Chapter 654 Experiment
Soon, just as the messenger had taken it out before, the red cup reappeared in Avis's hand.
Even without anyone's urging, it still exudes a juicy and restless aura of desire.
Similar to Avis's Seed of Desire, it is not actually a magical item, but a special existence composed of alien forces.
Just holding it like this, Avis can feel that the Seed of Desire in his spiritual space has begun to tremble slightly, with both fear of facing the superior existence and desire to go further.
However, at this moment, the ruby-like crystal of desire power in the cup has only half a cup left. The rest has disappeared, suspected to be consumed in the battle with Avis.
"Those sacred objects... Are you from the Church? No, it's impossible! Even the group of mad dogs in the Inquisition, they can only embrace darkness at most, but they will never embark on the road of desire!"
And on the ground, the messenger, who was imprisoned by spells, lay stiffly, and could only turn his eyes to watch Avis's movements and try to speak.
"You must have a connection with a high-ranking official in the Church! Only in this way can we explain the source of your strange items!"
"Whatever you think."
Avis smiled slightly, but did not directly answer the messenger's doubts.
After getting what he wanted, Avis continued to check the messenger and the eighth-level storm warlock's belongings beside him, intending to see if there were any unexpected surprises.
"... Your Excellency, there is actually no need for us to be hostile to each other. God's generosity is unimaginable to mortals. If your goal is these desire powers, then you can take them away."
While Avis was searching their belongings, the messenger spoke again, trying to turn Avis into his own people.
"Desire banquets like tonight are held regularly in many cities in the Federation.
If you agree to join us, we can provide you with more desire powers. If you are worried about the authenticity of my invitation, I can even swear to God."
"Oh, thank you for your "good intentions", Your Excellency the Messenger, but I don't plan to join you."
After checking the spoils, Avis shook his head and refused the invitation. Inexplicably, the messenger seemed to hear a hint of disappointment and...sympathy from his tone?
"With only these few things, I guess you all must have had a hard time?"
In the messenger's somewhat vigilant and unbelievable eyes, Avis returned the things to him, and then turned and left.
After Avis's figure disappeared for a while, the magic effect on the messenger was lifted.
After running the magic power a little and eliminating the discomfort in the body, the messenger looked at the direction where Avis disappeared and felt a little absurd.
Is he really that poor? Let the enemy disdain to accept even the spoils?
Or maybe the enemy did not take their personal belongings out of some concerns.
"Strange guy, he seems to know my identity, and his goal is very clear... I must report to the Apostle and the Marquis immediately. This incident is likely to be intervened by unknown forces."
The messenger stopped thinking and rushed back to the empire with his guards, preparing to report the situation of this incident directly to the people behind him.
.
….….
On the other side, after letting the messenger go, Avis returned to the venue.
He did not choose to kill the messenger, which would not solve any problems. At most, he would ask the marquises to increase their protection and then send more messengers out to continue to contact external forces in other places he did not know.
It would be better to take the cup and put the messenger back, so that they would be suspicious.
At this moment, most of the people in the venue had not yet dispersed, including the seventh-level city lord himself, and the professionals in the dance floor were basically in a state between coma and wakefulness.
The group of people from the [Starfire] organization did not seem to be present at the moment, and seemed to have left in advance.
As the deputy commander of Starfire, Shute usually had many things that needed to be reviewed and decided by him personally. This time, he came to meet the messenger and brought Roche and the other three to broaden his horizons, which had already taken a lot of time.
When the cup in Avis's hand reappeared in the venue, the scene just now happened again.
From the bodies of all the professionals who participated in the carnival feast in the entire castle, the faint power of desire began to overflow, and the bright liquid in the cup, like a ruby, began to gradually fill up again.
But correspondingly, as the source of the power of desire, those professionals who were originally in a semi-comatose state were constantly absorbing desire again, and now they have begun to develop into a deeper coma.
Avis is not sure what will happen if this situation continues, but it is probably not a good thing.
Sensing the changes in the status of these professionals, Avis raised his eyebrows slightly. Try to use the power of the seed of desire to construct a seal and wrap the cup inside.
The effect is not bad. Although it cannot completely block the passive effect of the cup, it can already suppress most of it. If the original speed of the cup absorbing the power of desire is 100, now it is only about 1 to 2.
Indeed, these people may not be good people. If they are judged according to the Imperial Code, what they have done is probably enough to execute them all.
But they may still be useful to him later, so it is better not to waste them like this.
After using his mental power to explore the situation in the entire castle, Avis held the cup in one hand and teleported to the open-air banquet in the castle courtyard.
Here, a large number of low-level professionals were lying here in a mess, with confused smiles on their faces, indulging in beautiful dreams, and unaware of everything around them.
Looking around, Avis controlled the magic power to move away the debris on the ground in front of him, leaving only a familiar professional lying in the center.
That was his acquaintance, the villain who had previously "knocked him out" and brought him into the castle, and exchanged him for the position of deputy captain of the city guard and a bottle of [Beast Blood Glory] potion. His name seemed to be Cohen.
He was smiling at the moment, and Avis tried to activate the spell-like [Dream Entering] attached to the old secret book, and peeked into Cohen's dream.
In the dream, Cohen seemed to have broken through the second level at this moment, and successfully transferred from deputy captain to formal captain of the city guard. He was currently tyrannical in the city.
After arranging multiple layers of magic barriers around to avoid affecting the outside world, Avis untied the restraints again and placed the cup next to Cohen.
He wanted to see what would happen if he allowed his desires to be absorbed by the cup without any restrictions.
Soon, the result appeared.
Under Avis's gaze, as the red cup approached, Cohen's originally overflowing smile began to become more twisted and crazy.
A large amount of almost materialized strong desire power continued to overflow from his body. At the same time, under the influence of unknown forces, the power of the dream potion in his body was instantly consumed at an astonishing speed.
But after the effect of the drug ended, Cohen did not wake up, and the dream generated by his desire continued.
In Avis's observation, the speed of time in the dream began to accelerate, the plot developed rapidly, and Cohen's strength in the dream was also rapidly increasing.
Level 3, level 4, level 5... until level 7, Cohen had become the commander of the city guards of Dragon Shadow City, and then launched a rebellion one night, killed the current lord of Dragon Shadow City, and replaced him.
