Any city has a so-called lower class of citizens, but in Razor City, it's the real lower class.
The rocky cliffs that support the city are full of natural or artificial tunnel caves, and in the corners that are not covered by light even on bright sunny days, slums and outlaws parasitize them.
It was already nighttime, and the citizens above were sleeping with fatigue, while those below were active with their night veils. Lysatos walked on a swaying rope bridge, preparing for a Dragon Worship gathering. There were also scattered people in front and behind, mostly poor people, attracted by the depiction on the flyers, heading to the new sect to find the way up.
People, as if by appointment, were clad in black robes, keeping their distance from each other warily. Only Lysatos is different, all bejeweled and unconcealed, people who see him are surprised, and when they turn their heads, they ignore Lysatos' presence under the influence of the mind of the enchanted spell.
Golden Dragon leisurely stroll, dim candlelight, quiet pedestrians, and deep caves, reminding him of the adventures of his early childhood in Ferrum. At that time he was a young dragon, dragged a group of good camp friends to adventure, follow the suspected slave trade group's team, the result of breaking into the cave, 80 in the cafeteria "dining" spirit suction monsters look up together, in addition to the sound of brains dripping from the tentacles slide, the scene can be heard, and then ... or do not think back.
The team entered the grotto, the door with the sect's divine emblem hood believers waiting, Lesatos leaned over and looked at a look at the emblem, which painted him ugly, head and forelimbs are deformed. The forks of the grotto were manned and the visitors were directed to the intended path.
The golden dragon flashed past the guards and explored on its own. So far, there were no signs of spells that evaded detection and protection from probing, and Lysatos was almost certain that it was not another mage.
As he walked, he frowned as thin negative energy wafted through the air, and it was getting closer. Four small children came closer and closer, a group of two, one in front of the other carrying a black cloth bag, negative energy is dispersed from inside.
Lysatos saw the acquaintance, dodged and stood out. The four children jumped in shock, including the head of the boy Kai stunned: "It's you! How did you ... get here?"
"Alala, I would say it was sleepwalking over, do you believe it." Lysatos walked over, the children dropped the cloth bag and hid behind Kaye, who looked like he was the leader of the small group. The sack was removed and inside was the body, green and black, muscles all dried up, the face frozen with the painful expression it had before death. The body was so shriveled up that the two kids were able to lift it.
"Is this the work of the messenger of God?"
Kaye did not answer positively, "Sir, you should go now. You saw the corpse, the God messenger won't let you live. I'll take you away."
"You're crazy, Kaye! Why help a stranger when you're dead if you're found out." A girl who was slightly taller than Kai said anxiously.
Kai turned back to the girl and said, "Listen to me Mina. This gentleman is a good man, I can't let him die here. Do you remember what grandpa said before he died, 'Better to be brave like a lion for a moment than humble like a dog for a lifetime,' and I think the time has come for grandpa to say that. In the old part of the business district, I have hidden a lot of food, you guys take it and leave Razor City."
Mina's dirty little face was anxious: "No, why don't we just go together?"
"Someone has to stay and delay, one death is better than four ..."
The arc of Lesatos' smile grew wider and wider, it was really interesting. The interesting part is not in finding pure souls out of the mud, but ...
If it is a general sense of justice guy, the next sentence must be come with me, I protect you, be my little brother. But Lysatos is clear-headed, "I have an idea, the three of them to hide out, you follow me to take out the god ambassador, how about it, little lion Kai?"
...
Kai's emotions are a little excited, hiding the trembling, seems to be very excited. "Can you really defeat the magic of the God-Emperor? He can have a dragon behind him."
Lysatos said back, "Do you really believe that he is the messenger of the dragon?"
"Not quite believe ... I saw the dragon when it flew over the razor blade, it was golden and majestic, how could it be the death dragon that the god messenger said."
This word Lysatos received. "Tell me about the body."
"The god ambassador's body ... was sick, and when it was so weak, he tricked in a few believers and went into the secret room. I eavesdropped, the scream echoed on the soundproof stone walls, it was terrible. Then the god-emperor got better, and we had to throw the bodies again, almost once a week. A lot of believers die that way."
Not sounding like a vampire, Lysatos cocked his head and thought for a moment, "I have a bandwagon note, you go provoke the God-Emperor and I'll protect you."
Kaye was startled and shook his head repeatedly. Until a ball of light was sent to the boy's eyes, Kaye stunned, frozen in fascination. With a flip of his finger, Lysatos extinguished the dancing light spell, and the boy's eyes immediately exploded with an infinite fire of longing.
The two walked to the larger grotto, candle-lit, many people quietly listening to a masked man on a high platform sermon. Lysatos took one look and guessed what this divine messenger was, the mage used the word, called a warlock.
Saraph had no magic net, but that did not mean that magic could not be used. Elemental power is everywhere, but the raw energy that has not been purified and standardized by the magic net is quite wild and ferocious and difficult to harness. The difference between magic net and no magic net spell casting is like eating half-finished beef and a live cow.
Warlock this profession, many are heavenly creatures, creatures of the lower world, dragons or other high magic race of hybrid offspring, this situation is more. Some also belong to luck, born with pro-demon physique, there is a subclass under this branch, called elemental affinity. This physique is not good at all, the elements flow through the human brittle flesh body, releasing spells, while causing serious damage to the body.
Beneath the large, empty robes of this god-emperor is a thin, bony, emaciated shell, with negative energy eating away at muscles and internal organs; if it weren't for the life force he draws through, this guy wouldn't even live to adulthood. Comparing the hybrid warlock to a rich second generation, the elemental warlock is a pay second loan, using his life span and life to take out loans for power, and it's mandatory spending.
At Lysatos' gesture, Kai walked up stiffly and said loudly, "Shut up, shameful liar. I am the messenger appointed by the Dragon God, and you will pay for the lie."
Lysatos scratched his head, this kid is gifted ah, blind bullshit can also hit.
The crowd clamored to look over, and a number of those who knew Kaye were astonished.
"Isn't this the little thief from the business district, I still have my flyer from him."
"He's crazy! How dare he question the divine ambassador in public."
"Stupid, plead for forgiveness to the divine ambassador!"
The newcomers took this as a hilarious sight, while the old believers came up in a fury and wanted to strangle Kai to show their loyalty to the God-Emperor. The negative energy warlock stopped the crowd and took a step forward. His hoarse voice sounded like fingernails scraping iron plates, "What gives you the ignorant courage to question my sanctity."
Kai swallowed, he was tempted to look back at Lysatos, but held back. "I ... I told you, you're a liar, dragons don't get a skeleton frame for a messenger."
"Hahahaha!" The warlock laughed in anger, "One last chance to kneel down and repent to the dragon of death. Otherwise you will be turned into ashes and suffer in the fire of the dragon god." The group of believers around the crowd, yelling at Kai to kneel down.
"I am only ..."
The two words just exit, the warlock reached out and let out a scream like a wildcat, black and red waves of negative energy shot up, the people around the first time to see the god angel cast a spell, and drew a cold breath.
Just when the crowd thought the boy was dead, the energy ripple hit the [protection from negative energy damage] shield set up by Lysatos and disappeared.
The scene was dead silent. Kai began to be shocked too, he knows how painful it is to be killed by the god angel. Finding himself unscathed, the boldness rose up and followed the example of the God-Emperor's hand, "Accept the punishment of the Dragon God!"
The warlock was so frightened that he took two steps backwards, and then found nothing. Kaye anxiously up, is abandoned? Luckily it was just Lysatos' bad taste, he was eager to see the little boy's panic-stricken expression. A moment late beam of light shot out from the crowd. The white-golden [Mercurian Light] hit the warlock, and the positive and negative energies clashed, creating a fierce obliterating reaction as the energy exploded out.
The closer believers were blown away, and this time no one cared about the messenger of God, crying out and running away from the boy, chaos. The warlock did not die, although the loss of an arm, but still stubbornly survived, he rolled and crawled to activate the mechanism, the high platform slab sinking, he jumped down.
Lysatos told Kaye to wait here and used the gasification form on himself, turning into a puff of smoke seeping through the cracks in the slab. The wounded warlock didn't run more than a few steps before he was caught and unmasked, a miserable face, eaten to a rotten mess by negative energy.
"How did the method you used to suck the life force come about?" Flames shot from Lysatos' fingertips, licking his skin.
"I ran into a weirdo in the eastern kingdom who taught me that! Really, years ago. Please leave me alone. ..."
Lysatos frowned, able to teach [Vampire's Touch], it seemed that Saraph existed other mages besides himself.
After knocking the warlock unconscious and throwing him into the demiplane, Lysatos returned to the grotto hall and not surprisingly saw Kai waiting for him.
"Got him, you and your partner don't have to worry about him hunting you down anymore, the cult will soon fall apart without its leader."
Kaye looked excited, "Thank you, sir. I ... can I be your student, I want to learn spells! '
"Learn spells ... I don't know you well enough yet, tell me about yourself first."
"Okay, what do you want to hear?"
Lysatos smiled, "How about starting with, how you calculated to make me an enemy of the gods and ambassadors."
Kaye's face instantly went white.
