Chapter 1611 Long-lost monthly timepiece
In 1887, smoke that soared into the sky was everywhere due to the burning of coal. The industrial changes brought about by the industrial revolution made London the largest city in the world, and it also became the city with the most severe environmental damage due to industry.
Wudu is a beautiful name and a satirical one.
Sitting on the train to London, Shirai Yue looked at the smog-filled place closer and closer, and shook her head slightly.
"Everyone only sees the prosperity on the surface. Who cares about how much mud is lying under the prosperity and how many bodies are plastered?"
"Yes. This is a sad story. Maybe they will only consider improving this problem after they taste the bitter fruit they are brewing."
As soon as Shirai Yue finished speaking, a hot voice came from behind Shirai Yue. When he looked back, a man wearing a long black suit and with red-haired and red-eyed eyes came over.
The man walked through the somewhat crowded carriage and came to the seat where Shirai Yue and the other two were, and then reached out to Shirai Yue: "I'm glad to see you, the exorcist of the Black Cult. I am the witch hunter, Lester."
The witch hunter sounds a bit similar to the exorcist, but the two represent completely different groups.
The exorcist is a member of the Black Clan under the church. He is a holy qualified person who is specially used to deal with demons. The demon hunter is a person who is free from the church and has some special abilities to spontaneously fight against demons, vampires, werewolfs, demons, witches and other things outside the church.
Some people once called them vampire hunters because at that time, under the leadership of Van Helsing, their main enemy was the vampire led by Dracula.
For the church, these witch hunters are considered partners. Although their strength is not strong, they are also an important force to protect the world. After all, the world is so big, the church cannot take good care of all places. There will always be some evil demons and heretics hiding in some corners that are rarely visited.
At this time, these witch hunters need to appear.
If they can solve the things outside the people hidden in the mountains, they can use the heads or some items of the things outside to exchange for bounty. If they can't beat them, they will ask the church for help and let the church deal with those powerful beings.
In general, it is somewhat similar to the so-called mercenaries. The difference is that the purpose of mercenaries taking money is basically for themselves, while these witch hunters are for the funds to continue to eliminate the demons.
"My name is Muen."
Shirai Tsuki took Rest's hand and introduced himself: "As you said, we are exorcists from the Black Order. Mr. Rest, right? Before the chat, can you ask Mr. Rest to explain your purpose in London?"
Although it is also an organization that protects humans, compared with a church with huge power and rigorous institutions, the witch hunters act too scattered and uncontrollable. Generally speaking, the church does not allow witch hunters to enter international cities like London. The unscrupulous catharsis ability of the witch hunters may cause huge damage on one hand, and it is also delayed from the collection of church beliefs.
Although witch hunters protect humans, they use various abilities, most of which are denounced as heresy by the church. It would be fine if they exercise their abilities in some rural towns. After all, the residents of rural towns are relatively easy to fool. The church only has one or two missionaries to smooth out the impact of their abilities.
However, big cities are different. If people in big cities see witch hunters exerting special powers beyond holiness to save them, they may be doubtful about the existence of God.
This is unacceptable to the church. They allow the existence of witch hunters because witch hunters are indeed beneficial to protecting humans. But if witch hunters threaten the foundation of the church, then for their own god, the church does not mind taking these witch hunters as heresy names and then launching another holy war!
"I am here to investigate a demon. The demon has very special power and is very harmful to humans. I have enough evidence. On the contrary, he has lurked in London. Because I only have the power to fight against that demon, I must go there in person. Of course, I have applied to the church for entering London."
"A demon with special power?"
Shirai Tsuki was very interested in the demon that Rest mentioned.
The situation in London is very complicated now. There are the demonic weapons of the Thousand Years Earl, the vampire clan that accounts for a large proportion, there are the demons who are truly from the demon world, the god of death from hell, and the Red Devil's Pavilion located outside the suburbs. However, in front of Shirai Yue, such a complex London is as clear as a girl without clothes, and he really hasn't discovered the so-called demon with special power.
If there is a demon who can escape the special ability of his surveillance, then this matter is really worth his involvement.
"Well, that's a demon with the ability to time."
"time?"
"Yes, that demon can pause time. With this ability, he escaped countless pursuits. It was because I left a mark on him that I could find out his specific location."
"It seems that you are not easy to dare to track down demons who can use their time ability alone."
"No, there are just means of restraint."
"That's it, I wish you success, Mr. Rest."
After expressing his blessing with a smile, Shirai Yue made a gesture of invitation to Rest. Seeing Shirai Yue's meaning, Rest bowed slightly to Shirai Yue, and then left the carriage.
After Lester walked away, Alter Luqi asked curiously: "What's wrong with Yue, is there anything wrong with him?"
Since Shirai Yue asked the question, it means that he was indeed interested in this matter, but later drove the man away, which was a bit strange.
"He is not a problem, after all, what he said is basically true, except for his own strength."
"Honesty? He is really not very strong?"
Looking at Alter Luqi with a serious look on his face, Shirai almost smiled angry. He gently knocked on Alter Luqi's forehead and then said, "Don't judge others by your standards. No matter what, it is also a rule-level combat power. It is already very rare in this era. Even in the church, there are only five people reaching this level now."
"What is the rule level?"
Li Nali, who was standing beside her, curiously pulled Shirai Yue's sleeve. In fact, she had no interest in the rules mentioned by Shirai Yue, but the sentence Shirai Yue just said, "Even if there are only five people in the church, there are now reaching this level" gave Li Nali the desire to know.
She wanted to know how far ahead of her where the man she was looking forward to was standing.
"Well, the specific explanation is a bit complicated. If you have to say it, it's the level of the marshal."
"is that so?"
Li Nali tilted her head and looked through the aisle of the carriage to Rest, who was standing in another carriage smoking and looking very sloppy.
"Does that person have the same power as the marshal?"
"No, it's completely different. In a sense, he is much stronger than the Marshal. The Marshal needs to break through 100% holiness to reach the rule level, and he has such power himself."
Shirai Yue’s explanation Li Nali seemed to understand, but now for Li Nali, it is enough to know this information. Shirai Yue has comforted Li Nali, and the problem with Alter Luqi has come again.
"As you say that, he is fine? Then why did you drive him away? You are obviously interested in that demon. I don't believe you will be disliked by the ability to time."
Shirai Yue did not answer Alter Luqi immediately, but instead cast a madman magic on Li Nali first. The following content involves too many secrets. Before Li Nali completely turned to him, Li Nali could not let these secrets be known.
"How could I look down on the ability of time? But I really don't have to care about the ability of time he mentioned. Luqi, do you know that that guy is a god."
"God's descendants? Where?"
The gods are the blood of the gods, and are the descendants of the gods with their power created by the gods with part of their own power. The gods themselves are not rare. At that time, the gods were known as one million, and there were also many descendants. However, this is not the Japanese, but in the area dominated by Jehovah. The gods in this area are either Jesus and their descendants, or the remains of the gods that have died in the dusk of Ragnarok.
But this person is neither.
"His bloodline responds to my divine power, that is, his divine power comes from Gaotianyuan, and it is Gaotianyuan before the dusk of Ragnarok."
“Wait…that means…”
"Well, he is Japanese, and his power is the god of the mythical age. That heat should be a god related to the authority of the flames. What did you say that makes a god cross such a long distance to the other side of the world?"
"Hate? Not like it..."
Alterluqi did not feel hatred from that man. The red pupils contained not anger, but a fire of some idea.
"Who knows, we don't need to know either."
Shirai Tsuki waved his hand and interrupted Alteruqi's thoughts.
"The point is that his origin made me know the identity of the demon he was pursuing. Luqi, do you still remember the war we once fought for Zi?"
How could Alter Luqi not remember the Moon War? That was one of the few activities she went out after she came to this world. Shirai's reminder reminded Alter Luqi of a monster with time power found by Yakumo Zi in the Moon War.
"You mean, the demon that controls time that Rest mentioned is that monster? But isn't that monster dead?"
"It's true that he died, but his ability remains. Yue Yejian used the moon timepiece made by that monster, and he also has the ability to stop time. In the last battle between Yue Yejian, I knocked the moon timepiece away from Yue Yejian's hand, and my whereabouts are still unknown."
"You mean..."
"If I really understand a certain existence of the ability of time, I really need to pay attention to it. After all, the rules of time are too advanced and can easily cause some irreversible consequences to my plan. But for an object... it doesn't matter who gets the moon timepiece. Well, that's it. There is nothing worth my attention in this matter."
There is another saying, Shirai Tsuki did not tell Alter Luqi that he actually wanted to know whether the moon timepiece would still fall into the hands of someone like fate, no matter how many times he studied it, it would make him excited.
He said there was nothing worth paying attention to, but the care that Shirai's eyes radiated in his eyes was too conspicuous, which made Alter Luqi look at him. Although he didn't know what to pay attention to, as Shirai said, a month-only timepiece alone was not a threat to them.
However, the moon timepiece has no threat, which does not mean there are no other threats. From the corner of his eyes, he glanced at Rest and Alteruqi asked Shirai Yue: "Don't worry about that guy? The rule-level gods are nothing to us, but to Remelia..."
"Believe in your juniors. Remy has been the king of vampires for hundreds of years. She herself is also a god who controls her destiny, and there is the power of killing stones in her body. If she really fights, her chances of winning are still very high. As for the other vampires, they will move to Fantasy Country sooner or later. Now there is a bit too many."
Although Fantasy Village is known as a paradise for monsters, it still occupies only a small area. How can it accommodate all inhuman creatures? Shirai Tsuki cannot let all vampires enter Fantasy Village. Instead of arguing about this issue at that time, it is better to borrow someone else’s hands to reduce the number a little.
"Anyway, let's leave this matter to Remi, let's not worry about it. Look, you're at the station, get off the bus."
Li Nali was sleeping on the side, Shirai Yue took Alter Luqi off the train, and the moment they got off the train, a strange wave of power spread throughout London.
Most people don’t have any feeling about this power. Only those who exceed a certain level can feel this strange fluctuation. The power of this fluctuation is not strong, just like a cool breeze, bringing a hint of insignificant chill to people. However, Shirai Yue and Alteruqi froze in place because of this chill.
"Is this the power of Yueye?"
"No... This is the power of the killing stone! I should have thought of it long ago that the moon timepiece fell down with a killing stone. There is no reason why the moon timepiece is here, and the killing stone is not there! I originally thought that this second killing stone would require Remilia to recover her killing stone before she could find it, but now it is close to you! Tsk, things are really unexpected sometimes. I wanted to watch the development of this matter quietly, but now it seems that I have to take care of it."
Looking at the back of Rest's departure not far away, Shirai raised his eyebrows.
"If I remember correctly, in the dark world of London, except for Remelia's vampire, those two guys are the most well-informed. It seems that it is necessary to contact them."
"You mean the shop owner and deacon?"
When I remembered those two weirdos, Alteroqi couldn't help but smile.
