Chapter Eighty-Three: Ruins No. 1 (Monday Recommendation Ticket Monthly Pass)
"No......" Chunas Kolg stood still, a strong sense of despair welling up in his heart.
As a military demigod who had experienced many dangers, he had a clear understanding of his current situation, and could already hear the footsteps of death getting closer.
He wanted to fight to the death, to reveal his mythical creature form, but when the order was given in a slow way, it didn't work.
His body is "parasitized" and out of his control!
At this moment, Chunas Korg could not even shed a single tear.
Under the light of the huge red moon, time passed by second, and suddenly, Chunas Korg raised his left hand and touched his own hair.
He has become Klein's secret puppet.
In fact, in the end, he still had a chance, because the "parasite" could not last as long as it needed to be completely secretive, and for two or three seconds, he could try to reveal the mythical creature.
But the problem is that he still has the effect of misleading and deceiving, and his own thoughts are becoming more and more sluggish and sluggish with the passage of time, and he can't grasp that short opportunity at all.
Klein looked at the new secret couple, exhaled silently, raised his head, looked at the clear and bright red moon, and said:
"Alright. β
In the huge red moon, a black dot instantly stood out, and it was none other than Arianna, the archbishop of the Night Church wearing a simple robe and a bark belt, the "Servant of the Secret".
In this hidden world, the ascetic didn't use any extraordinary abilities, just suspended in mid-air, and set his eyes on the "fallen earl" below.
With a slight lift of his right hand, a faint ghost of Chunas Korg appeared above the military demigod's head, and Crane lost control of the secret couple.
He wasn't too surprised by this, after all, he hadn't yet separated a "Spirit Worm" to pass through the "Spirit Thread", and the control of that secret puppet was essentially at the Sequence 5 stage, less than the demigod level.
"Where did you just go?" Arianna asked calmly, looking at the spirit of Chunas Korg.
Cunas Korg's expression twisted slightly, and then he replied:
"Ruins No. 1. β
...... Is this a contractual commitment, or is it a psychological hint? Crane, who was watching the "psychic", sensed something from the reaction of the "fallen earl".
However, it doesn't affect anything, because this is a hidden world, a world that no one knows, a world that no one can feel.
"Where is that ruin located?Who did it belong to?What is it used for now?" As the archbishop of the "Goddess of the Night" and the angel of the corresponding path, Arianna can share a certain amount of hidden authority, so she didn't start with a simple question, and went straight to the point, not worrying about accidents at all.
Chunas Korg's spirit trembled slightly, giving the impression that it would explode on its own, but nothing happened.
He hesitated and replied:
"The ruins are located in the Stryven section of the Tasok River, deep underground, and are arranged to interfere with divination and prophecy. β
Streven Section...... It's not a short distance from the mountain where Mr. A was before, and the place where you disappeared just now, so it seems that you are still very cautious, and the effect of that point-to-point "teleportation" is much better than I expected...... Klein quickly had a map of the northwest suburbs of Beckland taking shape in his mind.
Cunas Korg went on to reply:
"I don't know what the ruins used to belong to the 'Blood Emperor' Alista Tudor and what they are currently used for, I can't go into the depths of the ruins, and I'm only responsible for sending the people and materials I have collected by various means. β
The name of the "Blood Emperor" Arista Tudor silenced Arianna for two or three seconds before she spoke:
"What materials have you collected?"
This time, Chunas Korg didn't resist much and said them all, including a large amount of mercury, iron ore, and ritual materials from different fields, and Klein couldn't extract any valid information from them, because it was so comprehensive that it was possible to do anything.
Sure enough, he was very cautious, and used a lot of miscellaneous items to cover up what he really wanted to collect, and even the demigods in charge of this aspect didn't know what it was for...... This is very "spectator" approach to the style of the extraordinary, the design of the Psychological Alchemy Society?Crane nodded imperceptibly in speculation.
Arianna didn't seem to notice anything, and instead asked:
"Do you have your own guess about what they're doing?
"Yes, I suspect they're digging up something and trying to sacrifice. Chunas Korg said his judgment.
Arianna looked down at him silently for a while, and then said:
"Who got you involved in the underground ruins?
"Who can enter the depths of the ruins?"
Cunas Korg struggled again, but there was no change.
He hesitated and said:
"I was ordered by His Majesty the King to become a demigod because he provided me with the recipes, materials, and opportunities, and also gave me the 'Concerto of Light and Shadow', which allowed me to play the Extraordinary of Sequence 5 without retaining my strength.
"Except for His Majesty the King, only two of the demigods of the royal family can at the moment, one is Prince Grove and the other is Duchess Georgina. β
They are all surnamed Augustus...... But the royal family is certainly not only these two demigods...... Miss "Justice" does not know these two very well, only mentioning that they rarely participate in social activities, and even the position of a member of the House of Lords is given to her children...... Well, at the level of a demigod, even if there are no extraordinary characteristics such as "immortality" and "immortality", it is not a big problem to live for more than a hundred years, and it is indeed not suitable for holding public office, and it frequently appears in public...... Klein tried to remember, but to no avail.
Arianna was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly asked:
"Have you seen Corens in the Underground Ruins?"
"Who is he?" asked Chunas Korg, confused.
Arianna did not answer, and continued to ask:
"Who else have you seen in the underground ruins besides them?"
Chunas Korg maintained a slightly sluggish state of being "channeled":
"There are also the Witch Cult and the Psychological Alchemy Society, the former was originally represented by the 'Nightingale of Despair' Panatia, but after the Great Smog was replaced by the 'White Saint' Katarina, and the latter was Herwin Lambis. β
"Have they ever ventured into the depths of the underground ruins?" asked Arianna in detail.
"I don't know, I don't follow them all the time. Chunas Korg shook his head, "At least when I met them there, they were in the outer area. β
Arianna asked about other things, trying to sketch the overall outline of the matter from other angles and other aspects, but it was clear that King George III's arrangement had few loopholes, and even a demigod like Chunas Korg could only know what his mission was, and could only move around a certain area, and could not know more.
After thinking for a while, Arianna flipped over with her right hand and pressed down lightly, pressing the spirit of Chunas Korg back into his body, and Crane's control of the puppet was restored.
This made Klein can't help but sigh in his heart:
Even if one day Lady Arianna quietly interrogated my secret puppet, I would have no way of knowing......
At this moment, Arianna leaned over and said to him on the balcony:
"It's almost certain that there is something wrong with George III and where that underground ruins are.
"I'll meet with the Archbishop of the Church of the Storm and the Church of Steam in Beckland at once, and convince them to take action tonight to open the ruins.
"Before I inform you, you keep Chunas Korg in check, pretend he's all right, and then let him disappear. β
This is when I was worried about negotiating with the Storm Church and the Steam Church, and found out that there was a problem with Chunas Korg, so he sealed the underground ruins in advance or activated other emergency plans? Crane was roughly aware and nodded:
"No problem. β
Arianna, who had a simple drape in her hair, didn't say much about this, and took a picture of the "iron" pocket watch with a casual move:
"This seal was given by King George III, and may be able to find some clues from its earlier origins. β
Do you mean you want to take it? Crane replied without the slightest resistance:
"It's up to you. β
In this regard, he really did not complain, and even thought that it should be like this, after all, half of the credit for this battle was "blessed" by Arianna's hidden world and bad luck, in this case, even if the other party did not take the "Concerto of Light and Shadow", Klein would take the initiative, and in this regard, he has always been fair.
And the "Concerto of Light and Shadow" was the last thing he wanted of all the trophies, because it was incompatible with the "Sorcerer's" way of fighting, and the random mutations would inevitably affect his own performance, weakening him far more than the enemy.
Klein had just considered that if the trophy he got was this pocket watch, he would have to fool, no, sell it to Will Onsetin, the "snake of fate" - only the demigods of the Life School who survive by luck can control the "Concerto of Light and Shadow", and when the time comes, such a large secret organization, then a Sequence 1, there must be other powerful seals to exchange.
In response, Arianna nodded her head and tossed the "Ironskin" pocket watch back into the arms of Chunas Corge, making the "Fallen Count" look indistinguishable from before.
His figure vanished, as if erased by an eraser, and the world of the great red moon hanging high and the minarets and chimneys was quickly erased.
In an instant, everything was back to normal: Klein was in the master bedroom, and Chunas Korg was in the guest bedroom a few dozen meters away, clutching the "Revere's desperate scream" in his hand.
Then, taking advantage of the "chaos", the MI9 major general put the pistol back in the pistol pouch under his arm, picked up the glass of Rose ChΓ’teau specialty wine that he had just poured, and took a sip.
