Chapter 16: The Undercurrent (Part II)
"Bang"
Black light flickered, and a bronze sword shattered in Sutum's hand.
"The sixth. ”
With a sneer on his face, he waved his hand and gathered the wreckage of his weapons in a corner and moved them to the corner. Immediately, closing his eyes, a vague outline appeared in his mind of the scenery within a radius of two hundred meters. With the effect of demonic power, this part of the scene slowly becomes clear, and the most realistic scene is restored.
His demonic talent requires the help of objects such as "mirrors" to see a scene about a kilometer or so, and he can only see the scenes reflected in the "mirror". However, if it was only a distance of two hundred meters around his body, he could directly use the power of the demon to strengthen his mirror eyes and see clearly.
In a lush grove, high above a large tree, a figure was hiding among the leaves, secretly watching the small building where Sutum was.
The figure was small, covered in leaves, with only a pair of sparkling eyes exposed.
"Lord Rhodes asked me to keep an eye on this man and gather information about him. But he didn't come out at all, and stayed in the secret room all the time, what do I think of that?"
The figure muttered in the tree, angry and frustrated at the target.
As a natural eyesight man, he has been responsible for collecting information on various target people for the team, almost without any disadvantage. But this time, the goal made him almost helpless. Except for the occasional meal time, when the target would appear, he spent the rest of the time in a secret room without even a window, and he couldn't see any movement, which made his talent completely helpless.
"Wait another half a day, and if this person still hasn't moved, I'll leave and tell the captain about the situation. ”
The man made a secret decision.
In fact, there was still a little thought that made him dare not continue to snoop. That is, this black-haired young man made him feel inexplicable fear.
The other party is unique, with black hair and black eyes that he has never seen before, as if he is the embodiment of the whole darkness, full of mysterious and strange charm. In his hometown, black is the color of the devil, and it is not clear what to talk about.
Moreover, as far as the figure knows, before him, there were also spies from other forces who came here. In just a short period of time, these people suddenly disappeared, and no news was sent back.
These two points have already linked his target to the legendary demon.
"You're looking for me?"
The figure was thoughtless, and a low, magnetic male voice rang out in his ears.
His heart contracted violently, and he pretended to be calm, "Who?"
"Huh. ”
In the void, the target's handsome smiling face suddenly appeared, with black hair and black eyes, and eyes that sparkled.
The figure pulled out a short thorn like lightning and pounced on the smiling face. Only then did he jump into the air, his body froze suddenly, and two black flames appeared in the opponent's black pupils and burned violently, and the more they burned, they were reflected in his eyes. In a trance, he felt as if the black fire had burned to his soul. A sharp pain and dizziness struck, and the figure fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string.
In the secret room, the black light on Sutum's body went out.
He walked out of the room and commanded a gray-haired boy, "Tuka, find two guards, go to the place where you last time and bring someone over, and lock them in the dungeon." ”
This gray-haired boy is quite handsome in appearance, and he has a sense of agility. It was the owner of the Prophet's bloodline that he had brought from Sauron before, and was almost taken away by the old savage. Since the last time he was almost taken captive by the old man, the young man has been staying on Sutum's side, obeying his orders.
Tuka nodded obediently, went out the door, gestured to the two strong male guards, and left the residence.
The boy has done this action five times in the past two days, and he is really familiar with it.
Talos was ordered by Sutum to take two strong men to the slave camp. Tuka was also sent out. This small building was a little deserted for a while.
Sutum looked a little irritated inexplicably.
As the shock of the Force became more and more violent, many unfamiliar forces appeared in the city one after another. Originally, this had nothing to do with Sutum, but unfortunately many forces took the initiative to target him and carried out various temptations.
This made Sutum unbearable.
The demonic power boiled in his body, and countless negative emotions poured into his heart like a tidal wave, trying to break his reason.
Sutum firmly controlled his anger and killing intent to prevent himself from falling into some kind of extreme **.
Demons, restless all the time.
"Master, there is a map of the city of Sisos sent by Lord Sauron in the study. You've been in the room and haven't had time to watch yet. ”
Xia's timid voice sounded behind Sutum, like a basin of cold water poured on him, allowing his mood to return to normal in an instant.
He turned his head with a gentle expression: "I know, it's hard work for you to take care of Eloth these days." ”
The girl's expression was a little apprehensive.
At this time, her originally sallow face turned a little pale, and there were still wet sweat dripping down her forehead, as if she had spent a lot of energy.
Sutum's brows furrowed, a little confused. After a pause, he just said: "Xia, with me, don't be afraid, nothing can hurt you." ”
"Also, those medicinal herbs sent by Sauron, you can make two copies when you make the decoction in the future, one for Eloth to take and one for yourself. ”
The girl nodded, gave him a grateful look, and fled back to her room like a rabbit.
In Sutum's perception, the fear in Xia's heart was slowly growing, and even had a tendency to be uncontrollable.
"I have to find a way to get rid of the fear in her heart, I can't let her go on like this. ”
Sutum pondered.
Ordinary people may die suddenly or go crazy when their emotions are out of control, and the impact is not great. However, if a person with a strong fire of life loses control of his emotions and falls into extremes, there is a certain chance that he will have a situation of self-sacrifice, turning his soul into nourishment and integrating into his body, turning himself into a demon, and destroying everything around him.
As a prophet bloodliner, Sia not only has the potential to awaken a prophet, but also has the potential to turn into a demon. Sutum didn't want to buy a ticking time bomb for himself.
The power of the demons is actually not to be underestimated, they can call it the unfinished product of the demons. Compared to demons, demons also have powerful bodies and strength, but they do not have the ability to communicate with the Force and cannot obtain immortality. At the same time, they only have instinct and no intelligence, and just let the ** of the body destroy everything.
However, if any demon can regain his wisdom and condense his own concept, he can truly evolve into a demon.
When he was in Red Light City, the reason why those demons attacked Sutum was to devour him, take away his concept, and become a real demon.
If a bloodline person like Thea incarnates a demon, he is even more powerful than an ordinary demon.
Shaking his head, Sutum put aside this thought, with him, Xia would not have a chance to turn into a demon at all.
When Sutum returned to his study, he saw a piece of vellum paper on his desk, which was supposed to be the map of the city of Sisos that Sauron had sent.
The map is crude, just a few simple lines, but it's still easy to read. It also depicts only the topography and architecture of the outer ring city, and there is no part of the inner ring city.
That's for sure, with Sauron's ability, it's impossible to actually get a map of the Inner Ring.
Important places are marked on the map. Suddenly, Sutum frowned again, only to find a little blood stain on the map.
The blood stain landed on a certain piece of terrain on the map, obscuring the markings on it.
"It's Shia's blood. Sutum sniffed, "I guess I accidentally broke my finger and fell on it." ”
"Luckily, it's not a big deal, and she doesn't need to be afraid. ”
Sutum shook his head, took the map in his mind, and then put it away and put it on the bookshelf.
At this time, he sensed that a strong man under his command was hurrying towards here, with an anxious look on his face.
"Huh?"
After a few moments, he waved his hand and opened the door to his study.
A strong man came in sweating, knelt down in front of him and said, "Lord Sutum, Talos has been taken away in the slave camp. ”
Sutum's eyes were suddenly as sharp as a knife, and the murderous aura that had just been suppressed resurfaced.
