Chapter 537: Dark Priest Disguised as a Scavenger
After a meal, as Sendi methodically analyzed the current situation, Kashin, who had been somewhat hesitant, finally gained firm confidence.
He firmly believed that everything depends on human efforts - the Kingdom of Pumasai will surely become a place of hope for mankind's future.
At the same time, after hard work and investigation, Night Owl Angel also successfully locked down the hiding place of Dark Priest.
When Kashen learned that the Dark Priest was hiding in the civilian area, he was shocked. After all, who would have thought that these evil forces would dare to hide among ordinary people so blatantly?
"Brother Kashin, we have finally found the culprit of this heinous crime! We have already conducted a thorough investigation of all places before, but we didn't expect that there are still fish that slipped through the net!
But now that his location has been determined, there is no need to hesitate any longer, let's get started." Sandy said seriously.
Kashin was eating a large piece of beef in front of him with gusto. After hearing what Sendi said, he raised his head and replied with a smile:
"Don't worry, senior. Even if we have to take action, we have to fill our stomach first. And you see, the situation here is not bad. According to the information we have so far, it seems that there is only one dark priest hiding here.
So, this time I plan to capture them alive, interrogate them thoroughly, and find out how many conspiracies they have yet to carry out.
As for why they were given the opportunity before, it must be because the Shadow Priest was hiding in the bustling crowd, and it was indeed difficult to identify him accurately.
But once they reveal their whereabouts, hehe! Then they will have no way to escape. In addition to surrendering obediently, do they have any other choice?"
After saying this, the two looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and then continued to leisurely enjoy the rich and delicious food on the table.
In the evening, the setting sun dyed half the sky red like blood, and the hustle and bustle of the city was gradually swallowed up by the night.
In a corner of this bustling city, a group of scavengers are busy shuttling between the streets and alleys.
These scavengers usually make a living by picking up scraps, and their lives are difficult and hard.
However, a special job recently gave them a glimmer of hope for a change in their fate - helping to carry the bodies of people who died from the plague. Although this job was full of danger and uncertainty, the high pay made them very excited.
After all, for these people at the bottom of society, their lives are worthless, so why should they be afraid of the plague?
After some calculations, he decided that if he could carry the corpses for two months, the reward would be enough to buy him the stone house he had always dreamed of in the city.
From then on, they could say goodbye to the dark, damp and smelly slums. As a result, men and women in the slums signed up enthusiastically to join this seemingly terrifying but hopeful mission.
It is worth mentioning that the City Hall was quite considerate. Not only did it equip them with a series of protective measures to reduce the risk of infection with the plague;
They also promised to provide them with three hearty meals a day, all of which would be delivered by the army, which undoubtedly made the scavengers feel a little relieved.
Today's workload was not too heavy, and the work was basically done around five o'clock. The young and strong scavenger, like yesterday, dragged his tired body and slowly moved forward with the cart full of corpses.
In his hands he tightly held the bread and steaming mutton that had just been distributed. It was a steaming hot meal that exuded an enticing aroma.
After passing through Xicheng District, an ancient stone bridge comes into view.
The wide river flowing under the bridge is called the Lambda River, which acts like a natural barrier, separating the slums from the outside world.
As he was about to reach home, the young scavenger suddenly felt an inexplicable fear in his heart.
For some reason, he always felt a chill down his spine, and an indescribable discomfort all over his body...
After getting on the bridge, Kashin appeared silently behind him, and Sendi appeared at the bridge head with a staff in his hand, looking at the young scavenger with a smile.
The other party looked at it carefully, and his heart couldn't help but tighten. He secretly said, "Oh no, is my identity exposed so easily? Impossible! How could this be possible? Maybe it's just a coincidence."
Thinking of this, he forced himself to calm down, took a deep breath, and reminded himself to stay calm and not panic.
So, in just a moment, his originally panicked face quickly returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
At this time, Master Sendi smiled and slowly said, "Young man, please follow me obediently. I just want to ask you a few questions. If you dare to resist, the consequences will be much more miserable than they are now."
The young scavenger waved his right hand, and a slender sword appeared out of thin air. The blade of the sword was shining with a faint light, which looked particularly mysterious and strange.
After all, Master Sendi was knowledgeable and experienced, and he recognized at a glance that this was no ordinary weapon, but a magical weapon that contained some powerful mysterious power.
Seeing this scene, Master Sendi couldn't help but be secretly shocked, thinking that this young man seemed to be no ordinary person, no wonder he dared to be so fearless.
However, facing Master Sendi's threat, the young scavenger did not show the slightest fear.
Without saying a word, he tightly gripped the sword in his hand and suddenly rushed towards Master Sendi like an arrow.
At the same time, he was muttering something, as if he was casting an extremely powerful spell.
Master Sendi's heart tightened when he saw this scene. He knew very well that the strength of the young scavenger in front of him should not be underestimated, but as a senior magician, he absolutely could not slack off or hesitate in the slightest.
He quickly raised his arm and held high the gorgeous and mysterious staff in his hand.
In an instant, a powerful energy gathered at the top of the staff, and the gem embedded in it, which was shining with dazzling light, began to emit heart-pounding lightning.
As Master Sendi muttered something, a lightning-like ray of light shot out from the gem at an astonishing speed! This ray of light was as dazzling as a meteor that streaked across the night sky, and it rushed straight towards the sword held tightly in the hand of the young scavenger with unparalleled power.
In a flash, at the critical moment when the two sides were about to engage in close combat, the lightning ray seemed to have eyes and hit the sword in the young scavenger's hand squarely.
With a crisp "crack" sound that resounded through the sky, the sword that was originally shining with cold light broke into two pieces on the spot, and the sword fragments flew everywhere and scattered all over the ground.
You know, Master Sendy is a magician with extremely high attainments in aerial combat, and the accuracy of his spells is naturally needless to say.
What's more, what he unleashed was a divine-level lightning ray. Under such a terrifying attack force, let alone ordinary weapons, even the strongest weapons would not be able to escape damage.
Faced with this sudden change, the young scavenger was completely stunned. He never expected that the sword he was so proud of would be shattered in an instant.
His body seemed to be cast under a spell, and he froze in place instantly, not daring to move. Because he knew very well that just this move by the other party was enough to prove that he was no match for him.
At this moment, if you still want to play dumb and get away with it, you will undoubtedly be courting death.
At the same time, Kashin, who was standing nearby, was also stunned by this thrilling scene.
However, unlike the young scavenger, Kashin is a true knight after all, with the courage and determination not to succumb to difficulties.
Seeing that the situation had fallen into a desperate situation, Kashin gritted his teeth and made an extremely dangerous decision without hesitation - jumping off the bridge! He hoped that this way he could get rid of the enemy's pursuit and seek a glimmer of hope.
Unfortunately, everything happened so quickly that even Kashin's companions didn't have time to react and stop him.
Just like that, Kashin's figure fell straight down the bridge like a kite with its string cut, under the astonished gaze of the crowd...
This person is as fast as a ghost, and it is hard to guard against him...
