Chapter 25 The Eight Sages

As the sun sets, the vampires in the manor begin to stir, and people move about underground.

Mo Yu retreated to her room.

Give the "Research Record of the Origin of Magic in the Witcher" to Alpha, let it scan the contents of the record, search for keywords in the content, and compare it with the records in the historical database.

Alpha quickly provided an important clue.

It's about the Eight Sages.

Historical records show that every so often a powerful monster would appear who claimed to be one of the Eight Sages. Their titles, abilities, personalities, and purposes were all different, but the prefix for their self-proclaimed title was always "One of the Eight Sages".

"The 'king' loved power and was skilled at manipulation, establishing a monstrous fusion dynasty during the era of division."

"The 'Flower Spirit' is elusive and its abilities are mysterious and unpredictable. As long as you satisfy its curiosity, you can make a wish upon it."

“‘Abomination’ is a killing machine that indiscriminately slaughters lives. The Great Unification Dynasty established by the ‘King’ was destroyed by ‘Abomination’.”

"'Quantum' joined the Human Reconstruction Organization during the Destruction Era, providing important impetus for the organization's development. The research and development of most of the technologies on the space station are closely related to 'Quantum,' but detailed records related to it have been erased."

Alpha stopped answering.

There is very little information available.

Mo Yu stroked his chin, very curious about the Eight Sages. Judging from this situation, there should be four more Sages, but their deeds have not been recorded.

This research record must have been written by one of the Eight Sages who were active in that era, but they did not leave behind any titles.

Mo Yu opened the window to watch the sunset.

As he pondered what to eat for dinner, someone knocked on the door.

When I opened the door, I saw a maid carrying a box.

The maid handed the box to Mo Yu and instructed, "This was sent to you by the young lady. Eat it quickly, and go out with the young lady after the sun has completely set."

Mo Yu asked in confusion, "What are you going out to do?"

The maid said, "Have you forgotten what you said yesterday?"

Mo Yu immediately understood.

It's about Alice.

Elise is going to take action herself, so this matter seems very important to her.

The maid added, "According to our informant, the two major families and the Rift Moon Organization held talks last night. Starting today, demon hunters have begun gathering in Black City. It's estimated that a large-scale operation will begin in a few days. We should act sooner rather than later, because in two days the outside will be teeming with demon hunters."

"Understood, I'll go find Miss after I finish eating."

The maid left.

Mo Yu returned to her room and opened the food box.

Four dishes and a soup, plus rice, two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, a very refined meal.

The compensation is decent.

Have a delicious and satisfying meal.

He came to the bed, where seven or eight weapons were laid out. There were knives, swords, and spears, all of them magical weapons, because his ability to rewind was limited, which meant he needed many weapons.

He picked out a short spear about 1.2 meters long and wrapped it in cloth.

I'll use this tonight.

Spears are good things.

It can be thrown.
Rewind provides fault tolerance.

With a 100% hit rate and supersonic speed, he can snipe most monsters.

After instructing Alpha to scan the books, Mo Yu left carrying the short spear.

When he found Elise, he discovered that the vampire beauty had completed her transformation. She was wearing a black gothic-style long dress with red accents, black stockings and high heels, her hair was styled in an updo, she wore a lady's hat with feathers, and a black veil. At first glance, she looked like a classic and dreamy aristocratic lady.

The three arrived at the underground parking garage.

The maid drives the car.

Mo Yu, passenger seat.

Elise was in the back row.

The car started, left the underground parking garage, and drove along the outer ring road.

Tonight, there is no wind or moon; it's overcast, and the stars are nowhere to be seen. Outside the streetlights, it's pitch black—you can't see your hand in front of your face. Only when looking into the distance can you see the city lights shining through.

Alice lives on the other side of the city, in a large manor house on the outskirts.

Half an hour later.

The car was parked at the destination.

This place is very remote; there is no one else within a 2-kilometer radius, only a solitary manor standing alone. This manor is very unusual.

On such a dark night, the vast manor was completely dark.

It was pitch black, like a dead land.

A small silhouette emerged from the darkness, and a vampire crawled out, kneeling on one knee before Elise, saying, "Young lady, there's something strange about this manor. Whether we send out sentries or dispatch a small team, contact is quickly lost, and the teams that do enter are all elites."

"I see."

Elise answered, looking up straight ahead, her gaze piercing through the night and locking onto the manor.

Mo Yu was also observing.

Vampires have night vision, but Mo Yu doesn't; he can barely see the people around him. He's mainly waiting for the panel to display any prompts, but there's nothing; he can only see the vampires and bloodthirsty bats lurking around him.

His intuition told him that this place was dangerous.

Alice should have noticed the visitor by now, right? Given her attitude towards Elise, she should be going to confront her directly, shouldn't she?

Elise paused for a moment, then commanded:
"go in."

The maid and the little dwarf took the lead.

Both of them are knight-level vampires.

Elise is in the middle.

Mo Yu followed at the back.

The manor's iron gate was unlocked, and the little dwarf easily pushed it open.

Several people entered one after another.

After taking only two steps, the three vampires all stopped in their tracks.

For Mo Yu, this action was no different from groping in the dark. He bumped directly into Iris's back, took a step back, and whispered, "What happened?"

Elise said, "It's fogging up. Stay close to me. There's no sign of life here."

Mo Yu moved closer.

A pool of dark red blood spread out beneath Elise's feet, and crimson thorns extended out, spreading out from her to cover a 3-meter radius, protecting Mo Yu as well.

The maid and the dwarf became alert, their blood seeping from their bodies and coalescing into weapons in their hands.

Continue along the route.

A large fountain pool emerged from the mist, as if it had been abandoned for a long time.

The pool was empty, but it was filled with fallen leaves and other debris.

As the four approached, red lights appeared in the darkness and converged from all directions.

"coming."

The maid and the little dwarf rushed out, and various sounds came from the darkness: blades tearing flesh, metal clashing, eerie screams, agonizing howls, bones shattering, and so on.

Mo Yu frowned.

Without night vision, he couldn't see what was happening; he could only see the red dots disappear quickly as they were dealt with by the maid and the dwarf.

What made him uneasy was that there were no prompts on the panel.

Those red dots are not monsters.

He thought of zombie dogs.

There was no notification either.

In other words, what lurked in the darkness, trying to stop and ambush the group, was the monster's special ability, not the individual monster itself.

He found the owner of the zombie dog.

It really is related to Alice.

He just didn't understand what Alice was going to do.
Based on the intelligence gathered previously, her feelings for Elise are quite special.

Elise personally visited.

What does "ambush" mean? Are you planning to face the consequences of not being able to win back your wife?
As Mo Yu pondered, he sensed something approaching, but it was immediately torn apart by the blood-red thorns, leaving only blood splattered on the ground and a gust of hot, bloody wind blowing through.

He pretended to be scared and squatted down to hug Elise's leg.

Elise's displeased voice rang out: "What are you doing?"

"Young Miss, what's all around us? I can't see anything, and it feels dangerous here," Mo Yu replied, looking around.

Elise gave a soft hum, neither answering nor pushing him away, tacitly acquiescing to his actions.

Mo Yu quickly scanned his surroundings, pressing his cheek against Iris's thigh. If Alice was spying, she would definitely want to kill him; the moment she peeked out, she would be locked onto by the panel.
