Chapter 14: The City of Sacrifice I
The speed of the caravan is undoubtedly slow, and this is the price that Mo Ran needs to pay, after all... Nothing is perfect in this world.
Fortunately, Mo Ran is not in a hurry.
After the caravan left Pendulum City, it was targeted by thugs and robbers entrenched in the vicinity, because the size of the caravan was not large, and the strength of the guards was not strong, so there were always some guys who were not self-sufficient and wanted to attack the caravan.
It's just that after the three groups of robbers and thugs have gone and never returned, the guys who have spied on the wealth of the caravan have disappeared without a trace.
Mo Ran's time was very precious, how could it be wasted on these small characters, so the methods used were very cruel, causing all the attackers to be dead.
Pity... The brutal methods did not deter the robbers and thugs, because there were always some people who were neither evil nor self-righteous, so the attacks took place three times.
After three times, even the untouchable ones can see the reality clearly, because they are so bloody and alive in front of your eyes.
After a long journey of 12 days, the caravan finally arrived at the City of Sacrifice, but Mo Ran was secretly anxious, because Bufan had stopped moving since three days ago.
It's just that being anxious doesn't help, so Mo Ran suppressed the impulse in his heart and began to carefully observe the city of sacrifice, which had already shown a rough outline.
In the sky above the city of sacrifice was a dark cloud that covered the sky and the sun and lasted for a long time. In the dark clouds, Mo Ran sensed a force, or a rule.
This kind of rule... Let's call it demonization.
If there are no rules, then the dark clouds can only produce the effect of infection and erosion, but the existence of rules changes everything and makes the infection and erosion irreversible, so Mo Ran will call it demonization.
The presence of dark clouds not only darkens the shrouded area, but also mutates the environment.
Because every grass and tree here, even a stone, will be eroded by demonization, and then turn into strange-shaped monsters.
However, there are no monsters in the vicinity of the Sacrifice City, because for the inhabitants of the Sacrifice City, monsters are their favorite food, which can be used to deepen the degree of demonization and improve their own strength.
Mo Ran just glanced at the dark clouds, and then cautiously withdrew his gaze. This is not to blame Mo Ran for being careful, because if you want the energy to run in an orderly manner, you must use your will to drive the rules.
And in the dark clouds, there is an extremely large amount of energy, and if you want to drive such a huge amount of energy, there must be an extremely strong will.
When the will is strong to such a degree, it will definitely have all kinds of powers, and Mo Ran doesn't want to let the will in the dark clouds perceive his inappropriateness because of his gaze.
However, Mo Ran's gaze towards the City of Sacrifice became unscrupulous. Although the clouds originate from the City of Sacrifice, the City of Sacrifice is nothing more than a monster at best.
Yes, monsters!
The history of the City of Sacrifice has been thousands of years, so it is the most demonized monster. It's just that it's bound by power, so it maintains the form of the city.
Therefore, the city of sacrifice is not a dead thing, but a living city. So when the restraint is gone, the City of Sacrifice will become a terrifying monster.
The moment they saw the City of Sacrifice, the entire caravan paused, and then a trace of inexplicable brilliance flashed in the eyes of each caravan member.
Mo Ran saw only one thing from these brilliances, and that was unforgettable hatred.
These hatreds... In fact, it stems from the instinct of the Solars, because every Solar is instilled with the seeds of hatred by the will of the world at the time of birth, and the object of hatred... It is the city of sacrifices.
As for... Why?
It's because the City of Sacrifices, as well as the dark clouds that have formed above it, are the main culprits in sealing the plane and changing the rules.
Therefore, as long as the city of sacrifice is not destroyed, then Solal will continue to be enslaved by the demons.
The caravan rested in place for a while, and did not continue its journey until all members had recovered their original state.
After entering the area shrouded in dark clouds, the world seemed to change into a groggy space in an instant. The caravan members were unaware of this, but Mo Ran's face became very solemn.
Because the rules here have changed and become diametrically opposed to Solar, thus forming something similar to the realm.
It's just that it is more powerful than the realm, and it is more appropriate to describe it as the realm of gods, and in this area, the strength of all dark species will be greatly enhanced.
Because of the change of rules, the ecological environment has also changed, perhaps... The environment here is a true portrayal of the Dark Domain.
This is a very oppressive land, so everyone who walks on the land will become silent, and it is in this silence that the caravan came to the gates of the city of sacrifice.
Then, Mo Ran saw the demonized Solal people, they did not become anything strange because of the demonization, but the color of their skin turned into a dark gray like a demon, and their eyes also turned blood red.
These demonized Solal people are no longer part of the Solal people. Because the demonization has distorted their will and thoughts, and they have become demonic minions like the dark seed.
Therefore, these demonized Solal people are called demons by the Solal people.
The demon who defended the city only checked the pass and opened the gates of the city of sacrifice.
Don't look at the caravan very easily, they brought Mo Ran and the others into the city of sacrifice, but if it was Mo Ran himself, it was not so simple.
After all, only a small number of Solal people would go to the city of sacrifice, and most of them were caravans transporting daily necessities.
Therefore, if the four of Mo Ran really wanted to go to the sacrificial city alone, they would definitely be strictly examined.
After entering the city, Mo Ran found that the city of sacrifice was not full of demons as he imagined, and there were many Solal people living here.
As if seeing Mo Ran's doubts, Thor whispered: "These people are representatives of various countries, and the demon descendants are the masters of this plane after all, so we have to bow our heads. ”
"The role of these people is to speak the orders of the Demon Descendants and convey them to the various empires. However, from the time the City of Sacrifice was established to this day, there have only been a handful of missions issued by the Demon Descendants. ”
Mo Ran then asked, "So... What quest was released for the invasion? ”
Thor shook his head bitterly and said, "My lord, the Demon Spawn didn't issue a mission to us about the invaders at all. ”
Thor's answer surprised Mo Ran a little: "No task? ”
This made Thor's expression even more bitter: "Yes, my lord! Because the Demons don't look down on our power at all......"
