"That's not the case. We have sufficient manpower this time. But Kelly, you'd better not go. I'm with White Eagle and a friend. It's hard to protect you in case something happens." Tari said with a frown. .
"Don't worry, I can protect myself. Don't forget when you gave me the black jade plate." Garen winked at him.
"I guess you won't give up, that's up to you. This time we're going to go down to that place and take a closer look, right! Look at this." Tari took out an old yellow paper from his pocket and handed it to Garen.
Garen took it and unfolded it.
A colored oil painting was drawn on the paper.
A man ran forward on a wide gray plain.
His back is facing the viewing surface of the oil painting. He has no head, and a flock of black birds are flying out of the broken neck.
"There's more on the back." Tali Quicksilver reminded.
Garen turned around. There is also a picture on the paper.
A rough man's big hand stretched out from the ground, and there was a bloody hole in the palm, and a figure in black robe stood inside the hole.
There is another line of text below, but it's a pity that Garen can't understand it at all.
"The line below is a very ancient common language, Ai Quinta. It means: to give the world the beauty of the soul." The expression in the tower was slightly heavy, "I checked some personal information a little bit. You have to do Be mentally prepared."
Garen nodded silently. He had a hunch that the matter of Silver Shade Castle might not be an ordinary trouble.
Tally took a sip of his coffee.
"I found this piece of paper from the place we went down yesterday. I immediately went back when I got this piece of paper. Because I recognized the origin of this line of writing at a glance." He paused. "The Aquinta language is said to have been spoken by one of the most mysterious of peoples."
"Mysterious?" Garen narrowed his eyes.
"They have always been hidden in the back of the world. Their power is mysterious and weird. In legends, they often appear between devils and bloody monsters. No one sees the real existence among them. They are called: warlocks .”
"Warlock." Garen heard this term for the first time.
Grace on the side let out a low cry.
"Could it be a powerful human being who learned magic in myths and legends?"
"That's right." Tari Mercury nodded with a heavy expression, "It is said that warlocks are powerful humans who learn spells from devils and fear. The spells they learn are called magic because they learn from devils. In myths and legends , They will even mate with monsters and give birth to family descendants with terrifying bloodlines. They master the devil's spells. Among ordinary humans, some of them are nobles, some are businessmen, some are scholars, and some are travelers. Of course."
"These are just legends and myths," he concluded. "It's just that there are not a few humans who worship warlocks, especially in ancient times. I suspect that the entrance is probably the product of this group of people."
Garen was still stunned, but only after hearing the final explanation did he realize that these were just legends. He recalled the memories of Xia Jialong. "In the myths and legends, I have vaguely heard the legends about warlocks, but those are just false stories, right? Even if humans who worship them can make something?"
"Rituals, blood sacrifices, making flutes from corpses' leg bones, these are all possible. Anyway, it may be something like a cult."
"Then I'll have to take a closer look." Garen licked his lips, "After all, those warlock magics don't really exist, right? Most of them are just things made by people."
Terry Quicksilver nodded. "I have encountered similar cases before, and it was also about ancient cults. Just like what you said, these things are indeed made by people. There is nothing mysterious about them. They are just too cruel and bloody. It's just that the Golden Ring has come together, This time the danger is much greater. You must know that there are always a lot of leftover devices such as cult rituals, and selling them as antiques is also a considerable fortune."
"So when shall we go there now?"
"We'll go there together when Bai Ying and his friends come over. This time, a group of police forces have been mobilized, so there shouldn't be too much danger." Tali Shuiyin raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "It's six forty." Around, they should be here by 10 o'clock."
"Then we'll just wait here?" Garen asked suspiciously.
"Wouldn't it be nice to have a good rest?" Tali Shuiyin smiled, "Don't be nervous." He stood up and patted Garen on the shoulder, "We have to wait for our ancient mechanism experts to arrive before we can safely explore that cave. Before that, just get along with you and the pretty secretary and relax."
Garen smiled helplessly, and watched Tali Shuiyin get up and walk outside. He leaned back on the back of the chair, and his head suddenly hit a soft, warm and firm mass.
Grace behind her blushed, she didn't dodge, she just let her chest touch the back of Garen's head.
"Now I am your spokesperson in the eyes of the company. It is an important link between you and the company. If you want, I will not refuse." She whispered.
"I don't like coercion." Garen smiled and stood up, "We'll be going to Silver Shade Castle in a while, that place is very dangerous, so be careful. I may not be able to protect you."
"Don't worry, I'm fully prepared this time. The company sent someone to protect the two of us. Speaking of which, I'm still in your favor."
Grace smiled and clapped her hands lightly.
"Cynthia, are you still coming out?"
From the bushes outside the open-air restaurant, a beautiful girl with a strong figure slowly walked out. The girl was like a cute and innocent girl next door. She was wearing a low-cut tight dress. The whole body of black fabric was in stark contrast to her white and delicate skin. Her lips are pink, her skin is like a rosy jelly, and the brown hair in the shawl is slightly curly.
Garen was also slightly stunned by this girl.
"Cynthia? Are you eighteen years old?" He asked in amazement, while looking around at other places in the small restaurant. Fortunately, because it was too early, he was the only table left in the restaurant. The fat boss was also dozing off at the cash register in the room.
The girl's slender, round, fair-skinned legs were extremely eye-catching, and she was wearing black boots, which almost covered her entire calf.
"The company sent me here to protect the two of you, and there is also a special team in charge of general security. Don't worry, Mr. Kelly, I am nineteen years old this year."
This girl named Cynthia always had a faint smile, she looked pure and sunny, her dark brown eyes were slightly curved like a cat's pupils. Makes you feel like you're smiling all the time. Plus slender and round legs, and a straight buttocks.
The girl walked to Gallon's seat and stood still.
"Master Kelly, I was specially selected by the headquarters to be your bodyguard, and I am capable of any task you entrust to me. I can do what Sister Grace can do, and I can do what she can't do. ~~"
At the end of her final note, she puffed up her plump breasts slightly, and raised her eyes at Grace.
Grace's face turned cold. It was immediately clear that this was the company's move to send someone over to take her place in Garen's heart. Obviously, this was the result of her and Garen's failure to reach a closer relationship. Cynthia is the person sent by the company to replace her. This young and beautiful team leader is stronger than herself in skills and looks better than herself. What's more, Cynthia is a special tool specially trained to win over high-ranking people.
"Do you think there can only be a close relationship between men and women?" She said coldly.
"But only that kind of relationship is the closest?" Cynthia looked innocent and cute, and there was a delicate taste when she put her fingers around her mouth. "I can do anything for my lord? No matter what my lord wants to do to me." She supported the back of the chair and gently walked towards Garonko.
Garen smiled wryly and stood up.
"Okay, stop making trouble, I understand the sincerity of the Manleyton Company. But now is not the time to talk about this, Cynthia, right, how many people did you bring?"
When it came to business, Cynthia immediately stood still and suppressed the smile on her face. "All six people, including me and seven people. They have already been scattered around to take charge of warning patrols. Don't worry, we are elite bodyguards who have received training from Weissman's three-pointed cone company, and we can definitely guarantee your personal safety. In addition , after this incident, Lord Adrian hopes to meet with you."
"Adrien?" Gallon remembered the name. He also knew from Grace that Adrian was the real controller of the Manleyton Company during the time spent together. The beautiful girl Cynthia was sent to be his personal bodyguard, obviously with the idea of climbing into the Baiyun Martial Arts Hall. The most important thing is that there was a conflict between the Manleyton Company and the family power of the third brother Garcia, which is another antique company in Huaishan City. Manleytown has been suppressed and at a disadvantage. Perhaps this meeting is to let him mediate the conflict with the family of the third senior brother, hoping to escape.
"Is it about the third senior brother?" Gallon didn't know if the third senior brother would give him face, "But don't expect too much, this kind of matter is not necessarily up to the third senior brother alone."
"Naturally." Cynthia nodded, but a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes. She originally thought that the sixteen-year-old Garen was just an ordinary high school student who had only reached the sky because of his aptitude.
I didn't expect that the feeling of meeting was completely different from what I imagined. This Garen's speech and behavior were completely different from that of an ordinary high school student, and it was almost the same as a real thirty-year-old adult. Completely unaffected by her physical allure.
Garen nodded in satisfaction.
He understands that everything he is now is based on the identity of the Baiyun Martial Arts School, whether it is Grace or Cynthia, they only respect him so much because of his status as a closed disciple. Rather than his own strength. However, he didn't pay much attention to these external forces at first, and he who possesses talents and abilities can completely embark on the road of continuously strengthening himself.
