When she opened her eyes and saw the damp and stubble ceiling, Aluka knew she was back in the Overworld. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info As with the last return, it was night between the ends, and the morning light had passed when it returned.

"It's iron-hearted to keep people from sleeping......" Aruka grumbled, sitting up straight. He didn't leave the room in a hurry to find Xinong, but used the [Storage] to open his personal space and take out a stone the size of a baby's fist from it.

This...... Nature is no ordinary stone.

In terms of shape, it resembles the pebbles commonly found on the riverside, with a streamlined smooth surface formed by the impact of the water over time. But...... Its epidermis is transparent. Through the epidermis, you can see a colorful flame in the center of the stone, which beats and jumps like a heart, changing color with each beat.

The Ring of the Punishment God does not have the ability to identify this stone, but Alucca knows that it is called the Boundary Stone.

In the Sun Prison, Glenn the Frog gives Alucca the Nightmare of the Oil Painter and the Boundary Stone. The deal between them was that Glenn the Frog would help Alucca kill the Riot King, and that Aruka would take the Boundary Stone to do something in the Overworld......

"When you encounter two great bursts of energy coming together...... "Frog Glenn said, "throw the Boundary Stone into it." ”

Aluca didn't know what the result would be, and he didn't know what could be considered "two huge energies coming together...... But he was curious. And if he wants to kill the Riot King, he can only accept the deal.

According to the information he obtained, the secretary should be on the side of the gods, the king of riot belongs to the side of the old gods, and Glenn the frog is a third party...... A subordinate of Ainos. Once the Boundary Stone is in effect, Aluka will be able to deduce some things about Ainos from it. The mysteries related to "Ainos" and "Enoch" had been in Aluca's mind for too long, and he was willing to solve them at all costs.

Putting away the [Boundary Stone], Aluka planned to get up and go to Xinon to get back on the road to deliver the military information.

Right now......

Heaven and earth "shook".

This is by no means an earthquake, Aruka is very sure. He has experienced earthquakes, either upside down or left and right, but this "earthquake" is from the inside out. Aluca felt every hair, every inch of skin, and even every cell of her body shake. Not only that, but even the air, the sun, and the summer breeze shook the invisible and untouchable things. It was as if the universe he was in was frozen, and he shivered and sneezed.

The mutation isn't over yet.

After the heavens and the earth shook, the things in front of Aluca's eyes suddenly became ghosted. There are three types of ghosting, the middle one is the entity seen under normal vision, the one on the left is black and blurry, like the shadow of the sun, and the image on the right emits a grand and dazzling white light, which makes it difficult to look at directly.

In the next second, the triple image rapidly began to replicate itself, becoming a thousand weights, and Aluka suddenly felt dizzy. It's like looking at a painting full of intricate patterns and dazzling colors, and the brain is overwhelmed as it tries to process the information it receives.

When I opened my eyes again, all the visions I had had had had never seen before, as if they had never happened. Without hesitation, Arouca ran out of the room, came to another room, and knocked on Xinon's door.

"Brother Sinon!" shouted Aluca, "are you up!"

After a few moments, Xinon opened the door and came out, his eyes red and his look tired.

Seeing his appearance, Aluka knew that he was not the only one who felt the vision, and asked directly, "Do you feel unwell in your body?"

"You also see hallucinations?" said Xinon as he rubbed his aching brow and said intermittently, "My head still hurts...... Just now...... It was as if there were countless images in front of my eyes at the same time...... But other than that, the hallucinations didn't do me any other harm......"

"My head doesn't hurt...... This may have something to do with intelligence. According to Aluca, intelligence is an attribute that refers to the degree to which the brains of the gods are developed, and people with developed brains will naturally process information faster, higher, and stronger. Xinong's brain is like a low-spec computer, and if you use it to run a game with extremely high requirements, the result will naturally overheat and crash. The higher the configuration of Aluca, it will be fine.

Xinon paused for a few seconds and asked, "Do you know what's going on?" Could it be just us...... Such a person sees a hallucination?" he was referring to the God Puncher.

Arouca shook her head, "I don't know what's going on, but I'm skeptical if it's a hallucination." Although it is possible to have a group hallucination, it is too low for two people in two rooms to see the same hallucination, and the same environment and experience is one of the conditions that trigger the group hallucination...... Unless there is a magician who is good at illusion plotting against us...... It doesn't make sense because we didn't get hurt. ”

As he spoke, the innkeepers opened the doors and entered the hallway. Wailing, cursing, and crying were incessant, and some people fell to the ground when they went out, rolling on the ground with their heads in their hands. The herald also appeared in the hallway, snapped his finger at the sight of Aluca, and then fainted outright. The Taoyuan Township killer trio is much stronger, but their faces are slightly pale.

Alexander, the old butler, came to Aluca's side and asked, "Young Master...... Are you alright? Looks like everyone in this inn is hallucinating......"

Aluca shook his head and said, "The question now is not whether I am okay or not, but what is going on." I don't believe that the entire inn is hallucinating at the same time...... There's definitely something wrong here......"

Wood, who never took care of his beard, said, "Not the whole innkeeper is hallucinating......"

"Oh?" asked Aluca, puzzled, "Is there anyone else who hasn't seen it?"

"No......," Wood looked extremely ugly, "I mean...... I'm afraid it's not just people at this inn who are hallucinating. Before I went out, I looked out the window and noticed that there were many people on the street who had fallen to the ground......"

"Could it be that multiple magicians have launched a large-scale hallucinatory attack on the entire village?" Aruka muttered, "It makes sense if the target is ordinary people, judging from the current situation, hallucinations still have a certain amount of harm to ordinary people, but for me and Xinong...... Wait......"

Aluka suddenly realized, how could the Taoyuan Township trio be like no one else? He and Xinon were both knight-level gods, and their physical fitness was about ten times that of ordinary people, and these three people would never ......

After listening to Aluca's words, Alexander was also stunned for a moment and asked, "Young master...... Why do you think it's a magician? There are no magicians on this continent for a long time. ”

The bald White also nodded beside him and said, "Yes, we were killed by our predecessors six hundred years ago. ”

"Wait......" Aluka gestured with a "stop" gesture, "what the hell are you heresies for?

Wood and White looked at Alexander, who thought for a moment and asked rhetorically, "I heard...... You have a good relationship with Her Royal Highness Princess Celestia?"

"In a sense...... Not bad indeed. Aluka pointed to Sinon, "He can prove to me that this is a devout Red Sect, and you will always believe what he says, right?"

Sinon nodded with a struggling expression, he didn't know what to say about the relationship between Aluka and Catherine...... So it's better to keep your mouth shut and not speak.

Alexander sighed, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously, "In that case...... Then I'll tell you. Remember, this must not be leaked. Founded 700 years ago, the Inquisition is the only organization in the southern part of the continent that has passed down the history of heroic wars. There are two main types of priests in the Inquisition - the cardinal priest and the priest with the sword, and if you pick one at random, their status in the Red Cult is second only to the Pope's crown. When it was first founded, the Inquisition had only one mission - to kill all the magicians. Six hundred years ago, the mage hunt ended, and at least on the surface, magicians were no longer available, so the function of the Inquisition became to deal with the pagan problem......"

"Who came up with this task?" asked Aluca, curiously. Isn't it the idea of the Creation Council to erase the power beyond mortals in the Overworld? The war between the gods and the old gods took place three thousand years ago in the age of gods and demons...... Listening to Alexander, seven hundred years ago, during the heroic age, there were still magicians on the continent.

From this information, two things can be deduced from Aruka: first, the Council of Creation was established in the Heroic Age, not after the war between the gods and the Old Gods. It is likely that the gods did not yet discover the dangers of using "supernatural powers" in the Overworld when they first ended the war. Second, the Council of Creation does not take matters into its own hands on the overworld, and the gods will somehow manipulate the overworld's organizations to do things for them......

"The man who proposed the mission, along with the Heroic War, is listed as the two great secrets of the Inquisition. Even I don't have access to it, only the directors of the Inquisition can ......see it," Alexander replied.

"What do you mean...... The Pope can't even look at it. ”

"The Inquisition is nominally the internal organization of the Red Cult, but in reality we exist independently of the Red Cult and are not under the command of His Majesty. Alexander paused and continued, "The reason why I am telling you this is because Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess has ordered us to follow your command and answer all your questions...... I hope you don't live up to the trust of Her Royal Highness the Celestial Princess and tell this information without authorization. ”

"I see......," Arouca said after a pause, pacing back and forth, rubbing his earlobes, "now suppose there are magicians on the continent who are good at illusion...... Is it possible to achieve an attack like today's? How much do you know about magicians?"

This can be regarded as a question that understands the person, Alexander smiled and said, "Young master...... Did you know that we, as witchers of the Inquisition, have been learning how to deal with mages since the first day of our initiation, even though we haven't encountered them for six hundred years...... When it comes to understanding magicians, we in the Inquisition call it second, and absolutely no other organization dares to call it first. ”

"I'm proud, I'll teach you a word...... "Arouca squinted and smirked, "Dragon slaying skills." ”

"Oh, what does that mean?"

"I learned the skill of slaying dragons, but I haven't even seen what a dragon looks like. ”

"Ahem...... This is the tradition of the Inquisition," Alexander was embarrassed...... "and the way to deal with a mage is not necessarily not to deal with a heretic, not a dragon-slayer." Anyway...... Based on what I've learned, the conditions for using illusions are quite harsh. The most common form is called 'Hitomi Confusion', which requires the caster to make eye contact with the caster. Advanced illusions include 'Sound Confusion', 'Qi Confusion', 'Light Confusion'......"

With Aluca's comprehension ability, he thought of the idea in an instant, and said: "In other words, illusions need a certain medium to trigger in order to make the caster need illusions. This medium can be a sight, a sound, a smell, or a light, but without the medium illusion it will never work. ”

"Exactly. Alexander nodded in confirmation.

"That way, it's unlikely that an entire village will be magically spelled at the same time...... The environment was too complex to set up a medium that worked at the same time, and we didn't notice any other anoma......lies when we hallucinated," Aluca thought.

Xinon said tentatively, "I remember...... Isn't there an earthquake? Isn't it ......?"

"No, it's not an earthquake. Arouca was quick to deny, "I think it could be called ...... 'space quake'." If a magician can use this exaggerated medium to trigger illusions, it would be easier to kill us all. ”

"Young Master, you are too worried, there is no possibility that there are still magicians. Alexander persuaded, "Since I can't think of a reason now, it's better to put this matter down first, and when I find a clue, it will naturally come out." ”

Arouca was hesitant, he personally wanted to investigate the matter. Could this be what the God of Wisdom is saying about "great things" at the ends of the earth? If so...... A terrible thought appeared in Aluca's mind, could it be that the people of the entire Overworld were hallucinating at the same time?

But he couldn't continue to think about it, because White touched his big bald head and smiled shyly, "Everyone...... Have we forgotten one thing......"

Arouca was still thinking about the hallucination, and simply replied "Huh?".

White lowered his head, put his two index fingers together, and said uneasily, "This...... Are we ...... Forgot the herald and fainted?"

"Damn!" Arouca remembered that there was a herald in the group, and he was the biggest one.

The crowd looked towards the herald and found a dazed tenant spitting on the herald's face......

Aluca's face was grim, and he said, "Go and help the herald up, freshen up and take care of it, and make sure that the herald is safe and healthy." ”

"What about you?"

"I fainted in the first place, everything that happened here has nothing to do with me. I didn't see anything, I didn't know anything. After saying that, Aruka fell to the ground and fell asleep very undisciplinedly.

When Wood saw it, he scolded: "The young master is too much of a thing, do you want us to carry the black cauldron? Shame on us......! Why is my head a little dizzy...... I can't seem to hold on......"

With that, he also fell to the ground. After that, he also winked at White, who understood and screamed "fainted".

"Hey, you're going too far...... "Xinon was helpless, he couldn't do such a thing. But now that the herald has been spit on his face, he can't carry the black pot alone, "Mr. Alexander, do you see if we are ......"

And the old butler has disappeared at some point. Xinon let out a long sigh, walked over and kicked the guest lying on the herald's body, looking at the filth on the herald's face and feeling extremely painful......
