My players are so fierce.

Chapter 434 433. Avalon’s pollution and speculation about the appearance of gods
"These people can't be let go!"

Everyone did not leave immediately after handling the follow-up matters at the Snegov family.

They waited until the Thorn Clan sent someone to take over the property and told each other about the treatment of the innocent people rescued from the gang prison.

Because the Thorn vampires have been dealing with shadow things for many years, they have a good understanding of certain evil objects and evil spells. After seeing the strange patterns engraved on the prisoners, the local person in charge of the Thorn clan immediately stopped:

"This is some kind of transformation magic originating from the Underdark. We don't know much about it, but what is certain is that these guys have become part of a large-scale magic. They must be guarded until the threat is removed! "

Having said this, the thorn vampire glanced at the rescued civilians with a cold gaze, and she whispered:

"According to our past style of behavior, these guys need to be killed to ensure that they are all over. However, Grand Duke Shani has specifically ordered that matters related to the Snegov family be handled by you, so the fate of these miserable people has also fallen to you. in hand.

my compatriots"

She looked at Sister Pomegranate and Uncle Jusha.

When he saw the iconic big bald head of the giant shark, even the leader of the Thorns clan couldn't hold back if he wanted to maintain his cold temperament.

The corner of her mouth twitched, and she tried hard to ignore the strange posture of the bald vampire with a strong presence in front of her, which was not at all in line with the elegance and elegance of midnight, and was still poking his head. She said to Sister Pomegranate:

"The advice I can give you is don't ask for trouble. When you are unable to determine the function of the talismans on these people, killing them is the simplest and most harmless option. Of course, I have also heard about you blood vultures. The clan has been doing some weird things recently, some of which are strange actions that break the moral constraints of the blood clan, so this is just a suggestion.

The portal back to Scarlet Keep has been prepared for you.

Don't worry, the spellcasters in our clan who are good at space psychic powers are in charge personally and will not send you into the astral realm. "

"grateful."

Sister Pomegranate snorted.

Although he was impatient, he still expressed his gratitude to the other party for that damn "little suggestion" with a standard blood vulture ceremony.

But to be honest, killing these innocent people has never been among Sister Pomegranate's choices, not only because she is a lawful sect, but also because Turner, the master monk of the Shado-Pan, is watching.

If she dared to order the execution of these people, Turner would probably fall out on the spot.

Alas, although ordinary warrior monks are not a special profession in the Oath Keeper sequence like ring-keeping monks, some of the "hidden constraints" of this profession do exist.

No matter what kind of legend they are in, warrior monks are known for their strong willpower. If you want to cultivate a will as strong as steel, these troublesome rules and precepts are necessary.

Sister Pomegranate watched the members of the Thorn Clan disappear into the Snegov Family Fortress. She turned back and discussed with Brother Cat for a few words, then agreed with Teacher Li and Master Yang, and then walked to Master Turner.

She said seriously:

"We need to bring these people who have homes and cannot return to Scarlet Castle first. Before Mrs. Tris confirms that they are harmless, we cannot just release them into society. After all, this is a matter related to Dusk. No matter how vigilant we are, we must Nothing too much.”

"Well, it's a good choice."

Turner was not involved in the decision-making process, but he was very pleased with the choices his "apprentices" made.

Whether it is the handling of ill-gotten gains or the acceptance of these poor people in front of him, they are very consistent with the decency and mentality that a lawful monk should have.

This made him more and more satisfied with the Shado-Pan's behavior.

For a monk who is accustomed to a "lone wolf" life, staying with these lawful people can always greatly relieve the discomfort in his heart.

"In order to avoid long nights and dreams, let's set off and return now."

Turner glanced back at the big ice sculpture of "Failed Man" behind him, which was being carried onto a cart by Jusha Bo, A Lin and Star Soul Eagle. He said in a deep voice:
"The binding ice can only maintain freezing for 12 hours, but I suspect Dusk must have left other things in this guy's body. This is not an area we are good at, and must be left to more professional people to handle it.

Although they were unable to directly capture the Twilight Believers who made peace with the Snegov family, being able to bring back such clear clues can still be regarded as a hard-won victory.

Everyone, I have seen your mind and your choices, so starting from tomorrow, I will teach you my experience in the way of the monk!
For the dangerous situation we are about to face, the acquisition of power is necessary to protect us and what we protect from being tainted by darkness.

But let me declare it in advance!

The special training of Winter Wolf Monk will be very hard, I hope you can be mentally prepared. "
-
"The emblem of the Medjeva family is unmistakable! Although the thirteen shadow elf families all use the 'Life Weaver Spider' as their emblem, there are always various embellishments between the family emblems to distinguish them.

The spider of this emblem possesses the fangs of the Shadow Gem, a hallmark of House Medjeva. "

A few hours later, in the underground secret room of the Blood Eagle Corridor, Adele, who was summoned, wore gloves and carefully distinguished the emblems captured by the players from the Snegov family.

Adele's voice was filled with a certain disgust.

She hates everything related to shadow elves, but fate is always so shameless, letting her come into contact with these things related to the quarter of her body's blood again and again, which can even be called It's called the "curse of blood".

"So, the Twilight believers who are secretly connected with the Snegov family come from the dark area under the Eternal Rift."

Murphy sat in a chair with the opened envelope in his hand.

These mice in the dark communicate with each other using code words. On the surface, they look like ordinary letters, but it is very difficult to crack without knowing the encryption method.

Behind him, Tris was setting up a new binding ritual to trap the Twisted Nerubian who was still frozen.

Murphy was very satisfied with the results of Shado-Pan's operation, but he knew very well that the players' responsibilities and missions had been fulfilled. They brought back the evidence they needed for Murphy and Tris, but could they obtain it from this evidence? Collecting the information Murphy needs depends on the methods of the vampire lord and the blood vulture archduke.

"Can you decipher these letters?"

Murphy asked, Adele shook her head and said:

"I was born in the Dark Valley, Master. My understanding of the shadow elves is limited to my hearsay. I have never really lived in the society of the shadow elves, and I do not have a deep understanding of their customs.

But I guess Uncle Bella and Aunt Bernice would be willing to help.

They are all half-elf gladiators born in the city of Medjeva, and they may be familiar with the code words used among these shadow elves.

But I advise you not to have too much confidence. "

The shadow intelligence officer picked up the letters and said softly:

“If even one-third of the shadow elves’ action patterns I know were true, then the hidden cultists among them would not have left such obvious loopholes in their daily work that could be exploited.

I guess, even if Uncle Bella deciphers these code words, it will be difficult for us to directly capture the specific information of the Twilight believer from them.

When it comes to covert operations, the Shadow Elves may be on par with the Thorn Clan.

But when it comes to the skills of hiding oneself and protecting oneself wisely, I guess even a shrewd character like Madam Shani can only become the lord of a city in the society of shadow elves.

Shadow Elf was born from a lie!
They grew up soaking in the pool of conspiracy and absorbing the nutrients of cunning. Every adult male shadow elf has been assassinated at least three times by his peers to ensure that they will not make stupid mistakes when holding important positions in various families.

And every shadow elf woman who lives to adulthood usually has more than ten times the experience of men in this area.
In such a terrible society, it is impossible for a fool who does not know how to hide himself to survive. "

"I have heard about these secrets, but I just can't understand why the shadow elves maintain this social model that is abnormal from any point of view."

Murphy shook his head and said:

"But as Turner said in his report, I am as unsurprised as he is that shadow elves would be involved in Twilight's affairs. But, Adele, have you seen this kind of nerubian before?"

The vampire lord pointed at the frozen spider demon behind him and asked. Adele glanced at the twisted thing, she shook her head and said:
"No, I haven't even heard of it. Apparently my mother hid a lot of the dark things she saw in the elven city in order to protect my young mind.

I'm sorry, Master, but I can't help you much in this matter. "

"It doesn't matter, everyone has something they're not good at."

Murphy waved his hand in a gentle tone, stood up and said:

"Then please invite Sir Bella to decipher these letters for us. I will share with you any findings here as soon as possible."

"No, Master, I don't need it."

Adele took a step back holding the letter. Her beautiful and increasingly charming face was full of disgust and resistance. She said to Murphy seriously:

"I don't want to hear anything related to the shadow elves. I have no interest in the rats born in the underworld, but I know this is my job.

I'll keep an eye on this.But you really don’t have to go out of your way to share this with me. "

"Well, I respect your choice."

Murphy nodded and watched as Adele performed a very elegant ladylike etiquette for him and then turned and left. The moment the door of the underground secret room closed, Tris, who was busy, suddenly said:

"Her collar is a little lower."

"what?"

Murphy pretended not to notice and turned around with a surprised expression and said:

"Why do you pay attention to these weird details?"

“Because my stupid little boyfriend didn’t realize that his obscene subordinate was trying to seduce him, or maybe he had actually noticed it a long time ago, but just pretended not to see it out of some male bad taste but didn’t explicitly stop it. "

Tris said calmly:

"If this continues, I won't be surprised if one day Adele appears in front of you wearing only a bra. Hey, she is such a clumsy girl who doesn't know how to use her advantages.

It can be seen that she is actually very anxious in this regard, but the advancement of the blood contract makes her involuntarily want to show her charm in front of you.

She may not even realize it herself. "

"Trish."

Murphy covered his eyes in pain, and lengthened his voice with a pleading tone. The Scarlet Witch covered her mouth and smiled, then coughed twice and said:

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Move the big ice block over. I will bind it again and conduct a series of studies on it."

Murphy immediately stepped forward and used his spiritual energy to lift the frozen ice and push it to the center of the binding ceremony set by Tris.

As Cuisi started this ritual, streams of purple-red light quickly converged and intertwined to isolate the inside and outside of the ceremony. It was not just physical isolation, but also exquisite control of space and time.

Let the time flow speed in the cage be reduced to a point where Tris can freely manipulate it.

As we all know, any power related to time can be called great. The inconspicuous binding ceremony in front of us actually represents the unique power Tris gained when she became a gold-level psychic master. She called it It is "Supernatural Law·Time".

In fact, Tris has never really shown her power to dominate the bottom of the box.

Because from the time she was dragged into this "game" by Murphy until now, she was too weak to fight in the first half. After obtaining Sarokdar's heart of gold, she has never encountered the kind of situation where she had to use her trump card to survive. Dilemma.

The Scarlet Witch has always been called a "genius" by Lord Pa Ying. Don't underestimate the value of these two words in people like Lord Pa Ying.

"I'm going to have to spend some time to unfreeze it. Turner's North Wind Blast contains the weak divinity of the North Wind God. It's very troublesome to resolve this thing."

As Tris fine-tuned the parameters of the bondage ritual, she said to Murphy:
"Concrete research results may take some time. You can leave now. I will inform you if there is any news."

"I want to stay a little longer."

Murphy shrugged.

He looked at the twisted human form frozen in the ice in front of him. The thing in front of him was very similar to the spider elf in his memory, but it didn't have that unique feeling. It was more like a defective product obtained by "failed evolution".

"Can't you just search for information in its mind?"

He asked:
"Phimis can use that search technique, can't you?"

"Don't be ridiculous. That thing is more of a form of torture than information search. Its search efficiency is low enough to make any blood torturer laugh out loud."

Tris shook her head and said:
"What's more, the guy in front of me has already gone through the 'Spider Transformation Ceremony'. While its body was distorted and degraded, its will and mind were also shattered into a maze of irreparable fragments. It will take a lot of time to put that information back together. Great patience and great skills, you should be glad I've done this before.

I still have some experience.

Perhaps from this guy's mind memories, we can find the face and some information we want to capture. "

"Okay, have you seen this thing before?"

Murphy asked again.

His awesome girlfriend snorted, put her hands on her hips and said:

"Who do you think I am? Isn't it just a spider? I saw it a lot when I traveled in the Underdark more than 200 years ago. This thing is actually a way for shadow elves to torture prisoners. Its principle is based on The 'Lifeweaver's Blessing' ceremony in the shadow elf family.

Shadow Elf women who find favor with the Spider-Lady Avalon will at some point perform this ritual.

They will dedicate everything they have to the Spider Lady in exchange for the blessing of Shadow Avalon. After the ceremony is completed, those shadow elf women will become half-human and half-spider existences.

But to be honest, the real 'Life Weaver Girl' is much more beautiful than the fake one in front of me.

Those are the iconic power holders of the Shadow Elf race and the top leaders of each family. According to what I saw and heard back then, each of the thirteen Shadow Elf families will have a priest composed entirely of fate-weaver girls. Order.

That is the most intimidating force under the family mistress.

That is also the authoritative embodiment of Avalon of Shadows in the race of shadow elves.

According to legend, those talented fate-weaver girls can use their own eyes to see the direction of the river of destiny and make quite accurate predictions.

Although there has never been a real case to prove this, it has been so many years since the shadow elves were expelled from the Castilla Peninsula by the other three elves from the other three races. Instead of declining and dying, they have become more and more prosperous. It can be seen that these are about The prediction of fate may not be groundless.

They gradually occupied most of the dark area under the Eternal Rift, and formed a fallen kingdom with a complex system there.

To be honest, in terms of power and war potential, the shadow elves are now a group of their own and can compete with the Elf Kingdom of Castile.

Fortunately, the two groups were separated by most of the continent and the Genoa Peninsula, otherwise the civil war between the elves would have started long ago. "

Tris shook her head and said:

"Anyway, don't underestimate these crazy women who use spiders as their logo. If a little naughty dog ​​like you, with tender skin and tender flesh, falls into the hands of the shadow elves, I'm afraid those hopeless whores will really Will eat you up and wipe you clean.

In a physical sense"

"Don't make trouble, you are here, why am I still afraid of them?"

Murphy snorted, but then he frowned and said:
"Trish, you are the best theologian on the continent. Can you answer my question? Why is there such a big gap between the Spider Lady and the other three aspects of Avalon?

Moon Maiden, Storm Queen, and Forest Mother are all clearly of the lawful alignment, but this spider lady is considered extreme even in the eyes of vampires.

This is totally unreasonable. "

"Well, good question."

Tris looked around, then lowered her voice and said:

"I went to the Dark Territory with the intention of looking for this answer. Obviously I could get a specific answer, but my travels among the Thirteen Families gave me an idea.

There is no evidence.

But I guess the birth of the Spider Lady was not a coincidence.
Avalon may have been 'tainted', and the Spider Lady is the divine manifestation of that contaminated part of Him."

"boom"

The knock on the door happened to sound at this moment, causing Tris to shut up immediately and making Murphy's heart skip a beat. In this world where gods really exist, discussing the secrets of these gods is troublesome.

You have to be on guard against being heard by them at all times.

"Come in!"

Murphy turned around and said, Tris's personal guard captain "Crazy Woman" Bonnie stuck her head out and looked around the room secretly.

When she didn't see the picture she wanted to see, the expectation in Bonnie's eyes quickly turned into a hint of disappointment, and then she said angrily:
"Grand Duke Shani has arrived, she is waiting for you two."
