When the window was opened, the sea breeze was blowing, and there was a damp and salty smell. Jin sat on the window sill, humming a little song, his feet in leather boots dangling outside, stained with a layer of silvery white, milder than hoarfrost, warmer than light cool.

"This world is really quiet and peaceful, and I miss the past."

Looking back, she revealed blue and red eyes, which were extremely clear in the dim light.

Su Changxing also looked towards the seaside, and could vaguely see the light of the lighthouse. He shook his head and said, "This world is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface. After all, it is surrounded by white ice and phantom fog, and terrible disasters may occur at any time."

Shen Jinxuan sighed, showing regret: "That's a pity."

It's a pity that this peace will be broken, just like all good things will eventually wither.

Feeling the soft fragrance, Su Changxing leaned against the window, twisted the ponytail with blue hair in his hand, and said softly: "This is the common sense in the world, and it is indeed a pity... Has your hair grown longer again? ?”

"Ah, is there?" Jin shook his head, looking curiously, obviously he didn't notice this matter.

Su Changxing looked outside and said, "Let's go down for a stroll and take a look at this city, maybe we won't have the chance to come here in the future."

"Okay." After Jin finished speaking, he jumped off the edge of the window, startling the passers-by outside and stepping out of the way.

"What are you doing? You startled me!" A man who wrapped himself tightly was obviously frightened.

Jin made a grimace, and said viciously, "It's none of your business!"

The man's heart tightened, and suddenly he felt bad, turned his head grayly and ran away. He really had a bad feeling when facing Jin, as if there were ants crawling on his body, and he felt uncomfortable.

Su Changxing came out of the hotel, and when he saw this scene, he showed helplessness: "These people are ordinary people, it's not good if you scare them to death."

Jin Digu: "It's so fragile."

Su Changxing led him along the street towards the church. It was a strange feeling to visit his church by himself, as no **** would visit his church.

Jin saw the statue on the top of the church from a distance, then glanced sideways at Su Changxing, showing a thoughtful look: "That's you?"

Although it was completely different, she could recognize at a glance that the statue portrayed Su Changxing.

Su Changxing nodded: "Yes."

Jin was not surprised by this, but instead commented and said: "It doesn't look like it at all."

There were not many people in the church, except for a young female priest. When she saw Su Changxing and the two of them coming in, a smile appeared on her face. Although there is a church of the Church of All Beings in this city, there are still too few believers.

"Do you two want to join us?" The female priest stepped forward and asked with a smile on her face, her attitude was quite peaceful.

Su Changxing shook his head: "No, we just took a look."

The female priest said sincerely: "Being a believer of the Lord will receive the protection of the Lord, whether it is spiritually or physically."

Su Changxing nodded to show his understanding, and said with a smile, "Do you have many believers in this city?"

"The number is not large." The female priest said affirmatively: "The light of the Lord shines on this land, and there will be more and more believers."

Su Changxing looked at the statue, but felt something strange. Part of his faith flowed to him, but the other part didn't know where it went, as if it had disappeared into the void.

Someone is blatantly stealing faith? Still in such a remote location.

The female priest added: "Even if you are not a believer, you can pray to the idol to gain spiritual comfort."

Lord Jin looked at the female priest in surprise, "You want him to worship himself!"

"Huh?" The female priest froze for a moment, not understanding Jin's meaning.

Su Changxing patted Jin on the head: "Don't talk nonsense."

He didn't want to frighten the young priest. The gods should be high above and maintain a certain sense of mystery, instead of suddenly appearing in front of him or in the church.

The priest still didn't realize anything unusual, until after Su Changxing and the two left, he subconsciously looked back at the statue behind him, his eyes were wide open, as if he had realized something, he ran out of the church quickly, but Su Changxing was no longer in sight figure.

"Probably not, how could the Lord come to such a remote place." She muttered, persuading herself.

Su Changxing lit up the statue of the church with his faith, expanding the scope of the statue's influence, after which more believers should gradually emerge in the city.

What made him more concerned was that the guy who secretly stole the belief could use the belief, at least at the fourth level, the strength would not be weak, and it was likely to be some kind of non-human existence.

Su Changxing and the two walked around the downtown area of ​​the city, and there were quite a few people, which also showed that the city was in good order. There were many vendors selling exotic foreign things, such as bone armor, sea stones, and new products from Wodan. technology creation.

Ever since Eric became famous in the empire, the Wodan Empire has been leading the world's technological development, possessing technologies far ahead of other countries, including guns, ships, trams and even airships.

It's just that the wind at sea is too strong, and the airship still can't replace the status of the ship, and can only be used inland.

The rest of the surrounding area, especially the country next to the Wodan Empire, also changed, with steam-powered ships and factories.

For a century, the Vodan Empire was like a core that turned the whole world around.

The prosperity of the Wodan Empire is something that other countries can only look up to. Fortunately, Wodan has never had the intention of conquering outwards, and has kept the world relatively peaceful.

Walking to a street vendor with all kinds of miscellaneous things, Su Changxing saw an inconspicuous bone armor at a glance, only half the size of a palm, mixed with the sundries, and a small part was exposed. It was a real piece of bone armor. The bone runes inscribed with the rune patterns have magical powers, but they are only fragments.

Su Changxing also got a whole piece of bone rune before, and that thing is still in the pocket galaxy, but it doesn't play much role for him now, and the only role is to keep it as a souvenir.

Su Changxing looked at the stall owner who was wearing a mask and wrapped himself tightly, picked up the fragment of the bone rune, and asked:

"How much does this thing cost?"

The stall owner glanced at Su Changxing, and said without hesitation: "One hundred rams, no bargaining!"

Su Changxing smiled slightly: "Is it a bit more expensive? You are all worthless gadgets. If they are so expensive, no one will buy them."

One hundred rams is certainly not expensive for real bone runes, but for some fake ones, almost everyone believes that there will be no real ones, at least not here.

The stall owner continued: "How much I want to sell is my business, and whether you buy it or not is your business. If you say a hundred, it will be a hundred, and there is no bargaining."

Su Changxing felt that this person might know that this thing was a bone rune, and he didn't bother too much, took out the money and said:

"A hundred rams is a hundred rams, I want this thing."

The stall owner was surprised when he saw Su Changxing handing over one hundred Nam so decisively, and handed the bone rune to Su Changxing, then got up and bowed, and said in a low voice:

"Master, can you come into the house with me, I have something important to discuss."

Sure enough, this thing is used for fishing.

In **** other than Wodan, mages are also heretics, but they are not strictly controlled, and they exist secretly by default.

Su Changxing put away the bone rune in his hand, and said with a smile: "If you have anything to say, please speak here directly, and there is no need to hide it."

The stall owner was shocked. They kept such a low profile because they considered the illegal status of a mage, but they didn't expect that the other party didn't care about it at all.

It can be clearly felt that there are many eyes looking at this side.

The stall owner took two steps forward and said in a low voice: "I am selling this thing for our boss. There have been supernatural incidents in our factory recently, and many people have died. We need a mage to remove the spirits, but we want to find one. It is very difficult to be a real mage, so I thought of this way."

black

supernatural event?

Su Changxing showed a hint of interest. It is not easy for supernatural events to happen in this world. Extraordinary power is suppressed. If you want to make some noise, your strength will not be low.

"It happens to be fine, let's go and have a look."

The stall owner also didn't expect Su Changxing to be so easy to persuade, and he was ready to promise generous conditions, so he said quickly:

"Our boss said that as long as Master Mage can help complete the removal of spirits, he can pay a big price."

Shen Jinxuan asked seriously: "How much?"

The stall owner pondered for a while and said: "Our boss said that as long as the despirit is completed, we can pay three thousand Rams. Of course, if the mage wants to place a property here, it is also possible."

Su Changxing didn't care much about this, and urged: "Let's go, first go and see what's going on, and where your factory is."

The stall owner took off his mask, revealing a young face with rough and dark skin: "My name is Hierro, and the factory is by the sea."

"Since a few weeks ago, people in the factory have died due to various reasons, and the factory has been completely shut down. All equipment has been shut down, but some people still heard the sound of an engine coming from inside at night."

Speaking of this, Hierro couldn't help showing fear.

Su Changxing asked, "Are there still people in the factory?"

Hierro shook his head: "No, it was blocked a few weeks ago and no one is allowed to enter, but there are still some disappearances around, I don't know if it is related to the factory."

Su Changxing nodded: "Didn't you find other mages before?"

Ye Luo sighed: "It's so easy to find, my lord, you are the first mage we found. Our place is too remote, and probably no mage is willing to come."

Su Changxing said again: "Isn't there a church of the Sect of All Beings here? Have you looked for them?"

Hierro nodded: "Of course I did. At the beginning, our boss found the priest of the church, but he didn't find anything after he came, saying that everything here is normal."

"But we all know that there must be something wrong in the factory, otherwise so many people would not have died."

Along the path of dense bushes, they came all the way to the vicinity of the factory. The walls outside the factory were covered with moss, as if they had been abandoned for a long time.

Shen Jinxuan looked at the scene and said, "This factory has existed for a long time, and the walls are covered with moss and ivy."

Hierro smiled wryly: "No, it has been built for less than a year, and this is also one of the supernatural events in the factory."

"It looks like an abandoned factory that has been placed for a long time. In fact, it has only been established recently. Our boss has lost a lot of money because of this. This is also a small thing. The main reason is that people continue to die because of this. It caused a lot of panic."

It is not an ordinary person who can open a factory in a city, at least he must be an aristocrat, and he must have enough money to support him.

Su Changxing was also able to guess who the boss behind Hierro was, Earl Mel, who was powerful in this country and controlled a navy.

It shouldn't be difficult for such a person to find a mage to remove their spirits, and it won't take so long.

Su Changxing thought that a sorcerer had already seen it before he came, and there might be some accident.

There are special guards at the gate of the factory, and no one is allowed to enter. They are equipped with the highest standard weapons, long-barreled muskets and machetes.

Among them, the man with short brown hair saw Hierro and knew him, and asked, "Who are these two?"

Ye Luo waved his hand and said calmly, "They are mages who came to exorcise spirits, open the door."

The gatekeeper had a strange look on his face, and without saying anything, he took out the key and opened the iron lock on the gate.

With the sound of chains colliding, the door was slowly opened.

Immediately afterwards.

The sound of engine rotation and steam injection came from inside, as if the whole factory was still running, but it was pitch black and there were no people.

Su Changxing's perception covered the entire factory, but he didn't notice anything, as if this was an ordinary, abandoned factory.

At the same time, the voices that can be heard are obviously abnormal.

Ye Luo showed a nervous look on his face, and his steps slowed down, and he followed behind Su Changxing, "Master, take a look at what that thing is? Where is it?"

Su Changxing looked around, and said relaxedly, "Didn't you say that someone died before? How did they all die?"

Hierro's expression became more tense, and he hesitated and said, "No... I don't know."

As soon as I walked into the inner room of the factory, I saw several corpses hanging on the roof, with black blood dripping down, and the whole room was filled with the smell of blood.

bewildered...

Jin put her hands on her chest, looked at Ye Luo and said, "There are so many corpses here, why don't you clean them up?"

The words are not finished yet.

Ye Luo turned around and strode outside, his breathing became short of breath: "My lord, it's inside, it's inside."

He was only halfway running when he was shot through by Jin and fell to the ground, "Why are you running? Did you do something wrong?"

Ye Luo showed a terrified expression, as if seeing a ghost: "No! No!"

Su Changxing carefully observed the environment in the factory. There were a few corpses that were relatively fresh. They seemed to have died not long ago, but their flesh and blood were withered.

These people were probably so-called mages~lightnovelpub.net~ or players before their lives.

Immediately afterwards, he saw an illusory, multicolored shadow shooting down at him from directly above, circling the wind and waves with a whistling sound.

Su Changxing caught the illusory shadow with one hand, and smelled a foul smell, it was a pile of rotting flesh and blood that had been ravaged together.

bang~

He pulled out his gun and blew it up. He saw the phantom shrink back to the depths of the factory, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"what?"

Su Changxing frowned, realizing that this thing might not be simple, thinking of the limbs of the gods he saw in Merun back then, they were also similar things, between the real and the false, and ordinary methods couldn't deal with them at all.

Jin raised Ye Luo with one hand and asked, "Why did you lie to us? These people were all killed because you tricked them in?"

Hierro's face was full of panic: "No, no, the boss asked me to do this, and I can't help it."
