Chapter 110: clues that finally appeared
"What happened?" Panda couldn't help but ask after listening to Wang Tuhao's narration, "What happened next?"
But Wang Tuhao wanted to whet his appetite. First, he drank some water and then ate some food. Looking at the panda, his eyes became more and more fierce. He was afraid that he would pick up the plate and hit him on the head in the next second. sound, continue to speak.
"So Wusian gathered some materials, upgraded the life-guarding ring, and asked the hotel owner to give it to Marius after we left Lorca Town."
Panda nodded: "That's a good idea. Then why did you hang up again?"
"Me, it's not worth mentioning." Wang Tuhao didn't care about his death, he shook his head and said, "Let's go to the ruins of Old Loka Town to look for clues, search and search, and finally find the clues. , so I hung up."
"Don't omit the middle process for me!"
Wang Tuhao laughed twice and told him the detailed process.
Just when Sleepless was trying to transform the lifeguard ring, other traversers came to the ruins of the old Roca town, looking for possible clues of "The Deceiver Erica".
They are not comparable to ordinary scavengers. No matter their number or eyesight, they far exceed those of ordinary people. More importantly, in their team, there is more than one person who has special skills that ordinary adventurers can't have.
So on the second day of searching, they finally found a clue.
It was a secret room that should have belonged to the basement of the town's central square. Judging from the layout of the secret room, it should not have existed back then, but was built afterwards. There is an altar in the secret room. Judging from the blood stains on the altar, the last sacrifice should have been about a year ago.
There is no doubt that this chamber must have been built by Erica the Deceiver. She built this secret room in the place where her family was destroyed, placed this altar, and performed sacrifices.
The theological experts in the traveler tried to interpret the content of this sacrifice by relying on various clues in the secret room and on the altar. It took them almost a day to finally find the answer.
The answer is unexpectedly simple - this sacrifice was originally just a ritual to pay homage and repose.
But...the problem is "original".
Erica's heart was full of resentment, and when her clansmen were killed, they were also full of resentment. What happens when a requiem is held by a person full of resentment for another person full of resentment?
Judging from the traces on the altar, this memorial failed. Instead of being able to rest the resentful soul, it attracted the attention of a demon in hell.
It should be here that Erica signed a contract with the devil, gained youth, and the power of revenge.
"Wait, youth?" Panda asked in surprise, "what's going on with youth?"
"They found a lot of human skin debris in the secret room. The strange thing is that these debris obviously belong to the same person, but the degree of aging is completely different." Wang Tuhao said, "More debris belongs to an old man. It should be the kind of person who is so old that his teeth are falling out, he takes a few steps to catch his breath, and he is not far from death."
"Erica is indeed very old, and of course the debris belongs to her," said Sanyu, who was sitting next to him.
He thought for a while and asked, "But... the other skin scraps belong to a young man?"
"That's right! There are also a small amount of skin debris, belonging to a young man, very young, no more than twenty years old." Wang Tuhao nodded again and again, "Combining with the remaining demonic power on the altar, the theological experts judged that it was the demon who made the The aging Erica has regained her youth, which gives her the power to take revenge on her enemies."
"Devils don't give people power for nothing." Panda is also a theological expert, and immediately said, "If you want to get their power, you must pay a great price."
"That's right, so there is a lot of blood on the altar, which is beyond imagination. After research, it is judged that there are two people's blood inside. One of them is the same person as the owner of the skin scraps."
"Erica caught a sacrifice, and then she used herself as a sacrifice?" Panda frowned, "In that case, she won't live long."
"Yeah, but this will give her the greatest freedom and will not be restrained by demons."
Panda checked his theological knowledge and nodded lightly.
In this world, the people who know the most about demons are priests. As a priest with a very high skill level, there is a lot of information about demons in Panda's "theological knowledge", so much that he can publish several special books.
According to the information provided by the skill, as long as the person who signed the contract with the demon is willing to offer his life as a sacrifice in advance, the demon will not have any constraints on his behavior in the future, but will give full support— - Because he has fulfilled the contract in advance, and now his life belongs to the devil, as long as the devil is willing, he can end his false life at any time, and then directly collect the soul, without worrying about any possibility of him trying to escape the contract.
Of course, for such contractors, the devil will generally give strong support, allowing them to do whatever they want.
Demons expect chaos and evil in the world, and a person who directly sacrifices his life and soul for a certain goal, as long as he is given enough support, of course he will do crazy things.
If so, why not support him?
In this way, the fraudster Erica has gained the support of the demons. Then she left the secret room and never returned.
The traversers judged that she should have gone to the vicinity of Tarakhan City to establish the manor base.
It took her about a year to build that organization. Considering the reasons for the need to remain private, this efficiency is not slow. The support of the devil can be described as a great contribution.
If all goes well, it won't be long before she begins to carry out her own plans to disrupt and disrupt order in the city of Tarakhan, while secretly spreading the plague.
But Panda's "scourge" made all her previous preparations go to waste. Now she is either dead in the scourge, or she is hiding somewhere silently to regain her strength and prepare for the next trouble.
In her opinion, time is probably on her side.
However, in the eyes of the traversers, it is also the same.
"After talking for a long time, you haven't said why you hung up." Sanyu heard Wang Tuhao almost finished the whole thing, and couldn't help reminding him, "At least tell him about it."
"Why else?" Wang Tuhao squinted at him, "I found the clue, and I'm tired of taking risks. Of course, I'll just hang up and continue to live a stable life. People always have to be stable for a while before they want to. Go out on an adventure."
"what?!"
Panda and Sanyu looked at each other in dismay, and they never imagined that he would return to the city to resurrect for this reason...
