Chapter 30: Eternal Life Society, Thousand Faces Claire,
who are the parasites of the Bone Erosion Insect?
Wayne covered his mouth and nose and looked around at the pedestrians.
The same hurried journey, the same ragged clothes...
Only a few people were still clean and neatly dressed. Even if the clothes were washed and whitened and patched, they still retained some dignity.
"What's wrong, Wayne?" Lacey asked after seeing his appearance.
"No, I've only been here a few times before. I came and went in a hurry. I wanted to see more of this place." "
You've been in Custer City State not long ago, right?"
"It's less than half a year."
Wei En looked around and said, No one was found who was obviously suspicious, so he had to give up, "The people here don't look like they are from Aldes?" "
Of course not,"
Arianna on the side immediately denied, "The blood of pride is in our Ordes." The Des race flows in my body, and I would rather die than stay in this place." "
These are the damn Vazquez tribe, look what they have ruined this place into?"
Vazquez tribe?
Wei En looked around again and determined from the memory of his predecessor that most of the people around him were of the Vazquez ethnic group.
The most obvious feature is their ears - which are round and resemble those of a teddy bear.
"I have read in the Custer Council newspaper before that news of Vazquez ethnic riots often spread from several city-states in the eastern part of the kingdom."
Ariana raised her head slightly and looked around with disgust.
"That's right, ever since the Kingdom's Iron Shield Knights broke through Lovelsa, the Vasquez ethnic group there began to wander around," "They would jump out from time to time and be
as annoying as flies... for twenty years We should really slaughter them all!"
"Silence," Lacey glared at him, "Arianna, your voice is too harsh."
"Don't look at me like that, Lacey," Ariana said dissatisfied: "In the original Battle of Black River, three of our Holmes family died..." "Are
you planning to attribute the blood feud to them? "
Lacey looked at the increasingly hostile eyes of the Basques around him and said seriously: "Arianna, let me hear these words from you again," "
I will definitely do it in the name of the Logistics and Investigation Department. , send you to the committee for review!"
"If you don't say it, don't say it..."
Even so, Arianna did not take the people around him seriously, just like looking at a group of ants, full of indifference and indifference. Contempt.
Lacey shook his head and said: "Marco went to the City Guards and requested them to send a team of guards in the name of the Secret Service Department."
Marco nodded: "I'll go over right away."
"Others... speed up. , find clues as soon as possible, complete the task, and leave here." Lacey obviously didn't want to waste time.
At the same time, she secretly regretted agreeing to Yegor's suggestion to involve Arianna.
Then, several people quickly passed through and walked towards the middle of the Laos neighborhood.
Wei En followed the team and realized that they were maintaining a vigilant formation.
Lacey took the lead, Ariana fell behind, and he and Tina were in the middle.
At the same time, he also noticed that Lacey, who had been carefree in the Secret Adjustment Department before, had a solemn and serious expression on his face, as if he was ready for battle at any time.
Are ghettos dangerous?
With such suspicion, Wayne's eyes unconsciously glanced around.
As a few people went deeper, the environment on the street became worse and worse.
There was clearly scorching sunlight above the head, but the surroundings seemed extremely dim.
Dilapidated buildings line up in a row, with mottled paint peeling off the walls, showing a worn gray color.
There are fewer and fewer pedestrians around.
There were more skinny people with withered faces, squatting in dark corners, staring at them with eyes full of hollowness and numbness.
Even some children are the same, lifeless.
In the atmosphere of silence among several people, accompanied by a hint of coldness, Wei En felt a little nervous without realizing it.
This is his first time going deep into the ghetto, and the same goes for his predecessors.
After they had gone some distance further, Lacey stopped and said, "We're here."
Ariana looked around and wondered, "Lacie, it seems too..."
"It's too quiet, right?" Xi glanced at him and said, "Well, I should have told you that more than 300 people are missing here."
Click.
Arianna almost gritted her teeth, "You'd better not tell me that my job is to track everyone!" "
Of course not, these people disappear in an instant, you only need to find one of them."
"Then let's get started. The smell here makes me feel ominous."
"Smell?"
Lacey was stunned for a moment, looked around again, frowned and said, "Have you noticed it too?"
Arianna's face was no longer the same as before. He said calmly and seriously: "It wasn't that obvious before, but now it's getting more and more... like the smell of rats in the sewer, disgusting!" "That's right," Lacey raised
his
head The two-handed ax was pulled out of nothingness by her hand, and her expression became serious. "It seems that our mission this time will encounter some hardships." Wei En was stunned for a moment, and quickly pulled out the
musket hanging on his waist. , looking around.
"Lacey...Sir, what number of potion do you need to use? I'll prepare it in advance."
"No. 5!"
Hearing this, Arianna looked at him in surprise, "Don't you know, 'Rat in the Gutter' is Are you referring specifically to those bastards from the Eternal Life Society?"
卫恩并未回答他，而是打开手里的箱子，拿出其中一瓶标记“5”的魔药，将其整个装填进火枪里。
心里暗自叹息：第一次任务而已，就不能轻松一些，简单一些？
永生会……那份纪元遗物就是永生会的人留的。
难道那张羊皮纸，真是他们无意间丢失的？
阿里安纳脸色变的难看起来，不满的说：“莱西，他还是个新人。这样可不行，我建议立刻撤出这里。”
“拒绝！”
莱西一直双手持斧，一直警惕的看着四周，侧耳倾听着什么。
“可是……”
“我说，安静！”
“……”
阿里安纳抿了抿嘴，他熟悉莱西的行事风格，在没有遇到无法对抗的敌人之前，她不会放弃任务的。
“按照工作条例，我必须服从你的指挥。不过我建议，最好等城卫军的人到了之后再行动。”
莱西微微颔首，算是接受他的建议。
“那好，这边交给我。”
见她同意，阿里安纳也不再多说，目光看向来时的路。
接着，他便解开外套的纽扣，随手抛到一边，低声呢喃道：“西蒙，凡多姆，海恩，斯鲁达恩……”
嗯？
誓约，伟大的守护之灵——霍姆斯家族英灵，遵从古老的血脉传承，请求您……
卫恩听到熟悉的贡萨雷斯语，扭头看向他。
随着这道低沉的咏叹声，阿里安纳整个脑袋好似充气一般开始肿胀。
脸上的青筋以及肌肉快速蠕动着，就连他的短发都开始拉长舞动起来。
In just a few seconds, countless tentacles appeared around his head, expanding and contracting rhythmically, as if they were breathing the air here.
But Arianna's changes didn't stop, and he let out a majestic roar: "Cerostar!"
The voice sounded like a war cry, like the chorus of two armies confronting each other.
Immediately afterwards, all the tentacles broke off and separated from his body, floating strangely around him.
……grass?
Wei En looked at him blankly, with question marks written all over his forehead.
Are you sure this isn't an aberration?
The language he chanted was obviously a guardian, a heroic spirit, inherited by blood...
how could such a scary monster appear?
"Lacey, I can't last long in this state, you'd better hurry up."
Lacey nodded and said, "Tina, spiritual vision."
After saying that, she moved directly to the white-haired girl, Plugging the ax handles of both hands on the ground, "Cool and De."
Shield?
Wayne took his eyes away from Ariana and turned to look at Lacey and Tina beside him.
At this time, Tina let go of the hand that had been holding Wei En's clothes, covered her eyes with both hands, her long white hair flying in the wind, "Tina's vision!" Wei En felt his eyes
blurred, and the surrounding scene suddenly changed. A look.
All the surrounding buildings disappeared, turning into darkness and silence, with only the light shining from where the four of them stood.
Um?
As the darkness spread, several dim outlines slowly emerged around it.
This is...
"You trash, how dare you show up in Custer?"
Lacey's tone was even colder, with a bit of hatred, glaring at these black figures.
As she finished speaking, a slow voice with a distinctly lazy ending sounded, "Ah, have you been discovered?"
Is it a woman?
Wayne moved closer to Lacey, his hand on the musket tightened, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He was very sure that the location of these black shadows was not in a building, but in an open area very close to them.
Invisible?
Or some other ability?
"Did you do what happened here?"
One of the dark figures tilted his head and seemed to be examining them, "Are you referring to those lovely slaves who lived here before?" "
Slaves? You are preaching here? ?"
Lacey looked at the black shadow and gritted his teeth and said: "Aren't you worried that the flames of dawn will burn you all again?" "
Oh, hehe..."
The black shadow covered his mouth and smiled sweetly, and said sarcastically: "The flames of dawn? But These are just boring tricks made by poor people. How can they withstand the eternal fire?"
"Lacey, stop talking nonsense to her!"
Arianna leaned over, and the tentacles flying beside her opened at some point. One eye after another, looking at different black figures in groups of three and two.
Lacey knew that his ability would not last long, so he turned his head and warned, "Wai En, stay by Tina's side. If you are in danger, shoot directly at these 'cousins'!" "Yeah." Wei En looked at her
. He nodded solemnly, leaned next to Tina, and blocked her behind him.
Even though he knew it was of little significance, he would not sit still and wait for death.
He is too weak now...
Damn it, I will find a way to improve my strength when I get back.
"Hey? Are you going to take action, broad-minded lady?" the black shadow said still unhurriedly.
Arianna shouted angrily: "I have nothing to talk to you trash from the Eternal Life Society!"
With that said, he rushed out directly.
The tentacles around him were ejected one after another, making a hissing air explosion sound like a hidden weapon.
It instantly penetrated the surrounding black shadows, forming one after another of exploding black shadows.
Lacey almost synchronized with him, sweeping across with his ax, "Asiriel!" (Sign: Strong Wind Blade!) An
ax blade that was even more violent than what he had seen before was swept out.
Immediately afterwards, she stepped forward in one step and appeared next to the black shadow who spoke, chopping down with both hands.
"Aled!" (Seal: Shattered!)
The black shadow stood motionless, letting the ax blade pass through his body, "Oh? Demon hunter...?"
"Puppet?"
Lacey reacted instantly, He ducked back to Wei En and frowned at the black shadow: "You are from the Eternal Life Society..."
"Do you recognize it?"
The black shadow's body split by the ax blade slowly came together, still using the long belt He said with a final tone: "Eternal Life Society, 'Thousand Faces' Claire, hello to you."
"Damn it!"
Ariana cursed, and the abnormality on her head began to retract, and in the blink of an eye it returned to its previous appearance. , "I'm just saying how can these 'people' be so fragile..."
Lacey ignored him, stared at the black shadow with an eyebrow and asked: "What on earth do you want to do?"
"I just came to say hello to you, and I will inform you by the way. Just tell me, please take good care of that Era relic, and we will get it back..."
The voice slowly dissipated, leaving only a lingering sound.
Plop.
Plop.
Along with the sound of several objects hitting the ground, the black figures fell to the ground one after another.
"What epochal relic?" Ariana looked at Lacey in confusion, "You didn't tell me about this?"
"According to work regulations..."
Arianna raised her hands, looking aggrieved, "Okay, okay, I understand, I'm here to help you investigate those missing people." "It's good to know,"
Lacey
retracted his axe, " Tina, release the spiritual vision state."
Tina nodded coldly, as if everything that happened before had nothing to do with her, "Tina's vision release."
The darkness began to dissipate, and the surrounding dilapidated scene reappeared.
Only the two more ravines on the ground and the bodies scattered around made it clear to everyone that what just happened was not an illusion.
"Sir Lacey,"
Marco arrived at this time, followed by a group of more than ten city guards wearing armor.
"Are you okay? Something terrible seems to have happened here just now..."
"What do you think?"
Lacey looked at the corpses around him and frowned: "Marco, clean up this place and continue the mission."
Ali Anna was anxious, "You want to continue? Didn't she just say..."
"What did you say..."
As the environment recovered and the city guards arrived, Wei En also breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't care whether the mission continued.
The worst thing is... just run away!
Um?
It was only then that he noticed a new reminder emerging in his mind.
