Throne of Shadows

In the vast wilderness, the suspension car rushed to a quiet town.

"It's good to meet people." Begobird was the first to get out of the car.

Dongchen hugged Annie, and found that the people in this city were very strange, and there was a strange feeling of saying no.

"May the Holy Light protect you. Outsiders, are you believers in the Lord?" The old man with a big cross on his chest and in good spirits stopped at the intersection.

Dongchen frowned: "We are not followers of the Holy Cross Church, we are free mercenaries."

"Oh, don't you want to fall into the arms of the Lord? The end is coming, and only those who believe in the Lord can be saved. Children, only those who believe in the Lord can gain eternal life."

"Get out of the way, old man, you are blocking the way." Christina stared at the cat's eyes and took out an energy gun.

The barrel of the gun reflected the metal light in the sun, and the frightened old man hurriedly stepped aside.

"You're going to hell."

Listening to the curse coming from behind, Dongchen shrugged: "Christina, that old guy hates you."

"Whatever." The cat rolled its eyes and put the gun away, Christina smiled indifferently: "The missionaries of the Holy Cross Church have his virtues, and it's annoying to let them pester them."

The noisy bar suddenly fell silent.

The mercenaries looked at the four people who pushed the door and entered with strange expressions.

A man and a woman are quite normal, but what is that strangely dressed monster?Also, that little girl...

"Information, mission." Three black crystals were thrown on the table.

The stunned boss put it away quickly: "What do you want to know? Outsiders, there have been no outsiders in Holy Cross Town for a long time."

"what happened?"

The boss looked outside, and a nearby mercenary closed the door.

The light in the bar suddenly dimmed a lot.

Dongchen clenched his weapon instinctively, and Christina stood beside Begobold.

The boss waved his hand: "Don't be nervous, outsiders, people in this city are crazy. You are lucky, we are the only sane people left."

"What do you mean?"

"Did you meet old George when you came here?" Seeing Dongchen's puzzled expression, the boss sighed, "It's the old man with the cross on his chest."

"Is there something wrong with him?" Christina recalled the old man who was scared away by herself, and looked at the boss strangely.

"What's wrong?" The four wine glasses were placed on the bar, and the boss snorted coldly: "Believers in the Lord will have eternal life, and those who don't believe in hell, what do you think is wrong? Everyone in the city has become believers in the Lord, what do you say is wrong ?”

The atmosphere in the room instantly cooled down, only the sound of the boss pouring wine remained.

"What did they do?" Dongchen stared at the boss.

"Materials are distributed uniformly, and all property is confiscated. As long as you dedicate everything to the Lord, the Lord will give you everything." The boss explained sarcastically.

A mercenary in a corner took the words: "Turn in all the food you get, and then divide it up. As long as you believe in the Lord, you can survive."

"What's wrong with this? In this way, won't everyone survive?" Annie, who didn't know the world, asked strangely.

All eyes were on her, on this innocent child.

The bar owner smiled wryly: "People are complicated things. You are still young, so you don't understand."

"elder brother?"

Dongchen looked at the little angel's big pure eyes, and shook his head: "You will understand later."

"Come on, brother, have a drink." A glass of wine was pushed in front of Dong Chen, and the boss handed another small glass to Annie: "Little angel, try this, it's sweet."

While playing with the wine glass, he was sharing information with the boss.Dongchen and his party, who had been wrangling for a long time, declined the boss's kindness to stay overnight, and returned to the suspension car.

Looking at their leaving figures, the bar owner looked at the four full glasses in front of him, smiled and raised his hand: "Hey, who wants it. Outsiders are too alert, this is a good thing."

"Dongchen, shall we go to the hunt tomorrow?" Christina glanced around and found that the town residents were looking at them with obvious hostility, which was completely different from before.

Dong Chen looked at Bego Bird: "How's the energy?"

"It's enough. I think we should fix it here. Don't you want to find new teammates and rebuild the mercenary group? Maybe there are suitable candidates here."

"Okay, let's participate in tomorrow's event. Christina, please pay attention to see if there are any good candidates."

"knew!"

With green cat eyes, staring blankly at the suspension car, Christina was dumbfounded.Begobold grabbed his hair tightly and roared crazily: "Who, who painted my Despair like this, I want to strangle him to death."

Huge cross pattern, eye-catching slogan.

The old man who watched all this from a distance threw the spray paint can proudly.

Believers will have eternal life, unbelievers will go to hell.Lost lamb, repent before the glory of the Lord!

The eyes full of murderous intent swept to the back, and the whole town fell silent at this moment. The villagers closed the doors in twos and threes, and the old man hiding in the shadow suddenly fell to the ground: "He is a devil, a devil!"

"elder brother?"

"It's okay, let's go back."

The spray paint passed down before the crisis of civilization is extremely difficult to clean. Begobold searched the storage box but couldn’t find anything to pack it, so he could only drink alcohol one after another: “Don’t let me find out who did it, or else, I will definitely strangle him."

"Don't worry, you will have a chance." Dongchen thought of the old man.

At night, the wind and sand blew against the carriage.The little angel had already fallen asleep.In the cab, Begobird watched the adult program with a whimper.

Christina touched Dongchen beside her with her arm: "Can we really find teammates? The people here don't seem to be very friendly to us."

"It doesn't matter whether he is friendly or not. Teammates can find better ones, but they can't find them down. Our first task is to improve our own strength. If we can reach the heavenly level, even if we are alone, we can sweep them away when we turn around."

"Heavenly rank?" Christina was amused by Dong Chen: "Fool, how can it be so easy to reach the heavenly rank."

"As long as you work hard, nothing is impossible, and you will never succeed if you don't try."

"Do you know the proportion of the heavenly rank?" Christina touched the wrist wheel, and the energy block beside her was emitting a faint blue light.

"I don't know, and I don't want to know." Dongchen turned his head, his eyes were firm: "I will definitely reach the heavenly rank, no matter how difficult it is."

The green cat's eyes blinked, and Christina stretched out her hand coquettishly, and pointed at Dong Chen's forehead: "The future master of heaven, is asleep."

"Let's discuss, can you put away the energy block?"

"No."

"Really?"

"If I say no, I can't. Go to bed. I have to get up early tomorrow."
