Chapter 383 The Secret Case of the Grotto

On a certain day in a certain month of a certain year.

Wuling Canyon, a thatched hut in the village.

"Wow wow...... Wow wow......"

A black, wrinkled, fleshy baby was born.

The woman in charge of the delivery skillfully wiped the amniotic fluid from the baby's body and gently wrapped this fragile little life with a blanket padded with cotton towels.

Then, she habitually lifted the baby's little feet and glanced at the soles of her feet inadvertently......

"Ahh

Wen Po's shrill scream alarmed everyone in the village.

On this night, the village was brightly lit.

That's right, this newborn baby is the skin with flame-shaped birthmarks on the soles of its feet.

This is undoubtedly a big deal for the Wu Clan.

But whether it is happy or bad news is unknown.

Because not everyone wants the King of Wizards to return to the world......

In any case, the news of the reincarnation of the Witch King soon spread among the Witch tribes.

The first great wizard to receive this news was one of the three elders of the wizarding council at that time: the great wizard brown.

The choice of the Great Wizard Brown is to immediately welcome Pi to the Wizarding Council, and gather all the Great Wizards to prepare for the coronation ceremony of the Witch King.

At this time, some great wizards raised questions such as 'suspicious bloodlines' and 'whether the birthmark is true or false', refusing to recognize this infant wizard king.

Of course, there are also some great wizards who have an ambiguous attitude.

Since then, the Wizarding Council has been divided into three factions:

Led by the Great Wizard Brown, the 'True King Faction' that recognizes Skin as the king of wizards.

Led by the great wizard Silver, the 'fake king faction' that denies the identity of the Witch King of Skin.

Led by the Great Wizard Gray, the 'procrastination faction' that believes that it is necessary to continue researching.

After years of strife and infighting, the great wizards of the three factions finally reached a consensus: to hold a witch god divination ceremony to determine the identity of 'skin'.

What is the Witch God Divination Ritual?

As the name suggests, it is to pray to the witch god in order to obtain the consciousness indicated by the gods.

Wait a minute...... Isn't the King of Wizards himself a god of the Witch Clan? And who is this witch god?

The witch god is the true god of the witch clan; The identity of the king of witches is the son of the witch god, and he is the king who was sent by the witch god to come to the world to lead the witch clan.

Whether Pi is the king of wizards or not, it is most appropriate for the witch god to decide.

Some people may wonder - since there is such a good solution, why didn't you use it sooner and have to delay it until now?

First of all, using divination rituals to solve problems is like rolling dice to decide whether you win or lose, and you have no way to influence the outcome - no matter what kind of great wizard you are, you don't want to be so passive.

Secondly, divination is not an ordinary ritual that can be held by slaughtering a few chickens and ducks and killing a few cows and sheep, but requires the sacrifice of a large number of human animals and treasures - if it is not necessary, the great wizards do not want to work too hard and lose their wealth.

Finally, as the highest level of ritual of the witch clan, witch god divination should not be used lightly, because borrowing divine power also has to bear the risk of angering the gods - the moodiness of witch gods is also known.

When the dispute between the great wizards intensified to a certain extent, divination of the witch god became an imperative matter.

But will things go as smoothly as people expect?

Finally, the day came.

The Grand Wizards gathered in the Grotto of the Council to perform divination ceremonies behind closed doors; Pi, who was only a few years old at the time, stayed outside the grotto to wait for the final result, accompanied by his parents.

On that day, only five great wizards left the grotto alive.

What really happened in the grotto?

Pi didn't know.

In his vague memory, he only remembered that when the grotto gate opened, a large crowd of crazy people and animals rushed out, tearing his parents apart alive.

If it weren't for the timely appearance of the Great Wizard Duo and the Great Wizard Bu, Skin's life would have been ruined on that terrible day.

"That's what happened to me." Pi said indifferently, as if he was used to his own miserable experience.

"You didn't know what was going on in the grotto?" I wondered, "The Great Wizard Duo and the Great Wizard Bu never told you?" ”

"They won't say." Pi shook his head helplessly and said, "I only know that from that day on, the Great Wizard Yin and the other two Great Wizards firmly controlled the entire Witch Clan, and I, the 'fake' wizard king, were naturally driven out, if it weren't for the Great Wizard Duo and the Great Wizard Bu, I would really not be as good as a dog now." ”

"I won't tell you, maybe it's because ......," I guessed, "and with your current strength, you can't solve this matter." ”

"One day, I'll fix it!" Peel threw a piece of emerald cake into his mouth and chewed it vigorously.

What happened in the Wu tribe?

Is it just a simple battle between the great wizards?

Or......

I'm curious.

But now isn't the time for curiosity to run wild, so let's put it aside for a moment - there's something more important waiting for me.

After gossiping, Pi and I signed a simple contract paperwork, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then got up to see him off.

Because the conversation was so secretive, I had already closed the hall door.

If you want to leave at this moment, of course you have to open the door.

Squeak......

As soon as I pushed the door, everyone outside the door gathered around.

Looking at the tense situation at the scene, I couldn't help but laugh dumbly, waved my hand, and said, "All the fuss, get out." ”

"Acting as the Door Master." Someone dared to ask, "What is the King of Wizards here for?" He is not welcome at our Eagle Claw Gate. ”

"Yes, he's not welcome!" Someone else chimed in.

"Don't be rude!" I straightened my face, "From today onwards, the Wizard King is an ally of our Eagle Claw Gate, and everything must be treated as a distinguished guest. ”

"This ......," whispered in the crowd.

"Stand down!" With a wave of my hands, I surged out, splitting the crowd in two, and then walked out shoulder to shoulder with Pi.

Walking to the gate of the helmsman, seeing that there was no one on the left and right, Pi winked at me and said in a low voice: "In my opinion, your position as the head of the door came too easily and too anxiously, I'm afraid you can't sit very steadily." ”

"Seems to be the case." I smiled wryly and touched my nose, "If I fall from the position of the acting sect master, will you take the opportunity to step on it?" ”

"Well...... bark didn't know where to pull out a stack of leaves and stuffed a piece of import: "What hasn't happened yet, who knows?" ”

After saying this, he left without looking back.

I stood where I was, watching Pi walk to the corner of the street, only to see a few strange men with sackcloth heads flash out of the corner, and hurried away in their arms.

It was noon, and the streets were still bustling with pedestrians, countless street vendors shouting, countless shop banners, and countless cars and horses......

"Internal and external troubles, ambush on all sides." I let out a long sigh and turned to close the door.
