Your Majesty, drink the medicine quickly

Chapter 163 It must be an illusion! Am I a cultist? ! (-in-)

The two of them looked in the direction pointed by Li Pu and found that there seemed to be many figures in the forest in the distance.

It looks like there is an auction going on.

After listening carefully, it seems that it is indeed an auction!

Because someone is shouting the price and someone is holding a sign! And on the centermost stage, there stood a beautiful blindfolded and shackled woman—a slave being auctioned!

Elizabeth: "That's bullshit! How could someone come here to hold an auction? They're mentally ill!"

Katerina: "There must be something wrong with the medicine Nip gave us! That's why we dreamed up such an outrageous scenario!"

After complaining for a while, the two ladies looked at each other. Then, they came up with an answer.

First, there is a problem with the drug. After taking it, it will cause hallucinations.

Second, Li Pu has mental illness, so he also sees hallucinations.

"Stop discussing it, you two, do you know the tricks that can hide you?" Li Pu looked at the map and said: "The location is behind the crowd. There are probably thousands of people here. With so many people, we can't even There’s no way around it.”

Li Pu suspected that those people were cultists.

There were some thorns on the ground just now and scratched his leg - he almost fainted from the pain!

He endured the severe pain for the first time and used the power of cleanliness to clean up the poison, but it was contaminated by the saint.

The lines on the tree form several lines of words.

'Those people are definitely cultists! '

'They number in the thousands! '

'Far more than I thought! '

At this time, Li Pu felt an itch on his neck. He stretched out his hand to touch it, then glanced at his palm, and then his whole body went numb.

One is that he really had a hallucination - there was actually no one here.

After searching along the gathering place of the cultists, he saw these two guys in the crowd.

'The pilgrims are all irrational living dead, but those people look normal'

'Furthermore, as long as you are slightly scratched by a thorn, you will be cursed with pain and it will hurt like hell. But when those people walked through the forest, their expressions remained normal. '

'why is that? '

Li Pu believes that there are only two answers.

Then, halfway down the road, he hid under a huge fluorescent fern tree.

'What are you doing! These two are mentally ill! The biggest crisis came from his teammates! '

Li Pu was about to cry but had no tears. This was the first time he had been injured in so long!

I wasn't even injured when I was fighting the BOSS!

'It's okay if you can't be of much help. Don't be such a hindrance, okay? '

While cursing, Li Pu took a sneak peek towards the crowd and found that some newcomers had passed through the fern forest and entered the crowd.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, Li Pu's eyes moved slightly.

[Based on your current SAN value, the pollution degree must not exceed 1600. 】

In addition, the forest was very deep and the light was not good, so people did not see Li Pu's dress clearly, let alone pay careful attention to his face.

'These bugs just finished sucking blood? '

'Those people are definitely not normal! There are barbs everywhere in the forest and there are so many insects. And many people did not come from the 'cobweb path'. How is it possible not to get scratched or bitten? '

Elizabeth said before that there was only one way to get in.

But Li Pu disagrees - there is a second way.

"Come on, why are you hiding there!" Katerina shouted: "The best way to break the illusion is to face it directly - your paranoia has never been cured because of your escape."

They are a group of blood-sucking bugs with human heads, their abdomens shine like rubies, emitting deadly fluorescence in the dark woodland.

He broke off a barb on the vine, stretched out his hand and waved it a few times. With the blessing of 'touch and hit', the surrounding area instantly became quiet.

But the crowd didn't pay much attention to him.

So, they stopped paying attention.

Amidst the loud shouts of the two female nerves, everyone around her looked over.

Because it's party time!

Many people are rushing here.

This is undoubtedly an excellent gathering place.

There was a buzzing sound around him. Li Pu looked up and his pupils suddenly shrank.

Therefore, those people looked this way for a while and vaguely noticed someone strutting this way. They thought that Li Pu was also a party participant, so they stopped paying attention.

That is to transform into the kind of 'pilgrim' who wants to live but not die before entering.

'Have you used the stealth trick? Li Pu felt a little surprised and walked over: "But why didn't I feel it?" '

At this moment, Li Pu suddenly found that as the two greeted him, everyone around them looked at the two ladies with surprised eyes.

Pilgrims are not afraid of the saint's pollution, because they are already extremely polluted people.

This location near the Secret Garden is the place with the strongest aura of the Saint in the entire violet.

Li Pu: ‘.’

With his mind racing, Li Pu walked towards the crowd.

Li Pu: "?"

The second is that the cognition of this group has been distorted to the extreme, which is why they look normal in pain.

'I just don't know why the cultists are holding an auction here. Maybe they are too far away to see clearly, or maybe these people are more mentally ill than the Tadar people! '

After thinking for a moment, Li Pu put down the map in his hand and looked at the two ladies.

They were chatting while walking towards the high platform in the center.

It's a group of tiny parasites.

[Current pollution level: 36]

"Yes, yes, we all know it's an illusion, just ignore it." Elizabeth shouted to Li Pu while pushing the people around her: "Come here quickly!"

Li Pu: "??"

'The only people who have seen me and Katerina are the two idiots on the upper level of Violet, who are on the periphery. In addition, Katerina was wearing a violet knight costume, so they did not recognize Katerina immediately. Naturally, she didn't know that she was greeting Nip. '

'As for Elizabeth. She looks like all Themis. '

'But I'm afraid it won't be delayed for long. Katerina has the features of the Tadar royal family. Although the common people may not know that the Duke has an illegitimate daughter, those who are knowledgeable will find that she is from a foreigner. '

With a temporary sigh of relief, Li Pu looked at the wound on his leg.

Only to find that both of them were gone!

The nuns have said before that the Evil God Cult often holds gatherings at random locations and prepares many sacrifices to warm up.

As if sensing Li Pu's gaze, the two people in the crowd waved towards Li Pu.

Someone will come over at any moment.

When Li Pu just waved the barbs, they were also chopped into two sections, but their corpses were still squirming.

There is blood on the parasite's corpse - it's his own blood.

I have been tricked invisibly.

[Current pollution level: 139]

[There are too many bugs here. Go back to the spider web area as soon as possible. But standing there is too conspicuous. 】

[Perhaps you should create a 'tidy' area? With your divine power, this realm should be able to last until the end of the party. 】

[But if your teammates haven’t seen you for so long, they will definitely come looking for you yelling.]

[You seem to have been trapped into a dead end by your teammates. 】

'Not yet. '

Li Pu rolled on the ground among the piles of bloody insect corpses, and then used the barbs in his hands to scratch his clothes.

'These people all came across from the woods. Their clothes must be in tatters and their bodies must be stained with blood. '

'I look no different from them now. '

'Elizabeth and Katerina's clothes were so neat that they would be exposed. But I can hide among the cultists. '

His face and hair were also stained with blood.

After standing up again, Li Pu picked up a bug and rubbed its carapace. Then the carapace was as smooth as a mirror, and he saw his current appearance in the mirror.

The color of her hair is no longer distinguishable, and the clothes she is wearing cannot be discerned.

'Now even my mother doesn't recognize me. '

What Li Pu is most worried about is not being recognized by the cultists, but what he is most worried about is being recognized by those two guys from Katerina!

But don't worry now.

[You still have to worry about it. 】

[Current pollution level: 367]

[You are starting to look a little abnormal.] [Attention, the pollution level must not exceed 1578! 】

'It's not like you're hallucinating or going crazy. But don't make any more trouble. '

Li Pu patted the dirt on his hands and walked through the woods.

When Li Pu walked into the crowd, he found that it was an open space in the fern forest.

The area of ​​​​the open space is larger than Tadar's sacred square, and it will not be a problem to accommodate thousands of people.

In the center of the open space, there are many huge ferns or mushrooms. They are like umbrellas with large covers, covering the open space.

The top of the tree crown is covered with spider webs, and the top of the spider webs should be covered by vines, moss and fungi. This prevented Li Pu and the others from discovering this open space when they looked down at the forest before.

Countless people were scattered in the open space, and it looked like a lively big market.

The slave auction was in the middle of the clearing.

Around the auction, there are some 'screens' composed of water magic, fire magic and even shadow magic, playing the items in the auction.

Not that many people paid attention to the auction.

Because the high platform of the auction was empty at this time, what was playing on the 'screen' was also vague and unclear - judging from what the host in the center of the empty space said, it seemed like he was explaining something.

It's a bit like a product introduction or advertisement.

Everything here has been carefully taken care of and looks very neat and orderly.

Just as Li Pu expected, after those people took one look at him, they continued to go about their own business.

Some people even greeted Li Pu kindly.

But Li Pu was dumbfounded.

"Sir Nip, how great it is to see you here!"

A nobleman wearing a wig, a roloco nobleman's service, and white stockings and high heels gave Li Pu a warm hug.

This person is the 'finance minister' beside Duke Alfred.

His clothes were intact and there was no blood on him, but he was very neat.

Li Pu suddenly looked at himself and found that his clothes were intact and there was no blood on his body.

'what happened? I just clearly remembered that I scratched my clothes! '

Thinking back to the narration about 'You are starting to become abnormal', Li Pu felt dizzy for a while.

'I, am I hallucinating? '

After the noble called out Li Pu's name, everyone around him noticed it.

Everyone smiled in surprise.

——"Who did I see? It must be the Holy Mother appearing!"

——"Just now I saw Her Highness Katerina and Her Highness Elizabeth."

——"I really didn't expect that Mr. Nip would come here, but it's not unexpected."

They hugged Li Pu warmly as if they had met their good brothers. And chatted with him.

In confusion, several nuns from the Chicheng Monastery came over with smiles on their faces.

They held thorns and vines and slapped Li Pu's body. Then he gave Li Pu some blessings in the name of Hilna and Yeshathemis.

By the time Li Pu came to his senses, the 'good brothers' had already taken Li Pu around this 'underground trading house'.

It is indeed an underground trading house.

Because there are so many stalls, shacks, and even treehouses!

Most of the items on sale are 'potions', 'weapons' and 'hell creatures'.

The creatures are basically the ones found in this fern forest, mainly the most deadly hell bugs and hell plants.

Perhaps, this deadly thing that contains a strong painful curse is a precious alchemical material?

Li Pu discovered that there was more than one road leading to this market.

And he also met many acquaintances here. Including Sir Charlie who escorted him into the city today, including the lords, and even the sheep officer he saw today.

Including the two young ladies who had been standing nearby and watching with cold eyes.

Elizabeth: "Hey, hey, Katerina, that fool is in a hallucination."

Katerina said helplessly: "Hey, Nip has always been delusional. He has no ability to resist hallucinations."

Elizabeth was speechless: "That idiot doesn't even think about it. Those people were so in awe of him during the day, but now they are hugging him like brothers? Let's leave him alone."

"Hey, come on." Katerina was worried about Li Pu. She wiped the last untidy place in the entire 'bazaar' and said, "This guy doesn't even think about it. How could this be possible in a place like this?" Will there be a market?"

"Yes, Sir Benjamin." Li Pu felt that he was more 'sober': "How can there be a market here?"

"My good brother, of course this is not a market."

The noble looked at the stalls and the shoppers coming and going, and said: "This is a black market. You know, these goods are needed by all the Violet People. But they are not suitable for public sale. After all, the Violet People are a paradise in name only." believer."

"All the Violet People?" Li Pu was dumbfounded. He looked at the Cursed Woodland outside the clearing, and at the hell vampires and parasites that kept knocking down the spider webs from outside the territory. I wonder if I heard it wrong.

"Does everyone buy things here?" Li Pu asked again: "Do you come here specifically to buy things?"

The noble said: "No, no, no, the market is not limited to this one. But they are all near this area. Besides, you know, there are still some outsiders in Violet."

Another gentleman next to him added: "From time to time, travelers who are lost in the fog come to Violet, and the Violet people will introduce these confused poor people into this 'oasis in a world of misery.'"

Someone else said: "Occasionally, the nuns will secretly lead pilgrims from outside the city into the oasis. You know, this world is hopeless and it is difficult for everyone. As managers, we can help a Is a."

Li Pu understood.

There are many black markets near the Garden of Misery.

Everyone knows about these black markets.

Everyone - everyone, knew about these black markets and would come to the markets.

"By the way, Lord Nip, who told you about today's party?" the noble asked: "Is it the Duke?"

Li Pu shook his head blankly.

The people around looked at each other with disappointed expressions.

It seems that there are still some people in the city who don't know about the existence of the black market - in the entire Violet, everyone except the Duke knows about it.

"Did someone in your knighthood tell you that?"

Li Pu looked strange and shook his head.

——It seems that Saron and others also know nothing about this kind of gathering.

Everyone frowned and asked, "Did Irene and the others tell you?"

Li Pu nodded. He looked at the 'good brothers' around him with a smile and said, "Yes, Irene and the sixteen others guided me and helped me get out of my own way and fall into the arms of the 'Saint Girl'."

Everyone was pleasantly surprised.

Li Pu's face was ashen.
