Mystery: emerging from the wilderness of knowledge

While the spiritual thread was being manipulated, Renekton's thoughts and movements became stiff and sluggish, and the extraordinary ability that could have been formed in an instant was delayed for a second or two.

In the lightless darkness, streaks of golden light emerged, wandering in the air, becoming more and more pure, and finally evolved into a seal-like projection.

A second after the seal was formed, Renekton recited the ancient Hermetic language to notarize:

"invalid!"

In mid-air, the seal-like projection turned into a stream of pure light gold and sank into Renekton's body. Most of his slow thinking, stiff body, and sluggish movements caused by the manipulation of the spiritual threads disappeared in an instant.

Taking advantage of this gap, he used a "mysterious reappearance" that he had always possessed but had never used.

The orange-red dusk light suddenly emerged, and in the center of a transparent and illusory palace, ancient and majestic like a giant's residence, people with extremely blurred figures and extremely terrifying auras sat around a long table stained red with blood. Their expressions Ferociously, they ate the things on the long table like they were fighting for each other.

The next moment, the blurry figures sitting on both sides of the long table all turned their heads and looked at the middle-aged man wearing dark classical palace robes.

The auras of some of them are particularly terrifying, resonating with certain things in the surrounding environment, as if they will come out of this illusory scene at any time and come to reality.

This is the scene of the "Feast of Betrayal". The mysterious magic created by the occult knowledge of the death of the ancient sun god can awaken or give intelligence to objects, allowing them to perform acts of betrayal.

As the scene of the ancient sun god being eaten emerged, as if it caused a chain reaction, the lightning flashes across the sky suddenly became more frequent, with golden spots falling from time to time, and something began to surge deep in the darkness. , becomes quiet and dangerous.

The surrounding atmosphere suddenly became chaotic and dangerous, exuding extreme madness and evil, as if an extremely terrifying existence had set its sights here.

The rich, deep darkness was illuminated by more and more silver-white lightning and golden spots in the sky. Under the dazzling light, a middle-aged man wearing dark classical palace robes showed an evil smile on his face. The deep black was a little ghostly. The green eyes became more lively, and the intuitive feeling was that he seemed to be a little different from before.

Under Renekton's gaze, he threw away the animal skin lantern he was holding, opened his hands, and had an indescribable smile on his lips, as if he was feeling something or embracing something.

Renekton looked at each other with the strange marionette in front of him, and gently rubbed his right hand wearing a bronze mechanical glove twice.

Dots of pale yellow stars floated around him, quickly outlining a pattern similar to a scale.

At the same time, he clenched a fist with his right hand and pressed it against the marionette's chest from a distance, whispering an ancient Hermetic word in his mouth:

"die!"

In front of him, the marionette with his hands open as if hugging something was sluggish for a moment. Rusty red stardust suddenly surged out of his heart, and a red almost white flame arose. In an instant, he was heading towards decline and death. There was a final bang.

As if a chain reaction had been triggered, red fires continued to rise within a few kilometers of the surrounding area, making explosion-like sounds.

"Humph~"

A somewhat illusory and erratic cold snort came from the darkness in the distance. It was very unreal, as if it was echoing from the fog of history.

The aura of "Dark Demonic Wolf" Kotal disappeared in a flash. The light in Renekton's eyes flashed and became extremely dark in an instant. He tried to peer into the river of destiny in order to find the "Dark Demonic Wolf" "Mark of.

After a moment, his eyes became clear again. After shaking his head slightly disappointed, he rubbed his fingers, creating a pair of hands stained with mist and invisible, and controlled them to pick up the things left by the marionette who had just died nearby. come over.

Seeing that the sudden conflict ended so suddenly, Klein still felt a little unreal above the gray fog. While he carefully checked whether there were any hidden secret puppets left around him, he asked in his mind. :

"How did you do it? Kill most of the marionettes around you in an instant, and the other party didn't resist?"

Renekton whispered to himself while picking up the spirit insects that the "Dark Demonic Wolf" had not had time to take back:

"Incited a marionette to rebel, and let it connect all the marionettes around it to itself, so that the influence I exerted can affect all marionettes in an instant."

"Instigating rebellion?" Klein felt a little unbelievable. He didn't expect that something like a marionette could instigate rebellion.

Renekton nodded slightly and said:

"The mysterious reproduction I used just now is called the 'Feast of Betrayal', which comes from the mysterious knowledge of the ancient sun god being eaten. Its effect is very simple. It can make the item give birth to intelligence, or awaken the intelligence of the item itself to make it do something An act of betrayal.”

"I used the characteristics of the 'Earl of Chaos' to distort the concept between marionettes and items, allowing the marionette of the 'Dark Dark Demonic Wolf' to give birth to its own intelligence, and betrayed the 'Dark Dark Demonic Wolf'."

This is not scientific, but it is very occult. Danger in the mysterious world may come from various places. In the future, you have to be careful about your marionette being instigated to rebel. Klein cursed a few times in his heart, and then asked about the role of the spirit worm.

"It can be used to make spells or magical items. It can also be used for certain rituals and potions. It is considered a relatively advanced material, especially since it comes from an angel."

Renekton answered as if muttering to himself, then sealed all the well-collected spirit insects into a translucent amber and handed them over to the invisible servant standing behind him.

After doing all this, he suddenly said:

"I happen to be free, so I can help you find a trickster. Remember to make more money during this time, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it."

Klein above the gray fog was silent for two seconds before he chuckled and said:

"It seems that your humanity is gradually returning."

After a pause, he continued:

"My 'Secret Puppet Master' potion hasn't started to be digested yet, so I'm not in a hurry to collect the materials. You can save it first, and I'll buy it from you when I save enough money."

"Okay, as long as you're not afraid that I'll sit down and raise the price."

As soon as the words fell, Renekton's body suddenly disappeared, decomposed into streams of complex knowledge, pouring into the spiritual world like a torrent, moving towards a certain direction deep in the spiritual world.

Above the gray fog, Klein deactivated "spiritual communication", sat on the top seat of the mottled long table, looked at the endless gray fog in front of him, and briefly fell into deep thought.

If I were on Earth, I would have posted a message on the forum asking for help: What should I do if my friend suddenly turns into an evil god?

As he thought about it, Klein couldn't help laughing.

After sitting on the chair and relaxing for a moment, he spread his spirituality around himself, simulating the feeling of falling, and left the space above the gray mist.

Deep in the spirit world, Renekton, who had transformed into the form of information, was surging forward like a torrent while sifting through the various information that was constantly being deposited in the spirit world, trying to find information about trickery and evil.

Although the scheming monsters are the main materials of "tricky mages" like the spiritual world predators, their intelligence is far inferior to that of the latter. They do not have the ability to communicate normally, and they cannot perform counter-divination from the spiritual world level. , counter-prophetic interference.

However, this kind of monster is rare in the Land Abandoned by the Gods. In addition, the information deposited in the spiritual world is too complicated. Without special means like Arrods, it is difficult to quickly screen them out.

After lingering in the spirit world for nearly half an hour, Renekton roughly determined the general area of ​​activity of the trickster monster.

The misty light composed of streams of complex information surged rapidly. The creatures active in the spiritual world seemed to be completely invisible to this light, allowing it to flow past them and even pass through their own bodies. Only a few Some spiritual creatures with strong auras will notice abnormalities and take evasive actions on their own.

In more than ten minutes, he arrived at an area with scheming and evil activities.

In the spiritual world, his body was reorganized from the complex and pure knowledge, and his eyes looked extremely deep, resembling the surface of the sea before a storm, obviously losing focus and becoming a blur.

Under such circumstances, he could easily peer into the long river that represented destiny and extract some information from it.

After using the messenger of "prophecy" to confirm the existence of trickery and evil spirits nearby, he took a step forward, and his figure quickly faded into transparency, breaking away from the spiritual world where colors accumulated and came to reality.

The frequency of lightning falling in the sky dropped to one every one or two minutes, and in the darkness, the atmosphere belonging to the realm of secrecy, depravity, and mutation became extremely active.

Renekton, wearing a mechanical glove, tapped the index finger and thumb of his right hand twice. The glove on his hand quickly made a clicking sound, and then a crack opened in the palm of his hand, exuding a slightly hot smell. Blazing white light.

He raised his hand slightly and raised his right hand to his shoulder, letting the light from the glove disperse the surrounding darkness.

With this light, he finally saw the surrounding environment clearly. It was a piece of ruins of buildings that were not too big or dense. They looked like a village. Their houses used more bluestone as raw materials, so they could still Leave some traces.

A deep lavender color slowly appeared in Renekton's eyes. He calmly looked around in the surrounding darkness for several times, and found several monsters hidden in the darkness, but none of them were the scheming evil spirits he was looking for. Strange.

Pausing on the spot for two seconds, he followed his intuition and walked deeper into the ruins.

Before he had gone far, there was suddenly a rustling sound in his ears, like the sound of some creature chewing stones. It was very high-pitched and made people feel like their teeth were sore.

When he got closer, the sound quickly disappeared again.

In two or three seconds, the sound sounded again in another direction completely opposite to the one before.
