Don't call me evil god

Chapter 376: The Legendary Artifact of the Old Days
For believers seeking knowledge.

The only information they had received from the oracle sent by Nowen was that in order to save the Goddess of Illusion, they needed to rush into the castle and stop Countess Ceylon.

But what kind of connection exists between the two?

What on earth did the Countess do to influence a god?

They don't know these details.

Now through Nicole's description, the chain of evidence is finally connected.

The old artifacts, those who hold the artifacts can release more powerful divine arts, but the price is that the gods bear the consequences.

The Countess was undoubtedly obsessed and would do anything to achieve her obsession, even causing a tragedy like the Eternal Night Disaster.

If Novan’s followers had not arrived to rescue in time, who knows how many more ordinary people in Ceylon would have suffered.

"What are the origins of those two black-robed men and the artifacts they provided?"

Pete asked for confirmation.

Nicole shook her head: "I don't know. Every time they enter the castle through the secret passage, they are wearing black robes and large hoods that wrap themselves tightly."

"The only thing I can be sure of is that they seem to be related to the Glorious God Cult."

"I followed them secretly once and found that they left through a secret passage and went to the Glowing Church outside the city!"

"Bishop Henry Tran just happened to be in the same place."

"I have no idea what they talked about, because my mother soon found me and left the castle. She used the fake personality created by the illusion to take control of my body."

"When I regained consciousness, I found myself back in the castle."

Pete frowned. "You don't have any clues at all? What about their appearance? Their looks? Any information that might be useful will do!"

Nicole tried to recall: "They were a little short, not like normal human body shape, a bit like dwarves or mixed blood."

"And... I once accidentally saw a weird tattoo on their neck under their hood?"

Pete's heart moved.

"A tattoo? Is it a swirl-like one? A small one?"

As he spoke, he gestured to give a rough idea.

Nicole's eyes lit up and she nodded immediately.

"Yes! That's it!"

Pete exchanged glances with Gail, Brandon, and Miranda.

They both understood each other.

This was not the first time they had seen this strange man in black robes!
In the secret room of the Blood Fang Gang in Green Harbor, the two black-robed corpses had spiral patterns of the same shape.

They found the first hexagonal gem from the altar in the secret room.

When I stepped into the Misty Valley, there was a crazy dwarf inside, and I also found a similar tattoo on his neck.

They also found another exquisite hexagonal gem on the dwarf.

Pete confirmed, "The two men in black robes you mentioned, the artifact they gave your mother... doesn't it look like a standard hexagonal gem?"

This time it was Nicole who was stunned: "How did you know?!"

Pete smacked his lips: "Sure enough."

These guys with weird tattoos are obviously in the same group.

There are so many similarities to be found in them!

Associated with evil gods.

The whereabouts are secretive.

Even... it seems to be inextricably linked to the Glowing God Cult.

Moreover, based on past experience.

The first gem allowed them to find the altar of creation under the guidance of the god of knowledge.

The second gem unlocked the true miracle of [Resurrection].

What will the third stone bring?
No wonder the god of knowledge sent down an oracle.

Now there is one more reason to stop the Countess!

...after learning about the man in black robe and the so-called "artifact".

"Time is running out. Heroes, please follow me to the meditation room to stop my mother. I'm worried that if we delay any further, it will be too late!"

Nicole looked extremely anxious.

Although Pete was also very anxious, he was not so anxious as to lose his mind.

"You wait!"

"I heard from Petunia that you once told him that you had a way to stop the Countess."

"At least you should tell us what you plan to do first, so we can work out a tactical coordination!"

No matter how anxious you are, rushing forward like a headless fly is definitely the most unreliable option.

do not forget.

Countess Ceylon is a noble and powerful 5th-level wizard!

The old butler Winnex, who had the strength of a tier 4 stealth warrior, gave them a hard time, killing more than 8% of their men and nearly wiping them out there.

Now let them go against a level 5 professional?
And he is a great wizard with the wizard tower behind him!
Pete has personally experienced the other party's "intensity".

The attack may not even break the opponent's defense.

How to fight this?
Nicole quickly gave an answer.

"Mother is indulging in weaving a new round of false illusion memories. Before she finishes, it's hard to notice what's happening in the outside world!"

"She is protected by the various powerful illusions generated by the artifact."

"I will try my best to block most of the phantom attacks for you. Please find a way to get to Mother and take away the artifact gem!"

Pete breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it’s not the worst case scenario.

If they were really asked to fight directly with a 5th-level wizard right now, they would probably not even know how they died.

No need to engage in direct combat.

All they had to do was to reach the Countess and take the gem.

It certainly sounds like it can be done.

"What about the two men in black robes? Won't they stop us?"

Nicole shook her head slightly, "I don't know if they're still in the castle."

“Every time they came to see their mother, they would only stay in the meditation room for a short time and leave soon.”

"If we are lucky enough, we shouldn't encounter them."

"We are out of luck, so we have to rely on you heroes!"

……

It turns out.

Their luck was not very good.

After rescuing the weak Nicole, under her leadership, they went unimpeded to the meditation room in the tower deep in the castle. When Brandon pushed open the door, he saw the two short figures in black robes at the first moment.

"How dare you come to my door? Prepare to die!"

Without saying a word, Brandon picked up the greatsword and used the [Charge] combat skill towards one of them!

When Brandon learned of the existence of the man in black robe, he planned to execute justice!
These guys seem to be either doing something bad or on their way to doing something bad.

Destroying them is undoubtedly what a heroic adventurer should do! A glorious deed that deserves to be written about by future generations!

not to mention.

Brandon knew that he didn't have the ability to defeat a level 5 wizard.

If he couldn't afford to offend the Countess of Ceylon, how could he not afford to offend these two little black-robed men in front of him!

He did not feel any intuitive warning of danger from the other party, which meant that this was definitely an enemy he could deal with!

"Take my heroic blow, you bastards!"
