Chapter 313: Storms Gather
In the hazy gray fog, the woman was like a blooming purple flower. The chaotic magic devoured the gray fog. The gray fog knight howled angrily, but could do nothing to her.
Princess Katie chuckled, and the purple magic carried the gray fog and turned into pillars one after another and flew to the hall.
Under Chu Ming's gaze, the knights, including Pedro, took a step forward and took the initiative to absorb the magic mixed with gray fog. Strange purple patterns flashed on their bodies, and the blasphemous breath distorted the entire hall.
"I didn't expect Pedro to be a blasphemous believer."
Chu Ming's face turned ugly, which meant that this guy knew Princess Katie's identity from the beginning.
He cursed in his heart: "This old thing has no good intentions."
"Sister, what are they doing?"
Lu Teng lay on Chu Ming's shoulder and asked in a low voice.
Lu Hu said uncertainly: "Absorbing the power of gray fog?"
"Gray fog power plus blasphemous power..."
Chu Ming couldn't help but think about it.
"Princess Katie is a blasphemous evil, a human being influenced by the blasphemous witch's consciousness and thoughts. She is not necessarily a believer of the blasphemous witch, and there is no taboo for her to actively contact other evil gods."
"It's just that things seem to have become more troublesome..."
At first, Chu Ming thought that there were only gray fog roots hidden in the royal city, but he didn't expect Princess Katie to be there.
The fact that they were able to return to the royal city again without telling the royal family is enough to show how terrible their infiltration in the royal city is. Even the Holy Knight Temple has hidden underground passages leading to the gathering place of blasphemous believers.
"One, two, three..."
Chu Ming held his breath and counted the legends present.
"Twelve?!"
Not counting some blasphemous legends who did not enter the underground settlement because of something, the number of blasphemous legends here has reached an astonishing level.
You should know that in some big families in the Clinton Kingdom, there is not even one legend. Blasphemy can actually rely on infiltration to make the royal legend degenerate into a blasphemous believer.
"Lord Ryan, what should we do?"
Lu Hu's face was full of worry. This situation was obviously different from what she had thought before. She originally thought that she could solve the gray fog monster directly after finding it, but she didn't expect that the gray fog monster would be imprisoned by a group of evil god believers.
If Chu Ming hadn't persuaded them to investigate the situation before taking action, they might have collided with these blasphemous believers directly, and they would have been seriously injured if not killed.
Chu Ming stretched out his right hand and stopped in mid-air, "Calm down, we are just here to investigate intelligence this time, not the real body."
"As for how to solve these believers, we will talk about it when we go back. Now, let's observe what they are doing."
"The blasphemous believers took great pains to imprison the gray fog roots in the royal city. The purpose should not be as simple as eroding the power of the gray fog."
Lu Hu and Lu Teng sat on Chu Ming's left and right shoulders, looked at each other in the air, and nodded.
"Lord Ryan, I will observe carefully."
In the hall, Chu Ming controlled the black bee to bypass the flying gray fog and chaotic magic power, and hid in the cracks of the dark rocks.
The reason why they didn't attract the attention of these blasphemous believers now was not because of how good their disguise was.
It was simply because these guys had never seen fairy magic. Even if someone noticed the existence of the black bee, they would only think that it was brought in from the ground by a believer, and would not think about anything else.
Chu Ming and the other two continued to observe in the dark for more than ten minutes before this blasphemous feast ended.
At this time, the Gray Mist Knight's breath was sluggish, and his figure shrank from hundreds of meters to tens of meters.
Chu Ming could clearly sense that although Pedro and others' strength had not been improved, the breath on their bodies had become more and more strange.
Under the pit, the purple light paved a path to the hall like a ribbon, and Princess Katie slowly floated up with a faint smile.
Chu Ming's eyes were fixed on the woman, the woman's long skirt ribbon fluttered, and her white porcelain-like skin glowed with a faint fluorescence, like a legendary messenger of God.
If it weren't for the chaotic magic lingering around her body, he wouldn't even be able to tell that this elegant and noble princess was a blasphemous evil.
"Pedro has a good eye. Princess Katie is really good-looking."
Chu Ming thought to himself, and his eyes moved and fell on Pedro and other legends.
He pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the conversation that was about to begin.
"Your Highness."
Pedro and others bent down to welcome Princess Katie to the hall.
The woman smiled faintly, and her elegant appearance made people completely unable to imagine that she was related to the evil god.
She spoke softly, and her beautiful and pleasant voice echoed in everyone's hearts.
"Fourteen days later, the blood sacrifice will continue. This time no one can stop my action."
Pedro lost his usual calmness and showed a fanatical expression.
"The day of the blood sacrifice is when your highness ascends to the gods."
"What?!"
Lv Teng covered his mouth with both hands, his face full of shock.
Even Chu Ming was a little surprised.
Originally, he thought that the blasphemous believers sacrificed blood in the royal city to please the blasphemous witch, but he didn't expect... it was actually to help Princess Katie get rid of the influence of the blasphemous witch and become a new god...
Thinking of this, Chu Ming had some doubts in his heart.
"Is it really that easy to become a new god?"
"Since Princess Katie's purpose from beginning to end was for blood sacrifice, why did she join Pedro to leave the royal city and go to the city of Sauron on the pretext of marriage?"
He thought quietly, his eyes always on the hall.
The woman laughed at Pedro's words and said, "Pedro, blood sacrifice in the royal city is just the first step. The entire Clinton Kingdom cannot escape my palm."
Pedro said carefully, "The old guys in the royal family have made moves again recently. In order to ensure the success of the blood sacrifice, should I..."
Speaking of the royal family, Katie's face became cold.
"If the gray fog hadn't suddenly appeared and we left the royal city, the grandfathers should have let down their guard against me."
The woman played with her nails and said regretfully: "It's a pity that I haven't met the fiancé of Sauron City yet."
"This woman has a fiancé?"
Green Vine showed a suspicious look on her face.
"Her fiancé must be a very bad person."
Green Lake nodded in agreement, "Sister is right, he is definitely a bad person."
"Ahem..." Chu Ming looked a little embarrassed, "Actually, the fiancé she was talking about is me."
Green Lake and Green Vine looked at Chu Ming, and the air became quiet for a while.
Green Lake said unnaturally: "Then... then it doesn't count."
Green Vine lowered her head and muttered: "It doesn't count, it doesn't count."
Chu Ming shook his head helplessly, ignored the two, and listened carefully to the conversation in the hall.
Hearing Katie mention Chu Ming, Pedro said with regret: "Ryan is the most talented knight I have ever seen. If he can become your highness's right-hand man, we will have less trouble in the future."
"What a pity."
Chu Ming's mouth twitched.
This old guy really won't stop until he pushes him into the fire pit.
Princess Katie walked into the crowd, passed Pedro, and smiled without looking back: "He is just a little man, just marry him by force later."
"The royal family is no longer a threat, let them come."
"Pedro, clean up the flies."
The woman said and left the hall.
"Yes."
Pedro looked calm, the purple lines on his body flashed with enchanting light, and the chaotic aura spread around.
"They found it?!"
Chu Ming was shocked and was about to control the black bee to fly away from the crack in the rock, but he didn't expect that the chaotic aura arrived first and instantly eroded the entire black bee.
"Not good..."
Lu Teng exclaimed in a low voice, the spell was out of her control, and the black bee flew straight into Pedro's palm.
The man looked down at the black bee in his palm and said lightly: "The Clinton royal family is corrupt and incompetent. Today's status is only created by the sacred covenant. Your comfortable days will end here."
His palm covered the sky and crushed the black bee.
...
In the grove outside the royal city.
Chu Ming and Lu Hu slowly opened their eyes and came back to their senses.
Lu Teng's voice sounded from Lu Hu's body. She said in a strange tone: "What did the man say just now?"
Chu Ming was also surprised, "He seemed to think we were members of the royal family."
Lu Teng said dissatisfiedly: "Damn it, I recognized the wrong person, I will not forgive them."
"Lu Teng, Lord Ryan, this is not the point."
Lu Hu said nervously: "These bad guys want to sacrifice the whole city with blood."
Chu Ming lowered his head to think.
"Fourteen days later..."
He looked up at Green Lake, "We still have time, let's go back first, I'll go discuss it with the elders."
Green Lake nodded, waved the green light to wrap Chu Ming, and the two fled to the City of Sauron at a very fast speed.
Half an hour later.
In the guild courtyard.
The green light condensed, and the figures of Chu Ming and Green Lake appeared.
"Huh, I'm dying of suffocation."
With a "pop", Green Lake's body scattered light, and green vines flew out from it.
Before Chu Ming spoke, a call drew his attention.
"Ryan, why did you suddenly appear here?"
"Irina told me that you were away from home, and what is the thing next to you?"
Krono was stunned in the corridor, looking at Chu Ming and the two fairies next to him.
Behind the man, Elena also looked over with interest.
Chu Ming coughed lightly and said, "It's a long story. Aren't you going to train? Why are you standing here like an idiot?"
"Huh?"
Krono scratched his head, a puzzled expression on his face. When did he say he was going to train?
He pointed at the two fairies next to Chu Ming and was about to ask more questions when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his ears.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts... Old witch, what are you doing!"
Elena chuckled and said, "I'll take you to training."
After the woman finished speaking, she led Krono out.
"Finally left."
Chu Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it was okay to tell Krono the identities of Green Lake and Green Vine Fairy, this guy was notoriously loose-lipped.
The identities of the fairies could not be revealed yet, or it might cause unnecessary trouble for Green Lake and the others.
Green Lake also realized this and thanked Chu Ming, "Thank you, Lord Ryan."
Chu Ming waved his hand, "You go find Irina, she should have finished cleaning and is free now."
"I'm leaving the guild for a while, Irina will take care of you."
After Green Lake and the other person merged, Chu Ming called the maid and took them to find Irina.
And he returned to the room alone.
Chu Ming sat down on the chair and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Gray Mist Roots, Royal Family, Princess Katie, Blood Sacrifice..."
"With the current strength of Green Lake, Green Vine and I, it is difficult to participate in it. We need the help of the family."
He held the silver-white family emblem on the necklace, and the silver light poured out from the gaps between his fingers, wrapping him up.
...
Underground Chamber.
Chu Ming appeared in the teleportation hall.
Looking at the hall that was bustling with people coming and going as usual, he didn't want to stay. After hurriedly greeting the knights, he walked through the forest corridor and came to the fork entrance.
Walking down the green vine stairs, the purple flowers exuded a faint fragrance, which relieved Chu Ming's nervous mood.
A few minutes later, he came to the ancient door leading to other levels of the underground chamber for the second time.
"I hope the Brick family can seize this opportunity."
Chu Ming took a deep breath and knocked on the door gently.
After a while, an old voice sounded from behind the door.
"Ryan, why are you here?"
Hearing the familiar voice of the old man, Chu Ming felt much more at ease.
He sorted out his thoughts and said, "Elder, I'm here for the survival of the family."
"Hehe..."
The old man laughed kindly.
"Tell me what is related to the survival of the family."
Chu Ming carefully answered, "Evil God."
It was suddenly quiet behind the door, and after a long while, the old man spoke.
"The two evil gods' followers in the suburbs of Sauron City have already left. What else can threaten us?" Chu Ming said solemnly: "In fact, Princess Katie just left Sauron City. After the war, she returned to the royal city and planned to launch a blood sacrifice in fourteen days to obtain the qualification to ascend to the gods." The old man was silent for a while, "How did you get this information?" Chu Ming said the excuse he had prepared long ago, "I once knew a legendary wizard when I was in the Violet Principality." "A few days ago, she came to visit me in Sauron City and told me that she found the traces of the evil gods." "So I went to the royal city with the wizard lady, and I found..." He told the old man a series of events he saw in the royal city. "Hmm..." The person behind the door fell into deep thought. After a long while, the old man spoke: "The legendary aura of the mercenary guild has been confirmed."
"Come in, Ryan."
"The second floor of the secret room will be opened for you."
As the old man finished speaking, the ancient door lit up with gorgeous patterns, and the green vines grew rapidly, climbed up the door, and slowly opened the door.
The light flashed, and Chu Ming looked inside. Unlike the corridor behind the door last time, the scenery behind the door this time changed to a slightly messy meeting room.
In the corner of the meeting room, waste documents were piled up like garbage, and the chairs were crooked, as if someone had just finished a meeting inside and had not had time to clean up.
Chu Ming's face was a little surprised. He thought that the mysterious underground second floor, where the elders lived, should be very high-end.
"Come in."
An old man with sparse white hair and a cane appeared in front of Chu Ming.
Chu Ming was stunned and nodded: "Yes, elder."
