It was only now that Tang En understood why the Ryan Empire had been corrupted by the believers of Chaos.
The believers of Chaos had spread to other regions even earlier than that, and it was already too late when Emperor Klein received the news.
Five years ago, Prince Groma of the Ryan Empire had also been tempted to join the Chaos religion, and the timing matched (see Chapter 824). Later on, Prince Groma sent the believers of Chaos to Bul-Kathos not too long ago, or else Bul-Kathos would have become a dead city just like Lothamar Castle.
When Daxas heard Tang En's words, he exclaimed, "That's impossible! How could they have traveled so far in such a short time?! "
"It's entirely possible. After being corrupted by the aura of Chaos, their need for food would greatly decrease, and the consumption of physical strength would be almost negligible. Moving around day and night would allow them to move as efficiently as carriages."
Tang En finished speaking indifferently, and continued to ask, "What's the situation in Lothamar Castle now?"
"Simply put, it's a dead city, but no one knows the specific situation because no one can enter the city."
Daxas smiled bitterly, "The only Paladins who can enter Lothamar Castle have all withdrawn from the Solant Kingdom, and no one knows where they went …"
Tang En heard this, and thought, Damn, it's because of me again?
Because of the deal with the Radiant Church, the official and reserve members of the Paladins were all mixed in with the army of the Irus Empire, and were having a great time fighting the demons from the Purgatory Abyss in the camp of the Great Rift Valley. The Solant Kingdom had courted death by blocking the news, so it was no wonder that the Radiant Church did not know about the situation …
Tang En thought for a moment, and asked, "What's the matter with the members of the Thieves Guild that you mentioned earlier?"
Daxas said in a muffled voice, "Like we said earlier, although no civilians can leave Lothamar Castle, the Thieves Guild has its own secret passage that can leave Lothamar Castle.
However, being able to leave is one thing, but we don't know if we should accept them. "
Daxas stretched out a hand. "Everyone knows that the aura of Chaos is corrosive. Once someone is infected by it, if they don't immediately escape from the area of effect of the aura of Chaos, the degree of corruption will become deeper and deeper, and the infected will become the source of the corruption.
"We're worried that if we accept them, we'll also be corrupted …"
Of course, Daxas's worries were not unfounded. The corruption process of the believers of Chaos was just as he had imagined. If he did not pay attention, he might have already become a target of corruption. By the time he realized it, he might have already been deeply corrupted and could no longer live without the aura of Chaos.
Twain pondered for a moment before asking, "Where are those people now?"
"In the northern suburbs of Alcârrea, in a stronghold outside the city. Although we can see from the news that they're still rational, it's common for them to be slightly infected with the aura of Chaos. We can't be sure if they're completely normal or have already been infected …"
"Daxas well.
"Daxas well!"
Although it was said to be a vote, Daxas himself was against coming into contact with Chaos believers. Once infected, it was no different from death.
Hence, he immediately rejected Tang En's suggestion.
"Don't be in such a hurry to reject."
Tang En waved his hand, and said, "I can help you determine their situation, and even purify the aura of Chaos on them. You don't have to worry."
"What a joke!"
Before Daxas could speak, the bandits beside him could not help but say, "Up till now, no one has been able to reverse convert Chaos believers! The corrupted believers of Chaos are hopeless! "
"That's right! The pope of the Radiant Church, His Excellency Jesolini, or Saintess Eluri might have this ability, but you're obviously not them! Although you're strong, you're only at the legendary level. Even Angus and Jean wouldn't be able to purify Chaos believers. What right do you have to say that you can? "
"You're taking our lives as a joke!"
Of course, the bandits would not believe that Tang En really had the ability to purify Chaos just because he said so. When it came to matters of life and death, the fear in their hearts had already surpassed their fear of Tang En.
"Although I really want to prove to you that I'm telling the truth, but …"
Tang En glanced at the bandits and said indifferently, "What makes you think that I'm discussing this with you?"
This was an order!
Daxas suddenly felt a terrifying pressure on him. With a bang, he knelt on the ground. Not only him, but the remaining 17 bandits also knelt on the ground. Some of the weaker ones were even directly smashed to the ground.
"I'm giving you an order. Do you understand?"
Tang En looked down at the bandits. He did not have a good impression of ordinary bandits, nor did he have any patience for them.
Night Song, or rather, Aurelia, could be said to have a noble dream of robbing the rich to help the poor. On the other hand, these bandits were purely using their awakened talents and the grace of the gods for their own personal gain.
It was not just them. Even Selna Kohler, a legend in the world of thieves and a disgrace among legends, had the same attitude towards her.
Their awakened talents could have allowed them to become assassins and go on adventures with other adventurers. However, they chose to live in the shadows and steal from others for a living. This already showed that their courage and character were not that great.
Of course, Tang En did not think highly of them.
"You despicable parasite-like trash who steal for a living. Listen up. Tomorrow, when I come back, I want to see the bandits who escaped from Rothermarr City in the presence of the eighteen of you."
I need to know the specific situation of Lothamar Castle. If I don't see them, or if any of you are not here, then I don't need to appear again. "
Tang En slowly stood up and removed the Gravity Overlay spell, allowing Daxas and the others to regain their ability to breathe. He waved his hand lightly, and the two chairs disappeared.
Spatial equipment!
Seeing this, Daxas' heart was filled with jealousy and desire. His fear of Tang En deepened.
Spatial equipment was extremely rare. Those who could own such a treasure were either super strong, super rich, great nobles, or powerful figures like Emperor Klein. Only they could own and protect such a treasure.
If they could have a spatial equipment, it would be much easier for them to go out … No, if they had a spatial equipment, who would want to be a thief?
Thousands of thoughts flashed through Daxas' mind, but in the end, they all turned into one, and that was a deep desire.
Tang En noticed his gaze and smiled. "Do you want a spatial ring?"
Daxas nodded subconsciously, but then shook his head vigorously. This kind of question sounded like it could kill him. He definitely couldn't answer!
"If you want it, then work hard. If I'm satisfied, I can consider it."
Tang En casually threw a big jujube at them. His intelligence network in the Solant Kingdom was still very weak. If he could get in touch with the local Thieves Guild or recruit them for his own use, it would save him a lot of time to develop.
After Tang En stood up, he said, "In order to make you guys behave, I think it's better to tell you in advance. I've already left a mana mark on you. No matter where you run, you won't be able to escape from me. So, it's better not to try in vain."
The group of Bandits were all dumbfounded. Just now, they were all thinking about running away. Tang En's words sent them all to hell.
"But Your Excellency, you haven't said who you are."
Daxas tried to find out more about Tang En so that he could analyze the current situation from the information he had.
Tang En paused for a moment, then said calmly, "You can call me Nobodi now."
Nobodi? No impression at all!
When did such a strong person appear in Prandal?!
He said that they could call him Nobodi now. Does that mean that this name is very likely a fake name?
Who is his real identity?
At this moment, Tang En suddenly smiled strangely. "As for what I'll be called in the future, you don't need to know. You only need to know that Selna Kohler also needs to call me boss now."
Selna Kohler!
Daxas and the other thieves trembled and cried out, "The great Face of Mist!? How is that possible!? "
"Oh, yes, she claimed to have such a title. Seems like it was given to her by you thieves?"
Tang En smiled and waved his hand. "Work hard. Maybe you'll have a chance to work with her. I'll take my leave now. See you tomorrow."
Tang En waved his hand. The next moment, he tore open space and stepped into the spatial rift.
"The great God of Shadows …"
Daxas almost stopped breathing, and the thieves around him were all scared silly.
"He, he opened a spatial rift so casually …"
"He's at least a supreme powerhouse!"
"What supreme powerhouse!? The Face of Mist is a Legendary thief! Even he — Wait? Did he just say 'she'? The Face of Mist is a woman?! "
"Even Her Excellency Selna calls him 'Boss'. I can be sure that this person is definitely a Legendary expert!"
"Damn it! How did we meet such a powerhouse?! "
A commotion broke out in the basement. Each and every one of the bandits was in a state of confusion and panic.
At this moment, Daxas was the calmest.
A powerhouse of this level wouldn't find them for no reason, let alone kill them for no reason. In other words, if they didn't act recklessly, this might not be a crisis, but an opportunity!
"Director Zhi, what do we do?! Run? Or do we do as he says? "
The thieves were all panicking, not knowing what to do.
"Run? Run for what? Do you think you can escape from a Legendary powerhouse?! "
Daxas' face darkened. "Or do you think you can escape from the pursuit of a teleportation spell?! Don't forget, we all have a magic mark on us! "
The basement suddenly quieted down.
Daxas roared, "Don't panic! Let's move now and bring those unlucky bastards from Lothamar Castle over! We'll know tomorrow whether it's a blessing or a curse! "
