He had just been arrested and had undergone "severe" torture. In theory, Lin Yun should have a good rest.
It's just obvious that that's impossible.
Because I sensed it was a shapeshifter.
Some people who need to be handled by Lin Yun have been dragged away, and as a result, they have not been dealt with until now.
So Lin Yun could only get up early in the morning and start meeting some guys.
It could be seen that a Kelid man wearing a worn traveling robe and a dark hood bowed respectfully to Lin Yun.
His voice was calm and without any emotion: "Hello, Commander. It is a great honor to be received by such an important person. Your victory left a deep impression on me and inspired me. Therefore, I hope to contribute as much as possible in this holy war."
The visitor's tone was very calm, sounding as dry as flipping through a book, without any trace of humanity.
It made Lin Yun feel more like a robot.
Lin Yun subconsciously looked at Hunyuan on the other side.
Hunyuan shook his head slightly.
The least that can be confirmed is that the other party is not an undead.
After all, in front of the plague bird, the dead and the living can be seen clearly, but Hunyuan's expression made Lin Yun feel that it was not that simple.
The man in black robe did not see Lin Yun's small movements, but continued to speak calmly, "My name is Vergo, and I am a Kelid. My lineage can be traced back to the period of the Sakuli clan. For my family, The bonds between kin are always sacred. My ancestors fled Sakhori when the Wound of the World emerged, but they did not forget their homeland. Even before the Holy War began, my great-great-grandfather fought to protect us The people declared war on the devil. He died on the battlefield, and everyone died." He said, paused, as if he was recalling.
“My great-grandfather and his eldest sons fought in the first jihad, and my grandfather fought in the second. Our family’s warriors fought in every jihad, and because of that, our bloodline has been severed. Everybody Said, this will be the last jihad. So I came here, alone, because I am the only one left. Even though I am not a fighter, I still hope to help you." Vergo's words had no emotion whatsoever. The colors, extremely monotonous, seemed endless.
Inexplicably, I feel a bit chatty.
"For the past twenty-three years, I have been trying to collect information about Sakuli, and many of them mentioned the history of the Blackwater clan. This clan was attacked by demons because the clan members at that time planned to create some kind of powerful weapons to fight the Worldwound. They needed more time to build the weapons, but their neighbors did not come to their aid, and the Blackwater clan was destroyed by the demons."
"However, the fate of that clan is no longer important. What is important is that on some ancient maps, I found the location where the clan once settled. As long as you go there, you will know that what I said is true. . If you can still happen to find a few weapons that can help you fight against the devil, I will feel satisfied and proud. In this way, I also have a purpose in life."
"Blackwater Clan? Have any of you heard of such a thing?" Lin Yun finally found a chance to speak, and then looked at the others.
"No."
"No."
"Maybe we should ask the researcher Nie Niu." Leon suggested.
"Do you think there will be anything there?" Lin Yun asked directly as he was too lazy to disturb Nie Niu and the others.
"I can only make a guess about this matter. Perhaps it is a powerful blade powerful enough to kill the demon lord; perhaps it is an artifact that can summon countless spirits; perhaps it can reverse the flow of time, or from the plane of existence Directly erasing some kind of headband of the invader. The Blackwater Clan has always been secretly manufacturing weapons to prevent the results from being discovered by traitors, and they also do not want to attract the attention of demons before the time is right. Unfortunately, such things always make people worry. "
"Sounds like a trap?" Lin Yun narrowed his eyes and said.
His expressionless, paper-pale face twisted into a strange look that resembled an apologetic smile: "I am a scholar. I know how to communicate through manuscripts. I am more willing to communicate with a quill than express my thoughts with my tongue. Social networking is not an area I am good at. So, I hope you can understand my poor communication skills. As for whether it is a trap, I can only say, Commander, you will know after looking at it. I hope you can end this holy war. , drive those demons out of this world.”
With that said, he left towards the back.
"What do you think?" Lin Yun looked at the others.
"Like you said, it sounds like a trap." Nero said, shrugging.
"That guy is not a human being." At this moment, a parrot standing on a special bird stand in this room said.
Just like the raven that disguised itself as Hunyuan before, sometimes it would disguise itself as a parrot and stay on a bird stand on one side.
"Not a human?" Lin Yun raised his head and looked at the plague bird.
"You can't say that. Well, this guy gives me a very strange feeling. Some parts of his body have the breath of life, but some parts of his body don't. But it doesn't feel like the undead transformation. To put it simply, It's just weird." The plague bird flapped its wings and said with an unhappy look.
"Is it possible that it's like a prosthetic limb?" Thinking of the way the guy felt like a robot just now, Lin Yun suddenly thought of the possibility of transforming people.
"Well, it's possible, but that guy's body is basically stuffed. If it's all prosthetic limbs, then that guy probably can't really be considered a normal creature." Plague Bird said with a somewhat disgusted tone.
"It seems that guy still has a lot of things to say." Nero spread his hands and said.
"Isn't this a matter of course? But it might be worthwhile to go there. If there is such strong technology there, you might get some firearm support there." Lin Yun subconsciously looked at the blue roses around his waist. .
Because when the war apprentice threw the blue rose to Lin Yun before, he seemed to have said that the blue rose was an imitation of the design drawings found in some ruins related to Sakoli.
"Oh, if that's the case, that would be great. I have wanted to change weapons for a long time." Leon said with a smile.
"Your Demon-Repelling Holy Flame will cry." Hunyuan complained.
"You also want your remote support to be more powerful, don't you?" Leon said with a handsome smile.
"Tch." Nero curled his lips, looking at the face that looked similar to Dante's, feeling inexplicably unhappy.
And just when Lin Yun and the others were talking about it.
Another person also came forward.
It was Ms. Kizumi from before, and she came with Dailan at this time.
"Commander, upon hearing of your victory in the Battle of the Zealot, many leaders in Avistan wanted to support the Holy War more actively. Fighting against demons in the name of saving the world is an honorable cause, especially in this... When you have the upper hand in the war." Just like before, like an elegant lady, Mu Zhimin, with the head of a fox on her head, said in a neither humble nor condescending manner.
"To translate, those guys think you are weak, but you seem to be lucky, so they want to come here to grab some credit and get some gold by the way." With a smile that said, "I'm just here to cause trouble," Dai Lan, an expert in official language, said.
"Among the countries that extend a helping hand, the first one to be accepted will improve its status on the political stage. Because of this, all forces are striving to form an alliance with Montevi earlier than their opponents. Nerozion has already We have made a favorable choice, Yizga. We have maintained a long-term alliance with that country. Now the capital hopes that you can send a letter to the regent of Yizga, asking him to formally support you." Completely ignoring the fact that Dailan next to him has already If it could be called troublesome, Ms. Kinomi continued in a calm tone without blushing or beating.
I just don’t know if this is because Kinominomi’s endurance is really good or if he has ulterior motives.
This time, Dailan still maintained a joking smile, "To put it simply, because you performed well, this time Montevi used you as a condition to attract those countries to hire us, and finally chose this country. Listen. , Prince Regent, you can taste it carefully.”
"Hire? Regent?" Lin Yun raised his eyebrows slightly, already roughly understanding what was going on.
And listening to Dailan and Mu Zhishi singing like a double act, the people behind them were almost laughing.
However, relying on his powerful skills, Kinoshima remained calm and continued in an extremely calm voice, "However, there is another reason for forming an alliance with them. Yizga is the protectorate of Cheliax. In such a powerful country Under the protection of their overlord, they lack neither resources nor soldiers. By establishing a friendship with Yizga, we can strengthen our ties with a powerful neighbor to the south. The great value of an alliance with them is undisputed."
"Translated, it means that Izga is a younger brother. Because of Cheliax, they basically have nothing and no right to speak. They can only rely on the elder brother. Now, they want to increase their own right to speak through us. ." Dai Lan said with a smile.
"Izgar is the protectorate of Cheliax, and Andoan and Cheliax have a long-standing feud. For the Andoans, the highest values are freedom and equality, and For the Cheliaks, it's order and hierarchy. It's as if the two nations were created to fight. The fact that they are both aligned with the Mondivi doesn't stop them from settling old scores whenever they get the chance." Ms. Kizumi is still calm, but it can be felt that she seems to be suppressing something. . . .
"Well, this issue is more complicated. To put it simply, because of the Wound of the World, Montevi has certain alliances with these two countries, so it is not suitable for the position. But what you say is a little bit inappropriate. Same, after all, you are now in charge of a strong army, and at the same time, you can show off your skills in this holy war." Dailan continued to translate.
"Brother Shen!"
"Um!"
When Shen Changqing walks on the road, whenever he meets someone he knows, he will say hello or nod to each other.
But no matter who it is.
There was no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they were indifferent to everything.
To this.
Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, there are also some other side jobs.
It can be said.
Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.
The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.
Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.
Then he will be promoted step by step, and he is expected to eventually become a guardian envoy.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.
Possessing the memory of a previous life.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.
Unlike other places in the Demon Suppressing Division that were full of chills, the attic here seemed to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppressing Division.
At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.
Enter the attic.
The environment changes in vain.
The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, making him frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.
There is almost no way to cleanse away the smell of blood on everyone in the Demon-Suppressing Division.
