Chapter 60: The Clue That Finally Appeared

"What happened?" Panda listened to Wang Tuhao's narration and couldn't help but ask, "What happened later?"

Wang Tuhao wanted to hang his appetite, first drank some water, ate something, and looked at the panda's eyes becoming more and more vicious, afraid that he would pick up the plate and smash his head in the next second, so he coughed twice and continued.

So Sleepless gathered some materials, upgraded the life ring, and asked the innkeeper to give it to Mario after we left Loca. ”

Panda nodded: "That's a good idea." So why did you hang back again?"

"I'm not worth mentioning. Wang Tuhao didn't care about his death at all, shook his head and said, "We went to the ruins of Old Luoka Town to look for clues, searched, searched, and finally found clues, so I hung up." ”

"Don't give me the intermediate process!"

Wang Tuhao laughed twice and told him the detailed process.

While Sleepless is trying to alter the ring, the other travelers come to the ruins of Old Loka to look for possible clues to the "Erika the Fraudster".

They are not comparable to ordinary waste pickers, both in terms of number and eyesight, far more than those ordinary people. What's more, there is more than one person in their team who has special skills that ordinary adventurers can't have.

So by the time they searched for the second day, they finally found a clue.

It was a secret room hidden under the square that was supposed to belong to the center of the town, and judging from the layout of the secret room, it should not have existed back then, but was built afterwards. There is an altar inside the secret room, and judging from the blood stains on the altar, the last sacrifice should have been about a year ago.

There is no doubt that this chamber must have been built by "Erica the Fraudster". She built this chamber in the place where her family had fallen, placed the altar, and performed sacrifices.

Theologians among the time-travelers tried to decipher the content of the sacrifice by relying on various clues in the secret chamber and on the altar. It took them about a day to find out.

The answer was surprisingly simple – the sacrifice was originally just a ritual of sacrifice and requiem.

But...... The problem lies in the "original".

Erica's heart was filled with resentment, and her people were also resentful when they were killed. What happens when a resentful person holds a requiem memorial for someone who is also resentful?

Judging by the traces on the altar, this sacrifice failed. Instead of being able to bring resentful souls to rest, it attracted the attention of some demon in hell.

It is here that Erica should have signed a contract with the demon and gained youth and the power of revenge.

"Wait, Youth?" asked the panda in surprise, "What's the matter with Youth?"

"They found a lot of human skin debris in the secret room, and the strange thing is that these debris obviously belonged to the same person, but the degree of aging was completely different. Wang Tuhao said, "There are more detritus, belonging to an old man, it should be the kind of person who is so old that his teeth have fallen out, and he has to take two breaths after walking a few steps, and he is not far from death." ”

"Erica is really old, and of course this crumb is hers. Sanyu, who was sitting next to him, said.

He thought for a moment and asked, "But ...... The other skin debris belongs to a young man?"

"That's right, and a small amount of skin debris, belonging to a young man, very young, no more than twenty years old. Wang Tuhao nodded repeatedly, "Combined with the residual demonic power on the altar, theological experts judged that it was the demon that made the aging Erica regain her youth, which gave her the strength to take revenge on the enemy." ”

"Demons don't give strength in vain. Panda, who is also a theologian, immediately said, "If you want to get their power, you will have to pay a big price." ”

"That's right, so there's a lot of blood on the altar, more than you can imagine. After research, it was determined that there were two people's blood in it. One of them, and the owner of the skin crumbs is the same person. ”

"Erica grabbed a sacrifice, and then she used herself as a sacrifice again?" Panda frowned, "In that case, she won't live long." ”

"Yes, but that would give her the most freedom from being bound by demons. ”

The panda checked his theological knowledge and nodded slightly.

In this world, the people who know the devil best are the priests. As a priest, and a priest with a very high level of skill, Panda's "theological knowledge" contains a lot of information about demons, so much that he can publish several specialized works.

According to the information provided by the skill, as long as the person who signs a contract with the demon is willing to offer his life as a sacrifice in advance, then the demon will not have any restraint on his behavior in the future, but will give full support - because he has fulfilled the contract in advance, and now his life already belongs to the demon, as long as the demon is willing, he can end his false life at any time, and then directly collect the soul, without worrying that he has any possibility of trying to escape the contract.

Of course, for such contractors, demons will generally give strong support and let them do whatever they want.

Demons expect the world to become chaotic and evil, and a person who gives his life and soul directly for a certain goal, as long as he is given enough support, will of course go crazy.

In that case, then why not support him?

Through this method, the fraudster Erica has gained a lot of support from the devil. Then she left the chamber and never returned.

The traversers judged that she should have gone to the vicinity of the city of Tara Khan and established the manor stronghold.

It took her about a year to set up that organization. Considering the need to keep it private, this efficiency isn't slow. The support of the devil can be said to have contributed greatly.

If all goes well, it won't be long before she begins to carry out her plans to disrupt and disrupt order in the city of Tara Khan, while secretly spreading the plague.

But the panda's "heavenly punishment" made all her previous preparations go down the drain. Now she has either died in the curse, or she is hiding somewhere silently regaining her strength and preparing for the next trouble.

In her opinion, time is probably on her side.

However, in the eyes of the traversers, the same is true.

"After talking for a long time, you haven't said why you hang up. Sanyu heard Wang Tuhao almost finish the whole thing, and couldn't help but remind him, "At least talk about it." ”

"What else could it be?" Wang Tuhao squinted at him, "The clue has been found, and I am tired of taking risks, of course I will hang back and continue to live a stable life." People always have to settle down for a while before they want to go out and have an adventure again. ”

"Huh?!"

Panda and Sanyu looked at each other, and they couldn't have imagined that he would return to the city for this reason......
