Chapter 4: The Devil
The four prophets who founded the Red Light City, although they claimed to be "prophets", were clearly not saints. They built the city only to survive.
According to the rules of the city, all residents of the Red Light City must regularly pay a certain amount of material to the bloodline of the four prophets to maintain their eligibility to live in the city, unless these residents awaken their abilities and become new prophets, in order to be exempt from this obligation. In Sutum's view, this is the so-called residence tax in the city.
This part of the tax paid by the inhabitants, or the goods, was handed over to the city lord's house, and then the city lord and other elders who were in charge of handling the affairs were distributed to their descendant families according to the contribution of the four prophets to the city until their blood was severed.
At this time, no one dared to openly murder the descendants of the Prophet, even if they were in decline, just like ordinary people.
According to this rule, Sutum has always enjoyed the right to be enshrined, and does not have to do all kinds of hard work to support him and Ba like other people in the city.
Over the generations, although the offerings were distributed less and less, the population of the Istney family was also decreasing, but it was able to support the Istney family's life.
Originally, the quota of supplies for the enshrinement should have been sent by the city lord to the Disteni family at the beginning of the month, but now, judging from the time, it has reached the middle of the month, and it has not yet been delivered, which is a bit of a problem.
If it weren't for the city lord's decision to revoke this right of the Istney family, then there were some people who were obstructing it and operating it in the dark.
As a rule of thumb, the former is very unlikely. After all, compared to the part of the city lord's income, the materials allocated to the Istney family can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket, and it is not important. If it is really canceled, it will damage the reputation of the Finn family, and it will also cause the anger of the residents who have old ties to the Istney family, which can be said to be more than worth the loss.
Then the only possibility is the latter.
It's a pity that Sutum's memory of the ontology is limited and emotional, and he can't judge it.
"Sorry to bother the host. I immediately went to the City Lord's Mansion and asked what was going on. ”
Ba looked at Sutum's angry expression, and there was a look of self-reproach on his rugged face.
"No, I don't. Sutum shook his head, suddenly showed a mysterious smile, and said, "I think it won't be long before someone will come to the door." ”
"Hehe, they will ask us for something on this condition...... So, who are they, and what are they thinking about?"
Looking at Ba with a blank face, Sutum did not continue to explain.
Anyway, in his previous life, he was also a person who had been in society for a few years, so these things were naturally easy to see.
Although this era is primitive, these people are not simple.
Sutum and Ba were angry about the offerings, but at this time, there was a panic in the city, but several demons actually appeared in the city silently.
The so-called demon refers to human beings who have been polluted by demonic power for various reasons, resulting in degeneration and mutation.
Generally speaking, the form of demons will undergo various transformations due to the transformation of demonic power - they either have horns on their heads, scales on their bodies, or limbs twisted and enlarged or shrunk, and may even grow wings, these transformations are not just topographical changes, but also give them mysterious powers. While the Majin transformation brings benefits, it will also make it easy for humans to identify them.
Of course, physical mutations are not always exclusive to demons, and sometimes, there is a certain chance that humans can deform when they awaken their abilities and become prophets.
However, in addition to the deformation, there are two common characteristics that can make people make judgments, that is, the pupils become bloody, and there is only instinct, and there is no wisdom and reason.
All demons will only open a pair of bloody eyes, act on primitive instincts, killing, destroying, fornicating, gluttony......
That's exactly what happened to the demons who appeared in the Red Light City.
There are three demons in this group, two of them are male and one is female.
Among the two male demons, one of them transformed into a giant about three meters tall at this time, with thick beard, no face visible, only a pair of red eyes appeared, unscrupulously revealing a gaze that wanted to destroy everything.
The giant roared, holding the half-cut stone pillar that he had picked up out of nowhere, and with a slight sweep of his well-developed, almost terrifying arm, it swept away the walls of the surrounding houses.
A hundred meters around him were in ruins. The residents who live nearby have apparently either turned into meat sauce or have long since run away.
Several tall, muscular, leather-clad defenders surrounded the giants with spears and began to attack.
The male demon on the other side also has city defenders around him to intercept it.
This demon is about the same height as a normal person, but his belly is swollen, like a moving water tank, and it is covered with scales. The head of the demon was only visible as a large mouth of blood, and the snow-white fangs inside it were full of snow-white fangs, from which flesh and blood spilled from time to time, and then was rolled up by a snake head that was as nimble as a snake inside, and devoured it again.
The demon was disgusting, but the side was clean, there was no destruction or corpse remains, only a thick fishy smell in the air that made people dizzy. The demon's belly seemed to shrink, and with each shrinking part, the scales on his body grew, and the severe red light became more and more abundant.
The two demons were not close, but it was convenient for the guards to attack.
"Attention everyone, the demon has a powerful regenerative ability, and only if he destroys the vital point of the head will he die. Let's hold them back first to prevent the harm from spreading......"
The captain of this team of guards shouted loudly, and he seemed to have some experience.
The captain was not wearing ordinary leather armor, but a beautiful bronze armor, which looked imposing, and the flowing blond hair, handsome as carved features, dazzling as the sun, were dazzling - if there were any onlookers here, I am afraid that they would all fall for him.
But his appearance can only be seen by the guards under his command and the demons.
No, there was one woman who was intrigued, and that was the remaining witch.
The appearance of the witch is a beautiful female image, with charming facial features, white and greasy skin like snow, and a hemp skirt that can barely cover important parts, almost half-naked, which looks extremely tempting.
Her figure is also plump and graceful, with perfect lines, but there are a few more tentacles on her back, and at the top of each tentacle is an organ shaped like a flower, which is constantly expanding and contracting.
Demons only have instincts, and it's no surprise that the instinct of this female demon is to be happy.
The witch was obviously attracted by the captain, her eyes were bloody, her body jumped, and she came to the captain like lightning in one step, and then her tentacles rolled towards him frantically.
