Chapter 534: The Inn
It is said that there was once a leader of a top force whose power was not inferior to that of established forces such as the Blood Moon Society and the Mithril Alliance. The immortal flame from the abyss burned on his body for three days and three nights, until the last trace of his soul was burned out, and the miserable wail ceased.
The other leaders who attended the meeting sat there and did not dare to move, but listened to the miserable wails for three days and three nights. Seeing that opponent, who was still in high spirits not long ago, gradually dying in endless painful torment, no one even dared to blink an eye. Since then, everyone has known that the Ash Warlock, who is forever wrapped in black robes, needs nothing to discuss and negotiate, his words are the will of the gods, and there is no room for questioning.
Knowing a little about the Ash Warlock Roland, Lin Li was somewhat relieved about this invitation. Although the strength of this ash warlock is very terrifying, he is above all the forces in the Light Wind Plains, at least there is no need to worry about him teaming up with other forces to pit the Tower of Dusk.
Although there were still five days left before the time on the invitation letter, Lin Li considered that he had nothing to do in the Tower of Dusk, so he might as well go to the small town of Nagran in advance to see and see. On this trip, Lin Li didn't plan to bring too many people, the two undead servants accompanied him left and right, and the others stayed behind to guard the Tower of Dusk.
In fact, at this time, there is basically no need to worry about the safety of the Tower of Twilight, with the appearance of the pseudo-holy knights, and the brutal killing, those forces think that the Temple of Light is fully supporting the Tower of Twilight, and who else dares to jump out to find death.
Moreover, now that the eternal furnace at the top of the Tower of Twilight has fused the natural realm of ice and fire, it can allow one's own magicians to exert a legendary-level combat power in it, I am afraid that even if the powerhouse of the Holy Domain attacks, it will not be easy to take down the Tower of Twilight. There is also Conneris, who has twenty-four strength, and Angelano, who controls the Titan-level alchemy colossus, although these two have no loyalty to speak of, they will not sit idly by and watch the Tower of Dusk be attacked by other forces.
Speaking of those Divine Death Knights, Lin Li found that after this killing, the Death Knights also got a lot of benefits, after all, among those souls devoured, there were still three souls of legendary powerhouses, which actually made the two Death Knights have signs of breakthrough. It's no wonder that Rodhart, the Knight of Damnation, would slaughter in the Light Wind Plains, and this temptation to quickly increase his strength is really not something that anyone can resist.
After arranging the affairs of the Tower of Dusk, Lin Li took the two undead servants of Ouyi Farusi and Nophil and set off for the small town of Gran, located in the northern part of the Light Wind Plain.
When flipping through the map, the location of the small town of Gran reminded Lin Li of another thing. In the Great Rift of the Altar of Eternal Darkness, he had listened to the Dark Priest Rog about the battle between the Immortal King and the Dragon of Destruction. When Rog witnessed the Divine War, he was still an ordinary human sentry, and the outpost he was stationed at was located on the far north border of the Light Wind Plain, and the place where the Divine War took place was over Lockdanmo on the other side of the border. Judging from the map, these two places are not very far from the small town of Gran, and if everything goes well to the Ash Warlock's appointment this time, Lin Li would be interested in stopping by to check it out.
Although the town of Gran is far away from the Tower of Dusk, Lin Li and the two undead servants are both legendary powerhouses, and there is nothing to delay along the way, and the legendary town of Gran has been found according to the map at noon. Since he didn't know if the Ash Warlock had any taboos, Lin Li didn't fly directly into the town, but found a place outside the town where no one was around, and walked slowly along the avenue towards the town.
On both sides of the road are large fields of farmland, and the crops in the fields are like waves on the surface of the water in the light breeze. Dense forests in the distance, rolling hills beyond, not very tall, but with a unique flavor against the blue sky and white clouds.
At the end of the road is the small town of Gran, which has not been warred for thousands of years due to the presence of the Ash Warlocks, but it is still small in size, and it looks like a few hundred families. The tallest building in the town is a tall tower made of gray stone, presumably the Tower of Ashes where the Ash Warlock Roland lives.
Lin Li walked slowly into the town with two undead servants, although the residents of the town had never seen them, they all showed kind smiles when they met, and occasionally a few children ran past them playfully, without that kind of wariness of outsiders.
Since you're invited by the Ash Warlock, even if you come early, you should always go to the Tower of Ashes to say hello. After Lin Li entered the town, he did not stop to enjoy the atmosphere of rural life, but went straight to the gray tower in the depths of the town.
It is said to be a tall tower, but in fact it is only more than ten meters high, because it covers an area that is not small, but it seems wide and flat. When Lin Li approached the tower, he saw two old men dressed as servants on the steps in front of the tower's gate, lazily lying on the steps basking in the sun.
Legend has it that since the Dark Ages, the Ash Warlock has been accompanied by two or three old servants, and these old servants are like ordinary people who do not know any magic and martial arts, but they have lived in this town with the Ash Warlock for thousands of years. At this time, the two old servants basking in the sun on the steps, Lin Li was indeed from their bodies, and they didn't feel a trace of magic and fighting spirit, and they looked no different from ordinary old people, no matter how you looked at them, you couldn't tell that they were old monsters who had lived for thousands of years.
In fact, Lin Li has always been very strange, whether it is the Ash Warlock or the old servants beside him, since they are all old monsters who have lived for thousands of years, if they live in seclusion in the mountains, why do generations of residents of Gran Town still regard them as ordinary people when they get along with them day and night.
Of course, this kind of thing seemed a bit strange to Lin Li, but after all, the Ash Warlock was a strong man close to the gods, maybe there was some special means. Lin Li shook his head, no longer thinking about the problem, and stepped forward to salute the two old servants, explaining that he had been invited by the Ash Warlock.
Although the two old servants looked like ordinary people, and they were both so old that they only had one breath left, Lin Li did not despise them in the slightest. Even if they didn't rush at their master, the Ash Warlock, just because of the age of these two old servants, Lin Li thought that they were worthy of his respect.
Hearing Lin Li's words, an old servant touched his belly that was red from the sun outside, his eyes didn't bother to open, and he muttered indistinctly: "It's not time yet, go find a place to live by yourself, we don't care about food and accommodation here." ”
"......" Lin Li was speechless for a while, so he had to salute helplessly and return to the front of the town with the two undead servants.
Although this small town is not on the main traffic artery, Lin Li was surprised to find that there is still a small hotel in the town. But think about it, although there are usually no people in Gran Town, but once every three years, they are the leaders of various top forces, and they usually spend money without silver coins, and this small inn is really not open for three years, and it is open for three years.
Walking into the small inn, Lin Li looked left and right, although the small inn was a little shabby, but it was clean. At the counter in front of him, a middle-aged fat man was lying on the counter snoring, presumably dreaming that he was going to get rich again this time, and his saliva was dripping.
Lin Li walked to the counter and pressed the bell several times in a row, before the middle-aged fat man sat up sleepily, and stayed for a long time before he realized that there was a guest coming to the door.
"Guest...... Guest, are you staying at the hotel? The middle-aged fat man wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and found a puddle of water stains on the counter, and while greeting awkwardly, he directly wiped the puddle of saliva with his sleeve.
"Yes, help me prepare three rooms," Lin Li casually took out a handful of gold coins and put them on the counter.
"Okay, okay, please come with me, I will prepare the best room for you." Seeing the shiny gold coins, the middle-aged fat man suddenly came to his senses, didn't count them, pulled the gold coins into the drawer in the counter, and then stood up and walked out of the counter.
For the so-called best room in this kind of place, basically there is no need to have too much expectation, fortunately, Lin Li is not a person who talks about pomp and enjoyment, as long as the room is clean and bright and does not leak. In fact, if it weren't for such a small hotel, it wouldn't have mattered if he had set up a tent outside the town. Speaking of which, the tent he stored in the Ring of Immersturf was much more luxurious than the rooms in this small inn.
After arriving at the room, he sent the fat boss away, Lin Li recalled what the old servant had just said in the Tower of Ashes, and estimated that until the date on the invitation letter, the Ash Warlock Roland should not show up. In fact, if you think about it, the Ash Warlock said that he invited everyone here, but in fact it was more of an order, and it was not to ask everyone to come here to discuss anything, but to judge the disputes of everyone, where is there any need to entertain these people.
However, now that the date of the invitation is only four days away, even if I go to the ruins of the outpost on the northern border, I am afraid that I will not have enough time to take a closer look. Lin Li thought about it for a while, and decided to stay here and wait for the party to start, anyway, the four days passed in a flash.
The town of Grand is actually a very ordinary country town, if it weren't for the Ash Warlock living here, such a town would be a big deal in the Breezy Plains. After Lin Li asked for a room in the small inn, he didn't bother to go out and wander around, so he meditated alone in the room.
