Pillar of Yita

Parker shivered in fright, clutching the door pillar and shrinking back, screaming, ”I’m not going in!”

Unfortunately, it wasn’t his choice to make.

At Fang Hong’s signal, Luo Hao grabbed this fellow and dragged him inside.

Abed looked rather calm, the owner of the lodge just lowered his head, pondering for a while, seemingly still thinking about the matter of the ’Blood Worm’. Upon hearing Fang Hong’s orders, he nodded and followed Luo Hao inside.

It was indeed strange.

Just as the three of them entered the cellar, the dense swarm of flying insects on the wall ’buzzed’ and flew apart, but as they were about to fly outside, the Holy Emblem of Ameya on Fang Hong’s chest suddenly emitted a brilliant light.

As the light passed, the insects on the ground and walls scattered as if avoiding a plague, eagerly trying to flee.

A large area in the cellar was immediately cleared.

Seeing this scene, Parker, who was being pulled by Luo Hao, stopped struggling, staring with wide black eyes, with a click of amazement.

Fang Hong looked down, a bit surprised, at the Holy Emblem on his chest, and couldn’t help but think that belief in divine power was indeed useful—maybe he should consider finding a deity to believe in, such as the Alchemist’s shelter protector, Angina would be a good choice.

But speaking of it, his cousin Tang Xin was a priest, a believer of Milaila, yet it seemed other than mastering some superficial healing magic, the Goddess of Life never manifested any miracles on her.

Is the difference between a false believer and a true believer really that large?

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but turn to look.

After all, they had lived together for over a decade, Tang Xin instantly understood her silly cousin’s thoughts, angrily saying, ”What are you looking at, I’m just a rookie priest, can’t have such ability to make Lady Milaila take care of me.”

Hilveld smiled slightly at the side, and said ambiguously, ”In fact, believers trusted by Lady Ameya like Miss Atira are indeed not many.”

Fang Hong listened and paused, feeling as if it was indeed the case.

He looked over at the Elf Miss, who still had a calm demeanor, seemingly indifferent to their discussion.

But discussion was discussion, he still turned and entered the cellar.

The space inside wasn’t large, the four covered their nose and mouth, enduring the discomfort brought by the stench, walking to the other end. Shelves were piled there, filled with bottles and jars, along with several white skeleton heads, bloodstained handsaws, and pliers type tools.

The four searched around, trying to see if there were any useful clues left, and the sharp-eyed Papalarian immediately spotted a bloodstained silver cup on the shelf. He stepped forward, tiptoeing to take it off the shelf.

Just as he retrieved the cup, before he could wipe it with his sleeve, he saw a dark centipede crawling out from inside the cup.

This horrifying scene scared the little guy into letting out a tragic scream, and he forcefully threw the cup, causing it to clatter to the ground. Meanwhile, he stepped back, bumping into a cabinet behind him, which creaked and tilted, seemingly about to crush him under.

Fortunately, Fang Hong was quick to react, using his hand to prop up and stop the cabinet from falling. But the cabinet door swung open, causing glass vessels to plink and plonk out like raindrops, shattering all over the ground.

Fang Hong looked down at these glass vessels, slightly stunned.

They were actually a set of alchemy vessels, similar to retorts, mainly used in distillation, condensation, and sublimation. In Eteliria, apart from alchemists and pharmacists, no one else would use such items.

This indicated that at least one Alchemist had ’worked’ here. But whether it was the Wandering Alchemist or not, at this moment in his heart, he clearly suspected the other greatly.

He just didn’t quite understand why the other party would take the initiative to expose themselves, creating such a commotion to take Yinhanz Type Four from ’Sand Lodge’.

If not for that incident, Princess Rupert might not have been in such a hurry to rush back from Bargo. The opponent exposing their own whereabouts, what exactly was the purpose? An unintentional act or was it to intentionally lure Princess Rupert to this place?

Thinking of this, he didn’t even feel like arguing with Parker, only pushed the cabinet back, and then turned to ask Abed:

”By the way, Mr. Abed, did you find any traces of the missing Yinhanz Type Four from ’Sand Lodge’ while searching here?”

Abed listened and shook his head at him.

”Given the size of Yinhanz Type Four, even if it was placed in the yard, it would easily be seen from outside. And the hall inside is far from capable of housing this Magic Guided Construct.” Fang Hong thought for a moment and replied.

At this time, Luo Hao came over and pulled Parker up from the ground. The Papalarian brushed the dust off himself, and said, ”I guess the opposing party must have virtualized the construct.”

”Oh, please,” Luo Hao said at this time, ”When have you heard that main constructs and Dragon Knights can be virtualized, otherwise why bother to use ’Glider’ for deployment?”

Parker was immediately dissatisfied at being refuted to his face, ”How do you know it doesn’t exist?”

Luo Hao looked at him and mocked, ”At least I’m not scared out of my mind by a millipede.”
