Traveling through the first year of Panlong and Magnolia

Chapter 29 Pure Soul

As soon as he entered the City Lord's Mansion, Andrew felt a faint black aura floating in the air around him. This black aura was very strange, and it fell on him, making him feel cold all over.

"Millie, are you feeling cold?" Andrew asked in a low voice.

It was Millie's first time entering the City Lord's Mansion and she was curious about everything. When she heard Andrew's question, she shook her head twice without thinking.

"Is this really an illusion?" Andrew thought again. He was unwilling to give up, so he caught up with Howard in a few steps and asked, "Father, do you feel that it is very cold here?"

Howard asked in confusion, "Cold? Really? I don't think it's any different from outside."

After hearing this, Andrew not only did not dispel his doubts, but instead became more convinced of his own thoughts: there must be something wrong here.

Thinking of this, he immediately came to Jin Hu, which was closer to Janice and Ling'er. At this time, he found that Ling'er's expression was a little wrong, her face was a little blue, and her whole body was curled up in Janice's arms. It seemed that she was cold.

"Polit, help me take care of Millie!" Andrew immediately handed Millie to Paulit next to him and took Ling'er down himself. Millie was still immersed in the shock of the City Lord's Mansion and didn't care who was holding her.

"Ling'er, what's wrong with you?" Andrew asked in her ear.

Ling'er hugged his neck tightly with both hands, her little hands were cold.

"Brother, it's so cold here, even colder than the grassland." Ling'er said pitifully, thinking of the winter on the grassland.

"Ling'er can also feel the cold, why don't father and Xiaomili feel it?" Andrew was even more confused. He always felt that there must be something strange here. Subconsciously, he turned around and looked at the city lord who was following behind him.

Meeting his gaze, the city lord grinned, a smile Andrew would never forget after seeing it once.

"Buzz!"

Seeing that smile, he felt his head buzzing and his body lost consciousness. Fortunately, he recovered in the next moment.

"How weird! What did he do just now?" Andrew tilted his head slightly, his mind full of questions. He knew how dangerous his situation was. If he was in a battle, his moment of distraction would be enough to kill him several times!

After thinking for a while, Andrew met the city lord's gaze again. He wanted to find out what the other party had done to him. Unfortunately, he failed this time. The city lord did not look at him, but fixed his eyes on Ling'er.

Looking at Ling'er, the city lord's face was extremely interesting. His face was so skinny that only bones were left, and the shriveled skin was squeezed together. It looked very scary at first glance.

Although he didn't understand what the other party was thinking, Andrew still gently turned his body to block Ling'er. At the same time, he also observed the city lord's reaction from the corner of his eye.

Seeing Ling'er blocked by a figure, the city lord's eyes radiated anger. He took a few steps forward, but Andrew turned to the other side of the golden tiger. This time, he really couldn't see Ling'er.

Andrew's action also shocked the city lord. After being angry, the city lord quickly calmed down and walked slowly at the end of the team. However, this time he lowered his head and put the black hat high behind him, looking mysterious.

When everyone arrived at the city lord's garden, it was already late. The city lord decided to host a banquet in the garden to entertain everyone, which made Bandini very happy. He thought that he had finally saved face, and his attitude towards the city lord became better.

When the others heard about the feast, they all showed joy on their faces, especially Janice, who always paid attention to the taste of life and had suffered a lot in the past few days. Only Andrew remained sober, holding Ling'er and paying attention to the city lord's every move.

Soon, the dinner was served. Strangely, the city lord disappeared at this time. However, no one cared and started eating. Even the usually cold Paulette was unwilling to lag behind. He put Millie aside and took a roasted yellow sheep and shared it with Millie. Jin Hu was also served by someone and ate happily.

"Ling'er, do you want to eat?" Andrew asked.

Ling'er shook her head, pursed her lips and said nothing. Andrew could see that she really didn't want to eat. As for him, he also had no appetite. The two of them didn't touch the food in front of them, just watching others feasting.

"These foods make me feel disgusted. Maybe Ling'er feels the same way."

Andrew thought to himself while carefully looking for the city lord's trace.

The dinner lasted for a long time. In the city lord's mansion, servants kept bringing plates of delicacies. Bandani and his friends accepted all of them. In the end, everyone's stomachs were full. Janice was better. She leaned aside with a slightly reserved gesture. Bandani and his friends didn't care about anything and lay on the ground.

"It feels so good!" Bandani shouted happily.

"There will be something more comfortable later."

In the garden, a black figure floated over. When Andrew saw it, his eyes tightened. This person was the city lord he had been looking for.

Bandani said, "If you have anything else, City Lord, just tell me directly."

The city lord smiled strangely and waved his hand, and two rows of people walked out from behind him.

"Here they come!" The city lord pointed at the last position of the two rows of people and said grimly.

"Mom!" Millie suddenly shouted, struggled to get up from the ground, and stumbled towards those people.

It turned out that after two lines of people walked out of the shadows, everyone saw that at the end of the team, there were two people carrying a huge cross with a woman tied to the cross. It was Millie's mother!

"What are you doing?" Bandani felt something was wrong, and sat up immediately. Beside him, Pollitt also took out a giant shield and a giant sword, while Andrew took the opportunity to take Howard and Janice aside, carefully paying attention to the changes on the field.

"Millie, why are you here? Go back immediately, do you hear me!" The woman seemed surprised to see Millie, but she quickly calmed down and yelled at Millie.

Millie was frightened by her yelling and stopped, not knowing what to do. Andrew immediately hugged her and flicked her neck with his finger, and Millie fainted.

His actions did not escape the woman's eyes, but she didn't care at all.

"Look, this is the last show of today. You must open your eyes wide to welcome the great God of the Underworld!" The city lord's sinister voice sounded again. Andrew got goose bumps all over when he heard it.

"You are offering a sacrifice to the evil god!" Bandani stood up and pointed at the city lord and said loudly. The matter was so obvious, if he didn't understand it, he would be unworthy of being a magician.

"No, no, it's not the evil god, Mr. Magician." The city lord said piously, "It's the true god, the only true body, His Majesty the God of Hell!"

Bandani's face looked very ugly: "Lord Lefen, you actually dared to sacrifice living people to the evil god. The empire will not let you go!" Sacrificing living people is not tolerated anywhere.

The city lord chuckled a few times and said, "Originally, I wanted to send you away quickly to prevent this secret from being discovered. If you spread it out, even the high priest would probably take action against me personally. To be honest, I'm really afraid..."

Bandani snorted coldly: "It's good that you know it. I advise you to surrender obediently, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"

The city lord shook his head: "Mr. Magician, you are really not very smart. I have already said that I was afraid before, but now I am not afraid anymore!"

"Why? Do you think the evil god you worship can resist the high priest?" Bandani asked.

The city lord laughed loudly twice: "You have become smart this time. However, you are still wrong. It is not the Hades whom I worship, but I myself can defeat the high priest!"

Bandani pouted: "Just you?"

The city lord stretched his hands toward the sky and said devoutly, "You will never understand how terrifying the power of Hades is. Ten years ago, I was just an ordinary fourth-level warrior. Fate arranged for me to become a servant of Hades. In just ten years, Hades gave me unparalleled power and made me a high and mighty city lord!"

Andrew frowned after hearing this. Although he didn't know the strength of Lefen City Lord, he expected it to be no less than level 8. Otherwise, how could he dare to do this when he knew Bandani's identity and saw the existence of the golden tiger?

"It is indeed not easy to go from level 4 to level 8 in ten years. Could it be that the other party is offering sacrifices to a certain main god? Impossible, why would a main god care about the sacrifices of mortals!" Andrew rejected this speculation.

"The great God of the Underworld once told me that as long as I find someone with a pure soul for him, he will grant me the ability to become a god! Look, this is the token God of the Underworld gave me! As long as a person with a pure soul appears around me, this bead will shine!" As he spoke, the city lord spread out his right hand, and in the palm of his skinny hand, a marble-sized bead emitted bursts of red light.

"Over the years, I have searched thousands of miles around Lefen City, but I still haven't found someone who can make the beads glow. However, I didn't give up. I believe that God is blessing me! Sure enough, today, I finally found this person!"

The city lord spoke more and more crazily, but he stared at Ling'er without blinking.

Seeing this scene, everyone knew that the person with a pure soul he was talking about was Ling'er!
