"Aren't you going to open it and take a look?" Irina asked as she walked beside Meg and looked at the black stone box in his hand.
"Before we can confirm if the thing inside will go out of control, it's better to find a safer and more suitable place to open it." Mag shook his head with a smile. He turned the corner and reached out to remove the mask that was stuck tightly to his face.
The effect of the face-changing mask that the system rewarded was indeed very good.
"You don't like this face anymore?" Irina asked as she looked at the mask in Meg's hand.
Meg kept the mask, and smiled at her as he said, "I like this face and my current identity even more."
Irina looked into Meg's eyes, and thought for a while before smiling. "It's pretty good."
"Have you made the arrangements on Ferdinand's side?" Meg asked as he continued to walk forward.
"I sealed him up and he's in a deep slumber. He can be brought up for interrogation anytime." Irina nodded slightly, and asked, "Do we need to inform Connie about this?"
"Let's not tell her first. This fellow is rotten to the core. Letting Connie know will only add to her troubles." Meg shook his head.
The two of them left the palace as they discussed. This was the first time Meg took off his mask to show Alex's appearance in order to gain Rex's trust.
Rex's existence was a little special. Although he was the deputy warden of Chaos City's Bastie Prison now, he couldn't simply belong to Chaos City.
As for the Falk Tribe, he only chose to stay because of Connie's grandmother and Connie.
Their attitudes toward the black fog and the devils were the same, so Meg wanted to use his sincerity to get him to stand on their side. At least they would be on the same side when it came to dealing with the devils.
Meg couldn't predict what kind of war this would be, so he needed more powerful allies.
In a cave outside the city, Irina waved her hand to undo the seal at the entrance, and the two of them entered successfully.
Ferdinand, who was covered with a thick sackcloth, was curled up in a corner. His face was as pale as a sheet, and he was in a deep slumber.
Between his eyebrows, there was a ball of black mist that had yet to disperse.
"Given his condition, will he be able to hold on for much longer?" Meg asked after checking on his condition.
"That's what it looks like on the surface, but his vitality is much stronger than it looks," Irina said without a hint of worry.
Hearing that, Meg ignored Ferdinand and took out the stone box instead.
The heavy stone box seemed to contain some kind of extremely dense metal. The palm-sized box actually weighed dozens of kilograms.
Irina waved her hand and set up several restrictions in the cave. She also looked at the stone box in Meg's hand.
"Let's see what the Urba tribe worshipped back then." Meg placed the stone box on a rock in the middle of the cave. Taking a deep breath, he opened the lid of the stone box.
A cold aura rushed out of the stone box, causing the temperature in the cave to drop significantly.
However, Meg and Irina's gazes were already attracted by the statue in the stone box.
It was a statue of a monster that made one feel disgusted and fearful at first glance.
It had the head of an octopus, the body of a human, and the wings of a bat …
Its entire body was pitch-black, but its eyes were blood-red, and there was a faint glow in them.
"C-Cthulhu?" Meg raised his eyebrows slightly. Looking at the statue, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"What a disgusting monster. Isn't this the indescribable thing that Lex described earlier?" Irina said with a frown as she resisted the urge to use Holy Light to destroy the stone statue.
"It should be." Meg nodded. Back then, the Urba tribe worshipped and believed in this evil god. In the end, it led to the terrifying calamity of the entire tribe's destruction.
Meg could already feel the temperature in the cave dropping. He frowned as he looked at the stone statue. It was indeed strange. It was even more majestic than the stone statue on the island in the Boundless Sea Realm.
"He's awake." Irina suddenly turned to look at Ferdinand, who was lying in the corner of the cave.
Ferdinand had already sat up silently. The ball of black aura between his brows started to spin crazily like a vortex, engulfing the wisps of black fog. His originally pure black eyes had already turned blood-red. He grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and smiled eerily at Meg and Irina.
"He's absorbing the power of this stone statue." Meg glanced at the stone statue's eyes that were gradually brightening. It seemed that some kind of connection had been built between Ferdinand and it.
"Holy Light." Irina raised her magic caster's staff. Holy Light lit up the cave like a sharp blade, cutting off the connection between Ferdinand and the stone statue.
The vortex between Ferdinand's brows collapsed. His body swayed, and he fell to the ground once again, unconscious.
Meanwhile, Meg closed the lid of the stone box, isolating the cold aura from leaking out.
Meg kept the stone box with a frown, and said, "It's been a few hundred years, and they're still haunting us. These things are indeed more troublesome than I thought."
Irina put down her magic caster's staff, and worriedly said, "If these fellows want to control this world, and there are still some idiots from the various races who only want to fight for territory, once the racial war starts again, the black fog will erupt along with it. I'm afraid we won't have the ability to control the entire situation.
"We have to let them know about these things during the peace talks between the various races this time …"
…
The incident at the Falk Tribe quickly spread to all the important places on the continent in various ways, and caused quite a stir.
"Devil … I didn't expect this to be the outcome." In the city lord's castle, Rolan passed the confidential, urgent letter to Michael with an unconcealable shock on his face.
"This …" Michael also couldn't calm down for a long time after reading the letter.
Michael was silent for a long time before putting down the confidential letter in his hand. He looked at Rolan, and said, "It seems like we have to change our strategy. If what Meg said is true, then no one can escape. We have to gather the strength of the various races and prepare to welcome the terrifying existence that might come."
"I'm afraid it won't be easy to convince those fellows." Rolan frowned.
"But we still have to do it …"
…
A horse-drawn carriage stopped outside Amy's. Vivian lifted the curtains, and looked at the notice hanging on the door with her hand under her chin. She sadly mumbled, "When will Mr. Mak come back? I've been waiting for the grilled fish for so long. "
"Didn't Mr. Meg get invited to cook for the Falk Tribe's conferring ceremony? The ceremony ended yesterday, so they will definitely be back today," Luna, who was sitting beside her, said with a smile.
"Never mind the grilled fish, but why can't we eat hotpot? Didn't they still have hotpot to eat when they went out the last time …?" Vivian grumbled. She hadn't eaten anything good for three days.
"Maybe they all left together this time." Luna shrugged, and guessed.
…
"I'm warning you again. This is the Marquis Family's shop. If you dare to come here again, I will arrest you and throw you into Bastie Prison for the rest of your life!" A tall orc pushed Raina out, and looked at Raina, who was lying on the ground, with his head held high.
