Chapter 1086 Twenty-four. Maiden Grace Church

  The stars climbed up the hollow, shedding starlight, and the camp residents sank into sweet dreams.

  Only the Princess Roland courtyard and the two churches in the camp are shining brightly.

   There are also wooden houses on the island in the heart of the lake, which are sanitized by the tranquil Onyx Lake.

  The businessman Anthony arrives two hours before midnight, with good news and bad news—or both.

   The "good news" is that the merchants have discovered the truth about the loss of Midnight City, and the bad news is that the news comes from the Church of Maiden Grace and not the survivors of Midnight City - they are still missing.

   "Night City was destroyed by the swamp."

  The businessman Anthony repeated the answer he got. If Lu Li wants specific information, the Maiden Grace Church hopes to talk to Lu Li in the form of a letter.

   This church may be unfamiliar to Lu Li, but he has come into contact with several of their nuns - strange vitality and tone, maverick, and kindness that is rarely seen in the old sewers.

   When Lu Li went to the deep-seated auction house at Midnight City Terminal to retrieve the eyes of the God of the Deep Sea, they gave Lu Li an invitation letter.

   "Mother of the Swamp."

   Lu Li's call was not answered, so the businessman Anthony contacted the Swamp Mother and informed the situation, hoping that the Swamp Mother would help deal with the hidden dangers, pollution or curses that may come with the letter.

  The Swamp Mother readily agreed, and Lu Li’s letter of agreement and inquiring about the details arrived at the Maiden Grace Church with the merchant Anthony, and their replies would be sent to the Swamp Mother, who would purify them and bring them to Lu Li.

   After ten minutes, the merchant Anthony came to the wooden house with the first parchment.

   "He said the epistles were clean."

  Lu Li nodded lightly and unfolded the parchment:

  【It's us, remember? Didn't you forget? We see it know you need help, wondering about late night city? We can tell you

   seems unwilling to find hidden dangers, the mother of the swamp intimately underlined "we can tell you" to indicate a grammatical error.

  【The swamp swollen to the point where it swallowed the night city in one bite, we all heard the hiccups, what time are you asking, right? In December, when you just passed by in The Sinking City, we all read it]

  The truth thus emerges: the expanding swamp devours the city of Night that adjoins it.

   But the swamp will swallow the city of Midnight with the Midnight Lady and the Four Gods...?

   and why the old sewer next to it was okay.

  【Have you seen Xingyun? A star as big as a grain of rice fell, and it became as big as a fist, as big as a head, as big as Omar, as big as a cloud, as big as the sky, and then a star as big as a grain of rice destroyed a world, and the most The powerful gods did not run out. We're fine because the swamp likes the top and doesn't like the bottom, and there's nothing at the bottom except the bad guys]

   The second parchment tells the end and the end of the late night city.

  Standing in the Underdark, the city that accumulated the last strength of mankind, quietly disappeared into the swamp and swallowed it.

   "Did no survivors escape?"

   [No, but some humans who were outside at that time were cursed by a terrible bloodline. The bad guys here are unwilling to touch them. Do you want to find them? Need our help? 】

  Lu Li wrote down a letter of rejection, paused for a while, the paper was rounded up and thrown into the fireplace, and a short flame ignited.

   His three contacts with the Sisters of Maiden Grace Church were all friendly, maybe they could become new allies?

   "Need, if there is any trace of them, use your eyeballs to summon Merchant Anthony."

  Lu Li put a few eyeballs in a wooden box and sent them along with the letter paper by the merchant Anthony, while asking them what they needed.

  It is best for allies to take what they need from each other, and they cannot form a stable and harmonious relationship by simply seeking.

  It took a long time to reply this time. When Lu Li thought it would come and disappear tomorrow, the merchant Anthony came back with a new parchment and a well-made oak box.

  【We know how to use it, children always like to dig out the eyes of bad guys and play the game of summoning businessmen, they keep listening to your stories. What is needed... can you load us with some sunshine? Children like it very much. If you want to know what the sun is like, just put it in a box.]

  The Swamp Mother's note is written below: Strange little thing, is that the manufacture of Night City or the old sewers? I'll be with you tomorrow morning at breakfast time to see how it holds the sun.

  Lu Li opened the well-made oak box, it seemed that it was really just a box made of oak, but Lu Li smelled a familiar smell-studying alchemy with Chris, the vice-president, and identifying the types of alchemy items had similar mixed smells.

  Closed the oak box and placed it on the desk. Lu Li sat in front of the desk and looked at the star-reflected Onyx Lake, thinking quietly.

  The truth corresponds to some of Lu Li's experiences in the fantasy realm of the late night city.

   For example, the land dweller business hunts the guardians of the land, maybe they are really doing it, and it is successful... This leads to the uncontrolled expansion of the swamp eventually swallowing the night city.

   For example, swamps like the surface. And from there, the ultimate conspiracy of the parchment calling itself Will Ken is to convince Lu Li to put the lithograph in the spire—perhaps that wasn't "activation"...

  The businessman Anthony suddenly appeared in the wooden house and interrupted Lu Li's thoughts.

   It brought another parchment letter, urged by the nun.

  【Have you installed it yet? The kids are waiting

   Lu Li replied: "It's night now, and the sun will only appear during the day."

  【Okay】

   After waiting for a while, no more letters came, Lu Li gathered the parchments to prevent accidentally throwing them into the fireplace to burn.

   The flames ignited, the scorched smell of leather wafted from the fireplace, and the parchment turned to ashes.

   "Is there any trade between the merchant and the **** town around Midnight City?" Lu Li asked the merchant Anthony, who had not yet left.

"No."

The towns of the gods are exclusive, they have unique rules, and most of the time, the attention to the exorcists is not as good as the old sewers - this does not mean that it is difficult for the merchants to reach the towns of the gods, because they are more or less the same as the old sewers, especially the inhabitants Business related.

  Lu Li gave the businessman Anthony a task: bring the ghost town into the trade.

   There are also his promises and allies.

   In addition, Lu Li thought that even the existence of the old sewers knew the story of "The Sunken Land", so the news of the survivors of the spirit town and the late night city of the old sewers would not be more blocked than them.

   They should already know about "Land of Addiction" and everything that the soul of the late night city arranged for Lu Li.

   This means that Lu Li doesn't have to actively look for them anymore, because they will actively find Lu Li - if they don't show up for a long time, either they are forced to hide or something happens to them.

   For example, the "Blood Curse" said by the nuns of the Maiden Grace Church.

   After finishing his thoughts, the lord of the Land of Light fell asleep in his wooden house.
