Chapter 1415 fifty-seven. The fire in Meishan Town

As if the strange fog has not dissipated, the dense fog shrouded Meishan Town, and it was turned orange red by the fire.

“We’re overwhelmed and the coal mountain is burning.”

The dark eight-handed disciple said to Lu Li who had arrived.

The smog is the smoke formed by the burning of coal mountains. It is pungent and highly toxic, and it is almost invisible on the street.

Like the “snowflakes” like goose feathers falling from the sky, only when they are crushed away do they return to the gray and black reality.

“Where’s the patron saint of Coal Mountain Town?”

After the Land of Light is on the right track, the evil gods are subdivided into the alien gods, evil gods, and patron saints.

The dark believer who looked like Ophelia and a miner who lived underground for several months whispered bitterly: “He can’t do anything, he can only protect us from being buried in the flames…”

“The Bright Lands will help you put out the fire in Coal Hill Town.”

Facing Lu Li’s promise, the oracle of the guardian **** of Meishan Town said from the mouth of the believers: If Lu Li puts Meishan Town in danger, they will help the Land of Light to fight against the swamp.

The Mother of the Swamp rejected this exchange on Lu Li’s behalf: He hoped that “Land of Light will solve the crisis for Meishan Town, and Meishan Town will contribute to the world”, rather than a simple exchange: “Land of Light will help Meishan Town, and Meishan Town must help return.”

Lu Li sent the news back to the Land of Light. The Twisted Shadow needs to sit in the town, so the priests and believers under his command went to Meishan Town.

Heathen against heathen is an ancient truth—but there are exceptions in the Lightlands, especially since they came to save Coal Hill.

While the believers were gathering, Lu Li left the town to investigate the burning situation. The believers in Meishan Town are not lying, the patron saint can only protect the surrounding area of ​​the town, the land a little further away is shining with a purgatory-like dark red luster, and there are depressions and poisonous smoke rising from collapses everywhere, as if the world is burning.

The open-pit coal mine where the Coal Mountain Station is located is full of criticism… If there is a dispute with the enemy, they don’t even need to attack, they just need to ignite the coal mountain, like now.

Lu Li returned to Meishan Town and found that the Twisted Cultists had brought the God of the Deep Sea—He was swimming in the fish tank, circling against the tank wall because of Lu Li’s arrival.

No one realizes that this aquarium fish-like life was once the apex of the world—

“Why bring him here?”

“My lord thinks that the **** of the deep sea needs to grow up, and he will help us extinguish the fire faster.”

The **** of the deep sea is like a spring, and his existence will make it easier for believers to brew sea water.

About 200 distorted believers gathered, and their chants overwhelmingly occupied Coal Mountain Town, but neither the local residents nor the believers objected to this heretical prayer—because the “snowflakes” melted and black rain fell from the sky.

The townspeople pushed open the windows, and then the dark rainwater retreated behind the windows, and then there was the sound of coughing and spitting.

Rainwater is salty.

The land on the street became wet, but the rain outside Coal Mountain Town evaporated in an instant, and it couldn’t even fall on the ground.

The drizzling rain gradually intensified.

The seawater will get bigger and bigger until it completely extinguishes the burning coal mountain.

Lu Li asked the believers in Meishan Town to go to the church to pray, to accumulate strength for the patron saint, because Meishan Town would have to face a terrifying heat wave next, and then he asked the Land of Light to bring in a group of demons.

Torrential rain came in a blink of an eye. Washed away by the falling ashes, the seawater returned to its original color, gathered along the ditch, and turned into a torrent rushing out of Meishan Town.

The humid area is slowly spreading outward and underground along Meishan Town, while the seawater evaporates to form a purgatory steamer that covers the town and steams flesh and blood in an instant.

But just fine for **** demons.

Lu Li let them look for the hot burning leylines based on the instinct of life in hell, and let the Twisted Cultists extinguish them along the trail-the dark fire underground can destroy Coal Mountain Town more than the flames on the surface.

The torrential rain that fell only in Meishan Town continued without any sign of stopping. The deep rain replaced the smoke, and as they seeped into the ground, they extinguished the flames, formed steam and re-gathered the rain clouds, forming a continuous virtuous circle.

Lu Li is not used here for the time being.

Under the assurance that the believers would go to Midnight City, Lu Li left Coal Mountain Town and came to the Cape of Storms.

The coldness, which is the opposite of the sultry heat, took away the heat. Lu Li stepped on the pontoon after high tide to the core church of Cape of Storms, and found those church members who were showing embarrassment.

They couldn’t help Lu Li.

The Cape of Storms is neither in danger nor lack of manpower, it’s just that it can’t help—Midnight City is inland, and there are no vast lakes for them to stir up storms.

However, because of Lu Li’s arrival, Horn of Storm decided to ask the priest to lead some believers to Midnight City to help.

Before Lu Li left the Cape of Storms to go to the next place, the businessman Anthony brought news from Midnight City: “We already know what happened in Meishan Town. Some believers have come… Finally, there is good news.”

“What’s the bad news?”

“A lot. For example, the series of disasters scared the weird, and they rushed to flee after we arrived. Claire and the others said that the World Tree was tilting… The swamp may have started to move. For example, New Leaf Town just rejected us.”

“Devil’s contract is not enough?”

Sincere Demon is still in Midnight City, so there should be no shortage of contracts.

“The rope should only be put around the neck of a sheep or a horse.”

The devil’s contract cannot restrain those powerful monsters. The reins are always on the necks of slaves and brutes, not allies.

But the Swamp Mother says they’re getting exposed to the real weirdness that can affect the outcome. Such as Dark Park, Flesh Lair, Lake Maelstrom, Crooked Spire, and the power of the old sewers.

“Has Girls Grace Church agreed to support?” Lu Li thought of them.

“I was about to tell you that we suddenly lost contact with them…”

Lu Li wrote down the question and continued to ask, “What’s going on in Xinye Town?”

“I don’t know, New Leaf Town just rejected us, and didn’t say why.”

“I’m in the corner of the storm, now go to New Leaf Town, after contacting these allies, I will go back to the old sewer to find the Girl’s Grace Church.”

“good luck.”

…

New Leaf Town is not an ally in the strict sense. Although it maintains trade relations with the Lightlands, it is still far from an ally.

A simple assumption: if the Brightlands are attacked, Newleaf won’t help. vice versa.

And the patron saint of New Leaf Town has some prejudices—he thinks that the Land of Light is invading the Night City, not protecting the world, and he cannot realize the danger of the swamp—

Regardless of humans or alien gods, they cannot imagine existence beyond common sense.

“The swamp has awakened and hunted down the king of the ghouls, who will next touch Midnight City.”

So when Lu Li confides the crisis to the local gods, he doesn’t care what happens in the distant dark wilderness—it’s too far away from them, and—

“I can’t believe you…”

The **** who possessed him for sacrifice answered Lu Li.

Lu Li was not surprised, and calmly narrated:

“My cursed title is ‘Dreamer’, and the dream will tell you what is happening in Midnight City.”
