Violet Orchestra

Now that someone can understand it, things will be much easier to handle.

Petra was pushed to the front, responsible for communicating with the kidnapped "guest", while the others gathered behind, waiting for her to speak a few words before turning back and translating into the common language.

In fact, they have to be thankful that Petra used to be a priestess of the Sancho people. If it were any other Sancho people, they would not understand anything—the other party spoke an ancient language. The language without independent script has been gradually abandoned, even in the Sancho, only the priestesses still need to learn these.Even Petra couldn't fully understand what he said, because the other party not only spoke the ancient language of Trillance Mountain, but also had a strong accent. It sounded like he hadn't talked to anyone for a long time. Neither is natural.

"He lives in Trillance Mountain, with the rest of his tribe." After the conversation came to an end, Petra summarized the important information and told others, "The situation is basically the same as Eros speculated, he belongs to The tribes that once believed in the God of Rocks, but those tribes that disappeared disappeared into the mountains and died for various reasons, and now there are only about 20 people left in total.”

"Not surprising," Eros nodded. "The fewer people there are, the easier it is to manage."

He had obviously guessed what Petra was going to say next, and after muttering something, he ran behind the desk to write something.Petra glanced at him, and continued, "But I asked him about beliefs, but he couldn't answer—whether it's the God of Rocks or the Goddess of Green Leaves, this person has no impression at all."

"Can you remember the tribe you belong to, but don't remember the rock god you once believed in?" Elaine repeated doubtfully.

Petra nodded.

"That's weird..."

"It's nothing strange, it's just a very simple spell." Ventus thought for a while, and guessed the reason, "If you change the keyword, he will give you a response."

Petra did as he was told, and sure enough, men responded to a certain name.

"Hayden Woods..."

"It seems that you have figured it out." Eros looked at their faces when he came back, and then spread a map of Icethorn City on the table, "Since things are going the same way as I guessed, then the next step is to Carry out according to my plan, no problem?"

"That depends on what kind of plan it is." Ventus said nonchalantly.

It took them a lot of effort to bypass the silence technique and pry the man's mouth open. After asking, he almost guessed Hayden Woods' conspiracy-this made him even more disappointed in the so-called "God", not only Hayden Woods, who is dirty, and Eros, who can guess the truth early, also make him feel uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, of course it will be a good plan." Eros didn't seem to see his displeasure, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, then looked at the trembling foreigner, and fumbled for it from his pocket. He took a tube of potion and handed it to Elaine, "Let him drink it."

Seeing that he also gave Violet the calming potion, Elaine agreed without saying anything: "Okay."

During this period of time, Violet still had nightmares at night, but his condition seemed to have improved after drinking the potion made by Elost. Although the curse continued to erode his body, his spirit was better than before.

Sure enough, the man who was kidnapped from the Trillance Mountain fell asleep quickly after being half-coaxed and half-forced to drink the potion.Elaine left the person at the other end of the room, took the empty bottle and returned to the side where everyone was talking, and couldn't help asking Eros, "What the hell did you put in it? He fell asleep after drinking it."

"It's just an ordinary potion made with mandala and piranha. The ingredients are optimized for spell casting. It can calm the nerves and help sleep without other bad side effects."

"Then why Violet..."

"The ones given to him are specially made, with other things added." Seeing him a little confused, Eros couldn't laugh or cry, "Do you think it's so easy to fight Hayden Woods' curse? It's good if the potion works."

Elaine's face darkened again.

"Okay, let's talk about countermeasures." Eros put his arms around his shoulders and led him to the table, "Violet is not here, you have to act like a grown-up and stop being coquettish."

In fact, the countermeasures Eros came up with were not too technical, and could even be called simple and crude.In his view, the source of the power of faith for this initial group of believers is precisely the foundation of Hayden Woods as a regional god.No matter what means Hayden Woods used to get these believers, this is his shameful weakness, that's why he used that method to hide people in the Trillance Mountains, making the outside world think that they had disappeared.

"If he loses this part of the believers, his power will be fundamentally weakened and become weaker than ever before."

As a god, Hayden Woods' strength has been increasing over the years. Only by shaking the foundation of his divine power can they have a chance.

Ventus obviously didn't believe that this could cure the root cause, and asked directly: "What happens after he becomes weak?"

"That's up to us." The two brothers Eros put their hands on his shoulders and said casually, "You are an official magician, although it is not enough, but it is barely enough. When the time comes Give me a shot, although we can't kill him together, we should be able to seal him."

"..."

If it was just that he didn't believe that this could fundamentally solve the problem before, then now Ventus has doubted the feasibility of this plan.This kind of suspicion was directly reflected in his expression, but Eros did not explain much: "Don't put on such an expression, I will tell you how to do it in a while, and arrange other people's tasks first."

Then he described his plan in detail, and then asked everyone: "What do you think?"

After a silence, Birkins spoke first: "It's a little risky."

"How sure are you of success?" Petra asked.

"Half and half." Eros's attitude was very calm, "Half of it is really possible, and the other half depends on luck."

Ventus still disagrees: "It's too dangerous, especially the person who is the bait, in case of a mistake, or if Hayden Woods is not fooled—"

"I'll go." Elaine said suddenly.

"No." Eros quickly vetoed, "There are other tasks that must be done by you."

"But that task is the most dangerous." Elaine was unwilling to compromise, "I can do what Birkins and Petra can do, let me go."

He doesn't want to let others take risks. If each task can be divided into dangerous levels, then he is willing to go to the most dangerous one.After all, Violet is his lover, and Eros who proposed this plan is his friend. If there is a risk, it is most reasonable for him to bear it.

But Eros still shook his head: "I said, it's up to you. Let others go with the bait."

The group of people he brought from the Cocklebur Fortress have been busy in the city recently. The secret reconnaissance work lasted for nearly ten days in order to find a suitable sealing place within the boundaries of Icethorn City.He hadn't been able to determine the source of Hayden Woods' strength before, so he only made this plan based on speculation, but in fact, no matter what, they could only go so far - find a suitable place for sealing, and put the weakened Hayden Woods seal.

From this point of view, whether Violet or Ventus, their previous attitudes are correct: humans cannot defeat gods, nor can they kill gods.But with the power of Eros, there will be a subtle change in this conclusion: they can't kill Hayden Woods, but they can seal him with Ako's divine power.

So there was Eros' plan.Find someone who can attract Hayden Woods' attention, lead him to the selected sealing location, and let Eros and Ventus restrain him, looking for an opportunity to seal him.It seems to be a very straightforward plan, there is not even a part that can adapt to changes, it is so simple that everyone can understand it, but...

"Is there any step here that I must do?" Elaine was very puzzled.

Eros looked embarrassed, and it took him a long time to look at him helplessly: "I wanted to give you the secret weapon in private, but do you have to ask me to take it out now?"

Even so, he still had nothing to do with Elaine and took out what he called the "secret weapon".

First, a soft green light glowed from his palm, then the light became stronger and stronger, and finally condensed into a solid body—Eros held it, and pulled out a dagger from his palm.

The dagger was only as long as an adult woman's forearm, and it looked small and delicate, more like a beautiful decoration than a secret weapon.The scabbard has a pattern of branches similar to that on the previous clay plate. It is detailed and lifelike, and it looks like the property of the forest goddess Iko.

After pulling out the dagger, the green light in Eros' palm disappeared completely.He held the sword and handed it to Elaine without looking at it: "'Voice of Aiko', take it."

According to legend, the forest goddess Iko once fell in love with a human being, but she could not express her love—she could not speak, nor could she leave her territory. Finally, before the young man left the forest, Ako used a short knife The sword stabbed him to death.

She let the other party stay in the forest forever.

"It's not so much a curse, it's better to say it's her blessing." Eros explained, "That human stepped into the forest when he was seriously ill. He was about to die. Aiko just helped him out. There is a strong life on the sword. breath, he survived for quite a long time after being stabbed, and finally passed away after thanking Ai Kou."

"It seems that all kinds of legends really can't be believed." Elaine looked down at the dagger, and felt that there was an invisible soft power emanating from it. Even holding it in his hand could feel a slight warmth, not like ordinary iron. As cold as ice, "...so, what do you want me to do with it?"

"It's very simple. While I'm pinning down Hayden Woods, find an opportunity to stab the 'Voice of Aiko' into his chest."
