After the five people searched carefully, they finally found the remaining ten churches that had not triggered the idol process.
Xu Zhilan asked: "Now I have found it, but what is the mechanism that triggers the process of the idol?"
When he asked, Xiao Zhimiao and others looked at Xuanye. Two statues had been triggered so far, and he was the only one to trigger it first.
Xuanye said: "Have you seen the magic circle outside the church? This is the triggering mechanism. A witch needs to enter the church and pray to the statue, and the magic circle will be triggered and become a safe spot. Monsters will not dare to come in. .”
Darcy said: "I feel that the church is safer than the hotel. It's really strange. Obviously the witch is the villain in this dungeon. The players capture the witch, but the witch can provide players with a safe place."
After Xiao Zhimiao memorized the remaining locations, he looked up from the witch hunting map and said, "This safe spot is not provided for players, it's just that we happened to come in."
According to the original settings of the dungeon, the Witch Hunting Hotel is the safe spot for players.
Darcy asked again: "If this safe spot is provided by the witch god to her followers, why is no witch willing to enter this safe spot to escape?"
"The witch Xuanye chased seemed to me to have triggered a mission point. I deliberately brought him here, then activated the magic circle to advance the side mission."
Darcy's questions and analysis were on point. Xiao Zhimiao's eyes flashed, and the two processes of this side mission felt a bit contradictory.
There is no problem in capturing the twelve red-haired witches, but triggering the twelve idols provides a safe spot for the witches, which is not the style of this dungeon.
This dungeon was made for her. She learned from Daphne that Sethia had failed many times, which also confirmed that the ending of the witches in this dungeon must be extremely tragic. The gods above would not allow such blessings for witches. place exists.
However, even though the safe point was triggered, not a single witch took refuge in the church. The defensive magic circle covering the church was even stronger than the witch hunting hotel. They could take refuge in the church.
If you are afraid of players coming to catch you, you don’t even need to open this defensive magic circle for them.
These witches are the NPCs in this dungeon, and they are set according to the stories that have happened. They only know that there are witch hunters, and they will not know the existence of this special group of players in advance.
To the witches, there is no difference between the players and the witch hunters, they are both the ones trying to catch them.
The basement she discovered in the hotel was the hiding place of the witches.
Isn't it safer in a church than in a basement?
Is it because hiding in a church dedicated to Scythia is too obvious?
For this reason alone, it is only in line with the logic of the original story. Those witch hunters and divine messengers want to oppose the capture of witches. The first thing they want to do is destroy the gods they believe in and destroy the church dedicated to Scythia.
But she saw that the church had not been taken care of for too long and looked a little dilapidated. It had not been damaged, which meant that one of these witches or Secia had a way to hide the church.
Xiao Zhimiao's brain was spinning crazily. She rubbed the witch hunter map in her hand, connecting all the tasks and characters she met together.
She thought of the conversation the witches had with Daphne when she handed her over to the Holy City.
They said they asked her to destroy a curse seal, and what she speculated was that Secia had the twelve most powerful red-haired witches create a powerful curse seal that was so powerful that even she could not easily shake it.
And those witches would rather be caught than go into the church to hide. This is like a hint.
The magic circle did not prevent her captors from entering the church. After opening the magic circle, she was willing to be captured.
You need to activate the magic circle, but you can't hide here.
Twelve red-haired witches, twelve idols, a curse seal that hides great danger...
The anxious conversations among the witches and their worries about this curse seal are also worries about Sethia.
If this curse seal is what she suspected, it is a
It can be an extremely dangerous curse seal. So at this time, Scythia still has the identity of a god. This curse seal must not be allowed to exist. At this time, Scythia is a target of public criticism in the divine domain, and his every move is monitored by other gods. With.
I'm afraid her followers are not only worried about Scythia's own safety, but also worried about her plans being discovered by those above.
If it was to remain undetected, the church would have to be destroyed.
Secia must also know all the tasks and procedures of this dungeon. The church was destroyed, so she could hide her plan without being discovered by the people above.
But if after the defensive magic circle is turned on, the church is still in good condition and serves as a safe spot for players, it will soon be discovered by the system or the gods above.
The curse mark that is set to track the witches, even if there is a way to hide the church, other witches or now Xiao Zhimiao will be discovered by tracking the curse mark.
She finally felt that something was wrong. The mission advancement mechanism of the Twelve Witch God Statues was supposed to destroy the twelve churches dedicated to the Witch God.
Secia took advantage of the darkness under the lamp to hide the powerful spell she ordered the twelve red-haired witches to create.
These twelve churches can be used as missions to destroy, just like the twelve red-haired witches. During the long-term worship of Sethia after she became a god, she must have laid a very strong curse seal, which is why she is so powerful. The source of magic power is the place that the gods above must destroy in order to restrain her.
But now, because the players' missions have advanced, the dungeon has given them a wrong signal, making them think that the church is another place that provides them with a safe place.
She was trapped by this copy.
The magic circle that required a witch to come in and pray was only the key to unlocking the hidden curse seal. The witch who was supposed to lead her to discover the key was used by the copy system to blind her thinking.
Xiao Zhimiao felt a chill in her heart. She trusted the system so much that she forgot that the system was not hers alone. She was only served by one of the managers of the system, who could not control everything but only shared information.
So even if the system that serves her is on her side, other system managers cannot interfere with her system when they receive instructions from other gods.
There must be some kind of restricted surveillance here. Once prompts and interference are made, it will be too obvious, so the system does not dare to prompt her.
After each copy is created, the main system will operate on its own, and any ending in the copy is set, unless she directly uses her night witch's divine power to destroy the copy, as she did in the Golden Village before.
Even if the gods above have authority, they cannot control them as they wish. After all, even Zhao Chengming, a player who has not yet truly become a god, has the means to block them.
So they just input the instructions, and the copy will interfere with her according to their instructions. The ultimate goal is to make her fail to pass the level.
She has seen how intelligent the system is. To say that she and Cyannia are gods, the systems that operate and control everything behind them are more like gods.
It’s just that the system also divides workers and bosses.
After Xiao Zhimiao smoothed things over, she stood up and walked out. Xu Zhilan saw that she was thinking about it for a long time and suddenly wanted to go out, so she immediately followed her.
"Xiao Zhi, what did you find?"
"Yeah, but I have to verify it first."
Xiao Zhimiao walked to the door of the church and saw the looming magic circle pattern, so he squatted on the ground and started drawing.
This magic circle covers the entire church, and the whole picture cannot be seen from the door, but this is the magic circle set up by Sethia, and it is also hers. She does not need to see the whole picture, she can also complete other parts that cannot be seen based on part of the pattern. .
After a while, she drew the curse seal of this magic circle.
This is just a defensive magic circle with hidden attributes. Although it is powerful, it has nothing special. .
Xiao Zhimiao looked at the curse mark she drew on the ground for a while through the light of the lighting props, and then reached out to erase it.
Her eyes moved to the tracking seal on her wrist.
The curse mark had been shining on her hand all night, and she didn't pay much attention to it.
Now she had to destroy the tracking seal before anyone from the Holy City followed her.
But now she has to find the curse seal that Sethia has hidden here first.
She stood up from the ground and entered the church again.
"What are you looking for?" Xu Zhilan asked.
"Looking for my stuff."
Xiao Zhimiao gathered the newly restored crimson magic power in his hand and was about to use it when he saw the thousand threads in Xu Zhilan's hand winding out from his fingertips and heading towards the statue of Sethia.
She took back the crimson magic power and watched as thousands of threads wrapped around the statue.
As if the statue was being affected by something, a faint crimson light lit up on its body. The hands that were originally clasped with palms facing inward turned to face outwards. A crimson curse mark flew from the palms of the statue towards Xiao Zhimiao. .
Xiao Zhimiao stretched out his hand and grasped the curse seal in his palm.
She opened her palm and looked at the curse seal, and found that it was just a fragment of the curse seal, not complete.
She wanted to follow the fragment and draw the remaining part, but her fingers couldn't continue after just two strokes.
As she expected, this curse seal was created by the twelve most powerful witches. It was divided into twelve pieces and placed in the church to absorb the faith-enhancing magic power.
This is a lock that even she cannot open, and she must complete the remaining eleven fragments of the curse seal.
To make such a curse seal, what kind of thoughts and determination does Sethia have at this time?
Xiao Zhimiao closed his palms and received the curse seal in his palms.
She said to Xu Zhilan: "Xu Zhilan, take your symbiosis curse seal back."
Xu Zhilan's magic power has bottomed out, and the symbiosis is still connected to her.
Xu Zhilan frowned slightly, "You have to scratch yourself again to destroy the tracking seal."
Xiao Zhimiao: "Do you have any other ideas?"
Xu Zhilan took a deep breath, and with a flash of light in his hand, he put back the Symbiosis Guardian Spell.
Xiao Zhimiao took out a dagger and slashed his wrist neatly, and the blood that flowed out burned away the tracking seal.
