Chapter 475: Deep Hallucination
Isai Hayvog disappeared, and fortunately, he did not die in his bedroom as a corpse like the manor guards. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info White was convinced that his father was still alive, but he couldn't think of anyone who would raid their estate at such a time.
"Lilith, is the blackbird outside the window related to the Chaos Sect?" White asked in a deep voice, the Chaos Sect that came and went without a trace was probably the only force that met these conditions.
"Possibly. Lilith hesitated, then replied uncertainly. At least in the traditional war records, the claws of the Chaos Cult were not involved in the war between the two countries, and if she had been in the past, she would never hesitate to tell White that this had nothing to do with the Chaos Cult, but what was happening in the kingdom of Tarun now made Lilith feel that everything had to do with Chaos.
The ghost eagle, which had disappeared for ten years, also reappeared in the world with the arrival of the Chaos Sect.
"Let's go, let's go to the front!" White said immediately.
He had to follow the trail if there was any possibility, and when they arrived, they heard from the casualties that the market area was now occupied by the Chaos cultists. As long as he went to the front, he had a chance to learn clues about his father.
"Wait a minute! I seem to have found a feeling!" Richard was still immersed in the world of illusions, and in his eyes, he was surrounded not by a bloodstained bedroom, but by the confessional on the second floor of the church, and at the entrance of the confessional were two bones that had not only dried for a long time, and there were two bookshelves beside him, but there was only one book on the shelf.
He had seen a similar confessional in the imperial capital, and to the west of the church headquarters, there was a "holy place" that only nobles and wealthy merchants were allowed to enter, and the "holy place" contained a confessional room, in which the church advertised that those who confessed their sins would be forgiven by the saints and receive the salvation of their souls.
Richard thinks there must be something mysterious about this book.
There are bookshelves in real-world bedrooms, but in the eyes of Lilith and White, Richard's behavior is still strange - he dismantles the delicate relief on one side of the bookshelf and holds it in the palm of his hand as if he were holding a sword. Not only was he not ashamed of his sabotage, but he said to the two of them seriously: "I have torches, you follow me!"
"We've got to get him back to his senses!" White tried to force Richard down, contemplating something like dousing him with a scoop of cold water. With Richard's current appearance, let alone helping on the front line, it would be good if he didn't injure his own people by mistake. Before White was about to make his inner calculations, Lilith stopped him.
Richard's behavior at the moment is strange, but he has a strong sense of purpose.
He took out an ancient book with a red cover from the vast number of biographies, and showed an expression of "sure enough". In Richard's world, when he takes out the only book on the shelf, the floor of the confessional suddenly shook, and a small crack opened in the wall of the window, revealing a button-like device.
After pressing the button, a secret door suddenly appeared on the west side of the confessional room.
In the real world, Richard pushed aside the cluttered table top and found a hidden mechanism underneath a book, and when pressed, the large bed in the bedroom split to the sides, revealing a hallway leading below. Beneath the hallway burned a faint light of torchlight.
"Sure enough, this is the way to the sea of stars!" said Richard, who was overjoyed, for in his eyes, there were many stars behind the secret doors, and the clear starry sky seemed to be reflected in the hallway.
Hell yes!
White had lived in the manor for so many years, and had never discovered such a hidden passage. Although he felt that Richard was mostly crooked, the illusion caused by the ghost eagle played a decisive role.
"Come on, the torches are about to go out!" Richard urged, holding the broken dragon head relief earnestly.
The hidden corridor was not long, but it was very steep, and White estimated that the three of them had come to the basement level of the manor, the structure of the basement level was not complicated, and at the end of the corridor, there was a small room. As soon as they came down, they saw Isai Haworg with his back to them.
There was a rudimentary table beside Isai, and the glass on it was filled with a viscous red liquid. He showed no signs of injury, but instead seemed to be in a good mood, using a small brush to smear the sticky blood from the bottle on the wall. Wherever the brush passed, a faint pentagram pattern was outlined.
"Kid, you're here. Isai said, "I was wondering when you would be here." ”
"You...... What are you doing?" The faint fishy smell that filled the air made White vaguely guess what the viscous liquid in the bottle was, and he suddenly felt that the pentagram on the wall was more like an ancient and evil magic circle. He felt that his father was very different from before, that Essai had been a very picky cleanliness patient, and that he had been very strict with his maids, and that he would never have been able to brush the walls with a bloodstained brush in such a small room.
"Good question!"
In his busy time, Isai did not forget to answer him: "I am performing a great ceremony. ”
"Be careful!" Before White could reply, Richard was the first to attack, and he suddenly threw the relief in his hand at Isai, and as the latter dodged, the ring between his fingers lit up, and the cyan sword was formed, and it slashed down at Issai's right hand that had smeared the wall.
As soon as White was about to intervene to stop Richard's reckless behavior, something unexpected happened - Isai, who did not know a little swordsmanship, dodged Richard's attack as if he had long eyes in his back, he tripped Richard to the ground with a leg sweep, and took out the dagger from his waist with a backward strike, and when the two reacted, the dagger had already pierced into Richard's palm and pinned the other's ringed hand to the ground.
The cyan sword then extinguished.
Isai's dazzling counterattack was like that of a master swordsman, and after subduing Richard, he made a silent gesture: "Don't worry, it's not your turn yet...... However, it's also coming soon. ”
Lilith drew her sword alertly and asked, "Richard, what do you see?"
She didn't think that the crows outside the manor, the corpses in the bedroom, and the hallucinations of Richard were all coincidences, and that Richard was able to find it through the illusions, which perhaps meant that the hallucinations inflicted on him by the Eagle also gave him the side effect of seeing the real situation.
"A pot. Richard looked up, gasped, and said—he had only seen a rough idea of what he could see now: "There are two skeletons in armor boiling in the pot." ”
Essai stepped on Richard's arm with the other, immobilizing him, and then he picked up the glass bottle, bent down, and carefully picked up Richard's bleeding blood.
"It can't be wasted, it's all fresh blood!"
