Chapter 81: Soul Invasion
Blood flowed in the grooves of the ground.
All of them wore cloaks and masks and gloves, and wrapped themselves tightly for fear of being recognized by others.
Soon the blood filled the entire groove painted with the pattern of the demon god, and he didn't want to be a magic circle at all, but it looked like an altar used in some mysterious ritual.
"Doesn't it have anything to do with the Owl Organization?"
Harvey shook his head at the thought of this, he still had a strong feeling in his heart. I feel that this place must be inseparable from the Owl organization.
Just as Harvey was thinking, Marid next to him whispered to the crowd below, "Your Excellency Harvey, what is that pattern?"
Marid Eppeni doesn't know the Demon God Pattern! Harvey had to doubt his identity at the moment, after all, the Demon God Pattern was only accessible to ordinary people, and as a royal knight of the Adalant Empire, he shouldn't be unrecognizable.
"That's the Demon God. ”
"Demon God, where do I seem to be listening, where am I?"
Marid began to think back to where he had heard.
"There are no elemental fluctuations. ”
Harvey said to Marid.
"Ah, what?"
"There are no elemental fluctuations. ”
"What does that mean?"
"It means that they are now performing a ritual, and there are no magicians in existence. ”
"Isn't there a magician? Look at my mistakes...... Huh... Where are you going?"
Marid saw that Harvey beside him suddenly stepped back and was about to leave, and hurriedly asked.
"Your Excellency, you know what I'm looking for, and now there's no point in me staying here, so I might as well go back and enjoy the wine in the banquet hall. ”
"Alright then, I'll go back with you. ”
"Together, isn't what you're looking for here?"
"That's enough for now. ”
"Enough, it seems that the royal family of the Adalant Empire has long been determined to clean up the owner of this castle. ”
At first, Harvey thought that Marid had been sent because the royal family was disgusted by Piedes Achino's corruption. Looking at it now, maybe this city lord is just a rooster raised by the royal family of Ardalant that lays golden eggs.
Back in the banquet hall, Harvey and Marid drank a few glasses of wine, chatted a few words, and then left the City Lord's Mansion and hurried back to the Iron Iron Grocery Store.
......
Sunset Town
Delis was sitting outside the room watching the moonlight in a daze, the door behind her was not closed, and the moonlight shone diagonally down the doorway, except for a small part of the floor that hit the letter spread out on the corner of the table.
"It's late at night, it's time for you to rest. ”
Avril said as she emerged from the darkness and stood behind Delis.
"I don't know if he can accept it when he knows the truth. ”
Delis didn't move.
"He should have been suspicious for a long time. ”
Avril said.
"yes, how could he not have thought of it when he was so smart, but he didn't want to believe his own speculation. ”
"Then why did he still go, so he wouldn't have to face it?"
He wanted to know everything before he went to the Two Realms Mountain, but he had a glimmer of hope in his heart that he shouldn't have. ”
"We'll have to go back tomorrow, so let's go to bed early. ”
Avril finished speaking, and disappeared into the darkness again.
"Good. ”
......
Back at the Iron Iron Grocery Store, Harvey was back in the field again.
"Mercado, it is said that some time ago the Owl organization caught a traitor?"
Harvey didn't want to waste any more time on the Owl organization, and he planned to find Danielle's whereabouts before considering his next move.
"The villain has a humble position, and I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I heard that the first deacon caught it with his own hands. ”
"And where is he?"
"Do you mean First Deacon, he rarely appears in the Order, and every time he suddenly appears to announce some of that Lord's orders and then disappears. Even the other three deacons were unable to grasp the whereabouts of the First Deacon. ”
"The traitor who was caught was also taken away by the first deacon?"
"The villain doesn't know, but under normal circumstances, traitors are locked up in the organization's dungeons. ”
"Where is the location of the Owl Organization?"
"It's just below the Great Round Mirror Lake outside the city. ”
"It's such a nice place, no wonder I haven't found it. Very well, now that I know the location, I will go and meet the deacons you speak of tomorrow. Hahahaha...!"
With that, Harvey began to laugh arrogantly.
And this laughter made Mercado feel creepy, of course, this was caused by Harvey's slight pressure with mental power. After all, in front of Mercado, his incomparably powerful identity as a necromancer still has to be pretended.
Early in the morning, Harvey woke up from his sleep and wandered through the streets of Deland, thinking about how to sneak into the Great Mirror Lake today to find Danielle's location.
With Harvey's current strength, he could have coaxed those deacons through his powerful spiritual power and mimicry magic. But now that he knows that the other party's mobile phone has a magic guide, in this way, it is completely impossible for him to bluff the other party, the magic master-level necromancer plus the magic guide in their hands. Now, each of them has the strength to take on the Grand Magus alone. This is almost crushing for Harvey, who is still at the level of a magister.
Just as Harvey was at a loss for thought, he suddenly felt the stone road under his feet vibrate slightly, and a rapid sound of horses' hooves came.
A squad of cavalry in golden knight's armor was hurrying in Harvey's direction.
Harvey walked to the side of the road and gave way to the cavalry squad, and as the cavalry squad passed quickly, Harvey saw a familiar face.
"I didn't expect to be in such a hurry. ”
Harvey said a word, and quietly followed behind the cavalry squad. The sacrificial event in the City Lord's Mansion last night, he always felt that it would not be so simple.
Now, Marid Eponi has given him a chance, no matter what happens to both sides at that time. Whether Pades Achino fights or flees, he doesn't have time to care about the Demon God Altar underground. Harvey only needs to be faster, and he will be able to investigate the matter of the Demon God Altar before all the dust settles.
Soon Marid broke into the City Lord's Mansion with his cavalry, and before entering the City Lord's Mansion, he arranged for all the surrounding exits to be guarded, completely intending to capture Pades alive.
Just as Marid led people to break in from the front of the castle, Harvey, who had been observing the situation with mental power, also quickly sneaked into the entrance of the basement when everyone's attention was not there.
There was already a fight outside, and it was clear that there was nothing Harvey feared. If Paides surrenders directly, then he will go underground and will most likely be discovered by Marid. He had seen last night that Marid, like himself, was full of curiosity about this Demon God Altar.
Having been here once last night, and with the magician's super memory, Harvey quickly came to the place where he saw the altar yesterday.
Carefully probing the surroundings with mental power, Harvey found no trace of anyone else. So, he hurried to the side of the altar.
"Obsidian!" Because it was so dark last night, Harvey couldn't see clearly that the altar on it was all carved out of obsidian.
It's not a matter of luxury, obsidian is so hard that it usually takes a long time to carve a mark even with a diamond carving knife.
Some of the fifty-centimeter-deep grooves on the ground are obviously not naturally formed, which means that the altar was not done by hand.
After looking at the obsidian altar, Harvey stood up, and at that moment, he suddenly felt a sense of discomfort, a feeling of breaking some kind of balance.
"Psychic invasion!"
Harvey immediately withdrew from the confines of the altar, and he clearly felt that a spiritual force that could only be described as heavy was invading his brain again.
"There's something weird about this altar. ”
Harvey is a magician, and his mental power is extremely strong, so he only discovered the power of this soul invasion at this moment. And the people who came to participate in the sacrifice yesterday are extremely fragile in their spiritual power, if they come to this altar many times. At this moment, those people are probably no longer human.
Thinking of this, Harvey finally understood. The lord of the city, Pades, uses the altar to achieve the purpose of controlling others.
