Chapter 302 Hunting Horn
The "chief" woke up from a bizarre dream. He put the back of his hand against his forehead, which was already dripping with sweat.
He stretched out a hand and interlocked his fingers.
The complete touch made Tshisekedi breathe a sigh of relief.
"This is not the time fragment of the 'God of Truth'." He murmured to himself, "The 'Prophet' is still fighting stubbornly, what a stubborn old thing."
He carefully recalled the content of the "dream", but unfortunately, he could only remember some fragmented fragments.
"The power of the 'Lantern Goddess' has decreased." Tshisekedi snorted from his nose, "Bantu has been too peaceful recently, and the people want to help each other and love each other, which is not okay..."
Putting on a leopard coat, the president walked out of the bedroom, and several confidants were waiting for him outside the door.
"Friends! It's time to create some common hatred. Once the people are idle, they will easily point the spearhead at my regime." He waved his hand, "Send the prepared press release, saying that the 'Tutsi outsiders' have come to violate Bantu's sovereignty again."
"Okay, Mr. President."
"Beep, beep--"
The president wanted to say something, but suddenly a strange sound came from behind him. He turned around quickly, closed the door and locked it in one go, leaving several confidants a little confused.
I saw a bright ball of light floating on his bedroom bedside table, the light squirmed for a while, and condensed into a mechanical appearance.
It is a square "screening room", three sides are electronic screens, and only one side is a real face. The fat curly-haired boy showed a rebellious smile unique to teenagers.
"Good evening, my friend from the Nakar Brotherhood!" He said with a smile, "Happy Halloween! Candy or trick or treat?"
"You have to come to Bantu so that I can treat you to Burger King, Mr. Metalonte." The president rubbed his hands, "You know, I can't leave my 'country'."
"I understand, but I didn't come here just to get a meal. Yes, someone is looking for you."
"Who?"
"Your good friend, Alfonso III."
As "Metallonte"'s words fell, a face with a fake smile appeared on the snow screen. As soon as he saw Tshisekedi, he got straight to the point.
"Mr. President, I want to ask for an explanation for the death of an employee of the Kinshasa office."
"Knock knock!"
Someone knocked on the president's door at the same time.
"Mr. President, it's bad! There's an emergency call from the office of the Red Poppy Chamber of Commerce!"
…………
"The entry "Hidden Master II: Great Red Dragon" has been included. You have obtained the mediums 'War Emperor' x3, 'Seeker of Knowledge' x2, 'God of Farming' x2, and 'Lord of the Earth' x1."
Lin An returned to the familiar Lambridge Hotel. It was pouring rain, and a red frog took shelter on the window.
Listening to the calm prompt sound of the system, he sank his consciousness into the [One Eye of God], raised his middle finger, and listened quietly.
The prophet did not respond.
Calling up the green data, he scanned the newly included entries.
[Name]: Great Red Dragon
[Rating]: Legendary D-level
[Radiation Value]: 22.3%
[Pollution Level]: 18.1%
[Medium]: War Emperor
Guessed it right.
The female white-collar worker is indeed one of the three legendary members of Kinshasa mentioned by Kevin, and her mysterious prototype comes from the modern copy of the "Great Magic Codex" - the magic book "The Great Red Dragon".
The "Great Magic Codex" has two volumes, the upper volume was lost in the printed version, and it involves the spells and methods of signing contracts with various hell demons and giving them orders, but the lower volume has been preserved.
The popular version calls them "The Holy of Holies" and "The Secret of Magic Art" respectively. The former records the production and use of ritual props, and the latter writes some "tricks" such as transfiguration, eavesdropping, and counter-theft.
Previously, Lin An included two mythical entries of the Countess, namely [Luciferge Roffkar's Hand] and [Repeat Nebiros's Words], but because they involved demon summoning, he did not dare to use them rashly without the contract triangle formation.
So this time he acted decisively and included the entries of "The Great Red Dragon".
Apart from the eavesdropping spell that conflicts with [God's One Eye], the second entry in the "Great Red Dragon" is [The Making of the Stone of Ematille].
The Stone of Ematille, also known as the Chicken Blood Gem, is a semi-precious stone with magical or healing properties, often appearing in wizard and witch rituals.
It is an empowering stone that is said to fulfill the user's wishes.
The ancient Egyptians and Greeks believed that the Chicken Blood Stone fell from the sky and had the effects of protecting health, expelling night demons or Lamia vampires, and curing internal diseases.
After being spread to Western Continent, especially the Mediterranean region, the Chicken Blood Stone was believed to have the effect of preventing the evil eye, which can prevent demons from invading the spirit and soul of the possessed.
In ritual magic, people believe that it has magical powers that are enough to resist those unruly demons.
Without hesitation, Lin An immediately used the entry.
The energy turned into a green jasper with red spots, slowly taking shape, and the Stone of Ematille appeared.
When Lin An held it, he could feel that the stone was made of pure "Comos" energy, and the cold surface was engraved with an inverted cross pattern.
This was the chicken blood stone used in the "Great Magic Codex".
The next step was to find two contract candles, which was not difficult for Lin An.
The prophet's time fragment was a month ago in the real timeline. The Red Poppy Chamber of Commerce had just received the news of the fall of Mbambuka and had no time to transfer the powerful mysterious person to the Kinshasa office.
Now the office is unprepared and left to Lin An to deal with.
The next time I go to Kinshasa, I will harvest a wave at the Chamber of Commerce office first, and then find the president.
Thinking of Tshisekedi, Lin An's eyes darkened, picked up the paper and pen on the table, and recorded the information of this cycle.
First of all, the president's medium is not the "War Emperor" or the "Chief Judge", but most likely the "Lord of Dreams" or the "Mother of Desire".
His mysterious art is related to influencing, amplifying, and modifying emotions, with a wide coverage and many targets.
Once affected by the energy, those people will regard his target as a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh, while Tshisekedi himself will hide behind.
Does the president have to kill all the ordinary people he uses before he can show up?
Lin An couldn't do such a thing. First, he didn't like to attack ordinary people. Second, killing so many people would cause the pollution level of the mysterious encyclopedia to explode.
Secondly, Tshisekedi was different from the prophet. The "thing" that talked to Lin An was just like a lifeless puppet, and there was not even a soul that could be locked.
But according to the source of the mysterious emanation, the president that Lin An saw was indeed the real president.
The last doubt was the so-called president's wife. She could affect the little man in the bottle, and was suspected to be at the source level.
Not only that, even the people from the Red Poppy Chamber of Commerce came to her for consultation, but ignored Tshisekedi.
Recalling all the doubts, Lin An turned on the computer and looked up the information of the president's wife.
As the mother of a country, the omnipotent network would always leave her traces.
The search results were shocking. The network said that Tshisekedi was 41 years old when he succeeded to the presidency. He had married 7 wives and gave birth to more than 20 children. From 2030 to 2036, he often took concubines and gave birth to children.
Even with the help of [Black City], international public opinion often criticized his corruption and philandering.
Until July 2036, Tshisekedi suddenly announced that he had converted to the Savior and respected the teachings of monogamy. From then on, he divorced all his wives and married a new one, who is now the president's wife.
It happened to be the year when the orbit of "Comos" overlapped...
The resume of this president's wife is extremely magical. Rumors are everywhere on the Internet. The mainstream said that she was a girl the president met in the local church. She used words of benevolence to redeem the confused president, let him "turn evil and turn to the right path", and the two fell in love.
The girl is an orphan who was adopted and raised by the church since she was a child. She has no parents or origins.
A more weird saying is that the president's wife is the "ancestor spirit" summoned by Tshisekedi through some kind of evil magic. He imprisoned her and used her for his own use.
Regardless of which one is true, the president's wife rarely attends various Bantu activities, and the work of accompanying the president is mostly done by the eldest son of his ex-wives.
After sorting out the information, Lin An supported his head with his hands, and a bold hypothesis emerged in his heart.
As the "rumor" claims, the president's wife may really be just a mysterious incarnation of the president, or even a mysterious item of his.
The energy fluctuations she exudes may come from the president himself.
After all, the source level is not a cabbage that can be found everywhere.
In the first confrontation, neither Tshisekedi nor I used our full strength, using simple mystical techniques to test each other, and the real trump cards were all in our hands.
As for the deal mentioned by Tshisekedi... Lin An doesn't believe in a traitor with a history of betrayal.
During the four days of waiting for David, Lin An wandered around Mbambuka as usual, and [God's One Eye] revealed the approaching footsteps of the prophet once.
It did not disturb Lin An, watched from afar for a moment, and then returned to the real timeline.
While Lin An's measurement values are still rising steadily, it is difficult to increase the degree of fusion because the deviation value has exceeded 90%.
If it can be said that it was barely "hanging up to collect measurement values" before, now staying in the cycle time is basically of no benefit to Lin An.
After finally making it to the fourth day of the seven days, Lin An left the hotel early.
The Kuba River was surging, David's private boat made a dull "woo" sound, blending into the hustle and bustle of the morning, and a huge shadow slowly approached the river bank of Mbambuka.
Soon, the young man from Kiwi Country, shaking his head, walked happily towards the hotel. He whistled and looked optimistic.
Leaning against the shadow of a half-broken wall, Lin An quietly waited for the opportunity to talk.
Suddenly, the system suddenly prompted.
"You have received a message from Ranger_10. Do you want to check the status of this user immediately?"
"Lin, we have been officially declared war from Kinshasa!"
"Is it the news this morning?" Lin An's expression was stern.
"Yeah! Although it should take at least a few weeks for the army to attack, since they got the news, the warlords, gangs and people who originally supported us suddenly refused to cooperate with the World Tree, and even the cowardly officials became tougher than usual."
"Are they saying something like 'You don't belong to Bantu, you are a group of invaders'?"
"Yes, the president declared us traitors and should be expelled..." Mezo reported uneasily, "The shapeshifting wizard pretending to be you asked us to appease the people, but I only care about your thoughts."
"Save your energy, hide your strength and bide your time." Lin An ordered, "I'm afraid this abnormal mood comes from Tshisekedi's mysterious technique. No matter what you do, you can't satisfy that group of people - the entire Mbambuka began to oppose [World Tree]?”
"At least the tribesmen who came with us were not affected."
“What are the characteristics of people who resist?”
"Maybe they love Bantu as a country?"
Patriots...
Lin An was thoughtful and said, "What else did the shape-shifting wizard say?"
"He prepared us to fight the president to the end, no matter how many lives were lost."
sacrifice……
Hearing this word, Lin An's heart was stabbed, half angry, half incomprehensible emotions.
First it stole my [World Tree], then replaced my [Forester] letter name, and now it actually ordered my companions to die for its ideals and responsibilities?
If they really died in the war and died in the indifferent and condescending confrontation between the family members, wouldn't it be a repeat of the past events on April 1st in Deitli City...
Lin An narrowed his eyes.
Prophet, you have crossed a line.
After comforting Mezzo with a few words, he touched the corners of his tense mouth and pretended to be indifferent as he passed by the restaurant. David was arguing unconvincingly with the boss about the use of "money".
After resolving the dispute as usual, Lin An took advantage of the situation and offered to be David's ship, and the latter readily agreed.
"By the way, brother, what are you doing in Kinshasa?" the young man from the Kiwi Bird Country asked curiously.
Different from last time, Lin An twitched his lips and responded to him head-on.
"Give two fighting dogs a shot of rabies vaccine." (End of Chapter)
