Spend time in boring copywriting.
……
As night approached, Lorenno lit a kerosene lamp and burned the paper full of words. He looked at the street lights outside the window - it was still very strange. There were magic street lights outside, but kerosene lamps were used inside the hotel. I don't know if they were in a noble house. Is it also a magic lamp for lighting?
She stopped writing and rolled the coins in her hand to rest her fingers. She was thinking about how Lawrence was doing. She was lonely and had no children of the same age in Demon Suppressor Town. Adults couldn't be friends. Although she didn't know what Lawrence thought, at least The girl felt that the kind fat businessman should be considered a friend.
"I hope he escaped."
Lorenno muttered, sleepiness came over him, he put out the newly lit kerosene lamp, and slowly took off his clothes and pants to go to bed. When he reached into his inner pocket, he suddenly stopped, took out a sea blue ring, and showed a trace of doubt: "This is?"
A glimmer of light emitted from the ring, and the sealed words appeared in the air: "I apologize for making you lose your mind in the arena. In times of crisis, a magic shield will be activated to withstand damage of about the size of a fireball. I'm sorry."
Lorenno thought about the feeling of being spied on in the arena. It turned out that it was a spell caster who did it. She thought about putting the ring directly on her hand and putting the ring silently into her inner pocket, but she couldn't beat it. She is a person, so it shouldn't be a bad cursed item, and she didn't smell anything bad.
As soon as she lay down on the bed, the half-closed window was pushed open with a "bang". She thought she was blown away by the wind. When she turned around, the knife in a black leather sheath was standing in front of her neck. A charming female voice sounded: "You are really lucky. It seems I don’t need to knock you out, little half-elf...sister, can you do me a favor~"
"Huh~huh~huh~huh~huh~huh~"
As the owner of Ander's Hotel, Ander has been in a bad mood recently - the guards suddenly broke into the hotel to check and rummage through the cabinets. Many of the guests were frightened and ran away thinking that this was a black shop, causing Ander to lose a lot of customers and money. Who is happy.
Fortunately, a very cute girl came here recently. Even if she wears a big hat that covers her ears every day, she can't hide her beauty. More and more people come to eat in the morning and evening, and she still never ends. Coming out of the Temple of Light.
Seeing that the number of customers was gradually decreasing, Ander was about to close the shop, when he saw a group of shabby faces suddenly darkened, and the Cardinal City soldiers walked over in order.
"Ender, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The captain of the soldier team smiled bitterly and patted Ender on the shoulder.
Ender asked angrily: "What the hell are you doing here again?"
"Someone's belongings were stolen from the nobles above. We were ordered to patrol. We have no choice. Don't worry, this time we are searching the whole city." The captain had no choice. Buying land next to the temple is not a good thing.
Although Ander was unhappy, he couldn't break the law and waved his hand: "Go up and don't disturb the guests."
After getting permission, the captain asked the soldiers to go up and gave them a warning look. They nodded and naturally knew what should be provoked and what should not be provoked. They knocked on the doors of each house and explained the reasons. They did not go in to search until the guests gave permission. All the way to the middle room, the soldier asked: "Can you come in? The whole city is searching for a thief..."
"Please come in~."
A charming female voice sounded, and the soldier pushed open the door and swallowed a lot because of the beauty of the woman lying on the bed in front of him.
Her long, slightly curly brown hair was draped down her back, and her pajamas that only reached her navel were half-opened to reveal her skin. Her brown eyes looked at the soldier in confusion, and she seemed to be holding a small child in her arms.
"Can you please check it quickly?"
The girl who was a little more awake pulled the quilt up a little. The soldier apologized, rummaged a little to make sure there were no prohibited items, and then exited. Anyway, he didn't give a death order.
When the soldiers walked away, Lorenno broke away from the girl's arms, looked at her and said, "Since the pursuers have left, can you please leave?"
"Hey, why don't you ask big sister why I'm being chased?"
"What he said was not very clear. The female snitch should not be found for stealing."
Lorenno already had enough worries and didn't want to talk to a stranger who didn't know what was good or bad. The girl held up the two balls of her lips with her arms, stood up from the bed, took off Lorenno's spare pajamas, and changed into the ones under the covers. She wore night clothes and tied her hair with a hairband to transform into a heroic female snitch. Lorenno grabbed her wrist when she took back her gloves.
"Why, I can't bear it when I see my sister's body." She winked without worrying about her own safety, "I can stay with you for one night."
"Auntie, I'm only 15. According to the laws of the empire, even if everyone is female, you will still go to jail." Lorenno looked at the ring on her finger and asked, "Where did you get this ring from?"
The girl said clearly: "Do you know the owner of the ring? I picked it off from the hand of a corpse in the sewer when I was hiding. He died not long ago. At 3 o'clock yesterday, he seemed to be chased into the sewer and killed. I was four When the time passed, I happened to pick up the things and planned to sell them together after stealing them today."
As a poor person, she didn't care whether someone died or not.
"If you want it, you can use it as a gift for helping me."
"...No need," Lorenno shook his head and let go of her hand, "You owe me a favor."
"it is good."
The girl answered simply. After putting on her equipment, she looked out of the window.
He jumped out of his mouth, then jumped back and kissed her at a speed that Lorenno couldn't react and said: "If you need anything, come to me in the small house on the far right side of the slum. My name is Selena~, I look forward to meeting you next time~"
Before she could leave, Lorenno frowned and called her: "What did you steal?"
Chapter 18 The Dead Businessman
"I can't say that."
Selena shook her finger when Lorenno asked about what she had stolen. Lorenno kindly reminded: "No matter what you stole, I smell the smell of the lower plane from you. You'd better be careful. Miss Selina."
Since leaving the Demon Suppression Zone, Lorenno has noticed that her senses have gradually undergone some strange changes, as if she had been instantly detected by magic before. Her perception has become stronger and stronger, and she can "smell" a person's characteristics with concentration.
On Selina's body, the girl smelled a magical aura that was similar to that of the blind priest before, full of sulfur and fireworks, and she had just contracted it.
"Ha, I'm a high-level professional, don't worry, I won't involve you."
After Selina finished speaking, she quickly jumped away from the window. Lorenno wanted to lie down and sleep, but hearing the news of Lawrence's death kept her awake at night. Finally, she took the wolf robe and prepared to go to the East Block to take a look.
Jumping out of the window, the girl went to a secret corner, put on her robe and ran quickly to the east block. She jumped into the sewer to avoid the soldiers who were searching the city, and moved forward cautiously while smelling the stench.
Rats, cockroaches and other creatures will appear in the sewers of normal cities. These are not the only things that can appear in the sewers on the mainland. Cultists will hold meetings in the sewers, and ghouls will scavenge here. If it is more serious, there may be The appearance of lower devils or demons.
Lorenno groped forward, his ears twitching, and following Selina's description, he soon saw the businessman's corpse. It had been bitten by rats and was in tatters, and its bulging belly was shriveled.
Lorenno, who was a little disappointed, smelled the smell of the businessman, and his expression gradually became serious - the smell of a corpse that had been rotting for several days was still the same dark and obscure.
The smell felt is not really a "smell", but a feeling. Other dead corpses never have that feeling. Only the merchant's corpse is special, unless there is something on him.
Lorenno waved his hand to drive away the rats. Unexpectedly, the rats with big palms were not afraid and bit him with red eyes. The girl had to draw her sword to kill the rats first, and then opened the merchant's body regardless of the mess.
A sword was struck in the abdomen, a large piece of flesh was gouged out, and the internal organs in the cavity had been devoured. Lorenno carefully checked the clothes to make sure there was nothing, then put his hand into the cavity and fished out the fuzzy flesh and blood. A dagger, that strange aura comes from it.
"Could they be followers of the evil god?" Lorenno whispered.
Now things became more complicated. Lorenno originally thought that Lawrence was killed by a noble, but this dagger looked like a ceremonial knife, and it was Lawrence who put the dagger that killed him deep into the body. Yes, it must be to preserve this weapon.
Putting away the strange dagger, Lorenno looked at Lawrence's body, bowed slightly, and turned to leave.
"You mean this was found from the body of the person who heard the conspiracy?"
The next day, Lorenno handed the dagger he found to Alice. Alice looked at the dagger seriously and asked, and when she got a definite answer, she felt deeply about the complexity of the question and immediately went to the bishop to explain the situation.
The bishop stroked the dagger, and after a while he frowned and opened his eyes: "It has the aura of the lower plane on it."
"Bishop, what should we do?"
After a long silence, Sal looked at Lorenno: "Mr. Lorenno, because you are delivering a message to Owulf, I confirm again that you dare to swear to the endless light with your soul that it is really from your eavesdropper. Did you get it from the friend who sent the message?"
"Yes, I swear with my soul to the endless light, what I said is what I saw." Lorenno knew why he had to ask so many times. If the upper class nobles are in cahoots with devils and demons, then what? But it's such a big deal that if you're not careful, the whole city will be destroyed.
When she finished saying this in the temple, Thrall looked at the medals on the heads of several people, finally relaxed, nodded and said to Alice: "Alice, how long will it take for the nearest paladin team to arrive."
"The fifth detachment of the Pale Grasp is patrolling the surrounding areas with the imperial soldiers to clear out possible lower plane teleportation arrays within the empire. They can arrive within five days." Alice turned down the book in her hand and said.
"Okay, use magic to notify them to come to Cardinal City as soon as possible." The old man stood up from his chair and burst out with an aura that frightened Lorenno: "Notify all personnel in the temple to enter the highest alert."
"Yes, where is the empire?"
"Inform the empire that if the nobles really collude with the devil, it must have nothing to do with the empire. After all, the queen is..."
After Alice walked away, Lorenno pointed to himself: "What about me?"
Thrall laughed: "You? If it's like Lorenno said, then it's not something that a low-level guy like you should get involved in. What's next will be the order camp versus the evil camp, and the nobles of Cardinal City versus the empire. Officials must be at least mid-level, you are just an ordinary soldier, do you understand?"
Then Thrall said in an unquestionable tone: "What you should do now is live your life well, either go to other cities, or stay in the temple.
The things you know are extremely dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will be like your friend. "
"When it is proven that what you are telling the truth, our Temple of Endless Light and the Empire will definitely reward you," Thrall looked at Otto, "So, live well."
"……I understand."
Lorenno knew that she was not allowed to participate in this matter anymore, so he didn't feel resentful. But the problem was...
"Why does everyone treat me like a child?"
The legal age of majority in the empire is 18, but most of them get married and start a business at the age of 14 or 5. Lorenno is still a professional. Why doesn’t everyone treat her as an adult? Is it really because she has a young face and a plain personality? .
The girl thought so, and there was nothing better to do, so she prepared to go to the arena for another fight.
The Church of the Eyeless God, an underground meeting place.
The blind man who managed the believers in Cardinal City knelt on the ground and knelt down with the believers to the two statues in front. Suddenly, the blind man's body trembled, and a great voice echoed in his mind. Lorenno was wearing a wolf hat. The image was imprinted in his brain: "Find that boy and give him to me! Immediately!!"
The blind man was lying on the ground with a frenzy, it was the voice of God just now! !
Before a month was up, the eyeless false god found the fanatical believers in advance and discovered Lorenno's specialness from his memory. He immediately coveted his soul and issued an order to his followers. When the divine light disappeared, the blind The observer stood up suddenly and said, "Can you still find that person?"
Chapter 19 Fallen
"grown ups……"
A following cultist explained Lorenno's recent situation. Although he did not dare to monitor openly, he still obtained information from other sources. The blind man frowned: "Does that mean he was caught by those nobles?"
"No, those nobles who intended to rebel did not know the height of the sacrifice. He just disappeared suddenly. At the same time, a beautiful boy with the same height as him came to the hotel. If I am correct, it should be him."
"Be prepared, even if we exhaust all the manpower of our sect in Cardinal City, we will bring him back and offer him to the great Eyeless God."
"But the Archduke's church asked us to help catch the brown cat..."
The blind man turned back and looked at the person who asked the question with his empty eyes. His head exploded instantly: "Remember, God's will comes first!!"
puff-
Lorenno held a sword in her left hand and beheaded a professional. She stepped off the ring and flicked her wrist. Her left hand was still a little weak and needed more practice. After receiving yesterday's bonus, Lorenno looked at a bag of six Hundreds of gold coins couldn't help but sigh that this was still the way to make money, so he cleaned up the bloodstains on his body and returned to the hotel.
Performing hand exercises as usual, Lorenno didn't write a few words when he heard the sound of something heavy falling in front of the window. It was so soft that only she could hear it.
He stood up and carefully pushed open the window. Lorenno's eyes trembled slightly - Selena, covered in blood, fell to the edge of the window and was teetering on the edge, but she just couldn't fall down. It was not clear whether she was really fainting or pretending to be unconscious.
The half-elf girl was still a kind-hearted child and could not ignore death. He grabbed her slightly injured arm and lifted it up. He moved her back to the room and lay flat on her back to start looking for the wound. He used his own bandage to give her an emergency bandage. .
Feeling the increasingly strong smell of sulfur on her body, Lorenno suspected that she might transform into an abyss creature again. He immediately found a snakeskin bag and stuffed her and the quilt into it, then carried Selena on his back and rushed out.
As soon as he jumped from the window, Lorenno saw several groups of guards coming towards here from a distance. After thinking for a moment, he turned and walked into the hotel. Looking at the surprised boss, he explained: "Boss, I want to take the ones behind me now." If you go to the temple, can you help me deal with the guards saying I'm not here?"
The boss looked at the one-meter-long bag behind Lorenno and nodded: "No problem, people from the Temple of Endless Light get preferential treatment."
Lorenno thanked her and immediately ran to the temple. She had figured out the roads and alleys in the Cardinal City temple area, and relied on her sensitive senses to avoid people she might encounter and enter the temple. Selina, who had fainted as soon as she entered, opened her eyes. His eyes suddenly screamed: "Ahhhh!!"
The inhuman cry made the already nervous temple warrior almost pull out his weapon. A mature knight came up and opened his pocket. After observing Selina's condition, he said seriously but relieved: "Hurry and find the bishop and Alice. Sir, she has not completely degenerated into a creature from the lower world, so she can still be saved."
Lorenno quickly dragged the person inside, and Alice came over after hearing the news. Seeing the hellish breath coming out of the bag behind Lorenno's back, she didn't even have time to say hello, and quickly asked her to put the person on the marble for emergency treatment.
"Sister Alice, what's wrong with her?"
"The devil's believer's curse is coupled with the toxins from the nether world. She is of the chaotic good camp, and the degree of deviation from kindness is not too high. There is also a magic item on her body that is from the nether world." Alice asked someone to pull up the tent and take it off. Selena put her clothes on and pressed her hands on her chest before replying quickly, "If one of the four factors is missing, she won't be able to survive now. Instead, she will die directly. It would be a bad thing if it is not delivered in time when everything is complete."
"You guessed it right, she is degenerating into a creature from the lower world. This is a very rare situation, monao! (1st level divine spell [blessing]) asitoreia! kimaih
osito! asiotesi! (3rd level divine spell [remove curse])"
As Alice neared the roar of her chant, Selina let out an evil roar, and obvious symptoms of degradation appeared on her limbs, which was considered a counterattack of the residual influence.
"If you don't send her in time, even if you heal her injuries, she will unknowingly become more and more evil, and finally her soul will become corrupted, and her body will become a devil or demon hidden in the crowd. Well, look at her She should look like a succubus or a succubus."
These two are different species, the succubus is the devil and the succubus is the devil.
"Get out of the way!"
Alice shouted, and all the people who were helping withdrew. Lorenno smelled a stronger smell of sulfur, which revealed the aroma of roses - that was the aura that Selena originally carried.
In the temporary tent, Alice's eyes glowed brightly, she held Selena's cheeks in her hands and chanted a prayer loudly!
"O great endless light! You are the light! You are the sun! Give me the power to purify evil! Repair this person's soul! Remove the lesions that pollute her!!"
"May your order and kindness shine on the earth and isolate all external chaos and destruction!!"
Level 5 [Advanced Restoration Technique]!
The tent burst into dazzling light like the sun, Lorenno felt a touch of warmth, and the unpleasant smell of sulfur disappeared instantly.
Alice looked at Selina who had woken up and asked: "Awake up? Miss Selina?"
"I didn't expect...ahem, Reverend Alice actually recognized me."
"Do you think the guards in our temple are terrible?" Alice rolled her eyes at the righteous thief in the temple records and helped her get dressed. "Every time you donate money to the temple, we see it. This is also the reason why I will directly treat you without adding mantra shackles to you."
"You owe us the temple for that set of magic just now.
** gold coins, please pay them back slowly in the future. "
