The next day, Mr. Ghosn asked Shang Ke if he would like to go to the imperial capital with them, and he could live with Kaxiu and make plans later.
Naturally, Shang Ke couldn't ask for it. If he wanted to seal the Devil's Tree, he had to rely on Kaxiu.
The people of Turan Continent didn't know how to seal the Devil's Tree at this time. They must gather at least seven or more positive energy beliefs, and then rely on the action of the law spar to seal the Devil's Tree. The stronger the power of belief and the more types, the greater the success rate of the seal.
Although the law spar is precious, it is not a rare thing. The real problem lies in how to get through the magic barrier and get close to the Devil's Tree.
This is a hell journey that tests will and faith, and it is impossible for those who are not determined to make the journey. Once there is a flaw in the mind, it will be bewitched by the Devil's Tree, lose itself, and even turn to attack its companions.
According to the original development in the future, a group of warriors, mainly Kaxiu, also experienced two failures and sacrificed hundreds of people before finally successfully reaching the center of the swamp abyss. With the strength of seven people, they barely sealed the Devil's Tree.
There were more than 200 warriors who participated in the last mission. After the seal was completed, only five survived. One-third of them died at the hands of suddenly demonized companions, which is really deplorable.
This kind of "prophet" is Shang Ke's only advantage at present. He not only knows how to seal the Devil's Tree one step ahead of others, but also knows who the other six warriors who sealed the Devil's Tree with Kaxiu in the end.
After the camp was pulled out, Shang Ke, Kaxiu and others went to Watch City together. This city is located on the edge of the swamp abyss, surrounded by demonic energy all the year round. Most of the people who come and go here are travelers and experienced mercenaries. Ordinary people don't dare to step in.
As soon as he walked into the city, Shang Ke felt a surge of demonic energy in his body. As far as the eye can see, there are free demons everywhere. This kind of demonic energy generally does not actively invade the human body, and only when it generates negative emotions in the heart will it be pulled. The place where the population gathers is also the place where darkness derives.
There are many devil apostles hidden in this city, Shang Ke, as a king-level apostle, can easily sense the existence of every lower-level apostle. But not all those who have been invaded by demonic energy can be called "apostles".
There are generally three stages in the invasion of demonic energy.
In the early stage, the body invaders will subconsciously resist the demonic energy, which will then lead to a conflict of power. They will feel very painful and then become crazy. This kind of invading body will be discovered soon, and as long as it is treated in time, it can return to its original heart.
In the mid-term, most of the intruders are people with bad intentions or very weak people. They can easily succumb to the induction of demonic energy and become slaves of the Devil's Tree. A few of them with outstanding strength can become lower-level apostles. They can hide the demonic energy in their bodies, and they are usually the same as ordinary people, but as long as they encounter people with strong beliefs, they will find it difficult to control themselves and can't help but want to attack.
Complete invaders, also known as "King Apostles". They are faithful believers of the Devil's Tree, and can obtain great power from the Devil's Tree. Some of them hide among ordinary people, and some like to be alone. Some are murderous, and some are good at provoking people's hearts.
They have a strong deterrent effect on other lower-level apostles, and can easily find them out of the crowd. And if they didn't want to be discovered, the other lower apostles couldn't discover them.
After Shang Ke became Osari, although he still had the aura of a king-level apostle, he didn't have the strength of a king-level apostle. Because he no longer believes in the Devil's Tree, he naturally cannot obtain its power. Not only that, but Shang Ke had to rely on his own will to constantly suppress the demonic energy in his body. He is a complete invader, and the demonic energy in his body is deeply ingrained and cannot be removed. Over time, he will not only lose the breath of a king-level apostle, but also become weaker and weaker.
Shang Ke felt that he was probably the saddest villain in history, with the red name of the villain, but without the strength of the villain.
Before that, he must find a reason to blow up his favorability for his villain status.
Kaxiu walked into a hotel and settled down, which immediately attracted the attention of many people. Most of their eyes were focused on the two beauties, Vidora and Amy. Shang Ke was wearing a hood, but he didn't receive much attention.
He hugged Pupu and followed Kaxiu and a few people to choose a table to sit down, watching his nose and nose, and trying to reduce his sense of existence as much as possible. Because in this hotel, there are at least three or more lower-level apostles. Their eyes seemed to swept towards this side, and they stayed on Kaxiu and Pupu for the longest time, but they didn't find the deeply hidden big boss Shang Ke.
There was a hint of coldness in Kaxiu's eyes, but there was still a cynical smile on his face.
Pupu was completely absent, his little hands grabbed Shang Ke's sleeves and sat upright like him. Tired of sitting, he leaned his head against him.
"Shang Ke, I'll show you around after dinner later, and buy some clothes for Pupu by the way." You Yi suggested attentively.
Shang Ke looked at Pupu and said, "Pupu really needs to buy a few clothes, but I'm afraid I can only owe the money for the clothes first."
He was going to take out the gold coins in his pocket, but later he thought that he and Pupu were both "poor people abducted and sold by human traffickers", how could there be any money on them? Therefore, he should continue to eat free food for the time being.
"You'll be rich soon." You Yi smiled, "Those traffickers are all wanted criminals, we not only found a lot of coins from them, but also exchanged a bounty for their tattoos. , this bounty also has your share."
"I have that too?"
"Of course." You Yi replied while pouring water for him, "We didn't kill these people originally, and the people who killed them didn't scrape off their tattoos, indicating that the other party didn't intend to ask for this bounty, we It’s a bargain, and those who see it have a share.”
"Thank you." Shang Ke didn't expect that they were willing to share the bounty with him, so he couldn't help giving each of them a good person card in his heart.
After the meal, the soldiers split into two groups. Teacher Ghosn went to the guild with Dulu, Amy and Fred to collect the bounty, while Youyi, Kaxiu, and Vidora took Shang Ke and Pupu to the Buy clothes and replenish supplies by the way.
Shang Ke held Pupu's little hand and followed Kaxiu and the others along the street. You Yi enthusiastically introduced the customs and customs of Watch City to him, as if he had been here before.
Kaxiu was too lazy to expose him, just walked beside Shang Ke with a smile, helping him to separate the crowd unconsciously to avoid collision between him and Pupu. Vidora, the only girl among them, was ignored instead.
She was secretly annoyed, and stepped forward to grab Kaxiu's arm.
Kaxiu raised his eyebrows slightly, then quietly pulled his arm back. He knew that Vidora liked him, but he had no other thoughts about her.
Vidora bit her lip and looked at Kaxiu with an aggrieved face, only to find that Kaxiu didn't look at her at all, his eyes were falling on the young man who bent over and picked up Pupu.
Vidora frowned, feeling a sense of crisis in her heart.
At this moment, a commotion suddenly appeared not far away. A man was tied tightly with a rope, his expression was mad, his mouth roared, and his body kept twisting. A group of people carried him on a stretcher and quickly ran towards the Hall of Light on the other side.
"What happened?" Shang Ke asked.
"Someone was invaded by demonic energy." Kaxiu replied simply.
"Let's go and have a look." You Yi is someone who likes to join in the fun, pushes Shang Ke, and runs over there first.
Once the early invaders are found, they will be sent to the Hall of Light immediately. The exorcists in the Hall of Light are all healers or clerics who believe in "light". Their main responsibility is to dispel the demonic energy for the initial invaders.
However, the process of exorcism is very painful for demonic intruders, and the success rate of cure is only 65%. If the treatment fails, the clergy will feed them poison and let them pass away peacefully.
When Shang Ke and the others came to the Hall of Light, they only heard a shrill scream from inside. Under the treatment of several clerics, the bound man struggled in pain, his skin was red and his veins were exposed, and he looked terrifying.
Pupu rested his head on Shang Ke's neck and peeked at the situation over there with one eye, only curiosity, not fear.
Shang Ke was a man after all, so he didn't care about that.
At this time, the crowd behind him suddenly crowded, pushing him forward a bit.
An arm stretched out from behind, wrapped around his waist, and then heard Kaxiu whisper in his ear, "Be careful."
"Thank you." Shang Ke thanked him and took a few steps forward under the protection of Kaxiu.
The treatment lasted about ten minutes, but it still failed to remove the demonic energy from the man.
In the end, the clergyman in charge of the treatment could only give up regretfully, and ordered the waiter to prepare the poison.
"Please help him!" A woman jumped on the man and cried loudly, "Please help him treat him again, he will definitely recover."
The women's pleas did not win the mercy of the clergy, and such scenes have long been commonplace.
Those who were invaded by demonic energy represented their weak will or bad intentions, and most people would not sympathize with their experience.
Shang Ke could see the demonic energy on the man appearing and disappearing from time to time, and it could be seen that he was still trying his best to resist, just because it was too painful to expel him.
Shang Ke thought about it, and while the clergyman was entangled with the man's family, he approached the man a few steps, held Pupu with one hand, and put the other hand down quietly, using his own breath to remove the other's body. The magic energy is introduced into his body.
As the demonic energy was sucked away little by little, the man's painful expression gradually eased, and when the demonic energy was completely cleared, he regained his senses.
I was just trying it out, but I didn't expect it to be successful.
Although the absorption of demonic energy made Shang Ke's face pale, but his mood was extremely excited.
He finally figured out how to wash his "red name"!
That is to use your body as a container to help those who have been invaded by demonic energy return to normal.
With one's own will, suppress your demonic energy. Even if you are full of thorns, you have nothing to fear.
