Chapter 607 Key
On the outskirts of Gramorn, on top of a hill beside the Star Lake, at this moment, an old man was standing alone in the breeze blowing over the lake.
This old man had thinning hair, bulging eyes, deep wrinkles, a pale face, and a thin and hunched body. He was wrapped in a loose dark robe embroidered with spikes and spider patterns. He was leaning on a rotten wooden cane in his skinny hands and his cloudy eyes were gazing at the wide lake in front of him.
This old man is one of the high-ranking officials of the Eight-Pointed Nest, known as the Spider Fang Priest. Currently, he is standing on one of the mountains beside the Star Lake, overlooking the entire lake with a solemn look, and his expression is so focused as if he wants to find some treasure from it.
He stood on the top of the desolate hill, looking around alone for dozens of minutes without moving an inch. No matter how the wind on the top of the hill blew on him, he did not waver at all, as if he was clinging to a rotten wood.
"Heh... you're still working hard here. What can you expect from just standing here all day? You might as well save your energy for the night."
At this time, a female voice came from behind the Spider Fang Priest. After hearing this voice, the Spider Fang Priest, who had been motionless like a rotten wood, slowly raised his head and looked in the direction where the voice came from. Then he saw a tall woman slowly walking towards him.
This is a woman with long black curly hair, dark red eyes, a large braided hat, a dark dress with spider silk patterns, bright red lips, and thick eyeliner. She has a gorgeous face.
This woman looked to be around 27 or 28 years old. Compared to ordinary women, she was tall, almost three meters taller than the hunchbacked old man, and was estimated to be about 1.8 meters tall. When she walked to the side of the Spider Fang Priest, the Spider Fang Priest turned his gaze from the woman to the wide lake in front of him.
"We have been searching here for several days, but we haven't found the entrance yet. All along, we have focused our search at night, but there has been no results. I'm wondering if we should change our thinking and make some attempts during the day." The Spider Fang Priest continued to look at the lake in front of him and said slowly, and listening to the words of the Spider Fang Priest, the woman he designed sneered and spoke.
"Make some attempts in Tian? Don't be ridiculous. How could the secret of that moon bitch be revealed in Tian, under the radiance of the Source of Light? It would be a sheer waste of energy to arrange operations in Tian. If we also cover such a large lake with mist and blood in Tian, I'm afraid that in the end our spirit and body will not be able to bear it. The recovery is obviously not as fast as the consumption. If we also have no results for several days in a row and instead use up all our spirit, what should we do if we encounter any unexpected situation?"
As she spoke, the woman narrowed her eyes slightly, and a hint of danger was revealed in her dark red pupils.
"Don't forget, according to the intelligence from Tivian, we are not the only ones who know about this place. The alert faction in the royal family and the Black Dog Bureau, or the mysterious Heavenly Judge Cult, may all know about this place. If they take advantage of the situation and make a move, the consequences will be disastrous... Board..."
The woman spoke this slowly, with a hint of warning in her words. Hearing the woman's words, the Spider Fang Priest was startled, and then he remembered the thunder that he witnessed in Tivian more than half a year ago. At first, he didn't know what kind of extraordinary power could cause such thunder and lightning, until a few months later, news came from Adus in Beiwu that the Judge of Heaven had reappeared and risen in the world.
"The Heavenly Judge Cult... Why would an association that is supposed to be active in Beiwu suddenly get involved in Putt's affairs? The undead from the First Dynasty are not busy fighting among themselves, but instead have the leisure to meddle in the affairs of the Wind Stone Kingdom..."
The Spider Fang Priest named Boad said this thoughtfully. After listening to Boad's words, the woman continued to speak slowly.
"Most of those thousands of years old undead are lunatics whose brains have long been damaged. It's not surprising that they would do something wrong. The key now is not to figure out their motives, but to handle the current situation and find the temple of the Moon Bitch from this damn lake. There can't be any mistakes in the process.
"According to what you said, we also deployed blood mist in Tiantian. There are many boats and people on the Tiantian Lake. Not only will it be more difficult to control, but if we still can't find the entrance in a short period of time, the spiritual damage will be serious. At night, the ability to control the lake will be reduced, and the guys hiding in the dark will take advantage of the situation. According to the intelligence of the Night Demon, those people are much more likely to be the alert faction in the royal family than that cult. If that group of people try their best to hide themselves and sneak in, we will not be able to prevent them without blood mist to monitor the lake..."
Staring at Bo'ade beside her, the woman spoke with a very serious look. After listening to the woman's words, Bo'ade couldn't help but pause, then he sighed slightly and spoke.
"You have a point, Gasemore. We really shouldn't waste our spiritual energy on the blood mist when we are in the sky... However, this doesn't mean we should completely give up the exploration of the sky. We can still send a few people to the lake to explore. Who knows, maybe we can find something."
"It's up to you. Just send your own people. I can't do anything about it. Just don't try to touch anything I have." After listening to Board's words, the man called Gusmore casually waved his hand, and then spoke with a rather contemptuous look. Seeing the other party's attitude, Board couldn't help but frowned.
"Gesmore, the Nest sent the two of us here to carry out such an important mission. We should work together. What's wrong with asking your people to contribute more?" Board said in a deep voice to the woman beside him. Listening to Board's words, Gesmore did not appreciate it very much.
"Work together? You seem to have made a mistake. I am not here to cooperate with you or be ordered around by you. My mission here is to cover for you. To prevent you from messing things up again like you did at the beginning of the year, causing the nest to spend a lot of effort this year. Don't forget my identity. You are a priest and I am a 'Witch'. I have already given you face by cooperating with your actions at night. Do you still want to take advantage of me and order me around?"
With a slightly arrogant attitude, Gasmore squinted his eyes slightly, looked at Board with contempt in the corner of his eyes and said, "After listening to his companion's words, Board's hand holding the cane slightly tightened, as if he had suppressed his surging emotions a little before speaking."
"I admit that you are of noble status, Gasemore, but you should also be aware that if something goes wrong during this mission, your status will not exempt you from much punishment..."
"Go wrong? Haha... As long as I stay calm and don't listen to your nonsense suggestions about setting up blood mist in the sky, there will be no problem. I said that my main responsibility here is to cover the whole operation. As long as I am here, even if those hidden alerts send two or three red officials, there is no need to be afraid...
