Chapter 279: Legend of Shadow
After walking for about ten minutes and crossing several streets, they finally arrived at a remote alley.
The four characters of the Black Rose Divination House are located at the end of the alley, and are very inconspicuous. If you don't go looking for it, you really can't find it. The person at the service desk at the door is a thin middle-aged woman wearing a black hood.
When the middle-aged woman saw Ian and his group arrive, she began to close the wooden door, then led everyone through several iron doors, and finally came to a secret room with a long solid wooden table and a light blue flame.
"Klauer, I would like to introduce you to Saint Kolier Ikrid and Saint Anlia. They are from the Knights Templar of the Phodemius Cathedral."
"You two are here to investigate the disappearance of the Night Crow Squad in the Misty Ruins City. The disappearance of the Night Crow Squad is related to the recent appearance of the 'Dark Shadow'."
Ian pointed at the two middle-aged men and women with powerful auras and went straight to the point.
Crowley looked closely and saw that the man had straight brown hair.
The man was of burly build, with fierce eyes, and a black sword wrapped in black sheepskin on his back, giving people an oppressive feeling that it was difficult to approach him.
The middle-aged lady wore a crown, had smooth and beautiful snow-white hair, blue eyes, and skin as white as snow. She exuded a peaceful aura, making people want to get close to her.
At this time, a deep voice said:
"The origin of the Shadow is very unclear. No relevant information can be found in the church archives."
"Preliminary investigation results show that the foggy ruins of Southwell City show that the characteristic is that it has no specific material form and is completely different from the devil and evil spirits."
"He is just a shadow, a shadow that can devour souls."
"Any extraordinary person targeted by the shadow will have a black shadow behind him."
"The shadow has an extremely terrible polluting ability, which only targets high-level extraordinary people from level 5 to 10, and is ineffective against saints."
"That's why the Pope sent us here, Ms. Antila."
The person who spoke was Cole Ikeride.
"Captain, I saw black shadows on Grisha and Theresa, members of the witch group."
After thinking for a while, Klauer told Captain Ian about the two times he was chased by Grisha and the strange things he discovered from Grisha.
At this moment, a soft voice said:
"It seems that Shadow is only very interested in members of the witch group."
"As far as I know, all high-ranking witches on Dawn Island have been contaminated by the Shadow."
"Even Ms. Scourge, the leader of the witch group, is no exception."
Crowley followed the direction of the voice, and the voice came from Saint Anlia.
"We currently have very limited clues about Shadow. Klaue, you have had many contacts with Grisha. Have you found any other suspicious clues related to Shadow?"
Ian looked at Crowley inquiringly.
Crowley pondered for a while before saying to Ian:
"I didn't learn much about Shadow from Grisha, but I heard a very strange thing from the receptionist in the paradise. This thing may be related to Shadow."
After saying this, Klauer picked up a pen and paper, drew a sketch of a worker wearing a biochemical protective suit, and handed it to Captain Ian.
At the same time, he told Ian what he knew about the legend of Shadow from the cannibals.
"In cannibal lore, Shadows are world-spanning gods, sent from Hell to oversee our world."
Crowley repeated what Bio-Hector said.
"A God who spans the world?"
“Perhaps this is a very good direction for investigation.”
Cole Ikeride took the sketch from Ian and continued:
"If Shadow is a god from another world, then his corruption of this world has reached an extremely terrifying level."
"He is even better than the three pillars of evil."
"Captain Ian, how much do you know about the cannibal tribe?"
Cole Ikeride folded the sketch carefully and put it in his pocket, while asking Ian about the cannibal tribe.
"Legend has it that they were the indigenous people here. Thirty years ago, the Dawn Company killed almost all of them in order to occupy Dawn Island."
"Not many people managed to escape by chance. They survived in the mysterious place at the outermost edge of Dawn Island. They are extremely hostile to outsiders."
"They were bare-chested, without clothes covering their bodies, and used lime and black powder to paint masks on their faces. They ate human flesh and drank human blood."
"Cannibals are no longer normal humans. According to legend, they worship a terrifying evil god and use living people as priests in exchange for the protection of that being."
Ian informed Coliel Ikorid of the detailed information about the cannibal tribe on Dawn Island.
Then he continued:
"On the outskirts of the park, less than 50 miles from Krako City, there is a story line themed "Cannibals."
"This themed story line is created to imitate the cannibal tribe and is very popular among tourists."
“The ‘Cannibal’ theme storyline is also closely connected to the ‘War’ theme storyline.”
“The War theme storyline takes place on the same turf as the Cannibal theme storyline. These two theme storylines push the visitor experience to the extreme.”
Ian also informed Coliel Ikorid of the "Cannibal" theme storyline related to the cannibal tribe.
"So, the designer of this theme storyline is likely to know some information related to the shadow."
"Do you know who designed this theme storyline?"
After pondering for a moment, Cole Ikeride asked Ian in a quick tone.
"The person you are asking about is named Arnott, a high-level transcendent of level 10. However, he died 30 years ago."
Ian informed Cole Ikeride of the result.
Arnott?
He has been dead for so long, yet he still has so many tricks up his sleeve.
Could it be that he wanted to be resurrected from the dead?
Crowley frowned at the thought.
At this time, Coliel Ikeride continued:
"Klauer, you will stay in Krako for a while and see if you can attract the attention of the witch group members again. Ms. Anlia will protect you in secret."
"Captain Ian, tomorrow you will lead the Night Judge Squad to go to the cannibal tribe with me."
After saying this, Coliel Ikorid was the first to walk out of the secret room.
"Klauer, this is my message badge. If you are in danger, use your spiritual power to activate this badge and I can come to you in half a minute."
"The badge can also be used as a protective shield. As long as the correct spell is chanted, the protective energy of the badge can be activated, which can resist three full-strength attacks from a Saint-level extraordinary person."
After Anlia finished speaking, she handed Crowley a silver badge.
Klauer took the palm-sized badge and found that it was in the shape of a shield, engraved with a black moon and three cross stars. A warm energy was flowing inside the badge.
At this moment, Anlia's gentle voice came out:
"The correct spell is: Anlia from the Cathedral of Artemis, you are a warrior of the Knights Templar, a punisher of villains, and the nemesis of evil spirits and demons."
"Please allow me to use your power - Feiyue is above!"
Klaue memorized the spell secretly, took the badge and thanked Anlia.
The J-level saint is indeed powerful. He can even create high-level talismans to guide the target towards himself.
After Klauer returned to the hotel, he took out the badge and examined it carefully, and couldn't help but sigh.
Nothing happened that night and Crowley slept soundly. The next morning, Crowley first patrolled the city but did not find any suspicious people.
In order to let Grisha find the flaw, Klauer deliberately looked for a remote place, but found no trace of Grisha.
It seems that the other party must be on guard and will not attack me in the city.
Thinking of this, Crowley rode out of the city and began to ride aimlessly around the outskirts of the city.
Klauer rode from morning to noon without seeing a single person. When he was about to return to the city of Krako, he discovered a team that looked very familiar.
They are Billy, Logan, the cyborg Dorothy, the criminal Slim and others.
The group had their faces covered and were fully armed.
Even Dorothy changed into long leather shoes, tight pants, a wide belt, and a pistol in her hand, dressed like a cowgirl.
What are they going to do?
When Crowley saw Dorothy's look, he was stunned and decided to follow her secretly.
Logan commented on Dorothy at this time:
"Billy, look at the way your girl is dressed."
"With this figure and temperament, she is definitely a female bandit king."
Dorothy quickly put away the pistol and said:
"I don't plan on using this gun much, I'm just doing it for show."
"Those men were Union soldiers, just like my father was."
"I won't hurt them, and neither will you, right? Just grab the nitroglycerin and retreat."
Right? "
Dorothy turned to look at Logan, only to find that Logan had already run out and stopped in front of a high-roofed carriage guarded by two soldiers.
Logan shouted excitedly to the two soldiers:
"Hello, my friends and I are here to help you lighten your luggage."
Upon seeing this, the two soldiers immediately pointed their spears at Logan and said seriously:
"You've been fooled. There's nothing valuable in this carriage. You've found the wrong carriage."
Logan:
"What I heard is that if we fire one shot, that thing will blow all of you back home."
Soldier:
"Then you also know that we will not surrender."
"We swore to protect the people of our young republic from reckless fools like you."
Logan pointed his gun at the soldier:
"Say that again and call me an idiot."
Dorothy:
"We only want the goods inside. We don't want to hurt you."
Billy:
"If it were me, I would listen to this lady. This guy really knows how to shoot for the sake of watching the explosion."
Soldier A:
"They are in large numbers, so just do as they say."
Logan:
"Hand over the gun, quick."
"Both of you, get out of the car and hand over your guns so everyone can save their lives."
"Hurry up, don't dawdle."
"Stand over there, and step back a little bit"
"Thank you very much. Here, I'll return your gun."
Logan threw the gun back to the two soldiers, and at this moment, there were gunshots, and Slim fell to the ground, along with another soldier who had just stuck his head out of the car.
Seeing this, Logan pointed his gun at the two soldiers who had just received the guns, and fired two shots. The two soldiers pressed their hands on their abdomens and fell to the ground.
"This shot is because you lied."
"Also, this shot was for calling me 'idiot'."
Seeing this, Dorothy rushed forward and shouted:
"stop!"
"Don't kill them, please."
Logan did not listen to Dorothy's pleas and fired several more shots at the two soldiers.
Logan:
"Billy, how did you know there were soldiers in the carriage?"
"Also, you're a very good shooter. We want someone as powerful as you."
"I knew you would fit in here."
“Awesome!”
Logan hugged Billy excitedly, feeling incredible that Billy had just killed the sneak attacking soldier in an instant.
Logan:
"Not a bad job today, let's go."
Dorothy:
"We agreed to spare the lives of these soldiers."
"Also, this Slim seems to be dead."
Logan:
"Let's go, let's take the carriage and Slim's body back."
The mysterious tourist had a lot of fun. Billy looked gentle on the surface, but he was actually a natural killer. It was interesting.
Crowley smiled knowingly at this.
When Krall saw Logan and his party pulling the spoils into the city, he had nothing to do, so he followed them from a distance and returned to Krako City.
