Levi was confused.

From the moment he hung upside down from the streetlight, he could clearly feel that each of his spells had become stronger, stronger, more restless, and more brutal and tyrannical with out-of-order puppets, unstable activated magnetic storms, and lifeless beast bites.

At that time, Levi was suspicious and secretly searched for the source of that power.

And when the bite of the lifeless beast tore Maguire apart, he finally realized that this reinforcement did not come from his anger or other negative emotions, but from "fear".

Not your own fear, but the enemy's fear!

When Maguire's fear deepened, Levi seemed to have received the blessing of the devil and the gift of the devil, and all kinds of attributes were instantly strengthened!

"It's like...... Some kind of bloodline ability, or natural ability?" he rubbed his chin and muttered to himself.

This unique attribute similar to "passive ability" is consistent with the description of bloodline ability or innate ability.

Levi groaned, recalling his various materials.

Bloodline ability comes from bloodline inheritance, often there are traces to follow, each bloodline ability is the fruit on the branch of the same bloodline tree, but the high and low positions are different, some people can pick it, some people can't.

The aristocracy has a "tree map" similar to the "family tree", which details the ability of each bloodline of the family, and even the emblem and clan language of some families are related to ability.

For example, the "Chant Family" Stansinger, the origin of the word "Chant" is the bloodline ability "Chant", when the ability of the person plays a long song, the song has the effect of "group morale" and "holy shield", no need to consume mana, the buff effect is only related to the size of the voice.

What's more, some of the great nobles who have a long heritage even have a bloodline map called the "Inverted Tree", which not only records the bloodline ability of their own family, but also has more abilities derived from marrying other nobles!

Talent and bloodline are different.

Innate abilities come from the soul, and as we all know, the soul is inscrutable and nowhere to be found.

Compared to the Bloodline ability, the innate ability is often more powerful and unpredictable, but its rarity and difficulty of awakening are also far superior to the bloodline ability. It is also for this reason that the "Supreme Holy Baptism", which can give people talents, has always been the goal of many great nobles.

The knuckles of chaos are a gift.

Levi suspects that this new ability may also be a natural ability. After all, this ability is really weird, and it really has nothing to do with the blood of the chant.

"Hmm......" he rubbed his chin and looked strange, "Fear as a nourishment? Hey, hey, I'm not a demon." ”

Levi's heart was heavy.

He suspected that although the blasphemoa on his body was gone, he was afraid that it would still have some residual effects. After all, that is the one who can make a green bishop talk about it, and is known as the "head of the old gods".

"Forget it, forget it," Levi thought about it for a while, and decided to be lazy for the time being, and throw the trouble to himself in the future, "Whether it's bloodline ability or talent, it's still just a prototype, let's think about it when it fully awakens!"

Next question.

He took off the Strange Tale Codex and slowly opened it.

Not surprisingly, on the pages of the strange tale codex, another insect-shaped rune appeared, and the two insect-shaped runes were like flies, flying up and down, competing and colliding, performing a treacherous and unpredictable dance of insects.

"Huh?" Levi's eyebrows raised, his expression changed suddenly, "This is ......"

His surprise didn't stem from the new worm-shaped rune, it was almost a copy of the previous one, and there was nothing special.

But in the upper right corner of the page of the Codex, the text has changed, it was "Murder Cabin", and now-

"The circle of wolves?" Levi narrowed his eyes, and the essence in his pupils flickered.

This, he realized, seemed like a hint.

"Murder Cottage" alludes to the events in the pendulum attic, but what about the "Circle of Wolves"?

But the meaning of this word is really obscure.

Levi had heard of sheepfolds, but had never heard of wolffolds.

He frowned.

"There's too little information...... Levi is a lover of reasoning, but with just one lonely word, he can't analyze the reason at all.

Coo-goo-goo......

As he was thinking, the voice of an owl rang behind him, like a telephone ringing, and there was a long string of voices.

"Who?" Levi turned his gaze back.

In the pale moonlight, on the lower edge of the arched window, there was a gray owl.

"Levi, it's me. The owl spoke, and his voice was crisp and pleasant.

"Miss Brewster?" Levi recognized the voice, and was slightly startled, and then his expression was abrupt.

It is no surprise that Candace Brewster is the priest of the throne of the night and the owl is the messenger of the night, and that the egg-faced girl can drive the owl.

"I have some news that might be of interest to you......" said the owl.

"Phone bug?" Levi muttered under his breath, and asked again, "What's the news?"

"The results of the investigation are in. The owl spun its head and seemed to look at Levi, but its mouth made a methodical Candace sound, "You're right, Jonathan and Maguire are the winners of that 'selection'." ”

"So," Levi's eyes lit up, and the corners of his lips appeared with cold murderous intent, "There are still two murderous maniacs left wandering around the city?"

"More than that. Candace paused, her voice harsh.

"What do you mean?" Levi was stunned.

"There is more than one selection...... Candace smiled bitterly, "In the surroundings of Cloud City, there are as many as three traces of 'selection' found alone!"

"So many?" Levi was shocked and couldn't help but ask, "No, are there so many escapees?"

"Of course not!" Candace seemed to shake her head, and the owl shook her head stiffly, "the other 'selection' attendees are bandits, savages, and even vagabonds from outside the city. By the way, there's one more thing......"

"What's the matter?" asked Levi, who didn't want to meddle in his business, but he couldn't hold back.

Forget it, trouble this thing, if you don't look for it, it will come to you...... It's better to prepare early and be prepared.

He secretly exculpates himself.

"That escape was not a simple riot, it was an organized event, and it was related to the Pale Worm!" Candace seemed to smile as her voice rang out.

"Pale worm?" Levi frowned again, the third time he'd heard the name.

"Before the escape, an evil ritual 'stabbing punishment' was performed in the prison. To put it simply, a group of people stabbed each and put a sacrifice to death! The 'Punishment of the Sword' summoned the pale worm's servant 'Beast', and it was because the Beast smashed the iron door of the prison that the gang was able to escape from prison. ”

"Then," Levi's expression changed, as if thoughtful, "but the next thing is a little strange......

"Yes. The owl nodded, and continued, "The prisoners, including the other winners of the 'selection', have all become 'sinners' and not 'worms'. Except for the strange flies under the tongue, in them we don't find the slightest clue about the pale worm. ”

"After paving the way for the sins of the ambush, the pale worm has retired?" Levimo rubbed his chin and sneered in his heart, "This pale worm, does he want to stand in the center of the world and call for love?"

It was so weird that he didn't feel right, but he couldn't say why.

"Here's the Pale Worm's profile, you can take a look. The owl spreads its wings and drops a gray package, "If you have any ideas, you can communicate with each other and exchange ......"

The owl circled around and left the room.

Levi looked out the window in a daze, and sighed: The other party wanted to pull himself into the water, but what about himself? Without even waiting for the other party to exert his strength, he jumped off by himself.

He opened the package and flipped through the materials.

"The pale worm, with the god name 'King of Worms', 'Wriggling Pain', 'Worm without Pupils', etc., favored pain and death, and the disciples called themselves 'worm messengers'......"

Li Wei read it line by line, and its records were extremely detailed, and even, at the bottom of a page of information, there was a complete formation diagram and ritual flow of the "Punishment of Stabbing".

"What's the matter, I'm afraid I don't know how to please the Pale Worm, and give me an extra guide to summoning the old gods?" he whispered, continuing to watch, but his expression changed little by little.

This magic array "Punishment of Stabbing", he actually understood it!

Even, he easily dissects and deconstructs it, sees through the flow of its rules, and comprehends its profound meaning.

Levi was startled, and leaned back slightly: "I'll go, I'm not the legendary 'anti-plane personality', right?"

He thought about it for a while, and then he realized.

If it is an ordinary magician, the moment he sees the "punishment of stabbing", he will immediately have a feeling of disgust, and I am afraid that he will not even want to take a second look, let alone analyze it.

But Levi was an "outsider".

He has no preconceived notions, and his attitude is detached and objective, so whether he observes the "punishment of the stab" or watches the production of the stitching monster, he has no affinity or disgust, and only interprets it in an absolutely rational way.

In addition, the existence of the Strange Tale Codex has allowed him to continuously obtain the core laws of warping runes, hunting and harvesting the old gods, and his understanding of its rules has become more and more profound. Even, some of the disciples of the old gods may not have as real their understanding of their belief in gods as he did.

"If you fight with the dragon for too long, you will become a dragon yourself, and if you stare into the abyss for too long, the abyss will stare back. ”

Suddenly, a sentence in the strange tale codex came to my heart, and my brows also rose.

Levi frowned slightly.

But he only hesitated for a moment, and his expression became firm again.

Regarding this point, Michelle has long pointed out that the important thing is to keep the heart contract, and only use the laws of the old gods as a tool, only "use", not "body", and it will not affect itself at all.

"Isn't it right to master Yi's long skills to control Yi?" Li Wei grinned with an open-minded expression, "It's enough to use the methods of the old gods to deal with the disciples of the old gods!"

He was suddenly inspired.

"It is said that the day after tomorrow, Miss Green will return, and I still don't have any 'creative inspiration' for the scroll. Levi groaned, his eyes flickering, "In that case, why not ......"
