Weird Wizarding World

  Chapter 439 Hall of the Gods

   It was the second day when Colin learned about the Catacombs.

  In the early morning, Lilian came to his study.

   "You mean, there are many cave creatures in Into City?"

  Colin's complexion suddenly became serious.

  The pollution of the gods at the beginning was inseparable from the creatures in the catacombs, and hundreds of years ago, there were also catacombs in the Tilaimei Plain.

  So when he heard the changes of the creatures in the crypt, his heart suddenly sank.

   “No major losses occurred.”

But she never thought that Lilian shook her head and said, "There are indeed many cave creatures, but not many, and their strength is relatively weak. They've pretty much been sorted out."

  Colin was slightly relieved, as long as nothing major happened.

   Thinking about it, too, if something important happened, he wouldn't have waited until he came out of the silver chamber this morning to learn of the news.

  However, Colin thought for a while and said: "The pollution of the gods has just passed, so I should go and check it on the spot."

   "Well, I think so too." Lilian nodded, and then added after a pause: "Go and come back."

   "Why?"

   "Jennifer invited me to her birthday party this afternoon."

  Colin was slightly taken aback, "Jennifer invited you?"

   "Yes." Lilian nodded, glanced at Colin calmly, stroked her hair and said, "Shelley is also invited, and of course, there is also a mentor."

   "Well, then let's go back quickly." Colin said calmly.

   Lilian didn't say anything more, and took the lead to walk outside.

  …

  The bright autumn sun fell, and the weeds and trees beside the road showed signs of withering and yellowing.

  But the farmland is green and full of vitality.

   "Tell me exactly what happened last night?"

  Colin stood on the ridge of the field, asking questions to the wizard apprentices in Into City in front of him.

   "Yes, the great lord of Tilami." The latter suppressed the excitement in his heart, nodded, and began to narrate:

   "Last night at about two o'clock, the knights Jimmy and Rott were patrolling the farmland in front of us at night, and then they found a spider-like burrow monster near the field ridge in front, and sent out a signal for help."

"I was in the duty hut by the farmland at that time. After hearing the signal for help, I rushed over without hesitation. During the process of coming, I saw the crypt monster by the light of Jimmy's torch, and then It was just a fireball shot!"

  Wizard Apprentice Buck narrates vividly and vividly, accompanied by a lot of body language,

   "With a bang, the monster fell down in response, and at the same time, the flames of the explosion reflected the surrounding situation—it turned out that there were not only one monster in the crypt, but a full twenty! I was..."

   "Get to the point." Lilian couldn't help reminding.

  After checking here, they will go back to attend Jennifer's birthday party.

   "...Yes." Buck was taken aback, nodded quickly, paused for a while and said:

   "After seeing more than 20 monsters, I immediately asked Jin Maisui for help, but I never thought that those monsters would be vulnerable, and I would finish them all before the arrival of the wizard."

   "Besides these monsters, do you see any other abnormalities?"

   Colin looked around at the battle marks in the potholes in the surrounding farmland and asked.

   "Abnormal... I didn't see any abnormalities, but these crypt creatures are too weak, and they look strange. Each one is different, and it is also somewhat different from the common crypt creatures before."

   "Take us to see the corpses of those catacomb monsters." Colin thought for a while and said.

"yes."

  Buck nodded respectfully.

   Walking back through the farmland, they saw the corpses of monsters piled up next to the duty cabin in the farmland not long after.

  As Buck said, those crypt creatures look strange, and the spider-like crypt creature that Jimmy and Rott first met didn't look like a spider at all.

   After all... no spider has four legs, a long, thin body, and a giant mouthpart.

  However, the creatures in the Catacombs look strange. When Colin hunted in the Catacombs for several months, the creatures in the Catacombs he saw were basically different every day.

  So at this moment, he didn't pay much attention to the weird appearance of these crypt creatures. After looking carefully, he turned to Buck and continued to ask:

   "You said that it is somewhat different from the common cave creatures in the past... Which aspect do you mean?"

   As far as observing the corpses in front of them now, there is nothing special about these cave monsters except for their weak strength.

   "Hmm..." Buck frowned and tried hard to think, with beads of sweat gradually appearing on his forehead, he said, "I can't tell you exactly what the difference is."

   "Well, it doesn't matter." Colin said calmly, "If you think of it later, report it to the higher authorities immediately."

  Anything related to the Vault is not to be taken lightly.

   Maybe it's just Buck's illusion, but maybe it's not... Anyway, it's always right to pay more attention.

   Shua—Bang!

   At this moment, a firework for help suddenly rose in the distant sky.

   "Another crypt creature appeared?" Buck murmured, but when he came back to his senses, he found that the two of them had disappeared.

   "Run!"

  The patrolling knight yelled at the serfs in the farmland. In front of him was a black burrow creature that looked like a magnified mite.

  The serfs screamed and fled in panic.

  The patrolling knight also retreated slowly with the crowd, holding a solid knight sword in his hand.

   Shua!

  However, in the next second, an undetectable white streamer flashed, and a halo of light appeared on the black cave creature in front of him, and it immediately stopped in place.

  Two figures emerged.

   "Wei... the great Lord of Tilemie!" The patrolling knight turned his head, was slightly taken aback, then quickly knelt down on the ground, and shouted respectfully.

   "Get up." Colin said, but looked into the distance.

   "There are Catacomb monsters over there." Lilian followed his line of sight and said with a frown.

  Although it was only a moment for them to come here, in fact, this place is already quite a distance from the previous farmland.

   In front of you, you can already see the cave entrance area in the south of Into City.

  At this moment, dozens of crypt creatures are emerging from those strangely shaped holes.

  Before the farmland was polluted by the gods, a few cave monsters would appear from time to time in the cave area.

   But very few.

   After the farmland was polluted, perhaps because too many burrow creatures gushed out during the pollution, all the burrows fell into silence.

  After that night, until last night, no creature from the burrow was found running out.

   Whoosh!

   "Go and have a look."

  Colin pondered for a moment, and flew to the cave area with Lily.

   Shua!

  He first waved his hand to fix all the creatures that came out of the burrow in place.

   After carefully checking one by one, they couldn't find any abnormalities from these living cave creatures.

   "You wait for me here for a moment."

   After thinking for a while, Colin said to Lilian who was beside him.

   Then he randomly chose a crypt and walked in.

   It sounds like this is the first time he has entered the burrow after the farmland was polluted.

   Stepping into the crypt, the noisy sound is isolated from the outside, and the interior of the cave is dimly lit and very quiet.

  Probably the most unlucky ones when the farmlands are polluted are the wandering wizards stationed outside the Vault area.

  In addition to the farmland that night, a large number of crypt creatures also sprang up in this area all over the crypt entrances.

  The wizards stationed here to hunt the creatures of the crypt bear the brunt, and basically there are no survivors.

  The pollution in the crypt during the day was indeed stronger than at night. After walking for a short while, Colin already felt the pressure that he could only feel when he had to go deep into the crypt.

   It's just that this little pressure is not worth mentioning to him today.

  Taking another two steps, he saw several cave creatures.

   Killed it casually, and Colin checked it carefully, but found nothing unusual.

   After going on for about an hour, he has come to the cave area that he has never reached before.

  Here, even now he can no longer ignore the unique influence of the Catacombs, and the magic power in his body is a little strangely restless.

   After pondering for a moment, Colin chose to return the same way.

  According to the route recorded by Ultrain, he went all the way forward, but stopped suddenly at a side road ten minutes later.

   "No... I didn't see this intersection when I came here!"

  Colin's face turned cold, and after thinking for a moment, he took a light breath.

next moment.

   Teng!

  Powerful energy fluctuations erupted from his body, red light blood energy intertwined with light blue magic energy, and the surrounding air churned endlessly.

   At the same time, Colin also keenly caught a trace of abnormality in the "passage" in front of him.

  Boom!

  He raised his fist and swung it forward.

   "Hiss—!"

  Sharp screams accompanied by the sound of breaking and breaking suddenly sounded in the cave.

  The next second, a black mist suddenly disintegrated, and the fork in front of him disappeared, revealing the appearance in Colin's memory.

   "A crypt creature that I haven't seen before... can change the environment in the crypt, and it doesn't seem to be a pure illusion."

  Colin's face remained unchanged, and he continued to return to the ground.

   There are still many unknown secrets hidden in the catacombs...

  …

   "Did you find anything?" Lilian, who was waiting outside, was relieved to see him come out, and then asked.

   "No." Colin shook his head, "I didn't find anything unusual in the crypt."

   "That may be because the wandering wizards stationed here in the past disappeared, and no one hunted the cave creatures, which caused them to spread outward."

"Maybe." Colin nodded, "Go back and send a few wizards to temporarily station here, and then issue orders for the purchase of crypt creatures through the Chasai Chamber of Commerce and the Loen Kingdom. After a while, there will naturally be wandering wizards." Come hunt crypt creatures."

  In fact, even if he doesn't care, it won't be long before those wandering wizards will get wind of it.

   After all, the corpses of catacombs have many magical uses, and they are best-sellers everywhere.

   "Okay." Lilian nodded in agreement, looked at the time and smiled again: "One o'clock in the afternoon, we will go back just in time for Jennifer's birthday party!"

   "I don't know if Shelley has left. She didn't want to accept Jennifer's invitation at first, and she only agreed to go at my suggestion."

   Lilian was talking in a rambling manner while observing Colin's reaction.

  One Shelley is enough to give her a headache, if there is another Jennifer, then she can only get a third of the share... which is not enough.

   "Hmm." Colin listened quietly, without commenting.

  Night.

  Gusui Block.

  Jennifer's private villa.

  The small banquet hall on the second floor was brightly lit, and laughter accompanied by music.

   "Is this wine...I remember it was made from wheat.

  Why does it smell like flowers? ...It seems that golden flame flowers were added, I will ask someone to pick some for you tomorrow, sister Lilian! "

   "Sister Shelley, come and try this McNugget cake! This is a specialty of our Loen Kingdom, let's see if you can taste how it's made."

  In the corner, Colin watched this scene, took a sip from a glass of juice, and smiled softly.

   After all, Jennifer has just turned fourteen years old. Apart from being a queen, she is just a cute fourteen-year-old girl.

  Who can be cold-faced to a hot and cute girl?

  At least, neither Lilian nor Shelley could do it.

  Colin laughed silently again.

   It's a pity that the current environment is far from stable enough for him to feel at ease and consider the love of his children.

   We still have to seize all the time to improve our strength...

  …

   sea area.

  Thirteen sky-reaching gray towers stand tall, straight into the sky, and in the center of them is the Hall of the Gods.

   This is an inverted cone-shaped black square platform suspended in mid-air. The power of the gods has been entrenched in the sky all year round, forming a bright and deep dome of light flow.

  The popes gathered here, with illusory figures, unable to see their appearance, or even the number.

   Their discussion seems to have come to an end, and one of the popes said slowly:

   "The plan to pollute the farmland has failed, and the next action can't go wrong."

   "Hmph, everyone knows that the failure of this operation is not our fault. The pollution of the farmland is not to say that no one on the wizard side can solve it, but in the end..."

   "Are you accusing my lord?!"

  Om—!

  A gray-green figure was furious, and asked in a deep voice, with a frightening muddy light brewing from the top of the dark green scepter in his hand.

   "Okay, it's useless to dwell on the past." A golden voice in the center said solemnly.

   "My lord will not be profaned!" The gray-green figure saw him speak, and the light on the scepter was slightly weaker, but he still said in a deep voice.

   "I don't mean to accuse the Poisonous and Wrathful Demon God...the great Him is beyond me." The Pope who had spoken out before was silent for a moment, and also chose to give in.

   "Hmph!" The gray-green figure snorted coldly and said no more.

   "Speaking of farmland pollution, the wizard who led to our plan..." Another voice said.

   "Don't worry, I have made arrangements, he won't live long." A hoarse voice said flatly.

   "The wizard is not the point, the next action is what we should pay attention to, and I hope you don't make any mistakes..."

"Of course…"

  After the discussion ended, the figures of the popes disappeared, and the gray-black stone platform returned to an empty appearance, leaving only the bright stream of divine power circulating in the sky endlessly.
