Chapter 320: The First Demigod
Beckland, Pacefield Street.
At the secret request of the Church of the Night, the police cordoned off part of the road and did not allow anyone to enter.
Hazel, who had been vetted by the Church of the Night to confirm that she was not parasitized, led a whole team of night watchmen into the sewers and went to the excavated passage in her mouth.
As he passed the fifth corner, Hazel stopped and pointed ahead:
"There's a secret door right up front."
"Captain, I'll go."
Leonard Mitchell muttered as he looked at the mossy and corroded walls in front of him.
The man Leonard called Captain looked to be in his thirties, with a straight nose and gray eyes that gave an indescribable depth, like a lake in an ancient forest.
He wears a black trench coat and red gloves in the uniform attire of the night watchman, and it is none other than Dunn Smith!
He glanced at the team members who seemed to be casual on the side, but his eyes were full of solemnity, and after a moment of silence, he bowed his head slightly:
"Stay safe."
"Okay."
Leonard said yes and got up and walked to the wall at the end of the sewer corner.
When he turned his back to the crowd, his expression was no longer as solemn as before, and his heart was full of thoughts.
At Tingen, Dunn was only a Sequence 7 'nightmare', although his strength was comparable to that of some Sequence 6 due to his extraordinarily extraordinarily strong absorption. But it was also because he had absorbed too many extraordinary characteristics, which caused his state to be very poor, and the progress of potion digestion was also delayed again and again, making it difficult to be promoted for a long time.
However, in that incident, Dunn Smith was a blessing in disguise, his potion was quickly digested, and he was promoted to the 'Requiem' of Sequence 6 shortly after joining the Red Glove, becoming a 'deacon'.
And as the months passed, his potion was quickly digested through playing. Coupled with his exploits during his fifteen years of service in Tingen, he successfully obtained the Sequence 5 potion and was recently promoted to the rank of Sequence 5 'Spirit Witch'.
It took him three years to go from the sleepless to the midnight poet, and nine years to go from the midnight poet to the nightmare. And it took three years from Nightmare to Sequence 6, and it was only with the help of 'Resurrection from the Dead' that I was able to digest the potion, otherwise I don't know how long it would take.
And with the help of the cosplay, it only took him seven months to go from Sequence 6 'Requiem' to Sequence 5 'Spirit Witch'!
In contrast, although Leonard is now a Sequence 6 'Requiem', his potion digestion is still far away. And even if he completes the digestion of the potion, his exploits will not be enough to exchange for the potion of Sequence 5 'Spirit Witch'.
Leonard saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. Therefore, he desperately wanted to accumulate merit quickly, at least when he finished digesting the potion, and he didn't have to worry about the potion of Sequence 5. Because of this, he will not miss any opportunity to accumulate meritorious deeds.
And now his self-reported courage will undoubtedly make him be deliberately recorded, so as to obtain more merits than others-
Although it is not much, the merits given for nothing should not be in vain, after all, there is no danger in this errand.
Although the church took this very seriously and sent a whole team of red gloves to deal with it.
But Leonard knew there was nothing dangerous here.
After all, this is the angel of Ember himself, how can he still leave danger for those who have finished up on them?
Click!
According to Hagiel's previous account, Leonard successfully found the mechanism to open the secret door.
With a slight noise, push open the secret door on the wall, and a tumbling burst into it!
He was guarding against possible attacks in the dark, even though he knew there weren't.
Dunn and the others followed, rushing through the secret door. The Extraordinary Beings, who were almost all sleepless, saw in their eyes that there was no difference between night and day, and they did not have to worry about not being able to detect a sneak attack from the darkness.
As they passed through the fans, they were greeted by a semi-natural, half-artificial cavern, with shovels and other utensils wrapped in tarpaulins on the ground, piled with a large amount of earth and gravel, and two hidden passages that extended diagonally downward.
Protected by the Night Watchman, Hézel pointed to the right and reminded:
"The one on the right."
Leonard and Dunn glanced at each other, stepped forward and stood at the entrance of the passageway, stunned.
Because what appeared in front of him was not the narrow passage that Hazel had dug ten meters deep, but a bottomless deep tunnel!
Leonard's pupils constricted, and he became a 'sleepless' vision. Excellent eyesight even in complete darkness. In Sequence 6, the Extraordinary of the 'Sleepless' path can easily see the scene thousands of kilometers away in the dark!
But now, this tunnel can make him see the end at a glance, and this tunnel is at least thousands of meters, if not deeper!
And judging from the smooth incision on the tunnel wall, this is clearly just a casual blow from the other party!
If every blow has this kind of power, then how terrifying must it be for the angel to strike with all his might? And what makes Leonard even more puzzled is, which way is the angel of Ember?
The old voice in his head also sounded, and his tone was filled with deep confusion and incomprehension:
"It looks like the Eulogizer and the Liberal Scholar path, but neither of these paths is possible...... But are there similar capabilities in other ways? ”
With the strength of any one of the angels, it would not be too difficult to achieve similar destructive power, it was just that the abilities they used were different.
And in the impression of Parles Zoroaster, the way to cause destruction with embers should not have similar extraordinary abilities in those paths, right? Isn't he the extraordinary one of those paths?
Dunn Smith looked at the deep tunnel and said slowly:
"Report it, it's not something we can handle."
Leonard nodded solemnly, but in fact, his heart was extremely relaxed.
With such terrifying destructive power, there was absolutely no chance of the demigod of the thief's path surviving.+ The only problem is that the tunnel is so long that it probably runs through the subway in Beckland, so it can be a bit of a hassle to deal with it afterwards as they need to check the subway lines around the area.
Of course, they don't need to go out in person, they just hand it over to the police.
Hazel asked weakly in a whisper:
"What about me?"
Dunn looked at the anxious girl and said:
"You can go home."
"Home?" Hazel suddenly felt like she was in a dream, something so big had happened, and she was just letting her go home?
"Yes."
Dunn bowed his head lightly and explained:
"You've been assigned to the night watch now, and you'll be told the details of your visit to St. Samuel's Church early tomorrow morning. As for now, you can go home first and explain it to your parents so that they don't worry. ”
Hazel pursed her lips and explained? How could she explain it?
She couldn't tell them what had happened to her, so she had to make up an excuse.
——
At 160 Berlund Street, Klein stood on the balcony of his room, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, sipping from time to time.
In Klein's sight, a long cordon had been drawn up on the street not far away, several police carriages were parked outside the cordon, and more than a dozen policemen surrounded the street and did not allow anyone to enter or leave.
Anyone who sees this scene can realize that something must have happened on that stretch of road. Luckily, Klein's house was far away, perfectly avoiding the blockade, so he was able to stand on the balcony and observe the movements not far away.
Klein also had some speculation in his heart, and thought silently:
"It's obviously something to do with that Miss Hézel."
Miss Hazel had been sneaking into the sewers in the middle of the night, most likely caught by embers. Ember took action himself, and the demigod had no chance of escaping.
And the reason why Miss Hazel turned herself in to the Night Church this morning was probably the result of the embers' 'following the temptation', so there were official extraordinaries of the Night Church to come and finish it.
These police blockades of the streets are actually to cover the actions of the night watchers. There is a saying that when you want to cover up something, you have to use a bigger thing to distract people, which has achieved the purpose of covering people's eyes, which is called the proximate effect in science.
Although such a large-scale operation will inevitably cause panic among the residents of Berklund Street, the police will certainly do a good job of reassuring them in advance.
By tomorrow morning, the newspapers will probably run headlines along the lines of 'Police Catch Serial Murderer in Berlund Street Sewers,' which will both reassure the public and give a reasonable explanation.
Klein was already quite familiar with this process, after all, he often disguised himself as a police officer to handle cases when he was on duty in Tingen, and often used similar news to cover up the facts afterwards.
Of course, the police will certainly not directly move out MP Makht and his daughter, but will only say that it is information provided by 'well-informed people'. In this way, the family of Congressman Makht will not be implicated, singing, dancing and dancing, and everything will continue as usual.
The only problem is that this Miss Hazel has seen Ember for what he really is, and Ember is most likely not in the habit of disguising herself before getting down to business, so Hazel must know who caused all this.
And as the 'culprit' who brought Ember to the banquet, Dwayne Dantès will definitely be focused on by Hazel.
But that's not necessarily a bad thing.
A rich man who is good friends with the Church of the Night, or even knows some insiders, can better integrate into high society.
——
Beckland, Queens, a luxury villa for the Earl of Hall's family.
Audrey, who had led Susie for a walk through the garden, had just returned to the hall when she saw her father, Earl Hall, come in from outside, with an unconcealable joy on his face.
"Dad, what's going on?" Audrey asked with concern.
It was the most basic observation, and she didn't have to hide anything.
Count Hall smiled and said:
"Alfred has finished digesting the potion, and he will be promoted in two days."
Audrey knew in her heart that although Alfred was very talented, the potions in Sequence 5 were not so easy to digest, even if he had the ability to play them. But in Audrey's 'dream world', the process can be greatly accelerated.
Not only were the low-order extraordinaries cultivated by the family able to digest potions with the help of the dream world, but even Alfred and Hibbert benefited from it.
Of course, in terms of the progress of the exploration of the 'Dream World', Mr. 'World' is still far ahead.
The low-level Extraordinaire can't even defeat the 'Ash Inquisitor' Guda, and can only obtain a pitiful number of 'souls' by killing those geists day after day. Among the Extraordinaries in the middle sequence, most of the Sequence 6 Extraordinaries are trapped in the 'Bordeaux of the Cold Valley', while Sequence 5 is trapped in the 'Cursed Tree' or the 'Crystallized Old Man'-
This premise is that they have mastered the skills taught by Mr. 'World', otherwise even the 'Ash Inquisitor' Guda will not be able to defeat them.
However, although the skills taught by Mr. 'World' are quite practical, allowing them to kill the incomplete demigods in the dream realm in the middle sequence. However, the difficulty is still very high, and it is difficult to succeed without sufficient combat quality.
After all, those demigods can make countless mistakes, but as long as they make one mistake, they will be killed by these demigods, and there is no chance of turning the tables. Even Audrey herself is now trapped in the 'Crystallized Old Man' stage - she has died at the hands of the Crystallized Old Man no less than ten times.
In contrast to them, Mr. 'World' has already arrived at the Farran Fortress, slain the Outliers, and instead began to explore the secluded church.
And since Alfred has completed the digestion of the potion, it means that Alfred has killed the 'Crystallized Old Man', plus the demigods he defeated earlier, he has obtained more than 1 million souls, which is just enough to speed up the digestion of the Sequence 5 potion.
The girl's eyes rolled slightly, and she deliberately 'curious' asked:
"Why two days, can't you be promoted now?"
Count Hall shook his head and explained:
"Potions are readily available, but the royal family still has to prepare for the ceremony."
After a pause, Earl Hall continued:
"Although I don't know what the ceremony is, according to Alfred, the ceremony is very demanding and cannot be arranged in advance."
Audrey had a look of clarity in her eyes, but she was thinking about something else.
In fact, she can now be promoted to Sequence 4, and she has no shortage of extraordinary traits or potion recipes.
The only problem now is that Calula asks her to slow down as much as possible to become Sequence 4-
Because the current dream realm is not yet able to carry demigods, once she becomes a demigod, she will not be able to enter the dream world, and this restriction will not be opened until the first 'Salary King' is brought back to the fire sacrifice ground.
In other words, you have to wait for Mr. 'World' to defeat the first 'Salary King'.
Mr. 'World' is progressing fast, but it will be a long time before he defeats the first salary king. Although Audrey is not so eager to improve her strength, if Alfred can become a demigod, it will undoubtedly be a good thing for the Hall family.
