Chapter Thirteen From Afar (thirteen)
From Oro's perspective, he naturally could not detect the situation behind him, but Durham, opposite him, could see clearly.
The strange Alkin man in the tavern suddenly disappeared. He was not teleportation or invisibility, but he could still feel his existence.
Dawule was a little dizzy. It was the first time he encountered such a strange situation.
Generally speaking, this should be called invisibility, but he resisted this adjective. The person did not use some method to hide his body. How should he describe it? It was as if what he saw was not the person's face. It disappeared just because it was the shell of the "human" and merged with the air...
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Dawule's mind, and the shocked and unexpected expression on his face finally became clear.
Yes... If it were him... he... hey... he should have guessed it long ago, but it was impossible to make a conclusion because of some uncertain factors. No matter how strong the Dawn Knight is, there is still a risk to come alone. How could the Grand Priest make such a stupid decision that makes the higher-level believers almost commit suicide? The pioneer with only one person is clearly a bait. If you cannot get the exact evidence, even the Dawn Sect will not be able to openly intervene.
"Fred!"
Dawule suddenly shouted, and Neham was already wary of the mage casting spells, but he did not want to give the city lord who had been disarmed by him the chance to escape.
Taking advantage of the momentary distraction of the Dawn Knight, Fred activated the teleportation array engraved in the ring. Two white lights flashed by one in front and one behind, and he and Dawule disappeared.
Unlike short-range teleportation, long-distance teleportation cannot be interrupted once it is turned on. Link is not strong enough to forcefully interrupt, so he can only watch the two of them slip away.
"You actually let them run away." Neham looked at another mage whose feet were lifted off the ground in displeasure.
Oro, who was breathing poorly, noticed that the knight's eyes passed by him and landed behind him. Even an idiot could guess that the middle-aged man carrying him was an Alkin-like appearance.
"You can only catch big fish with a long line. Even if you put old Nax in Hornheim, you can't shake the foundation of the slave trade." Link ended his qi and showed his figure.
Oro regrets his wrong estimate.
Damn it! If it weren't for Fred and Daoule, I wouldn't have lost the opportunity to escape. If I had known that they were unwilling to fight, why would I have to fight stubbornly to the end?
Only eyes could move in his body, and his gaze kept scanning back and forth between Neham and Link.
These two people who dislike each other are more like enemies than companions.
"Only a few were caught. The others ran away." Vera threw three unlucky guys who failed to escape, and was not very good at controlling their strength. One of them even broke his leg bones and lay on the ground and wailed. Without waiting for Link to say something, Vera, who followed him, threatened not to shut up and broke her other foot.
The cages stacked together have been forcibly destroyed by violence, but most of the slaves imprisoned inside did not run out immediately, and only looked at the culprit of the riot with fear and helpless eyes.
This scene made Neham frown. He knew why these people refused to come out of the cage. The long-term imprisonment had caused them to lose their hope of restoring freedom. More importantly, few slaves had successfully escaped for decades. Therefore, they only thought that this was just another riot, and it would eventually be calmed down.
"The Chenxi Sect also contributed to the reason why they were like this."
Link found a breakthrough with sarcastic ridicule, "What did you say?!"
"Isn't it? In order to keep Hornheim neutral, the Morning Sect, which has always regarded itself as a guardian of order, knows what is going on here, but still pretends to know nothing. You are not qualified to blame Nex."
Neham held the light blade in his hand tightly, and his body trembled slightly from his anger.
"What? Isn't it true?" Link raised his eyebrows and shook Oro in his hand. "Or, do you want to learn from this idiot to kill me?"
Neham turned around and walked towards the slaves who were still unwilling to leave the cage. He did not look at the corners of Link's slightly raised mouth and disdainful eyes, fearing that he could not control himself, so he fought with Link.
Vera looked at the knight's back and sneered, [The hypocritical guy. I really don't understand why Doyle respects such a hypocrite?]
[As the overall situation is forced, Hornheim would not dare to do such a thing if he had changed his period.] Link couldn't get along with Neham, but he also knew in his heart that it was helpless for the Chenxi Sect to turn a blind eye.
[It is the one who is not firm in this position, that is hateful! If they can stick to the doctrine they boast about, Doyle and I don’t have to become like this now.] Vera hates the seal of the morning light. She would rather not be born than be half-crippled like now. Haha... She is not even as good as half-crippled, and she also has to share a human body with Doyle, limiting her true power.
Not wanting to arouse Vera's more dissatisfaction, Link did not continue to go deeper on this topic. Of course, more factors are that he feels that many people are moving closer to the cave through well-connected underground waterways.
Has the alarm system been triggered...Link glanced at the mage with stiff face and dripping eyes, "Don't think that helpers can turn the situation around. No matter how much waste comes, it's just a moth to the flame."
Oro swallowed his saliva nervously. If he had been lucky before, then he would have no delusions now.
During the teleportation, he activated the agency set up in the market. In addition to the mercenaries hired at high prices, the city lord also had an agreement with the underground gangs and refugees in the city. In addition to providing all the information from outsiders, he also had to assist in suppressing people when someone made trouble. The cooperation between the two sides has been quite pleasant, but today it is an exception.
People holding weapons kept pouring into the cave from the underground waterway. Link estimated the number. Although it would not change the situation, it was quite troublesome to deal with it. He didn't want to fight one by one by one by one. He would just use a more deterrent spell to stop it...
Not at ease with Vera, afraid that she would kill a large area of things, Link decided to do it himself. Before the spell could be cast, Neham, who was standing in the middle of the cave, raised his hands and made a praying move.
Uh...what does this guy want to do? Pray at this time?
[Open the barrier quickly!] Lorelai, who was becoming increasingly silent, suddenly warned.
[Why, he still couldn't help it. Did he want to clean up even me?] Link teased.
【Not for you!】
Link was stunned for a second, then realized that the demon dragon belonged to the night. Even the descendants produced after the division were still the evil dark camp and the enemy of the God of Light Chenxi. In the state of being sealed, Vera could hardly resist the divine power from Chenxi.
Just as he wrapped Vera with his divine power, forming a close-fitting protective barrier, Neham suddenly burst out with a dazzling bright light, and his whole body was like a strong light bulb. Link subconsciously squinted his eyes, and suddenly heard Vera in the barrier crying in pain. When he looked back, he saw that her face was pale, her hands were wrapped around her, her eyes were straight, as if she was enduring some pain.
[No, let them get it back! Vera is a complete demon clan, and most of the power is sealed and cannot resist the purification of the morning light.]
Lorelai rarely used such an eager tone. Link realized that something was wrong, let go of the mage in his hand and helped Vera who had fallen to the ground with both hands.
[Can you hear it? Exchange it quickly!] Link Zhiweila has a stubborn temper and tries not to use a commanding tone.
Unable to withstand it, Vera had to follow the advice and exchange it inside and outside. Doyle, who is half human blood, is indeed a little better. Although she still feels very uncomfortable, she is out of danger.
"Why is that boy going crazy..." Unexpectedly, the mage did not take the opportunity to escape. Link, who breathed a sigh of relief, subconsciously glanced at Oro, curled up in a ball, rolling on the ground, scratching his hands around his body, as if he was suffocating, and his face had turned into a pig's liver.
[What is the purification of this morning light? Is it the same as the one I have ever used?] If you don’t understand, you have to ask. Link asks Lorelai, who is a living library with rich knowledge.
[In essence, the effect of purification is linked to the original position of the gods. Take the purification you perform as an example. Since the clergy of Isol, one of the four pillars, is life, can bring the accumulated souls of the dead for thousands of years back to the flow of life and reincarnate. The clergy of the dawn is light, and it is also a symbol of order. The effect of purification becomes to punish evil. The more chaotic the camp is, the greater the damage it will be. This is also the reason why I let you open the barrier. Unfortunately, your camp is neutral and can only barely protect yourself and cannot give more protection to the demon dragon.] Lorelai spent a lot of verbal explanations to Link.
Link was secretly annoyed when he heard this.
As a high-level believer, Neham must know the effect of the Morning Light Purification Technique, but this guy is not ruthless in using it. No wonder there is an extreme "Justice of Justice" as the Revenge Army.
Although he had killed someone with his own hands, Link could not be indifferent to life. Just as he wanted to do something to interrupt Neham, the light on the Dawn Knight suddenly disappeared. In the blink of an eye, the cave returned to its original darkness. The gangsters and refugees who came to support lay all over the ground, twitching and rolling or screaming with all their might. In contrast, Doyle felt nothing.
Neham turned around and looked at Link, and both saw displeasure and obvious hostility in each other's eyes.
The cave that became chaotic because of the arrival of the gangster became silent. The silence did not last long. Someone stood up tremblingly and asked in a trembling voice like his body: "Who are you?"
"The Knight of Dawn, on the order of the Grand Priest, cleared the slave market that had been entrenched in Nax City for many years." Neham's voice was unhurried and stern. (To be continued...)
