Neham, who has always been calm, has a nameless fire in his heart at the moment that cannot be suppressed.
After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, he wanted to find Link with Doyle's breath, and it was said that Link was stronger and easier to perceive. But his ability as a child of nature can perfectly hide himself, and Neam has no choice but to retreat and search for Doyle, whose power has completely changed. Then he was annoyed to see Doyle disorganized, scattered all over the city, unable to track it accurately. So Neham decided that it was a deliberate attempt by Link to get rid of himself.
After several successive blows, he came to the tavern that had been proofed, and this was the place where the residual smell was the strongest.
Looking at the proofing sign hanging on the door, the Knight of Dawn's face was gloomy and terrifying.
It's hard to believe that such a cunning guy will be chosen by Zhu, what excellent qualities does he have that make Zhu make exceptions again and again?
Despite not wearing a sun-emblemmed robe, Neham's sleek stance and clerical temperament still caught the eyes of passers-by.
The cobweb-based intelligence organizations also revealed the young man who was known at a glance to be a follower of Dawn. With his keen observation, after realizing that the other party's rank is not low and that he is a knight, some timid and fearful people have flashed. In the past few years, the spiritual cleanliness of the Dawn Sect has been even more excessive than before the invasion of the undead, and if they are not careful, they will be angered, and they don't want to be a live target to be sent to the door.
Neam pulled out a pendant tied to a Mithril chain from the placket of his robe, a special artifact blessed by the High Priest that stored divine power that allowed him to use three prophecies, wielding a situation-turning effect in an emergency.
After much hesitation, Neam ended up not using it.
He decided to look around, and he couldn't just waste a prophecy opportunity.
Suppress the anger in your chest. Neam turned, circled, and found an underground sewer at the back door of the tavern. The lid was long gone, and Doyle's breath was gone. The entrance to the black hole could not intimidate the daring Dawn Knight, and Neam tread the wet staircase.
The world-famous Nax slave market was built in an underground waterway that ran through the city. With extensive access to old and new waterways, it's easy to get lost without the guidance of locals. Every few tens of meters there was a lighting lamp, and the crackling grease and the sound of flowing water were amplified several times in the empty passage, perfectly masking the breath of the ambushed attackers. Many newcomers were recruited because of this, and they were lucky enough to be sold as slaves. Bad luck was killed on the spot. In such a place, money and power are the law, and the weak and careless fools can only blame themselves for their bad lives.
By tracking Doyle's breath, Neam managed to avoid dead ends and traps. Occasionally, a few dumb people who don't have long eyes see that their prey has bypassed their area, and they don't give up and follow.
Looking at the people blocking his way in front of and behind, Neham's already poor face became more and more ugly.
"Good luck today. It's a fat sheep. ”
"This kid must be a nobleman!"
"Don't be stupid, where will there be a nobleman who comes to buy slaves by himself, and even if he is, he must be so downtrod that he doesn't even have a domestic servant. ”
The thugs who specialize in this kind of work judge Neham, who stands silent, and has no idea that disaster is coming.
Elias, the god of light, is a stern deity who is unrelenting to evil, and the followers of Dawn have played the role of enforcers since ancient times. Sometimes it even has a higher disposition than the lord. The former regent Colk is a typical example, Frannie is one of the hereditary twelve princes, with royal blood, even if the empire is in the twilight of the mountains, none of the ambitious nobles dare to do it. But because of her collusion with the demons, the high priest revoked the glory of 'regent', and at this time, the divine power is above the royal power, not only because the empire has made Dawn the state religion, but also because it has always been. When it comes to the question of the camp, the gods never budge. Humanity prides itself on being neutral, but it has been infested by the undead for decades, and ordinary people don't want to be relegated to the evil chaos camp.
At Link's request, Neham swapped out a knight's outfit that symbolized his status. In addition, the underground light is dim, and the gangsters are just ordinary people, so they can't feel that Nerham is different from ordinary people's introverted atmosphere, just looking at his handsome appearance and wearing silk that ordinary people can't wear, they think that he is a fat sheep.
Neam's anger was on the verge of exploding, "Get out of here, I'm not in the mood or time to waste on you right now." ”
In response to him, there was a flurry of laughter, and none of the thugs took his warnings seriously, and they all thought that the little white face was just a fierce and introverted face, and forced to calm down. Some even gestured at Neham with weapons in their hands, threatening to sell him into a large pit as a flesh slave.
Seeing the blade slashing towards his face, Neam couldn't bear it anymore and snatched it away, and the rest of the thugs laughed even louder.
"Jason, you were robbed of your weapon by Little White Face. ”
"Couldn't it be a shaking hand?"
The thug named Jason remained in the position of having his weapon snatched, and the dimly lit sewers made it impossible to see his exact condition until the foul-smelling liquid splattered on the others, and the laughter stopped abruptly. Someone reached out and touched a handful on their face, it was wet, and they realized it later, this is blood!
Then, Jason's body fell limply backwards, and there were two muffled thuds as he landed.
"Babble-"
A cry of terror spread through the waterways that flowed in all directions, and Link, who had entered earlier than Neham, paused and tilted his head to make a listening motion, and Goiás, who was leading the way in front of him, also stopped.
"What's wrong?" to be honest, he didn't feel anything, he had seen Link with his own eyes, and believed that he was a master of deep concealment, and he had never thought that Link was posturing or anything like that.
"Screams?" After the bloodline awakened, Doyle's senses were much sharper than those of humans, and Vera, who shared one body, naturally heard the cries from other underground waterways.
Link nodded, "Let's go, that guy is coming." ”
Goiás and Asa both looked surprised, but the former was confused, while the latter knew it.
I don't want Doyle to respect his mentor as much. Vera hated Neuam very much, and asked in her consciousness that since Link also hated Neuem, why didn't she get rid of him completely?
[For now, I can't ...... with him yet] No. He can't tear his face with the Dawn Sect he represents. In the matter of sealing, Dawn has made a big concession, if it weren't for my intervention...... Well, it should be said that he made an exception for the sake of the pillar's face, and allowed you to walk around his territory. 】
Vera scoffed. [When did the material realm become his territory?]
[The first generation is the creator of the planet, strictly speaking, Edgar is the property of the first generation, and it is not at all too much to describe it as a land. This is one of the few stories Link knows about Edgar's origins.
[Even if it is, the material realm should be the territory of the pillar, when the primeval era divided the territory. Dawn and night each chose their own corresponding sky and underground. Vera's answer surprised Link.
How do you know this?] Humans today know very little about the history before the Silver Age, and the only records of the Golden Age, or even older, have survived in the temples except for Hohenheim. Even if Doyle was in the Dawn Sect, such a secret could only be accessed by high-ranking believers of rank such as the Grand Priest and the Knight of Dawn.
[After the bloodline of the demon dragon awakens, it automatically runs into the brain, which is probably the so-called memory left in the bloodline. Vera's tone was a little self-deprecating. Compared to Doyle, she is the real demon.
Link couldn't say more, so he reached out and touched her head as a sign of comfort. This act of dealing with the child did not arouse Vera's disgust, but it stunned Assa, who was walking behind. Even the inside information of Guò Cobwebs and Thorns of Shadows to learn that the Children of Nature had adopted Doyle, who was supposed to inherit Cronberg, and even the true gender of the current former knight of the Church, was not as shocking as what he saw.
After all, it was only a nominal adoption, and there was no blood relationship or time to cultivate a relationship. Let's say they have an affair. I didn't feel any affection.
Asa carefully controlled the expression on his face, afraid that Link would turn around and see himself speculating or speculating.
The time spent together compensated, but it was enough for him to figure out Link's general character. Asa didn't want to lose a position that might have been bought by a lifetime of luck because of some misdemeanor.
"It's here. Goiás stopped, and in front of the three of them was a natural cave that suddenly opened up. Compared to the bends and quiet underground waterways, this is simply another Nax city, even if it does not reach the bustling Chengdù, it can be described as bustling. Wooden, iron, and even indescribable cages, large and small, were held not only by dwarves and gnomes as common in the slave trade, but also by humans, occasionally with elves or grotesque creatures.
The air was filled with all kinds of pungent smells, and seeing those so-called slaves imprisoned in a small space like this, eating, drinking, and lazar were all solved on the spot, and some were even unclothed, Link's expression immediately became gloomy, and his disgust at Neham, who was chasing after him, was a little more disgusted.
Isn't Dawn the self-proclaimed god of order? Why does the Dawn Sect take no action when they know that Nax is the largest slave market in the Big 6? This kind of ignorance is tantamount to letting the slave trade go.
"I can only take you here, and then you will be in the territory of the slave traders, and they will check the identity of the visitor in detail, and if something is wrong, even the nobles' subordinates will not let it go. Goiás lowered his voice, he couldn't go any further.
"Nax is just a legendary mage, how can he cover the sky with one hand?" Link asked, wondering in his heart, "Or is Hohenheim the real man behind the slave trade?"
"You already know, so why bother asking me. Goiás smiled wryly and stepped back, he took out a yellow portrait and showed it to Link, "This is my brother, he has burns on his face, it's easy to recognize." If...... You haven't found him here, so please go back to the tavern and let me know. Please. ”
