Of course, compared to being all monsters, there is no decaying place for normal humans, and there are not only demonic monsters who are dangerous on the Soul Mist Continent. The contractors who also enter this world and the strong people in this world are hidden threats.

A magnificent city with thick walls that arched the city with battlements, cannon holes, and watchtowers. Outside, it is often surrounded by rivers, and people can only enter the city by crossing a drawbridge, and the city gates are heavily guarded.

In this city, in the early morning, the trumpets sounded and the gates were wide open; At midnight, the gates were closed, and no one could enter or leave. Ten years ago, it was the capital of the Kingdom of Venus, known as the Ivory Tower Kingdom, but it was not like this. But when the gray and white fog that swept across the continent ten years ago brought about a demonic crisis, the connection between countries was cut off, and everyone was in danger. The atmosphere in the country has become much more severe.

Every city that Venus still controlled became a fortress of war. This is Zilut, the capital of Venus, which is already considered lax, and the front-line cities are even more dangerous. Sometimes even your own colleagues can't be trusted.

Zilut was divided into an outer city and an inner city, with the outer city being a place where the common people as well as the poor lived. The outermost circle is the slums, which are very crowded and crowded.

The streets here are narrow and crooked, lined with buildings one after the other. Some are as high as four or five storeys, and these buildings tend to be staggered up and down, with the upper floors protruding above the lower floors; The roofs of the opposite houses on both sides of the street almost collide, so that there is no sunlight, and it looks very dark.

The road was full of filthy garbage and flying dust, and when it rained, it was a quagmire.

Most of the houses were made of wood, and the roofs were covered with thick wheat straw. Because it takes a lot of time to make a fire with flint, after the "flame-out" bell is struck, you don't dare to burn the fire at will, it is easy to cause a fire, and it will be dark here.

Civilian areas are a little closer to the inner city, which is slightly better off than the slums. The houses are neatly planned and the streets are slightly cleaner.

The only wide part of the outer city is the market. It's a large open space. The market is surrounded by the city council, shops, cloisters and stalls. Trials and executions of prisoners are also held here. During the festival, there are many opportunities for people to talk and ask for news.

The inner and outer walls are not barriers, but heights. The inner city was built at a height of several hundred meters above the outer city. The outer city is like a village guarding the foot of the mountain, while the inner city is condescending. In the inner city, most of them are aristocratic royal families, and the life and outer city are heaven and earth. "Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road" is more than enough here.

The inner city has two of the most conspicuous buildings, one is like a tower, the palace where Queen Kelly VII and her descendants are located. The other is the church. The structure of the inner city is based on the principles of convenience and beauty, and the streets radiate outward from the center of the city, forming a polygonal plan conducive to defense. Churches and palaces are set up at the central point, and the whole city is composed of various geometric shapes.

The vast palace is centered on itself, symmetrical from east to west, and the central axis is flanked by large and small buildings, woods, lawns, flower beds and sculptures, and the overall layout is unified, balanced and spectacular.

Lin Jiu faintly heard the sound of some nobles walking together and singing after drinking.

"The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the flowers in the backyard across the river." Lin Jiu commented softly, he didn't feel anything, after all, it was not his country that was going to perish. Moreover, death can occur at any time, and people are not allowed to indulge in indulgence. If the nobles of the entire kingdom were like this, then it would be convenient for him to act, which was obviously impossible. Venus is still standing in the face of the spread of thick fog and the attack of demons, which already shows that there are many capable people.

Lin Jiu rubbed his eyebrows, and some unfamiliar memories surged in his mind. These memories were not instilled in his head, but looked at them in the form of flipping through them, and it felt like watching a movie, but the movie was very long and a little trivial.

"What bad luck!" Lin Jiu sighed, he didn't need to memorize, judging from the environment he was in now, he knew that it was not good.

Lin Jiu was in a dim and narrow cell at this time, surrounded by walls, only one door and one window, a faint light penetrated through the narrow window, the muddy walls were covered with mottled stains and bloodstains, the damp dirt floor was uneven, a layer of unkempt thatch was spread in the corner, and the air was filled with a pungent musty smell.

Whether it is the blood stains that cannot be erased on the wall or the pitted walls, they all tell the pain and struggle of those who were once locked up here.

It was another prison entry, but Lin Jiu was still wearing a black uniform with golden wings embroidered on his chest, which showed that it was not an ordinary prisoner's treatment. Outside, the voice of a passing nobleman could be heard, and he was clearly not in the Kingdom prison. After reading the memories of his identity, Lin Jiu also understood what the situation was now.

His faction is the Church of Mill, which has a long history and inheritance. The leader of the Mill Church is called the Holy One, and under the Holy One is the Presbyterian Church. It is said that a long time ago, the elders of the Council of Elders were called Venerables, but now the only elders who can be called Venerable may be the Great Elders. As for the Leader Sage, it has been empty for many years, and the Mill Church is now controlled by the Great Elder.

The regular structure of the Mill Church consists of the leaders of the saints, the presbyterians, the priests, the deacons, and the laity. The priest, the teaching of doctrine and the administration of the liturgy, is commonly known as the priest. Deacons are administrators who assist elders and priests.

In addition to the regular structure, there is also the violent institution, the Church Order. The Knights of Mill wore a semi-friar-like garment, and the armor of a knight was still worn underneath the cloak. Their weapons are no longer didactic, but swords and spears.

The Order is strictly centralized, with the supreme chief and the head of the regiment, and then there are commanders and stablesmen. Normally, the head of the Mill Knights should be directly under the orders of the Sage, but now they do not have a current Sage in the Mill Church, so they are controlled by the five elders of the Presbyterian Church. Among them, the existing "Venerable" Great Elder directives are the mainstay.

And he Lin Jiu was not a member of this violent institution, but a priest, and a chief priest of a high position. What is the concept of this position, that is, it is only under the presbyterian church of the Mill church.

Before entering the world, Lin Jiu wore the title of [Light of Hope]. The Mill Church he is currently in may have been a great power for a unified civilization, but now it is weak enough to trigger the title effect. And it was the church power that entered, and Lin Jiu naturally changed the title of [missionary].

[Light of Hope] plays a role, and how can he be a prisoner who was once in a high position? After reading the memories, Lin Jiu naturally knew that although he was at the beginning of his imprisonment, he was not a prisoner, but was noticed by the Venerable Great Elder that he might be conducting soul research in private, and specially sent him here to calm down.

That is, the Great Elder was already doubting his identity as a soul researcher. According to the hints of the Reincarnation Paradise, the danger of this identity being exposed is not low.
