Torture Officer Xiao Jie Just Wants to Fish

Isabella thought for a while and said, "Actually, having your own hobbies..."

"Let's go to the next room and look, it seems that there are no clues here!"

Rose interrupted Isabella before she finished her low-emotional speech that seemed to be "smoothing the field" but actually only made the atmosphere more embarrassing.

After that, she immediately brought the two of them to the piano room next door.

It was a well-lit room facing the sun. At the moment when dusk was approaching, the afterglow of the setting sun poured into it through the window and fell on the rather classical musical instrument.

At first glance, this room does not look like much to investigate.

But now that she was here, Rose decided to put on a show and wander around.

"These musical instruments are all good... Well, look at this flute, it has holes! Look at this drum, it's round! And this clarinet, it can play! And look at this harp, it's enchanted!"

While speaking, Rose fiddled with the Sig harp hanging on the wall.

A melodious and melodious voice sounded, and a weak wave of magic power came out, which made Rose feel a little bit guilty.

"No, what is the countess doing enchanting the harp? Are you in a hurry? Or is it hard to have too much money?"

It's fine if she's a spellcaster who can charm people's hearts, but she's a human ranger, what does she want to do with an enchanted harp?

Will it be used as an assassination weapon directly by adding toughness and sharpness to the strings?

Before the results of Rose's detection and analysis came out, what the enchantment of the enchanted harp was used for was displayed in a different way.

In the next room, there was also a faint wave of magic.

Then, the three of Rose heard a faint sound of "squeak".

Back in the study room, the bookshelves that were tightly fitted were separated from the middle, revealing a spiral downward staircase, dark and gloomy.

Facing the sudden appearance of the secret room, all three of them showed varying degrees of surprise.

But the nature of Rose's astonishment was quite different from that of the other two.

The reaction of Isabella and Ann was obviously "what, there is actually a secret room here".

And Rose's reaction was obviously..."What, there is a secret room here?".

She hadn't even checked to see if there were magic fluctuations behind the bookshelf, because she always felt that it was impossible to be so "classic".

But it turns out that there is a reason why "classic" can become a classic.

"That's fine..."

It's not just that the secret passage behind the bookshelf needs to be opened by a musical instrument hanging on the wall, which is a bit too "classic".

Of course, when Rose discovered the magic fluctuations on the harp, she would definitely find the secret path and crack it smoothly after going back to the source.

But setting the decryption sequence so that it can be unlocked with a flick of the order, what is the difference from setting the wireless network password to one to eight or eight eights!

Give it a try and it will open!

Even if there is a magic circle outside the wall, since it is a secret room, at least be careful about the final encryption step.

Rose complained helplessly, lamenting that Ms. Shazhi Winchester didn't know whether to be careless or cautious, anyway... the countess has a big heart.

But no matter what, finding the secret path is a good thing.

Even if it has nothing to do with the "Final Church", the things that a nobleman of the Sig Republic and the former sheriff of Palgalo City need to store and keep in a secret room will at least make her trip worthwhile.

Moreover, Rose had a vague premonition that the place where this secret passage leads must be inextricably linked with the Church of the End.

I can definitely find the clues left by Xiazhi Winchester about the End Yan Church.

"Come on, let's go down and have a look."

Greeting Isabella and Ann, Rose stepped straight up the spiraling downward staircase in the secret passage.

Dark, dank, slightly rotten, like all secret passages that hide secrets and intrigues, leading to evil and cruelty.

Moreover, the staircase was much longer than expected, and the total number of steps passed far exceeded the height of the three-story building.

This means that this staircase eventually leads to the depths of the ground.

Finally, at a depth roughly three stories deep underground, the stairs came to a dead end and end.

107 Cult?That's it?

At the end of the spiral staircase, waiting for the three of them was an open stone door.

Behind the stone gate, a corridor like a mine tunnel continued forward. There were wooden support structures on the uneven stone walls, and the lighting relied on dim oil lamps.

In this mine tunnel, there are many white bones half-covered in gravel and rock crevices everywhere. From the shape, it can be seen that those bones should not be some livestock monsters before they were alive.

The wet top of the rock dripped with a slight sound as it fell into the natural gutters formed by the hollows below, but there was no other movement.

Although there were no fluctuations in magic power, everyone still noticed something was wrong.

"Are you sure that Shazhi Winchester is not a bad person..."

Ann stepped on half of her leg bone and looked at Isabella.

Isabella also shook her head: "I just heard from my father, I don't know her personally."

Soon, this rather crude passage came to an end.

As the three of them walked forward, it became wider and wider, and finally after traveling more than ten meters, a hole appeared in front of the three of them.

After stepping into the cave, Rose and the others found that they were in a natural and huge underground cave.

Although there are some artificial traces, this is obviously not the secret base where Shazhi Winchester stores equipment and goes out in disguise at night to fight crimes in the city of Palloga.

Shazhi Winchester is a sheriff and an extraordinary ranger. During the day, she can fight crimes on the street in a fair manner, without putting criminals in a mental hospital.

The artificial traces here also reveal a strange atmosphere.

In addition to this hole at the bottom of the rock wall, there are seven holes in different directions, which seem to lead to different places. On the top of the rock, there are countless dark but glowing distorted symbols.

The most conspicuous man-made building in the entire cave is a high altar in the center of the cave.There is a dug-out sink around the carbon deposit, and a viscous black liquid is slowly flowing around the altar in the sink.

more importantly……

Rose and the others soon noticed that there were people in the cave.

Outside the water tank, on the periphery of the altar, stood more than a dozen figures in gray robes, all lowered their heads facing the altar, as if they were praying for something.

And on the altar, there are three figures in bright red robes, standing at the three joints of an equilateral triangle with the altar as the circumcircle, these three people stand together hand in hand, and seem to be muttering .

These guys seem to be running a cult. After all, they are dressed in such a strict appearance and form a circle around an altar-like place in an underground cave. Everyone still has the obvious aura and fluctuation of extraordinary power...

It can't be a mercenary group that is doing team building, right?

Rose thought so, but Ann frowned slightly.

"It really is these guys..."

Rose glanced at An, lowered her voice and asked, "I wanted to ask before. It seems that besides Shazhi Winchester, you also know a lot about this 'Eastern Church'?"

"No, the organization I know calls itself 'Day of Recovery', something similar, and believes in an 'ancient god' that I don't know if there is one. The purpose is to dedicate the entire continent to their god," An Suo said no longer Concealing it, he explained, "But those guys are not using the 'black magic power' that you solved, Lord Lord, but various strange things they call 'resurrection spells'...like spells of warlocks. "

An explained this, but a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.

"Cults are pretty much the same thing, but considering that their 'evil god' might be real, maybe they really belong to the same family," Rose nodded calmly, and said, "At least the gods who believe in It might be a little sympathetic."

"The evil god... really exists?"

Ann couldn't help asking.

"At least it existed," Rose replied, "Although I don't know the specific principles of those things that you think are like spells, the 'black magic power' we solved today is essentially a kind of magic power with a specific effect." Brand new magic power, and obviously not invented by these guys themselves - have you ever thought of anything similar to this characteristic fighting style?"

"You mean... those magic spells of priests?"

Isabella asked tentatively.

"By the way, the Light Power of the Temple of Light, the Frost Magic of the Frost Church, the Fighting Will of the War Church, the God-given medicine of the Harvest Church... Divine power itself is magic power that is easier to use and more convenient," Rose said. Opened his hands and said, "So believing in evil gods is the same, but this evil god doesn't seem to be very responsible. He only gave raw materials and didn't teach specific usages, that is, those magic arts... But if the day of recovery that the church and An said is finally over It is one, which means that the evil god is a little bit biased, at least in Ann's hometown, it seems to have taught some magic."

Rose said so, Ann and Isabella looked at each other.

"Then what should we do now?"

The two couldn't help asking.

"Now these cultists are obviously holding some kind of ceremony. No matter what kind of ceremony it is, it seems that they don't plan to sacrifice their collective purple sand...then stop it."

Rose said so and snapped her fingers.

The magic fluctuations in the space came out, and the three people instantly appeared on the altar, standing among the three red-robed men.

Rose's move startled both Isabella and Ann, and they immediately made preparations.

But the ones who are more frightened are naturally those cultists who are earnestly and concentrating on performing the ceremony.

Three figures suddenly appeared on the altar, and everyone still subconsciously thought that the gods they believed in had descended!

But when they thought about it, they felt something was wrong.

Today's ceremony is not a summoning!

"Succubus, human knight, swordsman..."

Then, the cultists realized...

Something went wrong!

"This is an attack!"

"End the ceremony, respond to the enemy!"

"Kill the guy who desecrated the ceremony and the altar!"

The three guys in red robes also shouted almost at the same time.

And in this gap, Rose also counted the number of people.

Six official, four elite, four extraordinary...

"There are two extraordinary steps and one epic step on the stage."

After counting the other party's staffing, Rose understood why these guys wanted to hide and launch a sneak attack with Sherlado.

If you don't engage in sneak attacks, you don't need Sherlado, and you can send out a captain to bring your own team, and you can blow up this cult!
