Chapter 142 Deadly Conspiracy and Important Intelligence (4k8)
Luo Xiu glanced at Anthony beside him, and he saw an extremely solemn expression on Anthony's face.
"...What happened? What are they talking about?" Luo Xiu asked tentatively.
Anthony's face was solemn. He kept monitoring at the same time, and after organizing his words, he said: "They seem to be talking about something that I don't quite understand... war, sacrifice, 'twilight' ceremony... …”
After Anthony pondered for a while, he continued: "Luo Xiu, your guess is indeed correct. They are indeed planning something bad."
After speaking, Anthony stopped talking and continued to focus on monitoring, trying to pry out more information.
And Luo Xiu no longer disturbed him, but secretly chewed on these new words.
Luo Xiu can probably understand that "war" refers to "revenge war", that is, "judgment war"! As for the "sacrifice" and "twilight ceremony", Luo Xiu was not very clear about them. They should also be related to the trial war.
I wonder what other important information Anthony can eavesdrop on... Luo Xiu thought to himself, and at the same time spread his perception to the surroundings to guard against unknown dangers.
…
In Anthony's perception.
At the same time, he kept monitoring the enemy, and the old and vague voice he heard before quickly disappeared. The next moment, another voice sounded.
It was a sharp and high-pitched male voice. The voice lowered its tone as low as possible and said:
"It is indeed necessary to restart the 'Twilight' ritual. However, the 'container' you mentioned, that Fabion... How sure are you that you can capture him and hold him in your hands?"
Fabian...Bishop Fabian? ! Anthony subconsciously wanted to exclaim, but his reason stopped him from doing so in time.
The voice of the person who was speaking now had a sharper tone than the old and fuzzy voice before. Therefore, it was easier for Anthony to distinguish what he was saying and be able to hear the complete sentences clearly.
"It turns out that the incomplete name of 'Fabi...' that the old voice mentioned before turned out to be our bishop..."
Anthony thought to himself, and at the same time he heard the sharp voice continue:
"Don't underestimate the revenge of the 'Holy Court'. At this point, we have all suffered a great loss from them, especially you, the 'Blood of Thorns'."
"……yes."
The old and vague voice sounded again, but this time it was in a humble and respectful tone: "Lord Koros... I... was... the bishop was seriously injured... in the past... now... it is different."
Every time this old and fuzzy voice sounded, the sounds Anthony could hear would become intermittent, and he could only barely distinguish part of the speech.
"Container...don't worry...the gray blood curse..."
"..."
The old voice stopped abruptly. Then, the sharp voice of the man known as "Koros" sounded again:
"...The Gray Blood Curse. Over the years, the blood in his body should have transformed into enough gray blood."
"This has met the conditions needed to serve as a container to welcome the arrival of 'dusk'."
"It's just that I still have the same problem."
"Are you sure you can capture Fabian and firmly control him?"
"..."
When Kross asked this question, all the sounds disappeared in the next moment, and the scene fell into a strange silence.
After a long time, the old and vague voice suddenly raised its tone and said:
"...In fact, we are preparing to conduct a large-scale sacrificial ceremony. I will let my Thorns go to attack the [Intelligence] Sage Tower in the Alchemy Yard in Sina City, where I am eager to Something that needs to be taken back.”
"..."
"You want to attack the Alchemy Institute?"
Kross sounded confused, "'Lord of Blood Sacrifice', shouldn't you directly attack the church of [Glory] Holy Court? According to the information obtained by my 'Black Fang', Fabian has not left the church for a long time. We It is speculated that his condition no longer allows him to be active outside. "
"This is the best opportunity." Koros added, "If you all go out, Bishop Fabian of the Holy Court Church will definitely be unable to resist. This is in line with our interests and purposes."
"..."
The "Lord of the Blood Sacrifice" was silent for a while, then said: "Sir Executioner, I want to launch an attack on the 'Alchemy Institute'. Naturally, I have more priority interests and purposes. Even if it is against the Principality of Darkness, this is not the case. Better, more efficient arrangements.”
"If I can achieve my goal this time, I can see the light of day again from the 'bottom of the blood cave'! Believe me, Mr. Executioner, wait until the moment of revenge comes so that I can go to the battlefield. This is better than letting me go to the battlefield." 'Twilight' falls on Fabian's body, which is more valuable."
"If my idea can be implemented and my purpose can be achieved, we can also firmly control Fabian in our hands. And it is you who arranged all this, Mr. Kross. You may be able to rely on With this credit, he became one of the twenty-three chief executioners!”
"..."
This time, it was Executioner Koros's turn to be silent.
After a long while, Kross's voice continued: "'Lord of Blood Sacrifice,' I think what I need to tell you is this. Restart the ritual of 'Twilight'. This is your master, the chief executioner. ——Lord Fafnir’s request. I’m just passing the message on your behalf.”
"But, Lord Koros."
The voice of the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice" suddenly smiled strangely and said: "You are moved by my proposal, right? If not, you would reject me in a stronger tone."
"Actually, you don't need to take into account Lord Fafnir's orders. Now you are the actual controller of all the hidden organizations directly under the principality of Sina City. You have the full power to deal with special matters. You only need to report to Lord Fafnir afterwards. Just report it.”
"..."
"Executioner" Kross, he was indeed moved.
As if after thinking about something, Kross finally said:
"You may be right."
"'Lord of Blood Sacrifice', just assume that I will agree with your idea."
"So, tell me. What are you going to do?"
"..."
"It's actually quite simple."
"The Lord of Blood Sacrifice" said: "Actually, as long as my 'Blood of Thorns' are deployed in full force to harass the 'Alchemy Yard' first, the 'Holy Judges' of the Holy Court Church will not sit idly by."
"I have investigated clearly. In the morning three days later, the great generals of the 'Alchemy Institute' will go to the main city of Songyuan to participate in a large alchemy ceremony. By that time, the defense of the Alchemy Institute will It’s unprecedentedly empty, which is good for our actions.”
"I will separate two groups of people. One group will be led by Sethis to hunt down a Great Knowledgeer. The rest of the Thorns will take the opportunity to capture the Alchemy Institute and let their alchemists release their weapons to the church. The sound of wind.”
"Hmph. When the time comes, it is absolutely impossible for the church's Holy Judges to sit idly by. And for serious situations like this, their 'priests' will inevitably be dispatched. When the time comes, it will be the church in their Holy Court that is left empty. ”
"Then... we, the Blood of Thorns, will hold back those Holy Judges. As for the church that is guarding the emptiness, our friends from the Original Sect will help us deal with it."
"..."
The scene fell into an eerie silence once again, everyone was thinking deeply.
At this moment, the person who is most frightened and surprised in his heart is Anthony!
——They are actually planning such a terrifying conspiracy! Their spearhead is not even simply directed at the Holy Court Church or the Alchemy Institute, but against the two legitimate forces of the [Glory] Holy Court and [Intelligence] Tower of Sages, a terrorist attack that is no less than a declaration of war!
What are they for? The war they talk about, a war of "revenge"...is this their purpose?
Anthony’s mind was thinking rapidly at this time.
Fortunately, I happened to hear the content of their plot!
If their plot is allowed to be put into action smoothly, the consequences will be disastrous... Thinking of this, Anthony suddenly felt a sense of fear.
Luo Xiu beside him, using the dim moonlight, watched the expression on Anthony's face change several times, secretly guessing that he must have heard something that was not good.
However, Luo Xiu was not in a hurry to ask questions. Anthony was in a focused state at this time, and he seemed to be ready to pry for more information.
…
In Anthony's perception, after the "Executioner", "Lord of Blood Sacrifice" and others were silent for a while, a third voice finally sounded among them.
"... We, the 'original sect', have an indelible blood feud with the Church of Sina City that believes in [Glory]. We don't care what you want to do. We have always had only one purpose, and that is to make Sina City The church in Nancheng is beyond redemption.”
"Haha, this is the reason why I invited you here." Executioner Koros suddenly laughed and said, "Bishop of the Ancestral Spirit, the Principality and the Theocracy have always been enemies in the open and friends in the dark."
"...I said, I don't care about these." The voice of Bishop Zuling said, "I can participate in your plan, but I want you to pay the price. This is our law."
"That's no problem." Koros said, "I can, in my own name, give you five 'rare' or above ancient inheritance scrolls, as well as two 'epic' and one 'legendary' ancient inheritance scroll rubbings. And you need to capture Fabian, the bishop of the Sina City Church, and hand him over to us."
"...I agreed."
Bishop Zuling said: "Then, the time of agreement will be at noon three days later."
"'Blood of Thorns', first occupy their alchemy courtyard and attract the attention of the Holy Court Church's Holy Judge. We will wait until it is confirmed that the Church's Holy Judge and priests have taken action, and then we will attack their church and communicate with them. Fabian's seat."
"……Can."
The voice of Executioner Kross sounded, and he continued: "Then, let me serve as a witness. 'Original Sect' and 'Blood of Thorns', you are on the road to revenge on the road to victory."
"But, before that..."
The voice of Executioner Kross suddenly became a bit sharper. In an instant, the terrifying spirituality in his body spread outwards, shrouding the entire surrounding area under the weight of his spirituality!
——Not good! Alarm bells rang in the hearts of Anthony and Luo Xiu at the same time!
"Executioner" Koros, he is a saint of the fifth level of [Ku Tu]. His spirituality emanates in an instant, which shows that he has entered a state of fighting!
The muscles on Anthony's limbs stiffened suddenly. Facing the high-ranking transcendent who spanned two levels, Anthony instinctively wanted to escape.
However, just when Anthony was about to stand up and prepare to run away in the direction he came from, he suddenly felt a hand grabbing his arm.
Anthony looked at the owner of that hand with suspicious eyes.
He only saw the owner of that hand, Luo Xiu Carlos, looking at him with firm eyes.
"...Don't panic, let alone move."
Luo Xiu said in a very low voice: "Calm down, you can see clearly."
"..."
Hearing this, Anthony struggled internally for a while, but finally followed Luo Xiu's instructions and crouched down again.
When Anthony forced himself to calm down and became calmer, he realized how stupid his previous impulse caused by fear was.
Before he came here, he had discussed with Luo Xiu that even if the situation really deteriorated to the point where he needed to run away, he should stay as concealed and evacuate as quickly as possible.
The way to evacuate is definitely not to run wildly. That will only increase the risk of being discovered, overtaken and eradicated by the enemy!
Moreover, when Anthony looked at Luo Xiu, although there was a hint of fear in Luo Xiu's eyes, he still remained calm and collected.
"……call."
Anthony then took a deep breath and looked in the direction of Luo Xiu's finger.
From the cracks in the ruins, Anthony could vaguely make out the figures of the enemies.
Anthony only saw that the eyes of the enemies were all on the left side of the stronghold, which was in the opposite direction to where he was lurking.
Then, a man in the field, wearing pitch black armor and a windproof hood, pulled out a long knife burning with black flames from the scabbard behind him, and then moved it toward the front of him. Cut down heavily on the dangerous wall!
——Shua! boom! The chopping waves of burning black flames instantly blasted the three-story dangerous wall into powder! And behind the dangerous wall, two panicked figures flashed out at the next moment!
These two figures are wearing robes and clothes belonging to the "Alchemy Institute", the tower of [Intellect] sages. Their identity is a "senior alchemist" with the third destiny of [Intellect], and An "alchemist" with a second destiny.
"Haha..." Executioner Koros, his face was full of joy at this time.
"I have discovered you a long time ago, the little bugs of the 'Alchemy Institute'..."
"Let you hear our plan, and then let you die in despair... Tsk, how wonderful..."
"……you!"
An alchemist cursed loudly in the direction of Kolos: "You dirty criminals... your plan can never succeed! It will never be possible!"
"Oh? Really?" Koros looked playful, and the long knife in his hand ignited with ominous black flames again.
The deep light of the black flame only flickered in front of the alchemist who had just shouted, and he suddenly felt the world spinning. A chaotic black mist shrouded his eyes, and he lost all consciousness.
"Executioner" Koros took action, and in an instant, his sword cut off the alchemist's head!
Beside the alchemist, the "senior alchemist" with the third destiny of [Intellect], before he had time to feel sad for the sacrifice of his colleagues, he only saw one person in front of him, wearing crimson. The old man in the red striped robe waved his arm gently.
——Bah! A skeleton flashing with a strange green light instantly emerged from the air and flew towards the senior alchemist at high speed!
The alchemist was about to resist, but as soon as his hand touched the demon puppet seal around his waist, the skeleton flew in front of him!
--boom! The skull exploded suddenly, releasing a terrifying tremor of destruction, which instantly turned the senior alchemist's body into rubbish!
"...Okay. Now, all the eavesdropping mice have been dealt with."
"Executioner" Kross took back the black flame sword, with a ferocious smile on his face, and said:
"Everyone, I wish you a happy cooperation."
"... I wish you a happy cooperation." The ancestral spirit bishop and the master of the blood sacrifice echoed in unison.
…
…
"Huh...huh..."
Anthony held his knees with both hands, and the cold sweat on his forehead and back couldn't stop breaking out. The panic and fear in his heart made his body tremble uncontrollably.
Just now, "Executioner" Koros and Bishop Zuling took action to kill the two [intellectual] alchemists. Taking advantage of the moment of spiritual chaos at the scene, Luo Xiu quickly evacuated the scene with Anthony.
"In such an environment, being able to escape alive is already the greatest luck..."
Beside Anthony, Luo Xiu spoke.
His face was no longer forced to be calm, but showed the same expression of fear.
"I heard... quite important information."
After a while, Anthony felt calmer and said to Luo Xiu:
"What exactly did they say...Luo Xiu, I will tell you one by one on the way."
"Now, our top priority is to meet with Bishop Fabian immediately!"
