Dawn of the Grey Tower

Youhe's door, not closed, looked the same as usual. Below it, a hidden door was opened, and two figures fell one after the other on the suspension bridge over the river, moving forward against the splash of the water below.

The person walking behind, wearing a gray robe, kept his hood swaying in the wind, but was not lifted, as if an invisible force was preventing this from happening.

The people walking in the front have gray hair. Judging from their hair color alone, they are already in their twilight years. His face is indeed like this, the gully face and the hand holding the suspension bridge silently speak of the vicissitudes of his experience.

The one walking in the back is naturally cheese, and the one walking in the front is Jung. In fact, the mage was also taken aback when he saw the change of the latter. Vampires can adjust their appearance details, such as hair color and pupil color, which is not unusual.

The real anecdote is that out of aversion to death, the kinsmen often don't let their appearance show oldness, aging means dilapidation, and will arouse the palpitations of passing away. But Jung did just that. He did not shy away from transforming his appearance into an old man in his twilight years, and in his actions he also showed a posture consistent with his appearance. Although it was mostly because he was walking on flowing water.

Vampires are afraid of running water. They can't really kill a blood clan holding the blood of the true ancestor. But the flowing river is enough to become a natural coffin, blocking the nobles of the night who accidentally fall into it. Therefore, being thrown into the sea is a cruel torture within the blood clan than being exposed to the sun, because it means the eternal darkness and loneliness and cold.

However, due to the consideration of the recovery of the blood of the true ancestors, there are few blood races who have been subjected to this torture in the entire history of the twelve bloodlines. In the entire blood family law, this punishment has not been used as a punishment. The result of the sentence, because even the writer himself was afraid of it.

Fear is a subtle thing. It is a bit like wine. It is very strong when you first taste it. You will choke on a cough. If you drink it right, you will vomit and lose consciousness. Someone swears never to drink again, and then fills the glass again when night falls. Fear is also the case. The water splashes on the skin. The coldness reminds Jung of wet soil. The soil will pour into the nose, into the lungs, and fill the whole body. It is the feeling of death.

But since he made this ropeway as a backup channel, naturally he didn't use it to kill himself. He knew that although the water here reminded him of death, it didn't really make him go back underground.

As a result, fear fermented into a more subtle emotion and became the most powerful stimulant. The cheese walking behind couldn't see how distorted Jung's smile was now. This twisted smile didn't disappear until they reached the end of the suspension bridge and climbed a ladder.

When they climbed to the floor, the mage discovered that this place should be a certain slave trader's warehouse. A large number of cages covered with curtains were piled up here, some were empty, and some made unknown sounds. Both the blood race and the gray robe have the ability to see things in the dark, so they can easily walk through the dark cages without being tripped.

"This place once belonged to a slave merchant who made money by selling civilians in other areas. I think his business has a non-benign influence on the city, so I took over his business and territory. You see, take prisoners of war. It’s one thing to turn debtors into slaves. It’s another to rob civilians at will. The former is part of the business, while the latter is disrupting the order of identity. If everyone could be turned into slaves, who would Try to get close here? Respect is necessary if you want to develop." Jung explained softly, and he could hear that he attached great importance to the concept of respect.

"The respect of this city has made it devastated. Too many dark corners are enough to breed too much decay. I have never heard of the existence of three kinds of evil gods in any city at the same time. It is said that this is only the evil **** related to the current. When the power of these guys becomes huge, there will be no development at all. The coming of a fanatical sacrifice is enough to destroy everything." Cheese frowned slightly. , The frivolous words of the blood family made him feel very dissatisfied.

For people who have lived in Grey Pagoda and Cangshi for most of their time, self-discipline is a must, as is the moral ethics developed by self-discipline. If the so-called respect means the destruction and contempt of moral ethics, it is not respect. The problem is just an excuse for madness under the guise of respect.

"It is precisely because of this that I chose to walk with you. Rushing is a big and energetic tree, and its branches sometimes grow too densely, which requires people like you and me to trim it. As for you There are too many cultists here, so I will tell you a subtle reality. When there are only one or two evil gods worshiping forces in this city, people must open every cave to hunt them like mice. When the cultists here proliferate rapidly like rabbits, they have formed effective checks and balances between themselves. The sacrifice you said was not that no one had prepared it. But do you guess who destroyed those sacrifices in the end? I am not a big figure in this city, but other cultists. They will not tolerate someone who invites something of worship earlier than themselves." Jung's voice was bitter.

For a person who has a strong hatred with the evil god, what just said was light, but in fact, no one knows the powerless feeling of having to rely on cultists to check and balance each other to maintain security.

He was eager to purge these damned things from this city and the world, but he suffered from the limitation of his ability. And this is why he chose to act with cheese this time. Jung saw hope from the abilities displayed by the gray robe, hope to break the current deadlock.

Cheese is not dull, and he has faintly noticed something from the inconsistency of the blood family's words.

"Maybe you are right. It's just that these guys are hidden dangers after all. The containment will only work when the strength is equal. If someone breaks the balance of power between them, then it will not be solved by a check and balance. And before that , I hope you can tell me our goal this time. I have dealt with many evil gods. Frogwalkers are not among them. I don’t know much about Him and His followers.”

Jung nodded when he heard this. He brought the cheese here for this purpose. He confirmed the position and stretched out a thick cloth to reveal the iron cage below and the contents inside. "The frogwalker, just like his name, is similar to the frog in our world. But that's just a similar appearance, or people really It cannot be described with known knowledge, so it can only be named with the most similar image. His followers are generally active near the river, engaged in all kinds of undesirable transactions, and the purpose is to earn money and Right, gain status among the believers, and achieve the great transformation in their mouths."

The things in the cage, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com was grotesque and disgusting. It was a corpse. It seemed that the cause of death was due to hunger and thirst in a cage. The limbs of the mummy are delicate, even if it has no muscles, it can be seen from the structure of the bones and skin that the rear ends of its limbs, that is, the forearms and lower legs, are abnormally developed, while the front ends are degenerated and atrophy.

Similarly, the two holes that took up almost half of the skull looked terrifying. If they were eyeholes, I am afraid that they would not be too frightened when they were alive. The skin of the corpse was like rubber that had lost its elasticity, crumpled and shrunk, disgusting. In general, it looks like a frog-like creature with a human size and certain human-like characteristics, but if you look closely, you can find that the frog-like characteristics on this thing actually look similar to frogs, and are essentially There are differences in function and structure.

"This is a guy who was interrupted during the transformation ceremony. It has a high degree of transformation and is almost about to succeed. However, another group of cultists' attacks made the ceremony fall short. Thanks to this, I can get it. This precious collection. Let’s get back to the subject. Individuals who have successfully transformed are called amphibians. They have the ability to survive on land and in water and spend most of their time in water. Amphibians are the upper echelons of the church, and believers who maintain human appearance are just peripheral members. Only a very small number of missionaries did not convert in order to develop believers, and it is quite difficult to distinguish the status of those priests. So if you want to quickly understand intelligence, it is the easiest way to directly capture an amphibious."
