The gate of Youhe looks just like usual if it is not closed. Below it, a secret door was opened, and the two figures fell one after another on the suspension bridge of the river, moving forward against the spray of the water below.


    Walking in the back, wearing gray robes, hoods in the wind can not stop shaking, but is not lifted, as if there is an invisible force to stop this happening.


    The people who walk in front have gray hair. Judging from the color of their hair, it is already old age. His face is also true, the gullied face and the hand holding the drawbridge silently tell the vicissitudes he has experienced.


    The one who walked in the back was cheese, while the one in the front was Jung. In fact, the mage was also surprised when he saw the change of the latter. The vampire can adjust his appearance details, such as hair color and pupil color. This is not strange news.


    The real anecdote is that, out of their aversion to death, the blood clan often does not let their appearance appear old-fashioned. Aging means dilapidated, which will arouse the palpitation of the passing away. But Jung did this, he did not shy away from his appearance into an old man in his twilight years, and in action also showed a posture consistent with his appearance. Although that''s mostly because he''s walking on top of the water.


    One of the real bloodthirsty ancestors of the river can''t be killed by the real bloodthirsty people in the river. Therefore, being thrown into the sea is a cruel torture in the blood clan than exposed to the sun, because it means eternal darkness and loneliness and cold.


    However, for the sake of recovering the blood of the true ancestor, there are few blood families who have been subjected to this kind of torture throughout the history of the twelve blood lineages. In the whole blood clan law, such punishment has never been regarded as the result of sentencing, because even the author himself is afraid of it.


    Fear, is a subtle thing, it is a bit like wine, the first taste is very strong, will choke cough, drink the right will vomit, will lose consciousness. There are always people who swear never to drink again, and then when night comes, they fill their glasses again. So was fear. The water splashed on his skin. The cold water reminded Jung of wet soil, which would fill his nose, his lungs and his whole body. It was a feeling of death.


    But since he made this cableway as a spare passage, it was not used to commit suicide. He knew that although the water here reminded him of death, it could not really bring him back to the ground.


    So fear fermented into a more subtle emotion, became the most powerful stimulant, walking behind the cheese can not see Jung''s smile now how distorted. The twisted smile didn''t disappear until they reached the end of the drawbridge and climbed a ladder.


    When they climbed up to the floor, the mage found that it should be a slave dealer''s storehouse. A large number of cages covered with cloth curtains were piled up here. Some were empty, some were making unknown sounds. Both blood clan and grey robe have the ability to see things in the dark, so they can easily walk through the cages in the dark without tripping over.


    "It used to belong to a slave merchant who profited by selling civilians from other areas. I thought his business had a bad impact on the city, so I took over his business and the site. You see, it is one thing to turn prisoners of war into slaves and debtors, and another is to plunder civilians at will. The former is part of business, while the latter is destroying the order of identity. If everyone could be made slaves, who would try to get close to it? To develop, respect is necessary. " Jung explained in a low voice, and it was clear that he attached great importance to the concept of respect.


    "The city''s respect has left it devastated. Too many dark corners are enough to breed too much rot. Along the way, I have never heard of the existence of three kinds of evil gods in any city at the same time, let alone the evil gods related to water flow. When the power of these guys becomes huge, there will be no development, and the arrival of a fanatical sacrifice is enough to destroy everything. " Cheese eyebrows slightly wrinkled, blood group frivolous words let him feel very dissatisfied.


    For people who have lived in grey tower and Cang lion for most of their time, self-discipline is necessary, and so is the moral ethics developed from self-discipline. If the so-called respect means the destruction and contempt of moral ethics, it is not a matter of respect, it is just an excuse to exercise madness under the guise of respect.


    "That''s why I chose to walk with you. Galloping is a vigorous tree, its branches sometimes grow too thick, which requires people like you and me to trim it. As for the fact that there are too many heretics here, I would like to tell you a subtle reality. When there was only one or two cult gods in the city, people had to open every cave to hunt them like rats. But when the heretics here proliferate like rabbits, they form an effective check and balance among themselves. The sacrifice you mentioned is not that no one has prepared it. But guess who destroyed the sacrifice in the end? It''s not me. It''s not the big man in this city. It''s other heretics. They will not tolerate someone who has brought something to believe in earlier than themselves. " There was something bitter in Jung''s voice.


    For a man who has a deep hatred for evil gods, what he said just now is light. In fact, no one knows better than him that he can maintain his security only by relying on the mutual checks and balances of evil believers.He longed to get rid of these damned things from the city, from the world, but suffered from the limitations of his ability. And this is the reason why he chose to act together with cheese. Jung saw hope in the ability shown in the grey robe, a hope to break the current deadlock.


    Cheese is not stupid, he has also been vaguely aware of the contradiction between the words of blood clan.


    "Maybe you are right. It''s just that these guys are hidden dangers after all. Containment only works when their strength is equal. If someone breaks the balance of power between them, then it will not be solved by a check and balance. And before that, I hope you can tell me what we''re aiming for this time. I have dealt with many evil gods. Frog walker is not among them. I don''t know much about him and his followers. "


    Jung nodded. He had come here with cheese for this purpose. He confirmed his position, reached out and pulled away a thick cloth to reveal the cage and its contents. "Frog walker, like his name, is like the frog of our world. But it''s just similar in appearance, or people can''t describe it with known knowledge, so they can only name it with the most similar image. His followers generally move around the river and engage in all kinds of shameful business in order to earn money and power, gain status among the believers, and achieve the great transformation they call


    The things in the cage are weird and disgusting. It''s a mummy. It seems that the cause of death should be dying of hunger and thirst in the cage. The limbs of the corpse are delicate. Even if there are no muscles, we can see from the structure of bones and skin that the back end of the limbs, that is, the forearm and lower leg, is abnormally developed, while the front end is degenerated and atrophied.


    Similarly, the two holes, which take up almost half of the head, look terrible. If they are eyes, they will not scare people when they are alive. The skin of the corpse was like rubber that had lost its elasticity and was crumpled into a mass and disgusting. Generally speaking, it looks like a frog with human size and some human like characteristics. However, if you observe it carefully, the frog like features of this thing are actually similar to those of frogs, and their functions and structures are different in essence.


    "This is a guy who was interrupted at the conversion ceremony. It''s so transformational that it''s almost successful. However, the attack of another group of heretics failed the ceremony. Thanks to this, I can get this precious collection. To get to the point, the transformed individuals are called amphibians, capable of living on land and in water, and spend most of their time in the water. Amphibians are the top echelons of the church. The believers who maintain human appearance are only peripheral members. Only a few missionaries have not transformed in order to develop their believers. It is very difficult to identify the status of those priests. So if you want to get information quickly, catching an amphibian is the easiest way. "
