Pa!
Dempus snapped his fingers at the first moment.
The high temperature covered all the food on the table.
When the surface of the food was boiled, they could see that the inside of the food had completely rotted in a short period of time. There were already soft things like tentacles forming inside.
A normal source of pollution could not do this.
The ability to cause organic matter to mutate must have come from a life form outside the city.
The thing that emitted this special pollution was a dark grey coin inside the stone box. The material was unknown.
Ka!
After everyone saw the uniqueness of the coin, Abel immediately closed the stone box … Otherwise, if the pollution continued to spread, the people from the Adventurers Guild would find them.
"Abel, where did this come from?"
Han Dong could feel a pollution that was even purer than that of the Great Lord of Stuart from the surface of the coin. It was very likely that it came from a Hybrid Demon.
"I temporarily joined a special training group. It was completely different from the Knights' training … There was no fixed training location. We had to move every day. It was similar to a small scale expedition.
About ten days ago, the group found a Hybrid Demon's nest in Stoneshard Canyon.
The leader of the Knights asked us to suppress it and attack the nest.
However … "
Speaking of this, Abel's expression began to change.
"What's wrong?"
Everyone at the table was very curious about this matter. After all, it was related to the strange stone box and coin that Abel took out.
"There were only a few low-level demons that were born less than a year ago in the cave … According to the investigation of the scouts, there seemed to be a strange aura that did not belong to the inside of the cave.
At the same time, we also found an extremely deep secret tunnel at the bottom of the cave.
The secret tunnel led to the Holy City and was connected to the abandoned sewers.
According to the investigation, the entrance barrier of the sewers still exists … "
"But the other party went through?" Han Dong continued.
"That's right … The Hybrid Demons and their demons used some unknown method to pass through the barrier and have completely infiltrated the Holy City.
They could be hiding in the abandoned sewers, or they could be hiding in the commoner's district in disguise.
The information has been sent back to the Holy City. During this period of time, the Knights have been on the move … The Adventurers Guild has also posted many missions about searching the civilian area. "
"They still haven't found it?"
"No … there hasn't been any substantial progress on this matter."
When Abel said this, Han Dong already had a certain idea.
Demps, who was sitting opposite him, looked at each other. The two of them seemed to have the same opinion.
"There should be a mole in the Sacred City, right? First, they received 'visitors from outside the city' in the abandoned sewers. Then, they provided them with normal civilian identities.
After all, many people in the Civilian District died every day due to diseases, suicides, and strange occurrences.
By secretly disposing of the dead body without reporting it, you can free up an 'identity'. "
Abel nodded. "Indeed, I believe the Knights have also noticed this.
Therefore, we are currently investigating house by house … but we still haven't found anything. "
"You didn't notice anything at all? Only an in-depth investigation can reveal the truth. "Han Dong currently had very little information and could only make this much inference.
"Captain Abel, why don't you tell me what you have?
This thing must be closely related to the guy hiding in the Holy City, right? "
"The stone box and the coin … It's a bit embarrassing to say.
Because I was injured during the special training and my condition wasn't good, I didn't follow the team into the underground passage. Instead, I stayed in the grotto to guard it.
Because I was very tired, I had to maintain the owl posture to improve my concentration … Because of this, I accidentally noticed a mechanism in the grotto that corresponded to a secret room.
Before notifying the others, I secretly took the stone box that was placed on the stone platform in the secret room.
During the special training period, there were many people who did the same thing as me in private, trying their best to gain some extra benefits.
If this thing was submitted to the Knights alone, it would definitely directly increase my overall score in this special training … But after thinking about it, maybe we can use it to 'digest' it internally.
So, I called everyone here to discuss this matter. "
Han Dong asked, "In other words, no one knows about the stone box and the coin?"
Abel nodded. "Yes … If we can use this special evidence to find the [Hybrid Demon] hiding in the Holy City, we will definitely be rewarded.
This is the large-scale bounty issued by the Adventurer's Guild. Take a look first. "
[Large-scale Bounty]: Secret Stone Incident
Location: On the surface of the Holy City, all civilian areas.
Details: A kind of evil stone group has used special methods to sneak into the Holy City and lurk in the civilian area.
Difficulty: Unknown (In addition to ordinary evil creatures, this incident also involves a [Hybrid Demon]. The highest difficulty is beyond the range of Apprentice Knights.
In the case of suspected discovery of a Hybrid Demon, please immediately leave the scene and send the information to the Knights as soon as possible.)
Scale: Large-scale (This mission can be accepted by many teams. The reward will be based on the evil creatures killed by different teams and the clues provided by different teams.)
Time Limit: None.
Completion Condition: Until the Knights officially confirm and announce the death of the invading Hybrid Demon.
Mission Reward:
1. Kill and bring back an independent evil stone. You will be rewarded with 50 copper coins.
2. Provide the correct information about the [Hybrid Demon] to the Knights. You will be rewarded with 1000 copper coins.
Note: 1. This incident has a high probability of being 'contaminated'. Please wear the [Goggles] when carrying out the mission.
2. After completing the mission, you must go to the nearest church or precepts for baptism and 'stress' release.
There was also a portrait at the bottom of the bounty. It seemed to be an evil creature (Secret Stone User) that had been discovered. The skin on its face was slightly peeling off, revealing the dark stone structure under its skin.
…
As long as they could provide the correct information about the Hybrid Demon, everyone would be rewarded with 1000 copper coins. This was a huge amount of wealth for the Apprentice Knights. (Don't compare him to Demps.)
Han Dong pinched his nose and said, "Things are not as simple as they seem … If we want to go deeper into this incident, it will be very risky."
"What do you mean?"
"Captain Abel, didn't you just say that when we went deeper into the cave, we found a different scent that didn't belong to this group of [Secret Stones]? This incident might involve more than one Hybrid Demon … "
"Not to mention that there are people in the Holy City who are helping them … The secret behind this might be very deadly."
"Why don't we have a little gathering this time … Later, I will give this to my grandfather and let the Knights deal with it themselves?"
"It's a bit wasteful. Since we brought it back, why don't we investigate it a little … Abel, all the people who went to the special training outside the city came back, right?"
"Yes."
"Okay, I will call two 'reliable' friends over. Wait for a moment … When the time comes, we can split into two groups and investigate from different angles.
Once we find any danger, we will stop immediately. "
