Chapter 158 Warlock Family
Pig.
In the culture of this land, it symbolizes laziness, filth, greed, etc., and limited by the productivity of this era, pigs are generally fed with excrement. In Xiao En's spiritual vision, at least one-third of the people reflected a ferocious pig-headed face. Regardless of whether they were ordinary people or extraordinary people, which sequence was the path to advancement to the extraordinary, even if they were wanderers in the shadow sequence, Behind him is also a hideous and twisted projection of a pig-headed human body.
The wanderer has become so fat that he weighs nearly three hundred kilograms, making people doubt whether he can still escape into the shadows with his current body shape.
“It’s not the old days that come.”
"If the Old One had come, millions of people around the city would have died long ago."
Xiao En's brows furrowed. He had no doubt that the Old One was capable of killing everyone in one night. The living people in this city, even if they are just the incarnations of the past, will pollute all living things within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, twisting many people into distorted families.
“But the descendants of the old days are not that strong. If they are just descendants of the old days, it is impossible to pollute the entire city and distort everyone’s consciousness.”
The descendants of the old days are at least divine creatures. , the highest are demigods, they have incomplete laws, but among the known descendants of the old days, there seem to be few who have the ability to distort human cognition on a large scale. Moreover, the characteristics of the descendants of the old days are a bit like divine evil. They are extremely uncontrollable existences. If the descendants of the old days really descended, they would have already gone on a killing spree.
The knowledge in Xiao En's brain began to run wildly, and all relevant memory data were recalled. The mysterious knowledge in Xiao En's brain was like a search engine.
——"Old days."
When Xiao En inputs this term into his brain, no matter what he has mastered or what he has not mastered, as long as he uses reading magic to memorize the reserved knowledge in his brain, all After being read through, the mysterious knowledge automatically correlates and automatically checks and completes all relevant information.
The mage's erudition took effect at this moment. When Xiao En saw the scene in front of him, he had already guessed what had happened here.
"The Chosen God of the Old Ones!..."
It is not the arrival of the Old Ones, nor the heirs of the Old Ones, then there is only one possibility. Someone here has fallen and become the Chosen Gods of the Old Ones, so that's why This chronic corruption will eventually distort the perception of everyone in the city.
Strictly speaking, more than 100,000 people have died in this city!
The reason why they are still alive now is because the old laws have distorted everything here. Once the old laws are stripped away and dispersed, at least more than 100,000 people will die from diseases and plagues. Being tainted with the breath of the past will allow mortals to gain strong vitality, and even be promoted to become twisted extraordinary beings.
"Why did things develop to this point?"
Xiao En's figure shuttled through the streets and alleys, and from time to time he would hear violent coughs coming from the residential buildings. The architecture has a very obvious Gothic style, because one of the pioneers here is an alien soul from another country. He started the inheritance of the demon hunters and built the headquarters of Crow's Nest here. Although the Demon Hunters and the Night Watch do not belong to the same system, the headquarters of the Path of Death is in the Kingdom of Dorne next door. Normally speaking, the Old Familia have penetrated so deeply that it is impossible for the demigods of the Path of Death not to notice it. of.
“Unless it is Dagon’s guardian family that has been corrupted!”
"Even."
"A certain demigod on the Path of Death has also been corrupted."
Based on Xiao En's understanding of the Night Watch system, Death Patrollers will regularly travel to surrounding areas , unless there is a big problem at the top, it is impossible to hide it.
The best case scenario now is that only the Guardian family has been corrupted by the past.
The worst case scenario is that there is a shadow of a demigod behind all of this.
Everything that happened in Ring City has completely disrupted Xiao En's plan to steal Dagon. Now he can only improvise and find out whether there is something wrong with the Guardian family or a certain demigod on the path of death. .
In front of a towering Gothic church building, Xiao En's figure gently landed on the top of the steeple.
His eyes were staring at the dark buildings in the distance, where the Demon Hunters' headquarters, the Crow's Nest, was inherited from a different world, said to be a world with two moons. The inheritance of the witcher will concoct the monster's extraordinary relics into a magical potion, and the promotion ceremony is completed by taking the potion. However, this kind of magic potion transformation is difficult to apply to other extraordinary ways, because the demon hunters themselves are also polluted, and they will lose the ability to reproduce.
Almost all known demon hunters have no offspring. In comparison, other extraordinary beings can still give birth to some offspring.
“Is the witcher dead?”
Xiao En's brows furrowed. Since arriving in the Dagon area, he has not found any trace of a demon hunter. The demon hunter path belongs to the dual cultivation of monsters. Compared with other different worlds, it is equivalent to their magic swordsmen. They will first directly use one of the extraordinary relics to obtain the enhanced ability of the flesh and blood side, and then mix the other extraordinary relics into By taking magic potions, they can obtain the most primitive magic power and master the medium and low-level spellcasting abilities, but they must rely on runes, seals, and emblems to complete spellcasting.
Xiao En's figure landed lightly, and when he walked out of the alley, he had transformed into a young man dressed in black and wearing a cloak and hood.
——Scouting Magic Eye!
Tiny constructed magic eyes flew out one after another. The strength of the Crow's Nest is far inferior to that of the Night Watch headquarters. The Dagon area is dominated by the inheritance of warlocks. Most of the guardian families are of the blood of warlocks. In order to To maintain the power of their bloodline, they continued to marry close relatives, which eventually led to the severance of bloodlines in several Guardian families.
Basically, there is no need to investigate the dirty information about the Warlock family. You can find it by simply looking through historical data. There is a reason why mages look down on Warlocks.
The guardian family of the ringed city was inherited from Imogen Waghorn, and was later renamed the Horn family. They declined hundreds of years ago, but because of the emergence of a genius among their many descendants, they rose again. Dagon's Most of the guardian families have a bloodline curse. As a result of inbreeding, they desecrated and polluted the source of their own bloodline. Extraordinaries born in this way also have an advantage, that is, they have been digesting the extraordinary essence since birth, and they have very powerful power before they reach adulthood. And because the time span of digestion is very long, they can suppress pollution from the source. .
The current leader of the Horn family is almost a hundred years old. There seems to be something wrong with their bloodline now, and the number of surviving heirs is very rare.
This is an endless loop.
Every one or two hundred years, the Guardian family will have difficulty in inheriting their heirs, but if they marry outsiders, they cannot maintain the power of the warlock bloodline. If the bloodline is further thinned, the chance of giving birth to a powerful warlock will be even smaller, and in the end the family will slowly decline.
Unless any of their descendants can rely on their own strength to become a destiny warlock.
The known guardian families seem to have some unique laws of destiny that can be passed on to future generations, and their family's rare items will also recognize the owner, and if they are not of their blood, they will not be able to use the rare items.
The reconnaissance magic eye monitored the nearby three kilometers. The entire crow's nest was completely silent, like a huge tomb, with a faint smell of decay inside.
Someone is dead!
And many people died!
——Spell sequencing.
——Accidental Technique (Trigger Technique).
A spiritual light flashed across Xiao En's body, and he filled several spells into the spell sequencer. After activating the rune sequencing, he could cast all the spells in one go.
The situation in the crow's nest is worse than Xiao En expected. It has almost turned into a corrupted devil's nest.
“Activate the psychic force field!”
“Activate the telepathy network! Detect all magic fluctuations within the range!”
——Advanced invisibility.
Xiao En's figure seemed to be a phantom, sneaking quietly into the headquarters of Crow's Nest. All the peripheral trigger warning devices had failed. There were dried black bloodstains on the ground, and there were ghosts lingering in the corners. The black shadow is not a living person, but a swollen and stitched corpse.
Through its semi-rotted face, Xiao En could vaguely see the shadow of a demon hunter.
“Necromancy!”
The entire front hall area of the crow’s nest has turned into a dirty and rotten cesspool, full of wriggling maggots and flying flies. Eggs, they grew to a size of nearly five centimeters under some evil aura.
"Quack!"
A strange hoarse voice sounded, and Xiao En saw a death raven with only half a head left. This was the messenger of the demon hunter, a strange supernatural creature. They gathered On the lush trees in the courtyard, rotten flesh and blood piled up several meters high under the trees, among which tumors like flesh cocoons were beating slowly.
“Which old power is it?”
“The Lord of Corruption?” “The Pot of Greed?”
"Or are there other old days hidden in other planes that I don't know about?"
Obviously.
The Old One who corrupted the entire city did not come from the material plane. He most likely came from other planes, such as the shadow plane, the spiritual plane, or even the legendary negative energy plane. noodle.
This city is shrouded in negative emotions such as death, corruption, gluttony, laziness, greed, etc. It does not seem like there is only one old power.
It’s impossible for someone to be chosen by the three gods, right?
There are no living people inside the entire crow's nest. Someone has wiped out all the demon hunters' inheritance. This is almost impossible in Xiao En's opinion. After all, it is the headquarters of an extraordinary inheritance, and there will be at least one or two destiny. Legendary powerhouses were in charge, but they all died quietly.
“Who?!”
Just when Xiao En sneaked into the underground area, a reconnaissance eye suddenly disconnected the spiritual link. It was difficult for the transformed undead to detect the reconnaissance eye. In the last scene, a sleeve arrow shot directly through the reconnaissance eye.
There are still living people! ?
Xiao En's figure flew out. The moment he came out, he saw a strong black shadow. The opponent jumped down from the height of three floors and flew past with incredible agility. When he reached the side roof of the Gothic church, it only took him a breath to reach a height of more than ten meters. By the time he caught up with him, the opponent had already glided across the roof and disappeared into the buildings hundreds of meters away. in.
He is a master!
It is almost certain that he is a transcendent of the Demon Hunter path. There should be some survivors here.
"Lock on the target."
Xiao En locked on the target's mental fluctuations, and with his figure floating in the air, he quickly chased towards the location where the opponent escaped.
The target escaped from the city without looking back. After getting close to the city wall, he shot a hook and climbed over the city wall of more than ten meters in an instant, and then escaped into a dark jungle. middle.
More than ten minutes later.
A slender and tall figure walked out of the shadows. He took off his hood, looked at his companions and said, "The infiltration failed."
"I don't know when a demon appeared in the headquarters. Eye."
"I was discovered."
"There was no time to go underground to retrieve the sealed object. The Horn family may have found help, so everyone dispersed immediately."< br>
This seems to be a misunderstanding.
After hearing the words of the demon hunter instructor, the three men and two women present could not help but look nervous and extinguished the bonfire in an instant. None of them were very strong. Between the first and second levels, there were extremely Possibly a witcher recruit in training. Demon hunters are different from night watchmen. They have their own training camp, which is inherited from the training methods of the souls of other worlds. The graduates are basically extraordinary level five or above. A qualified witcher needs to be proficient in all military weapons and master at least five rune spells.
Just as they were preparing to evacuate, a deep male voice suddenly sounded: "What happened here?"
Who?
The demon hunters present turned around with great vigilance, and some even instantly raised their sleeve arrows, which were smeared with poison.
——Human body-fixing technique!
Xiao En's figure slowly appeared. He gently raised a finger, and a young demon hunter was instantly frozen in place.
The demon hunter instructor's expression was extremely solemn, he pressed his palm on the hilt of the sword, and placed two pistols on his side, but he obviously believed more in his swordsmanship, he said in a deep voice He said: "Who is your Excellency?"
Xiao En glanced at him and said lightly: "Death Pilgrim."
When you go out, you give your identity to yourself.
Death Pilgrim?
Hearing Xiao En's words, the demon hunter instructor's expression became more alert. He said solemnly: "What evidence is there?"
Xiao En frowned when he heard this and thought about it. Thinking about it, he said lightly: "Do you recognize this?"
A emblem engraved with stars and wheat ears appeared.
The demon hunter instructor’s pupils shrank for an instant. He seemed to recognize this emblem. He lowered his head in shock and said, "Your Excellency is the chief disciple?"
Xiao En was noncommittal.
He said in a deep voice: "What exactly happened here? Why didn't you ask for help from other nearby Taoist traditions?"
People are almost dead, don't you know how to ask for help?
Hearing this, a sad smile appeared on the demon hunter's face, and he whispered: "All the messengers asking for help have disappeared."
Huh?
After hearing the other party's words, Xiao En's expression was extremely solemn and he said solemnly: "All are missing?"
"Yes." The demon hunter instructor lowered his head and said: "Including my mentor."
"There is no news at all."
Only a few scraps of the entire Demon Hunter legacy are left, and the middle and high-level leaders have been almost wiped out.
Xiao En was silent for a moment and said: "The Horn family has been corrupted?"
The demon hunter instructor nodded and said: "Yes. By the time we knew it, it was already too late. They launched an attack on the crow's nest."
Xiao En took a deep breath and said slowly: "There is death. The demigods of Daotu have also been corrupted?”
“Or just sit back and ignore them?”
Since spending so much time with Eamon, Xiao En has become very fond of the other demigods of death. They have low moral standards because many of them have lost their humanity.
Without the demigod of death controlling the situation behind the scenes, he would never believe that the news would be so sealed.
A big city with a population of nearly one million.
If you use the greatest malice to guess the person behind the scenes, what can these millions of people do?
The entire ringed city was shrouded in a strange ritual power.
For the existence of the Path of Death, this city is already a rich resource, and Xiao En also felt a trace of the 'plague', and the entire city was shrouded in a stinky cesspool. If there is a plague of undead, it will be like a powder keg exploding!
The water here is too deep.
