Chapter 600: Long-term plan
“Aren’t you still asleep?”
Aida stood up, rubbed her eyes, and yawned hard.
Li Chengqi was staring at the screen at this time, and replied without raising his head after hearing this: "I'll go there later, I'm afraid I'll have to stay up late because of something."
Looking at the clock, it was already approaching one o'clock in the morning. If it were normal, Li Chengqi would have been dreaming by now.
Mainly because Aldai and the others didn't have any rest. They felt they were close to finding the Demon King's Ring, so they had a hero's feast to relieve their fatigue, and planned to stay up all night to finish it.
They don't have the problem of lack of energy. The fatigue-relieving effect of the Heroes' Banquet is still very good, but Li Chengqi is more or less unable to bear it.
Since graduating from college, Li Chengqi rarely stays up late. His long-term work and rest habits make him feel sleepy at ten o'clock in the evening, and now he can't stand it anymore.
He reached out to the refrigerator, and a can of Red Bull flew out and landed in Li Chengqi's hand. He had to pick it up anyway.
On the screen, Aldai and the other three were staring at the empty hall in a daze. Since the images they saw directly affected their brains, Li Chengqi could not see anything.
Specifically what the three saw, they will have to ask Aldai after they return.
However, although the specific image cannot be seen, the conversation between the three people can be seen.
What worries Li Chengqi the most is that Aldai and Zola said that the disappearance of the previous generation of Demon King God may be related to another unidentified god.
As for this unknown identity, the only clue is the man in black who is with the wild bear mercenaries.
Li Chengqi didn't care at first, but now after hearing what Aldai and the others said, he really did.
So he turned to Eilistraee and asked:
"Have you ever heard of a black circle with a flaming pattern on the outside?"
Perhaps because Eilistraee was a dark elf, she didn't mind staying up late, but Eldas could barely keep her eyes open.
"Sounds like Cyric, the Prince of Lies. His holy symbol is the Black Sun."
This is also a powerful god who once conspired to subvert the gods and tried to make himself the only god, but ultimately failed.
It can be simply understood as a dogecoin with powerful divine power.
It seems that he can match the experience of the Demon King. The Prince of Lies can deceive the Demon King's perception, and can also fool the seven apostles into stealing the Demon King's ring, and let all this happen clearly under the Demon King's nose, without any notice.
But there is something wrong.
"The Holy Emblem of the Prince of Lies does not have flame-like patterns. Although the Holy Emblem of the same god may have some changes in details, there will not be too obvious changes."
For example, Li Chengqi's Holy Emblem is in the shape of a slightly spread hand. Some temples display his Holy Emblem, which is more elaborate. For example, the palm prints on the palm are outlined, and small decorations are added with gold or gems to make it look more detailed. Luxury and the like, but there will be no fundamental changes.
There is an extra flame pattern, which obviously tells you that the god of this holy symbol has a priesthood related to flames, but the Prince of Lies does not have such a thing.
Seeing Eilistraee frowning a little, Li Chengqi suggested:
"It's a bit troublesome to describe it verbally. How about I use my divine power to create illusions and make an image for you to see."
The sleepy Idas suddenly shuddered when she heard this and said quickly: "Don't do it."
The Holy Emblem is the eyes and ears of God, it is not just a pattern. The Holy Emblem cannot be displayed casually, especially in the hands of another god.
"The details of the verbal description are enough. But there are black circular patterns. Those with such elements are usually evil gods."
Eldas and Eilistraee are gods of the neutral and good camp respectively, so they may not know much about the evil god camp.
And speaking of evil gods...
Tarona, the goddess of plague, is a veteran evil god.
Perhaps because of the plague and disease, Talona usually looked pale and sickly. When Li Chengqi stayed up late, she had fallen asleep on the sofa, but her style of painting looked almost like someone who was critically ill... …
Aidas ran up quickly and said, "Wake up."
Although it looked like a gentle slap on the face to try to wake up Tarona, it was difficult to tell whether Aidas took the opportunity to retaliate, because the sound of the slap was a bit loud.
It felt like Tarona might be beaten to death if she didn't take a breath.
As if waking up from a nightmare, she took a deep breath and then opened her eyes.
"Huh? What's wrong? Why do I feel like someone is hitting me?"
"That's your illusion. Wake up quickly. I have something to ask you."
Immediately, Adasi repeated Li Chengqi's question to Talona.
After hearing this, the latter said:
"Black Sun? Fire Pattern? Oh, I know."
Does she really know?
"That's the evil emblem of Imix."
"What is Imix?"
"Haven't you heard of it? The Harper has obviously been tracking down the cult of Imix."
The Harper Alliance is an organization active in various mortal planes. Its main mission is to prevent all dark and evil conspiracies against the mortal world from the dark. It can be said to be the natural enemy of cultists and evil believers.
In the Harpers Alliance, many are rangers, druids, and rogues.
This is because the Gods of Nature are sponsors of the Harpers Alliance. As one of the Gods of Nature, Idas is naturally a sponsor. However, the sponsors do not know what the organization they sponsor is doing.
It's a bit outrageous.
But then I thought about it, it was normal to put it on Aidas...
"Imix is an evil fire elemental prince who lives in the fire elemental plane. He has formed many cults. The only one who is still alive now is the Original Secret Vulcan Cult."
"What kind of cult is this? Is Imix strong?"
"The Original Mystic Vulcan Cult is also a very explosive group among cults. They say that the flames at the beginning of the world will restore everything to the eternal silence and so on. They often carry out terrorist attacks. Due to their lunatic characteristics, even if In our cult, this is the type that almost no one wants to deal with.”
Tarona's church is also a cult, and its style of painting is very Dogecoin, for example, it deliberately poisons the water sources of villages or towns, spreading plague everywhere, and so on.
But this operation has a strong purpose. After all, Tarona is the goddess of plague, and her mission is to spread the plague.
The original Mystic Vulcan Cult is a type of people who have brain diseases and do not seek treatment. The so-called terrorist attacks have no purpose at all, they are just pure intentions.
Therefore, it is very explosive even among cults. Even if they are also cults, no one wants to deal with these lunatics.
"As for Imix? His situation is rather strange. In terms of ability, he can even have half-divine power, but he can grant some magical powers. He is roughly the same as a demon lord. He cannot be considered a god at all."
The more Li Chengqi heard, the more something seemed wrong.
It's unlikely that such a thing can defeat the Demon King God who was a powerful god back then, right?
"I don't know. I have never dealt with Imix, nor have I dealt with the previous generation of demon kings and gods. I will go back and ask Farazma and the others in two days. Maybe the powerful gods that existed in ancient times may know. I’ll tell you what to order when I come next time.”
After saying that, Talona fell asleep as if the power had been cut off. Edas hurriedly pulled her up:
"Go back to your room and sleep!"
"You all go to bed, you don't have to stay with me."
Li Chengqi returned his attention to the screen. This matter probably needs to be discussed in the long run.
