Chapter 336 We Know What's in the Underground City, Son of Dawn
"The civilians of Shadow City are indeed slaves raised by magicians, and the Dawn Society is not a tool for the upper echelons of magicians to support and paralyze everyone. They don't even bother to do such things."

"I have felt the pain of my relatives, friends and neighbors since I was a child, and I have not become numb or forgotten with the passage of time. Perhaps this is why Ms. Ye cares for me."

Gwentoline sat on a chair carved out of tree roots, and said calmly: "When I entered the Aurora Society and was consecrated as a saint, I also passionately called on everyone to rebel, but seeing the inheritance in the society After writing down the account, I suddenly became sober.”

"Since the civilians were imprisoned in the Shadow City, the resistance has continued. When the dawn will be reborn, the resistance reached its climax. At that time, all the men, women, and children in the Shadow City were rebels. Everyone tried every means to dig passages and capture them. Portal, launch escape actions again and again."

"But everything is meaningless, even after ten years of planning and preparation, we have won the support of the magicians in the control tower of the City of Silver, and the battle magicians and magic warriors who sympathize with us occupy the portal and let the heroes rush to But the towers of the Silver City activated barriers, and all rebels were deprived of their strength, and were slaughtered like pigs and sheep in front of the magician's army."

"In one day, Shadow City lost 3 people. More than 900 years ago, that was half of the population of Shadow City. It is said that among the magicians who sympathized with the rebels, several families were also purged, and no less than [-] people died."

"After that, there have been no large-scale resistance actions in Shadow City, and the Aurora Society has also become a loose organization."

"That action was not meaningless. The magician slightly changed his attitude towards the Shadow City. He installed a mirage canopy on the Shadow City, planted crop seeds, opened up water sources, and let the civilians rely on themselves. Gradually, there is a way to survive."

"Afterwards, the magicians were busy exploring the planes and needed a lot of magic tools. Even the workshops of various families could not meet the demand. The magicians allowed civilians to process some small parts and auxiliary devices, and merchants could also enter and exit the Shadow City to do business. Civilians are finally free from subsistence."

"In order to maintain independence among the various families, the Supreme Council expanded the scope of selecting battle magicians and magic warriors to Shadow City, and the common people had more hope."

Gwentoline looked at Li Qi, and Li Qi was quite familiar with the brilliance of wisdom, which was the historical wisdom that has been passed down for thousands of years: "I said this because I hope the Duke understands that although the people of Shadow City are suffering , but compared with a thousand years ago, it is undoubtedly happy."

"I also hope that the Duke understands that even if the civilians of Shadow City respond to the Duke's call to rebel, it is meaningless. In front of the barrier of Shadow City, the barrier of Silver City, and the secondary mask of the entire Storm Islands, even the Duke They are all just ants, not to mention powerless civilians."

Li Qi coughed and said, "I didn't..."

"You're lying," Gwentoline smiled faintly. "You're just looking for opportunities, and at the same time weighing the pros and cons. You won't give up the opportunity to practice your beliefs. Once you take action, things can't be undone."

Li Qi coughed again, feeling strange and uncomfortable.

How do you know me so well?I don't remember having a mother here...

Gwentoline said again: "Your behavior at the auction shows that you despise tradition and are willing to destroy the old order. I am really worried that you will do the same in Shadow City."

Li Qi suddenly realized that it was the bomb he threw at the auction that frightened people.

"So, you want to borrow my strength, but don't want me to go too far and disrupt your plans?"

Li Qi finally understood Gwentoline's intention to find him. This is like a political club looking for street thugs. The rules are set in advance so that the thugs don't turn the parade into a smashing robbery.

He tentatively said: "If the friendship of the Suguang Society is enough, of course I will abide by the rules. I mean, the real Suguang Society."

"The real Aurora Society is the entire Shadow City..."

Gwentoline said with a smile: "All kinds of guilds, mutual aid associations, and even city councils are full of followers of Ms. Ye. We believe that the dawn is in our hearts. We are united not for reckless and unnecessary resistance, but for It is to encourage each other, spread this light, and warm each other's hearts."

"The Duke's arrival has disturbed the situation in the Storm Islands and brought us more opportunities for happiness. If the Duke can continue to restrain himself, let us use this opportunity to gain more benefits. I, the Shuguang Society, And the entire Shadow City will be grateful to the Duke."

"Our gratitude is not empty. If everything goes well, we will provide the Duke with at least 20 teenagers free of charge, enough to form a legion. Although these teenagers are commoners, they are all good seedlings. We have a quick way to train magic warriors Method. Although it is not as good as a regular magic warrior, it can quickly master the most basic extraordinary power, and there are no such strong side effects, and it can fight for the Duke for at least [-] years."

A legion of knockoff magic warriors! ?

It has to be said that Li Qi's heart beat faster at that moment. Magic warriors are not civilians and can use all kinds of magic weapons.

Then he felt unbelievable, isn't this a slave trade?

Gwentoline seemed to be able to read his mind: "Think this is a slave trade? No, this is something the children themselves, and their parents, dream about."

"The Dawn Society seems to be unorganized, but it is everywhere, because everyone who is trying to find a way out for the people of Shadow City has Dawn in their hearts. The major families often use us to buy seedlings of magic warriors and even battle magicians in Shadow City. The ultimate goal of our action this time is to push the Supreme Council to pass a decree, allowing the people of Shadow City to be resold by merchants to other places, and a legion given to the Duke at that time will be an official legal transaction."

"The Duke should have seen the situation on the selection day before. To become a battle magician and a magic warrior is already the highest goal in life for the vast majority of people in the Shadow City. They can leave the Shadow City and enjoy the real sunshine , clean food and drinking water. Although being a slave has no freedom and is likely to die by sword and magic, compared with the pain you are suffering now, this is necessary and well worth the price.”

The picture of a group of children crying and saying "I want to punch" flashed in his mind, and Li Qi sighed secretly. It really is the wisdom accumulated by weak people like ants who have endured thousands of years of slavery.

He asked with some difficulty: "This is slave trading after all, not everyone agrees with such a thing."

"Indeed," Gwentoline sighed: "No matter where you are, there will always be some extreme people who only want to use violence to solve problems. They cannot understand the wisdom of their ancestors coagulated with life and blood. Although they also believe in Ms. Ye , but not part of the Shuguang Society."

"My worry about the duke actually falls on them more. If the duke makes some unrestrained actions, they will be used as a torch by them, igniting the young people in the city of shadows, and making our painstaking efforts a great success. situation, and even burned the entire Shadow City to nothing."

She laughed again: "This fire will eventually burn on the Duke himself. I don't think the Duke is so foolish as to make an enemy of the entire Storm Islands, right?"

No, this is not the wisdom of ants, but the wisdom of a tamed domestic dog.

At this point, Li Qi had fully understood Gwentoline's position and demands, and he smiled and said, "Of course..."

He resisted the urge to turn around and leave, got up and said: "If you can really get a legion, such a deal is indeed a good deal. And I came to the Storm Islands to push magicians to join the Alliance of Order more actively. It will undermine Her Majesty's overall situation."

After a few more polite words, Li Qi said goodbye and left. When he opened the door, he finally remembered that there was something he hadn't asked.

"Is the current saint?"

Gwentoline said meaningfully: "She has been working hard for the civilians of Shadow City. When things come to an end, she may celebrate the victory with you."

Thinking that this former saint should be the authority of Ms. Ye's faith in Shadow City, Li Qi continued to ask: "Do you also think that the Goddess of Dawn is the incarnation of Ms. Ye? You should know the situation outside. Queen Rezia's Oath of Broken Tower."

Gwentoline folded her hands, pressed her chest and said: "The dawn is only in people's hearts. Only by knowing patience and understanding the wisdom of the predecessors can one obtain peace of mind and see the dawn in peace."

Just deny it directly, pretending to be a ghost...

"Let me ask another question..."

Li Qi felt that he was challenging the patience of the former saint: "Why did the magician imprison civilians in the shadow city? With the ability to transform the sub-mask, it is not difficult to build a big island and throw everyone there, right? "

Gwentoline was at a loss for a very short period of time, and then she asked: "Shouldn't the Duke ask the magician this question?"

Li Qi looked directly at her: "The answer I got is that in the eyes of magicians, the civilians in Shadow City are just a group of ants. How could they care about the life and death of ants?"

Gwentoline smiled lightly and said, "Then my answer is the same. I can't think of any other answers."

Li Qi asked: "Using the civilians in Shadow City as fuel, extracting their vitality to maintain the operation of the secondary mask, what's the answer?"

Gwentoline said in a pitiful tone: "Duke, even if I don't have superpowers and don't know magic, I know that if I extract life force from a random monster, the energy I get is much more than that from a commoner. Such rumors already exist It’s been hundreds of years, but it’s just a means used by extremists to confuse people.”

Li Qi said apologetically: "It seems that I really think too much."

After Li Qi left, Gwentoline paced back and forth in the room, and after a long time, she let out a long breath.

She pushed open the window, and the illusion of the zenith cast a beam of light, condensing a blurred figure in the room.

The warm and magnetic young voice asked, "Mother, how did it turn out?"

Gwentoline shook her head: "You have to be careful with him, he is very concerned about the situation in Shadow City, he won't obediently follow the road we paved, he is planning something."

The young voice said helplessly: "That guy must want to use Shadow City as another card to continue to persecute us."

She comforted again: "Mother doesn't have to worry, as long as you give him some sweetness as soon as possible, he should be able to stabilize him until the reorganization meeting is held."

Then he said with some annoyance: "The only thing to worry about now is the families of the Youxiang Sect. They will definitely not sit still."

The holy and solemn brilliance on Gwentoline's face dissipated, leaving only the love towards her daughter: "You have to rest well, I feel that you are thin again, these things, just do your best. The suffering of a thousand years cannot disappear overnight, Don’t expect the mission of several epochs to end on you.”

The voice of the figure changed a bit: "Mother...thank you...but you also know that this is the mission entrusted to me by the lady, and I am with the lady."

The two were relatively speechless for a while, and Gwentoline said with some difficulty: "Haini, let me ask you again, if you don't know the answer, just say you don't know, if you know but don't want to tell me, don't make up stories, Just be silent."

She took a deep breath, and said the question Li Qi had asked before: "Why do magicians lock up civilians in the Shadow City?"

The figure swayed, and after a while he said, "The last time I asked my instructor this question, he was silent."

………………

Li Qi, Gambit and others left the alleyway and took the floating vehicle to the teleportation hall in the central square.Although Li Qi really wanted to ride a floating horse or even skateboard for fun, he was repulsed by Gambit's "Chief Cardinal, please abide by organizational discipline".

When you get to the outside of the teleportation hall, you can't use the cloak and hood costume. If you are greeted by the guard, it will attract the attention of others.

Li Qi, Gambit and the others wore plain clothes similar to those of the people of Shadow City, walked over the many teleporters who were queuing up, and the civilians selling gadgets around the queuing people, and walked towards the VIP passage.

A few civilians surrounded him and were about to speak, but when they saw Li Qi's face clearly, they froze for a while.

"careful!"

Gambit and the guards subconsciously stopped the civilians, and a civilian shouted in a low voice: "Children of the Dawn!"

The other civilians did not resist. After being driven aside, they all looked at Li Qi with fiery eyes, and at the same time muttered: "Son of Dawn!"

It seems to have fallen into a pit!

Li Qi's first reaction was this, he subconsciously quickened his pace, and countless civilians around turned around to look at him.

These people didn't shout, but they all looked at Li Qi with weird eyes. This scene was very familiar to him.That's how people looked at him when he was inspiring believers in the castle.

"Ricky Player..."

"Son of Dawn..."

"The chosen ones of the Goddess of Dawn..."

"Here he is, here he is..."

"He's real, he's alive..."

People whispered, gathered into a stream, and quickly spread to the entire square.

No one came around, people were just cautious, watching from a distance, as if every move was a disturbance and a crime.

At the door of the VIP passage, the guards are the Shadow City guards.This team of guards looked at Li Qi enthusiastically but timidly, as if they were not even breathing. Even if they were facing legends or kings, they would not be so at a loss.

Could it be that Little Red Riding Hood was online and sent him a benefit called "Protagonist Halo"?Although it has seriously expired, as long as it can take effect, it will be fine.

Li Qi thought to himself mockingly, the current scene cannot be explained by the halo of the protagonist.

"The Chief Cardinal..."

Bastion Poppy touched him and came close to him with his fist raised.Let go of your fist, inside is a piece of paper with only two lines.The top line reads "To the Children of the Dawn, We Know What's in the Undercity", and the bottom line is the address.

Bobby said: "I was touched by someone just now, and I got this extra in my hand."

Gambit whispered: "Shall we go back and discuss?"

Li Qi turned his head, and the eyes that were originally focused on him suddenly dissipated, but he could still feel strongly that most people in the square were looking at him from the corner of their eyes, and he seemed to be able to hear hundreds of thousands of voices calling him.

Son of the Dawn...

Has the Youxiang faction's actions begun?
But using the secrets of the underground city to fish, are you really not afraid of dragging yourself into the water?
In an instant, Li Qi's thoughts changed sharply and he made a decision.
