Goddess Wanhua Mirror

A dozen gangsters squatted in a circle on the ground. Lu De stared at them for a while, and suddenly found that this problem was quite difficult to solve.

You say let it go!This bunch of rubbish are all scumbags. Although they are low-level gangsters, they are often more hateful than big hooligans.Because they are also weak, they only wield knives at weaker ones, and in many cases, their behavior style is even more bottomless than those big hooligans who talk about rules.

If these scourges were allowed to leave like this, the consequences would be the same as releasing poisonous snakes into residential areas. They would only harm innocent people, but killing them would be difficult.It’s fine if one or two of them are the heinous ones. The key is that there are more than a dozen here, and the number has already exceeded Lu De’s inner moral bottom line.

Fortunately, he quickly figured out a solution to this entanglement.

If they can't be killed and can't be released, then send them to the north for labor reform!

The three sisters mentioned to themselves before that they discovered several new veins deep underground and wanted to mine them.But now they only have the third level of divine power. If they continue to increase the number of divine envoys under their command, they are worried that their divine power will be overrun.

You must know that envoys are the same as priests, and their power also comes from their own gods, so if the rank is not enough, too many envoys are created hastily, which will instead form a drag.

It's worth mentioning that although Hume's divine power was sealed due to the curse of the God of War, she just couldn't use the power of the god herself. The divine power still exists in her body, and the believers' beliefs can also be absorbed as usual.Therefore, it is more than enough to offer the fallen leaves that are the only remaining fruits.

Talking about the treatment of this group of scumbags, Lude felt that since the three sisters needed labor to open the mine, it was just a good time to pack these guys and send them there.

They have a new prop developed by the three sisters with the idea provided by Lude. It is called the "Three-dimensional Recovery Device". A balloon will pop up from behind, which can quickly lift people into the air.

So Lu De saw Arvette and asked her to bring the sisters to knock out the group of scumbags and take them away first. After dark at night, use the "three-dimensional recovery device" to send them all to the sky one by one, and then Let Kang Na take it away, send it back to her hometown in the north, and hand it over to the three sisters.

For his "humanization" decision, Lu De can be said to be quite satisfied, and he couldn't help but admire himself in his heart.

"I'm such a kind-hearted bastard!"

End of this chapter

For the huge Yanmu City, the disappearance of a dozen oddballs overnight is not really news at all. Instead, another "supernatural event" has become the topic of conversation among ordinary local residents after dinner.More than one person claimed that they heard groups of "ghost cries" passing overhead in the middle of the night, scaring them so much that they couldn't sleep.

As for those big figures with certain energy, most of them were attracted by the incident of "the beggar emperor was deflated".

The cause of the whole incident stems from a kidnapping case. A group of gangsters from Mouse Street kidnapped the No. [-] actor of the Rainbow Song and Dance Troupe, and planned to demand a ransom of [-] gold coins from the troupe.This song and dance troupe is currently becoming popular because of the popular new drama King of the Caves. It is not surprising that these young people are eyeing it.

You must know that kidnapping is considered an "intangible cultural heritage" of Yanmu City. The main targets are those foreign businessmen who look like "fat sheep". Every year, hundreds of people walk on the street eating hot pot and singing Ge, was suddenly tied up by a group of masked men who came out of nowhere.

Thanks to these kidnappers, the local bodyguard industry has flourished, and the two sides will engage in some exciting "limited-time linkage" from time to time.

But the development of this kidnapping case became weird. Only a few hours after the incident, the Beggar Emperor led hundreds of his men to look for the kidnapper's dignitary.Then he turned his head and didn't go far, and was robbed by the undead warlock who suddenly came out on his own territory.

And the meat ticket that changed hands twice appeared at the back door of the Skyline Opera House shortly thereafter. Except for a big bag left by the sap on the back of the head, this unlucky boy who was about to be frightened into a fool, can be said to be full of beards and tails. returned to his home.

Some people take this incident as a joke, but some people think that there is a lot of strangeness in it, and many details become more intriguing the more you think about it.

Everyone wants to know, this song and dance troupe from out of town, what kind of gods and demons are covering them behind them, and they lost an actor, so they made such a big battle to find them.

After the incident happened, Jed, who had entrusted the Beggar Emperor with his work, was shocked when he learned that the Beggar Emperor had been robbed by necromancers.

He suddenly realized one thing. A few months ago, the undead warlock who was looking for the artifact of stealing the gods and the Navarro family had a conflict in the north of the kingdom.The Navarro family suffered heavy losses. The eldest son became a living dead, the super-class expert supported by the family was abolished, and the necromancer disappeared after being seriously injured. He was once suspected to have died in an unknown corner.

At that time, Jed mobilized the power at hand to investigate secretly, so he knew many details that other third-party forces did not know.

For example, the place where the conflict broke out is located in an underground labyrinth called "Spiral Abyss" deep in the Void Forest, and the local area is the sphere of influence of the God of Medicine Sect. The rumored "Saint Lude" is even more A high-ranking priest with unfathomable strength.

So Jed couldn't help speculating whether there was such a possibility that Dick, who was seriously injured at the time, happened to be rescued by the saint who was exploring the maze, so he saved his life.And in view of this life-saving grace, the necromancer who returned to Yanmu City would rescue the Rainbow Song and Dance Troupe sponsored by the God of Medicine Sect.

As for why the righteous and righteous saint wanted to save an evil necromancer, you have to ask yourself to know. Anyway, there must be some relationship between the two parties.

Most of the other forces in the city who are concerned about the movements of the necromancers also drew similar inferences from Jed based on this incident, and turned their attention to the Skyline Opera House, and the Rainbow Song and Dance Troupe once again became the focus of attention.

For such a result, Lude had expected it before he did it, but he still deliberately used the Rainbow Song and Dance Troupe as a bait. Although it would definitely cause some trouble to Servis and the others, at least Lude would not just sit idly by.

On the second day after Barr was rescued, Jed sent an invitation letter, wanting to invite Mr. Hugo out for lunch at the most famous high-end restaurant in the city, and Jed had already prepared a high-end private room in advance.

Faced with Jed's obvious invitation, Lude naturally did not refuse, and after making some arrangements, he took Alvette out to the banquet together.

As soon as the two arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, an attendant who had met in the casino before took the initiative to greet them, and led them to the luxurious private room on the top floor of the restaurant, where Jed, wearing the iconic iron mask, was sitting in the room , When he saw Lu De coming in, he took the initiative to say hello.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Hugo, I was still worried that you might not be able to make time for the banquet because you are too busy."

"Generally, when other people invite guests, I will definitely not be absent."

"Haha, that's really nice."

After Lu De took his seat, Jed immediately greeted people to serve the food, and the waiters who filed in filed filled the whole table with food in a short while.

This high-end restaurant is actually an industry under Jade's name. From decoration, service to dishes, all of them focus on the most authentic "Empire Style".Jed thinks he is authentic enough, and he is at least one rank higher than the Kingdom side in terms of enjoyment and compulsion, and he is well received in the local high society.

At this time, Jed suddenly made a movement, he reached out and took off the iron mask on his face, revealing a severely disfigured face, feeling like he could go to Hollywood to play Deadpool without makeup!

Seeing that the other party took the initiative to reveal the terrifying true face of his mask, Lu De asked quite curiously.

"How did you get hurt? With your financial resources, why don't you find a local priest to treat it?"

"It's useless, I'm not disfigured, but a curse! Ordinary priest's healing techniques are ineffective for me. Unless the gods come in person or the person who cursed me withdraws the spell power, I will die like this ghost Look. Do you think I'd be willing to put such a thing on my head every day?"

In front of Rudd, Jed shares a little secret that few people know.Anyone who knows Jed in Yanmu City is curious about what his real face looks like. Some people even saw Jed's extraordinary conversation and elegant manners, and made up a super handsome face by themselves, and then began to be unaffected. Controlling nympho.

If the members of the "Jade Fan Club" see the truth, they will be heartbroken.

Lu De was a little uncertain for a while, Jade invited him out for dinner, and suddenly showed him this cursed face, what was the purpose?

Wait a moment!He just seemed to say "unless the gods come in person"!

Generally speaking, except for the god of war Fegole who often watches duels in the arena of the Aegis Capital, most other gods rarely show up in front of mortals. Maintain a sense of sacredness, so each of them is there.

On the contrary, those evil gods who can't see the light are more close to the people, and often use their avatars to walk in the mortal world, bewitching those ignorant mortals.

So what Jed said seems to be implying that Lu De, the reason why he joined the Brotherhood of the Black Hand is to ask the fake God of Thieves, hoping that the other party can help him break the curse of disfigurement.And now that he frequently expresses kindness to himself, he probably has the same idea.

End of this chapter

Counting the dead skinner Vernon, Jed is the most junior of the six elders of the Brotherhood of the Black Hand.

But even so, he has served the organization for a full 25 years, and even became an elder.As far as the average lifespan of the human race in this world is concerned, this is almost half a lifetime.

In the past 25 years, Jed has been working hard for the development of the Brotherhood through fire and water, and he has been utterly loyal to the god he believed in.However, 25 years have passed, and Jed still has not received the grace promised by the gods. Now he can only sigh in his heart, after all, he paid by mistake.

Things are indeed as Lude speculated, Jed's frequent release of kindness to him is to hope that through him he can connect with the God of Medicine Cult thousands of miles away, this is an idea he had long ago.

Originally, Jed wanted to go to the north of the kingdom in person to meet the saint Luther, who was said to be chosen by God, but Yanwood City and Pine Town were separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and going back and forth was time-consuming, laborious and risky. And here in Yanmu City, I have a huge family business to manage, and I can't leave easily, so I haven't been able to take action.

According to Jed's inference, Hugo must have a lot to do with the God of Medicine Sect. He even suspected that the other party was Lu De, and Hugo was just a pseudonym.

Because according to the information he has in hand, Saint Luther once received divine grace in Oyster Harbor, not only brought back to life, but also rejuvenated, from a 70-year-old white-bearded old man to a young man in his early twenties, many details are Can match up with this Hugo in front of him.It's a pity that Jed doesn't have a portrait of Lude at hand, and he hasn't seen his own subordinates, so he can't make an accurate judgment simply by guessing.

certainly!Taking the initiative to contact and show favor with Hugo (Lude), Jed didn't want to join another court.He just waited too long for 25 years to see if he could get help from gods from other sects.He never thought about betraying the Brotherhood of the Black Hand, because the organization treats traitors cruelly, as an elder, he knows better than those younger brothers below.

Jed can't afford to be a decent man in general, and those high-ranking gods are not masters who can be hired with money, otherwise he wouldn't go to the doctor in a hurry and run to mess with the thief god.

But there are always exceptions in this world. Some people will receive special favor from the gods. Some may be because of their noble character, and some may simply be because the gods see you pleasing to the eye. These people are called "God's Chosen Ones." , and Luther is not only a chosen one, but also a saint who has received divine grace, and his status must be extraordinary.

Jed hopes to use Lude's relationship to see if he can invite the God of Medicine, maybe he can help him get rid of the curse on his face.

At the dinner table, Jed chatted with Lude a lot, and he told Lude that under the surface prosperity of Yanmu City, it was actually full of unsightly devastation, and the wealth was piled up on countless bones. Jewelry hides blood dripping.

Every year, countless young people with dreams are attracted here. They naively think that they are blessed by the gods and can get ahead with their own abilities. In the end, they are sadly reduced to the nourishment of this cannibal city, and they are beaten to the bone and sucked to the point that there is not even scum left.

But Jed's situation is different. He was originally a nobleman from the Canary Empire. He was forced to go into exile because of his involvement in political struggle. The family guards served on the left and right, relying on this solid capital, they took root in Yanmu City.

Mentioning the experience of the past 25 years, Jed had a lot of emotion. He drank one cup after another, and he became a little drunk after a while, but Lude reckoned that this guy was half-truthful , Pretending to tell the truth after drinking, wanting to get closer to himself.

"To be honest, I also went to see the premiere of "The King of the Grotto", but I can assure you that no one in the audience at that time understood Edmond's state of mind better than I did. Compared with him, I am a Fortunately, I escaped in time and was not thrown into the black prison, and I gained a firm foothold here. But I really don’t know if I will have the happy ending like Edmond in the future. After 25 years, I don’t even know I can’t even remember what I looked like!”

"Don't be sad, Mr. Jed, there will be a way."

"What method? I don't know how many methods I have tried over the years, but none of them worked. Although I don't know who is cursing me, at least one thing is certain, it is definitely not a mortal. Do you understand what I mean?"

"After listening to what you said, of course I understand what you mean. That's why I told you... There will be a way."

"..."

As soon as Lu De's words fell, Jed, who was still drunk, regained his sobriety almost instantly.

Seeing that this guy stopped pretending, Lu De smiled and said.

"As for the curse on your face, I actually don't know much about it, so I dare not assure you that it will work, but at least I can try."

"You... really have a way?"

"I don't, but I know someone who might have, and more than one."

Hearing Lude say "more than one", Jed's pupils seemed to have a small-scale earthquake for a moment, and his heart was so excited that it almost stopped beating.

"Is the God of Medicine Sect really so powerful?"

"There is also the Pantheon at the top of the Medicine God Sect. Since it is called the Pantheon, you can take it literally. Do you know the Steel Whip clan that is currently settled in the north? They have collectively converted, and now they believe in Craftsmanship of the three goddesses, and these three goddesses are also from the Pantheon."

"But... excuse my ignorance, I really haven't heard about the Pantheon before. Will the gods also form gangs?"

"I'm even more curious. Why do you think gods don't form gangs? In the battle of the gods 300 years ago, hundreds of gods participated in the battle. Could it be that they all fought on their own and fought in disorder?"

"Ah this..."

Although what Lude said was somewhat beyond imagination, Jed thought about it a little bit and found that it sounded reasonable, and it was not unacceptable.But immediately after Lude's next sentence, it immediately exceeded his cognition.

"By the way, Hume, the God of Thieves, also belongs to the Pantheon."

"Wait a minute! Who? Who's from the Pantheon?"

Hearing Lude say a familiar name suddenly, Jed's eyes widened suddenly, showing an expression of disbelief.

Jade is not very clear about other gods, but Hume the God of Thieves is related to his "professional field". The elder trusted by the former chairman, Jed actually has some abilities similar to priests, which is the power bestowed on him by Lord Thief God.

He joined the Brotherhood of the Black Hand for 25 years, and he also believed in Hume, the God of Thieves, for 25 years. He had never heard of the God of Thieves coming out of the Pantheon, but seeing Luther's swearing expression, Jed, who knew countless people, I vaguely felt that he might not have lied.

End of this chapter

Because he suddenly heard words that conflicted with his old cognition, Jed's mind was a little confused for a while, and he was trying to figure it out.

Jed remembered very clearly that he had talked with Lude until now, and only said that he had a time when he could not help himself in Yanwood City, but he did not mention anything about his belonging to the Brotherhood of the Black Hand and his belief in the God of Thieves. .

And Lu De suddenly mentioned the name of Thief God in front of him, no matter how you look at it, it was not an accidental act, obviously he knew himself better than he expected before.

"Mr. Hugo, I'm curious. You said that Hume, the God of Thieves, is a god from the Pantheon. Is there any basis for this statement?"

"Basis? Does God of Thieves count?"

"...Are you kidding me?"

"Of course not, let's do this! I called a friend in. We have known each other for a short time. It is normal for you to distrust me, but he has known you for a long time, and his words must be more convincing than mine."

"Who?"

"See for yourself, come in!"

As soon as Lu De finished speaking, the door of the box opened suddenly, and a man in a dark gray suit came in from outside.

Jed couldn't help being surprised when he saw this. This high-end restaurant is his property, so he belongs to him inside and out.Originally, there should have been two guards guarding the door of the box, but the gray-robed man in front of him came in without any obstruction, which was obviously abnormal.

At this time, the gray-robed man raised his head, revealing a face with a vertical pupil mask. It was the necromancer who had been haunting Yanmu City recently.

As if seeing what Jed was worried about, the necromancer said in a very hoarse voice.

"Don't worry, I just made your subordinates temporarily unable to move. There is no need to worry about their lives, and they will be up in a while."

As the necromancer said, he pulled a chair and sat down on his own. Jed couldn't help but looked him up and down.Although he and the Necromancer belonged to the same Brotherhood, and had seen each other before, but after all, they were not familiar with each other, so it was difficult to judge whether the other party was real or not from the other party's demeanor, movements or other details at this moment.

But he quickly noticed that the necromancer's hand, the left hand of the other party on the table, was obviously deformed, and the fingers were bent like chicken feet. This unusual body feature exactly matched the necromancer in his memory .Since the opponent can suddenly run into the box without making a sound, at least his strength should not be underestimated.

The appearance of the necromancer, in a sense, is a guess that Jade made before. This guy is also related to the God of Medicine Sect. Maybe he can survive and increase his strength, thanks to that saint. give.

Fortunately, as far as the current situation is concerned, the two people in front of him are not hostile to him, which makes Jed feel a little relieved, but he also has more doubts.

"Since the necromancer is here, I guess Mr. Hugo must also know my other identity? Forget it! Don't pretend, I negotiated. I am the elder 'Faceless' of the Brotherhood of the Black Hand, and at the same time I am also a believer in Hume, the God of Thieves, so now I hope you can explain clearly, what is the relationship between God of Thieves and the Pantheon you just mentioned?"

"That's a long story..."

Taking a sip of tea to moisten his throat, Lude introduced the origin and concept of the Pantheon like a storyteller, but this is not the point. In the past few decades, it may have been fooled by a liar.

When Jed heard this, he immediately interrupted.

"This is impossible! If I believe in a liar, then what is my power?"

As Jed said, he suddenly raised his hand to grab the void, the entire palm and half of his forearm suddenly turned into a shadow, and then Jed's palm suddenly protruded from Lude's right back, his nails became sharp like claws, and stopped It is less than five centimeters away from Lude's face.

This trick is called Shadow Raid, and it is one of Thief God's iconic magic spells, a sneak attack type attack magic spell.At present, Hume himself, whose divine power has been sealed by the curse of God of War, can no longer be used, but the counterfeit product will not be affected.
