Chapter 6 Settlement
Walking out of the glazed hall, two huge statues of warriors appeared in front of Qin Lun and Didi.
The two statues stood face to face, twenty meters apart and more than fifty meters high. They were backed by thick and heavy city walls, wearing armor, holding knight's swords and square shields. The two knight's swords fought together in the center of their heads, forming a majestic city gate.
Through the city gate, a spacious avenue inlaid with green stones spread towards the city center. Qin Lun walked into the city gate along the bluestone Avenue, and the noise in the city also rang in his ears.
Turning his head to look at the situation near the city gate, a knowing smile appeared on Qin Lun's mouth, and even the little brother Brin Didi showed a sudden look on his face.
The new apostles who had gathered together and entered the Demon's Horn early did not go far away. They were surrounded by a group of apostles in a corner not far from the city gate.
Although these apostles all had smiles on their faces, they obviously had bad intentions. Perhaps they were to bring new people into the group, perhaps they wanted to squeeze out benefits from these new people, or perhaps like the old demon Beruses, they wanted the new apostles to sell themselves to support a certain management race.
Even if they did not use force, it would be difficult for a weak newcomer to get rid of the siege. Anyway, if you don’t pay some price, you will probably be entangled for a long time. These people are very eye-catching. Maybe there are their eyeliners in the Glazed Hall, so you can tell the new apostles who are crowded into the Demon’s Horn at a glance.
Although provocation is equivalent to fighting in the Demon's Horn, the senior apostles have no psychological burden to oppress the newcomers. Thinking about this, they came here too.
Of course, not everyone was surrounded by the new apostles. I guess some people, like Qin Lun, should have had a premonition of this situation and avoided entanglement in advance.
In fact, there are city guards responsible for standing guard near the city gate. They just watched all this but did not come over. No one shouted for help from the new apostle. They were a little less careful than Qin Lun, but this did not mean that they were fools.
How could a person who can become a formal apostle be a fool? He would immediately call for help, and the apostles surrounding everyone would immediately let them go. After all, absorbing new apostles is the foundation for the apostles to stand forever. Since the Demon Horn promises to protect the new apostles, he will never use his reputation to go back on his word.
But no new apostle would be willing to give up his dignity for such a little bit of difficulty. Even this embarrassment would require the city guards to ask for help. What other apostles they would do or perform tasks in another world? Just wipe their necks to avoid being looked down upon by living.
No one paid attention to Qin Lun, who was wearing a demon mask and leading the little Goblin to appear at the city gate. His image did not look like a new apostle, so naturally no one came to entangle him.
"Master, have you expected this situation long ago?" Didi asked in a low voice.
Qin Lun smiled and shook his head without saying a word. He was not a god, so he could not have expected this specific situation. The murderer only found that before leaving, he found that no one in the demon clan followed the new apostle, so he remembered what he had happened when he first entered Handan Prison.
At that time, four extremely vicious prisoners died on the spot in the bath room of Handan Prison. Qin Lun or Joey Foster had not used the sleeping shop in the cell, so he lay down on the prison's intensive care unit and returned to the cell three months later.
"Dear Apostle, do you want to use a car?" A loud voice sounded behind Qin Lun and the others.
Qin Lun turned around and saw a middle-aged "dwarf" appearing behind him. The dwarf had wide shoulders and thick body, like a square, with a beard on his chin and a big nose, as if God had just put a ball of mud in the center of his face. From the perspective of human aesthetic concepts, he was ugly.
"Dear Your Excellency, I will send you to any corner of this city if only 3 broken crystals!" The middle-aged short man said carefully with a respectful smile on his face.
Although the Apostle City has formulated various strict regulations to protect the intelligent race that serves the Apostles, in fact, the service providers are still in an extremely disadvantaged position. Working in the Demon's Horn is an extremely rewarding and risky adventure.
Looking at this middle-aged dwarf, Qin Lun's heart moved and remembered another management race in the Demon's Horn - the Dwarf.
"There are too many 3 broken crystals. The place we live is very close to the city center. One broken crystal is enough!" Before Qin Lun could speak, little Goblin jumped out from behind and began to perform his duties as a follower.
Qin Lun turned his gaze away from the two who were arguing and observed the buildings on both sides of the Bluestone Avenue. Most of the buildings in the Demon's Corner are relatively low, and there are few buildings with more than five floors, basically about two to three floors.
Perhaps because of the vast land and sparsely populated areas, these buildings cover a wide area. The alleys connecting Bluestone Avenue are basically seven or eight meters wide. There are neat sidewalks and underground canals covered with stone slabs in front of the building.
Most of the buildings on both sides of Bluestone Avenue are commercial purposes. Many of the buildings close to the city gate are reception desks and carriages. It seems that some are recruiting new people from the apostle team. Perhaps there are many recruiters who surround the new apostle.
A farther from the city gate, Qin Lun vaguely saw taverns, hotels, potion shops and equipment shops of various names. Through the flashes in the glass windows of the shops, he found that the technology used in the shops was extremely advanced, and there were actually 3D three-dimensional projections for introduction and explanation.
What surprised Qin Lun was that in addition to doors and windows, the exterior walls of these buildings were not made of wood and stone, but metal. Although these exterior walls were coated with dye and lime to prevent the reflected light from being dazzling, the exposed walls were obviously metallic.
The architectural style of the whole city has the flavor of an ancient stone city in the medieval period, except that the stone buildings have become metal buildings, and the ancient furniture is full of ultra-modern science fiction technology.
Ancient architectural style combined with advanced technology interior decoration! Qin Lun tapped his temple with his fingers, and a hint of weirdness rose on his face.
At this time, the bargaining between the middle-aged dwarf named Ram and Didi was coming to an end. The two finally hired Ram's carriage for 2 points of broken crystals.
When Ram pulled the carriage from nearby, Qin Lun was surprised to find that it was really an antique medieval carriage, but the one who pulled the carriage was actually two mechanical horses powered by magic crystals.
Qin Lun sat in the convertible carriage speechlessly and closed his eyes to rest. Didi and Ram seemed to have had a relationship and were chatting along the way. However, Qin Lun knew that little Goblin was getting information.
Didi is very smart and has a mature mind. The explanation Qin Lun gave to it not long ago immediately made the little Goblin realize that his master could not expose the ignorance of the new apostle in front of others. Therefore, it could only be used to cliché with Chefram and obtain some common sense about the Demon's Horn.
Ram was very talkative. Along the way, he not only introduced various shops on both sides of the road to Didi, but also introduced some important areas in the city.
If Beruses and the Demon Girl’s previous introduction to Demon Horn was a skeleton, then the fragmented information in Ram’s words added a lot of flesh and blood to this skeleton, giving Qin Lun a vague general impression of Demon Horn.
From Ram's words, he also learned about the consumption level of the Demon's Horn. In this apostle city, ordinary apostles, including residence and diet, consume about 20 broken crystals a day, and 600 broken crystals a month.
For an apostle like Qin Lun who performs a mission in another world every half month and earns a basic mission of 2,000 broken crystals, this is not a high consumption. However, for those apostles who only perform a mission in another world every half a year, it is a bit unbearable.
If you want to live normally in Demon Horn, performing a different world mission once every two months is the minimum. In addition, doing more urban employment tasks is also another option. It seems that this should be the qualification standard for Demon Horn to divide residents' apostles.
No wonder some apostles chose to live in the original floating city. In addition to the reason why they prefer the original city, they may not be able to withstand the high consumption of the apostles' city.
These apostles will only follow the regularly open Starry Sky Gate to trade in the apostle city when they accumulate some excess equipment. Although such a transaction will be drawn from the Demon Horn, it is better than being unable to gain a foothold.
Qin Lun is now becoming more and more satisfied with Didi, the little guy is still insignificant in Moonlight Forest. After reaching the Demon Horn, the little Goblin finally showed his value. Qin Lun does not want trivial matters in life to involve energy. It is not easy to find a clever and tight-mouthed follower at the moment.
The city area of Demon Horn is not very big. Half an hour later, the carriage came to the door of the residence provided by the Demon Clan to Qin Lun. Didi used Qin Lun's ID card to pay off the car fee, and exchanged a signal with Ram, and then followed the owner into the residence.
This is a modern double-storey villa. A row of other villas can be seen at the main street. The location and lighting are good.
The villa has a complete furniture and a large area. In addition to the lack of spare clothes and food, there are all other things, as well as a complete set of tableware and refrigerators. Didi also has his own large room, which looks very satisfied.
When it was evening, an alarm ring suddenly sounded in front of the villa door.
Didi went out and opened the door and found that there were two elves who had made an appointment to visit, Mafa Molia and Adeline Molia.
"Welcome, Lord Mafa!" Qin Lun smiled and greeted him from the living room, "Long time no see!"
"Haha, Your Excellency Qin Lun, for the apostle who went out to perform missions in another world, maybe a long time has passed. But in our opinion, you and I haven't seen each other for only two days!" Mafa shook his head with a wry smile.
Qin Lun was stunned and immediately woke up. He had been in the orphan world for a whole month, but he had not seen him in the Broken Starry Sky for only two days.
"Haha, you will slowly adapt to this change!" Mafa smiled, "I am here to deliver something to you. We have completed your request for Adeline!"
