56. Chaotic city
"Ah, what a nostalgic taste." The young man, who had Orn's exact appearance, was squinting at this time, revealing a look of enjoyment and intoxication.
It was a moment before he opened his eyes again: they were a pair of hideous eyes with vertical orange pupils.
Soon, though, when he closed his eyes again as if he realized something, and then opened them again, the horrible eyes had returned to their normal human form.
He glanced sideways at the people in the stone room who had already begun to fight, and once again took a deep breath with an intoxicated look.
Under the condition that the normal naked eye could not see, wisps of red and black entangled with each other and mist, he was sucked into his nose. At this moment, his skin glowed slightly with a strange red light, but in the blink of an eye, this strange situation completely disappeared.
The next moment, the existence that still maintained the appearance of Orn frowned, revealing a look similar to dissatisfaction: "It seems that the concentration is not enough." …… But it's okay, it will take at least two or three days to completely devour this human city, so let's take our time first. ”
"But why do you always feel like there's a familiar smell?" Frowning slightly, this Orn-like existence looked very puzzled.
But soon, his attention was drawn away again.
A man who appeared to be a mercenary suddenly lunged at a woman next to him. However, the mercenary seemed to be weakened by long-term hunger, so he failed to do any real damage to the lady, and was instead knocked to the ground by a punch.
It's just this action that obviously attracts the attention of the others around him.
Soon, these guys, who had lost their minds, began to launch a new round of siege against the lady.
"Damn it!" The lady let out a low cry, "We can't stay like this anymore. Are these guys all crazy? ”
"Lena, be careful, these guys seem to be really crazy!" Another voice sounded next to him, "Lunnes, Bonn, it's me, Stuhlson." Stop it! …… Damn, Lena, Lunnes and Bonn seem to have lost their minds too. We're going to lure it out. ”
"Thomas is unconscious, I can't hold it." The lady, Lena, gave a response.
"You protect Anna." The man who called himself Steulson shouted, "The only good thing these lunatics can do is to help us pry these goddamn chains." …… We have to get out of here now, and I feel like I'm starting to feel like I'm starting to feel wrong. ”
It was the conversations and actions of these two mercenaries that made the existence that slowly levitated in mid-air very interesting.
In his opinion, the strength of these two people is simply ridiculously fragile, at least he doesn't think these two people will be much stronger than ants.
He could crush them with just one finger if he wanted to.
Therefore, I feel a little interested in the fact that such two people can actually block their own mental pollution.
……
On the other side, when a black pillar of light broke through the ground and enveloped the entire city of Acala, the city was completely in chaos.
Then, soon there was bloodshed.
First of all, ordinary civilians, because they are the lowest level and do not have any ability to protect themselves, so after being hit by the impact of spiritual pollution, they are the first "sacrifices" to lose their minds in the city of Akara. And the chaos in the entire city of Akara was also the first to be detonated by this group of people.
When enough people die in a city, the power of mental pollution increases.
The weaker mercenaries and guards were the second group of infected sacrifices.
These people provided the most powerful impact on the entire sacrificial ritual.
If the chaos of the civilians is the spark of this ceremony, then these weaker mercenaries and guards become the firewood of the ceremony.
Many professional-level mercenaries and guards soon fell one after another, completely losing their minds.
The only ones who can still hold on are those masters whose strength has reached the master level or above.
But looking at their situation, it is clear that they can't hold out for long.
At this time, three figures were jumping quickly on the rooftop, heading towards the city center.
The huge chaos around them obviously didn't affect them in any way.
"Save ...... Help me......" There was a faint voice coming from inside the house.
It was across the roof from which the three men were running.
A window that had been pushed open revealed the face of a young man, who looked at the three people standing on the opposite roof, his eyes burst into light, and he hurriedly shouted. Beside him, there were two delicate-looking women, but at this moment, they looked particularly hideous: their eyes were red, their hair was scattered, and one of them had a lot of blood on his face.
Su Yan just glanced at it, and then continued to move forward without looking back.
Black Knight Byrons, naturally, will not hesitate in the slightest.
Only David hesitated for a few seconds, and then raised his hand to shoot two stones, shattering the heads of the two girls, and then he continued to follow Su Yan.
"This ...... What the hell is going on! David, who was walking quickly on the rooftop, could clearly see the chaos around him, and his face was incredulous.
"The ruby caravan wants to sacrifice the entire city." Su Yan said in a deep voice, the expression on his face was very solemn, "A sacrifice of this scale, whether it is to summon otherworldly creatures or to exchange for power, is by no means something that ordinary creatures can achieve. ”
"What do you mean?" David asked, a little uneasy.
"If it is an exchange for strength, as long as the sacrifice is over, then this power is enough to make an ordinary person with no strength become a high-ranking hero and powerhouse."
"What do you mean...... Our opponent is a heroic powerhouse who is not below you? David asked, "But, with the strength of the three of us now, it should be enough to handle it, right?" ”
"Have you ever wondered if the person who traded for power was a candidate? Or is it a hero? Su Yan turned his head and glanced at David before he spoke, "I heard that the Knight Captain of the Jinduo Family named Orn is at the candidate level. ”
David's face changed: "Beyond the hero level? Could it be...... Epic? ”
Su Yan glanced at David meaningfully.
If it was a normal time, then he might be a little interested in being able to extract information about the "epic" powerhouse from David's mouth at this time. But at this moment, even if Su Yan could already be sure that there was definitely at least one epic powerhouse in this world, or in the Tria Kingdom, there was nothing to be happy about in his heart.
"And that's not even the worst of it." Su Yan said softly, "What's really bad is not that the power is exchanged, but that the other party is summoning otherworldly creatures. ”
"What do you mean?" David couldn't react.
The lack of knowledge in this area makes it difficult for him to understand the current situation.
"It's not an ordinary existence to respond to a sacrificial ritual of this scale." Su Yan said in a deep voice, "The current situation is still in the stage of the ceremony. The strength of the other party should not be too strong. But once everyone in the entire city of Acala is dead, then the strength of the summoned otherworldly creatures will reach the normal standard. ”
"Normal standards?" David was keenly aware of what, "That is, it is possible for the other party to become stronger?" ”
"Then it depends on the existence of the response ritual, whether it is the power of projection or the power of the clone that descends." Su Yan opened his mouth and replied, "If it's just a projection of power, then the strength will not grow, but it will gain different strength depending on the situation of the sacrifice ceremony." But if it's the latter, then it's a big problem, the strength of the other party can continue to grow, and no one can be sure to what extent. ”
"In other words, we must now deal with each other before the people in this city die?"
"It's the easiest solution." Su Yan replied, "That's why I didn't choose to save anyone." Even if you throw hundreds of stones along the way, how many people can you save? Sooner or later, those people will be mentally polluted and lose their minds, and you are only speeding up the process of the sacrificial rites. ”
"This ......," Davy was a little speechless.
He always thought that he was at least doing good deeds, in line with the idea of saving a few if he could, after all, this was in line with his chivalry.
But now, it seems that he is doing something bad with good intentions?
This made David feel a little annoyed.
Ignoring David's emotions, Su Yan stared at the black pillar of light rising into the sky not far ahead, and his face looked extremely solemn.
In his heart, he had already greeted the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the Thieves Guild.
Previously, he used the [Soul Torture Technique] to torture the person in charge of the Thieves Guild, but he failed to obtain any valuable information from the other party, which naturally made Su Yan very unhappy.
However, in fact, it is impossible to blame the Thieves Guild for having no intelligence ability.
It's true that the Thieves' Guild has a strong intelligence ability, but for most of the information, unless it is found to be useful, it is impossible to investigate it in depth. So they only knew that Orn had joined the Golden Duo family of the current Duke of Guta a few years ago, and had become one of the chief knights of the Golden Duo family in a very short period of time, and he was completely like a loyal servant of the Golden Duo family.
As for what kind of person Orn was before joining the Golden Duo family, where he came from, and what his circle of friends and interpersonal relationships were, the Thieves Guild naturally wouldn't listen carefully. Unless they felt that Orn's information was worth further studying, then they might send someone to investigate in detail.
This is also the reason why the Thieves Guild is biased towards Su Yan's intelligence.
Su Yan's first appearance was in Northern Winter City's deal with the Thieves' Guild.
So when Su Yan appeared in Akara City, the Thieves Guild only paid attention to his intelligence and improved it slightly, after all, he was a potential customer. As for the more in-depth investigation, they naturally won't continue, after all, Akara City, as one of the four mercenary guilds in the north, is full of information that is more valuable than investigating Su Yan's intelligence work, so naturally it is impossible to spend too much time and energy on Su Yan.
However, if it was known from the beginning that Su Yan was a hero-level powerhouse, then the priority of intelligence would naturally be different.
This is also the reason why the Thieves Guild was deceived by the illusion that Su Yan showed from the beginning.
But Su Yan didn't know this.
But even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
In fact, even if the entire city of Akara was sacrificed, Su Yan would never frown.
The only thing he was really worried about was Anna.
If he hadn't known that Anna's physique was a bit special, and the spiritual pollution of this scale in front of him hadn't been able to make Anna lose her mind, Su Yan would probably have overturned the entire Akara City. But at this moment, feeling the power of the spiritual pollution in the city is getting stronger and stronger, Su Yan's heart is also tightened, he doesn't know how long Anna's elf blood can protect her from this pollution, but he knows that if he doesn't arrive as soon as possible, then things may become very complicated and troublesome.
He always felt that the sacrificial ceremony in front of him seemed a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
"You...... What's wrong? Sensing that Su Yan's face was becoming more and more solemn, David's heart became more and more uneasy, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"I see!" Su Yan let out an exclamation, "I remembered!" ”
"Know? What do you know? David looked dazed, "What do you remember?" ”
……
At the same time, in the underground stone chamber.
Lena and Stuelsen are struggling to break through.
It's just a hundred flat spaces, but they feel that this is a completely desperate path to death.
Hunger and thirst, coupled with the constant buzzing of their heads, made it very difficult for them.
Lunes is dead.
He tried to bite Lena's carotid artery, but was forced by Steulson to behead him with a sword.
Bonn was also seriously injured and fell into a coma, but he was afraid that he would not be able to live any longer, because several people who had also lost their minds were approaching him.
Lena was also injured in order to protect Anna and Thomas in a coma.
If it weren't for the shield-wielding guards in Steulson's profession who grabbed a plank to use as a shield, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to continue to hold on.
And the summoned being suspended in mid-air, his eyes were getting brighter and brighter.
"Half-elf! Hahaha! A half-elf! He let out a maniacal laugh, "It's just a half-elf, but the elven blood on his body is so rich and high-end!" Hahahaha! This is the great will from the abyss! It seems that the will of the abyss is watching over me! ”
