Chapter 147 The Land of Dagon! Gray Zone
North of Changyuan, on the shores of Lake Baikal.
A group of figures in black robes were flying over the frozen lake. The extraordinary person headed by them had a handsome face and a tall and slender figure. He looked like a decent gentleman. He held a non-beating silver pocket watch in his hand and looked calm, making people feel reliable just by standing there.
“Captain.”
A slender figure flew from a short distance away. After gliding on the thick ice for dozens of meters, it landed steadily on this handsome man. In front of the man, her voice was slightly hoarse and she said: "No trace of the dragon was found!"
"Has it flown somewhere else?"
Benjamin Tilian narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and said softly: "It shouldn't fly far. "
"After entering our world, it was seriously injured. It is most likely to be hiding nearby to recuperate."
"Recall other team members."
" Don’t spread too thin, there are signs of old family activities nearby.”
Benjamin's strength has improved a lot compared to before. He is now the captain of this hunting team, and his daily task is to hunt down the evil aberrations near Changyuan. In order to seek an opportunity to embark on the road to destiny, Benjamin took the initiative to apply for the most dangerous mission, and even followed the Butcher into the underground world to hunt the Pillar of Flesh.
After digesting the extraordinary relics of the Pillar of Flesh, Benjamin has now been promoted to a high level. The biggest problem currently troubling his promotion is how to obtain the field of [Trickery].
Time goes back to one day ago.
After Amon opened the law of the doorway and linked the spaces to other universes, an unexpected burst of space turbulence caused the portal pointing to the bottomless abyss to simultaneously resonate with other crystal wall universes. . Then, on their way back to Changyuan, Benjamin's evil-hunting team saw countless meteors streaking across the sky. In the shining light of the meteors, they saw the figure of a giant dragon.
Not those subspecies of flying dragons from the Weird Kingdom, but a real giant dragon with golden shining scales. As it flew across the sky, its outstretched dragon wings seemed to be torn to pieces by some monster. part.
"A golden dragon!"
This discovery instantly alarmed other people in Changyuan, and Benjamin's team was immediately tasked with searching for traces of this golden dragon.
Half a day passed quickly.
Benjamin and his team have gone deep into the snow-covered mountains. They encountered an ice crystal spider with more than ten compound eyes. After forcibly passing through the area where the old family members were active, the high-level rangers in the team Suddenly he squatted down, observed the traces on the ground, and said solemnly: "There are traces of human activities here."
Benjamin made a gesture to the others beside him, and the entire team immediately began to disperse. And he himself quietly approached the canyon ahead.
He saw a creature that was torn to pieces like a saw-toothed spider. It was a strange creature from the star realm. At the end of his sight, an elegant and huge creature was crawling on the ground and panting. Its golden scales were shining in the light. Shining down, the blood flowing out from the abdomen and dragon wings was filthy, as if it were an abscess, bursting out a foul-smelling juice.
What surprised Benjamin was that there was a humanoid creature next to this golden dragon. The other person had a pair of pointed ears and was watching him with a wary expression.
"Friends."
Benjamin raised his hands, activated the strange objects, blessed the language, and took the initiative to say: "We are here to help you."
Not far away The elf stared at him for a moment, then slightly dropped his hostility and said, "Human?"
Benjamin nodded slightly and said: "Humans."
"In the words of you people from other worlds, we are the indigenous people of this world."
"Where are you from?"
The elegant and beautiful elf in front pondered for a moment, soothed the painful dragon beside him with his hand, and said slowly: "Klein Tianyu."
Hearing the other party's words, Benjamin's pupils shrank and he said in surprise: "The Kingdom of Dragonlance?"
"Are you a high elf?"
——Highelf.
In the extremely distant Klein Tianyu, the high elves are the elves and their close relatives who have survived from the mythical age.
People in the Weird Country are not ignorant of the outside world. After all, souls from other worlds have been reincarnated here for a long time. It's just that this time the visitors from another world are no longer reincarnated souls, but enter here directly through the torn space rift.
Klein Tianyu is a country where dragons are very active, and is also known as the legendary dragon country.
However, the magic power of the crystal wall system is not very strong. The biggest characteristic of the magic there is that it is weak!
Many people believe that the magical power of Klein Tianyu is the weakest among all other worlds, not only compared with Toril (the world where "The Forgotten Realm" is located) and Atas ("The Cataclysm of the Setting Sun") The world in which "Grey Eagle" lives) is far different from these worlds with powerful magic. Even Os (the world where "Grey Eagle" lives), which is not known for its magical power, is much stronger than it.
This weakness in magical power may be related to the gods of Klein Tianyu. One view of the Forgotten Realm is that the gods of Klein Tianyu will 'send' overly powerful mages to the plane of Faerûn.
But there are many dragons there. After all, it is called the country of Dragonlance. The dragons there are numerous and active, and they often appear in major historical events.
Benjamin looked at the injured golden dragon in the distance curiously. This was the first time he saw a real dragon. He whispered: "It's very dangerous here."
"I suggest you leave with me first. It will be much safer after entering the high wall."
"Also, its injury needs treatment, otherwise it will worsen quickly."
"It's dark. After that."
"Evil things from the spirit world will enter the material plane."
The high elf seemed to be judging whether he was lying. After hesitating for a moment, she said softly: "But my partner was seriously injured and can no longer fly for the time being."
Benjamin thought for a moment, raised his head and said, "Maybe I can treat its injury."
——Damage transfer.
Under the surprised gaze of the high elf, Benjamin slowly pressed his palm on the back of the golden dragon. Then the injuries on the golden dragon began to transfer, and Benjamin's face became extremely pale. A horrific wound appeared on his abdomen.
Human beings' vitality cannot compare with that of a giant dragon, so Benjamin can only help this golden dragon share part of the damage.
However, his actions undoubtedly gained the trust and favor of the high elf. The golden dragon on the ground also stood up with difficulty after recovering part of its injuries.
At present, the aborigines of the Weird Country mainly rely on the souls of other worlds to understand the outside world. In the past thousand years, they have collected information on many other crystal wall systems. The known crystal wall systems include Guo Tianyu, Klein Tianyu, and Gray Wall System. Qiong Tianyu, Wilderness Tianyu, Earth Tianyu, Star Cluster Tianyu, Maelstrom Tianyu, Disaster Tianyu, Hero Tianyu, Dark Tianyu, Tugri World, Grom Tianyu, Sanctuary World, Blazing Sky Kingdom, Witch's Light World, Huang Yu waits.
However, it is a pity that a lot of information was lost in the Dark Age. There are only a few Tianyus that the aboriginal demigods know a lot about, mainly around the national Tianyu, and the others only have recorded names.
Before returning, Benjamin transferred his injuries to an attacking aberration.
This strange ability made the high elf's pupils shrink.
Under the Legend of Destiny, Benjamin’s strength is unique.
He has almost perfectly digested the power of the Pillar of Flesh, and his control over his own flesh and blood has reached its peak. However, he can still suppress the pollution of his own flesh and blood.
If it were in other different worlds, a person like him, with firm will, kindness, humility, honesty and reliability, could definitely become an excellent paladin.
All the gods will compete for him, but such people will probably believe in justice itself in the end, rather than a specific god.
…………
In a gray fog.
Xiao En returned to the real world again, but this time he was not in the Kingdom of Dorne, but arrived in the legendary turbulent land of Dagon.
Dagon is Dagon.
As soon as he returned to the real world, he noticed an ominous aura. It was a haze like gray mist. It was not born from the real world, nor was it due to industrial pollution, but from the cracks in the spiritual world. Entering the realm of reality.
"The door to the spirit world is open?"
Xiao En's expression was solemn. Under the dim light of his spiritual vision, he saw a ghost flashing through the haze, which seemed to be It is just born and will not die for more than seven days.
——Wraith (Challenge Level 4).
This should be a dead extraordinary person. The resentful spirit transformed by ordinary people will not have such strong abilities. It is lingering in the gray haze, surrounding Xiao En's figure and ready to move. There was a slight deviation in the teleportation this time. After all, there was no clear teleportation sign. The location where Xiao En landed was in a wilderness, and the vicinity looked a bit like a mass grave.
This signpost was left to him by Eamonn.
As mortals learn more about the other world in the weird kingdom, the barrier protecting the real world becomes more and more fragile. Creatures from the spiritual world begin to appear in the real world. At the same time, the souls of mortals after death become more and more fragile. It is easy to become a ghost-like existence.
If you believe it, you have it; if you don’t believe it, you don’t have it.
This is very idealistic. After ordinary people experience strange extraordinary events, their inner cognition will begin to waver. Once they recognize a little bit of the truth of the world in their blind ignorance, then they may be able to touch the real world. world. Amon tore apart the disguise of the real kingdom. When ordinary people realized the existence of extraordinary power, more extraordinary events began to occur frequently.
There is no doubt that the impact on Dagon is greater, because there are ghosts emerging in the wilderness.
“This means that ordinary people have heard of, seen, and even personally experienced weird and extraordinary events, which is why ghosts wandering around appear nearby.”
In the real world Protective barriers are becoming increasingly fragile.
If everyone believes in the existence of ghosts, then a large number of ghosts will definitely appear in the real world, and the breath of the spiritual world will directly awaken the souls of the deceased.
Hiss!
A shrill scream sounded, and the wandering ghost couldn't bear it and tried to attack Xiao En. It wanted to invade Xiao En's body.
——Mind Spike.
Xiao En raised his hand expressionlessly, as if it was an exploding gray firework, and the resentful spirit was instantly wiped out.
Wisps of soul power poured into his body.
Xiao En clearly felt that the extraordinary essence in his body was digested a little bit. Different from the way he digested the extraordinary essence in the past, after getting the talent of Son of Slaughter, he could kill the enemy and seize the opponent's soul power. Then use this to speed up the digestion of the extraordinary essence.
To put it simply, this is the upgrade of killing monsters, the embodiment of the law of killing and death.
This power is very domineering!
There is still too little time left for Xiao En now. However, the demigods of the Weird Kingdom are very impersonal beings. Bullying the younger ones is a common thing. Black hands are commonplace.
Using the description of Eastern immortals in previous lives, demigods are all quasi-immortal-level existences. They don’t care about being decent or not. The extraordinary beings here all have some magical attributes. As long as you have something useful to them, even if You are just a little person who has just established a foundation, and they will secretly plot against you regardless of dignity.
This is why Eamon does not trust Ms. Hecate. Those old bones are even more sinister than him, and they all want to seize more domain laws.
Furthermore, nearly a thousand years after the Dark Age, mankind has not given birth to many legends of destiny. Who knows how many potential talents of heaven have been secretly plotted by them and turned into nourishment for their own advancement.
They will not allow others to threaten their status. After all, there can only be one true god on the path of death.
Not everyone is Lord Death and can tolerate others. The weaker the person, the more afraid they are of being replaced.
On the contrary, those who are truly ruthless and strong will be excited to have successors challenge them.
A demigod who wields a knife at the weak, but that's all. Xiao En is currently suppressed by his realm. As long as he is promoted to the Legend of Destiny, he will have no fear and even dare to kill gods.
In the past, Eamon was there to take care of him, but now he can only rely on himself.
After all, Ms. Hecate is not Eamonn. Eamonn is a lunatic and has no scruples. No one dares to mess with her, but Ms. Hecate is almost mean.
This should be a mass grave.
Xiao En raised his hand gently, and a gray soul crystal fell into his palm. His expression was quite solemn, and he murmured: "Has the real world also started to drop soul crystals?"
This is not a good thing.
Because this means that part of the laws of the real world have been assimilated by the spiritual world.
Xiao En walked along the rugged path. When he passed near a tomb, he heard the sound of tearing and gnawing. He turned around and saw a pair of dark yellow eyeballs in the gray mist.
Ghoul.
Are all the witchers in the Dagon region dead?
There are obvious signs of human activity around here, but no one has cleaned up the monsters in the wilderness. This means that Dagon's witcher system has basically been paralyzed.
“After leaving the Dorne area, each one is really worse than the other.”
Xiao En waved his hand gently, and arcane missiles pierced the air one after another, directly hitting the people not far away. The ghoul shot the head. He raised his palm and turned it slightly, and the soil in front of him closed automatically, burying the corpse that had been chewed into a human shape.
Twilight Town.
The name of this town awakened Xiao En's memories. It was near the mass graves, a small town with a population of only tens of thousands.
Xiao En was allowed to enter after paying a fee of five seses to enter the city. If they didn't think he was not easy to deal with, the few rude-looking town guards would probably blackmail him. Different from the bustling city of Dorne, this is a very ordinary modern town. The tallest building in the town is a five-story church. The main road is a dirt road. The houses on both sides are very low, most of which are two-story. On the left and right side of the building, there are very few shops along the way and almost no pedestrians. It looks very dilapidated and dilapidated.
The time is now around nine o'clock in the morning. When Xiao En came in, he saw a doctor wearing a crow mask at the corner of the street, dragging several body bags onto the carriage.
After the great smog incident, many ordinary people contracted diseases. It is estimated that this place has also been affected. Occasionally, the painful moans of patients can be heard.
"Have the witchers abandoned this place?"
Xiao En frowned and said to himself: "Or is it that the inheritance of demon hunters in the Dagon area is no longer viable?"
Not far away, next to the carriage carrying the corpse, there was a middle-aged man with a big beard. He handed a money bag to the man next to him, then leaned to the man's ear and said in a low voice: "If there are any corpses like this in the future, contact me."
"One corpse costs 3 dinars. ."
The man in the weird dress smiled greedily and said, "The price will have to be increased next time. They are willing to sell it directly to the people in Dorne."
Body reselling.
A chill appeared in Xiao En's eyes. After the carriage carrying the body left, he entered the house opposite directly.
"Who?" The man in the room was very alert. He opened the drawer and took out a pistol, and said alertly: "Who is you?"
——Dominate human beings.
Xiao En's will instantly invaded his brain and controlled his heart.
Things are not complicated.
The black market in the Dorne region has always been secretly in need of a large number of corpses. You can get 5 dinars for reselling a complete corpse. However, because there are people above Dorne City, some people have taken the idea to the turbulent Dagon region. , these corpses are most likely supplied to necromancers who study necromancy. In the past, all this was done secretly, but many people died in the recent smog incident, and some of the bodies were brought to the surface to handle transactions.
If you want to be buried in a cemetery area in a town, you need to pay a lot of money. Many ordinary people cannot afford it. If you are buried directly outside the town, you may be dug out and eaten by ghouls. Lose.
I don’t feel at ease no matter how I die.
So some black-hearted corpse collectors came into being.
There is a high probability that these corpses will be secretly sent to the necromancer's laboratory to make flesh golems and bone guards, as well as experimental materials for necromancy. The real country has been providing a steady stream of materials for the path of death. source of corpses.
Even because of the huge profits, there are body snatchers in the Dagon area who specialize in digging other people's graves.
This is a felony in Dorne.
But in Dagon, no one cares about these things at all, or the higher-ups know about it but no one asks about it, because they are also part of the interest chain, and the guardian family here has long since fallen.
Human smuggling and trafficking, forcing girls into prostitution, buying and selling organs, recycling corpses after use, completely squeezing out the last bit of profit value from ordinary people.
Dagon’s gray industry chain is huge.
"As long as the inheritance of the witchers is not rotten, I can still find a way to save it."
"If the witchers are rotten too, then we can only purge them!"
A killing spree.
There was a hint of horrifying murderous intent in Xiao En's eyes.
The chaos and turmoil in Dagon has provided space for too much darkness to breed. Without the protection of order, ordinary people are really at their mercy.
………………
At the same time.
Somewhere in the weird kingdom, an artifact from another world also entered here.
It is called - Pale Justice.
The paladin who holds it is suffering from the backlash of the twisted laws of madness because of the different laws of the world.
