Deep in the Living

Chapter 304 Harvest
Buzz!
A large number of flies suddenly flew into the sewer. In addition to the buzzing sound of the flies themselves, there were also bursts of sharp sounds of metal armor.

"Are the flies... coming?"

Agatha leaned against the wall. The attack had obviously consumed a lot of her energy, and there were still deep cuts all over her body.

She was chewing the crystal food given by Kalain, quickly recovering her strength. There was even a green light emitting from the wound area to assist in the healing process.

However, her expression was not good.

She thought that those coming were just some Tumor Soldiers, but she didn't expect them to be such extremely troublesome creatures, each of which was enough to take her life.

Looking in the direction of the fly,
A pair of rusty metal boots stepped out from the corner of the sewer, followed by a moldy one-piece armor. Fly eggs and crawling maggots could be seen between the gaps in the armor.

Slender and elongated armor form,
The helmet has a long mouth structure extending forward.
The cape on the back of the armor is also present in the wing structure, as if the cape is connected to their body and is part of the body.

Plague Knight

The knight units of the original pus, each of them has achieved the existence of ascended magic. During this period, they happened to be stationed in the Umbilical Port, and they quickly rushed over when they saw that the important sewers were destroyed.

The leader was carrying a cross-shaped sword on his back. The metal scabbard was covered with proliferating blood vessels, weaving symbols related to the plague curse.

With the arrival of Plague Knight,
Agatha directly showed the wanted poster.

At the same time, he also pointed to Corleone, who was lying on the ground with only one-third of his body left.

Plague Knight immediately scanned the area with his compound eyes, and after verifying that everything was correct, he did not make any difficult moves. According to the rules of Hell, no one would be held responsible for the damage to the area caused by the outbreak of a fight due to a wanted order.

Moreover, provoking monks for no reason is one of the stupidest things you can do in the real hell.

Just as the knights were about to leave and notify the repairman to come over to work,

Buzz!
A fly flying around seemed to have caught a suspicious gap in the wall, and also smelled a strange smell through the gap.

Plague Knight stopped decisively, turned around and approached the suspicious gap in the door.

Just as they were about to get closer, two figures suddenly walked out from the corner, and the swarm of flies approached immediately.

Karen was slowly walking out, supporting the seriously injured Rody.

"Uncle Sarath."

Standard demon language came from under the Plague Knight's helmet, "Kalen? Why are you here?"

"Under Lord Eye's arrangement, I no longer have to work as a lighthouse keeper. I now need to follow this Rody messenger to the dark side.

We just worked together with Sister Agatha to kill the wanted criminals in this area."

"Ok?"

The Plague Knight Commander was no longer paying attention to the cracks in the wall discovered by the fly, but was attracted by Rody, the messenger with a strange appearance and exuding various auras.

“The Black Spine Messenger, the Hell Monk… a dual hell creature system, and they are also life forms from outside the domain.

Not only was there the nun's escort, but Karen also joined in. There must be a high-level arrangement behind this, and it must be a very high-level one. However, no matter who arranged it.

When you return by ship, if there is no Calen on board and you are the only one alive, I will carry out the ultimate infection in the name of the original pus."

"Ok."

Seeing Rody nod calmly in affirmation, the Plague Knight didn't say much and turned away.

Only when the sound of flies completely disappeared did Rody relax completely. The secret room was almost discovered... Once discovered, all Rody's plans would come to nothing.

"Thank you, Karen."

"It's okay. This is something you fought so hard to win, Mr. Di. It would be inappropriate to hand it over.

Besides, Uncle Sarath is actually a very good person. He is very capable, but he was sent to Umbilical Harbor because of some ideological issues. "

"Ah."

Kallain continued to grow edible crystals from his palms. Rody quickly took and ate the chocolate-like thing. His spine immediately received energy supplements and his injuries began to heal faster.

If Kalain hadn't joined this battle, the outcome would have been unpredictable.
The three-man team walked up the stairs and came to Corleone's underground secret room again, looking at the biological instrument in front of them that was constructed with the skulls of dozens of insects.

It was the first time Agatha saw this design and was completely shocked. She also roughly guessed the special route Corleone wanted to take.

"This guy Corleone wants to abandon his identity as a Spine, or he wants to find another way to pursue the development of his brain! Once he succeeds in ascending to magic in this way, he will become a very special Spine, similar to the [Eye] among you Spine.

Developing collateral features of the brain with spinal support.

However, it seems unlikely that he alone could create such a biological instrument.

I have never seen anything like it in the Abbey library; someone must have told him to do it or he must have gotten the plans from somewhere."

Just as Agatha said this, Rody had already taken out a piece of yellowed parchment from his pocket.

What is recorded on the parchment is the design drawing of this skull setting.

It's called "The Road of Killings and Skulls".

Not only did he draw the specific shape of the instrument, but he also wrote down the connection methods of each piece of the skull and the production process in detail. He also clearly mentioned the need to kill the insects and use fresh skulls for production.

On the back of the parchment is a strange mark - "Melting Gold Skull Scale"

1. A lava skull with liquid gold flowing from its eye sockets.

2. There is a devil horn balance on the top of the head, the left tray is a scepter, and the right tray is silver coins.

Agatha recognized the meaning of the mark at a glance, "This is... something from the Hell Chamber of Commerce! It's a valuable "door manuscript". No wonder this guy can make such a thing by himself, it turns out he has the support of the door manuscript.

This kind of manuscript is very expensive, shouldn't he be able to afford it? After all, he is just an exiled spine, where can his contribution come from? Wait, could it be that..."

Agatha quickly examined Corleone's mutilated body and found the caravan's mark on the back of his head, which had not been discovered before because of its dirty hair.

"This guy signed a loan contract with the merchant guild! Once he completes his magic upgrade, he will be forced to go to the merchant guild and work for them to pay off his debts. Moreover, this kind of debt often takes years or even decades to pay off.

of course,

Only potential individuals certified by the Chamber of Commerce can apply for [loans]. Ordinary people are not even qualified to negotiate terms.

This guy is really a genius. If he hadn't happened to meet us, he would have been able to complete his demon upgrade in less than a week, and his deeds would have been recorded in the real hell later."

Rody seemed not to have heard a word of Agatha's explanation.

His eyes always stayed on the design drawing.

"It's a shame that the device would be completed if it only had one insect skull."

"Roddy, you don't want to..." Agatha smelled something uneasy.

“That won’t happen. I am not interested in this method of demon upgrading, and I will not attack innocent people.

I just wanted to see Corleone's door.

After all, he was signing a loan agreement.
After several more years of hiding in the depths of the stinking sewers,
And taking great risks, killing the insects passing by,
His body had already decayed before he fought us. Perhaps once he ascends to demon status, he will be able to completely get rid of his current body.

According to what was written on the parchment, outsiders should also be able to put on the skull and go to the "door" that existed between the instrument's consciousness.

I'm going to take a look.
If any problems occur to my body during this period, please destroy the equipment immediately."

"Okay... Luo Di, you wanted this device from the beginning, right? That's why you deliberately led this guy out of the secret room and chose to kill him in the sewer area."

"I want to see more, special, other people's doors, and get as much inspiration as possible."

"Well go ahead. I'll use the metal vibrations in your body to determine if the equipment needs to be destroyed."

Rody walked towards the instrument without any hesitation, while Agatha stood by and waited quietly.

As for Karen, he seemed a little sleepy and fell asleep directly on the dirty and messy bed.
