Vol 6 Chapter 41: Weird event
"Worship the demon incident?" When Anna asked this sentence, her heart was very curious. Except for the veritable murderous mania and the abnormal blood cravings, I am afraid that only real lunatics will worship chaotic demons !!
What wish is better to believe in the Duke of the Devil, at least they have to be "integrity rules" countless times, so it is not surprising that a single guy or two worships the devil, so many people die at the scene is quite strange.レ m ♠ 思 ♥ 路 ♣ 客 レ.
Katrina also thinks so. The reason why the Magic Council issued this compulsory task was because of the words "worship of the devil". It changed to believe in the devil and died during the sacrifice. The council may not be so detailed. Investigate the matter.
Few powerful demons are trying to develop their own church. They may have considered this issue, but they soon left similar ideas behind due to their own chaos, being killed and affected by blood. So, , Such a large-scale worship of the demon incident itself is a subtle and inexplicable thing.
The wine owner Gulff held a clean fur, and carefully wiped the glass in front of him. It seemed that he did not let go of any flaws. He laughed and said, "It is indeed a worship of the devil. At least the church has conducted a detailed investigation. The published conclusion was 'worship of the demon.' "
"But the church may not cover up the real situation deliberately so as not to cause panic, isn't there no precedent?" Anna was quite dissatisfied with Gulf's answer. She has been a mercenary for three or four years. There are many things, and several churches have deliberately concealed the truth for some reason, and they did not accept their findings without doubt.
As a mercenary for more than ten years, the owner of the tavern in 1978, is willing to believe that the conclusion of the investigation must be confirmed by his own secret channels.
Gulff saw the two girls looking at themselves with the same green eyes like the water of the lake, and tapped on the table gently: "This is intelligence to be charged, but ..."
Having said that, he looked at the mercenaries at the door and kept pouring in, and he smiled: "But the two ladies seem to make my pub business better, so I will tell you for free."
Anna glanced back and said with a smile: "It's not because of Sister Katrina. I often drink with your uncle you, and I haven't seen a large group of" wolves "in the wilderness."
"Oh, your name is Katrina. This is a common female name in Calcutt. You are also a local?" Gulf said with a smile.
Before Katrina answered, Anna said, "No, Sister Katrina is from a noble family in another province."
"Aristocratic family background? No wonder there is such a temperament, which is very rare in mercenaries." Gulf thoughtfully, "In fact, I always feel that you are a little familiar with Katrina, I seem to have seen you somewhere ... "
Katrina's face was slightly dimmed. Her family had been here for two or three hundred years, and her own bloodline must have inherited some of the features of her ancestors, and she thought to herself: "After the council controls it later, Shahran Empire. When telecommunications and discussions become easier, when I become a high-level magician, I will build a magic tower here ... "
"Uncle Gulf, you know every beautiful lady, tell me information! Hurry up, Anna points out the truth.
Gulf put down his fur, rubbed his forehead, and whispered: "The first thing that happened was the servant of the villa. His name was Ivan. When he went to clean the hall, he saw that the hall was full of blood and dead bodies. Nobles, there are knights, there are ordinary people, there are artists, there are also magicians ... "
Because of the existence of St. Ivan, the most common name of the Shahran Empire is Ivan.
"Magic?" Anna could not help but exclaim a little, it was very difficult to meet a formal magician in the Shahran Empire.
Katrina's eyes converged, and her expression became focused.
"Yes, according to Ivan's description, I confirmed that the badge worn by the magician was a first-class arcane badge, a second-round magic badge, and depending on his physical characteristics, I asked someone to ask him before he came to Karl. Not long after Carter City, the materials for the magician needed to go to the forest, to find and buy from the ground. "Gulf simply talked about the appearance of the magician, especially mentioning the mole next to his left eye.
Katrina nodded slightly, indeed the dead magician.
Gulff continued: "It is a weird event that about thirty or forty people of different identities died in the same hall. Even more weird is that there is an altar in the hall zhōngyāng. Although there is nothing on the altar, But there is a chaotic smell of killing and destruction. "
"How did these people die, commit suicide, or homicide?" Katrina carefully asked questions consistent with her current status, a question that a slightly curious and experienced female mercenary should ask, from Anna It can be seen that she also wants to ask this question.
Gulf's voice was even lower: "This is the third weird place. These people killed and killed each other, and not one-on-one. They belong to a chaotic group killing, and some of the dead have left and right sides. Fatal wound. "
"A magician will be killed by ordinary people and artists?" Not to mention Katrina, even Anna felt unacceptable. "Are there knights?"
"There was a knight, but he was also killed." Speaking of this matter, Gulf could not help but a trace of fear appeared on his face. "There were no traces of the knight's use of blood power on the scene, and there were no fluctuations and phenomena of magical residue. Explain that at the time they were 'killing feasts' under the identity of ordinary people, and, looking at the body and position, no one tried to escape ... "
This is more detailed than the information given to Katrina by the Magic Council. She deliberately said: "Will it be the effect of magic in magic? I heard that when some cults sacrifice, the altar will send out magic powers that affect people's minds. So that believers can do incredible things. "
"Sure enough, she is a noble lady. She has more contact information than me, and she knows more about cults than I do." Gulff put away his expression of fear and laughed with a smile, "It is possible, so it is said to worship the devil. , At least the devil will not let his followers kill each other, but will let them die in a more valuable place, while other cults are closer to the devil's approach, even if he wants to use the killing to obtain pure faith, he will not choose his own Believers, of course, I do n’t know how the church determined that the dead were demon believers, maybe they were just 'ordinary people' ... "
"It sounds weird, and it's much scarier than the bard's story." Anna patted herself on the chest. "Uncle Gulff, what else is weird?"
"Strange?" Gulf recalled carefully, "their expressions seemed serene and peaceful after death, as if they weren't killing each other and dying, but getting understood, yes, Ivan felt cold when he entered the hall. , But at the end of May, which was quite warm. "
Anna's curiosity was inspired to the greatest extent, and she kept asking about this, but Gulff knew only so much, and couldn't help sighing: "There may be more weird signs on the scene, but Ivan was Scared, not much can be noticed, and after the church investigation, worried that the demon breath would affect the city of Calcutt, and the villa was cleaned with the Holy Light, so even if there is, we will never know. "
"The church cleaned the villa with holy light ..." Katrina whispered again, which was a great annoyance to her investigation, indicating that it was difficult to find valuable traces at the scene.
Then she asked curiously: "Isn't Ivan remembering anything later? It's been months."
"Yeah, yeah." Anna nodded in agreement, and a break in the middle of a "story" always made her worry.
Gulff twitched his lips, trying to squeeze out a wretched smile, but how this smile looked panic and fearful: "Ivan had nightmares every day because he saw the **** scene of the killing, and the church gave him very It ’s a big reward, so he often comes to me to drink. Only when he is drunk can't remember anything, he can sleep peacefully. However, one week after the incident, he accidentally fell into Nieger passing through the city because of drunkenness. The tributary of the Ning River drowned. "
"This ..." Anna felt a chill pouring into her heart and never dared to ask again.
Katrina also feels similar, but it is more jǐng alert and frustrated. Although all the clues are cut off, she can complete the task with the data from the current investigation, but as a sè Warlock, her curiosity and exploration of things is very strong, so she wants to investigate more: "Do you want to sneak into the court of Calcutt and peek at their investigation data?"
She has no confidence in this, because such a big city must be chaired by a Cardinal.
Ana, frightened by the "worship of the demon," drank a few glasses of wine and stunned Katrina to return to the hotel. At this time, Yakov, who had gone to the city hall to report his blood-raising events, had returned.
He was having a hard time concealing sharing with other mercenaries that he was going to be banished as an official knight after a week, but after seeing that both Anna and Katrina had pale faces, they smiled and asked with concern. "What happened?"
Seeing that there were no strangers nearby, Anna told the information in the pub originally.
"Official magician ... what is his physical appearance?" After listening intently to Yakov he asked a little hesitantly.
Anna pointed to her eyes: "There is a mole on the left eye."
"Moles ..." Jakov repeated, without saying anything.
Katrina glanced at him before returning to the room with excuses.
In the middle of the night, a sudden wind flickered into Katrina's room, sneaking towards the aristocracy.
Before she left, considering that it would be inconvenient to cast magic in the Shahran Empire, she exchanged a bottle of blood stimulating potion and became an official knight-after a long-term improvement of the magic council, this potion inspired The strength of the has been no less than inspired by itself, is no longer a pseudo-knight, but will still leave hidden dangers, unable to promote the big knight.
In the roaring cold wind at night, Katrina, which inspired the "blizzard" blood, seems to be integrated with the surrounding environment. Although the church has cleaned the villa with the holy light, she still has to investigate it on the ground, this kind of thing is like For experiments, you must verify it yourself to believe, and it is counterintuitive that the formal magician didn't come to Calcutt to believe in a demon before long. (To be continued.)
