Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 2323
"Have you found any clues?" Flood hurriedly asked, "Have you found out who they sacrificed to?"

According to what Flood learned from Sam, the sacrifice was not only performed by the farmer, but many dignitaries in the town participated in it.

This is a typical collective sacrifice event, and it is a human-based tribute sacrifice, full of primitive style.Similar situations are recorded in the history of the wizarding world. There is a high probability that the object of the sacrifice is an evil god from another world. In the name of offering sacrifices to deepen the connection with the wizarding world, and then enter the wizarding world.

This kind of situation is very common in the primitive tribes of the Feilan continent, so every once in a while, wizard organizations from all over the world will send missions to let the people below go to the primitive tribes of the Feilan continent to clear up such sacrifices.

Drew shook his head: "I don't know who they sacrificed yet."

Frode frowned slightly: "Then the clue you found is...?"

Drew's expression was slightly embarrassed: "We still can't confirm whether the clues found by the Knights are related to the collective sacrifice incident, but according to some speculations, there may be some connection between the two that we haven't discovered yet."

"Hey, what do you mean?"

Drew stroked his presbyopic glasses and motioned for Floyd to enter the castle.

While walking into Star Lake Castle, Drew also talked about the clues that the Royal Knights found in Dawn Town of Yinyun Principality.

Drew's narration was clear and clear, and Floyd quickly got the general idea.

The matter started with the Knights investigating the sacrifice of the farmer.

Because the Yinyun Principality is a subsidiary state of the Central Empire, the Knights of the Yinlu royal family can also obtain a lofty status in the Yinyun Principality and have special law enforcement powers.Therefore, the Knights went to investigate the sacrifice of the farmer, directly using their status to suppress people, and soon found out all the dignitaries in Liming Town who participated in the sacrifice.

But unfortunately, the Knights did not find too many clues in the hands of these people.Their sacrifices seem to have come out of nowhere, and even if you ask them, you don't know anything.

The members of the Knights speculated that it might be that the power of the other world had used the ability similar to memory interference. If they want to dig out clues, they probably need an official wizard to dispatch.

Therefore, the Knights reported this information to Neia first.

Because sacrifices to evil gods from other worlds can be big or small, some evil gods from other worlds are purely curious, and some evil gods from other worlds are full of malice towards the wizarding world, but no matter whether this sacrifice is big or small, Neia is still the first. Feedback to the Hurricane Tower for a while, hoping that the Hurricane Tower can send an official wizard over.

Whether the official wizard will come and when will come, the Knights are not sure for the time being, so they want to take advantage of this opportunity to continue digging some secrets of Dawn Town to see if they can find other clues.

However, after checking the powerful families and the industries related to these families, basically no problems were found.Many members of powerful families don't even know that there are still people in their families who participate in the sacrifice of evil gods.

In desperation, a knight suggested that he might as well check the slave market.

Since sacrifices are to be made, there must be tributes, that is, living people.

So many dignitaries participated in the sacrifices, and there were actually very few like Little Sam, and most of the dignitaries didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so the tributes offered by these dignitaries in Liming Town were all from slaves. Bought from the market.

As for using servants as tribute, the rich and powerful are not willing to do so.Because servants of nobles are also skilled and trained in etiquette.

The servants who spent a lot of resources to cultivate are used as sacrifices?I'm full.They are not big nobles with power over the principality, and it takes a lot of time to train a qualified servant.

The members of the Knights thought that they might be able to find something by checking the slave market, so they agreed.

In the next few days, the Knights conducted a comprehensive investigation of the slave market in Dawn Town, and finally found some hidden clues.

It's just that this clue points to the dignitaries of Dawn Town.

Because, this clue is what happened 13 years ago.

The reason why even the incident 13 years ago was dug up is mainly because of this incident, which is related to the "extraordinary incident".

According to a staff member of the slave market, 13 years ago, many slave ships sailed into the nearby Liming Port from the open sea, and there were about a dozen of them.

At that time, people also went to the slave market in Dawn Town, wanting to get some high-quality slaves - overseas slaves are generally more expensive than local ones, and there are also some humanoid slaves overseas, who can cater to some dignitaries with unusual hobbies, so The price is even more expensive.

They did find quite a few good slaves, but they got very few slaves, and most of them were bought by another buyer.

And this buyer is the person pointed by the clue.

This buyer is very strange, he spends a lot of money, and he also charged a very high price for a lot of worthless slaves. It is because of this that the merchants of the slave ship are willing to sell slaves to him instead of Liming. Small town slave market.

Because of being cut off, the staff of the slave market were very angry, so they paid more attention to this buyer.

Then they discovered a strange place, the buyer's rules for selecting slaves were very weird.

What he valued was not the slave's talent, beauty, or cherished status, but... size and height.

The slaves he bought basically belonged to the same height range, and he didn't want slaves that were too short or too tall.Even if these slaves were more valuable, he would not even look at them.

The staff member who discovered this secret became active, and immediately began to think that there are many slaves in this height range in their slave market, and many of them are still unsalable. If they can be sold to this person... Seems like a good idea?

Later, through contact, the other party was really willing to buy.

In the process of buying and selling, the staff got in touch with the other party further. At that time, they didn't think there was any difference, but thought that the other party had some special height addiction.

But once, when a staff member sent the slaves to the other party's temporary residence, he discovered that all the slaves sent before had disappeared.Obviously they didn't see each other leave, and the disappearance of a large number of slaves, they must be able to find traces, but everything is gone.

Moreover, the staff member was still at the other party's house and saw a strange symbol...

"Symbol?" Flood: "What symbol?"

Drew shook his head: "I don't know, that staff member forgot."

Flood frowned. So far, he has not heard any useful value from the stories Drew told so far, and there is no clue about the so-called "extraordinary".What's the point of Drew telling this story?
When Frode was puzzled, Drew continued: "That symbol is very strange. The reason why the staff member would forget it is not because he forgot it voluntarily, but because he was interfered with the memory."

"Oh?"

"According to the staff member, he felt that the symbol might have some meaning, and he might be able to find out the identity of the buyer, so he wanted to remember it forcibly, and then went back to check it slowly."

"However, the symbol itself is not complicated. However, whenever he thinks he has remembered it, he closes his eyes and thinks about it, and all the memory of the symbol disappears."

"It seems that there is some kind of mysterious power in that symbol, which cannot be remembered in people's minds."

Hearing what Drew said at this time, an inexplicable sense of familiarity rose in Frode's heart: a symbol that cannot be remembered, isn't it very similar to that...

"Does he have no memory of symbols at all?" Frode asked.

Drew thought for a while: "That's not all. According to him, he can remember the frame outside the symbol, but he can't remember the symbol inside the frame at all."

frame?Frode's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Then what does this frame look like?"

Drew: "A concentric circle, like a hexagon."

Frode was stunned for a few seconds, then turned his head quickly: "Do you have a pen and paper?"

Drew nodded, and took out the pen and a small notebook with some doubts.

The name of the letter is "Drew's Handbook", which is Drew's record and experience of extraordinary power. It contains countless small characters, but Floyd is not interested at all, so he just skipped it and turned to a blank article. On the page, I quickly drew a symbol on it with a pen.

However, the outside of the symbol drawn by Floyd is a concentric circle, and the inside of the concentric circle is a standard ritual hexagon.

"Is that the symbol framed like this?" Flood asked.

Drew looked at it, nodded and said, "Yes."

When Frode heard this answer, he seemed to understand something, and let out a long breath.

Drew asked curiously, "Does Master Thyssen know this symbol?"

Although it happened 13 years ago, this symbol is related to extraordinary power, and it is very likely to be related to the collective sacrifice event, so Drew is also very curious about the situation of the symbol.At that time, if the Hurricane Tower sends an official wizard to investigate, he can also provide corresponding clues to the above.

Frode nodded: "I've seen similar symbols, but I don't think this symbol has anything to do with the collective sacrifice event. The buyer probably has nothing to do with the sacrifice of the farmer and others later."

"What is the basis for Master Thyssen's judgment?" Drew wondered, "Is it because things happened too long ago?"

Frode shook his head: "No, this symbol, if nothing else, is related to the Quest world. And the reason why the staff member you mentioned can't remember the symbol is because there is a password shackle of the Quest world inside. "

Quest World!
Although Drew is only an apprentice, he has been up and down in the wizarding world for decades, and he also knows some things about Quest's world.

This is the plane of the soul!
He is in a dimension that cannot be explored in the material world, and has existed from ancient times.

At present, the Southern Territory can enter the world of Quest, or contact the world of Quest, and there are only three extremely powerful soul families.

The sacrifices of the farmers, as well as the sacrifices of the dignitaries in the small town of Dawn, are nothing more than a trivial matter. Such a primitive human sacrifice can at most contact the wild gods of the alien plane, and it is impossible to contact the ancient world of Quest. dimension of existence.

At this point, Drew understood why Frode was certain that this matter had nothing to do with the collective sacrifice, because the level difference was too great.

"In this way, the buyer who owns that symbol is the wizard of the three soul families?" Drew guessed.

Frode did not respond, and there is a high probability that Drew's guess is wrong.

This buyer bought a large number of slaves of similar size and height, and possessed the symbols of the Quest world, and it happened more than ten years ago... This is similar to the altar in the cave!
In that cave, there are 360 ​​small caves, and in each cave sits a skeleton sitting cross-legged, and this skeleton is a human being of similar size and height.

This is a sacrificial ritual, and what the ritual requires is a strict norm.The height range is one of the important sacrifice conditions.

And on the altar of the cave, there is also a symbol that cannot be remembered by memory.The outer frame of this symbol is also concentric circles and hexagons.

With so many coincidences, Frode is basically sure that the clues discovered by the Knights this time have nothing to do with the sacrifice of the farmer, but... it is closely related to the sacrifice in the burrow!
Frode narrowed his eyes slightly: Unexpectedly, he found clues to the burrow by accident.

You know, in Frode's view, the sacrifice on the farmer's side is not worth mentioning, but the sacrifice to Quest's world in the cave is more important.

While Frode was thinking, Drew was still sighing: "However, it has been 13 years, even if the buyer is really a member of the soul family, he probably has left by now."

Frode said bluntly: "Yes, so this clue can be ignored for now."

Drew nodded: "At first I thought this was an important clue, alas, forget it..."

Frode: "The most important thing now is the ghost of the farmer."

Frode took the initiative to turn the topic back to the farmer's ghost, but Drew didn't notice it. In his opinion, the farmer's ghost is indeed more important than this illusory topic: "Yes."

"The ghost of the farmer is already at the bottom of the mountain, and Master Neia is also on the way... Do we need to make some arrangements?" Drew: "Or, should we move little Sam?"

Frode shook his head: "No matter where you transfer little Sam, the ghost of the farmer will come."

Little Sam's physique is destined to be "favored" by the undead throughout his life.

Therefore, hiding is impossible, it is better to solve it as soon as possible.

"It's a bit strange that the farmer's ghost didn't rush up the mountain. I suspect that he may be a special undead." Frode said.

"If it's a special undead, it's not good." Drew looked worried. Ordinary undead are actually hard to deal with. Even Lord Neia, it is difficult to completely eliminate the undead unless there are special means to deal with the undead. But this kind of method is generally of the soul department, and other departments want to learn only cross-border practice...

Even ordinary undead are difficult to deal with, and if it is a special undead, it is even more difficult to deal with.

Frode didn't care about this, because with the prelude to reincarnation in his hands, even if it was really a special undead, it would be a matter of one shot or two.

What he cares about is, if the other party is a special undead, what kind of special ability will it be?
