Chapter 127: In-depth investigation
"You've already fought the Evil Spirit?" "Yes. And now it can be proven that these evil spirits are by no means real products, soul power, as far as I know, only a few people in the whole continent have them, and they will not make such products. β
Carmon was convinced that this so-called evil spirit was some kind of special summoning, and not some monster created by the so-called 'Breath of Fall'.
"There's footsteps, someone is coming, we all have to go... I will continue to find a way to deal with the evil spirits, and you continue to investigate the inside of the Cult of the Gods. With that, Carmon departed, and Hirol stepped up and returned to the dormitory.
As he lay on his bed, Hirol pondered the question, "Where should I begin my investigation? Under such strict rules, if anyone is discovered, he will be excommunicated immediately, so that the truth of the matter will never be known...... That's right, the side door!"
After thinking about it for a long time, Hirol finally thought of a key place, that is, the side door of the main podium in the main hall, although it was the room of the teachers, but when Hirol was on the basketball court before, he found that the open space outside the church was close to the side door of the podium in the main hall, and there was no additional building, and since it was the residence of all the teachers and the fundamentalists of the Divine Religion, it could not be small enough to build a room within the side wall of the building, in either case, it could not be above the surface, then the only possibility was underground.
But the key question is, why? This church was built by Archbishop Goukomon, and Gurafis and others are core members of the Cult of God, so why do they deign to live underground? The only explanation is that there is something hidden underground, which needs to be guarded by their own people day and night. After locking on the target, Hirol began to make up his mind to find a way to sneak in and investigate, and the key to a series of events must be in it.
"That's the end of today's magic. The members who signed up for the event yesterday will stay, and they will follow me to the side door room later, and the rest of the church members can move around freely. After Zeil said this, all the congregants got up and took their notes and left their seats, while those who had signed up for the event stepped onto the podium.
As soon as Hiroel got up and took a step towards the podium, he was stopped by Zeyer: "Apprentice Rogok, you are not a registered sect member, don't think that you are now a first-order disciple, and you can slack off your cultivation." "I just wanted to see what the event was like, after all, my friend was also there. After his intentions were revealed, Hirol could only try to perfunctory the past under the pretext of Carify.
"If you want to know what, you can ask him to tell you when he goes back. After saying this, Zeil walked into the side door of the pulpit without looking back, and Hirol did not continue to follow up, after all, this sentence has already said everything, as long as Hirol dares to step into the side door of the pulpit for half a step, he will be excommunicated immediately.
"You want to go in and have a look, don't you?" Suddenly, a gentle voice came into Hiroel's ear, and it turned out that, unconsciously, Ruth had walked to his side.
"Is it possible, you tooβ" Herol was not a fool, of course he could hear it, and Ruth replied playfully, "I, just a little curious. But you know, a canon is a canon, and where we are not allowed to go in, we are not allowed, unless others can't see you. "Can't see it? yes, I didn't think of that. "Well, where are you going? β
Herol was awakened by Ruth's unintentional words, since he couldn't enter the forbidden place in plain sight, he might as well hide himself. And in yesterday's duel, the cultists released a spell that could hide themselves, and that was the 'Invisibility Charm'.
Although Hiroel is now a first-order cultist, the 'invisibility spell' is subordinate to the advanced spell, and only the official disciples can learn it, and they can only learn it if they are temporarily promoted to the level of the pope, but this spell is recorded in a book in the library, that is, the encyclopedia of spells.
Although it is a violation to learn this kind of spell before reaching the specified level, but the premise is that it is discovered, not to mention that the canon of the Cult of the Honored Gods also says, 'There are no forbidden books in the library', so reading this book is not a violation, and Hiroel can be said to be for the next practice, first preview the attack spell.
"The invisibility spell is actually to create a barrier around one's body, so that this barrier reflects the surrounding environment...... Isn't this the chameleon principle?" Herol looked at the mantra and effect of the invisibility spell, and quickly realized the root of this spell, "It's just that you can only be invisible in place, and after the barrier generates the ambient color, it can't be changed, and once you move even one step, it will be exposed...... It's not a real-time change, it seems to be a bit difficult, and there is a delay time of 1 second to cast, so ......"
The invisibility spell only works if it is still and has 1 second to take effect, and Hirol understands that in order to sneak in and not be detected, Hirol must seize the moment and use it immediately when he hears the sound of footsteps, whether the footsteps are coming towards him or not, he must enter the stealth state in advance.
However, since the invisibility spell limits the level of learning, it must be a spell that is difficult to learn, and when learning simple spells such as auxiliary spells and dispel spells, they have spent a lot of energy, and they have not been able to achieve perfection, and it is very difficult to learn such a difficult spell on their own, and they will not be noticed by the elders if they use it.
Soon, five days passed, and Hirol was still only scratching the surface, and sure enough, it would be very difficult to learn new spells without a mentor teaching him directly. However, fortunately, Hirol was successfully promoted to a second-order disciple with his stable performance, and he would not face much danger after two days of the 'deathbed test', so he could focus all his attention on cultivating the 'invisibility spell'.
Two more days have passed, and Hirol has finally been able to cast the invisibility spell, and today's display in the magic mechanics course, Hiroel's performance is still so bland but stable, so when the nomination was announced at the end of the Netherworld course in the evening, Hirol was still only a second-order cultist, Tarevi and Sinya had also caught up and become second-order cultists, Ammiro became a first-order cultist, and Ruth had already become a third-order cultist.
But Hirol doesn't care much about this, because tomorrow when the group of cultists participates in the activities, Herol will sneak in.
At 3 p.m. on June 14th, the magic class ended, and the members of the sect who participated in the special activities had to participate in the activities after a short rest, and Hirol had to prepare, whether it was psychological preparation or spell preparation, and the infiltration mission was carried out until now that he really had an eyebrow, he couldn't miss this golden opportunity, he didn't want the director and deputy director to be disappointed in him, he wanted to prove that the police station was not only a serious crime investigation team that could produce talents.
While all the participating cultists were concentrated in the main hall, Hirol hid in the corridor leading to the side hall, using the 'Invisibility Charm'. One is to prevent people from discovering what is happening in the main hall, and the other is to test whether this invisibility spell can really deceive other people's eyes.
"Everyone is here, so come down with me. After confirming that all the participants were present, the Cultists led them into the side door of the podium, and Hero, hearing no footsteps in the main hall, made sure that no one could see him near the hallway, so he removed his invisibility, and then pretended to return to the dormitory, passing through the main hall, and walked in the hall normally.
At 3:40, there was no movement of people in the corridor, Herol walked decisively to the podium, and cautiously opened the side door, which was not surprisingly an underground chamber, and the lights were not bright, but Herol could not use the 'Illumination Charm', and once used, he would expose himself.
Walking down the stairs in the dark, there was finally light under the floor, but it was all a pale blue shimmer, and it seemed that the 'Illumination Charm' had been cast underneath Heror had to stay away from this light, because it was possible that the 'Illumination Charm' would make the Invisibility Charm ineffective.
"Empty your mind, feel the tranquility of nature, and absorb the breath of freedom. Remember, your spiritual power will increase our mana, and let us sense the darkness lurking in this city. Hirol was on the last step of the staircase, and had not descended, and heard Bravi's voice coming from inside, and Herol looked cautiously and saw that the basement was very narrow, and all the congregants were gathered in the middle of the room, sitting cross-legged on the floor.
As for Bravi and Zeyle, they were doing their own thing, Bravi was muttering something as he walked, Zeyle was standing in place, his eyes closed, and the two palms and fingertips that stretched straight out to the crowd seemed to glow with a lilac glow.
Hirol didn't know what they were doing, but he first observed the environment in the basement, there were a total of six bunk beds, which were located in various positions in the basement against the wall, but at this moment, Hirol noticed that there was actually a door diagonally opposite the staircase, and there seemed to be a password and a hint on the door, but it was too far away for Heroel to see clearly.
"Are you all asleep?" "Yes. The False Sleep Spell had already taken effect, and with Elder Cafidia's newly developed potion, they should be able to sleep steadily for an hour and a half. β
Suddenly, Hirol overhears a conversation between Bravi and Zeyer, and instead of contemplation, the congregation is forced into a deep sleep. Moreover, Cafidia is also mentioned, which means that the so-called 'fragrance' is 100% related to 'Phantom Fragrance'.
"It's really troublesome, the Great Elder has to do something orthodox, wouldn't it be better to do this sooner? "Don't complain, you and I both know that the archbishop wants to deal with that guy and can't use normal means, because that guy's strength exceeds that of the archbishop. We can only take it one step at a time. β
"Hurry up, the archbishop is very dissatisfied with the results of the last time you two, and this time the test subject must be done well. Suddenly, Gurafis stepped out of the codedoor, and his usual benevolent tone became cold and intimidating.
Suddenly, Herol felt Gulafis looking at him, and immediately withdrew his head, and at the same time, from the stairs came the sound of his feet stepping on the plank, and Herol immediately recited the 'invisibility spell'. Sure enough, one of the cultists hurried down and said something to Gulafis, while Hirol took the opportunity to sneak out of the basement.
Hirol walked up the stairs and pushed the door open when he heard no footsteps, and at that moment he saw Ruth standing at the bottom of the stage, staring at Herol who had come out of the side door of the podium.
