In the dead of night, most of the people at the banquet have been reduced.

The people who stay here are only some righteous men and gentlemen who are clean and self-conscious, those who can't see through the truth of the world, ugly people who don't look good and no one cares about them, or middle-aged uncles who can't stand it when they are old and lack the energy of a day and a night.

These people all have one thing in common, and that is that they really like the banquet, because the ones they don't like have gone home to sleep.

Kira is not any of the people mentioned above, although he is a righteous gentleman and likes banquets, but the purpose of staying here is not because of this banquet, and even the real purpose is a little dishonorable.

Tonight, he's going to visit the altar!

The night was getting colder, and the only thing that brought the temperature was the campfire beating in the firewood.

I don't know which person made a thunderous snoring sound, which continued and rhythmically echoed in this wide and old old square, causing this group of people who 'take the sky as their bed and the earth as their bed' to frown again and again in their sleep, and their originally calm hearts became irritable.

But they didn't wake up.

After a tiring day at work, a night of partying, and drinking, even if you call Harpy and let him try to use sleep magic, you can ensure that the group will sleep until tomorrow. (*Here Harpy uses sleep magic, which has the opposite effect)

A figure quietly ascended the high platform of the sacrifice, and it was Kira.

"The magic is quite strong."

Sensing his surroundings, Kira walked straight forward.

The altar was very empty, it could be said that there was nothing, the livestock used for sacrifice had been carried down and eaten at the banquet just now, and now on it, only the blood-colored magic array that had not yet dried up, and the lonely thick stone pillar inserted in the center of the magic array.

The stone pillars are unusual, the material looks like obsidian, carved with strange textures and strange magical words, and they are covered with dust, which you can tell at a glance that they are very old, and I don't know if it is because they feel disrespectful to the gods, so the people in the town have not been cleaned regularly.

But Kira's focus is not on the stone pillars, but on the magic circle beneath her feet.

"What an ancient magical text! If I weren't a sorcerer who loves to learn, I wouldn't have recognized me...... Let me see what is written above. ”

】

Three minutes later......

Kira rose from the ground and looked at the magic circle on the ground in deep thought.

This magic array is probably used in the local area, to ensure that this town will not be affected by heavy snowstorms or heavy rains, droughts and other bad weather, the previous festival is used to absorb the magic in the air to maintain the normal operation of the magic array, everything makes sense, very perfect. But......

"There is no mention of sacrifices......"

Suddenly, an outrageous idea full of grooves came to my mind: "Could it be that it's just an excuse for a banquet??! ”

Kira was shocked to find out the truth, and then shook her head again, "No, no...... That must just be a change in the original intention in the inheritance of history!

It must be so!

”

Just as Kira was about to turn to leave, she suddenly stopped, and on a whim, the idea of 'do you want to try to perceive this altar' came to her mind, and then she couldn't control it.

"It's all here, it doesn't matter if you feel it, right? Seeing this kind of suspicious altar, isn't it normal for a passing righteous magician to take a closer look? ”

The spirit of adventure is at work.

"Magical Perception!

”

The majestic magic spread outward along Kira's spiritual power centered on himself, and soon covered the ancient ruins in front of him, whether it was the citizens who were sleeping soundly below, or the extinguished bonfires and the food that had not had time to be eaten, every move was shrouded in the huge net formed by Kira's magic.

"Let me see, this altar...... Sure enough, it's greasy! ”

Kira couldn't help but bring a smug smile to her face.

The instinct was right!

The magic gained through the sacrifice is transported deep underground, which happens to be in a position similar to the core of the leyline, and although it is only a tributary in terms of distribution, it is enough to affect the entire town, plus the area of several surrounding peaks.

And there is really something under this magic array, although it doesn't look like a living thing from perception, but it's also very suspicious!

You know, even if it's a pig, if it's infected by magic all year round, it can become a monster, so that the things inside have endured the baptism of magic for I don't know how many years, although the frequency is not high, only once a year, but it's hard to say that it won't become a monster and a demon.

That's right!

Prayers, altars and the like, there is often an unknown existence lurking underneath, which is a setting that is not bad in any work!

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be the legendary 'Saturnalia', or its related!"

Kira, who has hundreds of books and film and television experience, quickly became confused, "But...... How long ago was that? Is it possible for ordinary things to sit here for that long? , I heard them say that this festival has been passed down for hundreds of years, not to mention the relics of the 'god of agriculture', even if it is the god of agriculture, the bones have long been turned to ashes, right? ”

Dig up the ground, go into the ground and dig that thing out? If you do this, you will probably cause damage to the terrain here, and the movement will be ......

Kira glanced at the citizens who were sleeping dead in the distance, and quickly dismissed the idea.

For these citizens, the altar of this 'agricultural festival' should be regarded as their cultural heritage here, and it is better not to destroy it themselves.

Then you have to use the second way!

Kira's magic power is like a thick octopus tentacle, powerfully penetrating thousands of meters into the ground, accurately capturing the final location of the magic flow, and then he waved his hand, and the magic was activated.

"Spatial teleportation!"

It's not about teleporting yourself underground, it's about teleporting something underground.

Peng!

With a soft sound, a long rusty rectangular black iron box appeared out of thin air in Kira's hand.

"That's it!"

Sensing the flow of magic in the air, Kira's eyes shot a fine light, and she couldn't help but want to open it.

However, due to the perennial burial in the ground and the special material, this iron box has long been rusty and cannot be opened, and there is a solid magic seal on it, which eliminates the possibility of being easily opened.

Kira looked at the box in her hand and hesitated: no matter what, she secretly ran to someone else's house, ate and drank a big meal for nothing, and then opened the object of other people's sacrifices without authorization...... It's too disgraceful to say this!

"What if as soon as the box is opened, an evil god pops out of it that wants to destroy the world?"

There was once a Captain Hong who opened the seal and released one hundred and eight evil demons, if it really developed in that direction next, wouldn't he be on a par with that kind of person in the future?

"No...... That's not right...... My reputation must not be ruined here! ”

But...... The blind box is in hand, is it a bit unreasonable not to open it?

After thinking about it for a long time, Kira gritted her teeth and spit out: "It's done!" ”

Rumble!

With a low wind sound, a cluster of white flames appeared on Kira's fingertips, he slowly pushed the fire ball towards the iron box, in the extreme heat, what magic seal was not much stronger than the paper lake, it was dyed to ashes in an instant, Kira easily broke through its magic shield, and then stabbed it hard, and immediately melted the shackles of the box into iron juice.

"It's on!"

As Kira slowly opened the blind box, the things that had been stored inside for an unknown amount of time were finally revealed.

There is no cliché story of black gas escaping, which is obviously not a sealed evil god; There was no expected rancid smell or poisonous gas, and although it had been sealed for thousands of years, the contents were not oxidized at the moment of contact with the outside world, but remained in their original appearance.

"A Codex?"

The moment she saw what was inside, Kira was stunned.

Something as simple as that? Need to be so secretive?
