Chapter Seventy-Three: The Dawn Is Approaching (Part II)
The night still hangs over the land, but the sensitive flowers and plants are already feeling the breath of a new day.
"Your Royal Highness, we are already out of the city." Karena said as she looked around warily.
"Well, we're going to head west." "It's going to be a long journey. ”
At this time, they were walking on an open plain, this is the Galica Plain near the Dream Imperial City, although the area is not large, but it is very rich.
There is a small town here, which can be regarded as an outpost for the defense of the Dream Imperial City, and you can completely walk out of the plain by walking through this small town.
"When we get to that town, we can buy a flying monster." "We're going to be a lot faster." ”
Karenna nodded, and soon the two of them were at the gate of the town, looking at the gate that had been in existence for some years.
Karena took two light blue capsules from her backpack and handed one to Avisha, holding one herself.
The two crushed the capsule in their hands, and a faint blue light enveloped them, and their bodies began to float slowly.
"There are usually no guards here." "Except for some special circumstances, the whole city is under martial law. ”
She and Karena had been playing together in the town since they were very young, so they were familiar with everything here.
The two floated smoothly into the interior of the town and slowly descended to the ground.
There are no tall buildings in the city, only some low buildings, which are much more modest than the bustling Dream Emperor City, and there are few residents.
The two wandered around the city, with scattered pedestrians passing by from time to time, and there were very few nocturnal residents in the town.
After walking for a long time, Avisha stopped in front of a cage mall and glanced at Karena, "This should be it." ”
Karenna looked at the rather luxurious mall in front of her and said, "Something seems to be wrong here. ”
"Huh?" Avissa raised an eyebrow, and she looked around, realizing that something seemed wrong with the magic lights in the mall.
The harmonious colored magic lights that had been hanging on the plaque were now a little chaotic, and the multicolored colors became chaotic.
"It's a phenomenon that is interfered with by magical energy." Karina's expression became serious, "There should be a magician using magic inside. ”
Avisha pursed her lips and said, "Let's go in and have a look, there aren't many people who can make trouble here." ”
Karena nodded in acquiescence and followed Avissa as she pushed the door open, her right hand gripped the saber pinned to her waist.
The huge mall was empty at this time, and the sound of magical explosions and cacophony was constantly heard in the depths of the mall.
The monsters in the cage were in an abnormal state at this time They were walking around the cage uneasily, and some had even begun to bite the sturdy cage and let out angry roars.
Avissa frowned, she knew there was an accident in the mall, and now that it was open, it was worse than she thought.
The two of them walked to the inner door, which was the high-level trading office of the Warcraft Mall, and those who could enter here were generally nobles and officials.
"The door is locked." Karena shook the doorknob, the screams that kept coming from inside shook her eardrums.
"Then the only way to do this is to use force." Avissa motioned to Karena, who understood and drew her sword.
Karena held the long sword and concentrated, the crimson flames surrounded the blade, and soon, Karena swung a sword at the door, and the powerful flames instantly smashed on the door.
A violent explosion sounded, and the inner door was completely destroyed, and Avissa pulled Karenna in as soon as possible.
"Who is it?!" A man in a black robe with a hard face to see said, the thick smoke obscuring his vision.
The original trading place has become unrecognizable, and the walls are covered with many strange ornaments that I don't know what to do, and the most conspicuous and strange thing is the dark purple pattern painted on the ground.
The pattern is circular in shape, with a large circular outline painted in a very standard manner, with three pairs of black wings of various sizes drawn in the outline, with the middle wing being the most conspicuous.
Around the pattern sat a number of bound men, who seemed to have lost their minds and could only scream helplessly, and the screams were unbearable.
The black-robed man ignored all of this, he just wanted to know who had broken in and interrupted his ritual.
Behind him, many others dressed in the same costume stood up and looked into the smoke.
"Karenna, do you know who those are?" Avisha, who had been hiding behind the cage using the Cryptography technique, whispered.
"They're dressed in weird ways, but it's supposed to be a ritual for the Demon God cultists." Karena said.
"Demon God Cultist ......" Avisha was very surprised, she knew that there were still many Demon God Sect members in the empire, but she didn't expect them to dare to perform sacrifice rituals here.
This is the closest place to the capital of the empire, and the tentacles of the Demon God Sect have reached here, which has to show that the Demon God Sect has grown a lot in secret.
"We don't know what the strength of these disciples is, so we'll wait and see what happens." Avisha said, and Karena next to her nodded.
The black-robed man standing in the middle of the pattern glanced at his men around him, and they stretched out their palms toward the broken door.
The palms of his hands were covered with strange black lines, and at this time they began to emit a faint black light, and in an instant, a thick black mist shrouded the doorway.
Karena stared at the black mist, and a white glow appeared on her body, which was Avisha's use of spells to protect them from the influence.
"Demon Dance...... The strength of these people should not be inferior to that of Dark Star. Karena whispered, and after looking at it for a while, all the places that were touched by the black mist were corroded, and a strange black substance appeared.
"However, this demonic mist is not very powerful, so it should not have the power of the Death Omen......" Karena judged.
"Can we solve them with the strength of the two of us?" Avisha asked again.
"I think so." Karena spoke, exchanging a few words with Avisha, and then leaned down, ready for a surprise attack.
When the black-robed man at the head saw that the black mist had enveloped the destroyed place, he no longer had any worries and continued their sacrificial ritual.
He turned and instructed the believers to stand in their designated position, holding a black object in their hands that he didn't know what it was, and then he opened his mouth and stopped just as he was about to say the prayer.
"What's that?" The man looked back, and behind the debris there was a white point of light that kept flickering, catching his attention.
Although the light of this point of light was faint, it gave the man an extremely uncomfortable feeling, and he pointed to the glowing place, motioning for the believer to come forward and take a look.
The three black-robed believers cautiously walked over there, and they took out a very sharp dagger from the sleeve of the wide robe, wrapped in a dark purple light.
They approached the clutter and were about to walk to the back, when suddenly the originally faint point of light became extremely shining, and the intense light instantly caused the believers to wail.
All the believers were stunned by the light, and a crimson flame blade suddenly flashed from behind the light source, cutting off the three believers.
Karina shuttled through the room at a very fast speed, she swung her long sword and rushed towards the black-robed man in the lead, and with a finger of the sword, a huge fireball instantly engulfed several people who had not yet reacted.
The worshippers were all burned to ashes by the flames, and when the flames dispersed, Karina's eyes widened in surprise.
The black-robed man at the head was unscathed, and a faint black phantom appeared on his back, in the shape of a pair of wings.
"There is still a little girl like you who is not afraid of death to find trouble." The man's tone was full of disdain and mockery, and the face covered by the black robe only revealed a pair of evil eyes.
The man reached out and made a snap of his fingers, and Karena was instantly knocked several meters away and slammed into the wall.
Avissa hurriedly came out from behind and helped Karina, "Are you alright?" ”
"Damn, this time I made a mistake in judgment......" Karena wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, "Your Highness, run away, I'll hold them down here." ”
The man looked at the two girls opposite and let out a strange laugh, "I didn't expect there to be two, both virgins, this is a first-class sacrifice!" ”
The man snapped his fingers, wisps of black mist appeared around him, and the form of the black mist gradually changed into human form, and the originally destroyed believers were standing in place intact again.
"Take them down for me!" The man gave the order, and the believers took out their daggers and rushed towards Avisha.
……
Heiyao City, the mansion of the Kajinette family, Tian Xuelan was looking intently at the mirror in her hand.
This mirror seemed to have some kind of wonderful power, which made Tian Xuelan deeply attracted to it, and gradually the figure in the mirror began to distort and become another person.
Tian Xuelan was unaware of this, still staring firmly at the mirror, and the strange woman in the mirror showed a strange smile at her.
At this moment, the mirror burst in Tian Xuelan's hand, and Tian Xuelan was also sobered up after being frightened, and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
What happened to me just now...... Tian Xuelan couldn't help but be a little frightened, she seemed to be ...... by a mirror Bewitched?
What's really going on here? Where exactly did the members of the Cavinette family go? Does all this have anything to do with Lingxi?
Just as she was beginning to think, she was awakened by the sound of the door opening downstairs, and she realized that it was probably a member of the Cajinette who had returned.
She cast a dark spell on herself as she cautiously exited the room and walked down the stairs, intending to see what was going on.
It was a middle-aged man with a gray face who hurried up to the second floor as soon as he entered, where there seemed to be something that attracted him.
Tian Xuelan watched him pass by her, so she quietly followed.
