The Death List Novel - Chapter 18

Chapter 18 Leisure Time
As the sky darkened, moonlight town lit up with faint yellow lights, illuminating the entire town in a hazy, dreamy manner. The elves didn’t like to use energy technology. These lights were actually luminous insects attracted by coconut plants.

The elves planted the plant on both sides of the road and set it up as a bonsai flower in each wooden building to attract the nocturnal insects as special lights. If it was time to rest, you could move the bonsai outside the window, and the room would immediately darken.

Qin Lun lay quietly on the wooden bed, thinking about the information Malfoy had given him in the evening.

On his way to visit the inner building of Moonshine Town, Evelyn Polarlys Academy, Kieran saw many other races with steady steps, sharp eyes, and weapons on their backs. He originally thought that these people were apostles, but Malfoy told him that these people were only followers of some senior apostles, just like Little Goblindi.

The veteran apostles generally did not appear near the academy. Those who had plenty of time would either stay in some entertainment venues on the middle floor of Moonshine Town or rest in their own rooms.

The location of the apostles entering and leaving the alien world was essentially the same. As for the apostles who had just completed their missions, they would usually suffer serious injuries. In order to prevent other apostles from ambushing them, they would choose to leave the city and find a secluded and deserted place to enter the alien realm.

The apostles were lonely except for members of the same guild. Even the floating city, which they had a high degree of identity, was treated as a temporary hotel.

Malfoy’s Evelyn Polarlys Academy was not only one of the greatest apostolic academies of the Fairy race, it was also famous throughout the Broken Star System. Of course, this was only aimed at the native races of the Shattered Star System, not at the apostles!

The reason was very simple, but also very strange! The knowledge imparted in the academy was only at the level of the preparatory apostles, which was beneficial to reducing the casualties of the preparatory apostles’ previous missions, but useless to the official apostles.

Many intelligent races had witnessed the infinite power of the apostles to destroy heaven and earth in the shattered starry sky. However, they simply couldn’t understand and imagine how a humanoid creature could reach the level of a Fiendgod rank martial artist in just a few decades, or even a few years.

Correspondingly, in the long history of the past, none of the apostles had ever taught their martial skills and abilities to the native inhabitants of the Broken Star Sky. At most, they had only taught their opponents their martial skills verbally.

As for the experiences of the apostles in other worlds, they were extremely taboo. Apart from the apostles themselves, even the floating cities that they regarded as their second homeland were unable to interfere. Otherwise, there would be only one final outcome, and the apostles would have no chance of compromising in changing the floating city.

Many of the knowledge imparted by the Evelyn Polarlys Academy was derived from the clues and equipment displayed by the apostles of the past great elven sages. This depended on the elves’ long lifespans, which were comparable to those of the higher races. Otherwise, they would not have been able to accumulate inheritances.

These speculations involved many aspects, such as information about alien realms, information about apostles’ martial skills, information about alien missions, and so on. However, these speculations were plausible because they had never been confirmed by the apostles. It was a hint to prepare for the first few missions the apostles would undergo, but it was of little help to the veteran apostles.

…

A deep darkness appeared beneath him. Qin Lun felt powerless and slowly sank down. At this moment, a black shadow with a blurry face appeared above his body and stretched out its arm towards him.

“Brother ~ ~”

“Bang, bang, bang!” In the distance, there seemed to be a burst of drums, and the darkness and figure instantly disappeared.

‘”Ah ~ ~” Qin Lun shouted as he woke up. His chest rose and fell rapidly. He stood up from the bed and covered his face with his hand. He realized that his head was covered in cold sweat.

“Another dream … Joey, did you see her clearly?” Qin Lun muttered as he got up and pulled open the curtains at the bedside. The bright sunshine made him not only squint his eyes, but also the fragrance of birds and flowers from outside slowly dispelled the haze that covered his heart.

“Bang, bang, bang!” The sound of the drums in his dreams could be heard clearly again. Qin Lun frowned slightly and realized that it should be a knock on the door downstairs.

“Master, I’ll go open the door!” The knocking on the door apparently woke up little brother Brindisi, who was resting in the attic. After a whole day of adjustment, the little thing had already adapted to the change in identity from a Sulu youth to an apostle servant.

“It’s you?” After washing up briefly, Qin Lun went downstairs and found that Lin Feng and Xiao Lian were the two people who came to visit.

‘”Yeah! Ha ~ ~” Xiaolian yawned in disgrace. Her eyes were still a little sleepy. Her big eyes had a faint black rim around them. She was forcefully dragged over by Lin Feng. The events of these two days had a tremendous impact on the nurse’s outlook on life and the world, causing her, a little confused and neurotic, to have a rare insomnia.

“This … Boss Qin Lun, Xiaolian and I want to go to the small town’s exchange to take a look. Do you want to come with us?” Seeing Qin Lun’s questioning gaze, Lin Feng hurriedly smiled and said.

When Lin Feng was at the Lulu Clan’s camp, he asked for a magic bullet gun and machete. Old Goblin also gave him a soul force field watch. However, when he arrived at the Moonlight Forest, he discovered that other than the machete, everything else was useless.

The magic bullet spear was taken away by the elves. Only after leaving the city would it be returned to him. As for the Soul Stand Sheet, it was completely useless. The Moonlight Forest gave each of the prepared apostles a button-sized soul force field tool. Not only was it small in size, but it also had a larger scope and a clearer tone. It was not the kind of icy mechanical sound that could be heard.

Of course, there were still quite a few preparatory apostles who felt that the old man had tricked them. However, they couldn’t do anything about it. After all, there were still ores and specialty products from the Lulu Clan that could be selected at that time. A handful of prisoners who had chosen ores and specialty products sold them at high prices on the exchange.

“Shepherd” Hill was one such lucky man. The ore he chose was favored by an official apostle, and he obtained the common currency among the apostles-soul power crystals.

Fortunately, although the floating city had taken away their weapons and motorcycles, it had compensated them with some shattered starry sky currencies, allowing them to choose other tools from the exchange.

The reason why Lin Feng came to look for Qin Lun before he went to the exchange was because the young master of this aristocratic family was extremely insecure. He saw the leader of the elven guards yesterday. Malfoy Molia’s attitude towards Qin Lun was obviously better than the other prisoners. Malfoy’s attitude was the attitude of a floating city, and he brought Qin Lun with him in hopes of getting some convenience from the exchange.

Qin Lun looked at Xiaolian with a faint smile. This girl obviously did not know that she was being used as a shield. However, he still nodded. Malfoy had already told him yesterday that there would be some real spiritual weapons in the exchange, so it would be good to see them.

However, these weapons were basically of the lowest grade, like daggers, Xiaodao, finger tigers, and so on. Other than being able to be brought into the alien world by the apostles, they were similar to ordinary equipment in other aspects, and did not possess any special power.

These items were generally purchased only by the preparatory apostles, and were the only apostle weapons that could be purchased using shattered coins (the common currency in the shattered starry sky). The official apostles would not want these things. They might as well snatch a firearm from another world to buy these weapons.

The Apostle Exchange in Moonshine Town was a double-decker castle with a row of trading windows that resembled bank counters, each seated a beautiful young elf beauty.

Lin Feng automatically went to the counter and asked for a list of items for sale on the exchange. He flipped through it with Xiaolian. Qin Lun and Didi looked at the surroundings in boredom. The little thing’s eyes rolled. He had rested enough yesterday, and now he felt incomparably new about everything in Moonlight Town.

Three rows of exquisite wooden stools were placed in front of the trading counter. They were novel and ingenious, and looked pleasing to the eye like the other elven utensils in the moonlight forest.

‘”Eh! This thing” Xiaolian’s eyes suddenly lit up and a happy smile blossomed on his face.

Qin Lun turned around and saw a turquoise egg on the list of items for sale, marked “piggyback egg” below.

As explained in the catalogue, the piggyback is a bipedal terrestrial bird whose wings have deteriorated and whose two robust legs are capable of running in many terrain, looking a bit like a mixture of Earth’s camel and ostrich. The only drawback of piggybacks is that they are too small and can only ride on one person.

Qin Lun’s heart skipped a beat as he smiled and asked, “Could it be that the compensation you received from the Lulu Clan is just a piggyback egg?”

“Yes, I have two!” Xiaolian tilted his nose and said proudly, “I want to raise them and sign them into contract creatures, so that they can be brought into another world!”

Qin Lun glanced at the price below the piggyback egg and immediately smiled. “Then when will you have to wait? I advise you to sell the piggyback egg to the exchange. They have offered five soul force crystals. This is what is really useful to you right now.”

“Is that so?” Little Lotus wrinkled her face in distress, a little hesitant.

Lin Feng, who was beside her, gritted his teeth and felt jealous in his heart. Of course, he knew that Xiaolian must have been instructed by Qin Lun to choose a special product like the piggyback egg at that time.

However, he immediately felt helpless. He didn’t dare to be as close to Qin Lun as Xiaolian. Who knew when the murderer would become Joey Foster again, and at that time, he would probably take them to his back.

“Three distinguished guests, I’ve finally found you!” An elven guard ran over from the gate of the exchange and said, “The academy is about to open. Please go and listen to it …”

“Let’s go now!” Qin Lun’s eyes lit up. Many of the courses taught at Evelyn Polarlys Academy were related to the preparation of apostles to survive in other worlds, which was the most important thing for them at the moment.
