Can't I develop my own character?
Page 258
The entire city has no style at all. Because it is located in a border area, people from almost all countries are here. The chaotic cultural integration eventually turned it into a hodgepodge. Only the cityscape is similar to that of a border city, which makes Ryan feel like the city lord will pack up and run away at any time.
He remembered that the City of Sin had no city lord, but there were four major families. These four families basically controlled more than 80% of the resources of the City of Sin and were like local tycoons.
Each of the four major families is proud of its belief in a different foreign god, namely war, cunning, desire, and chaos. Because it is called the "City of Sin", the belief in foreign gods is particularly prosperous here.
Simply put, the City of Sin is a smaller version of the Southern Continent. The Gate of Janus has always wanted to clean up this area, but due to its geographical location, neither the Northern Alliance nor Arcadia would be happy to see the faith of Janus enter Qajar.
So under this delicate balance, the city of sin is actually living a fulfilling life.
But the same thing goes, it’s not a question of whether it can be done or not, it’s just a question of whether you want to do it or not.
With Ryan's current development, he will cleanse the City of Sin sooner or later. Otherwise, how can the army cross Qajar and attack Arcadia?
Just as he was thinking about it, Ryan suddenly discovered that the magatama in his backpack had a subtle reaction.
"what?"
14400
"Why is this thing lighting up? Could it be that there's a third magatama in the City of Sin?"
Because the character's pre-tasks do not have any guidance like in the game, Ryan plans to use Janus's ritual to find the third magatama if Lao Qiao can get the second magatama from the City of Desire.
Janus, only those who use it know.
Ryan carefully observed the reaction of the magatama and found that the brightness of the light on it was not fixed. Sometimes it was strong, sometimes it was weak. He guessed that the closer it was to the other magatama, the brighter it would be.
"Queen, what's that over there?" Ryan pointed in the direction where the brightness was higher. In the distance there was a tall building similar to a clock tower.
"That's the clock tower of the four major families. There are also clock towers in other directions. The four major families control four urban areas. They are just blocked because they are too far away." Kachina explained with a smile.
"The Four Great Families? The Clock Tower?"
"Don't you even know what's going on in Sin City?"
Ryan laughed awkwardly: "I have been staying in my hometown this whole time. This is my first time out."
"Come with me more often and I'll show you the remains of the Earth Goddess. They're not like the ruins of the past; they're very well-preserved in the empire. Especially the temple in the imperial capital, which contains..."
Kachina paused, then remembered that the watcher's secret could not be exposed.
"The temple in the imperial capital?" Ryan said in surprise and longing, "That must be where the miracle is. If I could go in there once, I would die without regrets!
"Hehe~ Don't worry, a devout person like you will definitely have a chance." Kachina raised the corner of her mouth. Very good, she found a 'weakness' of Reid.
As long as there is weakness, there is temptation. As long as the hoe is dug well, what does it matter if the goddess is hers? Whatever she sets her eyes on is hers!
I've read so many interesting books, but I still can't handle a newbie like Reid?
However, that place is a little special. I'll ask Kaqiya when I get back. If she doesn't agree, then... I'll just take Reid in secretly.
No matter how she looked at it, Kachina felt more and more that Ryan was the prince she was destined to find. She could feel that there was a power in Ryan that attracted her... It should be the power passing through the earth, pure and sacred, clean, just like Reid, who had stayed in a small place since he was a child and had never been polluted by power, calculation, beauty or money, a pure little white!
"Queen, let's go take a look at that clock tower."
Ryan didn't know that Kachina's psychological activities were so complicated. He just wanted to see if he could determine the whereabouts of the third magatama.
Even Ryan himself didn't know that after coming out of the chaotic space, the power of desire on him became stronger, but at the same time more hidden. The power that could unconsciously gain the favor of others had lost the side effects of desire, so that even Kachina couldn't notice it.
Well, Ryan himself didn't notice it.
"Okay, let me think about that direction... Oh, it should be the territory of the Hefit family. They believe in the God of Desire."
Kachina suddenly remembered the other purpose of her visit. She had not forgotten what Kaqiya had told her.
Since there is no clue in the search for the dwarves, it would be better to look for people from these four major families... Kachina thought as she walked towards the clock tower.
After about half an hour, the two arrived at the outskirts of the clock tower.
The clock tower was blocked by a group of armed guards, whose armor was engraved with pink rose patterns, the symbol of the Hefit family.
There is actually nothing much to see in the clock tower. It is just a symbolic building. However, Ryan found that the magatama became brighter after arriving here, so bright that it was almost certain.
To the east of the clock tower is a group of houses surrounding a huge castle. In front of the castle is a yard with a large iron gate. Inside is a pool and a lawn, and in the middle stands a statue of the god of desire.
There are also guards outside the castle. If Ryan didn't know the situation in other urban areas, he would definitely think this is where the city lord stays.
At this moment, he could feel the direction guided by the magatama, which was inside the castle.
"What a surprise, but how do we get rid of Kachina? If the magatama appears, this woman will definitely notice."
Not only Kachina, the four major families are extraordinary families that serve the Outer Gods. They can occupy the City of Sin for so long, so the strength of the Hefit family must be strong.
There are definitely no seventh-level transcendents, but there are fifth-level ones, and perhaps even a hidden sixth-level one.
The Blood Knight can kill indiscriminately, but it takes time, and once the killing causes chaos, it will be troublesome.
This is inconsistent with his usual low-key connotation.
Chaos. First of all, the city must be in chaos in order to cover up his whereabouts.
Ryan looked up at the sky. It was getting dark and the nightlife of Sin City would soon begin.
Wait, at night, desire?
Ryan glanced at the statue of the City of Desire, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Very good, you're messing with me, right? Since you've put your power on me, I won't be polite.
While he was thinking, a group of people suddenly rushed out of the castle.
A man in a tuxedo was accompanied by a dozen guards. He was a little fat and had two thick black mustaches under his nose.
Although he looks fat, he is very agile and he ran all the way without even taking a breath.
Extraordinary?
"Queen Kachina!!!"
The fat man came in front of them and knelt down with a thud: "Alberta, meet the great queen!"
"Oh~ it's you." Kachina glanced at the other person and recognized him as the person she had dealt with the last time she came here.
"Your Majesty, you still remember me." Albert raised his head and smiled flatteringly: "Excuse me, Your Majesty, is there anything that brings you here?"
"I'm here to look for someone."
"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for? Our Hefit family will do our best to help you find it!"
"dwarf."
"Dwarves?" Albert was bewildered. "Isn't that a race that has disappeared in legends? Are there still some of them alive?"
Kachina's expression turned cold. "Albert, put away your little thoughts and tell me what you know quickly, otherwise the Hefit family will disappear in the City of Sin."
"Queen! Please understand clearly. The Hefit family would never dare to deceive you. We really don't know anything about the dwarves!"
"Is it."
Kachina suddenly smiled. "I believe you. Albert, do me a favor and summon the leaders of the four major families to Moster Tower. I'll question them one by one. If anyone I find lying, I'll throw him off the Moster Tower."
Ryan saw Fatty Albert's body tremble involuntarily.
Motite Tower should be the tall tower in the middle of Sin City. It is estimated to be more than 100 meters high. Its origin is unknown. Sin City was built around this tower.
If you fall from a height of 100 meters, unless you are a transcendent above level 3, or someone of some special profession, you will either die or be crippled.
Well, if the magic power is sealed, then we should pray for God's blessing.
"Why, you don't want to?" Kachina's pink plum blossom eyes looked at Albert with a smile on her face: "How about I throw you down from there right now?"
"Of course I do! It's an honor for the Hefit family to share the Queen's worries!" Albert stood up and said with a wry smile, "Then Queen, would you like to go to the castle to rest for a while?"
"Forget it, I'm not interested. I'll wait for you on the Motite Tower... Well, let's set the time limit until sunset. If I don't see you before dark, I will wipe out all four major families."
Kachina said without a doubt, using the most cheerful tone and the most frightening words.
However, Ryan always felt that this scene had a strong sense of déjà vu. The plot of the Dragon King returning and the destruction of the four major families was simply too classic.
"Ryder, let's go."
"Yes, Queen."
After watching the two of them leave, the smile on Albert's face immediately faded and his expression became gloomy.
"Go investigate who leaked the information about the dwarves. And investigate that guy named Reid as well. He must be someone special since he's staying with Kachina. He might be a noble from Arcadia. Find out and tell me immediately."
This was not the first time Kachina had come, but the last time, forces including the Hefit family suffered heavy losses.
There was nothing we could do. He was the emperor. With just one order, the City of Sin was razed to the ground.
Although most people living here don’t care, even if the city is gone, the people are still there and the chaos will still be there, but for the four major families, they don’t want to lose the existing resources.
First up, the dwarves.
Secondly, Albert discovered that Kachina's attitude towards Ryan was particularly good just now. If he could establish a good relationship with the latter, perhaps their Hefit family could take advantage of this opportunity and become the boss of Sin City in one fell swoop.
"Yes, grandpa, I'll take care of it right away...that thing in the dungeon..." someone next to him asked in a low voice.
Before he could finish his words, Albert stopped him with a stern look.
"What dungeon? There's no such thing!"
"Yes, it is."
Albert waved his hand, signaling the man to hurry up and do his job.
It was getting dark soon, and he had to convey the message to other families.
...
The sun sets in the west, and the orange sunlight gradually disappears into the horizon as night falls.
Ryan walked on the brightly lit street and looked at the shops on both sides of the street. The order in the city was much better than outside the city. At least no one dared to kill or set fire openly.
The four major families control the order here, and they need a certain degree of stability to ensure that their industries can earn enough gold coins.
At this time, the four parents had already boarded the Most Tower. Ryan found an excuse to go for a walk in the city. Kachina did not stop him. Instead, she gave him two magic scrolls to save his life, one fifth-level and one sixth-level.
Level six!
There weren't many of these things even in Augustus's treasury, yet he gave them to a 'stranger' whom he had only known for less than a day?
If it hadn't been so long, if it was when he just traveled through time, Ryan felt that he would have to pledge his loyalty to Queen Kachina.
What killing god? Slander! Those are just some unruly people slandering the Queen!
Queen Kachina is beautiful and kind-hearted, who doesn’t know that?
Ryan accepted the magic scroll with gratitude.
Don't want it for nothing.
"Let me see... Hmm, this place should be nice."
Ryan stopped in front of a store with a pink sign. On the doorplate were written the words "Land of Dreams".
This is a three-story building with a gorgeous and elegant exterior. Four girls with charming figures are standing at the door.
There were many people like Ryan who stopped to watch, and many people went in. When he walked to the door, two girls immediately came up to greet him with sweet smiles.
"Dear guest, welcome to the Misty Land~" When the two saw Ryan's appearance, their eyes suddenly lit up and they wanted to pounce on him and eat him up immediately.
Damn, have I entered a spider cave?
Seeing a large group of scantily clad girls showing off inside, Ryan cursed inwardly that it was vulgar and walked inside.
"I'll go in and take a look."
As Ryan passed by the two people, the power of desire was quietly released, taking away the "emotions" from the girl, and then walked into the dreamland.
The two girls stayed where they were, looking dazed and dull. After a while, they looked at each other.
"I suddenly feel so bored staying here."
"Me too. I indulge in lust every day. It's meaningless to our lives. I want to leave here."
"Count me in, let's go, get out of here."
"..."
Ryan withdrew his attention from behind him, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. It is an infinite merit to persuade a prostitute to change her ways!
That's right, he came to the brothel to save these fallen women.
There are almost no slaves in the City of Sin, because the status of slavery cannot last long. Those who can survive at least have the freedom to make decisions on the surface, so the two girls just left directly.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Ryan extracted their emotions. After losing their desire, they no longer wanted to stay here.
