Chapter 71: The Red Fox Leader Resurrects (Part 1)
【Pseudo-blank statue】
The moment the altar scene reappeared in the dream, the system gave this name in due time.
Chen Shuang dismissed the image of the gray-white statue from her mind and returned her gaze to the manor in front of her.
"No introduction."
Apart from the most basic name, the bottom of the page where details should be written is blank. Perhaps only by seeing this statue with your own eyes can you know what it is.
She raised her heels and headed in the direction the Creator had left.
However, based on the dream images and the process of obtaining these images, many clues can be obtained.
Rick Wilson's consciousness hid this altar. As a fear hidden in the deepest part of his heart, even his own memory deliberately downplayed the existence of this place.
It was not until the human mind completely collapsed under the dominance of nightmares that the subconscious mind presented a vague picture.
Whether it's the elusive Beast King, the strange statues and altars in the dream, or the lost and stolen Book of Creation, the root of all this is inseparable from the Wilson family.
"Stop!"
Chen Shuang stopped immediately.
But the voice wasn't directed at her.
Look forward.
The Creator quietly blended into the passing servants, but before he could gain a firm foothold, a hurried figure appeared not far away and quickly approached the small group in front of him.
She held her breath and watched quietly.
"You hear me? Stop!"
The older middle-aged man hurried over and grabbed the Creator's arm. "I told you to go pick up the wizard, where have you been?"
The Creator glanced at the person holding his wrist, lowered his head, and his eyes moved rapidly: "Something happened just now, so I was delayed for a while."
The middle-aged man looked him up and down, and said with dismay, "Did you go drinking again?"
He patted the creator's shoulder and consoled him, "It's just that your wife ran away a long time ago, your children don't recognize you, your work isn't going well, your parents are ashamed of you, and you're ugly and have a terrible voice..."
"But you're still young, you'll definitely make it through."
Creator: “…”
Why are you cursing in front of people?
Looking at the sincere expression of the middle-aged man in front of him, for the sake of his own hidden cause, he endured the humiliation and nodded: "I will."
"That's right."
The middle-aged man changed the subject again: "What about the wizard?"
"I asked you to go to the forest to pick up the wizard two days ago. Didn't you say that was your hometown and you could definitely bring him back?"
The middle-aged man's sharp eyes swept over the Creator: "Where is he?"
Do I look like a wizard to you?
The creator's palms were sweating. Facing the pressing gaze, he steeled himself and said, "My Lord said there was something urgent. I'll be there for a short while, but I'll be there soon."
The middle-aged man said in a loud voice: "You are lying!"
The Creator's breathing tightened. He silently glanced at the servants around him, and caution gradually grew in his eyes.
We must not be exposed here. If we are discovered, we will have to deal with these people first.
Just as the tense atmosphere began to spread, the middle-aged man in front of him suddenly sighed: "You didn't go to see the wizard, did you? I knew you were uneasy after what happened."
"It's just that your wife is marrying a second time. That man is richer, more handsome, more eloquent, and more considerate than you. It's no big deal to hide him from drinking. Brother, I understand the pain in your heart."
Creator: “…”
How come you know better than the person involved?
His guard relaxed a little, and then the middle-aged man pulled him over and clapped him in a friendly manner. The other party reminisced, "I've been through it too, I understand you."
The creator looked at the tearful "fellow traveler" in front of him, was silent for a moment, raised his hand and patted his shoulder in return: "You must be strong."
"It's all in the past," the middle-aged man waved his hand. "We're both equally miserable. Sigh, let's not talk about it anymore."
The Creator nodded in agreement: "Let's not talk about this anymore."
If we talk about misery, you are the most miserable, big brother.
The middle-aged man in front of him showed a layer of pride again: "I guessed that you would make a mistake, so I went to the trouble to find a few wizards and sent a magical message to inform the wizard in advance. How about it, we are good friends, right?"
He snapped his fingers and said, "According to the time, it should be here today."
"I hope I can make it in time," he murmured, "but I hope I won't delay the master's business."
A wizard is coming?
The Creator secretly glanced in Chen Shuang's direction.
I hope this so-called wizard will not interfere with the High Priest's work.
The Creator looked up and smiled as he responded, "Big Brother is truly a capable member of the Wilson Family. He will surely become the Master's most valued servant."
"Of course," the middle-aged man smiled and urged, "I've been looking for you for a long time. Come with me quickly, everyone is here."
"Where are you going?"
"I told you you were drunk, but you still refuse to admit it. Go back to the old place and wait for the arrival of the Master Wizard." The middle-aged man suddenly showed an excited expression and whispered in a low voice, "We have finally been chosen this time to follow the head of the family and the Master Wizard to meet that supreme being. What a great honor this is."
Supreme Being, audience, honor...
So many coincidental words come together, which makes people pay attention.
The Creator's eyes suddenly flashed with astonishing light, like a hyena catching an antelope, his eyes filled with the excitement of obtaining information.
[Calling the High Priest, calling the High Priest, the target has been found. I request to go undercover. Please continue to follow up.]
A response soon came from the mental network.
[Well, I'll wait for you]
After receiving the response, the Creator immediately perked up and nodded to the middle-aged man: "Let's go quickly and don't let others wait anxiously."
Before leaving, he secretly glanced at the corner where Chen Shuang had just stood, but there was no one there.
It seems that the High Priest has left.
He quietly encouraged himself.
Every outstanding undercover agent has a heart as bright as gold. Even if he goes deep into the tiger's abyss alone, he can still complete the mission.
He wanted to lay this secret beautifully, brilliantly, and brilliantly, until he became the number one undercover agent in the Dark Temple.
Although he might be the only undercover agent in the Dark Temple.
The brave and high-spirited creator followed the middle-aged elder brother along the neat cobblestone road leading to the center of the entire manor.
The lavishly decorated buildings unfolded before my eyes, and the sound of conversations gradually came over the wind.
"Yes, I know him. I held him in my arms when he was a child. I heard that the boy is divorced now. Time really plays tricks on people."
A young voice came over on the wind, and the voice said with a smile: "It's just that the witchcraft is well maintained, so she looks young. But for the sake of our cooperation and friendship, please don't ask about her age."
The Creator lowered his head and moved it slightly, with some doubts in his mind: Why does this voice sound so familiar?
He suddenly looked up and looked towards the center of the building.
A black-hooded figure appeared before his eyes, and an innate awe of the Creator filled his entire body, causing the creator born from the earth to open his eyes wide.
Yes...it's the High Priest.
The creature, completely shrouded in a cloak, turned and nodded to its creator: "It's you."
"you……"
He held down his pounding heart.
As expected of the High Priest.
It seems that his ranking as an undercover agent in the Dark Temple will be relegated.
The Creator suppressed his other expressions, bowed respectfully to the priest in front of him, and said respectfully, "Good day, Master Wizard."
Patriarch Wilson withdrew his scrutinizing gaze.
The servant at home who knew the wizard also confirmed her identity. The time matched, the witness matched, and the strong magical aura that just dissipated from the other party and the superb way of arriving seemed to indicate that it was indeed true.
Recalling the shocking way of descent that had just happened before his eyes, his eyelids drooped slightly, and the shock in his heart still lingered.
A massive magic circle crashed down, and within the rapidly spinning center, a black shadow gradually took shape. The flowers on the manor's landscape trees were blown to the ground by the sudden hurricane, and from within emerged this unknown wizard.
The moment his eyes met hers, the fifty-year-old Wilson family head suddenly felt a chill on his back, as if he was being stared at by some ferocious beast.
Although the feeling of scrutiny quickly dissipated, the remaining tension in the body was not so easy to dissipate.
He is a powerful person.
A look of satisfaction appeared in the eyes of the Wilson family head.
As long as the "weight" is enough, the identity is not very important.
If the plan succeeds, there will be nothing to fear even if the wizard is wanted by the Duskwood where he belongs.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and the fifty-year-old Wilson family head smiled gently: "Your arrival has really helped us a lot."
"There's been a lot of unrest at home lately. A servant said they've seen some dark creatures hiding," the head of the household said with lingering fear. "Those evil dark creatures are capable of all sorts of evil. Just thinking about it keeps me awake."
He pleaded, "I heard that the Duskwood's searching techniques are very good at tracking, so I asked someone to find you. Don't worry, I will pay you the highest reward."
"I see."
The wizard in front of him said, "Don't worry, it will be resolved soon."
Chen Shuang looked at the old man in front of her and suggested, "Let's start now. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can rest."
"You're right."
Patriarch Wilson smiled, then turned to the servants and shouted, "Come in and serve the wizard."
"Respected wizard, please follow me," he said, still smiling, "I will take you to the place where the dark creature was first discovered."
Chen Shuang smiled: "Please."
The Creator followed the large group in small steps, and from time to time he looked up at the steady back of the Creator in front of him, his eyes full of admiration.
It seems that he still has a long way to go in terms of being an undercover agent.
*
They walked down the narrow path until they could no longer see the sky. The surroundings were only illuminated by candles. The hazy light swayed in front of their eyes, and the head of the Wilson family in front of them stopped.
"Master Wizard, we are here."
Chen Shuang stopped.
"Why don't you keep going?"
The head of the family, with his back to the crowd, paused for a moment and suddenly began to laugh. The sound became louder and weirder, until the servants who followed him trembled in discomfort and huddled together, and then he stopped.
"I have accomplished my mission."
Patriarch Wilson sighed and said, "It's time to meet that supreme being with reverence and life."
"Bang—"
As a huge sound rang out, the heavy stone door behind him fell heavily, and the inscriptions engraved on it instantly unfolded, moving on the wall like a snake.
The entire underground cave was sealed in an instant.
The servants were in a panic.
Chen Shuang glanced over there and said, "Quiet."
The terrified servants were frightened by the mysterious wizard and huddled in the corner with their hands covering their mouths.
"madman."
The Creator gritted his teeth, swiftly stepped forward, and held the Wilson family head hostage, pressing a knife against his neck, saying viciously, "Open the stone door quickly, or I'll kill you."
What responded to him was not a fierce struggle, but a limp body.
Chen Shuang glanced at him and said, "Don't worry about him, he's already dead."
"Dead?"
The creator let go, and the head of the family fell to the ground in front of him, his face blue and purple, and he was no longer breathing.
"What a lunatic."
The angry Creator kicked the old man and cursed, "You've lost your life just to lure us in."
"It's to lure that wizard in," Chen Shuang looked at the gray-white sculpture on the platform from afar, "and maybe they don't think it's a death sentence..."
"This is an audience," another voice came from the shadows, with a low and hoarse tone. The voice coughed a few times and was obviously not in good condition.
He said, "For the Wilson family, the head of the family is just a consumable. Any direct descendant or side branch can be elected."
"And the elders are the ones who wield power in this family."
The voice was filled with weariness: "Find a way to leave here quickly, human."
Accompanied by the sound of heavy chains, a huge figure emerged from the shadows.
The huge red fox with dull fur said tiredly, "If you keep dragging this out, you'll all turn into nutrients."
His glazed eyes swept over everyone: "Use all your strength and run away desperately."
A sigh was hidden in the wind.
"Maybe a miracle will happen."
