The scheduled time for the ceremony is coming soon, and the high priest is anxiously waiting for the return of the senior priest. Without the ceremonial dagger, this ceremony would be impossible to start.
The three figures moved slowly towards the top of the tower.
Bediwell took away the red robe of the high priest, put it on, and walked in the front.
Behind him were Albert, who was wearing the costume of one of the bodyguards, and Elaine, who was wearing a blood-red robe. Fortunately, the Twilight Cult's robe was originally a blood-like crimson, and the blood stains on it were not conspicuous after drying.
.
"Huh?" Of course the high priest recognized his subordinates, so he was very confused when he saw that the people coming had changed.
The werewolf didn't give the high priest a chance to be confused. He rushed over and said to the high priest: "Master High Priest, the situation has changed. An assassin has appeared in the cult. The priest who just went to get the ceremonial dagger has been poisoned by the assassin."
, before he died, he asked me to hand over the dagger to you, and I will be fully responsible for protecting you."
"Really?" The high priest was confused, "You are---"
"I am [Bloody Wolf---Bediwell]. I was sent by the Eastern Church for reinforcements." Bediwell lied without hesitation, and made everything as if it were true: "Mr. High Priest
Please rest assured that my subordinates are all reliable, and we will be responsible for the safety here."
"But, the attacker is---"
The werewolf secretly took out the [Seed of the Sacred Tree] from his storage ring, pretending to be knowledgeable and said: "This is a prop left by the assassin. As far as I know, it should be a magic prop from the Druid religion."
."
"As expected!" The high priest showed a look of resentment: "Those damn Druids have been sniffing around recently, and I knew they had evil intentions."
The werewolf snickered inwardly. Taking advantage of the invisible hatred between the two sects, Bedivere had successfully won the trust of the high priest.
The next strategy is very simple. Try to "protect" the safety of the high priest in the middle of the festival to prevent him from being assassinated by Ivan. After the high priest thinks that everything has passed safely, Bediville will be there in this damned place.
The leader of the cult gave him a gentle knife in the back.
In this bet, Bediville has the absolute initiative. No matter how powerful the half-dragon young man is, Bediville will never lose!
At the same time, Ivan was already hiding in a corner outside the tower, taking out a sniper rifle about ten feet long from his storage ring and setting it up.
He was ready. Once the festival started and the high priest showed his face, he could simply shoot the high priest of the Ming Cult in the head. If this didn't kill the guy, Ivan still had something else to do.
The half-dragon young man has eagle eyes and a variety of modern weapons specially designed for permanent assassination. No matter how powerful the werewolf is, Ivan will not lose!
Both the werewolf and the half-dragon were thinking about how to kill their target and at the same time try their best to hold back their opponents so that they could win.
The two of them used all their strategies and unscrupulous means to bring a baptism of blood to this cult festival.
At the same time, Vivian's research institute.
The young blue leopard man Seifer and his younger brother Seglade are intensifying their training in the training facility, making final preparations for the round table trial that will begin the day after tomorrow.
The little black panther Hal was watching his brothers exercise in boredom. The equipment in the training room was too heavy and difficult for little Hal to use. He couldn't even lift the lightest dumbbell and was giving birth.
Stifling.
"Brothers are so good, they can lift such heavy things and run so fast." Little Hal was extremely envious of his brothers' strength.
Seglade stopped from the treadmill: "Hal, if we can do it, you will be able to do it when you grow up. There is nothing to envy."
"But, you and I look completely different, meow. You are so blue, but I am black, meow."
Saifer also stopped punching the sandbag and turned around, wanting to say something to his brother.
"So?" A voice interrupted the conversation between the three leopards: "Your father is also a big panther. Is there a problem with this?"
The three Leopard Man brothers followed the sound and saw King Arthur in casual clothes waiting at the door of the training room.
"Your Majesty!" The two big cats immediately knelt down and saluted. Only Little Hal didn't recognize this big man and stood there stupidly.
"Hal, kneel down quickly, meow!" Seglade grabbed his brother and asked him to kneel down and salute.
"Okay, it doesn't matter." King Arthur had already walked in and touched the little black panther's cat head: "No gift, please get up. Sefir, Seglade, and Vivian mentioned it to me last night,
You encountered some interesting things at sea? Is there anything you want to report to me?"
"It's a long story..." Saifer glanced at Seglade, "I'll give your Majesty a detailed report later."
Seglade couldn't help but wonder: Would King Arthur believe that they encountered such a ridiculous thing as a ghost ship?
Maybe it would just be regarded as lying or insane. Seglade looked at the king with a slight panic.
The King Arthur in front of him is no longer the little boy he used to be. The King is of medium stature, slightly taller than the young Leopard Man brothers. Although he is not very tall and is not wearing any equipment, the King of Knights at this moment still has a certain...
The domineering attitude of an emperor.
Being with such a big shot, Seglade couldn't help but feel pressured.
"That, that ---" Little Hal was not frightened by Wang's domineering attitude at all. Maybe he couldn't feel it at all: "Uncle, have you seen my father? I have never seen what my father looks like."
."
"Yes." King Arthur touched the little panther's round leopard ears again, "Little Hal, do you want to see your father? I will take you there."
"Your Majesty..." Saifer wanted to stop King Arthur. Taking Hal to see Palamedes would be equivalent to letting the child see the cruel truth.
"It doesn't matter, Parami's situation seems to be getting better." King Arthur smiled lightly: "You have to have hope in everything, right? This child came all the way from Turks, let him meet his father."
"I don't think Hal is ready yet, meow..." Seglade also said. As Hal's older brother, he was always overly protective of the youngest brother.
"You are overprotective of him. As long as you are here and Vivian is here, he will be ready. Now is the best time to tell him everything." Arthur picked up the little black panther: "right, little Hal
?With your brothers and mother here, you are not afraid of anything, right?"
"Yeah...yes, meow!" The leopard boy looked at his brothers with big watery eyes, as if pleading with the blue leopard brothers.
"In that case..." Saifei compromised: "Okay, meow. We'll take him to the underground of the research institute right away..."
"Vivian is also helping Merlin to research the new armor system." The King of Knights asked, "Do you want me to notify her to come back?"
"No, no need..." Seglade took the leopard boy from the hands of the King of Knights and carried the little panther behind his back: "If you don't bother Aunt Vivian, let's set off like this."
"Okay! Let's go, meow!" Little Hal thought it was some kind of game and danced on his brother's back, extremely happy.
At the same time, in Edinburgh Underground City, inside the tower where the Twilight Cultists gather.
The high priest and his entourage walked out slowly, and under the bright eyes of the believers, they approached the altar.
"Let the ceremony begin." The high priest raised his sleeves and announced.
---Well, what voice, whoa? The surrounding believers began to murmur ancient runes.
It is an evil language in itself, and every syllable is full of worship of the devil.
Clang, clank, clang. The holy bells in the hands of the high priests were also shaking continuously, making waves of crisp and gloomy low sounds, like the whispers of ghosts.
The believers danced weird dance steps while lighting incense in their hands. The psychedelic smoke rose slowly, flying everywhere as the believers slowly waved their arms, pulling out curved white lines that were rising.
In the process, it becomes more and more dissipated, and finally merges with the atmosphere.
The entire venue was shrouded in smoke and visibility became increasingly worse.
Ivan was hiding on the outer wall of the tower, observing all this through the small vents. Even if the scene was filled with smoke, the half-dragon young man who was proficient in eagle eye skills would not be confused. How could this smoke affect him?
influential?
When he takes off his glasses, his eagle eye technique will be activated, taking in all the surrounding scenes. His opponent--the werewolf Bedivere--no matter what he does, he can't deceive this half-dragon.
people.
This is how it should be.
But Ivan was still concerned and didn't know what tricks Bedivere was playing. He could pull the trigger of the photon sniper rifle right now and make a hole in the head of the high priest. However, Bedivere must have done something.
, will not let the half-dragon young man get it easily.
Therefore, Ivan was not in a hurry to shoot. He planned to wait and see what tricks the werewolf was playing.
---Even in the worst case scenario, where the werewolf rushes directly to assassinate the high priest, Ivan still has a backup move. He can always take action one step faster than the werewolf.
...as it should be.
After a period of ritual singing and cultists' dance, the high priest began to talk about a bunch of Twilight Sect's teachings and persuaded the believers to devote themselves to "annihilation".
While he was talking this nonsense, the ceremony officially entered its climax, and two believers carried a stone slab into the venue.
The objects on the stone slab made the half-dragon gasp.
A human boy who was almost naked, with only a small piece of cloth covering his important parts, and who seemed to have been anesthetized by drugs, was lying quietly on the stone slab.
The high priest held a ceremonial dagger in his hand. The special dagger had deep blood-letting grooves on it.
The stone slab and the boy were carried to the altar in front of the high priest, and the high priest muttered something about what to do to the boy.
Seeing this, Ivan already understood. He should have expected this to happen. But he planned the assassination in a hurry and never thought that such a change would happen!
This Twilight Sect is indeed a damn cult---their ritual is to use living people as sacrifices!
If nothing is done, the dagger in the hand of the high priest will disembowel the boy, and use the child's blood to cleanse the entire altar and please a certain demon in the unknown world!
How could Ivan tolerate this kind of thing that is not allowed by nature?
He took off his glasses and began to use the eagle eye technique.
Oh no, he can't use it. Misstep.
The incense floating in the air is specially made, and every dust particle in the incense is filled with a large number of photons.
Ivan, who relied on photon vision to see his surroundings clearly, was greatly disturbed by the photon-rich smoke particles floating in the air. In his eyes, the entire festival venue became blurry, and there was no trace of it at all.
Can't see clearly with eagle eye!
Bediwell had already told the high priest to let his people put out the incense.
As a cult organization, its high-ranking priests are often targeted by bounty hunters. In order to protect the priests, there are certainly ways to guard against assassins at festivals.
Being set up!
However, Ivan quickly recovered from his surprise.
It's just that I can't use my eagle eye, it's no big deal.
Even without the assistance of Eagle Eye, Ivan's marksmanship is still extremely accurate!
He put on his glasses again, sealed his Eagle Eye Technique, and at the same time adjusted the scope of the sniper rifle a few times, aiming the muzzle at the head of the high priest.
The moment the high priest raised his dagger and stabbed it down -----
Bang!!------The sniper rifle also fired!
The light bullet accurately nailed the high priest's head, blowing half of his hood off. The high priest also lost his balance and fell backwards!
"Assassin!!" Bedivere, pretending to be a high priest, emerged from the crowd and pointed in the direction of the light bomb: "There is an assassin! Catch him!!"
The Twilight Sect's guards immediately rushed out, firing fiercely at Ivan's location, and sending people over to encircle and suppress him!
However, Ivan has achieved his goal. The high priest is dead.
He should be dead... right?!
Braving the gunfire, he stuck his head out and took another look.
The person who was "beaten to death" was not the high priest at all. Bedivere was so cunning that he had already replaced the high priest with a substitute.
Elaine, the white dragon man, got up from the ground, holding his swollen head, which had lost several pieces of dragon scales, with a look of pain on his face. But other than that, he was not seriously injured!
This guy took a sniper shot from the front, but he was not hit in the head. His defense is really terrifying!
Bedivere also saw Ivan peeking out from a distance, and the werewolf showed a proud look. The high priest had been hidden by him, and even if Ivan set out to look for it now, it would be too late!
Ivan did not give up, he cast a spell on himself.
He covers his whole body with a coat of atmosphere, and while controlling the air, he can fly and move at high speeds.
His eagle eyes glowed golden in the darkness. He quickly scanned the entire dungeon with his own eyes and found where the high priest might be hiding!
The half-dragon young man jumped out of the tower and pressed a certain button while floating in the air.
A dangerous white light emerged from under the altar!
