Age of Apocalypse

After a winter of silence, the spring after the Spory Festival was the home of merchants. Caravans began to walk in the territory of the Kingdom of Rose York. Even the Kingdom of Aragon, which was negotiating with the Kingdom of Rose, only saw caravans from the two countries.

A large trading fair will be held at the border junction.

Even the tulip collar, which has a rugged road, had a market for several days because of the caravans coming and going.

The huge flow of people also allowed the pubs in Perth to make a lot of money in Madrid.

Even the poultry in the castle was sold at a high price, although it was still much cheaper than outside. Finally, under the strong request of several caravans, the city hall came forward to purchase the poultry in the territory from the residents, while increasing the income of the territory.

, also made many residents more determined to raise poultry.

After all, the city hall will purchase poultry eggs, meat, duck feathers, goose feathers, and even excrement. This will save them a lot of travel and time, and also bring in more income. Why not?

However, since poultry is being raised as an industry, Perth is naturally concerned about the quality of poultry. Therefore, even if it is impossible to prepare better feed, Old Chuck will arrange a simple elemental array for farmers who raise poultry so that the poultry can get better

's growth.

Of course, this requires you to pay some fees to the city hall and pay annual fees. Although the price is low, Perth still announced the exemption of the first layout fee, which further promoted the development of poultry breeding. Perth sometimes even

Think about the scene after the poultry breeding base is established.

Therefore, less than half a month after the Sporei Festival, many caravans came here to buy poultry, and the city hall even had an order form for poultry.

Perth is naturally happy to see the economic flow in the territory, especially the traffic of caravans, which also bring many fresh types of fruits, enriching the daily recipes on the table.

.......

But before Perth could be happy, Steward Stone came and said, "Your Excellency Perth, Knight Case and Archon Nader have requested to be summoned."

"What's the matter?" Perth frowned, knowing that if there were no problems, he would never come together during this busy season, so he asked.

Seeing this, Stone said with an ugly face, "A dozen residents came to the Sheriff's Department this morning, saying that their children disappeared overnight. The body of a child was even found in the forest."

Perth was shocked when he heard this. This was something that had never happened before. He quickly asked, "Where are the families of those children?"

"Still in the city hall, Governor Nader has sent people to appease him," said Stone.

After saying that, Perth said, "Call in."

After Keith and Nader came in together, before they could salute, Perce hurriedly asked, "What happened? How many children are missing?"

"Currently, 17 children are missing, and the body of one child was found in the forest. And most of them are children around three years old.

Especially the child who was killed, his heart and lungs were dug out with sharp tools, and all the blood in his body was drained. Only the expression on his face showed the panic before death.

Moreover, according to the family members of the missing and victims, there are no traces of strangers in the home, and there is nothing abnormal." Keith lowered his head and said, his words full of backup, and he cursed the murderer in his heart for being a scumbag!

When Perth heard this, he always felt a little inexplicably uneasy, and even seemed to be oppressed by a gloom, hanging over the tulip collar.

Inexplicable anxiety seemed to be burning his heart, and the uncontrollable anger and anger made him not only yell, "Check! Check them all! What does the Public Security Department do for food?! Is the night watch captain a pig who only knows how to eat?!"

"

For a moment, the hall even trembled slightly with Perth's roar, and a heat wave roared through the hall of the castle as the golden divine pattern on his forehead flashed.

Nader and Case seemed to feel tremendous pressure, and they knelt on the ground, not even daring to say anything unnecessary.

Case felt the trembling from his heart, because he knew that the anger of the gods, even for the weak and young gods, was superior to everyone.

Perth seemed to be aware of his gaffe. He sat on a chair surrounded by tulips, lowered his head and was silent for a while, then asked, "No need to kneel, tell me how long it has been since the missing children have been found. Have they been found?"

When Keith heard this, he stood up and said with an embarrassed and even frustrated look, "Please forgive me for my dereliction of duty, even though everyone in the territory is already looking for him.

But since there was an endless stream of caravans coming and going after the Sporui Festival, we haven’t found it yet.”

After all, this was the first time he felt defeated. However, regarding this strange case and Perth's inquiry, Keyes still expressed his conjecture, "Maybe there will be some evil supernatural power involved."

This is not good news, Perth frowned.

What kind of power is filled with such a mysterious atmosphere, and even cruel and tortured to death with such a ferocious appearance!

So Perth finally decided, "Is it still there now? I want to see it." Perth asked.

Nader hurriedly said, "People from the Public Security Department have been called to guard the scene, and they will ensure the safety of the scene as soon as possible."

"Call Mr. Chuck, let's go now." Perth thought for a while and said.

In this regard, we need archdruids like Old Chuck who specialize in magic and nature to be more comprehensive. They are synonymous with wise men.

.........

When Perth arrived at the Yuxi River where the crime occurred, he discovered that it was a remote corner not far from the porcelain factory. Because the water flow was slow, it was once a place where many children of porcelain factory workers usually played in the water.

Now, people from the Public Security Department have guarded the entire place with solemn expressions, making people feel intimidated.

As soon as a few people dismounted, the faces of Perth and Old Chuck became a little solemn, and even Perth's face became a little disgusted.

Because there is still a residual evil and turbid atmosphere in the air. Although it is very weak, as a new god, Perth is extraordinarily sensitive to this atmosphere.

Old Chuck relied on his half-elf characteristics as a great druid and followed the smell of rusty blood before smelling a slightly raised earthen bag.

Especially when I saw the bright red buds on the soil bag, I even looked a little frightened, as if I had thought of something terrible.

Keith looked at the expressions between the two of them. He had some suspicions in his heart. He couldn't help but go to Old Chuck who was observing carefully. He knelt down next to Old Chuck and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Chuck, what are you doing?"

Did you see anything unusual?"

"When the child's body was found, was his head in the same position?" After hearing Case's quiet inquiry, Old Chuck asked solemnly after being silent for a while.

Keith's face turned stern, and the guess in his heart became more and more certain. He said in a low tone, "Is there something wrong? The child's head is right on top of this little bumpkin."

When Old Chuck heard this, his thoughts turned out to be true. This completely confirmed his suspicions and the ancient rumors.

He also said with an extremely serious expression, "This is the bud of the red fruit that can only grow on the contaminated land if it is pure blood that has been infected by a special evil ritual. It is also called the "blood fruit."

Legend has it that a long time ago, the five-headed dragon mother and the tyrants’ favorite fruit was also a sacrifice to the fallen god and the fruit of the contract in the fallen ritual.”

"People are actually worshiping ancient evil gods?!" Case was shocked and furious, thinking that this is simply a bastard and a scumbag!

Old Chuck knew that even if Case was a Golden Knight, he would not know this kind of forbidden technique that had been banned for a long time. He smiled bitterly and explained, "It would be nice if it was that simple, the so-called fallen consciousness.

The sacrificer used the red fruit as a contract sacrifice and used his soul to communicate with the abyss seal of Tartarus in exchange for the power of Tiamat, the five-headed dragon mother.

In the eyes of those cultists, this is called "the favor of the Goddess."

Keith's eyes widened when he heard this, and he said angrily, "It's so stupid and ridiculous that someone would kill innocent people indiscriminately and create evil in order to imprison their souls in the abyss of hell forever!"

After recalling the memory of the ancient bloodline as a god, Perth asked strangely, "Wasn't this ancient evil contract wiped out by the gods as early as the golden age of the Gods?"

In response, Old Chuck shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Crimes and chaos have never disappeared, they just hide in corners that we have never seen, and they are always gathering momentum."

Perth recalled the memories in the inheritance, and the cruel fighting and the ferocious mouth suppressed his heart like a dark cloud.

The serious face made people dare not approach him, and he said coldly, "The really terrifying thing is that the transformed tyrant, as a slave of the five-headed dragon mother, has no sense at all.

There is only bloodlust and the desire to fight, almost like a mad beast.

Therefore, we must stop him as soon as possible!"

Of course Old Chuck knew that, even though he knew that such rituals were weird and hidden, looking at Perce's serious brows that could kill a fly, he still said, "Don't worry, I will let the birds and beasts in the forest be my

Eye.

As long as we destroy the Hexagram's contract ceremony, we will definitely be able to stop his evil."
