Advent of the Archmage Chapter 719

Like most Beastmen cities, the streets of this canyon city were all smelly and disgusting .

The Great Plains lacked water, so the Beastmen didn't have the habit of bathing . There weren't any underground sewage systems either, so waste piled up in the corners . Feces from oxen, goats, and donkeys were everywhere on the streets . Any human city was far cleaner than here .

The canyon walls were high, blocking the sun . This made the alleys all dark and shadowy . In the entire canyon, only the main avenue saw sunlight . The others were all in darkness .

Secrets could hide easily in this darkness . Link walked deep into the canyon and sensed bloody magic aura from some of the streets . Some even contained messy divine waves .

These were probably the believers of demon gods in the Sea of Void sent to convert people . These gods were powerful to mortals but were nothing compared to true gods . Any Legendary figure protected by the realm could drive these demon gods away .

They were like small scabies on the realm . Instead of being threatening, they were just annoying .

Link ignored the lowly darkness and continued forging on . He'd asked some Beastmen earlier and learned that the Black Lane was in the depths of the canyon . It was also the darkest part that contained the most dangerous organisms . Even the natives of the canyon feared it .

The canyon was very long . As Link kept walking, it became narrower and darker . Because people had dug below the canyon, it began to resemble a huge cave .

Around ten minutes later, the two walls were almost closed up, and the inside was all dark . The only sources of light came from the torches on either side . It was clear they weren't well-maintained and were scattered sparsely . Occasionally, wind would blow, and the flames would waver . Eerie shadows flickered through the canyon .

Here, Link's heart jumped . He could clearly feel energy waves from Naga warriors behind him . They'd concealed themselves, but they were like children playing with fire to Link . No amount of hiding would work .

"You want me to alarm them? Heh, I won't let you get what you want . " Link could clearly see what the Naga was planning . For example, his battle ax wasn't only a weapon . It also contained a positioning spell for the Nagas to track people .

Link grew more interested in the Nagas' target . Looking at the geography around him, he chose a path and advanced without hesitation . Stooping, he snuck down the Black Lane's shadows . His actions were at the same level as the best scout .

The Black Lane kept going down and reached in all directions . It looked like a maze . Shadows would occasionally appear in the alley, but they either crept forward like Link or were covered up seamlessly, not showing anything .

Sometimes, weird noises would travel down the street . Some were like moans, some were painful cries, while others were completely indescribable . The people on the street seemed to be used to the sounds . No one reacted to them .

As he continued, the torches lessened, and the light darkened . In places unreachable by firelight, one could barely see their hands before them . Of course, it didn't affect Link at all . Everything was as bright as day in his eyes . He could see every corner in this place .

In his perceptions, the Nagas behind him slowed down considerably . The extreme darkness and strange sounds raised their guards .

Link was still fearless . Like a spirit, he was soundless and quick . After walking for almost ten minutes, he paused and grabbed someone in a black hooded cape .

Link was still fearless . Like a spirit, he was soundless and quick . After walking for almost ten minutes, he paused and grabbed someone in a black hooded cape .

This person had Level-4 dark Mana waves . He was a Magician, while Old Blindie was a Magician too . As fellow Magicians, Link could probably get information from him .

Link's hands twitched . A long battle ax floated up like a leaf . The icy blade pressed against the man's neck . "Do you want to live or die?"

"Live . " The Magician's reply was definite, and his voice was stable without a bit of unsteadiness . Clearly, he was used to this .

He didn't try to fight back either . Link didn't show his Mana, but he'd showed powerful battle techniques with the ax . The Magician was sensitive to danger . He knew that he couldn't defeat this man .

Link was satisfied that this man knew his place . "I want to know about Old Blindie . "

"Old Blindie? Why?" The Magician's voice was a bit strange .

Link immediately pressed the ax in . There was a sharp scritch, and the Magician's collar was ripped . The blade pressed against his skin . "I ask, you answer . My patience is limited . "

The Magician shuddered involuntarily . He knew that he'd run into someone truly dangerous . He could die today from a slight mishap . Not daring to think of anything else, he could only try to cooperate . "If Old Blindie is in the Black Lane, he'll definitely be in the Bloody Tavern . "

"Is he in the Black Lane now?" Link stared at the Magician's eyes while asking . He also felt for the other's soul . He could immediately tell if the man lied . Nowadays, no secrets in Firuman could escape from him!

"Is he in the Black Lane now?" Link stared at the Magician's eyes while asking . He also felt for the other's soul . He could immediately tell if the man lied . Nowadays, no secrets in Firuman could escape from him!

"You're lucky . He's there today . " The Magician didn't dare look Link in the eye . He had to avert his gaze a few seconds later . It wasn't that he felt guilty . He couldn't resist Link's pressure .

Link pried the Magician's head back, forcing him to stare at himself . "How is Old Blindie usually?"

"He… he's mysterious . No one knows where he is exactly . He's strong too . He once showed a Level-7 spell . He… he's low-key and never causes trouble . When he's in the Bloody Tavern, he drinks alone in the corner and rarely talks to anyone . " The Magician's voice trembled in fear .

"Last question . Why is he called Old Blindie?"

"He's blind . He's missing two eyes . He put two white crystal balls in his eye sockets, and he looks scary . This is all I know . Really, nothing more . "

"Patience . I need to know where the Bloody Tavern is . "

"Go down this road to the end . You'll see a door with a black torch . That's the entrance . " The Magician's voice was hurried and quivered . He clearly thought that Link was ready to silence him with death .

Link chuckled, making the Magician shudder . He instinctively tried to attack . His wand already lit up .

"Okay, I believe you . Go now . " Link waved casually, extinguishing the magic forming on the wand . He grabbed the Magician and tossed him back while he flew forward, disappearing in the darkness in the blink of an eye .

Plop . The Magician landed safely on the ground . When he looked up, the Beastman Warrior was gone . What had happened seemed like a fantasy, but when he touched his throat, he could still feel the ax's coldness . His collar was also ripped . It proved that it had actually happened .

This Warrior is so strong . Old Blindie's rival is probably looking for him . I can't stay in Black Lane anymore . I gotta go!

He turned and started for the exit without stopping .

On the other hand, Link sped up . Three minutes later, he reached the end of the street . There was indeed a door there . A torch with black flames hung from it, illuminating blood-red words, Bloody Night of Joy .

Loud noises came from the door—screams and strange music . This must be the Bloody Tavern . Link walked up and opened the door lightly .

He was immediately hit by a bloody smell, making him dizzy . Focusing, he saw redness everywhere . His battle experience told him that the wine here was all blood . The ecstatically partying men and women were all involved in dark magic . About one-third had blood-sucking demon lineage .

He also saw Old Blindie in the corner . Just as the Magician had said, he sat quietly and drank a cup of fresh blood . When Link appeared, he immediately turned and went blank .

When Link saw him, his brows also furrowed . He knew this Magician! Like most Beastmen cities, the streets of this canyon city were all smelly and disgusting .
