It is impossible for the girl to find the evil god in the textbook

"That's just to maintain the quality of the livestock's meat—just like the farms and pastures outside will be cleaned regularly to keep the pigs from getting sick, right?"

The metaphor made Hyde feel a little queasy.He looked at the people blocked by the guards on both sides of the road. Among them were some young children but almost no old people. They were also looking at this side. Their innocent eyes seemed to be wondering which of these big shots were riding in the carriage. , why are there children like them.

Hyde narrowed his eyes slightly, he felt stung by the innocence.

"So they don't know what kind of fate awaits them?"

"It's not that they don't know their future, it's that they don't know what that future means."

Fitili's voice became a little cold,

"These children have lived in the lower city of Enoch since they were born. In their understanding, growing up and then dedicating themselves - this is just the most common sense. Occasionally there will be a few selected people who are transformed into When the dirty blood bearing the clan name enters the upper city, they will turn around and eat their former parents or friends without hesitation, becoming the target of sacrifice."

People in the lower city are allowed to live up to 40 years old. From this point of view, their average life span may not be much different from that of humans in the wilderness.There were so many gatherings that people were willing to squeeze their heads to get into Enoch.

Whether living carefree until middle age and waiting for death or fighting for limited food in the wilderness, I am afraid that no one can say which one is happier.

Hyde reached out and took the bouquet from a girl who was only eight or nine years old at most. Because of the light hair color that was very common in Enoch, he thought this girl looked a bit like Ella when she was a child.

Hyde subconsciously forgot about his current appearance and asked curiously,

"Do you know who we are?"

"Of course, sir, you are wizards from a foreign land!"

The girl replied that she was very happy that the other party accepted her bouquet.The child's spirit is still quite weak, but the moment they looked at each other, Hyde was convinced that the girl with a firm tone in front of him didn't know what he meant by "foreign land" or "wizard".

He snapped his fingers, and a string of bright golden sparks rose into the air, which attracted the curious or amazed eyes of many Enoch residents.

"Don't worry, Brother Wizard will take you away from Enoch and see the real sunshine."

Ignoring the other person's muttered "You don't look much older than me," he waved his hand and followed the carriage forward.The procession paused as the domed black buildings began to shift in color and style.The number of residents here has become much rarer, and almost all of them are low-level dirty blood types.

A group of knights in black armor appeared in front of them. Compared with the personal guards who served as welcome messengers, their equipment standard was simpler.But Hyde narrowed his eyes slightly, because this kind of armor that can be mass-produced seems to be used by the real Enoch army.

Although it is simpler than the artwork-like armor of the personal guards, this black light armor with dragon patterns also retains the usual exquisite style of the blood.The Centurion wears a black-faced helmet similar in style to that of the Hunter, with silver-white long tassels scattered from the joint behind the head.

A man who was average in height compared to the others, but extraordinarily thick came forward.

Jeffrey Fairmont, who was the usher, gave him a standard knight salute,

"Coleridge acts as the knight to command Your Excellency, the queen's bodyguard and temporary Enoch's welcoming envoy Geoffrey Fairmont has completed the task, and the wizards' alliance envoy has successfully arrived in Nod."

Duncan nodded.

"Very well, the next thing will be handed over to the City Defense Army and our Knights of the Guards. You can go to rest."

He strode forward and nodded to Lucien, who was in the front carriage and dressed in a gorgeous dress.

"Your Excellency, please follow me to the Throne of Blood. Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Of course, very happy."

Lucien straightened his bow tie, left the carriage and followed Duncan forward.

Chapter 73 Rough Man

"Honorable Messenger, what should I call you?"

Duncan controlled his pace, maintaining a comparable speed with Lucien.

"Lucien Mephisto, Fred's son, one of the representatives of the Wizarding Union—I think this is no secret in Enoch, Lord Coleridge."

As the procession gradually entered the upper town, bands on both sides of the inner wall played strange marches with hundreds of brass pipes and drums.The style of this music is different from the generous tunes used by countries in the material world to welcome messengers. It contains a kind of classical rhythm and luxurious soothing. It is more like a late-night diva than a march used to welcome guests.

"I'm very sorry, we could have prepared a grander celebration and welcome ceremony, but the time is indeed a bit too hasty."

After listening to a short welcome song, Lucien had a self-deprecating smile on his face.

"No, it's us who should apologize. The alliance didn't get in touch with Enoch before departure. You didn't drive us out, it was already in accordance with etiquette."

"If so, you are here to discuss the return of Enoch. Even if we don't wait for you in Nod, we will continue to send people to try to contact the wizards over there in the material world."

Duncan smiled and said that he felt that the humility and humor shown by the messenger before him were not common in Enoch.In fact, he has always had a good impression of pure-bred humans. They are not as lofty as Enoch's nobles, nor are they like beasts like those alienated wilderness people.

"Can you tell us about the planned itinerary for the future?"

Hyde's voice came from below, and he shook hands with Duncan who bent over.

"Hyde Belusay, I am also one of the representatives of this alliance."

A somewhat disrespectful thought popped into Duncan's mind, "Could it be possible that a boy in his early ten years can become a wizard representative?" But it was obviously impossible for him to say such offensive words out of his mouth. He didn't understand the tradition on that side, and he didn't know whether this was a very common thing in the so-called material world.

But in any case, he still gave due respect to the latter's identity.

"Of course, Your Excellency Belusay."

"First is the meeting with Her Majesty the Queen, and after that is the prepared palace dinner. The formal welcome ceremony will be held two days later, but I don't know the specific content yet. Then there will be the palace orchestra's concert and the formal The meeting to negotiate the contract—we walked and talked.”

Several tall Bloody Guards held their shoulders against the cast-steel coffin on the bronze pedestal. Their armor was covered with a thin layer of blood mist. This seemed to be some kind of dirty blood that could temporarily significantly increase physical strength. witchcraft.Since carriages are not allowed to pass during the remaining part of the journey, they will be responsible for hauling the holy relics and Ella inside.

"I've heard about this girl, but you should also know that coffin isn't 100 percent successful - I can only wish her luck."

Duncan said sincerely.

"Thank you, but I believe Ella will definitely come back."

Ling appeared at the back of the team, and Feitili appeared with her.The moment Fittily entered Duncan's sight, the latter felt a burst of oppression from his blood.He froze on the spot for half a second before he got rid of this awkward sense of restraint. Duncan couldn't help being slightly startled, even from those so-called clan chiefs and even the former Nils, he didn't feel such a terrifying bloodline suppression.

Perhaps only Her Majesty the Queen has a stronger bloodline than her in this city.

There won't be many dirty blood like this in the world, and even the material world that he doesn't know will not easily jump out of the second one, so the identity of the platinum-blond long-haired girl in front of him is similar to Nils. It's ready to come out.

Duncan originally appeared here with the intention of meeting the other party in advance before everyone else, but what he didn't expect was that the first trial made him suffer a little.At the same time, this made Duncan more convinced that he must not let Sophia try to deal with this woman.

"Your Excellency must be Abigail Cain."

Fittili glanced at him, and sighed in surprise:

"The filthy blood from the wilderness can actually become the commander of the guard knights. It seems that Enoch has not remained the same over the years."

Rarely, Duncan seemed to feel that the vaguely needle-like hostility on the opponent's body had faded a bit.

This is a somewhat strange guy, just like Niels.

For no reason, this idea came to Duncan's mind.

-

As he gradually approached the hall, Duncan ended his introduction to the city of Enoch.As if a little casually, he suddenly mentioned:

"What do you think of Noah, and what kind of city Enoch is here?"

This is a difficult question to answer. If answered truthfully, all the words that Lucien or Hyde would think of at once would be derogatory.This is a disgusting and miserable world, whether it is the people struggling like maggots or the Enochian nobles who raise humans as livestock, they are no better.

"How should I put it... The Royal City of Enoch is indeed spectacular."

Hyde scratched his hair in embarrassment, this was the only compliment he could think of.

Duncan seemed to see what they were thinking, but he just shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

"I think so, Nod is really not a good place-I wonder what a more normal world you're living in is like?"

"At least most people there can enjoy normal food without worrying about the accumulation of pollution and curses, and don't have to worry about being turned into someone else's food... Even ordinary people without any power can keep a certain degree of dignity.”

Duncan was silent for a long time, took a deep breath and let it out slowly, which was almost the same as what he heard from Sophia.It was indeed a wonderful place beyond the imagination of the people of Nod.If the content of the prophecy is true, they will eventually return to the country bathed in the grace of God.

"That sounds really good. After the meeting is over, can you please go to the downtown area for a few drinks together? I want to know more about the material world—"

Having said this, the tall man lowered his voice.

"You have to be careful with the Holy Blood Party, they are different from me... Those guys don't think they still belong to human beings, if they can really return to that world, they will be the most worthy of your attention. And even if Even in Enoch, those lunatics may cause some unexpected troubles in order to seek the so-called glory."

Lucien looked at Duncan in astonishment. This really shouldn't be what he should say to the envoy who met for the first time.The man in front of him was a little too straightforward—no, he was even naive.

"Is that okay, Lord Coleridge, I think this can be regarded as a secret to some extent."

"I'm a rough man, I haven't given it that much thought - just call me Duncan."

Duncan, who called himself a rough man, gave a rare smile, and Lucien seemed to have remembered something, and waved to a wizard to take a box from the goods.

Chapter 74 Friendship

Duncan took the overly ornate gold-rimmed wooden box with both hands, and a pair of small and delicate pistols were crossed on the black satin.They are covered with silver paint and exquisite enamel from the handle to the barrel. On the left side of the barrel decorated with serpentine patterns are two small sections of cursive letters. The "bloody death" in the previous section should represent The exclusive name of this pair of guns, and the latter paragraph shows that it is a collection of the Belusay family.

Duncan had the experience of living in the wilderness and was no stranger to muskets. He simply turned a few times in his hand to roughly determine the structure of the pistol.

They were a pair of breech-loading percussion guns, an unusual configuration in Nod.Duncan remembered that outsiders brought this kind of thing into Nod a few years ago. Although the reloading speed was more than three times faster than that of traditional front-loading guns, it was difficult for the wilderness to replenish the ammunition with primers. At the very least, they are mass-produced in large gathering places with thousands of people.

He tried to break off the pull rod on the trigger guard, and then lowered the lock block. In this area, Duncan found a complex and precise array that was very unfamiliar to Duncan. In the place where the firing pin should have been, there was an octahedron cone the size of a grain of rice. .

Lucien pointed to the position of the octahedron and explained:

"This is a masterpiece that combines modern technology and alchemy. The craftsmen of the Belusay family sealed up five units of fire elements here. This thing is far more sensitive and easier to control than thunder mercury, and it can be replenished by itself. As for the other few Each spell is strengthening and blessing, and the bullet before it exits is equivalent to using a complete flame spell as propulsion."

Duncan was a little confused. Although he didn't know much about the basic theory of magic, he was still very clear about the power generated by a fireball when it burst.Not to mention a hollow copper pipe as thick as a thumb, even a solid iron rod might be completely bent by this force.

"Can your barrel and shooter withstand such a force?"

"The barrel of the gun is reinforced with mithril, and the decorations on the outside can also absorb the impact, and it's not just for looking good."

As he spoke, Lucien signaled the wizard to take out the second box, which contained two rows of dark yellow bullets.Dense patterns like clouds are carved on the bullet's warhead. When you look closely, there seems to be a strange blood-like pattern there. I have to say that this thing should be in line with the aesthetics of most dirty vampires. Preparer Looks quite attentive.

"The forty special bullets that match this pistol will split into large strands of metal fragments after hitting the target. Each shrapnel is enchanted with violent bleeding and tearing. If it hits the target directly, even if it is It is also fatal to the foul blood or the alienated monsters in the wilderness."

"Since Lord Duncan is the commander of Enoch's guards, there must be many opportunities to fight - even if this item is not worthy of your own combat power, it should be very good to give to your trustworthy subordinates. "

The moment Duncan Kovalic heard this sentence, he thought of a suitable candidate.This pair of small things should be held by Sophia, and it is indeed perfect to use them for self-defense.

"However, except for our factory, it is unlikely that this kind of bullet will be mass-produced for the time being, and the same is true for firearm maintenance. Even if there are no more than ten people within us who can do this kind of work."

Lucien's tone was flat, as if he had occasionally thought of an insignificant matter.

Duncan frowned. The other party's meaning was already very straightforward. He wanted to have a long-term cooperation with him.For the vast majority of Enoch's dirty blood, this is an opportunity worth paying a high price for, but the messenger cast this kindness on himself.

As if seeing Duncan's confusion, Lucien smiled and explained:

"In addition to the parts that need to be handed over to Her Majesty the Queen, we also hope to make some friends in Enoch. This can be regarded as a reward for your kindness."

Duncan said nothing more, just nodded and put the two boxes away.
