Chapter 66: Edward Arrives
The sky is covered with dark clouds, and the bustling city lights up the night, and the small noise can be heard from afar.
Like the other major cities of the Empire, Cato was divided into an inner city and an outer city, and the inner city was the area that was brightly lit.
The outer city, on the other hand, is a large dark area with a few torches scattered around the inner city.
The towering walls separate the inner city from the outer city, separating each other like heaven and hell.
In the dark area, there is terror in the silence, people sleep, or force themselves to sleep, and the sound of insects is the sign of this dark area.
In the whole dark area, only where the torches are burning, there are still human voices.
It was a sanctuary for some gangs in the outer city.
In the torch-lit reserve, people gather to drink the bitter taste of inferior ale and tell the story of today's suffering.
Quite a few sturdy men gathered in a circle, playing cards and betting on dice was one of their peculiar ways of spending a boring night.
Scantily clad industrious warblers roamed the chaotic area, looking at the shirtless men and speculating on the thickness of their wallets.
They are looking for their prey, and the long nights are the time for them to harvest money and feed themselves.
In the alleyway not far from a protected area, a golden curtain of light flashed.
A young boy in a white robe, just like this, suddenly appeared in this dark alleyway where his fingers could not be seen.
A pure white ball of light suddenly lit up, illuminating the darkness, and the young priest looked left and right with his cane.
That's right, it was the one who was on world patrol here, Edward, the archbishop of the ancient Asian god cult Fiogana.
The Eye of Heaven flew up from the top of Edward's head, accompanied by a sound of "recording", and the Eye of Heaven blurred for a while, and disappeared.
Stealth ability, this is one of the protection mechanisms of the Sky Eye, with the magic change of the assistant officer, the Sky Eye and even Edward, who is the user, if he doesn't pay special attention!
Edward sniffed the air lightly, and the next moment Edward frowned, the air in this area was filled with the smell of stinky ditches, which was very unpleasant.
However, after all, Edward was a character who had experienced the stench of Saduon, and the stench in the alleyways was actually within the tolerable range for Edward.
What really made him frown was that Edward found that he felt uncomfortable in his heart for the world in front of him for no reason!
It's as if something bad exists in the world.
This deep discomfort made Edward understand that he had probably won the lottery, and that there was a problem in this new world right now!
Edward closed his eyes, feeling the discomfort in his heart.
Starting from Edward himself, in the southeast direction of Edward, about two or three thousand meters away, there was something that made Edward uncomfortable.
Opening his eyes, Edward took a deep look at the golden city in the distance, then shook his head slightly, and turned to walk southeast.
The low houses on both sides gave Edward a glimpse of the southeast, and the area was illuminated by burning torches.
However, just as Edward raised his leg and was about to walk over there, the ball of holy light suspended by Edward's side suddenly went out, and Edward was stunned when he returned to the darkness again.
Edward's light ball was released for illumination, and according to Edward's habits, this ball of light could last for half an hour.
But now, it doesn't seem like even five minutes have passed, right?
Could it be that I miscalculated? Edward snapped his fingers a little unconvinced, and another fist-sized ball of holy light lit up in front of Edward.
Edward didn't leave, he just stood there and stared at the Holy Light Ball in front of him, Edward didn't plan to go anywhere until he figured out why the Holy Light Ball went out so quickly!
Then, something happened to Edward's surprise.
This time, Edward was sure that the ball of light he released was enough to sustain the light for half an hour, but in just over three minutes, the new ball of light went out.
"The consumption rate of holy power is too fast!" Edward was shocked, and when he realized that something was wrong, he immediately turned his head to look at the Divine Providence Ball on his shoulder.
In keeping with Edward's wishes, the Orb of Divine Consciousness revealed new words.
【Ding! Planetary coordinates searching——]
[Retrieval completed, Fiogana star zone coordinates 12714.315.1616, planet code "Kalam.] According to the library, the Mystic Side of the planet Kalam is located in an area with low power. 】
【Ding! The assistant officer searched and found that there was an unknown interference source on this planet, and the conventional mysterious side power was seriously restricted. 】
Unknown interferer? Edward frowned immediately, and at this time he also noticed something wrong with him.
Edward found that the recovery rate of his holy power was amazingly slow!
The holy power required for the two holy light balls, according to Edward's normal situation, can't even be said to be consumed, after being released, it only takes a few seconds for the holy power in Edward's body to be replenished again.
But now it's different, it seems to be affected by something unknown, the holy power in Edward's body has not been filled up after more than ten minutes have passed, and the holy power used by the first holy light ball has not been replenished!
Edward knew his own peculiarity, so after Edward's analysis and inference, Edward was surprised to find out.
If several priests in the Ancient Ya Divine Cult descend into this world, they will face the embarrassing situation that the used holy power will not be restored at all!
Just as Edward frowned, a shadow that made Edward feel a strong sense of discomfort entered Edward's perception, and Edward was slightly stunned, and immediately turned his head to look behind him.
In the dark alleyway behind Edward, a teenager hurried forward with his head bowed, a dark red scythe in his hand exuding an extremely thick ominous aura.
Filth and darkness are a force that leads to depravity.
Edward's brow furrowed, this force made him very uncomfortable, and naturally Edward lifted the silver cane in his hand, and a faint silver light appeared on Edward's cane, barely illuminating the surrounding environment.
Edward looked at the young man who was hurrying in front of him expressionlessly, his heart was confused, in Edward's perception, the young man in front of him brought discomfort to Edward, but the boy himself Edward could not rise the slightest disgust, but it was better to say that Edward liked the soul of the young man in front of him.
The boy in front of him has a pure soul, strong and beautiful.
Edward and the boy got closer and closer, and the light of the cane in Edward's hand became brighter and brighter.
When the distance between the two sides was only three steps, the young man with the ominous scythe suddenly raised his head, and his dark blue eyes met Edward's.
“……”
The boy shook his head and walked briskly past Edward.
Well? Did I let you go?
Edward, who was still surrounded by discomfort, narrowed his eyes, turned to look at the young man who was leaving in a hurry, and said loudly, "Wait! You can go, but you have to leave that scythe in your hand, it's ominous and dangerous. You shouldn't be holding it. ”
Edward's clear voice made the young man's figure pause slightly, and then under Edward's stunned gaze, the young man with the scythe ran violently.
In the blink of an eye, the boy disappeared around the corner of the alleyway.
Hey? How did you run away? Why did you run away like this?!
Edward blinked, and for a moment he was a little confused.
When Edward shouted to stop him, Edward was ready to fight.
The boy himself didn't give Edward the slightest sense of threat, but the dark red scythe in the boy's hand gave Edward an extremely dangerous feeling!
That scythe was a living thing, a terrifying creature that could burst out and hurt at any moment!
