Chapter 297 What are you so proud of, having two wings?
The Mage Tower floats in the very center of the magic city.
To avoid interference from Muggle mortals and to concentrate on magical research, the wizards have laid numerous magical traps and giant golems guarding the underground. Unless one joins the Magic Association and possesses a special pass, anyone who gets close will be attacked.
With Chen Feng's hexagonal attributes and the ancient magic he possesses, passing the magic test will be a piece of cake.
But the problem is: the assessment involves a series of procedures such as registration, payment, filling out forms, taking exams, and receiving notifications. By the time Xiaomei becomes a magic apprentice, she has already had a second child.
As a warrior of pure love, Chen Feng would never allow such a thing to happen.
At this moment, Chen Feng noticed a dejected blue-haired swordsman lying at the entrance of the mage tower.
A melancholy man like this must have a lot of stories to tell.
So he patted the other person on the shoulder and said:
"Hey buddy, have you seen a man dressed like a butler in a suit leaving the mage tower?"
However, the blue-haired swordsman didn't even acknowledge Chen Feng, only muttering to himself, "The vampires are here, another city is about to fall."
This guy actually knows about vampires?
Sika's eyes widened, and she was about to ask what was going on when Chen Feng stopped her.
"How naive!"
Chen Feng instructed, "You didn't even consider what would happen if this blue-haired swordsman was a vampire deliberately luring us here as bait?"
Sika was startled: "Big brother... no, Master, what are you talking about fishing?"
Chen Feng slowly analyzed, "If you were a vampire and wanted to find someone who knew the truth about vampires, what would you do? Of course, you would form an organization to fight against vampires, and kill anyone who joins."
That's how the lord treated him back then.
Hearing Chen Feng's words, Sika was stunned: "There's actually such a method?"
"You still have a lot to learn. I dare say he must be a vampire in disguise."
Chen Feng used his appraisal technique, but the result was a slap in the face.
Swordsman Brian
[Level: 42]
[Skills: Six-Hit Combo, Flash, Burst Mode, Super Burst Mode]
Holy crap.
Don't you even know how to use such a simple trick?
Chen Feng revealed a disdainful look: "Xi Huan, you're just a mortal universe without Ci Hang."
Looking at the shared data, Sika thoughtfully remarked, "This name, this level... could it be a swordsman from the neighboring Sword Kingdom?"
Oh?
Chen Feng recalled the information provided by the advisory system: "Is this the second-best fighter who unleashed a full-force attack but failed to shatter the vampire queen's fingernail?"
No wonder he knows about vampires.
It turns out they were fished by the Demon King's army officers.
The thought of possibly running into Demon King's army officers here prompted Chen Feng to immediately order everyone to act: "Start by searching the nearest slave market. Rescue Xiaomei and run! Hurry!"
At this moment, Sasaki, holding a cigarette butt, said hastily, "Could we find a trash can first?"
Sika, anxious to save the person, casually remarked, "Didn't you just say this place was dirty? You could just throw it anywhere!"
However, Sasaki refused, saying, "No, if it were a dirty place, I could just throw it anywhere, but it's so clean here, I feel bad about it."
So many troubles.
Sika looked around and, just as Sasaki had said, the road leading out of the mage tower was spotless, a stark contrast to the dirty streets they had passed.
"But there's only one clean road. Why don't you just throw those cigarette butts on either side of the road?" Sika took a few steps, then noticed Chen Feng standing still, lost in thought, and urged, "Master, let's go! Aren't we supposed to be rescuing Xiaomei?"
Chen Feng remained silent, staring at the ground, and couldn't help but say, "To be fooled by such a clumsy scam, I thought he was an idiot, but now it seems he's not so stupid after all."
"Master, who are you talking about?"
"Your girlfriend, Xiaomei."
Sika was completely confused: "What's wrong with Xiaomei?"
Chen Feng didn't answer Sika's question, but instead asked, "Do you remember what magic you learned from the legendary mage Flameng?"
Sika spoke frankly, "The magic of cleansing, Master, don't you know about it?"
"That's right!"
Chen Feng pointed to the ground and asked, "Look at the ground, what comes to mind?"
Sika pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized and said, "You mean, this is a mark that Mei left for us?"
Correct.
The four followed the trail and soon arrived at a large tent resembling a circus.
Slave market.
The moment Chen Feng saw the sign, he kicked Sika.
Sika asked, puzzled, "What?"
Chen Feng explained, "Cihang people, you should have your ultimate move ready before heading to the battlefield to prevent others from getting the first move when the fight starts. So you can start setting traps now."
"Isn't it a bit too late, Master?"
Sika snapped his fingers, and two face-down cards appeared in front of him: "I had already set a trap before I entered the city."
This?
Chen Feng remained silent for a moment, then couldn't help but pat Xika on the shoulder: "As expected of my disciple, Chen Buyin, I now acknowledge you as one-tenth of the Cihang people!"
Lifting the curtain outside the tent, one can see iron cages of all sizes, containing all sorts of slaves: demi-humans with dog heads, green-skinned beastmen, and the usual human laborers and maids.
You can get rid of all those things by spending just a little money.
Good evening, everyone.
A man dressed in a tailcoat, wearing a top hat, and carrying a gilded cane walked out.
Sasaki couldn't help but remark, "This outfit makes him look like Willy Wonka from 'The Chocolate Factory'."
You know what, it really does look a bit like it.
Chen Feng asked, "Are you the owner here?"
The man in the tuxedo bowed slightly: "Patch, the wandering merchant, you all have excellent taste, managing to find this place. Have you heard of the Shield Hero? The raccoon female warrior beside him bought her from me, and the ice wolf female warrior beside the Healing Sage..."
As they spoke, the man in the tuxedo looked at Sasaki: "Oh? Judging from your attire, you must be a transmigrator from another world. I love making friends, and if you don't have any money, I'd be happy to give you a slave for free."
"You bastard!"
Upon hearing this, Sasaki's deadpan eyes immediately widened. "How dare you sell slaves! You're guilty! Guilty!"
A flash of cold light.
Sasaki drew the best longsword in the village.
Upon seeing someone attack the boss, a male warrior covered in wolf fur rushed out from deep within the tent and stood in front of Patch.
Chen Feng identified the other party's attributes in a second:
Wolf Warrior (Slave)
[Level: 35]
Sasaki's longsword emitted a beam of light, flying towards Patch. The wolf warrior tried to block it with his body, but the sword light passed right through him.
Chen Feng understood: "A guaranteed hit that ignores all obstacles?"
At this moment, Patch, having also assessed Sasaki's abilities, loudly protested, "I'm innocent! This country allows slavery; I was just conducting normal business. You can't execute me!"
However, this did not work.
Sasaki's trial was not based on current laws, but on his personal moral standards.
[Sentencing is underway]
The opponent has triggered the sin of lust; this attack will inflict additional mental damage.
The opponent has triggered the sin of greed; this attack will ignore all of the opponent's defensive equipment.
The opponent has committed two sins, increasing the damage by 100 times.
"If I say you're guilty, then you're guilty!"
Swish.
The sword light pierced through Patch's body.
At the same time, sensing that its master's life was threatened, Patch's spiritual necklace, amulet, and earth shield ring all activated simultaneously, but were all suppressed by the sin of greed.
Such a high level of judgment.
Chen Feng couldn't help but let his imagination run wild: "Where would Sasaki, with his morally fastidious nature, rank in Cihang?"
But the next second he had the answer: a roadside one.
After the light appeared, Patch, though extremely weak, still had a breath left: "Big brother! Don't kill me, I'll release the slaves right now."
He survived a critical hit that dealt him a hundred times the damage?
Chen Feng subconsciously checked Patch's stats as well, and saw that the other party's panel showed:
[Level: 20]
[Attributes: Strength 1, Agility 1, Stamina 20, Intelligence 1, Vitality 20, Luck 1]
Energy affects mental resistance, while physical strength affects health.
The sperm-body connection is truly a life-saving measure.
Chen Feng immediately saw Sasaki's weakness: "Although his special skills are very strong, his level is too low to be effective."
One multiplied by one hundred isn't much.
At this time.
Patch knelt down and begged for mercy, "Brother, please spare me. I only entered into the slave trade because I inherited the family business. If you're not happy, I'll release them all and won't sell them again."
Sasaki sheathed his sword: "In that case, let's get on with it."
Chen Feng glanced at Sika.
Sika replied, "That's a fake surrender, isn't it?"
Good, you've made progress.
Just as Chen Feng gave a thumbs-up, he heard Patch shout, "What are you waiting for?"
In an instant, the wolf warrior pounced on the group, however...
"Wow!"
Grey raised her little hand and made a face, which frightened the wolf warrior so much that he trembled and knelt down with a thud.
This is bloodline suppression.
"How dare you deceive me! You're guilty! Guilty!"
Sasaki was about to draw his longsword again.
Patch quickly surrendered, saying, "Please calm down and listen to me. These slaves have all been bound by life-or-death contracts. If I, their master, die, they will die too."
Upon hearing this, Jessica quickly stopped Sasaki: "Wait a minute."
Sika originally wanted to say that his girlfriend was also inside, but after Chen Feng's guidance, Sika suddenly realized that if it was revealed that he had a hostage on the other party, Patch might use that as a threat.
So Sika casually said, "I think he's still somewhat sincere, so why don't we spare his life?"
"Yes, yes, please forgive me." With that, Patch took out a stack of contracts and keys from his pocket. "These are the contracts of all the slaves present. See, it's very sincere, isn't it? If you let me go, I still have some properties outside, and I can release them all."
I saw the document.
Sika casually took it, only to find that the first page contained Xiaomei's name.
It was here after all!
Sika tore the contracts to shreds one by one, and then, taking the keys, released the slaves one by one.
"I knew you'd come to save me!"
Xiaomei stepped forward and hugged Sika tightly. She had already spotted her when everyone entered, but she hadn't dared to make a sound to prevent Patch from finding out.
This young couple has matured a lot since this incident.
Chen Feng nodded with satisfaction.
"thank you!"
"You're welcome, please go now."
The freed slaves came one by one to thank Chen Feng.
Among them, a short, stout knight wearing a bucket helmet and a rounded breastplate caught Chen Feng's attention.
It cannot be called attention.
Instead, Chen Feng used his identification technique to check each slave as they passed by, to prevent any vampires from exposing them.
When Chen Feng was appraising the knight, he was told that the level was too low to be viewed.
This means that this seemingly honest knight is actually very strong, but for some reason, he was captured and enslaved.
The knight patted the sun emblem painted on his breastplate and said, "Hmph! I am the Sun Knight, Jack Solaire. It's embarrassing to admit, but I originally wanted to rescue these slaves, but I was poisoned and ambushed by this boss."
Not surprising then.
Upon hearing the other person's honest voice, Chen Feng felt that the other person's intelligence was probably not very high.
As for the Sun Knights, Chen Feng had heard Grandpa Sika mention them. It was said that these were human heroes blessed by the laws of the sun during the era of the Sun King. They were not only immortal, but also extremely powerful in combat. Under the leadership of the Sun King, they repelled the attacks of the abyss several times.
However, since the Sun King was assassinated a thousand years ago, their blessings have been taken back, and they have lost their immortality.
Logically speaking, without transforming into undead or making a pact with a demon, humans shouldn't be alive today.
Faced with Chen Feng's questioning.
Jack Solal explained, "Ah! I am not the Sun Knight of yesteryear, but merely a follower of the Sun God."
Sika was puzzled by this behavior. Although believing in gods or demigods could bring blessings and power, the Sun King was dead. What was the point of believing in a dead god?
"No, the Sun King still lives in our hearts, and I, too, have received the Sun King's blessing." Jack Solar waved goodbye to everyone. "If we meet again, I will definitely treat you to drinks, but now, I must follow the sun's guidance to shine brightly. Farewell, friends, may the sun be with you."
After saying goodbye to the Sun Knight.
Chen Feng urged everyone to leave quickly: "This city is full of vampires, I don't want to run into any Demon King's army officers here!"
"Demon King's army officers? Here?" Upon hearing this, the cunning merchant Patch couldn't help but jump up. "Friends, take me with you! I've traveled to many countries, you definitely need a guide! Besides, I have a merchant's certificate, I have the right to leave the city overnight!"
"Then let's go quickly."
Chen Feng's unease grew stronger.
Just then, a familiar voice rang out from the shadows.
"You can't leave."
"When I heard that someone had killed a vampire and could even deal with souls, I wondered if it was you guys who had come after me. After all, you dared to hunt down the Bear King, so you must have some skills."
"So I decided to come and try my luck, and to my surprise, it really was you guys."
Chen Feng squinted and said, "It's you, butler. So you've been turned into a vampire."
The butler's tone was full of fanaticism: "Yes, I have evolved into a higher species."
How did we end up chatting?
Sika looked at Chen Feng with a puzzled expression. Based on his understanding of his master, shouldn't he have started with his ultimate move the moment the enemy appeared?
Little did Sika know that just moments before, the instant the sound rang out, Chen Feng had already activated time stop, preparing to instantly kill his opponent.
However, after circling around, Chen Feng realized that there was no trace of the other party at all.
Looking around with a blank expression after drawing his sword, Chen Feng immediately realized: This old guy is quite cautious; he hasn't shown himself yet.
So Chen Feng immediately returned to his original position, ready to use conversation to lure the other person out.
The steward was indeed fooled: "I never thought that I would be promoted to marquis after just being promoted to earl."
As soon as he finished speaking, a pale figure with bat wings suddenly emerged from the shadows—it was the butler who had completely turned into a vampire.
Almost instantly.
Chen Feng then used his appraisal skills to demonstrate:
Vampire Count
[Level: 60]
[Attributes: Strength 22, Agility 34, Stamina 38, Intelligence 21, Vitality 17, Luck 9]
Since the time stop hadn't fully cooled down, Chen Feng continued to stall for time, saying, "These attributes aren't that great, are you sure you can easily defeat us?"
"Hmph, you don't know yet, do you? Vampires have double the attributes at night, and I, the Earl, have a six-fold bonus." The butler said, spreading his arms wide. "As a superior species, there's an insurmountable gap between me and you. The strong prey on the weak; that's the unchanging law of the world, understand?"
Oh? Is that so?
Chen Feng silently chanted the incantation: "Summon Skeletons!"
Skeletons resurrected by other skeletons are usually stored in a universe called the Underworld, so that they can be summoned at any time.
What Chen Feng summoned was naturally the White Bone Bear King, who had just been killed and then resurrected that day.
A loud slap!
Before the butler could even see what was happening, he and his gold-rimmed glasses were sent flying by the Bear King's slap.
Compared to an attack power of 999 times, a 6x attribute power is nothing!
"You just said 'survival of the fittest,' right?" Chen Feng spat. "Damn! You think you're so great just because you have a couple of wings? You've offended Cihang people, I'll make you fly!"
