Chapter 433 Prayer

Chapter 433 Prayer
Anti followed the group of Hopu people and approached the great wall of Assalon.

Along the way, he was met with vigilant gazes from people around him and ordinary people.

If it weren't for the few people who came with him and the ordinary people who stopped him, Anti might have been attacked at any time.

Faced with the tense situation, people's nerves have become very sensitive.

After all, they were just afraid of Anti's strength, not really convinced by Anti.

Until they arrived at the foot of the city wall, his leader and the ordinary people asked him to wait here for a while, and they sent several people to report about Anti.

Anti stood there with a casual posture, but he could feel the strong gazes from all directions. At first glance, the surroundings seemed quite empty and there were not many people, but in fact they were full of ordinary people.

If Anti makes any rash move, they will pounce on him immediately.

Anti understands the wariness and insecurities of others.

Just as he was thinking about it, a figure suddenly fell from the sky and landed lightly in front of him, raising only a slight dust.

The visitor was a woman with short wavy flaxen hair. Her slim figure could not be concealed even in her light clothes. Her aura was very strong. She was the most powerful person Anti had seen since he came to the west. She had a condensed aura and could be considered a master.

"Hello, you mean the strong man who can provide us with help as long as we let you into the city for a visit?" The woman looked at Anti. Just looking at the soft facial features, she gave off the feeling of a lady from a noble family.

But it is obvious that the appearance of the supernatural world is basically only for reference.

"Yes, are you?"

"Oval, the current governor of Asaron, and the current national leader of the Pu people. Of course, you may be more familiar with my other name, the rebel general of the Bahong Empire." The woman introduced herself quickly.

Anti nodded: "Nice to meet you, when can I enter the city?"

Oval was stunned for a moment. Although she was not a very arrogant person, she did not expect that someone in this area could face her so calmly and casually.

Even if they are from Blue Star, they would not be so casual if they knew more about it.

"I need to make sure you are safe."

"Okay, I'll help you confirm."

"Huh?" Oval was stunned and didn't understand what Anti meant.

Then the next moment, Anti grabbed her neck and lifted her up.

The surrounding people rushed forward immediately. Anti shook his other three hands, and the space in his palms instantly solidified, freezing the surrounding people in mid-air.

Oval tried to struggle, but Anti's hand remained motionless no matter how she moved.

She reached out from behind and took out a short stick. After triggering a miracle, the short stick instantly extended into a spear and stabbed at Anti, but Anti freed one hand and easily grabbed it.

As Anti's hands gradually tightened, no matter how Oval performed miracles, he could not stop his consciousness from leaving.

At about the same time, Anti loosened his hand, put her down gently, and then released the space restrictions around her.

Swish swish!
The people around him and the common people still did not give up easily. All kinds of weapons were placed all over Anti's body, and he would be scratched by the weapons if he moved casually.

"Stop!" Oval shouted for everyone to stop.

She covered her neck and gasped, her hand holding the weapon trembling slightly. Looking at Anti, who was standing there expressionless with his extra arm folded as if he had just done nothing, she couldn't help but feel scared.

"He's not dangerous," Oval said, swallowing.

There is indeed "no danger".

If there was danger, everyone present would have died in an instant.

Although the process was extremely provocative and even irritated ordinary people, as Anti showed, his strength was even stronger than described and unfathomable.

If he wanted, he could just break through the city wall and enter the city. Now he was willing to talk to them, which showed his sincerity.

The other commoners also figured out the problem quickly, and moved their weapons away uncomfortably, dispersing and disappearing. "I'm sorry for the offense, but you're really not a danger to us... Follow me into the city," Oval said to Anti.

Without saying much, Oval took Anti through a gap in the city wall. After a short passage inside the wall, the scenery of the inner city of Assalon appeared in front of them up close.

Compared to the dilapidated and ravaged outer city, the inner city is in much better condition. The further up the mountain you go, the more intact the buildings become, and the more they seem to have been shaped by time.

Of course, it cannot just be the accumulation of time. If it is not renovated at all, it may still be a bit too much of a stretch.

At the same time, compared to the outer city area which is basically the front line of the battle, the inner city area has a distinct atmosphere of life.

In fact, no matter how many times Assalon fell, the inner city had always been inhabited, and because of the different periods of rule, the introduction of a mixed population brought about a diverse and complex culture.

If we can stabilize one day, we may have the opportunity to develop rapidly.

But now, the residents here still have to worry about the war situation outside, and the living conditions are quite ordinary. Anti saw two skinny children standing on the corner of the street, looking at him curiously.

After a while they were taken away by their mother.

"What do you need to investigate? I can try to help you." Oval asked as he took Anti on the streets of the city.

"I'm here to investigate the matter of the Miracle Twins, and whether you know about the wandering god, Heaven and Earth Hand?" said Anti.

It is not surprising that the Miracle Twins are being investigated. Who comes to Assalon and doesn't want to see traces of the Miracle Twins?

As for the following question.

"I don't know much about this parade of gods, but there are some signs in the city that may be related to it. I'll take you there to see it." Oval said after thinking for a while.

I didn't expect to gain something right from the start.

Oval took Anti to a square in a corner of the city. In the center of the square, a sculpture of a hand holding a lotus was well preserved. Anyone who knew about the Hand of Heaven and Earth would certainly be familiar with it.

An iconic symbolic image.

There are also lotus flowers planted in the ponds around the sculptures. They seem to be growing well even without anyone taking care of them. They are quiet and unique.

"This is?"

"We didn't conduct a comprehensive investigation. We only know that it seems to be an imported belief. We initially wanted to destroy it to avoid being associated with the procession, but the nearby residents tried their best to stop us and ended up doing nothing," Oval explained.

"Are there many buildings of this kind in the city?"

"There are quite a few, but many of them have been destroyed, probably due to the change of rulers over several generations. Very few are well preserved. This one is the best and may be a newer sculpture."

Anti nodded and checked with his night eyes.

[Heaven and Earth Hand Sculpture: During the chaotic times of the Wandering Gods, the Heaven and Earth Hand dragged its broken body to find its home, and protected this place for many years, and finally disappeared here. The residents of Asaron built a statue of it and worshiped it, which was a commemoration and respect for the brief peace. ]

Some residents are kneeling and praying in front of the sculpture.

One doesn't need to be close to Anti to hear their whispers.

"God, please end this war soon."

“I hope I can sleep well every night.”

"My child was affected and died. Please comfort his soul."

"I hope to go out into the bigger world..."

"Live peacefully, die peacefully."

……

After looking at it for a while, Anti turned around and said, "Take me to see the other statues."
