Following the corpse, in less than a few seconds, it transformed from a slightly fat human male into a purgatory-blooded Tiefling with horns on his head, a tail on his back, and red skin.

The sudden change stunned everyone present!

Even those guys whose vision had begun to blur and whose consciousness was in a hazy state suddenly woke up a lot.

No one knew what was going on, let alone how a beautiful and frail woman could tell that there was something wrong with the bartender's identity.

At this moment, the entire tavern was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Especially the guy who just said so many dirty words was so frightened that his pants got wet.

However, the woman had obviously been used to such scenes for a long time. In a very elegant manner, she bent down and pulled out the dagger from the corpse's eye socket, shook off the blood stains on it, pursed her lips and asked with a half-smile: "Is it possible?

Aren't you planning to show up yet? Or do you think your identity has not been revealed yet and you can continue to hide it? Don't be naive! The smell of fireworks and sulfur from Baator Hell can be detected even from a few hundred meters away

You can smell it."

As these words blurted out, several guys who were sitting near the bar drinking one second removed their disguises and revealed their true colors the next.

Some of them are simply devils pretending to be devils, while others have very obvious characteristics of purgatory bloodline like the dead bartender.

Although in many big cities, such hybrids with alien blood are not too rare, but if they gather in a tavern at the same time, anyone who is not a fool will realize that there is a problem.

In order to protect themselves from danger, almost everyone who could move in the tavern rushed towards the door as fast as possible.

Even the drunkard, who was unable to walk normally under the influence of alcohol, still stumbled and rolled onto the street outside.

Only Drizzt and Bruno did not move, still sitting in an inconspicuous corner, wanting to see what all this was going on.

"Who are you? Why are you going against us?" A mixed-blood devil who was suspected to be the leader of the team narrowed his eyes and asked.

The woman gently stroked the hair of the half-orc girl next to her, pursed her lips and revealed a sarcastic and mocking smile: "You are here to collect information about the goddess's chosen people, secretly plotting a conspiracy against him, and you actually have the nerve to ask me why I want to follow you.

Against?"

"You are from the Church of the Goddess of Poison and Disease!" The hybrid demon's pupils suddenly shrank.

"Church? No, no, no, I am the messenger sent by the goddess herself, and I am also the one who rings the death knell for you. Now, come and feel the anger of Talona!"

With the last word blurted out, the woman finally shed her disguise and revealed her succubus posture.

She is none other than Ulrika, who came to the material world from the goddess kingdom not long ago.

The half-orc girl next to her is Corinna, who lost her mother and has just returned to the civilized world with the escape team.

"Poison Witch?!"

The expression of the leader of the mixed-blood demon suddenly changed.

Obviously, as one of the few demons who abandoned their chaotic nature and became a fanatical believer in the goddess of poison and disease, Ulrika has long been on the attention list of major forces, including hell.

Especially her superb poison-using skills have solved a lot of troubles for Talona.

But unfortunately, it's too late.

Ulrika raised her hand and waved her finger gently in the air. All the devils and half-devils present began to see black blood uncontrollably from their eyes, noses and mouths, and then one after another

One fell to the ground and lost the ability to resist.

Those purebred devils are okay, they can return to hell and be reborn even if they die, but mixed-blood tieflings have no second life once they die.

So they struggled desperately, trying to take out the antidote potion from their bodies and drink it.

But the moment the potion was taken out, the succubus immediately waved the whip in his hand, smashing these precious potions one by one, admiring the mixture of anger and despair on the other person's face, and walked up to one of the purebred devils.

In front of him, he whispered in the other person's ear: "In the name of Talona, ​​tell Archduke Dispater for me not to stretch his hand so long, otherwise the consequences will be very serious."

"You will regret it! Devil!" The devil threatened with two pale yellow eyes.

This time Ulrika didn't say any nonsense, but raised her foot and stepped on it hard.

Bang!

After a muffled sound, the devil's head, which was poisoned, was stepped on and smashed to pieces.

The other demons and half-devils also died quickly under the rapid power of the poison, and not even one escaped by chance.

Such efficient, cruel and bloody killings undoubtedly frightened the ordinary people outside the tavern.

Amid their screams and shouts, the guards responsible for maintaining order in the city quickly rushed over and surrounded the scene.

After seeing the deceased and the assailant clearly, the captain of the guard gasped instantly. He did not dare to enter the tavern at all. Instead, he stood at the door and shouted in a nervous tone: "Devil! You committed the murder in public and offended Luz.

According to the law of Kan, it is best to put down your weapons immediately and surrender, and perhaps accept the fair trial of the law. Otherwise, when the support from the mage tower arrives, you will be handed over to them for disposal."

"I am the messenger of Talona, ​​the goddess of poison and disease. Are you sure you want to arrest me?"

Ulrika smiled and lifted up her cloak to reveal the holy symbol worn on her armor.

Instantly!

The guard captain was stunned. He opened his mouth several times to say something, but in the end he swallowed it all.

He is not a fool. He understands that Eric is only a nominal supreme leader. In fact, he does not have much jurisdiction over either the army or the administrative agencies. And who is the elector of the goddess of poison and disease, Thos?

The supreme master of this city.

Looking at the Church of Talona that has suddenly popped up in Luskan and the huge temple under construction, it is not difficult to judge that it will definitely become a powerful force that cannot be ignored in the future.

Therefore, no one wants to offend these church forces that may be closely related to Soth, and even pastors and priests have a green light for public preaching.

Also receiving special treatment and seeing a huge increase in followers is the Church of the Goddess of Magic.

What's more, those who died were not civilians or ordinary people, but devils and half-devils who could tell at a glance that they had a conspiracy.

In the end, the guard captain did not dare to embarrass the succubus, and allowed it to change back to its human appearance and walk out of the main entrance, then disappeared at the end of a dark alley in the distance.

As soon as Ulrika left with the little orc girl, several mages came through the energy provided by the mage tower.

When they saw the black blood and corpses on the ground, they immediately asked the guards: "What happened here?"

"It was a succubus disguised as a human being who suddenly killed these devils and half-devils disguised as humans. She claimed to be the messenger of Talona, ​​the goddess of poison and disease, and also showed us the holy symbol." Captain.

He quickly told what he knew about the situation.

"Talona's messenger?" The mage showed a shocked expression.

Another mage seemed to have remembered something and hurriedly reminded: "Three days ago, a similar case seemed to have occurred in Howling Wolf Town. According to the description of the locals, there was also a charmer with a half-orc girl.

The demon walked into a local farmer's house and killed him in full view. After death, the body transformed into a blood-refined tiefling within a few seconds."

"You mean... is it really possible that this succubus is a messenger of the goddess and is hunting the devil's spies on our territory?"

"It's hard to say, I think the possibility is not low. In short, let's report it first and then talk about it."

"Ugh - I hate dealing with these dangerous poisonous corpses."

Soon, after several mages discussed it, they unanimously decided to take the body back and report the matter.

Since most of them are wandering mages who have recently been attracted by various salaries and benefits, their loyalty to the organization is not high, and their mentality is that more is worse than less.

It is best for Luskan to be quiet and not cause any trouble related to magic, curses, or invasion of alien creatures, so that you can stay in the mage tower safely and engage in study and research.

Just as the mage and the guards were working together to deal with the murder scene, Ulrika had already arrived several streets away.

At this moment, she looked like a traveler, without any excitement or nervousness due to the killing just now.

He even bought a lot of kebabs on the roadside and stuffed them into the half-orc girl Corinna who was following him.

"Here, let's eat it while it's hot. After eating, we'll go to the next place and clean up all these rats."

"Thank...thank you!"

Due to the influence of her human mother, Corinna is obviously not as rude and unreasonable as other orcs, but instead gives people a shy feeling.

She is obviously afraid of the murderous demon in front of her, but she doesn't know what she can do after leaving him, whether she can survive in this cruel world and fulfill her mother's instructions before she died.

At least now, she can get enough and delicious food from the other party without having to worry about being kidnapped and sold by those with bad intentions.

The barren, barren and cold Northland has never been a paradise on earth.

Quite the opposite!

This is a breeding ground for crime and conspiracy, and a paradise for all kinds of monsters, bandits, slave traders, and unscrupulous businessmen.

Although she has only returned to civilized society for a few days, the half-orc girl has already deeply felt that the living environment is more dangerous and harsh than that in the mountains of the Spine of the World.

When she thought of this, she immediately raised the skewer, bit off a piece of slightly blanched venison from the wooden skewer, and chewed it hard so that her stomach could digest and absorb it better.

Only in this way can we grow and develop quickly and gain enough strength to protect ourselves.

Just as Corinna was walking and devouring her food, Ulrika suddenly stopped without warning and cast her gaze to the corner behind her: "Come out, stop hiding, I know you have been following me."<

/p>

The words have not yet been spoken!

Drizzt and Bruno walked out of the corner one after another.

Obviously, they had been following the succubus since he left the tavern, trying to figure out what was going on.

Especially the dark elves, who know very well about demons and other lower-plane creatures, are extremely vigilant against the appearance of any demon.

After a brief silence, Drizzt took the lead, put one hand on his chest, bowed and explained: "Dear lady, please don't misunderstand us, we are not here to cause trouble."
