As the Dragon's Eye shone, the countless vines seemed to be stimulated, and tightened. Then, a scream came from the vines, and hot blood splattered out, staining the Cathedral Square red.
Then, the Cathedral Square fell silent.
Amidst the deathly silence, Lin Li slowly retracted the blood-vines that covered the ground. He glanced at the bandits who had survived. "Is there anyone else who wants to have dinner?"
The surroundings were still deathly silent. Apart from the sound of heartbeats and breathing, the entire church square was suffocatingly quiet. The dozen or so bandits looked at each other, and no one dared to say a word. Their gazes towards Lin Li were filled with fear and despair. At this moment, they really could not wait to hide. Who would dare to provoke this God of Death?
"Very well …" Lin Li gave a satisfied smile as he scanned the bandits. "Since everyone is so polite, I shall not make things difficult for you. Leave everything you have with you and you may leave."
"Yes, yes, yes …" Marko's death had scared the guts out of the group of bandits. Now that they heard that Lin Li was willing to let them go, they were overjoyed. How could they be calculative about that little bit of stuff? In an instant, there was a continuous clanging sound, and more than ten weapons were thrown on the ground one by one. As if to prove their sincerity, two cowardly bandits deliberately ran to the long table, lifted the wooden box filled with silver coins, and placed it at Lin Li's feet with a fawning look on their faces.
After that, the group of bandits all heaved a sigh of relief at the same time. It was too dangerous to collect protection fees today. They actually met with trouble in a small place like Black Clouds Town. Damn it, why did such a powerful mage come to Black Clouds Town for no reason? He almost got me killed. If I had known earlier, I would have followed the other team to rob the merchant caravans. Who knows, it might not be as dangerous as collecting protection fees in Black Clouds Town …
Fortunately, this mage still had some humanity in him. Although he killed Marco, the lives of the others were saved at least …
"Wait …"
The group of bandits was secretly rejoicing, but Lin Li's "wait" almost scared them to the point of peeing their pants. More than 10 burly men stood there in a daze, and looked at each other like children who had done something wrong but did not know what they had done wrong. After staring for a full five minutes, one of the more courageous bandits finally stood out from the crowd, and asked in a trembling voice, "M-Mr … Respected Mr Mage, w-what other orders do you have?"
"Do I need to remind you again? What I'm saying is, leave everything you have … "
"…"
As soon as he said this, the bandits were all stunned. Did he even have to take off his clothes? That was too humiliating. If it had been any other time, these bandits would have started a riot. They were members of the Syer Bandits, and yet they were stripped naked. That was a slap in the face, but now, none of them dared to say anything, and everyone was struggling with all their might …
Finally, the desire to live overcame everything else …
A leather armor was thrown onto the square, followed by a second, a third, and then a pair of underwear. In just a short while, there was a tall pile of clothes on the church square.
"Alright, you can leave now."
The dozen or so bandits who had been stripped naked escaped from Black Clouds Town. This scene would still be a joke many years later, and the residents of Black Clouds Town would always talk about the time when President Felic first came, and the dozen or so bandits who had been running naked …
…
The wooden chest full of silver coins returned to the hands of the residents of Black Clouds Town. Old Salatt was the one in charge of distributing the silver coins. This old blacksmith's character was one of the best in Black Clouds Town. Naturally, no one had any objections to him distributing the silver coins. At this time, Lin Li quietly returned to his hut because he knew very well that if he did not leave now, he would not be able to leave when the residents of Black Clouds Town came to their senses. If that happened, wouldn't he be in deep trouble when the people of Black Clouds Town came to their senses? Wouldn't he be in deep trouble then?
However, when he returned to his house, Lin Li had an extra item in his hand.
From the looks of it, it should be a key. If Lin Li did not remember wrongly, Garso had been searched by the bandits when he was brought to the square, and the key that was about the length of a thumb was found. That was also the reason why Lin Li had stripped the bandits without hesitation.
"Alright, Connoris, you perverted peeping tom. I've got the key you wanted, hurry up and come out!" After returning to his house, Lin Li got Norfeller to guard the door before he secretly opened the Ring of Endless Storm and released Connoris.
"What peeping tom? That's terrible …"
"Nonsense!" Lin Li was furious when he heard this. "You still dare to say that you were not a peeping tom? Just now in the square, who was the one who nagged me to get this key? Do you know that in order to help you get this broken key, I had to strip all the robbers naked? Those who don't know might think that I have some special hobby … "
"So exciting?"
"Shut up!" Lin Li put the key on the table with a gloomy face. "If you don't give me a reasonable explanation today, get ready to stay in the ring for another month!"
"Don't rush, don't rush, listen to me slowly …" Perhaps it was because he had been locked in the Ring of Endless Storm for too long, Connoris was especially straightforward today. "If I remember correctly, the owner of this key should be my neighbor …"
"Your neighbor?" Lin Li was stunned for a while before he reacted. "You mean, a demon?"
"That's right, a real high-level demon, the Lord of the tenth level of the Abyss, Saradus!"
"What the hell …"
"Young man, calm down. Don't be too shocked. What I'm going to tell you later is much more shocking than this. Speaking of my neighbor, he is really an unlikeable fellow. Since the day he was born, he had never stopped provoking me. Unfortunately, he did not succeed even once. How could the great Soul Trader lose to a poor reptile? That was really a memorable period of time. We spent almost every day in battle. There were always countless demons fighting between the tenth and eleventh levels of the Abyss until one day, Osric brought his Magic Legion into the Abyss. Those damned High Elves were really too strong. Osric's Magic Legion was like a meat grinder, grinding every demon they met into pieces. Of course, that included my cute neighbor … "
"Osric only used one evening to conquer the tenth level of the Abyss, and almost killed my cute neighbor …"
"Almost?"
"Yes, almost …" Connoris was completely immersed in his memories now. His originally hoarse voice was filled with emotions and nostalgia. "Under the pursuit of the Magic Legion, Saradus shamefully escaped. He escaped into my palace …"
"That's really stupid …"
"Heh …" Connoris laughed shamelessly. "You're right. I did kill him and devour his soul. But that's normal. The Abyss is a place where the strong prey on the weak. If I escaped into Saradus' palace, my cute neighbor would have done the same without hesitation."
"Cut the crap and get to the point."
"I think you should know that there are always some memory fragments in the soul. So, when I devoured Saradus' soul, I got a part of his memory, and some of it was about this key. It turned out that many years ago, Saradus had sneaked into the world outside the Abyss, and built his own force there. I did not find the situation of this force in the memory fragments, but one thing is for sure. My cute neighbor had a special interest in all kinds of magical metals. It was no exception after coming to this world. He used his own strength to collect countless precious magical metals in this world, and hid them in a secret place. The key to open this place is in the hands of a human servant who is loyal to him …"
"Another treasure?" Lin Li gradually understood what Connoris was trying to say.
"Yes."
"Then, did you find the exact location of the treasure in Saradus' memory fragments?"
"Heh, this is what I wanted to discuss with you. How about it, my dear partner? Are you interested in obtaining the wealth left behind by a Demon Lord?"
"Are you going to say it or not?" Lin Li was very clear about the personality of the great Soul Trader. When he heard the word "discuss", he knew that this fella was not telling him this out of goodwill. He immediately opened the Ring of Endless Storm, and was about to put this fella back in.
"What the hell, how can you threaten a great Soul Trader like this?" The dark Dimensional Space had always been Connoris' weakness. When he saw Lin Li open the Ring of Endless Storm, he quickly begged for mercy. "Don't, don't, don't … Don't do this. I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything …"
"That's more like it …"
