Chapter 63 Deep Interlude

"Let's go, there's nothing good to look here anymore." Deria restrained her expression and turned toward the exit when she came down.

John and Moria probably understood what had happened just now, and did not say anything, followed each other out.

"Then, Mr. Derek, how do we find each other?" Molia asked after Derek.

The three of them walked in the gloomy and dark courtyard. The full and bright moonlight became sparse through the maple trees that were scattered like ghosts, leaving only scattered lights falling in the courtyard.

"It's hard to find." Delia just sighed.

"You know, we have noticed that some people are making trouble in Gria before."

"And after asking for help from the brothers around us but failed, we even knew that someone wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble."

"But there is no way, the other party used all kinds of extraordinary events to involve most of our energy."

"Even if the group of people from the Imperial Astronomical Society helped to make divination and prophecy, they did not find out the other party's traces."

"If you two weren't the bait, and then we could observe the fate of both of you through the Eye of Dawn, we wouldn't be able to catch each other."

Speaking of this, Deria sighed again, as if she was extremely disappointed that she had not killed the other party.

"Mr. Derria, why didn't Master Ryan come here? If that person could come here, the other party would definitely not be able to escape." John asked again.

This time, Molia did not show any angry expression, because this was also a question he wanted to know. As for whether he would anger his superiors who were not directly concerned about them, they didn't care. However, according to the information they collected, the other party was not the one who was responsible for these matters.

"There is nothing to do about it." Sure enough, Derria did not express anger at their questions, because he himself understood that he was not the best candidate. "But Master Ryan needs to find the magic circles they set up in Gria City to destroy the other party's plans, and the remaining Ms. Catherine also needs to be stationed at the base."

In the series of previous actions, they realized that in addition to the other party's purpose, although they didn't know what the other party was thinking, they were sure that the other party had done these things for rituals such as sacrifices or sacrifices.

Only in this way can they explain why the other party was doing things like killing civilians and collecting souls in Gria City. Because everything has a reason. Except for those who are mentally abnormal, even the cultists have strong purpose in their actions.

The flesh and blood of intelligent creatures and the soul of human beings are almost essential in various evil rituals, such as hard currency, offering sacrifices to evil gods, praying for gods to descend, praying for life, and making transactions with the devil. These two materials are almost used in this series of behaviors.

Therefore, after detecting the other party's actions, they began to act in the city, hoping to find out the location where the enemy was preparing to perform the ceremony as soon as possible.

However, for a big city like Gria, where hundreds of thousands of people live, it is almost impossible to find all places once in a short time. It is not a matter of the energy of the extraordinary, but the other party is not an easy opponent.

The Pale Parliament has been able to exist under the empire's nose for so long and has not been eradicated. Their power is secondly. In terms of power, no organization can easily compare with the empire. However, their hidden escape skills are really outstanding. The empire has made careful plans many times, and mobilized the prophecy masters of the Astronomical Society to assist, and even increased the output power of the Eye of Dawn, but it still failed to capture the other party's heavyweight.

Derria came here today, just to try her best. He did not have much expectation of killing the other party. His main purpose was to destroy the existence of the ritual.

But beyond his expectations, in their calculations, 90% of the other parties who had not removed the ritual altar had already been prepared and had moved the magic circles needed for the ceremony before they came to investigate.

"Now I can only see Master Ryan." Derria said in a low voice, not expecting too much, because he was the one who was here to perform the decapitation and destruction mission before, but the master's responsibilities were just in case, and there was no too clear goal. It was really hard to find the other party in a short time.

The master prevents the other party from doing more things that harm the people, resulting in large-scale casualties, and searching for magic circles is just a coincidence.

However, they don't have much time left.

Yes, this is what Deria is most worried about, because the other party has removed things like the magic circle altar, which means that the other party has prepared for the ceremony and is waiting for a certain time to start the ceremony.

Almost all types of sacrifice arrays have a flaw, that is, once the array starts, it is almost impossible to move before all the materials are collected and arranged. If the altar is moved completely without the arrangement of the array, the surging magic energy circuit will be destroyed, and the accumulated energy will also overflow and disappear. In severe cases, it can even cause an explosion like a shaking mountain.

Only after the magic array has been fully arranged, the magic energy circuits on the magic array ritual will form a continuous self-circulation without being disturbed by the outside world.

Moreover, the ritual of sacrifice involves a lot of things, ranging from the shape of the altar, the choice of tribute, to the specific date and time of the sacrifice.

And now, Deria couldn't help but look up at the bright silver moon as perfect as a jade plate, which was the time of promise.

Today is a rare day in the Dawn Calendar. At this time, Silver Moon is the most powerful time of the year, and many ritual arrays will be greatly enhanced tonight.

If he was not mistaken, the other party should have started soon. Deria's eyes were covered with darkness, like the black clouds beside the silver moon.

...

"Master Ryan, Mr. Derria just sent a message of failure through the contactor, and there was no ritual there." In the central area of ​​Gria City, a man wearing a black windbreaker with a badge of swords and intersecting swords on his chest said to the old man beside him whose hair was already a little gray but still experienced vigorously.

The old man's figure is still tall and tall, not like a mage, but a warrior who can pick up a big knife at any time, which is exactly the characteristic of the North. However, his wrinkled skin and bright and deep eyes show the other party's profound wisdom.

"Has it failed?" The old man lowered his head and muttered.

"Everyone spread out around here, adjust the magic particle detector in his hand to the negative energy detection mode, and carefully check the surrounding areas."

"Yes." A low voice sounded in unison around. Although it was already late at night, such sounds and behaviors did not attract the attention of pedestrians on the quiet long street.

The pedestrians who were wandering on the street at this time sometimes glanced over here, but they did not show any surprise expressions. It seemed that there was nothing strange here, just like the empty streets in other places.

The executive officers around the old man dispersed and held a magic weapon of strange shape to explore the surrounding area.

"Master, Mr. Derria has not destroyed the other party's magic circle. Are you not in a hurry?" At this time, the man who had been by Ryan said anxiously. His face in the shadow appeared under the bright moonlight. It was Yaheng who had protected Director Angus in the arrest of Correll.

"Aren't I just doing it?" Ryan smiled and said slowly when he heard the other party's tone.

"But this is the center of Gria City, the administrative center of Gria City, and even the nobles who were above the top were just not far away. How could this be..." Yaheng expressed his opinion anxiously, but as he spoke, he seemed to realize something, and his voice gradually became weak until it was gone.

Ryan listened to the other person's words and kept the smile on his face, but the deepest part of his eyes was cold.

They walked on the long street, their pace slow and slow, but they could take more than ten meters of distance with each step, as if the space was twisted under their feet.

Silver-level spellcasters will almost touch the realm of space. Of course, it is only a preliminary involvement. It is okay to perform short-distance space jumps, but once a long-distance space jump is designed, you need to record the coordinates in advance and then arrange a large magic array to achieve it.

"You have reacted. You know, we did not react slowly. We even used a lot of resources and energy after understanding the other party's goal, but we still couldn't find the other party's trace."

"At the beginning, we devoted all our energy to Dongcheng District because we subconsciously believed that the other party would hide in a chaotic slum and hide ourselves in a large number of refugees and mixed gangs."

"For this, we also used Austin and caused a huge wave in the East Side area, but we still found nothing."

"And now, we still haven't grabbed the other party's feet while asking for foreign aid from other executive departments and using them as bait."

"Even if Deria left an unforgettable impression on the other party, she did not find the most critical magic array."

"You said, how could they know what we did tonight."

Speaking of this, the smile on Ryan's face had completely disappeared, and the bone-black chill appeared on his face as in his eyes, and the murderous intent as cold as the ice on the extreme Arctic ice field.

"..." Yaheng heard the other party's words and wanted to speak several times, but in the end he didn't say a word.
