Chapter 211: Waste Capital
Xia Yu and his party entered the city in the morning, and Kale City didn't seem to have any defensive power, seeing Xia Yu and the others walking towards the gate, they didn't even have any guards who came to stop them.
While walking Xia Yu looked at this strange city, the dilapidated streets, the old buildings, as the farmer said, this is a deserted city, the forest-like residential streets and alleys, all reveal a kind of dilapidated and decadent scene, most of the windows facing the street are nailed with wooden boards, and occasionally there are no windows at all, revealing a black hole, which is a completely abandoned building.
Between the cracks in the damaged door, a pair of strange eyes peeked at them through the crack in the door, and some residents who described it as withered stood in the shadow of the street in fear, watching Xia Yu and others pass through the gate and go to the depths of the city.
The city feels unusually terrifying, it is obviously a sunny day, but Xia Yu has a feeling of entering a cemetery.
He soon realized that this feeling was not unfounded, and he saw the decomposing corpses lying in the stinking ditches on the side of the street, and the shirtless ascetics, whipping themselves as they walked through the streets, chanting strange prayers that they could not understand.
Xia Yu could feel that there seemed to be a strange force in the air, which made people very uncomfortable, and it was this force that made the city what it is now.
He took off his sunglasses and immediately saw that a golden halo of light floated in the sky above the city, and this energy fluctuation was radiating, constantly spreading into the air.
He remembered the feeling he had felt when he was in the starvation game, it was radiation!
And the closer you get to that pillar of light in the center of the city, the stronger the radiation.
Sure enough, there was a problem! It seems that this Holy Spirit Core will produce strong radiation, what kind of curse is this, it is clearly radiation sickness, is the Holy Spirit Core a nuclear reactor?
He couldn't help but be a little curious in his heart, how could there be such a black technology in such an ancient city? And it's obviously the world background of mythology, how can it be related to scientific and technological products?
To a few of his companions behind him, he said what was on his mind.
The black cat said: "What's strange about this, in the eyes of low-level civilizations, a lot of high-tech is like a god-like existence, and the so-called gods are likely to be caused by people's misinterpretation of unknown things." ”
"Do you seem to understand?"
"That is, I'm a senior runner, usually when running a group, I will give some vague hints, ancient prophecies, legends and the like, usually have some connection with the truth of the matter, the legend of the god of light and the dark snake we heard before, it is likely that the background of the story is hidden."
Dragoon said: "Our goal is to win the race, it doesn't matter what the story is about. ”
"Then you are wrong, if you understand the background of the story, you can better dig into the secrets of the game, maybe there are some hidden elements that can help us win, or unlock the Holy Spirit Core in advance."
They discussed until they entered the ruined city square, when they were stopped by a group of bald priests, dressed in filthy white robes, and trying to make a majestic expression despite their scarcity, bald heads, and festering faces.
Behind them were a group of temple guards in white armor.
"Stop, who are you?" A white-robed priest asked.
"We are messengers of the God of Light, and we have come to cleanse this place of filth."
"Presumptuous, this is the place of sacrifice of the God of Light, and it is the holy place of the Holy See of Light.
Those knights drew their swords one after another, and the special forces behind Xia Yu immediately raised their guns.
Just when the tension was at this point, Xia Yu suddenly smiled, "Hahahaha!" ”
The laughter made everyone a little confused.
He exclaimed, "Ignorant mortals, you have been blinded by ignorance, take a closer look, who I am!" "Phantom - Change!
A dazzling golden light suddenly appeared on his body, and the light blurred the facial features of his body into an unrecognizable piece, and everyone could only see a glowing human figure appear in front of them, this human form was unusually tall, overlooking them.
This is the right skin that Xia Yu spent a night to come up with, to make people believe that he is the messenger of the God of Light, it must be convincing, show a miracle or something, think about it, or it is most convenient to start from the shape, he has considered various appearances, the white-bearded old man with fairy wind bones, and the little golden man who is full of gold, but he is entangled in three, and he still chooses the purest and most direct luminous human form - what is the god of light if he doesn't shine.
At this time, as soon as he revealed his 'true body', the guards were all stunned, and the priests were also dumbfounded, and one of the priests suddenly fell to his knees with old tears.
"Great Lightbringer, we've finally got you!"
I don't know who reacted first, and they all knelt on the ground one by one.
Xia Yu calmly accepted everyone's worship, this feeling is really a bit fluttering, although he is just a messenger, but it is enough, if he really regards him as the god of light, he will really be a little empty.
"Yes, I am the messenger of the God of Light, I have felt the revelation of God to me, and that is why I have come here, I am here to cleanse the curse of this city, to heal you of your diseases, and to take me to the temple! Gather the inhabitants of the city, and I will heal you of your sicknesses and cleanse you from your sins. ”
Immediately the priests led the way and led the people to the temple.
In the shadows of the street corner, a hooded face flashed.
It was a man in a black cloak, running quickly through the alleys, and soon came to an abandoned old house, saw that there was no one around, pushed the door and walked in, inside dozens of ragged dark cultists gathered together, chanting the prayer of the dark goddess.
"Oracle, the enemy has entered the city, there are more than thirty of them, and the leader is the oracle who claims to be the god of light, and now they and those priests of light are going to the temple."
The gentleman who was munching on dry food nodded, "I know, go down and continue to investigate."
Unexpectedly, more than 30 people came, the gentleman was a little helpless, he originally planned to do a ruthless vote, if he could take advantage of the enemy to enter the city to raid a wave, even if ten lives were exchanged for one life, as long as two or three hundred people were replaced, he would make a big profit, but more than 30 people were replaced and a little lost.
After a moment's hesitation, he decided to ask for instructions.
took out a black crystal ball, rubbed it twice, and soon there was a picture: "Sect Master, the expeditionary force has entered the city, but there are only more than thirty people. “
This is the True Knowledge Crystal, 50,000 for one, a total of two for a total of two, in fact, it is a communicator, and the gimmick of adding an artifact costs 50,000, which is too dark. But there is no way, the exchange list on the Imperial Army's side is too rubbish, it is all written about cold weapons, war horses, grain and grass, etc., only some of the ones that are related to the Dark Goddess are still somewhat useful.
The sect leader nodded: "It seems that the travelers are more cautious than I thought, continue to lurk, don't startle the snake, our army will arrive tomorrow, and then we will determine the next plan." “
