Chapter 376 The legendary artifact of the past
For believers seeking knowledge.
The information they had previously received from the oracle sent down by Noven only knew that to save the goddess of illusion, they needed to rush into the castle and stop the Countess of Ceylon.
But what is the connection between the two?
What did the countess do to influence a god.
They don't know these details.
Now through Nicole's description, the chain of evidence is finally connected.
Ancient artifacts. Those who hold the artifacts can release more powerful magic, but the cost is that the gods bear the consequences.
The Countess was undoubtedly obsessed with her obsession, and she would do whatever it took to achieve her obsession, even leading to tragedies such as the Evernight Disaster.
If Norwin's believers hadn't arrived in time enough, I don't know how many ordinary people in Ceylon would have suffered.
"What are the backgrounds of those two men in black robes and the artifacts they provided?"
Peter asked and confirmed.
Nicole shook her head: "I don't know. Every time they enter the castle from the secret passage, they wear black robes and wide hoods that cover themselves tightly."
"The only thing I can confirm is that they seem to be related to the Glow Cult."
"Once I secretly followed them and found that they left along the secret passage and went to the Glow Church outside the city!"
"Bishop Henry Trong happened to show up in the same place."
"I have no way of knowing what they talked about, because I was soon discovered by my mother leaving the castle. She forcibly used the character forged by that illusion to take away control of my body."
"When I regained consciousness, I found myself back in the castle."
Peter frowned: "You don't have any clues at all? What about their appearance? Appearance? Any information that might be useful!"
Nicole tried hard to recall: "They were a little short, not like normal human body types, a bit like dwarves or hybrids."
"And... I once accidentally saw a weird tattoo on their neck under their hood?"
Peter's heart moved.
"Tattoo? Is it a swirly one? A small blob?"
As he spoke, he drew a rough outline.
Nicole's eyes lit up and she nodded immediately.
"That's right! That's what it looks like!"
Peter exchanged looks with Gale, Brandon and Miranda.
They each understood what the other meant.
This is not the first time they have seen this weird man in black robe!
In the Bloodfang Gang's secret room in Greenport, the two black-robed corpses had the same swirling pattern on them.
They found the first hexagonal gem from the altar in the secret room.
When we entered the Misty Valley, there was a crazy dwarf inside who also found a similar tattoo on his neck.
And they also found another exquisite hexagonal gem on the dwarf.
Peter confirmed: "Those two men in black robes you mentioned, the artifact they gave to your mother... shouldn't it look like a standard hexagonal gem?"
This time it was Nicole who was stunned: "How do you know?!"
Peter smacked his lips: "Sure enough."
These guys with the weird tattoos are clearly in the same group.
There are so many similarities that can be found in them!
Related to the evil god.
The whereabouts are secretive.
It even... seems to be inextricably linked to the Glow Divine Religion.
Moreover, based on past experience.
The first gem allowed them to find the Altar of Creation under the guidance of the God of Knowledge.
The second gem unlocked the true miraculous [Rebirth] magic.
What will the third stone bring?
No wonder the god of knowledge sent down an oracle.
Now there is another reason to stop the countess!
…
After learning about the people in black robes and the so-called "artifact".
"Time is running out. All heroes, please follow me to the meditation room immediately to stop my mother. I'm worried that if I delay it any longer, it will be too late!"
Nicole looked extremely anxious.
Although Peter was also anxious, he was not so anxious that he lost his mind.
"Wait a minute!"
"I heard Pet Twain say that you once told him that you had a way to stop the Countess."
"Whatever you plan to do, you must at least communicate with us first. Let's discuss the tactics on how to cooperate!"
No matter how anxious you are, rushing over like a headless fly is definitely the most unreliable option.
Don't forget.
The Countess of Ceylon is a noble and powerful fifth-level mage!
Just the old butler Winnex, who had the strength of a level 4 stalker, gave them a lot of trouble, reducing their number by more than 80%, and almost annihilating the group.
Now let them go against a level 5 professional?
And he is also a great mage with his back to the mage tower!
Peter has personally experienced the other party's "intensity".
If the attack falls on the opponent, it may not even be able to break through the defense.
How to fight this?
Nicole quickly gave the answer.
"My mother is addicted to weaving a new round of false phantom memories. Before she ends, it will be difficult to notice what is happening in the outside world!"
"What protects her are the various powerful illusions generated by that artifact."
"I will try my best to block most of the phantom attacks for you. Please find a way to come to mother and take away the artifact gem!"
Peter breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it's not the worst case scenario.
If they were to fight directly against a fifth-level archmage right now, they would probably die without knowing how.
No need to start a head-on battle.
All they had to do was get to the Countess and take the gem.
It certainly sounds like it can be done.
"What about the two men in black robes? Won't they stop our actions?"
Nicole shook her head slightly: "I don't know if they are still in the castle."
"Whenever they come to see their mother, they only stay briefly in the meditation room and leave quickly."
"If we're lucky, we won't encounter them."
"If you have bad luck, it depends on the heroes!"
…
It turns out.
Their luck was not very good.
After rescuing the weak Nicole, she led them all the way to the meditation room in the tower deep in the castle. Brandon opened the door and saw the two short black-robed figures immediately.
"How dare you come to our door? You should die!"
Without saying a word, Brandon picked up his sword and launched the [Charge] combat skill towards one of them!
When he learned of the existence of the man in black robe, Brandon was ready to carry out justice!
These guys seem to be either doing something bad or on the way to doing something bad.
Destroying them is undoubtedly what a heroic adventurer should do! A glorious deed worthy of being written down by future generations!
not to mention.
Brandon, a fifth-level archmage, knew he didn't have that ability and would definitely not be able to defeat him.
If he can't afford to offend the Countess of Ceylon, why can't he afford to offend these two little men in black robes in front of him!
He didn't feel any kind of dangerous intuitive warning from the opponent, which meant that this was definitely an enemy he could handle!
"Eat my heroic blow! Bastards!"
