Chapter 3318 [The Clown Theatre Troupe]

The bound Four-ring Warlock was quite panicked:

"I'm not a bad person. I just attacked you from behind, and it was not a fatal position! Believe me, don't touch the ring directly. I came here just to track this ring. That ring is not just an alchemy prop, it was stained with the power of evil spirits.

I know you are very strong, very strong, but never touch it directly.”

"oh?"

Xia De raised his eyebrows, but still squatted down beside the unconscious black-haired man. However, he had no rebelliousness, so he did not touch the ring, but just frowned and leaned closer to observe.

With his current perception ability, even without contact, this distance is enough:

"This is."

Xia De turned his head and looked at the Four-ring Warlock again:

"Introduce yourself, I need to know what's going on now."

And the other party could see that he had really encountered strong people in a big city like Tobesk:

"I belong to the [Harlocks Troupe]. I wonder if you have heard of us? Our group is not particularly large. We have been focusing on the art capital of 'Atek City'."

Xia De heard of the other party. When the leader of the [Dord Clan] attacked Miss Reinhardt near the spring, his guess about her identity included the [Harlings Theatre].

Most of the members of this ring warlock organization wear clown masks. It is said that the organization's main body is a troupe that is good at performing clowns - this is similar to the [Golden Dawn Opera House]. They are relatively neutral ring warlocks. Although they are distributed centered on the capital of art, they actually have activities everywhere in the Old Continent.

But the purpose of their actions was quite puzzling. Xia De had a limited understanding of them before, only knowing that they were always doing strange things, but he had never heard of them doing real bad things.

"I've heard of you."

After hearing what Xia De said, the ring warlock who was squirming on the ground was much more at ease, at least their reputation was not bad:

“My companions and I received orders to track down a group of evil followers in towns in the north of the capital of art, and the other party was spreading a terrible plague of thought. Before the end of the year, our troupe had a great battle with each other, barely expelling them from that area.

But many dangerous things in the hands of those evil followers were lost to ordinary people. I was ordered to track them all the way from the west coast of the old continent to recover one of the more dangerous ones."

He tried to sit up and found that Xia De had not stopped him, so he signaled that the ring he was looking for:

"On the surface, the ring was just attached with a 'strong charm technique', but in fact, anyone who touched it will be uncontrollable corrupted. Yes, anyone! Judging from the investigation I followed along the way, the final result will either become a pile of squirming pieces of meat, or be transformed into a terrible thing that looks like a human on the outside but is actually not a human being."

He tried his best to show Xia De his honesty:

"You can only use high-purity gold to isolate this effect. If you believe me, find a container of gold to pack it. Or if you have a way, you can destroy it now. After all, I'm not looking for it all the way to recycle it."

After saying that, I wanted to see what this strange "strong man" would do, but I found that Xia De looked at him with an inquiring look. After looking at each other for a moment, Xia De asked:

"What evil thing?"

The Ring Warlock shook his head:

"I can't say that I said that both of us may be targeted. The other party is very old and very powerful. Have you heard of the Pantanal swamp? The evil things that once appeared there are simply not as good as what I said. If you don't believe it, I can"

"No, I believe in you."

Xia De frowned and looked at him:

"You only need to answer one question from me - are the followers of the evil things you are talking about, "Apostles of Desire."

"You know?"

The strange ring warlock was shocked:

"Wait a minute, the followers of that thing will not have appeared in a big city like Tobesk, are you? Have you fought with the other party?"

"No, Tobeske doesn't have such things yet. I have encountered them in other places. They will not appear locally in a short period of time."

The mermaid knew that Shade was in Tobesk, and she would not easily expand her power to this side.

The bright yellow moonlight was lifted, and the ring warlock of the [Harlings Troupe] regained freedom. He put away his dagger and stood up to thank him, and then saw Xia De bent down and took off the ring on the black-haired man's finger.

Xia De even swallowed the flesh and blood of desire, and the ring with only its slight power certainly would not affect him. Direct contact made him finally fully confirm that this thing was indeed related to the mermaid. But it was not that the thing personally blessed, it was just related to its power.

When he was in the Vesta Woodland at the end of last autumn, Xia De had already discovered that the mermaid was expanding its power. In addition to the Moon Bay where its original body was, its followers also appeared in the woodlands in the hinterland of the Old Continent. Although the noble lady at that time gave him some help, Xia De still understood that "erosion of desire" was definitely not a phenomenon that was beneficial to the world.

With a click, the ring was bent directly by Xia De's two fingers, and then the ruby ​​attached to the power of the mermaid was pinched into debris by his right hand. He held all the fragments in his hand, and after the silver moonlight flashed, the remaining power disappeared.

But this is not the end. Xia De looked at the unconscious black-haired man again, hesitated for a moment and asked the Ring Warlock of the [Harlings Troupe]:

"If I want to use him to alert the church, a terrifying ancient evil thing is eroding civilization, can I just throw him to the church?"

"The Church of the Orthodox God should have known about the terrible enemy, but it can still leave him to the church. When the church examines his body, it will know what power he encountered. This kind of thing appears in the core area of ​​Delarion, and I think it will make the church pay more attention to that thing."

"So why are you going to be hostile to that thing?"

Xia De expressed his doubts. Although Xia De had lifted the other party's control, the Four-ring Warlock did not think he could leave at any time, so he answered honestly:

"We call ourselves 'harlequin'. Harlequin doesn't need to know its purpose. We just need to act according to the script we got."

But he paused and added:

"For those who tracked the thing, it was only started in the summer two years ago. However, our progress was not great. The power of that thing was quite hidden in the penetration of the city. Once discovered, it was basically equivalent to the large nests that had already appeared.

We have worked with the Church of Orthodox God several times, but none of these things will be promoted. If you know that thing, you understand that the more people know it, the stronger its power will be."

Xia De completely agreed with this point, and "desire" seems to have not been idle in the past two years. Xia De didn't notice its movements everywhere until last fall, because its power penetrated was indeed quite difficult to detect.

Most of its corrupt objects are ordinary people, and they are not interested in spreading any ideas and ideas, and will not create destruction or destruction. It just allows ordinary people to enjoy "desire" and then bring the ultimate pleasure to more people. Sometimes even if the police find them, they will only think that the nobles are having dirty parties.

Xia De even felt that perhaps the mermaid had never thought about developing any "follower" and did nothing, and humans were just following it spontaneously after breaking away from the seal of the Cold Water Port. It is the deepest mark of the soul of intelligent life. Even after experiencing so many things, Xia De dared not say that he is now more resistant than when he first saw it.

Maybe the resistance of the foreigners to the "mermaid" has been reduced compared to two years ago.

"Then you leave and take this guy away."

Xia De pointed at the black-haired man, "Harao" nodded and carried him up, but said before leaving:

"I will not mention your appearance to the Church of Orthodox God. Please keep this."

He threw Xia De a card, which was a circle smaller than the standard Rhode card, with pure black on the back and a "clown" pattern on the card:

"Since you don't like that thing, you are our friend. If you meet our people in the future, just show this clown card and others will know that you are the clown friend."

He thought of the scene where Xia De directly touched the ring, then crushed it and burned it. He thought that something big would happen, but nothing happened now. [The Clown Theater Troupe] purifying such items can be done using rituals passed down from ancient times or thrown directly to the church:

"We don't spread a lot of people all over the Old Continent, but we might encounter them again."

He nodded at Xia De for the last time, and after using invisibility, he carried the man away from here. Xia De looked down at the cards in his hand, and then thought that he promised to participate in the Rhode card competition after the festival before the end of the year. At that time, the special card that Vice President Mark promised to leave for him had not been given to him:

"This is a small storm. Tobeske shouldn't have any other changes because of this kind of thing. But the ring with the power of that thing pointed out whether it was a coincidence or it in front of me."

It took a long time to go to the bathroom this time. Xia De was worried about how to explain it after he went back, but when he returned to the VIP room, the ladies at his deskmate just looked at him with strange eyes. When Tifa helped him pull the chair open and let him sit down, someone covered his mouth with a fan and laughed.

"What happened?"

Xia De thought curiously, confirming that his illusion state was lifted, and there was no trace of something wrong with him.
