When Hao Ren returned to the Coldpath dimension, he was warmly welcomed by Lily.
The husky maiden grabbed his arm and gnawed at least 70 or 80 times until the Steel Membrane Shield glowed and Lily's teeth hurt so much that she could not bite anymore.
"Mr. Landlord, can you be a little more steady?" Lily glared at Hao Ren with her arms akimbo. "Are you trying to scare me to death by suddenly running out with such a big black thing in your arms? Don't you know that it's the same as charging with a nuclear bomb? "
Hao Ren was stunned by Lily's attack. He did not expect that the husky maiden would teach him a lesson. He always thought that the husky maiden only knew how to eat and sleep, but he did not expect that the husky maiden would be so concerned about her landlord at such a critical moment. Hao Ren was touched and depressed at the same time. "Err, I'm sorry. But do you think that as a dead husky, you're qualified to teach me a lesson?"
Lily howled and almost charged at him again. Fortunately, Hao Ren stopped her with a handful of spicy sticks.
Later, he understood why Lily was so caring. The reason was simple. She was a loyal dog protecting its master, and her instincts kicked in.
After losing the energy supply, the magical reaction in the ceremonial hall had calmed down. The powerful magical fluctuations had turned into a slow trickle in the rune array and were absorbed and dissolved by the demonic runes set by Y 'zaks. The unpleasant oppressive atmosphere had also disappeared. Even if the life-support collar was taken off, it would no longer affect them. Hao Ren looked at the situation in the hall and found a large scorch mark on the ceiling. Cracks almost covered the entire roof. The powerful dark energy had almost pierced through the palace of the goddess of creation.
But when he thought of an entire star exploding under the influence of dark energy, Hao Ren felt that the cracks on the roof were child's play.
The black Godslayer was still floating in the middle of the room, as if nothing had happened. It was spinning quietly in the air.
"What's the situation with the sword now?" Hao Ren asked the MDT monitoring the data. "Did it cause any more trouble after that?"
"After you moved the energy away, the magic reaction in the hall lost its support. Everything was over in a few seconds," the MDT reported seriously. "Now the sword is quiet. I have not found any communication between it and the outside world since I started monitoring it."
"But you said that this thing is still 'alive'." Hao Ren recalled the term that the MDT mentioned in the communication.
The MDT shook its body and said, "Yes, there is something running inside it, and it has not stopped since it started. Our destruction of the spell only ended its current quest thread, but it didn't affect the sword at all. "
Hao Ren carefully came to the side of the sword of the Godslayer and stopped only two meters away from it. He observed the strange shape of the sinful weapon. The sword of the Godslayer was like a fragment of the universe. When it rotated slowly, the tiny 'stars' on the blade were fixed in a certain position and did not move with the blade. So the sword looked like a crack that led to another world.
Maybe it really was some kind of fragment, a fragment that fell from the 'universe'. Maybe the stars on the blade were real?
At this time, Vivian's voice suddenly came through the communication channel. "Can I go in now?"
Hao Ren quickly stopped her. "Hey, wait! I have to put this thing away first! "
The sword of the Godslayer had gone berserk when it sensed Vivian's pure divine blood. For safety's sake, Hao Ren decided to finish the retrieval first. He opened his Dimensional Pocket and took out the silver-white metal box that was used to store dangerous items. He then released two autonomous robots to retrieve the weapon.
Two autonomous robots came to the side of the Godslayer and used their mechanical tentacles to carefully touch the strange black blade. Everyone was prepared for an accident, but in the end, nothing happened. The autonomous robots easily took the black longsword out of the levitating force field and put it into the recycling container without any incident.
He closed the container, set up the lock, activated the energy shield of the metal box, and put it into his Dimensional Pocket. After that, Hao Ren sent a message to Vivian. "It's done. You can come in now."
As soon as his voice trailed off, he saw a flash of lightning at the entrance of the ceremonial hall. Then, he heard a thunderclap on his head.
A swarm of bats flew into the hall and turned into Vivian in the air. She put her hands on her hips and glared at Hao Ren. "Can't you be a little more steady? How can you charge with a nuclear bomb in your arms? "
Hao Ren suddenly felt that this statement sounded a little familiar. He quickly pointed to Lily, who had just finished her snack and was busy licking her fingers. "She has already bitten me. Why are you still attacking me?"
Vivian continued to put her hands on her hips. "Nonsense. How can you listen to a husky's lecture? Besides, you just gave her a pack of spicy sticks! "
Lily counted her fingers. "It's half a pack. Mr. Landlord is really stingy."
Everyone was speechless.
"Okay, okay. Let's not talk about this for now, okay?" Hao Ren's hair stood on end as the bat and the dog stared at him. He quickly changed the subject. "At least it's settled. Now that the source of the accident has been recovered, does that mean the Coldpath incident is over? "
White Flame and Teuton had a complicated look on their faces. They were relieved that the incident was over, but also tired and emotional. Of course, they were also worried about the future of the demon hunters after such a disaster. But Vivian suddenly interrupted everyone's thoughts. "There's one more thing."
"What is it?" Hao Ren could not think of anything that he had missed out. Now that the culprit of the civil war had been safely recovered and the war in Coldpath had subsided, the remaining work and post-investigation could not be completed now. He felt that his job was done.
"The First Sage," Vivian said slowly. Her eyes fell on Claude and suddenly became a little fierce. "Now that the biggest problem has been solved, we can talk about this."
Claude had been standing on the side since the beginning, keeping a distance from Hao Ren and the others. The leader of the demon hunters, the attendant and herald of the First Sage, had maintained a commendable composure throughout the thrilling process. After the incident was over, he had been silent until now, as if waiting for someone to call him.
It suddenly dawned on Hao Ren that a very important person had been overlooked in this messy incident.
The First Sage of the demon hunters.
In the Coldpath Rebellion, the twelve sages held a strange ritual and then died tragically. The Council of Elders was involved in the war in a strange state of fanaticism and then suffered a crushing defeat. A 'voice' guided all this behind the scenes and commanded the whole war in the ceremonial hall in the name of the sages. This voice was still shrouded in fog.
However, in this whirlpool of chaos, a person who should have played the most important role had been ignored by everyone.
What was the First Sage doing?
The ceremonial hall, eleven piles of ashes, the banquet hall, and the remains of Beetholis. Only the whereabouts of twelve of the thirteen sages were certain, but the First Sage did not even show his face. Before this, Hao Ren and the others had no time to care about this matter. But now that the dust had settled, Vivian felt that it was necessary to let the First Sage out.
Claude remained silent after hearing Vivian's question. There seemed to be no change of emotion on his face that was always calm. Lily was an impatient dog, so she inevitably made a fuss. "Yes, yes, where is your supreme commander? What is he doing in such a big thing? "
White Flame and Teuton also looked at Claude curiously. Although they were both cadres of the demon hunters, they had never seen the legendary lord. They had only often heard the legend of the First Sage, or heard the words of the First Sage from a herald like Claude.
"If it is the First Sage you are talking about, I have never seen him," Claude finally said.
Claude finally spoke, but his answer was shocking.
"What did you say?" Hao Ren's eyes widened. "Aren't you the attendant of the First Sage?"
"The attendants of the past generations have never seen the First Sage. We just stood outside the door and pretended that there was someone inside," Claude suddenly breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had finally been lifted. He looked at the messy ceremonial hall, especially the piles of ashes in the corner of the hall. "The sages have become history, and I think this secret can no longer be kept. The First Sage does not exist. He has disappeared for thousands of years, almost when the demon hunters were first established."
The ceremonial hall was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
