Looking over from here, you can just see the abandoned church.
William lay in the shadows, staring at the building, with suppressed flames at the bottom of his eyes: "Bran...is this here?"
"Yes, Uncle Bran wasted a precious opportunity to appreciate the beauty by investigating the nearby situation for you. He did not find any secret gatherings, but found an evil den... You righteous young man, quickly form your adventure group and promote
Defeat this evil stronghold and let the whole city sing about your merits."
The White Tower crow on his shoulder jumped back and forth and cried.
"Shut up, have you read too many adventure novels? I am just a second substance. Although I have a grudge against the 'Blood Club', they can easily crush me to death!"
William said with an unlucky face: "At most, you should be an enthusiastic citizen and report it to the investigation bureau..."
"Speaking of those black skins..." Crow Bran croaked again: "There was something wrong with that person before... He smelled like black skins, but his behavior was not very similar."
"So... an investigator doing private work? Or a former investigator? A fallen investigator?" William thought for a while and found that there wasn't much that could be used.
"But this has nothing to do with us. Let's go... I need to go to the big library to get more knowledge and prepare for opening the third essence..."
He stood up and prepared to leave.
At this moment, a violent explosion suddenly came from the location of the dilapidated church.
"Something happened?"
He quickly lay down on the ground and stared warily in the direction of the church.
I saw a ball of sparks rushing into the sky, sweeping flames, rolling smoke and dust, and finally formed a small mushroom cloud.
"This...this is how many explosives are buried."
Feeling the tremor in his eardrums and the trembling from the building beneath him, William was speechless.
"From the perspective of smart Uncle Bran... this is a trap. Once someone comes to the door, those crazy guys will directly light the bomb buried at the bottom of the church..." Bran Crow cried.
"Is this an arrangement for the Investigation Bureau? Sure enough, the evil believers are all a bunch of lunatics..."
William stood up neatly: "It's time for us to leave. Such a big movement will definitely attract a lot of people."
He quickly went down the stairs and hid in the darkness.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew by.
The biting cold made William couldn't help but stop. He cautiously took out a charm and glanced around.
Silence, darkness...
The sound that reached his ears suddenly became much softer, as if he had entered a realm of silence.
In the cold and dead silence, a transparent and illusory figure slowly emerged.
He has a handsome face, purple eyes, and is dressed in complicated and gorgeous ancient aristocratic attire. He is none other than the 'Evil Spirit' Auclair!
"It's the 'evil spirit' of the fourth element!! William, you're done!"
The crow on William's shoulder screamed in despair.
"The evil spirit of the Sotos family?"
William looked at this evil spirit with a strange expression.
A stiff smile appeared on Auclair's face: "The blood descendants of Sothos... our ancestors have returned. Are you willing to fight to restore the glory of Sothos?"
"Ancestor? The legendary Earl of Green Forest?"
William was a little strange: "Why do I feel...you seem to know me?"
Aaron chuckled: "You have passed the inspection of our members... His name is Aaron Yugus! He was also your previous boss!"
Although he decided to deal with the church stronghold, he also considered the possibility of it being a trap.
Therefore, although others arrived in Pulmouth, their true form was hidden and they continued to act as an 'evil spirit'.
In this way, even if he is caught and beaten to death, he will probably be resurrected.
That big explosion was not actually caused by the Gourmet Association.
Extraordinaries with the 'red' aspect are good at hand-to-hand combat and curses, but their physical attacks are not much weakened. They use explosives as traps and kill more of their own people than their enemies!
These explosives were brought by him through the channels of the Green Banyan Council.
Anyway, the 'evil spirit' is almost completely immune to physical attacks, and even if it dies... it can be resurrected!
As a result, the "evil spirit" was not damaged at all, but it blew up the entire church into the sky, and unexpectedly harvested a "red" inhuman relic.
Even if the vitality of non-human beings is greatly enhanced, it is still difficult for a 'red' extraordinary person to survive in the center of such an explosion...
Unfortunately, before he died, the opponent was still thinking about how to use his extraordinary abilities to defeat his opponent. When he saw Aaron taking out explosives from the 'Meat Eater's Bag', his expression was quite exciting...
After taking care of the stronghold of the Gourmet Association, Aaron found William hiding around and came to say hello.
He was also somewhat concerned about the talking crow that suddenly appeared next to William.
'Spiritual creatures?!'
'It seems that the bloodline is very extraordinary...'
At this time, Aaron was thinking to himself silently as he stared at the crow named Bran.
"What are you doing?" Bran was so frightened that he covered his body with his wings: "Did you fall in love with my beauty?!"
Bang!
Aaron flicked Bran with an expressionless expression, and several black feathers fell in the air.
Aaron held one of them in his hand and looked at it carefully.
"Haha... Bran has always had a bad mouth, don't mind it." William forced a smile on his face and almost scolded Bran to death in his heart.
In the hidden world, not respecting the strong is a sin!
"Okay, tell me if you are willing?"
Aaron ignored the crow and continued to ask: "Join us... you will receive the protection of an 'immortal', and you will also receive secret transmissions from the 'bachelor' and the 'wise man'."
"Do I have any other choice?" William smiled bitterly and his expression became firm: "I will join!"
"Very good, I will give you an honorary name. It does not point to the great being worshiped by the 'Invisible Hermitage', but directly points to our ancestor, the Earl of Green Forest!"
This was an idea that came to Aaron after seeing Bran the Crow.
"The honorary name of our great ancestor is 'the founder of earthly mysticism and the inspirer of modern science, the great Aaron Sotos!'"
Aaron said in a mysterious tone.
"Being both the founder of mysticism and the inspirer of science, I always feel very contradictory..."
William complained in his heart, with a solemn expression on his face: "I remember."
"Very good, remember to pronounce it in the language of the spirit world. As for the rituals and sacrifices, there are no requirements. Our blood is the best connection."
Aaron said something and the figure slowly disappeared.
It was a rare visit to Pulmouth, and he still had a lot to do.
By the way, you can also take a look at Metana and others and supervise their work.
