I rely on myself

Chapter 228: The Great Mystery Begins

"Please forgive me, Marquis. Although we did not find the whereabouts of the escaped magician, we did find some useful information."

It was impossible for the three people below to say that they were not afraid of what the Marquis of Vauban said, but because of this, they had to give something to prove their usefulness, so as to avoid the wrath of the "king" from falling upon them.

There was no delay. No, to be more precise, there was no fear of delay. The man in the middle spoke directly.

"We found out why the magician showed up. He was preparing a secret ritual. Although we don't know what it is for, judging by the amount of materials he needs, it is undoubtedly a very large scale."

"Oh, are you sure?"

After finally hearing some useful information, Marquis Vauban calmed down his heavy demeanor. However, to be on the safe side, he still asked one more question, wanting to know if there was any evidence to prove this matter.

In this regard, the three people below had already prepared. They took out the sorted information, and one of them walked to the Marquis of Vauban with both hands, raised it above his head, looked like he was offering, and spoke.

"Yes, we can guarantee that this is true. At the same time, we have already compiled a list of materials purchased by the magician. They were all provided by the other party of the transaction. We have also confirmed that there is no forgery. Please take a look."

Marquis Vauban unceremoniously picked up the sorted information and glanced at it casually, and saw a lot of materials used in the secret rituals. Although the Marquis himself, as a godslayer, did not practice magic, he had lived for more than three hundred years and still had relevant knowledge.

In addition, one of his powers, "Servants of Death", includes a large number of famous magicians. After being exposed to them for a long time, Marquis Vauban has a very high level of knowledge about magic.

He also confirmed that the three people in front of him were not lying. The boy he hunted had collected a lot of materials for secret rituals. As for their purpose, it was not difficult to guess.

"Interesting." Now that it was confirmed, Marquis von Ban did not continue to pay attention to or embarrass the three people below, but began to think about the purpose of Lin Yuan's doing this.

Now the situation is very clear. Lin Yuan wants to achieve a certain purpose by holding the secret ceremony, which is nothing more than getting rid of Marquis Vauban himself. So according to this line of thought, Lin Yuan should want to summon the God of Disobedience to the earth.

If this is the case, Marquis VOBAN will indeed give up on him and turn to the God of Disobedience. As for whether he can do it or not, Marquis VOBAN believes that Lin Yuan has the ability to do so.

But when Marquis Vauban came up with this guess, he suddenly had an intuition in his heart that Lin Yuan would not do this. There was no evidence, no sign, just a simple hunch.

Although it was ridiculous, Marquis Vauban believed in this intuition. After all, the reason why he was able to become a godslayer and successfully kill gods many times afterwards was all thanks to this inexplicable intuition.

This time would certainly be no exception, so Marquis Vauban immediately discarded all the assumptions and evidence, and instead firmly believed in this intuition that came out of nowhere.

“Haha, hahahaha… Ahahahahaha, hahaha…”

Suddenly, the Marquis of Vauban laughed. He tried to suppress it at first, but soon he had no reservations and laughed out loud. And as he became more and more excited, the huge amount of cursed power in his body erupted like a storm, forming a physical hurricane and pressure that swept across the entire palace complex.

Everyone in the palace complex, except the Marquis de Vauban, felt their shoulders sink. Then, as if realizing something, they immediately knelt on the ground with looks of horror on their faces, no matter what they were doing.

Because they were all magicians and knew who lived in the palace, they acted like this because they all thought the King was angry. The three closest to him suddenly heard the Marquis of Vauban's laughter and felt the pressure as if it were real. Their bodies couldn't help but tremble, because the laughter clearly revealed excitement, joy, and anticipation.

Although they knew that Marquis Vauban was not angry, they were not very happy. Instead, they all had expressions as if they were mourning.

Why did he suddenly laugh? There was only one thing that could make the God Slayer, the most ancient God Slayer, so excited, and that was the battle with the God of Disobedience.

Thinking of this, the three of them couldn't help but feel dizzy. After all, no matter which country or person it was, no one wanted the battle between the God Slayer and the God of Disobedience to happen to them. It was undoubtedly a huge natural disaster, and would undoubtedly bring huge losses.

But no matter what, they had no other choice. After all, it was obvious that things had been decided, and they dared not and had no ability to stop it from happening.

Only the unbridled, excited and expectant laughter of the Marquis de Vauban resounded throughout the palace complex.

Time has come quickly, and today is the last moment of the old year.

It was already late at night. I looked at the time on my phone and it showed exactly eleven forty-five. In fifteen minutes, the old year would end and the new year would begin.

Normally, it should be time to go to bed at this time, but Lin Yuan had no intention of sleeping at all.

On the contrary, now I am outdoors, on a plain, with various lines and symbols clearly depicted on the vast open space, giving people a mysterious feeling.

Its scope is so vast that you cannot see its entirety from a close distance. Only by standing far away can you clearly see its complete appearance, a huge circular magic circle.

Even ordinary people who know nothing about it can see its power. Its wide range and precision are breathtaking, but this is not the most amazing thing.

Only an experienced magician could tell that this magic circle applied techniques from various magic systems, including alchemy, spirit summoning, celestial magic, yin-yang magic, runes, etc. There were so many of them that even the most knowledgeable magician might not be able to learn them all.

Not to mention that he was able to perfectly coordinate so many magic tricks together without any problems. This skill alone was enough to be regarded as a distinguished guest in any magic society.

Lin Yuan is now in this huge magic circle with a calm look on his face. Before it started, Lin Yuan was nervous and excited, worried that there might be some problems, and checked over and over again.

On the contrary, now that the secret ceremony is about to begin, Lin Yuan's heart suddenly calms down. He is neither excited nor pessimistic. Instead, he feels as clear and calm as the surface of the water. This is undoubtedly the best mentality.

The time was almost up, Lin Yuan stretched out his hand and pulled out the sword-shaped "steel" from the void.

"The time has come, I will usher in a new era!"
