Chapter 14: The Untold Secret
"Heirs?" In order not to arouse Pasius's suspicions, Artevans was only slightly surprised, and did not show too much surprise. Artevans only knew that there was a time every year when people would go outside the forest of Ramas to learn about the changes in the world.
However, the Divine Heirs have a direct relationship with other races, and have been banned since their father was executed.
At this time, a figure appeared in Artevan's mind, and he was the only one who was most likely to have dealings with the Wizard Church.
That's Notek.
"Speaking of which, I am also surprised that the Lord of the Divine Heir Clan would take the initiative to find him and provide the Church with some magic cheats and magic weapons. The reason why the church has achieved today is also because of that great man."
As he spoke, Pasius kept holding the staff in his hand with his right hand.
(He didn't say I hadn't noticed, but there was indeed the energy of the Divine Heir in this room.) )
Artevans felt the breath of the power of the oracle from the bookshelf next to him and from the short staff in Pasius' right hand.
"I'm afraid this legendary race found the church, and it's not just about sending things." Although uncertain, Artevans began to speculate on Notek's intentions when he had already assumed that the people associated with the Wizards' Church were Notek.
"The Lord wants to know more about the Sepien Plains, and ...... I'm sorry, but I promised to keep this secret so I can't reveal it.'" Pasius stopped in the middle of his sentence. But in fact, Patheus has revealed a lot.
The "Dark Whisper" allows the caster's words and consciousness to follow the caster's wishes to a certain extent, but it is not mandatory, but guided.
Without Pacius' knowledge, Artevans made a slight use of the "Dark Secret Language" to Pacius. The spiritual power of Atvance, who has demon blood, is much higher than that of Pacius, who is a human.
(I'm afraid Notek didn't just do this to get this information, but the deal can't be revealed, and even this level of Dark Wizard Secret Whisper can't make him tell the secret.) )
Could it be!?
Artevans thought back to last night's experience and seemed to understand something.
(The cage in the basement, no one is allowed to approach the basement, and the aliens in it are imprisoned.) Notek, it seems that you have done a lot of things behind your master's back. )
"I don't know, what else does Mr. Berance want to know?" Patheus looked at Artevans with a smile on his face, completely unaware that he had fallen under Artfans' magic.
Even if Artevans lifts the magic on Pasius now, the other party will not feel anything unusual, because the "Dark Demon Secret Language" does not belong to mind control, but is more of an invisible psychological inducement based on the suppression of mental power.
"Mr. Pasius, I don't know if you've heard of the Hell." The moment Artevans spoke, he withdrew the magic he had applied to Pasius. He thought that if the spell was cast for too long, sooner or later Pacius would notice something unusual.
Pacius, who had returned to normal, was stunned for a moment, but did not notice what Artevans had done.
"Hell of hell, I'm sorry, I only know it's a demon colony, and it seems to be somewhere in the Kohl Mountains." Patheus' face showed some embarrassment.
"The Church has sent people to search the Cole Mountains, but no trace of the Hell has been found. But all indications are that the entrance to the Hellland is in the Kohl Mountains.'
"Is it ...... Cole Mountains," Artevans muttered to himself, thoughtfully.
Siya also mentioned some things about the Hellsterium to Artevans. But Siya also said that the demon clan originally lived in the plane of the Ostia continent, but for some reason, the ancestor of the demon clan opened up the dark prison, and the whole clan moved to the dark prison.
The conversation continued for more than an hour, after which Artevans left the reception room.
As soon as he walked out the door, Atlence ran into Rogge.
"Did Mr. Berance finish talking to the president, what a coincidence, I just wanted to find the president." Rog gave Atfans an unnatural smile.
"Please." Artevans didn't care, and went downstairs as he spoke.
Looking at Artevans, who was already moving away, Rog turned and entered the reception room, locking the door by the way.
"President, the Lord of the Divine Heir Clan said that he would personally come and take away the nightmare in the basement in two days." Rogge entered the reception room and whispered to Pasius.
"I know, you go ahead and do it, remember that it must be foolproof, and you can't leak the news, especially not let outsiders know." Patheus's expression became serious, "That adventurer, please leave tomorrow, or it may be more troublesome for him to know."
"About that person, uh...... I see, I'll find a good reason.'" Rogge wanted to tell Pasius about the bandits, but in the end, he didn't say it just to be on the safe side.
————————————
After exiting the reception room, Artevans went straight back to his room. Naturally, he didn't hear the conversation between Rogge and Pasius.
Similarly, Artevans was unaware that Rog had discovered that he had destroyed the Rice Bandits. However, even if Artevans knew, he probably wouldn't care too much.
Artevans was just about to take a break when a knock rang out at the door.
Opening the door, standing in front of Artevans was a woman in a blue robe, with her short and sleek hair and a scar on her face that made her seem less like a magician and more of a warrior.
But Artevans did feel the magic from the other party.
"You're Mr. Belance, first meeting. I'm one of the "Five Elders" of the Church, Lora the Wind Shadow, and if you could call me Lora directly, that's the best." Lora smiled politely.
"What's the matter?" Faced with such a direct opening statement, Atfans subconsciously became alert.
"I heard that Mr. Berance is very good, so I wondered if I could have a fight with you." Rala's expression was a little subtle.
"Forgive me for refusing...... Atfans replied almost simultaneously.
"If you win, I can tell you a secret that might be of interest to you." Lora leaned over to Artevans and whispered, "The secret about what to do with that nightmare in the church basement."
(I'm afraid it's a trap, but...... )
Artevans frowned at Rola, his heart fluttering, even though he knew it might be a trap.
After all, Rala's pertinence was so obvious that it was even as if she knew that Artevans had been to the basement.
And Luo La also seemed to know that Artevans would not refuse such a condition, so he did not care about what he said, and his intentions were almost exposed.
"Now?" In the end, Artevans chose to accept Rala's terms, even if it risked putting himself in danger.
"If you're free right now, that's great, I'll be waiting for you in the clearing north of Kiddell." With that, Lora disappeared from Artevans' view.
(Well, I'll see what kind of game you want to set up for me.) )
Lora deliberately left a small hurricane in place so that Artvance would know where she was right away. Attefan reached out and sensed a small hurricane, then disappeared into the doorway of the room.
There were no buildings in the northern part of Kiddell, as if a vacant lot had been set aside on purpose.
After Artevans teleported here, Lora was already in combat mode. The wind swirled around her, and Lora floated in mid-air.
"Mr. Berans, you can use your original strength, there will be no one else here." Lora said, the storm on her body became more raging.
(Did you find out the details, or did she lie to me.) )
Artevans hesitated a little, if he used the power of the demon race like this, it would be tantamount to directly telling the other party that he was not human.
"There's no time to think." Rala's voice rang out overhead.
Atfans looked up, only to see a tornado around Rala, rushing down as if it were going to tear him apart.
(too fast...... )
This kind of speed obviously did not give Atfans extra time, allowing him to use his true power. After all, it takes some time to suppress the effects of the imprint before casting a spell.
Just as Lora was about to hit Artevans, a dark aura expanded. Luo La felt a strong sense of crisis, and immediately retreated with her flexible body, but the dark aura kept approaching, almost devouring her.
"Sure enough, you were the one who destroyed the Royce bandits." Luo La gasped for breath, cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
If she had been a little slower just now, she would have died.
"So, knowing that I did it, you, and Mr. Rogge, are going to do something to me." There was a black mist wrapped around Artevan's hands, and his eyes were a little red.
But Luo La waved her hand and smiled.
"With Mr. Berans's strength, if I fight you with Rogge, I will be sent to death, of course I won't be so stupid." Lora withdrew her magic powers, indicating that she was not hostile.
"Can you tell me about what I want to know?" Artevans also silently withdrew the breath he had released.
"You've ever been in a basement, and even though you've used the magic to shield your senses, and you've not transformed your body into a non-physical state, you've squeezed the air out. Outside the entrance to the basement, I have secretly set up an undetected magic, and if someone approaches and squeezes the air out of it, I will know."
Lora said as she walked towards Artevans. It wasn't until she passed by Artfans that Lora walked straight ahead without looking back.
"Sorry, I digressed a bit. What I'm really trying to say is that in the afternoon two days later, Rog will be here to hand over that nightmare to the Lord of the Divine Heir Clan who came here. So what are you going to do?'
With that, Lora vanished into place, leaving Artevis, whose face sank after hearing this, alone in the clearing.
