Chapter 1060 Gathering in the Underground Church

click.

As the hour hand on the dial accurately pointed to ten o'clock, space distortions emerged from the cemetery, colliding with chaotic waves of magic power.

These wizards and wizards who appeared in the cemetery late at night did not speak after they appeared-they didn't even know each other.

Among those wizards, only a few seemed to have spotted one or two slightly familiar figures from the surrounding crowd. But because most of the people chose to dress with their heads covered, no one confirmed the identities of the others for a while.

This is natural, after all, today is not a gathering among friends.

In the woods outside the cemetery, Maca lightly closed the cover of his pocket watch, then nodded slightly to the windbreaker wizard standing in the shadow opposite.

Immediately afterwards, he tugged the gray cloth cloak that was on the outside, and then put on the hood that hung down his back.

While people in the cemetery were apparating one after another, Maca quietly appeared in the crowd without attracting anyone's attention.

As for the wizard in the windbreaker, since only one letter was intercepted, she obviously couldn't mix into the crowd of people attending the rally like Maca.

Therefore, whether to follow invisibly or not depends on her own decision.

Just as Maca sensed the fluctuations of magic power around him and wanted to see if the other party was by his side, another figure suddenly appeared in front of a tombstone not far from here.

The man was wearing a gray-black wizard robe, and the slightly baggy robe covered his figure so that people couldn't tell whether he was fat or thin. However, he did not cover his face like the wizards around Maca did, instead he brazenly exposed his face to everyone's sight.

And because of this,

Maca didn't even need to analyze and identify the fluctuation of magic power, he just knew the identity of the other party at a glance. There is no doubt that it is the boss Ted who had a good chat with him at the Hanged Man Bar last time.

"First of all, I would like to congratulate everyone who received the letter," said Ted in front of him after roughly seeing the number of people present, "I was able to successfully prepare the potion, and tempered my strength with blood and soul." Humans will have more powerful potential than in the past... Presumably, everyone has already had a preliminary understanding of this, right?"

In Ted's words, all the wizards and wizards around Maca looked around, as if they didn't realize until now that other people are actually the same as themselves.

They harvested a list of black magic rituals from different channels, and then, with excitement or apprehension, they committed crimes step by step.

Apparently, that black magic ritual required a string of pretty brutal murders, judging by the parchment Maca got from the witch Higgs. In other words, everyone Maca saw here had a lot of blood on their hands.

And according to what Ted said just now, there must be many more wizards who first obtained the black magic ritual!

While Maca was thinking secretly, he heard Ted in front continue:

"Of course, this is not a good place to talk... Please come in, everyone! I think we can go to the real meeting place first, and then discuss today's topic!"

Before he finished speaking, Ted pulled out his wand and waved it, and the tombstone next to him moved back, revealing a stone staircase going down.

Maca didn't show any surprise, he just followed Zhou people's footsteps and walked with everyone to the tunnel under the tomb.

This is a rather deep descending tunnel. The long stairs seem to have no end. The further you go down, the darker it becomes.

Maca thought for a while, but he didn't use the wand luminous spell like the others, he just walked down step by step with the light of others.

The sound of chaotic footsteps layered upon layer in this deep descending passage, covering up the hollow echo.

About fifteen minutes later, a group of dozens of people, led by Ted at the front, finally reached the end of this passage.

At the moment when the field of vision widened in an instant, Ted waved his wand again, and the dim yellow light brought by the torches gradually revealed the slightly empty hall room.

From the looks of it, this seems to be an underground church.

The typical Gothic style and slightly broken wall bricks show the age when it was built; the slightly worn prayer benches tell of its former glory.

Of course, let's not mention Ted's relationship with this church. To speak of such underground churches one has to think of other religions that have developed throughout Europe in the past.

These sects are naturally not the mainstream, but they have each had their rise and fall. It is believed that this special church located under the cemetery must have a history of rise and fall that belongs only to it.

Finally, Maca moved his eyes to the deepest part of the church—right behind the chanting platform, a statue of a god holding a leafy branch and wearing a hooded cloak told Maca the original ownership of the church .

It was originally a Druid church that advocated nature.

Before Christianity came to England, ancient Druidism was the largest religion in the land.

Since the founding of Druidism was originally a relationship between wizards, its fundamental idea is not to worship gods, but to respect nature. In ancient Britain, there were a large number of believers, including wizards and Muggles.

Thinking back to that period, Druidism even had the right to rival the king.

However, no matter how powerful a religion is, there will be times when it declines. Now, it has become a thing of the past after all... I don’t know if Ted’s choice of this church actually has some unknown connection.

Just when Maca, like everyone else, was looking at the church and secretly guessing in his heart, Ted had already walked alone to the podium on the high platform in the depths.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Please pay attention!"

He heard the other party cough lightly first, then raised his hands and said:

"I believe that everyone will have some doubts after receiving the letter I sent. Because before that, we seem to have no contact at all... and the reason why everyone came to this rally is only because of that The handwriting of the ancient magic ritual is exactly the same as the handwriting I used in the letter."

With just these two sentences, he attracted everyone's attention.

That's right, almost everyone is very confused about the original intention of this rally right now. To be precise, they actually didn't know what the person who wrote the letter called him to do.

However, although Ted's intentions were not clear, the wizards who came to the gathering all had a common purpose.

That is, they wanted more about that magical ritual.

After actually performing the black magic ritual, every wizard who benefited from it had an unprecedented experience, and at the same time felt a feeling of unfinished business. And then they vaguely discovered that there might be a follow-up to this ceremony!

But now, how can these people who have already experienced the growth of strength resist a greater temptation?

"...so," Ted continued after a short pause, "I'm here to tell you a piece of good news clearly—yes, this ancient magic ritual given to us by a powerful wizard , there is indeed a next step!"

Before the words were finished, the wizards who had been silent all this time finally couldn't help but groaned and whispered one after another.

Even Maca could hear it, and the many breathing sounds in the ears suddenly became rapid.

"Not only do so many people believe in such a reckless black magic ritual, but they also have the courage to try it... It seems that the chaos in the magic world has been far away since the previous war period. Calm down!"

Maca felt the many "voices of desire" around her, and couldn't help shaking her head secretly.

To be honest, since the last goblin rebellion, the entire European magic world has not been too terrible and chaotic.

The life of wizards has become easier, the social operation and education of the magic world are also thriving, and the older generation of wizards who have experienced many wars are gradually being replaced by the next generation.

However, in this period that calmed down with the passing of the war, the rise of two generations of Dark Lords disrupted the rhythm of restoring peace in the magic world.

Originally, Maca felt that the actions of Voldemort and Greenwald might not have affected the foundation of the entire wizarding world. But now judging from these people, things are probably not as simple as they appear on the surface.

As for Hai Erbo, who is currently making troubles, he is just riding the waves of the past. The impact of his behavior may not be gradually reflected until the future.

Of course, it's too early to say these things now, the premise is that the wizards like Maca can at least stick to the situation in front of them.

"boom!"

All of a sudden, Ted slapped the chanting platform with his backhand, and then he said again:

"Everyone, just be quiet."

This sudden muffled sound made all the people in the room stop their excited emotions because of the confirmation of their conjecture, and looked towards the stage with slightly frowned eyes.

To be honest, they were all a little displeased with Ted's slap-you guy, we are here to this rally to save face, why shoot?

But as soon as Ted's next sentence came out, the wizards in the church suppressed their unhappiness.

"I have to remind everyone first," Ted said leisurely, "the next steps of the magic ceremony are in my hands... and everyone must understand that if you want to obtain such a good thing, you will naturally have to pay a corresponding price. "

The next moment, the entire underground church returned to its original silence.
