a guess.

More importantly, Qi Lin is the savior of his miserable family.

If Qi Lin hadn't met, there would have been two more corpses devoured by wild wolves in this wilderness.

Therefore, although Cheng Xiao was very reluctant to part with the magic dagger, he still pushed it back sincerely.

The grace of saving one's life is enough, Cheng Xiao's conscience can't bear it if he asks for other things.

But Qi Lin's generosity and sensitivity made Cheng Xiao blush for a while.

"My lord, I really can't guarantee that those clues will find the station. The grace of saving my life has not been repaid. You really don't need to give me this magic dagger"

Cheng Xiao gritted his teeth again and declined.

"Okay, I'm going to rest." Qi Lin frowned, stopping the process of excuses.

Seeing Qi Lin turned around and lying on the grass in a state of deep sleep, Cheng Xiao's eyes were grateful and he didn't dare to say any more.

After Cheng Xiao winked at his daughter, he grabbed the dagger and ran silently to the distant woods.

And the daughter, Alice, is sensible and adds fuel to the bonfire lightly, for fear of freezing the benefactor who saved her father.

The moonlight fell on the grassland, illuminating the direction of Cheng Xiao's progress. He moved familiarly and cautiously, approaching the goal step by step.

A group of unenchanted rabbits.

There are not only dangerous monster species in the wild, but also common animals and plants that are harmless to humans and animals.

But being able to find this group of rabbits smoothly, Cheng Xiao also shouted in his heart that he was lucky.

Being able to catch a rabbit without encountering a demon seed made Cheng Xiao feel that his luck today is really favored by the gods.

As everyone knows, in this woods, there were originally demon species, but they were all killed by the undead and cleaned up the traces and took away the corpses and harvest.

And this group of rabbits also ran out under the deliberate intimidation of the underground guards' crypt demons.

Cheng Xiao slowly held his breath, slowed down his movements, and tried not to make any noise, so as not to disturb the rabbit group.

His long mercenary career made his keen ears stand out especially in the silent night, and he could feel every faint sound and movement.

Finally, he approached the rabbit group.

Cheng Xiao slowly pulled out the dagger hidden in his waist, he clenched the dagger tightly, his eyes were sharp and focused, and he quickly and accurately cast a fatal blow.

Under the dexterous dancing of the dagger, the five rabbits had no power to resist, and instantly lost the temperature of their lives.

Cheng Xiao, the remaining rabbit who fled in panic, wanted to catch it as food for the future.

After all, not every moment has such good luck to obtain survival supplies.

But Cheng Xiao just glanced at the fleeing rabbits reluctantly, turned around and left with the five rabbits he had hit.

Because Qi Lin didn't know when to fall asleep, he had to hurry up and complete the thank you gift within his ability before falling asleep.

It was the only thing he could do for the great man.

Fearing that the smell of blood would disturb Qi Lin, Cheng Xiao violated for the first time in his career as a mercenary not to go to dark places, and ran very far away from Qi Lin, not daring to be slighted, and immediately started peeling.

He accurately found the rabbit's weakness, and cut open the rabbit's fur, revealing the tender and bloody flesh.

Cheng Xiao took out the internal organs of the rabbit and carefully kept the fur intact.

If these furs were made into fluffy pockets, they would be containers for pet snacks that some noble ladies in the town liked, which would allow Cheng Xiao's family to earn a little income.

Then he looked for firewood and tender grass to form a simple barbecue table, lit it with fire, and controlled the fire just right.

During this period, Cheng Xiao also extravagantly took out his own salt bag, sprinkled precious salt grains in full amount for the first time, and also washed his wrinkled hands with the precious drinking water in the water bag.

Cheng Xiao cut the rabbit meat into chunks and strung them on homemade barbecue sticks and hung them above the bonfire.

Tongues of fire devoured the rabbit meat, sending out bursts of aroma and smog.

Cheng Xiao kept turning the barbecue stick to let the rabbit meat be heated evenly to ensure that it was cooked and juicy.

The firelight reflected in Cheng Xiao's eyes, it was a kind of satisfaction and pride.

There is no way to repay a life-saving grace, this is all Cheng Xiao can do at present.

On top of Cheng Xiao's head, a ghost descended into Qi Lin's consciousness is staring at Cheng Xiao intently under Qi Lin's control.

When they met for the first time, if it wasn't for the sincerity in the words between the father and daughter, then Qi Lin might not be allowed to directly interrogate the nightmare world for information and then give medicine compensation afterwards.

But even so, Qi Lin, who suffers from persecution paranoia, still doesn't easily believe the superficial traces.

Don't look at what a person says, but look at what a person does.

This is what a senior executive said when Qi Lin was wandering in his previous life.

Qi Lin thinks it makes sense.

Qi Lin, who had been observing Cheng Xiao, stared at Cheng Xiao's technique, feeling a little admiration in his heart.

What he saw in his eyes was not just a cooking process, nor was it a low-level mercenary repaying someone.

Rather, it is a demonstration of the ingenious application of wilderness survival skills by living off the wilderness.

Finally, the aroma of hares spread over the surface.

Cheng Xiao, with a smile on his eyes, grabbed the roasted rabbit meat, and hurriedly ran back to Qi Lin's place in the distance.

"grown ups."

Cheng Xiao came to the bonfire, and wanted to get closer to Qi Lin, but suddenly stopped, Cheng Xiao, who was afraid of being misunderstood, stopped ten steps away from Qi Lin, and slightly shouted: "My lord, are you asleep?"

Qi Lin turned over and looked at Cheng Xiao, who was watching him warmly and sincerely. There were still black marks on the face of the other party, but the hands holding the skewers were extremely clean.

"My lord, you saved me and my daughter. We can't repay you. I hope this hare can represent our gratitude."

Cheng Xiao's words were simple but sincere.

Qi Lin smiled suddenly. Under the circumstances, he could slaughter a city without blinking an eye.

But in his heart, he is still a teenager, and he actually enjoys this kind of sincerity.

But unfortunately, in this world, there are very few opportunities for such enjoyment.

Qi Lin wanted to refuse, but Qi Lin is not used to eating food from strangers, even though the ghost witnessed Cheng Xiao's small actions such as not poisoning.

"No"

As soon as Qi Lin spoke, he thought that this body was just a realistic body created by ten talisman clones, so it was nothing.

The number of clones that can be created varies according to the instilled spiritual power of the talisman.

But when there are too many clones, the clones including the main body will be surrounded by mist, so as to obscure the enemy's judgment.

But when the avatar is fused, the mist cover effect will disappear, and it will become a controllable talisman avatar like the main body with five senses.

The real body of this talisman is enough to distinguish it from the real one, but the only regret is that it cannot be attacked by any kind, nor can it wear defensive props.

Once attacked, the real body of the talisman will instantly disintegrate into water vapor and dissipate.

And when all clones are shattered, the talisman will also be shattered.

But as long as the avatar is not eliminated immediately, Qi Lin can instill spiritual power into the talisman to maintain consumption and create new avatars and talisman real bodies.

Qi Lin deeply likes this legendary reward given by the will of the world.

At this moment, Qi Lin's body is doing push-ups not far away, and the real body of the talisman is following the father and daughter.

"Just one skewer." Qi Lin smiled and took a skewer of meat.

The meat skewers are piping hot, each bite is tender and juicy, and the meat is delicious.

Maybe this is real food
Qi Lin thought of what he had eaten these days, and a trace of emotion rose in his heart that was quickly suppressed.

The eyes that were originally smiling gradually turned into the usual joyless and sorrowless eyes.

"Thank you for the meat skewers, we're clear."

Qi Rin nodded to Cheng Xiao, who was a little astonished, and then resumed his previous sleeping position again: "Sleep, good dream."
