Chapter 145: The Root Cause

Unlike egrets they imagined. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info in the sanctuary of the high-level of the Blood Sacrifice Cultists, there were no terrible or terrifying facilities, or the stumps and broken arms left over from the Blood Sacrifice. It's clean and tidy, and it's furnished like an upscale clubhouse.

Not only after entering the door, but there is also a small indoor fountain in the center, and various sculptures stand around it. These sculptures are all famous figures in the history of Shenghui, and the entire building also depicts the famous history of the establishment of the Holy See. From the earliest prophetic missions, all the way to the establishment of empires. It's historic.

"If you didn't know in advance, you wouldn't have been able to tell that this would be the place of the Blood Sacrifice Cultists. It's like a devout chapel of the Holy Radiance. Fiona looked at it in amazement and said with emotion.

"If it weren't for the disguise, I'm afraid the Blood Sacrifice cultists would have been found and cleaned up long ago. The ancient capital is their base camp, how can it be a mess. Bai Lu said, "Speaking of which, is that high priest also a native of Shenghui?"

"No, haven't seen this guy. Marianne shook her head, "I've never seen this man since I was raised in the Capital of Splendour. ”

It seems that as the mysterious woman said, the earliest Blood Sacrifice Cultists of Shenghui really came from other countries. As for why it is said to be Ambra's people, the egret has not yet determined this.

The group continued on their way, looking at a dozen or so houses, but finding nothing. These are the places where the older bishops live, and they are usually more modest, with few furniture or facilities other than beds.

It wasn't until they came to a large study that they noticed the difference.

The study is a two-storey room that resembles a small library. All the shelves above and below are filled with books. Egret casually picked up a book on the desk and looked at the title.

"In-depth analysis of life energy. "There are some unfathomable books here, about the characteristics of life energy and bloodline. These Blood Sacrifice Cultists are unexpectedly fond of learning. ”

"Something like a blood sacrifice is not a simple act of brutality in itself. Without a certain amount of knowledge, it cannot be controlled. Fiona said what Doni had said, "If it were so easy to absorb the life energy of others and transfer it to oneself, this organization would be able to dominate the world." ”

Egret disagreed, and handed Fiona the disc he had taken from the High Priest, "Don't talk too much. Just now, the high priest used this thing to suck up the life energy of several people. In my opinion, it's very simple. ”

Fiona took it curiously, looked at it carefully for a while, and said with some ambiguity: "This thing, it seems to be an ancient magic channel? Wow, the material inside is an extremely rare soul crystal! It's the first time I've seen such a large piece of soul crystal!"

"Wait, there seems to be some stripe carved on this one. Fiona exclaimed, "But it's a bit profound, and you have to check the ancient rune data to know what it is." ”

Fiona, who is in a state of research frenzy, you can't take her away, but fortunately, this place itself is a study, and Fiona is babbling to find information and study the disc. The egrets were left in a group to continue their exploration.

Illion walked over to the desk and spoke uncertainly. "Brother Egret, take a look at this, it seems to be some kind of mechanism?"

The egret leaned over curiously, on the right side of the desk, there was a button that was not very deeply hidden, and the egret, who was familiar with the arrangement of traps, naturally had also learned some simple mechanisms. If nothing else, this should be a hidden room entrance button.

"It seems that there is also a private secret room. The egret reached out and pressed down. I heard a noise behind me, and a bookshelf shrank inward, revealing a downward staircase.

The group looked at each other and walked down.

At the end of this staircase, there is a small room of only a dozen square meters, and in it is a separate table with some notebooks and a heavy book.

What is written in the book is a study on the fitness of blood extraction and transfer. The egret curiously stretched out his hand to open it, only to find that it was full of esoteric proper nouns, many of which were written in the lingua franca of ancient humans.

"I guess this is the fundamental study of the Blood Sacrifice. The egret sighed, he knew the words, but when they were combined, he didn't know what they meant.

In addition, there are several notebooks, which Egret also opened casually, and inside are diaries recorded in ancient languages, which can be understood. But it wasn't what the Egret wanted, there was information about the members of the Blood Sacrifice cultists or lists or stuff like that.

"These are all research accounts. Egret was a little frustrated, "Don't these guys have a personnel management charter? It's so well hidden, there should always be a set of management plans!"

"These are very old. Nina tilted her head and said, "You said that in this era, Ambra's knight information management uses the crystal intelligent system. Could it be that the Blood Sacrifice Cultists have also adopted an intelligent way to register the information of personnel?"

Everyone who said this was stunned and looked at Nina blankly.

"We're so stupid!" Egret sighed violently, now is the era of intelligence when magic devices are used aggressively, but he still runs to read some books. It's completely different! Even if it's a Blood Sacrifice Cultist, it doesn't mean that people are old and dull! If you have convenient equipment, why do you need to use paper and written records?

But Nina thought about this aspect quietly, and everyone else was still stuck in inertial thinking.

Several people left the secret room one after another, and the egret thought about it, but he put up several diaries on the desk, this thing should have been written a long time ago, at least for nearly 50 years. It should be the research records of the Blood Sacrifice Cultists or something, maybe it will be of some help to crack the Blood Sacrifice Ritual.

Even if the base camp of the Blood Sacrifice Cultists is destroyed, and the knowledge of this Blood Sacrifice Ritual is still there, it is inevitable that some people will continue to pursue and study it. No matter what world you are, there is no shortage of desires for increased longevity and strength.

If the Blood Sacrifice Ritual can be cracked at the root, there may be a corresponding way to deal with it, so that the Blood Sacrifice Ritual cannot be carried out, and in this way, the Blood Sacrifice Cultists will not be able to continue to exist.

Nina's idea was correct.

On the recording equipment in the sanctuary, a large amount of personnel information was indeed recorded in the form of coded text. The records of these ciphers were not complicated, and Fiona worked on the terminal for more than an hour before cracking all the personnel information. Looking at the list of nearly thousands of people, Illian and Marianne were shocked.

"This information is too important!" Illion said solemnly, "I beg your pardon for having to rush to the Central Curia now, this information must be brought to the Pope as soon as possible, and in the days to come, I am afraid that the Holy Radiance will not be peaceful for a while." ”

Everyone nodded in understanding, "In this way, the mission of the Ambra Knights is complete." After that, it's the internal affairs of the Holy Radiance, and we will be returning to Ambra in the near future. The egret said to Illion. "If we need any help, we're still going to do our best. As long as you speak, Ilian. ”

"Thank you!" Illian looked at Egret and Nina with some emotion, "If there is a need, I will definitely speak." Brother Egret, Sister Nina, I will always remember the cleanup of the Blood Sacrifice Cultists and the assistance of the Ambra Empire. ”

Egret smiled and patted Illian on the shoulder. This is the time to separate, and what should be done has been done. In this cleanup of the Blood Sacrifice Cultists, the egret was the one who gained the most. Not only has his ability improved, but he has comprehended the Moon-by-Moon Sword Technique, and he has also obtained the second piece of the Miracle Treasure Jade, the Puzzle Heart Jade. Although this treasure jade is not an item needed for the Egret mission, it is at least a valuable strategic item.

In addition, a very precious disc has been obtained, Fiona is studying the principle of this thing, perhaps, this is the prototype of all the principles of blood sacrifice, after all, the function of this thing is countless times easier than any tedious blood sacrifice ritual.

After separating from Illian and Marianne. Egret and others also got on the train back to the border city. In the stateroom, Fiona watched the news and suddenly shouted.

"Wow, you're in big trouble now, Egret!" Fiona began to read as she picked up the tablet-like terminal in a serious manner.

"The guardian knight abducted Her Royal Highness the princess to go out, is it elopement? is it abduction?

A mouthful of water squirted out of the egret's mouth, coughing so much that tears were about to flow. "What boring report is such nonsense! Lao Tzu is going to let the Knights ban them when he goes back!"

"Well, there are at least a dozen newspapers here that have quoted this content, which one are you going to ban? Anyway, looking at this situation, the incident of Nina's private trip has already happened in Ambra. As the main person responsible, you should hurry up and think of your words!" Fiona laughed with some schadenfreude.

"I'm going back soon, and I'll explain to the media when I get to Ambra. Nina calmly took a sip of juice and said silently.

The egret's eyes turned, and he suddenly threw out a ring and put it on the coffee table in front of him.

This time it was Nina's turn and Fiona were dumbfounded, and Fiona said narrowly, "Ouch, is this a marriage proposal? But this ring is also a bit too ugly, and it is inlaid with a stone! Are you going to use this to propose to our beautiful Highness Nina?

As soon as she said this, Nina's face turned red. The way your mouth wants to say something but doesn't know what to say is so cute.

Egret patted his head, "I said, you can only think of this aspect? Don't look at this thing as inconspicuous, as long as Nina takes it out and explains, this private trip will be solved." ”

"What do you mean?" and both Nina and Fiona were curious.

"The stone inlaid in this ring is one of the miracle jewels, the Puzzle Jewel!" (To be continued.) )
