The next two days were uneventful, unbelievable that there were several powerful witchers lurking in the town. Hao Ren and Vivien were very concerned about the movements of those witchers, and Lily was a little worried about what would happen if those witchers found the entrance to Ancatel's secret realm in advance - the clues and seal ruins of the Shadow of Chaos could be destroyed by them, and this was also Hao Ren's concern. However, two days later, the data terminal's monitoring of the energy field near the town indicated that nothing had happened: the witchers had not yet found a way to enter the secret realm.

Hao Ren didn't know how the demon hunters were going to open the entrance to the secret realm without a guide, but considering that they had arrived here a few days ago but had not done anything, they had not been able to break the strange blockade of the Golden Manor, so it seemed that there was no need to worry about them getting ahead for the time being.

In the past two days, Hao Ren has also asked the data terminal to use various technical means to find the entrance to the secret realm of Ancatero, including looking for clues from the sunlight, as the spirit detective Pierre said—but in the end, these tests have come to nothing. Finding a secret realm out of thin air without knowing anything about the Ancatero family's abilities is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and although the data terminal is powerful, it is powerless to do anything without even knowing what it is looking for.

Vivien and Itzhax were not idle while Hao Ren was doing these useless tasks, they checked around the town a little, and sure enough, they found clues about the witcher's activities, although these clues were very subtle, but they were not difficult to find for a super ancient anomaly and a demon king who was too strong to have friends. Vivien also believed that the witcher knew about her coming, and she smelled some very subtle magical power in the air, which was snooping and questioning information from some hidden corner, these magical powers came from the witcher, but it did not cause conflict.

As she said before: Hasselblad's generation of witchers know how to measure. After learning the news of Countess Redmoon's arrival, they chose the safest way to "express", and they kept a just right distance to observe and "question" Vivien and Hao Ren and her party, a distance that would not anger the countess, and at the same time be enough to convey a message of warning and vigilance.

In response, Vivien also left her own rune during the event, which reads "Don't bother me - for the time being".

It's a subtle and peculiar confrontation. It is a "peace and quiet" where both sides are well aware of each other's existence, but maintain a good distance, and it may be difficult for the younger generation among the witchers and aliens to understand and learn this complex mode of communication, and only the older generation like Vivien and Hasselblad have this tacit understanding.

Ordinary people probably can't understand how two camps that are mortal enemies can get along like this, but if they think that this war can last for 10,000 years, then it is not surprising that things have turned out.

And just like that, the time has finally come with Wayne? Walter agreed on the meeting day, and Hao Ren waited for the vampire patriarch at the agreed meeting place outside the town. Lily seemed a little impatient, she had been a little impatient since she knew about the witcher's movements: "Anyway, why did that Wayne have to wait for two days." He knew that the witcher was also here, and he was wasting his time, just in case someone else got ahead of him. ”

"He said he was going back to prepare the items needed to open the Ancatro Secret Realm," Vivien rolled her eyes, these things were things that Wayne had told everyone before coming here, but at that time Lily was busy gnawing on meat and bones, and she didn't hear it at all, "The Ancatro Secret Realm needs special items to open after it is closed, and his family originally had this kind of item on hand." But the few investigators who had been sent here had consumed everything, and he had to prepare on an improvised basis. ”

"Huh." Lily agreed, and continued to look at the empty field boredly, "Then why hasn't he come out, I've been late for a long time!" ”

As soon as Lily's words fell, a calm and personable male voice came from not far away: "Although I have prepared everything as quickly as possible, it seems that I have kept you waiting for a long time." ”

Hao Ren followed the prestige. Seeing a pale Wayne? Walter was walking this way, the vampire patriarch was wearing a head-to-toe black trench coat and a wide-brimmed top hat like something out of the movies, but the person behind him surprised Hao Ren: not the expected guide, but Hesperith.

Vivien waited for Wayne to approach before greeting lightly, "It's okay. You came on time. ”

Lily immediately shouted: "Bat, you don't look at the watch, he's obviously a few ...... late"

Vivian glanced at Lily expressionlessly: "Next time you go out, remember to match the clock according to the time zone, your mobile phone is still north. Kyoto time. ”

Lily: "......"

Hao Ren greeted Hesperith and asked Wayne curiously, "Didn't you say you came with a guide?" Why are you two here? ”

"I'm the guide," Wayne's pale face didn't show any expression, "it's the result of my careful consideration, those Shadows of Chaos can be left to the family's guardians to deal with, but the opportunity to act with the Countess of the Red Moon is not so easy to come by." I've lived a peaceful life for many years, and I've occasionally come up with the idea of taking risks. ”

Hao Ren looked the gentleman-looking vampire patriarch up and down: "Is this what you mean?" ”

He clearly remembered how the vampire patriarch had been involved with the other old monsters when he was in the Athenian Sanctuary, and after knowing that the witchers had gathered in this place, he was as reluctant as anyone else to come to this place, so no one dared to believe that he suddenly wanted to experience his youth.

Sure enough, Wayne showed a warm smile: "It's the scene." ”

Vivien frowned, "Do you know that the Ancatro family has an artifact hidden?" ”

"Sun Roulette," Wayne didn't hide anything from Vivien's questioning, "I also only learned about this thing a while ago, it seems to be the key to sealing the Shadow of Chaos, and I'm eager to see what it is." ”

"You know that's the key to sealing the Shadow of Chaos, and how dare you fight it?" Vivien shook her head in disappointment, "Didn't your father educate you well?" ”

"No, he's well-educated, so I won't be blinded by greed," Wayne laughed freely, at least as he looked, "or I wouldn't have been so honest with you." I just want to see something like that, it's a great legacy of the Age of Mythology, evidence of the glory of our ancestors, and if you can reseal the Shadow of Chaos this time, maybe the Wheel of the Sun will disappear from the world's sight again, and I want to see for myself what an ancient artifact is before then. ”

Vivien nodded in a subtle way, "Okay, then even if you're conscious." But as far as I know, the Sun Roulette had the potential to cause a scuffle between several god families in ancient times, and its appeal may be greater than you think, if you can't bear the temptation at that time. Confuse...... I'll have to teach you a lesson for your father. ”

After Wayne made a serious promise, Vivien looked at her old friend, "Then Hesperius are ...... you"

"As a representative and witness of the Athenian sanctuary," said Hesperius with a radiant look, "you don't think it's a trivial matter to reseal the Shadow of Chaos, do you?" If you fail, someone has to go back and tell everyone to evacuate, so I was sent here. Actually, it was Heatherian who originally wanted to come, but I know your opinion, so I knocked the little girl out and tied her up in advance. ”

Vivian's face was happy when she heard this: "Sure enough, it's a friendship for many years!" ”

"The question of your friendship will be put aside for now," Hao Ren interrupted, "Hesperius, you can probably meet an old friend here." ”

"Old friends?" Hesperius looked strange.

"Hasselblad," Hao Ren said, spreading his hands, "the one with the hole in your head." ”

Hesperius was stunned, and she also subconsciously touched her forehead: the wound that had plagued her for thousands of years had been repaired by Hao Ren with an industrial machine tool, but the pain caused by that wound and the family feud thousands of years ago were still pressing on the heart of this "goddess of twilight". Her eyes quickly changed several times, and finally Vivien took her hand, "Do you still want revenge?" ”

"Whew......," Hesperius exhaled, "I said, it's all over." It's just a bit of a surprise to hear the name out of nowhere. So there's really a witcher event here? ”

Vivien nodded in a deep voice and said, "The witchers are also in trouble, and this incident is probably very complicated. Wayne, take your 'door opening props' and set off for the entrance of the secret realm now, let's talk as we go." (To be continued......)
