Chapter 15: The Undercurrent (I)
The outer ring of Sissos is in the Lake Beral area
Wright and Mulder stood silently on the edge of Lake Belal, the blue of the mirror. The two of them looked at the birds that flew by on the lake from time to time, and they didn't know what to think in their minds, and their faces were expressionless.
A fat man with a dark face half-knelt beside the two, sweat streaming from his fat head. From time to time, his gaze glanced a hundred meters away. There were about twenty well-armed men with swords, guarding them tightly. These men are stronger than the other, and their eyes shine with the murderous aura that has been generated by countless battles.
"Lord Wright, Lord Mulder. The villain you mentioned has already been checked, and according to the information, he came to the city of Sisos a month ago with the caravan of the Cretan family in the inner ring city, and it is said that he came to his relatives......"
The fat man raised his head, looked at the two of them, and said cautiously, "But it should be just a disguise." When he arrived in the Outer Ring City, he didn't go to his so-called relatives, and he didn't even leave the house much. After a few days like this, he didn't know how to subdue the local snake Sauron in the Xilin District. ”
"Now, the West Forest District is firmly in the hands of him and Sauron. And, due to the popularity of their recently made glass mirrors throughout the city of Sisos, the status of the West Forest District has surpassed ours in the Outer Ring City. ”
After the fat man finished speaking, he lowered his head, and his eyes flashed with fierce anger. He didn't dare to let the two of them see it, so he could only curse secretly in his heart.
The fat man's name is Reed, and he was originally a small leader in the Beral Lake area, and he was very uncomfortable with a gang of thugs. This guy took a group of people before, and found Wright and Mulder who had just entered the city, thinking that they were fat sheep again, but they didn't want the other party to be a real beast, but instead sent themselves into their mouths.
It was also Mudd who saw that Reed was also well-informed in the city, and it was somewhat useful, so he didn't deal with him.
Even so, Reed was treated like a slave before and after the two of them, and he was already resentful in his heart.
"The two monsters raised it, sooner or later, they and the black-haired boy were both defeated, and the dead bones were gone. ”
The fat man cursed secretly. Strange to say, as far as he knows, there are not a few people who have experienced the same way as him these days.
"What's the news on the city I've brought to your attention?"
Mulder's cold voice reached the fat man's ears, interrupting his delusions.
The fat man's heart sudden, and he almost thought that his thoughts had been discovered. The fat on his body trembled, and he said, "The Inner Ring City is the same as before, there is no big movement. It's just that the outer ring city is not quiet these days, and every day two or three teams enter the city and settle in this city. ”
"According to my brother's investigation, there are at least fifteen strange forces left in this city, scattered in various districts of the Outer Ring City. We have three here in Lake Beral. ”
The fat man continued: "As for the details of these teams, the people below are sorting them out, and they should be delivered by tomorrow night at the latest. ”
Mudder nodded and said, "You did a good job, and it was not in vain that I spared your life." ”
The fat man broke out in a cold sweat.
At this time, Wright suddenly spoke: "What else is there about that black hair?"
"This--he himself lived in seclusion, but there was no movement. But in the past two days, it seems that someone is sending people to buy slaves again......"
The fat man said, seeing that Wright's expression had not changed, he was a little relieved. He already knew that the source of the contradiction between the golden-eyed youth and the black-haired youth was precisely from this "slave".
Mudder waved his hand at the fat man: "You go down and continue to inquire about the news." And no matter what, get a topographical map of the city. ”
The fat man breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly slipped away.
Mulder looked at Wright, with a disappointed expression on his face, and said lightly, "Wright, you want to find trouble with that black-haired young man now?"
Wright was silent, and a little shadow flashed on his handsome face.
"You are the inheritor of the [Blood of the Sun] and one of the chosen heirs of your family. When doing things, remember to weigh the gains and losses. ”
Mulder's voice was low but deafening: "This mission is important to you. The Great Prophet of the Family and your teacher, Master Fred, sensed the aura of a powerful artifact and sensed that it had a mysterious connection with you, so he sent you here. ”
"As long as you acquire the artifact, you will become the true heir of the family. And when the time comes, with the help of the gods, plus your [Sun Blood] true awakening, you will gain an unparalleled glory. ”
"But before you do that, you have to remove all the factors that affect this mission. ”
"However, the black-haired young man could also be the one who influenced the mission. A powerful outsider came to the city at this sensitive time and began to establish his power. All this shows that he will become our competitor. ”
Wright's eyes widened, and he snarled as he vented the anger in his heart.
"Even if he is, you have to understand that at least for now, we are not in a position to clash with him, which would expose our power. ”
Mulder said with a calm expression, and suddenly his brows raised slightly, and his whole spirit was sublimated, full of strong and incomparable confidence.
"When the time comes, I'll naturally help you deal with him. Although the power of the black-haired youth is strong, my power has now broken through and entered a deeper realm. ”
In front of Wright, he stretched out his right hand and pressed it against the void, and there was a yellow light floating on his palm.
Bang!
The ground shook.
Within a radius of ten meters, countless sharp earth thorns poured out, enveloping the two of them.
Wright's anger suddenly subsided, and he turned into surprise: "Uncle Mud, you have stepped into the realm of the [Prophet]. ”
"Yes, I have awakened the bloodline of [Earth Blood], truly gained the power to control the earth, and become a prophet. Mudder waved his hand again, and the surrounding thorns sank again.
The earth swelled, and the square land returned to its original form.
"Prophets also have powers. I'm just getting into this realm now, and it will take some time to settle down and get acquainted with it. However, counting Bailey, we have two prophets in our group. This kind of strength, when the Angels of Sisos City are restrained and unable to make a move, almost occupies an absolute advantage. ”
"So, be sure to get the artifact that appears this time. ”
Mulder was stern. Suddenly, his words changed: "Wright, you have to remember that our family's strength comes from the gift of blood, so you must be cautious. In particular, the [Blood of the Sun] that you carry is incomparably noble and important. ”
"Don't abuse your blood, let alone indulge in femininity. ”
Mulder warned Wright, and seeing that he was silent, he shook his head and turned to leave.
Wright stood on the shore of Lake Belar, with the appearance of a blue-haired girl in his mind, and muttered:
"Uncle Mulder, you're underestimating me. How could I possibly have any thoughts about such an ordinary girl. It's just that there's something about her that draws me in. And I can feel it, it's a huge benefit to me. ”
When he thought of giving up on the girl, a strong sense of loss flashed in his heart, and Wright's heart was like a poisonous snake gnawing at his heart.
For the first time in as long as he can remember, he didn't get what he wanted. And that handsome black-haired young man was the first to give him a taste of defeat and hatred.
"Hehe, although Uncle Mulder asked me not to directly conflict with you, he didn't say that he wouldn't let others trouble you. The kind of glass mirror you created, I'm afraid many people will be interested. ”
Wright pulled out a small turquoise crystal from his bosom and drew a strange rune with his finger on it.
With a snap, the crystal cracked, and a finger-sized translucent turquoise bird flew out and flew up and down beside Wright, making a chirping sound.
"Bring my message to Nile City. ”
Wright commanded. Immediately, the little bird jumped over his head, pecked its beak at the forehead, and after a moment it chirped and flew into the sky.
Watching the bird disappear without a trace, Wright finally had a smile on his face.
At the same time, in an alley in the Beral Lake District.
A tall, athletic white-haired young man said to the two men in front of him who exuded a fierce aura: "You are the warriors of Sola City? Now, you can choose to surrender or die......"
Behind the white-haired young man, two crystal snakes suddenly poked their heads out and spat out letters at the two men. If you look closely, these two snakes are actually made of clear flowing water.
At this time, the air is filled with dense water vapor......
With the exception of Lake Beral, all districts of the outer ring of Sisos are also undergoing changes in the shadows. Many new foreign forces and local forces are clashing, eliminating or merging with each other.
Even, there are some powerful foreign forces that have begun to infiltrate the inner ring city.
However, the major forces in the inner ring city fell into silence collectively.
