Shadow Covenant

Hearing Cecil's words, Woody stretched out his left hand directly to the sky without hesitation, and everyone stopped in place except Rhea.

He looked at Cecil and said in a low voice.

"Can the number of people be detected?"

He unreservedly believed in what Cecil said, and Cecil did not live up to his trust. I saw this beautiful mage girl closing her blue eyes and carefully sensing the detection guards passing over. Information.

The size of the outer part of the temple was only about three or four towns of Green Creek. Cecil only sent six small detection guards like worker bees, which were enough to cover most areas, and the alarm from one feedback came from It was passed by the third guard, not far from here.

After Cecil immersed his mind in the ocean of consciousness, he opened his eyes to see a brand new vision, hazy and illusory, but what appeared in his mind was extremely real. After the picture gradually became clear, Cecil He also saw everything in front of his eyes.

one, two, three...

"There are a total of six priests wearing robes, and one... a young man in fine clothes?"

"They seem to be escorting him somewhere."

"If there is no accident, in another 5 minutes, we will meet them in the circular square in the middle."

Cecil carefully followed the map and route fed back by the guards, and told the information he had collected. It has to be said that when high-ranking mages acted as scouts for the team, their precision and professionalism surpassed that of most rangers. It is incomparable to rogues. After all, the power of magic is far higher than that of mortals. Those crazy researchers will study all feasible spells.

It's like the invisibility technique that can make ordinary people disappear. In the rogue's professional system, if you want to be completely invisible, you must achieve a very high shadow affinity. Otherwise, it will be difficult to disappear out of thin air under the sun. In an inconspicuous corner, the spell is different. Even if your shadow affinity is zero or even negative, the various invisibility spells that can cover up all sounds, smells, and even the trajectory of your actions are exactly what the caster does in this spell. The results of the research above.

"5 minutes?"

Woody thought about this time, then raised his head and said to Rhea beside Kaverman.

"What is the general situation of people inside the temple appearing outside?"

"And that young man, are there many people like you in the temple?"

"..."

Ruiya's eyes were also a little confused. Obviously, the person Cecil said shocked her for a while, but she quickly thought of a possibility and hurriedly explained.

"Sacrifice is generally resolved internally. Generally speaking, they seldom leave the temple, unless this time it is to meet someone or have something to do."

"Then Cecil, can you see what that young man looks like?"

Woody has some guesses in his mind, but there is still a lack of supplementary evidence.

After hearing this, Cecil thought seriously for a moment, then shook his head and said.

"I can see it, but I have never seen him, but the attire does not look like that of this plane, but looks like a lonely nobleman. By the way, his eyebrows..."

Speaking of the latter, Cecil suddenly thought of something, and looked at the spirit of nature who had been on the edge of the team. Woody naturally noticed it too. He thought for a while, and asked directly.

"Do you have any impression of the teenagers that Cohen sent here? Or is it that Cohen left behind here?"

Regarding Woody's question, the Spirit of Nature pondered for a while, as if trying to search for something in Cohen's memory, but soon, he shook his head with a puzzled expression.

"The heirs he sent here are, on the one hand, as a price for power rewards, and on the other hand, they are also to maintain his own rule. His policies over the years, even people from the same family have secretly opposed them..."

"As for the people he sent here, I really don't have much impression. In my opinion, they all look about the same, but Cohen has no plan to leave behind in the temple in his memory. Instead, he has been wary of For this temple, what he thought most at the time was that after the curse was lifted, this plane would be liquidated, or replaced.”

Woody couldn't help laughing.

"That's really a long way to go."

"Aristocrats, greed and bottomless demands are their natural instincts, but any creature, even the most common tree in nature, never wants to absorb more sunlight."

The Spirit of Nature also shook his head helplessly, and asked Cecil.

"Describe his appearance carefully, maybe I can know who he is."

After Cecil said as he said, the spirit of nature looked dazed and murmured.

"It's Sokman, the illegitimate son born to him and his mistress. He had been serving as an apprentice to a knight before, and was sent here by Cohen. He claimed that he fell off his horse and died, but this happened a few years ago. How is he still alive?"

The spirit of nature recalled a series of things about Sokman in its memory, and couldn't hide its surprise on its face. After all, anyone who heard that a person who should have died a few years ago was still alive, probably couldn't accept it calmly. Well, he asked again and again.

"Are you sure?"

"That's right, although his hair is brown, but his eyes are very strange, they are pure black. People in the south and the north rarely have such eyes. Only the countries on the other side of the desert have such eyes." Black eyes."

Cecil, too, tried to hear the sallow-faced boy in the line of guards watching the building in the frame.

"You said... Will they notice it?"

Kafferman carefully raised a tentative topic.

"Perceive what?"

Ruiya replied subconsciously.

"Perceived that the real Cohn might be dead."

When Woody said these words, his face was as usual, without the slightest change.

Cecil also nodded approvingly.

"That's true, and that's the only way to explain it."

"Then do they value the territory of the Golden River Valley? Are they finally planning to make a move? Or should they lay a foreshadowing there first."

Although Kaverman is getting old, his sense of smell is still very keen in this regard. He immediately thought that the envoy of the temple in front of him was no longer willing to cultivate and live behind the scenes, but planned to go to the stage forward.

"Isn't the reason for the temple to act is only faith, a shepherd must have sheep to be a shepherd, isn't it?"

Woody knew it clearly, and it seemed that the reason why the belief in Feathered Serpent suddenly sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

After Cohen's death, he noticed it and immediately used a substitute.

But he probably didn't succeed, otherwise the final ruler of the Golden River Valley wouldn't be an unknown aborigine.

"Let's avoid it first! Don't run into them."

Woody, who only wanted to complete the ascension ceremony and leave after the fog was lifted, had no reason to confront the Lost Temple head-on at this time. He didn't want to open the dungeon now. The meaning of the master.

"We can miss them entirely by just turning left instead of right from the corner ahead, just a bit of a detour."

Now Cecil has almost opened the whole map vision, and quickly gave useful suggestions.

Ruiya didn't express any opinion, but when she saw that Cecil was more familiar with the layout of the entire temple than she was, there was a faint desire in her eyes, but she looked at the old man with gray hair on her temples, although her temperament was not good. However, the former partner, who was clearly in old age, still gave up that little desire, and the firm expression returned to her face.

"Let's go! I'll take you there. There are detours and shortcuts to copy back, and it won't take much time, but you need to be fast. The divine guard appears. It is possible that High Priest Karl may also come out of the temple, although I haven't seen him for half a year."

Naturally, everyone didn't have any opinions, and Cecil was very happy to hear that it didn't take much time.

After all, the detection guards can't detect every road radiation. It might be possible if she uses the "Insight Technique" that can detect all terrains within three kilometers, but that's not as concealed as the detection guards, because that Sometimes a head-sized eye would appear above the temple, not to expose himself, so Cecil would naturally not do such a stupid thing.

Woody's face did not change, but when he saw the gloomy expression of the spirit of nature, he knew that he must have been influenced by Kaverman and everyone's guess.

After all, he is still facing Cohen's face. Although he doesn't know what he plans to do after Cohen's death, he certainly doesn't want to spend the territory he has managed, and finally attribute it to a mysterious organization that Cohen is attached to. The greatest cause of his master's death.

"Don't be impulsive, they will pay the price, but not now."

In order to prevent him from thinking wildly and disrupting the implementation of the plan, Woody naturally has to stabilize him. He doesn't want to have a random bomb that suddenly goes berserk, which is unfair to other people who trust him and come to this plane.

"I know."

Cohen nodded indifferently and didn't talk too much, but the emotion in his eyes already showed his disgust for this place.

With more and more memories, he realized that this place is not a safe place for him, but it is a place where he can constantly recall the appearance of his master Aisha when he died tragically. Without the curse spread here, those people in the city How could the people instigate to the point of hanging the lord's wife.

Of course, the number one hatred in my heart is naturally the dead Cohen. He wants to rule the Golden River Valley, and part of it is because he wants to take revenge on that family. Let the territory ruled by their family disappear in Cohen's hands, presumably even in the Styx , what greeted him would never be the joy of reunion, but countless murmurs.

After avoiding the group of temple believers who didn't know what to do, Woody and the others soon came to the first destination of the trip, the obelisk, the sacred area in Ruiya's mouth, and there is a row next to it that seems to be used to In the center of the bench that gives the situation a rest, there are three eye-catching three huge stone tablets that look like sword blades, with half of the sword tip exposed, on which countless ancient runes are engraved.

"Let me do it!"

Arriving at a familiar place, the spirit of nature naturally walked forward without hesitation, and said something with his face under the stone tablet. In short, all the originally dim runes lit up at this moment, like fireflies in the dark night , exceptionally bright.

Kafferman, Ruiya, Doni, and Woody couldn't help but stare dumbfounded.

Cecil was immediately attracted by just taking a look at it. She couldn't help but take out the phantom beads that could save the picture from the space ring, and took out all the talismans carved on these stone tablets in an all-round way. The text was photographed.

"This is the core of Mysuo activation!"

After a series of operations, Cecil looked at the stele with surprise on his face, and said repeatedly to Woody, there was an uncontrollable surprise in her voice, and her desire to tell was extremely strong at this moment, as if seeing the rare Average gem.

"This thing is very important, and the mist is only one of its many methods. In addition to distributing the mythical locks in the valley to prevent outsiders from entering and leaving, it can also release the accumulated life force, so that all creatures in the valley can be blessed with vitality. The damage and the wounds suffered by the land will heal quickly, and it can also summon the dead natural spirits... My God, this is at least a legendary enchantment spell, no wonder I can't leave here with my knowledge."

"Woody, this is a big discovery. This is definitely a lost legendary spell, and no one knows about it."

"Do you know what that means? Hahahaha."

Speaking of the latter part, Cecil couldn't help laughing out. It was obvious that what she thought was just a journey to leave here suddenly turned into a treasure hunt she hadn't seen for a long time, and the surprise it gave her was so great.

Now she can't wait to tell all the pictures here to her teacher in the north. I believe she must be interested in knowing that there is such a powerful and man-made legendary spell.

"Not bad."

Woody didn't experience this in his last life. At that time, as the fog cleared, no one had activated the obelisk in this dungeon. Naturally, no one knew that it actually recorded a core technique of a legendary mage.

"I really didn't expect it, but yes, the temple enshrining the demigod would be simple, but a lot of everything, after Asenland was infected by the corrupt mother tree, all disappeared."

"Huh, I don't know if there are no players in this life."

"Then many things will be like the spells on this obelisk."

"Buried in the garbage dump of history, no one looks at it, and no one looks for it."

For some reason, thinking of this, Woody actually felt an indescribable sense of mission.

However, the sense of mission came and went quickly, and soon the spirit of nature let out a weary breath and said it was okay.

The story has come to an end.
