Chapter 15: Tragedy Underground

The darkness in front of me kept spreading forward, as if it never ended. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 During the info period, Lin Ye and the four of them encountered several forks, and the little boy would stand there every time to guide them to continue walking, continuing to walk towards a darker place.

The dark and long road was depressing and tiresome, and at last the path led by the little boy came to an end, with only a dilapidated wooden door ahead. Francis opened the wooden door vigilantly, but the expected danger did not appear. It was just a lounge with a square wooden table, and a few pickaxes and some miners' clothes scattered on the floor. Lin Ye approached the wooden table, and on the dusty tabletop, the word "devil" written in blood was heartfelt.

"Big brother, you're finally here with me. The little boy appeared beside Lin Ye at some point.

Even if the four of them were not afraid of the identity of the little boy's ghost, they couldn't help but do this, Lin Ye wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said, "What are you trying to tell us when you brought us here?"

The little boy looked at Lin Ye with a smile and pointed to a wall, "There are all the answers to what you want to know, big brother, inside." ”

Lin Ye didn't see anything special about that wall, he wondered if there was some mechanism on the wall, so he touched it with his hands. As a result, he suddenly felt empty, and a stumbling body actually went through the wall. The three of Francis suddenly became tense, and Amy rushed straight over.

"Don't worry, big brother is fine, uncle, come too. The boy said to the three Francis, and he got into the wall as well.

Francis's face darkened, "How did I become an uncle?

Hela couldn't help but laugh, "Teacher, don't worry about a ghost, follow up and see if Lin Ye is okay." ”

Francis glared at Amy, who was snickering on the side, walked up to the wall, and tentatively touched the wall with his hand, and then his hand disappeared, as if the wall did not exist at all, and what he saw was only a phantom. Francis withdrew his hand, looked at it and sank into the wall altogether, followed by Amy and Hela.

The space of the wall is extremely large, and the three of Francis are on a high stone staircase, looking down to a square that can accommodate thousands of people at once. It is illuminated with a fluorite-like substance, which is better than nothing despite its limited brightness.

Lin Ye and the little boy stood sideways side by side a little in front, but Lin Ye looked a little sluggish.

"What's wrong with you, big brother?" asked Amy as she stepped forward. Lin Ye didn't answer, Amy followed Lin Ye's gaze, and her body trembled uncontrollably. There lay a black, pressed humanoid body, and the fluorescent light showed the characteristics of some ghouls, which were identical to the black ghouls that had attacked the two men last night.

Francis and Hela also saw it, and Hela tried to ask, "Where did these black ghouls come from?"

"They're all residents of Nightrain. The little boy's pale face was full of sorrow.

"How could it be ......" Hela couldn't accept the tragedy in front of her.

The little boy turned around, stretched out his right hand, and said, "Take me and put your hands on it." ”

The four hesitated, but did so. The little boy closed his eyes, and white points of light emanated from his body, and soon these points of light enveloped the crowd. The vision began to blur, but soon it became clear again. They were still on the stone steps, but there were a lot more people around.

They tried and found that they could not speak or move, and could only look at everything around them with their eyes open.

Suddenly, a little boy crossed the wall in the midst of a crowd of people, and it was the ghost boy who had led them here!

The little boy still held the wooden sword in his hand, and he asked a man in chain mail behind him curiously, "Father, what are you doing here?"

The man's eyes were slightly red, and he looked like he had just cried, "Tom, everyone is here to prove that the gold mine that has made our Yeyu Town prosperous and rich was born again. ”

"That's great! Aunt Emma doesn't have to worry about running out of gold as long as she has a gold mine jewelry store, and Uncle Jack, who crafts gold-encrusted weapons......"

Tom said many names as he walked up the stone staircase, and it was obvious that he cared about everyone in the town. Soon, they came to the center of the square, and Lin Ye and the others suddenly moved here, only to see a person standing there with his hands raised, not knowing what he was muttering. This person was wearing a black robe, and the robe was embroidered with a burning flame, because he was wearing a hood, Lin Ye and they couldn't see this person's appearance clearly.

"It's almost time, let's hurry up and start the ceremony. The black-robed man said, unable to distinguish a man or a woman from his voice.

"Master Alchemist," Tom's father said in a low voice, "Can you ......?"

"Captain of the Guard, do you want to stop the revival of Nightrain Town?" the black-robed man interrupted.

"No, it's not...... I just wanted to spend a little more time with Tom and say a few more words. The man's hand gripped Tom's shoulders tightly.

The black-robed man said coldly, "Every time you delay for a while, the town may not be able to return to its former prosperity. ”

"Don't be reluctant, Tom is for Nightrain Town!"

"Sacrificing one of them can be exchanged for a hundred years of prosperity in Night Rain Town, what a bargain!"

"Start the ritual, start it!"

......

The surrounding townsfolk kept roaring and roaring.

"Father, what do they mean by that?" Tom looked at the crowd's somewhat distorted expressions, a little frightened.

The man was a little dazed, not knowing what to say or do, and finally two guards stepped forward and pressed him to step aside.

The black-robed man drew the dagger from his waist and stabbed Tom in the abdomen, and warm liquid poured out of Tom's abdomen. The black-robed man pulled out the dagger, and Tom's body shook a few times before he fell to the ground weakly and convulsed.

"No!!!!" the man shouted in a hoarse voice.

He broke free from the two guards, drew his sword and slashed at the black-robed man with a roar. The black-robed man showed a sneer, opened his left palm and faced the man, and he could see a magic array drawn on the palm, the magic array flashed with blue light, and the man's body suddenly stopped there. The black-robed man jumped forward, grabbed the man's sword-holding hand and wiped it around his neck, splashing bright red on the ground.

The black-robed man put away his dagger and said contemptuously, "The captain of the guard disregards the interests of Yeyu Town, and the obstruction ceremony has been corrected on the spot, do you have any objections?"

"He is innocent!"

"Alchemist, let's get started, we can't wait to sleep with the gold!"

......

The words of the townspeople made Lin Ye and the others more and more chilled, but unfortunately they couldn't do anything.

The black-robed man didn't speak again, and pressed his hands to the ground, and there was a blue light surging on the ground in an instant, and this square was a magic array!

Tom's body melted away like ice and snow surrounded by a large amount of blue light, and the blood on the ground disappeared, and a golden light took Tom's place.

"Haha, is that the gold about to take shape!?" the townspeople's eyes were filled with greed.

The golden light gradually solidified, but it did not conjure up a large amount of gold as people imagined, and the golden light began to burn, burning very violently, very similar to the flames on the clothes of the black-robed man.

"Lord Asolus, the great evil god, according to your instructions, the magic circle has been arranged around Nightrain Town, please use your power to begin the final preparations for the destruction of Ion!" said the black-robed man in a loud voice.

As the words fell, the head of a demon with horns emerged from the flames, and he opened his razor-like teeth of the flames, and with a "boom" spewed endless hellfire from his mouth. The townsfolk around them didn't even scream, and they turned into charred corpses, and after a while the charred black became smooth and looked extremely hard. At this point, the townsfolk all turned into black ghouls, swaying to their feet and roaring, but the pained expressions could be seen on their faces, which were very vivid.

The man did not become a ghoul, but after his body floated and was swept away by the flames, the chain mail on his body turned black, his eyes turned red, and the sadness on his face turned to a touch of cruelty.

The demon's head was gone, the flames were still burning, and the black-robed man shot a blood-red sword into his hand with a single move towards the flames.

He put his sword across his chest, looked at the man, and said, "From this day on, you are the first apostle of greed under the throne of the evil god Asolus, and I will give you the name Grede!"

The man took the sword and knelt on one knee, "Do as you are told." ”
