However, cruel punishment cannot stop crime.

Even belief itself has been distorted and used.

Saltwind City.

This is a city in ruins.It belongs to the extension of the land, and half of its body is built on the sea.

It was originally a symbol of Iberian ambitions, a mobile city that was supposed to be able to travel by sea.

If it weren't for the lack of technology, it could even be an underwater city—just like the city in the country of Agor.

Granted, the technology to build such a city doesn't exist on land without a marine environment.

This was brought to Iberia by the Agors.

According to Gloria, the technology that the Agors brought to Iberia can only be regarded as a crumb of Agor's vast wisdom.

Iberia has become the first echelon country, known as the country of gold, and has established an "Invincible Fleet" that can be used on land and sea.

In such a country, even if they have different beliefs, they should not discriminate against Agors.

What exactly did the Agor people do to make things become what they are today?

The existence of Yanfeng City may be one of the answers.

This dead city, where there should have been no living people long ago, and even the land was killed by blood, is an inconspicuous scar left by Tranquility on Iberia.

Neither the Deep Sea nor Iberia could accept that sad disaster.

And Agor, who arrogantly kept silent, made its citizens the targets of discrimination in Iberia, and made the land people hated by the deep sea.

This is just consequentialism.

As for what Agor did, it is still impossible to say for sure.

The only thing we can know is that the activity of the deep sea hunters came after the Great Tranquility.

The second captain, Gloria, was the first batch of deep-sea hunters, and before she became a hunter, she was not a combatant, but a technical consul.

The six entered Yanfeng City.

In the city of the dead, walking corpse-like humanoid creatures wander to and fro.

……

On the edge of the city, below the dilapidated church.

The cavity-like cave is very deep, and the outside of the mountain has already touched the ocean.

Strange devices were placed in the clearing, and the skylight that seeped into the cavern through the ocean and poured down from hidden corners.

In this dark place filled with the moist air of sea water, there stood a tall, slender life form with a human silhouette.

It is dark and muscular, with a pale blue luster on its skin.Spurs and fin-like structures grow all over the torso, and the azure spine can even be seen clearly from the flesh cavity directly in front of it.

It only resembles a human in outline, and the arrangement of its organs—no, in the final analysis, the shape and position of its organs and tissues are all uncertain.

The priests watched it quietly with awe and longing.That is the symbol of evolution, the entity of the long-cherished wish of the Church of the Deep Sea.

The bishop has already obtained the honor of being transformed into that kind of life. If the priests work hard to improve themselves and make contributions, they may also enjoy such honor in the future.

The priests are now reporting to the bishop.

Under the orders of the bishop, they went to the continental countries to conduct hidden missions and experiments.

"...Leitania's seeds, why haven't they responded yet?"

Bishop Quintus was holding the staff of the Lateran Church, his left eye protruding from under the hood was emitting a dim yellow light.

His stooped figure lost some of its human outlines, so he had to hide it under a loose cassock.

"I don't know... I saw him swallow it with my own eyes, my lord!"

"I didn't ask you. Expect you apprentices to find out the key to the problem? I'm not so stupid. It's very unreasonable. They can't resist the will of the messenger."

The tissues they eat will use their bodies as nourishment to develop, and the remaining flesh of land animals will be used as waste to become part of the newborn Hai Si.

However, this is only a theory.

He studied the source stone—the original sin of terrestrial livestock, imitated the process of it cursing livestock, and begged the messenger to divide the organization with similar parasitic and erosive functions.

The people of Saltwind City had a contract with the deep sea, Quintus could not use them for experiments, and he dared not stretch out his hands in cities farther away, lest they attract judges.

That's why he looked beyond Iberia.

Since the envoy has not yet perceived Xin Haisi's consciousness, it is obviously a failure.

—Land animals are not eligible to receive the blessing of the messenger.

"No. Even if this is the case, news should come back. I have dealt with the envoy's blessing. If everything is normal, the organization in the body of terrestrial livestock that adapts to the land should have been figured out by the envoy by now."

Quintus' idea is to help the messenger acquire the unique structure of land life, so that the messenger can evolve a body that adapts to the inland water-scarce environment.

But the messenger said that he did not receive any pheromone.

This is very strange. Quintus' processing has been tested and certified, and messages can be sent back as far away as Rutland, and the transmission process is low-loss and high-speed.

This is the most convenient and stable way of communication when you don't want to use the land city-state network.

Since the pheromone was not received, it can only prove that the blessing has not been differentiated, and it has not been able to "live".

Could it be digested?This is impossible!

"...Wait. Could it be that this is the case? It was because that Qin Feng went to Letania that he messed up the envoy's plan?"

Although nothing is known about the specific situation, Qin Feng happened to lose contact with Xista, and then Xista's sect. Quintus has paid close attention to this matter.

This guy, who was making wind and rain on land, was able to defeat the sect that invited real gods instead of messengers.

Even if Quintus despised the land, he would not dare to call Qin Feng a land animal, because it would belittle the Sea God who was defeated by him.

"Damn it. Is it really necessary to consider the request of the headquarters? Just because he is on land, he has to shrink his defense and give up going deep?"

A mere person forced the top church leaders and even some contactable gods to postpone their plan to invade the primitive and backward land. Why should he?

How on earth did he kill a god?

When the gods told the news in person, the congregation were hit hard, and it took Quintus several days to recover.

They are still trying to get closer to the gods, but the land people they look down on have already killed the gods.

Quintus paced back and forth, muttering insulting words.

"Damn! Why hasn't that evil thing been in regular contact? Is she really planning to turn her face?"

"—I, smell it. Gla-dia, up there."

The messenger suddenly spoke.

Chapter 590

"It... smells weird here."

Walking on the streets of Saltwind City, Ghost Shark would wrinkle its nose from time to time.

The land here is too fishy.

Fishier than the sea.

Moreover, even if this was the seaside, the concept of "deep sea" was too strong. If it wasn't for the fact that her skin was still a little dry, she might have thought that she was at the bottom of the sea.

The soil under my feet always feels sticky and slippery.This is actually just an illusion, but it is a big problem for her to have this illusion.

The senses of deep sea hunters are their most trusted weapon.Rather than thinking that this is purely an illusion, Ghost Shark is more inclined to think that there is something wrong with the city.

Gloria explained:

"The soil here is contaminated with the blood of the sea monster, which is dead."

"Hey, that's it. Has there been such a fierce hunting here? Isn't this kind of treatment only available to Agor?"

Gloria's expression became a little complicated.

She opened her mouth and finally said:

"...Iberia is special."

As for what's special, she won't say it. Ghost Shark is familiar with the captain's temperament, so she didn't intend to ask.

On the contrary, Skadi showed a slightly cute puzzled expression.

Why didn't the captain continue talking?

Seeing this, Qin Feng said:

"Decades ago, there was a disaster called the Great Tranquility in Iberia. The city's current state is the result of the disaster—wait. There are still residents here? How could this be?"

He saw the people walking up and down the street.

Their clothes were shabby, but somehow respectable.

Their expressions are dull, their movements are as stiff as sculptures, and their hands and faces exposed outside their clothes have an unhealthy sallow color.

They live, but they just live.

Lan Du and Bai Mian Ou took a step back and understood why Qin Feng was surprised.

As Swordfish said just now, the soil here is dead.In other words, no food can be grown here.

It is true that if farming is not enough, you can rely on the sea to eat the sea, but in the case of a deep-sea siege, who will eat who when you go to the sea?

It is impossible for an ordinary fisherman to catch or kill a fear fish.

Although they are low-level sea monsters, this is only because of the degree of differentiation and single function.

In terms of evolution, they have not fallen behind. The differentiation of muscle cells is consistent with that of middle and high-level sea monsters, but the amount is small and the structure is simple.

Since there is nothing to eat in the sea or on the ground...how did these people survive in this city?

Is there state support?

If there is support from the state, why didn't they see any civil servants on the way into the city?

It doesn't look like there are "living people" in this dead and silent street.
