Heaven's Formula

"Lord Yongyi!" The guardian knight interrupted again.

"So that's what happened." Xia Fan patted Des Moines on the shoulder, "Don't be too nervous, I've seen such pirates with my own eyes, it's really not a secret."

"What do you mean?" He frowned.

"Natatin's fleet just showed up in the east once. It is the governor's navy on weekdays, but it becomes a pirate when it attacks the city."

"Have you ever had a conflict with Natatyn's navy?" Taxis asked unexpectedly, "What happened in the end?"

"The governor died in battle, the warship was confiscated, and thousands of prisoners were captured." Xia Fan pretended to be relaxed and replied.

The girl was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly, "There is such a thing? Why didn't you say it earlier! With this deed alone, you will be welcomed by the Church of Hera. Although there is no way to publicly commend it, there are various benefits. Absolutely indispensable!"

"Even if the victory has nothing to do with the Holy Wing Islands?"

"How could it have nothing to do with it? Every weakening of the Natatian Kingdom is to relieve the pressure for the countries." Taxis looked at Xia Fan with more eager eyes, "The church has been recruiting people who can give Nata Warriors who caused trouble in the court, after this matter is over, you can go to the royal capital with us."

"My lord, it may be true or not. Let's capture the real culprit who attacked the convoy before talking about other things." Des Moines reminded, "They are coming around again."

The fighting in the cave lasted about an hour, and the enemy's resistance gradually weakened.

Taxis and her team also broke into the deepest part of the lair.

There are obviously air holes here that are connected to the outside world. Not only does it not feel stuffy, but you can occasionally feel a cool breeze.

The jury held up the torch and walked into the cave, quickly illuminating the small space.

"How...how did you find this place?"

A middle-aged man was sitting against a stone wall, with doubts and pity in his tone, but no fear.

"He is Du Lin!" Li identified on the spot.

"Yes, I'm Du Lin, the doctor of the tower." Du Lin's complexion was a little pale, he was holding his waist, and blood was oozing from his fingers. "I didn't expect that the Church of Hera would notice a little person like me. I'm really honored...cough cough..."

He was hurt, Xia Fan realized.

This person didn't hide here from the beginning. He might have thought of resisting the church's attack with other thugs, but in the end he was injured by the stray bullets from the explosion and had to withdraw from the battle.

Is such a person the mastermind of the entire attack?Maybe Du Lin is very proficient in drugging and torturing patients, but his own strength is too weak, and he doesn't seem to be a strong man who can make the team disappear suddenly.

But who is it if not him?The enemies in the cave were dead and wounded, and they had completely lost the ability to resist the church.There are also one or two demon possessors, but compared with a group of elite dragon descendants, the gap in strength is like a sky abyss, which cannot cause enough trouble for the jury.After cleaning all the way, the resistance of the lair was far lower than he expected.

Taxis took a step forward and lifted him up from the ground, "Where is the Son of the Holy Spirit?"

"Cough...just behind this wall..." Du Lin said with difficulty.

"How to open the wall?"

"Need to turn the handle...it's ten paces to the left."

His cooperative attitude made Xia Fan more vigilant.

"Be careful, in the underground laboratory, we have encountered the mechanism that sprays dead mist."

"I know. But the dragonborn is not that afraid of the death mist," Taksis nodded, "The high-heat flames are enough to make the death mist retreat."

She quickly found the handle and did as she was told.

Driven by the screw device, the stone wall slowly slid away to one side, revealing the hidden inner chamber.

The moment it was fully opened, Xia Fan's heart sank suddenly.

The inner room was only two feet long and wide, and with candles lit, everyone outside could easily see what was going on inside.

The first thing Xia Fan saw were two corpses nailed to the wall with an iron bond.

6 Chapter Twenty

Said it was a corpse, because there was no possibility of the two of them surviving.

Their bodies were covered with bruises, and there was no intact skin all over their bodies. God knows how much pain they suffered before they died.What's even more frightening is that their waists were completely cut off, and half of their spines protruded from the flesh and blood, like a stand supporting a puppet.The blood that flowed out from the cut in the abdomen almost dyed the small half of the stone wall crimson.

What made Xia Fan feel the coldest was the age and clothing of the two of them.Fifteen or sixteen years old, and the dilapidated red and gold two-color robes on their bodies, all showed their identities.

"How could this be..." Des Moines took two steps back in disbelief.

The eyes of other members of the jury also showed obvious anger!

"Xia Fan... Could it be that these two are..." Li covered his mouth and said.

"Son of the Holy Spirit".

Xia Fan didn't answer, but the reactions of the people around him had already given the answer.

The goal they have been looking for is now in front of them, but the plan to awaken Ning Wanjun has completely failed.

"Des Moines!" Taxis snorted.

"Yes!" The guardian knight reacted suddenly, and immediately rushed into the secret room with the two of them, and took off the human body hanging on the wall.No matter what, they must first confirm the identity of the deceased, so as not to give the enemy an opportunity in panic.

"By the way, the Holy Son may be a forgery," Li nodded quickly, "If the murderer behind the scenes really wants to kill the Holy Son, there is no need to spend so much effort. The attack on the carriage can be done on the spot—"

"Cough...nothing to test." Du Lin interrupted her, "No matter how you look at it, these two are true children of the Holy Spirit, otherwise I wouldn't be able to use their emblems to get Dead Mist .”

"Lord Yongyi, the corpses... are real." Des Moines also confirmed the test results at this moment, "The blood shows that they are all descendants of high-ranking dragons, which fit the characteristics of the children of the Holy Spirit."

"Look, I've told you before—ga—" Du Lin said halfway, when he was suddenly punched in the abdomen by Taxis, and his whole body curled up like a shrimp.Then the latter grabbed him by the neck and slammed him against the wall.Du Lin's head was bleeding, and he screamed out because of the severe pain in his abdomen!

"What exactly are you trying to do?" Dragon Girl gritted her teeth, "Take the hostages and kill them... Do you simply want to offend the Church?"

"I...I don't know...that person's purpose..." Du Lin opened and closed his mouth with difficulty, "I just want to fulfill my wish, that's all."

Hearing these words, Taxis couldn't help shrinking her eyes.

She immediately put Du Lin back on the ground, so as not to kill him by grabbing him, "Who is that person? Azie?"

"Azie is just like me... just an ordinary person." Du Lin coughed up blood.

"Who else? The mage Leonard Phantom next to him!?"

"Give up...you can't guess." Du Lin raised the corner of his mouth, "Until the disaster strikes, you will never know what happened in Azure Castle..."

There was a clicking sound from Taxis's mouth.

Obviously she restrained herself from killing with the greatest perseverance.

"You are collecting souls. Or... you are collecting magic power that can be used to cast magic." Xia Fan said suddenly.

The members of the jury swished their gazes at him.

Du Lin's expression froze, and the second half of the sentence got stuck in his throat.

"Collecting magic power?" Taxis frowned, "What are you talking about? Isn't magic power everywhere?"

"Sure enough...you don't know about this." Xia Fan found that he had overlooked a problem, that is, what Yongchao studied was not common sense known to the world.He also learned the reason for the fall of the Yongchao after contacting the senior officials of the Gyeonggi Privy Council.And the more important point is that the Western Pole and the six eastern countries cannot be generalized. As a person who senses Qi among human beings, it is a matter of course for an alchemist to study spells.

But West Pole is not like that!

Demons hold the main power and are in the ruling class. As a kind of "clan" who are naturally sensitive and have natural magic skills, it is not necessary to study magic skills.Their abilities will be strengthened over time, and even if they don't put much effort into spells, they can still reach a very high level.At the same time, the dragonborn also suppressed another group of aura-sensing people - mages, which was tantamount to further blocking the exchange of spell research.

On the silver star tree boat, the mage of Nattatin once cast a strange spell similar to summoning, and its material is the soul, which also made Xia Fan think that Xiji should generally know the principle of evil spirits and the source of the power of evil spirits. , but now it seems that this is not the case.

"To put it simply, torture and pain can make Qi—that is, magic power continue to exist after leaving the body, and it can be used as raw materials for creating demons." Xia Fan replied briefly, "I'm not wrong, Doctor Du Lin .Your painstaking efforts to weaken the deadly effect of the dead fog test record is the best evidence!"

"Creating demons?" Taksis looked at Du Lin incredulously, "Any demon is a very threatening existence, and it is the enemy of all living beings, including yourself! But you want to create it?"

"If I can't fulfill my wish alive, then it's not bad to fulfill it by dying..."

"What is your wish?" Xia Fan asked.

"Of course it is to return the things that the looters took from the master of the tower to the master..." Du Lin suddenly coughed violently in the middle of speaking, and he spat out a large mouthful of black blood, which looked like lumps of congealed meat freeze.

"No!" Taksis realized that the situation was not good, she quickly squatted down, and pried open the doctor's mouth—only to see his teeth melted like ooze, and his throat was full of dirty blood.This is definitely not the kind of trauma you get when you hit a wall or get hit by a stray bullet.

Xia Fan immediately guessed the problem, "He injected himself with death mist!"

But it was too late.

In less than a few breaths, Du Lin had exhausted more breath, less intake, his eyes were completely lost, and he couldn't say a word anymore.

According to the test records, the dead fog will cause great pain when it erodes the human body. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a kind of tragic torture, but until Du Lin swallowed his last breath, there was no trace of ferocity on his face. There was still a faint smile on the corner of Zhu's mouth.

That is the fulfillment of a wish.

The members of the jury had complicated expressions for a while.

They never imagined that things would turn out like this before they set off.

Only the flames in Taxis's eyes were still bright, "Everyone, the matter is not over yet! If Ambassador Xia's information is correct, then the real culprits who attacked the convoy were people other than Azie and Du Lin—" She looked at Xia Fan, "This person is using the potion made by the dead mist to summon a more powerful demon?"

"Nine times out of ten this is the case...and..." Xia Fan glanced at the remnant body of the Son of the Holy Spirit, hesitated to speak, a question that had never been answered was always lingering in his mind-that is, it was made by different people. Will the negative energy generated vary from person to person?If so, is it a kind of consciousness?

Chapter 621 I won't regret it

After all, the evil technique only needs to use the soul as medicine, and there is no requirement for the quality of the soul.If someone really wants to create evil behind the scenes, it is enough to choose the hired workers of Baiguoyuan as the target, so why bother to attack the parade of the church?

The other party is willing to take a huge risk to intercept and kill the Son of the Holy Spirit. It can only be said that there is a deeper purpose in it.

Just as Xia Fan was thinking, there was a muffled thunderous bang from outside the cave!

Then the whole cliff shook slightly.

Everyone's expressions changed, and they hurriedly ran out of the cave.

As soon as he rushed out of the lair, the two dragon descendants who had stayed by the trestle bridge had already flown over.

"What happened?" Taxis noticed that the sparkling light on the sea had disappeared, and the entire cave was pitch black.

"Master Yongyi, the enemy has planted gunpowder above the cave!" The left behind reported, "The explosion just now collapsed part of the mountain wall, and now the entrance to the sea has been blocked by falling rocks!"

"I'm afraid it was the news from Du Lin." Li suddenly realized, "That's why he insisted until then to attract everyone into the same cave."

How he sent the message is irrelevant now.

Huge falling rocks rolled down the mountain, building a new barrier at the original junction of the sea and trapping everyone in the cave.

This kind of "trap" is far from enough to imprison the jury forever. With the strength and size of the dragonborn, the falling rocks will be cleaned up sooner or later.

The question is how much time it will take.

Taxis knew in her heart that after a long preparation, the enemies hidden behind the curtain had completely bared their fangs.

……

"let me out!"

Momola yelled loudly as she shook the iron railing vigorously.

But apart from the faint echo from the narrow corridor and the dripping water above her head, she couldn't hear any response.

She thought she had escaped from this place forever, but she didn't expect to return here one day.

"If you don't let it out, I'll crash and die in the cage!" Momola gritted her teeth.

"Miss, I advise you not to do this." A figure suddenly walked out from behind the stone pillar not far away, "Madam will only use stricter measures to restrict your actions when she hears about it, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to even speak." gone."

"It's you...Guna." With the help of the dim firelight, Momola recognized the appearance of the man.He spent most of his childhood taking care of himself.He is also one of Xin Beya's most trusted subordinates.

"Long time no see." Guna nodded, "How's it going... You must have suffered a lot during your wanderings outside, right?"

Momola grabbed the railing and said, "That's better than nesting in the sewer, being a blood-sucking parasite! Guna, listen carefully, I have to get out of here, otherwise many people will suffer, where is the key? I know You must have the key to unlock it!"

Guna shook his head with a little regret, "The many people you mentioned...are you referring to those hired workers in Baiguoyuan? Give it up, they are probably in danger."

Momola couldn't help but startled, "Do you know what I'm doing after I go out?"

"Madam asked me to pay attention, but I still missed it. The people behind Baiguoyuan are not something I can afford to provoke. If I noticed earlier, I wouldn't let you fall into this situation."

"No, we can deal with them. The hired workers are not alone and helpless, as long as you let me out! Can't I beg you!" Momola's words had a hint of hoarseness.

"That's enough, how long are you going to be willful?" Suddenly a yell interrupted her pleading.

I saw a few figures coming out of the shadows, the leader was a tall woman, she was wearing a touch of golden tulle, her beautiful body was faintly visible under the veil, and there was a golden chain hanging on her navel.Logically speaking, such clothing should not appear in the wet and dark underground waterway, but when worn on this person, there is no sense of incongruity.Her hair is also curly like waves, her eyes are orange-red, and her skin is slightly brown. Except for the half-beast features, the woman is almost carved out of the same mold as Momola.

"Ma'am." Guna lowered his head and got out of the way.

"Xinbeya..." Momola couldn't help but took a step back.

"You are rude, you should call my mother." Xin Beya walked to the edge of the cage, "Do you know how much trouble you have caused everyone?"

"Trouble?" Catwoman gritted her teeth, "You mean collaborating with Baiguoyuan to entrap factory employees? I saw with my own eyes that the people who arrested the workers on the carriage and took them underground are the members of the Shagu Gang!"

"Because your life fell into their hands!" Xin Beya's voice also rose, "Do you think I want to get involved in this matter? Now they take this area as their own, Sha Gu Gang has to follow their instructions, all this is not for getting you back safe and sound!"

"I didn't expect you to care so much about my life..." Momola sneered, "The owner of Baiguoyuan really makes you so timid? I don't think my mother is so timid."

"It would be fine if it was just Azie... You don't even know what kind of enemy you have provoked." Xin Beya suddenly looked tired and sighed, "Forget it, maybe this is fate. After this incident , I’m afraid everyone will start wandering again.”
