Chapter 290: Peeling Back the Cocoon
Lin Fei laughed: "Although the corridor is very long, it is not only Ephelia's room. The doors to these rooms are also unlocked, just open the door and throw the heart inside. You, like the wolf-faced man, after killing the supernatural power, pulled out the heart, and threw it into a nearby door, you know, everyone's mood is not very stable, and you will definitely not think to explore the nearby room, only to leave the place as soon as possible. ”
"Bang bang bang".
Hearing the applause, everyone looked at Pastor Red, only to see that at this time, Red was looking at Lin Fei with admiration on his face.
"You're so smart, yes, I killed that fox-faced person with extraordinary abilities. My reason for killing him is also very simple, it is exactly like you said, he is a person of extraordinary ability. ”
Vaane, Kane, and Lisa all looked at Pastor Red in a daze, but they didn't expect this Pastor Red to admit happily, would that respected Pastor Red really do such a thing because that person was a person with extraordinary abilities? Isn't he afraid of the temple's punishment?
Pastor Red finally took off his disguise at this point, and said with a look of pity on his face, "It's a pity that Horn doesn't have a very bright brain, if he can be as improvisable as me, he won't die." I wonder, though, how did you know that I was going to kill them because they were superpowers? ”
Lin Fei was silent for a moment and said: "There are two reasons, first, there have been rumors of evil spirits in this castle for four or five days, and it is impossible for your temple not to know about it, but you have been silent all along, but just after these three people with extraordinary abilities found Count Perio, you also came." Could it really be such a coincidence? ”
"Of course it can't be such a coincidence, I did come here because of them, so what about the second reason?" Pastor Red asked.
Lin Fei said: "I once asked Lisa a question. I asked her what kind of person Pastor Red was. She said Pastor Red was a very religious person. ”
"What? Could it be that being a devout believer would be a reason for me to kill someone of extraordinary power? ”
Lin Fei shook his head: "Devout believers won't, but extreme believers will, you are a devout pastor, your piety is a bit extreme, you once buried yourself in the soil for more than a month, this is not an ordinary pastor or believer can do things." The average devout believer will act according to the teachings of the goddess of the earth, but what about the extreme believers? will distort God's doctrine. For example, you. ”
On the mainland, the relationship between the temple and the supernatural can be described as extremely complicated. During the Holy Empire, the temple was not a temple of a certain god, but a temple of gods, believing in all the gods, this temple was called the temple of gods, the temple of gods because of the belief in many gods, the internal beliefs were not unified, so the internal strife was fierce, and there was no time to care about the affairs of the supernatural ability, although the relationship with the supernatural ability was not good, but there was no dispute, it can be described as very peaceful.
Six hundred years ago, the Holy Empire fell apart, divided into five kingdoms and many principalities, and the temples of the gods also fell apart, splitting into many temples that believed in a single god, occupying the beliefs of various countries, such as the kingdom of Pablos, which believed in the goddess of the earth alone.
After the collapse of the temples, many temples were united in their beliefs, and attitudes towards the supernatural changed in their attitudes. However, this change is related to the teachings of the gods, and some of the teachings of the gods are extreme, so those temples are extremely repulsive to those with extraordinary abilities. Some of the gods were generous in their teachings, and those temples were kinder to those with supernatural abilities.
Speaking of which, the teachings of the Temple of the Earth Goddess are relatively generous, and the attitude towards the supernatural is also relatively generous, but even under the generous teachings, there will be some crazy believers, and this Pastor Red is one of them.
Pastor Red believes that only gods can trigger miracle powers, and the rest of the miracle powers caused by people are signed with devils, so he hates the supernatural abilities very much, so he heard that the supernatural abilities came to this moon cliff to eliminate the spirits, so he brought two temple warriors, and their purpose was to kill the supernatural powers.
Lisa looked at Lin Fei with reverence, and only then did she understand what Lin Fei's seemingly casual questions represented. Wayne and Kane's gaze at Lin Fei also became admiration, and this admiration naturally would not be Lin Fei's strength, but Lin Fei's wisdom.
But at this time, Pastor Red said, "I admit that I killed the fox-faced supernatural ability, but who killed the wolf-faced supernatural ability?" The way he died was so weird that it didn't look like a human did it, can you know how he died? ”
At this time, everyone also reacted, remembering the death of the wolf-faced supernatural ability.
Indeed, that way of dying is too weird and unreasonable. So they all looked at Lin Fei, waiting for his answer. It's just that the answer they have in their hearts is the same, that is, it was a human being who killed the wolf-faced supernatural ability, not the so-called evil spirit.
Lin Fei looked at Clyde on the side, and said meaningfully: "You are very fragrant." ”
Several people were a little stunned when they heard Lin Fei's unexplained words, even Pastor Red. But only Clyde's body shook slightly.
"He's fragrant? How can I not smell it? Lisa was a little confused.
Lin Fei smiled and said, "Maybe my nose is more smart!" ”
Lisa remembered the scene when Lin Fei saw the castle in the darkness of the wind and snow, and her heart was instantly relieved, after experiencing these things, at this time she felt that even if any miracle happened to Lin Fei, it was a matter of course, and before she knew it, her inner trust in Lin Fei had become blind trust.
"Wait, you mean the wolf-faced supernatural that Clyde killed?" After all, Pastor Red was much more sophisticated, and he felt that Lin Fei seemed to mean something when he said this.
The rest reacted and looked at Clyde.
Clyde smiled without a panicked look on his face and said, "I'm fragrant because I've loved wearing sachets since I was a child, and you should know that most of the temple warriors and clergy wear sachets." As for me killing the wolf-faced supernatural person? I really wanted to kill him, because before I came, Pastor Red gave us the order to kill the three supernatural powers, but unfortunately I never had the chance. In fact, I was very surprised by the death of the wolf-faced supernatural person. You can't frame me for no reason, can you? ”
At this time, it was already clear, after all, Reverend Red had already admitted it, so even if Clyde admitted that he killed the wolf-faced supernatural ability, there was no problem, but Clyde did not admit it, which made everyone feel very credible.
"Mr. Film, are you mistaken? How could he be the murderer of the Wolf-Faced Extraordinary? The death of a wolf-faced supernatural is not something that humans can do at all! Vane said in disbelief.
Clyde saluted Vane and said, "It's still Young Master Vane who understands things, and it's the evil spirit that kills the wolf-faced supernatural ability!" ”
"Really? I don't think so, because you're not the real Clyde. Lin Fei said, "Take off your disguise, Miss Belice Headless." ”
"What? Is he Belis? "Everybody was shocked.
Pastor Red has known Belice for so many years in Kaifeng City. And Vane, Kane, and Lisa know about Bellis, and they also know about Bellis's family.
At this time, the body of the tiger-faced supernatural ability also trembled slightly, and it seemed that he couldn't believe that Clyde was Belis.
Clyde was stunned and wondered, "I'm Belis?" Mr. Film, are you mistaken? ”
"I'm not mistaken, Reverend Red, you Earth Goddess Temple won't be in Kaifeng City for so long that you don't know that the family where Belice was born is a bloodline warrior family, right?"
"Bloodline Warrior Family?" Kane was startled. He is a martial artist, of course he knows what the bloodline warrior family represents, that is the extraordinary power it represents. What is Extraordinary Power? That's the power beyond mortal imagination. Although he was the number one master under Count Perio, he was still a mortal.
Only Vane and Lisa were still a little young, and although they knew the rumors of the bloodline warriors, they didn't understand what it meant!
Priest Red said, "Of course, our temple knows that Miss Belis's family is the Hydes family, which has inherited the blood of the frost elves, and has the power of frost. Because of their family's bloodline, girls born in each generation will inherit the appearance of the previous generation, and they will live longer than ordinary people, and they will always remain young until the end of their life and return to the arms of the earth goddess. However, this matter is also confidential within our temple, after all, bloodline warriors are extremely powerful existences, if they don't expose themselves, our temple doesn't want to expose their identities to provoke them. ”
Reverend Red paused and continued, "If it was Belice who killed that wolf-faced supernatural power, then everything would have been explained, and it was too simple for her with the power of frost to cause that strange way of death. ”
"I see!"
The crowd looked at Kane again.
Kane frowned and said: "At that time, it was me and Young Master Vane who entered the cellar to find the secret door, and Pastor Red and this tiger-faced supernatural ability were following us, we only heard Clyde's exclamation, so at that time, only Clyde and the dead wolf-faced supernatural ability left our sight, if it wasn't the wolf-faced supernatural ability killed by the evil spirit, it was Clyde, but Clyde couldn't do this kind of thing, what could be done was the bloodline warrior Belis." ”
"I see!" Lisa flickered.
"Wait. Something is still wrong! Vane said abruptly, "Mr. Film, this is only a possibility, but I don't think it can be ruled out at all that it is the hand of the evil spirit. What if it was done by evil spirits? Have we not wronged the good people? ”
Vane looked at Lin Fei, waiting for Lin Fei's explanation.
Vane looked young, but he was extremely intelligent, and this time he asked the crux of the whole thing.
Lin Fei didn't explain, but said to himself: "I've always been very strange. ”
"What's the matter?" Lisa asked.
Lin Fei looked at Priest Red: "This castle has always had rumors of evil spirits, but this place is only thirty miles away from Kaifeng City, will the temple not know that there are evil spirits here?" But why hasn't this evil spirit been eradicated for hundreds of years? After thinking about it, I only came up with two answers, the first is that there are no evil spirits here, and the second is that the evil spirits here are beyond the power of the temple. But after all this strange thing, I felt that there were no evil spirits in this castle at all. ”
"No evil spirits? But why can't we get into Miss's room? How to explain the all-engulfing black fog and the laughter of evil spirits? Lisa asked curiously.
Lin Fei said: "Take out the wand of the fox-faced supernatural ability." ”
Lisa took out the wand from her waist and handed it to Lin Fei.
Lin Fei took the wand in front of everyone and said, "This is the wand of the fox-faced supernatural ability, everyone still remembers the extraordinary power of the fox-faced supernatural ability in the corridor at that time." That's a real transcendent power, and I think it was at that time that Reverend Red decided that he had to kill the three supernatural beings recklessly, right? ”
"Yes, I saw the extraordinary power he unleashed, and I felt the extraordinary power."
"Lord Red, you should know more, right?" Lin Fei's eyes narrowed, and he said: "Although the supernatural ability casts the flame, you can see that this supernatural ability is just the lowest-level existence among the supernatural abilities, and the reason why he can exert the extraordinary power of great power is by relying on the blue crystal on this wand, Lord Red should know the role of this blue crystal, right?" ”
"I didn't expect Mr. Filin to be a mere witcher who is not only so smart, but also so well-informed." Red was impressed and then explained: "This blue crystal is a precious ore, and the output is very small, and in the realm of extraordinary power, this natural item is called a magic crystal, which can create illusions. When building the Tower of the Transcendental, many Transcendental Beings will bury this blue crystal near the Transcendental Abode to create illusions and confuse people's minds to ensure the safety of the Transcendental Residence. ”
"Yes, that fox-faced supernatural ability can only cast that little bit of fire itself, but relying on the illusion created by this blue crystal, everyone mistakenly thinks that he has unleashed a powerful supernatural power." Lin Fei shook his head: "It's a pity that he didn't know that when he was exerting his extraordinary power, someone was wanting his life." ”
Vane frowned and said, "What does this have to do with evil spirits?" ”
Lin Fei smiled: "Of course it matters, think about it, in the black mist, although you are panicked and frightened, but did the so-called evil spirit really hurt you?" ”
Kane and Vane and Lisa were silent.
"Illusion?"
Vane thought about it, it was indeed what Lin Fei said, even in the black mist, they were not attacked by evil spirits, but he still had doubts: "If we have always been confused by the illusion, then why did those demon hunters before suffer heavy casualties?" ”
"I think they killed each other." Lin Fei said: "The illusion created by that illusion should make people mistakenly think that other people are evil spirits, so they attack each other, and then slash and kill each other. ”
"But why are we all right?" Vane instantly pointed out the loophole in Lin Fei's words, and said, "According to what you said, we should also kill each other, right?" ”
Lin Fei said: "This is also very simple, when everyone is shrouded in black fog, I will go and erase the source of the illusion, so the power of the illusion becomes smaller, and I can't confuse you, otherwise I am afraid that you will kill each other like those demon hunters without knowing it." ”
At this time, Lisa remembered what Lin Fei had told her in the black fog and woke up in a shock, she looked at Lin Fei, and saw the look on Lin Fei's face that everything was under control, and she knew in her heart that Lin Fei probably knew it a long time ago, which was originally something to be happy about. But she gradually felt uneasy.
"The source of the illusion? Sapphire crystal? But I didn't see any blue crystals in the hallway! Kane said.
Lin Fei laughed and said: "The characteristics of the blue crystal itself are peculiar, even if it is turned into powder, it can also create illusions, do you remember the oil painting on the wall of the corridor?" The blue pigment on it is made from the powder of sapphire. ”
It's normal for some gems to be used as paints, but it's so normal that no one thinks about it for a while, and it's called dark under the lamp. At this time, when Lin Fei said this, everyone was instantly stunned.
"It turned out it was all an illusion."
Wayne and Kane were visibly relieved.
But at this time, Vane thought more, he knew that the paint on it was asked by his sister Ephelia to paint it, if this is really the case, does it mean that the mastermind behind all this is his sister Epheria?
"Yes, because it is an illusion, there are no evil spirits at all, because there are no evil spirits, so the temple has been ignoring this castle, because they know that this castle is a place for the bloodline family, how can there be evil spirits." Lin Fei looked at Clyde: "Since there are no evil spirits, there is no one else except for the one with the extraordinary ability of the wolf face that you can kill in time." And the only way to die like this is a bloodline warrior. ”
Reverend Red looked at Clyde's eyes wide with anger and shouted, "Miss Bliss, don't you want to take off your disguise now?" Where is the real Clyde? What did you do to him? ”
Without waiting for Clyde to speak, Vane said: "None of this matters, since the evil spirit does not exist, and the source of the illusion in the corridor has also been erased by you, then my sister Epheria's room can also be entered, rescue my sister first." ”
Lisa was stunned, looked at the high platform in the distance, and asked, "Who is that figure?" ”
"I don't know, we haven't seen it yet, but I think she must not be my sister."
"I don't know if it's your sister, but I do know that the figure isn't a living thing. On such a cold day, the man was only wearing a white dress, and even if he was unconscious, he would be awakened by freezing. Lin Fei paused and said, "As for your sister's room, you don't need to go, because I have been to your sister's room, and there is no one inside." ”
"No one? So where is my sister? Vane's face changed, and he looked at the high platform in the distance, and ran over without bothering to expose Clyde's true face.
Lisa, who also had an ugly face, followed, followed by Kane.
Seeing Lisa follow, Lin Fei didn't dare to stay too far away from her, and chased after her with the tiger-faced supernatural ability.
Clyde looked at Pastor Red, who had not left, and shook his head slightly: "Lord Red, you won't really believe his words, will you?" ”
Red's face changed suddenly, and he smiled: "It doesn't matter who you are, the important thing is that you killed that supernatural ability, whether he is really a supernatural ability or not, since he is involved with the supernatural ability, he deserves to die." ”
After saying that, Red also walked towards the high platform, leaving a somewhat stunned Clyde, Clyde did not expect Reverend Red to say such a thing, and couldn't help but smile dumbly, and walked towards the high platform.
The high platform is about nine meters high, with a diameter of only two meters, and it is cylindrical.
The body is full of carved lines, spreading down to the ground, and the three pillars next to each have a thick black gold iron chain, one end of this iron chain is directly locked on the ground, and there are some complex lines on the ground that can be connected with the lines on the cylindrical platform, so it seems that the iron chain is closely connected with those complex lines.
There are also twelve sarcophagi next to it, lined up one after another, and complex lines spread from under the sarcophagus to the column and the three pillars, which look full of mystery.
Vane crossed the sarcophagus and instructed Kane, "Kane, go up and see if it's Ephelia." ”
Kane nodded, put the long sword at his waist, and began to climb, Lisa below also wanted to go up, but was stopped by Lin Fei, so she had to wait anxiously.
Lin Fei looked at the sarcophagus carefully, and found that these sarcophagi were ordinary, there was nothing peculiar, there were exactly twelve, and they should be the first twelve owners of this castle.
Seeing that there was no problem with the sarcophagus, Lin Fei turned his gaze to the three pillars with iron chains, the first pillar was depicted with some legendary magical beasts, including giant dragons, immortal birds, earthly dragons, flaming birds, and so on.
The second pillar depicts unicorns, four-winged Pegasi and other pure magical beasts.
The thing carved on the last pillar made Lin Fei frown slightly, only to see that the depiction on this pillar was the three-headed dog of hell, the fire demon, the minotaur and other monsters.
"Although the dragon and the immortal bird are legendary monsters, they are at least human things, and this unicorn and four-winged Pegasus are creatures that symbolize purity in the sacred texts of some gods, and most of them live in the so-called kingdom of God, as for the three-headed dog and the fire demon are all things of hell, it seems that these three pillars correspond to the kingdom of heaven, the earth and hell respectively."
Pastor Red also walked over, looking at the three pillars and was slightly stunned, and then he looked at the sarcophagus around him, his brow furrowed, as if he remembered something, and fell into deep thought.
At this time, Kane's voice came from above: "Master Vane, this is not Miss Epheria. Just a well-preserved corpse. ”
Hearing Kane's words, both Vane and Lisa breathed a sigh of relief.
"Since it's not Ephelia, Kane, come down!"
Kane leaped into the air, jumping off a nine-metre-high platform.
Vane looked at Lin Fei, and at this time, his disgust for Lin Fei had long been thrown out of the clouds, replaced by incomparable admiration. Now that his sister's whereabouts are unknown, Wayne knows that if anyone in the audience can find Epheria, then this person must be Lin Fei.
"Mr. Film, do you know where my sister is? If you can help me find her, I will thank you! Vane's tone was rather respectful.
Seeing that Vane was so respectful, Lin Fei pointed to the tiger-faced supernatural ability beside him and said to Vane, "He knows your sister's whereabouts. ”
"He knows?" At this time, Vane remembered this person with extraordinary ability to kill him in the name of being an evil spirit, and his face became hideous: "Tell me, where is my sister, I can spare you from death!" ”
"I, I, I don't know!" The Tiger-Faced Extraordinary Ability said in horror.
After those previous events, Vane had great trust in Lin Fei, where would he believe the defense of this tiger-faced person with extraordinary ability, and sneered: "What Mr. Fei Lin said will naturally not be false, you don't want to deceive me." ”
As soon as Vane finished speaking, Kane pointed his sword at the Tiger-Faced Extraordinary Ability.
Seeing Kane's glittering sword, the Tiger-Faced Extraordinary Ability felt his killing intent and collapsed to the ground in panic, his tone full of fear: "I really don't know. ”
Seeing him like this, it seemed that he really didn't know Ephelia's whereabouts, Vane looked at Lin Fei, and his eyes showed a plea.
Lin Fei sighed and said, "Young Master Wayne, do you really want to find your sister?" ”
"Of course!" Vane said with a firm gaze.
"If you give up now, maybe she'll show up safe tomorrow?"
Vane thought for a moment, but still said firmly: "No, my sister has been missing for so long, I am very worried about her, and I want to see her earlier to confirm her safety." ”
Lin Fei looked at Lisa and asked in a rare gentle voice, "Lisa, what do you think?" ”
When Lisa heard Lin Fei's words, she was faintly uneasy in her heart, and when she remembered everything that happened, she was even more uneasy in her heart, but the worry about Ephelia in her heart was still beyond the uneasiness in her heart, she raised her head to look at Lin Fei, bit her lip and said, "Mr. Filin, I want to see Miss Ephelia earlier." I'm just as worried about her as Master Vane. ”
Lin Fei sighed silently in his heart, his expression became indifferent, and his voice became extremely indifferent: "Then I will tell you the whereabouts of Ephelia as you wish!" ”
