Dominate the Treacherous Realm

The middle-aged man in front of 　　 covered his forehead regardless of the image:

　　 "Sage, this kind of thing actually appeared in Beldiran, is this world really going to be destroyed?"

　　 Even among all the notorious curses, [Curse of the Blood Mosquito] is the most terrifying and influential. The origin of this curse is the blood-sucking species, but the populations covered by the blood-sucking species not only include those ugly-looking humanoid monsters, but also include, but are not limited to, blood-sucking leeches, blood-sucking mosquitoes and many other categories.

　　 The humanoid blood-sucking species and these beast-like blood-sucking species can infect other species of intelligent creatures by their own power and enslaved them to become servants. And after this power was transformed into deceit, it formed the [Blood Mosquito Curse] that lasted from the 11th century to the present day and erupted every few thousand years.

　　 This kind of curse originates from a certain blood-sucking species that carries the power of the curse itself, and spreads outward through its blood. Any individual, whether it is swallowed, injected, or even just touched, will be 100% infected with the curse, and the blood of these cursed individuals will have a weakened version of the infection ability.

　　 The only good point is that the cursed plasma diluted with liquid is no longer infectious, otherwise the curse could ruin the world within a few weeks.

"After being infected with the curse of blood mosquitoes, the body will randomly mutate towards a certain type of blood-sucking mosquitoes, but most of them are blood-sucking mosquitoes. This is also the reason. The power and speed of the cursed will be greatly optimized, and even a small number of cursed individuals will They will possess the supernatural power of vampire species. But correspondingly, the cursed individuals are completely mentally broken and extremely thirst for blood. They bite to satisfy their thirst for blood, and at the same time spread the curse. Fortunately, we found out in time. The conditions of the manor did not allow those who were cursed to leave, otherwise Berdylan might be over."

　　 Mr. Gilbert took Jenkins through the main square to the hall where the cardinals would have a meeting.

　　 This is perfectly in line with Jenkins’s imagination of the church. The towering spire is entirely made of semi-transparent glass, and the interior is painted by typical religious oil paintings. The building is divided into two floors, but the second floor only has the round edge against the wall, next to the low-level clergy when they attend the meeting. They looked to the first floor through a huge patio. On the first floor, there is a big scary white oak round table. The thirteen chairs next to the round table represent the unique status of the twelve contemporary cardinals and Pope Pontef IV. .

　　 It's still morning, and the warm morning light is reflected on the round table below through the colorful murals on the dome, making the entire sanctuary look like the holy realm of the legendary sage. Five people have been seated at the table, three men and two women, these are the demigods stationed at Berdyran.

　　 Noting the sound of the door opening, the five people saw Jenkins, so they got up and bowed slightly:

　　 "St. William."

　　If it's on other occasions, they don't need to greet Jenkins so formally. But now in the sanctuary of the church, the huge holy emblem closest to the power of the sage is hung on the wall, and they must show the greatest respect to Jenkins.

　　 The door closed from behind, and Mr. Gilbert also found his place at the table. The other saint Boko I saw a few days ago has left Berdiran again. In this way, all the high-end combat capabilities of the Church of the Sage in the Grand Diocese of Beldiran are all available.

　　 Jenkins wanted to find a place to sit at the table at will, but the ascetic monk who bowed his head and said nothing has helped him pull the seat under the holy emblem.

　　 He could only sit there, and then suddenly found that the chocolate was missing. He thought the cat was always on his shoulder.

　　 "Chocolate... I felt a light shoulder when I got off the carriage just now. Could it be that it sneaked into the kitchen because it was not satisfied with today's breakfast?"

　　 Jenkins thought, and started the formal meeting.

　　 The main content of the meeting was, of course, to discuss how to effectively solve the [Blood Mosquito Curse]. While Mr. Gilbert went to meet Jenkins, the church made new discoveries. The reason why the servants who were infected by the curse did not leave the manor was not because the church was lucky, but because a huge puzzle centered on the manor prevented them from leaving.

　　 Of course, the mystery lock will not kindly control the curse from spreading, its main purpose is to connect all the infected people in the entire manor. Thereby strengthening the power of all individuals and to a certain extent endow all individuals with "immortality".

　　In other words, although the church has only explored the periphery of the manor courtyard, all the cursed servants killed by the scribes will be "resurrected" within a period of time. If you want to expel this effect, you can only take the corpse out of the courtyard before the resurrection, but the mysterious lock forbids this, and this almost creates a situation of no solution.

"From the current investigation, the last time the manor was opened to the outside world was the night before. The Earl of Paramount invited many nobles to the manor for a dinner. After that, no one came out because the Earl of Paramount often held some The banquet of "Into the Eyes" lasted a long time, so before we found out that something was wrong, the family and friends of those nobles did not notice the problem."

　　 Mr. Gilbert introduced that, except for Jenkins, he is the least senior, so he will introduce him.

Chapter 1519: The Grief of Blood

　　 The warm sun in the morning passed through the semi-transparent glass dome, leaving mottled colored traces on the round table of the sanctuary. The atmosphere at the table is very tense. What they are discussing is related to the safety of the entire city.

　　 "So how many individuals are there in the manor now?"

　　 Jenkins asked.

　　 "There is no specific statistics. It can only be roughly estimated based on the list of banquet invitations and the number of servants hired by the Earl of Paramount. This number is around 300."

　　 Mr. Gilbert replied.

　　 "Can the Mi Lock be cracked?"

　　 Jenkins asked the lady wearing a large black hat on his left hand, this is Shelly Conlan, the guardian of the palace library of this generation. She is quite young, but the exact age is hard to guess.

　　 "Apart from killing the host of the Secret Lock Ceremony, there is no good way to crack it now."

　　Secret Keeper Elder Wood Brossier replied that this old man was the only ninth-level gift among all the people present, and was the highest leader of the secret keepers of the Sage Church.

　　 "How strong is the cursed person in the manor? Can we directly enter the manor in a very short time and find the location of the ceremony?"

　　Middle-aged Donald Yasen asked, this gentleman is Miss Bevana’s teacher, one of the demigods who stationed in Berdylan all the year round, and has the title of “the left hand of the temple”.

"This is very difficult. We have only explored the periphery of the manor courtyard. The current situation is that the lock will spontaneously suppress high-level gifters, and the higher the level, the more targeted the victim, and the cursed. We tend to attack high-level gifters but low-level gifters, and usually only fight when they are close to the servants. I think the entry of a demigod will cause the entire chain to counterattack. Once the chain is broken, it will be The curses spread, and the danger is greater than now..."

　　 Mr. Gilbert said.

"In other words, we can only send low-level gifters to explore, and after killing most of the cursed in a short period of time, let the demigods enter to quickly kill the lock openers while they are not'resurrected'? "

　　 Jenkins concluded that this is also the best way the church can think of.

At present, the presumed culprit is the beautiful countess. When the church investigated her background, it was found that the specific origin of this person could not be found. Her previous identity was actually false, and it could only be judged that she was coming to Bell. Before Dylan met the earl, he lived in Nolan for a while. There is reason to believe that she was one of the few blood-sucking species who safely withdrew from Nolan in January this year.

　　 As for the purpose of unlocking the mi lock, this is not yet known. But anyway, eliminating all the cursed as soon as possible and closing the locks is the top priority.

　　 The church recognizes this, so it has sent a message to other churches. Even though Bel Dylan has always been the "domain" of the Church of the Sage, this time it is risky to rely on only one church.

　　 The temporary plan is to send low-level gifters to explore the way. The Orthodox church gifter squad gathered from around Beldiran will soon be assembled. In order to deal with possible accidents in the manor, teams of different gods were separated and reorganized so that one team could deal with any difficulties.

　　 "Warrior, conjurer, healer, fortuneteller, long-range attacking knight..."

　　 The periphery of Count Paramount’s manor was completely blocked, and the temporary frontline base was erected with the help of extraordinary powers. Jenkins looked at the battle plan in the room belonging to the Church of the Sages, and a little lamented that although the times have changed, the configuration of the battle squad is still moving towards the adventurer squad when the ancient supernatural power prevailed.

　　 He is now known to the outside world as a level five benefactor, and he belongs to the mid-to-high-end combat power. Because before the Son of God used the power of the gods, Mizuo couldn't perceive their power at all, which meant that it would not cause Mizuo's backlash, so the church was prepared to use him as a killer.

　　Unfortunately, Jenkins is the only righteous son in the Berdylan area, so his task is very difficult.

　　 Before most areas of the manor are discovered, Jenkins will stay in the room on standby. And when he was called, he was about to officially open up all the roads of the manor.

"An enemy that will not die, a well-prepared squad, the ultimate enemy who does not know their strength...How does it sound like you are trying to attack a game copy? A game copy... How long have you heard this term? "

　　 can't help feeling a little melancholy when he thinks of this, and then he pulls the cat playing with paper **** on the table and puts it on his lap and strokes it. After Jenkins had a meeting in the morning and left the sanctuary, the cat jumped out from which corner, letting Jenkins who had been worried about it breathe a sigh of relief, but at the same time he planned in his heart whether he should tie a rope to the chocolate to prevent her from running around .

　　 Cat's paw shook Jenkins' hand fiercely, not knowing whether it was dissatisfaction with his stroking strength or other reasons. It has been half a year since the adoption of chocolate, Jenkins still believes that he does not fully understand his cat.

　　 It is smarter, lively and healthier than any pet I have ever known, and sometimes it doesn’t even act like a cat. But chocolate is chocolate. As the creature that has been with Jenkins for the longest time in this strange world, as long as the chocolate does not leave, Jenkins actually doesn't mind what his cat is.

　　 squinted on Jenkins’s knees while enjoying the chocolate stroking. Reading this thought, he quietly raised his head and looked at Jenkins’ expression, suspecting that Jenkins had already guessed everything.

　　【Blood Mosquito Curse】With a huge and unsolvable puzzle, the closed manor has become a huge and complicated maze of death. The area of ​​the original manor was not large, but under the influence of the power of mystery, just exploring the periphery of the courtyard took a whole half day.

　　 On Sunday night, Jenkins, who had had dinner, was told to leave. Before that, Mr. Gilbert also came to him specifically and said some safety precautions.

"The exploration was very difficult. Now we have just opened the way from the entrance of the manor courtyard to the manor buildings. This has already paid a great price. Although no one has died, at least three people have been clearly confirmed to have suffered [Blood Mosquitoes]. Curse], we are now in a unified isolation, and the church is preparing sacrifices to call for the attention of the greats. When you leave with the team for a while, you cannot carry any AB items on your body, which will cause a rebound of the power of the lock. You are in The team will be responsible for exploring the interior of the manor building. If something goes wrong, please withdraw immediately."

Chapter 1520 The first thousand four hundred and ninety-seventh chapter teammates and preparations

　　 "Does the others in the team know that I am the Son of the Church?"

　　 Talking about adventures with Mr. Gilbert for a while, Jenkins suddenly thought of this important question.

"We have taken this into consideration and notified other churches that we will arrange for the Son to enter the manor personally. This time your teammates all know your identity. In order to cooperate with your actions, [All Things and Nature] Church, [Sun and Justice] The church, the [Destiny and Lawfulness] Church, and the [Death and Ending] Church have sent their own elites, and two of them are your acquaintances in Nolan."

　　 "My acquaintance?"

　　 Jenkins thought for a while, and roughly guessed who it would be, but some didn't understand why they were in Bel Dylan.

　　 "Okay, I understand all of these, is there anything else to tell?"

　　 He nodded and said.

"Here is a piece of information based on the experience accumulated by the first team during the exploration of the courtyard. Although the situation inside and outside the building is very likely to be different, it is also worthy of reference in dealing with those who are cursed. Yes. You can take a look before you leave, but please remember that you have not grown into a demigod. Please do not take risks in the manor. Although this is a bit wrong, you can do it as a last resort. Choose to give up teammates."

　　 Mr. Gilbert exhorted again.

"Actually, I am also a very cautious person. As for giving up teammates... I think my luck is not that bad. Oh, there is another question, whether I can use the sage given by the sage in the lock the power of?"

"If you find the bloodsucking species that performed the stray lock ritual and are confident to kill her, you can use this great power. We currently judge that the pure power of God will not cause the stray lock to rebound too much. But if you can't do it When it comes to a one-shot kill, please don't reveal your identity. After all, in the entire material world, there is only you, a holy son below the demigod rank. If you make the other party vigilant, the following things will be very troublesome."

　　 Such a dangerous action, Jenkins originally did not intend to bring chocolate. After all, the manor is full of curses, and Jenkins doesn't want his cat to become a vampire cat by accident.

　　 It happened that the old man heard about this, and came to visit Jenkins, and Jenkins wanted to take care of the chocolate for the time being. But Chocolate couldn't obey it, two little paws grabbed Jenkins' clothes, no matter how much he pulled it, they couldn't pull it apart.

"Speaking of it, don’t forget, Robert and the others arrived in Berduran at about three in the morning today. If you have already left the manor, you can pick them up at the train station. Remember, there is Two, don't go wrong!"

　　 While Jenkins was fighting with the cat, the old man reminded him. Seeing that the cat refused to leave Jenkins, he knew that he didn't need to take care of the pet for Jenkins temporarily:

　　 "I won't remind you of the safety issue anymore. Be careful when you move around for a while, try not to touch any objects in the manor, and try not to touch the dead body."

　　 "Good old man, I know all this."

　　 Jenkins also gave up the idea of ​​leaving the cat outside, and then showed his father what the church had just sent.

　　 "Look, hemolytic toxin, the Diocese of Nolan has deployed a large number of them to fight against the vampire species. Now there are the last ones that have not expired, which happened to come in handy in this incident."

　　 "Although the church is well prepared, we still don't know what the vampire that spread the curse is going to do. Remember, be careful."

　　 Dad patted Jenkins on the shoulder and gave him one last word.

　　 Soon, the short-cut path leading from the entrance of the garden to the building was opened again by the first team. Before the blood-sucking servants who had been infected by the curse were "resurrected" again, the expedition team where Jenkins was with had already assembled at the gate of the iron fence in the courtyard of the manor.

Among the five people, Jenkins knew Miss Cape from the [All Things and Nature] Church and Miss Knight from the [Sun and Justice] Church, as for the lady from the [Destiny and Law] Church and the silence of [Death and End] Tomb Keeper, Jenkins has never seen it.

　　 "Good evening...I am so surprised to see you in Bel Dylan."

　　 He originally wanted to ask why the two ladies were in Berdylan, but it was a bit impolite to ask, so he changed to a gentler way of asking.

　　 "I have some personal matters to deal with in Bel Dylan, and I didn't expect to encounter this incident. Mr. Williams, I didn't expect you to be the Son of God. I didn't expect it."

　　Miss Knight wears a historical armor with her own peeping in her right arm. This seems to be tailor-made for her. At this time, only the knights of the [Sun and Justice] church will wear this equipment. In fact, she knew that Jenkins was the Son of God as early as in the final battle between Evergreen Forest and Skeleton Sword, but there was a strict confidentiality agreement at that time, so she could not disclose it.

　　 "The church temporarily transferred me to Berduran a week ago, and I don't know why. Good evening, Jenkins, so you are the son of that sage..."

　　Miss Cape suffered a soul wound that was difficult to heal because of the mirror world, so she had been recuperating in Nolan City before. This sudden appearance in Bel Dylan is indeed very unusual, but it is not the time to explore this matter. The surrounding cousins ​​of Jenkins wore the [All Things and Nature] church-style female sacrificial robes, which formed a sharp contrast with the heavily armed Miss Knight.

　　 As for the silent grave guard, he is the only male in the group except Jenkins. He wears the grave guard's black robe and carries a small coffin on his back. This seems to be a necessary material for a certain unique spell among the grave guards. As for the fortuneteller, he was quite polite to Jenkins. Not only because of his status as a son, but also because of the extraordinary status of Miss Broniance and Miss Audrey in the church, as well as Jenkins' school status.

　　 "Miss Bronie Anse is the only 9th level fortune teller of this era."

　　 The young fortune-teller used simple facts to tell Jenkins why he was respected, while Jenkins was a little embarrassed to admit that his level of fortune-telling was not even a complete beginner.

　　 Soon a group of people set off, everyone wearing gloves to prevent touching the items in the manor, of course, hemolytic toxins are also essential. As for whether other people are carrying gifts, Jenkins' eyes can be observed at close range, but it seems that no one except him has such equipment. After confirming that the supplies he was carrying were complete, Jenkins took the lead and everyone stepped into the iron fence gate of the manor that was blocked by a layer of mist. This was the dividing line between reality and mystery.

Chapter 1521 Chapter 1498 Chapter Labyrinth and Fall

　　 After passing through that layer of opaque fog, he came to the inside of the manor. What he saw was no longer a spacious courtyard, but a huge maze made up of strange blood-red plants and twisted and irregular gray bricks.

　　 is surrounded by hazy white mist, and looking up, the sky is also misty. I can vaguely see something huge shaking at a very high altitude, but I can't see clearly when standing on the ground.

　　 The other four people also crossed the fog door and came to Jenkins. After confirming that the servants around were still in corpses, the group moved forward quickly according to the map provided by the church. Before leaving the manor, the first team had already used the corpses of the cursed vampire servants to make road signs at every fork in the road, so they only needed to observe the corpses along the way to know the next direction.

　　 ran for ten minutes before finally seeing the towering building gate in front of him. The hazy fog around the gate completely covered the walls of the building, so from the distance of the maze, you can only see the solitary gate standing here.

　　 The door is brass-colored, and there is a ring of leaky steam pipes around the bottom. This is definitely not the original building door, but the power of the lock distorted the environment and the real substance.

　　 The first exploration team arrived here, basically there is no power and time to move forward, so how to open this door requires Jenkins and his team to figure out a way. The church has also made sufficient preparations. If they cannot open the door during their trip, the next time they act, they can open the door by reducing the strength of the team members and carrying a Type B extraordinary key.

　　 "I'll give it a try first."

　　 Jenkins cautiously put his hands on the door, Miss Knight also made this action. With his feet standing on the ground, the addition of Titan's power gave him unparalleled power. Miss Knight's body once again showed signs of dragonization. In addition to the multiplication of power, a sense of oppression that can only appear on beasts. Also followed. As the two of them worked hard, the shaft of the door really made a creaking, harsh sound.

　　 The door was pushed a little bit inward, until a person of standard size appeared to pass sideways, and they stopped.

　　The grave guard first stuck his coffin in this gap to prevent it from closing, and then entered sideways first.

　　 "You can come in, it's safe for the time being."

　　 A few seconds later, he poked his head out again, and everyone entered the building one by one.

　　The power of the lock makes this three-story house resemble a giant's residence, with only the ceiling on the first floor, which is now nearly a hundred feet tall. Entering the interior of the building, the blood-red flowers that grew arbitrarily in the courtyard disappeared. Instead, a layer of sauce-red color appeared on the decorative surface of the house.

　　The characters in the oil paintings became disgusting, and the decorative armor on the corners of the walls were drawn into runes with bloodshot eyes. Even the chandeliers on the ceiling changed their appearance, and those evil bat statues held up human skulls, illuminating the way for a group of people.

　　 The outside is thick white fog, while the inside is diffused with red fog. There is a strange sweet smell in the mist, but it is clearly **** to distinguish it carefully.

　　 "It may be toxic, we need to act as soon as possible."

　　 Jenkins frowned and said, then pressed his chest to make the cat hidden in the inner pocket quiet and not move. He looked at the fortune-teller, who tried to divination, and then motioned everyone to walk to the left along the corridor.

　　 The enemies that appeared inside the building, in addition to the cursed servants that are common in the courtyard, also had more guests who came to the banquet. I don't know what the principle is, the strength of these newly-emerged cursed people has been greatly improved compared to the servants.

　　 Without direct contact, some of the cursed persons who carry the curse of blood mosquitoes can even resist two different magical blows. This shows that the power of Mizuo is more terrifying than imagined, and the power of this [Blood Mosquito Curse] will not be inferior to any record in history.

　　Because the team's match is appropriate, most of the enemies blocking the road are dealt with by them. In the team, Jenkins is mainly responsible for controlling the enemy with the ability of [Freezing Ice], which is the most powerful force he can expose.

　　 After walking for about ten minutes, choosing between different fork roads, a group of people entered a large hall. This should be a room like a servant's restaurant, but now those wooden furniture are all piled up in the corner, and only a tall and thin man shrouded in blood-red smoke stands in the middle of the room.

　　 In fact, he is not in human form anymore. When he turned his head when he heard the sound of footsteps, what the five people saw was a huge mosquito head.

　　 Those eyes with a structure similar to compound eyes stared at several people. The black scale armor wrapped the rest of the monster's humanoid body. He stepped back silently and disappeared into the thick red fog in the hall.
