Chapter 888: Tracing back to the source

The suture monster-like priest looked at Fernando blankly with his pupilless eyes: "He dedicated this villa to the great god."

"Then where is he?" Fernando asked solemnly, feeling more and more strange in his heart. Isn't Tuke planning to escape from here? Why did he suddenly become a believer of the evil god

Could it be that he has been completely distorted by the priest of the evil god, or even the evil god himself, and has become a "dedicated" without self

The priest's voice became calm: "He is in the temple."

"I'm his friend. I'm here to find him. I hope you can take me to the temple to meet him." Fernando was originally unwilling to take the risk of going directly to the lair of this group of eccentric believers, but from a normal analysis, he came to find the figure. There is a "mage's mansion" here, which belongs to the city controlled by magicians. It is really dangerous, and assistance can be obtained. If you don't go, it is easy to be discovered by mysterious hunters.

Of course, Fernando knew very well in his heart that, in fact, this might not be a city controlled by magicians. This was inferred from the appearance of the "Savior".

The priest moved forward slowly, and walked around Fernando lightly as if he could see things: "Follow me, mage who is too suspicious. When you arrive at the temple, you will feel the majesty and nobility of the gods. A better path was chosen."

He didn't stop it? Fernando had no time to think, and followed the priest out of the villa.

At this time, the night was dark, the silver moon was hazy, the city was full of darkness, and there were few lights.

Fernando followed the priest neither fast nor slow, but his brain was running fast. Analyzing the whole thing: "A magician inexplicably became a believer of the evil god after leaving such a note, and the whole city could enter but not exit. And there were people who specially brought water and food... Is this what magicians are doing here? What is this city doing secretly, or the evil god believers quietly infiltrated Kufrey, took it into his hands little by little, and then sealed off the city for the sake of secrecy... "

It is not difficult to logically derive these two guesses. Because this is an area controlled by magicians after all, and it is on the verge of the various churches of alien gods. The hands of dark creatures, elves, dwarves, or God of truth cannot be stretched so long, so they are easy to be discovered, and the former also includes the possibility of cooperating with evil gods. .

He weighed and judged the two possibilities, trying to figure out the overall situation and find a way to escape, and the fact that the caller was a magician seemed to point to the latter possibility.

The priest in front walked to the market area. Pushed open the door of a shop.

There are a lot of groceries inside the door, and there is nothing special about it. The blind priest walked through this messy place dexterously without encountering anything.

In the center of the shop, a stone step leads obliquely to the ground, and a bright yellow light is faintly leaking from it.

"Cufrey also has this kind of underground secret room. No wonder the archmage was able to hide and ask for help." Fernando thought to himself, suddenly. He frowned, aware of the contradiction: "I deduced before that the mysterious pursuer is at least a level nine powerhouse. Otherwise, the archmage who still has the ability to make me fall into a dream cannot be trapped here. "

"Such a strong person, after knowing that his enemy is hiding in this city, will he secretly investigate, or directly use the strongest method to wipe out the entire city in two or three strokes?"

Fernando believes that the strong in this era do not have the good intentions to take into account the life that is not their own, and they will inevitably choose the corresponding method if they can complete the task in the fastest time. In order not to delay the time, the enemy's reinforcements arrived and killed him on the spot. Therefore, how could this strong man choose to "hide and seek" with the great mage in Kufrey? Passed by here by chance

Obviously, directly using thunder means to destroy the city, forcing out or directly killing the archmage in the hiding place is the most effective method—unless he is hiding very deep underground, or is protected by a nine-level mystic, However, if the former is not protected by magic effects, it is easy to be discovered by extraordinary means. Therefore, once a huge blow that can destroy the city comes, those mysteries and magic effects will fluctuate due to stress, and thus be discovered.

There is another possibility, that is, the hidden method has already involved the deep-level mysteries of time and space, but it is obviously impossible for a great mage to do it. If it is formed naturally, then he can rest at ease and heal his wounds, and there is no need to rush for help.

The most important point is that it is not a short distance away from Alto, no matter what big movement happens, as long as the "Mage's Mansion" is destroyed as soon as possible, no one will find it within ten minutes. "So, this mysterious It's not that the pursuer didn't want to wipe out the city directly, but because there was some factor that made him take into account, so that he didn't dare to choose such a drastic method, so he had to play 'hide and seek' with the Archmage... "

Pushing back the enemy's thoughts from the choice of method and action, Fernando grasped the "truth" more and more: "Either the ability of the evil god here exceeds level nine, which makes him scrupulous, or that is the only possibility!"

Combining with the previous speculation that "whether the magicians are doing something secretly with this city, or the followers of evil gods have quietly infiltrated Cufrey, held it in their hands little by little, and then sealed off the city for secrecy", Fernando believes that I have seen through the fog!

"If the evil god has reached the legendary level, given the current situation, as long as he is willing, the magicians will definitely cooperate with him and give him a 'missionary territory'. Why be so sneaky..."

"Moreover, there are problems with magicians here. Even if they can forge voices and letters, there will always be various loopholes that are difficult to cover up, such as those who deliver water and food but do not enter the city, and the source of these water and food... in In the tense situation, it is difficult not to be noticed by Alto's magicians... "

"So, this is and can only be a secret experiment site of the legendary masters of Aalto! Only they can isolate a city within their rule from the outside world without suspicion, and mobilize a large amount of food without attracting attention!"

"That's why the mysterious chaser didn't choose to destroy the city, it would attract legends immediately!"

The fog of "in front" dissipated little by little, and the whole situation was revealed in Fernando's eyes. But after judging this, he fell into an even more astonished situation.

"Here we are." The priest's stiff voice sounded in Fernando's ear.

He managed to pull himself together from his own thoughts. I realized that I had walked up the steps unknowingly, and stood in a hall full of death patterns.

In the main hall, many people knelt down and prayed, there were men and women, old and young.

"Took." In front of the gods. The priest's voice became low.

A man in an old black coat in front of him moved backwards towards the priest and Fernando. He didn't stand up, but just knelt.

It wasn't until he left the prayer team that he turned around and looked at Fernando: "Who are you?"

His eyes were confused and cloudy.

Fernando recognized that this is the real Tuke, and solemnly said: "I hope to attract a group of potential magicians, and Fran recommended you."

He specifically mentioned Fran and hid information about the Great Holm area, hoping to make people feel scruples. While it's unlikely, it's better than nothing.

"Hehe, a magician with potential..." Tuke emphasized the word magician, and said calmly and serenely: "I have understood the true meaning of life, and I will never study that boring magic again."

"Really? I'm sorry." Fernando replied politely and normally.

In fact, if anyone familiar with his character was present, they would all be aware of his weirdness. How could it be possible that the "Growler" didn't spray Tuke all over his head and face. Beliefs and gods are worthless.

At this time, Fernando's heart was full of turbulent waves, not because of Tuke. But he has seen the true face of the matter clearly!

"The matter can be divided into two parts. One is that the mages are secretly researching something with this cult. They have sealed off the city for this reason, and they are not allowed to enter. The other part is that an archmage was hunted down and hid in the Some hidden place in the city. Put me to sleep through prayer rituals, and ask me for help."

"After this separation, the problem was completely exposed. The archmage and the hunter obviously knew the specialness of this place, otherwise someone would have tried to destroy the city, and then lead to the legend to be killed."

"So, would a city that is so tightly controlled by magicians sit back and watch an archmage be hunted down? Even if the archmage feels that the magicians here have been controlled by mysterious hunters, he can still create a big magician himself. The movement caused the legend to monitor here, but he didn't do that!"

"And the magician's secret research base, which mobilized a lot of manpower and material resources to block the city's secret research base, will it be so easily controlled by people?"

"Unless, unless, the legend monitoring here is in the same group as that mysterious pursuer, even equal to that mysterious pursuer!"

"That's why the archmage who sensed something was wrong from a certain channel didn't ask for help directly. Therefore, places such as the 'mage's mansion' can be easily controlled, because they are already under control."

"The reason why the legend did not use strong means is probably because there are still many legends paying attention to this place, so he dare not make too much noise!"

Although he didn't know why this happened, and didn't know if he was involved in internal strife, Fernando couldn't think too much at this time. He only had a tingling feeling in his scalp. Was he an enemy of a legend

He didn't wait for Antaike and Fran to find his missing self, because the legend would definitely choose to kill himself before then, anyway, this is a rule jointly formulated by many lords—Kufrey can enter but not exit!

Tu Ke nodded and walked back to the prayer line. Fernando mechanically thanked the priest and walked outside.

"How can I save myself?" Fernando kept thinking, but he couldn't think of a way to escape from Legend.

Stepping into the street, with the cool silver moon shining on his body, Fernando cleared his head and decided to change his thinking and consider the problem from the perspective of the trapped archmage.

"Since the matter is related to the legendary monitor here, it is very risky for the archmage to let me sleep, and from Turan's notes, there is no such content, which means that he asked me for help because he thought there would be A certain hope, not a random choice."

"Then where is this hope? Is it my wisdom, magical strength, or something else?"
