Chapter 169 Dark Tide Meeting

After learning that Elise was fine, Romon was greatly sighed in relief.

This was the first friend he made in the Broom Empire, and it allowed him to integrate into the life of this world, which can be said to have helped him a lot.

When I saw this booklet at this moment, I instantly felt like I met a stranger in a foreign land.

Romon pulled over a steam carriage on the side of the road and headed to the address the man gave him, 31 Forge Street, Forge Church.

The Forge Parish is unfamiliar to Romon.

Although I came here last night, it was limited to the area over the basement tavern.

Just like the Steam Parish has a distinct style.

Forge Street is one of the streets of Furnace Parish, with a strong Furnace Church style, buildings are fiery-red, blacksmith shops and various weapon shops can be seen everywhere.

31 Furnace Street is called the Flaming Tavern, which is a very deserted tavern.

Romon walked into the tavern and felt someone watching him, the line of sight came from the corner, a man in a black coat and a hood.

Can’t see male or female.

But Romon was sure that the other party’s eyes were on him.

He stepped one stopped, turned around, walked over, sat opposite the small round table, and after confirming the identity of the other party, said with a smile: “long time no see.”

The other party then took off his hood, revealing a familiar face, “Yeah, long time no see.”

Elise dim-blue looked at Romon with her jewel-like eyes, smiling, two shallow dimples appeared on the face.

The two chatted quickly.

Elise didn’t talk as lightly as usual. Obviously, it took a lot of difficulties to reach Jianhai. At that time, the situation in Wudun was difficult for even Romon. It was extremely difficult for her to reach Jianhai. Not easy.

It’s just that the two have been dating for a long time.

But Elise didn’t ask for help.

Romon is a little weird.

Elise is a member of the Dawn Knights, but she doesn’t go to the Knights, and she doesn’t even mention the word. The other party contacted him in such a secret way, there must be something to say.

Otherwise, there are no special circumstances, why don’t you find yourself directly and let a middleman use a token to pass the word?

Romon also made mental preparations for this.

If Elise really has any troubles, she can slowly think of a way, and everything is possible in life.

Seeing her with a lot of thought.

Romon took the initiative to ask: “How’s your day going? How about Jasper? Why haven’t you seen him?”

Elise sighed: “Jasper met in Fogtown. Unfortunately, I didn’t come out alive. I’m okay, I have some savings in my hand, and I will continue to work as a private investigator after I come to Jianhai, and the income is not bad.”

Romon hesitated.

He wanted to tell the other party that he would have a connection with the Dawn Knight, but Elise didn’t seem to mention the meaning of the Dawn Knight meeting.

Unsure of the situation, Romon kept his mouth shut.

Intuition tells him that Elise is a little tricky here, and the other party is likely to be involuntarily.

Romon took a sip of the ale, “Then do you need any help? I’ve been here for a long time, and I know a lot of friends from all walks of life. Are you two of us? Sorry?”

Elise shook her head, “No, I’m doing fine now.

I asked you out today, I just want to catch up with you. If we have time in the future, we will also We can go out together, it’s still a long time anyway.”

Romon nods, since the other party doesn’t say anything, he can’t do anything about it.

After a few drinks, Elise hurriedly put on her hood, said goodbye to Romon, and left the Flaming Tavern.

Romon sighed as he saw the other party wrap up and leave in a steam carriage.

Although I could feel the weirdness between Elise’s words, she didn’t say it, and Romon couldn’t make random guesses.

“It shouldn’t be a big problem. If there is really trouble, she certainly won’t be polite to me.” Romon shook his head.

Elise became much quieter.

It must have been the death of Jasper and the members of the Dawn Knights who had hit her hard, and she had yet to come out of the shadows.

Forget it, let’s focus on the spirit-sucking monkey skull first.

…

crash-bang.

The wheels of the steam carriage roll smoothly out of Forge Street.

The carriage, where Elise was the only one, suddenly turned from transparent to solid, revealing a silhouette.

The other party was wearing a black embroidered cheongsam, revealing smooth white thighs, and a pair of coquettish green pupils stared at Elise, “It looks like you failed, my guest, you should know the consequences of failure!”

Elise raised her head, her eyes angry, “You contacted my friend without my permission!”

“Why, do you think our Undertide will be a charity organization?

This is also for you.

Your friend, at least he seems to be doing well, he should have some savings.

Even if he can’t pay you It should also be used as a perfect sacrifice material, right? Sacrifice a friend of yours and you will be completely free.”

The woman said strangely.

Elise clenched her fists, her face turning pale: “You bully intolerably!”

She didn’t expect that the other party was able to contact Romon.

This organization called the Dark Tide Society, she met in Wudun.

At that time, Jasper and other Knight members had died in the upheaval in Wudun. Elise wanted to try to leave, but unexpectedly encountered the dark tide.

The counterparty, a special lending organization, offered her a deal.

Pay her five hundred pounds and take her out of Wudun.

Elise agreed after thinking about it, and signed an order contract with the other party.

But when we finally arrived at Jianhai, the other party actually asked for a separate fee. Five hundred gold pounds is just a deposit, and five thousand gold pounds must be paid before this transaction is completely over. And the order contract signed at that time, I don’t know why, has no effect on them!

Elise fell into a trap when she even reacted!

It’s just that she wants to resist, but the opponent’s strength is terrifying, and she is also bound by the order contract.

The person who escaped from Wudun on the Dark Tide Ship with her was also blackmailed.

They are both folk awakened.

Someone secretly went to the Bureau of Investigation to report the case, but it never happened again. Someone organized a team to resist, but it became a sacrifice for the ceremony held by the Dark Tide.

Elise’s every move is being watched by the other party, and she can’t find any chance.

There is more than one third rank awakened in the opponent’s organization!

The rules of the Dark Tide Club are also very simple.

If you pay back the money, everything is fine.

You can steal, rob, borrow or cheat, and the dark tide will no matter how you repay the money.

But if you don’t pay within a certain period of time, you will be treated as a sacrifice in the dark tide ceremony.

The Dark Tide Club has also prepared a way for those guys who have been tricked into being unable to pay their bills.

That is to find another awakened as a sacrifice to take his place!

All in all.

Those who have had transaction disputes with the dark tide are deeply caught in the big net of this loan trap.

Most of the guys who can’t repay, but don’t dare to take the risk and report the crime, will choose to coax another extraordinary awakened to get rid of the entanglement of the Dark Tide Society. With the assistance of the Dark Tide Club, this option is much less difficult.

But Elise is clear.

If you do this, you will only fall under the threat of the Dark Tide Society, and you will definitely become their puppet.

Once that happens, it’s really consigned to eternal damnation.

She wanted to stall for opportunities.

But absolutely didn’t expect these guys to find her old friends.

And this is the teaching of the Church of the Furnace, and the Dark Tide will not be restrained at all here, which makes Elise feel the strength of the other party even more terrifying.

She dared not reveal the inside information to Romon to avoid getting him involved.

With the strength of the Dark Tide Club, even if Romon knew about it, it was just a buy-one-get-one-free gift, just one more head. The Flame Tavern is the industry of the Dark Tide Club. If she dared to say a word just now, it is estimated that the Dark Tide Club will start immediately.

The carriage moves fast.

Elise sniffed the smell in the air, a look of determination appeared in her eyes, and she jumped out of the carriage in an instant!

She smelled the members of the Church of the Everlasting Forge.

It was a very pungent fiery taste, and it didn’t smell very good. But at this moment, it has become her hope of saving her life. Only by running directly in front of the Law Enforcement Team of the church can she get rid of the entanglement of the Dark Tide Society.

Those who wanted to report the crime and seek help from the church and the Bureau of Investigation were intercepted by the Dark Tide Party on the way, and there was no chance at all. These borrowers are always under the surveillance of the Dark Tide Society.

Now may be her only chance, and she must seize it.

But Elise just jumped out.

The woman wearing a cheongsam, revealing her thighs as smooth as suet fine jade, was sneered, and her body floated out like a ghost.

A phantom suddenly appeared behind Elise’s back, locked her neck firmly, and then forcibly dragged her back into the carriage.

“I thought you had given up, but it still seems dishonest. Since you can’t raise money and want to escape, then send it to the dark tide ceremony.”

A strange smile appeared in the woman’s eyes.

Elise struggled fiercely, but her limbs seemed to be locked by heavy shackles, unable to move, unable to resist the opponent’s ability, and even her psychic energy was blocked and unable to use.

“Stop struggling, a Second Rank awakened still trying to break free from my lock? Yan lock.”

The woman coldly snorted.

Elise felt like her mouth was stuck with glue and couldn’t make a sound.

The carriage then makes its way out of the Forge parish without hindrance, then through several thriving regions, and finally docks in a secluded port.

In front of the port, the two of them boarded a small boat and went out to sea all the way to a remote island about two nautical miles away from Jianhai.

There is a huge tin freighter on the lee of the island, with six tower-like exhaust chimneys, docked in the dark port, like a giant beast.

This ship is the ship that the Undertide will carry people from Wudun to Jianhai.

Elise will not forget.

At this time, in the center of the island, a blazing bonfire was burning, and under the dark night, the billowing smoke was perfectly covered.

A dozen men and women were tied up at the center of the bonfire.

There is a Giant High Platform, which depicts various densely packed symbols, like tadpoles crawling on it, making people feel dizzy at a glance.

This group of people tied up on the high platform are all awakened.

All of their psionic powers were suppressed, and even their minds were blurred, sitting muddleheaded, waiting for the fire to take their lives.

Under the high platform and on the ground around the bonfire, there are lines of strange characters drawn by blood. These characters twist and dance under the light and shadow of the flames, giving an unfathomable feeling.

Boom, boom, boom.

More than a dozen people, wearing luxurious gold jewelry and painted faces, danced around the bonfire.

Their dance moves are ghostly, with a whisper of evil spirits and a buzzing sound.

“The ceremony has begun. This group of people who cannot repay their debts will be sent to the Divine Kingdom of the Dark Tide King, allowing them to use their lives to repay their debts.”

Two men with golden masks on their faces in the distance, watching this scene, communicated in a low voice.

The Dark Tide will use the color of the mask to distinguish the noble of status.

Golden is the leader’s position in the Dark Tide Club. Only the third rank awakened are eligible to wear the golden mask.

Here tonight is the ceremony of the Dark Tide.

They need to worship the Dark Tide King regularly in order to get the Divine Force bestowed by the King.

oh la la.

Just as the two golden-masked leaders were talking, a small boat docked.

The women in cheongsam walked ashore, their waists twisting like a sexy bearing and charming temperament.

She held Elise in her hand and said with a chuckle: “It seems that I am not late, the dark tide ceremony has just started, there is a guy here who wants to escape halfway, just throw her in to dedicate to the great Lord.”

Neither of the two gold-masked guys objected.

“Move a bit faster, don’t disrupt the ceremony process. We will hold a ceremony tonight, and we will immediately escape to the sea to avoid attracting the attention of the Bureau of Investigation and the Three Major Sects. After the debt is collected, we will go directly to the Gaobang Confederation. I always feel uneasy on the side of Jianhai, just because the Gaobang Confederate has lost the war, the situation is more chaotic now, which can allow us to grow and develop.”

A golden mask said.

The other person also nodded in agreement: “Indeed, we will leave after this vote. Jianhai is too dangerous.”

The cheongsam woman twitched his lips and did not continue. He ignored the two of them, walked to the roaring bonfire, looked at the exquisite high platform on the bonfire, and said to Elise with a sneer: “The people on the high platform will follow the burning of the flame and the increase in temperature. Slowly steamed. They don’t feel pain at first, but at the back, they will feel severe pain. Finally, they die in terrifying heat and go to the Divine Kingdom of the Dark Tide King.”

Elise gritted her teeth, but the opponent’s ability to block psionic energy made her unable to resist.

even more how.

This is also the base camp of the Dark Tide Club.

There are several third rank awakened!

“Spirit lock.”

The cheongsam woman put two fingers on her bright red lips and made a hissing gesture, and the spirit that Elise found seemed to be locked as well.

It was the same way before.

Her psionic power, hands and feet, were all bound by invisible chains.

The woman sneered and threw her on the high platform.

At the moment on the high platform, Elise is the only one who is sober, and can intuitively feel the heat of the soles of her feet, just like stepping on hot coals.

The pain hits.

The fear of death reminded her of the encounter with Romon just now. Even if she told Romon, nothing would change…

If she told Romon the truth at that time, the other party would also be attacked by the dark tide. No matter how she chooses, she has no choice.

This is a dead end.

Elise gritted her teeth, her vision began to blur, and the intense temperature was unbearable even for awakened.

But right now.

There seemed to be a commotion among those in the Dark Tide Club under the darkness ahead, and even the group of members who were dancing the sacrificial dance around the bonfire stopped abruptly.

Elise felt something wrong, but her consciousness was starting to blur.

In the blurred vision before the coma.

She vaguely saw a giant arrow moved towards the high platform.

That appears to be…a heavy siege crossbow bolt! But how can there be siege equipment on this small island?

Boom as the thought flashed through my mind.

The built altar was smashed to pieces by this arrow, and the people on the high platform rolled down like dumplings. Elise suddenly felt the invisible shackles that bound her hands and feet loosened, and her strong desire to survive made her hit immediately. He rolled, turned his body over several times, and rolled into the bushes next to him.

She immediately hid her good breath and hid in the bushes motionless.

And others weren’t as lucky as she was.

Most of the comatose sacrifices fell directly into the bonfire pit. Even if they didn’t burn to death for a while, they would definitely burn beyond recognition.

Bang!

In this instant, another huge arrow from a siege crossbow was fired.

“Big sister is mighty!”

Romon looked at Swana next to him holding the reverse-blade gun in one hand, and the siege crossbow the size of a bucket in the other hand. It was thrown like a javelin, and for a while, I could only cheer from the side.

This is a siege bolt made entirely of iron essence, weighing more than two hundred pounds.

After being enchanted by an investigation bureau awakened next to it, the arrow also has a destructive Fire Element spirit technique, which is equivalent to a precision-guided strike, which will explode once it falls.

This thing is much more powerful than muskets.

Ordinary bullets have no effect on awakened, but if this thing hits a Second Rank awakened, the whole corpse will not be left behind.

Swana was very interested in picking up another javelin, and continued to aim at the center of the island and threw it out. It seems that because of Amos’ death, she has no place to vent her grievances, and these guys just hit the muzzle.

Seeing this, Romon said solemnly: “I will go to the island to see first. These cultists are organizing cults here. Maybe they will leave behind. I am afraid that they will escape from other places.”

p>

Swana looked like someone who had come over: “Go on, your friend should be fine. It usually takes a long time for these Dark Tide guys to hold evil rituals, and it’s just starting now.”

Being hit, Romon faintly smiled and rushed into the island.

After leaving with Elise, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. In the end, he squatted on the street corner for a while, just in time to see Elise being taken away and the woman in cheongsam walking out of the carriage.

The other party is a third rank awakened, and the aura on his body is a bit evil.

A vigilant Romon called the police immediately.

To be precise, go directly to the Investigation Bureau and ask Miss Swana to dispatch.

For cases like this that are just suspicion but no evidence, the Bureau of Investigation usually investigates for several days, and then waits to determine what happened before continuing to formulate a battle plan.

The Bureau of Investigation is very busy, and not everything will be motivated.

But the relationship between Romon and Swana doesn’t need to be so troublesome.

After the other party heard Romon’s general situation, they brought in the manpower directly, and requisitioned a ship from a port to arrive quickly.

Swana wants to learn the six skills of Knight, and there are still more places to trouble Romon in the future, so she pays great attention to her work.

“Head, the encirclement is almost there. There are about 70 members of the Dark Tide on this island, and there are many victims on their freighter.”

A member of the Bureau of Investigation Running from the darkness.

Swana stopped throwing and stretched out, her silver scale armor gleaming in the moonlight, “Okay, everyone, come with me and slaughter these evil priests!”

She loudly shouted, an invisible imposing manner emanated from her body.

Accompanied by her thunderous breathing, the members of the investigation bureau ignited high fighting spirit.

The voice fell, and Swana stepped forward, raised the anti-blade gun, and rushed towards the large freighter of the Dark Tide Society.

The foundation of the Undertide Society is on the ship.

Although there is an evil ceremony on the island tonight, the main force is not on the freighter, but as long as the freighter is gone, none of these members of the Undertide will be able to escape.

The other party also obviously realized this, and after being attacked by the Bureau of Investigation, they have already started to return to the cargo ship.

Just facing Swana, the fourth rank awakened, they were like facing War God.

 …

On the island.

Because the ceremony was interrupted, a group of members of the Dark Tide Society were furious and angry, but the siege bolts shot killed several people, and the situation became chaotic all of a sudden.

With the sound of fighting coming from the freighter, these guys are even more confused.

Romon put on the Hypocrite mask, and quickly spotted Elise running away in the woods.

The other party tried his best to escape for his life, but the cheongsam woman behind him chased after him.

The investigation bureau suddenly arrives, and the dark tide will immediately suspect Elise.

Only Elise came after her. She came to the Bureau of Investigation as soon as she came. Everyone knew there was a problem. At this moment, the cheongsam woman thought of the previous conversation in the tavern, and her suspicions increased greatly.

Got to catch this guy!

Whether to vent her anger or take a hostage, Elise can’t slip away from her.

“Give it up, where can you go again?”

There was a hint of coldness in the cheongsam woman’s eyes, but at this moment, a very dangerous premonition flashed in her heart. .

Almost subconsciously.

The cheongsam girl hurriedly rolled around, a half-human-sized rock rubbed her cheeks and flew past, knocking down several trees and smashing a huge hole in the ground beside her.

She hurriedly turned around and saw a silhouette walking out of the swirling tree shadows, blocking her way.

Such a delay.

Elise has run several hundred meters away.

If you want to pursue her, you must face the attack of this strange man. If this guy is not resolved ahead of time, I am afraid it will be difficult to continue to do other things.

“The henchman of the Investigation Bureau is really annoying.”

The cheongsam woman’s eyes flashed coldly, she quickly distanced herself from Romon, and then opened her mouth, “Yan lock!”

Romon was about to speak, but suddenly found himself unable to speak.

Language lock, lock the other party’s language ability?

Romon looked surprised.

This guy’s ability is a bit weird. If you use this ability to target those awakened and incantation awakened, wouldn’t it be beneficial? Disgusting the other party directly.

However, this ability now seems to only make people unable to speak, which is basically useless to Romon.

But at this time, the cheongsam woman said again: “Body lock!”

Romon suddenly felt that his limbs were heavier and heavier, and every move was extremely difficult.

There was a sneer on the face of the cheongsam woman: “However, if you dare to come alone after entering the third rank, it is too despising for us.”

She oh la la and let go A cheongsam.

Romon was surprised, he thought it was something like a new charm, and was about to try to see how his own concentration was, but who knew that this guy simply didn’t play cards according to the routine, looking at the graceful Under the body, there is actually a skin full of holes. The skins were rotting, and some were still oozing thick green water.

But the most obvious feature is the coins on the opponent’s skin.

Densely packed coins, embedded in her skin, sank into the flesh and glued to the fascia.

These coins are not from a single country.

Romon glanced briefly and saw the currencies of at least several countries.

The High State Alliance, the Broom Empire, and the Austrian Spirit Emperor, all three Northern Continent countries have coins, as well as coins of some small countries, as well as those ancient coins that once existed in history.

These currencies are densely packed and embedded in the body, making people feel extremely evil and disgusting.

Romon doesn’t know what the Dark Tide King this guy worships is, but judging from her body, the thing that believes in this thing is really not a human being.

After the cheongsam woman took off her clothes, she looked towards Romon with a sneer, with an expression like you were already dead.

She reached out and touched her abdomen, and pulled out a bloody coin, with some bloody muscles torn from it.

Immediately after, she threw the coin forward and exploded in mid-air, with countless metal fragments rushing towards Romon.

Romon’s eye-opening wacky attacks.

The other party seems to be having a good time!

But well…

Romon’s eyes sank, white smoke billowed from his body, his body shrunk, his muscles bulged, and he instantly entered a fighting state.

Burning fat!

This is his new combination of fat-burning gymnastics, triathlon, and mixed martial arts, and is named as the fat-burning state.

The huge power in his body instantly made Romon break free from the shackles of the opponent’s ability.

The cheongsam woman is also clearly aware of this.

There was a look of disbelief in her eyes, and she pulled out a coin again. The bright red blood sprayed on it, and the coin burst into countless pieces and rushed towards Romon.

A burst of jingo clashing sounded.

Romon had ash-gray scales on his hands, blocked all the fragments, and then roared forward, the sudden mental shock made the woman look dazed for a while.

Seize this opportunity.

Romon stepped out with an explosive punch on the cheongsam woman.

oh la la.

A harsh rubbing sound is heard.

The coin on the chest of the woman in the cheongsam was interrupted, revealing vague flesh and blood.

Chi chi’s corrosive sound rang from her skin, and the corrosive psychic blasted into her body and began to work immediately.

“You clearly cultivation is the Meditation Method, why?” The woman stepped back quickly, her eyes filled with an incredible look of shock.

“Because of my Innate Divine Strength!”

Romon grinned, stepping on his feet, keeping up with lightning-like speed, and punching out a blast like a hurricane.

The coins embedded in the woman’s skin were blown apart one by one.

They resist Romon’s attacks, and the blasted shards keep fighting back, trying to pierce Romon’s skin.

But this is doomed to be useless.

The fat-burning state and the rock snake scale armor allow Romon to punch without any scruples. And using the force of the twisted tendons, once it hits, a large piece of flesh and blood will be scraped off the opponent.

Knight’s Six Skills – Breaking Water, Twisting Ribs, Wind Treading, Unmoving Mountain, Furious Strike, and Heart Return.

Each skill is a martial skill of thousands hammers, hundred refinements in actual combat.

Although Romon is only familiar with the first three skills now, it is more than enough to deal with the one in front of him.

It’s just that third rank awakened wasn’t that easy to kill.

The terrifying fist wind ran through the body, punching several terrifying blood holes in the chest of the cheongsam woman. She swallowed it, and her flesh swelled rapidly.

Romon stepped a little, and directly retreated more than ten meters. He pulled out the pistol pinned to his waist far away, and shot two flame bullets.

peng~ peng~!

The cheongsam woman burst into two flames.

The burnt smell of the roast came, but it didn’t stop the mutation process.

I saw her body swell up rapidly, landing on all fours, her two thighs became thick and strong, but her forelimbs began to degenerate, becoming short and lean.

The rotten skin turned completely black.

The coins embedded in her skin became bulging pustules one after another, expanding and contracting with her breathing, like a beating heart one after another.

Toad!

This animal suddenly appeared in Romon’s mind.

The opponent’s movements are almost identical to Toad’s.

But the appearance is countless times uglier than the real toad, and the foul-smelling black liquid continuously spewed from the pustules, falling on the ground, corroding trees and flowers.

“Damn, gu gu… You made me look so ugly, you have to die!”

The woman’s body several times larger was crawling on the ground, with two fist-sized eyes Sick green, staring venomously at Romon, green pus oozing out of it.

gu lu.

She gave a strange cry, kicked her legs, and charged straight.

“Die!”

The woman’s ugly cheeks glowed fiercely, and the corners of her mouth cracked into an exaggerated arc, inside which were rows of sharp fangs, trying to tear them apart completely Romon.

The shadow of death strikes.

“The python transformation!”

Romon burst out with terror, his whole body suddenly expanded, his bulging arms were pinched together, and he was rushing towards the human-shaped toad. body smashed down.

“Muscle power explosion · inch kill!!”

The two collided suddenly.

It’s like stepping on a balloon full of black liquid.

The human-shaped toad was beaten to pieces by this fist in midair, and all kinds of flesh and blood tissue, along with a large amount of coins, fell from the in midair.

In the silent night.

Romon twisted his wrists, looked towards the woman with only two calves left, horrified, and spit out a foul breath: “If you die and still explode gold coin, you will have fun with the dark tide. ”

Darkness.

Elise, who has been paying attention to the battle, covered her mouth with shock and confusion in her eyes.

The smell on the other person was terrifying, but she couldn’t believe the answer in her heart. This Demon God-like man, and the Romon in her memory, were completely incompatible with each other!
