As Miss Anat walked through the garden, she discovered that there was no lively sound in the manor, not even the sound of insects on the summer night. As she got closer to the mansion, she saw the guests attending the open-air banquet lying on the ground.
He was asleep on the ground, but his life was not in danger for the time being.
It seems that wearing a mask is no longer necessary.
Shade used [Blood Echo] to observe again and found that everyone had blood lines on their bodies, but there were none on him and Miss Anat. This world is really very dangerous for ordinary people.
"Although the ceremony has not completely started, the power has begun to affect the surrounding areas. This is beyond the expectations of the association and the Zhengshen Church, but it is good, because there is no need to avoid ordinary people when fighting."
Miss Anat explained.
The closer you get to the mansion, the more you can smell the sweet and fishy smell in the air. When you really get to the outside of the mansion, you even see that the vines that were originally clinging to the wall actually grow blood-red monster flowers.
Miss Anat even picked two flowers and claimed that they were rare and extraordinary materials.
While Shade was hiding behind the hedge "thinking about life" and waiting for things to end, there was no peace in the mansion. Although Mrs. Lasoya of "Mercury Blood" was accidentally trapped by the doctor and others, the man in the burgundy suit was looking for Xia De.
Germany "revenges", but in addition to this organization, believers of the evil god [Lord of the Blood Feast] also entered Lakeview Manor. Moreover, the cultists are actually responsible for the main part of the ceremony of the evil god's coming, and the "blood of mercury" is just to provide
Auxiliary..
One person longs for the evil god's things, and the other longs for the evil god's coming. It's like each gets what he needs.
The ring magicians of the Zhengshen Church first came into contact with the cultists, who triggered the ritual in advance when they saw that something was not going well.
Dr. Schneider, on the other hand, took a step ahead and contacted Mrs. Lasoya directly. After all, he only knew that this guy of unknown gender was a member of Mercury Blood.
Because of this accident, Dr. Schneider now meets Mrs. Lasoya in the banquet hall on the third floor of the mansion, while the team from the Orthodox Church is fighting the cultists on the lower floor. After that, Priest Augustus and Miss Louisa,
He was forced to stay on the third floor because he wanted to find a doctor.
Miss Anat left the mansion not to escape the battle, but because she had a clerical-level [relic] in her hand that required two ring magicians to use.
"We are going to use this relic to defeat Lady Lasoya?"
While walking in a hurry, Shade asked the female fortune teller about the plan.
"Of course not. We need to use this relic to determine the nodes of the evil god's coming ceremony and destroy those main nodes. Otherwise, once the evil god comes, no matter how many people we defeat, we will not be able to escape. The appearance of the [Lord of the Blood Feast] will destroy
Lose the entire Tobesk. Every time this evil god appears, he will definitely launch a blood feast and devour at least an entire city."
Miss Anat seemed to be quite familiar with the structure of the large house in Lakeview Manor. She took Shade into the building through the kitchen and vegetable entrance at the back of the house. Then she used the small stairs used by the servants to avoid the unknown first floor and
On the second floor, go directly to the third floor.
Entering the corridor from the stairwell, in the increasingly thick blood mist, the magnificent passage seems to be decorated with gold, but in fact it is just the elegant gas lamp shade on the wall, deliberately scattering such light. The red carpet extends from one end of the corridor to
At the other end, exquisite and expensive portrait oil paintings hang on the wall.
The doors are all made of yellow solid wood. Together with the smooth floor tiles and the corridor walls covered with wall tiles, they show the wealth of the owner.
It was extremely quiet here, as if no one existed. Shade instinctively felt the danger. In the silence on the third floor, there seemed to be something indescribable peeping at the people in the light from the dark. This feeling of danger was even worse than
Men in burgundy formal suits are even scarier.
Even though the [Lord of the Blood Feast] has not yet appeared, the power has already unconsciously affected mortals.
"The coming ceremony of the evil god was held on the third floor, so the owner of the manor, Little Croun, who was bewitched by the cultists, drove away everyone on the third floor in advance. Now the church's magicians are downstairs, and the five righteous churches are in Tobesk.
In the archdiocese, there are magicians of level ten or above. Although they don't know that the ceremony has been started in advance, according to past practice, they will arrive within fifteen minutes."
The city of Tobesk is the capital of the Kingdom of Delarion, one of the largest kingdoms of mankind. It is a veritable archdiocese. There is even a thirteen-ring warlock stationed here. That is the "Iron Right Hand" Sari under the command of the Righteous God [Ms. Creation].
·Pilot, an old man in his fifties.
"So how long will it take before the ceremony officially takes effect?"
Shade asked.
"Seven minutes."
"Um?"
He blinked, suspecting that he heard correctly, but Miss Anat confirmed that he heard correctly:
"Yes, we are very unlucky. We are the only ones who can stop the ritual now. But fortunately, Mercury Blood and the cultists are entangled, so no one will stop our actions, and we are safe.
"
She noticed that Shade stopped:
"Detective, are you scared?"
Shade shook his head:
"I'm just surprised, why have we become saviors? Logically speaking, this is the mission of the church."
Miss Anat's purple eyes showed a smile, and she did not show any fear:
"They were entangled in a premeditated way, and the other party did not expect that there was an academic ring magician. Detective, we live in this city, in this world, and we are part of it. There are some things that can be escaped, but
Some things cannot be avoided. The evil god summoned by the ritual does not appear in the form of a saint relying on human support, but in its true form... This is a disaster, and no one can escape it."
"I know that since I came with you, I won't run away."
The fortune teller showed a soft smile:
"If it weren't for this level of things, of course we would have to escape. This time we really couldn't escape. But don't worry, we just did our best. We were unlucky enough to be pushed to the front. Now we can be free
We are the only ones taking action, and although it sounds dangerous, it is actually very safe. The ring warlock team of the Zhengshen Church is responsible for the most dangerous mission."
She stamped her foot with the high heel she had knocked off, signaling to the people fighting downstairs.
Shade looked at her feet. Because he was wearing a mask, this action was particularly obvious, so he was patted by the embarrassed woman.
In the fashion of this era, ladies could even cut their evening gowns to reveal a small part of their backs, but exposing their legs was something only prostitutes would do. And staring at ladies' feet was naturally quite impolite.
