For most residents of Brighton, this city in its rapid development period is warm. It has given them jobs, lovers, friends and homes. But for a small number of residents, Brighton is a warm place.
It is just a temporary umbrella to avoid a bigger crisis. In the unknown parts of Brighton City, there is only darkness and danger, especially for wizards and criminals who live among normal people. The cold city only brings them a sense of indifference.
.
Arthur has never regarded the city of Brighton as his home. In the past, his home was only the place where the Charity House family lived, but now it is also the place where Mrs. Inno and Elise are. There used to be countless
Late at night, Arthur would stand at the window of his room and look out at the dark night. What is the life he wants, what is the home he wants? Arthur thinks about this every night. What he once wanted when he was young
He only cares and becomes stronger. After being deceived by Parrish into becoming a wizard, he was forced to have more ideas, protect himself, protect familiar people, work hard for the wizard's living space, and make his fists stronger.
Only on early spring nights, Arthur would look at the different colors of moonlight or darkness in the sky and ask himself, is it really meaningful to live like this? He also had the idea of giving up everything, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep forever, but
As long as you close your eyes, you will see the painful shouts of the villagers of Green Village, the eyes of your parents when they let you escape, Captain Buchington who entrusted you to your family and let you live, let you investigate Docmundo who transformed the elf warrior, and...
With the dwarf Hobik being smashed into the ground in front of his eyes, Arthur couldn't sleep peacefully. Arthur didn't have to worry too much about Buchington's family. The captain's former comrades were all assisting him, and he also had a blank.
The check was later written with 20,000 Ed and sent to Buchington's wife in the name of an anonymous person.
The tragedy of Green Village and his parents only had the name of the rival organization, and with the help of Hobik, Old Ford and others, he learned that many of the disputes affecting various races were behind them. But now many
The things that Quemundo entrusted to him before his death have also become clearer. The transformation people who suddenly appeared in Brighton City are similar to Docmundo in some places, but also have differences. The transformation people of the elves are only in physical strength and mental strength.
have been processed, and the modified people who appeared in Brighton City used the ancient dwarf engraving technique to completely copy the strong men who had appeared. Johns continued to send information to Arthur within half a month. In recent days, many Brighton people have
Celebrities in Dun City were attacked, and the behind-the-scenes seemed to be related to the cyborgs. According to the letter sent by Jess, there were a total of 20 cyborg vessels deep in the sewer factory of the abandoned industrial park, and there were still three cyborgs.
vessel, and the transformers in the other seventeen vessels have been dispatched.
Arthur still doesn't know the purpose of the appearance of the Cyborg, but based on the conversation between Elise and himself, Arthur can speculate that the Cyborg has the same philosophy as the Night Walker, and is killing people in order to create an equal world.
A noble and wealthy man. In Arthur's opinion, this was a meaningless killing. His hands were stained with a lot of blood, but most of them were for self-protection, to protect those close to him, and for revenge. In addition,
Everyone has their own way of life, just like Arthur will not stop George from becoming a soldier, will not easily stop Jace from killing sinners for his beliefs, and will not interfere with other people's lives without authorization. The philosophy of Night Walker happens to be Arthur
On the contrary, they believe that as long as all living beings act according to their ideas, there will be no barriers in the world.
But Arthur understands that the current Hermit Society does not have the strength to break into the city lord's mansion fifty years ago, and the Hermit Society has no way to obtain the ancient dwarf engraving technique to transform humans. The Dark Night Walker is not an existence that the current Hermit Society can provoke.
After Arthur ordered to notify all members of the Hermitage of Cyborg No. 18, he walked alone in the hall. The current situation was already dire. Jess's letter was sent as early as yesterday, and they went to the sewer two days ago.
The thing is, it is still unknown whether Cyborg No. 18 has stepped out of the Cyborg vessel.
"Arthur...Andrew asked if he needs to come back?" Mrs. Inno received a response after notifying Temaxiu with a collar button. The dwarf collar button is one of the most precious properties of the Hermit Society. It was owned by the Hermit Society in the beginning.
The dwarfs wore the collars of Parrish, Johns, Mrs. Eno, Elise, Temathew and Vic Jarvis. Later, Elise gave her collar to Arthur, but fought for it in the North District.
A collar button was lost when a relic of the old god contained the Seed of Hope, and then Vic Jarvis's collar button was given to Angelina, and the current Hermit Society's contact network was established.
"No need, it will take at least ten days to wait for him to come back. We can't interfere in this matter anymore. While we haven't completely intervened in this matter yet, I have to ask Johns to stop searching..." Arthur turned back
Looking at Angelina, he found that she was sweating profusely and had been contacting Johns. Arthur's back felt cold, and he quickly snatched Angelina's collar button, thought of Johns' elemental power with his mind, and injected it into
After using his elemental power, he shouted to his collar: "Johns! Johns!" There was no response from the other party for five minutes.
Elise also walked out of her room and looked worriedly at Arthur, who was constantly in contact. The situation seemed not right, and Johns would never fail to reply to the badge for so long.
"I'll go to Johns' residence in the East District. Elise, go find Guy! Then go to the arbitration office to see what's going on at the arbitration office!" Arthur pulled apart his pajamas and put on a black formal coat for going out.
Wearing a dome hat that covered his face, he hurriedly slid down the iron spiral staircase and rushed out of the mansion.
...
When Arthur arrived at the cockroach house where Johns lived in the East End, many law enforcement teams were already surrounding the place and setting up a cordon. Many skinny workers were asking the law enforcement teams about the situation downstairs in their apartments.
Arthur stood at the edge of the crowd, looking up at the apartment building with large water stains outside the wall. The sound of his heart beating could be heard by everyone around him. This was... elemental power... Arthur used his restlessness to
The crowd went around to the other side of the apartment building, where there were also three officers in black and white penguin-like uniforms of the law enforcement team who were using element detection sticks to detect where the elemental power was concentrated.
After the three people entered the apartment through the back door, Arthur followed the three law enforcement team members under the cover of the wall and entered the back door of the apartment. In order to prevent the back door from making a closing sound, Arthur pressed his hand into the crack of the door.
Slowly close the door.
Half-crouching to avoid the law enforcement teams who were looking for clues in the corridors, Arthur finally came to the door of the room where Johns lived. The scene here was worse than Arthur imagined. The walls of the entire corridor were covered with powerful traces.
There were traces of smashed fists, and there was water on the ground. This was very similar to Elise's crystal attack method. Arthur took advantage of the moment when the law enforcement team collecting evidence in the corridor lowered their heads and entered Johns' room.
Two rows of iron-railed beds had been smashed, and water dripped from the ceiling onto Arthur's hat, and there was still the smell of blood.
Arthur's eyebrows were as sharp as an eagle. The importance of Johns in the Hermitage was self-evident, not to mention that he was Arthur's friend. There was movement outside the door behind him, and a member of the law enforcement team approached the room. They were walking and chatting.
He said: "The fluctuations of this element are too great. I even suspect that the Supreme Wizard mentioned by those at the arbitration office is here."
"Don't worry. Didn't these recent attacks make Lord Edwards personally order the troops to return to Brighton Town to defend it?" another person said.
"Recently there is news that there are many cyborgs committing crimes in Brighton City. It is unimaginable. What should we do if we encounter cyborgs?"
"The higher-ups will worry about it, we just need to do our own thing."
After entering the room, two members of the law enforcement team began to busy collecting water with elemental power on the ground. On the ceiling, Arthur's limbs were inserted into the wall and hung in mid-air, quietly waiting for the law enforcement team to finish collecting and leave.
...
Johns was tied to a chair with a hemp rope with his face covered in blood. When he woke up in a daze, he found two purple-skinned long-eared elves standing opposite, and beside him was a sharp-clawed elves kneeling on the ground. The surrounding environment
It looked very familiar. It was the torture chamber of the sewer factory underneath the abandoned factory.
"Very good...you have caught me, what are you going to do to me? Transform me into that kind of person?" Johns spat a mouthful of blood on the face of the arrogant elf in front of him, and pointed to the corner of the room.
The expressionless 'Elise' inside.
"That's right...Wizard, although you are very weak, we need a test subject like you to measure the strength of our warriors." The purple-skinned long-eared elf who was vomited blood was not annoyed at all, but rubbed Johns
