The situation is not good, and the fact that he has the bloodline of the old gods must not be exposed!

Thoughts flashed through Ophieche's mind.

What should I say to him? What can I say to him? What did Finn report? Why hasn't Finn come yet?

Yes, anyway, let's wait a while.

He said slowly with a painful look on his face, "I'm afraid I won't see more than Mr. Finn reported." ”

"Just tell me what you know, kid. Don't let go of any details. Ramiro rubbed his hands together and leaned forward towards Ofeiche's fat body, his face full of excitement.

That's what Ofeicher was waiting for, and he told him about the orcs he and Charlotte had encountered before they entered the town.

He elaborated on how they had been rescued by the resistance of the skilled butler Luca, the appearance of the orcs, and the strangeness of the night. Next, he said that he was worried about this, and went around the town to buy himself an old second-hand dagger.

Then he practiced his short sword and went back to his room to take a nap. When I woke up, the whole world was shrouded in a terrifying strange light. When he plucked up the courage to go to Charlotte's room to look for her, he found that only the maid, Casey, was left in the room. Charlotte has been taken away, while another maid has been killed by the demon's attack.

"After that, I tried to find Mademoiselle again, only to be besieged by those who were distorted like bats and demons. That's when Finn's apprentice came to my rescue, and I followed Finn's follow. I think the rest of Finn's report must have been more detailed than what I had seen—I was at one point shrouded in horrible hallucinations, not knowing what was real and what was the illusion that the hallucinations had given me. ”

After listening to Ofeicher's summary, Ramiro was thoughtful. The fat advisor quickly asked Ophiecher "How dare you go looking for Charlotte?" You have been besieged by demons, and you should know that you are no match for them. Why do you dare to follow Fein and them?"

Ophiecher was nervous and began to pretend to be annoyed: "If you ask me to tell you some truth, I can tell you that I am not as weak as you think. You must not believe that I have some talent for source energy, and I can fight with those newly distorted demons. ”

"Ha, what a stubborn child who is not afraid of death. Ramiro grinned and shook his head, "You should really be grateful to Finn, otherwise you would have been killed dozens of times by those demons and demons." ”

It seems to have been bluffed by the fearless youth of the ignorant. Ofiicher felt that sooner or later he would start lying without changing his face.

Ramiro immediately asked, "And then? Finn put you down and told you to keep an eye on Charlotte, who was trapped in the ritual, and he went to find the damned ritual organizers, how did this secret event come to an abrupt end? The two apprentices had said that you seemed to see something, and then they ran to save Charlotte in a daze - they may have focused all their attention on demons or twists, did you see something they didn't see?"

The key question came, but there was no sign of Finn or Cornelia, did they not know that I had been taken away by the church.

I didn't think about it clearly, and then I pulled away from the topic. Ofei was slightly convinced, and then asked, "My lord, your questions are all based on the fact that this is a secret incident. But why are you sure what a so-called secret event is? Almost the entire town has been affected, and I am afraid that the spread of the matter has spread so widely that no one in the empire knows about it, how can this be called a secret event?"

Unable to get answers to key questions and being asked a few rhetorical questions, the fat consultant's expression became frozen.

He said, "All you have to do is tell us what you see." ”

"What if I said that I just thought that the demons had moved away from Mademoiselle in the middle of the fight, and I felt that I had an opportunity to take advantage of it?" Orpheicher also became serious, "You may be looking for an answer that doesn't exist—you may think that there is something that does not fit your so-called secret events, but what if the truth is not that at all?"

"Does that prevent you from telling me what you see? Your attitude only makes people think you're hiding something. Ramiro frowned, his eyes crushed into a slit by bags and fat.

"My attitude?" said Orfiich leaning back in his chair, "My attitude is that I want to protect my master Charlotte Goslar as much as possible, and the problem is the attitude of your church. ”

"What did you say?"

"On the day of the incident, we sought refuge in the church because of an inexplicable attack that we could not deal with, but we were refused. Where was the church that was responsible for protecting people from demons and other dark forces at the time of the incident? After the incident, the church did not send anyone to protect us as victims, but now it suddenly ordered me to help you in your investigation.

"May I not think that you are deliberately leading me to describe the sights that I have seen but cannot understand and recognize as dark and evil activities, and as evidence against my master?"

Ramiro suddenly rose from his chair, nimble as he looked like a fat man who looked to weigh three hundred pounds. Ofiicher almost jumped up, but saw the other party pacing back and forth in place.

"May the Lord God Gian give you and give us reason and peace! How can you have such a ridiculous idea? The situation is not optimistic now, and I don't know if the Adventists and the Panthion Society are working together to cause trouble. The church's investigation hasn't progressed much, and you, as a key witness, are here in circles with me. What shit!"

The advisor sat down in his chair again, and the chair creaked overwhelmingly.

He stared at Ofiicher helplessly: "I'll tell you something about the secret rituals and secret events - the Lord God Ji'an, I am willing to swear by my life, I will not deliberately lie about teaching knowledge, or hide some key things - but, after you have listened, you can no longer refuse my questions."

"I don't want to make things extremely embarrassing, and I don't want those Warrior Guards to interrogate you kid like a wreck, unless I have no other choice. Makes that clear, right?"

Ofeichher stiffened his head and said, "I will make my judgment. ”

The advisor had no choice but to start telling him about the secrets.

"You said you had a little bit of a talent for the source qi. Then you at least know something about source energy, the power that comes from otherworldly matter, right?

"You should know at least some of the creation myths: the supreme being, who is the trinity of the destroyer, the reformer, and the creator, after seeing the mortal world turn into hell, destroyed the mortal world, and gave the creation of heaven to the mortal world, so that the mortal beings could redeem themselves.

"That's the transcendent substance. In order for the transcendent matter to play a good role in all realms, the Supreme Being left the mortal world with a holy court to help the world, and the gods who watched over the holy court to prevent it from going astray.

However, the Holy Court usurped and claimed to be a god by virtue of divine power, allowing the true sacredness to be hidden. Since then, these false gods and false gods have absorbed divine power and created a lot of injustice and suffering in the mortal world. They even supported their mortal agents, and built a brutal kingdom on top of them—until it was reversed by our great empire.

"Child, so this supernatural substance can be used by good people to stimulate the power of light, and it can also be used by evil people to enhance the power of darkness. And the most filthy and vile yet incomparably powerful of the dark forces is this secret ritual.

"Secret rituals are strange and inexplicable rituals that transform and consume large amounts of extraordinary substances to bring about secret events that are difficult to explore, whose impact is unknown, and which often ends in disaster.

"The reason why it is called secret is not only because of the changes in the ritual process and materials, but also the influence and the result that cannot be connected at all. It is also because the ritual itself is known by many people, and it is also part of the ritual factor. If the existence of the secret ritual is known to more people, and the place where it is held can be found and witnessed by more people, then the ritual itself will undergo varying degrees of change, failure and reversal. ”

Hearing this, Ofeichher somewhat understood: "Secrecy refers only to the ritual itself, not to the result of its influence?"

Ramiro nodded his fat head: "That's right. Secret rituals, even if they are simply written down and widely disseminated, can have an impact on them, in most cases by greatly diminishing their intensity. This is the conclusion and knowledge that took thousands of years and countless blood and tears to obtain. What kind of ritual should be counted as a secret ritual has its own set of standards, and it is not something that can be identified or denied casually. ”

Ofiicher had a new puzzle: "That's really a contradiction—how can you make a secret ritual that you don't know about after the fact, when it's over?

"Of course, this is for experts like us to go to the ceremony site to identify the source energy residues. The results of the analysis and the supernatural material surplus on site already tell a lot. Ramiro sighed, "If you can experience it yourself, you can tell if a phenomenon is a hidden event just by looking at the degree of reality distortion." But there are simpler ways to tell. ”

Ofiicher had already learned a little from Finn: "You mean... The event is repeated. ”

"That's right. Child, if you think about it, the reason why the secret ritual is classified as a dark force is not only because of its strange and terrifying, cruel and bloody performance, but also because of its unknown nature and changes, it is easy to kill the person who conducts the ceremony, and even... Worse. This is not an unattainable force, but something that is fundamentally contrary to nature and holiness. Ramiro tried to tighten his expression more seriously, "And the rituals that are recorded often correspond to events with a specific purpose, and the distortions that appear are more or less the same." So sometimes, just by virtue of the unique signs of the phenomenon, it can correspond to some hidden events. ”

Ofiicher was silent for a while, then shook his right wrist with his left hand: "So, what Miss has experienced... It is a repetition of a hidden event that has already been recorded. ”

The advisor clasped his palms hard and let out a pop, "You understand quickly." It is that what you have experienced is an unquestionable covert event, and it will certainly go as it does without ending at will—that is almost the only thing we can say for sure about the covert event. ”

It turns out that the covert event refers to this kind of secret... After dragging on for a while, I made up the words more or less by relying on the memory of the original owner, so come if you want to ask.

Ofiecher swallowed softly, waiting for the other party to throw out the crucial question again.

The advisor bent down, as if to be tinkering with his drawer, only to hear his voice coming from behind the wooden table: "What I say is true, and I have confirmed it to you, and I ask you questions to clarify the truth of the matter and prevent the situation from getting worse." Those bad people who didn't succeed don't know what to do about it. It is also for your own good, and if you are not responsible for the death of the Messenger, it is likely that those responsible for it will soon be against you. ”

"If you can protect my master well, I will be willing to cooperate with your investigation. Ofei did not forget to repeat his position.

"Don't worry, we've been keeping you under surveillance... Well, secretly protected. Ramiro got up and pulled out a roll of parchment.

The parchment was handed to Ofi Iccher, along with a quill.

"You want me to write down what I see?" Orfeucher unfolded the parchment on the table.

"As an assistant to a nobleman, I guess you can at least be literate and write. This parchment is a Tier 6 transcendent thing, and the lies written on it will disappear quickly. The advisor said, "Alright, we're done with what we need to say." Don't shy away from what you've been through, write word for word what you and Finn's two apprentices saw while they were near Charlotte. ”
