Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Chapter 107 Ancient Capital
The dark clouds blocked all the sunlight. It wasn't raining, but the sky was gloomy. Coupled with the gray and dry colors brought by this season, it made people feel that this place was a dead zone without any life.

At this time, the last passenger plane slowly descended from the dark clouds, which meant that the last wave of passengers who dared to come to the ancient capital during the Undead Rebellion had also arrived in this troubled place.

"I didn't expect that even aviation would be suspended. Fortunately, we caught the last flight." After getting off the plane, Liu Ru couldn't help but sigh.

Her pair of somewhat spiritual and beautiful eyes looked at Xianyang Airport...

Strictly speaking, this was her first time to travel far away and experience an ancient capital city with a completely different charm from the international city of Mingzhu City's East Capital, while her sister followed Lin Ran like a little bird.

"Excuse me, everyone, every passenger landing needs to show their identity and explain their purpose." A man in uniform stopped several people at the exit and said seriously.

"Have I flown abroad?" Mo Fan frowned. He had never heard of such a check.

"This is an extraordinary period, please cooperate," said the uniformed man.

"We are here for tourism. They are my mistresses, so I cannot reveal their identities." Mo Fan refused directly.

Liu Ru blushed when she heard Mo Fan's answer.

Can't you lie in a more normal way? What mistress? And how could Lin Ran be a mistress? He is a man.

The uniformed man's expression froze. He had never seen anyone bringing out a mistress so self-righteously, and one of them was a man. Do all rich people play around like this?
Finally, after Mo Fan gave the man some money, the man coughed and said, "Let's go. Don't be so ostentatious."

As Lin Ran walked forward, the man's eyes fell on Lin Ran's butt, which did look quite attractive.

……

It was still broad daylight, and the dead were still sleeping in their graves.

It would take some time to drive from Xianyang to the ancient capital. Mo Fan was too lazy to take the bus, so he directly summoned the Swift Star Wolf and sped along the edge of the highway to the ancient capital. Seeing Mo Fan summon the Swift Star Wolf, Lin Ran also summoned the Dark Wolf to move forward together.

It can be seen that the ancient capital is now in a state of strict alert, and even high city walls can be seen erected in the outer city area.

Ancient capitals have ancient city walls. The area inside the ancient city walls is considered the city center, and outside the ancient city walls are other urban areas such as the Wild Goose Pagoda and the Forest of Steles. The inner city walls are more often used for sightseeing...

Nowadays, in addition to the inner city wall, a larger outer city wall has been built. The diameter of this outer city wall is about five times wider than the inner city wall. People who were originally distributed in different urban areas, including suburbs, have all asked to move to this outer city wall. .

"This is the first time I've seen such a large-scale Anjie." Liu Ru raised her head and looked up at the outer wall that was like a mountain ridge.

Liu Xian nodded and hugged Lin Ran tightly.

“I don’t know how many earth magicians built this. It’s really spectacular… It also shows that the situation here is very serious. I guess there must be danger outside the city wall.” Mo Fan said.

The outer city wall project is so vast that from Mo Fan's perspective, it feels like there are two sections facing the sky, and the edge of one side of the outer city wall cannot be seen at a glance.

He remembered that the circumference of the inner city wall of the ancient capital was only about 14 kilometers, but the outer city wall that included most of the urban area was countless kilometers long, completely protecting the entire ancient capital...

There are people from the Magic Association guarding the city gate, and the military mage is responsible for the investigation.

Now in broad daylight, the entry and exit of living people is not very strict, but when it is close to dusk, the military will not allow people to leave the city, because everyone knows that ordinary people will become food for the undead if they walk out of the protective outer wall...

After passing through the heavily guarded outer city wall, the situation inside the wall was not that different from other cities. However, because people from different suburbs were concentrated in these urban areas, the streets seemed very prosperous and lively.

There is a newly built huge city wall, which protects the city like the long body of a giant dragon. The citizens don't need to worry about the blood and rain outside, or they have already gotten used to the undead and can just go on with their lives!
……

Lin Ran and his friends did not stay in other urban areas, but went directly to the Clock Tower Magic Association.

The Bell Tower Magic Association and the Drum Tower Hunter Alliance were considered the most central points of the ancient capital, standing tall in the inner city walls. They had originally wanted to go to the military district where Zhang Xiaohou was assigned to find out the situation, but they felt that it was unnecessary, so they simply asked the person who had sent the death notice directly...

The man told them that Zhang Xiaohou disappeared while carrying out a rescue operation. His body has not been found and no rescue has been sent. However, one thing is certain: the place where he had the accident is between Yangyang Village and Hua Village.

In such a period when the undead were rampant, the only people who dared to live outside the city walls were probably the people of the Weiju tribe. Their villages are still safe and sound. Unfortunately, since these villages do not use modern equipment, the transmission of information is very slow. It takes a long time to send a letter...

The news of the annihilation of the entire army was delivered by a villager, and the military has never been able to verify it.

Mo Fan and Lin Ran talked with Zhang Xiaohou's instructor Fei Jiao for a long time. Instructor Fei Jiao also tried his best to tell them what he knew. It was obvious that Instructor Fei Jiao also cared about Zhang Xiaohou's life and death, but now he had more important tasks to do and could not find out the truth.

"Where are we going then?" Liu Ru asked.

“Find some experienced people to go to Yangyang Village with us.” Mo Fan said.

Lin Ran nodded and said, "Yeah."

They are unfamiliar with everything here. The undead are sometimes scarier than demons. Whether they are trying to find out the cause or to rescue people, they need a reliable team.

Originally, they hoped to find some experts in the Magic Association, but the people in the Magic Association were not very interested in going out, so they had to go to the Gulou Hunter Alliance...

Among the wizard hunters, there are a lot of those who are not afraid of death!

There are many people in the hunter hall.

These hunters are wherever there is danger. The more dangerous the place, the more treasures there are. The Ancient City Hunter Alliance is particularly active!

A few people looked at the scrolling bounty screen and found that the most popular commission was "rescue"...

The Undead are rioting, and many people are in danger outside the city walls. Those who are already safe will naturally pay a large price to ask the hunters to rescue them.

“They are basically all here for rescue. It seems many people are in danger…” Liu Ru said to Mo Fan.

"What are you trying to save? They're all corpse collectors." A duck-throated voice broke in.

Liu Ru turned around and saw a short hunter mage standing next to her. With her height, she had to lower her head to see the man's face. Liu Xian also looked at the hunter mage.

Seeing the twin girls looking at him, the short guy started to show off his experience and said, "Those who send out commissions just don't want their loved ones to become one of the undead outside. So, our Ancient City Hunter Alliance is about to become a corpse collection alliance."

"What are you saying? I have a friend who is missing outside..." Mo Fan glanced at the short man and asked.

Lin Ran's eyes also fell on the magic hunter.

"I can see that this is your first time in the ancient capital. Do you know the rules of the wizard hunters here?" The short man's eyes showed some contempt, but also a sense of superiority as he had been here for many years.

“I really don’t know.” Mo Fan asked humbly.

Lin Ran, Liu Ru and Liu Xian were also very curious.

"There is no living hunter here who hasn't abandoned his teammates... The most common phrase they say is: "Don't look back, wait until daytime to collect the bodies!" said the short man.

"If someone in the team is in trouble, why not rescue them?" Liu Ru said in great confusion.

Although she is not a hunter, she knows that any hunter with a conscience will abide by the team's conventions and will not betray or abandon others!

"Sorry, this doesn't apply here." The short man laughed.

"Then what do you mean by the Corpse Collection Alliance you just mentioned?" Liu Ru continued to ask.

“Anyone stranded outside will surely die if they spend the night there. Sending people to rescue them is just a nice way of saying it. In fact, we are just collecting the bodies to prevent their skeletons from becoming undead. So, don’t count on saving people. It will be a great achievement if you can successfully find one or two pieces of your friends’ remains and make sure they come back alive.” The dwarf smiled and stroked his duke’s beard.

"How could this happen?" "I'm not trying to scare you. It was like this before, not to mention now..." The short man narrowed his eyes and looked straight at Liu Ru and Liu Xian while speaking, just enough to catch a glimpse of Liu Ru's breasts, which were not big, but beautiful and firm!
Liu Xian and Liu Ru hid near Lin Ran.

"Since you are talking to us, it means you have a solution?" Mo Fan looked at the short man and said.

"Hehe... this guy is quite smart." The short man laughed again, and his two curled mustaches made him look particularly proud.

“That’s right, that’s right.” Mo Fan also laughed.

"I know there are a lot of smart people nowadays, and few of them will believe someone like me who speaks big words. You just walk around here. If someone is willing to go with you, just go ahead. But don't blame me for not reminding you that even if you give them money like this, they may not go." The short man laughed dryly and walked away with his hands behind his back.

Mo Fan really didn't believe it at first. This short man looked like a charlatan who was out to cheat people out of money and sex.

But after the few people walked around, no matter whether they tried to demonstrate their strength, show off their status as high-level hunters, or even offer to pay to hire someone, as soon as they heard that they were going to Yangyang Village, everyone's face changed and they would not go no matter how much money they were offered.

Later, after some investigation, they learned that the Sha Yuan had appeared near Yangyang Village. Although they didn't know what the Sha Yuan was, it was obvious that all hunters were very afraid of it.

In desperation, they could only go back to find the short man. The short man had expected them to come back, and was sitting with his legs crossed, smoking a cigar, and squinting at the plump Liu Ru and Liu Xian.

"How is it?" the short man asked deliberately.

“Just as you said.” Mo Fan said with a wry smile.

"Then let's talk about the price." The short man said straight to the point.

“My friend is more important. You can drive. We don’t care about this little money.” Mo Fan said without further ado.

If someone is willing to lead the way and act as a guide, they will definitely charge a fee, and Mo Fan is mentally prepared for this.

The short man held up a finger.

"One million, deal." Mo Fan agreed readily.

"Do you think I'm a beggar? I want ten million!" The short man sat up suddenly.

Mo Fan was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Liu Ru and said calmly, "Let's go by ourselves."

Liu Ru and Liu Xian on the side were speechless. They didn't know which guy had said something a few seconds ago, saying that friends were more important than small money. Lin Ran touched his chin and thought that Mo Fan was trying to lower the price, so he didn't say anything.

"If we go by ourselves, not only will we not know the way, but we may also step into the tomb of the undead. Although it is expensive, it seems that no one in the huge Hunter Alliance is willing to go there except him... I still have some money here..." Liu Ru suddenly spoke.

"Liu Ru, this is not the way to spend money... Well, where did you get this huge sum of money?" Mo Fan couldn't help but ask.

"These are all gifts from the little vampires. They are all quite rich." Liu Ru said in a low voice. Although most of the vampires had been cleared out before, the number of vampires was increasing every moment. However, these vampires were basically under the control of the Inquisition. Many vampires were transformed from wealthy people with serious illnesses, so these vampires respected Liu Ru very much. After all, Liu Ru's master had destroyed countless vampires.

"Oh, since it's ill-gotten gains, I'll take it."

"..."

Liu Ru couldn't help but burst out laughing as she watched Mo Fan accept the card in all seriousness.

She thought Mo Fan would be a chauvinist and not accept it, but it turned out that this guy was greedy for money and was a bad person.

Mo Fan couldn’t afford ten million now.

He had no money at all. After all, little Yan Ji was the most expensive baby in the world and had used up all his savings.

Of course, the rewards are also amazing. Without Little Yan Ji, Mo Fan would not be able to knock down Dongfang Lie, who possesses the fourth level Fiery Fist, with just one punch!
Liu Ru's bank card solved the urgent problem. Mo Fan didn't bother to be polite with her and just regarded it as a trick on Lin Ran.

Lin Ran looked at Mo Fan in confusion. He originally thought that this guy was trying to lower the price, but he didn't expect that he really had no money.

"What are you looking at? I'll return it to you later." Mo Fan said to Lin Ran.

After taking the card, the short man glanced at Mo Fan with a bit of contempt.

The short man thought Mo Fan was very capable, as he had two beautiful and obedient girls around him. It turned out that he was just a gigolo.

This beauty is quite rich. She didn't even blink an eye when she spent 10 million. These old hunters who hang around in the ancient capital may not be able to earn that much even after several years...

“Give me 20% off!” Mo Fan wanted to bargain.

"No!" the short man was firm.

He and his brothers were the only ones who dared to go, so he refused to give in.

"Does it include protection?" Mo Fan continued to ask.

"No guarantee. My brothers and I are strong enough, but you also have to be able to protect yourself. We can guarantee that you will not be surrounded by undead at night, but we cannot guarantee that there will be no wandering undead attacking you." said the short man.

"We have no problem protecting ourselves." Liu Ru said.

"I have one more condition. I will take more than just your order, so there will be other people in the team." said the short man.

“Fuck, you’re still making conditions. Fuck.” Mo Fan cursed.

It was so dark, he had never seen anything so dark before. This was the most expensive guide in the world.

"Brother, we have a hunter master as our guarantor, and we will risk our lives to do your job. This price is only given when we are allowed to take other orders. You can also charter a car, 20 million." said the short man.

“Go, go, go and attract your customers.” Mo Fan didn’t want to waste words with the short man anymore.

Mo Fan had verified the identity of the dwarf man before looking for him for the second time. He was a high-level hunter and had no black history.

And the master hunter who vouched for the dwarf man's team had no problem with that either.

Liu Xian said, "His eyes are very obscene."

"Yeah." Liu Ru also nodded hurriedly.

"After all, you are beautiful girls, and you are twins, so it is normal to be observed. He recognizes your beauty." Lin Ran said.

The two girls immediately became shy.

Mo Fan rested his head on his arm and said, "This time it might be very dangerous, you have to be prepared."

Lin Ran sensed from Mo Fan's words that Mo Fan was not very confident this time. It seemed that the entire ancient capital was under martial law, which brought him a little pressure.

Lin Ran flexed his arms and said, "We can even kill the Silver Dome Lord, so why should we worry about the undead?"

Although Lin Ran said this, the Mountain Corpse is actually a genuine supreme monarch. Even if Mo Fan activates the angel form and the demon form, he may not be able to kill the Mountain Corpse.

I hope I don’t encounter the Mountain Corpse too soon…

“Hahaha, that’s true.” Mo Fan said with a smile. This time he felt that he might need to use the power of the devil.
