Man in the old days, Lord of the Seven Sins

Chapter 117 The Omen of the Sunken City (4k)

"Xiuji, prepare to seal."

Rhodes drew out his long sword.

The black long sword turned into a medicine box pendant, spit out a black rune and landed in Rhodes' hand.

"Is there anything else you want to say?"

Rhodes stared at Dagon's Advent Body.

Its words were a bit strange just now, but at least Rhodes knew that these words might have something to do with the true identity of the Black Mist Demon.

So he wanted to try to get more information before sealing Dagon's Advent Body.

But Dagon's Advent Body did not respond any more.

It just looked at Rhodes quietly, as if it wanted to see more emotional changes on his face.

The other party's silence was already the clearest response.

Rhodes didn't wait any longer.

Prick your finger and start sealing.

Black runes descended around Dagon's Advent.

The six-pointed star rune composed of red and black lines gradually expanded and spread out, and finally turned into a cross black coffin, completely sealing Dagon's Advent Body inside.

The black coffin gradually shrank, and finally disappeared into nothingness.

Rhodes fell on the golden altar.

The burning sea of ​​fire continued to rise.

He frowned.

The situation in the underground cave is currently looking a little bad, and it is no longer suitable to stay here, but fortunately, everything that needs to be dealt with has been cleared up. The old man who ran away from the Dagon Church had to remind John to pay attention to himself afterwards.

All that was left was to get that group of survivors out.

I don't know where Marshall and the others are at this time.

Marshall led the soldiers of the combat department, and they were standing on top of a cliff at the moment.

They looked at the burning water in the underground cave below, and almost everyone had a scene of disbelief on their faces.

They could not understand why fire could burn on water.

"Section Chief, we seem to be late."

Someone in the communicator looked at the burning sea of ​​flames, the golden stone pillars in the sea of ​​flames, and the golden altar at the front and said.

"No, the battle seems to be still going on, look there!"

Someone suddenly exclaimed, and the crowd also noticed that above the sea of ​​flames, near the golden altar, a black cross made of a huge black coffin suddenly appeared.

Under the gaze of everyone, the black cross gradually shrunk and finally disappeared.

"Section Chief, what should we do?"

Marshall's one eye narrowed.

He looked at the familiar black coffin that he could no longer be familiar with, and his memory seemed to return to the days when he followed Chief Robert to the devil's lair to sweep it.

I really didn't expect that Chief Robert would hand over that rune to Rhodes.

"The battle is over."

Marshall's voice rang through the communicator.

"Our support is one step slower!"

Listening to Section Chief Marshall's final decision, everyone's voices froze.

They originally wanted to wash away the shame of the last night attack, but they didn't expect that they didn't even win the battle this time.

It can't be said that they didn't catch it, but the big demon that suddenly appeared was not something they could defeat, and they even sacrificed an important comrade-in-arms.

"Captain, can we go after it!?"

Someone suddenly said.

The rest of the people's breathing was also a little rough at this moment.

They are not afraid of death, what they are afraid of is not being able to avenge their comrades in arms.

If you miss this opportunity, maybe you will have to wait longer if you want to meet that big devil next time.

"No, now is not the time for you to show off, we have more important things to do."

Marshall slapped the console with one hand.

After dealing with the matter of this operation, he will take the group of youngsters back to training, waiting for the arrival of a bigger crisis.

The deep sea above the sky, before leaving the Authority.

He has already received the news that Director Joseph was invited to attend the meeting at Westminster Palace. At the same time, he also went to the Director of the Supervision Bureau. Join this meeting.

This shows the seriousness of the problem.

It is very likely that the news brought back by the Zeppelin airship is not limited to what he has learned.

"Chief Marshall, someone is here."

On a passage leading to the cliff, a group of people were coming towards him.

The mechanical guards are ready for battle.

"Chief Marshall, you are late."

Led by Rhodes, he led Old Jack and a group of rescued people to join Marshall and others smoothly.

Everyone left the underground cave in a mechanical guard.

And the group of people who obeyed the rules finally kept the fighting in the cave in their hearts under John's inquiry.

Of course, they didn't actually see any battle scenes, they just concealed the fact that Rhodes could control the two demons. During this period, Old Jack tried to find the miraculous figure of the goddess.

He wanted to thank each other face to face.

But what he learned from John, the captain of the operation, was that he left after sending them back safely.

April 1588, 4 in the old calendar, overcast.

A thin layer of mist hangs over the dark sky.

The repaired Zeppelin is in the air again.

This time, it carried a group of elites from various fields led by the Ingeville Empire Council and flew towards the deep sea in the sky.

It is worth mentioning that Joseph, the director of the Administration, and Seth, the councilor, also participated in this exploration.

Authority gate.

John sat on the bench and told Rhodes the news.

"Lord Rhodes, there are actions related to the "Apocalypse", I think it's time to start.

Director Joseph and Congressman Seth are both participating in this deep-sea exploration, and this is our chance. "

John said solemnly that after a day of rest, his condition has recovered quite well.

He felt that this opportunity was rare, and he could go to the other party's house to search while the other party was away.

Rhodes narrowed his eyes, looked at John, lost in thought.

After returning home the day before yesterday, he slept until the afternoon, and then went to the slaughterhouse to make sure that everyone in the slaughterhouse had prepared food and weapons.

During the period, Old Moore came to him once, and as a legendary witness, he asked about his experience in the cave.

Rhodes didn't know what the old man was going to do, but thinking that the other party had lost his son, he didn't have anything to think about, so he simply omitted some things that shouldn't be said, and told him all the rest.

Old Moore left excitedly.

At night, Rhodes tried to have an in-depth communication with the black mist demon.

But the other party only left Rhodes with a pink octopus head rune and refused to communicate.

Rhodes carefully studied the pink octopus head rune, and found that it didn't yield any useful information except that it looked like a hairpin used by women. He planned to leave it for later to explore slowly.

This morning, he received a call from Margaret asking him to meet at the gate of the administration.

Rhodes came over early, but unexpectedly met John first.

The two also had the above-mentioned conversation.

"Are you sure you want to break into Mr. Circe's house and search for him when he's not at home?"

Rhodes felt that John's idea was a bit unsafe.

"Lord Rhodes, in fact, the matter of "Apocalypse" is related to a very important item, and last night, I received a notice from the Imperial College that there was a theft in their library, an important book collection Disappeared."

John had a serious look on his face.

Rhodes narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice: "You mean, the book that disappeared is the important item about "Apocalypse"?"

"Yes, Lord Rhodes, what is missing is a book called "The Revelation of Glaakia", which contains many important information about the Church of Glaakia, as well as a large number of spells, including the summoning of the Great Demon spell."

John has a big head.

In old London, where so many major events had never happened in the past, why have catastrophic events happened one after another recently?

"I see. What you mean is that you suspect that Congressman Seth or his subordinates stole the "Glaki Apocalypse" and put it in Senator Seth's home?"

"It's possible."

"But if it was really stolen, why didn't Mr. Seth take the book with him? Even he has already boarded the Zeppelin airship heading for the deep sea. Going to his house to search may alarm the other party, or even There will be no results.

And the connection between the painting "Apocalypse" and the book "Glaaki Apocalypse" is not particularly deep.

Although "Apocalypse" is inspired by "Glaaki Apocalypse", to fully connect the two together requires a logical link. "

Rhodes' words made John fall into deep thought.

He was really narrow-minded when he thought about the problem before.

"Are you discussing the theft of the Apocalypse of Glaaki?"

Margaret walked by.

Today, she is wearing a black waistcoat with a big ponytail, and she looks energetic.

When she came over, she happened to overhear the conversation between the two.

"Yes, Miss Margaret."

John stood up and saluted respectfully.

Rhodes nodded.

"If there is something about this matter, I can give you a message."

Margaret rummaged through the small bag she was carrying, took out a piece of paper, and handed it to Rhodes.

Rhodes opened the paper, looked at a design draft on the paper that looked like a hollow underwear that could be seen but not written in the previous life, and suddenly rolled his eyes.

He handed the paper back to Margaret.

Margaret blushed as she looked at the clothes she had designed on the paper.

"Sorry, I got it wrong."

She hurriedly rolled up the paper in her hand and stuffed it into the bottom layer of her small bag, then turned out another piece of paper that was the same as that one, took a peek at herself, confirmed that the content on the paper was correct, and then handed it to the Rhodes.

John stood aside, looking blankly at the two who were making eye contact, and suddenly felt that there seemed to be something between them.

Especially the way the princess of the Golden Lion family looked at Lord Rhodes was very similar to the way her rich girlfriend looked at her.

John felt as if he had discovered a secret.

However, this secret needs to be kept in the bottom of my heart forever, unless these two people choose to make it public, otherwise he doesn't have the guts to speak out.

The more Rhode looked at the content on the paper, his eyes gradually narrowed.

He did not expect that the Dagon Church would have such a deep relationship with the Glaaki Church.

Moreover, the person who stole the book last night was actually the former high priest of the Dagon Church who left the summoning ceremony before the summoning ceremony, that is, the one Aesop believed to be Nyarlathotep.

Even the ability shown by the other party made Rhodes have to doubt the strength of the other party, which can be compared to the Great Demon.

In other words, according to Margaret's various performances of the other party described on the paper, as well as Aesop's previous description, Rhodes has truly confirmed the other party's identity.

A great demon walking in old London.

With his current strength, it seems that he does not have much confidence in winning against him.

However, the opponent's purpose does not seem to be to subdue everything by force.

According to Robert's notes about Naia's character and some of the things the other party has done.

Rhodes could not help guessing that what the other party wanted to do was to muddy the waters of Old London and make the chaos more thorough.

Things still have room to maneuver.

Since the opponent wants to muddy the water, it is better to try to make the pool of water more muddy before the opponent makes a move.

Think here.

Rhodes leaned over and whispered something in John's ear.

John's eyes gradually widened.

He was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses.

"Master Rhodes, are you sure you want to do this?"

"Well, according to the character of the other party, if we muddy the water in advance, he will have no reason to continue to intervene. Instead, he will probably hide somewhere, quietly savoring this wonderful chaos for him. "

"Yes, I understand, I decided to give it a try!"

"Before Chief Joseph left, he granted me the right to temporarily dispatch the various departments of the Administration, and I will arrange an action plan now."

John seemed a little excited when he thought that his actions had the great possibility of stopping the plan of a great demon.

After all, in the past, he never imagined that he could save a city from the big devil.

John left with Rhodes' instructions.

Rhodes returned the paper to Margaret.

Margaret didn't ask Rhodes' plan too much, and her temporary thoughts were all on the deep sea.

This time when Rhodes came out, he also wanted to tell Rhodes what he experienced in his dream.

But, let's talk.

Margaret hesitated for a moment.

After all, the self in the dream was married to Rhodes.

After thinking briefly, Margaret decided to hide the wedding in her dream, and she was going to pick the important ones.

"Rhode, I have something very important to tell you."

Margaret looked solemn.

"Ok!"

Seeing that Margaret was so serious, Rhodes naturally restrained his other thoughts, and decided to listen to Margaret.

Margaret looked left and right, saw that no one was looking at her side, and suddenly sat beside Rhodes, with her half body almost touching Rhodes.

She whispered in Rhode's ear.

Feeling the softness of his body, Rhodes originally had other thoughts, but as Margaret's narration became heavier.

His expression also gradually became serious, and finally his entire brows were knit together.

"I will try to inform my grandpa about this matter, please don't tell others."

"Well! I'll go back to school and continue exercising!"

Margaret got up to leave. She glanced at the deep sea that was getting closer and closer above the sky, and felt that time was running out.

Watching Margaret leave.

Rhodes suddenly fell into deep thought

The harbinger of the sunken city.

Will it really be like the dream experienced by Margaret, where the deep sea above the sky completely waters the whole old London?
