Chapter 158: The First Wave, Chaos, Masquerade.

The town of flowers, chosen as the stage, is a peaceful scene, at least for now.

Myron takes Dawn and three classmates to a high-end restaurant in Flower Town, and along the way, two childhood friends talk and laugh, but they can't laugh in their hearts.

Myron Starwitch: Friend, do you dare to take out that thing in your bag? Although there was already a guess when I knew that you were going to the City of Apprentices, this thing made me panic a little!

Jealousy Daun: Damn! The eldest son of a merchant who had never been out of town in his life had all these savings, and I left here to study in the City of Apprentices, only to come back so devastated?

The white mask faintly glows with a faint aura, interfering with and magnifying the hollowness in Dawn Srger's heart, and jealousy makes people look abominable!

"By the way, what about Alan? don't you take her with you?"

Myron smiled slightly embarrassedly: "Alan, she doesn't like to go out." By the way, you look at this picture. ”

In order to divert the topic, Myron took out a photo made with ritual magic, and the True Red Church actually has a commission for this, mainly for real portraits, released wanted, and portraits of the dead with high status, Myron This one is self-made, but no one inquires or records this kind of thing.

Dawn sighed with emotion: "Ah, it's already slim." (Make up the Otherworldly Text by yourself)"

Star Witch does his best to play the role of his brother, showing a proud smile, and Dawn magnifies the hollow, and begins to envy Myron for having such a sister.

"Growing up, Alan has been watching you, right?" The tone unconsciously became a little sour, and the hair unconsciously became close to nature for no reason.

"Ah, what a beautiful young lady!" said the eldest son of a Viscount of the City of Apprentices, "the eyes are beyond any jewel I have ever seen, and the hair is beyond any piece of silk I have ever touched, and she is like ...... This, Mr. Myron, can you introduce me, the eldest son of the family of Viscount Maximov, Kang Rose Mardi Maximov?"

Myron smiled kindly: "Wait for tomorrow." ”

It's not that I said, there's already a white message flowing around you next to you!

Dawn was still polite on the surface, but there was a jealous face in his heart that stared at Conloff viciously.

"Kill him, kill him, kill him...... Alan is mine, at least Myron's pure sister......"

Jealousy and normality are faintly intertwined, the emptiness has not yet swallowed everything, reason and leeway, defects and human reason are still there...... But it won't last long.

A dinner party cost Myron a lot of money from the retreat, and the five of them laughed and sang, but they didn't know who else would laugh tomorrow!

Xingwu's eyes are dark, the situation is too chaotic, but this is also something that cannot be done, his own strength is not enough to control the situation, rather than facing Zhenhong in a fixed chess game, it is better to attract more bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods, and fish in troubled waters.

"I just don't know if there's a hand that plans to touch my fish...... Of course there is, the green scales are here, and the star snake doesn't know how much attention it can attract me......"

On the first night, Green Scales inspires the hustle and bustle and death to begin a long preparatory ceremony, and the masked men arrive in unison.

......

The next morning, there were still six and a half days to go before the Holy Day! The Holy Day begins at nightfall and peaks at sunrise.

There is a homicide in the town, and the deceased is a tourist, a traveler from that crazy apprentice city.

To be honest, this result was unexpected, but it still makes sense. The fanatics were very angry about the city of apprentices who spread the dark magic on a large scale, and a pagan devil came to the territory of the gods, and it was possible that some people would not be able to see it, so the red iron knight who investigated just looked at the scene, recorded the information and ended hastily. If he caught his own fanatics, he actually couldn't punish him. Whether a believer is guilty or not depends entirely on the opinion of the pastor, beyond the judge of the inquisition...... Although judges are also often priests.

Just after the Red Iron Knight had finished his group, the owner of the house, Dawn, stared coldly from the window on the second floor, his face covered with a white face of jealousy.

"That knight is so strong and stylish, much better than the thin body of a scholar like me, and it attracts the eyes of a lady......

Such thoughts whispered in his head, and Daun, who had just completed an extremely good murder, decided to take the time to do it today!

Jealousy has brought Daun's incomparably keen senses and the ability to converge and release breath, and it has also strengthened his physical fitness to a certain extent, and this increase is gradually getting stronger. He put on the mask for the first time last night, and then simply put away his breath and gently slashed his throat with a knife that could be found everywhere, and easily sent a soul away...... In the mask, add to your own abilities.

In front of the speed and reflexes of the murderer, in front of the jealous killer......

"No one can escape my sword, and all beings are equal before the blade. ”

......

Jealous Killer Daun, who carried a large number of broadswords and knives with him, walked briskly around the streets to see if there was any superior who had surpassed him, and the end of the complicated route would be where the knight was going, and he had already sensed the disgusting aura left behind.

"Aha, right in front of you, less than a hundred paces!"

With a slight shake of his hands, two knives were slashed out, and the jealous killer kept his footsteps unchanged, approaching the knight, and saw the knight salute a noblewoman with a dog bag from in front of a large mansion, and then walked inside......

"What am I talking about!"

The pace quickened slightly, and when the knight turned around and closed the door, Dawn arrived in front of the door, taking advantage of the knight's inadvertent eye-raising reaction, the knife had already crossed the blessed knight's uniform, picked up the small red rope, pierced the skin and muscle fibers of the holy water baptism, and submerged into the bright red field.

With a whistle and the knight's body obscuring the movement, Daun's knife flew out of his other hand, slashed across the left hand of the noblewoman carrying the dogbag, jumped upwards, and kissed the depths of the inner corner of the eye along the side of the bridge of his nose.

"I'm perfect now!"

The jealous killer who revels in this satisfaction feels cute...... It feels like I'm perfect, no one can surpass it, and this moment is simply the pinnacle!

"I don't want to fall to this top!"

The twisted jealous face squeezed out Changxiang with a wicked smile, and the mad apostle scanned the surroundings with a sharp, critical gaze, choosing a new prey.

On the ground, the bright red gradually faded, and the puppy who fell out looked at the fallen mistress suspiciously, licked it, and then looked at the fallen knight, and the pocket watch that fell from his chest.

There's a very small picture of a tall boy carrying a girl on his back, and the names of the two of them, the second half of which is the same.

The puppy couldn't understand this, but he felt thirsty and kept licking the bright red in the neighborhood.

In the dog's bag, the earthy yellow mask of stupidity has a large mouth open, and there are no horns on its forehead, only an empty circle. And when the mask covers the dog's face, this void becomes a bottomless black eye.

The puppy is unaware, and the urge to gluttony drives it to lick and bite. And the Jealous Killer who is on a killing spree keeps the place quiet, and the food gradually increases......

......

The dilapidated merchant sneaked out of the wagon, and the wagon, which was much later than the train, made the stealers hungry all night, and it was now the first day.

The beggar hiding in another carriage also came down, and the two men happened to meet.

And masks.

The greedy merchant couldn't help but put on a golden mask, and the beggar who didn't want to hold it all the time also brought laziness, and the connection between the masks made the two people can't help but start to intersect, and then form an alliance.

The greedy nature makes it impossible for the merchant to look at what others have and he doesn't, and this mask only gives him the ability to absorb at the moment, and the lazy emptiness makes the beggar feel that it is okay to give the squires he summons to the greedy merchant, so it's troublesome, let him go!

Attendants who are no different from beggars emerge from the shadows, and the shadows in the position are good for laziness, aren't they?

The squires, carrying the beggars on their backs and avoiding the light, followed the greedy merchants into the town.

The merchant greedily absorbs, the air, the scent of flowers, even the sun, everything makes him feel valuable, to collect, to obtain, to obtain, more and more!

"Hey, what are you going to do?"

"No, whatever you want, just live. Also, if it's a name, forget it, it's so troublesome, whatever you want. "The beggar has become like this since he put on the mask of laziness.

Before, the beggar in the City of Apprentices was just a short human, but since he became a beggar, he has been like this, and he has always maintained this immortal appearance, and now he is even more lazy to live, too lazy to die, unwilling to change, not wanting to move, relying on the acolytes who reproduce themselves to act. Utterly wasted, but unexpectedly suited, this yellow mask of laziness.

The two men with golden masks and yellow masks and a group of dark shadow attendants are very eye-catching, and several defenders have noticed the abnormal movement, and they walked to this side with a blunt sword in one hand: "Hey ...... over there"

The voice suddenly stopped, breathing became difficult, the hand holding the sword became weak, the eyes gradually blurred, and the last visual afterimage ...... That's right, it's the golden mask, the all-encompassing smile.

The greedy merchant, who had made contact by tapping it, laughed happily: "Thank you very much! ”

Greed has given him an infinite ability to absorb, but it seems to be limited to energy, such as life energy with degraded vitality, or light energy. Theoretically, there is some small invincibility, and he is very restrained in both melee combat and spellcasting, but it is not impossible to fight, such as higher energy, or the ability to cause damage if it exists, and the accumulation of energy is not entirely good, and his absorption capacity is also capped, depending on the void.

But in any case, in terms of initial ability alone, greed is the best.

"The feeling of gaining life...... Great!"

The greedy merchant used to be a virtuous man, but now, he just wants to get it.

......

Pastors can be roughly divided into two or three groups.

Led by a certain leader, the Follower Priest and the Red Iron Knight who knew through his two Nine Rings already knew something about what was going on in the town, but for now, his decision was to let it go. Pastors are still religious, but this is not the time for faith alone.

Is the incompetent man really the servant that God needs, at least he doesn't think so, because a devout faith can save him from many punishments, he can keep his position, and he can suppress those who are talented but not so strong in their faith? Those who are foolish will only lead to the rebellion of God's people.

That being said, in addition to true red, other gods, such as dark blue, are also in a similar situation, and the forbearance of the evil gods and the abundance of the gods make the servants forget their place. What can the people of God who can't accept this oppression? These are the evil gods who are waiting for this......

"I should serve God, and those who are disqualified should quit the stage. ”

On the other hand, there are the so-called conservative and conservative factions dominated by other bishops and so on. Needless to say, the inertia of history is so much that it makes no difference. At this time, it is nothing more than pleasure, and the evil gods are not valued, and the glory of true red is supreme...... True red can indeed crush evil gods like the Hustle and Blamor and the Gate of Silence, but you priests, at best, are called stewards, but at worst, you are just shepherds' lackeys, who gives the confidence to ignore evil gods? Well, I can only say that the stupidity of some human beings is beyond imagination.

"Just rats in the ditch, our clergy will lead the knights to defeat them!

A pot-bellied priest laughed uncontrollably, don't believe it, this guy's faith is beyond imagination, and he is stupid and understands that this is his dependence, but he doesn't seem to understand that reliance is not his own thing.

A certain priest's apprentice was smiling flatteringly, slapping his ass madly: "The glory of God is supreme, and the divine power of the priest shines on the whole earth!"

The details will only be more complicated, those languages are beyond my imagination, and I still retain this innocence when I am online!

When night fell, the old priest was still full of energy with the support of magic and divine power, watching the three of them walk into a room The apprentice was full of resentment but did not dare to show it, even if most of the attention was in his arms, the chief priest was the chief priest, and his perception was far beyond ordinary people, and he didn't know if his resentment had been detected.

"That guy, the blessing magic is already so blatant, can't you bless us guys too?"

The apprentice who was already super deficient looked at his peers weakly, well, the kind of people who were like him, relying on the priest's brother or something to mix with a low-level priest and a priest's apprentice, but they were much better than super kidney deficiency, at least, at least they still had a good ...... Usable kidneys!

Faced with the invitation to fight in bed, the apprentice covered his kidney with hidden bitterness, looked at the lady who surpassed the widow level, and reluctantly refused: "No, I still have something to do today......

"Hahaha, then you can get busy first. ”

Ridicule, absolute ridicule!

The priest's apprentice walked with a hideous face, and the color jade mask sensed the malice that originated from the color jade, although it was not worn on the face, but it had already established a connection, just waiting for the other party to return to the mask.

......

The Demon Hunter walked into the town as usual, wearing light armor with two swords on his back, just like a warrior a hundred years ago.

"It unssures me here, and the roar of danger is like facing the arrival of an evil god...... However, it is not surprising that an evil god has descended here. ”

Karotkas looked ahead, the flowers were flying, the green trees were shady, the sun covered almost everywhere, the red and gold elements were very abundant, worthy of the town of flowers under the real red seat, and the fame was better than the holy city of true red. Grave

"Six more days, it will be the holy day of the true red, will the evil god come at this time?"

The demon hunters had almost confirmed the situation here, and by intuition and analysis, they were much better than those who were on a vegetarian diet...... Well, I'm a big fan of the term corpse vegetarian meal.

"There seems to be something wrong with the reaction on the mask...... Hmmm......"

The Demon Hunter began to hesitate, as if he felt he needed to make his way to the City of Apprentices as soon as possible...... But the interest of the demon hunters ...... Ahem, where the responsibility lies, this situation doesn't matter!

Carrot put down the mask in an instant, and sure enough, he still can't ignore this kind of thing!

"Let me see the story of this town. "The Demon Hunter has traveled through many towns and cities over many periods, and has seen all sorts of simple monsters or complex stories, and this has become a kind of interest or habit, so that he can ensure his vitality, and he cannot last for hundreds of years with a sense of duty.

In order to maintain the humanity of the demon hunter, Karot has been doing this for a long time.

"Well, the mask is a clue, I heard about the new Little Snake Church near Heiluo Town, maybe it will be useful, the funny of the new forces is doomed, and the town of flowers is not harmonious, I heard about the information of an organization or individual such as an arsonist or silent walker who has been accumulating for years. ”

The Demon Hunter turned over the years of information from his brain, and most importantly, he had never heard of the situation at all, and the situation here was complicated. Church knights and night watchmen will handle most things, however, lack of strength, and unwilling to let overseers or demon hunters and the like interfere, theoretically don't mind private commissions, but the threatening little eyes and unceremonious blockage, can only say, don't wait, leave!

Demon hunters are not welcomed, the rustic attitude when they take on the mission, the ruthless and cold attitude after the mutation, coupled with the stupidity of faith, well, I can't say it, I can only say that faith will make people ignore it. In short, the Demon Hunters are left to investigate on their own.

"We're almost eliminated. But no, not yet. ”

Carrot spent the night in a tavern with a pink lantern that had not yet been lit, putting the various packages aside, and the sword within reach. It's too dangerous here, whether it's the hidden cultists or the True Red Priests, and some radical priests will even attack the Demon Hunters directly. And a demon hunter who has lost his sword is like a white wolf who has lost its fangs, and death is doomed. So you can't relax, even if it's a legendary hunter, the legend is more fragile than you think.

"Do you wear a mask? No, it's better not to do that, I still have an ominous premonition. ”

Karot pondered all sorts of dark arts, and demon hunters hated magic, and all they learned was the simplified quick-attack spell of the Seal. But knowledge doesn't say no, there are a lot of curses and the like that are done simply or inadvertently, and it takes enough knowledge to break them. A barbarian who can only fight with a sword is not qualified for this profession, and he is only selected to be quickly disabled and retire or simply die.

"Anyway. Carrot repacked his bags: "Let's go and listen to what's going on nearby." The connection between the masks is also unclear. Well, interesting. ”

The furious red mask flashed red, but he didn't notice the hollowness of the demon hunter, so he could only dim helplessly.

The heart is like a stone.

Demon hunters who have tried their armor go out to find out what is going on and see if they can get some of the guys who send them to their door. He was still very eye-catching with the sword on his back, at least the eyes of those knights and the like, which the demon hunters directly ignored, were just the eyes of a group of children.

Soon after, though, some wind was heard.

"Well, something strange has happened in the conventional aristocratic district, and many people, whether they are nobles and celebrities or some knights, have died, and there are traces of gnawing? ”

"Some kind of corpse-eating creature? Seems to have intelligence. ”

Carrot silently added to the agenda and thought about another thing:

"The sewers seem dangerous. Relative slums seem to have similar rumors, snake ...... Little Snake Church?"

"The arsonist hasn't been heard from for a while. But I haven't heard anything else. ”

"It seems that I have also heard of another organization, the Obscure Moon Retreat...... It's very hidden, though, and nothing has been heard of. ”

"Relatively speaking, the companions of the moon are not so hidden, the slum has faintly heard of the huge movement, but it seems that there is no one, the inspiration is higher, you have to check it. ”

The demon hunter listened to the information in the wind, and the progress in peeling off the cocoon surpassed those knights who searched on the spot, and his ability was superior.

The demon hunter thought about it, whether it was that huge movement, the danger of the sewers, or the murder in the aristocratic district, there was something going on!

"It's a bit busy, the clues are time-limited, and the clues that have expired won't work...... The sewers and the slums may have been moving for some time, but the clues to the noble district will soon be destroyed by the group of explorators. It's better to say that there isn't much left right now. ”

"Carrot, you look like you need help!"

The Demon Hunter's expression froze, and then he showed a rare and extremely subtle smile, which was honestly not good-looking, a little stiff, but still a rare smile.

"Aka, are you here?"

The smile of the girl named Aka narrowed for a moment, and turned serious: "I have followed a clue, an ancient creature, the Enchantress of the Moon......"

Kaka and Aka found a garden and sat down, whispering about their experiences. Aka was a time when Kaka received an extremely dangerous commission and chose a reward from it. However, tradition is powerful, and the connection between the two transcends blood, even giving rise to telepathy and fate entanglements between father and daughter, as in this case.

The clue of the Moon Witch Queen, which has not been seen for thousands of years, was unearthed by Acre and came to the Flower Town, but there is really a person here who has the blood of the Moon Witch!

The Demon Hunter left the Oak Forest of the Former Demon Forest and wandered around, but just as he turned to the vicinity, he happened to pass through the Flower Town after obtaining the Fury Mask...... Is there such a coincidence?

Yes, that's the coincidence!

Kaka, who learned of the situation, directly decided: "Then, Aka, you go to the slum to investigate, and I will go and see the homicide case in the aristocratic district......"

Acre: "Where's the sewer?"

"Don't go. At least be more prepared, because I have a bad feeling there. ”

Aka was a little dissatisfied, and it seemed that he still wanted to live (make) and leap (die) a little, but at least he still listened to Papa's words: "Okay." Do you need help? I've made a lot of friends!"

“...... No need. Karotkas hesitated, but declined, "This should have been our mission, but we can try to find the help of mages and other demon hunters." ”

"Okay......"

After the two demon hunters left, on the bench on the other side of the garden, the masked man stood up, his staff of civilization in one hand lightly touched the ground, and walked slowly and lazily.

"Hehe, rage to track down gluttony and jealousy, greed and laziness alliance is also an option, arrogance is mine, Seyu is okay. ”

"But what I didn't expect was that it was so messy here. ”

The empty clone of the arrogant star spell tapped the ground and drew a circle at random: "Star Witch is also here, it's a pity, it's too chaotic here, if it's somewhere else, maybe there will be a chance." ”

"Well, I'll help him, and I'll help him with the establishment of the Hollow Son. ”

"By the way, I'm arrogant and a ritual authority, should I do something......"

The voice drifted away, the mask disappeared into the void, and the arrogance of the staff in a formal suit faded into the light.

The distant voice finally fell into his hand.

"Oh, I see, that's it!"

Hoshiki squatted on the top of a bell tower, capturing the message in the wind, the hunter didn't collect information, he only needed to get the information that others had already obtained, so he who knew the most at the moment was the one who came the latest.

"Plunder! Hunt!"

"Whether it's the Three Sects of the Church, the Masquerade Ceremony, the Church of the Little Serpent, the Hustle and Even the Gate of Death, the Hermitage of the Star Witch, the Arsonist, and the Green Scales. ”

The order in which Hoshikari speaks is characteristic, and this is where he thinks about the importance and success rate and the impact on the future.

"There is no doubt that the Star Serpent, which we don't know, must have done something, and the truth does not do anything useless. ”

"I'll go look for it, forget the mask, forget the retreat. ”

Hoshikari made up his mind a little and decided to track down the snake factor.

"But ......" Xing Hunt hesitated for a moment, decided to learn the idea of not putting eggs in one basket, and threw out four baby balls: "Black Thunder, Rat King, Earth Hang, Jackdaw, please." ”

The small black long-eared beast with electric light, the mouse, the recluse, and the small crow, four stealthy scouting pets were released, scattered to scout for various places where movement might occur, and the hunter himself began to track down the "smell" of the snake.

"Huh?"

Hoshikari twitched his nose unbelievingly, and began to catch the pheromone flavor further, and then looked desperate: "What about the Ouroboro......s smell? Oh! He's a bit of a high-level being, and it's normal that he can't enter the non-native world, probably. ”

"So is it really a simple church? What magic can He give? What an embarrassing question......

What realm does the Ouroboros have? Is it probably an immortal, extremely small snake, and what kind of combat power does it have? It doesn't seem to have ......

“...... I think I'll have to retract what I said and change the order of the rankings. ”

The hunter was desperate, feeling that his sister was about to be hopeless, and the first chance to be a passerby to pick up the loot left by Chloe was a passerby, and this time he still didn't carry out any research with real combat effectiveness to participate in the things here, which is very bad!

"Forget it, the opportunity was given by the eldest brother, and I don't need to think about it. ”

Hoshikari jumped into the sewers, his eyes flickering and lit up the darkness around him and the potholes in the walls, as well as the trail of slippery slime that had almost disappeared from the ground.

"Traces of snake swimming, in such places. It's big, it's a snake-tailed man. ”

"There's no doubt about what Green Scales look like here. Let's withdraw it. ”

Hoshikari was a little stunned, he was not ready to face the evil god directly, and there was no way to prepare, so it was wiser to stop exploring. In addition, the Hunter has never been a class suitable for confronting evil gods, and it is better to be a mage...... It's either crazy or it's against the sky.

So, what to do...... The evil god, even though it is the evil god here, is not something that the current hunters can face directly.

All I could do was hunt. But there is no way to hunt.

"Ah, it looks like I'm here early, too. ”

The hunter scratched his head hesitantly, but since he had fallen into the trap, he could only hold on, hold on, and survive the face of the gods at least four times. This probably requires, um, I think, the contamination of information......

"What do I usually do, and what do I usually do when I can't do it on my own?"

Xing Hunt thought about it, in the face of the rapid self-healing that he couldn't do, he plundered the energy of nature; in the face of his own self who couldn't be alone, he plundered his pet, no, it's not so much a pet as something, well, in short, it's probably not a pet; in the face of some of his own confusion, he plundered Star Jade's opinions and the experience of demon hunters; in the face of information acquisition that he is not good at or is afraid of encountering irresistible factors, he chooses to plunder other people's information, which is still dangerous, but it still works here......

"All along, what I couldn't do was by plundering other things, and that's how it should be. ”

Dependence, something else, maybe, this is my way probably, I need a reliance, a person that allows me to do everything I can't rely on.

"Cut, how can it exist! I'm so strong, and I still have so many things that I'm not good at, how can I do it without the help of other gods of the old days, all the gods of the old days, and unify all the paths. ”

Hoshikari himself gave up on his own salvation, or arrogance and greed made him give up the decision to find a random one to rely on.

The people who need it most will not trust anyone.

But it doesn't matter. Hoshikari smiled indifferently, although he couldn't see the smile, but he was right to laugh.

"Uh-huh, let's go find Kaka, I have the potential of my father-in-law!"

A shadow slowly disappears from the sewer, and another slowly emerges. More eyes converged and spread.

The sewer has long been one of the focuses of attention, and Hoshikari has also noticed it, but this will lead to violent fluctuations in information, which may be advantageous, may be unfavorable, may be problematic, or may not.
