late at night.
The bright moonlight is faintly rippling with a purple halo, covering the earth with a layer of strange colors.
The moon in this world is obviously different from Wu Ming's previous life, or even any world he has traveled through.
And in many degenerate religions and evil sacrifices, the strange purple moon is also an indispensable part of the ceremony.
Only under the purple moonlight can demons and evil gods feel the fullest joy, and the mourning of the living sacrifices is enough to make them bestow high-level favors.
In the Western Continent, studying how to offer sacrifices under the purple moon has always been an important subject, and of course it is a very high-end research. It is even more taboo for beginners, because if they are not careful, they will be tempted by evil gods.
It's just that, if this kind of statement is heard by the Orientals, they will definitely sneer.
Because among their eight supreme gods, the Moon Lord God is impressively listed!
Even though in the western world, there are several goddesses whose priesthood is related to the moon, they don't obviously lean towards the evil camp.
But in any case, under the light of the full moon, various sacrifices and summoning circles are easier to succeed, but it is also the law of the entire world.
At this time, it was in the port of Evans, in a huge noble house.
In the study room, bright magic flames shone through, causing the shadows of the bookcases and decorations to reflect on the wall, showing many strange shapes.
"Sir, here is our income account for this month!"
The old housekeeper held many account books and put them on the table respectfully: "There are also recent events in the port. According to your request, everything that is interesting or involves more than 500 gold shields is here..."
"Um!"
The nobleman who belonged to this house was a baron, and his land was sealed in Golden Oak Collar, so it was called the Baron of Golden Oak Collar.
As a minor noble, the local income cannot meet a decent life, so it has become a very normal phenomenon to come out to serve the big noble.
The same is true for the Baron of the Golden Oak Collar. He is now serving the owner of the entire port—Earl Evans, and because he is also a nobleman, he has obtained the post of Deputy Chief of the Guard, which is very lucrative.
It's just that the old housekeeper didn't know that the baron's fortune was not only due to the benefits brought by the vice-captain.
The Baron of the Golden Oak Collar is less than fifty years old. Westerners in this world, especially nobles, look older if they don't wear makeup.
At this time, he was flipping through the account book with a blank face, and the entire study was extremely quiet, except for the occasional rustling sound.
The housekeeper listened, but his heart was secretly nervous.
I don't know why, but as an old butler who has followed the Golden Oak collar family for several generations and has been serving the previous baron since birth, I always feel that my lord has changed after he came to Port Evans.
Not only has his temper become very moody, but he is also somewhat mysterious.
If it weren't for him, an old man who had followed the baron for a long time, knowing that several hidden features of the other party hadn't changed, he would have almost thought the baron was a fake.
Even so, the baron, who became more mean and irritable, was quite difficult to serve.
"Well... except for the sea fish account that was a little expensive three days ago, everything else is fine..."
After a long time, the Baron finally stopped looking through the account books.
The old housekeeper heaved a sigh of relief, but then mourned for the person in charge of buying sea fish.
"Huh?"
After reading the accounts, the baron picked up the information book again. The first page contained changes in the mercenary guild and the thieves guild, as well as news from several churches.
I don't know which one he saw, his complexion suddenly changed. At this moment, the old butler clearly saw the baron's lips pursed, and then his face drooped, showing even more emotion and anger.
The old butler, who was familiar with the baron's temper, knew that this was only when the baron's mood fluctuated extremely, so he didn't dare to breathe for fear of hurting Chi Yu.
"Very good, you go out!"
The expected storm did not come, the butler hurriedly withdrew immediately and closed the door behind him.
"He didn't even deal with the person who bought the sea fish. What kind of news did he get to make the master like this..."
The old butler walked into the garden with his hands behind his back worriedly, frowning deeply.
It seems to be his illusion, the purple moon hanging in the sky at this time seems to have become more mysterious and coquettish.
…
"The mercenary guild has offered a reward. The employer needs information about a strangely shaped Ouroboros ring!"
If the old butler was still in the study, he could see the baron with the golden oak collar sinking into water, scratching a piece of news with heavy nails.
"Ouroboros Ring?!"
The Baron of the Golden Oak Collar murmured the name, with a hint of mystery on his face: "It seems that the members who went to the east were exposed... and were even traced all the way here by the other party. What a damn guy, a group of pigs and beasts, not only delayed the organization plan, and also provoked people to come to me..."
He picked up the information, came to the side of the study, next to a rosewood bookcase, and pressed a button.
Accompanied by a dull sound, the bookcase that seemed to be together with the wall moved away, revealing a downward passage.
Inside the wall, there is even a magic circle emitting light, with the effect of concealment and isolation.
The Baron of the Golden Oak Collar held the magic lamp and stepped directly into the darkness.
The channel went all the way down, it wasn't very long, and it didn't take long to reach the bottom.
This is a small basement, the magic lamp is shining brightly, clearly reflecting the relief of a black snake holding its own tail on the wall in the middle!
"Praise be to you, Endless Ouroboros!"
The Baron of the Golden Oak Collar saw the relief, but knelt down piously, and prayed like a cultist: "You are the beginning of everything and the end of everything, reincarnation..."
Accompanied by the sound of chants resembling heretics, the eyes of the Ouroboros relief on the wall suddenly lit up, emitting a blood-red light!
Obviously, this is not only a congratulatory speech, but also has the function of a mantra.
And the Ouroboros relief on the wall is not as simple as a simple symbol.
hiss...
In the scarlet light, a light curtain suddenly emerged, it was a dark swamp, one of the men in black looked up, and under the endless darkness, only a pair of vertical pupils looked very dazzling.
"What's going on? Didn't I tell you that there is no emergency and you can't use this to contact me?"
The black-robed man said hoarsely: "In Port Evans, there is a special mage tower to monitor. Although this communication channel has been encrypted by our lord, there is no danger of loss, but if you leak the source yourself, there is no way. Let me remind you, you also know how difficult those mages are, right?"
"Of course I know this, Your Excellency the Black Snake!"
The Baron of the Golden Oak collar saluted respectfully, with an extremely pious attitude: "Although we have just contacted, there is a new situation in the Evans port... In the mercenary guild, a reward appeared blatantly, asking for a reward related to Ouroboros. Information about the ring!"
"Damn it!"
Baron Golden Oak Collar clearly saw that His Excellency Black Snake also lost his composure for a moment.
"Ouroboros Ring? Only senior members of our organization can obtain it, right?"
Black Snake hissed and said: "Even though I don't know the level of snakes, but the only ones who are lost now are those who went to the east... It seems that not only the plan over there has completely failed, but also all the troops have been wiped out. Otherwise, even if one of them is alive, they will not let the ring become a trophy!"
"Then what should I do here now?"
There was a trace of cold sweat on the forehead of Baron Golden Oak Collar.
In fact, no matter how much he disdains those dead people, he is well aware of their strength.
High-level professionals can be found everywhere, and the status of any one is not lower than that of the baron himself!
But after being dispatched to the east, no matter which one they were, they all disappeared so silently that they didn't even stir up a big wave.
"Don't do it, just collect the information!"
Black Snake immediately made a decision: "If it's really someone sent by the Eastern Continent, you can't possibly be their opponent! This matter will be personally responsible for the burial in the organization!"
"The Undertaker?!"
Hearing this, the Baron of the Golden Oak Collar suddenly trembled all over his body.
He is well aware of the power of these burialists. Just like their names, they are responsible for burying people or things that are harmful to the organization.
Basically, every time a shot is taken, it means that a strong person or a tyrannical organization is completely wiped out from this world.
Now that Lord Black Snake wants to send the buryer to come, it is enough to show that he attaches great importance to this matter!
"grown ups!"
It's just that the Baron of the Golden Oak Collar immediately showed embarrassment on his face: "I only know that this is a mission issued by an Easterner who went to the mercenary guild, and he did not leave any contact information... and, during this period of time, the eastern part of the port The number of people has increased significantly, I suspect that the empire has discovered something, and began to increase its efforts to track down... "
"waste!"
Black Snake commented unceremoniously: "Are you afraid? Or have you shaken your devotion to our Lord?"
Although it was just a plain question, the cold sweat on Baron Golden Oak Collar's forehead immediately flowed down.
For this organization, anyone who knows about the existence of ouroboros but has no belief represents a dangerous and disturbing factor.
When necessary, the Undertaker will be dispatched.
The Baron of the Golden Oak Collar had joined this organization in the first place before he climbed to his current position. Now is the time to cherish his life, so he naturally doesn't want to be buried like this.
"My loyalty to my lord has not wavered at all!"
The Baron of the Golden Oak Collar immediately said: "Even if I have to sacrifice my life for this, I am willing! Please rest assured, my lord, within a day, I will definitely find the trace of that person!"
"Very well, don't forget your promise, otherwise I don't mind letting the burialists bury one more person..."
Black Snake laughed wildly, and his figure gradually disappeared.
