Pirate Sequence: Start with Outlaws

"How's it going? How was your discussion with the general inside?" As soon as Rune came out of the Mosaic Family Hall, the Octopus Wizard couldn't wait to circle around him and asked at the same time.

Although the octopus wizard is said to know many evil witchcrafts and has done many evil things, this is also calculated according to the behavioral logic of their race.

Even though she is seven or eight hundred years old, under normal circumstances, he is just a child with a simple mind.

So she acts very childish sometimes.

At this moment, the Octopus Wizard has only one idea in his mind, and that is to kill the Blood God Priest!

This guy had destroyed many altars of believers on his side and took them as his own. Of course, the Octopus Wizard couldn't let this guy go.

And when he heard that Rune would discuss with General Niels to deal with the Blood God Priest, the Octopus Wizard also applauded.

After all, she had heard of Nils' name a long time ago. With Nils' help, it would be much easier for them to deal with the followers of the Blood God.

At the same time, he was also completely impressed by Lu En. Originally, he thought that Lu En was just a more powerful guy, but he didn't expect that after entering Beloberg, she discovered that no matter her fame, she was still in the Vassett family. His status is very high.

This made her determined to cooperate with Lu En.

"Don't worry, everything has been agreed upon, and now we have to see how to implement it." Rune comforted the octopus wizard and continued, "I had a discussion with General Niels just now and reviewed the current situation. analysis.”

"As I thought, our current focus is on obtaining evidence of collusion between the old lord and the Blood God believers. The information discovered previously is very important. As long as the teleportation array in the lord's mansion can be imprinted, Then combined with the recent space fluctuation records, this is important ironclad evidence that the old lord colluded with the followers of the Blood God. In addition, we also need to bring this."

As he spoke, Rune took out a blue crystal stone from the package. The octopus wizard rubbed it with his tentacles, then blinked, "What is this? A regular hexagon. It looks like a dice. There are weird magic fluctuations in it, but there are very difficult to break through the restrictions. Even I can't break them within a few decades. "

"Your observation skills are very good." Lu En praised, "This thing is an image crystal."

"Image crystal? No, no, I have seen an image crystal before, and the structure inside is completely different from this one. How can the image crystal be so complicated?" Hearing what the octopus wizard said, he looked at the blue crystal in his hand again, and then He frowned and retorted.

Rune took the crystal back into his hand and said, "This imaging crystal is completely normal even if you haven't seen it before. It is different from ordinary imaging crystals."

"The internal principles and structural core have not changed, but on the outside you also find that there are many restrictions. These restrictions are specially set by the mystics of the Imperial City and have their own unique analysis methods."

Hearing this, the Octopus Wizard also understood the origin of the image crystal, "Oh, so this image crystal was sent from the Imperial City!"

"That's right, this image crystal is not only very difficult to crack, but also has almost no spiritual fluctuations when used, and is very difficult to detect. Moreover, even if you use some means to destroy the restriction of the crystal, it will leave corresponding records. It will never It’s possible to break the restrictions silently.”

After hearing this, the Octopus Wizard finally understood the importance of the current image crystal, "I understand! The key to this image crystal is that the images recorded by the person who uses it are completely real and have never been tampered with. It is possible that as soon as this crystal is brought to the Imperial City to test the secret techniques, it will be possible to know whether it has been tampered with and whether the restrictions have been cracked. What a clever design!"

"This spar was given to me by General Niels. After discussion, we decided to send a total of 8 teams to the old lord's mansion to explore. Each team has two people. This way, we can maintain concealment to the greatest extent and monitor the situation. Effective exploration can be carried out in the lord's mansion."

"Our team is just you and me."

"Got it!" The Octopus Wizard was very excited, and the octopus tentacles under her feet kept squirming, "Then when will we set off!"

"Tonight."

After a period of waiting, the sky gradually became dark, and finally it was the agreed departure time.

After sorting out his equipment, Rune and the Octopus Wizard quietly walked through an alleyway and headed straight to the lord's mansion.

The location of the lord's mansion is very interesting. In the past, the lord's mansion of Beloberg was always located in the center of Beloberg City. It symbolized the lord's power to rule everything and also represented that the lord was sitting in all directions. It was Beloberg's lord's residence. Berg Center.

But when it came to Lord Andrews, he moved the lord's mansion to the north of Belloberg City, not far from the northern city gate, where he also built an inner city wall to isolate it from the outside world.

Under normal circumstances, Lord Andrews never leaves his mansion. At that time, he was thought to have no interest in political power and military power. Now it seems that he completely wants to stay in the hidden lord's mansion and carry out shady blood god sacrificial activities.

"Such a high inner wall." The octopus wizard and Rune groped their way to the door of the territory mansion. The patrolling soldiers here seemed very dense. The fixed patrol positions made it impossible for the two to find any gaps to sneak in. This was enough to show that the old lord attached great importance to defense.

Rune hid in the dark and secretly watched these soldiers.

In the information provided by Niels, there was naturally a patrol schedule for these soldiers.

Rune, who had read it carefully, understood that it was almost impossible to pass through the heavily defended soldiers quietly, so they were prepared.

A scroll quietly appeared in Rune's hand. After tearing it open, the moonlight like a veil enveloped the two people, and the two people immediately merged with the environment.

Entered the invisible state.

If you don't observe very carefully, you can't find anything unusual.

Even if you concentrate all your attention to check their location, you can only feel a little distortion in the space at most. It is even more difficult for ordinary people to find the abnormality.

With the help of the invisibility scroll, Rune's sneaking in was much easier.

At this time, he opened the crystal stone on his body. All the infiltration actions will be recorded in this way, and then used as evidence to expose the old lord's heinous behavior.

Everything is ready, Rune and the octopus wizard began to explore the lord's mansion.

Passing by the soldiers, the other party was not at all vigilant.

The octopus wizard was wearing a hooded robe that was larger than her body, and she looked around curiously, but the staff in her hand had been tightly grasped by her. As long as she found anything abnormal, she would immediately use a binding spell to control the enemy.

Safely arrived at the door of the lord's mansion, the closed door here refused to allow any outsiders to enter.

The layers of formations above also prevented anyone from opening it without permission.

Rune and the octopus wizard did not plan to enter from the main door, which would be too conspicuous.

The two of them followed the gaps in the bricks of the inner city wall, and with a light tap of their toes, they had already jumped over 10 meters in height. In just two or three steps, they had already reached the top of the inner city wall. A patrolling soldier passed by, but could not hear any sound from them.

Jumping from the inner city wall to the interior of the city lord's mansion, this is an extremely vast place.

It is already very exaggerated to describe a mansion as vast.

If the wine estates owned by the wealthy merchants that no one had visited before were enough to amaze people, then the scale of the lord's mansion was even more amazing.

After being in Beloberg City for a long time, Lu Enhai had never seen the full view of the Beloberg lord's mansion, and now he finally had the honor to see it.

The entire lord's mansion is roughly divided into 4 areas.

The 4 areas of southeast, northwest, and northeast have extremely strict property planning.

The eastern part of the lord's mansion is the sphere of influence of the lord's daughter, the western part is the storage area of ​​various resources, the southern part is the location of the garrison, and the northern part is the inner mansion where the lord himself is located.

This setting is very interesting from the beginning. After all, the south of the lord's mansion is inside the city of Beloberg, and the garrison is also here. Generally speaking, the lord should consider resisting foreign enemies, so the location of the lord's mansion is completely opposite to the garrison.

The meaning contained in this is somewhat intriguing.

Rune and the other two entered from the south, and the members of other teams have entered from different directions in order to obtain the most comprehensive information.

Rune and the octopus wizard fell from the city wall and became more cautious.

The southern garrison is also the most heavily defended position. The two encountered seven or eight prohibitions after walking a few steps. If they were not careful, they would trigger the alarm and be chased by the soldiers.

After walking a distance, there was a military camp with soldiers stationed in front.

The construction of the military camp here is obviously much more sophisticated than that of the Shark Tooth Army, and the soldiers' standard equipment inside is also more advanced.

Rune even saw the new alchemical hand cannon inside, which is more than ten times more powerful than the muskets used by the navy on weekdays.

In addition, there are armors with array patterns. Looking at those armors, Rune feels familiar.

Isn't this a simplified version of the battle armor?

These equipments are a bit shocking.

Assuming that every soldier under the lord has this kind of equipment, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose in a head-on battle with the army of the Vasek family.

Rune recorded all this silently.

Although this has nothing to do with the evidence of the old lord's collusion with the Blood God believers, it is important information related to their war.

Before, Rune was still thinking that the old lord's goal was to provoke wars between various principalities.

Using the interests of the civil war of Beloberg as bait, involving major forces such as the Principality of Raynar and the Principality of Wisteria, thus triggering a big fight between the Kind Sea, and then satisfying his blood sacrifice ceremony and becoming a sacrifice for his promotion.

In these chaotic scenes, how should the old lord settle down, or even if all the battles come to an end, how should he clean up the mess.

Now seeing these equipment, Rune feels that he has some guesses.

Assuming that the old lord really has a group of such soldiers, then when facing internal struggles like the Kind Sea, he may really be able to end everything.

These things are obviously unknown to Nils and others, and are also one of the old lord's trump cards. Now that Rune has discovered them, it can be regarded as a precaution.

After stealing two sets of armor and putting them in the storage space for future research, Rune and the octopus wizard continued to sneak into the interior. The more they looked at this military camp, the more surprised they were. The combat quality of each soldier inside was beyond his imagination.

Or, the lord had been training inside before, and these soldiers were waiting for the current opportunity.

After more than half an hour, Rune and the octopus had no food, and finally passed through the soldiers' camp and could relax a little.

After entering the lord's mansion, everything became calm.

"Where should we go now?" The octopus wizard and Rune are currently in the middle of the lord's mansion.

"There are three choices now, east, west, and north, but the exact location of the Blood God's teleportation array is still unclear, so it is estimated that we have to go to each place."

"As for which one to go first, let's go to the west. After entering the lord's mansion, although there is only a little bit of the breath of the Blood God's believers, the breath in the west is obviously stronger."

"I think it's the west, too." The octopus wizard nodded and agreed with Lu Wen's opinion, "The breath over there makes me feel sick, maybe the Blood God priest is there!"

As he said, the octopus ignored the staff in his hand, and Rune clearly felt that his steps became lighter.

Under the blessing of the wizard's spell, Rune quickly went to the west of the mansion.

As mentioned before, this is a place to store resources on weekdays, and generally speaking, the supervision is strict.

However, compared with the austerity of the southern army and the strictness of the inner court of the northern territory, the guards in the west seem to be a little more relaxed.

Because most of the people who come here with ill intentions are for the purpose of stealing, the consequences of such things are not too serious.

However, when Rune and the octopus wizard approached here, they did find something wrong.

There were not as many guards as expected, and the doors of some warehouses were simply open. It didn't look like the inside of the lord's mansion at all, but rather like a dilapidated village.

The further they walked inside, everything began to become weird.

Especially after passing through a garden, the blood god's aura around them suddenly became thicker, even exaggerated as if it was going to drown and suffocate people.

The blood in Rune's body was instantly stimulated, and he passively resisted the blood god's aura.

Everything around him also began to change at this time.

Seeing the surrounding scene again, Rune took a deep breath, and was a little confused in his heart.

But then he smiled lightly.

It seems that his opponent is more difficult than he imagined.

After entering the lord's mansion before, he and the octopus wizard had been under an illusion.

It was not until now that they encountered the blood god's aura that they broke free.
