fragrance!

Light fragrance!

Jason raised his legs and walked towards the place where the scent came from: the ruins of the 'Moon Mask' club.

After walking a few steps on the ruins, Jason locked onto a piece of rubble.

"Is there a shovel?"

Jason yelled behind him.

"have!"

Finch took out a shovel from the cannon cart and ran over.

This shovel is prepared for the troubles that the cannon cart may encounter when moving. It is a military product in the true sense. It is not only light, but also very easy to use, especially the left half of the shovel. It is so sharp that it can be used as a knife.

Taking the shovel and refusing Finch's help, Jason dug cautiously.

The rubble was quickly removed.

The carpets that had been on the grounds of the club were also cleaned.

Then, there is the broken slate floor.

With each layer of cleaning, the fragrance becomes more intense.

By now, the tangy aroma told Jason that food was in front of him.

Instead of choosing a shovel, Jason began to move the broken stone slabs by hand.

When a relatively complete stone slab was removed, a palm-sized box appeared in front of Jason.

Like the slate, the wooden box had long been broken, so that Jason could see what was inside the box without opening it.

one…

scarecrow!

A scarecrow that was supposed to have hands, feet, and a head when it was complete, but was shattered in the explosion.

It is from this smashing scarecrow that the fragrance comes.

Jason carefully picked up the broken scarecrow, with a look of hesitation on his face.

"Do you want to eat grass?"

But immediately, such hesitation disappeared.

"It's so fragrant, I'm sure you can eat it."

"Boil it with 'holy water' and dip it in some ingredients, it's fine."

With a decision in mind, Jason put the scarecrow into the leather bag he carried without hesitation.

Then, he walked towards Bundy, who had also come to the ruins and was investigating.

He needs to ask the other party about some professional matters.

"Shhhhh!"

Amidst the brisk whistle, the man walked forward in the dense forest.

However, his brisk whistle stopped suddenly, and his footsteps also stopped.

Although his whistle immediately returned to normal, and his footsteps became brisk again, but there was a trace of surprise and... distorted resentment on his face covered by the shadows.

"hehe."

"Jason, Jason."

"What an amazing apprentice!"

"The black lamb deserves to dance for you."

"You deserve..."

Whoosh!

The aria, like singing, was broken by a sharp piercing sound.

A crossbow arrow suddenly appeared from a distance.

When the sound sounded, the crossbow had pierced through the man's body and penetrated into the tree trunk behind him.

The man looked down at the wound and couldn't help laughing.

"Dan, you're still sharp and fast."

After the words fell, the man fell straight to the ground.

Blood flowed from his corpse, infecting the surrounding land.

In an instant, the surrounding vegetation withered and withered as if they had encountered a severe poison.

Moreover, this kind of withering and withering is still spreading rapidly.

But the next moment, a potion that fell from the sky stopped them.

Snapped!

The test tube fell to the ground and shattered directly.

The crystal clear liquid quickly neutralized the corpse's blood.

The withered and withered vegetation did not regenerate, but the diffuse was restrained.

A figure quietly appeared next to the corpse.

After quickly inspecting the corpse, he waved his hand.

call!

Flames spewed out, covering the corpse.

In the raging flames, the corpse was set on fire.

A middle-aged man wearing leather armor, double swords on his back, and a cloak was clearly visible under the light of the fire.

"Another puppet..."

"shepherd!"

The middle-aged man snorted coldly, then turned his head to look in Lord's direction.

"What nonsense."

As the middle-aged man said this, his stern face softened, and an unconcealable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The next moment, the middle-aged man raised his hand again.

Suddenly, the flame disappeared.

At the same time, the figure of the middle-aged man also disappeared.

'I can confirm that the explosion just now exceeded the power of a bomb! '

'It should have been possible for more than a dozen explosives to explode at the same time. '

'Also, I've checked, and there are more signs of explosions in the club - from the inside, not from the outside! '

Returning to the single dormitory, Jason, who was sitting by the fire, was still thinking about what Bundy had just said.

He doesn't care about the fact that there are bombs in the club.

In a place like that, it's common sense to have some weapons, and it shouldn't be surprising to have a wrench with the mechanic.

Jason would be surprised if he didn't.

What really caught his attention was—

"Attacking from the outside, the power of gunpowder weapons is greatly reduced, and attacking from the inside... no, no, no, you shouldn't say that!"

"It should be said that it can only exert its due effect if it is judged to be an item in the 'Moon Mask' club. If it is not, it can only exert one-tenth of the original power, or even less."

"This is all done by it?"

Subconsciously, Jason looked at the scarecrow completely boiled in the iron pot with 'holy water'.

The scattered lines rolling with the soup reminded Jason of noodles.

The noodle soup is good.

But it's even better with toppings.

The smell in the pot made Jason start to think about it.

So much so that he had to use great perseverance to pull back his thoughts.

"wrong."

"If it can achieve this level, the fragrance should be stronger, stronger than the monster-type Herken, not this kind of in-between between Submariner and Kemetia."

Jason shook his head quickly.

After comparing food many times, he has already sorted out the comparison between the concentration of food aroma and the strength of food.

The more intense the aroma, the more powerful the food.

Conversely, the weaker the food, the weaker the fragrance.

"so… "

"It is very likely that it is a ritual of some kind of specific coordination."

Thinking of this, Jason couldn't help but whispered to himself.

"Systematic occupations, inherited mysteries, numerous rituals..."

Obviously, the power of the 'mysterious side' is far more complex and weird than imagined.

Especially for a rookie like Jason.

He couldn't even tell whether the previous scene was using the power of the 'professional', or independent and non-professional, unsystematic power.

However, no matter what, Jason has more expectations for the 'mysterious gathering' he will attend tomorrow.

He hoped that he could learn more about the 'mysterious side' there.

Knowledge and hearsay are fine.

It would be great if there was information about the 'Moon Mask' club.

Although the 'Moon Mask' club has become a ruin, Jason doesn't think that's the end of the matter.

Because, from the beginning to the end, the characters who arranged all these were not aimed at him.

But to deal with his teacher.

he

Just by the way.

However, that was before.

Now

The other party should have noticed him.

What will the other party do next

And he...

How should we deal with it

A sense of urgency made Jason pick up the bowl.

next moment-

Suck, suck.
