For the next two days, everything was calm. It was hard to believe that there were still several powerful demon hunters lurking in the town. Hao Ren and Vivian were very concerned about the movements of the demon hunters. Lily was a little worried if the demon hunters found the entrance to the Ancattero mysterious realm in advance. They might destroy the clues of the Shade of Chaos and the sealed ruins. This was also what Hao Ren was worried about. But two days had passed. The MDT's monitoring of the energy field near the town showed that nothing had happened. It seemed that the demon hunters had not found a way to enter the mysterious realm.
Hao Ren did not know how the demon hunters were going to open the entrance to the mysterious realm without a guide. But thinking that they had arrived here a few days ago and had not taken any action, it seemed that they had not cracked the strange seal of the Golden Manor. So, it seemed that they did not have to worry about the demon hunters getting in first.
In these two days, Hao Ren had also asked the MDT to use various technical means to find the entrance to the mysterious realm, including looking for clues in the sunlight, as the spirit detective Pierre had said. But in the end, all these tests were to no avail. Without knowing anything about the Ancattero family's ability, finding the mysterious realm was like looking for a needle in a haystack. As powerful as the MDT was, it was powerless when it did not even know what it was looking for.
While Hao Ren was doing these useless things, Vivian and Y 'zaks did not stay idle. They did a little search in the town and found some clues of the demon hunters' activities. Although the clues were very subtle, it was not difficult for an ancient otherworldling and a powerful demon king to find them. Vivian also believed that the demon hunters also knew that they were coming. She smelled some very subtle magic power in the air, which was spying and interrogating from some hidden corners. The magic power came from the demon hunters, but it was not enough to cause a conflict.
As she said before, the demon hunters of Hasse's generation knew when to stop. They chose the safest way to express themselves after knowing that the Countess of the Crimson Moon was here. They kept the right distance to observe and "question" Vivian and Hao Ren. This distance would not anger the Countess, but it was enough to send a warning and alert message.
In response, Vivian also left her own rune during the event. The content of the rune was "Don't bother me — for now."
It was a subtle and peculiar confrontation. Both sides were aware of each other's existence, but they kept a safe distance from each other. It was difficult for the younger generation of demon hunters and otherworldlings to understand and learn such complex communication patterns. Only the older generation like Vivian and Hasse had this kind of tacit understanding.
Ordinary people probably could not understand how the two sides, who were mortal enemies, could get along like this. But if they thought that the war could last for 10,000 years, it was not surprising that things would turn out this way.
Finally, it was time to meet up with Wayne Walter. Hao Ren and the rest waited for the vampire patriarch at the rendezvous point outside the town. Lily seemed a little impatient. She had been a little impatient since she knew that the demon hunters were here. "Why did Wayne dawdle for two days? He knew that the demon hunters were here, but he still wasted time. What if someone beat him to it?"
"He said he was going back to prepare the items needed to open the mysterious realm of Ancattero." Vivian rolled her eyes. Wayne had told them this before they came here, but Lily was too busy gnawing on the bone at that time and did not hear it. "The mysterious realm of Ancattero needs a special item to open it. Originally, his family always had such an item, but the investigators who were sent here had used it up. He had to prepare it at the last minute."
"Oh," Lily answered and continued to look at the empty field in boredom. "Then why isn't he out yet? I looked at my watch. He's late for a long time!"
As soon as Lily's voice trailed off, a calm and gentlemanly male voice came from not far away. "I have prepared everything as soon as possible, but it seems that I have kept you waiting."
Hao Ren followed the voice and saw a pale Wayne Walter walking toward them. The vampire patriarch was wearing a black trench coat from head to toe and a sombrero on his head. But the person behind him surprised Hao Ren: it was not the guide that he had expected, but Hesperides.
Vivian waited for Wayne to come closer before she said, "It's okay. You are right on time."
Lily immediately shouted, "Battie, don't you look at your watch? He's late by a few hours."
Vivian glanced at Lily with a poker face. "Next time you go out, remember to adjust your watch according to the time zone. Your phone is still in Beijing."
Lily was speechless.
Hao Ren greeted Hesperides and asked Wayne curiously, "Didn't you say you would bring a guide? Why are you two here? "
"I am the guide," Wayne's pale face was expressionless. "This is the result of my careful consideration. The Shades of Chaos can be dealt with by the family guards, but the opportunity to work with the Countess of the Crimson Moon is not so easy to come by. I have lived a peaceful life for many years, and occasionally I want to take risks. "
Hao Ren looked up and down at the gentlemanly vampire patriarch. "Is this what you mean?"
He clearly remembered how the vampire patriarch argued with the other old monsters in the Athens' sanctuary. Knowing that the demon hunters were gathering in this place, the vampire patriarch, like the others, did not want to risk his life in this place. So when he said that he suddenly wanted to experience his youth, no one dared to believe him.
Sure enough, Wayne showed a cold smile. "It's just for show."
Vivian frowned. "You know that the Ancattero family has hidden the divine artifact?"
"The Solar Roulette." Wayne did not hide anything from Vivian. "I just learned about it not long ago. It seems to be the key to sealing the Shades of Chaos. I want to see what it is."
"You know that it is the key to sealing the Shades of Chaos, and you still dare to covet it?" Vivian shook her head in disappointment. "Did your father not teach you well?"
"No, he taught me well, so I won't be blinded by greed," Wayne laughed freely — or at least looked free. "Otherwise, I wouldn't be so honest with you. I just want to see that thing. It is the great power left by the Mythological Era, the glorious evidence of our ancestors. If you can reseal the Shades of Chaos this time, maybe the Solar Roulette will disappear from the world again. I want to see with my own eyes what an ancient artifact is before that happens. "
Vivian nodded imperceptibly. "Well, I'll take that as a sign of your awareness. But as far as I know, the Solar Roulette may have caused a scuffle between several families of gods in ancient times. It may be more attractive than you think. If you can't resist the temptation, I will have to teach you a lesson on behalf of your father. "
After Wayne made his promise, Vivian looked at her old friend. "Hesperides, you are …"
"As the representative and witness of the Athens' sanctuary," Hesperides said in high spirits. "You don't think it is a trivial matter to reseal the Shades of Chaos, do you? If you fail, someone has to go back and inform everyone to take refuge, so I was sent here. In fact, I wanted to send Hessiana, but I know your opinion, so I knocked the little girl out and tied her up in advance. "
Vivian was happy to hear that. "Sure enough, we have been friends for many years!"
"Let's put your friendship aside for now," Hao Ren interrupted. "Hesperides, you might meet an old friend here."
"Old friend?" Hesperides looked puzzled.
"Hasse," Hao Ren spread out his hand. "The one who cut a hole in your head."
Hesperides was stunned. She subconsciously touched her forehead. The wound that had troubled her for thousands of years had been repaired by Hao Ren with industrial machine tools. But the pain of the wound and the hatred of her family from thousands of years ago still weighed heavily on the goddess of the evening. The look in her eyes changed rapidly. Finally, Vivian held her hand. "Are you still thinking about revenge?"
"Phew …" Hesperides exhaled. "I told you, it's all in the past. I'm just a little surprised to hear the name. So, there are demon hunters here? "
Vivian nodded in a deep voice. "The demon hunters are also in trouble. I'm afraid this incident is very complicated. Wayne, bring your 'door-opening tool' and head to the entrance of the mysterious realm now. We'll talk on the way. "
