Chapter 482 A world with undercurrents
After sharing the approximate location of the tapestry shop, Reina held her breath and continued to listen to the conversation between the two.
The effect of the illusion magic is not omnipotent.
All translations are based on her hearing clearly enough.
The two continued to chatter in dwarven language, completely unaware that there was an eavesdropper in the shop.
"Long time no see, how was your experience of traveling far away?"
"Don't mention it, it's terrible!"
"Everything was going well, worthy of the artifact brought by the envoy. The human countess didn't even realize that her thoughts were under our guidance, influence and control."
"In the end, a group of lunatics came out of nowhere, regardless of everything, and all the plans were messed up by them!"
"The transformation ceremony was interrupted at the last stage!"
"The precious records were ruined! The transformation heart was also forced to give up! Years of hard work were almost in vain!"
"I don't know when I will have a similar opportunity again!"
Reina felt her heart pounding.
What kind of luck is this?
I originally thought that I would have to find a way to get into the second floor to find the information corresponding to those black-robed dwarves according to the clan cards.
Unexpectedly, I found the real owner on the third floor.
What the other party said should be what happened not long ago in Ceylon Territory!
Then this young dwarf who was followed by Reina all the way must be one of the black-robed people who caused Ceylon's eternal night!
And he obviously knows more.
Just a few words of casual conversation, the amount of information revealed is already very huge.
For example - according to him, all the dangerous attempts made by the Countess of Ceylon for her deceased husband, and even the final desperate move, may not be out of her original intention.
Her mind was controlled by these dwarves? !
This is the first time Reina has heard of such a terrifying ability.
Add to that the string of information at the end.
If from the beginning, more than a decade ago, the Countess's initial attempt was guided and controlled by these dwarves.
That means that they purposefully, planned, and organizedly spent more than a decade to plan a conspiracy that enveloped the entire Ceylon Territory.
Because the final ending of this conspiracy, or the part of picking the fruits, was interrupted by the believers of seeking knowledge, and the table was directly overturned.
So Reina had no way of knowing what would happen to Ceylon if all their plans were realized.
But the eternal night sky phenomenon and the monsters everywhere in the precursor stage alone were already a huge danger and disaster.
What surprised Reina even more was that:
The dwarves in front of them were not even the real bosses, and there were so-called "envoys" behind them, guiding their actions.
This news made Reina's scalp numb.
It was simply a ghost.
Before believing in the God of Seeking Knowledge, the biggest danger she encountered in her ordinary life in Green Port was being harassed by a gang in the lower city, and her father's funds were not working, and he was owed a large sum of money.
At that time, the world was obviously very safe in Reina's cognition!
Although there were evil gods, monsters, and some cultists who were afraid of chaos in the world.
But there are also the God of Glory, the professionals, and the powerful and righteous Crusaders protecting people.
Now look back?
Reina blushed for her naive self at the beginning.
She was in a too low position and saw too little, so many things were blinded by other people's stories or stories she heard.
This world is obviously not safe at all!
There are huge dangers wherever you go!
The God of Glory is often unreliable;
The Crusaders often do not act in time;
Monsters are everywhere, and they can't be killed;
The conspiracy of the cultists is more dangerous than the other, and they can operate and weave quietly in the safe Kingdom of Reyak for more than ten years, brewing a huge conspiracy that will at least affect the entire earldom. Before the conspiracy finally exploded, no one even found any signs.
If it weren't for the guidance of the God of Knowledge, Reina would not dare to think about how this disaster would end.
Under the appearance of safety, there is an extremely fierce undercurrent surging.
…
I wanted to continue listening to the two dwarves’ casual conversation to see if they could reveal more useful information.
Unfortunately, the dwarf dressed as a shop assistant looked at the pocket watch on the table and reminded him:
“The time is up, the ceremony will start soon.”
“Hurry up and go in, don’t miss it, otherwise you will have to wait another week.”
The conversation between the two ended.
Reina noticed that the sinister young dwarf was walking behind the counter of the tapestry shop.
Then there was the sound of something being pulled open.
Then there was the sound of heavy footsteps on the stone steps.
Finally, there was the sound of something being closed.
“Secret door?” Reina subconsciously guessed, thinking of the secret room in the underground casino of Blood Roulette in Green Harbor.
After turning off the light curtain of the illusion magic and waiting for the nearby shadow energy to calm down, she concentrated again and entered the [Stealth] state.
Reina carefully touched the counter of the tapestry shop.
The dwarf dressed as a shop assistant was fiddling with a few purple broken gems in his hand, which were made of unknown materials.
There was no hidden mechanism as Reina had imagined.
On the ground behind the counter, there was an ordinary-looking wooden trap door.
There was not even a lock on it, only a copper handle for pulling when opening it.
Reina raised her eyebrows.
She did not act rashly, and carefully observed the bored dwarf clerk for a while while stealthily, and memorized his face and features.
Then she quietly stepped away from the counter, returned to the passage leading to the tapestry shop, and left the shop.
The clerk was obviously guarding the trapdoor.
Although Reina felt that she was sure that she could cut his throat and kill him instantly with a burst of a level 3 stealth before he could react.
But doing so would really alert the enemy.
A guard died inexplicably, as long as those black-robed people were not fools, they would quickly react and someone had discovered this place.
Reina had already observed it.
In addition to the trapdoor, there was no other open passage in this tapestry shop.
The only way to get in and out was through the cave passage.
She had enough patience.
According to what the two dwarves revealed in their casual conversation.
The vicious young dwarf came here to participate in a ceremony.
Normally, he would have to leave after the ceremony.
Since it was a ceremony, there should be more than one participant!
Maybe she could find more clues about the black-robed man!
However... the situation was not as smooth as Reina imagined.
Even after Pete and others came to join her carefully, Reina still didn't see anyone leave this hidden tapestry shop!

There will be 2 more chapters in the evening, Guozi will have a meal
