Everything was calm in the next two days, so calm that it was hard to believe that there were several powerful demon hunters lurking in this small town. Hao Ren and Vivian were very concerned about the movements of those demon hunters, and Lily was a little worried.
What if those demon hunters find the entrance to the Ancatero Secret Realm in advance? The clues of the Shadow of Chaos and the sealed relics may be destroyed by them, and this is what Hao Ren is worried about. However, two days have passed, and the data terminal has
Monitoring of the energy fields near the town indicated that nothing happened: the demon hunters seemed to have not been able to find a way to enter the secret realm.
Hao Ren didn't know how the demon hunters were going to open the entrance to the secret realm without a guide, but thinking that they had arrived here a few days ago but had done nothing, it seemed that they had not been able to break the strange blockade of the Golden Manor, so
It seems that there is no need to worry about them getting there first.
In the past two days, Hao Ren also asked the data terminal to use various technical means to find the entrance to the secret realm of Ancatero, including looking for clues from the sun as the spirit world detective Pierre said, but in the end these tests found nothing.
.Finding the secret realm out of thin air without knowing anything about the capabilities of the Ancatero family is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Although the data terminal is powerful, it is powerless when it does not even know what it is that it is looking for.
of.
While Hao Ren was doing these useless tasks, Vivian and Yzaks were not idle. They did a little inspection in the town, and sure enough, they found clues about the demon hunter's activities. Although these clues were very subtle, they were not enough for a super
It is not difficult to find ancient aliens and an alien demon king who is so powerful that he has no friends. Vivian also believes that the demon hunter also knows about her arrival, and she smells some very subtle magic in the air.
Power, that is, snooping and questioning information from some hidden corners. These magical powers come from the demon hunters, but they do not cause conflicts.
Just like what she said before: Hasselblad's generation of demon hunters know how to measure. After learning about the arrival of Countess Red Moon, they chose the safest way of "expression" and maintained a just right distance.
Observe and "question" Vivian, Hao Ren and their entourage. This distance will not anger the countess, but at the same time it is enough to convey a message of warning and caution.
In response, Vivian also left her own runes during the event. The content of the runes was "Don't bother me - for now."
This is a subtle and peculiar confrontation, in which both parties are clearly aware of the other's existence, but maintain a "peaceful relationship" at just the right distance. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the younger generation of demon hunters and aliens to understand and learn this complexity.
Only the older generation like Vivian and Hasselblad have this kind of tacit understanding.
Ordinary people may not be able to understand how two camps that are mortal enemies can get along like this, but if they think that this war can last for ten thousand years, then it is not surprising how things will turn out.
In this way, the time finally came to meet up with Wayne Walter. Hao Ren and the others were waiting for the vampire clan leader at the meeting point agreed outside the town. Lily seemed a little impatient. After learning about the demon hunter's movements, she
He has always been a little impatient: "Speaking of which, why did Wayne wait for two days? He already knew that the demon hunter was here and he was still wasting his time, just in case someone else got there first."
"He said he was going back to prepare the items needed to open the secret realm of Ancatero," Vivian rolled her eyes. Wayne had told everyone these things before coming here, but at that time Lily was busy chewing meat and bones.
He didn't hear it at all, "The Ancatero Secret Realm requires special items to open after it is sealed. Originally, his family always had such items. But the few investigators sent here before consumed all the items, so he had to temporarily
Prepare."
"Oh," Lily agreed, continuing to look at the empty field boredly, "Then why doesn't he come out? I looked at the watch and he was already late for a long time!"
As soon as Lily finished speaking, a calm and graceful male voice came from not far away: "Although I have prepared everything as quickly as possible, it seems that I have kept you waiting for a long time."
Hao Ren looked around and saw the pale Wayne Walter walking towards him. The vampire patriarch wore a black windbreaker from head to toe. He also wore a broad hat like the one in the movie.
Hao Ren was wearing a bowler hat, but the person following him surprised Hao Ren: it was not the guide he expected, but Hesperus.
Vivian waited for Wayne to approach before saying hello calmly: "It's okay, you came on time."
Lily immediately shouted: "Bat, don't look at your watch. He is obviously late for several times..."
Vivian glanced at Lily expressionlessly: "Next time you go on a long trip, remember to check the time zone. Your phone is still in Beijing time."
Lily: "..."
Hao Ren said hello to Hesperius and asked Wayne curiously: "Didn't you say you were coming with a guide? Why are you two here?"
"I am the guide," Wayne's pale face showed no expression. "This is the result of my careful consideration. Those shadows of chaos can be left to the family's guards to deal with. But the opportunity to act together with the Countess of the Red Moon is not
It's so easy to meet. I have lived a peaceful life for many years, and occasionally I want to take risks."
Hao Ren looked up and down at the gentleman-looking vampire patriarch: "Are you telling the truth?"
He clearly remembered how the vampire patriarch argued with other old monsters when he was in the Athens Sanctuary. After knowing that the demon hunters gathered in this place, he, like others, was unwilling to come to this place to take risks, so
At this time, he said that he suddenly wanted to experience youth, but no one could believe his sincerity.
Sure enough, Wayne showed a warm smile: "It's just a scene."
Vivian frowned: "Do you know that the Ancatero family hides artifacts?"
"Sun Roulette," faced Vivian's question, Wayne did not hide anything, "I only learned about this thing not long ago. It seems to be the key to sealing the Shadow of Chaos. I really want to see what it is."
what."
"You know that is the key to sealing the Shadow of Chaos, but you still dare to take advantage of it?" Vivian shook her head in disappointment, "Didn't your father educate you well?"
"No, he has a good education, so I won't be blinded by greed," Wayne smiled very freely, or at least looked very relaxed, "otherwise I wouldn't be so honest with you about this. I
I just want to see something like that. It is a great power left over from the mythical age, and is evidence of the glory of our ancestors. If you can re-seal the Shadow of Chaos this time, then maybe the Sun Roulette will disappear from the world again.
It’s in my sight, I want to see with my own eyes what the ancient artifact is before that happens.”
Vivian nodded in an insignificant way: "Okay, let's consider you enlightened. But as far as I know, the sun roulette may have triggered a melee between several god families in ancient times. Its attraction
Maybe it's bigger than you think. If you can't resist the temptation then... I'll have to teach you a lesson for your father."
After Wayne made his promise with a serious face, Vivian looked at her old friend: "Then Hesperius, you are..."
"As a representative and witness of the Athens Sanctuary," Hesperus said with great energy, "you shouldn't think that re-sealing the Shadow of Chaos is a trivial matter, right? If you fail, someone must go back and inform everyone.
She wanted to take refuge, so I was sent here. Actually, it was Hesiana who originally wanted to come, but I knew your opinion, so I knocked that little girl out and tied her up in advance."
Vivian looked happy when she heard this: "It is indeed a long-term friendship!"
"Put aside your friendship issues for now," Hao Ren interrupted, "Hesperius, you may be able to meet old friends here."
"Old friend?" Hesperus looked strange.
"Hasselblad," Hao Ren spread his hands, "the one who made the hole in your head."
Hesperius was stunned, and she subconsciously touched her forehead: the wound that had troubled her for thousands of years had been repaired by Hao Ren with an industrial machine tool, but the pain caused by that wound and the pain of thousands of years had been repaired by Hao Ren.
The family feud from years ago still weighed heavily on this "Twilight Goddess". Her eyes changed rapidly several times, and finally Vivian held her hand: "Are you still thinking about revenge?"
"Huh..." Hesperius breathed, "I told you, it's all over. I'm just a little surprised to hear this name suddenly. So there are indeed demon hunter activities here?"
Vivian nodded solemnly and said: "The demon hunter is also in trouble. This incident may be very complicated. Wayne, take your 'door-opening props' and set off to the entrance of the secret realm now. Let's talk as we go.
