Chapter 316 It turns out to be here
Rocky rudely drove away the confused little priest who was accompanying the bed, and then sat alone on the bed gritting his teeth.
This damn hand and eye... No, damn Uru!
It would be fine if he suddenly stopped playing cards this time, but he didn't even bring him along for the transaction, and openly looked down on his things, not even asking what his information card was. This is too fucking much!
What do you think I am?! A worn out old asshole?! Everyone else has something but not me?!
In an instant, the bad memories from the past came flooding back, making Rocky's teeth ache even more.
Putting aside the emotional dissatisfaction, what Rocky couldn't accept was the fact that he got nothing in this transaction. Because it was like tacitly excluding him from the hunt for the "tongue", and this was the point.
Rocky got out of bed, walked to the door and looked into the distance, but because of the thick fog, he couldn't see anything clearly.
Yes, they are still in the small village in the no-man's land, waiting for the notification from the contract land. On the other side of the village are those weird and mysterious Eternal Nightmare believers.
Rocky began to think.
If he remembered correctly, their current location was only half a day's distance from the black market's headquarters, Wuming Town, and it was unknown when the meeting place of the contract land would be determined. In other words, from a time point of view, he could lead the team to Wuming Town, find and kill the "tongue", and then return.
But this causes two problems. First, he is not sure that he can kill "Tongue". After all, Fig, the Devourer, has also been defeated. Although it is still uncertain whether he was defeated by "Tongue", the risk is there. Rocky does not think that he is stronger with corpse parts than Fig, the Devourer.
The second question was how could he lead the team there openly. You have to know that this was in the territory of the Contracted Land, and there were six church delegations around. Even if he could really kill the "tongue", how could he recover the three body parts under the eyes of these churches?
He even didn't know how to explain to his subordinates. You know, this delegation was sent to him by His Majesty Rango. It was somewhat unnecessary for Rocky to use this delegation to snatch body parts for himself.
So Rocky was very conflicted.
On the one hand, he is very likely the person closest to the "tongue" besides Ulu. As long as he stretches out his hand, he will have the chance to get three body parts, but the risks involved are unpredictable, especially when he relies on himself alone.
On the other hand, even if he had figured out that he should be loyal to Rhine and report everything that happened to Rango, it was a little late now.
After all, he had lost the rules twice in Taoyuan Township. What did that guy Uru do with his rules? Was Fig killed because of this? There was no way to think about such things in detail.
At least Rocky didn't think that Rango would let him go as if nothing had happened.
Should I pretend I don't know and just be an outsider and watch these guys fight?
Rocky was both unwilling and worried.
What if this group of guys' death fight finally gave birth to a Gu King? He couldn't imagine the scene where, at the next Taoyuan Township corpse friends' meeting, he would open his eyes and see a phantom with eight body parts, smiling and saying to him, "The next one is you."
The fight for body parts will never stop.
If Rocky doesn't fight, someone will naturally come to fight him.
Thinking of this, Rocky's eyes narrowed little by little, and his chaotic thoughts gradually became clear.
Yes, if you think about it carefully, he has no choice now, unless he cuts off his thumb and hands it over to Rango in order to seek asylum, and becomes a complete outsider.
But will he really choose this?
Rocky looked down at the thumb of his right hand.
He inherited this thumb from the previous archbishop. No one except himself knew how much pain and salt he had suffered during this period. So Rocky was absolutely unwilling to give up this finger.
In that case...
Rocky knew what to do.
He immediately returned to his house and put on his bishop's robe, a symbol of power.
Instead of hesitating, it is better to act immediately. Even if he does not join the battle first, he must keep watching, lest he miss the opportunity because he is not around, so Rocky decided to move his team to the vicinity of Nameless Town now.
As for how to explain to the Land of Contract...what is there to explain? The Land of Contract is not Rhine's superior. He just needs to say that he is too bored here and wants to go to Nameless Town to find the little boy. The Land of Contract will definitely not be able to say anything. After all, Rhine has always had this image to the outside world, and it is easy to cover up.
Damn, I'm so smart!
Rocky couldn't help but admire himself in his heart.
But just as he walked out of the door, he saw the knight commander under his command walking towards him hurriedly.
"My Lord Bishop," the Knight Commander whispered, "Fenris of the Church of Eternal Nightmare is here to see you."
"Fenris?" Loki frowned subconsciously and looked up at the still dark sky. "Why would he come to see me in the middle of the night?"
Before the Knight Commander could reply, Fenris's sleepy voice came from behind him.
"Believe me, Bishop Rocky, we who pursue dreams value the night more than you do. If it weren't for a special situation, we wouldn't want to come and disturb you at this time."
Loki turned his head and looked at Fenris, who was floating in the dust and mist like a ghost.
This made Rocky feel uneasy: "Then tell me, what's the matter."
“We need your help.”
"Need my help?"
"Yes, remember the forbidden scholar I mentioned to you earlier?"
"The one called Edwin?" Rocky still remembered the name. "What happened to him?"
"We captured the Lord's message in his dream," Fenris said. "We have reason to believe that he is trying to bring that forbidden knowledge into reality."
"when?"
"Twenty minutes ago."
Rocky's eyes widened instantly: "Twenty minutes ago?!"
"Yes." Fenris said softly, "So we can't wait for the arbitration of the Contract Land any longer. We must kill him now."
Just at this time!
Rocky gritted his teeth and said, "What will happen if he brings it out?"
"have no idea."
"have no idea?!"
"Yes, because no one knows what that knowledge is." Fenris said, "And there is also the mark of divine commandments. Theoretically, he will die the moment he brings that knowledge into reality. This is also the best outcome."
"What's the worst?"
"He bypassed the mark of divine commandment." Fenris said softly, "and became the next Visas."
…
Isaiah stood by the window, looking at the nameless town under the night sky, and the thick fog in the distance that seemed to cover the sky - the no-man's land.
Then there was a knock on the door of the room and his student Mina pushed the door open.
"Teacher, are you looking for me?"
Isaiah said, "Hmm," and said, "I just went to Taoyuan Township again."
Mina's expression froze for a moment, then she quickened her pace and came to Isaiah's side.
"What happened again?" Mina asked nervously.
“A lot of interesting things happened.”
Isaiah chuckled and slowly recounted his trip to Utopia, but Mina couldn't be as relaxed as him and her expression was extremely solemn.
"You mean, there is a person with three body parts in this nameless town right now?" Mina asked in a low voice, "Is he coming for us?"
"I don't know." Isaiah said with a smile, "Although theoretically, no one outside of the Star Relics would know that I have this eye. But it's not surprising that someone with so many corpses could have some unknown information."
Mina became even more nervous: "Then should we report to the Contract Land? He is the purpose of this Contract Land, right?"
"No, the target of the Land of Contract and Rhine is Uru." Isaiah said, "That is the 'Hands and Eyes' in Taoyuan Township."
Mina understood what the teacher meant: "You still want that eye."
"Of course," Isaiah said. "I said I'd give it everything."
"I don't quite understand." Mina said, "You value that eye so much, why don't you exchange the rules of the eye with Uru, but exchange a piece of information? What kind of information can compare to that eye?"
Isaiah smiled at Mina and said, "You really can't think of it?"
Mina was silent for a while before she said softly, "Could it be his position?"
"Yes, his location." Isaiah looked into the distance, "And he also promised that he would not change his location for at least a month. I can find him anytime I want."
Mina opened her mouth and said after a while: "It's almost like saying... He is waiting for you too."
“Yes.” Isaiah said with a smile, “He and I both know what each other wants most, so we can be said to be natural opponents.”
"But is his promise really reliable?"
"Under the witness of Taoyuan Township, we all need to abide by the rules." Isaiah turned to look at Mina and said with a smile, "If you have been there, you will understand that Taoyuan Township is supreme. It is like Visas himself, forcing everyone to abide by its rules."
"I really can't imagine it." Mina said softly, "Then what about the 'tongue'? Are you going to go directly to the hand and eye by bypassing it?"
"Of course not." Isaiah said leisurely, "I have a month to deal with other things, including the tongue."
"Do you think he'll come to you?"
"Even if he doesn't come to find me, someone will come to find him, and they will be more anxious than me." Isaiah once again cast his gaze towards the Nameless Town in the night, "And before that, I will keep watching with this eye. Of course, if there is really a chance..."
He paused, then said with a smile.
"I wouldn't mind taking all of it either."
…
Diana opened her eyes.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that her vision was clearer than ever before.
No, it's not an illusion.
Diana gently stroked her left eye, and she could feel an unprecedented power surging in this eye. Although she had not yet activated the power, the ripples splashed by the surging power already made her feel indescribable joy, as if the whole world was in her eyes.
This is... [Gaze].
It was indeed a fascinating power that made people want to indulge in it uncontrollably, and made Diana involuntarily recall the throbbing feeling when she obtained the [Contract] more than ten years ago.
Diana took two deep breaths and gradually concealed the throbbing.
Diana was satisfied enough to get [attention] without paying a [contract], even if it was only for one month.
She was like a child who got a new toy and couldn't wait to play with it. She didn't want to continue sleeping and immediately got out of bed and left the room.
The servant waiting outside the door bowed his head and said in fear and trepidation, "Master, did I disturb your rest?"
It was indeed a bit noisy outside because the guardians of the Contract Land were transporting one loaded carriage after another outside.
Diana naturally knew that this was a "prop" being transported to the rally location.
The reason why the Land of Contract has not held a gathering yet is because of these things.
Diana ignored the servants at her feet and looked at the closed carriages.
Under the gaze of her left eye, the sealed carriages began to gradually "melt", allowing her to see directly through them and see the twisting tentacles inside the carriages.
As expected, I can see through it.
Diana became more satisfied with this eye, and then an irresistible idea emerged in her mind.
So she turned and left, and soon arrived at the core area of the contract land.
That is the prison that goes straight into the ground like an abyss.
Diana stood on the cell, her left eye tightly closed, looking a little hesitant.
But after taking a deep breath, she still couldn't suppress this crazy idea and slowly opened her left eye.
At this moment, her eyes pierced into the abyss.
Countless blockades and endless darkness were like a bottomless whirlpool, with bloody winds constantly pouring out of it.
An indescribable feeling of panic surged into Diana's heart. She had been here for thirty years and had never felt this way before.
But she did not choose to close her eyes, so her vision continued to deepen, as if to dispel all the fog.
Finally, at the end of the extreme darkness, she saw a door with snake patterns painted on it.
Just as she was about to take a closer look, Snake Pattern "opened" his eyes.
At that moment, an indescribable sense of crisis suddenly surged into my heart.
Diana closed her eyes immediately, but it was too late. Blood kept flowing out of her left eye, accompanied by excruciating pain.
But the pain didn't last long.
With a "plop" sound.
The servant who was chasing him fell to the ground, his eyes full of blood, but he couldn't even utter a cry for help. After struggling twice, he died.
But Diana didn't even look at the servant, she just stroked her left eye and said softly: "So that's how it is."
Then she felt her left eye twitch, as if responding to her words.
…
On the other side, Bai Wei also opened his eyes. He chuckled as he recalled the images transmitted back from his left eye.
“So it’s here.”
