Chapter 168 Obsidian Chapter
"what a pity."
"I'm almost there."
"Those two little kids look so lively! Hehehe!"
Looking at the bald swordsman with his back to him, the man in black robes let out a regretful sigh.
"Didn't we say not to make a fuss?"
Looking at the black-robed man inside the room, the bald swordsman pulled up the tent and asked in a deep voice.
"I didn't make a fuss. If you hadn't come to stop me, I would have already succeeded."
Faced with the bald swordsman's questioning, the man in black robes seemed unconcerned, and judging from his tone, he even seemed somewhat displeased.
"What about the other one? I don't believe you didn't see that he's quite strong."
"I can fight two of you, don't you believe in my strength?"
"But what if we fail to take it down quickly and attract the attention of others?"
As the bald swordsman stepped forward, he pressed closer and questioned the man in black, who merely chuckled as he watched the bald swordsman approach.
He placed his hand on the mask, and with a writhing sound, the mask instantly dissolved into a pool of blood, revealing his terrifying and hideous face. At the same moment, he gave a maniacal laugh and said in a trembling voice:
"Then kill them all."
"you!"
"Just kidding, you know how fights are here. Murder and robbery aren't big deal, nobody cares!"
The old man in black robes waved his hand, revealing a bored expression. The bald swordsman looked much younger than him, yet he was so uninteresting.
"I remember before we came, that person said not to cause trouble, right?..."
"You made just as much noise as I did; that kick just now attracted the attention of quite a few mice."
Faced with the bald swordsman's accusations, the old man in black robes continued to retort, but the bald swordsman remained calm. He slowly picked up his sword and then hooked it under the divination table in the room.
"Oh?"
"What about this?"
With a flick of the blade, a drained corpse appeared before the two. Upon seeing this, the black-robed old man blinked, ultimately revealing only a somewhat frightening smile, and said:
"He's unlucky."
“I never intended to kill him, but he just dragged me along.”
"Didn't he himself say that a person is born with a destiny, and perhaps his destiny is to die by my hand today?"
Hehehe!
Looking at the somewhat deranged old man in front of him, the bald swordsman couldn't help but rub his forehead in frustration. He really had no way to deal with someone who was a little mentally unstable.
"I don't care about what happened before, but now that the mission is about to begin, I hope you won't cause any more trouble."
Facing the bald swordsman's reprimand, the deranged old man seemed not to have heard a word, only grinning sinisterly.
"Don't worry, don't worry."
"There shouldn't be any major problems."
Heh heh........
.......................
The Obsidian Festival is a special festival that only takes place in three small towns near Blackrock Cliff.
Obsidian Festival is a festival to celebrate the birth of Obsidian Day. Every year on Obsidian Day, strong winds blow in the area around Blackrock Cliff, and during this period, the viruses in the bodies of those suffering from latent calamities will fully erupt.
Why do people still celebrate a holiday for the dead?
That's because while Obsidian brings death, it also brings new life. During the week that Obsidian lasts, various rich and rare minerals grow near Blackrock Cliff, and among these rich minerals is something called obsidian.
It is said that grinding this into powder and swallowing it will greatly increase the chances of curing one's major calamity, or at least delay the onset of the calamity if it does not cure it.
This is undoubtedly a lifeline for those who are about to die. Therefore, every year during the Obsidian Festival, large numbers of people suffering from the Great Calamity gather in the town of Dork, with the aim of venturing deep into the Black Rock Cliff and fighting for a chance to survive.
Going to Blackrock Cliff and drinking obsidian might kill you, but not going will definitely kill you.
Of course, besides those who are just trying to survive, there are also some people who are lured by profit, because during the Obsidian event, many rare things will appear at Blackrock Cliff. As long as you can return with a full load once, you will basically have no worries about food and drink for the rest of your life.
Therefore, every year on Obsidian Day, talented people from all over the country gather in Dorke Town, which indirectly promotes the development of Dorke Town.
“There are so many people~”
A deep voice rang out from the crowd. As the most conspicuous figure in the crowd, the heavily armored knight Knight arrived at a place called the port with his little black-robed figure.
Of course, there is no sea near Dork town; it's just a car rental service.
"Wow, Dopp, look! This is so amazing!"
Since it's called a port, the rented vehicles are definitely not horse-drawn carriages. Specially designed boats are parked at the port, and in front of the boats is a huge beast. Upon closer inspection, it turns out to be a large dog with stone-gray fur.
Neither the heavily armored knight Knight nor the black-robed little man Dop had ever ridden in such a mode of transportation before, and they both found it quite novel.
However, the two did not stay there for long, because the port was crowded with people. If they could not rent a boat quickly, they would not be able to reach Blackrock Cliff by the end of the Obsidian Festival.
Fortunately, thanks to Knight's size advantage, the two quickly found a boatman and paid for their journey.
Bang!
Looking at his swaying boat, the boatman's face twitched uncontrollably. He regretted letting these two people on board. Wouldn't they break his boat?
Of course, this is just a joke. As a businessman, he would definitely want to fill his ship with people to maximize profits.
"almost."
The boatman stood on the deck, looked at the people in the cabin, counted them, and then prepared to set off.
Just as he was about to disembark and pull down the anchor, a hand suddenly reached out from behind and put its arm around his shoulder.
"boss."
"Can you take me with you?"
A magnetic young voice rang out, and the boss subconsciously turned around to look, only to find a handsome young man.
Judging from the clothes the man was wearing, he didn't seem to be a local. However, it's not unusual to encounter outsiders during the Obsidian Festival.
The boss initially wanted to refuse, as his cabin was already nearly full. If the heavily armored knight hadn't paid so much, he might not have let him on board, given how much space he took up.
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly noticed the heavy money bag in the young man's hand.
"no problem!"
