Chapter 149: The Murder of Internal Organs
Cassia, who has nearly seventy percent of the world's authority, is the real controller of Atlanta, and many operations no longer require spirit points as before, but he can do it casually.
At the edge of the continent, the infinitely multiplying substance was churning, and the description of this substance in the database was almost blank, and he vaguely felt that it should be related to the cyan light cluster.
Unlike the last silent observation, this time Cassia slowly stretched out his hand, as if the sound of tearing paper, a fist-sized strange substance was wrapped in a cyan light film and floated towards Cassia Ming's palm.
It looks like normal soil, but it's still churning, like a wriggling ball of soil.
Cassia looked at it carefully for a while, and after finding no results, he flew out with it.
It was still a crystal wall film that seemed hard but was actually soft, and Cassia's figure passed through it like a drop of water.
Beyond the world of Atlanta is an endless void, and Cassia has carefully explored the cyan light cluster, but here except for Atlanta, only darkness and nothingness remain.
Once out of Atlanta, he no longer has the authority of a god, but his own strength is no longer the rookie he used to be, not to mention that the cyan light cluster is his golden finger.
Cassia looked around, picked a random direction, and began to sprint with all his might, only to stop when he was almost out of sight of Atlanta.
He pushed out the strange substance wrapped in the light film in his hand, and then checked his nearly a million spirit points.
"Stud!"
In the perception, the river of millions of spirit points disappeared like a bursting embankment, and was thrown into the strange substance by the cyan light cluster.
The wriggling ball of earth paused, then began to grow wildly outward, extending into a piece of land.
Cassia narrowed his eyes, the land was expanding at a rapid rate, but it would take a little time to form a world.
The Atlanta world needs him to rely on faith to seize power, so what difference will this world that he created with his own hands and is born with the true God?
Cassia was a little expectant at this time, now he is not the hairy young man, experience and vision determine the mentality.
At this moment, Cassia, who was deep in thought, suddenly raised his eyebrows, looked back in the direction of the Atlantic world, and the corners of his mouth curled.
There weren't many things that would interest him right now, but today there were two at once.
"Interesting ......"
......
......
Evos City, the capital of the United Kingdom, is home to the headquarters of the Church of the God of Wisdom.
Like the sea city of Idores, it has its own strong and unique style, but one is the freedom and boldness of the sea, and the other is the stability and order of the plain.
Some overcast skies herald a light rain to come, and the tightly packed bluestone pavements outline special patterns.
Crowds of people and horse-drawn carriages drove along the wide road, lined with wooden houses.
Plumes of white smoke from the lower chimneys and freshly baked pastries in paper bags are happily ending the day's work.
Taller glass windows peeked out of the women, looked at the sky, and used the wooden pole to retrieve the clothes that were about to dry.
The ditches beside the road are wide and hidden, and the managers of the Consulate are lighting the glass street lamps in advance to prevent the light rain from affecting the lighting at night.
Men who have just finished work have a habit of buying an evening newspaper, leaning against a lampstand and scribbling it, and then sharing anecdotes with their wives at home.
Everything was so comfortable.
This is all thanks to the Church of the God of Wisdom, who improved the process of paper and learned how to print from the dwarves.
At first, it was just for the church to record those complicated words to make it easier, but I don't know who came up with the idea of printing the words on paper and then selling them.
Newspapers appeared, and at the same time, the knowledge of the dwarves in astronomy inspired the church, and they revised the calendar to 'accurately' divide the time of day.
They also opened public schools, and under the implementation of the kingdom's policy, they carried out nine years of compulsory education, and in doing so, they influenced the elves to start experimenting with ninety years of compulsory education.
Not only these, but there are many other novelties that come out of here every day and then affect the entire continent.
The City of Wisdom, this is the name given to Evos by the entire North Continent, and even the Orcs of the Southern Continent have heard of it.
The people who live here are almost all believers in the God of Wisdom, and they are grateful for everything that wisdom brings.
The sun was about to set, and the whole city of Evos was finally enveloped in a drizzle.
People on the streets rushed home to enjoy the candlelight and warm fireplaces.
And outside an alley in the eastern district of Evos, at this time, a circle of guards of the Consulate Hall gathered, guarding this place despite the rain.
As the sound of hooves approached, a carriage stopped in the hazy rain, and an archbishop of the Church of the God of Wisdom stepped down, waved down the umbrella that accompanied the sacrifice, and braved the rain into the alley.
The Church of the God of Wisdom does not have the position of Pope, only twelve co-archbishops are in charge of everything, and such a big man who usually doesn't meet at all comes here in person, and the guards guess that the identity of the deceased inside is also not simple.
The alley was empty, not even a trace of garbage could be seen, but in the darkness lay a figure.
Blood flowed down the rain and out of the alley, indicating that the man must have just died.
The archbishop, dressed in dark blue robes, walked up and crouched down to see the face of the deceased, hideous and painful.
The attendant priest followed, took a look, and said, "That's right, it's Priest Billy, and this civilian dress was the one he wore when he left the church the day before yesterday." ”
The archbishop reached out and touched Billy's neck, then slid down to his abdomen, where there was a horrible wound, dripping with blood.
The archbishop hesitated for a moment, then reached in, groping carefully.
Soon the archbishop got up, and the rain in the air was attracted and washed the blood from his hands.
"The fourth, this is the fourth church member to be gutted. ”
"Archbishop......
"Bring it back to church first. ”
"Yes!"
......
......
In the morgue behind the church, Winston, Dinah, and the old man who had just brought back the body of Billy Priest, a total of three archbishops, gathered around the table, their faces solemn.
"Winston, can you see anything?"
Winston shook his head, as if there was some kind of speculation in his eyes.
At this time, Dinah frowned and spoke: "There is no trace of magic, there is no trace of divine magic, Priest Billy's strength is good, it is a bit troublesome to kill him without the slightest movement and take away the internal organs, and still leave no trace." ”
"Except for the people of the church, there is no pattern to the other party's actions, and there is no way to predict who the next target will be. The archbishop shook his head.
"Winston, do you see something?"
Winston took a breath: "Something is wrong, you can see his ribcage and abdomen, all the internal organs are connected to the joints, there are no traces of sharp cuts......"
"You mean ......"
Winston nodded: "Not only that, but the skin wounds are uneven, and there are signs of tearing. ”
"It's not caused by a sharp weapon, it's a forced tear open, and then the internal organs are directly dragged away......" Winston said word by word in a calm voice.
Dinah and the other archbishop looked at each other, and a chill rose in their hearts.
"Orcs?"
"It's unlikely, there aren't many orcs in Evos City, and although they died in the alley, it's a busy city after all, and there's no reason why they won't be discovered. ”
"But their suspicion cannot be completely ruled out, and I suggest that the orcs living in the city be investigated immediately, as well as the cultists of the evil gods hidden among the humans. ”
"Agreed. ”
"Agreed. ”
Finally, the archbishop braved the rain to leave the morgue, while Winston and Dinah stood in the doorway, silent.
The rain seemed to be heavier, and Dinah swept the drops off Winston's shoulders and spoke:
"Why didn't you tell that thing, Winston? You must have thought of it, but why didn't you say it?"
Winston raised his eyes, "Auxiliary magic in the Wisdom Archive?"
Dinah bowed, "The four members of the Church, including Priest Billy, who were poisoned, were all people who had studied auxiliary arts. ”
Winston took a breath, remembering about the Auxiliary Magic.
Auxiliary Divine Magic is a very special existence in the Wisdom Archive, it is a half-finished divine magic...... Or rather, forbidden arts.
The Church of the God of Wisdom claims to explore all the mysteries of the world, and even magic is not shy about researching, so it is naturally very interested in the human soul.
This is why the auxiliary magic was born, it is not as evil as black magic, but relies on the strangeness of its own soul to achieve the purpose of accelerating the increase of strength.
But in an experiment a few years ago, the experimental group of dozens of people was killed and wounded, and only seven survived.
The church thought that this was the realm of contact with the gods, so it issued a gag order, and only half of the auxiliary divine arts were completed, and in the secret text, it became a forbidden existence, forbidden to see, and forbidden to hear.
"Of course I know, four of the seven survivors died, but only these survivors ......know about the auxiliary magic except for the twelve of us," Winston nodded.
Dinah's eyes froze: "There is an inner ghost?"
