82. The Voyeur's Eye
At the staircase passage connecting the first and second floors of the ruins, Su Yan met Jike, Belsen, and the elite of the church they brought without warning.
This unexpected situation made Su Yan aware of some problems.
His eyes couldn't help but focus on Belson's body.
It would be more accurate to say that it was the faint light emitted from Belson's body - maybe ordinary people can't see it clearly, and they can't see it, but Su Yan will definitely not be included among these people.
A milky white halo that seemed faint but actually had considerable intensity shrouded the body of the group of church personnel in front of Su Yan. It was the shrouding of these halos that made Su Yan's perceptual ability completely effective: in fact, if it wasn't for Su Yan's own eyes, these church personnel in front of him would be completely equivalent to invisible people.
This made Su Yan fully aware that there were many strange forces in this world that he could not understand.
The one in front of you is undoubtedly one of them.
The effect is naturally very simple and easy to understand: masking perception.
I just don't know if it's to block the perception from the undead and demons, or if it can block any form of sensory exploration.
Compared with Su Yan's surprise, Jike and Belson's hearts were also surprised.
They couldn't imagine that there were still people alive in this ruin, at least when they heard Susan and Chloe's words, they didn't think there were anyone alive in this ruin. Whether it was the two people sent by the Adventurer Guild to reinforce later, or Su Yan, a strong man invited by the Mercenary Guild, in their opinion, they must have died a long time ago under the pursuit of that demon king.
Especially when they first entered this ruin, the explosion they encountered that even caused the entire ruin space to shake and unstable made the two of them even more convinced.
Therefore, when they saw Su Yan here, they were naturally very shocked.
However, this shock, the two did not show it.
"Who are you?" Jike stretched out his hand to stop Su Yan, and the two sides kept a distance of about thirty meters.
"I'm Levi, hired by the Mercenary Guild to rescue the expedition trapped in the ruins." Su Yan opened his mouth and said, and at the same time, in order to increase his credibility, he also took out the platinum nameplate, "This is my nameplate." ”
"Well, we did get reports about it before we got here." Ji Ke said in a deep voice, his personality destined his attitude to be impossible to be enthusiastic, and it was already a very face-saving thing to be able to answer, "But I heard that there are two senior adventurers of the Adventurer Guild?" ”
Su Yan showed a helpless wry smile: "I'm really sorry, I haven't seen these two adventurers from the Adventurer Guild. In fact, it was a fluke that I was able to survive, so I couldn't find these two veteran adventurers at all. ”
At this point, Su Yan is not entirely joking.
He had been cornered by O'Hara until he activated the Magic Sword. Zahath's Blade], only to use the "Demon Buster" in it to severely damage O'Hara.
Of course, another fact is that Su Yan really hadn't met the other two adventurers from the Adventurer's Guild.
He had planned to "borrow" the other's magic notes and the like from one of them, but he couldn't meet the other party, which was indeed a pity for him.
Jike glanced at Belson out of the corner of his eye without a trace, and then saw the latter nod his head in the slightest motion.
Although the two of them have a very tacit understanding, and the range of their movements is extremely small, almost imperceptible, this still can't hide Su Yan's keen attention.
His heart sank slightly.
The seven major churches on the continent of Azea were obviously more troublesome and troublesome than he had imagined.
Moreover, these seven churches do not have contradictions and disputes with each other as rumored by the outside world.
At the very least, these members of the special combat forces of the Seven Churches should be familiar with each other and cooperate with each other, otherwise it would be impossible to conduct a [true identification] of their own words without any communication.
In Su Yan's heart, vigilance has been raised to the highest, but his face is still silent.
"Looks like these two must have met with misfortune." Belson opened his mouth at the right time, his tone full of sadness, "Your Excellency Levy, I have a reluctant request, I don't know if I can ...... it"
"I can't." Su Yan said without hesitation.
"Uh......" Obviously, Belson didn't expect Su Yan to refuse so decisively, and didn't even wait for his words to finish.
Jike on the side frowned involuntarily.
"I'm in a hurry to find my daughter, and I hope you can understand." A look of anxiety appeared on Su Yan's face.
He knew that the young priest in front of him wearing a sacrificial robe similar to a long windbreaker had a special ability to detect and distinguish the authenticity of words, so Su Yan's words at this time were naturally the most genuine emotional outpouring in his heart.
This technique was one of the abilities he mastered during his military career.
"We can understand." Belson was really induced by Su Yan's true feelings, and couldn't help but nod and said, "But I can assure you that your daughter is very safe now." She's waiting for you to go back to the camp, so you don't need to worry, I'm sure Susan and Chloe will take care of her. ”
"Really?" Su Yan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "This is probably the best news I've heard these days." Everyone else, all right? ”
"It's fine." Belson knew who the others Su Yan was talking about.
"That's great."
Belson smiled and nodded, and then said, "Here's the thing, Mr. Levy. We've heard that you've escaped from the Demon King more than once, so we'd like to ask, what is your impression of the Demon King? Or is it any weakness or something? …… Your experience with the enemy is very important to us and will likely reduce our casualties. ”
Su Yan was keenly aware of the traps in the other party's words.
Smoothly?
He didn't believe that the elite members of the church in front of him, who specialized in crusading against all kinds of alien invaders, would not know what the Demon King represented.
And to be able to escape smoothly from the hands of such a powerful demon king, what kind of strength does this person have?
"I just got lucky." Su Yan shook his head, "But that demon king seems to have been seriously injured, and I don't know exactly what's going on." But if it's not seriously injured, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape from it. ”
Belson nodded, "I see." …… I've heard that the reason why it's chasing you is because you destroyed its greenhouse? ”
"Greenhouse?" Su Yan asked with some confusion.
This time, he really didn't know.
"The greenhouse is our way of saying it, a retreat for demons and demons, where they will build their own nests, and then when the time comes, they will summon their fellow aliens." "So once we found any trace of these ectopic creatures, our first goal was to investigate if there was a greenhouse. ”
"I see." Su Yan nodded slightly, indicating understanding, "That greenhouse shouldn't be as serious as you said, but there is the water of the Purgatory River." It was the place where the Demon King's injuries were repaired, and I had destroyed it with a little trick, and all the water of the River of Purgatory had turned to sand and stones. ”
"River of Purgatory!" Belson let out a cry of surprise, his eyes in disbelief.
"How can you be sure that this is the River of Purgatory?" Jike couldn't help but frown.
"Although I am a mercenary, it doesn't mean that I don't have much knowledge." Su Yan said in a deep voice, "I believe you should know about me in Akara City. So you should also know that I have a friend ......"
"Lord Arthas, right?" Belson spoke, "We at the Church of the Light are very grateful for your contribution while in the city of Akara. As for the rewards for you and Lord Arthas, our Seven Churches will later send them to you through the Mercenary Guild. …… Please don't shirk, this is the practice of our seven churches, and we will never be stingy with all the heroes who defend against the invasion of the world of Drolla. ”
When he saw Su Yan's expression, Belsen, who had already guessed the other party's thoughts, immediately opened his mouth to dissuade him.
Moreover, he also performed a knightly etiquette to Su Yan.
This made Su Yan have to swallow the words of resignation back into his stomach.
"Since the waters of the River of Purgatory have been destroyed by you, do you have any advice about the Demon King?" Belson asked again.
"Nope." Su Yan shook his head, "I don't know the strength of the demon king very well, the only thing I can know is that the other party is very seriously injured." So if you find each other, you must do your best, and you must not let it have the possibility of fighting back, otherwise...... I'm afraid there will be very heavy casualties. ”
"We get it, and thank you very much Mr. Levy for his valuable advice." Belson bowed gracefully again.
"It doesn't need to be so polite." Su Yan chuckled, "So, can I leave now?" ”
"Of course." Belson said with a smile as he moved out of the way.
After Su Yan nodded to Belson and Jike, he walked quickly.
He couldn't wait to get away from these church people right now.
But as soon as he had barely walked a short distance, Belson suddenly turned his head and said, "By the way, Mr. Levy, there is one more thing. ”
"What's the matter?" Su Yan subconsciously stopped.
"I need to do a routine check-up on you."
Belson had a very gentle smile on his face, but the moment Su Yan saw this smile, he felt a chill inexplicably. Then he was surprised to find that the position where he stopped at this time had instead put him in the encirclement of both the Church of War and the Church of Light.
This is what the other party has planned for a long time!
At this moment, Su Yan understood the other party's plan from the beginning.
From beginning to end, the other party never really trusted him at all. And the initial questioning was simply to let him relax his vigilance, and then let him enter the other party's encirclement by himself by giving way.
The next moment, Su Yan saw Belson's eyes glow with a burst of platinum-like luster.
That is the power unique to the Church of Light, the Eye of the Peeper!
When Belson unleashed this power, Su Yan had already guessed the result.
In fact, the other party's actions were indeed as Su Yan expected: "Undead creatures!" ”
"Boom!"
Almost as soon as Belson's words fell, Jike had already drawn his sword out of its sheath, and then rushed towards Su Yan.
The sword is powerful!
