Chapter 319: What have you seen that is more terrifying than the Lord of Eternal Nightmare?

When he realized that the visitor was the real messenger from the Land of Contract, Lyle felt like his heart and lungs were about to stop working.

What the hell?!

Wasn't the messenger from the Land of Contract already killed by Lord Visas? ! How come there's a new one? !

So now it's my turn to prove my identity to him? !

At this moment, all kinds of thoughts flooded into Lyle's mind at the same time, especially when Isaiah's scrutinizing gaze fell on him. Lyle was already wondering whether Lord Visas would help him after he proved his failure.

Isaiah's eyes kept wandering between Lyle and the new messenger's faces.

The new messenger had a poker face and his expression did not change much. Lyle also had a poker face, perhaps because the news came too suddenly and he had not yet reacted.

only……

Isaiah saw clearly that when the new messenger appeared, Lyle's fingers twitched abnormally twice, which immediately made him make a judgment, but he did not show it. Instead, he smiled and asked the new messenger: "Are you also from the Land of Covenant, like this one?"

After Isaiah finished speaking, the new messenger's eyes naturally fell on Lyle.

That extremely scrutinizing look immediately made Lyle's blood run cold. He could not help but grit his teeth, ready to fight with the people here.

But what Lyle didn't expect was that the new envoy from the Land of Contract just glanced at him and nodded: "Well, it turns out to be you."

Lyle was slightly stunned.

What, what do you mean it was you?

Is your reaction so calm? I don't think you and I know each other.

Lyle's doubts were also Isaiah's doubts, but Isaiah did not show it. He just asked calmly: "Why, are you two both messengers from the Land of Contract?"

"Yes." The new messenger nodded, "But our missions are different. He stayed in Wuming Town to guide you to the gathering place, and I came from the headquarters to bring you a more urgent message."

"More urgent news?"

"Yes." The new messenger stroked his chest slightly, "Dela Town is about two days away from Nameless Town. Do you know it?"

"No, I don't know much about the land outside of Star Relics." Isaiah shook his head and asked, "Why, has the meeting place been moved there?"

"No, that's not it." The new messenger also shook his head. "A very dangerous person appeared there. After an urgent discussion in the Contract Land, we hope you can go and fight him."

Isaiah's hand, which was tapping on the table, suddenly stopped and he showed a surprised expression.

"The dangerous person I was asked to defeat?" Isaiah frowned slightly. "Is it Uru from Rhine?"

Isaiah's first thought was Uru, but Uru was the hand and eye, and the hand and eye had already told him his location, which was not in Dela Town at all. So if the hand and eye were in Dela Town, wouldn't it mean that the restraint of Taoyuan Township was of no use to the hand and eye?

Thinking of this, Isaiah's expression became so serious.

The new messenger shook his head: "No, not Uru."

If not Ulu, then who is it?

Tongue?

But first let’s not talk about how there is information about the tongue in the contract land, let’s talk about the tongue itself…

Isaiah turned and looked at Lyle.

Isn’t the tongue itself right here?

Isaiah was also puzzled for a rare time. Fortunately, the new messenger did not continue to play guessing games, but said directly: "It's not the person you know. This person is called Edwin, and he was once an apostle of the Eternal Nightmare. There are no body parts on his body, but he is very dangerous..."

The new messenger then informed Isaiah of Edwin's information.

After listening to this, Isaiah's frown relaxed a little.

As long as that guy is not a hand-eye, a hand-eye that is not bound by the rules of Taoyuan Township is really scary.

In comparison, a crazy scholar who has mastered forbidden knowledge is much more acceptable.

But how did this crazy scholar appear at this time?

Isaiah asked, "Why would you let me go to fight? Can't the Land of Contract send anyone else?"

"Bishop Loki of the Rhine and Archbishop Fenris of the Eternal Nightmare have already set off," the new messenger said, "but for safety's sake, I hope you can come along. We are still perfecting the facilities for the gathering, and we really can't spare more manpower... And have you forgotten that, in principle, the Land of the Contract is still not allowed to be released."

Isaiah smiled and said, "But now there are two messengers standing before me."

"This is already the limit." The new messenger touched his chest again, "Dear Mr. Isaiah, everything I said to you above is just a request from the Land of Contract. We have no right to order you to do anything, but we still hope you can help, because according to our judgment, if the crazy scholar is allowed to continue to ferment, the damage it will cause will definitely not be less than that of Uru who has five body parts."

"If you put it that way, I'm even more curious about what kind of knowledge he studied. Why did the three major churches join forces to strangle him? The threat level is even no less than that of Uru, who has five body parts." Isaiah raised his eyebrows. "But if I ask you this, you probably won't tell me, right?"

"The reason why it is taboo is that it should not leave any trace in anyone's brain, including mine." The new messenger said, "Believe me, Mr. Isaiah, you don't want to know."

While the new messenger was talking to Isaiah, Lyle on the side always had a confused expression on his face.

Who am I? Where am I? What should I do?

What are these people talking about? What kind of forbidden knowledge? Lord Visas didn't tell me either.

Although a smart lackey should know how to adapt to changing circumstances, this is a bit too... He didn't even know where to interrupt now, and could only stand aside and keep a poker face in silence.

Isaiah's eyes were still moving back and forth between the new messenger and Lyle's faces, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After a while, he slowly said, "I have received the invitation from the Land of Contract, but I think the cooperation of the two major churches, Rhine and Evernight, is enough. I will send someone to take a look, but I will not go there in person to join in the fun for the time being. Of course, I will wait here. If the situation really gets out of control, you can contact me again. I will not refuse at that time."

It was not a surprising answer. After all, even in the Contract Land, there was no way to casually send bishop-level figures to run errands. Sending a few proud subordinates to go was already a sign of importance. So the new messenger did not say anything more, but just patted his chest again and took his leave.

Seeing the genuine messenger leave, the impostor Lyle naturally could not sit still and hurriedly took his leave as well. Otherwise, if he was left alone to face Isaiah, it would be difficult for him to ensure that he would not make any mistakes.

Isaiah did not stop the two from leaving, but just nodded quietly.

After the two of them left the room, he still sat there thinking about something. After a while, Mina walked in.

"Teacher." Mina asked, "Is there something wrong with these two people?"

"The later one is fine," Isaiah said calmly, "the first one is."

"You mean Mr. Rice?" Mina had been listening in the next room. "Do you think he is the Tongue?"

Isaiah shook his head. “No, he doesn’t.”

“Not like?”

"Yes, this guy is too ordinary. Although he has tried hard to disguise himself, the fear he showed when facing me is about to overflow." Isaiah said, "It is hard for me to imagine that such a person can get three body parts."

Mina thought for a moment: "Could it be a disguise?"

"Then he disguised himself very well." Isaiah said with a smile, "And why did he disguise himself? If he wanted to avoid me, why did he come to my house in person?"

"You mean... this Mr. Rice is not the Tongue himself, but he might be someone sent by the Tongue?" Mina asked, "Then why did he do this?"

"Think about the reason why he came to me."

"I want to lead you to the way..." Mina's brows frowned a little bit, "No, I want to take you to the no-man's land."

"Yes." Isaiah nodded slightly. "Everyone knows that the Star Relic Warlock's strength is greatly reduced when there is no starry sky. If he really wants to attack me, it is best to do it in the no-man's land."

"Does he really want to do something to you?"

"He may not necessarily want to attack me. He may also want to find a better place to negotiate with me." Isaiah said with a smile, "Just like what he said in Taoyuan Township, he just wants to get rid of this hot potato as soon as possible to avoid becoming everyone's target. But negotiations also require a good location. He doesn't want to attack me, but he also has to be on guard against me attacking him."

Mina nodded thoughtfully, but soon asked, "But how did he know your identity?"

"Maybe it's Taoyuan Township."

"Taoyuan Township?"

"Yes." Isaiah said calmly, "Until now, I still know too little about Taoyuan Township. I only know that the more body parts you have, the more 'authorities' you will have in Taoyuan Township. Just like hands and eyes, he first had two body parts, and he was able to unconditionally pull us, who only had one body part, into Taoyuan Township, and we didn't even have the means to refuse. If two body parts can do this, what about three body parts?"

Mina opened her mouth wider and wider: "Does that mean that three pieces of corpse can identify the identity of everyone in Taoyuan Township?"

"It shouldn't have reached that point yet." Isaiah shook his head. "If that were the case, there would be no reason for him to come to me first. Especially if he knew I had this eye and knew the rules of this eye, then he should know that there are no restrictions on me in the no-man's land, and it would be best to find other people. But obviously, he didn't know this, so I think the three body parts should allow him to better sense the existence of the other body part holders, but he shouldn't know which body part the other party has... I even think he has no way to determine who the other party is, and can only sense a rough range."

"Is that so?"

Mina admired Isaiah more and more. He was able to infer so much information based on existing facts, while she could not think of anything.

"Then why don't you take advantage of his trick?" Mina asked, "Use this information gap and follow him to the no-man's land. Then you will have absolute initiative, right?"

Isaiah smiled at Mina and said, "I know you have great confidence in me, and I don't think I will lose to him, but he has three pieces of body after all. Why should I take the risk alone? And if he gets away, not only will my identity be exposed, but I will also lose most of my energy. How will I deal with my hands and eyes then? That guy is still watching in the dark."

Mina then remembered that Isaiah’s goal had always been the hands and eyes.

"Everyone is leaning towards this side now." Isaiah said leisurely, "Whoever makes the first move will be exposed first and will fall into the hands and eyes. That's why I will stay here under the name of 'Innocent Night'. As long as I stay in the open, no one will dare to do anything. Of course, I can't rule out the possibility that he will take risks, but at that time, he will become the target of public criticism and I won't need to fight him one-on-one."

Mina had completely understood, and said with great admiration: "Teacher, you are worthy of being me. You have calculated everything."

"No, there are two things I don't understand." Isaiah shook his head slowly, "First, what's the matter with that guy named Les? If he is really Tongue's subordinate, why didn't the people in the Land of Contract expose him?"

"...Maybe the people in the Contract Land don't know each other?" Mina asked, "They also rely on signs to identify each other."

"It is indeed possible," Isaiah said, "but I don't think that the Land of Contract, which has stood for a thousand years, can't even make this distinction. That's not belittling them, but belittling us. After all, the Land of Contract is above all other churches. Is this the only strength it has?"

Hearing Isaiah say this, Mina also felt that something was wrong, but before she could express her opinion, Isaiah spoke again.

"As for the second thing..." He raised his head and looked into the distance, "What's going on with that scholar who touched the taboo? Why did he appear at this time?"

After thinking for a moment, he turned and looked at Mina.

"Go and have a look."

…

The town of Della.

Edwin was lying in a pool of blood, gasping for breath. There were messy corpses piled around him, making him look like he was sitting in the middle of a slaughterhouse.

This corpse is from the "Nightmare Servant" of Eternal Nightmare, which is the most powerful hunting force of the Eternal Nightmare Church.

They themselves are nightmares.

But these nightmares were torn apart before they could unfold, torn to pieces by the red-haired girl in front of him.

"How did you do that..." His voice trembled a little.

"What?"

Helvinia turned and looked at Edwin.

In this horrifying scene, Hevinia was unusually clean, without even a speck of blood on her body.

"The nightmares of Nightmare Servant cannot be interrupted, because the moment you see them, fear will spread in your mind, and you can't do anything at that time."

"But I didn't feel scared."

"That's the problem." Edwin stared at Hevinia. "This is a nightmare from the Lord of Eternal Nightmare. Only those of us who have faced the Lord of Eternal Nightmare can have some resistance, but it's just a little resistance. But you are different. You don't feel afraid at all..."

"So, what did you see?"

"Can it be more terrifying than the Lord of Eternal Nightmare?!"
