Rune Wizard - Chapter 185
In a blink of an eye, two days passed.
Under the night, Wutong Street was silent. Although it was also the outer city, it was only separated from the inner city by a wall. Therefore, both the environment and the public order are much better than Heishi Street and Gelan Street.
Not far away, by the street lamp.
Connie hid her body in the shadows, with a suitcase beside her feet, her eyes like night cats, watching her surroundings all the time, keenly perceiving everything.
“Sorry, I’m late.”
At this time, in the direction of the end of the street, Karen slowly appeared. He was wearing a gray robe and holding a crutches-like power sword in his hand.
“No, I just arrived.”
Connie shook, picked up the box by her feet, then took out two masks from her arms and handed one of them to Karen.
“The rules for gatherings on Wutong Street are that everyone hides their identities from each other.”
Connie put the owl mask in her hand on her face, and said: “I have greeted the person in charge of the party in advance, and he agreed to join you, but according to the rules, every new member must pay 10,000 magic Banknotes.”
“I have already paid the money for you.”
“However, after each meeting, participants will have to pay two thousand tokens as the cost of the meeting.”
Karen nodded and said, “No problem.”
Afterwards, he looked at the mask in his hand, which was a crow mask with faint energy fluctuations on it, representing an extraordinary item.
“This is something I specially prepared for you.”
Connie opened the mouth and said: “After putting it on, you can block some prying eyes. Those who attend the Wutong Street party will hide their identities.”
Karen nodded and put the crow mask on her face.
Then, under the leadership of Connie, the two of them walked towards the building behind them, which seemed to be an antique shop. After entering it, they saw an iron door. After opening, there was a dark passage that continued to extend downward. .
“Follow me.” Connie said softly.
Afterwards, she took out a piece of candle from her pocket and lightly blew it to light it. The faint light of the fire dissipated the surrounding darkness.
Connie walked up the stairs, and Karen followed.
The light of the candlelight can only illuminate the surrounding area of one meter, and the dark passage is still in front. The two people walked down the steps for a full three minutes, but still did not reach the end.
At this moment, there was a strange noise around him.
Karen frowned slightly, feeling a trace of coldness, and her palm subconsciously covered the Quan Sword at her waist, with a vigilance in her heart.
“do not worry.”
In front, Connie whispered: “This is just a psychedelic position created to prevent ordinary people from entering it by mistake.”
While speaking, light finally appeared in front of him.
The two came to the end of the steps and walked into a hall. The surrounding environment was still a bit gloomy. A round table occupies two-thirds of the room, and the seats were basically full of people.
At the front are three themes, two of which are vacant.
There was only one figure wearing a tree mask, sitting on the main seat, looking forward with deep gaze.
Connie nodded slightly and greeted the party host.
Afterwards, she took Karen to sit down, and the two waited quietly until a few more party members arrived.
Above the round table, the candle lit up suddenly.
“Ahem!”
On the main seat, the tree man coughed slightly in his mask, and said, “Since the people are almost there, then we will start.”
“At this party, Ms. Owl brought us a new friend. According to the rules, you can give yourself a code first!”
The Treant Mask spoke, looking at Karen.
“My name is Crow.” Karen said in a calm tone. Before attending the party, Connie had already introduced her some party rules. In this outer city circle of transcendents, each other would hide their identities.
Every extraordinary person who attended the party had a special disguise.
At the same time, they have already called each other by code names. For example, because Connie is used to wearing owl masks, everyone calls her an owl.
Karen casually named herself Crow.
The treeman nodded, and then said: “According to the previous rules of the party, before the exchange of items, let’s disclose some of the information they own!”
As he said, the tree man looked around.
This is also the rule of the party. Before the item exchange link, members can say some information they have, and the tree person, as the owner of the party, will pay a certain amount of money based on the value of this information.
This is why, every time they attend a party, members have to pay two thousand coins!
“I’ll do it first.”
At this time, the man code-named [skeleton] said solemnly: “I recently got a piece of news about the Black Sun Church!”
“Since the Black Sun Church was driven out of the inner city by the Public Security Bureau and Santaro two months ago, the Black Sun followers have been rioting in the outer city. A few days ago, Bishop Harris set fire on Blackstone Street and was arrested by the Musketeers. After the leader stopped, UU reading www.uukanshu.com claimed that he had found the trace of [Black Sun Son]!”
“Today’s Black Sun Church is in silence, and it seems to be planning an action!”
Skeleton’s voice was hoarse, speaking out the information he had, and the tree-ren’s deep eyes flickered slightly, and he directly took out a wad of magic banknotes and pushed it over.
Karen’s heart moved.
As an experiencer of the arson incident on Blackstone Street, Karen even directly fought against the bishop of the Black Sun Church, but had no knowledge of the so-called Son of Black Sun. He only knew that after the leader of the Musketeer Society arrived, the bishop of the Black Robe chose Retreat.
Previously, Karen thought that the retreat of the Black Sun Bishop was the strength of the leader of the Dread Musket Society, but now it seems that it is more than that.
“Black Sun Son? It’s not me who said it, right?”
Suddenly, a strange look appeared on Karen’s face, and no one noticed it under the cover of the mask.
Have been living in Herrington for some time.
In these days, Karen has spent most of her time collecting information in addition to looking for gold-patterned flowers and pecans. She also has a lot of knowledge about the Black Sun Church that has emerged in recent years.
In the eyes of the Herrington administration, the Black Sun Church is a pure cult.
The believers of this church, claiming to be the “unburned ones”, believe in the evil king of eclipse, and in the third era of the surging spiritual tide, they firmly believe that the king of eclipse will eventually recover and plunge the entire world into a black sea of flames.
The main reason why members of the Black Sun Church call themselves non-burners is their resistance to flames. Every member who joins the Black Sun Church needs to go through a special ceremony.
The so-called special ritual is to withstand the burning of flames.
The believers who go through the flame burning ceremony will gain the ability to manipulate the flame, but most believers die directly in the flame, and those who survive by chance will become unburnt ones.
