Chapter 432 Ritual: The Evil of Broken Fate

The location of Blood Butterfly Valley is not far from the south of Nata County.

Nata County is in the most northwest corner of Noah Kingdom. On the map, it is about the direction of ten o'clock.

Going out from Nata County, turning south over Villen Mountain, there is a village.

The villagers living here are not the same as those outlaw lunatics in Nata County.

This is already a city close to the border of civilization... While being inaccessible, it also means that many spell materials are easy to obtain. Many merchants who sell spell materials occasionally come here to exchange some materials with the villagers.

A little further east from here is Zedi Hei Tower.

Many wizards from Zedi Black Tower also come here to exchange living supplies with the villagers.

—In fact, the village itself is a ritual.

Because further south from Villen Mountain, the entrance of Blood Butterfly Valley is directly opposite.

Zedi Heita used the "vitality and civilization" of the village itself as the hub of the barrier to seal the Blood Butterfly Valley. Prevent any of the Blood Butterflies from breaking the enchantment and leaving.

As long as they are bitten by blood butterflies, they will get a strange disease that cannot be cured and can be transmitted - as long as they are injured, they will bleed continuously, just like hemophilia... and once their blood leaves the body, it will become a new one blood butterfly.

One must use bishop-level powerful magic to dispel curses, or simply replace the blood in the whole body once to be treated... Merely taking medicine or using healing magic and rituals are completely useless.

At most, the wound can only be restored to a healthy level, and if it is injured again, it will return to its previous state.

And if these blood butterflies are killed, they will immediately regenerate in the Blood Butterfly Valley; their number will always remain at one hundred and seventy-eight, and if new ones are added, the first ones born will also decrease.

Therefore, Zedi Black Tower sealed off the entire Blood Butterfly Valley—blocking both ends with landslides, and sealing the top with an enchantment. Afterwards, all the external blood butterflies were killed...then the blood butterflies were reborn into the cage.

A disaster was thus averted.

This enchantment does not only have the effect of "blocking".

There is no shortage of stupid and bad villains in the world... Such an important enchantment naturally also depends on how to prevent them from breaking through from the outside.

And the way Zedi Heita came up with was to use the unnamed village at the foot of Velen Mountain to cover the entrance of Blood Butterfly Valley.

They used a large ritual called "Broken Fate".

This ritual, in fact, is a curse—roughly speaking, its effect is to make someone never see their lover, or some key item. In this way, they can achieve the vicious effect of making them pass each other on the street, or even if they are back to back, they will never find each other.

Through this effect, the wizards of Zedi Black Tower set the "Party A" in this curse ceremony as the people in the entire unknown village, and set Party B as the enchantment above the Blood Butterfly Valley.

Then the wizards of Zedi Black Tower asked the villagers to entertain the guests warmly, and built a large number of spare houses for the villagers and tourists to live in.

Through the combination of curses, a wonderful effect is formed.

Anyone who walks forward from this village, or plans to return to the village after exploring—that is, anyone who uses this "village" as a foothold or entry point,

They were all cut off from the "fate" with the enchantment above the Blood Butterfly Valley.

They couldn't see the enchantment, and the enchantment itself covered everything inside the Blood Butterfly Valley. And the south of Blood Butterfly Valley is the endless poisonous swamp...the only entrance is this unnamed village.

This caused everyone who heard the legend to explore the "Blood Butterfly Valley" from this unnamed village in the mountains to the west.

But they can't see anything.

Therefore, Blood Butterfly Valley has become a "legendary" place.

Many people even doubt that it really exists... because many explorers have not found its real location.

And the core of "Ritual: Broken Fate" is kept by Hugo Pagoda Master. Only he can undo this ritual, thereby exposing Blood Butterfly Valley.

The reason why the former "Blood Hand Brothers" slaughtered in Nata County left behind the legend of "Blood Hands on the Window".

In fact, they were trying to find the Blood Butterfly Valley...but they couldn't find it in the end.

——And now, this ritual has been broken.

Annan took a deep breath.

He was standing in the wreckage of this nameless village right now.

Yes, wreckage.

The house has been completely burned down, and the corpses are scattered here and there.

The vast majority of them were adults-carrying farm tools, bows and arrows and shotguns, dying in the streets and alleys.

Know it at a glance.

That was the magic trace left by the extraordinary.

Some people seemed to be blown away by some invisible thing, the bones of the face and chest collapsed and deformed, and the whole person was embedded in the burning wall;

Some people were pierced by a row of solid black thorns protruding from the ground, and fell obliquely on the thorns, and the blood coagulated on the thorns, making them appear a distinctive reddish-brown under the sun;

Some people were drowned on the dry flat ground, some people were burned into ashes out of thin air, some people were as dry as firewood, and some people seemed to fall from the sky...

It seems that there have been many wizards here.

But Annan knew...these were all done by Nicholas II.

Most of the experimental subjects on his side were old people, women and children, and only about six or seven were adult males.

It was probably during this "capture" phase that combative villagers—such as butchers, blacksmiths, and hunters—resisted his capture and were killed too many by his spells.

The remaining people were terrified, and were locked in a cage by Nicholas—dragged into the Blood Butterfly Valley.

Nicholas was obviously aware of the essence of this ritual.

But he didn't have the guts to go directly to the Black Tower of Zedi like a spiritual monk to fight against the Tower Master Hugo.

Or it may be that Cheng Lingseng died in Zedi Black Tower, which made him afraid to repeat his behavior.

And Nicholas has been silent for so long, obviously he has figured out another way to solve the "broken fate".

Since this is a ceremony to hide from the plane of fate through this unnamed village...

He simply killed or took away all the villagers, leaving no one in the village, and destroyed and burned all the properties and all the residential fields—conceptually, to make this village no longer exist.

——But Annan knew that if Nicholas II really wanted to go to Blood Butterfly Valley, he actually didn't need such a complicated method at all.

He is a transcendent of the golden rank, and he also controls many fallen people under his command.

Now that he has figured out that the shielding method of the Blood Butterfly Valley is "Ritual: The Evil of Broken Fate", he can completely cross the entire mountain range directly - from the rugged mountains, it takes half a month to climb to the Blood Butterfly Valley . Those insects, snakes and ferocious beasts that could easily kill ordinary people could not hurt him at all.

—He definitely knows the way.

But Nicholas II did not do this.
