Parallel Armies——The Sound of the Turning Tide Chapter 22 The Oracle
[Hmph, hey, this is trying to lure me in with your body. How could I be fooled? Will I...] Alexander gritted his teeth and chased after him.
Alexander and Kanas could think that in fact, such an attack did not pose any threat to the wedding at all. The number of spell scrolls and equipment that the team had applied alone exceeded hundreds. Logically speaking, the enemy should be very clear before launching the attack.
At this point, this attack was like a clumsy trick of a child deliberately trying to attract the attention of adults.
While chasing, Alexander thought about where his current direction and destination might be.
Kanas saw the scene where Alexander was chasing after him. From the perspective of the wedding alone, the escort was over this time. Now that he thought about it, the words of the Naga escort captain should have a different meaning.
"It's a very clumsy way to lure the tiger away from the mountain, but why? Unless this attack is to cover up something more troublesome, the internal struggle of mankind? Forget it, as long as the wedding is successfully completed." Kanas continued to protect the princess.
While Kanas and other Nagas killed the sea and human zombies, the people working in the aftermath seemed to be ready to clean up.
Alexander chased after him, but he didn't expect that his destination was the cannery. The ordinary seafood placed in the yard began to stink, and the whole yard smelled bad. "Damn it, I was tricked."
You don't even need to try to identify it to be sure that a curse circle is arranged here. Fortunately, this circle should be very easy to destroy. It is on the second floor of the core building of the circle.
The curse effect produced by a single medium is not strong, but the size of this magic circle is quite large, so either the curse effect will be doubled, or the scope of the curse will be expanded.
Alexander took a deep breath, then rushed into the building and went upstairs. The second floor was a place where fish scales and bones were removed and preliminary pickled. Inside there was a circular sculpture made of blood, blue fish scales, and five candles.
Array.
Seeing that the situation would be over as long as the fire was extinguished, Alexander kicked a nearby basket of bones to extinguish the candle.
In addition, there is also a detailed self-made book on common sea beasts. This book writes in Common and Sea people languages on the first page of the table of contents: There are still several years before our Lord wakes up. It is so short. Other believers
Being so stupid and preparing to awaken our Lord in advance is really unforgivable. Alexander Johnson, you seem to have noticed for a long time that the ceremony can be destroyed by your own hands, and you have no other choice.
Below are some curse-removing materials written in Common Language and produced in the Aren't Forest, and curse-removing materials produced in the Deep Zone written in Sea Tribe language. These materials can be used to make a curse-removing potion that can relieve ichthyosis.
"Ah? You're going to say this? Then you didn't say it to me face to face? Is there something wrong? I didn't even know what I noticed!" Alexander picked up the books and materials and went down to the basement to see if the two brothers were dead. But
There's no one around, it's just an ordinary kitchen downstairs.
"Is it purely an illusory sound... Sigh." Alexander felt a little depressed and left helplessly.
People from the Church of the Holy God of Glory also rushed over. They were several paladins and a muscular man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. The big man was wearing a white priest uniform. Although it was specially made, he still looked uncomfortable. "Archbishop, this is it.
.”
"Well, are you here? My Excellency Alexander Johnson, a member of the Thirteen Mad Wolf Mercenary Group, is hunting down the Evil God Priest. Who are you?"
"I know you, the oracle has indeed come true." The muscular man excitedly said a bunch of nonsense.
"Oracle? What oracle?" Alexander felt a headache.
The muscular man explained that the general meaning was that another priest received the oracle from Kaleven last night, saying that a tall female mercenary would find a solution to ichthyosis before they did.
"Well... I found it, I found it." Alexander handed the book to them. "But I can't guarantee whether it will be useful."
"That's it. It's been a big help." The muscular man looked at it. "If possible, I hope you can accept the commission to find the materials to break the curse of the Ara no Mori."
Alexander felt a tightness in his chest. Was this all part of Ronan's plan? "Okay, we can set off after my two team members come back."
"Sorry, sorry, this is something that needs careful consideration. The church will officially issue the commission. At that time, the thank you gift will be placed in the mercenary industry together with the deposit." A paladin explained.
"I understand, I'll help you." Alexander still wanted to rush back to the Duke's Mansion to have a look.
"Return to the team, you guys go back to the bureau first, I'm going to the cathedral to report this matter." The muscleman and the paladins left respectively.
There was no one outside the Duke's Palace. Alexander found a passerby to ask if the wedding went well in the end, and then returned to the hotel depressedly to see if Fangni and Hitz had returned.
Alexander returned to the hotel and saw the two of them having breakfast, so he also ordered one. After that, he roughly explained the previous situation to them, and then asked them if they had learned anything.
Fageni explained the situation in the village, "As a result, we still haven't caught anything in the past few days."
"Although it was expected that someone would mess up the wedding, I feel bad that I didn't make it." Heath was very sorry, after all, the original plan did not start so early.
"It feels like there is no useful news... Ah, the test result of that ring came out, and then it became one hundred and thirty Lindsay. Let's go shopping, and then prepare to collect materials." Alexander scooped a spoonful of oatmeal.
Put it in your mouth.
"Okay." Fageni nodded.
"I don't completely believe Ronan's message, but... there are no other clues now. Unless we go to the uninhabited island mentioned by the sailor before to try our luck." Alexander mentioned.
"That uninhabited island? Even if you can't find any clues, you might still be able to make some money." Fageni thought there might be treasure hidden on that island.
"Maybe we will die there. At this time, it is best not to cause trouble unless it is absolutely necessary." Alexander thought it would be better to go to the Desolate Forest first.
"Okay, okay. How difficult is this commission? Can you bring Chester with you?" Fageni shrugged helplessly, and then changed the subject.
Alexander said angrily: "Do you think I will know? It won't be too late for us to ask after the church issues a formal commission at the Mercenary Industrial Bank."
"Chester can only deal with bandits and robbers now with the skills we taught him. It's too dangerous." Heath gave his own opinion.
"Okay, but without actual combat, he won't get much growth. The tasks we are doing now are far different from his strength. As Hitz said, at most he can only deal with ordinary bandits."
Fageni agreed.
"Although he has a magic book, I have just translated it, and it is not complete. I don't know what Chester has learned now." Heath planned to go upstairs to ask.
"In fact, it is better to kick Chester out of the mercenary group and let him join a low-level mercenary group suitable for his strength. He is not a problem here now." Fageni thought of a way, but then shook his head.
I feel bad.
After entering the Duke's Palace and the second half of the wedding ceremony, Kanas also completed its main duties.
Even if they don't really love each other, the Duke and the Princess are already officially a couple, and are still recognized by God.
And it’s not a relationship where we hate each other, so if we deepen our understanding of each other, this will be a happy ending.
At this time, Lailan looked much better than usual. Now he and Bai Ni were in a pavilion in a mansion talking about something unknown.
But before the lunch break, the Naga guard captain found Kanas, his expression seemed to be suppressing anger, and in his hand was a thin slate used by the Sea Tribe to spread information.
"What's wrong? Have you dealt with all the intruders?" Kanas asked.
"The matter has been resolved, but the cause was the Sea Tribe. Several fish-man settlements believed in the evil sea beasts sealed in the deep area, and some Nagas were also indirectly involved in the matter. Today's attack, including the subsequent manhunt,
In addition to humans, there were also murlocs, naga and even mermaids captured there.”
"Another group of drowned people were swallowed up by the shadows in the deep area. This time there were actually Nagas and fish-men involved? What happened to me during the few years I was out?" Kanas felt very strange.
"The Mermaid King has reached a series of agreements with the King of Bakato Kingdom. The content of the agreement is beneficial to the entire sea clan in terms of results. But it requires someone to work hard and even make sacrifices. And now there are some humans because of these
The curse spread by the traitors has been tortured. If a representative of the Sea Tribe participates in the process of lifting the curse, the situation can be reversed. Just last night, the seal in the Deep Zone became loose. Although it has been reinforced,
This is a bad phenomenon, and it will definitely loosen up again in the near future. It is difficult to say whether there is any conspiracy under the current undercurrent, but it is better to expose the internal problems of the Hai Clan now than to appear when it is irreversible."
"I am that representative? I went to help a group of scaleless people to lift the curse on them due to their stupidity. Ah, I heard about our defeat, but this, forget it." Kanas' tail tapped dissatisfiedly.
It hit the ground, and the magic copper ring on it hit the stone floor and caused stone chips to fly everywhere.
"Not only that, there are more important things. If you are unwilling to accept it, other soldiers will be sent." The captain was not surprised.
"Let's talk about it first," Kanas said.
"We, the Sea Clan, have been stuck in our ways for a long time. Not to mention the mainland, we don't have enough understanding of this sea alone. The Sea Clan needs a clear eye to observe the development of the situation. The special products recovered from the Deep Zone this time are specially
The equipment is also made to extend the line of sight to the mainland, and this matter will not be left to one person, but if it is you, you can rest assured." Kanas is indeed a warrior worthy of the captain's trust, and this is not
