The low and simple shacks resemble slums, but they are not as crowded and dirty.
You can see wandering earth-dwelling miners everywhere, human beings who appeared because of the competition, and a few weird things that have been repaired here.
"No matter what he says, you shouldn't believe him..."
On the way back, Ida did not hide her wariness against the believers.
"But we are indeed trapped here." Lu Li looked at the migrating team.
This is the problem they will eventually face. Unless the exit is in the mining area, unless the Giant Tree Academy or the Knights occupy this place.
Lu Li gave the tickets to the Midnight City Main Station and Midnight City that he purchased to the migrating team, and even shillings, which was enough for them to enter the outer city and settle down until they started a new life.
"Please tell us your name..."
The grateful migrating team prayed to Lu Li.
"You will know."
The believer slowly whispered at this time: "Remember this moment, this will be the only real memory you have for the rest of your life..."
"What are you talking about?"
The survivors were stunned. Ida arched her forelimbs, showing an obvious intention to attack.
"This is a fact..." The shadow under the cloak of the believer said with emotion: "Even in Midnight City, it is difficult for citizens to live beyond the age of forty. These people are deeply polluted..."
"We will leave Midnight City at that time."
The man whispered.
The atmosphere turned from joyful to sad. Finally, the man said goodbye to Lu Li and Ida and led the migration team into the spiral cave.
"I suddenly understand your behavior, this joy after redemption..." Ida said, looking at their disappearing figures.
Fortunately, the believers didn't say any more unpleasant words.
Looking away, Lu Li and Ida followed the believers to their hiding place, which was on the second floor of a grocery store they rented.
One of the benefits of being a land dweller: you can exchange money with them for everything. They usually won't sell you out until you're tempted by greater benefits.
The sound of chaotic footsteps on the stairs made the believers bump into three wary figures after they arrived.
"You brought others here? Didn't we say that?"
The young aristocrat with a dark blond perm and a gray suit and vest stood up angrily.
Lu Li, who followed Nunes, especially Ida, made him feel uneasy. The alien players usually only play in the old sewer battle line or the giant tree academy in the lower city. The former will not be brought by Nunes, while the latter will let those who have already formed an alliance.
The Knights and Giant Tree Academy continue to increase their voice
"This is the person who can lead us out of trouble." The cultist smiled mysteriously, tilted his head and asked Lu Li: "Is it okay?"
Lu Li nodded gently and lowered his hood, revealing black hair and a pair of black eyes.
In the three eyes filled with astonishment, the believer's voice continued: "No one is opposed to the alliance and pessimistic about the results anymore, right?"
"Then I would like to formally introduce you." The believer faced Lu Li, took off his hood, revealed a pale and ordinary face, and introduced the members of the loose alliance: "I am Nunes, Alliance of Spirit Towns; Pasha Rivas, Five Knights
Regiment; Tovani, from the same place as you."
Tovani is a young man with freckles, one of the many faces Lu Li saw before entering the fog.
Pasha Rivas, who believed in chivalry, stood upright and lowered his head.
"Heinz Ellis from the Council of Nobles greets you."
The young aristocrat with dark blond perm refused Nunes' introduction and took the initiative to touch his chest and perform the aristocratic ceremony.
"Lu Li and Ida are from Giant Tree Academy. They will join the Escape Alliance." Nunes introduced to the surprised allies.
The arrival of Lu Li made the escape alliance extremely united, even Heinz Ellis put aside all doubts.
Although it is rumored that the relationship between the exorcist and the nobles is not harmonious, no one thinks that the exorcist will target Heinz Ellis because of this.
"Your Excellency Lu Li."
Nunes signaled to Lu Li and led him to leave the room temporarily.
"The clues to the Curse of the Swamp title are not in my hands... to be exact, they didn't originally belong to me."
Walking back up the stairs to the first floor, Nunes slowly recounted his ordeal.
"It was a roll of parchment. I don't know whether to call it a contaminant or a congener or neither... At first, I thought it was a contaminant or a congener, but I soon discovered the problem: the parchment did not
There is no smell of pollution, nothing can be felt, it seems like it is just ordinary parchment."
It is obvious that the absence of a problem is itself a problem.
After passing the earth dweller behind the counter of the grocery store, Nunes temporarily shut up, and continued when he came to the street: "I found it in a tattered backpack next to the swamp that appeared. Time and environment corrode everything, only this roll of parchment
In perfect condition. It introduced itself as Will Ken, the legendary exorcist."
"Will Ken..." Lu Li thought thoughtfully because of this name.
Because of some concern, Nunes hid the parchment in an abandoned hut. Also because of some concern, the parchment revealed that it knew the information about the cursed title in exchange for not being destroyed.
Entering the deserted dark alley, Nunes pushed open the low wooden door that fit the body shape of an earth dweller and got into the abandoned hut.
The low and cramped house is like a prison. You have to lower your head slightly to prevent your hair from touching the ceiling. The only thing in the dusty hut that is not dusty is the parchment placed in a wooden box.
"You kept your promise, Nunes...who was that man?"
The hoarse whispers of vicissitudes of life sounded in the hut.
Just like Nunes said, Lu Li couldn't feel any pollution or any malice.
"Someone who's really interested in a cursed title." Nunes examined it: "And also an exorcist."
What better way to prove the veracity of its words than with a real exorcist.
"Not everyone is called an exorcist, kid. It is a kind of inheritance, a kind of belief, a kind of power that we can't see and touch, but it really exists."
The power of honor emerges from the old sighing whispers.
"He is indeed an exorcist, an exorcist who has existed since the old days." Nunes tilted his head and looked at Lu Li.
Lu Li took out the eyeball wooden box and summoned the merchant Anthony to appear.
"The merchant's recognition can prove my identity." Lu Li stared at the parchment that fell into silence. "Now it's your turn."
"Is it The Exorcist?"
"Yes." Merchant Anthony's answer was always indifferent, even though Parchment may be the only exorcist in this era.
"Then or now?"
"Always."
Lu Li already had the answer, and Nunes completely put down his guard against the parchment.
Like an old man, Will Ken slowly narrated: "Thank you, young exorcist, I am very happy to be recognized after twenty years... and businessmen, I am very happy to see you still walking.
On earth, as a companion to the exorcist."
"My name is Will Ken, and I was a former investigator. What about you? A young exorcist."
