Chapter 40: The Retrograde

Seventh Block, Black Shark Stronghold, Periphery.

When the three Seans who had rushed from the station to the seventh block with enough weapons entered the slum again, they found that the area had been shrouded in a sudden and strange night, and there was a group of vigilant policemen at the entrance, who even drew their weapons to surround the place, while driving away the crowd of onlookers, while holding some kind of instrument inlaid with silver gems, and examining the terrified poor people inside one by one.

However, the police seemed to be far from undermanned, and within a few moments, the inefficiency of the inefficiency occurred several scenes of poor people under the domination of fear, storming the 'encirclement', and then being struck down to the ground by batons and groaning.

In this regard, the three Sean had no choice but to stand by coldly.

In fact, both sides have their own reasons, the poor people living here after experiencing strange weather changes, of course, do not want to stay in it for long, after all, the streets outside can still enjoy the afterglow of the sunset, while their own residential area has long been swallowed up by the darkness, in stark contrast, and the distant darkness from time to time from a burst of oppression, is the main reason for their fear.

However, the police officers had no better way, they were ordered to ensure that every poor person who left was free of hidden pollution, otherwise they would not be able to afford this responsibility as ordinary people if they were alienated in the assembly area.

The two sides could only maintain such a weak balance and evacuate slowly, until a crazy magic power floated out again in the distance, which instantly made the already frightened poor people even more frightened, and many of them trembled all over, trembling in their mouths, pushing forward, and preparing to rush through the encirclement of the police to escape.

Rather than the fear of the unknown lurking in the dark, they are more willing to face the 'weak' in front of them.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Sean and Eve had to stop their tracks, look at each other, and walk towards the crowd, they planned to provide support to the police, but Jenny secretly cast her magic.

A pair of turquoise pupils were strangely rendered bright gold, and a voice with majesty and oppression made the otherwise noisy environment quiet in an instant.

"Silence. ”

Everyone present was thrilled by this simple word, as if their hearts were being pressed by a big stone, and they felt a little uncomfortable breathing, and even Sean, who was a magician, was not spared.

"Hmph, this is the ability of Miss Old-fashioned to be a third-order 'Inquisitor'. Eve, who was also feeling uncomfortable beside her, looked at Sean's puzzled expression, snorted coldly, and explained.

Inquisitor?

Majesty like a judge?

Trial...

I think it was the authority of the goddess Dawn, and in her name there was a phrase 'Judge of Sin'.

Is our power related to the divine authority of the corresponding pathway?

That's why Mr. Terry, who is also in the first rank, has different abilities from me?

Because the so-called ancient gods did not have the authority of the existing gods?

"Hey, what's the fuss. Before Sean could think about it, Eve, who was anxious on the side, interrupted his thoughts directly, and dragged him to start walking through the crowd.

However, when Sean happened to see a familiar figure, he stopped, gestured to Eve for a while, and walked towards the police officer with the rank of third-class police inspector.

Rudy had long since discovered Sean's familiar figure, but he didn't expect that the person who came to deal with this kind of incident was actually him, but he had been a policeman in the 'Steam Capital' for several years, and knew that there were some things in the world that he could not solve as an ordinary person, just like this incident happened today.

Looking at the smile on Rudy's face, Sean didn't have any extra politeness, escaped from his inner pocket with a pitch-black metal piece with a long tail, and said: "Superintendent Rudy, take this to the Manta Ray Bar in the fourth block, find 'Devil Ray' Harris, and tell him that Sean Morrison needs him to send someone to help." ”

Looking at the metal piece in his hand, Rudy didn't have too many polite words, but the smile on his face began to be a little uncontrollable, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Sean, I'll invite you to drink after that." ”

After saying that, he hurriedly ordered a police officer to go to the manta ray bar with a token to find someone, he was the commander of the scene, and he could not leave at will.

Sean also nodded goodbye to Rudy, who was busy at the beginning, and he didn't ask more about the long-haired burgundy shadow, who was not at the scene and was mostly delayed because of some special events.

After reuniting with Eve and the others, the three of them officially began to head to the interior of the slum, and to their surprise, the crowd that had been huddled together automatically separated to make a path for the three of them to traverse.

The paupers all looked at the three with more or less gratitude and respect, and although they didn't know who Sean was or what they could do, the mere act of turning their backs to them and walking into the unknown darkness was admirable.

The most beautiful retrograde.

Sean and the three of them are not in the mood to care about the changes in the expressions of the poor at the moment, the more they move inside, the more they can perceive the madness hidden in the terrifying magic, and it is no wonder that the people here are so frightened, even the three magicians can feel a lot of pressure.

Soon after, when the three of them were completely away from the paups waiting in line for evacuation, they each took out the extraordinary items they were carrying to keep their guard, and Sean did not apply for a new seal, he was already carrying the 'Emotional Ring' and the 'Night' dagger that Lady Mapel and Gollum had given him.

The more seals the better, after all, every extraordinary item has a strong or weak negative ability, blindly seeking the most quantity, maybe before the enemy appears, he will be dragged down by the seal.

This is also the reason why extraordinary items in various pathways are called seals.

Article 9 of the Magician's Guidelines: Seals can be used, not relied upon.

Sean couldn't help but look at the seals of the remaining two, only to see Eve pull out a dead branch with a few young shoots from the black music box on her back, and Lady Jenny took out a heavy sword that was quite unsuitable for her temperament, and the sword was extinguished with lightning.

In response to Sean's strange eyes, Jenny's grace remained unchanged, but her voice became strange, "Maybe I need to thank Mr. Sean." ”

"Huh?"

"The original owner of this heavy sword is a cultist, as for his identity, of course, he blocked Eve and others from going to rescue your cultists. Even more excessively, she handed it to Sean, as if to show off, "Now it belongs to me again." ”

“...”

Sure enough, it is a woman's nature to have a black belly.

After muttering to Jane in their hearts, the three of them, led by Ms. Jenny, formed a triangular formation and began to move forward vigilantly.

All the way was fine.

Aside from passing through a sentry post consisting of several magicians in black monks' robes, the trio did not encounter any attacks.

It wasn't until he saw the figure of the captain Elf and a lazy young man appear in the eyes of the three of them that he breathed a long sigh of relief, lowered his guard and walked quickly to the rendezvous.

Upon approaching, Sean also noticed that there were two strangers in different costumes next to the captain who were discussing something.

Two of them were dressed in the same black monk's robes with hoods as the magicians on the periphery, the difference was that their robes were embroidered with stars, and there were no extra ornaments to decorate their bodies, and their whole bodies were shrunk under the robes and they couldn't see clearly.

The other two were the opposite, a man and a woman wore military uniforms in a very high-profile manner, but unlike the ordinary red uniforms, their uniforms were pitch black, and they did not wear military ranks on their shoulders, only bronze epaulettes carved with a blood-dripping dagger and a cyan viper wrapped around the dagger.

Unsurprisingly, it should be the magicians of the church and the army.

Before several people could introduce each other, a roar with obvious murderous intent resounded around the entire gorgeously decorated villa, accompanied by an astonishing amount of magic power and the crazy will contained in it.

"Sean Morrison..."

In an instant, the few people who were discussing couldn't help but look at Sean with Elf's gaze, and his scalp was numb in fright, and he muttered, "Uh... None of my business. ”

Poof...

Except for the woman in the military uniform, who didn't laugh, everyone present was amused by Sean's cowardice, especially the somewhat familiar lazy figure.

"Ha, ha, ha... Mr. Sean, it seems that your ability to pull hatred is not much worse than that of the captain. ”

An unfamiliar laugh sounded, and Sean took the opportunity to look, only to find that a handsome man was looking at him with a smile on his face.

Well...

is worthy of a group of people, a black-bellied Ms. Jenny, and a stupid person who learns to be black-bellied.

Within a moment, under Sean's sympathetic gaze, the smile on Elf's half face began to be obvious, and then he patted Lance's shoulder even more kindly, before turning his head to Sean and said gently: "You came just in time, we were still discussing how to lure it out of it just now." ”

"Uh... Captain, you wouldn't want to?"

Elf's smile became more and more gentle, and he gave Sean a thumbs up and said, "We will protect you." ”

“...”

After thinking for a long time, Sean withdrew his sympathetic gaze and said with a straight face: "Captain, although I have only joined the organization for less than a week, although I know that the unknown thing ahead is waiting for me with a blood-dripping giant mouth, but from the moment I became a magician, I am ready to sacrifice at any time, if I have an accident, please engrave 'people who died for justice' in front of my tombstone, and..."

"We'll protect you, Mr. Sean. It was the female officer who had always maintained a cold look and a beautiful face, and her voice was as unwavering as her look.

"Sorry ma'am... What I'm trying to say is, you have to add money..."

Smack!

In response, Sean only had the sound of pulling the bolt, and the female officer's face was full of coldness.

Poof...

The frozen atmosphere was completely broken by Sean, in a burst of laughter, except for a certain black-faced captain and the female officer.

"Get in. ”

"Oh. ”

Sean could only shrug his shoulders as he looked at the captain's face, raised his weapon and stepped through the metal door, cautiously entering the 'familiar' manor.
