Chapter 654 Experiment
Soon, just as the messenger had taken it out before, the red cup reappeared in Avis’s hand.
Even without anyone urging it, it still exudes a juicy and restless aura of desire.
Similar to Avis's Seed of Desire, it is not actually a magical item, but a special existence composed of alien forces.
Just by holding it like this, Avis could feel that the seed of desire in his spiritual space had begun to tremble slightly. He felt both the fear of facing the superior being and the desire to go further.
However, at this moment, only half of the ruby-like crystal of desire power in the cup remained. The rest had disappeared, presumably due to consumption during the battle with Avis.
"Those sacred artifacts... Are you from the Vatican? No, that's impossible! Even those mad dogs in the Inquisition would at most embrace darkness, but they would never embark on the path of desire!"
On the ground, the messenger, whose body was bound by magic, lay stiffly. He could only turn his eyes to watch Avis's movements and try to speak.
"You are definitely connected to a high-ranking official in the Vatican! Only this can explain the origin of your rare item!"
"Whatever you think."
Avis smiled slightly and did not directly answer the messenger's question.
After getting what he wanted, Avis continued to check the personal belongings of the messenger and the eighth-level storm warlock beside him, intending to see if there were any unexpected surprises.
"...Sir, there is actually no need for us to be hostile to each other. The generosity of God is unimaginable to mortals. If your goal is the power of desire, then you can take it away."
As Avis searched their belongings, the messenger spoke again, trying to convert Avis to his side.
“We regularly hold banquets of desire like tonight in many cities across the Federation.
If you agree to join us, we can provide you with more power of desire. If you are worried about the authenticity of my invitation, I can even swear to the gods. "
"Oh, thank you for your 'kindness', Your Excellency the Envoy, but I do not intend to join you."
After checking the spoils, Avis shook his head and declined the invitation. Inexplicably, the messenger seemed to hear a hint of disappointment and...sympathy from his tone? "With only these little things, I guess your life must be very difficult, right?"
Under the messenger's wary and incredulous gaze, Avis returned the things to him and then turned and left.
After Avis disappeared for a while, the magic effect on the messenger was lifted.
After using some magic power to eliminate the discomfort in his body, the messenger looked at the direction where Avis disappeared and felt a little absurd.
Is he really that poor? That his enemies would not even bother to accept the spoils?
Or maybe the enemy did not take away their personal belongings out of some concerns.
"What a strange guy! He seems to know my identity and has a very clear goal... We must report this to the Apostle and the Marquis immediately. There is a high possibility that an unknown force is involved in this incident."
The envoy's mind was a little confused. He stopped thinking and rushed back to the empire with his guards, preparing to report the incident directly to the people behind him. . ….….On the other side, after letting the envoy go, Avis returned to the venue.
He did not choose to kill the envoys, as this would not solve any problems. At most, it would ask the marquises to increase the protection force and then send out more envoys to continue contacting external forces in other places he did not know about.
It would be better to take away the cup and send the messenger back to be suspicious.
At this moment, most of the people in the venue had not had time to disperse, including the seventh-level city lord himself. The professionals in the dance floor were basically in a state between coma and wakefulness.
It seems that the people from the [Spark] organization are not present at the moment, as if they have left early.
As the deputy commander of Xinghuo, Xiu Te usually has to personally review and decide on many things. This time, he came here specially to meet with the envoy and brought Roche and the other two to broaden their horizons, which took a lot of time.
And when the cup in Avis's hand reappeared on the field, the scene just now happened again.
A faint power of desire began to overflow from the bodies of all the professionals participating in the carnival in the entire castle, and the bright liquid like a ruby in the cup began to gradually fill up again.
But correspondingly, as the source of the power of desire, those professionals who were originally semi-conscious were continuously drained of desire and were now beginning to develop into a deeper coma.
Avis wasn't sure what would happen if this situation continued, but it was probably not a good thing.
Sensing the changes in the status of these professionals, Avis raised his eyebrows slightly, and tried to use the power of the Seed of Desire to construct a seal to wrap the cup inside.
The effect is not bad. Although it cannot completely block the passive effect of the cup, it can already suppress most of it. If the original speed of the cup absorbing the power of desire was 100, now it is only about 1 to 2.
Indeed, these people may not be good people. If what they have done were judged according to the Imperial Code, it would probably be enough to execute them all.
But they might be useful to him later, so it would be better not to waste them.
After using his mental power to explore the situation in the entire castle, Avis held the cup in one hand and teleported to the open-air banquet in the castle courtyard.
Here, a large number of low-level professionals were lying in a mess with confused smiles on their faces, indulging in beautiful dreams, and unaware of everything around them.
Looking around, Avis controlled his magic power to move away the debris on the ground in front of him, leaving only a familiar-looking professional lying in the middle.
That was his acquaintance, the villain who had knocked him out and brought him into the castle in exchange for a position as deputy captain of the city guard and a bottle of [Beast Blood Glory] potion. His name seemed to be Cohen.
He was smiling at the moment. Avis tried to activate the spell-like [Entering Dreams] attached to the Old Secret Scriptures and took a peek into Cohen's dream.
In the dream, Cohen seemed to have broken through to the second level and successfully transferred from deputy captain to official captain of the city guard. He was currently arrogant and domineering in the city.
After setting up multiple layers of magic barriers around to prevent it from affecting the outside world, Avis untied the restraints again and placed the cup next to Cohen.
He wanted to see what would happen if he did not impose any restrictions and allowed his desires to be absorbed by the cup.
Soon, the results came out.
Under Avis's gaze, as the red cup approached, Cohen's already overflowing smile began to become more twisted and crazy.
A large amount of almost materialized desire power continued to overflow from his body. At the same time, under the influence of an unknown force, the power of the dream potion in his body was instantly consumed at an alarming speed.
But after the effect of the drug wore off, Cohen did not wake up, and the dreams generated by his desires continued.
According to Avis's observation, the flow of time in the dream began to accelerate, the plot developed rapidly, and Cohen's strength in the dream also increased rapidly.
Level three, level four, level five... until level seven, Cohen had become the commander of the Dragon Shadow City's city guards, and then one night he launched a rebellion, killed the current Dragon Shadow City lord, and replaced him with himself.
