Holy City- Neunthenar.
The area closest to the city wall with the lowest level was the civilian area, the most densely populated area.
With the Moslabi River as the dividing line, the civilian area was completely separated from the core area of the Holy City- it was rumored that there was a second city wall at the bottom of the Moslabi River.
Once the outermost city wall was breached, the second city wall at the bottom of the river would immediately rise.
Returning to the civilian area.
For Han Dong, he didn't feel much.
After all, he didn't stay here for long. This was just the area where the owner of this body lived.
The streets were filled with dirty water.
The architectural style and arrangement without any regulations.
The pedestrians who didn't have much expectation for life walked on the streets.
In order to not attract attention, Han Dong wore plain casual clothes. With his short and yellow body, he quickly blended in with the civilians. No one doubted Han Dong's identity.
"The news reached the Holy City- about a week ago. Although this group of evildoers didn't 'do any evil'.
But the Knights and the Adventurer's Guild have been mobilized in batches to conduct a comprehensive search in the civilian area. They even checked house by house, but they didn't find anything. This is too unreasonable.
There must be some 'blind spot' that hasn't been discovered. "
Han Dong wasn't like a headless fly, searching aimlessly.
At the dining table, the moment Cass opened the stone box.
Han Dong secretly noted down the 'pollution' that could cause organisms to mutate. Through the uniqueness of the little magic eye, he could conduct a directional search for this unique pollution.
…
Just as Han Dong walked past two streets.
A young man in the same plain clothes was standing at the exit of another street, meeting up with Han Dong.
Demps Martin.
Although on the surface, it was said that they were going to split up.
However, Han Dong had predicted that the 'secrecy' of this infiltration would be extremely high. Therefore, he had privately invited Dempus to help.
After all, both of them had connections outside the city. They might find something if they used other means to investigate.
To be honest.
Demps was not the least bit interested in this kind of pure copper reward. The highest reward was 1,000 copper coins, which Demps could easily earn with a flick of his finger.
During the meal, Demps didn't say a single word.
However, since his companion needed help, Demps was willing to help.
"… Come here for a moment."
Demps, who was standing at the entrance of the alley, waved his hand slightly, indicating for Han Dong to come over and talk. He seemed to have discovered something.
"The matter this time is very troublesome, and the overall benefits are not high.
I need to ask you first, why are you investigating this matter? You can pay me back the money you owe me at any time. There's no need to take this risk. "
"I'm more interested in the Hybrid Demon behind this. Also, I want to help that friend complete his seed."
"Cass Maldini?"
"That's right …"
"Alright." Demps nodded and pointed to the depths of the alley. "Follow me. I have a lot of spies in the civilian area. They more or less know about the things that are going on in the dark."
"In the dark?"
"You have Mr. Black And White as your backer … I don't.
Even if I can please [Hera], if my identity is exposed, she definitely won't plead for me or take the initiative to take responsibility for anything.
I still have to have some necessary 'escape routes.'
Just like you, Nicholas, other than Mr. Black And White, you've also started to leave some 'escape routes' outside the city. "
Knock, knock, knock …
Dempus knocked on a wooden door in the depths of the alleyway.
Squeak, squeak, squeak! A large number of rats immediately scurried out of the opening at the bottom of the old wooden door.
These rats seemed to have run out because they were disturbed, but in fact, it was a detection method used to determine the identity of the visitor outside the door.
The wooden door opened.
A hooded tramp stuck his head out, and a foul smell came from his body.
"Lord Six Fingers, why are you here personally? Please come in … This is?"
"My friend."
"Good! Come in quickly. Recently, due to some troublesome matters, the Knights have been frequently searching the civilian area. "
As Han Dong and Demps entered.
This person released more rats, and they covered the entire alley. Once someone broke in, they would know immediately.
…
When they stepped into the room.
Demps immediately produced a ball of flame in his palm to illuminate the room.
Inside was a dilapidated wooden house that seemed to have been uninhabited for several years.
The ground and wooden beams were crawling with rats, and various food scraps were scattered all over the floor … It did not look like the so-called stronghold Demps mentioned at all.
"This is Rat Man Gerd, my receptionist … I once picked him up from the dirtiest rat den in the civilian area. He's a very capable person in terms of perception."
"Hello!"
When Gerd took off his hood, a protruding face with a long and hard beard was revealed. He reached out a claw covered in black fur and shook Han Dong's hand.
Han Dong did not mind.
Just as the two of them shook hands …
Han Dong could faintly sense an aura from outside the city from this person's body, but it was very weak. Han Dong had to be very close to him to sense it.
Relatively speaking.
This rat man also felt a high-level pressure from Han Dong, and his eyes were immediately filled with respect.
"This is … a wild monster? No … it should be a human, right? "Han Dong could not figure out Gerd's position for a moment.
However, when he thought about it carefully and combined with Demps's previous words.
"Demps, could it be … that you gave him the ability?"
Demps smiled knowingly. "Deputy Captain is indeed powerful … Gerd, bring us down."
"Yes!"
They moved the wooden bed.
Under Drieg's control, a large number of rats pushed away the wooden planks on the ground, revealing a secret passage that led deep underground.
The so-called 'stronghold' was revealed.
It was similar to an underground tavern.
With a few candles for illumination, there were 'all kinds of people' gathered inside. There were at least dozens of people … They were similar to Rat Man Drieg, and they all had some characteristics that were different from humans.
When Gerd led the two of them to the huge underground tavern.
All the civilians gathered here placed their right palms on their chests, lowered their heads, and greeted in unison.
"Lord Six Fingers!"
Han Dong scanned this group of people through the enhanced vision of the little magic eye. He could not find any trace of impurity in their eyes at all. They were 100% loyal to Demps.
Such a scene made Han Dong associate it with some underground churches.
If this group of civilians were replaced with believers, Demps would be the only god they worshipped.
Obviously, Demps had spent a lot of energy here.
"How did you do it?"
Demps replied with a smile, "It's very simple. I gave them something that the Holy City could not give …"
"Let me ask them. They live in the darkest area of the civilian area and should know some information."
