"Count, when you came here before … did you also see such an artistic scene?"
"Almost the same, but the atmosphere was not so dense."
"The [Art Festival] is in progress, so it is reasonable for the atmosphere to be dense.
In this way, there is no problem. At least we can be sure that the other party did not deliberately make such a 'city painting' scene against us.
Moreover, the art works that I have seen so far have no effect on me. "
"Tsk! What effect can the low-level works created by this kind of trash Hybrid Demon have?
If it was just this group of inferior Hybrid Demons stationed here, would this Count be afraid before? I can kill them all in minutes, okay?
These idiots are not even an appetizer. When you reach that guy's palace, you will naturally feel it.
However, there is one thing I need to remind you. "
"What is it?"
"Once, when I noticed the abnormality, I decided to escape the city overnight.
The scene that I saw was completely different from the original city street scene … It may be an illusion caused by the [Thought Invasion], or it may be a special method set by the [Overlord] in the city.
At that time, I was in a hurry to escape, so I did not investigate further. "
"Completely different city? What kind of scene is it? "
"A distorted and abstract fallen city."
"Very interesting information, Count, you are quite reliable."
"Don't go against the [Painter], we can talk about anything."
"Rest assured, unless I am forced into a corner, I will not take the initiative to provoke this [Atavistic Body] … That's right! If I kill this [Painter], it should be a great help to you, Count.
For example, by absorbing the blood of the [Atavistic Body], maybe it will let you, Count, have a breakthrough and even touch the [Atavistic Body]. "
"Don't … This Count is now in a good state, there is no need for a breakthrough."
Han Dong snickered when he heard that.
The more scared Count was, the more Han Dong wanted to see what the [Atavistic Body] Hybrid Demon looked like.
…
Along the red brick paved streets, all the way up, they finally arrived at the [Vanuatchi Street] in the mountaintop area.
Only those who passed the art review or were invited by the Overlord could enter this main street.
At the entrance, there was a huge Hybrid Demon (Mature Demon) guarding it.
This was also the first time he had seen a non-spiritual-type Hybrid Demon since he had come up the mountain … its huge body took up almost a third of the street, and the aura it emitted was slightly weaker than the Bamboo Flute Messenger.
He was wearing a leather coat with a strong religious color (the surface of the leather was inlaid with various styles of crosses and some pages of the Bible were fixed).
In his left hand, he held a "meat hammer" – a crimson heavy hammer made of compressed meat with sharp spikes growing between the meat.
In his right hand, he was holding a "Forbidden Shield". The surface of the shield was covered with forbidden words. More than ten different human hands were fixed on the surface of the shield (with iron nails piercing through the fingers and the bottom of the shield), as if to express that no one was allowed to pass through.
Without the structure of his skull, it was unknown how he could use his sensory abilities.
"Another [Mature Hybrid Demon] … As expected of a city that corresponds to a [Medium Title Deed].
However, it seems to be a newly formed mature body. Its strength is not as strong as Count or the [Hidden Corpse] that I just recruited. "
The envoy in charge of leading the way, Zorro, said.
"Guda, these are the honored guests invited by the Lord to participate in the art festival."
The guard called Guda didn't directly let them pass.
Instead, he held the Forbidden Shield in his hand and leaned towards the crowd.
The hands fixed on the surface of the shield opened their eyes of different sizes and carefully observed this group of outsiders … especially in front of Han Dong for a long time.
After confirming that the masks worn by the four people were emitting the aura of the Lord's palace.
He slowly moved his body and allowed them to pass.
"Please don't mind.
Guda is a loyal servant that the Lord picked up from the outside … except for the Lord's direct orders, he doesn't listen to anything.
We are now entering the core street covered by this year's art festival. Only qualified Hybrid Demons with artistic attainments can participate.
Everyone is allowed to have high-level artistic exchanges, creations, and art sales here.
At the same time, they are also allowed to visit the Lord's private palace and art gallery for a 'limited time' and accept the art assessment from the Lord … Only a few talented Hybrid Demons can be favored by the Lord and work in the art gallery. "
"Okay."
It was another important piece of information.
From Han Dong's observation, [Perugia] had a serious hierarchical system. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, the corresponding level of residents in different areas was different.
Even the current main street was divided into high-level artists and masters who could be recruited by the Lord to work in the art gallery.
In other words.
The core combat power of [Perugia] was basically concentrated in the Lord's palace.
Moreover, Han Dong also faintly saw another problem.
A large part of the Hybrid Demons here didn't like the artistic culture left by humans.
They just wanted to improve their "spiritual power" by pursuing the artistic realm. They hoped to achieve self-improvement through artistic creation and reach the realm of atavism.
It was still a primitive impulse to pursue power.
When stepping on [Vanugia Street], the spiritual pressure in all aspects suddenly increased.
The sacred defense line in Wino's mind was impacted to a certain extent … Just when she tried to pray to herself, she was pulled by Han Dong.
"Sister Wino, if you use your ability here, you will be targeted … Let me help you reduce the pressure."
Han Dong hugged her to his side and then put his mouth next to Wino's ear.
Such an action made her face under the mask immediately blush, but when she thought that she was acting as Nicholas's wife, she tried her best to suppress the resistance in her heart.
"Hahaha …" The crazy laughter entered her ears.
The unprecedented refreshing feeling made Wino return to the state when she first came up the mountain.
The whispers and strange sounds in her ears, the rat beasts and colors in her consciousness all disappeared.
"Nicholas, you!"
"Follow me the whole way, don't leave for any reason."
"Okay …"
Wino was a very strong girl since she was young. No matter what she did, she wanted to be the first and be stronger than the boys … This was the main reason why she could pass the [Combat Nun] test.
A feeling of "dependence" that she had never felt before swept through her body.
Staring at the young man beside her who hugged her, she no longer felt any repulsion in her heart.
Just as they were about to arrive at [November 4th] Square in the city center.
The messenger who led the way suddenly stopped.
"Please follow me directly to the Umbria Art Gallery to participate in the highest palace banquet that the Lord will also attend …"
"Did something happen?"
"The Lord gave a very high evaluation of your 'mask design', especially the three of you … You are exempted from the process of artistic creation in the square.
I hope you have adapted to the artistic atmosphere here.
Don't show any 'uncomfortable' attitude in front of the Lord. "
