Chapter 2324: A Strange Mistake

"Have you found any clues?" Frode asked hurriedly, "Have you found out who they are offering sacrifices to?"

According to what Frode learned from Little Sam, the sacrifices at that time were not only made by farmers, but also by many dignitaries in the town.

This is a typical collective sacrifice event, and the tribute sacrifices are mainly human, full of primitive style. Similar situations have been recorded in the history of the wizard world. There is a high probability that the object of sacrifice is an evil god from another world, and the name of sacrifice is used to deepen the connection with the wizard world, and then enter the wizard world.

This situation is very common in the primitive tribes of Feilan Continent, so every once in a while, wizard organizations in various places will send tasks to let their subordinates go to the primitive tribes of Feilan Continent to eliminate such sacrifices.

Drew shook his head: "We don't know who they are sacrificing to yet."

Frode frowned slightly: "Then what clues did you find...?"

Drew looked slightly embarrassed: "We still can't confirm whether the clues found by the Knights are related to the collective sacrifice incident, but according to some speculations, there may be some connection between the two that we haven't discovered yet."

"Huh, what do you mean?"

Drew stroked his reading glasses and motioned Frode to enter the castle first.

While walking into the Star Lake Castle, Drew also told about the clues found by the Royal Knights in the Dawn Town of the Silver Cloud Principality.

Drew's narration was clear and Frode quickly understood the general situation.

The story starts with the Knights' investigation of the farmer's sacrifice.

Because the Silver Cloud Principality is a vassal state of the Central Empire, the Knights of the Silver Heron Royal Family can also obtain a high status in the Silver Cloud Principality and have special law enforcement powers. Therefore, the Knights went to investigate the farmer's sacrifice and directly used their status to suppress people, and soon found out all the dignitaries who participated in the sacrifice incident in the Dawn Town.

But unfortunately, the Knights did not find too many clues in the hands of these people. Their sacrifice seemed to come out of thin air, and they knew nothing when asked.

The Knights speculated that it might be that the powerful outsiders used a similar ability to interfere with memory. If they wanted to dig out clues, they would probably need a formal wizard to go out.

So, the Knights reported this information to Neia first.

Because the matter of sacrificing to the evil gods of other worlds can be big or small, some evil gods of other worlds are purely curious, and some evil gods of other worlds are full of malice towards the wizard world, but no matter whether this sacrifice incident is big or small, Neia still gave feedback to the Hurricane Tower as soon as possible, hoping that the Hurricane Tower can send a formal wizard over.

Whether the formal wizard will come and when he will come, the Knights are not sure for the time being, so they want to take this opportunity to continue to dig out some secrets of Dawn Town to see if they can find other clues.

However, after checking the powerful families and the industries related to these families, basically no problems were found. Many members of the powerful families did not even know that there were people in their families who participated in the evil god sacrifice.

At a loss of what to do, a knight suggested that they might as well check the slave market.

Since there is a sacrifice, there must be tribute, that is, living people.

So many dignitaries participated in the sacrifice, and there were actually very few people like Little Sam. Most of the dignitaries did not want to make a big deal, so the tributes offered by these dignitaries in Dawn Town were all bought from the slave market.

As for using servants as tribute, the dignitaries were unwilling to do so. Because the servants of the nobles also have skills and are trained in etiquette.

The servants who have been cultivated with a lot of resources are used for sacrifice? They are full. They are not powerful nobles in the principality. It is also very time-consuming to train a qualified servant.

The people of the Knights thought that they might find something by checking the slave market, so they agreed.

In the next few days, the Knights conducted a full-scale investigation of the slave market in Dawn Town, and finally found some secret clues.

However, the direction of this clue was not clearly pointed to the dignitaries in Dawn Town.

Because this clue happened thirteen years ago.

The reason why even the things that happened thirteen years ago were dug out is mainly because this matter is related to the "supernatural event".

According to a staff member of the slave market, thirteen years ago, many slave ships sailed into the nearby Dawn Port from the open sea, about ten ships in total.

At that time, people also went to the slave market in Dawn Town, wanting to get some high-quality slaves. Overseas slaves are generally more expensive than local ones, and there are some humanoid slaves overseas that can cater to some dignitaries with abnormal fetishes, so the price is even more expensive.

They really found a lot of very good slaves, but they only got very few slaves, and most of the slaves were bought by another buyer.

And this buyer is the person pointed out by the clue.

This buyer is very strange. He spends money very generously. He also offers a very high price for many worthless slaves. It is precisely because of this that the cargo merchants of the slave ships are willing to sell slaves to him instead of the slave market in Dawn Town.

Because they were intercepted, the staff of the slave market were very angry and paid more attention to this buyer.

Then they found a strange place. The buyer's rules for selecting slaves were very strange.

He didn't look at the slaves' talents, beauty or precious status, but... body shape and height.

The slaves he bought were basically in the same height range. He didn't want slaves who were too short or too tall. Even if these slaves were more valuable, he would not even look at them.

The staff member who discovered this secret became more active and immediately began to think. There are also many slaves of this height range in their slave market, and many of them are still unsalable. If they can sell them to this person... it seems not bad?

Later, through contact, the other party was really willing to buy.

During the transaction process, the staff further contacted the other party. At that time, they did not feel strange, but just thought that the other party had some special height fetish.

But once, when a staff member sent the slaves to the other party's temporary residence, he found that all the slaves sent before were gone. Obviously, they did not see the other party leave, and the disappearance of a large number of slaves would definitely find traces, but everything was gone.

Moreover, the staff member also saw a strange symbol in the other party's home...

"Symbol?" Frode: "What symbol?"

Drew shook his head: "I don't know, the staff member forgot."

Frode frowned. So far, he has not heard any useful value from the story told by Drew, and there is no clue about the so-called "extraordinary place". What is the point of Drew telling this story?

When Freud was puzzled, Drew continued: "The symbol is very strange. The reason why the staff member forgot it was not because he forgot it on his own initiative, but because his memory was interfered with."

"Oh?"

"According to the staff member, he thought that the symbol might have some meaning, and perhaps he could find out the identity of the buyer, so he wanted to force himself to remember it at that time, and then go back and check it slowly."

"But the symbol itself is not complicated. However, every time he thinks he has remembered it, he closes his eyes and thinks about it, and the memory of the symbol disappears."

"It seems that the symbol has some mysterious power that cannot be remembered in people's minds."

When Drew said this, Freud felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity: a symbol that cannot be remembered, isn't it very similar to that...

"Does he have no memory of the symbol at all?" Freud asked.

Drew thought for a while: "It's not entirely true. According to him, he can remember the framework outside the symbol, but he can't remember the symbol inside the framework at all."

Frame? Frode's eyes lit up, and he asked hurriedly: "What does this framework look like?"

Drew: "A concentric circle, and it seems there is also a hexagon."

Frode was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly turned his head: "Do you have paper and pen?"

Drew nodded, and took out the pen and a small notebook he carried with him with some doubts.

The name of the notebook is "Drew's Notebook", which is Drew's record of extraordinary power and experience. There are countless small words written in it, but Frode has no interest at all. He skipped it directly and turned to a blank page. He took the pen and quickly drew a symbol on it.

But I saw that the symbol drawn by Frode was concentric circles outside, and inside the concentric circles was a standard ritual hexagon.

Frode asked: "Is the framework of that symbol like this?"

Drew looked at it and nodded: "Yes."

Frode seemed to understand something when he heard this answer, and he let out a long breath.

Drew asked curiously, "Does Master Tisen know this symbol?"

Although it happened thirteen years ago, this symbol is related to extraordinary power and is very likely related to the collective sacrifice incident, so Drew is also very curious about the situation of the symbol. If the Hurricane Tower sends a formal wizard to investigate, he can also provide corresponding clues to the upper level.

Frode nodded: "I have seen similar symbols, but this symbol, I think it should have nothing to do with the collective sacrifice incident. The buyer is probably not related to the sacrifice of the farmer and others later."

"What is the basis for Master Tisen's judgment?" Drew asked doubtfully, "Is it because the incident happened too long ago?"

Frode shook his head: "No, this symbol is related to the Quest World if nothing unexpected happens. And the reason why the staff member you mentioned can't remember the symbol is because it contains the password shackles of the Quest World."

Quest World!

Although Drew is only an apprentice, he has been floating in the wizard world for decades and knows some things about the Quest World.

This is the plane of the soul!

He is in a dimension that cannot be explored by the material world and has existed since ancient times.

At present, only three extremely powerful soul families can enter the Quest world, or contact the Quest world, in the South Region.

The sacrifices of the farmers and the dignitaries of Dawn Town are just small fights. Such primitive human sacrifices can only contact the wild gods of the other planes at most, and cannot contact the dimension of the Quest world that has existed for a long time.

At this time, Drew finally understood why Frode was sure that this matter had nothing to do with collective sacrifice, because the level was too different.

"So, the buyer who has that symbol is the wizard of the three soul families?" Drew guessed.

Frode did not respond, and it is likely that Drew's guess is wrong.

This buyer bought a large number of slaves of similar size and height, and had the symbol of the Quest world, and it happened more than ten years ago... This is similar to the altar in the cave!

There are 360 ​​small caves in the cave, and there is a skeleton sitting in each cave, and these skeletons are all humans of similar size and height.

This is the ritual of sacrifice, and the ritual requires a strict standard. The height range is an important condition for sacrifice.

On the altar of the cave, there is also a symbol that cannot be remembered by memory. The outer frame of this symbol is also concentric circles and hexagons.

With so many coincidences, Frode is basically sure that the clues found by the Knights this time have nothing to do with the sacrifice of the farmer, but... are closely related to the sacrifice of the cave!

Frode narrowed his eyes: I didn't expect that I would find the clues of the cave by accident.

You know, in Frode's view, the sacrifice of the farmer is not worth mentioning, and the sacrifice to the Quest world in the cave is more important.

While Frode was thinking, Drew was still sighing: "However, it has been thirteen years. Even if the buyer is really from the Soul Family, he is probably gone now."

Frode replied: "Yes, so this clue can be ignored for now."

Drew nodded: "I thought this was an important clue, oh, forget it..."

Frode: "The most important thing now is the ghost of the farmer."

Frode took the initiative to turn the topic back to the ghost of the farmer, and Drew was unaware. In his opinion, the ghost of the farmer is indeed more important than this illusory topic: "Yes."

"The ghost of the farmer is already at the foot of the mountain, and Lady Nea is on the way... Do we need to make some arrangements?" Drew: "Or, do we move little Sam?"

Frode shook his head: "No matter where little Sam is moved, the ghost of the farmer will come."

Little Sam's physique is destined to be "favored" by the undead throughout his life.

So, hiding is impossible, so it is better to solve it as soon as possible.

"It's a bit strange that the ghost of the farmer didn't go up the mountain rashly. I suspect that he might be a special undead." Frode said.

"If it's a special undead, it's a bit bad." Drew showed a worried look. Ordinary undead are actually not easy to deal with. Even for Lady Nea, it is difficult to completely eliminate the undead, unless there are special means to deal with the undead. However, such means are generally soul-related. Other departments can only learn cross-border practice...

Even ordinary undead are difficult to deal with, if it is a special undead, it will be even more difficult to deal with.

Frode doesn't care about this, because the prelude of reincarnation is in his hand. Even if it is a special undead, it will only take one or two shots.

What he cares about is, if the other party is a special undead, what kind of special ability will it have?
