Chapter Twenty-Three: Encounter Again
Eloth's charm is really extraordinary, and in less than two days after she woke up, she has established a good relationship with everyone under Sutum. With her there, Sutum vaguely felt that the people below seemed to be working more energetically.
Of course, he is happy to see it happen.
Having such a girl by his side is also a pleasure for Sutum.
During this time, the Force fluctuations caused by the fetish gradually subsided as if they had never happened. The various forces are also very calm, and there is no movement. Of course, Sutum knew that this was just the calm before the storm, and the calmer it seemed, the more dangerous it was. After this turmoil, I don't know how many people will die and how much hatred will be aroused.
"Maybe the more people die, the happier Flo will be. Death triggers hatred, and hatred stirs up the birth of more hateful Force. The demon who is in charge of hatred, the source of power is indeed easier than that of me, the [Mirror Demon]. ”
Sutum occasionally thinks of this, and unconsciously feels a little envious. Fortunately, several of his abilities are not bad. Whether it is [Mirror], [Analyzing Everything], or [Crimson Fire], if it is used well, it is also an extremely powerful force. Compared with manipulating hatred, it can be regarded as having its own advantages and disadvantages.
"Sue, what are you thinking? It's time for us to go. ”
Eloth snorted, and Sutum was awakened by a gentle and beautiful voice. She was no longer dressed in white at this time, but was wearing a plain linen dress. Her hair was tied with a rope, and her face was pounded with a few times by Shia, and it looked like an ordinary and ordinary face. The whole person is like an ordinary girl next door, and no longer has the kind of posture that can attract anyone at a glance.
"I can't see that this little girl Xia still has this kind of means. ”
Sutum secretly began to suspect this little girl, but in fact, she didn't look so ordinary on the outside.
"The predecessors of the traverser picked up a little girl casually, they are all beautiful women in the future, could it be that I am an exception? Thea, this little girl, will definitely not be able to escape this rule. ”
Sutum judged to himself.
Hearing his words, Eloth smiled mischievously and said, "There are many things you can't see. ”
"It's not so easy for girls without strength to live in this world, and Thea doesn't know how much she has endured to learn this art of disguise. ”
"Disguise?" Sutum shook his head and said solemnly, "This should be called 'makeup', one of the highest secret techniques of legendary girls. ”
Around Elos, Sutum always seems to be unable to control himself, doing things that make others look weird in terms of language and behavior.
Eloth first showed a hint of doubt, then seemed to sense something, and said angrily: "I'm talking nonsense again." ”
"Let's go, say that you can accompany me to the inner ring city, don't waste time. ”
There was a hint of brutality in her expression.
Changing her clothes and disguised her appearance, Eloth seemed to have really become a simple girl.
"Perhaps, that's what she's really like. ”
Sutum thought.
"Yu Yu—"
A black steed snorted and neighed, as if it had waited impatiently.
It rubbed its huge horse's head against Sutum, and then let out a breath of heat. The heat touched the big tree that was tied to it on one side, and turned a few leaves into a charred yellow.
"Good fellow, Brian, you're getting better. ”
Sutum patted his horse's head with a satisfied expression. After taking substance from his demonic power and turning into black light, he used his demonic power to comb and transform the horse again. This transformation is essentially to use demonic power to infiltrate the horse's body, so that its body is strengthened under the pollution of demonic power.
As a result of this strengthening, Brian's body became stronger. Its height has also increased by a bit, reaching a height of almost three meters. With its streamlined body, strong muscles, and fur that increasingly resembled black flames, it looked like a terrifying wasteland beast.
In addition to these, its eyes turned from brown to pure black, and there was a taste of wisdom in them.
Brian could even understand some of Sutum's complex commands.
Hearing his words, Brian suddenly raised his front legs, looking extremely happy.
"Good, obedient. ”
Sutum said, putting his arms around Eloth's waist, and at the girl's exclamation, he took her and jumped onto Brian's horse, shouting, "Man, let's go." ”
After saying that, he waved his hand and cut off the reins. The horse neighed, and the wind rushed towards the gates of the inner ring city.
The strength of the Xilin District is now greatly increased, and even without Sutum in charge, almost no one dares to provoke it. That's why he went to the Inner Ring City with her at the request of Elloth.
The inner ring city is not as loose as the outer ring city, and the management of entering the city is extremely strict.
Sutum led Eloth to the gate of the city, and saw a long line of snakes waiting for those to enter the city.
Generally, strangers who want to enter the inner ring city must go through a series of identity checks and registrations, and pay a certain amount of entrance fees. If you want to settle in it, you have to pay a large amount of city tax, and you can live in the designated area for a long time before you can really move freely after it is deemed safe. The whole process is very cumbersome.
Although the procedures are complicated and costly, it is worth it for the average person. After all, entering the Inner Ring City is truly free from the threat of the wasteland, not only will there be no terrifying monsters, but there will also be a lot fewer violent organizations.
Sutum, of course, would not have gone through such a complicated procedure as ordinary people would. In his hand was a family token given by Ahrens, with which he could easily pass through the gates of the Inner Ring City.
Ahrens' Cretan family is one of the largest families in the city of Sisos, and its founder, Crete, was one of the patriarchs of Sissos and had many privileges in the Inner Ring.
Their family's unique token token also has a part of the privileged rights.
After showing the token token directly to the captain of the guards guarding the city gate, the captain's eyes suddenly became respectful, not only let them enter the city directly, but also almost prepared to arrange a guide for them to guide them in the city, which can be described as a comprehensive service.
Sutum didn't ask for a guide, but when he left, he gave the captain a bag of bronze shield coins, which was regarded as a courtesy, which made the captain smile and be happy.
"You're going to buy people's hearts. Eloth snorted softly in his ear, "The captain of the city guard is not a good man, he seems to be respectful, and after you rejected his kindness, the thoughts in his heart are also dirty. But as soon as this copper coin was given, his mind became much more comfortable. ”
"Hehe, yes. ”
Sutum nodded and said, "No matter how great the authority is, it is no match for the interests in hand, and the performance of this captain is really normal." ”
"I gave him a little sweetness, reassured his heart, and it would be much easier to find him to do something if he needed it in the future. ”
Eloth glanced at him suspiciously, and said, "I'm getting more and more interested in your origins, and the demon doesn't have as much thought as you do. ”
Sutum smiled: "What do you think demons should do? The truly powerful demons are masters who know people's hearts, and casual actions will make you fall into their trap." My mind is as childish as a child compared to theirs. ”
Eloth seemed to think of something, and stopped talking.
The streets of the Inner Ring City are wide and clean, with rows of tall stone buildings lining the streets in all directions. It's a little old, but it looks very comfortable.
Many of the world's technologies are ancient, but this is the technology for building cities and houses that has developed very quickly. The rows of neat buildings made Sutum feel in a trance, as if he had returned to the era of civilization.
Because I just entered the city, it is still on the outskirts of the city, and there are relatively few people on the street.
Even so, Brian, who looks like a monster in the wasteland, has attracted the attention of many people. Many passers-by frequently turned their eyes sideways, curiously looking at the black horse and Sutum on its back.
Sutum's handsome appearance secretly surprised these people, and it was presumably followed by doubts about his taste. What he was holding in his arms was not a stunning beauty, but a girl who was not a few dirty, which made them secretly feel pity.
Compared to the previous Red Light City, the people of the inner city of Sisos are undoubtedly much more proud and confident, and their behavior is more casual.
Neither Sutum nor Eloth paid any attention to the gazes of these people, they just rode their horses slowly, wandering around.
Originally, only some people with special status could ride horses in this city, but Sutum's bearing made people have no doubt that he had this qualification.
"Where do you want to go?"
Sutum asked.
Eloth shook her head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, let's talk about it for a while." ”
Sutum doesn't matter either.
He hid his demonic aura so well that even if he went to the center of the city, he wouldn't think he would be discovered by an angel. Moreover, he knows more and more about angels, and even if he is discovered, he is sure that he can escape by taking cover from the people here.
In the city, guardian angels are more bound than demons, and if they hurt mortals too much, they can easily cause the effect of Fall.
While strolling through the streets, Sutum was also familiar with the situation of the city.
His glass mirrors had become widespread in the city, making it easier for him to obtain information in the city.
After a while, he even knew the name of the street he was walking on, the names of more than half of the residents in the surrounding area, their temperament, and the functions of the surrounding buildings.
After walking for a few more moments, Sutum patted Brian and stopped.
He saw an acquaintance.
He didn't notice it, and Eloth's eyes suddenly sharpened, and there was a faint hint of shock in them.
The acquaintance was a chubby middle-aged man, richly dressed and with an extraordinary bearing, accompanied by several strong warriors. At this time, he was holding a handsome girl with blonde hair and blue eyes.
The girl's eyes were dripping, very flexible, but there was an extremely aggrieved expression on her face.
The middle-aged man and the girl were none other than Ahrens and Doria whom Sutum had met before.
The two and Sutum were walking opposite each other.
Soon, they saw Sutum on horseback.
"Sue?"
Ahrens gave a look of surprise.
Faster than he moved, Doria broke free of his arm, shouted cheers, and lunged towards Sutum.
