Main Text Chapter 319 No Fairness
In the following time, Lydia began to coax and persuade Angel to find out the truth of the matter. But Angel was like a mute person and never said a word.
Just when Lydia couldn't help but want to attack Angel, a female voice suddenly came from Lydia's arms: "Lydia, you should stop. There is a reason not to tell you. If you really want to know, you join the Savage Cave and I will tell you in person."
The one who spoke was Mirror Ji.
Earlier in the Tree Spirit Hall, Sanders told others that his way of dealing with it was: let Angel go to Dusk.
As for why, he didn't say it. The tree spirit and the mirror girl looked at each other and didn't ask, but there was a hint of inquiry in their eyes when they looked at Angel.
It was late, and the tree spirit and the mirror girl were not convenient to leave the Savage Cave, so Lydia volunteered to send Angel to the Night Demon City. However, although only Lydia and Angel were on the road, the tree spirit's energy was so huge that there was no place to use it, so the tree spirit and the mirror girl could see the scenes on their side along the way.
"Well, since even Lady Jingji said so, let's forget it." Lydia snorted and stopped talking.
For a while, there was a long silence. Angel could only hear the sound of the red-backed flying lizard breaking through the clouds and the whistling of the cold wind in the sky.
An hour later, the red-backed flying lizard stopped.
Then, under Lydia's command, the red-backed flying lizard descended from a natural chasm similar to the abyss.
When it reached the bottom, Lydia pointed to the platform on the side of the cliff and said, "We're here. This is the closest road to the center of the earth. Wizards usually go here."
Lydia ordered the red-backed flying lizard to patrol outside, and led Angel into the cave deep in the platform.
This was the first time Angel walked this road. Following Lydia, he shuttled through the cave for less than five minutes and entered the center of the earth where the Night Demon City was located.
Now, they are still several miles away from the Night Demon City, surrounded by dense plants, but they can still see the Night Demon City buried in thick fog in the distance.
Through the flowing gray-white fog, the magnificent urban buildings can be vaguely seen.
"This fog is a bit strange, it is definitely not naturally generated." At some point, the half-fruit phantom of the tree spirit appeared beside the two of them, and walked with them to the Night Demon City.
"According to Tebiqiu, after the fog appeared, mutations occurred. Therefore, the parasite must be hiding in the fog." Lydia said.
"It's a pity that I can't go there in person, otherwise I can identify the substances contained in it." The tree spirit sighed.
While the tree spirit and Lydia were talking, Angel remained silent. The gray-white fog looked no different from ordinary fog, but Angel felt a sense of familiarity and intimacy.
If he hadn't guessed, these fogs might be the same as the clouds and fog that came out when he opened the channel between Nightmare Realm and Nightmare Realm.
Thinking of this, Angel felt a bit tricky.
It seems that the fall of Night Demon City and Dusk Well seems to be really related to the last time he opened the channel to Nightmare Realm without any care. Although Sanders did not say it clearly before, Angel felt a little uncomfortable at this time.
Things have been twists and turns. It seems that the current situation is caused by Twilight, but the source of everything is his impulse.
Angel felt a little guilty, guilty for the millions of people in Night Demon City and the innocent mortals in Twilight.
But it was only guilty. If he did not do that during the Twilight shooting, he would be the one who died on the spot.
He has a moral bottom line, which was cultivated by Jon since he was a child. But Jon also taught Angel another thing, that any self-rescue behavior in a crisis is instinctive. Not to mention, when Angel made that decision, he didn't know whether it would succeed or not, and he didn't know that it would cause these consequences.
Moral sense can certainly make human beings live better and make the world more peaceful, but moral sense is not human nature, and it is even a shackle to tame human instincts. In ancient times, moral sense was more of a means for the ruling class to maintain stability, although slowly, humans discovered the benefits of moral sense.
Angel was pleased that he had a sense of morality, but if the premise was to use his own life to fulfill the great love of moral sense, he would not do it, and even Jon, who taught Angel the three views, would not allow it.
After walking with Lydia for about ten minutes, they came to a farm outside the Night Demon City.
The farmland was growing very well, but the tenant who guarded the field was dead. It was not homicide, but suicide. The skinny old man, wearing a gray robe, was hung on the beam by a white silk, and there was a kicked chair under his feet.
"The time of death was recently, and judging from his clothes, he should not have been parasitized." Lydia also came in, saw the dead old man, stood aside and analyzed: "After all, this is outside the thick fog, and it is normal not to be parasitized. Obviously, he chose to die when he was in good health. Obviously, his psychological endurance is too poor. Mortals are mortals."
After speaking, Lydia motioned Angel to leave.
Angel was silent for a while, turned around and left.
Just as they were about to step into the thick fog, Angel suddenly heard a familiar bass cannon in his ear.
"Angel, come in alone." They had already entered the Night Demon City, and Sanders could use the "Distant Voice Technique" to directly locate and transmit the message: "As for Honglian, you wait outside the city, and don't step into the area covered by the thick fog."
"Why? I still have living family members inside, so I have to go in for rescue." Lydia said dissatisfied.
"You have not yet entered the path of true knowledge, and you cannot resist being parasitized. If you insist on entering, no one will stop you." Sanders' voice was cold and inhumane.
At this time, the phantom of Mirror Princess also jumped out and stood next to the tree spirit: "Lydia, Sanders is right. You have seen it yourself. Except for Deadwaya, one of the three major Twilight families has avoided being parasitized. Everyone else has been hit. If you go in, something will happen."
Lydia scratched her head irritably: "I came to Night Demon City not just to see him off, I signed a contract with the Maya clan. If they exterminate the clan, I will definitely suffer the backlash of the contract."
"Didn't you say that the little shadow servant next to Goode just now belongs to the Maya clan?" Jing Ji asked doubtfully, if the clan is annihilated, the backlash will occur. As long as the little shadow servant is alive, it is not considered genocide.
Lydia shook her head: "He is not included. He has the blood of the Mosha clan in his body. What the contract mentions is pure Maya blood."
When Lydia said this, everyone didn't know what to say. If you enter Daredevil City, you are likely to be parasitized; but if you do not enter Daredevil City, you are likely to be backlashed by the contract.
Although the backlash of the contract will not cause death, sometimes for wizards, death is not the worst choice.
Lydia suddenly asked: "Mr. Sanders, won't Angel be parasitized when he enters Daredevil City?"
Lidia's question also made Mirror Princess and Tree Spirit very curious. Although Sanders said that letting Angel come is the best way at present, Sanders did not say what the specific method was. Moreover, judging by Sanders' tone, Angell doesn't seem to be parasitized. Apart from being a wizard on the path of true knowledge, what qualifications does Angel have to avoid being parasitized? This is what they want to know too.
Even Angel himself wanted to know the answer.
After Lydia asked this question, there was a long silence in the air.
After a while, Sanders replied succinctly: "He won't."
What Lydia actually wanted to know more was why Angel was not parasitized, but since Sanders gave such a concise answer, he probably would not tell the real answer.
After thinking about it, Lydia turned to Angel and said, "I'll give you a task. Help me bring out the Maya clan, even if I only bring out one person."
Angel looked at Lydia, and then at the surrounding tree spirits and Mirror Princess. He swallowed the pain in his mouth to bear the pressure of an official wizard: "Then...what good can I do?"
Lydia's eyes narrowed with a dangerous light: "Dare you negotiate terms with me?... As expected of Sanders' disciple, you are the first person who dares to negotiate terms with me as a first-level apprentice."
Lydia unleashed her pressure wantonly, and the intense pressure made Angel almost want to kneel down. Jing Ji and the tree spirit on the side also had interesting expressions and had no intention of getting involved.
Angel bit his lip, and a trail of blood slipped from his lip.
"Okay, I agree." Lidya suddenly put away her pressure: "What benefits do you want?"
Angel was breathing heavily. When he said the "benefits", he originally wanted to take the opportunity to propose "handing the Eyeless Man to him" as a precondition, but he found that he had overestimated his status.
The premise for all this is that Jing Ji, the tree spirit or the mentor are willing to help him speak. But the situation just now explained everything. Even if there is a crisis in Night Demon City and his existence is urgently needed by everyone, no one still puts him in an equal position.
This is reality, the reality of those with low power.
"I hope...huhu..." Angel gasped in cold sweat, "I hope Lord Honglian can give me a chance...huh..."
When Lydia heard this, she almost slapped him in the face. How dare a young man covet her?
Even Mirror Princess and Tree Spirit looked at each other in surprise. Isn't Angel so brave? He actually dared to tease Lidya at this time?
"... Huh... I hope you can give me a chance to buy back the Eyeless Man." Angel finally finished his words with a breath of air.
Everyone: "..."
If Lydia hadn't felt a cold look on her back just now, she wouldn't have been able to help but kill Angel. After listening to Angel's words, her depressed mood relaxed slightly.
"The Eyeless Man? I understand... when you caused a series of troubles in Twilight Shooting, it was because of him, right?" Lydia thought for a moment: "Okay, as long as you bring out a living Maya Tribe, I will give you a fair chance to buy back the Eyeless Man. As for the price, 3 million magic crystals, as long as you give it to me, I will agree to sell the Eyeless Man to you intact."
3 million magic crystals, ten times the original auction price!
This condition is extremely harsh. Many official wizards cannot even get one percent of the 3 million magic crystals. However, Lydia offered Angel such a price.
At such a price that would embarrass everyone and even wizards, Angel nodded without hesitation: "Okay! I agree!"
