City Hall Square.
When Roger arrived.
This place was already packed with people.
The ordinary people who had heard the news surrounded the square so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through.
Inside the square.
The doors and windows of all the rooms in the city Hall building were tightly shut.
Roger sensed it.
Most of the doors and windows had been nailed shut from the inside.
But even so …
The people in the castle-like building were also shrouded in fear.
Towards all this.
Roger wasn’t surprised.
On the way here.
He specially selected a few citizens to have in-depth negotiations.
Under the effect of deception and bread.
He now had a general understanding of the city and the current situation.
To Lotus city.
Chaos was not normal.
The city used to be prosperous …
The first fuse was famine.
Even the people at the bottom of the hierarchy clearly knew.
The fall of Lotus city was due to the rise of the blood of filth in the South.
Ever since then.
The blood worshippers that swarmed out of the southern Cemetery occupied the main road from Lotus city to the North.
Under the isolation of the blood mist.
Lotus city had lost the granary that they had been operating in the southern
Cemetery for nearly a hundred years.
Hunger started to spread.
The people were forced to turn their attention back to the sea.
However, not long after the blood mist appeared …
The black fog on the sea also became thicker by the day!
Many of the fishing boats that had ventured out to sea never returned after entering the black fog.
All of this pushed Lotus city into the abyss.
The land.
The ocean.
As time passed …
There was no more space to feed the huge population of the city.
At the same time.
The power of the blood worshippers had also begun to invade the city from the southern Cemetery.
The old Mayor, who had been addicted to ‘illusion’ and ‘ecstasy powder’ in recent years, was beaten to death by the blood sanctify sect in his own mansion half a month ago.
The rest of the officials managed to maintain order in the city Hall.
But once the chaos was ignited …
It was like a wildfire spreading through the city.
The situation was beyond their control.
The population of Lotus city was quite large.
As such, the city did not lack capable nobles or generals.
They were only afraid.
They were afraid of the two driving forces behind the famine and chaos.
It didn’t matter if it was a blood mist or a black mist.
Behind each of them stood a God that they could only look up to!
The people of Lotus city had tried it before.
However …
After the chief Archmage and the Knights of glory died one after another …
The remaining courage in their hearts was extinguished.
Smart people had long realized that the city had been reduced to a battlefield.
The saddest thing was .
They did not belong to either side of the war.
They were only nourishment for the war.
With the support of the blood of ten thousand filth.
The fearless blood sanctum’s followers were advancing toward their goal step by step.
And the only thing in the city that could fight against them was the ” black fog believers “, whose reputation was even worse.
In the early years.
When Lotus city was still considered prosperous.
The group of black fog believers from the deep sea had stirred up trouble many times.
However, the great mage had taken the lead to suppress them several times.
But unfortunately …
That was all in the past.
The current Lotus city had completely lost its Guardian and had become a piece of fat meat that the two ancient evil beings were fighting over.
Those who had a way had already escaped.
The rest of the people were muddleheaded.
Or they would be in the same boat.
There were also people who were silently waiting for the day the city was destroyed.
As for hope.
It was a term that had long been forgotten by the residents of Lotus city.
Every sober person Roger talked to advised him to leave at the end of the conversation.
It could be seen from this.
How much despair had the city fallen into?
[ extraordinary perception: you have noticed that the ‘sub-body of the God of tainted blood’ is greedily absorbing the despair, hunger, pain, numbness, and other negative emotions of the residents in the city … ]
[ knowledge (divinity): you have read in a book of the sea serpent church that ’emotions are a power to the gods’ ]
create famines, spread panic, and induce people to actively destroy order …
no wonder the system, which has always been quiet, triggered the ‘demon-slaying mission’.
“The ancient evil creatures really can’t be trusted.”
At the edge of the square.
Roger’s mind was clear.
The blood of ten thousand filth and endless touch were playing open cards …
They wanted to harvest the “emotional power” from the people of Lotus city.
The infighting of the ancient evil beings was at most an internal struggle caused by an uneven distribution.
Their essence and methods were the same.
And in most places in Mystra.
The ancient evil creature’s harvesting methods were indeed unsolvable.
They were able to survive the last round of the forbidden spell.
Compared to the humans and other races whose civilization had almost been cut off, this advantage was too great!
It was difficult for humans and other races to produce strong enough powerhouses to compete with them in a short period of time.
From their skillful harvesting techniques …
The ancient evil creatures had already formed a streamlined pattern in doing this.
It was no wonder that Roger had felt that all the evil gods he had met were similar.
That was because they were indeed operating according to a similar model!
the ancient evil creature harvested the emotions. Perhaps it wanted to increase its strength to fight against the forbidden spell of destruction.
in that case, the humans of the previous generations might not have been killed by the forbidden spell of extinction. It’s possible that they were squeezed dry by the ancient evil creatures before the forbidden spell of extinction came
