Chapter 172: Detecting Evil
"Fortunately, I didn't have any unrealistic expectations for this human city before I came!" Murria shook her head as she rode on the giant wolf and looked at the noisy and feces-smelling streets in front of her.
The street in front of me was bustling with people coming and going, but on the street, there were piles of foul-smelling feces everywhere. It was the caravans that came and went, the lizards that pulled the carts, or the mounts of the adventurers who fell. No human waste has been seen so far.
The city is barely hygienic, because Muria still sees that there are special people cleaning up the feces, but it is not enough at all.
"Dirty city!" Muria shook her head and patted the back of the wolf's neck, "I'm glad I brought you here, otherwise I wouldn't have known what to do." Now you can take me around and move freely, and I want to take a good look at this Terran city, how bad it can be. ”
After receiving Muria's orders, the giant wolf sprang into action, carrying Muria around the city and began to wander around, without any regard for the feelings of the city's inhabitants.
On this day, many residents of Red Leaf City saw a giant blue-black wolf taller than a person, carrying a teenager on its back, leisurely passing by their door.
Then, I don't know how many women were scared to scream, how many children were scared to cry, how many people were scared to incontinence, and everywhere they went, the giant wolf's extremely large body compared to humans would cause a riot.
This city, as the merchant said, is just a small place, and it is indeed a very rare thing for a strong man with a silver-level mount to appear.
The merchants who traveled from south to north were still so surprised, not to mention the small citizens who had never seen much of the world.
"Dirty, messy, bad!" was Muria's only impression of the city in front of him, and he frowned. He was in a very unhappy mood, because the city was extremely disappointing to him.
The outermost part of the city is a slum with sewage and crime. And one more level, is the area with the most cities, that is, the civilian area, its architecture, how to say.
It's better than the slums, barely inhabitable. And the city dwellers walking on the road are all hungry, unlike in their previous lives, walking on the street, casually meeting a person, all of them are full of oil. And they don't have a few bright clothes, they all have a few patches, and they look a little shabby.
It can be seen that ordinary people in this world do not seem to have an easy time surviving. This made Muria very unhappy.
"That's terrible!" said Muria, frowning as she looked at the pedestrians on the road and the low, dilapidated buildings on either side, a little annoyed in her heart.
......
In a dilapidated house, barely collapsing, a brown-haired boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old bent down and picked up his sister, who had been wrapped tightly in coarse cloth, and then walked out of the door with a resolute face, with a look of determination, as if he was dying.
The moment the boy walked out of the room with the girl in his arms, several eyes looked at him with schadenfreude and amusement.
"Behold, it's Sauron again, the idiot, who has taken his sister to heal again. Tsk, why bother? Anyway, it's not curable, why don't you take this money and go to a brothel to play with a few women? What a waste. ”
"That's right, he has the strongest thief talent in our slums, and if it weren't for the curse on his sister's body, he would probably have left the slums a few years ago. ”
"I'm kind of wondering, how much did that guy Zoro spend on his sister?"
"Who knows, it's a number that we can make our envy drool over anyway. ”
"Hey, you say, what kind of curse did Avril fall into, Sauron invited so many alchemists, and several mages, but they didn't cure her of the curse. ”
"Not only is it not cured, but I know that the curse on his sister is even worse!"
"How do you know?"
"Didn't you pay attention to that disgusting stench?"
"......"
The boy with patches all over his clothes, holding his tightly wrapped sister, walked quickly through the streets, trying not to stop in one place as much as possible.
But even so, when the pedestrians walking on the street saw Sauron, they all quickly retreated, like snakes and scorpions.
Many of the citizens who retreated looked at the back of Sauron with disgust on their faces, and many cursed in low voices,
"Damn bitch!"
"Cheap embryo!"
...... They are all people who saw the boy come out of the slum, so they cursed like this, because it is the place where the city's thieves, robbers, and thieves gather, and there is the dark side and garbage dump of Red Leaf City.
The boy carried his sister through the city, and walked towards the central area, where not only the nobles lived, but also many shrines dedicated to the gods of the Principality of Hyakuha.
However, the place where the nobles lived, he didn't want to go to a small pauper like him, he wanted to go to the temple, the largest temple in the city, and the strongest god to worship.
In the central area of Momiji Castle, one after another shrines are towering, tall and majestic, and the clear and translucent divine light of various colors shines on the temple, which is intimidating to look at, and produces a feeling of awe and worship of the gods.
In the center of the temple area is a large castle-like temple, which is a cut above the other temples and is guarded by the rest of the temples in the center, demonstrating its supremacy in the city.
It was a temple made of white marble, magnificent, and a faint divine light shrouded it, like the dawn of dawn, which seemed sacred, solemn and solemn.
This is the temple of the god of dawn, Ransendel, which houses the idol of his god. Used to collect prayers from all believers in the city, when offering faith.
From time to time, citizens in clean and tidy robes walked into the temple with gentle steps, they were all believers in the god of the dawn, some came to the temple to listen to the priest explain the teachings of the god of dawn, and some came to offer their faith to the gods and pray for the protection of the gods.
In front of this pure white temple, eight burly temple guards, dressed in light armor, stood at the gate of the temple without squinting, guarding the temple in case there were unscrupulous people who rushed into the temple. Of course, their actual use is actually to display the prestige of the Church of the Dawn.
At this moment, one of the guards' faces moved slightly, and looked in one direction, and in the bustling streets, a young man in shabby clothes was holding something, walking in the direction where they were, and where he passed, the citizens avoided it, as if they had smelled an unbearable stench on him.
Soon, the boy came to the Temple of Dawn and was about to follow the flow of people into the temple, but, "Stop!"
Under the reprimand of the temple guards, the young Sauron stopped in front of the square in front of the temple entrance with his sister wrapped tightly in his arms, "What are you holding in your arms?"
"My sister!" the boy whispered. "She's under a terrible curse, and I can't cure her by any means I can't, so I want to ask the great god of dawn for help. ”
But at this moment, a gust of wind blew from the boy's position to the guard's position, and a disgusting stench drifted with the wind, causing several guards to have a very obvious look of displeasure on their faces. Let a few believers who are about to enter the temple show a very disgusted expression.
So, the eyes of several guards looked at the boy sternly, because the source of this stench was the package in the boy's arms.
"Show me what your sister looks like!" a guard stepped forward and held out one hand to lift the coarse cloth from the boy's arms.
"My lord!" the boy took a step back, "my sister, she has been cursed, so she looks ugly. ”
"Ugly? could it be more ugly than a goblin or a goblin?" the guard didn't care, insisting on seeing what the young girl's sister looked like, the stench was disgusting. He had to determine what the boy was holding in his arms.
Seeing that the guard insisted, the boy was silent and did not retreat again. So, the guard slowly lifted the coarse cloth that covered the girl's face, and then, a face full of festering wounds was revealed, and the stench was strong.
"This ......" The guard saw the immature face that was almost half rotten, and unconsciously took a step back slightly. Then the middle-aged guard sensed that his behavior was inappropriate, and smiled embarrassedly at the young man.
"Come in!" the guard waved his hand with a hint of pity and sympathy on his face, ready to let the boy in, "Pray sincerely to my lord, and my lord will naturally favor you and remove this disgusting curse from your sister." ”
"I know!" the young man's face showed a hint of joy, and he was about to carry his sister into the temple, he did not expect the gods to send down a gift, he knew who he was, but as long as he could ask any priest in the temple to help, his sister would be saved.
"Wait a minute. Just then, another guard spoke up, once again preventing the boy from entering the temple.
The guard walked up to the young man, looked at the young man with a cold gaze, but did not show any disdain for the shabby clothes on the young man's body, his gaze stayed on the young man's hands holding his sister.
It was a very clean pair of hands, a stark contrast to the shabby and dirty clothes of the teenager. With slender fingers and rounded nails, you can imagine how dexterous these hands will be when they get up.
The boy noticed the guard's eyes, and his hands shrank a little uncomfortably.
"Heh!" Seeing the young man's small movements, the guard's face showed a hint of mockery, and then, the magic aura in his hand lit up and threw it directly at the young man.
"Detect evil!"
Then, a faint red aura lit up on the young man's body......
