Chapter 305: The Nightmare Demon Attacking Ninglan New City

"So, if I may be so bold as to ask, this method of yours that utilizes elements... hmm, it's quite unheard of."

After chatting with this City Lord for a while longer, I turned the topic to a place of interest for me.

Because I had previously seen their methods of using runes, it could be said that transcendent power was a means of driving transcendent energy by using rune rituals as tools.

For example, transmutation rituals, which produce alchemical items, are alchemy; forging weapons and condensing holy relics, this is dwarven forging, and so on.

Although the outer armor of the City Defense Army looked somewhat like an alchemical product, there was still a clear difference.

"Utilizing elements... are you referring to extraordinary power?"

At this moment, Ninglan Qiuyun was not quite sure what I was describing, so he asked tentatively.

"You call it extraordinary power? That seems quite fitting. I'm referring to... for example, the chandelier above our heads is driven by the light element. The weapons and armor of the City Defense Army, and even the city walls, have methods of utilizing this extraordinary power. We also have similar methods, which we call alchemy, solidified spells, and the like."

"Oh, you're referring to these. I'm truly sorry, these technologies involve the very foundation of our Ninglan New City. I cannot explain these technologies to you in detail."

At this moment, Ninglan Qiuyun also showed a troubled expression, as if he really couldn't say.

"Alright, I was being presumptuous."

Hearing him say this, I didn't continue the conversation.

Although from my perspective, this was a kind of self-seclusion.

Technology could only develop through exchange.

And from the technologies of theirs that I had come into contact with so far, even after so many years of development, I, who had just started in alchemy and runology, could still see through most of it.

This was enough to show that this technology was not very good.

But who was to say, the other party was the City Lord who controlled the entire Ninglan New City.

As the City Lord who defended the city, his primary goal was to maintain stability, and then development.

Had he not thought that announcing the technology would cause a technological explosion?

If he hadn't thought of it, he would have shown it off to me without hesitation and introduced it to me, instead of hiding it.

It had a bit of that meaning of keeping the people ignorant.

Technology that was too advanced would also threaten the stability of Ninglan New City.

"If you are very interested in this aspect, you can find some like-minded people in the city to discuss it with in the coming days. I remember there is an organization like the Extraordinary Technology Research Association in the city. Perhaps to you, these technologies are just child's play."

"Is that so? I feel that just looking at them gives me no small inspiration."

Hearing that there was such an association among the people, I did feel an impulse to go and have a look.

After all, technology is not good or bad, and different civilizations will collide to create different sparks.

Although this City Lord had been hinting that these technologies were child's play to us, perhaps he could tell from my attitude that I also had some understanding of their technology, so he should be a little wary.

After all, if I were to spread this technology wantonly in Ninglan New City, it would be even more terrifying than those who acted tyrannically in the city relying on their "pseudo-invincibility."

However, seeing the expression on the other party's face that hoped I would not continue to talk about this aspect, I did not say any more.

"By the way, may I ask, do you mind if I learn about your history? I'm quite interested in your history."

"History?"

Ninglan Qiuyun was slightly relieved to hear me change the subject.

"If you want to learn about our history, you can go to the history museum in the city. There are not only all kinds of creations and relics left from our history, but also the most complete historical records. If the two of you want to learn, I can say a word to the curator, and he will take you to learn in detail. That curator is our Ninglan New City's..."

Just as this City Lord was introducing their history museum to me, the door of the reception room here was knocked on a bit abruptly.

Then, a figure rushed in before this City Lord could say 'come in'.

"Ninglan Qiuyu! Have you forgotten all the etiquette I taught you when you were growing up? To be so rude, can't you even wait for me to say come in after knocking on the door?"

At this moment, Ninglan Qiuyun stood up directly, his aura completely different from when he was talking just now.

"Dad..."

"Call me City Lord. If it's for official business, then it's excusable. If it's a private matter, we'll settle the score later."

While these two were arguing, Big Sis Bai and I also stood up.

I looked at this slightly younger boy.

Judging from his name, he might be the son of this City Lord, Ninglan Qiuyun, the future successor of Ninglan New City.

To be so rash was indeed inappropriate.

At this moment, several other people followed in, and I didn't know if they were following to see the situation.

"Yes..."

Ninglan Qiuyu fell silent after being told this by his father, but his gaze sized us up on the side, though it didn't linger for long.

It seemed that there was really something urgent.

"City Lord, that woman from before, she has appeared again. She has already caused serious damage in the main urban area. The personnel there have been evacuated, but..."

"What? Where?"

Hearing this report, Ninglan Qiuyun didn't even have time to listen to the end before he interrupted directly.

"At the Ninglan Xiang Hotel. The City Guard is fighting that monster there."

"Ninglan Xiang Hotel? Why there?"

"It must be those outsiders. Does that even need to be said?"

Ninglan Qiuyu said, his gaze sweeping towards us, his expression carrying a hint of targeting.

It was as if he felt that all of this was done by us outsiders.

But I understood that the facts were indeed so.

Most of this was planned by the Academy Head.

This blockhead had actually guessed correctly.

However, this guy named Ninglan Qiuyu really didn't know how to hide his emotions.

He would suffer a great loss like this.

Looking at us with such a gaze, wasn't he afraid that we would misunderstand?

"No, I have to go there myself," Ninglan Qiuyun shook his head and said subconsciously.

"City Lord, no! You can't go. That monster is not something you can solve by going there."

"That's right! You can't joke with your life!"

At this moment, the people on the side also held the City Lord, until he calmed down and knew that he had been impulsive.

"Then authorize the use of the Type III Extraordinary Killer. Quickly, before that monster causes greater damage, drive her away," Ninglan Qiuyun said.

However, I also noticed that he said drive away, not kill.

It seemed that even Ninglan New City did not have a very good way to deal with an existence like the Nightmare demon.

But obviously, I was more interested in what the so-called Type III Extraordinary Killer that the City Lord mentioned was.

It should be... a weapon made with the extraordinary power technology he mentioned, right?

This reminded me of alchemical items.

"Did something happen? Why don't I go and have a look too," I said.

"We won't trouble the two of you with this matter," Ninglan Qiuyun refused subconsciously.

After all, how could he let a guest face danger personally?

"It's no trouble. And the Nightmare demon is also our enemy. If it's convenient, we don't mind joining forces to see if we can kill that guy. The City Lord shouldn't have forgotten the characteristics of the Nightmare demon I told you about, right? Hmm… the monster you were talking about just now should be the Nightmare demon, right?”

"This... yes. If there are no surprises, that monster should be the Nightmare demon you mentioned. So I'll have to trouble you. I'll let Qiuyu take you there."

At this moment, Ninglan Qiuyun also had an apologetic look on his face.

Although it was estimated that he was very hopeful for us to make a move, at least this emotion could not be directly expressed.

"Then let's do it this way for now," I nodded and looked at Big Sis Bai.

Big Sis Bai had no objection to my decision throughout the whole process.

Although it was indeed very dangerous to face that Nightmare demon, she was confident that she could protect Little Han in the face of such a monster.

"Please follow me."

Seeing Ninglan Qiuyun's arrangement, Ninglan Qiuyu put away the emotion he had towards outsiders just now and said to us.

"Mm, I hope we didn't cause you any trouble," I said politely, and then went with Big Sis Bai.

After leaving Ninglan Township Fortress, we followed some of them to the so-called Ninglan Xiang Hotel, while the other part went to get the so-called Type III Extraordinary Killer.

On the way there, I also felt that their physical fitness seemed to be a bit different from ordinary people.

Even if ordinary people trained, there would always be a limit.

It seemed that the extraordinary skills they had mastered should also have body strengthening methods, and it had been popularized in the army.

However, we could keep up.

Although I was in a dream, my constitution reflected the strength of my real body.

The body strengthening brought about by witchification also showed a great gap in front of these ordinary people.

On the way there, I also understood that the so-called Ninglan Xiang Hotel was the place used to accommodate us outsiders.

In other words, we could go there to sleep at ordinary times.

And this time, the Nightmare demon attacked the Ninglan Xiang Hotel, it was highly likely because outsiders were gathered there.

Perhaps this was the reason why Ninglan Qiuyu had a prejudice against us outsiders before.

When we arrived at the disaster area, it was no longer as prosperous as we had seen before.

It seemed that the crowd had been evacuated quickly.

Not far away, we heard a series of screams and panic, and a charming and seductive female voice that bewitched the soul.

"Haha Poor ants, don't run. Shouldn't you pick up those hard and long weapons in your hands and pierce me through."

"Come on, a little more. Although your essence tastes a bit spoiled, who made me hungry. I'll just make do with it for now."

"Look, is this new food here?"

Our arrival also attracted the attention of that Nightmare demon.

"Oh, isn't that the little brother who ran away from the battle before? Did you bring two beauties for me as side dishes? How thoughtful."

At this moment, this Nightmare demon had reached a lawless realm.

From her confident speech and the City Guard who was suppressed by her to the point where they could only let her taste them, one could see her arrogance.

"Big Sis Bai, let me do it. This level is not enough to make you act," I said.

"Be careful! That guy is very difficult to deal with!"

At this moment, even Ninglan Qiuyu, seeing me step forward, reminded me.

He was naturally not a fool.

To be able to chat with them without even panting after rushing here so quickly, she didn't look like an ordinary weak woman.

"I know, but I'm not weak either."

As I spoke, with a wave of my hand, several floating evocation spells appeared.

Fireball, Wind Blade, Lightning Strike, the effects of these spells became extremely powerful at this moment.

The originally confident Nightmare demon was disdainful when she saw my attack.

With a wave of her hand, a defense was prepared to take it head-on, but... after taking my first Fireball, she had no choice but to choose a conservative response and was forced to go to reality.

Then, several spells passed through her body without causing her any damage.

But the first Fireball burned a lot of her already scarce cloth, and even her hair became a little messy due to the high temperature and explosion.

It seemed that the confident defense just now had some effect.

At least this time, it didn't blow her into a severely disabled state.

"You you! You're from the main world... good... good! I was still looking for you everywhere, and you delivered yourself to me?"

At this moment, the Nightmare demon stared at us fiercely.

The injury did not discourage her from retreating, but aroused her ferocity.

And she changed her previous posture and launched her attack on us.

The crazy look in her eyes seemed to change the world in an instant.

"In this world where the dream invades reality, this is completely my home ground! Die! I will suck your essence dry and drain your soul-substance!"

"The last one who said that to me is dead, not even ashes are left. By the way, can't you Nightmare demons change your lines to something more creative?"

As I complained, I also began to take it seriously.

As the other party said, this place where the dream invaded reality was the home ground of the Nightmare demon.

The other party had a great advantage, which could not be denied.

As long as the other party remained in reality, I would not be able to carry out any useful attacks on her.

But the other party would not be so stupid.

In reality, she would have to face the siege of more people.

Although these people were all very ordinary mortals, the weapons and armor they held, including their body strengthening, were all transcendent means, and the other party could not ignore them.

And... didn't some people go to get that so-called Type III Extraordinary Killer just now?

"Quick, when I can't hit her, you guys attack her quickly. She can't be immune to both my and your attacks at the same time!"

At this moment, I also turned my head to look at those City Guard and Ninglan Qiuyu.

After all, this was not just my business.

They couldn't just watch the show.

I didn't have full confidence in killing the other party alone.

"Hmm? This way... I understand."

As the City Lord's son, Ninglan Qiuyu's mind naturally turned quickly.

Moreover, at such a critical moment, he couldn't just let an outsider fight for them.

"Join forces? Even if we join forces, don't even think about making me suffer a loss again!"

At this moment, this Nightmare demon had shed her previous charming posture and transformed into the ultimate combat posture belonging to a Nightmare demon.

Even though this posture was terrifying, the well-trained City Guard did not shrink back under the leadership of Ninglan Qiuyu.

"When you think about not suffering a loss, you've already lost. I really overestimated you."
