Chapter 500: The Expulsion Ceremony
Marcos found Carl and Camille at the Dragon Inn and informed them of the current situation. He did this for two purposes, the first was to ask for their opinions, and the second was to ask them if they had found some interesting news. Although it was known that the fog was caused by the fog demon Helim, the lack of an effective solution forced Carl to convince Marcos to think again.
After all, this time it's not a goblin or a minotaur who can be done with just a single swing of a knife, a disembodied guy, and even if you draw out the opponent's illusion, you can't physically destroy the opponent. There were so many restrictions that Marcos now regretted why there wasn't a single mage with him, and the only two mages in the guild were in the northern snowy region with the cold winds.
Although Camilli could try to solve this problem with her mental energy, without knowing where Helim would suck the remnants next, the expected duel would not happen at all. And just when the three of them were at a loss, Fit's arrival undoubtedly brought them better news.
To be honest, Marcos wasn't surprised that Fett met Anna, because from any point of view, Anna and Komka's Alchemist Guild had an agreement, or more accurately, a commission. The fog is also a headache for the Alchemists' Guild, there's no doubt about it. So long before the tower manager posted the commission, the Alchemist Guild used its resources to find someone willing to solve this trouble, that is, Anna. Marcos believed that such speculation was justified, but there was no point in speculating now, and he had to find a way to expel Helim as Anna relayed by Fett.
"Didn't she mention any more details?" Marcos asked.
Fett shook her head, "She said she would only share information about the fog with me, and she didn't promise me that I would tell me a solution, she didn't want her bounty to be robbed." As you know, clients are usually results-oriented, and whoever solves the problem first is paid. ”
"Ousting Helim, no matter how it sounds, it's hard to do that. Marcos sat on the bed, clutching his aching head.
"Does this creature have any special rules of movement?" asked Kamili.
"Yes, to be exact, it wanders from place to place looking for new remnants to suck on, which means that there must be a creature that died by accident in the area where it appears. Marcos replied.
"Well, it's too difficult, and there's no way we're really going to kill someone who doesn't know just to lure out Helim. Karl said.
"If only we could know one of the steps in the way to expel Helim, then at least let me guess the whole process. Marcos said annoyedly.
"If you really can't, give up that reward, after all, we are not short of money now. This matter will be left to Anna and the Alchemist Guild to settle the matter, and we will only need to wait until the fog clears and we will head to Mount Afaria. "Fett gave the best way to do it at the moment.
Carl nodded in agreement. She's right, we'd better not risk getting involved in this matter without a solution. ”
Marcos let out a long sigh, "It seems that I can only be a trustworthy adventurer once, and I am not going to run to the tower keeper to ask for payment after they have settled the commission." ”
"We all know you wouldn't do that. Karl said.
Things have never gone smoothly, and this time was no exception. Perhaps Fett was right, and for at least two days, Marcos was relieved like never before. And Anna and the Alchemist Guild are also well underway, and they seem to be ready to expel Helim. When the Alchemists' Guild decided to carry out a ritual in Komka's small square, Marcos guessed that it was the way to expel Helim.
They brought in a middle-aged magician who lived in the jungles east of Komka, and hoped he would be able to preside over the entire expulsion ceremony. In any case, he agreed, much to the relief of the members of the Alchemist Guild, who did not dare to guarantee that there would be any hellish situation during the ceremony.
Looking out of the inn window into the small square, the guys inside could see a chalk-drawn formation that resembled a spider's web, which looked unruly, but perhaps this was the way to expel Helim. After all, you can't look at a disembodied creature from the perspective of a human being, not to mention that if the ordinary and common six-pointed star magic array can work on Xilim, they won't have to go through so much trouble.
The unlit candle was placed in three circles, with a head in the center of the spider array. What is certain is that it is not a human head or the head of some kind of fowl, but the head of a living being. Seeing this, Marcos couldn't help but whistle in a joke, "Interesting, where did they get the griffon's head?"
"Griffon, you said the head in the center of the formation is the griffon's head?" Fett asked with interest.
Marcos nodded, "I hunted a griffon, so I won't be mistaken." But I remember how they got their hands on griffons from this place, and how they got their hands on griffons from this place, and they were only found in the hills south of Amiens and in the hills south of Delos?"
"Well, it's possible that the griffon's head was provided by Anna. Fett guessed.
"Perhaps, but I'd love to see what they're going to do. You know what? This scene reminds me of the necromancy of the Dark Elves. Marcos whispered, as if deliberately creating an atmosphere of terror. Unfortunately, it was daytime, and although there was a thick fog, it was not so dark that you couldn't see your fingers.
Fett glanced at him, "Necromancy?
"I've just seen it in a certain book, and reading more books is not a bad thing after all. Marcos laughed. "Necromancy can communicate with the dead, and I wonder if they want to use it as a way to eliminate the remnants of Helim's sucking. Of course, it's more likely that they'll summon aggressive spirits, and then things will be much worse. But correspondingly, as long as it can destroy those souls, it can reduce Hilim's power, and eventually he has to leave here in order to preserve his power. ”
"It looks like you've made a perfect reasoning, but what the actual situation will have to wait until tonight. Fit said disdainfully.
"yes, let's wait and see. ”
