"What's this?"
In the Palace of the Lord of Kalkaran City, at this moment, the team led by the Blue Magic Swordsman Roche has sneaked into the depths of the underground of the main magic tower.
Over the course of several months, based on the information they extracted from the captives and the clues they found on the strange cylinder, they gradually tracked down the largest city in the territory of Marquis Anrita, one of the nine marquises of the empire, the city of Karkarlan.
We have left the province of Karlas, and the local Spark Organization does not have much influence.
Due to the shortage of manpower and intelligence, Roche's investigation was extremely difficult. During this period, he was exposed at one point, and his true purpose was discovered by the minions of the mastermind behind the scenes. He was humiliated by the subsequent assassinations and obstructions.
In fact, Fiona was originally supposed to act together with the team on this trip, and rely on her powerful magical power to provide assistance and deepen their mutual bond.
But due to Anvis's intervention, the little girl is currently slacking off in the base under the guise of being the ambassador of Hualuotianxia.
Having lost his original core mage, Roche can only rely on himself and his teammates to complete the task.
However, as the destined man, even though there were many obstacles, Roche still miraculously overcame the difficulties, exploded his little universe, and with the help of his own powerful strength and a little bit of luck, he passed many levels and successfully sneaked into the core area.
Then, the real secret appeared before them.
In a vast underground hall lit with red candles, several mysterious spellcasters in black robes stood on a dark altar, presiding over the operation of a huge and strange dark red magic circle.
One by one, blindfolded human alien slaves were led up by the alchemical puppets and pushed into the magic circle. Then their bodies fell down silently like puppets, and their souls were absorbed by the magic circle and input into a crystal stone at the core of the magic circle.
The soulless body was taken away from the magic circle by the alchemical puppet and thrown into the scarlet blood pool under the altar, where it melted into blood.
On the sides of the magic circle and the blood pool, three lines with dark red light extended out. Each of them had a strange metal cylinder as a node, and they were connected together in pairs. It was unknown what their function was.
This horrific ritual was performed in front of Roach and others for the first time. The mastermind behind it was very cautious. This was the first time they had seen the cylinder actually in use in several months.
Moreover, there have been many wars breaking out in Marquis Anrita's territory recently, and these slaves were almost all captured in the wars. It would not attract attention by purchasing a large number of slaves in the market in a short period of time.
This cautious style made people suspect that there was a big conspiracy. Roche wanted to lead his men to retreat quietly as soon as possible, but was accidentally exposed.
As a last resort, Roche used a special magic straw to travel through space to seek help from the Spark Headquarters, while he himself held on.
After receiving the call for help, Leo, the ninth-level Spark Rebellion leader, attached great importance to it and immediately traveled through space to respond. However, he was blocked for a moment by a force of the same ninth level. When he finally succeeded in rescuing Roche and others, the team had already suffered losses and Roche was seriously injured.
But in the meantime, Leo also got two intact cylinders that had been specially treated and were filled with soul power and flesh and blood. The rest were destroyed in the aftermath of the battle.
As a professional of civilian origin, Leo studied it privately with the top leaders of the Spark Organization for a while, but in the end he was still confused and couldn't figure out what it was used for.
Moreover, after this incident, the Glory Alliance showed an unprecedented tough attitude. Three marquises came forward at the same time and began to vigorously clean up the branches of the Spark Organization. The branches of the Spark Organization in many areas were uprooted.
In this regard, Leo had to take the initiative to contact Avis and share information, hoping that Avis could help share some of the pressure in accordance with the previous agreement.
Therefore, as the ambassador of Hualuotianxia designated by Anvis, the task of delivering the message fell on Fiona.
After getting the new blood-colored cylinder from Xinghuo, the little girl knocked on Avis' door for the second time with a little trepidation.
Fiona has been living a very comfortable life recently. Thanks to Avis's instructions, other people are very polite to her. At the same time, with the help of Hualuotianxia's power, she can easily collect some resources she needs to restore her strength.
And with Avis's reputation as a cover, her situation is much safer now, and she doesn't have to maintain a disguise and live in fear all day long.
However, after all, she had done nothing and had been eating and drinking for free for several months. Now she was suddenly going to see Avis again, which made Fiona feel a little guilty.
"Come in—"
In the study, Avis welcomed her arrival just like last time.
Fiona walked into the room with a clatter, saluted formally to Avis, placed the blood-red metal pillar on the table, and conveyed the message from Starfire.
Looking at the metal cylinder on the table which had turned dark red and had some special patterns on its surface, Avis stroked the slightly warm material with his fingers and separated a line of thought to analyze it.
He seemed to have grasped something vaguely from this magic pattern structure that blended soul and flesh.
He glanced at the girl, who was blinking her big eyes and looking around, but her peripheral vision was always secretly staring at him. Avis motioned her to go back first and he would inform her if there was any news later.
In fact, he now has more things to deal with than just investigating the conspiracy of the Alliance of Glory. Before receiving the news from Fiona, he was investigating the situation of the royal family of the Gloria Empire.
During the entire process of the gradual decline of the four major families, the imperial royal family had little presence, and even had little response to the subsequent cake-division process.
Anvis had been puzzled about this for a long time. Now that he had enough strength, he directly used his own attainments in prophecy magic to sneak into the various secret places of the royal family, investigated carefully, and then discovered the real reason.
The truth is simple. The royal family is actually in a similar state of desperation because Gloria III in this world is also missing.
But unlike the other world line when Anvis came, this disappearance was concealed by several of the strongest royal guardians and kept secret. Every day, the emperor's substitute still went to court to participate in regular meetings and cooperate with the nobles in handling various affairs.
In both world lines, Gloria III is missing.
If you compare the two, you will find that although his interference in another world line has changed the future direction to a certain extent, some special events still follow the original trajectory due to various coincidences, as if it is the inertia of fate.
Yanele still became a saint, and Gloria III is still missing.
It seems that the world has changed dramatically, but the stars in the night sky remain the same.
Anvis was very interested in what was hidden behind this.
Moreover, apart from these strange coincidences, according to this inference, some things seem to have not yet had time to break out.
Avis did not forget that in his original world line, the former Speaker of the Federation, who had established the "Door in the Pupil", had made a big move and tried to sacrifice the people of the Federation and summon the Lord of Dreams, Maelim, to come and break through the Zenith Wall.
With the Lord of Dreams being expelled and the Speaker being sealed as the former Speaker, the new Speaker of the Federal Parliament had no time to mourn his predecessor and immediately caused another big incident.
So far in this world line, the former Speaker of the Federal Parliament is doing a good job, and the new Speaker of the Federal Parliament is still one of the members of parliament.
This situation used to be due to the secret suppression by the Stargazer, but now with the addition of a ninth-level prophet like him and the Stargazer restraining each other in the web of fate, the operating space behind the scenes has become much larger.
In fact, after news of his relationship with the Hualuotianxia Guild spread, more than one secretive guy had come with secret letters with the Door in the Pupil and the logo of a federal senator, hoping to meet with him privately to discuss jointly dealing with the threat of the Stargazers.
In this world line, Avis's position did not conflict with theirs for the time being, but after some consideration, he finally did not respond to the invitation from the Federation.
The Stargazers had a very low priority in targeting him. After he truly broke through to the ninth level, the Stargazers actually no longer had the core motivation to continue targeting him. This was a critical information gap.
As a ninth-rank prophet who is highly compatible with the web of fate, the stargazer knows the coming dark doomsday better than anyone else. This feeling is like an ordinary person on the beach, watching a tsunami as big as a mountain rolling over in the distance.
At this moment, the stargazer would just save himself at all costs instead of wasting a lot of time looking for him to settle the score.
However, getting involved with the Door in the Eye and the Federal Parliament at this time would cause trouble for Stargazers and might directly touch their red lines.
Those terrifying dark beings that are infinitely close to gods are a sword of Damocles hanging over their heads. Avis will not interfere with the Stargazers on this matter. On the contrary, he wants to see how the world resists.
After all, even if he returned to his original world line, the threat of those dark entities would still exist.
Avis was not even sure if he would attract their attention when he returned to his original world. (End of this chapter)
