A man in the ark was forced to become a king

But the three of them are not ordinary people. Naturally, they will not be afraid because of the environment. Even the weakest Warfarin is a blood demon, so she does not feel any fear when walking on the road. Rather, she is quite Being adapted to this dark environment, she was jumping around as she walked. Kelsey's eyelids kept twitching as she watched, and she almost couldn't help but give her a slap.

"Ahead, the lights are on."

Skadi turned a blind eye to Warfarin's behavior. There were not so many things in her mind, and all her thoughts were focused on the journey. Ever since she sensed the smell of Heirloom, she has not let down her guard. Xi wanted to concentrate a little more, so he was the first to notice the light shining in the window of a house not far away.

Yanfeng City is located at the sea. It has been eroded by the sea wind without repairs. There seem to be many mottled marks in the city. In the middle of the road, weak light shines from the windows of the houses that are also dyed with a lot of green color, falling on the three sides. In human eyes, there is a slight twinkle.

"Go and have a look."

Kelsey saw it, thought about it, and was about to go.

"I'm going, I'm going!"

Warfarin moved faster, ran over first, and knocked on the rusty iron door.

"Is anyone here?"

Seeing this, Kelsey frowned and moved her lips slightly, wanting to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.

An inhabited house suddenly appeared on a deserted street with no human habitation. It didn't look normal. Logically speaking, we should observe and observe first. If Warfarin behaves recklessly, he might suffer a loss. If If only the two of them came out this time, she would have caught this off-tempered guy long ago.

However, now that Skadi is with us, we don’t have so many worries. Although Skadi is more straightforward and naive, he is quite trustworthy in terms of force. Even if he encounters something strange, the monster can still handle it. As for what really happened.

"Who?"

A hoarse voice sounded from behind the door. He was very alert. He just asked but did not open the door.

"I--"

"We are travelers from out of town. We are passing through Yanfeng City and want to find a place to rest. Is it convenient?"

Kelsey covered Warfarin's mouth, pulled her back two steps, and only answered after confirming that Skadi was beside her.

"From out of town?"

creak~

The rusted iron door opened a gap, and the appearance of the person inside could not be seen clearly, as if he was observing. After a moment, the door was actually opened, revealing the slightly rickety figure behind.

The owner of the house didn't look very old. He was a middle-aged Li Boli in his forties. He was skinny, his eyes were cloudy and bloodshot, and his voice was hoarse.

His eyes jumped back and forth between the three of them, and finally fell on Skadi, who was carrying a big sword on his back, and nodded.

"Come in, I haven't seen anyone from outside for many years."

"Thank you."

Kelsey politely thanked her and pulled Warfarin into the house, with Skadi following behind silently.

After all three people entered the house, the middle-aged man closed the door again, carefully tightened several door bolts, and attached two thick iron ropes. It seemed that these two chains were tied like this when the door was opened just now. It can be used to observe the outside, and it can also be used as insurance to prevent people from outside from suddenly breaking in.

But do we need to be so careful inside the city?

Kelsey's eyes flickered, and she had some guesses about the situation in Salt Wind City.

"Where do you guys come from?"

After locking the door, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, forced a smile on his slightly pale face, and turned around to ask.

"We came from Rembito. We originally planned to go to Sargon through Iberia. Unexpectedly, we encountered a natural disaster halfway. When we escaped, we happened to walk outside the city and wanted to find a place to rest for a while. Let’s continue on our way.”

Kelsey made up a lie casually and looked at the room with her peripheral vision.

The space inside the house is spacious, but the furnishings are a bit old. Obviously the owner of the house has no thought to take care of it. Obvious dust stains can be seen in many corners. There is even a layer of dust on the shelves in the living room. Some lanterns and other miscellaneous items.

An oil lamp that did not match the spacious room was placed on the table by the window, and some light flowed out through the gap in the window blocked by wooden boards.

This light was obviously not enough to illuminate the entire living room, so the room was not bright and dim, and it was barely possible to see things clearly.

Judging from these details, we can know that the living conditions of the residents here are probably very difficult.

"Rembiton, Sargon..."

The middle-aged man muttered these two words, shook his head after a moment, and sighed: "I haven't heard anything about the outside world for a long time... You want to find a place to rest? That's easy. There are empty houses everywhere in the city. , you can live in any one you choose.”

"but……"

A look of hesitation appeared on his face, and he finally gritted his teeth and said: "You should leave quickly. Yanfeng City is not a place to rest. It is easy to live in, but it is difficult to leave."

"why?"

Kelsi didn't say anything, so Warfarin couldn't help but ask first.

Ever since she entered the house, she had a strange feeling, like something was wrong, but she couldn't find the will.

"Because this city is already dead..."

The middle-aged man sighed and shook his head. He seemed to have some scruples. He did not explain in depth, but just waved his hand: "Anyway, you can rest here. I am close to the outside of the city. It won't take long for you to run out, but don't go any further. If you meet... you won't be able to leave, they won't let you leave."

"You smell like Hai Hei."

Suddenly, Skadi, who had been silent all this time, took the big sword behind him in his hand, took two steps forward, and his eyes suddenly became sharp. The middle-aged man was so frightened that he backed away and almost knocked down the shelf behind him.

"Agor! You are-"

He seemed to have made a guess, and the expression of fear and struggle changed on his face. Finally, his body softened and he sat slumped on the ground. He said dejectedly: "You are right, those monsters from the sea have polluted this place. Use Soon everyone will die."

"Calm down, Skadi."

Kelsey stretched out her hand to stop Skadi, who had a stern gaze, and stood in front of her. She comforted her in as gentle a tone as possible: "Don't be afraid, we don't want to do anything to you. Can you tell us about Saltwind City?" ?”

"Aren't you just travelers passing by? Are you coming to Saltwind City?"

The middle-aged man sat on the floor, his eyes never leaving Skadi holding the big sword.

"Looking at your clothes, you are not members of the Tribunal, nor are you lackeys of the church, but... who would pay attention to this dead city?"

He seemed to be asking or talking to himself. After finishing speaking, he fell silent and let out a long sigh.

"If you want to know, I can tell you, but after that, you may not be able to leave. Salt Wind City is now full of minions of the church. This Argor man cannot protect you."

"Church? What church?"

"The Church of the Deep Sea."

Boom!

As soon as this word was spoken, a hole was made in the floor of the room by the big sword. Skadi's eyes widened slightly, and the palm holding the sword hilt was harder. An invisible aura enveloped the entire room, and even Warfarin was stunned. She was startled and quickly hugged her body to prevent her from doing anything extreme.

"Scadi, calm down!"

"...I'm fine."

Skadi took a deep breath, her violent aura subsided, and she turned back into a naive girl. Her hatred for the Deep Sea Church could not be explained in a few words, but she would not vent her anger on an ordinary person.

"you you!"

The middle-aged man was probably frightened by Skadi's sudden outburst. He trembled for a long time before he recovered, and moved to a position leaning against the wall. There was obvious fear and hatred in his cloudy eyes.

"Since you want to know, I'll tell you everything."

"Iberia abandoned Salt Wind City. After that, the Deep Sea Church occupied this place. Now, the entire city is under their control. No one can escape. Many people have become the lackeys of the church, pursuing something. Glorious evolution, they have many people, and they also possess powerful power that ordinary people do not have. If they discover that outsiders have entered, it is absolutely impossible for you to escape under the pursuit of the church."

"What about the Inquisition? They don't know what's going on here?"

Kelsey ignored what the middle-aged man said about being hunted by the church. Perhaps for ordinary people, it was indeed very scary and a nightmare that they could not escape from, but for them, it was just like that, not even worth taking to heart.

They had their backs against the big tree to enjoy the shade. They were now leaning against the golden tree. They were confident. Not to mention the others, Skadi alone was enough to provide them with a solid force guarantee. Not to mention bulldozing Salt Wind City, at least they could protect themselves. There is no problem at all.

Rather than the dangers she may encounter, she pays more attention to the information she can obtain. That is what is truly useful.

"Inquisition? Haha..."

Mentioning this name, the middle-aged man sneered, seeming to be very disdainful.

"What's the use of the Tribunal? They can't even take care of themselves. The people they send are young people with no ability. They can't see the situation clearly. Even if someone comes to inspect, they can easily fool them. They haven't been here all these years. So many times, haven’t you discovered anything?”

"Those high-ranking inquisitors who are full of commandments still don't know that Salt Wind City, which they think is safe and sound, has long been controlled by the Deep Sea Church, and even the people in the city are about to turn into monsters!"

"How does the Deep Sea Church control Saltwind City?"

It stands to reason that there are a lot of residents in Saltwind City, and the Deep Sea Church... Kelsey knows something about this organization. She can only say that the underground church will never be able to come to the fore. What they can do is not very powerful. Even the Inquisition can't handle it. The most it can do is make small moves in the dark to develop believers. It is simply impossible to completely control a large city with a population of tens of thousands and block the news tightly.

But they did it, and they did it perfectly. It was so perfect that the inquisitor of the Tribunal had been to Saltwind City several times and found nothing unusual, which made Kelsey very puzzled.

If the Deep Sea Church is so powerful, then Iberia should have fallen into their hands long ago. Where is the Tribunal?

"Food, they have a monopoly on food."

The hatred in the eyes of the middle-aged man became more and more obvious, and he explained in a disgusting tone: "Yanfeng City is a city by the sea. The land here is not suitable for growing crops. In the past, we all relied on fishing at sea to make a living. At that time, There are many things to eat in the sea.”

"But after the disaster, the sea was completely occupied by monsters. Where can anything be fished out?"

"Not to mention whether you can gain something after going to sea, even how to deal with the monsters in the sea after going out is a problem."

"Then, the Church of the Deep Sea appeared. They didn't know what method they used to reach an agreement with the monsters in the sea. Those monsters would regularly send edible seafood and let the Church of the Deep Sea distribute it. If they want to live, whether they want it or not If you starve to death, you must obey them.”

"It's impossible to escape even if you want. How can the Church of the Deep Sea be so kind as to provide free food? There's something wrong with those seafoods. If you eat too much, you may turn into a monster! Even if you don't turn into a monster for the time being, eating those things People will also be under the surveillance of the church, and they will be arrested if they try to escape. Anyone who tries to escape will die."

"The meat of sea heirs is inedible, and the same goes for creatures contaminated by sea heirs. It will cause the human body to undergo alienation. It will either die, or gradually adapt, and finally mutate into something like fish fear."

Skadi added an explanation after the middle-aged man finished speaking.

She doesn't understand other things, but for Haiji, she has been dealing with those things for many years. It can be said that the familiar ones are no longer familiar. What will happen to eating Haiji or things contaminated by it is her responsibility. Saw it with my own eyes.

The residents of Yanfeng City should have eaten similar things, and accumulated them over the years. There should be a lot of them, and they even have the smell of sea heir in their bodies. If this situation is allowed to continue, I'm afraid In the end, the entire city will become a sea heir's lair, and everyone living here will turn into irrational Terror Fish.

"Yes, that thing can't be eaten...but, what can we do?"

The middle-aged man smiled to himself and murmured in a low voice.

"If we don't eat, there will be no food and we will starve to death. We have no choice..."

"Then who are you?"

Kelsey looked up and down at the middle-aged man sitting against the wall with scrutinizing eyes, her tone inexplicable.

"Ordinary people don't know so many things."

Neither the methods of the Deep Sea Church nor the understanding of Hai Hei are accessible to ordinary people. Even if the people of the Deep Sea Church have no brains, they cannot spread this kind of news everywhere, even if Saltwind City has become their base camp. , ordinary residents can only tell that something is not right about what they are eating, how can they say it so clearly?Do you have such a clear judgment on the situation?

Based on this person’s understanding of the Deep Sea Church, there are many doubts no matter how you look at it.

"Me? Just an ordinary person struggling to survive."

"Your remarks are not ordinary at all."

"What's the point of talking about it now?"

The middle-aged man raised his head and met Kelsey's eyes, his self-deprecating look becoming more obvious.

"If you must, my name is Mills. I used to be the director of the Salt Wind City Biological Research Institute. Is this answer enough to satisfy you?"

"enough."

The director of the Biological Research Institute is indeed qualified to know this information. Even if he didn't know it before, he should be able to study it on his own over the years. Kelsey believed some of Mills' identity, but not completely.

"How can a person like you survive until now without joining the Deep Sea Church?"

"Who knows, maybe there is no use in keeping me. They are quite patient. Who knows what those crazy people who are full of evolution think."

Mills waved his hand half-heartedly, got up from the ground, and looked at Skadi again.

"Agor, you should know how difficult those things are. I advise you to take your companions and leave as soon as possible."

"You care about her?"

Kelsey's eyes flashed, and she noticed something that had been ignored before - compared to her and Warfarin, Mills seemed to care more about Skadi. To be precise, he cared about the identity of the Skati Agor people. I didn’t want her to die here, so I tried to persuade her many times.

There may be a reason why they are willing to let them into the house. Otherwise, how could a cautious person who knows how to put several locks on the door open the door to a stranger so easily?

"My teacher is an Agor."

Mills did not deny it, explained the reason in a low voice, and stared at Skadi for a while, as if hesitating for something.

The atmosphere in the room fell silent with his silence. Just when Warfarin was about to say something, Mills spoke again.

"Looking at you, you don't plan to leave. I don't know what your purpose is for coming here, but I think you won't come here for tourism, and you must have your own support."

"Well, I have some news for you. Maybe this lady will be interested."

"what news?"

Noticing that Mills' eyes never moved away from him, Skadi looked over expressionlessly.

"Some time ago, before you, there was an outsider breaking into Saltwind City, and that outsider was also an Argor."

"The people from the church had a fight with her. I have to say that that guy was more like a monster than the monsters kept in the church. In the end, it was the bishop who took action to suppress her and control her."
