Chapter 120 A Wonderful Coincidence
Huhuhuhuhu...
The out-of-control Old John gasped like a wild beast, obviously reaching his limit. The wound stabbed by the ice blue sword and the spreading freezing had covered Old John's body with blue frost. Even the air exhaled was filled with cold mist, and the blood seemed to have condensed, and his muscles began to become gradually stiff.
The ugly face of Tesche vowed to purify the fallen man in front of him. Without considering his strange abdomen, he rushed towards Old John again with the ice blue sword. However, this time, Old John's eyes appeared in the eyes of a kind of fear seen in the wild beasts, and the fear that was rushing towards him. He let out a roar, and a hint of fear flashed in his red eyes. Yes, fear.
He ran towards Tesla like a beast with his hands and feet, and was still roaring. Tesla's long sword cut hard on Old John's body. Black blood instantly poured out without caring about the wounds left on his body. Old John's running footsteps did not stop after crossing Tesla, but continued to run in one direction. He planned to escape.
"I'm sorry, stop him." Seeing that the attacked Old John still did not stop his pace, but ran towards an unmanned direction, intending to enter the forest ahead. Tesla had guessed the other party's plan and wanted to escape. Tusche, who was holding the ice blue sword, hurriedly chased after him. The knights standing on the side reacted one after another, intending to stop the Old John who was about to escape.
Old John, who had lost the courage to continue fighting, rushed straight to one of the knights who were planning to stop him. The knight was shocked and quickly covered the sword in his hand with the fighting spirit and chopped it towards Old John in order to delay Old John's escape.
When Old John saw the sword that was chopping towards him, he rushed towards the knight without any retrenchment. The sword slashed on Old John's body, leaving a deep bone-visible wound. The black blood fell from Old John's body to the ground, and the knight was also pierced by the bone spurs on Old John's body, flew backwards, and never got up again.
Watching the bloody battle between the knights and Old John, Feng Lu, who was lying on the side, felt the cruelty of this world. Looking at the various abilities shown from them, "Frozen, Black Fog, Tentacles, what the hell is this?", Feng Lu could only shout in his heart. Seeing the escape of Old John and the pursuit of several knights, Feng Lu, who had slowly recovered part of his body's control, began to move his fingers and toes.
The Cavaliers' delay made Tesla gradually narrow the distance from Old John. When the opponent was about to enter the forest, Tesla's hand added a long sword to swing towards Old John's back. However, a discordant voice came from Tesla's lower body, accompanied by a burst of smell, which slowed his movements a little slowed down.
Old John took the opportunity to widen the distance, and his thick legs jumped into the air with force. The black mist surging in his body formed a pair of illusory wings behind him. Old John, who had become less like a human, turned around and looked at the angry Tesche, as if he was making fun of the other party.
"Damn guy, you will definitely die under the Holy Light." The anger in the heart of Tesche when he saw the escaped old John burning stronger and stronger.
"Sir, do you need to ask for help from the church?" a knight asked respectfully.
"No", Tesla quickly refused. If he asked the church for help because of his own failure, his future status would be lost. Tesla does not want other people to participate in today's affairs, which will cause the church to be dissatisfied with him. The only way now is to purify the powerful fallen man and let the church see its value.
"The evil fallen ones will definitely not escape too far under the sanction of the Holy Light, we will chase after you." Tesla immediately ordered the remaining few knights, and then turned back to ride his own war horse.
Hearing the order, several knights hesitated and looked at each other, not thinking that continuing to pursue was the right thing, but no one dared to question it and followed Tesla closely behind.
Feng Lu, who had recovered his body, was about to sneak away. He looked at himself, and Feng Lu, who was much smaller, and was quite sad. He needed a piece of clothing now, and could do anything. He looked at the only cabinet in the wooden house, and opened the cabinet with some expectations. A smell of inferior laundry detergent was spread, and the smell was a bit pungent.
This is what Feng Lu saw in Krence's memory extracted from the juices from plants and flowers. It is called the liquid of washing clothes, referred to as laundry detergent. Because it can make clothes cleaner and increase the fragrance, it is popular among nobles and civilians. The only thing civilians can get is extracted from common plants called Tianxingcao. It is very cheap but has a pungent smell. The nobles often use laundry detergent extracted from various flowers with only a fragrance. This extracted liquid can be maintained on clothes for a long time, which has become a comparison between noble ladies, such as a noble lady who used laundry detergent made from very rare flowers.
There was only a set of worn gray clothes in the cabinet, and a half-csul coin placed next to it. This was the smallest currency in the St. John's Empire. The other currencies were Csul, Miller and Sochi. 12 Csul equals 1 Miller and 10 Miller equals 1 Sochi.
The clothes were folded very neatly by the owner of the wooden house. Feng Lu reached out and took them and quickly put them on. The huge clothes completely covered his muscleless body. The long sleeves and pants made it a little inconvenient for him to move. The long pants made him unable to see his feet. His walking posture was quite weird. Feng Lu felt that he was a little like a funny clown now, dancing while watching others.
Suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps came from a distance, and the sound of metals colliding with each other, which made Feng Lu immediately erect his ears and quickly lay on the ground to pretend to be dead. Several knights who had just pursued Old John appeared in their sight.
"I'm back so soon, has Old John been killed?" Feng Lu thought to himself, and he clearly remembered what Old John said to him in a low voice. The smell on his body made Feng Lu a little curious and smelled the smell on his body several times. He was disappointed and smelled the fishy smell on his body only, and did not smell the other party described it.
He secretly glanced at the angry expressions on the faces of the knights and the scars on their bodies, making Feng Lu give up the idea that Old John had been killed. The other party seemed to have failed, and he was very cautious and did not make any sound. He was a little worried that the mysterious smell that Old John said was discovered by these knights, but Feng Lu, who had already put on the worn-out clothes, still exposed his state of being able to move freely.
Several knights and Tesche did not care about Feng Lu wearing clothes in the wooden house. They just looked at it and took it back. In their eyes, the boy in the wooden house was an ordinary person, and his body was weaker than that of ordinary people. He was not worthy of their attention. Without any intention of asking Feng Lu, the knights immediately chased him in the direction of Old John's escape.
Feng Lu quietly exhaled and murmured to himself: "They didn't seem to see what Old John said, but it was a good thing for me. I hope they can solve Old John as soon as possible." Old John, who was a little worried that he would come back to find him. Feng Lu looked closely at the knights who had already walked away, intending to leave here quickly. Before leaving, he had not forgotten to take away the half-Csul coins in the cabinet.
Kakka...
"What sound?" Feng Lu, who was about to leave, turned around and heard a subtle sound under the broken bed of Old John. The sound of the floor gradually cracking echoed in Feng Lu's ears, as if something was about to rush out on the ground in the next second, which made Feng Lu stay away very carefully.
As the floor under the bed completely cracked, waves of ripples echoed in the broken room, and black mist appeared on the ground. Feng Lu hurriedly ran to the side, hiding behind the wall on one side to observe the situation in the wooden house, and was a little worried that the black mist would be like what he had seen. The strange mist that surged out from Old John's body could easily corrode humans.
The black fog slowly dissipated, leaving only a very ordinary black bowler floating in the air.
"Hat", Feng Lu, full of doubts, was ready to run away quickly if the black fog began to spread, but the black fog disappeared, leaving a hat behind.
Feng Lu carefully picked up a stone from the side and threw it towards the hat. Then he hid behind the wall again, hitting the floating hat with a "splash". The dust on the stone left a striking mark on the hat. The hat was no different and slowly fell to the ground.
"Just this, I thought it was something special," Feng Lu, who was a little unbelievable, said doubtfully, walked towards the hat that fell on the ground cautiously, stretched out his finger and touched it. When he saw that there was no reaction, he picked it up casually. The pure black color was not decorated with any decoration, just like the gentlemen in this world often wore it, and the weight of the hand felt was no different from that of ordinary hats.
After carefully observing the hat in his hand, Feng Lu did not find anything special. He thought in his heart in confusion. Old John was so secretly hiding under the wooden board, there must be something special. It should be kept. Even if there is no special one, the hat is still worth some money. Then he put the hat in his hand into his clothes and left the wooden house.
The next morning, Feng Lu spent his first night in an abandoned steel pipe last night. After all, he fell asleep in a confused manner the day before yesterday. He did not expect that what happened in the past two days was more exciting and dangerous than what happened in his more than 20 years. This made him feel inexplicably bored. After all, he was just a relatively homeless person.
Because it is summer, hygiene in Column City is definitely a nightmare for many people. Because there are not enough toilets, you can see people everywhere in the Kakora District who are solving their physiological problems on the spot, which makes the Kakora District nicknamed the sewer by the nobles.
