Chapter 42: The Dead God (Collect!) )
Ye Fang took the five old coins into his arms.
Chen smiled and said, "But I'm afraid this will have to wait until this special commission is completed." ”
Ye Fang nodded to indicate that he understood, he had been promoted to the first caste, and these days, he had been wandering around the safe zone of Night City, and he had actually learned a lot of information.
The vampires in the safe zone of Night City are a special force of beings, their abilities are obtained from dark creatures, namely curses, which are not powerful and can only make them extraordinary, but few can go one step further and reach the first caste.
In other words, these cursed vampires can only be extraordinary beings for almost their entire lives, and the Celestial Council is also very resistant to the attitude of vampires, only containing them but not caring about anything related to them. In the security zone, although the Celestial Council is not a state organization, it has a higher status, and it is actually difficult for anyone it denies to survive.
Becoming a vampire with the curse is an extraordinary achievement, but it is also costly. Whether this is a pro or a cons, I'm afraid only the vampires themselves can figure out.
Therefore, for Ye Fang, who had now reached the first caste, they were almost a threat, unless the family behind that Roger was the entire vampire clan of more than two hundred.
But that's not possible.
This is also the reason why Ye Fang is not so anxious about dealing with this matter for the time being.
At that moment, Ye Fang and Chen set off and went to the Tianli Sect.
Ye Fang noticed that when he went out, Chen also deliberately took the pendant of a god of drama placed in the right position and put it on his chest.
"Which god do you believe in?" Chen asked.
There is only one orthodox belief in the Eastern Continent, which is the seven gods, namely: drama, mechanism, acrobatics, magic, games, puppetry, and tuning.
Ye Fang often felt that these seven gods were simply a circus.
The City of the Night is dedicated to the god of drama, so the vast majority of people here are believers in the god of drama.
Ye Fang had no faith, but he knew that faith could not be said casually in this world, so he only smiled ambiguously and did not answer.
They made their way to the Celestial Council complex. With Chen as the guide, Ye Fang was able to get the relevant wooden plaques and materials from Teresa, and then, according to Teresa's instructions, they needed to go to the church to wait.
The janitor who guarded the church was no longer Wang Li, but a burly red-haired Caucasian today.
"That's James, the captain of the Second Guard of the Heavenly Council." Chen quietly introduced.
"How are the guards recruited?" Walking up the stairs, Ye Fang asked a question that he had been puzzled for a long time.
The ordinary people of the City of Night are in awe of the Heavenly Council and the gods, and rarely mention it, even if they ask, few people are willing to really say anything to Ye Fang, a foreigner, but Chen will undoubtedly be willing to answer, he secretly glanced at James who was standing as seriously as a log over there, and waited a little farther before saying: "I don't know this very well, it is said that they were all personally chosen by the Bishop, but as far as I know, although there are only five similar guards in the Heavenly Council, the captain of each guard is a real second caste......"
Ye Fang's eyes flashed slightly: "What about the bishop and the priest?" ”
"Well, hehe...... Chen's eyes rolled slightly, and he was about to speak, but the solemn church door in front of them was suddenly opened from the inside.
Father Randall stood there, staring sternly at the two of them.
Chen kept his mouth shut.
After entering the safe zone, this was the second time Ye Fang had seen this priest, he was still dressed in a black solemn robe, his lips were pursed, and his expression was stern.
He glanced at Chen, his eyes fell on Ye Fang, who was hiding his head and tail, and took a deep look at Ye Fang before slowly walking back.
There were already several people sitting in the church by this time.
The churches of the Heavenly Council are generally not open to accept ordinary people, and the people who appear here at this moment should be extraordinary people who have received special commissions.
Counting himself and Chen, there are already seven people, and there are still three people missing.
Chen pulled Ye Fang to sit down in the corner and whispered, "That's Father Randall." Don't look at him like that, but in fact, he is very good and easy to get along with. ”
Ye Fang hummed noncommittally.
"He is also said to be a strong man of the second caste. As for Bishop Qi, no one knows what kind of caste he is, because he has been a bishop in Night City for hundreds of years. Chen Dao, "But he is very prestigious and strong, no matter how many generations have passed, no one has ever disrespected him, even the strong people from other big cities or the people of the Heavenly Council respect him very much, but unfortunately, he is too old, and now most of the things are presided over by Father Landall, and Bishop Qi rarely shows up." ”
"Have you ever seen a miracle? I mean, the miracles of the seven gods? ”
"Isn't the safe zone a miracle?" Chen smiled.
Ye Fang was slightly stunned, but also nodded with a smile, and said, "What did you mean when you told me last time that the situation in Night City was terrible, not just because of day and night?" Can you tell me about it now? ”
"Of course." Chen shook his head proudly and said, "Although you are a foreigner, we are now a team of unveilers." You know those prohibitions in Night City, right? ”
"Hmm."
"You can't go out on a foggy night." Chen Shen said mysteriously, "Do you know why? ”
Ye Fang looked at this thing and wanted to reply I know what you are doing, but he wanted to maintain his image, so he could only shake his head coldly.
"You must have seen it in the Misty Night, right? Have you seen anything? ”
"A huge looming figure."
"Do you know what that is?" Chen didn't sell Guan Zi this time, and he couldn't wait to answer a question, "That's a dead god!" ”
This sentence made Ye Fang's heart skip a beat.
It's not that Ye Fang couldn't control himself because he was frightened by these words, but a certain kind of heart palpitation that couldn't be stopped, and an inexplicable chill rose from Ye Fang's heart.
Knowledge is danger.
But Chen, who said this, was fine, he noticed the change in Ye Fang, was a little surprised, and joked: "You are usually so calm, why are you startled?" ”
Ye Fang suddenly realized that this might have something to do with the fact that he had seen that thing with his own eyes.
You see it, you connect with it.
A casual remark that someone else jokes about can directly hurt someone listening.
If it was another situation, Ye Fang would definitely be rational at this time and no longer ask questions, but this matter has already had something to do with him, and he has to figure it out, at least to know something: "How do you know?" Why do you say it...... He is ......"
Chen Bu doubted that he had him, and he would also be frightened when he saw this mystical mage from a big city with a cold expression, but he felt that the other party was more like a normal person, so he still whispered mysteriously: "What kind of place is the safe zone, this is the shelter set up by the seven gods, but the fog and the existence in the fog can also enter here, what else can it be if it is not the same existence?" And, as far as I know, he wanders in the fog looking for more anchors, and legend has it that if he can anchor steadily and have enough anchors, he can be resurrected. Therefore, on the night of the mist, anyone who dares to walk into the mist, no matter how powerful the extraordinary being, will be taken away by him and will never return. ”
In the misty night, wandering like a lonely ghost, a dead god......
Ye Fang thought of the terrifying figure connected by black lines, and his body became colder and colder: "Then what if there is someone who can come back?" ”
"Impossible." Chen shook his head firmly, "No one has walked into the fog and seen him come back." Oh, there's only one possibility. ”
"What?"
Chen jokingly replied, "Unless that person has his own anchor, and he is also him." ”
This joke made Ye Fang's face change greatly.
