Chapter 171: The Seal of the Demon Inscription
After knowing my identity, the attitude of the mages towards me suddenly became respectful, especially Kona, who seemed to shine with light in her eyes when she looked at me. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 It seems that the attitude towards the gods is similar to that of the humans on land, close to blind worship, and it is not difficult to understand why Karen can do whatever they want here as gods for so long.
Then we talked to Lord Sharon about the details, and then hurried back to the palace. After all, we can't leave Cullen's sight for too long, and it is easy to arouse his suspicions.
After returning to the palace, as we expected, the news came that the rings were all fake, and the fallen god finally took out the real ring. Cullen was visibly a little thrilled by the news. He also called someone to invite us over and told us when he planned to hold the festival.
Soon, that day would come.
The weather was nice on this day, although there was no bad weather in Undersea City. But the light is still a little better than usual today.
The square in the center of Duka town was laid out early in the morning with all the necessary items for the festival, and it was built into a venue large enough to accommodate 100,000 people. However, there are levels set up at the entrance of this field, and there are demon reviews in each level, and only those who pass the review can enter the venue.
Rollo and I stayed in the yard waiting for people outside to come in, and to be honest, it was a bit boring. Rollo couldn't help but yawn, looked at the crowd and complained, "When will it start?" I've been waiting for almost an hour, and I'm getting a little impatient. ”
I glanced at him, then took a piece of paper that was inconspicuous and silently drifted towards us in my hand, spread it out to look at what was written on it, and whispered to him, "Lord Sharon has entered the venue. At the entrance, she said, the demons activated the tattoos on the people's bodies. At the same time, let everyone recite the so-called blessing greeting. The message of the congratulatory is 'I wish my soul to be an oath, and I ask for the cleansing of my filth and filth for true salvation...... and I think this is probably the content of the vow that these demons made when they deceived people's souls. ”
Luo Luo looked up at the entire venue and said with a sarcastic smile: "I said how can this venue be decorated so strangely?" I was wondering what those weird sprinklers were used for in the audience, but they were just for spraying water. It's a bit interesting to think deeply about the content of the greeting, but to put it bluntly, the first thing that comes to mind when people think of washing is water, right? It is estimated that as soon as people gather here, he will spray water into the crowd, and this contract will be triggered instantly, and he will be able to obtain a large number of souls at once, and the content of those words is not easy to be suspected, this is really a good move! ”
I also looked up at the location of the sprinklers and saw that due to the size of the venue, the sprinklers were also far apart. To put it mildly, if they spray water at the same time, I really don't have the ability to guarantee that the water won't spray people. When I think about it, things suddenly get a little serious. I took a closer look at the layout of the pipes here, and found that the water sources connected to these sprinklers also come from all directions, and there are many paths, so it is not possible to cut off the water pipeline. So what to do?
I couldn't help but feel a little anxious, this feeling hadn't been felt in a long time. On the contrary, Rollo was still calm, and did not seem to worry about this problem at all, which made me feel even more uneasy, as if he was hiding something from me.
Perhaps sensing my uneasiness, he looked at me and said, "Don't think about it, see what else she has to say?" ”
Then I turned my attention to the piece of paper, and sure enough, there were other contents on it.
On it, Lord Sharon also made a special note about a detail that he found when he entered this place, that is, although everyone who came here had to recite the "greetings", Lord Sharon still noticed that there were a small number of people who said things that were different from the deed seals. She also engraved the appearance of the deed seals on this piece of paper.
I looked at the black hexagonal seals on it, and to be honest, I really didn't see anything famous. Although you can see that they look different, I don't know exactly what they mean.
I handed the note to Rollo, who was reluctant to read it at first, but when he saw the pattern on it, he suddenly pulled the note from my hand with a very rapid movement, and looked at it carefully, and then his expression became a little gloomy. I noticed something strange and asked, "What's wrong?" What do you see? ”
As soon as Rollo raised his hand, the note instantly turned into nothingness and disappeared into thin air. He glanced at me, and his expression became a little serious: "Those deeds have inscriptions on them, mainly containing a series of contents such as the information of the two parties to the contract, the exchange conditions of the contract content, etc. But guess what else I saw in it? ”
"What?"
"I saw O'Mira's name appear in that inscription."
"Omila? That Archdemon Omila? Hasn't he been dead for years? What does it have to do with this? "I was a little surprised, I didn't understand why, wasn't he dead?
Rollo looked at me: "It's not just strange. Rosa, you know what? In order to improve the efficiency of the Sea Clan's entry here, the demons here have made a contract with the people at the same time, and you can also see that there are different demons at each entrance. Therefore, it is normal for the inscriptions on these seals to contain information about different demons. However, there are no names in this information, and both demons and contractors have other ways to mark them, so it's a bit strange that Omera's name appears here, right? What's even more bizarre is that Omera's name does not appear in the demon column, but in the contractor's position. As far as I know, the contractor must be an individual with a soul, even if the undead are a species with a soul and no body, so how did Omila appear in the contractor's column? I don't think I've ever figured out what the message is. The only thing that is clear is that Cullen must be hiding something from us, but what is it? I have a hunch that this time, at a deeper level, it may involve changes within the demons. ”
It seems that things are getting more and more complicated, and I can't help but feel a bit of a headache. It's better not to get things out of order. At this time, Brie, as the hero of the search for the Ring of the Damned, also came to the venue with the other demons. And his brother, the old demon, as an indispensable "object" for this blessing ceremony, was transported to the center of the stage with his cell. I saw that the other demons around me were busy with some preparations and didn't have time to deal with him, so I leaned into the side of his cell while others were not looking. The old demon's closed eyes opened calmly.
He hurriedly leaned down and lay on the ground and asked in a low voice, "How are you preparing?" ”
I whispered, "Things have taken an unexpected turn...... I have a question for you about demons. Can you demons make a pact with each other? ”
"How is this possible, we have no benefit in signing a contract with a demon...... Why do you suddenly ask such a question? The old demon asked.
I knew that the old demon had a special affection for his Lord Omila, and if he rashly told him about the current situation, it might turn out to be bad, so he said, "It's nothing, but I saw a few special ones in the deeds they activated today, and I wanted to ask you about the situation." ”
The old demon thought carefully and said hesitantly: "Actually, there is one thing that I have always cared about, but I am afraid that you will not want to continue if you know about it, so I have not said it. It's about Omira-sama. In fact, after that incident thirty years ago, I accidentally discovered that Cullen had taken Master Omira's body with her when she left...... Or maybe it's a part of his body! He was hiding somewhere in this underwater city, which is why I never wanted to leave here. I want to find Mistress Omera. But he never understood the use of Karen keeping Omira-sama's body all along. But when you suddenly reminded me today, I remembered what happened the other day, and I felt as if I understood something. As he spoke, he turned his head and pointed to a demon not far away, and said, "Have you seen that demon?" They did it to me the other day when they interrogated me, and I accidentally saw the deed mark on him when I did it. Because Cullen doesn't like his subordinates to sign too many contracts with the Sea Clan, I have a deep impression of him. It's the kind of contract you are talking about. There's a demon's name on it, and by chance the demon I know, it's the guy who came here with me with Master Omila, but betrayed me to join Karen's camp along the way. It's just that I haven't seen him since one day more than a decade ago. ”
And such a thing? A bad guess quickly appeared in my mind, and I quickly asked the old demon, "Then do you think this guy has similar physical characteristics to the demon you know?" ”
"Similar?" The old demon was slightly stunned, then reacted, glanced back at the guy again, and then turned his head and said with certainty: "It's really like this when you say that." The traitor's legs were very special, thicker than the average mid-level demon, and the bones in his ankles were very large and a little deformed. This guy does look a lot like the traitor, but what does that mean? ”
And sure enough, it was! I think I already understand Karen's intentions in collecting O'Mira's corpse! Thinking of this, I hurriedly returned to Luo Luo's side, Luo Luo saw my hurried appearance, and felt a little inexplicable: "What's wrong with you, what is so surprising?" ”
"I think I already know the origin of these alien demons." I told him what I had found, and Rollo was a little unimpressed at first, but when I talked about Omela's body, his expression became visibly solemn, and even a little incredible.
"You're saying that Omira's corpse is in Cullen's hands, and what does he want to do with it? But Rosa, you must know that the demon's body will be carbonized and disappear after death, how can such a thing happen? ”
"Not a corpse, according to the old demon's words, it should be a part of a limb to be exact, Cullen they only found Omila's right arm. And if they really want to save the demon's limbs from carbonization, it shouldn't be too difficult, right? These mutated demons all have the characteristics of more than one demon, and as I expected, they strengthen themselves by fusing the strengths of other demons, and those seals with the demon's name should be evidence that they devour and fuse other individuals. If there is no accident, most of the demons here should have that kind of seal on their bodies. And the power that can drive them to merge should be hidden in the Cursed Ring. Most of the people who appeared in the arena at this time used it to break the seal and release the power in the ring, and a small part was a tribute for Cullen to obtain the power of Omira's body. It seems that Karen is really busy this time, and there are a lot of things she wants to do in a festival! ”
