Chapter 479 479. Blasphemous bandits
After entering the cave, Lan En did not feel that he had "stepped onto sacred ground."
This place is like all the caves he has entered.
Strange rocks shaped by geological activities, green moss growing on the rocks, and fungi growing in the dark places
This is a long cave with a general direction downward. On the way in, there are long torches inserted in the ground at intervals to illuminate it.
Lan En followed the torch all the way down, and finally came to a culvert.
Slantingly above the culvert, there is an opening that leads directly to the outside world. The sunlight shines in through that opening, and it happens to shine on the only statue of the **** in the culvert.
That is a nearly five-meter-long statue of Hermes made entirely of copper.
Under the sunlight, the golden light shines.
Lan En can no longer complain about the use and carving of this material.
Putting this thing in a normal historical timeline, it is estimated that it can be the total annual income of several provinces in a feudal dynasty.
But in this world of Greece BC, it was just a statue of a **** in a cave on a poor island.
The [Spiritual Vision] in his mind was slightly stimulated as Lan En expected, which made Lan En feel progress.
A woman wearing a long linen skirt was bowing her head in prayer in front of the statue. She looked focused and pious, and did not notice Lan En's arrival at all.
Lan En did not disturb her, but his cat eyes shone slightly in the dim light, and his pupils began to shrink and focus.
With the blessing of [Spirit Vision], the demon hunter's vision could clearly see the subtle traces of this culvert in front of Lan En.
The demon hunter's vision can observe traces of the material world, and [spiritual vision] allows Lan En to peer into the deep truth of the world.
The statue of Hermes stands on a stone platform, and around this circular stone platform are places where people place offerings.
Large and small sacks containing flower petals or barley or wheat.
There are also some pottery and copper amphora, which smell like they should contain olive oil and wine.
There are also some richer and more direct offerings, which are some coins and jewelry.
Lann doesn't care about these things.
There are no traces of energy flow, at least with my current [spiritual vision], I cant see any traces of energy.
The witcher followed his professional habit and murmured the clues he had found in a low voice.
But on a physical level, hey, drag marks?
Lan En controlled it very well. During the process of crouching down, the Grandmaster Bear School armor did not make any sound due to the collision of armor pieces.
His upgraded leather gloves with steel armor plates touched the ground.
Someone dragged the sacrifice behind the statue?
The witcher followed the traces and came to the golden statue of Hermes.
There is an opening here for the cold air to flow in.
Two or three times, the vines that had been growing under this ray of sunlight for an unknown period of time were peeled apart, and a large crack in the rock was revealed.
In the witcher's vision, the bright red drag marks on the ground extend all the way inside.
The corners of Lan En's mouth curled up slightly.
"It seems that the one who wants to take the tribute is not God. I have found you."
Squeeze sideways into the crack in the rock, behind which is a deeper natural tunnel.
The voices of several people talking and laughing loudly echoed in the tunnel, and were almost inaudible at the entrance.
But in the demon hunter's senses, these things are very clear.
Lan En followed the sound and found that the deeper tunnel was well managed by the tribute thieves.
They lit a brazier here and built shelves and ladders out of wood. A weapons rack with several weapons was also placed aside.
When Lan En appeared in front of them, the young man originally just wanted to intimidate them and then let them spit out the tribute. But he obviously underestimated the nature of tribute thieves in this era.
These people who dare to steal tribute in front of the gods, their crimes are generally more serious than murder according to the definition of various city-states!
That is blasphemy!
So its not surprising that the first reaction of these people when they saw Lan En was to draw a knife.
When the first bandit walked toward him with a gloomy expression and his sword drawn, Lan En finally realized what crime "blasphemy" meant in this era and how serious it was.
Simply put: People who have committed capital crimes dont care much about adding a few more lives to their hands.
The Greek dagger stabbed towards Lan En's waist.
The bandit who led the charge had obviously killed someone before, and he knew the difficulties he would encounter when stabbing someone.
So when he stabbed, he pressed the handle of the dagger with his palm, and the palm was close to his chest.
Strive to prevent your hands from slipping, and at the same time, make your own weight become one of the thrusting forces.
So the sword struck fast and hard.
There is no problem in killing a wild wolf with this sword.
But in front of Lan En.
His hands are too short.
Your wingspan is too long, sir.
The communication between the biological brain and the subject only lasts a moment.
Immediately afterwards, the leather glove with steel armor directly rubbed the blade of the sword, and pinched the palm of the leading bandit's sword!
Crack sound!
The force of the opponent's collision and stabbing was simply insignificant. Lan En's palm forcefully reversed the direction of the opponent's sword.
Twist the opponent's palm, and let the opponent's Greek dagger rest on his unprotected neck.
The skin that was still sweating was cut open by the sharp blade.
The blood spurting out from his neck even splashed onto the other side of the tunnel wall.
The hand holding the sword had already been deformed by Lan En's pinch, and now it was completely soft.
So the witcher easily took the dagger from the dead man's hand and threw it away.
Puff, a sound of breaking through the air and a scream sounded at the same time.
The other bandit jumped into the air, as if he had been hit by a cow.
When he landed, there was a Greek dagger stuck in front and back of his chest.
His eyes were empty, and he didn't even realize what was happening, but his body only twitched instinctively, twisting on the ground.
A white light flashed in the dark cave, and Lan En's arm was raised just in front of him.
The sound of ding is accompanied by the sparks of metal collision.
An arrow bounced off the outside of a leather glove with steel armor.
While the arrow was being bounced, the palm that was in front of him just now pinched it, and then waved his hand with a sound of breaking through the air.
Whoosh!
Hand holding a bow and arrow, the archer stood on a wooden stand, with an arrow he had just shot stuck in his unprotected throat.
His eyes protruded like a dying sea fish, and he wanted to cover his throat, but his hands no longer had the strength to move to his throat. He could only scratch at the air for a while, and then hang down.
When this cave changed from noisy to dead silence, there was a gap of time between them.
Lan En collected the tributes stolen by these bandits, at least the part that had not been taken away, and went out with the things.
As he was about to walk out of the crevice, he happened to hear the woman outside who had been praying, praying devoutly to the statue of Hermes.
