Chapter 11: The Town of the Wicked
Let's turn back the clock.
In a small shop, Ant-Man Dean is anxiously waiting next to the authentic exit. Why did Lord Biles suddenly want to replace me, I have done such a perfect job in the past ten years.
Isn't it just that the book is not good-looking? I've paid double my filial piety every year. I don't believe the newcomers are as capable as I am. Hmph, maybe without my help, the new kid won't even be able to stand in the town of the wicked.
Yes, that's how it should be. I'm going to sit on the sidelines and watch that new joke.
As Dean pondered quickly, there was finally movement in the tunnel. A sick seedling with a bride in red? And a little girl walked out.
Dean's expression quickly changed to a flattering smile. "This is Mr. Lin, right? Little Dean had cleaned up the shop as Mr. Biles had ordered. ”
"Yes." Looking at the empty shelves in the store, Lin Ke nodded with satisfaction, and casually rewarded him with a piece of honey candy, "Good job." Your name is Dean, isn't it? Go and make me a signboard, and it's called the Witch Alchemy Hut. ”
Want me to help you? If you want to eat fart, I'll drag you a ...... Well, wait. This is fire streak honey!
Dean had the most sincere smile on his face, "Yes, sir. The small ones are now designed by craftsmen in the logistics department. ”
He burrowed neatly into the tunnel. No way, the other party gave too much.
Hotaru on the side felt a little magical. Aren't we supposed to struggle to survive in a foreign land? Why are you going to open a store all of a sudden?
Looking at her ignorant appearance, Lin Ke patted his head, "That's right, Xiaoying." There's something I want to tell you. ”
"Brother, you say." There was a little uneasiness in the tone of the little girl, who had been quiet.
"Don't be nervous. That's right, you see all the way, you also know a lot of my secrets. I'm sure you won't betray me, but for a little girl like you, there are so many ways to get you to speak. So ......" Lin Ke began to take things out of his body.
Hotaru silently handed him a notebook, "Brother, your notebook." ”
"Yo, clever." Lin Ke took his notebook and opened the contract he had written in advance on the ship, "Let's sign a contract." ”
This familiar scene made the witch blurt out, "You don't even let go of children." ”
Xiao Ying's face was hesitant with two parts, three parts disgust, and five points helpless, "Brother, I'll sign." But can you wait for Hotaru to grow up a little more? ”
Lin Ke: "...... Go, go, what are you all thinking? I'm not interested in the little broken kids. Last time that meant it, don't believe me. Aggrandizement. ”
The platinum book reappeared, a line of familiar words on the blank page.
[Encounter the tide of psionic energy, strengthen and enhance by 100 times]
The source energy is reduced by 1000 points, and the contract on the notebook is detached from the paper and reorganized into a new contract in mid-air.
[Red Luan Nakshatra Knot]: A contract under the double blessing of the stars of fate. The sky is full of stars, all of which are red luans. Nakshatra knots are divided into knots and ten-sided red stars. The contract is a red luan star, which can obtain the power of the blessing of the stars, opening up an ability for it. Multiple Hongluan Stars can open the Hongluan Star Array.
Hotaru: "......"
Lin Ke: "...... If I say it's a coincidence, do you believe it? ”
Witch: "...... Hehe, the Red Luan Star of the Ten Directions? ”
The spiritual power was surging in her body, and the rich power of resentment almost condensed into substance, and Hotaru felt like she was facing a volcano that was about to erupt.
Lin Ke dragged Hotaru out of the doorway, and behind them, cyan flames erupted from the door and window.
"Phew, escaped." Lin Ke's legs were a little weak, and the little firefly beside him trembled, "Brother, what should we do now?" ”
"En......" Lin Ke thought for a while and wrote a contract in his notebook, "Xiao Ying, this is a master contract. The main thing is that you have to keep my secret. When you are spooked, the power of the contract will automatically erase the memories of me from your mind. And my obligation is to nurture you to become a talent. ”
Hotaru decisively bit her finger and pressed her fingerprint on the contract, "Teacher, where are we going now?" ”
Go on the road! Lin Ke nodded in satisfaction and habitually shouted reinforcement, but he hesitated as soon as he opened his mouth.
Forget it, forget it, it's not appropriate to strengthen it recently. Putting away the contract with an expressionless face, Lin Ke waved his hand, "Let's go, the teacher will take you to increase your knowledge." ”
Soon after, Ant-Man Dean returned, "Mr. Lin, are you satisfied with this design?" I had the craftsmen from the logistics department rush out. ”
As soon as he got out of the tunnel, he was stunned. The small shop, which was once full of furniture and shelves, is now empty, except for a bride in red standing in the middle.
"Excuse me, can I trouble you with another set of furniture?"
Lin Ke took Hotaru to really step into the town of the wicked, and was greeted by a thick bloody aura and the towering stone pillar in the middle of the town. Lin Ke knew that it was actually a sword hilt, and the reason why he came to Wicked Town was because of it.
Hotaru, who was in the bloody air, was a little uncomfortable.
She looked around, and the streets of the town of the wicked were bustling. All kinds of characters shuttle through it, and the streets are occupied by various stalls on both sides, and the shouts full of life come and go.
"Selling steamed buns, fresh human meat buns, just baked."
"Deep-fried elbows, full of color, flavor, and flavor."
"Human eye grilled skewers, bite down without bursting pulp and no money!"
"Slaves who have just been scrapped, disembowelment on the spot. Whoever wants meat comes quickly. ”
Hotaru watched as a butcher wearing a mechanical skeleton activated the chainsaw in his hand, and on the cutting board was a young girl who was twitching.
Buzz, chainsaw cut down, flesh flying. The stall owners were excited.
"Leave the legs to me." "The eye is mine." "Blood sausage, I want blood sausage."
It was so cruel that she couldn't help but want to throw up.
A white handkerchief was handed to her, "Little sister, are you not feeling well?" Let's listen to the doctrine, our bishop is preaching in front, and listening can be blessed and the sickness dispelled. ”
Hotaru looked up blankly, and the person in her eyes made her pupils shrink suddenly. Isn't the young lady in front of you the one who just lay on the chopping board?
The young lady warmly pulled her away. Hotaru looked at Lin Ke at a loss.
"Let's go, let's take a look." Lin Ke patted her shoulder and followed the young lady. Hotaru can only follow.
The master and apprentice followed the young lady to the square in the middle of the town. A simple platform was erected here, and a woman who looked like a bishop was speaking about the high trough.
"The butterfly god will be reborn in the flames, and all believers will have eternal life with His awakening!" She lit a blazing fire with her hands and lit the cross on the high platform. The woman on the cross looks exactly like the young lady who led the way.
"Believers in God, the flame will take you to His kingdom."
"The flame will take me to the kingdom of God." The woman in the flames smiled reverently, and her divine power exploded in the firelight. Hotaru, bathed in the flames, felt warm all over her body.
In the confusion, a door of light opened in front of her, and a voice told her that she could walk through it and lead to the eternal kingdom of happiness.
"Wake up!" Lin Ke's low drink pulled her back to the world.
To her horror, she noticed that the people around her were smiling reverently as the sacrifices on the fire.
"Don't be fooled. It's just the magic of the priest. Well, a priest of one of the transcendent professions. ”
