Chapter 999 Going South

Tuesday morning.

Xifa left the city of Kukwa, took Katerina, and went all the way south as a wanderer.

Go deep into the Southern Continent.

Go to Star Plateau.

Abydos is in the depths of the star plateau.

He had obtained information about the city from 'Black Sails', but Xifa still felt that it was necessary for him to go there himself.

Only in this way can relevant intelligence and data be obtained before launching a war.

He used the "Traveler with a Thousand Faces" to change his appearance, turning himself into an ordinary southerner.

As for Katerina, she was still the same.

In order to avoid drawing too much attention to her appearance, Sifer asked her to pull a white scarf over her face, revealing only her eyes.

Even so, always wear a hood.

Otherwise, even with just a pair of eyes, Katerina can fascinate men.

Go south with Xifa.

He discovers that he is not alone.

On the Kingdom Road opened up by the Balam Empire in the past, there were not many travelers going south like him.

By communication or observation on the way.

Xifa knew that these people were the natives of the colony, and had to leave the cities that had been reduced to the front line because of the war.

Most of them were headed to a small town called 'Orphace'.

That small town is on the edge of the Xingxing Plateau. It is not small and prosperous.

There are rich timber, minerals, and animal skins and other special products, which are often transported to Kukva or Valtec.

Sifa knew better.

In the information of ‘Black Sail’.

The small town of Alphace is the 'outpost' of Abydos City, and it is an important connection point to other cities in the Southern Continent.

If you want to attack the city of Abydos in the future.

The small town of Alfasse is the first target that must be taken.

So Xifa also followed the crowd to this small town.

Three days have passed.

Miss Sharon and her teacher did not turn to Sifa for help.

Xifa guessed that they should think that their own strength is enough to accomplish what they want to do.

Therefore, I did not make a request to myself.

Xifa didn't care either.

fair enough.

He can focus on doing his own thing.

On the evening of the day when we came to Orphace, Sifa made the weather change suddenly, and it rained heavily.

This made the wanderers quicken their pace while cursing the damn weather.

Sifa and Katerina mixed in the crowd and entered Orphasa smoothly in a slightly chaotic situation.

Although the scale here is not as large as Kukwa City or Valtec City.

But there are also more than 300 families with a population of more than 1,000.

The roads in the town are not paved with concrete, so they get wet and muddy when it rains.

However, there are numerous shops, inns, blacksmiths and workshops here.

Strong commercial atmosphere.

Business travelers can basically find all kinds of supplies here.

Because of the heavy rain, Xifa had no motivation to act, so he found a hotel to stay.

Of course, he could stop the rain in no time.

But he didn't.

Because that would make people suspicious.

As a small town under the control of the 'Rose School of Thought', Xifa would not believe it if there were no members of the 'Rose School of Thought' in the town.

There may even be demigods.

After all, this town is the eyes and window of Abydos, and also the "gate" to the Star Plateau.

Geographical location is very important.

When he came to the 'Forest Elk' hotel, Xifa found that there were not many people staying there.

This is normal.

Although there are many outsiders today, most of them are wanderers without wealth.

There are very few people like Xifa who can spend money on lodging.

Check in and put your luggage away.

After resting for a while, Xifa took Katerina to the restaurant on the first floor for dinner.

Because of the war.

Alfasse has also been affected, with limited food stocks and restaurants serving only certain foods.

Food portions are also limited.

The two of Xifa only got a tonkatsu with fruit juice, and a glass of juice drink mixed with various fruits.

fine.

The food is reasonably good.

The pork chops are fried tender and juicy, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, with a strong aroma. And the fruit sauce on top has the slight sourness of apples and the sweetness of other melons and fruits, which dilute the greasyness of the steak.

That glass of juice drink is also delicious, except that there are a lot of fruit residues, which affect the taste, there is no major problem.

After dinner, the rain stopped, and Xifa used the 'mirror illusion' to project a figure whose power was not far from his own.

start to act.

His main purpose is to find out the staffing of the 'Rose School of Thought' in this small town, as well as the town's defensive strength.

These data will provide important reference for future wars.

Soon Xifa discovered that there was a building in the town that was different from others, and this building was elegantly built.

But in style, it is slightly darker.

Of course, this dark style is not easy to detect.

It manifests itself in the pained expressions on the faces of some of the decorative statues of the building.

Or some inconspicuous but bloody-themed decorations in some corners.

The figure projected by Xifa let a little 'mist' cover itself, thus possessing the concept of 'fuzzy'.

His own sense of existence becomes weak, and it will not touch the true sense of inspiration of high-sequence Beyonders.

Reach another level of 'invisibility'.

As soon as he entered the building, Xifa sensed some breath.

Following these breaths, he found a staircase leading to the underground area, and the end of the staircase was blocked by a heavy door.

But the keyhole on the gate provided him with a 'passage'.

Xifa's projection changed into an invisible wind, which got in through the keyhole and came to the back of the door.

Behind the door is a passage with an open door at the end.

The lights inside the door flickered, and a faint human voice came out.

Xifa maintained a state of breeze, and gently 'blown' into the gate.

I saw that there was a hall inside the door, with an altar in the middle, on which were placed various organs, human heads, and limbs.

Blood smeared the surface of the altar, forming a thick layer of plasma.

There are candles one after another placed around the altar.

The bases of those candles were all bones, all skulls.

There are humans and animals in it.

Twelve men in black cloaks and hoods.

Holding hands, around the altar, they are constantly chanting something.

Seeing this picture, Xifa couldn't help sighing.

The indulgence of the 'Rose School of thought' is really bloody.

What they did was not much better than the devils of the 'Blood Worship Cult'.

Both are villains who can be eliminated with their eyes closed.

But now is not the time.

Sifa turned into a breeze, flowing gently on the roof without attracting attention.

After a while.

Worship stopped.

One of the men in black lifted his hood, revealing an older face.

His hair was dry, yellow and gray, his left eye was blind, and the remaining brown eye was filled with malice visible to the naked eye.

"A lot of 'sacrifices' poured in today."

"As usual, after three days, let them 'disappear' naturally."

"Then we can hold a grand sacrifice."

"That will surely gain the attention of the gods!"
