Chapter 77

Lane City.

During this period of time, a series of major crises suddenly broke out, throwing the whole city into turmoil.

Originally thinking that it was just an ordinary lich causing trouble, the heir to the territory went with the elites of the Phoenix family to completely eliminate the evil lich that threatened Lane City.

As a result, when they arrived at the place, they discovered that it was not an ordinary lich causing trouble at all, but the servants of Naraku, the God of Death, who forcibly built a base there, exposing the evil god to the public for the first time.

What's even more frightening is that the other party didn't hesitate to consume divine power to completely turn the place into a realm of death, filled with terrifying death energy. Once a creature dies in that place, the corpse will definitely become an undead creature!
Now the dead zone has covered a large area of ​​land in the northwest of Ryan City, and the area has expanded to be as large as Ryan City. Countless creatures have turned into undead creatures under the erosion of death energy.

But these low-level undead creatures are the best mobs for leveling for those favored by the gods.

With low defense, poor attack, slow speed, and rich killing experience, it attracted a large number of gods to rush over, and they formed teams to take risks and fight around the dead zone.

Not only the dead zone that suddenly appeared, but also an ancient black dragon appeared in the dead swamp southwest of Ryan City!
The other party has been sleeping in a certain cave in the Death Swamp. It seems that he woke up after sleeping enough and started hunting on the vast Death Swamp, which immediately caused countless creatures to flee the swamp in horror.

Some of the lizardmen, trolls, ogres and other ethnic creatures that originally settled in the Death Swamp have surrendered or relocated.

A primordial black dragon with a challenge level of 22 is enough to easily destroy any group here.

Therefore, under the pressure of the dragon, many beasts fled there and got closer and closer to Lane City.

But in this way, the God's Blesseds like it even more. They can engage in fierce and frequent battles without going deep into the swamp, thereby quickly improving their own strength.

Originally, most of the monsters around Lane City had been cleared. If you wanted to fight, you had to stay dozens of miles away from the city. It was not easy to find those cunning monsters, which was of little significance to the God's Favored Ones.

But now, the emergence of the dead zone and the awakening of the black dragon in the dead swamp have brought thousands of god-favored people into the city, and it has also driven the economy of the entire city, especially in forging, medicine, enchanting and other industries. It is developing rapidly.

Where there is demand, there are business opportunities. These industries that are closely related to combat will naturally reap the greatest benefits...

The sun gradually sank to the horizon, and the brilliant sunset glow on the horizon still remained.

The adventurers who went out to fight returned one after another to supplement consumption and process the items and materials in their hands.

Adventure is not a play, you must prepare a lot, otherwise you will be unable to move a step outside.

Just the basic necessary items for outdoor adventures, food, drinking water, insect repellent, antidote, healing potion, and holy water to deal with undead creatures, etc., these things are consumables, even if you fill up the space with equipment , will be used quickly.

The West City Gate was bustling with people, mostly the returned gods and some ordinary businessmen.

The soldiers guarding the city gate stared at the passers-by with piercing eyes. During this period of time, the flow of people has increased several times, making their tasks even more onerous.

But no matter how tired they are, they have to do a good job of guarding, otherwise if something goes wrong, they can't bear it and walk away.

At this time, someone came from the west on a tall and handsome horse, which attracted a lot of attention.

The opponent's mount is too attractive, it belongs to the top-level war horse, and not many people can afford a war horse worth nearly a thousand gold coins, and can afford to keep it.

Buying this kind of war horse is only part of the cost, and daily care and maintenance also costs a lot of money. It is an expensive luxury for most adventurers.

Adventurers basically hire a carriage when they go out, and they will return the carriage when they are close to the wilderness. Otherwise, they don't have so much time to take care of their mounts in the dangerous wilderness.

At this time, Marcus, the captain of the guard who was in charge of the security of the city gate, suddenly said in shock: "Master!?"

He was a little unsure, but he had seen the other person's face more than once, and he could tell that the calm and handsome face was the young master, the only heir of the family!

However, hadn't the other party been buried in the terrible death realm a long time ago? How could he come back unscathed?
The other party came to him on horseback, looked down at him with a smile and said, "Marcus, long time no see."

"Oh my god, it's really the young master!" Marcus immediately confirmed the identity of the other party, whether it was the face or the tone of voice, they were all consistent with the young master in his memory, which made him tremble all over with excitement.

"Young master, where have you been these days? I haven't heard from you for so many days, making everyone think you..."

A burly man danced excitedly, as if he couldn't express his inner joy without doing so.

"I went to a relatively far place, that's why I was delayed for so long. Well, I'll go back to the City Lord's Mansion to see my father first, and we'll talk about it later." The handsome young man on horseback said gently.

"Okay, I'll let someone notify the Earl right now. Young master, it's good that you come back, I hope you won't be too shocked when you see the Earl."

After Marcus calmed down, he sent a guard to gallop back to the City Lord's Mansion on horseback, to pass on the good news first.

Not far away, the gods who lined up to enter the city showed surprise, and whispered to each other.

Obviously, this handsome young man is the sole heir to this huge territory, and it seems that he can choose to curry favor with him in order to get rich rewards.

For those favored by God, the higher the status of the aboriginals, the more abundant the harvest.

The other party's random orders will involve the entire Ryan City, belonging to the powerful figures among the aborigines, so naturally they have to curry favor with them, so as to receive well-paid tasks...

……

As the news spread, the entire city lord's mansion was completely alarmed. Servants rushed to tell each other, so that all members of the Phoenix family knew the news and stood guard at the gate.

Su Yun rode a horse into the City Lord's Mansion, jumped off the horse casually, handed over the reins to a groom, walked forward under the gaze of many people, and greeted these people casually.

The little maid Bella has already come up to meet her, her eyes are as red as a bunny, with misty luster.

As the personal maid who was most familiar with him and had been with him for the longest time, his disappearance naturally made the other party most worried and frightened.

But Bella didn't say much, and directly took Su Yun to the place where the Earl was.

After Su Yun saw the Earl with his own eyes, he finally understood what Marcus said. The figure in front of him made him unable to believe his eyes.

I saw that the other party's originally brown-black hair had completely turned into white hair, and his tall and burly body had also become stooped, and his face was covered with wrinkles, as if he had aged dozens of years all of a sudden.

Whitehead overnight!
From this, we can see how much pressure the other party has been under these days!
Su Yun walked in front of the other party and said softly, "Father, I'm back!"

"Well, it's good to be back." The earl put his hand on his shoulder, his body was shaking slightly, showing that he was not calm.

"Come with me and tell me what happened."
