"Did you find any clues?" Froud asked quickly: "Did you find who they were offering sacrifices to?"
According to what Froude learned from Little Sam, the sacrifices at that time were not only made by farmers, but also by many dignitaries in the town.
This is a typical collective sacrifice event, and it is a tribute sacrifice mainly made by humans, which is full of primitive style. Similar situations have been recorded in the history of the wizarding world, and there is a high probability that the object of sacrifice is an evil god from another world.
, in the name of sacrifice to deepen the connection with the wizarding world, and then enter the wizarding world.
This kind of situation is very common in the primitive tribes of Felan continent, so every once in a while, wizard organizations in various places will send out tasks to ask their people to go to the primitive tribes of Felan continent to clean up such sacrificial incidents.
Drew shook his head: "I don't know who they are worshiping yet."
Froud frowned slightly: "Then what clues did you find...?"
Drew looked slightly embarrassed: "We are still unable to confirm whether the clues found by the Knights are related to the collective sacrifice incident, but according to some speculations, there may be some connection between the two that we have not discovered yet."
"Hey, what do you mean?"
Drew stroked his reading glasses and motioned for Flood to enter the castle.
While walking into Xinghu Castle, Drew also told about the clues found by the Royal Knights in Dawn Town of Yinyun Principality.
Drew's narration was clear and concise, and Flood quickly understood the general outline.
The story begins when the knights go to investigate the farmer's sacrifice.
Because the Yinyun Principality is a subsidiary state of the Central Empire, the Knights of the Yinlu Royal Family can also obtain a high status in the Yinyun Principality and have special law enforcement powers. Therefore, the Knights went to investigate the farmers' sacrifices and directly used their status to suppress them.
People quickly found out all the dignitaries in Liming Town who were involved in the sacrifice incident.
But unfortunately, the Knights did not find too many clues in the hands of these people. Their sacrifices seemed to come out of thin air, and they could not get any answers when asking them.
The people of the Knights speculated that the mighty powers from other worlds might have used abilities similar to memory interference. If they wanted to dig out clues, they would probably have to send out official wizards.
Therefore, the knights reported this information to Neia first.
Because sacrifices to evil gods from other worlds can be big or small. Some evil gods from other worlds are purely curious, and some evil gods from other worlds are full of malice towards the wizarding world. But no matter whether the sacrifice event is big or small, Neia is still the third one.
Immediately, feedback was given to the Hurricane Tower, hoping that the Hurricane Tower would send an official wizard over.
The Knights are not yet sure whether or when the official wizard will come, so they want to take advantage of this opportunity to continue digging into some of the secrets of Dawn Town to see if they can find any other clues.
However, after checking the powerful families and the industries related to these families, basically no problems were found. Many members of the powerful families did not even know that there were people in their families participating in the sacrifice of evil gods.
When he was at a loss, a knight suggested that he might as well check out the slave market.
Since a sacrifice is to be made, there must be tributes, that is, living people.
So many dignitaries participated in the sacrifice, but there were actually very few like Little Sam. Most of the dignitaries did not want to make the matter a big deal, so the tributes offered by these dignitaries in Dawn Town were all from slaves.
Bought from the market.
As for using servants as tribute, the powerful are not willing to do this, because the servants of the nobles are also skilled and cultivated with etiquette.
A lot of resources have been spent on cultivating a servant. Are you going to sacrifice it? Have you eaten enough? They are not powerful nobles in the principality. Training a qualified servant is also very time-consuming.
The knights thought that they might be able to find out something by checking the slave market, so they agreed.
In the next few days, the Knights conducted a comprehensive investigation into the slave market in Dawn Town, and finally found some secret clues.
However, this clue does not clearly point to the powerful people of Liming Town.
Because, this clue is what happened thirteen years ago.
The reason why we even dug up what happened thirteen years ago is mainly because this incident is related to the "extraordinary event".
According to a worker at the slave market, thirteen years ago, many slave ships sailed into the nearby Port of Dawn from the open sea, about a dozen of them.
At that time, the slave market in Liming Town was also crowded with people who wanted to get some high-quality slaves - overseas slaves are generally more expensive than local ones, and there are also some humanoid slaves overseas that can cater to some powerful people with unusual habits, so
The price is even more expensive.
They really found a lot of very good slaves, but they only got very few slaves, and most of the slaves were bought by another buyer.
And this buyer is the person pointed to by the clue.
This buyer was very strange. He spent money very generously and offered a very high price for many worthless slaves. Because of this, the merchants on the slave ship were willing to sell slaves to him instead of Li Ming.
The town's slave market.
The staff at the slave market were very angry because they had been cut off, so they became more concerned about the buyer.
Then they discovered a strange place. The buyer's rules for selecting slaves were very strange.
What he values ​​​​is not the slave's talent, beauty or cherished status, but... the body shape and height.
The slaves he buys are basically in the same height range. He doesn't want slaves that are too short or too tall. Even if these slaves are more valuable, he doesn't even look at them.
The staff who discovered this secret became more active and immediately began to make calculations. Their slave market also had many slaves in this height range, many of which were slow-moving goods. If they could sell them to this person... it seemed like a good idea?
Later, through contact, the other party was really willing to buy it.
During the process of buying and selling, the staff got to know the other person further. At that time, they didn't think there was any difference. They just thought that the other person had some special height fetish.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But once, when a staff member sent the slave to the other party's temporary residence, he discovered that all the slaves sent before were missing. Obviously
They did not see each other leave, and they would definitely be able to find traces of the disappearance of a large number of slaves, but there was no trace of everything.
Moreover, this staff member saw a strange symbol at the other party's house...
"Symbol?" Froud: "What symbol?"
Drew shook his head: "I don't know, the staff member forgot."
Froude frowned. So far, he has not heard anything useful about the story Drew told. There is no clue about the so-called "extraordinary". So what's the point of Drew telling this story?
?
When Froud was confused, Drew continued: "That symbol is very strange. The reason why the staff member forgot it was not that he forgot it on his own initiative, but because his memory was interfered with."
"oh?"
"According to the staff member, he felt that the symbol might have some meaning and might be able to find out the identity of the buyer, so he wanted to forcefully remember it and then go back and check it slowly."
"However, the symbol itself is not complicated. However, every time he thinks he has remembered it, he closes his eyes and thinks about it, and all the memory of the symbol disappears."
"It seems that that symbol has some mysterious power that cannot be remembered in people's minds."
When Drew said this, an inexplicable sense of familiarity arose in Froud's heart: a symbol that cannot be remembered, isn't this very similar to that one...
"Does he have no memory of symbols at all?" Froude asked.
Drew thought for a while: "That's not entirely true. According to him, he can remember the frame outside the symbol, but he can't remember the symbol inside the frame at all."
Frame? Froude's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly: "What does this frame look like?"
Drew: "A concentric circle, and there seems to be a hexagon."
Flood was stunned for a few seconds, then turned his head quickly: "Do you have paper and pen?"
Drew nodded, and with some confusion took out the pen and a small note that he carried with him.
The name of the notebook is "Drew's Notes". It is Drew's record and experience of extraordinary power. It is densely written with countless small words, but Froud is not interested at all, so he directly skips it and turns to a blank article.
On the page, he took a pen and quickly drew a symbol on it.
But I saw that the outside of the symbol drawn by Froude was concentric circles, and inside the concentric circles was a standard ritual hexagon.
Froude asked: "Is this the frame of the symbol?"
Drew looked at it, nodded and said, "Yes."
When Froud heard this answer, he seemed to understand something and let out a long breath.
Drew asked curiously: "Does Master Thiessen know this symbol?"
Although it happened thirteen years ago, this symbol is related to extraordinary power and is very likely to be related to the collective sacrifice incident, so Drew is also curious about the symbol. If the Hurricane Tower sends an official wizard to investigate
, he can also provide corresponding clues to the above.
Froude nodded: "I have seen similar symbols, but I think this symbol has nothing to do with the collective sacrifice incident. The buyer probably has nothing to do with the subsequent sacrifices of the farmer and others."
"What basis does Master Thiessen have for his judgment?" Drew asked doubtfully: "Is it because it happened too long ago?"
Froude shook his head: "No, if there is no accident, this symbol is related to the Quest world. And the reason why the staff member you mentioned cannot remember the symbol is because it contains the password shackles of the Quest world.
"
Quest World!
