Chapter 3 My Father Reimbursed You
I found some patterns in the cracks in the space, and created a new spell, which brought me to another world, I thought this was the legendary kingdom of gods, but there was no breath of gods in it, and after exploring, I found that this world was unexpectedly narrow, and I named it the plane.
—The Sage Lirin, vol. 3, p. 12
The discovery of the plane was the most brilliant orb that the gods plucked from their laurels and bestowed on mankind, but the gods were supreme and fair, and with them came trials.
—The Old Gods of Wisdom: Pope Hossen of the Second Dynasty, vol. 5, p. 4
The Second Dynasty thrived because of the expansion of the plane, this legendary warlock dynasty, relying on the development of the plane, maintained its strength, and even for a period of time made the elves let go of their arrogance, let the orcs know how to trade, and made the dwarves retreat to the Bata Mountains, giving up the huge territory connected with the Second Dynasty.
But this glory was short-lived, like a meteor flashing away, and the appearance of demons made the plane of the Second Dynasty open up and become an illusion.
It was only then that I remembered that as the last ancient wizard, the Sage Lilin, who had created the foundation of the current mage system, was a rebel of the Second Dynasty, but perhaps this was something he had not thought about.
—Historian of the Empire of Ion, published in the Imperial Monthly, March 1475
Demons are distorted, not so much a life, but a distorted negative manifestation, they crawl out of the shadow of the world - the abyss, invade the world that belongs to the living beings, and want to use this as a springboard to invade the main material world, the low intelligence only has the destruction of everything in their minds, and those demons who exist in wisdom regard all good things as playthings, bewitching all living beings, making them fall, and becoming their members or believers.
Don't touch them, no matter what wisdom you think you have, demons are the biggest taboo.
——The first page of the textbook "Demon Studies" of Heyas College, a message from the first dean
……
At this time, Kelsen did not realize the seriousness of the problem they were facing.
He may have realized it, but he never imagined that the demon that was about to come would come so quickly, and the plane in which it existed was likely to be polluted by the complete abyss.
The cage of the living that envelops Deen Town is not just a simple living cage, but also a projection of the abyss, which cuts Deen Town, otherwise, even if the demon hidden behind the gap in the plane of Deen Town, no matter how powerful it is, it can't just rely on some leaked power, and do not rely on corrupted believers to cast a magic like the living cage.
As Iren walked deeper into the dungeon, pondering his next plan, Kelsen continued.
"The sinner was named Rocket, a blacksmith in the town of Deern, and the other two, after questioning the townspeople, found that the missing of the two was more likely, both farmers. But on weekdays, they don't seem to communicate much, they are not acquaintances and friends, they have no contact other than knowing each other because the town is too small, and I have searched for their house, and there is no such thing as a demon. ”
"Something related to demons, or is it just the piece of paper you found in the ashes of the stove in the house of the fourth overboard Visen's house when you first entered Dern Town, I have researched, and it is indeed a demon summoning array, but because there is only about one-seventh left, I can't identify what kind of situation the summoning array is, and I can only identify it through some remaining nodes and lines that are related to demons."
"And the old priest in Deen Town, who died a month ago, is from the Church of the Lord of Asylum, and I have also explored his grave, but I have found nothing, the body is normal, and there is no defilement power. It's like a normal old death, and the pastor who succeeds him will arrive in two months, after all, this kind of country town has never been taken seriously, you know. ”
Kelsen spoke very carefully.
"Don't dwell on that, Kelsen, I've guessed something."
And in the previous backtrack, Iren also suspected that there might be something wrong with the dead old priest, but in the end he didn't find anything.
Maybe it's just a matter of ability, but in any case, the possibility of being bewitched by the demon is very low.
As he said this, Iren also walked the last corner, and came to the deepest part of the dungeon, which was even colder and daz, and filled with the smell of decay and fish, like the smell of sludge that had fermented for decades.
There are only five cells, all of which are cramped spaces.
On the ground in the center of the five cells, a compass with an unturned pointer is placed, and three lit oil lamps are placed around the compass, bringing some light to the dungeon.
The only cell with the prisoner was tied with some white silk threads, and there were bits and pieces of gems strung on the silk threads, and the light reflected by the gems allowed Eren to see the prisoner's appearance clearly, this was a brown-haired man, dressed in linen, he was trapped by iron ropes, unable to move, and many white silk threads were wrapped around his body.
It's like a sacrificial ritual stronghold of some weird sect...... Iren wanted to complain like this, but he swallowed it silently, after all, if he said so, he was the leader of the cult.
How could I be a villain?
No way! When pigs fly!
The man didn't seem to notice Erun's arrival, his face was pale and weak, his eyes were glazed, and with a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, he stared straight up to a certain place above, humming softly, "Canali's shell...... In the corner of the bakery, the cold night ...... There is her soul in the wind...... Lead to...... The cobblestone road of the bakery, the trampled ...... It was a red ...... given to her by her mother Dress, don't stain it, don't stain it, peel off your skin and fill the clothes......"
"Hey...... It will be clothes, and it will be good clothes...... No one can escape ......"
His face was pale with a dead man's color, and his lips were bright red like the undertaker's contouring, but he still had a living man's breath, albeit slight.
Kelsen, who had been following Elen, stood in front of Eren and looked vigilantly at the man who seemed to have no ability to resist.
No one dared to underestimate the demon believers, not to mention that the other party was still in such a strange state now.
Eren wasn't ready to ask, he didn't get anything out of the man's mouth in the previous time rewind, he was like he had completely lost his mind, just kept chanting this strange ballad.
And the Canali in this ballad did not get any clues from the townspeople.
"I tried to interrogate this guy by a lot of means, but I didn't get anything, I tried to spy on his memory, but his spiritual sea was very disordered, and my spell was ineffective."
Kelsen stared at Blacksmith Rockett as he explained.
I was still thinking about Iron's previous words in my heart, and guessed it? Guessed what?
Iren didn't say much, just took two steps forward and passed Kelsen.
He wasn't here to find any clues, just to clear a hidden danger.
If left unchecked, the demon will descend on the Overworld under the influence of this blacksmith named Rocket, and its power will be even greater than it would otherwise be.
But Iren, who has experienced everything, also knows that Roctor is now in a state of mutation, and it is no longer something that can be killed by ordinary methods, but with the power of purification.
Ellen's gaze stared at Rocht, suddenly raised his hand lightly, and gently turned the ring with his right hand, the cold light emitted by his eyes became bright again for a moment, the water vapor gathered around the iron prison, and the railing was covered with a layer of frost, Kelsen turned his head to look at Irn with some confusion, but Ellen stretched out his left index finger and wrote a line of Thorgon text on the railing with frost.
Then he whispered it in the language of Soggen, "The stone and the beast hold the line, the disciple of Mita, the covenant of the covenant, that is, the vessel of iron, the circulation of the five elements ether, Jerome descends!" ”
"Ahhhh
The bound blacksmith roared violently, the jewels on the white silk threads that bound him all emitted a shining light, and the iron ropes on him and his body were also attached to the scorching thunder and lightning, and in just a few seconds he was scorched black by electricity, and a strong scorching stench emanated from his body.
When the lightning stopped, the glow of the magic gems on the white silk threads went out, but most of them had some cracks.
"Jerome, who symbolizes the element of thunder, prays for the descending light of power as a suffix...... Young Master Iren, this is the ...... A Covenant of the Secret World? ”
Kelsen was a little stunned in his heart, and Elion's shot also had a bit of pain in the loss of his gems.
【Precept School Spell - Covenant of the Secret World】
[There is no level, according to the magic power paid, you can borrow the power of the pointing plane to show different powers. It is necessary to establish a connection with a plane, and to establish a connection between the bloodline and the core of the plane, so that the races of the same bloodline can also grasp the covenant of the secret realm]
With some uncertainty, Kelsen thought for a moment, and only thought of this powerful spell that Eren could cast on his own.
"It is rumored that the Okmos family holds a plane, is it a thunder plane? It's a rare plane. However, the stone and the beast hold the line, the disciple of the Mita...... Proficient in secret techniques and animal taming, and has received a sixth-rank inheritance, this kind of spell is really a simple boast. ”
He thought silently in his heart.
Kelsen's surprise was not why Eren was able to borrow the technique he had arranged to strengthen the Covenant of the Secret Realm.
After all, when he belonged to the Okmos family, he fulfilled his vow under the secret treasure of the Discipline School - my lord is mine. As a result, all the spell locks he had set up with his own hands had no effect on the lineage of the Okmos family.
"Unfortunately, we don't have enough magic gems...... Otherwise, Master Iren, you can try it and forcibly break the cage of the living. ”
Kelsen was a little enthusiastic about the Secret Covenant, after all, as long as he paid enough magic, the caster could even use spells beyond his own upper limit, which was quite practical, but looking at his gems, he felt a little distressed.
"Don't worry, Kelsen, my father will reimburse you for these gems when you go back."
Eren said casually, and then he felt a thin layer of gray mist drift out of the corpse in the cage and sink into his body.
