Chapter 442: The Fallen
Before dark, Lu Tian had already rented a comfortable house and moved in on the spot.
For such a period of time, Lu Tian also took the opportunity to learn a lot of information from Bolu.
This Delin City is indeed the closest to the vampire clan, and the strongest force in the city-state is the Holy See, followed by the official forces, and the Black Skull, the Alien Association, etc. are also very strong forces.
This is similar to what he knew from the dragon, and the only thing that is more useful is to know the specific location of the vampire clan.
The vampire clan has occupied several former countries and is a bitter rival of the human papacy, often fighting on the border.
And the border is a hundred miles away from the city-state, and he is going to see it tomorrow.
He had to find a way to sneak into vampire territory and find a way to find out the specific location of the kings in his clan, as long as he dared to do so.
Now the question is, how do you get the news from the vampires.
He's a human, and he's targeted as soon as he enters vampire territory, and even if he sneaks in, he's easy to spot by high-level vampires, so it's not a good idea.
He also wanted Black Armor to go, but it was impossible for ordinary vampire people to know the vampire king's place, and those old guys were afraid of death, and their hidden nests were probably difficult to find.
"You still can't startle the snake, we have to find a way to solve this problem from other places."
Lu Tian overturned some of the initial ideas and felt that it was better to plan slowly.
"It's dawning again!"
He muttered, the white of the fish belly in the east had just appeared, and it had not yet been able to illuminate the sky on this side, so it was still dim in all directions.
The spiritual power spread out, and without those suppressed existences, his thoughts were like swimming fish, spreading thousands of meters in the blink of an eye, enveloping half of the Delin city-state.
Some things that could not be seen during the day were instantly imprinted into his heart, including the happiness of the transcendental, the struggle of the survivors at the bottom, and more importantly, the turbid black smoke miasma, which made the sky over the city also dense with thick depression.
Woo!
The silence was broken by the loud sound of sirens, a slum on the western edge of the city-state, which aroused Lu Tian's curiosity.
Because he used his mental power to see that on those stinking streets, figures quickly poured out, many of them were still yawning, and even scolding in their mouths, but they were all in one direction, which was the square where the alarm was located.
He was curious because most people said the word "Holy See", and Lu Tian thought to himself, is this going to be a morning meeting?
He roughly observed that as long as there was some status of ordinary people, or transcendents, all lived in other areas, and this western quarter of the area was inhabited by ninety percent of the population of the city-state.
Such a population density makes the environment here extremely bad, the roads are full of dirty water and garbage, and the smell is everywhere.
Soon Lu Tian's attention shifted to the square, and on the high platform here, a group of people dressed in priest's clothes appeared, and they didn't need to think about it to know that they were people from the Holy See.
These people were all neatly dressed, holding either a nerve in their hands or hands behind their backs, and looked at the gathered people with gentle expressions, but their eyes were very indifferent.
They were the de facto rulers of the city-state, and they loved to govern these suffering mortals by faith, and every day they had a small morning meeting where one would lead millions of people to read the Bible and listen to God's will.
But today, on that sacred cross, a figure is tied with a black cloth, and some experienced survivors know that a sinner will be dealt with today.
There were more and more people, like a tide, but it was unusually quiet, and everyone immediately closed their mouths the moment they saw the cross on the high platform, no matter how reluctant they were, they didn't dare to talk nonsense at this time.
Ten minutes later, the square of nearly 10,000 square meters was crowded with people, old and young, men and women, all looking at the stage.
At this time, with awe, they occasionally looked at the figure on the cross, and most of them looked at them with disgust, pity, and at most indifference.
The Holy See took the lead, a cardinal archbishop, whose loud voice spread everywhere and began to lead the people below to read the Bible.
"Interesting, the rulers of this foreign country still want to engage in mind control, is there really nothing to do?"
Lu Tian pouted, he didn't have to listen to see what these people were doing, this collective morning meeting was for the Holy See to brainwash.
These papal seekers are really good at playing, doing this every day, and after a long time, some ideas will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it will be difficult for ordinary survivors to challenge the authority of the papal see.
He didn't think it was interesting, but he understood that it was not useless, and that long-term spiritual guidance could not only consolidate his dominance, but also allow many people to establish a certain faith, so that he could live one more day in this era.
As for whether to live happily for a day or for a day of numbness, this is not something he Lu Tian cares about.
He was now concerned not with the pretending priests, nor with the survivors who looked like wooden men below, but with the guys on the cross.
If he wasn't feeling wrong, it was supposed to be a vampire.
This was his guess, because he sensed the aura of that guy, not like a human or a zombie, not even a transcendent, with an aura of evil and decay, being treated like this in this place, not a vampire or something?
However, he was also a little skeptical, because this vampire was not very strong, and his strength was not even level 2, which was different from the impression of vampires in his heart.
In his impression, vampires have a special bloodline inheritance, not only have a long lifespan, but also their strength is not simple, as long as they are adult vampires, their strength is comparable to that of a level 3 transcendent, even if they are weak, they will not be like this.
Unless it's a possibility!
Lu Tian withdrew most of his mental power and paid attention to it with interest, which should be clear later.
There was a lot of nonsense in the morning meeting, and the priests were talking about some illusory things, but many of them showed firmness and fanaticism, and half of them seemed to agree with the words of this group of papal see.
It took half an hour for the impassioned words to cease, and the bishop in the lead spoke coldly, causing the cross to be pushed forward.
"Do you know what he is?"
The bishop was a middle-aged, white-haired man who pointed to the man on the cross with a dangerous smile.
Many people answered that they were heretics, while others said that they were heinous sinners, and their opinions were not consistent.
The bishop made a downward gesture, and everyone immediately shut up and waited for the bishop to speak.
"He is more hateful than the heathen, he is filthier than the sinner, he is the depraved of darkness!"
Immediately boiling below, what the Fallen were, they knew very well, it was the human who gave in to the darkness, it was the beast who betrayed the Lord and the light, it was the demon who would drink their blood, it was the existence that they all hated.
Among their city-states, there is one of the most despised beings, and they are the Fallen.
They are not humans, nor are they vampires, but they surrender to the dark humans for power, they are willing to become slaves of vampires, they want to have a long lifespan, they want great power, they want wealth and dignity, they give up being human beings, and choose to become human beings and ghosts.
This is the Fallen, also known as the Blood Slaves, they are not officially vampires, but they are transformed by vampires and have the physique of vampires, but there are still many conditions to be considered official vampires.
