However, he was quite satisfied with Lando's efficiency and progress, and he was willing to pay for it this time.
In the past, when he complained to Lando, it was just out of the instinct of an arcanist. As the tenth seat of the Ancient Necromancy School, he naturally did not lack such resources.
They did not touch the demon seed in the secret room for the time being, because the two discovered that in addition to the magic circle that they tentatively named the 'Desire Magic Circle' that absorbed the emotions of the whole city, the runes were also mixed with some monitoring runes.
, I’m afraid the purpose is to check the status of the Demon God’s Seed.
Even with their knowledge, they cannot separate these runes in a short time. Because Claire can only leave the academy for a limited time every day, it will take a few days to complete the layout separately. It would be too early to alert the snake. This demonic seed
Naturally, he won't move easily.
In the next few days, Lando would be in charge of the secret room, maintaining everything as usual, and Claire would come here every night to arrange it.
Because the strength of his opponent was unknown, Claire had to spend a lot of money this time. It could be seen from the corners of his mouth that twitched from time to time that his 'spending money' behavior this time cost a lot of money.
Lando has not been idle during this period. In addition to picking up the wool of the Torrance family, he will also study the newly acquired demon seed. This demon seed has been fully cultivated. Although the total amount of energy is
There are still some shortcomings, but its essence has vaguely surpassed the legendary level, and it is very consistent with the current mental space. If it is given consciousness and cultivated carefully in the future, it may become a good helper.
In addition to research, Lando would wake Bridger up from time to time and ask him for more details related to the "Dark Cult".
One of the things that concerned Lando was that he arranged evil rituals to collect extreme negative emotions in order to cultivate the seed of the devil. This was Bridger's business. Generally speaking, he chose his target freely.
But the strange thing is that every time the archbishop comes to ask for the demon's seed, he will designate several target locations and ask Bridger to hold ceremonies in these places.
Feeling that there must be something fishy, Lando told Claire about it, and the latter also felt that something was wrong. Just in case, Claire went to check it out through her own space skills. In addition to the ruins of the town,
Nothing special was discovered.
Simply speaking, their arrangements here are nearing completion. I believe that as long as they capture this archbishop, many problems can be solved.
…………
Time passed slowly, and soon it came to a week later.
In a deep mountain somewhere in the north of the empire, in a secret room in the shape of a 'dark cult', a man in a black cloak sat cross-legged in the center of the secret room, facing the vague outline carving on the west wall.
Suddenly, the figure of the man in black cloak trembled slightly and came back to consciousness from his long meditation.
He continued to sit cross-legged for a moment, looking slightly dazed, and then realized that there was a reason why he was awake.
The man in black cloak first bowed devoutly to the vague outline on the wall, then stood up and came to the north wall.
I saw that the walls were still carved with various deeds, but the protagonists of the stories were replaced by various demons.
Seeds of demons with insect heads and human bodies are fighting in a bloody battle.
There is a demon seed like a giant octopus with endless tentacles wandering in the void.
There are invisible and materialless demonic seeds that travel through the hearts of intelligent beings.
There is a demon seed with a handsome appearance and a holy light that is receiving worship from all living beings.
…………
Most of these carvings are ordinary objects, but some of them shine with a different brilliance.
Traveling through the hearts of intelligent beings, the invisible and insubstantial seed of the devil is one of them.
And at this time, the light on this demon's seed was rippling slightly, as if it had been disturbed by something.
The man in black cloak thought for a moment, got up and walked out of the secret room.
After leaving the secret room, it was morning outside, and the warm sunlight shone on the man in black cloak, giving him a long-lost sense of warmth.
"Cough... cough cough..."
A violent cough interrupted the peaceful atmosphere, and when he put down the hand covering his mouth, traces of blood fainted in his palm.
"Is your body going to be unable to hold on? It seems that before the new archbishop is born, the 'Dark Cult' should also enter the latent state again. Fortunately, after these hundreds of years, my god's injuries have improved from near death.
The state has been restored, and maybe I will be able to wake up on my own in the near future."
"Ahem... Anyway, let's get rid of all the unstable factors in the 'Dark Cult' this time, especially my dear brother and lovely nephew."
After talking to himself, the man in black cloak took a deep breath again, feeling the beauty of the world, and his figure slowly disappeared.
Not long after, the man in black cloak arrived outside Ragnar City. At this time, the city was still peaceful and peaceful, with people singing and dancing.
Feeling that the magic circle was still working, the man in black cloak nodded, a hazy light and shadow covering his body, and everyone turned a blind eye to him.
Arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, he entered directly. When he was near the small lake, he stopped. After thinking for a moment, the man in black cloak gently fiddled with a node of the magic circle.
This move not only made everyone in Ragnar City feel their hearts skip a beat, but also made a figure in the secret room at the bottom of the lake suddenly open his eyes.
After waiting for a moment, the man in black cloak narrowed his eyes. Just when he was about to do something, the lake slowly parted, and 'Bridger' appeared in front of the former.
"I'm sorry, sir, I've been a little too involved in my practice." 'Bridger' bowed and apologized.
The man in black cloak was unconvinced about this explanation.
"Where's the stuff? How's it going?"
"Sir, it's mature and waiting for you to pick it up."
After saying that, 'Bridger' made a gesture of invitation, then turned around naturally and led the way to the secret room first.
This gesture of completely exposing his weakness made the man in black cloak feel more at ease, and he felt that the strength in the other person was only peaceful, without the slightest malice, which made his tumbling mind calm down slightly.
Following 'Bridger', he crossed the narrow door of the secret chamber. Every time he passed through this door, the man in black cloak wanted to say something, but he also knew that this was for the integrity of the magic circle inside the secret chamber.
After the text was drawn, there was only a small amount of space left to make the door to the secret room, so I won’t go into details. I just couldn’t help but sigh in my heart. It would have been better if the secret room had been built bigger.
