The Righteous Player(s)

The location of Blood Butterfly Valley is not far south of Nata County.

　　Natta County is in the northwest corner of Noah Kingdom. On the map, it is about ten o'clock.

　　 Going out from Natta County, going south over Mount Velen, is a village.

　　The villagers living here are not the same as the extrajudicial madmen in Nata County.

　　 This is already a city close to the border of civilization...While being inaccessible, it also means that many curse materials are easy to obtain. Many merchants who sell curse materials occasionally come here to exchange some materials with the villagers.

　　 Some distance east from here is the Zedi Black Pagoda.

　　 Many wizards from Zedi Black Tower also come here to exchange living supplies with the villagers.

　　—In fact, the village itself is a ritual.

　　Because from Velen Mountain further south, directly opposite is the entrance of Blood Butterfly Valley.

　　 Zedi Black Tower used the "vitality and civilization" of the village itself as the hub of the enchantment and blocked the Blood Butterfly Valley. Prevent any blood butterfly from breaking the barrier and leaving.

As long as you are bitten by a blood butterfly, you will get a strange disease that cannot be cured and can be transmitted-as long as you are injured, the blood will not stop, just like hemophilia... and once their blood leaves the body, it will become new Blood butterfly.

　　 You must use the bishop-level powerful magic to dispel curses, or simply replace the blood of the whole body once to be treated...It is completely useless to simply take medicine or use healing magic and rituals.

　　 can only restore the wound to a healthy level at best, if it is injured again, it will return to the previous state.

　　 And if these blood butterflies are killed, they will immediately regenerate in the Blood Butterfly Valley; their number always remains at 178, and if new ones are added, the ones born at the beginning will also decrease.

　　 Therefore, the Zedi Black Pagoda blocked the entire Blood Butterfly Valley-blocked both ends with landslides, and blocked the upper part with a barrier. Afterwards, all the external blood butterflies were killed... and the blood butterflies were reborn in the cage.

　　 A disaster was eliminated in this way.

　　 This enchantment is not only a "blocking" effect.

　　 There is no shortage of stupid and bad villains in the world... Such an important enchantment naturally depends on how to prevent them from breaking through from the outside.

　　The way that Zedi Black Tower thought of was to use the unnamed village at the foot of Velen Mountain to cover the entrance of the Blood Butterfly Valley.

　　 They used a large-scale ritual called "Bad Fate".

　　 This ritual is actually a curse-roughly speaking, its effect is to make someone never see their lover or any key item anymore. In this way, they can pass by in the street, or even if they are back to back, they will never find each other's vicious effect.

　　 Through this effect, the wizards of Zedi Black Tower set the "Party A" in the curse ritual as the people in the entire unknown village, and the Party B as the enchantment above the Blood Butterfly Valley.

　　 Then the wizards of Zedi Black Tower, let the villagers entertain the guests warmly, and built a large number of vacant houses for the villagers and tourists to live in.

　　 Through the combination of curses, a wonderful effect is formed.

Anyone who walks forward from this village or is about to return to the village after exploring-that is to say, anyone who regards this "village" as a foothold or entry point will be cut off from the enchantment above the Blood Butterfly Valley "Fate".

　　 They couldn't see the barrier, and the barrier itself concealed everything inside the Blood Butterfly Valley. And the south of the Blood Butterfly Valley is the endless poisonous swamp... the only entrance is in this unknown village.

　　This causes everyone who hears the legend to explore the "Blood Butterfly Valley" from this unnamed village and the mountains to the west.

　　 But they can't see anything.

　　 Therefore, the Blood Butterfly Valley has become a "legendary" place.

　　Many people even doubt whether it really exists...because many explorers have not found its true place.

　　 And the core of "Ritual: Falling Fate" is kept by Hugo Pagoda Master. Only he can lift this ritual and expose the Blood Butterfly Valley.

　　 The reason why the former "Blood Hand Brothers" slaughtered in Nata County left the legend of "Blood Hands on the Window".

　　 Actually they tried to find the Blood Butterfly Valley... but they didn't find it.

　　-and now, this ritual has been broken.

　　Annan took a deep breath.

　　He is standing in the wreckage of this unknown village right now.

　　 Yes, wreckage.

　　 The house has been completely burned down, and the bodies are scattered all over the place.

　　Most of them were adults-they died in the streets with farm tools, bows and arrows and shotguns.

　　 know it at a glance.

　　 That is the trace of the spell left by the transcendent.

　　Some people seem to be shot out by something invisible, the bones of the face and chest collapsed and deformed, and the whole person was embedded on the burning wall;

　　Some people are pierced by a row of sturdy black ground thorns protruding from the ground, fall on the ground thorns obliquely, and blood coagulates on the ground thorns, making them appear a distinctive reddish brown under the sun;

　　Some people were drowned on dry flat ground, some were burned to ashes out of thin air, some were as dry as firewood, and some fell from high altitude...

　　 It looks like there have been so many wizards here.

　　 But Annan knew... These were all made by Nicholas II.

　　 The vast majority of his subjects are elderly, women, and children, and only about six or seven are adult men.

Probably at this stage of "capture", the villagers with combat capabilities-such as butchers, blacksmiths and hunters, resisted his capture ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and were killed by his spells. Too much.

　　 The rest of the people were scared, and Nicholas was locked in a cage-dragged into the Blood Butterfly Valley.

　　 Nicholas was obviously aware of the essence of this ritual.

　　 But he didn't have the courage. Like a spiritual monk, he went directly to the Black Pagoda in Zedi to fight against the Pagoda Hugo master.

　　 Or it may be that the Chengling monk died in the Black Pagoda of Zedi, so that he did not dare to repeat his behavior.

　　 And Nicholas has been silent for so long, obviously he has figured out another way to solve the "dismemberment".

　　Since this is a ritual to hide from the destiny level through this unknown village...

　　 He simply killed or abducted all the villagers, leaving no one in the village, and destroyed and burned all the industries and all the residential fields-conceptually, to make this village no longer exist.

　　——But Annan knew that if Nicholas II really wanted to go to the Valley of the Blood Butterfly, he actually didn’t need such a complicated method at all.

　　He is a golden-level transcendent, and his subordinates also control many fallen ones.

Since he has all researched out, the shielding method of the Blood Butterfly Valley is "ritual: the misfortune", he can directly climb the entire mountain range-from the rugged mountains, it takes half a month to reach the Blood Butterfly Valley. . Those insects, snakes and beasts that can easily kill ordinary people can't hurt him at all.

　　——He definitely knows this way.

　　 But Nicholas II did not do this.
