Of course, compared to the fact that they are all monsters and there is no place of decay for normal humans, demons and monsters are not the only ones who are dangerous on the Soul Mist Continent. The contractors who also enter this world and the strong men in this world are all hidden threats.
It is a magnificent city with thick walls guarding the city. There are crenellations, cannon holes and watchtowers on the walls. There are often rivers surrounding the outside. People can only enter the city through the suspension bridge, and the city gates are heavily guarded.
In this city, in the early morning, the trumpet sounds and the city gates are wide open; at midnight, the city gates are closed and no one can enter or exit. Ten years ago, this was the capital of the Kingdom of Venus, known as the Ivory Tower Kingdom.
It's not like this. But when the gray fog that swept across the continent ten years ago brought about a demonic crisis, the connection between countries was severed, and everyone was in danger. The atmosphere in the country became much more serious.
Every city that Venus still controls has turned into a war fortress. This is Qilute, the capital of Venus, which is already lax, and the frontline cities are even more dangerous. Sometimes even their colleagues can't
believe.
Qilut is divided into an outer city and an inner city. The outer city is where civilians and poor people live. The outermost circle is the slum area, which has a large population and is very crowded.
The streets here are narrow and winding, with buildings on both sides one after another. Some are as high as four or five stories. These buildings are often staggered up and down, with the upper floors protruding above the lower floors; the roofs of opposite houses on both sides of the street almost touch.
So that it can't get any sunlight and looks very dark.
The road is full of dirty garbage and flying dust, and when it rains, it turns into a filthy quagmire.
Most of the houses are made of wood and are covered with thick wheat straw on the roof. Since it takes a long time to start a fire with flint, you don't dare to light a fire randomly after the "fire out" bell has sounded. It is easy to cause a fire and the place will be dark.
The area where civilians live is closer to the inner city and is slightly better than the slums. The houses are neatly planned and the streets are a little cleaner.
The only wide place in the outer city is the market. This is a large open space. The market is surrounded by the city council, shops, cloisters and various stalls. Trials and executions of prisoners are also held here. During festivals, people have many opportunities to
Here we talk loudly and inquire about news.
The inner city and the outer city are not separated by walls, but by height. The inner city is built a few hundred meters above the outer city. The outer city is like guarding the villages and towns at the foot of the mountain, while the inner city is condescending. In the inner city, most of them are nobles and royal families.
, life and the outer city are heaven and earth. "The wine and meat smell of wine and meat in the Zhumen, and the bones are frozen to death on the road" are even worse than that here.
There are two most conspicuous buildings in the inner city. One is a tower-like palace where Queen Kelly VII and the direct royal family are located. The other is a church. The structure of the inner city is based on the main principles of convenience and beauty. The streets are from the city
The center radiates outward, forming a polygonal plane that is conducive to defense. Churches and palaces are set up at the center, and the entire city is composed of various geometric shapes.
The huge and magnificent palace is centered on itself and is symmetrical from east to west. There are large and small buildings, woods, lawns, flower beds and sculptures on both sides of the central axis. The overall layout is unified, balanced and spectacular.
Lin Jiu faintly heard the sound of some nobles walking together and singing drunkenly from outside.
"Business girls don't know how to hate the country's subjugation. They are still singing in the backyard across the river." Lin Jiu commented softly. He didn't have any feelings at all. After all, it was not his country that was going to die. Besides, he could die at any time, so he didn't allow others to do so.
Indulgent and indulgent. If the entire kingdom's nobles are like this, it will be convenient for him to act. This is obviously impossible. Venus still stands tall even when the thick fog spreads and the devil attacks, which has already been explained.
There are many capable people.
Lin Jiu rubbed his eyebrows, and some unfamiliar memories emerged in his mind. These memories were not instilled in his mind, but viewed in the form of flipping through. It felt like watching a movie, except that the movie was very long.
, and somewhat trivial.
"What a bad luck!" Lin Jiu sighed. He didn't even need to go through his memory. Judging from the environment he was in now, he knew that something was not good.
Lin Jiu was now in a dark and narrow cell, surrounded by walls, with only one door and one window. A weak light came through the narrow window. The plaster walls were covered with mottled stains and blood stains, and the damp earth floor
There were many potholes, a layer of matted thatch was spread haphazardly in the corners, and the air was filled with a pungent musty smell.
Whether it is the indelible blood stains on the wall or the pitted walls, they all tell the pain and struggle of those who were once imprisoned here.
It was another prison-type start, but Lin Jiu was still wearing a black uniform with golden wings embroidered on the chest, which showed that he was not treated as an ordinary prisoner. The voices of passing nobles could be heard outside. He was obviously not in the kingdom's prison.
中.After reading the memories of his identity, Lin Jiu also understood what was going on now.
The force he belongs to is the Mill Church with a long history and ancient heritage. The leader of the Mill Church is called the Saint, and under the Saint is the Presbyterian Church. It is said that a long time ago, the elders of the Presbyterian Church were called
As a venerable, but now the only elder who can be called a venerable is probably the great elder. As for the leader saint, it has been vacant for many years. Today, the Mir Church is controlled by the great elder.
The regular structure of Mill Church is composed of leading saints, presbytery, priests, deacons, and lay people. Priests teach doctrines and perform religious ceremonies, which are also commonly known as priests. Deacons are responsible for assisting the elders and priests.
of managers.
In addition to the conventional structure, there is also a violent institution, the Knights of the Church. The Knights of Myr wear semi-monk-like coats, but underneath the coat they still wear the knight's armor. Their weapons are no longer preaching, but profit.
Sword and spear.
A strict centralization system is implemented within the Knights. The supreme leader is the Commander-in-Chief, and further down there are commanders, stable masters, etc. Normally, the Commander-in-Chief of the Knights of Myr should directly obey the orders of the Saint, but now they secretly
There is no current saint in our church, so it is controlled by the five elders of the Presbyterian Church. Among them, the instructions of the existing "Venerable" chief elder are the main ones.
And Talenjiu is not a member of this violent organization, but a priest, and he is also the chief priest with a high status. What is the concept of this position, that is, it is only under the Presbytery of the Mill Church.
Before Lin Jiu entered the world, he wore the title of [Light of Hope]. The Myr Church where he is now may have been a powerful force that unified civilization, but now it is considered weak enough to trigger the effect of the title. And he entered
It was a church force, so Lin Jiu naturally changed the title to "missionary".
How can [Light of Hope] be used to make him a prisoner who once held a high position? After reading the memories, Lin Jiu naturally knew that although he started in the prison system, he was not a prisoner, but was being raped by the great elder.
Sensing the possibility of conducting soul research in private, he was specially sent here to calm down.
In other words, the Great Elder is already doubting his identity as a soul researcher. According to the instructions from the Reincarnation Paradise, the danger after this identity is exposed is not low.
