Chapter 85: Electricity Spread Throughout the City
Just as Alan was still asking Kramer about Wayne’s operation, a group of people suddenly appeared.
On the road from Rock City to the neighboring city, there was a small group of people, but they were pulling a large number of supplies. They were moving quickly.
“Dorje, how many years has it been since we went on a mission together?”
Wayne, who was riding on a horse, suddenly asked.
“Oh, ten years? or twenty years?”
“Hahaha! I can’t remember. It’s been many years anyway.”
Dorje touched his smooth chin and answered.
“But it’s great that you can recover your strength!”
Wayne looked at his old friend who was rejoicing and felt very grateful.
“Dorje, thank you for your companionship all these years.”
Wayne turned his head to the side and did not look at Dorje. He felt a little embarrassed to say such words.
Dorje was startled when he heard his old friend’s words. After all, he knew very well what kind of character the guy next to him was. He had always been very stubborn.
Dorje smiled as he replied in a low voice, “You’re welcome.”
Behind him were carriages pulling heavy supplies. The two people in front were riding side by side to lead the way. The night was already dark, and there was still a layer of hazy gray fog above their heads.
The transportation team that had set off from Rock City in the middle of the night was rushing to the neighboring city as fast as they could.
Alan sent the guests away again. Abraham did not come tonight, and Lolita still went around the tavern to drink.
Neither the governor nor the officer came. Sofia only came to sit for a short while before she was called away by a young elf. There were people causing troubles in the Elf Tavern again.
Abraham, who was in the blacksmith shop, did not turn on the lights. He sat quietly in the shop in the front yard and took out a diary that he had not written for a long time.
Hailar Calendar: Days have passed since the invasion of the human world
Today, Wayne was assigned by the governor to do a mission. He did not ask me to go with him.
Moreover, he asked me to protect Alan well. Even if he did not say it, I would try my best to protect him.
So he already knew about my identity, about the Abyss.
Then, was the relationship between him and me during this period of time fake?
Did he truly see him as friend?
If everything he did to me was fake, I, the leader of the Seven Lords of the Abyss, the Evil Lord Abraham, would definitely not let him off!
“Pa –”
With a muffled sound, the diary was closed.
“Hmph!”
This time, after writing the diary, he did not check at all. He closed the diary directly and snorted coldly with a serious and conflicted expression.
He looked both mad and unwilling.
In his heart, he could not help but think about the meaning of Wayne revealing that he knew where he came from.
He recalled the scenes that happened after he came to the human world, those humans who had developed deep feelings for him.
The forthright Wayne, the kind-hearted Alan, the shrewd Dorje, the stingy Knapp, the simple-minded Mauricio, and the dull Amorim.
Some of them were very strong, and some were very weak, weaker than the most ordinary pigs. But it was this group of extremely weak humans that gave him a lot of emotions that he had never experienced in thousands of years.
Abraham sat in the blacksmith shop in a daze, looking at the weapons in the blacksmith shop that had almost been emptied because of this mission. His heart also became empty.
Only then did Abraham finally understand. “So, this place will only be a blacksmith shop when Wayne is around. Otherwise, this is just an empty shop. Sigh.”
No matter what, he still hadn’t paid off the money he owed for the wine. He hadn’t finished learning the forging technique he needed to learn, and his mission in the human world was still ongoing.
That same night, in the backyard of the blacksmith shop, a small bird like an eagle spun in the air and landed lightly on Yupanki’s shoulder, rubbing his cheek intimately.
After interacting with it for a while and feeding it some small magic crystals, Yupanki handed a sealed letter to the small bird.
“Go, Grimm. Bring the news to His Highness. Be careful on your way.”
The eagle named Grimm tapped the envelope with its beak. A small fluctuation appeared in the air and the letter in front of it suddenly disappeared.
Spatial magic. This was a rare spatial magic beast.
Yupanki watched Grimm flew away. He did not know how thick the layer of gray fog in the sky was.
He did not know whether it was an illusion or not, but Yupanki kept feeling that the layer of gray fog was getting closer and closer to the town.
Ai Xiaohei saw everything that Yupanki had done. She was excited. Tomorrow, she must tell Alan about this hypocritical demon’s true appearance. This guy definitely had a secret!
Since Lolita came to the human world, she had eaten well and slept well. Recently, she had become more and more mellow. If she returned to the Abyss, even the Demon King would be shocked.
That night, Alan did not sleep well. He kept thinking about Wayne’s mission.
Sofia seemed to very busy at the tavern recently. The entire rock city had become more and more irritable. Even a trivial matter could make people instantly fly into a rage.
Governor also stayed up all night thinking about Wayne’s actions. After all, this could very well turn into a war at any time.
In the Elven Forest.
“Do you think there was a mistake in the sensing of the abyssal waves? It’s been so long, and there’s no movement at all.”
Orina lay on the table and complained to the Great Elder with a dejected face.
“There’s nothing wrong. The current situation is very likely that the Abyss is brewing some great conspiracy. Orina, you must not let your guard down.”
The Great Elder said sternly. When she discovered Orina’s intentions, she was unwilling to let her look for Alan again.
After all, the elf clan’s purest bloodline could not be polluted by outsiders!
She could not bear the thought of the leader of the elves possibly going to human society to get married and have children.
Even though the elves and humans were still getting along well, she could not easily forget the days when the elves confronted the humans.
Orina looked at the Great Elder. Great Elder fell into a deep thought. No one knew what she was thinking.
Recently, gray fog had started to appear in the forest of elves. Although this thing didn’t affect the elves much, the sunlight would gradually block by the fog. Without sunlight, the impact on the elves would be fatal.
Orina was also worried, not knowing what to do with the gray fog.
Three days had passed in the minds of the various factions.
The sky of Rock City had completely turned gray during this period of time. Even during the day, one could not feel the warmth of the sun, and the wind had also become bone-chilling.
Today, Rock City seemed to have regained some of its vitality. There would be a celebration at night to celebrate the first results of the popularization of electricity.
Alan and Yupanki were outside the door of the tavern. They were chatting idly as they looked at the residents on the street who had dressed themselves up.
Inside the tavern, Grandpa Babor, the dwarves, and Shaman who had come to join in the fun were drinking without restraint. Today was their day off.
Bart, who had been locked up for a long time, was finally released temporarily. He was not in the mood to talk to his friends and was desperately enjoying the short day off.
“I wonder if Wayne and the others will be able to make it in time for the celebration.” Alan muttered softly.
“According to the usual speed, they will be able to make it back today. If they can’t make it back, then something must have happened while they were gathering information.”
Yupanki analyzed rationally from the side. He knew that Alan did not want an answer. He just wanted someone to confirm his thoughts.
