Chapter 652 Cup
"Could it be the legendary [Circle of Truth] that gave the Marquis the confidence to compete with the Duke?"
Hearing this, a representative of the kingdom wearing a scarlet mask spoke with some confusion in the chaotic hall.
"The Circle of Truth?"
Glancing at the person who asked the question, the Marquis's envoy slowly shook his head.
"It is not convenient to disclose the specific name of the force for the time being, but I can assure you that the force we are cooperating with will only be stronger than the Ring of Truth!"
Hearing this, almost everyone looked doubtful, and only Avis nodded in agreement.
Indeed, in terms of hard power, the Ring of Truth is not that strong.
"Don't you believe it? Well, in order to dispel your doubts, we have specially prepared sufficient means to prove it."
Anticipating everyone's reactions, the messenger smiled and suddenly took off the half-black, half-silver mask on his face.
As he moved, everyone could clearly see that a large number of extremely complex magic patterns were densely covered behind the mask, which seemed to be some kind of powerful sealing measure.
And when the mask was taken off, an extremely strange and powerful aura suddenly emanated from the messenger's body.
Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, the messenger suddenly inserted his right hand deep into his face, as if taking out an item from a locker, and slowly pulled out a slightly illusory crimson cup.
The moment the cup appeared, a strange feeling of restlessness and boiling instantly filled the entire banquet hall.
The tune of the music became crazier, the air was stained with a light crimson, a faint sweet and bloody smell filled the environment, and whispers of temptation sounded from the bottom of everyone's heart.
The faces of the people on the stage gradually became distorted. They twisted their bodies madly and grabbed their own and others' limbs with force, leaving bloody traces.
But they seemed to feel nothing about it. Under the combined effects of the potion and the aura of the red cup, even the pain turned into an extreme pleasure.
Representatives of many forces nearby were also shocked by this sudden change, and then inevitably affected by the strange cup.
His breath became turbid and heavy, and his eyes turned a faint scarlet, as if he was about to transform into a wild beast and join the wild-like crowd on the stage.
Only the deputy leader of [Starfire], Xu Te, opened the mental shield in time to protect the three weaker people behind him and prevent them from being negatively affected.
At the same time, Avis, who was watching, suddenly felt that a source of absorbing the power of desire seemed to have appeared again in the field. There was some unknown thing that was like the center of a vortex, pulling the power of desire in the whole field.
Compared to his nascent Seed of Desire, this cup's ability to control the power of desire is much stronger. The difference in suction between the two is almost equivalent to the difference between a bathroom floor drain and a sewer.
As the power of desire continued to pour in, a liquid as dazzling as a ruby suddenly began to condense from the bottom of the cup. It was the crystallization of the power of desire with an incomparable concentration.
When Avis discovered all this, the messenger also turned his head instantly and looked in his direction with a wooden expression. The gaze was completely unlike that of a living person, as if some higher-level existence was using his body to look at Avis.
At this moment, Avis suddenly felt that the desire in his heart began to grow wildly and uncontrollably.
But in the next moment, the seeds of desire in his spiritual space began to rotate on their own, absorbing and eliminating all these weed-like desires.
Noticing this situation, the 'Messenger' raised his hand slightly with an expressionless face and pointed it in the direction of Avis, as if he was going to make some kind of attack.
However, just as Avis was about to face this sudden battle, the mask in the messenger's hand suddenly floated up automatically, and then, as if it were some kind of pre-set program, it was quickly put back on the messenger's face.
The next moment, the messenger's eyes regained clarity. He looked in the direction of Avis with some fear, then put his hand down and nodded in the direction of Avis, indicating that he had no hostility.
At this time, the cup was already more than half full of liquid, and the scarlet body of the cup became even brighter. If one stared at it for a little longer, it would give one a sense of evil, as if it were a living thing.
As the messenger took the cup back, the fanatical atmosphere that had just formed in the venue began to slowly fade away and return to its previous state.
Only the faint smell of blood in the air still reminded them of the strange scene that had just happened here.
"That cup...what an evil and terrifying power..."
Staring blankly at the decadent scenes around them, even though they were protected by Shuster, Alyssa, Roche and Matt still looked pale and felt a little nauseous from the rich and sweet smell of blood in the air.
However, Xuster himself did not react much, he just frowned slightly because of the power of the cup.
"How is it, everyone? Have you felt the great power of God?"
As the shadow of the cup returned to his body, the messenger opened his arms and looked at the representatives of various forces who had just woken up from a dream.
At this moment, his own strength rank has shown a significant rise. Originally he was only a seventh rank, but now, his aura has risen to a level that even Xiu Te can hardly see through.
“I have done so much, I just want to tell you that, unlike the false gods of the church, there are real gods standing behind us.
There is no need to be afraid or doubtful. In this war, we will surely win the final victory! As long as you join our camp, you will also have the hope of obtaining this great power!"
“If there is any force willing to join our camp, it can leave its mark on this alliance contract now.
The Marquis will pay a price that satisfies you. In addition, the earlier you join us, the more generous the reward you will receive. "
As he spoke, the messenger took out a strange scarlet magic contract. The surface of the paper seemed to be flowing with blood, but it turned into gas the moment it dripped and merged back into the contract.
Looking at the messenger's excited tone, everyone's eyes flickered.
They did see the strange increase in the strength of the envoy. If the Marquis had such power, then the outcome of this war would be hard to predict.
After a moment's silence, representatives from several small and medium-sized kingdoms in the Federation and some small nobles from the Alliance of Glory chose to sign the magic agreement with the envoy.
They were the first group of people who were brave enough to try something new, and they were also a signpost for other top federation forces. If there were really no problems, then more major federation forces would quickly follow suit like sharks smelling blood.
After carefully reading the contents of the agreement, Xuster also chose to sign the contract.
Although it looks evil on the outside, there are no loopholes in the content of the contract and there are very few restrictions. It only requires them not to attack the forces of the marquis and their allies, and not to help the camps of the four major families of the empire in any way.
This pact is a special kind of insurance designed to circumvent normal divination spells.
The magic of prophecy is not omnipotent. If it involves special powers of extremely high status, it can also be easily confused.
