181. Traitors of Humanity

The God of the Deep Sea, an ancient god believed by the Tentacle Cultists and hostile to the Lord of the Deep Sea.

This ancient god realized that the insignificant believer and Lu Li were indeed like grace, and the oracle he gave made the tentacle believers tremble with enthusiasm.

He asked Lu Li to do something.

The unreasonable demands of the God of the Deep Sea are like ordering humans to ants, whether it is unequal power or unequal dedication.

But when ants really form a connection with humans, the help they receive is far beyond imagination.

Although he lost the battle with the Lord of the Deep Sea, his status is not inferior to that of the Lord of the Deep Sea.

It's just that Lu Li needs to be careful not to have his consciousness distorted by the breath of the God of the Deep Sea, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

"What does He want me to do."

The Tentacle Cultists devoutly and fanatically narrate the oracle of the God of the Deep: Deep in the old sewers of Midnight City, a rare auction will begin. Go there and retrieve the last thing in the auction.

It sounds like some kind of test.

The God of the Deep Sea has countless believers, and no outside help is needed to retrieve objects, unless for some reason the believers cannot enter the old sewer.

"Will you go with us?"

The Tentacle Cultists revealed their secrets: "We cannot set foot in the depths of the earth."

Lu Li had no choice. Even if the God of the Deep Sea would not pay the reward, he had to accept the commission, otherwise the devout tentacle believers in front of him would tear them apart.

But it might not be as bad as imagined, at least the Tentacle Cultists provided a strange crystal-shaped currency to pay for taking pictures of such things.

The moment Lu Li touched it, light blue crystal frost spread along his palm. He threw it to Ophelia to stop the frost from continuing.

This strange currency sent by the Lord of the Deep through a ritual was confirmed by the twisted figure: it is the crystallization of powerful souls after their death, the most top-notch strange currency.

Ophelia quickly gave it to the merchant Anthony for storage. She was also affected by the strange crystal currency, and her charred palms were like cooling magma.

Before leaving, they came to the vine camp next door. Before the prophet woke up, Pusius suggested that Lu Li use the power of [Dream Man].

Lu Li didn't do that. He wasn't familiar with the power of [Dreamman] yet. If he couldn't leave after entering the dream... he would be lost in the river of time for hundreds of millions of years.

Leaving the Church of the Twisted Vine, we headed to Rodster Port. Along the way, strange people dispersed because of this group of dozens of heretics.

After arriving at the port safely and before boarding the ship, the leader of the fleeing sect found Lu Li.

The ocean-going ship is expected to be built in half a month, and they hope Lu Li can come and say goodbye.

Boarding Andrea, the Tentacle Cultists and others also boarded the ship, and they will head to the deserted land with Lu Li.

Under the watchful eyes of several fleeing sect members, Andrea sailed into the thick darkness, disappearing into the never-ending waves.



Gulu gulu——

The coffee on the stove is boiling, spreading its aroma.

Filia took off the kettle, poured it into the coffee cup in front of Lu Li, and also poured a bowl for Pusius.

"Thank you Miss Ophelia."

Pusius was listless.

He is still immersed in the sadness of losing his partner. But as time goes by, he will gradually accept Katarina's departure.

At least Catalina is still alive, and may live longer than them. Without this encounter, she would one day die like a villain.

"what's on your mind."

Ophelia put down the kettle and asked Lu Li, who was spreading the map and thinking.

"Landing place."

Because of Andrea, they no longer had to take a long horse caravan from Storm Point to the end of the old sewers to go to the old sewers of Midnight City.

But that doesn’t mean that other roads are easy to walk. Even if you take the known old sewer, the town closest to the coast is only 150 miles away from the Cape Storm route.

And they didn't know enough about the area where the old sewers extended.

They urgently needed a map of the old sewer lines, which could only be obtained from the ice-free port of Wiener.

Lu Li broke away from his thoughts and said to the businessman Anthony: "I need a map of the old sewer route."

The request was sent to Mayor Mateus, who was worried about the Exorcist incident. He hesitated and replied that doing so might expose Lu Li's whereabouts.

"Then expose it to them."

The old sewers are so vast that even if the Inquisition knew about them, there wouldn't be much they could do.

Mayor Mateus grabbed the phone and called his assistant, asking him to collect maps of desolate lands, old sewers, broken Lennon Islands, and snow-capped mountains on the back of the world as quickly as possible.

"Is it Mr. Lu Li?" Assistant Valendo couldn't help but ask. After being confirmed, he exited the office and followed the dim street lights to the Privy Council a street away.

He was not received; indeed, the Privy Council members avoided him, as if they were avoiding some deadly plague.

After the events of The Exorcist, only a small number of officials remained loyal to Mayor Mateusz.

"The mayor needs a map of the deserted lands, the old sewers, the broken Lennon Islands, the snowy mountains at the back of the world."

Assistant Valendo found them and conveyed Mayor Mateus' instructions, even though they all knew that the one who really needed this was Mr. Lu Li.

Let your men go to the door and stare at it, and then wait anxiously.

Unfortunately, exposure was unavoidable, and when their subordinates hurried over to tell them that the trial court was coming, they had no choice but to stop collecting.

"We only found desolate areas and old sewers..."

"It's too late...Give it to me first!"

Assistant Valendo hurriedly looked behind him. Surprised shouts and dull footsteps came from the next hall. He took only the map of the deserted land and the old sewer and headed for the back door.

Squeak——

The back door opened a gap, and assistant Valendo, who peeked out, saw his subordinates being interrogated by the guards of the trial chamber, and quietly closed the door.

He climbed up the steps to the second floor and when he stepped through the window, he heard questions coming from downstairs.

"Who left just now."

"It's Assistant Valendo!" someone shouted.

Then the dull sound of footsteps left.

Assistant Valendo gritted his teeth, climbed out of the window, and jumped down along the eaves as the fog enveloped his figure.

But the mist also prevented him from seeing the ground, and he actually injured his foot.

Holding the documents tightly, he limped around the area blocked by the trial and rushed to the city hall.

Passing by a man on lookout, assistant Valendo called him over: "Call the mayor and ask him to call the businessman! Wait..."

Two minutes later.

Assistant Valendo stumbled to the steps of the city hall.

"search."

The waiting guards of the Inquisition approached coldly.

Assistant Valendo asked these rough guys to finish the search: "Can I go in?"

No one from the Inquisition Guards responded, they just gave way to the blocked steps.

Assistant Valendo dragged his injured foot up the stairs, waited until the guards could no longer see him, then sped up and ran towards the mayor's office.

Bang!

The panting assistant Valendo opened the door and looked at Mayor Mateus behind the desk: "Mr. Mayor..."

"It has been sent over."
