After figuring out what was going on, all the witches could only look at each other in embarrassment, perhaps with a hint of fear hidden in their hearts: They didn't expect that they would take such a big risk to save people, but in the end, they would ruin Hessiana's big plan.
, and even risked exposing the sleeping place of an ancient vampire. Hesiana's own anger may not be the most terrifying thing, but the most terrifying thing is the revenge from the vampires - for those who attach extreme importance to class and elders and inferiors.
As far as the vampires are concerned, a ten thousand-year-old ancient ancestor has an unimaginable status among all vampires. What if those hidden families knew that it was a group of witches who were eager to show off their merits and attracted demon hunters to encircle and destroy the "tomb" of their ancestors?
, then do people here still have a way to survive?
These witches still don’t understand the specialness of Vivian, a famous poor ghost, among the vampires...
Hao Ren glanced at the aggrieved Hesiana and the silent witches, and at the same time guessed how this incident ended in the original history - the original history did not involve the participation of two powerful foreign aids, himself and Lily.
, so maybe the action of this group of witches was not successful at all, or even if it was successful, it did not have too big an impact. After all... in the eyes of a demon hunter, the threat index of a hundred witches combined is probably not as good as that of a werewolf.
"Okay, okay, the matter has come to an end anyway, we have to think about the next thing." The witches did not dare to speak, and Barn was silent. Hao Ren could only speak to break the deadlock, "The witcher must
The message will be received, and if they didn’t show up directly, then maybe it’s just like Hesiana you said, they went to ask for support.”
"Alas -" Hesiana took a long breath, "I know it's useless to be angry after what happened. By the way, I haven't asked your name yet, and you are Lady Vivian's
Friend, how could you get together with these confused witches? What's going on with the werewolf next to you?"
The little bat spirit looked at Hao Ren with a look of seriousness and imperceptible respect. It was obvious that the trust and "majesty" Hao Ren had worked hard to create before was quite successful.
"My name is Hao Ren, and the werewolf next to me is Lily. We have known Vivian for a long time - you also know that Vivian is an anomaly among the vampires. As long as she is not provoked, she will be with any race.
We can get along with each other. As for these witches... I met them by chance. I didn't know your plan at the time. I thought you were really captured by others, so I followed them to rescue people in a hurry. "
"Ms. Vivian is still friends with werewolves?" Hesiana stared at Lily as if she were a rare animal, causing the latter to stare at her with the same wide eyes. "She is indeed friends with many races...but with werewolves
Then all that's left is a literal 'fight'... Tsk, tsk, this werewolf must be an unprecedented weirdo."
If an ordinary werewolf heard Hesiana's remarks, he would have been furious, but Lily just wrinkled her nose and frowned, made a face at Hessiana, and then lowered her head to nibble on the snacks.
Hesiana: "...He is indeed an abnormal guy."
"What are you going to do next?" Hao Ren looked at the little bat spirit, "Sooner or later the demon hunters will come, and there will definitely not be just one or two by then. I'm afraid Vivian's sleeping place cannot be saved. You have to go back.
Will the City of Shadows bring in reinforcements?”
"The City of Shadows won't send anyone," Hesiana bit her lip, her face full of disdain, "There are a bunch of frightened losers, let them come out and confront the witcher's hunting team.
It is better to let them die than to fight - and to be honest, no shelter today does not have the ability to confront the demon hunters. Once the City of Shadows is exposed, it will inevitably be fully attacked by the demon hunters.
No one can afford to take the risk of encirclement and suppression."
It seems that Hesiana has not yet established her own power in the Athens Sanctuary, and lacks the right to speak and appeal. She just uses Vivian's reputation to be a leisurely person in the city but has no sense of presence.
She is only a second generation noble, so it’s no wonder that this time she had to go out alone to do this, without even a subordinate by her side.
"Then we can only consider moving Vivian away." Hao Ren wanted to say that if he took action, he might be able to confront the demon hunters, but then he thought that his real target was Vivian.
So the words came out calmly to guide the topic, "Do you know the specific location where she is sleeping?"
"You don't know?" Hesiana had a puzzled expression on her face.
"I only know roughly that it is in this area, but I don't know the exact location." Hao Ren spread his hands, "She ran away suddenly when she was sleeping last time."
"Oh, this is also in line with her usual style," Hesiana said without doubting him, "What you said is also what I am thinking... Maybe we can transfer Lady Vivian, but it is not easy, I need
A few helpers are here to help me deal with the magic warning there - you guys should be familiar with shadow magic, right?"
She looked at several witches and wizards Barn, and Mrs. Mary nodded quickly when she heard this: "Of course, shadow magic is the basis for us to embark on the path of black magic. It's just... with the strength of us people, we can really help.
What's your business? That's where the ancient vampires slept..."
Obviously, this witch didn't want to be used as cannon fodder by Hesiana in that mysterious sleeping place.
"Don't worry, as long as you know the power of shadow," Hesiana nodded, "I can help you with the most difficult and dangerous parts. I just need some manpower to help maintain the stability of the shadow border - Lady Vivian
Sleeping in an ancient castle nearby, but no one has ever found clues in the castle. This is because the castle has been enchanted, and its true side is always out of sight of the observer, and half of it is
A castle sinks in the inaccessible shadow world. I know the route to that shadow world, but because Lady Vivian is sleeping, she will not open the door for us, so we can only open the door from the outside - Wizard
You guys, your task is just to prevent the power of shadow from leaking into the real world and attracting the attention of the demon hunters during the process of opening the door. I think you can still handle a task of this level, right? As long as you can perform well this time
Okay, I will wipe out the trouble you have caused this time, and I can also take you to the City of Shadows myself."
The witches nodded after hearing this, which made it much less difficult.
"You need a key to the world of shadows," Hesiana said as she conjured a small black crystal from somewhere. It looked like an obsidian fragment, but it had more breath on its surface.
The constantly pulsing blood-colored thread, "At the same time, it is also a beacon in the shadows. You should familiarize yourself with its aura now. After we enter the castle, if anyone accidentally falls into the illusion or the shadow cage, follow this
If the direction of the breath keeps moving forward, it will meet me."
The wizard Barn couldn't help but look up when Hesiana took out the key, and exclaimed sincerely: "It's really pure shadow energy... Ordinary human wizards may not be able to extract such a crystal in their lifetime."
Barn's exclamation made the witches nod their heads one after another. Only Lily didn't care: she felt that this dark stone was not as beautiful as the "bark treasures" she had collected...
The black crystal was passed around in everyone's hands, and everyone carefully recorded the magic waves emitted by the crystal. The witches first "passed" it around, then Hao Ren and Lily took it, and finally passed it to the wizard Barn's hand.
superior.
While Barn was carefully caressing the shadow crystal, Hesiana began to explain her next arrangements: "The demon hunters are probably already mobilizing manpower at this time, and the time left for us is very limited. Everyone will do it tonight.
For the necessary rest, I must set off as soon as daybreak, trying to arrive at the castle before noon tomorrow. The midday sun will weaken the shadow power in the castle, and I will be faster when cracking the door, and at the same time, I can avoid disturbing the shadow world.
Those soulless guards in there - this time, Lady Vivian has been sleeping for more than two hundred years at a stretch. The soulless guards she set up have probably become extremely violent. The less trouble we can have, the less trouble we have..."
Just as Hesiana was halfway through her words, a strong signal of crisis suddenly appeared in Hao Ren's heart.
And Hesana was only a moment slower than him, and then her expression changed drastically: "Be careful!"
Several bright silver thin lines suddenly appeared in the mist-filled mid-air. They were the tracks left by the holy silver crossbow arrows piercing the air. Hesiana and Lily instantly flew in different directions to dodge, and Hao Ren was also the first to do so.
Time strengthened their rigid shields, but the witches did not react so quickly: a witch was hit in various vital points by three crossbow arrows in the blink of an eye, and was swallowed up by the sacred power of the crossbow arrows before she even had time to scream.
The whole person was ignited into a blazing human-shaped torch and was quickly wiped out. Although two other witches luckily escaped fatal injuries, they were passed by by the powerful energy carried by the crossbow arrows and fell to the ground seriously injured!
Immediately afterwards, various rune spells and more crossbow arrows flew from all directions, as if the sickle of death swept through the air, filled with murderous intent!
The witches seemed to have realized what had happened, and they suddenly screamed:
"The witcher! It's the witcher!"
"Get cover!"
"Hide, hide!"
While everyone was using their own protective spells to buy time, they were quickly looking for a place to hide. The wizard Barn summoned a large mud barrier to block the direction of the most violent attack. This gave people a moment of opportunity.
Seanna crouched behind a fallen stone statue, gritting her teeth while preparing a counterattack spell: "Damn it, how did they come so fast!"
Hao Ren said loudly: "Obviously, these demon hunters did not go to the headquarters for support, they came directly to kill them!"
