Chapter 225 The Way of Black Sand
The canine subhuman man released a blue magic seal from his palm, which was water element magic.
"No need to waste time talking to her. Since she has discovered us, we can't stay here!"
The other two also cast ice and dark element magic.
The Saint shook her hand and said, "You three, can you still break through my defense? With your strength, since you have come to Oran Highlands and concealed your identities, I wonder what bad things your empire is planning to do?"
After hearing this, the dog-tribe subhuman man calmed down but said fiercely: "It's just a mission from the Third Reich. We need materials for refining magic tools, preferably the freshest ones!"
"Everything we do is just to follow the will of the demon, to make this world anew and create a new world without any physical defects!"
"We risked everything for a better world in the future, but you said it was a bad thing! You appeared quietly, could you be the Saint? You also found our whereabouts, was it a coincidence or did you deliberately approach us?"
The Saint shook her head and said helplessly: "The Black Hourglass Organization, as the face of an empire, is actually acting in the same way as the Magic Group!"
The dog tribe subhuman man smiled grimly and said, "We, the Black Hourglass, are different from the Magic Group. We don't talk about doomsday theory, but the new world after doomsday!"
The Saint was about to speak but stopped herself. After careful thought, these three people knew that the Saint was standing in front of them, yet they remained calm and dared to talk to them as if nothing had happened?
Unfortunately, now is not the time to take action. Let's see what means they have to escape...
At this time, two cat-like demi-humans were whispering behind their backs: "Is the Saint also a chatterbox? She must be, right?"
"She's not talking too much, but she's trying to get information from us, right? If she knew us well enough, she wouldn't be talking nonsense to us!"
"Your analysis makes sense. Why don't we think about how to find the materials to make the Magic Domain Music Box..."
Isabella had sharp hearing, but she couldn't understand what the Demonic Music Box was. Instead, she felt that it must be related to the foreign demon army and was probably a special magic tool!
Those two cat-like demihumans are quite smart! Whether to fight them or not, the key is to know what else they are planning, why they want to make the magic music box, and what is the function of that magic instrument?
Far away on the mountainside, when Isabella was sleeping lightly, Kokoro suddenly hugged Isabella tightly, his warm body pressed tightly against her, distracting Isabella and leaving her no time to sense what important information the Saint's replica had missed.
The saint was still in conversation. The three people in front of them knew that they could not compete with her. The dog-tribe subhuman man realized that he seemed to have been tricked into revealing some information, so he simply explained the black hourglass's position.
After a few moments of silence, the dog-tribe demihuman man spoke up, "Lady Saint, you must not believe in the world after the apocalypse, right? Black Hourglass will definitely survive to the end, and you are all people from the old world! You are just like those boring and stupid adventurers."
The saint's eyes narrowed slightly, and she floated in the air. The tone of her voice slowly rose with the height of her floating: "This is the first time I realize that I hate you Riddlers! Tell me why you are here!"
The dog-tribe subhuman male let out a low laugh, a snorting sound that was seven parts sarcasm and three parts provocation.
"What? You want to wipe us out? The three of us will never die! If you don't believe me, you can try it! So what if you are a saint? You can't escape the end of the world after all!"
After he said this, the Saint felt suspicious and couldn't help wondering: Are all the people in the Black Hourglass Organization so arrogant? They are obviously against the Saint's Guild! But before finding out their purpose, they need to find someone to investigate them in depth. If they rashly put the blame on the Coreroman Empire, the Saint's Guild's reputation will be no different from that of a bandit!
The saint only needed to think about it, and a space gap appeared five meters behind them. Three intermediate-level magic swords flew out and pierced their bodies.
The sword blades were hanging on their bodies, but there was no trace of blood. After three seconds, the three of them turned into a handful of black sand.
Isabella, who was far away, quickly turned over in her mind. It turned out that the black sand was their real body using the substitute scroll! It was a rare special scroll that she had only read about in books!
The Substitute Scroll happens to be one of the specialties of the Coreroman Empire, and it cannot be made without Black Spirit Sand.
They used the substitute scroll to move, and no matter what danger they encountered, it would not affect the main body! Although their strength was half that of the main body, with the strength of a mid-level magician as a substitute, it can be imagined that their main body's strength was at least the second-level intermediate level.
Far away in the Corey Roman Empire, the original bodies of the three Black Hourglass members felt that their substitutes had died. When the consciousness of the substitutes was transmitted back to their minds, the three of them felt a little panicked!
It's hard not to wonder if the chance of encountering the Saint in the Oberic Empire is greater? Because there are many Black Hourglass people in the Snow Fairy Kingdom, and none of them have been caught!
Isabella pushed Kokoro away angrily, secretly furious in her heart. The methods of the Black Hourglass Organization were even more conservative than those of the Magic Group!
After being pushed away, Kokoro rubbed his eyes, turned over, and fell asleep again with a snore.
The next day, the Saint's clone went to the Saint's Admiration Guild.
In the guild hall, Ling Yi, who was busy arranging work for new members, immediately perked up when she saw the Saint coming to the door.
Ling Yi began to introduce the twenty new members, who were the most powerful magicians on earth.
Everyone looked at her devoutly, and it seemed that the moment they saw the saint, there was a bright light in everyone's eyes.
"Ling Yi, don't you understand the actions of the Black Hourglass Organization?"
Ling Yi felt bad about this question. Recently, the Saint Maiden's Guild had been busy with recruitment, and there had been very few news about the black hourglass. Since he asked this question, it was obvious that he had encountered some big problem.
Ling Yi explained: "The members of the Black Hourglass Organization were formed spontaneously by many doomsday believers, and finally formed into a faction by Tolivia. Their actions are very covert. Most of the members of the Saint's Guild are combatants and lack the experience of the investigators of the Almighty Eye Organization. I wonder if the Saint has had any contact with them?"
"Yes, since the end of the monster tide, the world has been peaceful for several months. Despite the seemingly peaceful appearance, I don't know what the opponent is doing behind the scenes!"
Twenty or so new members noticed that the Saint was floating in the air. When she arrived at the steps of the lobby, everyone shuddered.
At this time, the Saint turned to the new member and said, "Members of the Black Hourglass Organization, use the Substitute Scroll. All the Black Hourglass members we encounter in the future are substitutes, not the real bodies! When we come into contact with them, they don't have any magic tools on them. It seems that they deliberately use substitutes to carry out dangerous tasks."
"However, the difference between the Black Hourglass and the Magic Group is the missions they perform. The former is good at secretly collecting monster materials to make magic tools, while the latter uses magic tools to cause trouble!"
"From now on, whoever catches the real body of the black hourglass will be rewarded with thirty silver coins!"
Ling Yi paused and said, "The Black Hourglass Organization was started by Tolivia! Could it be that they have some kind of deal with the Magic Group?"
"Shall we go to the Third Empire of Corey Roman with Shui Xi right away and have tea with that guy?"
