Chapter 147: Dagon Land! Gray Area

North of Changyuan, on the shores of Lake Baikal.

A group of figures in black robes were flying over the frozen lake. The leader was a handsome man with a tall and slender figure, looking like a respectable gentleman. He held a silver pocket watch that didn't tick in his hand, and his expression was calm and composed. Just standing there made people feel reliable.

"team leader."

A slender figure came running from not far away. After sliding on the thick ice for dozens of meters, it landed steadily in front of the handsome man. Her voice was slightly hoarse and she said, "No trace of the dragon was found!"

"Has it flown somewhere else?"

Benjamin Tillion narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and said softly, "It shouldn't fly far."

"After entering our world, it was seriously injured. The most likely possibility is that it is hiding nearby to recover from its injuries."

"Call back the other team members."

"Don't spread out too much. There are signs of Old Families activity nearby."

Benjamin's strength has improved a lot. He is now the captain of this hunting team. His daily task is to hunt down the evil monsters near Changyuan. In order to seek the opportunity to embark on the road of destiny, Benjamin took the initiative to apply for the most dangerous missions, and even followed the butcher to go deep into the underground world to hunt down the Pillar of Flesh and Blood.

After digesting the extraordinary relics of the Pillar of Flesh and Blood, Benjamin has now been promoted to a high level. The biggest problem that currently plagues his promotion is how to obtain the realm of [Trickery].

Go back to one day ago.

After Amon opened the law of the gate and connected the space to other universes, an unexpected spatial turbulence caused the portal pointing to the Abyss to resonate with other crystal wall universes. Then, Benjamin's team of hunters saw countless meteors streaking across the sky on their way back to Changyuan. In the shining light of the meteors, they saw the figure of a giant dragon.

It was not one of the subspecies of flying dragons in the weird kingdom, but a real dragon with shining golden scales. As it flew across the sky, its open wings seemed to have been torn apart by some monster.

"A golden dragon!"

This discovery instantly alarmed other people in Changyuan, and Benjamin's team was immediately tasked to search for the trace of the golden dragon.

Half a day passed quickly.

Benjamin and his team had already gone deep into the snow-covered mountains. They encountered an ice spider with more than ten compound eyes. After forcibly passing through the area where the Old Ones were active, a high-level ranger in the team suddenly squatted down, observed the traces on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "There are traces of human activities here."

Benjamin gestured to the others around him, and the entire team immediately began to disperse, while he himself quietly approached the canyon ahead.

He saw a torn-up creature that looked like a saw-tooth spider. It was a strange creature from the star realm. At the end of his sight, an elegant and huge creature was crawling on the ground, gasping for breath, with golden scales shining in the light. The blood flowing from its abdomen and dragon wings was turbid, as if a boil had burst open and released a foul-smelling thick juice.

What surprised Benjamin was that there was a humanoid creature next to the golden dragon. The creature had a pair of pointed ears and was looking at him vigilantly.

"friend."

Benjamin raised his hands, activated the magic item, and blessed the ability to understand languages. He took the initiative to say, "We are here to help you."

The elf not far away stared at him for a moment, then let go of his hostility and asked, "Human?"

Benjamin nodded slightly and said, "Human."

"In the words of you people from other worlds, we are the natives of this world."

"Where are you from?"

The elegant and beautiful elf in front of him hesitated for a moment, soothed the suffering dragon beside him with his hand, and said slowly: "Klein Tianyu."

Hearing the other party's words, Benjamin's pupils shrank and he asked in surprise: "Dragon Spear Nation?"

"Are you a high elf?"

——High elf.

In the remote Klein Universe, the High Elves are the elves and their close relatives who have survived from the mythological era.

The people of the Weird Kingdom were not completely ignorant of the outside world. After all, souls from other worlds had been reincarnated here for a long time. However, this time, the visitors from other worlds were no longer reincarnated souls, but entered here directly through the torn space cracks.

Klein Tianyu is a country where dragons are very active, and it is also known as the legendary Dragon Kingdom.

However, the magical power of that crystal wall is not very strong. The biggest feature of the magic there is - weak!

Many people believe that Klein Sky's magical power is the weakest among all the alien worlds. It is not only far behind the powerful magical worlds such as Toril (the world where the "Forgotten Realms" is located) and Athas (the world where the "Cataclysmic Sun" is located), but even Oss (the world where the "Grey Eagle" is located), which is not known for its magical power, is much stronger than it.

This weakness in magical power may be related to the gods of Klein's Sky. One view in the Forgotten Realms is that the gods of Klein's Sky will "exile" overly powerful mages to the plane of Faerun.

But there are many dragons there. After all, it is a country called Dragonlance. The dragons there are numerous and active, and they often appear in major historical events.

Benjamin looked at the injured golden dragon in the distance with curiosity. This was the first time he had seen a real dragon. He whispered, "It's dangerous here."

"I suggest you leave with me first. It will be much safer behind the high walls."

"Besides, its injuries need treatment, otherwise they will get worse quickly."

"After dark."

"Evil things from the spirit world will enter the material plane."

The high elf seemed to be trying to determine whether he was lying. After hesitating for a moment, she said softly, "But my partner is seriously injured and can't fly for the time being."

Benjamin thought about it for a moment, then looked up and said, "Maybe I can heal its injuries."

——Damage transfer.

Under the extremely surprised gaze of the high elf, Benjamin slowly placed his palm on the back of the golden dragon. Then the injuries on the golden dragon began to shift. Benjamin's face turned extremely pale, and a horrifying wound appeared on his abdomen.

Human vitality cannot compare with that of a dragon, so Benjamin can only help the golden dragon share some of the damage.

However, his actions undoubtedly gained the trust and favor of this high elf. After recovering from some of his injuries, the golden dragon on the ground also stood up with difficulty.

At present, the indigenous people of the weird country mainly rely on the souls of other worlds to understand the outside world. In the nearly one thousand years of history, they have collected a lot of information about other crystal wall systems. The known crystal wall systems include the Kingdom Sky, Klein Sky, Gray Dome Sky, Savage Sky, Earth Sky, Star Cluster Sky, Maelstrom Sky, Disaster Day Sky, Hero Sky, Dark Sky, Togri World, Grom Sky, Sanctuary World, Seraphic Kingdom, Witch Light World, Wilderness, etc.

Unfortunately, a lot of information was lost during the Dark Age. The indigenous demigods only know more about a few celestial bodies, mainly those around the Kingdom Celestial Body, and the others are only recorded in name.

Before returning, Benjamin transferred his own injuries to an attacking aberration.

The high elf's pupils shrank when he saw this strange ability.

Under the Legend of Destiny, Benjamin's strength is unique.

He had almost perfectly digested the power of the Pillar of Flesh and Blood, and his control over his own flesh and blood had reached the pinnacle, yet he was still able to suppress the contamination of his own flesh and blood.

If it were in another world, someone like him, with his strong will, kindness, humility, honesty and reliability, could definitely become an excellent paladin.

All gods will fight for him, but such a person will probably end up believing in justice itself rather than a specific god.

………………

In a gray fog.

Sean returned to the real world again, but this time he was not in the Kingdom of Dorne, but arrived at the legendary turbulent lawless area - Dagon.

Dagon is Dagon.

As soon as he returned to the real world, he sensed a hint of ominous aura. It was like a gray fog and smog. It was not born from the real world, nor was it caused by industrial pollution. Instead, it entered the real world from the cracks in the spiritual world.

"The door to the spirit world is open?"

Xiao En's expression was solemn. In the dim light of his spiritual vision, he saw a ghost flash by in the haze. It seemed that it was just born not long ago and must have been dead no more than seven days ago.

—Wraith (CR 4).

This should be a dead extraordinary person. Ordinary people's ghosts would not have such strong abilities. It wandered in the gray haze, surrounding Xiao En's figure, ready to move. This time, the transmission was a little bit off. After all, there was no clear transmission mark. Xiao En landed in a wilderness, which looked a bit like a mass grave nearby.

This signpost was left to him by Eamon.

As mortals learn more about the other side of the weird kingdom, the barrier protecting the real world becomes more and more fragile. Creatures from the spiritual world begin to appear in the real world. At the same time, the souls of mortals after death are more likely to become ghosts.

If you believe it, there will be nothing.

This is very idealistic. After ordinary people have experienced strange supernatural events, their inner cognition will begin to waver. Once they recognize a little truth about the world in their blindness and ignorance, they may touch the real world. Amon tore apart the disguise of the real world. When ordinary people recognize the existence of supernatural powers, more supernatural events began to occur frequently.

There is no doubt that the impact on Dagon's side is greater, because vengeful spirits have emerged in the wilderness.

"This means that ordinary people have heard of, seen, or even experienced strange and extraordinary events, which is why ghosts linger around."

The protective barrier of the real country is becoming increasingly fragile.

If everyone believes in the existence of ghosts, then a large number of ghosts will definitely appear in the real world, and the breath of the spiritual world will directly awaken the souls of the dead.

hiss!
A shrill scream was heard, and the wandering ghost could no longer bear it and tried to attack Sean, wanting to invade his body.

——A thorn in the soul.

Xiao En raised his hand expressionlessly, and like a burst of gray fireworks, the vengeful spirit instantly turned into ashes.

Wisps of soul power surged into his body.

Xiao En clearly felt that the supernatural essence in his body was digested a little bit. Different from the way he digested the supernatural essence in the past, after obtaining the talent of the Son of Slaughter, he could kill the enemy and seize the opponent's soul power, and then use it to speed up the digestion of the supernatural essence.

Simply put, this is killing monsters to level up, and the embodiment of the law of killing and death.

This power is extremely overbearing!
There is still too little time left for Xiao En. It happens that the demigods in the weird kingdom are very undignified beings. They often bully the weak and it is common for them to harm the younger generations who are on the same path.

To use the description of the Eastern immortals in the previous life, demigods are all quasi-immortal-level beings. They don't care about being decent or not. The extraordinary people here all have some magic attributes. As long as you have something useful to them, even if you are just a small person who has just established your foundation, they will disregard decency and secretly plot against you.

This is why Aamon does not trust Lady Hecate. Those old bones are even more ruthless than him and want to seize more domain laws.

Moreover, nearly a thousand years have passed since the end of the Dark Age, and mankind has not produced many legendary figures of destiny. God knows how many potential prodigies have been secretly calculated by them and turned into nutrients for their own promotion.

They will not allow anyone else to threaten their position. After all, in the end, there can only be one true God of the Path of Death.

Not everyone is Lord Death and can tolerate others. The weaker a person is, the more afraid they are of being replaced.

On the contrary, those who are truly ruthless and strong will be excited about having successors to challenge them.

A demigod who wields a sword at the weak is nothing special. Xiao En is currently just suppressed by his realm. As long as he is promoted to the legendary destiny, he will have no fear and even dare to kill gods.

In the past, Eamon took care of him, but now he has to rely on himself.

After all, Lady Hecate is not Eamon. Eamon is a madman who has no scruples and no one dares to mess with him, but Lady Hecate is still a little bit short of it.

This should be a mass grave.

Xiao En gently raised his hand, and a gray soul crystal fell into his palm. His expression was quite solemn, and he murmured: "Have soul stones started to drop in the real world as well?"

This is not a good thing.

Because this means that part of the laws of the real world have been assimilated by the spiritual world.

Xiao En walked along the rugged path. When he passed by a tomb, he heard a tearing and gnawing sound. He turned around and saw a pair of creepy dark yellow eyeballs in the gray fog.

Ghoul.

Are all the demon hunters in Dagon region dead?
There are obvious signs of human activity nearby, but no one is clearing out the monsters in the wilderness, which means that Dagon's demon hunter system has basically been paralyzed.

"Once you leave Dorne, everything gets worse than the last."

Xiao En waved his hand lightly, and arcane missiles cut through the air, directly blowing the head of the ghoul not far away. He raised his palm and turned it slightly, and the soil in front of him automatically closed, burying the corpse that had been eaten beyond recognition.

Twilight Town.

The name of this town awakened Sean's memories. It was near the mass grave, a small town with a population of only tens of thousands.

Xiao En was allowed to enter after paying a five-seth entrance fee. If he wasn't someone who was not easy to mess with, the guards would have probably extorted him. Unlike the prosperous Dorne City, this was just an ordinary modern town. The tallest building in the town was a five-story church. The main road was a muddy road. The houses on both sides were very low, mostly two stories high. There were few shops along the way, and almost no pedestrians. It looked very desolate and dilapidated.

It was now around nine o'clock in the morning. When Sean came in, he saw a doctor wearing a crow mask dragging several body bags onto a carriage at the corner of the street.

After the heavy smog incident, many ordinary people were infected with diseases, and this place was probably also affected. Occasionally, one could hear the painful groans of patients.

"Has the Demon Hunter given up here?"

Xiao En frowned and thought to himself, "Or is it that the demon hunter tradition in the Dagon region is no longer effective?"

Not far away, next to the carriage carrying the corpse, a middle-aged man with a beard handed a purse to the man next to him, then leaned close to his ear and whispered in a low voice: "If there are more corpses like this in the future, contact me."

"3 dinars per body."

The strangely dressed man smiled greedily and said, "We'll have to raise the price next time. If we sell it directly to those people in Dorne, they'll be willing to pay 5 dinars."

Reselling corpses.

A hint of coldness appeared in Xiao En's eyes. After the carriage carrying the corpse left, he went straight into the house opposite.

"Who?" The man in the room was very alert. He opened the drawer and took out a pistol, and asked vigilantly, "Who are you?"

——Dominate mankind.

Xiao En's will instantly invaded his brain and controlled his mind.

Things are not complicated.

The black market in Dorne has been secretly in need of a large number of corpses. Reselling a complete corpse can get a reward of 5 dinars. However, because there are people in Dorne who are suppressing it, some people have set their sights on the turbulent Dagon region. These corpses are probably supplied to the undead wizards who study necromancy. In the past, all this was done secretly, but the recent smog incident killed many people, and some corpses were brought out to the open for trading.

If you want to bury the body in a town's cemetery, you will have to pay a considerable amount of money, which many ordinary people cannot afford. If you bury the body directly outside the town, the body may be dug out and eaten by zombies.

I will never feel at peace no matter how I die.

So some unscrupulous corpse collectors came into being.

These corpses will most likely be secretly sent to the necromancer's laboratory to create flesh golems and skeleton guards, as well as experimental materials for necromancy. The real country has always provided a steady source of corpses for the Path of Death.

Because of the huge profits, there are even body snatchers in the Dagon area who specialize in digging up other people's graves.

This is a felony in Dorne.

But in Dagon, no one cares about these things, or the higher-ups know about it but no one asks, because they are also part of the interest chain, and the guardian family here has long been corrupted.

Human smuggling and trafficking, forcing women of good families into prostitution, organ trading, and body recycling are all done to completely squeeze out the last bit of value in ordinary people.

Dagon’s gray industrial chain is huge.

"As long as the Demon Hunter's heritage is not completely rotten, I can still find a way to save it."

"If the demon hunters are also rotten, then we can only purge them!"

Massacre.

A chilling murderous intent flashed in Xiao En's eyes.

The chaos and turmoil in Dagon provided fertile ground for too much darkness to grow. Without the protection of order, ordinary people would be at the mercy of others.

………………

at the same time.

Somewhere in the weird kingdom, a divine weapon from another world also entered here.

It's called - pale justice.

The holy knight who holds it is suffering the backlash of the crazy and distorted laws because the world's laws are different.
