The Snake Bay Tavern, a very historic and legendary tavern, is said to be owned by a legendary captain of a sea hunter who once went deep into the depths of the Twin Seas and returned with a full load.

It is said that in his heyday, the captain owned a large fleet of twelve large hunting vessels, and his name even reached the ears of the king at that time.

Unfortunately, due to a completely unknown accident, the captain's fleet sank in the depths of the Twin Seas, and even he lost two of his legs, half of his face, and one of his right hands.

But in any case, he miraculously came back alive, relying on a small sampan, and drifted at sea for I don't know how many days.

Later, he used the money he had saved over the years to continue to open this tavern on First Avenue in the port area, and named it "Snake Bay Tavern".

After that, the old captain disappeared.

No one knows where he went, not even dead or alive.

The Snake Bay Tavern's income has always been lost when it should be, and for decades, no one has ever stopped and no one has ever discovered how these coins disappeared into the locked cash lockers.

All of the above is a version of the story Xue Hua heard from "Chronicles of King's Port" and the bartender and old drinkers in the Snake Bay Tavern.

However, it turns out that it all comes together as a patchwork story about the origin of the Snake Bay Tavern.

All, part, all, is, ed, out, come, of!

According to Golovin's confession, the Snake Bay Tavern is simply a piece of the Snake Bay Tavern that his master planted here decades ago!

The deceitful King of Lies has deliberately disseminated several different versions of the tavern's origins, and has spliced together these versions of the story with the story of an "old captain" who has been missing for an unknown amount of time.

After some "artistic processing" and finding "gunmen" to spread the news around, the fake becomes the real and the bad becomes the good.

The origin of the Snake Bay Tavern has been solved in this way, and there are a lot of "legendary" and "poetic" special names.

These names attract passing travelers and make Snake Bay Tavern very popular.

And because the Snake Bay Tavern is usually handed over to the local bartender to take care of on his behalf, and the bartender who manages the Snake Bay Tavern has no idea about the true origin and purpose of the tavern.

The tavern managed by the locals added to the attractiveness and trustworthiness of the Snake Bay Tavern to the locals - even Ekri and his Black Harbor Society did not suspect that they had gone to the head of the Snake Bay Tavern, and actually set up an "ambush" for Xue Hua here last night.

To tell the truth, if it weren't for the fact that Mr. Golovin in front of him was one of the several "bosses" of the Snake Bay Tavern, Xue Hua would not have suspected the head of the Snake Bay Tavern at all!

It's really dark under the lights!

He'd been there so many times that he hadn't noticed that it was actually a secret stronghold of the True God Cult?

According to Golovin, the "ineffective" hotel rooms on the second floor of the Snake Bay Hotel were actually deliberately used by them, and most of them were intended for future True God outskirts.

These hotel rooms have special spells that can affect people's subconscious, and ordinary people will never like these rooms.

And because the interference emitted by this special spell is not only very weak, but also useless to professionals and mercenaries, even if the professional stays in the room, he will not notice anything abnormal.

In addition, the biggest role of the Snake Bay Tavern is to serve as a sub-altar for the Evil Blood Sacrifice.

According to Golovin, there is also a compartment underneath the tavern's underground storage room, which they used to secretly build the sub-altar.

At night, when the tavern closed, the cultists would transport the corpses through another special channel into the tavern's underground cells.

And this secret special channel is actually the "sewer entrance" where the old Cherky spent the night next to it (the old Cherky almost fainted when he heard this).

There weren't any sewer entrances at all, and the reason why there were so many rats in there was simply because these guys had gathered in the tunnels to eat the human scraps that had been missed during transportation.

The same goes for that stench.

And the reason why old Cherky returned to the city and couldn't find the place where he stayed before was because when the cultists completed the preparations for the sub-sacrifice point, they directly blocked the secret passage and filled it up.

Fortunately, old Cherki didn't close his eyes that night because he was afraid, otherwise those rats who had tasted the taste of human flesh would have eaten him alive in their sleep!

I have to say that this old man is really fateful, and it is a miracle that he can survive unscathed in such an environment......

However, now that they know the exact location of the other sub-altar, they still have to face a new thorny problem, that is, how to get rid of the sub-altar under the Snake Bay Tavern without causing a commotion.

You know, all the rituals produced in hell, magic circles, sacrifices and other ghost things, although their effects are different, one feature is the same.

That is, if you disarm it in the wrong way, these things will instantly turn into bombs, and everything around them will be blown up into the sky with a "BOOM......

Xue Hua asked Golovin about this, but the result was that he didn't know either.

So there was no choice, Xue Hua had to leave the one below the Snake Bay Tavern for the time being, and go directly to the one that Old Cherki mentioned before.

Under Xue Hua's coaxing, deception, and dragging, the reluctant Cherki was finally dragged into the city by him.

As for those two True God Cult guys... After making sure that they didn't have any secrets to confide in, Xue Hua asked the infected to give them a good time.

The temporary gathering points for these low-status believers are all on the second floor of the Snake Bay Tavern.

Golovin was already the highest-ranking member of them, and according to Golovin, the way they connected to the tasks was to be notified remotely through the spells of the "priest" in the church.

They can only accept it, and there is no room for even a response......

Therefore, it is obviously very unrealistic to rely on them to find the lair of the True God Cult.

After eliminating the outlying leaders of the True God Cult, Xue Hua took Cherki and began a search in the city.

Cherki struggled to recall the scene, trying to reconstruct the exact location of what he saw.

The only landmarks he remembers are the city walls and a large open space.

From the back door of the Snake Bay Tavern to the city wall, the only place with a large open space against the city wall is a school ground specially used for the troops entering the city......

Looking at this clearing, Xue Hua fell into contemplation for a while.

He found that the True God Cult was very particular about the location of the sub-altars.

It's just an empty space right now, but once tomorrow's Abundance Festival begins, the Shining Aegis team stationed in the port area to maintain law and order will be stationed here.

When the time comes, if one of the sub-altars of the Blood Sacrifice erupts under their feet......
