Chapter 83: The Ancient House

Due to the fact that Turquoise Island is located between the Coral Islands where the Naga are entrenched and the wizarding continent dominated by humans, coupled with the recent good trade relations between humans and the Nagas, Turquoise Island has gradually developed into an island where Naga and humans are mixed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 InfoBecause of the abundance of turquoise, which is a relatively precious mineral resource, and the special geological structure leads to the abundance of hot spring resources, it attracts many nobles and merchants who come to pan for gold. Naturally, the arrival of these people also contributed to the prosperity of commerce on the island.

This can be seen from the Trident port where Kennan disembarked. Dozens of huge sailing ships are moored inside the harbor, and the market near the harbor is even more crowded. The shops lining the street are even more numerous, and the prosperity here is not in any way backward from that of Coolrum.

Although it was crowded with people, Kenan relied on the wizard's keen instincts to hang the old Naga priest from afar, and he didn't worry about anything that would happen to him. And there is still time to look at the goods in the shops on both sides.

While Kenan was wandering through the market, the old Naga priest led a few guards to turn left and right to the door of a relatively remote old mansion. After the old priest looked left and right to make sure that no one was following, he led a few guards into the mansion quietly.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Kenan's mouth showed a slight imperceptible smile, and he turned his head down and continued to pick and choose various materials that were not very common in the wizarding continent.

Lilith's hut doesn't have a secret shop on Turquoise Island, at least not on the surface. As for whether there are other institutions in the shadows, it is not for Kennan's level to know. But even if he knew, Kenan wouldn't have gone looking for them, after all, Kenan's trip was to avoid the eyes and ears of the academy and find an excuse for promotion.

Kennan was not looking for a place to stay. After changing into an ordinary outfit, he lingered in an ordinary tavern until late at night. Then he walked slowly towards the inn like many drunkards. Such people are everywhere in the port of Trident and are not at all conspicuous.

Kennan slowly slipped down a secluded alley and changed into an invisibility cloak. Although the Cloak of Invisibility was not very effective in Kenan's eyes at the moment, it was still enough to avoid ordinary people and wizard apprentices.

Kenan crept into the back street of the old mansion that the old priest had entered. After quietly checking it out, carefully avoiding detection spells and spell traps, he quietly came to the back door of the old mansion. Then he began to disassemble the lock on the door in earnest.

"Don't take everyone else for fools, if you want to rely on loopholes to get into a spellcaster's dwelling, then nine times out of ten you will be a huge trap. The best solution to this situation is to dismantle the mechanism from the front. Don't leave it to chance. This passage is from the writings of a wizard at Lilith's Cottage who specializes in infiltration. It is not known how much of the author's history of blood and tears is in this work.

Kenan was fortunate that the Naga priests were good at sacrificing and casting auxiliary buffs, and were also proficient in elemental magic, but not so good at building defensive locks. This is also related to their long-term social situation of tribal warfare. Since trading with humans, many Naga priests have purchased Terran wizards' locks directly. Even if some people will change the locked they bought, they won't make too many changes, at most they will adjust a few parameters. It just so happened that Kenan had a bit of a dabbling in this area, turning on the brain overclocking technique, Kenan carefully analyzed the role of each witchcraft circuit, and within ten minutes, a puzzle was completely removed by Kenan.

After cracking the lock, and cracking the physical mechanism behind the door, Kenan quietly infiltrated the interior of the ancient mansion.

The interior of the mansion is clearly decorated in the style of human aristocracy, and after entering the door is a spacious hall with small doors on both sides leading to the kitchen and dining room. Two spiral staircases lead upstairs. The intricate patterns on the handrails of the stairs and the murals in the hall show the wealth and luxury of the owner, but due to the lack of care, many places are covered with dust. It makes people sigh.

Kenan quietly stepped over a few screaming traps, stepped over the transparent silk thread tied to the stairwell, and dodged the detection props placed inside the vase. Finally, following the guidance of the wish pointer, I came to a room on the second floor.

Kenan put away the wish pointer, and now it was certain that the old Naga priest was in this room, and he just didn't know if the wraith was still there.

Kenan cautiously pushed the door open a gap and slowly peered into the room. The old Naga priest was found kneeling in front of a small altar, while the Naga warriors were lying on the ground, their blood drained, and their pale and shriveled bodies lying next to the altar.

The crimson blood crept up the groove above the altar as if it were alive, filling it with one strange rune after another. Just after the blood filled the last rune, the altar emitted an eerie red light. A crimson ruby at the top of the altar also radiated a dazzling brilliance, and the figure of an illusory human maiden appeared on the altar.

The girl was wearing a priest's moon-white robe, her jet-black hair hung naturally down to her waist, her two thin lips made a smiling arc, her small nose was very straight, and her dark eyes were like deep dry wells without a trace of color. If it weren't for the astonishing resentment that constantly emanated, no one would associate this delicate girl with a resentful spirit.

I saw the old priest shaking a string of shells in his hand slightly, and constantly chanting the prayers of the Naga tribe in his mouth, word by word, as if there was magic, which made people involuntarily immersed in it and couldn't extricate themselves.

However, the old Naga priest obviously underestimated the strength of this resentful spirit, and saw that the black qi on the resentful spirit's body was constantly churning, as if it were substance, constantly tearing at the red light that constantly wrapped it on the altar. The ribbons of red light condensed were like rags, constantly torn apart and discarded by the black qi of the resentful spirit girl.

Seeing that the resentful girl was about to break free from the altar, the old priest ruthlessly took out a small bottle made of crystal from his bosom. Remove the seal from the bottle and pour the liquid into your mouth. Suddenly, the old priest's thin body suddenly swelled, and his pale green skin was slightly blood-red. The old priest put down the shell rattle in his hand and took out a horn made of a conch from his waist. The old priest put the trumpet into his mouth and played it with all his might.

Despite the old priest's efforts, the conch horn did not make a sound. Just when Kenan was wondering, Kenan suddenly felt a slight tremor in his soul, as if there was a force that was constantly vibrating his soul and wanted to tear it apart.

"It turned out to be an attack on the soul, and it was the right way to deal with the spirit. Kennan guessed to himself. Fortunately, Kenan has been promoted to wizard at this time, and his soul has undergone the Styx training, and both the strength of his soul and his tenacity are stronger than before, I don't know how many times, and Kenan can withstand this level of attack.

Kennan had no problem on his side, but the old priest's actions angered the trapped Wraith Maiden. The girl's black pupils, which were originally as unfluctuating as an ancient well, slowly turned blood-red.
