The end of the world starts with failing the exam

"Ihasrei is Dagon's lair." Armitage reminded calmly, "There are countless hybrid sirens and deep-diving people living there, and the strongest ones should be around Sequence Six. It’s not impossible to even have someone from Sequence Seven.”

"The most important thing is because Dagon is here, right?" The expression on Chen Boxu's face became more and more serious, "The half-fish man you call the false god..."

"Yes." Armitage nodded, "Not only is it there, maybe even Tekiri is there. You have seen it. It can easily split open an octopus in the sea with just a wave of its tentacles."

Chen Bofu fell silent, lit a cigarette again, and said nothing.

Go ahead.

The risk is too great.

Don't go.

Isn’t this fucking effort all in vain...

Thinking of this, Chen Bofu became more and more entangled in his heart. He always felt that neither choice was suitable. He was afraid of the risks when he went there, but he was unwilling to go back.

"Professor." Chen Jing seemed to notice something from Armitage's face, so he was not as entangled as the old man. Instead, he smiled, "Do you have any ideas?"

"If you have an idea, just tell me!" Chen Bofu heard his grandson's words and glared at Armitage without hesitation, "You help him this time, and the grievances between the two of us will be wiped out."

"It's not really an idea."

Armitage smiled and raised his hand to hold the frame on the bridge of his nose.

"If you want to go to Ihasrei, it might be useful to ask the natives for help."

"Are you talking about those people from Dagon's secret sect?" Chen Bofu was stunned for a moment, and then asked suspiciously, "Those guys worship Dagon very much. I heard that we are going to raid Dagon's hometown. Are they willing?" ?”

"Just put it another way." Armitage smiled and said, "Just say that you are the investigators I hired, and you want to assist the Dagon Secret Cult in investigating Ihasre, so as to get clues about the third ancient god... "

As soon as he finished speaking, Armitage took out a pipe from his arms.

"Ever since they heard about my hypothesis of the Three Ancient Gods, the priests of the Dagon Secret Cult have become very interested..."

Chapter 593: Priests of the Dagon Cult (Part 2)

I have to say that Chen Jing and the others are very lucky.

On the day they first arrived at Inboga, the second priest of the Dagon Esoteric Cult, "Shagong", happened to come to visit Professor Armitage at night. According to the professor, the priest was to improve a certain person in the Esoteric Cult. The ritual comes...

Although Chen Bofu was quite wary of followers of the Dagon Secret Cult, looking at Armitage's confident look, he could only endure it no matter how worried he was. After all, this was the only way with low risk and high returns.

"You are outsiders, so the Chagong priest will definitely doubt you, but don't show any nervousness. I will let him relax. You only need to remember two points."

During dinner, Professor Armitage was still taking the trouble to give instructions to Chen Jing and his grandson.

"First, you must not expose your identities, especially Jingjing. The Deep Space Resurrectionists are hostile to the Dagon Secret Cult. Although they have not joined the anti-Deep Space Alliance of Hanging Yongye, deep in their hearts I am very resistant to the revival of deep space, because in ancient legends... deep space is an existence higher than all the old kings, and they can't stand your appearance, do you understand?"

"understand!"

"Second, never let Priest Chagong feel your disgust or contempt for this sea area...especially you, old madman, don't do anything that is not there, give him some face for your grandson. benefit."

"I know!"

Chen Bofu was holding a ball of unknown fire in his stomach. He felt that nothing could be more aggrieved than this. He was obviously strong enough. If it weren't for the influence of the old sea, he had no doubt that he would be able to relax easily. There is no need to look for someone from the Dagon Secret Cult to take my grandson through the game...

to him.

The fanatic followers of Dagon's Secret Cult are much more disgusting than the natives.

Whether it was his sinister and cunning way of doing things or certain characteristics of his biological form, it made him feel sick just thinking about it.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

Power is stronger than people.

Sometimes when asking for help, people have to bow their heads under the roof.

"I think you have a good meal here..." Chen Jing peeled off the lobster shell slowly, his eyes shining as he ate, "It's lobster and crab... and there are so many seafood..."

"You try eating for a while." The pigherd looked at the table of delicious delicacies in front of him without any appetite. He just ate two crab legs and was full. "If you eat too much of these things, your mouth will taste bad!"

"Is there any?" Chen Jing gnawed on the lobster claws, "I think it's delicious. I'm going to bring more seafood back to the Western Continent this time."

Chen Bofu didn't even think about eating. He just smoked without saying a word. The cigarette butts he threw were all on the floor at his feet.

"That's pretty much the fake identity I gave you..." Armitage was still patiently telling Chen Boxu, telling him every important point, "You are my old classmate, and he is your grandson. You are both engaged in researching old students." Experts in Japanese history..."

"Is this considered forgery?" Chen Bofu frowned and said, "We were classmates and he was also my grandson!"

"Classmate?" Chen Jing blinked and looked at the old man curiously, because he really didn't remember the old man saying "going to school", and he had never even associated the word "going to school" with the old man.

But then I thought about it.

It seems quite normal for an old man to go to school. After all, he has been young for a long time. Didn’t he go to school in Yongye Market?

"Well, we used to be classmates, as well as Randolph, Hassard..." Armitage looked at Chen Jing with a smile, "Didn't your grandfather tell you?"

"No." Chen Jing shook his head.

"We were classmates at Miskatonic University. That school... seems to be gone now. It is in a swamp in the southwest of the wasteland." Armitage sighed as he spoke, looking a little disappointed, " Later, the school was destroyed due to a pollution riot, and almost all the teachers and students were killed."

This topic was a bit heavy, and Armitage didn't want to talk any more, so he started gossiping with Chen Jing.

"Do you know how bad your grandfather's grades were back then?"

"..."

"If the school hadn't been afraid of irritating him by expelling him, your grandfather probably wouldn't have been able to complete the first year of school."

"...Really?" Chen Jing looked at the old man dubiously, while the other man turned his head and sneered, neither admitting nor denying.

at the same time.

Bai En, who had been standing by the window in a daze, suddenly turned around. The huge eyeball on his neck slowly moved, and his pupils continued to shrink from the dilated state.

"Professor, Chagong is about to land on the island."

After hearing Bai En's words, everyone began to clean up the mess on the table.

Although Chen Jing wasn't full, he couldn't care less and hurriedly got up to help.

He had a crab leg in his mouth, and while helping Xu Ye and the others to move the plates and put away the dishes, he was thinking about Bai En's power...

He is supposed to be similar to the Eye Elder of the monastery.

That huge eyeball is the embodiment of his power.

"Is your eyesight still so bad?" Chen Bofu was lying on the sofa with no intention of helping clear the table. "I didn't even notice anyone landing on the island, but you saw it first?"

"Skills have specializations, but your strengths lie in other areas." Bai En's answer was very modest, and it was very useful to the old man.

About twenty minutes or so.

That night, I took a mop and mopped the floor again, and the doorbell hanging on the fence outside the courtyard also rang gently.

Armitage gave Chen Jing and others a look, telling them to shut up and stop talking nonsense, and then led them out of the house to greet the "distinguished guests".

There was a man standing outside the yard.

It seemed like this was the only one who came.

He stood outside the courtyard wearing a red robe as delicate as silk. His slightly bloated body was like a three-meter-tall scarlet sculpture thanks to his height. He remained unmoved despite the wind and rain in Inboga. .

A veil of gold threads covered his face.

So Chen Jing couldn't see his face at a glance, so he could only move his eyes upward to look at the most eye-catching decoration...

It should be a religious headdress.

It seems to be cast from gold containing impurities. The color is a bit dull and the overall shape is irregular. When worn on the head, it looks a bit crooked. There are many relief decorations of unknown meaning on the surface.

Not pretty but beautiful.

This was Chen Jing's first impression of it.

Because that thing can be described as crudely made, but it also allows people to intuitively feel the impactful "beauty" without understanding the aesthetics of the Old Sea... It is both exquisite and noble, but also weird and strange. , so "beautiful" that people can't help but hold their breath.

"Priest Chagong, please come in quickly!"

Seeing Armitage coming out to greet him with so many people, Priest Chagong couldn't help but smile. When Armitage opened the courtyard door for him enthusiastically, he slowly followed in.

"Today's weather in Inboga is not good." Priest Chagun chatted softly with Armitage as he walked. There seemed to be many soft tentacles similar to those of brachiopods growing under his robes, and they walked slowly. It made a sticky and weird sound.

"It's certainly not a good day," Armitage laughed.

"Professor, it seems you have a guest here..."

Priest Chagong calmly turned his head and looked at Chen Jing and his grandson Chen Jing at the rear of the team.

"He is actually a guest in a foreign land."

Chapter 594: The Second Priest Shagon (Part 1)

Before the Chagong priests landed on the island, Armitage talked with Chen Jing and his grandsons about the current internal situation of the Dagon Esoteric Cult. Although their management of these indigenous believers was a bit chaotic, they were also strictly hierarchical.

Not to mention the low ones.

What really interests Chen Jing and the others is the high-end combat power of the Dagon Secret Cult, that is, the few "priests" who stand above the many believers.

There are three priests in the Dagon Esoteric Cult.

The first priest "Notoa" is not only the helmsman of the Dagon Secret Cult, but also the only madman who does not show his face in public, but only likes to hide under the deep sea and devote himself to pursuing the "Way of Dagon".

The second priest is the Chagong who landed on the small island of Inboga. He is mainly responsible for revising the history of the Old Sea and developing various "original rituals" on weekdays. He is considered a similar person to Armitage. Not only is he top-notch in strength A high-ranking descendant, he is also a scholar with a thirst for "knowledge".

The third priest of the Dagon Secret Cult, who is also the weakest priest, is named "Gambalo". He usually lives in the secret sect stronghold in the north of the Old Sea. It is the end of the world with Chen Jing and the others in Yinbojia, and the straight-line distance spans The entire world continent.

"He's that kind of careerist."

Armitage couldn't help but shake his head when talking about the third priest, and there was a vague feeling of "looking down on him" in his words.

"He has always believed that the beliefs in the inland are heresies, and only the beliefs originating from the sea are holy and pure, so he has always wanted to develop the Dagon Esoteric Cult inland. However, it was taken away by the Great Buddha Mother Temple a few years ago. After a meal, I learned to keep a low profile now."

Have you ever been punished by a temple?

When Chen Jing heard this, he couldn't help but be a little stunned. He thought that the monastery in the far north was a standard big brother. If you preach under someone's nose, wouldn't you be looking for trouble?

"Anyway, Gambaro is a lunatic." Armitage shook his head. "His ideal is actually very simple. He just wants to keep preaching until everyone in the world turns into seafood."

Regarding the information within the Dagon Esoteric Cult, Chen Boxu obviously did not know as much as Armitage, so at the end of the conversation, he also asked the question he was most concerned about...

What is their strength?

"The first priest is Sequence Seven, the second priest is also Sequence Seven, and only the third priest is slightly weaker, probably at Sequence Six..." Armitage gave a clear answer.

get this answer.

Chen Bofu was not surprised, but Chen Jinggong was a little surprised. After all, in his eyes, the Dagon Secret Sect was an unpopular sect, filled with ignorant and arrogant natives... There were actually two descendants of Sequence Seven. ? Isn't this a joke?

For example, the [Moonlight Hermitage] has been passed down for countless years, and the only descendant of Sequence Seven is the Pope... In other words, this esoteric organization, which is so low-key that it has no sense of existence in the other world, actually has two capable people. An ancient descendant who is on par with the old man?

"Actually, the foundation of Dagon's Secret Cult is far deeper than outsiders imagine." When Armitage explained Chen Jing's doubts, his tone became serious, as if he was deliberately reminding him, "Although in your opinion, land It’s already huge, but the vastness of the sea is beyond the reach of land.”

As he said that, Armitage suddenly paused.

"The project of mixing humans and Dagon's clan has actually started many years ago, even before the emergence of Dagon's secret sect... So I have no doubt at all that under this boundless dark ocean, there will be There won’t be hundreds or thousands of sequence seven creatures hidden.”

"So I don't think it's strange that the Dagon Cult has two Sequence 7 priests. In fact, it's a little... You're new here, so naturally you don't know much about this sect, but I still want to remind you not to underestimate them."

……

Armitage's instructions still lingered in my ears.

Chen Jing and Chen Boxu sat in the corner of the living room without saying a word.

They looked at the two figures sitting at the table talking, their thoughts somewhat complicated...especially Chen Boxu.

"I didn't expect that after all these years, I could be so depressed in Jiuhai." Chen Bofu folded his arms with an impatient look on his face. If he hadn't taken care of Chen Jing and had to do big things, he would have been there long ago. When the second priest landed on the island, he had to give these natives a slap in the face.

I haven't even finished my meal yet, and I have to put down my chopsticks when I hear you coming. Who do you think you are?

Not to mention that now he has to keep her company.

Seeing others chatting happily there, I felt as ignored as an air person...

"It will take some time to come up with concrete plans."

Wait until late at night.
