The giant claw that dwelt at the western gate had only begun to appear three days earlier. It is in the darkness inside the gate of the city, and every passerby who enters and exits the west gate of Gulunhar will pass under its territory.

With its huge claws covered in gray scales, it will not easily attack demons entering and leaving the city, and many demons who have stayed in Gurenhar for a long time know its origin. Often, the west gate of Gulunhar is always wide open, and the door is not closed, if the enemy attacks this wall, how to defend it?

The western wall is not a city gate without a closed exit entrance, the defensive gate of the western wall of Gulunhar is...... The giant claw.

When the enemy attack comes, the day of daylight is about to fall, the "city gate" will be elevated from a deep sleep level to a state of false sleep, and any discordant stimulation will awaken the "city gate" from the false sleep.

Gulenhar slacked off the city's defense some time ago, and now it is slowly under martial law. The city defenses that had put it to sleep in the past were awakened by the main city guards.

The defensive "city gates" of the east and west have entered a state of false sleep from deep sleep, and may wake up at any time. The two strategic fortresses in the north and south, the round boulder of the tower at the top of the fortress, are also "alive".

Standing in the spire of the fortress, protected by Sensen's cold metal barbs, the giant eyeballs at the top of the tower have opened their vertical eyes, and the bloodshot whites of their eyes are observing every corner outside the city.

The surveillance eyes of the Beicheng Fortress never stopped scanning, and within five kilometers of the wild north of the city, no wind or grass could escape its surveillance.

It was in this extremely oppressive and tense atmosphere that Jory walked into a city that only demons could enter. O lamb who is exploited by others, if he does not have the protection and guidance of the devil, and enters Gurenhar at will, he will see a tragic end.

Gulunhar is not allowed to kill people, because killing and fighting are against the order of the main city. But if you kill someone, you won't be discovered. Isn't there no breaking the order?

Just as a thief who is not caught is not a thief.

But if any lamb dares to enter Gurenhar without protection, perhaps the next scream in some dark corner of the city will come from your mouth.

Since Jory dared to enter the city, he was not afraid of the miscellaneous pieces that were hiding in the shadows and preparing to slaughter the sheep.

The southern part of the main city was a dark and barren clearing, and Jory vaguely remembered that it was there that he entered the castle of Castlevania from the bone pit, and from there. Just after entering the city. Jory had nowhere to go for a while, so he headed for the southern part of the city.

With a small fortress on the southern wall in the distance, Jory looked down to see a barren clearing, where only one building stood except for the pitch black earth. The gaze shines through the four crooked pillars. Jory looked at the skeleton building, an open-air building made of white bones. It's not far from the pit of bones.

"Huh? It's not ......"

The footsteps behind him sped up a little. A middle-aged man in bright metal armor walked over, and a group of people who followed him also came here one after another.

"Are you...... Jory? ”

The middle-aged man who led more than twenty uniform-style armor came to a short distance from Jori, and after hesitating for a moment, the middle-aged man still stepped forward and said hello to Jori.

"Huh. I knew you would come to Gurenhar sooner or later...... More than half a month apart, don't come unharmed. ”

As he spoke, Li Gang took off his helmet and revealed his true appearance.

Li Gang with short lean hair. He still remembers Jory as he did more than half a month ago. After the departure of Castlevania, the last time Jory saw him was in the Dark Forest, when Li Gang, his nephew and several others were wandering in the forest, seemingly abducting lambs to the slaughterhouse.

Turning around slowly, Qiao Li, who was dressed in a heavy black and red leather coat, turned sideways and looked at Li Gang. Glancing lightly at Li Gang's figure, Qiao Li saw a young guard behind him, with a straight armor on his body, which made Li Qing look much taller, no longer the submissive when they first met.

"Brother Qiao, you must have come to the Abyss Temple with a full load! Ha ha. Li Gang was like more than half a month ago, he spoke very familiarly as soon as he came over, neither treating himself as an outsider, nor making the other party feel disgusted by his affection.

And this kind of sociable person should be guarded against it. Qiao Li is very familiar with the affinity and charm of a leader like Li Gang, as well as similar speech and demeanor, and he may use himself as a gun at any time. The last time he saw him in Castlevania, Jory knew that he wasn't the kind of fool who couldn't believe in reality or still put on a leadership show, but Li Gang quickly adapted to the cruelty of Aitharas.

It's just that Qiao Li can hear what Li Gang says half of what he says, so Li Gang doesn't have the slightest sense of credibility for him.

"Brother, you've been mixing well lately, people rely on clothes, uh-huh......" Li Gang looked at Jory's black and red windbreaker very enthusiastically,

Qiao Li pondered for a moment, he looked at the bright armor on Li Gang's body, and said, "Li Gang...... I remember you, you're pretty good, you're a little boss, right? ”

The reason why he came over was because he happened to see Qiao Li and felt familiar before he came to recognize someone, and Li Gang still had serious things to do, and after saying goodbye to Qiao Li, he led a group of guards in standard armor to what he called the "Abyss Temple".

After a long time, Li Gang entered the bone temple with more than 20 people, and when he came out, he was the only one left. After Li Gang, who was full of sadness, walked out of the temple, he stared at the ground, and walked slowly with a heavy heart, when suddenly Li Gang patted his head, as if he remembered something important.

"Alas! The more I live, the more I go back! Li Gang took off his helmet and smashed it to the ground, and he scolded in his heart: "When I met that guy just now, I can completely win him into this trial team and let him protect Xiaoqing!" Xiaoqing, how good is it for him to enter Castlevania alone! I can't go with him this time, it's not safe to be alone by his side...... Damn it! ”

Looking up at the front, Li Gang didn't see Jory except for the barren land, which made his wish to ask Jory for help in vain. One after another, some people rushed through the southern district of the city towards the Abyss Temple, and some of these people had the same goal as Li Gang, which was to take the few of their own people selected and send them to the Abyss Temple. Wait for the next Castlevania opening to enter it.

Others go to the Abyss Temple to offer tribute to the altar or to worship the statues of the Abyss Demon Kings enshrined in the temple. In the Continent of Aitsalas, especially on the side of these demons, it seems that demons should not have faith, but in fact, many demons who have the ability will come to the Abyss Temple to worship the sculpture of the demon king and make sacrifices.

…… If it is not good, the demon will not make senseless actions.

Beliefs and offerings to the Temple of the Abyss. It's not the "god stick" and "religious liar" that Jory saw in the original world, you must know that this is a world of demons, spells, curses, and all kinds of magical legends in front of him, if he said that there were gods in the world in the past, Jory would not necessarily believe it. But if it is said that there are gods and demons in Essalas, Jory firmly believes in it.

The continent of Aitsalas, where demons and monsters run all over the ground. It would be strange if there were no real gods.

Previously, Li Gang entered the Abyss Temple with more than twenty fully armed guards. Jory wanted to take a look with him, and even if he encountered any sudden danger, he was confident that he would escape from the fog. But when Jory approached the temple for some distance, his heart beat again inexplicably.

This familiar palpitation was last on the day when Huo Nan and Jory entered the station. The owner behind the post station didn't know how hard the background was, and summoned the bodies of some abyss creatures from under the post station to use as the basement of the post station. At that time, Jory's heart palpitations after entering the flesh wall room. Same as today.

After approaching the "Abyss Temple" proposed by Li Gang, Qiao Li's heart beat unnaturally, and he didn't take the initiative to use the power of the dead at all, but the green tendons on Qiao Li's body were already slowly floating.

The word "abyss" gives Jory an inexplicable attraction. Every time he approaches something about the "abyss", he arouses the urge of dominance and provokes the desire of Jory's soul. Hope.

The blood flows into the limbs and bones during that desire. The hope surged all over his body, and finally into his brain, forming a driving force that Jory really felt, driving him to take the initiative to approach the abyss.

The Dominating Force had more than once urged him to stick to everything related to the "Abyss", but he couldn't.

God knows what happens to the unstable throbbing caused by the power of domination, and Jory always has the illusion that since he awakened the "power of domination", it seems that there is a kind of will of a third party, which invisibly influences his choices.

Jory may not feel it when it happened, but when it comes to a long time after the incident is over, Jory will feel that the original choice was not his intention, and this feeling is like...... The Dominating Force, in turn, wants to dominate Jory.

Obviously a dominating force that extracts the soul from the blood and uses it for his own use, how can Jory tolerate it to dominate himself in turn! The fear of becoming a puppet is not something that anyone can ignore.

The abyss, it must have some kind of resonance with the power of domination, otherwise it will not come into contact with things related to the abyss again and again, and the power of domination will be clearly activated, relying on Jory's desire for blood and soul, driving him close to the "abyss".

Until he really understands the power of domination, Jory will not allow himself to come into contact with anything related to the "abyss", who knows what will happen to him if he follows the drive of the power of domination and approaches the "abyss". You can't be careless in the world where the demons are dancing, and if you are not careful, you may never turn over.

Jory didn't approach the Abyss Temple, and he quickly left the wasteland in the southern part of the city, heading towards the trade district in the eastern part of the city. Rather than the Temple of the Abyss, which makes the dominant forces restless, the trading area is more suitable for Jory, and don't forget, he was once a student who was the crystallization of knowledge in the Department of Finance.

Jory's original intention was to set off a wave of chaos in Gurenhar, and because of the restlessness of his dominating power, he would not approach the more solemn Abyss Temple, but......

Will he be able to use his financial knowledge to set off a chaotic financial storm in Gulenhar, a city full of demons?

Jory, who is well-read in financial theory, knows how terrible the wave of financial crisis is! (To be continued......)
