Everyone in the temple has always been in a misunderstanding.

Everyone, including Xia Zuo, subconsciously believed that a strange demon whose name he had never heard of must come from the stars.

But there is obviously another possibility.

That is, this strange demon existed a long, long time ago, but for some reason, it has never appeared in the temple's sight in its true form.

The full name of this alien monster is Thordick Black Flag.

What kind of strange demon it is is currently unknown, but the legends related to it have long been familiar to all temple members.

The first pure-blood mage, Winster Bergust, the founder of the totem and spiritual sect, the shaman ancestor, Quapulos of the Bloody Dawn Legion, the founder of the Temple Tribunal, etc., have left a great reputation and legacy in history. , historical celebrities who once stood at the pinnacle of bloodline power and elemental power, but suddenly died suddenly, disappeared, or were sent to the execution ground by their own people, are all the dead souls of Sodik Black Flag.

Yes, the above famous figures all died at the hands of Black Flag.

So how did Black Flag do it?

The answer is to be a traitor, to seduce corruption, to incite hatred.

Black Flag's ability is similar to that of a half-blood mage. It also has the ability to disguise itself as an ordinary human being, but it is more powerful than a half-blood mage.

After disguising itself as an ordinary human being, it can safely pass the detection of conventional detection spells without worrying about being discovered.

With this unique advantage, Black Flag has been lurking in human territory for a long time, performing sabotage missions behind enemy lines.

The Strange Demon Church's evaluation of the Elemental Demon Temple is "difficult to defeat".

But they must defeat the Elemental Demon Palace (Note ①), which is the task set by Vasak Sat. (Note ①: The Elemental Demon Temple is the name given to the human temple by the Strange Demon Church.)

For this reason, Black Flag was entrusted with an extremely difficult task - to appear in the human territory with a new identity, to become an important figure in the Elemental Demon Palace before Master Vasaksat arrived, and to fight with The army of the Strange Demon Church should cooperate with the outside world.

In the end, he defeated the Elemental Demon Palace in one fell swoop as a gift to welcome Master Vasaksat.

The codename of this mission is [Candied Poison Pill] - the implication is that Black Flag packages itself as an emerging talent with superb alchemy skills or mage attainments, mastering multiple key alchemy techniques or spells, and is extremely useful to the Demon Palace. With the development potential of attraction, he can gain the attention of the Demon Palace and rise to a high position.

In previous missions, Black Flag had at most acted as a stoker, pushing some people to oppose the leading figures among humans at that time.

This time, the Strange Demon Church wants it to become an important member of the temple.

The difference in difficulty between the tasks before and after can be said to be worlds apart.

To become an important member of the temple, you are bound to accept the loyalty ceremony and accommodate the light element. This is undoubtedly a huge challenge to the firmness of Black Flag's stance.

The Strange Demon Church was mentally prepared for the failure of the Black Flag mission, but when Black Flag really lost contact and had no news, the Strange Demon Church inevitably fell into controversy within the Church.

There are two factions in the church.

One is the subversive faction that advocates dismantling the Elemental Demon Temple from within. The representative "masterpiece" is the massacre in Tambus State and the sabotage actions of many alien demon cult teams in the Demon Temple territory. They advocate using less cost to destroy the foundation of the Elemental Demon Palace.

The other is the war faction who advocates violence and violence. Due to the high difficulty and huge consumption of violent troops, once a war begins with the powerful Elemental Demon Palace, it will inevitably be life and death, so this faction was a minority before Black Flag disappeared.

After Black Flag disappeared, the two factions had a fierce dispute, and finally decided to search for Black Flag on a limited basis and take the initiative to contact it.

Many secret locations in the Western Continent and Eastern Continent have become the first stop for strange demons to search for black flags.

At the same time, the Strange Demon Church sent a large number of strange demons to sneak into these secret locations. Qualuowuqi, the blood demon searching for the Western Continent, is one of them.

The search turned out badly, with Black Flag completely missing.

When the subversive faction failed, the war faction completely took over all authority within the church and decided to execute the all-out war plan at all costs:

Dig out the family fortune, launch a general attack on the temple, breach the creation hall of the temple in one fell swoop, destroy the creation crystal, and eradicate the foundation of elemental magic and elemental alchemy.

If Black Flag really became an important figure in the temple as it said, it would definitely cooperate secretly with the church's army and support the church with intelligence resources.

Even if he didn't get the support of Black Flag and didn't dispel the smoke of creation, he would definitely satisfy Vasaksat who was about to come.

Even if the war on the ground is not over yet when Vasaksat comes, or the church of strange demons falls into a disadvantage, it doesn't matter... it's still better than being discovered by Vasaksat that the strange demons are fishing.

After reading Kadum's translation, Kristo felt two big mountains weighing on his heart.

One is that Black Flag may have infiltrated the temple and become a high-ranking member of the temple.

This piece of information that is difficult to distinguish between true and false will inevitably trigger a serious crisis of trust in the temple. Anyone who can match the time and place will be forced to accept the review of the Inquisition.

The worst thing is that this piece of information clearly states that Black Flag’s goal is to [become a high-level member of the temple].

Members who can enter the meetings of the two temples belong to the upper echelons of the temple.

There are hundreds of people here. Does everyone have to be examined by the tribunal? Considering the ruthless methods and harsh attitude of the Inquisition, it is not a mess.

Kristo had serious suspicions that this piece of information was fabricated by the senior leaders of the Strange Demon Church to do ideological work for total war. The purpose is to use the unwarranted secret help of Black Flag to improve the morale and cohesion of the alien army.

The second thing that made Kristo feel a lot of pressure was the arrival of Vasaksat.

According to the deciphered intelligence content, Vasaksat will appear outside the smoke of creation in 12 to 16 months at most.

If the temple had not defeated the Strange Demon Church before Vasaksat came, it would have fallen into the unfavorable situation of being attacked from both sides at the interface between the ground and the starry sky.

It’s not all bad news in terms of translation information.

The Strange Demon Church's assessment of the temple's strength became good news for Kristo to comfort her.

In this world, the people who know the most about the strength of the Temple are definitely not the Temple members themselves.

Due to the existence of the confidentiality system, even members of the two chambers cannot know all the research results of other departments.

As a pure-blood mage, Kristo didn't know what special alchemy props the Alchemy School had, just like other departments didn't know that among the pure-blood mage there was Xia Zuo who mastered the [Hemogen Servant].

When she thought of Xia Zuokrestuo, she turned her head slightly and looked at the figure sitting on the chair staring at the translation in a daze.

A confused look flashed in Kristo's eyes, and an unexplainable question appeared in her mind.

Assume that the information about Black Flag is true.

The evil in such a strange demon cannot be washed away. It is like a stubborn stone covered in dung. Even if it is washed hundreds or thousands of times, it still emits a stench.

It can evade conventional detection spells, so how can it avoid detection by the Demon Hunting School?

Since it wants to become an important member of the temple, how can it gain the trust of the light element?

Can it gain the approval of the light element?

While Kristo was thinking deeply, Xia Zuo was thinking about another thing.

He was now almost 100% sure that he was absolutely inseparable from Black Flag, and he already had a clear guess in his mind.

Black Flag - Goldfinger - Xia Zuo.

In this chain, the golden finger is likely to act as a sealing container. Goldfinger sealed Black Flag within his body and used Black Flag's power to strengthen Xia Zuo.

For example, the rewards given by Goldfinger after he completed certain tasks, as well as the free attribute points given after each upgrade, obviously did not appear out of thin air, but were stripped from the sealed Black Flag.

When Xia Zuo met the Pillars of Creation and saw his spiritual ocean, he guessed that the Golden Finger was nature's fourth attempt to fight against strange demons, and it was a pilot project on him.

Now it seems that this speculation may not be tenable.

Black Flag may be the key to Goldfinger.

So, where did the golden finger come from?

have no idea..

"Hey" Xia Zuo let out a long sigh and rubbed his brows a few times, with a look of distress on his face.

Kristo heard this long sigh and thought that Xia Zuo also thought that the Tribunal might comprehensively review the matter of the members of the two halls, so he comforted:

"Xia Zuo, there is no need to be pessimistic. Reviewing the behavior of the top leaders of the temple will involve a lot of people and things. The meeting between the two temples will focus on the trial matters and will not let the Tribunal run wild."

Xia Zuo was startled for a moment before reacting.

He nodded and said, "I hope so. I'm actually not worried about the trouble that the Tribunal's review will cause me... I just feel powerless and helpless when I think about the devastation caused by a full-scale war between the Temple and the Strange Demon Church."

Kristo pondered for a moment, "The defensive blood magic puppet you equipped Rexor and the others is very good. I think you can study it carefully and try to make a blood magic prop that can be recognized by the two halls meeting. Really If you get to this point, you can use your blood magic puppets to protect the battle mages of the Templar army."

Hope flashed in Xia Zuo's eyes!

yes!

If the red vest can be fully promoted, it will really be possible to regenerate energy while sitting at home!

"Kristo, what should I do? Is there any example for me to refer to?" Xia Zuo asked.

"Yes, there are quite a few." Kristo thought for a moment, "For example, blood pattern gems and blood pattern crystals that can detect blood pattern characteristics in a wide range are blood magic alchemy tools jointly developed by Letunia and I. Like. This kind of blood magic prop developed for non-pure-blood mages requires safety first, and convenience secondly..."

Kristo spent some time explaining to Xia Zuo how to make magic learning tools that can be widely recognized by temple mages.

Xia Zuo took note of the other party's words carefully, and felt that a broad road to improve vitality was opening in front of him.

His mood improved a lot and he no longer worried about Goldfinger and Black Flag.

"Thank you, Kristo." Xia Zuo thanked the other party sincerely, "I will study it carefully after this mission is over."

He looked at the translation on the table and asked, "Do you think this information is credible? There is one thing that seems strange to me... How can a powerful monster like Black Flag sneak into the temple and become a demon in the temple? An important member? Isn’t it afraid of being discovered by the Demon Hunting School?”

Kristo frowned slightly and said, "I was just thinking about this question... Just ask Rexor, the master demon hunter is the expert in this field."

Xia Zuo recalled the bald head's perspective in his mind.

Rexall was resting in a temporary camping tent. He was a little tired after running around for two days and two nights.

He drank fruit wine and took refreshing medicine in order to relieve his fatigue as soon as possible and start his journey again.

A thin line stretched out from the red vest, outlining text in front of him, telling Xia Zuo all the information he had obtained from the headquarters of the Strange Demon Church.

Rexor suddenly stood up, waving his arms as if he had a sudden realization, excited and surprised, "Haha! So that's it, so that's it. No wonder there are so many places where there are abnormalities in the power of blood. Damn it The bastard actually took the risk and disintegrated himself!"

"Decompose?" Xia Zuo was confused.

He controlled the silver sand palm, wrote down Rexor's words on the notepad at hand, and presented it to Kristo.

When Kristo saw the word [decomposition], she also looked enlightened, "This makes sense."

She looked at the confused Xia Zuo and said, "Do you still remember that a blood demon can form a high-level blood demon with other blood demons by making a contract?"

Xia Zuo nodded.

Kristo continued, "If the condensation of blood demons into high-level blood demons is regarded as [aggregation], then the dispersion of high-level blood demons into blood demons is called [decomposition]. The former is a process of [promotion] , the latter is [downgraded].”

"You mean, Black Flag used decomposition to turn himself into an ordinary person, losing all the characteristics related to strange demons, and then joined the temple?" Xia Zuo touched his head, feeling a little incredible and unexpected The devil can still play like this

"Yes, this is very likely." Kristo said, "Those places where abnormal bloodline power occurs are where Black Flag decomposes itself. The reason why it is not in the same place and decomposes in place at once is because It’s too powerful and will cause drastic changes in the location.”

Kristo said while thinking:

"And the reason why it chose to disintegrate itself in the temple territory is also very simple. It is covering for itself. Everyone related to the abnormal situation of bloodline power will become the object of suspicion of the temple. Black Flag uses these people to interfere. The sight of the temple so that you can better sneak into the temple."

"So, people like me are less likely to be suspected?" Xia Zuo thought for a while and asked, "Where is the black flag? Has it entered the temple?"

"It's hard to say." Kristo was a little confused. "The Black Flag may be among the people with abnormal bloodline power, or it may come into the sight of the temple as an ordinary person. As long as it does not violate the laws and always maintains its disguise, , it’s hard for us to find it, but there is still a way.”

Kristo suddenly frowned, "Why did I forget the [Thorn of Sin]? It's really bad. If Black Flag really disintegrates himself and joins the temple with an innocent identity, then all detection methods will be invalid, and the judgment will be invalid." The court will use the [Thorn of Sin] on all those involved. Only this disgusting but accurate thing can truly find the Black Flag."
