Chapter 126 The Call of Death
The sound of horse hooves was rapid, and five almost identical carriages were speeding on the Rhine Avenue in the sunset.
It is now after five o'clock in the evening, when the traffic on the main road in Rhine City is the most congested, but the road where the carriages are driving is empty, not to mention the carriages, not even pedestrians.
Every ten meters, a pair of blue uniforms stood on one left and one on the right, blocking the entire street. These blue uniforms were equipped with glue sticks and were tall and tall. No matter how much the stopped vehicles and pedestrians complained, they would not stop. No living creature is allowed near the street.
Lin Qi sighed softly. He couldn't escape the traffic control even after crossing. Fortunately, I was not the one being controlled now.
This is the travel convoy of Speaker Grant of the City Hall. Lynch and Speaker Grant sat face to face in the third carriage, enjoying unprecedented high-level treatment.
At this time, Lynch put on his cheap formal clothes, took the pistol and ring with him, held the newly acquired Blood Elegy in his hand, and sat upright on the sofa in the carriage. He agreed on the spot to Speaker Grant's invitation just now.
It was a bit dangerous. He probably guessed that the so-called friend meant the sewer ghoul, but he did not refuse.
Although I haven’t figured out what the other party wants to get from me for their sudden show of kindness, I am obviously useful to them, so they will choose to bribe them. So before my value is exhausted, there is no need to worry about the other party directly putting him on the spot. Get rid of yourself.
What's more, Rhine City is a civilized society after all, and the other party will have some scruples. As long as you stay in public places, you can basically guarantee your own safety.
Then you might as well meet him, it’s a rare opportunity, at least find out why the other party wants to dig out Zul’Glashar.
However, even if he was confident, Lynch still took precautions. If he did not go back at night, he would ask Mrs. Maggie to hand a note to the watchman to clarify his whereabouts.
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the carriage was speeding on the empty main road, watching the tall and gorgeous buildings on both sides passing by. Even the Rhine Bridge, which was crowded day and night, had been cleared early and was unobstructed. This strong feeling In comparison, it is really a very refreshing experience.
This uniqueness that cannot be reproduced is enough to make many people intoxicated. We have to admit that power and money are really good things. No wonder so many people want to rob them at all costs. . Even a time traveler like Lynch is not sure whether he would have lost himself in temptation if he had not embarked on the path of immortality.
“Almost.”
Speaker Grant's voice interrupted Lynch's self-reflection, and Lynch looked around in surprise.
The convoy has arrived at the Crown District. I don’t know where it is heading, but it has no momentum to stop. The surrounding scenery is the same as before, and there is nothing special about it.
What's almost done?
Just as he was wondering, he saw Grant opening the secret compartment under the sofa and taking out a small birdcage.
A beautiful canary was in the birdcage. As soon as it saw the light, it immediately made a crisp bird song, which was quite pleasant to the ear.
Grant skillfully took it out of the cage, put it on his finger and gently stroked the canary's head. The little bird flapped its wings comfortably and screamed more cheerfully. However, after a few calls, the bird's song suddenly stopped, and Grant used force without warning and directly broke the canary's neck. Canary's body struggled feebly for a few times, and then completely lost her voice.
Lin Qi frowned, and then saw him throwing the bird corpse to the ground. Lin Qi's heart moved, and he instinctively tightened his cane. The next moment, the stiff corpse suddenly struggled violently again, twisting for a while and then suddenly It expanded rapidly and transformed from a bird corpse into a human form squatting on the ground.
Resisting the urge to hit it with a cane, Lynch forced himself to remain calm and watched the changes in the carriage. The bird corpse on the ground had disappeared, and the new human figure stood up nimbly and looked at it. He looked around and then sat down next to Speaker Grant. What appeared strangely was a bald human with tattered clothes. Lynch still remembered this face. It was the homeless man who led the hunt for Maya at the train station yesterday. He was also the first to transform into a ghoul in the carriage cemetery. The murderer who demolished several carriages.
After close contact, Lin Qi only felt palpitations, but he was much calmer than Elder Nicklay who met the mountain people. Lin Qi already had experience and silently estimated that the strength of this ghoul should be between power four and six. A mid-level powerhouse.
"Is he Lynch?"
It was also a voice like a baby crying, and it was more harsh than the mountain people's. The shock made Lynch frown again and suppress it.
"Yes, Elder Blue." Speaker Grant moved to the side covertly, "He is still a little hesitant. It seems he doesn't know how serious the problem is."
Ghoul Elder Blue's blood-red eyes He looked Lin Qi up and down and said with a ferocious expression: "We met yesterday, so there's no need to explain who I am, Lin Qi."
Lin Qi squinted his eyes and nodded.
"You rescued that woman yesterday and caused a big disaster. Because of your actions, the city is now in a very dangerous situation. You must join us and stop the crazy actions of the mountain people, otherwise you will die. You are responsible for the deaths of so many people."
Lin Qi sneered and said forcefully: "If that's all you have to say, then I'd better go back and see you. It is already a sign of sincerity. The purpose is to understand the situation and make a decision, not to listen to these exaggerated nonsense. Either you explain the specific situation clearly, or I will leave now. In addition, let me hand over that. It's best to put away such requests from women. I'm not interested in discussing this issue."
Elder Blue was not angry, but just snorted: "That woman? We are not interested in her at all, we just want her. Just stop the Hill Folk Tribe. If you don’t want Mordiggian to come to this world and destroy everything, then cooperate with us and stop the Hill Folk Tribe from taking action against that woman.”
"Huh?"
"Their tribe is the guardian of Zul'Glassar, guarding the soul of Mordiggian in the Holy City for generations, and we are the awakened ones, abandoning Mordiggian. The evil god has returned to the city. Originally, the two parties had no influence on each other, but some time ago, Mordiggian's soul fragment became restless, and the mountain tribe planned to take this opportunity to awaken the evil god. They used special methods to deal with Mo. Erdikian sacrificed repeatedly to continuously strengthen his soul fragments, and when the time was right, he would use the fragments to guide the evil god's true form to come. "
Hiss... Lynch was still half-convinced, but if what he said was true. Really, it can explain some questions.
"We just knew their conspiracy and insisted on digging the Best Mountain Tunnel. As long as we take the opportunity to dig out Zul'Glasar, their conspiracy can be made public, and someone will naturally stop them. And in order to cover up their purpose, they have been Trying to stop tunnel digging.”
So, no wonder the conflict is so intense.
Lin Qi thought for a while and asked: "But what does this have to do with that woman?"
"She is the instrument of sacrifice."
