Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?

Chapter 1453 897: The Path of Mad Fire_3

The second day, Demon Puppet Sect."Damn it, why did our demon puppets betray us? What the hell did you Mad Fire bastards do to them!"

"Fire that can infect demon puppet golems... what are you talking about? I don't understand, how could such a thing exist in the world!"

"Wait, don't burn me, I don't want to end up like a puppet—"

The third day, Thorn Religious Group.

"The thorns we cultivate are a special kind of Monster that aren't afraid of flames at all. Under my Spiritual Control, they won't betray like the demon puppets, hahaha, you Mad Fire God Sect bastards are at your wits' end!"

"I already said they aren't afraid of flames, why do you keep spewing fire? Do you think shooting fire from your eyes is cool? Like circus clowns!"

"Hey, clearly there was no flame on me, why do I feel like I'm being burned..."

"Stop, stop, don't burn us anymore, we surrender ahhhh!"

Fourth day, fifth day, sixth day....

The seventh day, Eye of Prophecy Church.

"Believers of Mad Fire, we are here to show sincerity, please let us join the Divine Teaching."

"We prophesied a round yellow Sun, look at our eyes, we are just like you now."

"In everyone's eyes, there is a flame that can set the world on fire."

Todd's pen tip came to a halt.

"Have they arrived?"

He looked up towards the door, hearing the sound of horseshoes clattering from a few hundred meters away, the clear and bright sound evidently expensive.

Only someone of the Knight class could afford such quality items.

Ten days have passed.

The Mad Fire God Sect, with unprecedented efficiency, successfully took control of the entire slum.

All thanks to Todd's latest discovery of the Mad Fire's properties. Those burned by Mad Fire have been infected by it, and if they don't want to endure the burning pain, they have no choice but to join the Mad Fire God Sect. Additionally, the threat from the Three Great Religions was closing in, leading the people of the slums to willingly or forcefully board this pirate ship.

Moreover, it was done swiftly and secretly enough that it went unnoticed by those outside the slum.

Everything concluded silently.

"The Knights who protect the Free People Church have finally sensed something amiss and have come in person."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a burly, blonde, blue-eyed Knight pushed open Todd's door, striding in with an air of righteous indignation, hand clutched to his sword hilt.

The slum is not a place any upper-class person wishes to enter voluntarily, and for the past month, this Knight was the first to step into this place.

He is indeed a valuable resource.

"My dog is missing, was it you, you blind fool?"

The Knight casually assessed Todd and, noticing his frail strength, snorted disdainfully. Coupled with the sight of the gatekeepers outside, too timid to even speak a word upon seeing him approach, the Knight's disdain only grew.

He hadn't received protection money from the Free People Church this month and had encountered some troubles.

So, he decided to come to the slum to test his sword, and upon entering, he heard that the Free People Church was no longer around, which only escalated his anger.

"Please calm down, sir, look at this..."

Todd lowered his head respectfully and opened a plain cloth bag, inside of which sparkled Gold Coins and jewels.

Though the Knight quickly spotted many fake jewels, he did astutely recognize a valuable antique among them, and his rage subsided in an instant.

"We can do better than your previous subordinates. Just overlook our small transgressions, and by the way, we've prepared other gifts for your arrival. Please, come see in the treasury?"

You knew I would come? These words were music to the Knight's ears, and with a smile, he followed Todd towards the treasury.

"Ouch, my eyes hurt a bit, please wait a moment."

"What's wrong with you, people living in this broken place are just useless."

"I'm very sorry, very sorry, could you please take a look at my eyes, they seem injured, we don't know much about medical skills..."

"You're really lucky that I'm a compassionate Knight, open your eyes and let me see."

"Here, have a look."

Todd opened his eyes.

Outside the Mad Fire Church, the Mad Fire Believers who stood by the door eavesdropping on the situation smiled.

For they had heard a fierce scream echo from within, and someone immediately pushed open the door and rushed in, the flames in their eyes burning even more intensely.

The Knight was in hand.

The chasm between the slum and the upper world had successfully been bridged.
