C20 Zodiac Foetus
After bidding farewell to the three peasants who didn't look like peasants, Zhang Ming followed Haff to the tallest house in the town.
The house was also made of raw wood, ten times the normal size. There was only one door, and outside the door stood two men. From their auras, these two men should be dark warriors.
When Zhang Ming and Haff approached the house, the two dark warriors recognized Haff. One of them asked about the situation and led him into the house. As for Zhang Ming, he could only stand outside the door and stare at the other dark warrior.
Soon, another soldier came out. The words inside were not something he could listen to.
After waiting for a while, Haff finally came out followed by a middle-aged man. He looked like a mage. Haff's eyes didn't seem to be affected by Zhang Ming at all, like those of his prey.
Zhang Ming's heart skipped a beat. Haff must have told him about the great treasure in his possession. He thought to himself, 'Should I kill these guys now and escape?'
If the Divine Lost Continent was really as Haff had said, then not only would he be chased by the Church of Light, the Dark Alliance would also not let him go. If he wanted to do it, then he would have to do it cleanly and do it to the end.
"Mr. Zhang Ming, right? This is Reint. Please come in." The middle-aged mage introduced himself with an old-fashioned voice, as if Zhang Ming owed him a lot of money. From the look in the dark warriors' eyes, Zhang Ming could tell that this mage's background was not low.
Zhang Ming nodded. Feeling this person's enmity, he became alert and greeted him. Then, he entered the house. He passed through the empty lobby without a word and entered the back hall.
The moment Zhang Ming stepped inside, he immediately felt the dark aura pouncing on him. If it was an ordinary person, their face would probably be pale and their hands and feet would probably be trembling. But who was Zhang Ming?
As if nothing had happened, he scanned around the hall. The decorations inside were very simple and weren't worth noting. There was a middle-aged man sitting in the center of the room. He was sizing up Zhang Ming with excitement, and Zhang Ming was obviously sizing him up as well.
He was around 40 to 50 years old, so Zhang Ming was not interested in the shape of his body. What he was interested in was, according to the dark aura just now, this person's strength should be around the same as him, the desire to fight rose again, Zhang Ming quickly suppressed it and considered the current situation. If the three of them attacked him, the success rate for turning into a beast should be around 50%, it seemed like he couldn't be too impulsive.
The Mayor and Reint were both a little surprised by this, but they soon recovered and smiled. "Mr. Zhang Ming, please take a seat," the Mayor said first, "I'm Mayor Voseph of Good Town, and this is Reint. I'm sure he has already been called in."
Zhang Ming politely saluted back, and sat opposite Haff. Before he could even sit down, the mage Reint opened his mouth: "Zhang Ming, is Great Devil Tutor Canissen really dead?"
Zhang Ming felt very uncomfortable with Reint's questioning tone. He frowned and replied, "Yes, Senior Canissen has already passed away."
"So he's a magic diary, is he with you?" Reint rushed to ask with an anxious voice. It seemed that he couldn't wait any longer. At the door, Zhang Ming looked at him a few times but hesitated to speak.
Zhang Ming sneered in his heart. This guy really isn't a good loan. He was actually concerned about Canissen's Magic Journal. "Not bad, Senior Canissen handed over his Magic Journal to me before he died."
Reint was overjoyed. "Show me the magic diary."
At the same time, Voseph also asked, "Other than giving you the Magic Journal, does Senior Canissen have anything else?"
Zhang Ming looked at Reint, then looked at Voseph, no wonder his Dark Alliance was suppressed by the Bright Monastery. A Great Devil Tutor died, and these people were not seeking revenge for him, but for his inheritance.
"I'm sorry, Canissen said before he died that he wanted me to help him find his ideal successor. I think with Mr. Reint's age, he shouldn't be his ideal successor."
Reint's face changed drastically and said angrily in a deep voice, "Brat, what qualifications do you have to choose Canissen's successor? Humph, it would be better if I chose to replace you. You just dropped it on your shoulders."
Reint's magic power was already on the verge of acting up. Zhang Ming did not even pay attention as he released his Dragon Essence power to resist Reint's pressure and retaliated, saying, "Grand Instructor Canissen said I can do it, I also think I can do it myself. Does Mr. Reint doubt Canissen's judgement? If that's the case, can you come down and try it?"
Reint and Voseph felt the overbearing pressure on Zhang Ming at the same time and were greatly alarmed. However, Reint could not help but stand up: "You …"
Voseph quickly tried to smooth things over. "Great Instructor Canissen really has a unique eye. Reint, don't try anymore."
Although Reint was impulsive, he also felt that Zhang Ming was powerful and did not want to be used as a gun by Voseph. He glanced at Voseph and snorted before sitting down again.
Zhang Ming could see that the two men did not seem to be in harmony with each other on the surface, which was good for him but not bad. Then Voseph said, "Mr. Zhang Ming, you haven't answered me yet.
Zhang Ming raised his brows. He had already thought of what Voseph wanted, so he intentionally put on a hesitant expression, "No, Canissen just gave me the Magic Journal."
Voseph's face turned ugly, but he forced a smile and said, "So that's how it is. That means Canissen only has the Magic Journal as a relic. Ai, Mr. Zhang Ming, you have to preserve it well and find a suitable successor as soon as possible."
"I'll do my best." Zhang Ming replied.
"Mr. Zhang Ming is probably tired too. Haff, take Mr. Zhang Ming to rest first." Wu Tie said.
Just like this, Zhang Ming unhappily followed Haff out of the largest house in the town. Haff still didn't say anything, and Zhang Ming also lazily chatted. Finally, the two of them arrived at a small wooden house in the corner of the village and Haff said, "Zhang Ming, you should rest here tonight. It's best not to run around."
With that, Haff left in a hurry.
The reason he followed Haff to Gu De Town was to ask him about the situation in this mortal world. Now, he basically knew the situation in Divine Lost Continent, and what he needed to do now were Divine Lost Continent, and even the geographical distribution of the other two continents.
At this moment, Zhang Ming was lying on the hard wooden bed, thinking about how to steal a map from Voseph.
Of course, he didn't know if there was a map of Zhang Ming on Voseph, but he knew that Voseph and Reint would definitely visit him tonight.
The sky slowly darkened, and countless stars peeked out. This was the second night Zhang Ming had seen in more than ten years, and the night was destined to not be peaceful.
Zhang Ming didn't cultivate, he only quietly looked out the window at the night sky. His heart was still, and his heartbeat was still faintly discernible. The Winged Dragon Scale in his hair seemed to be enjoying itself, emitting a faint, imperceptible blue light.
Time passed by unknowingly. Zhang Ming, who was lying on the bed, suddenly felt a slight vibration that was getting bigger and bigger. It was obvious that someone was coming towards him.
Zhang Ming casually flipped through the book and at this moment, the vibration was very close. There was no knock on the door, but a thin whistle of the wind that brought a person to the roof.
A slight cutting sound entered Zhang Ming's ears. Zhang Ming knew that his roof had been ruined.
Zhang Ming naturally knew who it was, but he didn't alert the enemy. He was still looking at the magic diary and felt that the person on the roof was getting excited. It seemed that Canissen's magic diary was really good.
Zhang Ming was waiting for that person to make his move quickly. At this moment, another vibration occurred outside the room. This time, the vibration was big. There was a clear approaching sound of footsteps followed by two or three knocks on the door.
"He's coming …" When Zhang Ming opened the door, it was Voseph. Voseph's face was full of smiles and his eyes were filled with concern. Those who didn't know this would think that Voseph was the mayor of a people who loved work.
"Mayor Voseph, why are you here? Please take a seat." Zhang Ming said with some surprise.
"Hehe, I was just strolling around. I saw that the light in your room was still on, so I came to take a look." Voseph chuckled.
Zhang Ming picked up the magic notebook that was placed on the bed, "I think Haff should have told you before that I'm a dual cultivation of magic and martial arts. Senior Canissen's magic notebook is very helpful to my magic cultivation, so I forgot to sleep when I read it. I'm really sorry."
"No, I admire people who like to study the most." Voseph revealed a troubled expression after saying that.
"Mayor Voseph, you know I came out from deep in the mountains, so I don't understand anything. Especially at this time, the Church of Light kept attacking us, who are in the dark, I don't know where I can go, where I can't go, and I don't know if the mayor has a map or something like that?"
"Map." Voseph frowned, "There is one map in my room, but I can't give it to you. There's only one map in the whole town, if you have time, you can come over and take a look."
He immediately became overjoyed and said, "Mayor Voseph, in fact, when you asked me what Canissen returned to me besides his magic notes at noon, I said that I didn't have any and that I was lying to you. At that time, there were too many people and I couldn't not be worried."
With that, Zhang Ming felt the breathing rhythm of the person on the roof became faster.
"Ah!" Voseph didn't know how to react. He was stunned for a moment before rejoicing and said excitedly, "I understand. You don't need to explain. Did you say that Canissen gave you something important?
"Yes, Senior Canissen gave it back to me … Who is it!"
Halfway through Zhang Ming's words, he suddenly roared loudly and jumped up from the ground, throwing a punch towards the roof!
