Chapter five hundred and thirty first: meet the beggar again
In the evening, in the capital of King Fanhusi Zang, a large number of people suddenly appeared on the streets that should have been very quiet.
Soldiers in heavy armor ran on the streets holding dim torches, and the flickering firelight shone on their armor, reflecting a slightly dim light.
In the residential buildings on both sides of the street, some residents who noticed these soldiers watched curiously as these figures suddenly appeared on the street at night and watched them violently break into a building.
"Bang!"
The old wooden door was violently kicked open by the soldiers. The violent sound made the residents who saw all this feel a little uneasy. As long as these soldiers wanted to, they could kick open the door of their own homes at any time. Of course, under normal circumstances
Well, the soldiers wouldn't do that either.
Recently, similar things have happened frequently. A large number of cultists have been captured by the soldiers of the kingdom. In addition, there are also human traffickers, drug dealers, etc. who have been dug out by the way.
"Damn it, it's the Holy Tree Festival soon, and those cultists don't know how to stop for a while." The team leader who led the inspection team held a torch and cursed.
This surprise inspection was very sudden. Because a large number of manpower had to be mobilized, people who should have been taking turns to rest were also called out. This team leader was one of them.
"Did you find anything?" When he walked into the building, the team leader smelled the pungent smell of blood and looked at the deputy team leader beside him and asked.
"Reporting to the captain, it's very strange. After we came in, we only found a large number of corpses of cultists and a kind of blood-red stone." The vice-captain frowned and said with a somewhat confused expression.
"In addition, there are many patterns painted with blood on the walls."
"Yes." The team leader nodded and said, "Take me to see those patterns. As for the stone you mentioned, it is a type of stone called blood stone that these cultists have been collecting recently. It is made of human
Items transformed from flesh and blood.”
"Were those things made by humans?" The vice-captain looked at the blood stones scattered on the ground in disbelief, and he had a better understanding of the crazy behavior of the Guiji cultists.
What they didn't notice, no, rather they didn't know, was that the surfaces of these blood stones scattered randomly on the ground had long lost their blood-red luster, which meant that these blood stones were already in a used state.
.......
"It's like this again..." Lu Qing and Myron Knight stood in the house, looking at the scene in the room and said.
He and Knight Myron have already been to three places that Lin mentioned, but everywhere they could see only the corpses of Guiji cultists, the blood stones that had been used, and the strange walls covered with blood.
symbol.
"What did the mages say?" Lu Qing walked out of the room and looked at Lin who was standing outside the room and said.
"The mages can't analyze the meaning of those strange symbols. They say that those symbols have never been recorded in any known magic book, and even the symbols drawn in each location are different..." paused
After a pause, Lin said with a strange expression:
"They think these symbols are meaningless and may just be drawn randomly by crazy cultists."
"It was drawn randomly, I hope so..." Lu Qing said with a headache. Those blood stones that have dimmed are definitely proof of use, but what exactly do those cultists use blood stones for?
What it was about, they had no idea at all.
"Perhaps those ghostly drawings are just a tactic to attract attention..." Lu Qing lowered her head and thought.
"No." Shaking her head, Lu Qing realized that her own thinking was meaningless, because she was not a professional mage and did not have rich knowledge. She should find a professional to handle this kind of thing.
"Knight Myron, let's go find Moruni." At this moment, Lu Qing thought of someone and said.
"Do you know Moruni?" Knight Myron was stunned for a moment after hearing Lu Qing's words, and said with some surprise.
"Of course I know that I am not a princess for nothing, and I also know that the mage who divined for me that day was Mo Luni." Lu Qing rolled her eyes angrily and said, "Let's go, time is running out."
"Yes." Without any doubts about how Lu Qing knew, Knight Myron quickly followed Lu Qing.
About fifteen minutes later, the two came to the door of the magic house where Moruni was. Probably because it was getting dark, the door of the magic house had been closed, and there was a wooden sign on it that said it was closed.
middle.
Lu Qing didn't care whether Mo Luni was still out of business, she took two steps forward and gently knocked on the door of the magic house with her hand.
"...."
No one responded. After thinking for a while, Lu Qing gave Knight Myron a look and told him to shout to see if he could call Master Moruni over.
Knight Myron gave Lu Qing an "understood" look, walked forward, suddenly raised his right leg, and kicked the door of the magic house hard.
"Bang!!"
The door of the magic house trembled violently, but what was surprising was that the door of this house was not kicked open by Knight Myron. Something like a magic circle appeared on the door.
, maybe it is this thing that resists the power of Myron Knight.
"Which bastard kicked my door!?" A familiar voice sounded from the magic house. After a while, Moruni, wearing a lavender magic robe, walked out of the house.
"Long time no see, Moruni." Knight Myron smiled and waved.
"It's only three months, you guys, why are you kicking my door?" When Moruni saw that the person in front of her was Knight Myron, she lost half of her anger in an instant, and said: "Tell me, you and the princess
Your Highness, what business do you have with me?"
Although Knight Myron's approach was different from what Lu Qing suggested, it was a good thing that it succeeded. Thinking of this, Lu Qing said: "I want to ask you to see something. I have asked most of the mages to see it."
, but they analyzed nothing.”
"What is it? Is it important?" Moruni's expression became a little serious. She turned around and opened the door of the magic house and said, "Don't talk here, come with me."
The three of them walked into the magic house. Mo Luni took Lu Qing to the room where they last conducted divination and said, "Tell me, what is it."
"That's it..." Lu Qing told the information she had obtained about the Guiji cultists and the results obtained after the on-site investigation.
"Do you have any pictures?" Mo Luni asked.
"Yes." Lu Qing took out the patterns recorded by the magicians from her arms and said.
"..." After Mo Luni stared at the picture for a while, she threw the picture into the alchemy furnace not far away and said: "They are all fake, just things to attract attention.
.”
"Hey, apprentice, come out to work!" Moruni shouted to the room on the second floor.
"Come on, come on." A young man who looked familiar came down from the second floor. He looked a little tired, with thick dark circles under his eyes.
"Are you...the beggar at that time?" Lu Qing quickly recognized the other person and said.
