MTL - Throne of Magical Arcana-v9 Chapter 36 The secret city of Couffray
南 Fernando grabbed the notebook and performed "higher invisibility" on himself, then disappeared into the study, listening quietly to the sound of footsteps.
One, two, three, more and more footsteps sounded at the gate.
"How come there are so many people? Sneaky ..." Fernando created peeping eyes, let them fly away, and monitored the entire villa-although this spell has a limited range, Tucker's villa is old and small , But it's under control.
水晶 In the corner of no one, a crystal ball suddenly lights up, showing the scene in the hall-"higher invisibility" can not hide this effect.
In the hall, men and women in ordinary clothes walked like ghosts, walking very lightly, as if they were afraid of waking the host here.
大概 They were about a dozen people, spreading out, and surrounded by a thrilling man in the middle.
This man has scarlet red hair, a protruding forehead, a broken eyebrow in the middle, a half-nose nose, a valgus mouth and a pair of white-eyes. The ugliness of the features is completely unnatural. It seems like a rag doll sewn by a willful child, just like a monster that only appears in illogical dreams.
瞎 His blind eyes were looking up at the ceiling, and the same ears trembled after being bitten by the dog. After the dozen men and women stood in strange positions, they suddenly said, "The gods save the world."
His voice is not as "ugly" as his looks, it is misty and high, and it seems to fall from an infinite height, making people afraid.
"Please God, save me and wait." The men and women clasped their hands and slowly fell forward sideways, with strange and twisted postures.
The man continued the previous tone, solemnly and solemnly: "After birth, everyone is suffering and paying off crimes. Everyone will suffer from hunger, trauma, jealousy, and betrayal. They will not be happy for a day, and will be endless. The pressure was out of breath, and, in the end, no one could escape death, and could only walk towards death step by step with fear. "
"But the true God tells us that death is eternal, death is peaceful, there is no distress, no pain. When we face death, we need to thank God for his grace, and for keeping you from perishing in this dirty and dirty world. ... "
He said sentence by sentence that the whole hall was filled with a quiet and addictive atmosphere. The dozens of men and women listened very attentively and seemed to gradually understand the true meaning of death.
"Is it a preaching church that believes in the **** of death?" Fernando probably understood what was happening in the hall by peeping at the monitoring of the demon eye, and initially guessed.
This place is infiltrated by the Church of the Other Gods, and a similar situation is normal.
The idea had just flashed, and he suddenly realized that something was wrong: "How could they go to Tucker's house to hold a preaching ceremony? Do they know that there is no one in Tucker's house?"
Thick doubts arose, and Fernando discriminated carefully, but found no Tuc in this group who tried to study the mystery of faith-Flan used his memory to create a video of Tuc for him to look for. Tucker.
"Strange, are they related to Tucker's" missing "?" Fernando looked more closely at the "believers".
"... As long as we can get the care of the true God, we will have eternal life in death, eternal life without suffering ..." The priest's voice suddenly became loud and his right hand was raised.
With his right hand raised, the dozen men and women got up from the ground and danced a weird dance that Fernando had never seen before. Their postures were abnormally distorted, as if they were completely afraid of the damage of the joints and could not feel it pain.
"Unlike normal religious rituals ..." Fernando was still a bit researched on this, "is the believer in the **** of death so special?"
As the "dance" became more and more weird, the atmosphere in the hall became confused, and they undressed one by one and crawled naked before the priest.
The priest's right hand was lowered, but a sharp dagger was added, with a silvery cold light on it.
When Fernando thought that the priest was going to reap the lives of these believers to please the **** of death, the priest rolled his right hand and inserted the dagger directly into his chest, and blood poured out.
额 "Uh?" Fernando froze completely, he knew a lot of sacrifice rituals, but never saw the host commit suicide first!
Blood dripped on the dirty floor. A man holding his arms seemed to be suddenly called by the gods, his eyes turned red, his tongue stuck out, and he licked the blood.
Then, his throat made a hoarse sound, and the wolf generally rushed to the softly fallen priest. The two white rows of teeth were exposed, biting **** the priest's neck, brushing and tearing off large pieces of flesh. Swallowed in a hurry.
The other men and women were crazy, too, and rushed to the priest, biting his flesh, chewing and admiring it with reverence.
Looking at these believers full of blood and flesh, Fernando can hardly feel a nausea. Although he has also studied necromantics, he has never seen such a sickening scene.
During the crazy fight for food, a lot of blood was wasted and gathered under the corpse, forming a puddle of water.
的 The blood in the "water puddle" suddenly evaporated, creating a hazy blood mist around everyone.
In the mist of blood, a face burst out suddenly.
暗 The dark red is like a veil, stretched tightly on this face, only the protruding parts such as eyes, nose and mouth can be presented, making it endless strange and terrible.
He shouted hoarsely:
"help me!"
Agitated by this voice, Fernando was shocked all over the body, and the drowsiness he left somehow left his body.
At this time, he discovered that the scene inside the crystal ball was still the "normal picture" of the priests reading prayers and men and women in "dance".
"What happened to me just now?" Fernando inquired subconsciously, and soon realized that he was affected by illusion, and unknowingly entered the dream!
He looked around alertly, secretly in his heart: "It is definitely not only a high-level one who can let me unknowingly enter the dream through the previous scene. At least he is also a master, but also a master who is good at dreaming. What does he want to do?
Suddenly, he thought in shock: "The one who called‘ save me ’is the master who made the dream? He made the dream just to call me for help?”
Fernando did not rush out to investigate the dozen or so strangers, because the "call for help" in this way is obviously to escape some existing surveillance. If he rashly acts, he is likely to encounter unexpected events.
"Is the person calling for help imprisoned? No, if he was imprisoned, a little of his leaked power would not affect me at all. Unless his strength is above the legend, that who can imprison him is not something I can provoke. If he was not imprisoned, but was injured and hiding somewhere in the city, it would be so difficult for a master mage to be at least a level nine strong man. He may be nearby ... "
"This method is obviously a magician, so why didn't he directly ask for help from the 'Mage's Mansion', there should be a link to Aalto, unless, unless the 'Mage's Mansion' is monitored by the secretly powerful man, maybe The 'Mage's Residence' also had problems, betrayed or replaced ... "
所以 "So, will the secret strongman leave the city of Couffray to help the magician ask for help?"
Fernando shook his head resolutely, surely not. Maybe if he tried to leave the city, he would be caught and tortured and quietly killed.
At this time, the believers dancing and praying slowly slowed down, as if the ceremony tonight had come to an end.
Fernando's eyes looked at this scene without focus, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind: "Will it be a 'helper' who deliberately did this, let me scare myself, dare not leave Couffray, and then, Tucker disappeared like that ... "
He is a very intelligent person, so he thinks a lot, hesitates for a moment, and does not know which one to believe.
But now that he thinks of Tucker, he seizes the time, opens the notebook, and looks at the following records:
"The prayer ceremony here is too weird ~ www.novelbuddy.com ~ It's very different from what I know ..."
"The more I study the church that develops here, the more I am afraid and afraid. What is this?"
不 "No, why have I never seen anyone leave the city! Why do people who send water and food only return to the gate of the city and never enter the city!"
"I want to escape here!"
The scribbled handwriting was followed by a hopeless blank.
"Is everyone aware of not being able to get out of town ..." Fernando was even more puzzled.
内 In the crystal ball, the prayers stopped and were ready to leave at the orders of the priests.
灵 Fernando flashed to the hall, and exclaimed, "Who are you? Why did you come to Tucker's house without permission?"
I'm here to find Tuke, so I have to act like Tuke, so that I can delay time as much as possible without being noticed and doubted!
"We were invited by Tucker," the ugly monster-like priest replied solemnly and frankly.
"Tuk invited you here?" Fernando was a little surprised, but did not expect this answer.
Uh ...
Huffland and Antec took the tokens given by their teachers and flew towards the city of Coufrey.
"Well, who is the guard who has been on duty recently?" Antec usually didn't pay much attention.
Flan thought for a while and said, "His Excellency of the Origin." (To be continued, if you like this work, you are welcome to come first and vote for the referral and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Please read for mobile users.)
