Man in the old days, Lord of the Seven Sins

Chapter 123 Pollutant (4k)

"Huh!"

On both sides of the corridor, candles on two rows of candlesticks inlaid on the pale rock wall suddenly lit up.

Orange-yellow flames illuminated the otherwise dark corridor.

A large amount of sticky black liquid permeated the walls on both sides, and a strange roar came from the darkness at the corner ahead.

Rhodes narrowed his eyes and looked at the stone tablet at the entrance.

On the stele, some history of the Wiasfu family is recorded, and the past of the Wiasfu family is engraved on it.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The sound of heavy objects moving came from the darkness.

A sticky and twisted figure was projected onto the wall in front of it.

Around the corner, Rhodes saw the ugly monster on the corridor.

A large number of black meat pieces spread out of the sticky black tentacles, piled together like a mountain of meat, and when they move, they will set off a large number of virtual circle-like waves. On the black meat pieces, a large number of nearly human-shaped limbs are twisted and inserted obliquely above .

Looking closely, one can vaguely see the rag-like clothes on the monster's body that represent the castle servants.

Several reddish-brown bones protrude and break on the monster's back.

Rhodes frowned.

After encountering some kind of mutation, human beings undergo abnormal evolution and become demons who lose their minds, commonly known as pollutants.

Facing the ugly polluted body nearly 3 meters high that rushed towards him in front of him.

Rhodes holds up the M500
Fire several shots in a row.

Bang bang bang!
The violent bullets wrapped in a large amount of black mist instantly tore a large number of wounds on the polluted body.

"Xiuji, sword!"

Rhodes held a black long sword, his body flickered, and he rushed forward.

Confronted with a mass of dark brown mucus splattered from the wounds of the tainted body.

Rhodes jumped up, jumped onto the wall on one side, and ran towards the location of the polluted body in front of the narrow corridor.

The moment the distance was close, Rhodes jumped high, and the long sword in his hand pierced the front cavity of the polluted body from top to bottom.

puff!

The polluted body let out a roar, waved its invisible twisted body and knocked over the candlestick on the wall beside it.

The flame burned the black mucus overflowing from its body, instantly forming a deflagration state.

Rhodes drew out the long sword, stepped on the surface of the polluted body with one foot, and stepped back.

Rhodes narrowed his eyes, looked at the polluted body that fell in the flames, and looked at the mirror hanging in the corridor to one side.

The ugly and nasty black cat face was looking at him quietly.

It had a narrow expression on its face.

"Welcome to my paradise. I'm very glad that you can be my No. 19 guest. If you can pass the level, you will get the treasure left by Sir Wisf."

boom!
Gunshots sounded.

The mirror was instantly shattered.

Screams sounded.

"damn it!!!"

"squeak"

A gray mouse fell to the ground, its body twitching.

There are no other items where the original mirror was.

Is it an illusion created by using some special ability?
Rhodes glanced at the gray-haired mouse on the ground, puzzled in his heart, put away the M500, turned his head to look at the polluted body with burning ashes on the ground, and suddenly narrowed his eyes.

A silver light shone through the ashes.

Rhodes squatted down.

Sweeping away the ashes, picked up the shiny thing.

what is this?
Like a metal mold of a key?

Rhodes was puzzled, but he had a certain guess in his heart. He put away the mold and walked towards the main building ahead.

In front of the main building gate.

Two rock-carved gargoyle puppets crouched on either side of the door.

A dark rune was spinning on the gate of the main building, and the black flowing magic power was overflowing around the rune.

In the center of the rune is a keyhole.

Rhodes rolled his eyes, this is the first time he encountered such a style full of wickedness.

He raised his sleeves, ready to use his strength to forcibly break open the gate of the main building.

But in the next second, an ominous breath suddenly came from the gargoyle puppets on both sides.

The dark rune connected to the gargoyle puppet suddenly flickered as if sensing danger at this moment.

At the same moment, the four red pupils of the gargoyle suddenly glowed scarlet.

"Master, Xiuji has seen this rune before in the clan, and it is exclusive to the Black Pharaoh."

Xiuji suddenly told Rhodes the information he knew through his consciousness.

"Black Pharaoh?"

Rhodes was puzzled, but the term sounded familiar.

"It's one of Nyarlathotep's avatars, and also a great demon."

"Among the deeds about Nyarlathotep described by Brother Aesop, the black pharaoh is the most common and often summoned great demon in the human world. The existence that appeared in the Dagon church ceremony this time is very It may be the black pharaoh who was summoned!"

Xiuji's soft voice sounded in his consciousness.

Rhodes narrowed his eyes.

He suddenly had the urge to crush Sir Wiasf into ashes.

Originally, he had consumed a lot of energy to face the upcoming Sinking City incident, and now he summoned that fun demon Nyarlathotep for no apparent reason.

Is this because he thinks the troubles he has encountered are not enough?
"So, you mean not to force the door?"

"Yes, master, a forcible attack will revive the two gargoyles, and even make Nyarlathotep, who has turned into a black pharaoh, sense the existence of the master. Maybe the other party will be attracted by the master."

Xiuji gave his own suggestion.

Rhodes thought for a moment and decided to take Xiuji's suggestion.

The strength of the big devil is not something that he can deal with alone.

"Then, the only thing that can be done now is to collect the tools for making keys."

"If you can't enter the main building, you can only go to the blacksmith workshop to look for it first."

Rhodes took out the map of Sir Wysf's castle that he got from Paul's house from his arms, observed it carefully, and decided to start with the blacksmith workshop near the main building.

After all, keys are generally made of metal, so you may gain something in the blacksmith workshop.

"Ding!"

"Boom!"

"boom!"

The sound of iron knocking came from the depths of the blacksmith workshop.

Rhodes looked at the various iron objects hanging on the wire around him, picked up a short knife, and turned it back and forth.

Ahead, a figure in black oilcloth appeared in Rhodes' sight.

It has a swollen balloon-like body, dark brown skin, and a strange iron bump on its head, and the hammer in its hand is vigorously hitting the metal square held by the iron clip.

From time to time, a burst of flames spewed out from the blazing stove beside it.

Under the almost humanoid body, the parts that were originally human feet have been replaced by a large number of black tentacles.

This is also a polluting body.

Rhodes casually threw the dagger in his hand at the opponent.

Under the action of a force far exceeding the limit speed of human beings, the dagger stabbed smoothly into the opponent's heart.

But the body of this polluting body was not affected in any way, and it was even carefully beating the iron in its hand.

"Hey big man, can I have you get a key for me?"

Seeing no response from the other party, Rhodes tried to communicate with the other party.

But the polluted body just looked up at Rhodes, and then focused on making ironware again.

Rhodes pulled out the M500.

The roaring black mist demon crawled at Rhodes' feet.

At this moment, the other party finally responded.

It put down the hammer in its hand, grabbed a large metal knife on the iron frame that looked like a door panel, and walked slowly towards Rhodes step by step.

Rhodes put away the M500.

Pacing towards each other.

"Xiuji, gauntlets."

The black gauntlet is attached to Rhodes' right hand.

The opponent dragged the long knife on the door panel and swung it towards Rhodes.

Rhodes held the long knife with one hand, pulled it hard, and forcibly pulled the opponent's body towards him.

At the same time, he clenched his fist with his left hand and slammed it hard on the handle of the short knife stuck in the opponent's heart.

The dagger didn't score another three points.

The polluted body wailed and let out an unwilling roar.

But it was obviously weaker than Rhodes, and it could only watch as its weapon was taken away by Rhodes, and at the same time, Rhodes tied its body to the door machete with hemp rope.

Holding the iron clip in his hand, Rhodes glanced at the iron-brained pollutant that was tightly bound and wriggling on the ground like a caterpillar, took a deep breath and put a small pot of molten iron that was clipped on the iron clip. Pour into the key mold on the side.

Although it is the first time to make a metal key, Rhodes' technique is still very malleable.

the same moment.

Somewhere in a dark cellar.

Looking at Rhodes in the mirror who was trying to make a metal key, Sir Wisf froze suddenly.

"Damn it! Who the hell told him he could make keys!?"

"Oh! Mice! Why did you come out again!!! Didn't you tell you not to run around? Isn't it good to stay inside the wall?"

"Ah! I'm going crazy, can't this human being get rid of that iron bump and get real metal artifacts from its body? Obviously the key can only be pieced together, why!!! Oh! He actually took the metal The mold is stuck!!! WHAT DO I DO!!!?"

Rhode looked at the molten iron pouring out of the metal mold, and was stunned for a moment.

Wait, isn't that how this thing works?
"Hey!"

A large amount of water vapor rises from the water tank.

Rhodes frowned looking at the iron cooled by the molten iron around the metal mold.

Obviously, from this step to this moment, he confirmed that it was completely wrong.

He reached out to take the metal mold in his hand, squeezed the iron, and tested its hardness on the outside.

"Oh! Damn it, what is this human being doing!? Is he going to use human strength to get rid of those irons?"

There was a frenzied roar in the cellar.

Rhodes narrowed his eyes, his physique far surpassing that of a human being 4 times allowed him to easily tear off the iron that had just stuck to the metal mold.

"Oh! Impossible to succeed! Find a way to give him a new model. How the hell did he do it!? Is this really human power?"

There was only a murmur left in the frantic voice.

Rhodes casually threw the iron block aside and looked at the metal mold in his hand.

Obviously, the key used to open the rune door of the main building was not made through this direct production method.

The molten iron is directly repelled out of the mold.

At this time, there was a sound of burning flames in Rhodes' ears.

Only then did he notice that the iron lump polluted body that had been thrown not far from him had been forcibly ignited by two gray-haired rats with flames all over their bodies.

Rhodes did not stop all this.

He originally thought that if a blacksmith was needed to make keys, he would try to win over whether the other party could help him, but after the experiment, it has been confirmed that ordinary manufacturing is useless.

This proves that blacksmiths are useless, so the polluter is useless as well.

"Ding!"

After the pollution body was scorched, a metal object fell to the ground.

Some are like the front end of a key.

Rhodes narrowed his eyes and embedded the object into the key mold.

completely embedded in the head.

The key to the Runegate was pieced together by taking metal objects from the body of the tainted body.

So these two mice obviously touched the porcelain on purpose and burned it.

Its purpose is to let me know that metal objects exist in the body of the polluted body.

And these mice
Rhodes thought of Sir Wiasf.

Why does it deliberately lead me?
This is a question worth pondering, what purpose does it serve?
Rhodes looked at a mirror beside him.

From the very beginning, he discovered the existence of the mirror, but he never broke it.

"Do you have any purpose?"

Rhodes asked straight to the point.

He didn't think it was a big deal, some things might be resolved through communication.

"Oh! Those goddamn rats, they're here again!!! Help me! I need your help!!!"

"They are always lingering in my ears, never giving me any peace, even when I am sleeping, they still appear in my dreams."

"In my dreams, I always meet that ugly, strange thing that looks like a mouse head. Damn it, it's all caused by them!!! I need your help, save me!!!"

"Oh!! Here they come again, I have to go!!!"

brief exchange.

Rhodes narrowed his eyes, and Sir Wisf's words obviously could not be fully believed, but there were still some signs revealed in some aspects.

Those damn rats.

Maybe it's its final damn rats that affect it all.

But this may or may not have been a conspiracy created by the secret society where Sir Wisf belonged.

The development of events seems to be moving in a more bizarre direction.

Rhodes is ready to face this problem.

Of course, the first thing he had to do was to enter the main building.

Rhodes took out the map. The area closest to the blacksmith shop was the barn. He was going to try his luck in the barn.

"Squeaky!!!"

The strange cries of mice were heard in the dark barn.

When Rhodes pushed open the barn door, the dim yellow light from the kerosene lamp in his hand instantly illuminated the silent darkness.

A huge mouse is frantically gnawing on the grain in the barn.

Of course, when the other party turned around, Rhodes had a disgusted expression on his face.

The human body has been completely assimilated by the mouse. The twisted body is attached to the mouse's body, curled up, and the mouse's tail pierces the human abdomen, forming an ugly creature.

In the swollen abdominal cavity, under the translucent body, one by one young mice could be vaguely seen being pregnant.

This is a polluting body that is about to give birth.

"Squeaky!!"

Amidst the shrill cry, countless pairs of scarlet pupils suddenly lit up in the dark shadows.

A large number of weird rats ran towards Rhodes at the door from the inside of the barn.

"Xiuji, sword!"

Rhodes held the sword in one hand, and swung the black long sword in his hand at an extremely fast speed.

With each swing, a rat that was about to tear at his body was cut in two.

Death may be simple, but facing death is still quite a heroic thing.

When the rat-contaminated body fused with part of the human body faced Rhodes, it wailed unwillingly.

Rhodes frowned, and pierced the opponent's head with a sword.
