One hundred and thirty two. Older than the evil god
Bypassing the mysteriously occupied Joseph Manor, they climbed over the Sugard Mountains. Along with the wilderness, the low temperature from the Main Continent also appeared.
"It seems like it's going to snow again." Catalina wrapped herself tightly in the blanket.
"Miss Catalina, your hands..."
Pusius happened to see Caterina's palm bent into a twisted shape.
"The aftermath of the Whirlpool."
Catalina said nonchalantly that her left hand was not her dominant hand, and thinking more optimistically, the swirling palm had a stronger grip.
At least many unlucky people entered the vortex and never came out, such as Elena and Puff.
The team of members of the Twisted Church dispersed, changing from a sanitation guard to a team of several people surrounding Lu Li a few meters apart, stretching into a team of more than ten meters.
This kind of position will make monsters that do not hunt by sight realize that they are difficult to provoke, and at the same time sense the approach of invisible monsters in advance.
The diffuse humidity on the backside of the mountain made the cloaks of the church members damp and heavy, but they did not resent the slipperiness. Catalina was not used to this kind of humidity, and the cold moisture almost penetrated into the seams of her bones.
Ophelia suddenly felt like a furnace radiating heat, dispelling the dampness and coldness.
Catalina feels much better, and some of the prejudice against her has been reduced.
Amid the protection of Twisted Church members and Ophelia's warmth, the outline of Watchtown emerged at the edge of the wet mist in the distance.
Its condition is as bad as that of Belfast, which is in ruins. The outline of the town is covered in mottled darkness like a faded oil painting, and the buildings that have lost their edges are like dark corners wrapped in moss.
The outside of the town is covered with fungus carpet to protect the town.
It is unknown if the passage to Hell and Hades, who escaped into Hell, still exist.
On the periphery of the fungus blanket, wooden signs stood crookedly like tombstones. The graffiti on them was all difficult to understand, until they found a certain wooden sign that read "Tjegole Family Territory, No Approaching".
They were already very close to the mottled creep on the outside. The Tentacle Cultists stopped.
"If we go further, the Tjegolay family will find us."
"What is that."
The fungus carpet not far away suddenly arched up, changing like a cloud as it grew, and finally formed the outline of Lu Li.
"Unbeliever who walks with the heathen, why are you here?"
Countless friction sounds sounded, and the trembling air emitted human speech.
"I'm looking for the girl's shadow, an evil spirit named Anna." Lu Li said.
"We haven't seen it. The war is about to begin, stay back."
Lu Li's shadowy outline turned towards Watchtown. At the end of the horizon, a group of clouds, deeper than the clouds, was approaching.
"Do you want to wait?" Katarina asked.
"No, let's go back."
War, this word means large-scale battle.
The "Tjegolay Family" obviously has a lot of knowledge about language. When they say it is a war, it means that a real war will break out on the back of the mountain, and it may even spread to Belfast.
The further away they are, the better.
"Then where to find her next?"
"Himfast."
Lu Li followed Anna's footsteps and knew that she must have been there.
They returned the same way they came, and the battle over Watchtown had begun.
The dark clouds solidified into the outline of a spear, thrusting down from the clouds.
A group of mottled giant claws rose from Watchtown, grabbing a spear in the sky.
The spear pierced the giant claw and smashed into Watchtown, setting off a black wave more than ten meters high and spreading violently.
It seems that the Tjegolay family is at a disadvantage.
"Do you know what an intruder is?" Lu Li asked the Tentacle Cultist.
"Pavlovian shapeshifters, they're fighting for territory."
The Tjegolay family launched a counterattack, and the fungus carpet in Watch Town protruded, supporting the black ant pillars covering Pavlov's shapeshifters. The mottled fungus carpet scattered around the town rose like smoke, pulling it down towards the town.
"They are the servants of the ancient god Six-faced Beetle." The Tentacle Cultist took the initiative to reveal the secret to Lu Li.
"Then why the hostility."
"The ancient gods are dead, they are ownerless lambs."
The Tentacle Cultist then revealed the reason for telling Lu Li the secret: "My Lord is the god who ruled the world in the past. It still exists and is powerful."
It wants Lu Li to join them.
Lu Li ignored it, and the Tentacle Cultists stopped pressing them. It was not a radical heretic, and radical heretics were not allowed to join the gathering place.
As a reward for the information revealed by the Tentacle Cultists, the merchant gave the Tentacle Cultists a wooden box containing eyeballs and 560 contribution points.
The war in Watchtown in the distance was gradually shrouded in moisture, leaving only the trembling sound that spread here.
After crossing Mount Sukad, they returned to the gathering place of the Twisted Church.
Next, Lu Li will go back to Elm Forest, get on Andrea and head to Himfast.
But before that, Lu Li still needed to solve a problem.
"Be back in five minutes."
Twisted Church, Lu Li said.
The businessman walked quietly outside the church and disappeared into the cold light.
"Let's hurry up and find Miss Anna."
Barry's voice called back the eyes of everyone looking outside the church.
"Um."
Lu Li nodded and looked at the twisted figure on the throne.
But before bidding farewell, the believers who delivered the oracle whispered.
"Barry is evil."
Catalina and Pusius were stunned and looked at the confused Barry in surprise. He stumbled awkwardly and explained: "I...I'm not. Look at my arms."
Barry showed off his mantis-like curved forearm. That was the whirlpool caused by the pollution caused by lending the pendant to Katarina.
"You said that Barry is the fake companion of the evil spirit. It distorts your memory and cognition. It will disappear when the businessman appears."
Lu Li frowned and thought.
They don't remember this.
"Businessmen just don't like me!" Barry couldn't help but defended.
"He saved me in the Whirlpool, I believe in him." Catalina also whispered.
"I...I only know that it tricked us into doing the second thing before." Pusius muttered softly.
Ophelia stood beside Lu Li and firmly supported him.
Lu Li stared at the twisted figure on the throne, comparing the different parts of his own experience with what it described.
"The businessman will be back in five minutes, right?"
"Yes."
Lu Li looked at Catalina, the others, and Barry: "Then wait five minutes."
His decision revealed some doubts, which made the determined Pusius and Catalina doubt and quietly approach Lu Li.
Five minutes is longer than expected.
Catalina and the others felt that several five minutes had passed, and just when they were about to believe Barry's words, the outline of the businessman appeared in front of the church.
Distorted cognition returned, and they realized that Barry was standing here abruptly and did not leave when the businessman appeared.
"You smell bad, forget it."
Barry murmured a cold voice that was inconsistent with his honesty, and disappeared.
It comes from Lu Li's human nature.
"Will it show up again?" Katarina asked.
"Probably not." Lu Li replied.
Barry was not defeated. What made him leave was that Lu Li no longer had the humanity that attracted him. And before his humanity grew, he would not get entangled with him again.
Just in case, they did it again, and Barry didn't show up this time.
