Broad World

The temple area is located in the north of the Askatla River, and mainly enshrines the three gods, Heim, the god of guardianship, Talos, the lord of storms, and Lathander, the lord of the dawn. The southeast corner is the headquarters of the Knights of the Fierce Heart. An elite force of paladins and priests is stationed here all year round. Once evil creatures are found, they will be dispatched and wiped out. It is said that the vampires in the recent period have attracted their attention, and they are actively investigating the truth behind the scenes.

Walking on the streets of the Temple District, Henry found that many blind men were spreading a cult called "Blind Eyes". They require believers to dig out their false "evil eyes" and then go to worship the new god together. Both the God of Guardian and the Lord of Dawn have sent many priests to debate with the blind men, hoping that ordinary people will not be deceived by the cult. As for Talos, the master of the storm, he simply ignored these things. He only needs mortals to remain in awe, and he doesn't need things like beliefs at all.

After hearing the teachings of "Blind Eye", Shandier asked Henry in a low voice: "Master, this is obviously a cult, and behind the scenes there must be demons, devils and other guys. Why didn't the temple directly dispatch paladins to encircle and suppress it? You must know that the longer the delay, the more believers the other party will have."

Henry glanced at the messy crowd and sighed slightly. "Because the law of Amn stipulates that any god has the right to preach here. Without evidence, the temple that uses force first will be expelled. Moreover, Heim, the god of protection, and Lathander, the lord of the dawn, are gods who advocate order, and their believers will not easily violate the law."

Hina pushed away the blind man who wanted to come up to preach in disgust and asked in a low voice: "Is it possible to just watch the cult expand like this? I really don't know what these people think, they would gouge out their eyes voluntarily."

Henry smiled and patted Dragon Girl on the shoulder and sighed: "This is the power of faith. It can make people pious. It can also make people crazy. Let's go. These have nothing to do with us for the time being. When the temple starts to recruit adventurers to investigate."

The three of them walked across the street to the door of a luxurious white building. Sandyer glanced at the faint energy fluctuations at the entrance and frowned. "Damn it. Who the hell lives here, and even placed a magic seal on the gate."

"A group of bounty hunters with good skills. Of course, they occasionally do some work such as catching slaves or mercenaries." Henry explained in a low voice while checking the seal on the gate. He knew very well the virtues of the team inside, so there was no pressure to kill them.

"But it's not good to just break in like this. What if the other party calls the patrolling guards? We might be arrested." Hina asked hesitantly.

Sandy smiled and put her arms around Dragon Girl's neck from behind, leaning into her ear and whispering, "Don't worry, my little cutie. These people must have done a lot of illegal things. They dare not appear in the sight of the guards at all. Think about it, would a normal person put a magic seal on the gate of their house?"

Hina nodded thoughtfully, and then calmly got rid of the sorceress' entanglement. After a few minutes of detection, Henry quickly found a way to crack it. He first released a "breaking magic" at the gate, and then used "dispelling magic" to open the protection of the lock.

"Okay, now let's send these villains to the God of Death." Henry blessed himself with the "Iron Skin Technique" and pushed open the door forcefully.

As soon as they entered the hall, the door behind them suddenly closed automatically with a "bang". A portal appeared out of thin air at the top of the stairs, and an old mage who looked to be in his sixties appeared on the spot with a woman wrapped in a cloak. The mage glanced at Henry and his party with sharp eyes. Then he sighed and said to the woman, "Look at these damn intruders, Keita. I really should check all the seals and traps on the door. They must have weakened to allow these dubious guys to come in."

The woman called Keita drew out her dagger and licked it with her tongue, then let out a burst of laughter. "Hahahaha! That seems to be the case, Theon. I suggest you use "Ice Storm" as a trap next time, so that all intruders will die before they enter the door."

"No! No! No! I think Finger of Death would be better. You must know that those bastard masked mages have been monitoring the magic of this city, and if there is too much movement, they will attract their attention." There was a smug expression on the mage's face as he spoke.

While playing with the dagger in his hand, Keita pointed to the three people standing there. "You'd better think about how to deal with these little mice, the boss is still upstairs waiting for a reply."

"How to deal with it? Of course it is captured and sold as a slave! That blond-haired woman is quite to my taste, maybe I can play with it for a few weeks first." As he spoke, Xion swept Hina back and forth with malicious eyes.

The corner of Keita's mouth turned up slightly, and he quickly drew out another dagger. "It just so happens that I also have feelings for that handsome guy. It's settled like this, the woman belongs to you, and the man belongs to me. What are you waiting for, do it!"

"As you wish!" Xion bowed slightly, and immediately crushed the rune stone in his hand. Then within a few seconds, he blessed himself with seven or eight protective magics.

I saw several portals appeared in the room, followed by monsters walking out of them. Among them were fire elves, ogre berserkers, and even a translucent spirit-absorbing mist, and finally came out a monster with the head of a dog and arms of snakes. Its body exudes a chaotic and evil aura, and it seems to come from the lower plane.

"Damn, a Grebez demon. These guys dare to summon in the city, aren't they afraid of being hunted down by the masked mage and the temple?" Henry cursed in a low voice, and then winked at the two companions.

Sandyer understood, and immediately threw the ninth-level magic "Spell Bash" that she had secretly prepared to the enemy mage. The powerful magic energy instantly stripped away the magic defense on Xion's body, and the moment the "protection against evil" disappeared, the Grebez demon laughed wildly, turned around and launched a surprise attack on the summoner.

The chaotic and evil guy waved his thick arms, and pulled Xion to the ground in one fell swoop, then jumped up and bit off an arm. Henry activated the "Spell Sequencing" without hesitation, and the "Skull Trap" fired three bursts. The powerful magic explosion blew up the unprotected mage to pieces, and the Grebez demon was also covered in blood and flesh, and couldn't even stand up.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Keita immediately drank a bottle of invisibility potion and disappeared in place. But unfortunately, the wishful thinking was wrong. Shandier had seen the figure of the assassin through the magic mask a long time ago, she showed a cruel smile, and then cast an eighth-level magic "Soul Cage".

The crackling energy quickly surrounded Keita's soul, and it took less than three seconds to strip it from the body, dragging it into another antimatter plane. After the body lost its soul, Ordinary fell to the ground with a bang, and the effect of the magic potion disappeared automatically. This magic will last for 20 minutes. If the opponent can survive the torture, there is still a chance to come back alive.

But obviously, Henry would never give the enemy such an opportunity. He directly pulled out Daken's Seth knife from his waist, and a cold light flashed, and Keita's head was separated from his neck.

Xina has already transformed into a three-meter-tall half-dragon, wielding a two-handed sword and fighting with creatures such as ogre berserkers and fire elves. With her excellent magic resistance and the protection of dragon scales, not only did she not suffer too much, but the monsters were forced to retreat steadily. Especially the fire elves, there is no way to cause damage to the red dragon scales with particularly high fire resistance.

Sandyer summoned a "Sword of Mordencan", cut off the demon's head and sent it back to the abyss. Henry cast several control spells and divine spells in a row, and cooperated with the dragon girl's swordsmanship to drive out the remaining monsters. The fight took less than five minutes from start to finish, and the two main enemies died before they could even call for help.

Pointing to the pieces of meat all over the floor, Henry said seriously to the sorceress: "See, this is the fate of summoning demons. Once the "protection against evil" on them is dispelled, these guys will immediately turn around and attack the summoner. So don't use the "Gate of Another World" when fighting the caster, otherwise the end will definitely be much more miserable than this."

Sandy nodded with lingering fear. I have to say that Xion's death is really aggrieved. Judging from the amount of protective magic just now, this is at least a strong magician of level 17 to 19. But he didn't even release a single attack magic, and was overturned to the ground by the demon he summoned.

"Don't worry, if I'm not in a desperate situation, I will never use the "Gate to Another World". These guys from the abyss are too dangerous, and if they are not careful, they will be backlashed."

Seeing that the sorceress had understood the horror of demons, Henry nodded in satisfaction. You must know that druids don't have the "anti-evil aura" group magic. Once a demon betrays the water, people in the team will definitely die. In particular, the guy summoned by the gate of the other world can also spell at the ninth level, and if he loses control, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"What should we do next? Are we going to fight all the way to the second floor?" Hina asked, shaking the blood on the sword. Through the conversation just now, she has fully understood the virtues of the people in the house. These scumbags are simply the scourge of society, and it is best to kill them all as soon as possible.

Henry looked up into Dragon Girl's eyes, then shook his head with a smile. "I don't plan to engage in a direct confrontation with them. After all, for a mage, using various tactics flexibly to make the enemy die unconsciously is the most brilliant method. Since I have already mentioned the example of wrongly summoning demons, now I will demonstrate the correct method for you." (To be continued..)
