Chapter 434 Gathering (2400 Plus)

moonlight.

A cobbled path.

Two guests were walking through the tree-lined path.

One of them was dressed in a dance skirt, dressed as an upper-class lady, and wore a half-covered feather mask.

The other man is wearing a tall hat, and the suit on his body is gorgeous with a little too ostentatious color, like a magician in a circus.

"I didn't expect...the venue for high-end gatherings is actually in the Tiesago Empire."

Magician Aaron wearing a silver mask spoke slowly.

"There is no Iron Sago for a long time... The Iron Sago cavalry who claimed to flog the entire continent were destroyed by the Invis army in one battle, and the empire fell with it, and even the title of emperor was taken away..."

Doris narrated that ancient and bloody history with a voice as calm as a spring: "Because the Iron Sago people resisted fiercely, they still resisted tenaciously after the defeat of the country, and formed guerrillas everywhere... Since then, a tough policy of repression has been implemented, and the security war has been fought for 30 years, and the population of Tiesago has dropped to 30% before the war..."

"So many sacrifices... It really is the best sacrifice in war." Aaron sighed inexplicably: "Perhaps... this is the need for a super-large ceremony?"

"I don't know, but one thing I do know is that the Tiesago people will never give in!" Dai Lisi said: "Counting it... my ancestors were also nobles in the Tiesago Empire."

"I see."

Aaron came out of the jungle and saw an abandoned manor.

Under the moonlight, the iron railings are covered with all kinds of green vines, making it look very quiet and permeating.

"Well, I didn't realize that I got off the topic... It is precisely because Tiesago is sparsely populated and there are many abandoned manors and castles that this place was chosen as the meeting place. At least... it is hidden enough!" Doris said in a tone. Calm, without the slightest emotion.

But Aaron felt a little sad.

His inspiration spread, and time seemed to turn back. Under the golden sunshine, there were new buildings in the manor, bright windows, and a picture of a kindly couple playing in the garden with their daughter.

The appearance of that little girl was vaguely similar to Doris.

'My intuition...divination to the picture in the past? '

‘The little girl just now is Doris, right? The location of this manor, which was originally built in the deep mountains, is a bit strange, but if it is to avoid being captured by Inves, it is understandable as a family hermitage...’

'It's just that it was abandoned for some unknown reason. '

Doris didn't know that Aaron had understood everything, so she pretended to be a stranger and came to the gate of the manor with Aaron.

Unlike other manors, there are two hideous gargoyle statues, one black and one white, beside the gate of this manor.

Aaron recognized it at a glance. This is a certain ritual. Once the conditions are met, the gargoyle that looks like a statue will turn into a living thing and start killing.

But now, the two gargoyles look like dead things.

Holding her skirt, Doris walked lightly through the garden and into the hall of the manor.

Many candles were lit in the hall, but from the broken windows outside, it was still dark.

It was barren and lonely outside.

The interior is warm and bright, like a double space.

In the hall, some people were sitting or standing, and they all covered their faces.

Seeing Doris come in, many gazes, especially seeing Aaron, turned into scrutiny.

"Witch...you brought a stranger?"

An old voice sounded.

Aaron suddenly felt that the surrounding environment had become extremely dangerous. The tiles on the ground seemed to have softened, and those broken door curtains and broken wood seemed to turn into flying thorns in the next second, piercing his face.

‘Is it the activation of ‘Scarlet Nobility’? '

He murmured to himself, and Doris' firm voice came from next to his ear: "I guarantee with my life that the magician is not from the empire!"

The originally dignified atmosphere at the venue suddenly became a little more relaxed.

An elegant woman with a golden mask half lying on a red sofa like a cat, with a glass of wine in her hand, twitched her lips and let out a silver bell-like laugh: "We all believe in you, witch...but, we are very sorry for the newcomers. The vigilance of the survivors is always the key to our survival."

She looked at Aaron with a slight provocation in her bright eyes: "As for you? Newcomer, how do you prove yourself?"

"Prove it?"

Aaron stretched out his hands: "There is a distance between me and you, this is a fallacy!"

He stepped out, directly crossed the distance of the hall, came to the edge of the red sofa, and sat down slowly: "Is this enough?"

"The fifth essence - 'philosopher'?!"

"It's not done with Extraordinary items, but with your own ability."

The lazy woman smiled: "The lunatics of the Sun God Sect do not allow pagans to exist. I believe you are on our side for the time being."

"That's not necessarily the case...the royal family of Sodom is not lunatic, it may not have privately cultivated a group of mysterious people who belong to their non-'Yao' pathway!"

Another cold voice sounded from the darkness.

"If you insist on thinking so, then I can't help it!"

Aaron shrugged.

Anyway, it is impossible for him and Doris to reveal their identities just to gain the approval of this group of people, that would be a fool's job.

"Okay, we used to come from all over the continent, hiding in the light, like rats in the gutter... Everyone has some unspeakable past, why bother too much? Let's follow the old rules, no Those who agree to accept Mr. Magician, please raise your hand."

The woman on the sofa stretched lazily.

A group of people looked at each other, only a few people raised their hands.

"Not more than half, the motion is not passed."

The woman smiled at Aaron and said, "Welcome to our party, you can call me 'Cat Lady'!"

"Ms. Cat!"

Aaron smiled in thanks.

Because he knows that the opinion of the organizer or the leader can influence the choices of many people.

For example, if you just change the sentence just now, please raise your hand if you agree to accept the magician... It is estimated that there will not be more than half of the people.

"We're just a loose party, not binding."

Ms. Cat slowly sipped the bright red wine: "It's just a group of poor people reporting to the group to keep warm..."

"Okay, let's continue, where did we just say?"

A man wearing a black iron mask said loudly: "The evil Invens Empire has recently suffered a brutal blow... at least five 'alchemists' have fallen! Everyone... cheer! This is a great victory !"

The update tomorrow morning may be late
