When Hao Ren returned to Corpus Space, he was warmly welcomed by Lily.
The husky girl grabbed his arm and gnawed at least seven or eighty mouthfuls until the rigid shield glowed golden from being gnawed, and Lily couldn't bite because of her toothache.
"Landlord, can you calm down a little bit!" Lily glared at Hao Ren with her hands on her hips. "You're going to scare me to death by suddenly rushing out with such a big black thing in my arms! Charge with a nuclear bomb is a concept?"
Hao Ren was taken aback by Lily's sudden attack. He never expected that he would be taught such a lesson by this husky girl. He usually thought that this bastard only ate and slept, and had no heart at all. The girl still misses herself as the landlord at critical moments. He was quite moved and depressed: "Uh, I'm sorry... But do you think that as a husky who has passed away, do you have the right to teach me a lesson?"
Lily groaned on the spot and almost rushed up again. Luckily, Hao Ren blocked the girl back with a handful of spicy sticks in time.
It was only later that he figured out why Lily cared so much about people—in fact, the reason was very simple. She was a loyal dog and protected her master, and her instincts broke out...
After losing the energy supply, the magic reaction in the ceremony hall had calmed down, and the powerful fluctuations of mana turned into a trickle flowing slowly in the rune array, which was absorbed and dispelled by the demonic runes set by Izaks. The unpleasant oppressive aura also disappeared, and it would not be affected in any way even if the life support collar was removed. Hao Ren looked at the situation in the hall, and found that there was a large area of scorched black marks on the ceiling of the hall, and the cracks almost covered the entire roof: the powerful dark energy almost penetrated the palace of the goddess of creation.
But when he thought of a whole star exploding in an instant under the influence of dark energy, Hao Ren felt that the cracks on the roof of the hall were child's play.
The black Godslaying Sword was still suspended in the center of the room, spinning quietly in mid-air as if nothing had happened.
"What's the situation with this sword now?" Hao Ren asked the terminal monitoring the data, "Has it made any trouble since then?"
"After you transferred that mass of energy away, the magic reaction in the hall lost its support, and everything was over in a few seconds," the data terminal rarely reported seriously, "now the sword has quieted down. Ben The machine has been monitored from just now to the present, and it has not been found to continue to communicate with the outside world."
"But you said this thing is still 'alive'." Hao Ren remembered the words mentioned in the data terminal's previous communication.
The data terminal shook its body: "Yes. Something is running inside it, and it hasn't stopped since just now. Our destruction of the entire magic formula seems to be just to end its current task thread, but It has no effect on the sword."
Hao Ren approached the God Slaying Sword cautiously, and stopped only two meters away from it. He observed the wonderful shape of this evil weapon. The God Slaying Sword was like a fragment of the universe. When it slowly rotated, the tiny "stars" on the sword were fixed in a certain position. It didn't move with the blade, so it looked like a gap leading to another world.
Perhaps it really was some kind of fragment, a fragment that had fallen from "the universe." Maybe the stars on the sword are real
At this time, Vivian's voice suddenly came from the communication channel: "Can I go in by the way?"
Hao Ren hurriedly stopped him: "Hey, wait a minute! I'll put this thing away first!"
The Sword of Killing God went berserk just now because it sensed Vivienne's pure divine blood. At this time, for the sake of safety, Hao Ren decided to complete the recovery work first. He opened the portable space, took out the silver-white metal box specially used to seal dangerous items, and then released two self-discipline machines to recover the murder weapon.
Two self-disciplined machines came to the side of the God Slaying Sword, and carefully touched the strange dark sword body with their mechanical tentacles. Everyone around was ready for the unexpected. However, nothing happened in the end: the self-discipline machine easily took out the black long sword from the suspension force field, and put it into the recovery container without any surprise or danger.
Close the container and set the latch. Then activate the energy barrier of the metal box and store it in the portable space. After doing all this, Hao Ren sent a message to Vivian: "It's done. Come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a flash of lightning at the entrance of the ceremony hall, followed by a bang of thunder that struck his head.
A large group of bats flew into the hall, and in mid-air, they took the form of Vivienne, who glared at Hao Ren with her arms akimbo: "You can't be more steady? You are the one who charged with a nuclear bomb like you?" ?!"
Hao Ren suddenly felt that this statement sounded familiar, and then quickly pointed to Lily who was busy licking her fingers after eating snacks next to her: "She bit me just now, why did you hit me?"
Vivienne continued to put her hands on her hips: "Nonsense, you can listen to a husky teaching you a few words! And you blocked this guy with a pack of spicy strips!"
Lily licked her fingers: "It's half a bag—the landlord is really stingy."
Everyone: "..."
"Okay, okay, let's not pursue this matter for now?" Hao Ren let the bat and the big dog stare at him, and quickly changed the subject, "At least this matter has been resolved safely. Now the source of the accident has been recovered. Isn't it Can the Corpus incident be considered over?"
Bai Huo and Tutanyin had complicated expressions on their faces at the same time—there was the relief that the incident was finally concluded safely, and there were also belated exhaustion and emotion. And of course there are worries about the future of the Witcher family after such a disaster. But Vivian suddenly interrupted the thoughts of everyone present: "There is one more thing."
"What's the matter?" Hao Ren didn't realize that there was something missing. Now that the culprit who caused the civil war has been recovered safely, and the fighting in Corpus has also subsided, the remaining finishing work and post-investigation are not now. He felt that his job was gone.
"The First Saint," Vivienne said slowly, her eyes fell on Claude, and she suddenly became a little sharp, "Now that the biggest trouble has been solved, we can talk about it."
Claude has been standing by the side since just now, keeping a close distance from Hao Ren and the others. This outstanding demon hunter, the attendant and herald of the First Saint, was in the whole During the thrilling process, he maintained a commendable calmness, but after the incident ended, he remained silent until now, as if he was waiting for someone to call him.
Hao Ren also suddenly realized that in this mess of events, a very important person had been neglected.
The first saint of the witcher.
In the "Corpus Rebellion", the twelve saints held a strange ceremony, and then died tragically. The Presbyterian Church was involved in the flames of war in a strange state of fanaticism, and then suffered a disastrous defeat. There was a "voice" behind the scenes that guided all this , and commanded the entire war in the ceremony hall in the name of the fake saint group, and this voice is still shrouded in fog.
However, in the vortex of all this chaos, a guy who was supposed to be the most important role was ignored by everyone as if he had disappeared.
What is the first saint doing
In the ritual hall, eleven piles of ashes, and the banquet hall, Bedolis also left the remains. Among the thirteen saints, only twelve had their whereabouts confirmed, and the first saint didn't even show his face. In the past, Hao Ren and the others were too busy with various affairs to take care of this matter, but now that the dust has settled, Vivienne feels that it is necessary to let the number one sage come out for a walk.
Claude remained silent after hearing Vivienne's question, and there seemed to be no change in emotion on that eternally calm face. Lily is an impatient dog, so she inevitably bluffed: "Yes, yes Oh, where is your Supreme Commander? What is he doing with such a big deal?"
Bai Huo and Tutan also looked at Claude curiously. Even though they were both big and small cadres among the demon hunters, they had never seen that legendary adult, but they often heard about it. The legend of the first saint, or just heard the oral order of the first saint from the mouth of a "herald" like Claude.
"If it's the 'first saint' you're referring to, I've never seen him."
Claude finally spoke, but his answer was shocking.
"What are you talking about?!" Hao Ren stared, "Aren't you the attendant of the First Saint?!"
"The attendants of all ages have never seen the first saint. We just stood outside that door, pretending that there was someone inside," Claude breathed out suddenly, as if a heavy burden could finally be put down, he looked at the mess The ceremonial hall, especially those piles of ashes in the corner of the hall, "The group of saints has become history, and I don't think this secret can be kept: the first saint does not exist, it has disappeared for thousands of years, almost in the hands of the witcher It disappeared when the organization was first established."
Needle drop can be heard in the ceremony hall. (to be continued~^~)
