[Western Fantasy] The mystery of life and death

Libertas, the high priest of the Huiyue tribe, led the high-level priests of the Huiyue Temple to cast spells with all their strength in the Soloa pine forest to maintain the slow operation of the "Light of Hecate".When she learned that Mason had been found, she immediately rushed back to Huiyue Temple.

A basement in Huiyue Temple was temporarily converted into a dungeon.The rumored "Evil Eye" is secretly held here.

【Dungeon of Huiyue Temple】

When Libertas arrived, the interrogation had already begun.Elder Abelson was full of anger, while Chief Guard Altai stood aside disdainfully.Prince Palmer was worriedly examining Mason lying on the ground.Custa stood behind him anxiously, with a look of impatience on her face.

Libertas rushed over immediately, and saw Mason's eyes were closed and he hadn't seen him for several days. His round face was now thin and pale, and she almost couldn't recognize him.Mason was panting with difficulty, but it was already very weak. His hair was completely drenched in cold sweat, his whole body was as cold as if he had just been fished out of a frozen lake, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding.Obviously, the interrogation just now did not go well, which angered Elder Abelson.

Libertas quickly performed a healing technique for Mason, simply repairing the ribs that were shattered by the huge impact, and connecting the dislocated limb joints.There are also some internal injuries that need to be cured by consuming high-grade magic crystals.And the top-grade magic crystals of the entire Alanti were stolen by the mysterious "Evil Eye".

Elder Bulson was still angry, he tremblingly pointed at Mason, almost speechless.Intense hatred and grief burst out of his old eyes.

Libertas choked back and said, "Calm down! He's not the Eye of the Devil, he's Mason!"

Prince Palmer persuaded: "Master Abelson, I am also very anxious, all of us are very anxious. But Mason is an important clue to find Loka, but I don't know what I have experienced these days. He is so weak. As soon as I can't stand the torture... the thread is broken."

Prince Palmer turned around and asked the guards to fetch some magic crystals from his residence, and asked Libetas to heal Mason.

When Libertas performed the healing technique, Trista reported to her what happened just now.Libertas looked even more serious.

As with Custa's previous interrogation results, he seemed to know nothing, or refused to say anything.

Although Mason is very docile, the entire interrogation process put Abelson, Palmer, and Custa on the verge of going berserk.

Abelson: "Did you steal the treasury?"

Mason: "I don't know what the treasure house is."

Burson: "Where have you been these few days?"

Mason: "Imeki is down."

Abelson: "Why go there?"

Mason: "Find something"

Abelson: "Looking for what?"

Mason: "I don't know, I won't know until I find it."

Palmer: "Where's Lorca?"

Mason: "I don't know."

Custa: "Where did you hide Roca?"

Mason: "I don't know, I haven't met him before."

Palmer: "Where did you hide Lorca? What did you do to him?"

Mason: "I don't know, I haven't met him."

After the three of them used some methods in turn, the answer they got was still the same.In fact, Elder Abelson has already restrained his actions. Considering Mason's weak condition, he still has many means that he has no chance to use.

Libertas asked them to avoid the door for a while.Mason had already recovered. He tried hard but was unable to stand up, so he could only sit up.He looked at Libertas with pure but desperate and sad eyes.

Libertas felt even more pain in her heart, she understood Mason's eyes - the power of the "Evil Eye" was really awakened.

"Lorca is your best friend!" Libertas said heartbroken.

"I haven't met Lorca." Mason replied affirmatively again.

"Aren't you going to tell me the truth?" Libertas looked at him mournfully.

Mason turned his head away to avoid meeting her eyes. "sorry."

"I, no, met Lorca," he repeated, feebly but persistently.

"Mason, is there anything you - would like to - tell me?"

Mason still didn't look at her, he looked away, but two lines of tears flowed down his pale face. "sorry."

"Yimihua has appeared again, right in the temple. Please be careful."

Libertas ordered her entourage to fetch a box from her Moonlight Temple.Abelson, Cuesta, Palmer, and Altai watched in amazement as she took out the contents, which turned out to be a set of hand and foot shackles with special shapes and a collar.It seems that she has already prepared a special ban on Mason.

Libertas put these in front of Mason.Mason meekly asked Libertas to put the collar on for him.He held out his hands again for her to put the shackles on him.After Libertas put the fetters on for him too.With a burst of metal crashing, Mason fell limply to the ground.

Libertas took another thick black cloth from the box, and although Mason's eyes were closed, she still covered his eyes.

"This is specially refined and can isolate his mental power." Libertas calmly explained one by one.

"Shackles can slow down his life rhythm and put him into hibernation."

"The collar is specially designed for Mason's mental power, and it can activate restraint in an emergency."

Elder Abelson wondered whether the power of the Devil's Eye had really recovered.When he looked at Mason again, there was some horror in his eyes.

Temporarily unable to ask for a confession, the Presbyterian Church had no choice but to investigate from other aspects.The elders secretly analyzed and discussed, and even Palmer, Custa, and Altai were not allowed to participate.The three of them immediately understood that this must be related to the core secrets taught by Kadile Shan Miluo.

Cuista bid them farewell and went back to the Mirror Lake Clan residence first.Now the secret realm is full of psychic turmoil, and the Jinghu and Gaefeng tribes have been evacuated to the foot of Huiyue Mountain. "Headwind" is still recovering from injuries in the Soloa pine forest. She did not tell others the specific details.Custa doesn't have a mount for now.Custa originally wanted to imprison Mason secretly and torture him to find out the whereabouts of Lorca, but Altai and Palmer led the search and rescue team to find the cave.She had to let them take Mason back to the temple.Custa's worries intensified again. She hoped to pry Mason's mouth away earlier, but she was also afraid of Mason's confession.

Seeing that she was in a trance, Palmer and Altai were worried about her safety. Now that there was violent turmoil everywhere, the high-ranking guards and priests were stationed at the most dangerous front line, and they were worried about letting the middle-ranking guards escort her. Altai volunteered enthusiastically and boldly, and he diligently took on the task of escorting Her Royal Highness, although the Jinghu Clan is located at the foot of Huiyue Mountain not far from the gate of Huiyue Temple.

Palmer watched Altai and Trista drift away.Custa was obviously not in the mood to start a conversation, but Altai was attentive, caring for both words and subtle actions, his hard face rarely showed tenderness, and his cold face was rarely flattering.Palmer narrowed his eyes meaningfully.The chief guard is so impatient, is it confirmed that Princess Custa's fiancé will be replaced?

Palmer thought about it and slowly walked back to the corridor of Huiyue Temple.Suddenly, he noticed that the door of the chief guard's study room was ajar.He is very familiar with this place, and he often chats with Altai in this room while sipping Jintan honey tea.He came to the back of the desk, gently opened the drawer, and a strange magic formation diagram suddenly appeared on the top sheet of a pile of parchment.

These are not the runes and formations in the Aranti magic system.It is somewhat similar to the magic circle at the top of the cave where Mason was captured.

The next few pages contain some confidential archives.Palmer frowned.These are not authorized by the Chief Guard.He read carefully one by one.

Most of these materials are the presbyterians and the former presbyterians speculated on the secret arts and runes taught by Kedile Shan Miluo through the characteristics of the victims.Often twisted runes appear on the corpses of victims, resembling dancing black snakes.

One of the files was about Elder Abelson.It turned out that after Elder Abelson, who was still a high-ranking guard, rescued his father from Miluo Cultists, his father's memory was only confused, and there was no abnormality in other things.But their secret camp is raided.During the fierce battle, Ebelson was stabbed in the back by his father. He was seriously injured and watched his father kill his mother and many comrades in arms in the same way.In the end, under the suppression of the sacred weapon of the Alante people, the Palech Scepter, the Alantea won a disastrous victory.The strange and distorted runes appeared on the bodies of the Miluo cultists who died afterwards and Abelson's father!

Palmer looked through it carefully, and Altai paid special attention to the runes of the Kedileshan Miluo religion, and there were actually many research notes in the drawer.He seemed to have deciphered the meaning of some of the runes.

"Sacrificial Blood"

"Sacrificing Souls"

"Forever Belongs"

"Eat Your Heart"

By the time Palmer left, the desk had been restored.He noticed that there was no movement outside, so he quietly exited the study.Palmer left the chief guard's study with a normal expression.He didn't know that Altai was standing at the corner silently watching his back as he walked away quickly.The scar on the side of Altai's face has healed into a shallow line, making his rigid facial contours as treacherous and treacherous as the falling rocks of Yimeki.
