Chapter 188: The City of the Dead and Living (100 Red Plus Changes)

Liu Ci's eyes were burning, and he looked like he wanted to break the casserole and ask to the end. If Vis didn't plan to kill her, he would only choose to tell her part of the truth.

To be honest, the confinement of the Holy See is not that it has no effect on him at all, with his current state, he is not sure of taking down Liu Ci with one blow - this mercenary girl obviously does not know magic, and there are indeed endless scrolls on her body, but her swordsmanship seems to have restraint on dark creatures, even if her ability is not imprisoned, it will take a lot of effort to take her down in one fell swoop.

Viss hadn't made up his mind before dawn whether to return to the camp or not, and now the time was too precious to be wasted on the stalemate.

"Let's talk about confinement first. Bishop Simpson and the others have indeed imprisoned my spiritual power and the demonic power in my body, and this technique is called a spiritual lock by us on overseas continents. Light magic and natural magic have flourished for thousands of years, almost reaching their peak, and in the last few hundred years, there has been little innovation in the two types of magic, including the methods used by the Holy See to deal with dark mages.

But you should understand that we in the Dark Council have been working on new directions in magic, and have done a good job. In this world, no matter how strong the lock is, since it can be designed by someone, of course, there is a key to open it. That's why, Bishop Simpson and others have obviously imprisoned my spiritual power and demonic power, and I can still use some small means......"

Liu Ci pondered for a moment and said, "In other words, you can indeed leave at any time, so why don't you run away?" ”

Weiss raised an eyebrow, "Why should I run away?" To be a fugitive and be hunted down by the Holy See in the Bright Continent, or to be a valuable one, the Holy See can't kill at will, and treat my prisoner well? I seem to have mentioned to you that when you go to the Holy Port, everything will change.

Liu Ci, the Bright Continent where you are standing may have begun to brew some unknown change many years ago, but you have no way to get in touch with it...... When one day, when the time is ripe, the sudden outbreak of changes will shock the entire Bright Continent. Those races that have disappeared in the Bright Continent, the legendary elves, goblins, dragons, and vanished space magic, who can guarantee that they will not reappear in the world? ”

Weiss looked at Liu Ci with a serious face, and his eyes lit up when he told these things. It could be seen that he was not only expecting what he was saying, but was even very confident that the scene he described would become a reality.

Liu Ci was indifferent and said coldly: "The world is not an immutable layer, and the prosperity and disappearance of each species have its laws. The elves, goblins, and dragons you described...... Even if the Dark Council wanted them to appear again, it would be against the laws of nature, right? ”

Weiss sighed: "What if they weren't eliminated by nature, but someone who was strong and unreasonable, suppressed and disappeared these races that were once active on the continent?" ”

Liu Ci was confused, she didn't know how powerful the top powerhouse of the Bright Continent was, surpassing the existence of the Demon Master and the top Great Sword Master, and there was only a "sage".

Will the sage have the power to destroy the world?

She pressed again, but Weiss cautiously changed the subject.

"As for the reason why I moved your demon plant last night, it is the same reason that I returned to Husum, come here, take a closer look at those people on the street, do you see anything unusual?"

Vis bought a pass.

Liu Ci was puzzled, with the warnings of the merchants, and the inconsistent observations, she did think that Husum City was very strange. She was afraid that she was being deceived by hallucinations, and she deliberately used her divine sense to check the residents on the street.

They breathe, laugh, complain, walk, and are conscious to buy groceries, and they are indeed flesh and blood living people.

At this time, Wei Si reminded him, and Liu Ci observed intently again.

After a while, she couldn't help but shake her head: "I don't see anything abnormal. ”

Weiss smiled, didn't speak, and motioned for Liu Ci to follow him on.

The two carefully avoided pedestrians in the street and walked around the city of Husum as bright as daylight. Weiss took Liu Ci to the place where he stayed last night.

A church located in the heart of the city.

Unlike the light in other places, the entire church is pitch black.

The wooden door, carved with delicate patterns, was ajar, and a thick layer of dust had fallen on it. The door panel cracked, and half of the gilded doorknob was missing.

The kind of flower beds full of purple lily plants, overgrown with weeds, dead branches and rotten, where is the appearance of yesterday's thriving and neatly maintained.

Before Liu Ci could react, Weiss took a few steps forward and had already pushed open the door of the church.

Squeak –

The sound of the wooden doors turning was far away at night, and the bustle of a few streets away was completely cut off from the church. Listening to this sound, you can tell that the door shaft is rusty, and the church door has not been used for a long time.

A gust of night wind poured in, blowing through the cobwebs that crisscrossed the door. The startled spiders quickly disappeared into the corners along the web.

Liu Ci saw with excellent eyesight that the tables and chairs in the church were very dilapidated, the painted dome was dirty and could not be seen in its original appearance, and the statue of the god of light carved from white marble was missing a foot...... It was hard for her to imagine that just a day earlier, she and everyone in the convoy had spent a night in such a ghost place.

Thinking that she had eaten food made of unknown things, Liu Ci felt a tumbling in her stomach, and after enduring it for a while, she couldn't help but bend over and vomit.

Feeling that he was about to vomit out bile, Liu Ci stood up with his legs with a pale face.

"You saw something was wrong, so you didn't eat anything?"

She suddenly remembered that Weiss had not only not eaten dinner under the pretext of seasickness, but had not even appeared at the table in the morning.

Weisqi said: "I haven't been sure about the situation here until now, why did you deliberately skip dinner in the morning?" You think too much, everything about the church is true when the convoy lives here, including the food of course. Otherwise, how could Priest Veblen not notice in the slightest? ”

Hearing Weiss say this, Liu Ci didn't feel much better in his stomach. She suddenly posted a loophole in Weiss's words:

"You didn't notice something was wrong until we left, or when we arrived in the city of Husum?"

Weiss nodded.

Liu Ci sneered: "That's strange, Mr. Weiss dared to jump into the underground river and use the help of the water flow to return to Husum, I think you should be very familiar with the neighborhood." ”

was exposed by Liu Ci, Weiss sneered: "Okay, I won't lie to you anymore." I've heard about the strangeness of Husum for a long time, and this is the fourth time I've been to this place. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the benches outside the church for resting and walked over first.

Liu Ci immediately followed, and the two sat down separately, occupying both ends of the bench.

"Husum's weirdness, I actually heard about it when I first arrived in the Bright Continent. Because I have other tasks on my side, I can't always stay in one place, three times before and after, and I only scratch the surface of the weirdness about Husum. ”

Liu Ci had to divert her attention if she wanted to force herself to forget the nausea in her stomach, and she wondered, "What are you doing studying this place?" Until now, I didn't feel any dark aura in Husum, but a dark mage was interested in the city, and it seems that my feelings were wrong. ”

Weiss shook his head, "No, your feelings are right. The pedestrians on the streets, the inhabitants of Husum, although they have problems, are not dark creatures, and certainly do not feel the dark atmosphere. ”

Liu Ci frowned: "But you also admit that they have a problem......

Weiss thought for a while, and said in a hesitant tone: "I can't say if there is a problem, after all, their state at this time is not recorded in historical documents, and I can't draw conclusions at will." ”

Without waiting for Liu Ci to ask, he crossed his hands and put his ten fingers together, turned his head and asked, "You should know that a few years ago, because of the flood of the Yedan River, the entire city of Husum was flooded, and the residents of the city were almost killed and injured, right?" ”

Liu Ci nodded, she had heard it in the port before she crossed the river, and the two priests who greeted the convoy also spoke. It was precisely because several years had passed that the city of Husum had not been restored to life, and the two priests were very respectful to the Veblen priests, probably hoping that a noble person would help them get rid of them.

"It is still several years before the flood disaster occurs, and no matter how hard the Holy See and the new city lords sent by the Spur Empire try, Husum is sparsely populated and cannot recover his life. When I first came to the Bright Continent, I happened to hear a certain merchant mention the strangeness of this place, so I came up to investigate...... Perhaps it was the different perspective of the Dark Mage and the Holy See, and when I first came, I discovered the truth that Husum could not recover from human beings. ”

Weston paused, pointing a few blocks away, bustling with bright lights: "At first glance, there is nothing unusual about those people, but if you talk to them, you will know that in their memory, the city of Husum has never been flooded. ”

Liu Ci felt that he had faintly touched a certain truth, but he was like a flower in a fog and couldn't understand it thoroughly.

Fortunately, Weiss did not sell Guan Zi this time, he seemed to be a little emotional, "You look around, look at the abandoned church, look at the houses that have not been repaired after the collapse, and look at the traces that still exist on the city wall...... Everything indicates that a few years ago, it was completely flooded! But why don't those people remember? Because their memories are forever stuck in the moment before the flood! …… They died in the flood a few years ago, but they unanimously agreed that they were still alive! ”

Vis waved his arms and told the terrifying truth. However, his expression did not have the slightest fear, but was intoxicated and surprised: "The people here are all dead!" But the whole city of Husum, after the flood, came to life! A small number of real living people live in the day of the city of Husum, and many more, the inhabitants who died a few years ago, live in the night of the city of Husum. The two are like two parallel lines, never interfering with each other and never intersecting...... The residents who belong to the night, they don't know that there is a flood, they are like ordinary people, they even breathe, they have a heartbeat, they always think they are alive, how can they have a dark atmosphere?

You see, everything here can't be explained by the Dark Council's most cutting-edge knowledge system. Those people died, but together with the city of Husum, they gained eternal life! It's all so fascinating, and I may not be able to explain why for it in my lifetime.

The rotten Holy See doesn't know anything, and this should belong to the Dark Council! Belong to a group of our dark mages who are tirelessly pursuing new realms of magic! ”

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”

Liu Ci also stood up and applauded, "You tell a wonderful story, but Mr. Weiss, you haven't explained yet, what does everything about Husum have to do with you moving my demon plant?" ”

The emotional Weiss was interrupted by Liu Ci and was very dissatisfied, and he was obviously impatient in the face of Liu Ci's question:

"You're wrong, it's not that I'm greedy for your demon plant, it's Husum, this living city, it wants it!"
