Volume 1 Harlem Chapter 16 The Relentless Flame

The little finger is lightly hooked, and the hook is nodding. Ivan and the others hid according to their words to see what this Da Keer wanted to do.

The footsteps in the firelight got closer and closer, the flames fluttered, and three people came out of the flames. The first one had dark skin, long fiery red hair, pointed ears, and two horns on the top of his head, like a demon; The demon was shirtless, wearing only a ragtag skirt, and his expression was fierce and arrogant. The two men behind the demon behaved respectfully, and they looked at the demons' men.

The demon flashed up to Da Ke'er and muttered something to her, but she heard Da Ke'er say aloud, "Mondstadt, it looks like you're angry. But, the stranger, I didn't find it. ”

The demon named Mondstadt roared, and the red hair on his head moved in the wind like a burning flame. Seeing that Mondstadt seemed to be in trouble, Da Keer lifted her skirt and explained softly, "I need more time. Dark City, too big, too complicated. ”

Mondstadt pinched his chin and thought for a few moments, but without speaking, beckoned his men and walked away.

It's inexplicable to come, and it's inexplicable to go. Before Ivan could figure it out, Mondstadt had disappeared. When the four of them came out, Ivan couldn't bear the doubts in his heart, so he asked, "Who is that person?" ”

Da Ke'er looked in the direction of Mondstadt's disappearance, smiled helplessly, and said, "Who is that person, you ask?" Name, Soul Keeper – Mondgrim. Da Keer, I can't beat it. ”

"Soul Keeper?" Ivan muttered quietly, perhaps already knowing some information about the enemy from this title.

Then I heard Da Keer say, "Lord Richard, you have ordered a sweep. Lord Mondstadt, I have commanded. Da Keer, dragged over. Dark City is a garbage dump, and there is too much garbage hidden to be removed. ”

Yun Ye saw that this lovely girl was garbage and cleaned up one by one, and she seemed to sigh and be annoyed in her heart. But before she could do so, Da Ke'er continued, "Lord Mondstadt, I know you. Hearing your news, I arrived in the Dark City earlier than expected. If I catch you, Lord Richard, I'll compliment. But Da Keer didn't have that idea. ”

"Can I ask a few questions first?" Ivan heard the hidden message in Da Keer's words.

"Hmm!" Da Keer tilted her head and nodded.

Ivan straightened out his thoughts and asked, "One, why do you people from the Cultivator Sect know about me, or do some people know me?" If you know me or know me, do you know me or the four of us? ”

Da Keer blinked her lovely eyelashes and said playfully, "You, defeated Gragul, and Luke, we have, your portrait." Only, you're one. Other, no! She seemed to inhale smoke as she spoke, and after she finished speaking, she patted her chest and coughed a few times.

Ivan asked again: "What are you doing with me?" ”

Da Ke'er thought about it again and again, shook her head, and replied, "I don't know! She patted her dress on the smoke and asked, "Why are you here?" Are you here to take away the garbage? ”

Yun Ye seemed to be very dissatisfied with the title of 'garbage', and shouted urgently: "They are also people, and they are also people like us. Even if you are born differently, even if your fate is different, you shouldn't treat them like this! ”

Da Keer doesn't like to argue with people, but just tells the truth: "You want to save them? I don't understand. What's the use of garbage that can't even do magic? ”

"Is it true that in your eyes, only useful people, only people who can do magic, are qualified to be human beings, and only those who are qualified to live?" Yun Ye looked angry and roared hysterically.

"Isn't it?" Da Ke'er's face was full of doubts, she didn't understand why this person was so angry, if it wasn't for the fact that it was still useful, she would have done it a long time ago. She has always been instilled with the idea that only those who are capable are qualified to live; The rest, that doesn't call people, "You guys, that's weird." If you like garbage, whatever. Da Keer will not stop you. However, a transaction is required. ”

"Deal? What to trade, how to trade. Ivan pondered Dakor's thoughts.

"I'll not talk about the content of the transaction." Da Ke'er looked at the growing fire, and her expression seemed to be anxious, "Now, I can't say yet. But now, let's act as if we haven't seen each other. Isn't that convenient for your actions? ”

Ivan wanted to ask again. But Nada Keer turned the flower umbrella and carried the skirt and walked away lightly.

Mock still didn't know what to do now, so he asked Ivan, "Captain, what should I do?" ”

"Save people first, how much can you save."

The fire grew louder and louder, and the screams around him grew louder and louder. The waves of fire were fierce, and half of the dark city was already burning.

The four Ivan searched for survivors in the waves of fire, digging out those who still had a breath in the rubble. The wounded were gathering more and more, and Ivan didn't dare to call Tillan for treatment anymore, for fear that if something happened, it would be difficult to do it without magic. The alchemy potion on the four of them was rapidly consumed, and when they found a collapsed building, they saw corpses all over the ground.

The dead were either burned alive or had their throats cut with sharp weapons, and their deaths were horrific. Suddenly, the pile of corpses shook, and out of the pile of corpses crawled out of a living person. This living man was none other than the old slave who was looking for his son.

The old slave was covered in stinking mud, and it was difficult to recognize without looking closely. But the old slave was sharp-eyed, and when he saw Ivan, he ran over, and shouted: "Ah...... Hero...... Heroes......"

The old slave fell to the ground crying, hugged Ivan's leg and pleaded: "Hero, hero, save me, save my son......"

Ivan motioned, and Mock searched and searched among the corpses, brought up the corpse of a child, and shook his head at Ivan.

The old slave wept bitterly: "Mine, my son...... What's going on, what's going on? In order to find us who were hiding, the adults of the Cultivator sect actually lit a fire and detonated bombs around us. ”

Ivan was silent, not knowing how to answer. Thinking about it, the death of these people also has a certain relationship with them. He sighed a few times and looked at the half of the burned corpse in Mock's hand, unable to save it.

"Sure enough...... Sure enough, the slaves who run away will be punished...... "The old slave clenched his fists and secretly hated: hated himself as a slave, hated those who killed his son, hated fate, and hated Ivan for leaving them alone.

The sky was red by the firelight, and the screams were endless.

"Spare me, spare me...... I was wrong, I was wrong......" There was a voice begging for mercy in the distance, but in exchange for a scream.

Ivan didn't dare to hold it up, and if he hesitated, he was afraid that the person he rescued now would not be able to save it. He picked up the old slave on the ground, led the rescued people, and beckoned the three of Mok to rush out of the dark city.

The way out is not easy, not only to prevent those collapsed buildings, but also to protect the slaves around you. When I came out of the dark city, there was a fire behind me, but I heard a familiar shout: "Adventurer, adventurer...... Where are you? ”

The crowd followed the sound and found Pai, Cobb, Ari, and Sebeline.

Pai was apprehensive and worried, "So it's here." After waiting for a long time, we saw that there was a fire on this side, so we came to look for you. ”

When Ari saw this group of miserable slaves, he couldn't help but ask, "Master, what's the matter?" When we came, we saw a lot of slaves running out. ”

Ivan sighed, not wanting to speak. Seeing that Ivan was not looking good, Tillan explained what had happened.

"You're saying that the cultivators are killing people hiding in the dark city?" Pai was shocked when he heard this, "Aren't the slaves you rescued in there?" ”

Mock sighed, "yes...... Hey......"

Cobb just nodded, "Huh...... Really. It seems that even the Dark City is going to be completely cleared of the Cultivators......"

Ivan felt a little powerless, but at this time the situation was no longer happy for God to protect these slaves, so he said to the slaves: "You have also seen the current situation, it is dangerous to follow us again. Run away, get out of here, maybe there is a glimmer of life! ”

The slaves were also very knowledgeable, and after thanking Ivan and the others, they ran away; The old slaves in the slave herd looked at Ivan deeply, as if to take him to heart. The slaves were gone, and in a few breaths they were gone.

Ivan and his party discussed how to deal with the current situation. But Pai asked, "Sebeline, how did you know about the plans of the Cultivators?" ”

"Hehe, what the cultivators can do, you can guess with your eyes closed." Sebeline looked arrogant.

Pai said curiously, "That's weird. No matter how cruel the Cultivators were, they had never slaughtered slaves like this. Is something going on? ”

"Master, didn't they say that? Richard ordered the garbage to be removed. "Ari doesn't know why this Pai hasn't figured it out yet.

"No, think about it." Pai analyzed, "I didn't clear it before, I didn't clear it later, but I cleared it at this time. ”

"It may be that there are too many slaves, and the cultivators can't look at it." Ari argued.

Ivan frowned, lowered his head in contemplation, and said, "It's quite strange to say that. Even if it were to be cleared, it wouldn't be as fanfare as it would be. I wonder if there's something hidden behind this clearance? ”

Everyone analyzed it for a long time, but they didn't come up with a reason. But at this time, Pai Yi was very worried about the escaped slaves, "Adventurers, all the escapees from the dark city can't go to the black market, and it will be even worse if they are intercepted by the cultivators. It seems that we have to stop the cultivators in this dark city first. ”

Ivan wondered if he should catch Mondstadt or not, and after listening to Py's words, he happily agreed.

Pai still wanted to know some details, so he asked, "Adventurer, do you know who is leading the way?" ”

"A guy named Mondstadgreen." Ivan, however, deliberately omitted Da Keer.

"Huh? You're talking about Mondstadgreen? Pai reconfirmed. Seeing Ivan nodding, he couldn't help frowning.

But when Na Sebeline heard this, she cried out, "Ahaha, Mondstadglin! That guy! That damn guy! Run, run! If you don't want to be burned to death, run away! ”

Except for Pai, the rest of the people were shocked, wondering how this Sebeline could have such a big reaction.

I only heard Pai explain, "I've heard of this guy too. This man is said to be very good at fire magic, and some even say that he devoured the fire demon. If this is really the case, it must be possible to burn down the entire dark city. ”

Pai Yi paused, still wanting to save the people in the dark city, and couldn't help but say eagerly: "Let's hurry up!" We must not let everyone die here! ”

Ivan wanted to arrest Namond Green, asked for clarification, and took the lead in agreeing. Cobb was afraid, but seeing that it was Pai's idea, he had to agree.

Only Sebeline scolded and muttered, "You crazy girl, crazy girl, you will kill you...... and everyone ignored her. Sebeline had no choice but to agree.

The fire behind him was fierce, and the heat wave was gusting. The flames roared like a fiery red beast in the sky, devouring the city and the people inside.
