After denouncing the Blood Moon Group, Ash and Igula continued to organize the intelligence from last night.
In fact, there is nothing much to say. After the Silver Feather Storm blew up, Igula and Harvey were swept away by the storm. Although they had the Colorless Dream Secret Poison, they did not have the Golden Fish Secret Poison and the Colorful Tail Secret Poison, which meant that it was impossible for them to use up their silver magic power and gold magic power.
But this is not a bad thing, because after the storm stops, they have more magic power to condense the sanctuary, unlike Ash who seems to have kidney failure just from holding up the sanctuary.
They had originally thought about joining the competition on the top of the mountain, but when they saw the legendary swordsman's miracle of crystal sword light, they knew they could not meet the minimum threshold of this qualifying competition. Later, they saw Ash's heart sword circling near the mountains, so they retreated decisively.
"Although we cannot rule out the possibility that the magic power bestowed upon them by the demons was swordsmanship, it is more likely that there really was another legendary swordsman besides them at the time." Ash analyzed, "After all, according to the analysis of Heath's notes, excluding the fallen Lord Senluo, there should be five forces participating in the angel hunt."
"The 'thieves' from Blood Moon, Gospel, Abyss, Paradise, and the 'guards' from Stars to escort the ceremony. Among them, the thieves must have demons. The thieves without demons simply cannot participate in this competition. As for whether the guards have demons, I don't know."
Igula said: "Regardless of whether Ye Jian really likes Harvey, from Harvey's description, Ye Jian is not childish at all, and every move is very mature. And the Yin Zhi I met, although she looks like a silly high school girl, has a self-confidence and calmness from the bottom of her heart, which is not something ordinary people can have."
"Amilo and Tiramisu, both legendary magicians regard themselves as subjects of the devil. At least I feel that Amilo completely obeys Yin Zhi's orders. If the devil is just an ordinary person, I don't think the legendary magician would be so obedient."
Rose interrupted, "Could it be that the legendary magician's family was kidnapped? Or was they caught?"
"Although I like Miss Rose's idea very much," Igula replied, "Legendary magicians are just passing through this world and don't have this kind of weakness."
Ash groaned, "The intelligence is still insufficient. We can only be sure that the demons are not just tools of the magicians. On their side, the demons are truly the masters of the magicians."
Igula stared at Ash: "Then Fili..."
"She's just an ordinary person." Ash said affirmatively: "Perhaps there is something like the 'Soul Reaping Ritual' here. Those legendary magicians merged the souls of other demigods into demons. This can explain why they respect demons."
"Since the gods are so concerned about the angel hunting, it is reasonable for them to send their demigod subordinates to supervise the battle."
"There are probably many demons in the Kingdom of Stars, but only the demons recognized by the legendary magician through a special ceremony are the spokespersons of the gods of all parties."
Igula agreed with Ash's guess and proposed another possibility: "Could those demons be the Lord God himself?"
Ash was silent for a moment, then asked, "Omniscient Weaver is the shining beautiful girl you saw, and Blood Moon Extreme is a black-haired little boy who likes Harvey?"
Igula thought about it seriously, waved his hand and said: "So this is how you feel when you are stupid... Forget my stupid words just now."
Honestly speaking, whether the demon contained the soul of a demigod or a god, it made no difference to them - they were all beings that they could only look up to.
From the beginning, this angel hunting was not a game they could participate in. Just like the Six Kingdoms Grand Seal in the Time Continent and the Dreamland in the Distant Space, the gods were fighting recklessly for every inch of land and every resource in the virtual world, and magicians like them could only take a detour.
If someone told them that the gods used the corpses of magicians to fatten up their people in the Sea of Knowledge, they would not be surprised.
Although the process of this angel hunting was extremely dangerous, it was also quite stimulating for Ash and Igula.
This was perhaps the closest they had ever been to the Lord God. Everyone they met carried the Lord God's will. Even Ash Hiss was an undercover sent by the Four Pillars Gods, lurking among the stars for three years.
They are not even chess pieces, but they cannot suppress their yearning for the chess player behind the scenes. They know that it is not a power they can covet, but they cannot suppress their greed.
Creatures like magicians are like moths destined to burn up in the flames.
When the magicians were immersed in their yearning for supreme power, Rose applied hand cream to herself, then grabbed Ash's hand and rubbed it, asking, "Do you smell the stench of a rotting corpse?"
Ash: "From the basement, those bodies were ordered by Harvey from you. Have you forgotten?"
"I didn't forget, I just didn't know he would preserve it." Rose said, "I thought he was going to eat it, or at least use preservatives to treat it."
Iguerra: "Seriously, he would preserve the skin with preservatives, but he wouldn't do the internal organs."
Rose: “Why?”
"Because decay is also the core aesthetic of death," Ash explained. "If he wasn't doing this to take care of our senses, he wouldn't even bother to preserve his skin. Every cycle of life has its own beauty, infants, childhood, youth, middle age, old age... Death is the same, heat preservation, hypothermia, corpse spots, decay, maggots, bones, each cycle is gradually unveiling the mystery of death."
"Yes, that's right." Igula nodded, "So it's normal to have bad smells when living with him. I'm used to eating jelly with bad smells."
Rose: “I see.”
After a moment of silence, Ash looked at Igula: "Are we broken too?"
The trickster said nothing, but just gave a sad look in return.
"I understand that your role-playing game is very large-scale," Rose said, "but I cannot accept such a strong stench where I live."
Igula was a little surprised: "I thought you didn't care about anything."
"I don't mind Ash's request, and even if it's Ash, I won't accept some excessive requests." Rose said seriously: "Of course, I don't want to ruin your game. I will buy the villa next door in Ash's name and let Mr. Harvey move in. I don't mind how smelly or dirty he makes it."
Ash and Igula's hearts beat fast after hearing this.
They couldn't even recall what life was like before Harvey. Ash was the worst off. He only lived a clean and comfortable life in Broken Lake Prison. From then on, he was surrounded by the stench of corpses. And Igula, a fraudster with mysophobia, was tortured to the point of breaking his nose. It can be seen how destructive Harvey is in this small group.
If Harvey could be driven out, he wouldn't have to live in the same room with corpses, nor would he have to see the "ghoul feast" of cockroaches, insects, ants and spiders eating each other in the living room in the middle of the night, and he wouldn't have to listen to Harvey's little-known facts about corpses while eating!
Damn, this guy should have been chased away long ago. Why did they have to wait for Rose to remind them before they reacted?
"good!"
Ash made a prompt decision: "Wait until Xavi comes back, Igula, you tell me!"
"Why me... Never mind." Iguala said, "Anyone can step on Xavi anyway, so what if I step on him? Let me tell you!"
At this moment, someone opened the door and came in: "I'm back."
It was the evil Archibald Harvey!
Seeing the necromancer coming back with a lot of bags, Igula coughed and said, "Xavi, we have something to tell you."
"No problem, let me put the things away first." Harvey said, "I passed by the supermarket when I went to buy surgical equipment, and bought a lot of jelly and red wine, both of which you like, Igulla."
Igula turned to look at Ash, who stroked his neck with his hand and made a gesture with his mouth: "Step on him to death."
At this time, Harvey placed a large bag next to the basement door, and Igulla asked, "What is that?"
"Air freshener." Harvey knocked on the basement door. "I thought such a long corridor would be able to block the smell, but it didn't work. So I bought a lot of air fresheners. It should be fine now. It's rare to live in such a nice place, so I should pay attention to hygiene."
Igula turned his head to look at Ash again. Ash chopped his neck with a knife and mouthed "Don't be soft-hearted, crush this bug to death!"
"Okay, what's up?" Harvey asked, sitting in the soft chair opposite Igulla.
Igula considered his tone and said, "It's like this, we plan to buy the villa next door as well..."
"Is it the big bath in the villa next door?" The black curly-haired man pondered, "I know you, Igula, don't want to bathe in the same bath as us, but there's no need to buy an extra villa, right? And I got a lot of inspiration from Tiramisu's resentment spell. I'll work in the basement from now on and won't use the bath in the villa, so you can rest assured."
The necromancer sighed softly, "I was of almost no help in this angel hunt. If I hadn't met Tiramisu and Ye Jian, I would have died in there... But unlike people like me who are going to die, your lives are more valuable, and there are people waiting for you outside."
"When it's time to die, die. When it's not time to die, do your best to live." Harvey looked at the two of them. "Besides, I really don't want to die like this. I want to witness the rest of your life."
"Even if it's just for you, I must quickly master the last type of undead soldier, the Blood Moon Corpse King."
The fraudster's mouth twitched, as if there were a lot of words stuck in his throat.
He suddenly pulled Ash over to him and said, "Actually, Ash has something to say to you."
Ash looked helpless. He looked around and suddenly saw the black box at Harvey's feet. He asked, "What is that?"
"I just made a 'Ghoul Feast'." Harvey patted the black box and said, "I'm going to create a lot of families next, so I have to prepare dinner for them."
Ash finally found an excuse: "You're using cockroaches and ants to make a zombie feast at home again? Harvey, if you keep doing this——"
"No, I did it in the sewer." Harvey looked at Rose. "Before, Rose mentioned that there was an orphanage in Jia Shi, so I went to the sewer there to set up the spell. This time I went out and collected it, so that there would be no snakes, insects, rats or ants in the neighborhood nearby."
He shrugged, "After all, we Blood Moon people are essentially orphans."
Ash opened his mouth, but no words came out.
He pulled Rose directly in front of him: "Actually, Rose has something to tell you."
Rose looked at Ash and Igula, then at the bewildered Harvey. Her face, which seemed to be always calm, finally showed a ripple. She said helplessly, "We have ordered another batch of corpses for you."
"Really? That's great!" Harvey was as happy as a child: "I've never been so rich in my life!"
Oh shit, this necromancer is annoying thirty-one days of every month, why is he so likable today?
Ash scratched his head and said, "Let's talk about last night's angel hunt. Harvey, do you have anything to add?"
Harvey glanced at the whiteboard and shook his head, "No more, unless you want to learn the grudge technique that Tiramisu taught me."
"That is to say, apart from Harvey, we gained nothing from this carnival." Igulla said in a low voice.
"Not necessarily..." Ash did not comment.
boom!
The door of the villa was kicked open heavily. They turned around and saw a flame-haired girl in a maid outfit striding into the villa.
"You finally came back, Vichy." Ash said calmly, "I thought you would disappear."
He frowned slightly: "Didn't I tell you that I don't like you to have red hair?"
"Of course I will come back, my dear master." Vichy said in high spirits, "If I don't come back, how can I bring rewards to the master?"
She walked to Harvey and kicked him, signaling the necromancer to move aside, then sat on the soft chair and looked at Ash unscrupulously.
Ash narrowed his eyes: "What reward?"
"The reward is..." Vichy took off her boots, put her feet on the coffee table, pushed her black stockings down her thighs, revealing her smooth and tender feet. "Master, you can choose to lick my feet now, so that I may go easy on you in the future."
Ash was so angry that he laughed: "Could it be that the spoils you snatched from the angel hunt allowed you to break free from the ruby chains?"
"No," Vichy smiled, "but it's almost there."
"Because what I got is the key to the highest level - the Seventh Void Wing!"
