When Woody heard Cecil's words, he stretched out his left hand to the sky without hesitation. Everyone except Rhea immediately stopped in place.
He looked at Cecil and said softly.
"Can the number of people be detected?"
He believed what Cecil said without any reservation, and Cecil did not betray his trust. He saw this beautiful mage girl closing her sea-blue eyes and carefully sensing the detection guard passing by.
Information.
The size of the outer perimeter of the temple is only about three or four times the size of Green Creek Town. Cecil only sent six small detection guards like worker bees, which was enough to cover most areas, and a feedback alarm came from
The one passed by the third guard is not far from here.
After Cecil immersed his mind in the ocean of consciousness, he opened his eyes and saw a brand new vision, hazy and illusory, but what appeared in his mind was extremely real. As the picture gradually became clearer, Cecil
He also saw clearly everything presented in front of him.
One, two, three...
"There are a total of six priests in robes, and one... young man in gorgeous clothes?"
"They seem to be escorting him somewhere."
"If nothing else happens, in five minutes we will meet them in the circular square in the middle."
Cecil carefully followed the maps and routes fed back by the guards and shared the information he had collected. It must be said that when high-level mages acted as scouts for the team, their accuracy and professionalism were unparalleled by most rangers.
It is incomparable to rogues. After all, the power of magic is much higher than that of mortals. Those crazy researchers will study all possible spells.
Just like the invisibility spell that can make ordinary people disappear, in the rogue's professional system, if you want to be completely invisible, you must have a very high shadow affinity. Otherwise, it will be difficult to disappear in the daylight and you can only hide in the shadows.
In an inconspicuous corner, the magic is different. Even if your shadow affinity is zero or even a negative number, the various invisibility spells that can cover up all sounds, smells, and even movement trajectories are exactly what the caster does with this spell.
The results of the above research.
"Five minutes?"
Woody thought about this time, then raised his head and said to Riya next to Kafferman.
"People inside the temple appear outside. What is the general situation?"
"And that young man, are there many people like you in the temple?"
"……."
Ruiya's eyes were also a little confused. Apparently the person Cecil mentioned about the visitor shocked her for a moment, but she soon thought of a possibility and hurriedly explained.
"Sacrifice are usually dealt with internally. Generally speaking, they rarely leave the temple unless they want to meet someone or have something to do."
"Then Cecil, can you see clearly what that young man looks like?"
Woody has some guesses in his mind, but there is still a lack of additional evidence.
After hearing this, Cecil thought seriously for a moment, shook his head and said.
"You can see it, but I haven't seen him before. However, the attire does not look like someone from this plane. Instead, he looks like a lonely nobleman. By the way, his facial features..."
Speaking of the latter, Cecil suddenly thought of something and looked at the natural spirit who had been on the edge of the team. Woody naturally noticed it. He thought about it and stepped forward to ask.
"Do you have any impression of the boy Cohen sent here? Or did Cohen leave some back-up here?"
Regarding Woody's question, the spirit of nature pondered for a while, as if trying to search for something in Cohen's memory, but soon, he shook his head in confusion.
"The heirs he sent here were, on the one hand, in exchange for strength, and on the other hand, to maintain his rule. His policies over the years have been secretly opposed by the entire family..."
"As for the people he sent here, I really don't have much impression. In my opinion, they all look similar. However, in Cohen's memory, there is no plan to leave a back-up in the temple. Instead, he has been wary of it.
In this temple, what he was thinking most about at that time was that after the curse was lifted, this plane would be liquidated or replaced."
Woody couldn't help but laugh.
"That's really far-reaching."
"Nobles, greed and bottomless demands are their natural instincts, but what kind of creatures, even the most common trees in nature, want to absorb more sunlight."
The spirit of nature shook his head helplessly and asked Cecil.
"If you describe his appearance carefully, maybe I can figure out who he is."
After Cecil said what he said, the spirit of nature looked stunned and murmured.
"It's Sokman, the illegitimate son he had with his mistress. He had been serving as an apprentice to a knight before. Later, he was sent here by Cohen. It was claimed that he fell from a horse and died. But this was all a few years ago.
How is he still alive?"
The spirit of nature recalled a series of things about Sokman in his memory, and could not hide his surprise on his face. After all, no one could accept it calmly when they heard that a person who should have died a few years ago was still alive.
Well, he asked again and again.
"are you sure?"
"That's right. Although his hair is brown, his eyes are very strange. They are pure ink color. People in the south and north rarely have such eyes. Only countries on the other side of the desert have such eyes.
Black eyes."
Cecil also tried hard to listen to the guards observing the sallow-faced boy in the row walking through the building in the picture.
"Tell me... are they aware of it?"
Kafferman carefully raised a tentative topic.
"Perceive what?"
Ruiya replied subconsciously.
"Aware that the real Cohen may be dead."
When Woody said these words, his expression was normal, without any abnormality.
Cecil also nodded approvingly.
"It is indeed true, and only in this way can it be explained."
"Then do they value the territory of Golden River Valley? Are they finally planning to take action? Or should they lay the groundwork there first?"
Although Kafferman is already very old, his sense of smell in this area is still particularly keen. He immediately thought that the main messenger of the temple in front of him was no longer willing to cultivate and recuperate behind the scenes, but planned to come to the stage.
forward.
"The reason why the temple takes action is not just faith. A shepherd must have sheep to be a shepherd, right?"
Woody understood clearly, it seemed that this was the reason why the belief in Quetzalcoatl suddenly sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
After Cohen died, did he notice it and immediately use a replacement?
But he probably didn't succeed, otherwise the final ruler of the Golden River Valley would not have been an unknown aborigine.
"Let's avoid them first! Don't run into them."
Woody, who only wanted to complete the ascension ceremony and lift the fog, had no reason to have a head-on conflict with the Lost Temple at this time. He didn't want to open a copy now. Even if he wanted to open it, he had to see the true nature of this place.
The meaning of the master.
"We could have completely missed them by just turning left from the corner in front instead of right, it was just a bit of a detour."
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
Cecil now has almost a full view of the map and quickly gives useful suggestions.
Ruiya didn't express any opinion, but when she saw that Cecil was already more familiar with the layout of the entire temple than she was, she vaguely expressed a little desire, but she looked at the old man next to her, with white hair on her temples.
However, it was obvious that her former partner, who was approaching her twilight years, still gave up that desire, and the determined expression returned to her face.
"Let's go! I'll take you there. There's a detour and a shortcut you can take back. It won't take much time, but you have to be fast. The divine guards have appeared. It's possible that High Priest Carl will come out of the temple. Although
I haven't seen him for half a year."
Naturally, no one had any objections, and Cecil was very happy to hear that it didn't take much time.
After all, the detection guard cannot detect radiation from every road. If she uses the "insight technique" that can detect all terrain within three kilometers, it might be possible, but that would be worse than the detection guard hiding, because that
At some point, an eye the size of a human head would appear above the temple. Cecil wouldn't do such a stupid thing unless he was clearly exposing himself.
Woody's expression did not change, but when he saw the gloomy expression of the spirit of nature, he knew that he must have been affected by Carverman and everyone's speculation earlier.
After all, he is still in the face of Cohen. Although it is not clear what his plans will be after Cohen's death, he is definitely not willing to spend the territory he has managed and end up with a mysterious organization that Cohen is attached to. Or is it?
The biggest reason for his master's death.
"Don't be impulsive, they will pay the price, but not now."
In order to prevent him from having random thoughts and sabotaging the implementation of the plan, Woody naturally had to stabilize him. He didn't want to have a random bomb that suddenly went berserk. This would be unfair to other people who trusted him and came to this plane.
"I know."
Cohen nodded indifferently and did not talk much, but the emotion in his eyes already revealed his disgust for this place.
As his memories increased, he realized that this place was not a safe place for him. Instead, it was a place where he could constantly recall the appearance of his master Aisha when she died tragically. Without the curse spread here, those in the city would
How could the people be so agitated that they wanted to hang the lord's wife?
Of course, the number one hatred in my heart is naturally the dead Cohen. He wants to rule the Golden River Valley, and part of it is because he wants to take revenge on that family. Let the territory ruled by their family disappear in the hands of Cohen, presumably even to the Styx.
, what greeted him would never be the joy of reunion, but countless murmurs.
After avoiding the group of temple believers who didn't know what to do, Woody and the others soon arrived at the first destination of their trip, the obelisk, the sacred area mentioned by Ruiya. There was a row next to it that seemed to be used for
In the center of the bench for resting, there are three eye-catching three huge stone tablets that look like sword blades, with half of the sword tips exposed. On them are engraved an uncountable number of ancient runes.
"Let me do it!"
Arriving at a familiar location, the spirit of nature naturally walked forward without hesitation. Under the stone tablet, it told something with its face. In short, the originally dim runes all lit up at this moment, like fireflies in the dark night.
, extremely eye-catching.
Kafferman, Rhea, Doni, and Woody couldn't help but stare.
Cecil was immediately attracted by just one glance. She couldn't help but take out the phantom bead that could retain the image from the space ring. She took it all out at once and read the talismans carved on these stone tablets in all directions.
The text was photographed.
"This is the core of the Mystery Lock activation!"
After a series of operations, Cecil looked at the stone tablet with surprise on her face, and spoke repeatedly to Woody. There was uncontrollable surprise in her voice. Her desire to tell was also extremely strong at this moment, as if she was seeing a rare sight.
Like a treasure.
"This thing is very crucial, and the fog is just one of its many methods. In addition to locking the distribution of the valley and preventing outsiders from entering and exiting, it can also release the accumulated life force, allowing all creatures in the valley to gain vitality and blessings.
Injuries and trauma to the land will be healed quickly, and dead natural spirits can also be summoned... My God, this is at least a legendary enchantment spell, no wonder I can't leave here with my knowledge."
"Woody, this is a big discovery. This is definitely a lost legendary spell, and no one knows about it."
"Do you know what this means? Hahahaha."
Speaking of the latter part, Cecil couldn't help but laugh. Apparently, what she originally thought was just a journey away from here suddenly turned into a long-awaited treasure hunt, and the surprise given to her was so great.
She can't wait to tell all the scenes here to her teacher in the North. I believe she will be interested in knowing that there is such a powerful and man-made legendary spell.
"Not bad."
Woody did not experience this in his last life. At that time, as the fog cleared, no one had used the obelisk in this copy. Naturally, no one knew that it actually recorded the core spells of a legendary mage.
"I really didn't expect it, but that's right. How could a temple dedicated to demigods be so simple? It's just that a lot of everything perished after Asenrant was infected by the corrupt mother tree."
"Huh, I don't know if there are no players in this life."
"Are there many things like the spells on this obelisk?"
"Buried in the garbage heap of history, no one looks through it, no one searches for it."
For some reason, when thinking of this, Woody felt an indescribable sense of mission.
However, the sense of mission went away as quickly as it came, and soon the spirit of nature exhaled tiredly and said "It's OK".
