Vivian swallowed the bloodstone, which had been formed in an unknown era. Everyone's eyes immediately focused on her, holding their breaths as they waited for the result. Vivian's analysis of the bloodstone was much slower than usual. She frowned slightly as she extracted the information contained in the bloodstone bit by bit. From her expression, the condition of the bloodstone did not seem to be very good.
Lily could not help but ask, "How's Battie? Sweet or salty? "
"The information carried by this crystal is very vague," Vivian said, glaring at Lily. She then explained to everyone. "I'm afraid it's quite old. The degree of dissipation of the information is almost the same as the one found in Inferno."
"That is to say, it's almost a relic from 10,000 years ago," Hao Ren said. He was not surprised by the age of the crystal. "Can you still read it?"
Vivian was silent for a moment. Her expression was a little gloomy. "No, I still can't read it clearly. I can only confirm that this crystal has a strong intention, which is to ask me to go to the north. There is something I left there. But there is also a message in the memory, saying that there is a very dangerous thing in the north. "
"The north?" Hao Ren frowned and looked at White Flame. "Do you know what it means?"
"Maybe it's referring to the demon hunter's fortress," White Flame said hesitantly. This was the first time she had revealed information about the demon hunter's headquarters to outsiders, not to mention to a group of otherworldlings. Even though she was mentally prepared, she was still a little hesitant. "The demon hunter's headquarters, Coldpath, is in the extreme north of the planet, near the North Pole," she said.
Hao Ren was stunned. After a long while, he said in a somewhat unreal tone, "So, the demon hunter's headquarters is in the North Pole."
A strange feeling of lack of reality came over him, and he did not know what to say. The demon hunters, the most mysterious supernatural group on Earth, were a powerful force that had not been seen through for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. Countless otherworldling families, including the powerful Ancients, had been searching for their base camp but to no avail. Now, their location was so easily exposed. It turned out that their base camp was in the North Pole.
Vivian said meaningfully, "It's said to be at the North Pole, but I don't think it's a place where ordinary people can 'reach' directly."
"Of course," White Flame said, nodding slightly. "The entrance to Coldpath is an ice fortress built in the crevice of space. This fortress stands on the Arctic ice sheet, but it can only be seen with special vision, and only those who know astrological spells can step into the fortress. In this era, humans have built research stations all the way to the North Pole. There is no place on Earth that they can't go. We don't want to be disturbed. "
"… Your Sage Beetholis only said to give me the crystal, but he didn't say anything else." Vivian got to her feet and moved her shoulders a little. "And the person who sent you didn't say why you came to us."
White Flame opened her mouth, but she was too embarrassed to say anything. At this moment, she realized that the whole thing was ridiculous. At the moment when the demon hunters were facing a crisis, why would a middle-level cadre like her come to a vampire elder? Ask for help? Seek refuge? Either way, it seemed a little absurd. The bloodstone might be able to link Vivian to the demon hunters, but Vivian herself did not find a clear reason to go to the North Pole. An unclear obsession was far from enough.
Master Teuton should have thought of this when he gave the bloodstone to White Flame. So, apart from the order to give the crystal to the Countess, Teuton did not give her anything else.
Teuton knew very well that he had no reason to expect a vampire countess to do anything. Everything was up to fate.
But just when White Flame thought that she had risked her life to break out of the siege was in vain, Vivian clapped her hands. "Shall we go and have a look?"
White Flame was the first to exclaim. "Huh?"
"If the demon hunters are all wiped out, it will be very troublesome for me," Vivian said with a strange expression. "Although you and the otherworldlings are sworn enemies, you are also part of the 'balance'. Perhaps the disappearance of the demon hunters is a good thing for the otherworldlings, but not today, and in such a sudden way. It will cause more problems."
White Flame was overjoyed, but she quickly calmed down. "Even so, how are you going to help us solve this crisis?"
"Don't be so sure. I don't know what to do," Vivian said, waving her hand. "I can only go and have a look. If it doesn't work, I'll fight my way to your sage and ask him. Anyway, since the bloodstone has been delivered, I can't just leave it alone. Am I right, Hao Ren? "
Vivian could not help but look at Hao Ren, waiting for him to make a decision.
"Of course," Hao Ren said without hesitation. "If the demon hunters are really wiped out, I don't know what to do in my year-end report. But before we go, shouldn't we find out how many people we have to deal with this time? "
White Flame was silent for a few seconds. "The Council of Elders is the largest combat group among the demon hunters. They have at least 120,000 elite soldiers, and the leaders of the Council of Elders are senior demon hunters. They can't be measured with simple numbers. In addition, we have to consider the thirteen sages. "
"Maybe twelve," Lily said, gritting her teeth. "Your first sage has been cooped up in his house for thousands of years. Maybe he's already dead."
"What's the difference?" Hao Ren knocked on Lily's head. "Isn't it still tens of thousands of soldiers?"
At this time, Y 'zaks, who had been silent all this while, finally spoke. "We need to think it over. This time, it's different. We're not going to solve a natural disaster, but a war. There's no shortcut. "
As soon as the old demon opened his mouth, everyone was convinced. Y'zaks was an absolute war specialist. With him here, no one else dared to talk about war in front of him. After all, he was the Lord who led the legion and almost pierced through the entire world.
White Flame was a little anxious when she heard the words "think it over". But before she could say anything, her body swayed and she almost fell. Vivian quickly helped her up. "Don't get too excited. You're still weak. Take a rest first."
"But I'm afraid our soldiers won't be able to hold on for long," White Flame said, panting. "When I broke out of the encirclement, the entire Coldpath was almost completely under the control of the Council of Elders. If they occupy all the nodes, fighting against them will be wiped out. Now, the Council of Elders will kill anyone who doesn't conform to their ideology, including demon hunters and otherworldlings!"
"All the ordinary demon hunters in the world can't defeat the Council of Elders?" Hao Ren was a little surprised by what happened in Coldpath. "You have at least several times the number of demon hunters, right? Doesn't the number matter at all? "
"You don't know Coldpath. The Council of Elders controls the core of that dimension, and they have invincible power," White Flame said bitterly. "Coldpath is the ruins of an ancient super civilization. Those ruins contain many powerful and mysterious forces. Back then, Sage Toberius guided that force to destroy Jotunheim. This time, we paid a huge price to take control of some of the energy nodes from the Council of Elders so that they can't activate those destructive devices. But they are still overwhelmingly powerful. "
Hao Ren really wanted to remind the young demon hunter that she should not make the situation sound so serious when she was asking for help. With just a few words, she had made the Council of Elders seem invincible. Was she not afraid of scaring away her helpers?
But there was an advantage to White Flame telling them the truth about the strength of the Council of Elders. That was, Hao Ren and Y 'zaks could more seriously and accurately analyze the strength of the guys they were dealing with. After a little analysis, the two of them felt that if they were to rush over and fight against hundreds of thousands of superhumans, they would be chopped into pieces.
So they needed reinforcements.
White Flame was not stupid. After she calmed down, she realized how tricky the situation was. She looked at the circle of people around Hao Ren and asked tentatively, "Is this all the people in your sanctuary?"
Hao Ren was thinking about which reinforcements to make up the number. When he heard that, he subconsciously replied, "Oh, yes … Uh, no, there's a cat upstairs watching TV. It hasn't come down yet."
Hearing this, White Flame almost went back to the medical pod and lay down.
"Don't faint! Don't faint!" Hao Ren quickly came to his senses and quickly explained, "I still have some men, but they are not local. I can transfer troops from other places!"
