Chapter 51: The Inheritor
A few days later, inside the dining room of the Temple of Hades.
The restaurant, which is usually in a hurry, is particularly lively today, with a cheerful atmosphere flowing in the air, and the wheel-shaped candlesticks hanging from the dome are shining brightly, and one after another snow-white tablecloths are reflected red by the candlelight. Most of the food on the table is fruit and meat, a small portion is pastry made from papyrus stalks mixed with sugar, and the rest is vegetables and dairy products. In addition to being a little lighter, it can be regarded as full of color and flavor.
"Cheers!"
The crisp clinking of glasses sounded one after another, and the brightly lit space was filled with laughter.
It was a celebration to celebrate the perfect conclusion of the charity auction, and the attendees were all members of the temple who had finally been able to relax and enjoy the food and prize money after a busy week.
Thanks to the efforts of all the members of the temple, the goods worth eight million debens were sold for more than three million, which not only reached the red line drawn by Eru Lome that day, but also slightly exceeded - which meant that one-twentieth of the funds fell to the temple's account.
Excluding the cost of dividends, the income on the accounts of the Temple of Hades is still objective.
What's more, a heavy stone hanging in Ivan in his heart finally landed easily.
"This time to be able to raise so much donation, all rely on His Majesty to preside over the plan, for the merit of saving the victims this time, I salute you!"
The main account who received the bounty was smoky, and his speech was a little incoherent, and he stood up with great difficulty, raised his glass and saluted Evan. After the other party bowed slightly, he drank the wine himself and poured it back into his seat softly.
Their drink is a very frothy beer, the liquid is clear blue, the aroma is strong, the taste is refreshing and slightly sweet, and the alcohol content is not high. Those who can drink half-drunk and half-awake can only be boiled down to the category of 'being in a good mood and willing to get drunk'.
"Yes, yes, Brother Evan is so handsome!"
Xia Li's eyes were shining, like a squirrel knocking melon seeds, nodding constantly, and the scene of his shoulder resisting the copper bell in his mind kept replaying, and the candlelight reflected in his pupils almost became heart-shaped.
"Generally average. ”
Evan feigned reserve, picked up a flute-shaped silver cup, his eyes were half-narrowed, and he took a shallow sip of the liquid in the cup.
Looking at the candle shadow in the cup that was curved like a thin snake, his slightly recovered mood sank again, and he could only force a happy face to cater to everyone, pretending that he was also happy.
Although he barely escaped the clutches of the evil female cousin, Evan was never in a good mood, after all, there were a group of people hiding in the shadows all day long trying to kill themselves. If he can't wipe out all these traitors, he won't be able to eat a single meal.
After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere was completely lively, everyone played a small game in groups, Ivan poured himself a drink for a while, after all, he couldn't bear the irritability in his heart, and came to Yasin's side and asked:
"Is there any news from Your Majesty?"
"After the queen blockaded Mirror Lake, she did catch a few traitors, but they all committed suicide by poisoning themselves in the first place, so they didn't get key information, so they ...... Things haven't progressed much. Yasin replied hesitantly.
"I'm afraid it's the remnants of Ozmandis!"
Ivan put down his glass, a chill in his voice.
“......”
Yasin's eyes flashed, and after recalling what had happened, he quickly came to a conclusion:
"Your Majesty, you are the assassin who blew himself up...... Inferred?"
As Ivan's bodyguard, he was on guard throughout the whole process, and he didn't drink at all during the banquet, so his brain is very sober at the moment, and he can keep up with the other party's train of thought even in a noisy environment.
"That's a good point. ”
Ivan nodded, recalling the assassin's movements, and narrowed his eyes keenly:
"That assassin's sword speed is very fast, he can even perform long-range strikes, and his movement speed is outstanding, and he is most likely the wielder of the Storm God Spell. In addition, he was able to infiltrate the temple silently, which I suspect has something to do with the people inside the temple, and this spearhead is also pointed at the Storm Temple. ”
"I'm sorry......"
Yasin's expression stiffened slightly, revealing a hint of uneasiness - theoretically, he and most of the people here, including Xia Li, belonged to the old department of Ozmandis, and it was really embarrassing to encounter such a thing.
"It's not about you!"
Ivan noticed the change in his expression, and soon knew that he had to narrow the striking surface, and immediately added:
"These people have the weapons of the invaders in their hands, I'm afraid it's not just Ozmandis's subordinates, you may also be their target, be sure to be safe. ”
"Thanks for the reminder. ”
Hearing this, his face suddenly improved a lot.
————————————
In the middle of the night, there was silence in the dark vestibule, and Evan lit a candlestick, and the light became brighter, illuminating the polished floor, and some lampposts made the shadows of the fire drag long, like black lines on the ground.
He walked up to the bronze mural and pressed his palm on the mural, and the dark energy belonging to the Demon Dao of the Underworld was slowly poured into it. In the next moment, as if the city had awakened at night, the murals began to light up layer by layer from the outside in, and made a dull sound.
After a while, the surface of the mural twisted and floated like a liquid, highlighting the outline of a jackal's head, and a pair of dark yellow eyes with vertical pupils slowly opened, looking down at the person in front of him:
"It's a pleasure to meet you, ally of the dead, I can feel the confusion in your heart, then...... What do you want from me today?"
"The Demon Dao of the Underworld has caused me a lot of trouble, and every time I study it, I will be exposed to some special aura...... As if from another dimension, these breaths could even substitute me into another dimension. ”
"If I'm not mistaken, you were standing here a few nights ago and saying the same thing. The temple god stared at him, and for a moment, his eyes became as narrow as reptiles, glowing with a cold light.
"But the answer you gave me was that I didn't know anything. ”
Evan picked up the candlestick, raised his head, and looked at the cold pupils: "The problem has changed now, tell me, are there any other cultivators in the Demon Dao of the Underworld, and what is the fate of each of them?"
"Other Trainees......"
The Guardian's eyes condensed slightly, and he made a thoughtful expression, and after a moment of silence:
"There are very few cultivators of the Holy Canon of the Underworld, and the Demon Dao of the Underworld is one of the outstanding, if there are other cultivators, I should be able to remember their names. It's a pity that it's a pity, in my memory, the only person who inherits the inheritance of the Demon Dao of the Underworld is you. ”
"Thank you for your answer, I'll change the question. ”
Ivan examined its eyes and continued to ask, "Is there no other inheritor, or is there no other inheritor who has achieved cultivation, please tell me a clear answer." ”
“......”
The Guardian's eyes flickered slightly, and he spat out heavy syllables:
"My answer is that there is no other lineage. ”
