Chapter 146 Oracle (Second update, please subscribe)
Returning to the guest room prepared for himself by Count Wicks Targett, Zuo Si immediately appraised the amulet.
It turned out to be a [Damage Absorption Amulet].
Whether it is a pure physical attack or various forms of energy attacks, it can absorb part of the damage for the wearer.
Although it does not absorb much, it can turn death into serious injury and serious injury into minor injury at critical moments.
It can be said to be quite practical.
It just so happened that Zuo Si was missing an amulet right now, so he just put it on his neck.
Just when he was about to eat something and then lie on the bed for a good sleep, there was a sudden knock on the closed door.
The soldier who was accustomed to guarding the door immediately stood up alertly and asked through the door: "Who is it?"
"I am Jaheira! I want to talk to your master. .”
Jahira's highly identifiable voice came through the crack in the door.
“Let her in.”
Zuo Si gave the instruction immediately after thinking for a moment.
He also happened to want to get some information about Calim Port from the two Harpers.
Soon, as the soldiers opened the door, Jahira and Khalid, who had been waiting outside for a long time, walked straight in.
Especially Jaheira, who has a relatively high perception attribute, immediately realized how dangerous the warrior guarding the door of the room was. She subconsciously looked at it carefully, and then said straight to the point: "You have one that belongs to Ciri. It's the church's box, right?"
"How did you know?"
Zuo Si asked pretending to be surprised.
“Not long after you left Calim Port with the caravan, someone deliberately spread gossip in the dark. According to the intelligence obtained by our Harper Alliance, Cyric Church has sent a team to prepare He launched an interception on the way and snatched the box back."
Jahira did not hide anything and openly told everything she knew.
Because she understands that only in this way can she show sincerity and win the trust of the other party.
"Someone is deliberately spreading gossip in secret?"
Zuo Si frowned immediately after hearing this.
After several minutes, he continued to ask: "Then do you know what is in that box?"
Jahila shook her head gently: "I don't know. The only thing we know so far is that it was originally a sacrifice that the Cyric Church intended to offer to its gods on holy days. It may have come from Baldur's Gate in the north. If possible, can I take a look at the box. ?”
"No problem."
Without saying anything, Zuo Si took out the small box made of fine gold and covered with magical runes from his satchel.
In an instant!
Both Harpers were attracted by the strong protective power on the box.
Jahira, who has studied divine arts, reached out and touched the surface carefully, and then couldn't help but exclaimed: "This... this is the most advanced seal! Oh my god ! No wonder the people in Cyric’s church are going crazy! I bet the contents inside must be extraordinary.”
Zuo Si rolled his eyes angrily: "I know this without you having to tell me. But the question now is, what should I do with this box? If I throw it away, those madmen from Cyric Church will continue to chase it. Kill me?"
"No! You can't throw it away! What's more, they already know that it was you, so they will still throw it away. Launching retaliatory attacks and assassinations."
With just one sentence, Jaheira gave up Zuo Si's idea of avoiding trouble by discarding the box.
After all, most of Cyric's followers and believers are lunatics and lunatics.
The best way to get these guys to be honest is to have a brutal massacre.
Use blood and death to tell them what the price will be for provoking the wrong people.
Thinking of this, Zuo Si couldn't help but sigh slightly: "Hey - do you have any way to undo these seals one by one without destroying the things inside?" "Not now. But when we arrive in Ascatla, I will be able to find experts who are proficient in this field. In addition, in order to protect the safety of you and the box, we have decided to complete the rest of the journey with you.”
Obviously, although Zuo Si has shown strong spellcasting ability, Jaheira still feels a little uneasy.
"If the Church of Cyric has targeted me, then why don't you let me attract their attention and you take the box and sneak back to Askatra by boat?" Zuo Si proposed another solution. .
But Jaheira immediately vetoed: "No! The other party will definitely use magic and divine magic to locate this box.
I can't be like you, using magic to cover the detection 24 hours a day.
< br>Once discovered, those guys will immediately use teleportation magic to attack.
There is nowhere to escape in the vast sea. The two of us cannot withstand the siege of so many enemies."
"It's really troublesome! There better be a treasure of sufficient value in this thing. Otherwise, I will be sorry for the time and energy I need to spend on this matter."
Zuo Si complained while stuffing the box back into his satchel.
If he had known this thing was so sensitive, he wouldn't have kept it as a trophy.
The soldier’s original prediction was indeed correct.
Alena's existence itself is a huge problem.
Fortunately!
After getting along for a long time, Zuo Si has found the trick and knows how to make this follower become more honest and obedient.
......
At the same time, far in the ruins of "Fort Tessel" in the north of Mailatma.
A group of mysterious people wearing black cloaks are gathering together, kneeling on the ground and loudly chanting psalms in praise of the gods.
Soon, the leader was enveloped in a dark red light emitted from the altar.
He suddenly stood up and shouted to his companions behind him with a look of fanaticism: "Cheer! My dear brothers and sisters!
Just now! The great poisonous lady, the mother of all plagues ——Talona has given the oracle!
The only chosen person she appointed in the mortal world has arrived!
The body of this son of the plague contains extremely terrifying viruses and viruses! Bacteria!
And have successfully destroyed a world!
Billions of living beings died in fear of plague and disease!
Their despair and wailing passed through countless planes and crystal walls, echoing in the ears of the great Talona!
All we have to do now is find him and bathe him in the Toxic Lady's grace. "
"Then what are you waiting for? We should leave immediately! ”
The other person also stood up, his eyes flashing with excitement and anticipation.
The leader gently patted his companion on the shoulder and explained: "Don't worry! The poisonous lady also gave a message in the oracle, that is, other gods have also noticed the arrival of the elect, and are very likely to do something. Some despicable means. We must be careful and never let those enemies succeed."
"Huh! No matter who the enemy is, they are dead this time. The elites of all the temples and churches in the surrounding areas."
"Yes! Soon, all the mortals in this world will tremble in front of Talona's power. The country will pay the price for its stupidity."
"May the goddess and her chosen people bring down the plague of death, causing these godless countries and cities to collapse and perish in pain and despair."< br>
“Come on! Let us set off immediately to find news about the voters.”
It didn't take long for these priests and believers of Talona, the goddess of poison and disease, to turn around and leave the ruins in groups.
There are quite a few of them, hundreds of them.
This is already a quite powerful force.
Especially those high-level priests.
Almost every one has the ability to spread horrific plagues in densely populated areas.
