Chapter 488: Big Search
Kane admits that the enemy did a good job.
Not only did the trick of plundering people play a new trick, but the timing was also good.
Nights are not a problem, but dark clouds and torrential rain are a real problem.
If you can cast spells normally in such weather, the Dark Druid Branch can't do it, you have to do it with Storm Walkers.
When the ontology is shaping the sub-incarnation, it reduces the diversity of the technical system it masters, and I usually don't feel it, but now I feel inconvenient when I encounter this situation that has high requirements for technical background.
People are missing here, but it can also be a cover.
"I guess that the other party has already completed the control of intelligence, and even with the help of the inner ghost, he has completed full preparations. Baroness Peyton, who is unlucky. ”
"Then, is it too late to investigate the personnel in batches now?" Lawrence also knew that there were internal ghosts, otherwise it would not be easy for Cynthia to live in seclusion and seclusion.
"Check it, although it will take a bit of effort, but after sifting through it, there should be some clues. ”
Lawrence was very cooperative in this matter, first of all, Kane already had a quasi-master-apprentice relationship with his own son, and he was keen to further strengthen that connection.
Secondly, the witch plagued his family, and taught the bad daughter to teach the bad daughter, and said that if he plundered people, he would plunder people, and if he didn't find out clearly, he would not be able to sleep and eat.
So the steward and the captain of the guard were summoned, and martial law was imposed not only on their own mansion, but also on the entire Gauenburg, and those who had families had to go home, and they were not allowed to linger outside, including taverns, because there was a possibility of door-to-door investigation.
At the same time, Kane is using his expertise to prepare a ready-made elixir.
The male servants of the Gao family brought the soil in wooden pots, and Kane took seeds from his bags and planted them.
These plant seeds were all obtained from his transactions with the Holy Sect, and there were more than a thousand categories in total, that is, a national-level behemoth like the Holy Sect, and it was really necessary for another organization to have this reserve.
With the Holy Sect, the most powerful snake in the Aika continent, as the leading party, Kane completed the collection of general species very efficiently, and he, the great druid, began to become worthy of the name because of this.
Of course, the Holy Sect did not lose money, and from their own point of view, it was beneficial to the present generation, and the merit was in the future, and it made a lot of money.
Because the most important technology that Kane uses to deal with them is the energy separation technology.
Specifically, it is like dealing with crude oil, stripping away negative spiritual energy and elemental energy.
This technique means that the dark forces that have plagued the Holy Cult for a long time have a solution.
In addition, it is time to change the name to evil powers, which is according to Kane, who has demonstrated his unsurpassed authority in this regard.
For specific example, in the past, in the face of the Abyss Gate, the Abyss Rift, and even the monsters and demons that used evil powers, the Holy Cult could only be carried with extraordinary strength.
Now, it can be dissolved through equipment, and after separation, the negative spiritual energy, simply put, the energy that makes the soul form such as resentment and hatred, can be concentrated and purified. The rest of the spilled out of nature can be easily digested by the natural circulatory system.
The more such separation facilities, the greater the concentration of extraordinary energy, especially in the area where the equipment is erected.
Naturally, these devices are set up in areas where there are abyssal rifts and other eruption vents of evil energy.
In this way, it will not only change the local transcendent environment, but also make it easier to collect supernatural powers, and it will only be a matter of time before the evil place where demons are rampant is gradually transformed into a home suitable for the existence of the Holy Religion.
Of course, it's actually not that simple.
The problem of the Holy Religion is, first of all, the problem of people, then the problem of the system, and then the problem of the environment.
Anyway, in Kane's opinion, the Holy Sect has this technology, but it is just barely hanging its life, and the name of this life is 'Seemingly False Hope', and against it, the various factions of the Holy Sect can probably tolerate each other for a while longer, and it will not be a big wave rushing over, just taking advantage of the situation to disperse.
This is not Kane's pessimism, but a speculation made after understanding the situation of the Holy Religion from different angles.
Mountainism, self-preservation, a heavy setback, immediately collapsed, are all 'whoever falls in love with whom, anyway, I don't go, I have to preserve my strength, so that in the chaos, in order to survive better', the result is that they are broken by each other, their knees are weak and surrender, or they die to death.
Now that there is a shot in the arm for the evil energy separation technology, just for the value of the technology, it can also make the Holy Sect last for a while longer.
The upper echelons of the Holy Sect, at least the members of the Moon Lord Council, generally hoped that the sect would survive the difficult times. They themselves are already the top magnates, and even if they toss around, it is difficult to have power that can match the current one.
Before, he was unable to solve the most fundamental problem, and he could only watch the Holy Sect slide into the abyss step by step, but now it is like an old farmer who has obtained a golden gold, and he is convinced that he can produce 18,000 per mu, so he not only does it with great fanfare, but also publicizes it with great fanfare, in order to regain the confidence of the people below.
These people in the Moon Lord Council can be said to be qualified politicians. They naturally knew that for the current Holy Religion, nothing was more precious than hope.
Kane agrees. With hope, people are willing to endure, be willing to work hard, and even be willing to sacrifice. Many people like Lawrence and Goenburg, it was precisely because of hope that they actively cooperated with him, and the lord of the castle gave strict orders, and people endured it.
Catalyzed by extraordinary power, the rapid growth of the plant is visible to the naked eye, and with some materials that Goenberg can provide, the preparation of the elixir is quickly completed.
The potency is not comparable to that of the HP world's trumpers, and there are some uncomfortable side effects. But in Goenburg, where people at the bottom lack human rights, these are small things.
As the investigation unfolded, the inner ghost surfaced.
The coachman, the maid, the cook, can use the position to contact the master, but also can communicate with the outside world, must be such a relationship chain, in order to open.
The inner ghost was caught, but Lawrence couldn't be happy.
The ones caught are all small characters, and more importantly, the spearhead is now directed at his wife Elsa, who thought that Elsa was also a meat ticket, but now there is one more possibility, Elsa is the mastermind and executor.
Five people are missing from the mansion, Elsa, Cynthia, Amanda, Elsa's personal maid Lily, and Nathan, the gardener.
Lawrence is terrified, and Kane is pondering an important question, if Elsa is the main messenger of everything, why didn't he find out sooner?
Cynthia found an excuse not to show up and have dinner with Kane and Amanda because Lawrence didn't like the daughter and was worried about her clumsiness, and she was afraid that she would be courteous on important occasions.
But Elsa, as the hostess, was in attendance, and soon had a hot conversation with Amanda. This time, there was an event inviting him to visit the mansion.
However, after more than an hour of dinner, Elsa was less than 3 meters away from him, and he didn't even notice anything unusual on him. This is really a slap in the face.
"Some special blessing?" Kane easily connected the situation in front of him to the situation he had mentioned to Lawrence about the seductive townspeople of Red Maple Castle.
Although the external manifestations may be very different, the core of their representation is unified, and they are all things that cannot be done under conventional circumstances.
To put it more directly, if you want to hide from the world in front of him, you can only use divine power at a higher level than him.
Eugen has already said that there is no god in this world, even Nidhogg, who is restrained by Eugen to a considerable extent, and does not dare to let go of his hands and feet.
Coupled with the limitations of the laws of this world itself, the incarnation of the Nidhog faction can only be a level of Holy Spirit with him, and the big deal is that the family is more abundant and stronger.
But even if the other party has a high probability of beating him head-on now, he can't do tricks in front of his eyes without him noticing.
Then in the end, there is only one possibility, the artifact relics left by the gods who once existed.
In fact, there is also a possibility that although Elsa is the main messenger, she is not a witch at all.
I'm afraid this can be regarded as a loophole in Kane's thinking, he is used to 'talking and laughing, and there is no white ding', it is difficult to imagine a mortal who dares to do a big death to wrestle with him.
In fact, even if you are a mortal, occupy the home field, and are well prepared, there is still a probability of winning, even if it is only a round of winning, it is still a win.
Kane also has a problem with taking it for granted, just like too many bookworms who read on the Internet, he swears at every turn that a certain author writes the beginning, and he knows the end.
Indeed, most of them can be expected, there is nothing new under the sun, but there are also those who have clear brains, and they should be slapped in the face, which is also crackling.
This time, Kane opened his mind and decided that Elsa had an artifact blessing, so he could only roll his arms and go out in person.
The wizards who graduated from the crash course under his command are not skilled enough, and they are typical spell-casting barbarians, mainly good at PIU PIU PIU, and have nothing to do with being knowledgeable and experienced.
And he personally came out, mainly referring to a comprehensive inspection of the facility.
The witch's witchcraft is very dependent on foreign objects, which are roughly divided into two categories: potions and magic weapons, and most of the witchcraft is similar to the curse spells, which requires mediums and rituals, and these will leave traces.
What Kane wants to do is to know about this kind of secret altar, and through careful observation, he can get more information.
More than 200 rooms, carefully inspected one by one, and calculated at will, all had to be delayed until after midnight.
Kane didn't hesitate to pull down his body and start the operation.
Perhaps for some, this is simply the most precious time lost.
But Kane thinks, don't be a giant of thought, a dwarf of action, if there is no good plan or feasible direction, then do it first, the first kind.
Although this method is stupid, it tends to have a high probability of returning.
While Kane was making rounds, Fort Goun was also conducting rounds, with not only Fort Goen's militia, but also Kane's Blood Banner Guards and War Witches participating.
Kane pointed out very unceremoniously: "Since your inner house has been infiltrated so badly, your guards must also have internal ghosts, so our investigation may be more rigorous and less humane." ”
The so-called strictness means that the person who is being investigated is also the target of the investigation.
The impersonal part is that once it starts, it is not allowed to leave the team under any pretext.
And in order to ensure this, not only do they have to monitor each other, but they also have the Eye of Sauron set up by Kane's war wizards.
After checking an area, seal off an area, and no one is allowed to leave or enter, and arrest as soon as it is discovered.
Relying on this method, not only were the lurkers caught, but more than 200 black households were also discovered.
Lawrence knew that the total population under his rule was less than 5,000, and there were more than 200 people with no identity mixed in, and the management loopholes were huge.
However, Kane was not satisfied, and neither the Gaun family's mansion nor Gaunburg could find the favorable evidence he wanted most to support his inference.
Of course, it's not for nothing.
A bunch of rudimentary magic weapons, ritual supplies, medicinal herbs, etc., are just the surface, and behind this, there is the power of death in the dark system.
Kane was not surprised by the discovery.
Any transcendent combat class corresponds to a major transcendent energy source.
A brief explanation of what the power of death is, in fact, is just a concept, the underworld.
The underworld of this world is in a very primitive state, there is no hell, there is no six reincarnations, there is no capital city, there is only one, and that is the soul habitat.
The soul dwelling corresponds to the settlement, not even the tribe, the tribe has a considerable organization, as well as the internal and external division, the settlement is not, the settlement is like a camping settlement, people pull the RV to live for a period of time, come and go very freely, even if there is a maintenance of basic order, are spontaneous and consciously on the job, and not a fixed position, this model does not exist in the real sense of the manager.
It is precisely because of this disorder and dispersion that it is not easy for the souls of living beings on the Akara continent to rest in peace.
Witches, on the other hand, begin with extraordinary inspiration, travel in consciousness, communicate with the spirit, and then use the power of the soul and the soul habitat as a resource.
Therefore, the witches of this world, the evil is only the skin, the real core, can be understood as the god of death, among the various factions of witches in the heavens and all worlds, it is a relatively powerful one.
With this discovery, Kane realized that the witches, most of them, were attracted by his dark and destructive power, after all, they were different manifestations of the same power.
If this is the case, then it is not whether he wants to provoke the other party, but whether the other party is willing to let him go.
