Age of Mysticism

Caesar felt that he should be tied to a cold iron chair now.

A hood was worn on his head, and his eyes were pitch black. The sackcloth on the inside of the headgear was sticking to the cheeks, sticky and greasy, and a smell of rotting blood kept drilling into the nose.

It's very familiar, but in the past, all the criminals who were caught by him sat in this seat.

What is this place? Who caught me?

Caesar felt a sharp pain from the place where he was stabbed by the dagger, and someone held the dagger and pushed it hard. He could clearly feel the dagger tip piercing his internal organs layer by layer, and very slowly... the pain along the spine went straight to the brain, as if being bitten by countless ants on the wound, wave after wave made people faint. arrive.

After an unknown period of time, the man relaxed a little.

Interrogation also began.

"Where is Fairy Clear Sky?"

"I don't know!" Caesar blurted out almost without any consideration.

The pain started again.

This time Caesar found that after experiencing the long-term pain just now, receiving this kind of punishment does not seem so difficult to bear.

"Where is Fairy Clear Sky?"

"I have no idea!"

Caesar still gave the same answer, he would not betray Clear Sky. Even if he knew where she was, he would not tell these people.

Pressure came from the abdomen again, but someone stood aside to stop it.

"There is too much blood, he will die... If he dies, he won't be able to ask anything."

Caesar felt the dagger being pulled out, and someone used magic to stop the bleeding for himself.

Then he heard the conversation between two people.

"Is there any way you can get him to talk?"

"No, and he was arrested by the apostle. If you kill him, the apostle will kill both of us."

"Why didn't you just say that! I almost...almost killed him."

"You didn't ask, and you used torture when you came up. I have already dissuaded you in time."

"You... well, what do you want?"

"I heard you have a Howling Blood Bead."

"Hey, don't be too greedy..."

While the two were bargaining, someone else shouted outside: "Master Apostle!"

The person who asked for the Howling Blood Bead smiled and said, "You should have thought about it."

"Here... sooner or later you will be punished for your greed."

"That's a matter of the future... Lord Harriman, this person is Caesar, the Director of Public Security in the Central District."

"Take off his hood."

"Yes, my lord."

The headgear was violently removed, and the blood loss made Caesar's mind slackened, but he still saw the environment he was in clearly.

This is a basement, with many strange patterns painted on the walls, and some human-shaped shadows. Caesar's knowledge allowed him to see that the shadows of those human figures were not painted, but the projection of the souls of real living people in this world after being sacrificed by blood.

"The Temple of the Abyss!"

Caesar looked at the man standing in front of him. He was wearing a decent suit. If he didn't look at his face, he looked like a distinguished celebrity.

There were still a few people standing in the room, wearing some kind of sacrificial robes and exaggeratedly tall pointed hats.

Abyss Apostle Harriman looked at Caesar with his glowing red eyes, exuding an aura that could inspire fear in people's hearts.

"You guessed it right. We belong to the Temple of the Abyss. I invited Director Nishizawa this time to ask you one thing."

Caesar felt that he was being watched by a bottomless abyss, and all kinds of negative emotions came up. Fear and fear are infinitely magnified by a certain force, and this kind of spiritual tearing is a hundred times, a thousand times more painful than being stabbed just now.

Caesar clenched his fists and tried his best to resist this mental shock.

"I know... I know what you want to ask? I will not betray Miss Qingkong...Kill me!"

"Huh?" Caesar's resistance was somewhat beyond Harriman's imagination. It is not anyone who can maintain reason when stared at by the abyss: "Your strength is like an ant in front of me, and you are still alive now." , is my gift to you.

Tell me what I want to know, and I'll give you a decent death.

Otherwise... I will throw your soul into the abyss, to be tormented by fear and pain forever. "

"Then try!" Caesar mustered up all his courage and stared at Harriman, his spirit was like a candle in a hurricane, ready to be snuffed out at any time.

"I'm giving you one last chance. To tell you the truth, you're not our only choice. Without you, we can still find the clear sky."

"I won't tell you a word!"

Caesar's tough response angered Harriman, and when he was about to use some means to make Caesar succumb, someone entered the room.

"Lord Harriman, the Duke's emissary has sent a message."

"what did he say?"

Harriman's tone was arrogant and contemptuous of the special envoy, and he didn't seem to be afraid of these secrets being heard by Caesar.

In his eyes, Caesar's final fate is a sacrifice.

"Viscount Iskran's meeting with the elf Qingkong was postponed because Caesar was kidnapped. Now Qingkong is looking for him all over the city...

The special envoy was very angry and asked him to go to see him. "

"What right does he have for asking me to meet him!" Harriman said angrily, "A barbarian, he pointed at me as soon as he arrived in Raging Waves City. If it wasn't for Lord Celtic's face, I would have thrown him into the abyss long ago gone."

"My lord, the envoy's servant is still waiting for your reply."

"Tell Erguya, we don't need him to do things in the Abyss Temple!"

"Yes, my lord."

After his subordinate left, Harriman looked at Caesar again with a smile on his face.

"I didn't expect you, who are weak, to be so valued by the elf Qingkong. I don't know if you are worth a book of disaster in her eyes?"

Caesar had just heard that Qingkong was looking for him all over the city, and his blood boiled instantly, and his fear of the abyss was swept away.

"Miss Weathering's love for the world has never valued power. She will find you, and let you prisoners who can only hide in holes like mice, see what is good like sunshine.

No matter how dark the abyss is, it will be illuminated by light, and you will all be purified..."

Caesar scolded very vigorously.

Harriman wished he could slap him to death, but he knew that Caesar was begging for death by scolding him.

Harriman laughed furiously: "Cesar, you will soon know... death is a luxury here!"

...

No. 102 Organ Street is a small back-shaped building. Its owner is Councilor Ible, and it is one of the many properties invested by this well-known rich man in Raging Waves City.

Early in the morning, residents of Organ Street noticed that there were more sheriffs on the road. They appeared from different directions, stopped vehicles and pedestrians, and drove them into shops and houses facing the street.

Then these sheriffs quickly set up roadblocks and pulled up a blockade around the small building at No. 102, Organ Street.

Just when the surrounding residents didn't know what these sheriffs were doing, the event that they will never forget began.

On the streets that had been emptied, the dense space fluctuated, and a large number of mages wearing mage robes of the Oulu Academy instantly appeared around the small building. These magicians held long-handled magic wands, stood three meters apart facing the small building, and put the magic wands on the ground together.

The chanting began, and a series of magic barriers unfolded. These magic barriers are combined into a protective cover, covering the entire building inside.

The space turmoil caused by space teleportation has not stopped.

Inside the protective cover, a group of Abyss leopards came out holding arm shields and short spears. They didn't stop at all, and their excellent jumping ability allowed them to leap five or six meters in one step. An Abyss leopard crashed into windows one by one.

A fierce battle ensues. Some Abyss leopards were thrown out just after entering the window; more were debris thrown out of the window by the impact of the battle.

The explosion also splashed broken bricks and rocks outward.

The teleportation continues, and the Oulu Battle Mage appears.

Unlike those Oulu Academy faculty members who came here temporarily to arrange the magic barrier, Oulu battle mages have their own unique clothing. The clothing is similar to a military uniform, straight and sculpting, which can not only show the nobility of a battle mage, but also not affect the action during battle.

The Oulu battle mages grouped up immediately after arriving, and then used the levitation technique to enter the battlefield through the passage opened by the Abyss leopard.

At this time a convoy arrived on the scene.

In the front are three motorcycles, in the middle are several cars with the flags of the Empire and the Secret Service, and behind them are more than a dozen trucks, which are loaded with war machines.

The Secret Affairs Bureau of Haijiao District has arrived.

The imperial spies got out of the car and assembled, and then dispersed to occupy the surrounding high points and main roads, completely blocking the organ street.

After the spies finished controlling the field, Luke stepped out of the car and looked at the building in front of him that was being "violently demolished".

From time to time, various beams of light exploded, showing that the battle inside was very intense.

"Detective..." Shelley and Pisco came to Luke: "Our people have already controlled this place, should I bring people in and give some support to the Oulu Battle Mage?"

This time, in order to eliminate this group of abyss mages lurking into Raging City, Oulu Academy used the strength of a lion fighting a rabbit. It is necessary to end the battle as quickly as possible with the least loss and the least impact.

Luke lit a cigarette for himself, and said to his subordinates: "Oulu battle mages hate the abyss mages very much, and our people may accidentally injure them if they go in. If some abyss mages take advantage of the loopholes and escape, the battle The siege is not perfect.

Let's stay on the periphery and wait for the Oulu battle mage to finish his work before going in to pay off the rest. "

Not being able to go in to fight made Shelley and Pisco feel a little bit reconciled, but they had to admit that the inspector was right. In such a short period of time, a seemingly solid building was demolished and crumbling, and the empire's spies with insufficient strength entered... I am afraid that they were smashed to death without seeing anyone.

"Yes, Inspector. We promise to look carefully and not let an abyss mage escape."

"Well, let's go to work."

Luke sent Shelley and Pisco away and got into the car. It was raining outside the car.

The clear sky is already inside the building.

Also caught an abyss mage.

The knife touched the neck of the abyss mage and forced him to a corner. Qingkong said to an Abyss leopard beside him: "Leave this to me, and you go elsewhere."

The Abyss leopard backed away, then jumped out of the room.

At this time, the abyss mage thought that Qingkong was distracted and was about to sneak attack, but the wall instantly froze, freezing his hands and feet firmly to the wall.

Qing Kong turned back to the Abyss Mage and asked, "Where is the person you arrested?"

The blade had already parted the skin, and blood was dripping down the neck. And the abyss mage answered without fear of death: "The mage who serves the abyss will not be threatened by any worldly power, and I will not answer any questions you have."

"Do you think you are very stubborn? Others may not be able to do anything about you, but I know how to deal with you guys who are overwhelmed. The power of the world cannot threaten you, but the power of the abyss can."

After Qing Kong stretched out her hand, the Book of Calamity appeared in her hand.

Seeing the book of calamity, the eyes of the abyss mage are shining. He wanted to snatch it, but his body couldn't move.

"Hand over the scriptures! The apostle can forgive your sins and give you the power of the abyss."

Qingkong chuckled and said, "I want to gain the power of the abyss, so I need the apostle's reward? Do you want to see the abyss..."

"think!"

"You don't regret it!"

The Book of Calamity floated up from Qingkong's hand, the knife in her hand exerted strength, and the wound on the neck of the abyss mage widened. The artery was cut open, and the spurting of blood from the wound did not occur.

Bright red blood flew out from the wound, the book of calamity opened automatically, and the pages turned. The blood was attracted and floated towards the book of calamity, decomposing into strands of blood-colored brilliance that penetrated into the turning pages of the book.

The whole room immediately revealed a strange atmosphere. Although everything is in place, it feels like there is no spatial orientation. There is no up, down, left, right, front, back, and no awareness of one's own existence.

It seems that the whole person has fallen into a place where there is nothing and nothing exists. Even under the shining of light, I feel that I am in eternal darkness.

Fall, fall, fall...

Falling in the silent darkness, only the heartbeat is the only sound in the ears.

But this heartbeat did not come from his chest.

boom! boom! boom!

boom! boom! boom!

boom! boom! boom!

The abyss mage wanted to shout, but he opened his mouth wide but couldn't make a sound. His eyes were hollow, his pupils dilated, and the muscles of his face stiff and hideous. His body struggled vigorously, as if something that made him extremely fearful was approaching.

Qingkong whispered in his ear: "Do you feel the abyss? This is the real abyss, not what the apostle's abyss energy can do.

Surrender to the abyss, give up all resistance and struggle, and let fear consume you. You will become one with the abyss, you will become a part of the abyss, and you will become a stronger existence than the abyss apostle. "

The struggle of the abyss mage really slowed down, and he lost so much blood that he couldn't do long-term strenuous exercise.

It also made his mind no longer clear.

Qingkong continued to induce: "You are still one step away from becoming an abyss... I can push you one more time, but you have to answer my question first."

"What's the problem?" the abyss mage said blankly.

"Where's Priestley Caesar? Last night... you caught him."

"He's in the cellar in the northeast corner."
