Chapter 231: The Eve
Infernal Boundary,
Divine Guard Headquarters Camp,
A high-level confidential conference room,
Unlike the concrete masonry structure of the usual camp rooms, this room is made of heavy stone, and the walls are painted with various luminescent runic symbols. On the center wall hangs an old map of the world, with different color blocks representing different distributions of power.
The area belonging to the Eastern Continent seems to have just been updated, and the few areas that originally had vampire icons have been removed, leaving only a faint light gray trace. That represents the vampires of the Eastern Continent are no longer a threat.
On the side of the west coast near the English Channel, a bright red flag is planted next to the vampire icon, indicating that there is a war going on there, or something important that needs attention.
If there is an expert in this confidential conference room at this moment, he will tell you that under the influence of runes, all forms of magic are forbidden in this room, and all possibility of eavesdropping or prying eyes is also blocked. The walls were also covered with protective spells, which could withstand the earth-shattering blows of the combined forces of the ten archmages.
In the center of the room was a long bronze wooden table with several old-fashioned candle holders, and the breath of a dozen members of the elite group of the Divine Guard stirred the thick air in the airtight secret room.
The fire shadow on the candlestick danced, making the faces of these important Divine Guard generals also cloudy.
"Isn't the most important thing now to figure out who brought Pandora's Box to the human world?" a strong female voice said, "Sitting here and guessing won't solve anything." In my opinion, it is time to go directly to the Golden Pterodactyl and ask them to hand over the original trader. The woman who spoke had beautiful features, but her eyes were unusually sharp, and two leather sword straps crossed in front of her, held in place by an iron-black medallion. There are no swords on the sword belt at the moment, as no weapons are allowed in this room.
"After all, the Golden Wing Dragon is the person in charge of the Demon Source, and we have been at odds with them before, so it is not appropriate to go directly to negotiate with them like this. Another dissenting voice said. It was an old man with gray hair, who was wearing the dark tunic that the elderly often wear, and the cuffs were worn white. The backs of his hands were already covered with wrinkles and dark age spots, but his fingers were steady and strong. As he groaned, he tapped the table with his knuckles, and a relatively young general sitting next to him stared at his fingers with a look of awe in awe.
"I don't think it's appropriate to sit here and talk about it over and over again. We're in dire need of manpower right now, the witches have been battered before, and now is the time to get rid of them once and for all, and we're here arguing over this box that we don't know if it's true or not......"
The candle flame on the table shook suddenly, like a small whirlwind suddenly rising in the room.
Hunter, who sat at the top, crossed his hands in his unkempt beard, glanced at the figure leaning against the corner.
The man was wearing a cowboy hat with the brim pressed deeply, barely making a presence. His whole body was hidden in the shadow of the light, and although he couldn't see his appearance clearly, it was obvious that half of his chin was in the shape of a broken crescent.
Shou Hunt said slowly: "Since the dentist has stolen the box and sent it to the headquarters of the Divine Guard Army in the Eastern Continent, please help seal it." There is no possibility that this box is fake, in this case, everyone will not say it again in the future. ”
"I'm not questioning the authenticity of the box that the dentist stole from him, I'm talking about the legend of Pandora's box, about what the hell is in that box......" The general of the Divine Guard who questioned just now was a middle-aged fat man with a slight haircut, and he had a visible scar on his face from top to bottom, almost blind. The scar was apparently magical, as only magically inflicted trauma would leave a permanent scar.
Shou Hunt pondered for a moment, and he took out a package wrapped in a black cloth towel from the inner pocket of his jacket, and opened it, revealing the charred right hand inside.
The Hunter placed the inky jade-like hand bone next to the pitch-black magic box, stepped back, leaned back in the chair and looked at it: "And this right hand, why is this right hand so important to the witches, that they did not hesitate to attack the exchange of the golden winged dragon?" This right hand and this magic box appeared almost at the same time, is there any connection between the two?"
Several high-ranking generals in the room all showed puzzled expressions.
At this time, the woman with the sword belt on her back said: "No matter what, since the witches want it, the more we can't give it to them, and I think it is better to completely destroy this right hand, so as to save the trouble in the future." ”
Mori frowned, but still hadn't answered. At this moment, at the entrance of the conference room, a rune suddenly lit up. Then the heavy stone door was pushed open, and Ji Lin, who was wearing glasses, hurriedly walked in: "Master, uncles, it's not good, there is a powerful force that is breaking through the barriers of the Demon Realm. ”
"How powerful is it?" asked the woman with the sword belt on her back.
"It's so powerful that even Lucifer can't compare to him. Ji Lin replied with a pale face.

"Well, come to my sister, my sister won't hurt you. Gui Xiaoqian said gently.
Jiajia shrank back into the corner of the wall, and among the pieces of furniture on the side, Xu Zhe was lying covered in blood, the glasses on his face were broken, and he couldn't tell whether he was alive or dead.
"Mommy will kill you. Jiajia hugged her doll tightly and muttered.
"Mom, you mean Team Leader Xia, right? She can't kill me, no one can kill me. Gui Xiaoqian chuckled, she slowly pushed away the chair that was blocking the way, and said in a tired voice, "Come here, don't make me angry, it's not easy for me to come all the way." ”
Gui Xiaoqian's clothes looked a little ragged, the white cashmere coat was no longer visible, and her long black hair had been knotted and knotted, and there were dark red lumps on it that I don't know what they were.
Jiajia buried her face in her knees: "No, you are a bad person. ”
"I'm not a bad person, you little fool. Gui Xiaoqian finally came to the little girl, she took the girl's shoulders and lifted her up, like a doll.
Jiajia struggled in panic, and her rag doll fell from her arms and fell on a piece of wood.
"Where is the artifact?" Gui Xiaoqian stared at Jiajia, "Tell me, where did you hide the artifact?"
"What artifact? let go of me, my mother is very powerful, she will definitely kill you!" Jiajia struggled with kicks and kicks on her feet.
Gui Xiaoqian's eyes suddenly lit up like two green fluorites at that moment, and she looked at Jiajia from top to bottom, as if she was scanning Jiajia's body with something intangible.
"Strange ......," she muttered, "without any ornaments, and with a clean body......
