Chapter 54 Hiding into Backlund
Diana Palenque is a night cultist with a special status.
She is from the Southern Continent.
To be more specific, she is from the East Balam royal family. In order to avoid trouble, she has concealed her real surname. Her full name is:
Diana Palenque Eggers!
She is a relatively less evil member of the royal family in the splintered "Spiritual Cult". She is a descendant of the Eggers family in the Fourth Age, and a true royal princess with extremely rare blood of the "Underworld Emperor".
Because of some secret cooperation, he changed his faith and joined the "Church of the Goddess of the Night."
After waiting for more than an hour, Diana already understood what Archbishop St. Anthony meant, but she did not choose to leave. Her eyes flashed and she remained silent for a while, but she still said:
"The prophecy has gone awry, chaos has come to Backlund, maybe..."
Before she could finish speaking, the surrounding light suddenly disappeared, as if being swallowed up by the darkness of the room.
In the entire church, all the praying believers felt the arrival of darkness for an instant.
Soon, everything quickly returned to normal.
Archbishop Saint Anthony continued to pray quietly.
But Diana has disappeared.
There was only a quiet murmur that seemed to be absent and dissipated in the dark night:
"Send Ms. Diana back to the church..."
Meanwhile on the other side.
Backlund, the East District where the poor gather.
Maric, who had changed back into a vest and white shirt, hid in the night. After walking around in circles for several times, he came to the sewer again. Ignoring the obstacles of darkness, he gathered the cold air under his feet and walked on the sewage. After taking three steps, he melted with one step.
Use this method to cut off your own traces and head to your destination.
After turning seven or eight turns, he touched a drying pipe that was half a person wide and turned over directly to enter.
After walking forward, falling, stopping in mid-air, grabbing the edge of the hole in the dark wall, turning over and crawling in less than a hundred meters, I encountered a metal door. I skillfully touched the buckle and pushed it open, and then entered.
In a small room lit by candlelight.
The interior layout of the room is very simple, with only a bed made of wooden boxes, a set of tables and chairs, and a row of shelves.
And near the corner of the wall, as well as in the soil holes dug in the ground.
After closing the door smoothly, Maric took out two glass reagent bottles from his pocket and walked to the bed. He helped Envi, who had become sick again, uncork the bottle and put the medicine into his mouth and said:
"This is the 'pharmacist''s medicine, just drink it and you'll be fine."
Envi also opened his mouth obediently and allowed Maric to pour the potion in. He did not waste the drip even though he was in pain and wanted to stick out his tongue.
Sensing that Enwei's condition had indeed begun to improve, Malic looked around and asked:
"Has Sharon gone to Elemental Dawn?"
Feeling that his weakness was receding rapidly, Envi shook his shoulders and neck, as if he was trying to squeeze out the decay accumulated in his bones, and said happily:
"Well, there is a party over there today. After all, everything you do in Backlund costs gold pounds, and you also need to expand some interpersonal relationships. How is your contact with the local gangs here?"
Maric found a wooden box and sat down, shaking his head and saying:
"It's a bit complicated. The only connections we know so far are the Intis Intelligence Agency and the Aurora Society. There are also many gangsters with no clear background and clean backgrounds that are almost non-existent. For the time being, I have contacted a few fairly important brokers.
Let’s see what happens next.”
Hearing that this was the case, Enwei was also a little troubled.
Coming to the completely unfamiliar Northern Continent, there are too many problems to face.
The pursuit from the Indulgence sect, the real-life survival problems, the subsequent promotion of his own rank, and the future of the entire Temperance sect made the 11-year-old Envi feel confused.
He is the child born of his mother who gave up her extra extraordinary characteristics in order to become a demigod.
He is a born Sequence 7 "werewolf".
The reason why he is still in Sequence 7 is not that he cannot be promoted, but that this sequence is not suitable for him.
The "Alien" pathway, even if it is just a Sequence 9 "prisoner", will seriously corrode the spirit of living beings. Envi can survive until now only by relying on a magical item that can shield the spirit from corrosion. Therefore, a problem has also arisen
, he grew up almost as a normal baby and became a child with a free spirit and a kind heart.
There was no problem with this.
But he is a born "werewolf", so there is a problem.
Because of the revelations obtained through divination, members of the Temperance sect of the "Rose School" considered this a test and did not end his life early.
Therefore, since he had to take off magical items at the age of 9, Envi has been suffering from the "curse" all the time. Even in the past two years, he has not grown at all. Just because of the werewolf curse, he often needs external help, otherwise
They will lose control because they are unbearable.
In this case, let alone endure the more extreme living zombie curse.
He is resisting this extraordinary path.
Unfortunately, he had no choice.
This time he followed Maric and Sharon to escape. If it weren't for his shortcomings, his companions would not have been in danger several times. In Byam, he clearly felt his own death, and saw the two of them trying to heal themselves.
He would rather risk staying, and he felt extremely guilty.
If he hadn't met the mysterious Arthur, he wouldn't have dared to imagine the final result.
Sensing the boy's troubles, Maric unexpectedly showed a faint smile and stroked his little head with his palm.
Nothing more was said.
When they were sent to the vicinity of Backlund by Sithorn, they all suffered injuries of varying severity.
The incorporeal soul of the victim and the zombie with amazing defenses only suffered minor injuries, but the werewolf with strong recovery ability endured all the damage and almost fell into death.
The two people were filled with bitterness and had no time to complain about Sithorne's unreliability.
He immediately dealt with the traces at the scene and left with the seriously injured Envi. Only after relying on the note to contact the members of "Element Dawn" in Backlund did he truly settle down.
They chose to create a safe house before activating any communication lines the organization might have maintained.
By getting to know Backlund, a country with a population of over five million.
They gave priority to excluding the North District where the Backlund Parish Headquarters "St. Samuel's Church" of the "Church of the Night Goddess" is located. Having lived in the Southern Continent dominated by the "God of Death" belief since childhood, the "Church of the Goddess of the Night" is definitely the last place they want to come into contact with.
One of the orthodox churches.
Then exclude Queens and the Western District, which have the best security and strictest supervision.
These two districts belong to the nobility and top wealthy businessmen, and the former is more inclined to the Queens District.
After excluding several relatively chaotic areas such as factory areas, dock areas, the East End where poor people gather, and Backlund Bridge, they didn't have many choices.
One is the Hilton District, which has the Backlund Stock Exchange, clearing house, futures center, seven major bank headquarters, various trust funds, various railway companies, and various bulk cargo trading companies. It is known as the Kingdom of Loen.
Economic, commercial and financial center;
The second is the Jowood District, where there are many small companies and many residences.
The flow of people in these two areas is very large, and the security is relatively good, making it easy to hide.
After careful consideration, they rented a house in the Jowood area, where the rent was relatively cheap, using the status they purchased from Element Dawn.
Put it in the open as both a bait and a trap.
Then they built a safe house in the chaotic East District where the poor gathered, on the outskirts of Backlund, and at the bottom of the Tusok River. If they were not worried that too frequent actions would cause trouble, and lacked a sense of security, they might have left the safe house alone.
