Chapter 122 Seven Apostles
Year 648 of the Demon King's Calendar.
May 19th, morning.
Viola's arrival did not cause much disturbance. After the welcome ceremony, the residents of Sailing City resumed their usual lives. For the common people, it was just a little more fun to talk about after dinner.
What they don't know is that there are many secrets hidden just below this big city.
Since Sailing City was originally built as a supply station for exploring the boundaries of the world, this place had a period of extremely chaotic management. Some discerning people realized its future achievements and established many official maps early on. There is no secret room.
In the cold and damp secret room, the thick stone door slowly opened under the impetus of invisible force, and a man wearing a robe whose face could not be seen clearly walked in.
As the door closed again, the surroundings fell into pure darkness.
"Oh, oh, everyone, stop hiding and come out quickly."
This person's voice sounded like he was performing a comedy show, probably playing long notes to make the audience laugh.
At this time, with a soft "burst" sound, the torches placed around the secret room were automatically ignited, lighting up a light purple flame.
The flames swayed and turned into twisted and shrunken human faces. Although it was very blurry, it could be seen that the details of each face were slightly different.
"Princess Viola."
"In Sailing City."
"This morning."
"She's arrived."
Brief but continuous sounds came one after another from all directions, and neither man nor woman could be distinguished.
"Kill her."
"Otherwise not."
"Defeat the Demonic Kingdom."
"must."
"Of course it's no problem, I have a very suitable candidate."
After hearing this man's answer, the torches made sounds again.
"question."
"Demon King God."
"Where did it come from?"
"have no idea."
"His details."
"unimportant."
"But it will interfere."
"us."
"It must be destroyed."
"Please don't worry."
The man bent down slightly:
"My Lord's divine power fills this room, and the Demon King will not notice it."
"careful."
"Don't be careless."
"Demon King God."
"Incredibly powerful."
"Can't face it."
"confrontation."
"Of course I won't be careless. In fact, my Lord has noticed it a long time ago. We can temporarily block the interference of the Demon King God."
"That's good."
"Absolutely not."
"resurrection."
"Can't let Him."
"Ancient Shadows."
"The Demon King's Ring."
"Protect it."
"Kill the princess." "Destroy the temple."
After a slight pause, almost all the torches made a sound at the same time:
"For the Seven Apostles!"

Li Chengqi looked at the screen and couldn't help but yawned.
On the computer screen on the left, Yang Yiyi was still sitting cross-legged without any movement, while Viola was only interesting when she got off the boat. Li Chengqi watched her patrolling the streets in a car and waving to civilians.
But soon Viola ran to the conference room for a meeting.
Although the content of the meeting seemed important, it had little to do with Li Chengqi. He took a few glances and found out that they were talking about how many regular merchant ships should be added to the Leon Territory and how many people in the Demon Kingdom of Avarus are currently resisting. , where to start when preparing for a counterattack in the future.
It was really difficult to arouse his interest in such a boring meeting.
When Li Chengqi was thinking about whether to watch a TV series to pass the time first, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't watched How is Aldai recently.
Since the girl returned, she first stayed in Leon's territory for two days, and then ran back to the academic city through a portal.
Having said that, he still missed the days when Aldai lived in his house.
Just do what you think of, but Viola and Yang Yiyi don't need to worry about it for the time being. Li Chengqi opened the map, selected the icon of Academic City, and moved the camera there.
To dispel the fog of war on the map, believers need to walk there. Aldai now has a piety of 10 and is considered a believer, so there is an academic city on the map.
Generally speaking, as long as the believer reaches a location, the fog of war in that location will be cleared.
For example, the Fortress of Leon, or the time Zola ran to the dungeon to get the Ring of the Demon King, the map opened by itself as soon as he entered the door.
But not absolutely.
For example, in a large city like Qihang City, the map will not open fully automatically. Li Chengqi estimated that it is because the area is too large. The same is true for Academic City.
A two-story villa can be seen on the screen, which is Aldee's home.
The streets around the villa and the nearby small park have also been detected. Li Chengqi heard Aldai say that she would go for a walk near her home when she was not inspired. It was probably this habit that caused the area around the villa to be detected.
But other than that, all that can be seen is a straight street that has been detected, and most areas of the academic city are shrouded in the fog of war.
This girl really doesn't go out much. Judging from her movements, she only moves around home.
Following the straight street, Li Chengqi zoomed in a little bit.
In the academic city, water resources seem to be very abundant. You can see a fountain at a distance on the street, and there is a pool for cleaning within a few steps.
Unlike modern cities where water is transported through pipelines, water in academic cities mostly travels through waterways.
It was something like a Roman waterworks, with a canal spanning over the houses and trickling water through it throughout the city.
The architectural style is also very different from that of Leon Territory and Sailing City. Almost all of them are white marble. The whole street looks clean and tidy, and it doesn't look like a painting style.
It's not surprising if you think about it carefully. After all, looking at the map, Sailing City and Leon Territory are in the upper left corner of the map, while Academic City is in the lower right corner.
With such a long distance and a very large geographical span, it is normal for different architectural styles to emerge.
And besides the buildings, the people walking on the streets are also very different from those in Qihang City.
The streets of Qihang City are full of demons that look very similar to humans, and there are almost no other races.
In the academic city, the demons seemed to be a minority.
Even if you don't count the common races in magic like elves, dwarves, gnomes, and halflings, there are still many people of different races walking on the road.
For example, a dragonborn with a dragon head on his head and his whole body covered in scales looks like a human-shaped dragon.
There are also those who look slender and tall, and look like a dragonborn from their back, but when they turn their heads, they find that they are snake-men with the head of a snake.
Another example is a tiefling with two horns on its head, a tail trailing behind its butt, skin color ranging from red, cyan and yellow, and some of the whites of its eyes to black.
To be honest, they look more like demons...
When Li Chengqi was wandering around, he saw a blue-skinned young lady with a graceful figure, and even with the pixel style, she could tell that she was wearing something similar to a swimsuit.
He thought he would see something good, so he hurriedly clicked on the realistic vertical painting, but he saw the scarlet parotid glands squirming on this young lady's face...
Moreover, there are also people who look similar but are not of the same race.
The three dragonborn, lizardmen, and snakemen look very similar on the pixel-style screen. Unless you click on the vertical painting, it is difficult to see the difference.
In addition, there are actually many different subraces of the same race.
Li Chengqi saw a dragonborn standing on the street with a drawing board, but when he clicked on his character panel, it read 'Magic Scale'.
I feel like if no one explains it clearly, it would be really difficult to identify them.
If you can describe it in one sentence.
That is ‘taking shape’.
