Chapter 366: The Raven Has a Dream
After a week on the freighter, Cesar and Uncle Spring Roll of the 'Strange Doctor Alliance', Robert, a goblin who goes to the rainforest for a market visit, and 'Blackwater', a crow who does not hesitate to risk his life to report gossip, become ordinary friends.
Of the three, Uncle Harumaki and Cesar share a common language, and his temper is not bad, so he easily becomes friends with Cesar.
As for the goblin Robert, a talent who can be recognized by major consortia naturally has a good beginning. Although he has a mocking face, it makes people feel like patting him with a brick when they meet, but after getting acquainted with it, it will be like eating stinky tofu, and I find that this guy is a good person and worth befriending.
As for the crow at the end, as a journalist, a lot of nonsense is a necessary advantage. The wrath freighter has been traveling for nearly a month, and I don't know how many people have been driven crazy by this chatter, and only Robert the goblin can barely withstand its noise pollution. Now that a new listener has arrived, it is only natural that it will have to get close to Cesar.
In addition to the above three, Camilla and Nini, who was 'petite' than her, became good friends, and the two stayed by Cesar's side all day, chasing the ball of yarn excitedly, planing the floor with their paws, or attacking each other with cat teasing sticks......
As for the others, the two investigators of the Church of Damnation were inhabited and rarely appeared, and Cesar had no chance to greet them. Blackwater's bodyguard, Gaigu, is a pervert that Cesar avoids. Nini's uncle, John, was a little grumpy, short as a man, but not a good drinker, and after discovering that there was a free bar on the ship, the guy never woke up, and even his niece was relieved to entrust Cesar to the stranger. And the leader of the warmth team, Inspector Gordon, has been studying books and materials on the rainforest in his bedroom, and Cesar is not easy to disturb in the future. At last. It seems that there is something else that seems to have been forgotten? Forget it, leave it alone......
......
"Almost there, aren't you?" the freighter traveled along the coastline, and Cesar's eyesight was good, and he could vaguely see that the land in the distance was no longer flat, but slowly undulating, and the tall trees were gradually increasing.
"Hmm. We're almost at the border between the grassland and the rainforest!," said a crow perched on Cesar's shoulder, in a hoarse voice.
At Cesar's feet, two kittens were squatting together in a sneaky manner, whispering to him, and beside him, Rita stood respectfully with her eyes down, serving her master. Behind him, the tight-clad muscular guy Gaigu, holding a small mirror as if no one was around. Constantly changing all kinds of shame postures, with a self-absorbed look of appreciation.
"Is the crow your form change? Cesar wondered.
"No, I'm a crow myself, and I can't take human form. Blackwater shook his head.
"In other words, you're a bird entirely?!"
"You can say that. Blackwater nodded.
"Joke, you said you're a journalist, how does a crow write, how do you take pictures?" asked Cesar, raising an eyebrow.
"Don't you think a crow is more indifferent than a man?" Blackwater tilted his head and pecked at the feathers on his wings. Then he explained: "I am a pure crow, except for a few areas where there are no birds. An ordinary crow does not attract the attention of others at all. So, I'm the perfect journalist to sneak into all kinds of environments without being noticed, and record what happens in front of me. As for writing, my wings can hold my feathers, and you speak of cameras...... As an outstanding journalist. I gouged out my left eye a long time ago and implanted a pocket magic camera. ”
As he spoke, Blackwater raised his head and showed his left eye to Cesar. Sure enough, it doesn't look like the eyes of a creature, and there are a lot of intricate small structures inside, and it seems that there are miniature runes carved inside. But it doesn't emit magic fluctuations, and it has a strong concealment effect.
"You're really dedicated, it's just a job, is it worth it?" Cesar shook his head incomprehensibly, feeling that the crow was paranoid.
"You don't understand, secretly filming is my belief, gossip is my soul! I want to become the most influential journalist in the world! This hot island plague will definitely make me the focus of attention and surpass that sworn enemy!"
"Rivals, your rivals?" asked Cesar.
"That's right, a hypocritical and despicable human being. With his rhetoric, he persuaded the strongest maid of the previous session, Intix, to follow the pair of master servants to the depths of Nanzhou to follow up and report. Heishui said unconvinced, "That was originally the plan I proposed, but it turned out that a traitor appeared on our team and leaked the plan to that opponent. ”
"Coffee maid?!"
Cesar has always been very interested in 'the strongest maid in the world', and as soon as he heard the news of the strongest maid in the previous session, the soul of gossip was aflamed. Now she has a maid herself, and Rita is better than the previous champion in all aspects. Just her identity as a 'former Valkyrie' was exposed, and she couldn't win the championship.
"It's been almost three years since the last competition ended, and there are still two years to go before the fifth one. And in the past five years, if the strongest maid of this year does not do enough sensational things to win the title to prove herself, she will be removed. During this period, if other maids do earth-shattering things and kill Intix, they can also claim the title of 'the strongest maid of the fourth generation'. Blackwater seemed familiar with the rules.
"It's no wonder that the Void No Thief Niang is attacking the 'Seafood Seven' and accumulating strength. She's going to counterattack. Cesar was stunned.
"Well, you know that, too? I was going to follow the squid girl, but I think about it. There have already been reports of maid battles, and if I get involved again, I'm following suit. But reporting on Intix, it's really fascinating! It's a pity that the plan was leaked. Heishui said regretfully.
"The last champion entered Nanzhou, is he really planning to develop the magic material?" asked Cesar.
"Yes, exactly. Zhongyu recently counterattacked Nanzhou, and the monsters killed were defeated one after another, and many gem mines and gold mines were developed, attracting a large number of adventurers in Zhongzhou. The situation on the Nanzhou side is good, and the association has transferred another armored unit. The strongest maid of the last session has been promoted to the peak of harm, and intends to storm the scourge level and prepare for the upcoming dark food festival. She went to Nanzhou this time for three purposes, the first is to kill monsters, accumulate fame, and build momentum for herself. The second is to fight a lot of battles, constantly breaking through, and entering the disaster level. The third is to try to use monsters as ingredients to create unprecedented deliciousness and win the championship of the Dark Food Festival. The title she chose for herself was 'Dark Maid', and if she didn't win the culinary championship of the Dark Food Festival, she would definitely be removed. ”
"Monsters can be eaten?" Cesar is most familiar with monsters, which are filthy and malicious that even hell rejects, and once it is contaminated in this life, it will be over. His demonic virus was also a weakened version of filth, and he knew very well that this thing couldn't be eaten.
According to Intix, monsters are like puffer fishes, possessing deadly poison, but under the cover of this poison, they are extremely delicious delicacies. She said that if she could remove the evil energy from the demonic object, she would be able to obtain the best ingredients and cook dark dishes that had never been seen before. ”
"Yes. Cesar nodded a little disappreciatively, and then said: "The maid battle is so influential, and Intaxis is also involved in the Dark Food Festival, no matter how you look at it, your report on the 'Plague of Hot Continents' is unlikely to attract the attention of readers, right?"
"You don't understand, this plague in Rezhou is definitely not simple. It's hard to say, this is likely to be a disaster that is not weaker than the Demon Calamity. You calculate, there are evil king's eggs in Middle-earth, there is a sea of blood in Xianzhou, there is a demonic plague in Senzhou, how can there be nothing in Rezhou? If I discover a continent-level disaster in advance and successfully warn of it, what a great feat is this? Isn't it better than a mere 'maid battle'?" said the crow proudly.
"Who said that Rezhou is too peaceful, there is a divine war here!" said Cesar.
"It's been half a month!And this level of divine warfare is too weak, when the Sun Palace is officially formed, control the world vein network of Rezhou, and then have a world-destroying war with the plague that broke out in the south, it will be exciting enough!"
"Speaking of which, among the four continents, Rezhou seems to be really peaceful. "A war is really nothing compared to deep-seated disasters. In particular, this war has been fought in an anticlimactic manner, and both sides are no longer in a complete state. Maybe one of the nine calamities that Xia Ya revealed at the beginning was hidden in Rezhou before it broke out.
In this way, in addition to the hell in the other dimension, there are still four plagues left, and it is very likely that there are two other types hidden in Rock Island and Antarctica. In this way, there are still two who don't know where to hide?
......
In the afternoon of the same day, the ship finally docked.
It was a wharf where a large group of indigenous people from Rezhou were waiting on the shore with the sign of the Church of Damnation's 'Circle Inside the Triangle', driving trucks. When Cesar and his party stepped on the ground, the cranes carried by the freighter began to load the containers onto the trucks little by little.
At this time, the captain, the first officer, and the second officer also walked down and said to Inspector Gordon: "There are too many goods, and it is estimated that it will take two days to move them." Please go to the branch church first, there is a city not far away, only an hour away. ”
"Then we'll go first. Gordon nodded, and walked to a jeep not far away.
Cesar looked left and right, picked a car that suited his taste, and nodded to the maid's sister. Rita opened the door and pulled out the driver and threw him away, then Cesar ran to the passenger seat with a grin, while Camilla beckoned to the kitten to get in the car as well. Then, the car kicked up dust and followed Gordon's car towards the church. (To be continued......)
