The latest website: "This totem pole?" Vera Thothmuller stood in front of a totem pole, looking up and down the totem pole with doubts.

"Is it normal? Did you ask any questions?" The elf following Vera didn't see anything unusual.

"Of course there is a problem. This totem pole has been moved." After a green light flashed in Vera's eyes, she said in a very firm tone.

The totem pole they are checking now is the one that Leo moved before. Although Leo had made some repairs when he put it back, for Vera, these totem poles are like It was the extension of her limbs, she knew everything about the totem pole itself and the surrounding environment, and she quickly saw something was wrong and made the correct judgment.

While judging that the totem pole had been moved, Vera was also full of surprise and worry.

Because the totem pole in Huajing City is one with her, she should be able to feel any movement of the totem pole, but now that the totem pole in front of her has been moved, she didn't feel it at all until she saw The real thing is to see some clues from the surrounding environment and the position shift of the totem pole itself, so this makes her have to wonder whether other totem poles in the city are still as safe as she thinks.

"Has it been moved?" The elf immediately showed a worried look on his face, and hurriedly asked, "Has it been damaged?"

"No," Vera shook her head. Maybe she felt that her answer was too arbitrary. She reached out and touched the totem pole, and let her strength communicate with the totem pole, and finally came up with a more detailed answer. The situation, and replied: "Except for a slight change in position, the body of the totem pole is not damaged in any way, and there is no abnormality in the connection between this totem pole and the entire field."

"It's good that it's not broken." The elf couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

Although the state of a single totem pole is not enough to affect the entire confinement domain formed by the totem poles in Huajing City, but if someone can move this totem pole, it means that other totem poles are not safe either. Once the entire field of confinement is destroyed and the existence of underground suppression is released, the elf as a stand-in will be the first to bear the brunt, so she cares more about the totem pole than Vera, the totem pole's controller.

"Who did it?" After heaving a sigh of relief, the elf asked Vera again: "Without your cooperation, can the totem pole be moved?"

"Of course not." Vera gave a very affirmative answer at first, but then she said with little confidence: "However, this is not 100%, at least from now on, someone has mastered the ability to not disturb me and the entire confinement field." Ways to move this totem pole."

The elf asked very seriously: "What should we do now?"

"Of course it is to find this person and see if he is an enemy or a friend." Vera also gave her response.

After finishing speaking, she saw her put her hands on the totem pole, her eyes were slightly closed, and she was concentrating, as if she was sensing something. Then bursts of light green light waves shone from the totem pole, and these light waves were like It is like ripples in the water, spreading outwards. When it touches other totem poles, the other totem poles will also arouse the same light waves. In this way, this green light wave quickly spread to the entire Huajing City, even the surrounding areas of Huajing City. The zone is also covered by it.

At this time, Vera's originally relaxed expression became serious, and her brows moved slightly closer, as if she had encountered some difficulty. After the green light wave completely disappeared, she opened her eyes, and her slightly locked brows did not let go. .

"What's wrong?" the elf asked concerned.

"I can't find anything." Vera gave a simple answer.

The elf guessed: "The person who may have moved the totem pole has already left."

Vera shook her head and said, "I don't think he's gone, he's still in the city."

"Have you found any clues?" asked the elf.

Vera shook her head again, and said with some lack of confidence: "It feels like he's still in the city."

However, the elf didn't laugh at Vera's words. Instead, she took the uncertain words seriously, thought about it seriously, and said: "Your power is already very close to that of a demigod. Under the influence of the overall power of Huajing City , some of your abilities are comparable to those of a real demigod, such as your perception. Since you can perceive that person is still in the city through the totem pole, then that person must be in the city, but what kind of secret method did the person use to cover it up? If it exceeds your perception, it means that the person's strength should be about the same as yours." At this point, she couldn't help showing a trace of doubt on her face, and said: "In the polar mountains, is there anyone else who has extraordinary strength as powerful as you? "

Vera didn't answer, but she fell into deep thought because of her companion's words.

Although it is a bit arrogant to say this, she still thinks that in the polar mountains, there are people who can match her strength on one hand, and it is definitely not true that they can hide so thoroughly in her domain. Things that the few people she knew could do.

"Maybe there are no such people in the polar mountains, but what about outside the mountains?" Vera said to herself: "During the festival, many foreigners came to Huajing City to celebrate the festival, and now they are all trapped here and cannot leave. Will any of them…”

"Probably not?" The elf replied uncertainly, and added: "Didn't we all carefully check the outsiders in the city before? They seem to be just ordinary snowfield merchants, and there is nothing special about them. "

Vera said in a deep voice, "No, there is a category of outsiders that we haven't investigated."

The elf also understood what Vera meant, and said, "Are you talking about the missionaries of the Church of True God, or some families that set up a liaison office in the city?"

Except for a very small number of missionaries of the Church of True God who believe in asceticism, the rest of the missionaries choose a warm place to spend the winter after the winter in the polar mountains, and Huajing City, which is like spring all the year round, has naturally become their first choice for winter. When the first black storm blew into the polar mountains, the Churches of True God from various city-states and tribes would gather in Huajing City for the winter, which was called the Assembly of Believers.

This year, as in previous years, the missionaries of the Church of True God came to Huajing City early. Although the people in Huajing City did not treat them, they did not hate the money in their hands. The best garden villa in the city was rented to These missionaries, and these missionaries also know that it is impossible for them to find a believer in this city controlled by natural shamans, so they have stayed in their rented villas during this time. The security inspectors reported that the missionaries did not go out even during the period when the turmoil in the city was most intense.

Although the security inspectors have proved that the missionaries did not leave the rented villas, Vera does not particularly believe this report, because if there is really a mysterious strong man whose power reaches half a **** hidden among the missionaries, then this person It is impossible for the strong to let some security inspectors discover their whereabouts.

As for those families who set up liaison offices in the city, they include real outlanders like the Belmont family, and some big families from other mountain city-states and tribes. The reasons for these families to set up liaison offices are natural. It is the prosperity and special status of Huajing City. This kind of reason was accepted by Vera in the past, but now so many things have happened in Huajing City, especially the sudden war in the surrounding city-states and tribes and the influx of refugees that should not have appeared. , so that Vera had to wonder what role the outsiders in these liaison offices played in these matters.

According to Vera's thinking, at this moment, she should immediately organize people to investigate these possible outsiders, find out the hidden mysterious strongman, and eliminate possible uneasy factors, but her reason prevents her from doing so, because now this Doing these things with great fanfare at the time is likely to cause some unnecessary misunderstandings, and in that case, it will be self-defeating.

The elf seemed to see Vera's embarrassment at the beginning, so he suggested: "We can meet those people one by one in the name of the city lord and the management committee. The reason is the problem of food and accommodation for the refugees. I hope they can donate money to help the refugees survive this cold winter." , until the end of the war."

Hearing the elf's proposal, Vera was a little stunned, and thought it was a good idea, so she sent someone to the city lord's mansion and the management committee to get a letter of authorization, and then went with the elf, which made her doubt the existence of the most The garden villa where the missionaries of the Church of the True God of the mysterious strong lived.

When Vera and the elf were looking for the person who moved the totem pole, Leo, who was at the Belmont Liaison Office, saw Sylvia who should have stayed on Movit Road.

"Why did you come here?" In a small apartment building in the block where the liaison office is located, Leo was looking at his lover in puzzlement, took the cloak, shook the snow water that had melted into water droplets, and After the members of the Belmont family who were leading the way left, they asked, "Did something happen on Movit Road?"

"No, it went well." Sylvia said with a relaxed face: "I have found out the hidden creatures of the abyss in Movit Road and several surrounding city-states. Although there are still some abyssalists who have not been solved, they all It has already been targeted by the people of the local city-state, and it will only be a matter of time before they are wiped out. I came here mainly because I received an invitation from Vera Töttmuller."

"An invitation from Vera Töttmuller?" Leo was stunned, thinking of the conversation between Vera and her companion that he had overheard a few days ago, but he only heard that Vera seemed to want to hire Sylvia to help her. She solved the abyssal creatures hidden by other city-states and tribes in the mountains, but she didn't hear that the other party wanted Sylvia to come here, so she asked with doubts: "What did she invite you to do?"

Sylvia shook her head and said, "I don't know yet, but it should be related to the person in the abyss we guessed before." Then, she asked Leo, "How is your investigation going? Have you found that Tocatene?"

Leo nodded and said, "We have indeed found an abyss superior, but the situation seems to be quite different from our previous guess."

Afterwards, he recounted what he discovered a few days ago. Sylvia was also stunned for a long time after hearing this, and asked rather puzzled: "Can the power of nature be fused with the power of the abyss?" ?”

Leo replied: "I haven't figured out the reason yet, but judging from those totem poles, the answer should be yes."

Sylvia seriously recalled the natural totem poles she saw standing on both sides of the street after entering the city, and suddenly found that she didn't see any clues. Those totem poles were in her eyes and perception. It was the natural totem pole created by the natural shaman combined with some primitive priest techniques, which surprised her at the moment, so she couldn't wait to say: "Go, go and see."

After finishing speaking, he walked outside. Leo didn't say anything. He chased after her, put the cloak back on her, and came with her to the nearest totem pole at the Belmont Family Liaison Office.

After seeing the totem pole, Sylvia was no longer as careless as she had just entered the city before, but put her hand on the totem pole very seriously, carefully perceiving the situation inside the totem pole.

Because it was daytime, there were people coming and going on the surrounding streets, but they didn't pay much attention to Leo and Sylvia, who were behaving very strangely, because Leo had covered the surrounding area with witchcraft just now, confusing the people entering this area. In their cognition, Leo and Sylvia, who behaved rather abnormally, were just two ordinary men and women standing on the street and chatting.

However, at this moment, Leo's attention was not on the people around him, but on Sylvia's situation.

Just now, he wanted to tell Sylvia not to use his own strength to investigate the situation of the totem pole. Doing so would most likely cause the backlash of the totem pole field covering the entire Huajing City, and he would not be able to perceive anything due to interference It's useful, but Sylvia's movements are too fast, and he has already started to investigate the situation of the totem pole before he can open his mouth, which makes Leo have to concentrate on observing Sylvia's situation~www. lightnovelpub.net~ I am always ready to pull Sylvia out when the backlash occurs, or block the backlash for Sylvia.

However, the subsequent development of things was somewhat beyond Leo's expectations. Not only did the power inside the totem pole not resist Sylvia's probing action with the power of the abyss dragon, but it was suppressing the natural force on the surface of the totem pole to avoid interfering with Sylvia's investigation.

Because of this, Sylvia found out the situation of the totem pole very smoothly. While withdrawing the power of the abyss dragon, she also showed a look of surprise and displeasure on her face.

"Did you find anything?" Leo asked after seeing Sylvia exit the perception state.

Sylvia said with a serious expression: "This is not a totem pole at all, nor is it an abyss totem pole. This is a sacrificial pole, and it is a sacrificial pole fed with the flesh and blood of a magic dragon."

"Sacrifice pillar?" Leo's knowledge of the abyss did not contain relevant content, but Sylvia mentioned that the sacrifice pillar was fed with the flesh and blood of the abyssal dragon, which solved the problem that the backlash of the totem pole did not appear just now The reason, presumably, is the special role played by the power of the abyss dragon in Sylvia's body.
