In the hazy night, Brian used invisibility to escape waves of patrols and came to the gate of the manor where the Shadow Valley witch Xilun lived during his lifetime.

At this time, he had to secretly sigh that the role of this legendary purple dragon seal ring after being strengthened by Myrcella is simply a necessary tool for killing, setting fire and attacking Lengzi.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to stroll in the Shadow Valley so easily without being noticed.

And his purpose here was naturally to find the Staff of the Great Master.

If you can get this artifact before fighting against Yinhun City and Santalin, your chances of restoring the Magic Net will definitely increase a few points.

Standing in front of the gate, Brian did not go in as soon as possible, but instead looked carefully at the door frame covered with spider webs with the help of the soft moonlight.

Most of the manors in the valley are planted with needle-prickly plants as the outermost fence, and the manors in Heron are no exception. After opening the gate of the metal fence, what appears in sight is a quiet road covered with uneven pebbles.

The Shadow Valley Witch, known for her diligence and simplicity, naturally her manor is not spectacular.

Of course, if you can ignore the faint gloomy atmosphere in the environment, it can also give people a delicate and elegant feeling.

There are rumors that there are portals connected to other places in the world of Torrell and even other planes in the manor of Hillen, but so far, no one has found such a thing here.

After Hillen's sacrifice, ownership of the land and surrounding areas was transferred to the name of Lord Moglin, who never allowed others to obtain the land, building houses or farming applications.

Of course, it's different after the fall of Shadow Valley.

Her manor was identified by the priestesses of the Lost Lady as a holy land of the goddess Mistera, so the "Dark Judgment" of the Santalin Society used the evil dwelling technique here in the name of the Dark Monarch Bann just in case.

The evil magic was cast here, causing this seemingly ordinary manor to become a haunted house that no one dared to approach, and the negative energy inside was even several times stronger than the cemetery.

When Brian is in the manor, if he hadn't possessed the legendary favor, he would definitely feel breathless. It is conceivable what kind of harm Bann's believers have caused to this place using the evil residence technique.

Feeling the strange situation here, Brian couldn't help but become much more cautious.

He first circled around the manor, constantly releasing detection magic, and walked around carefully. After discovering that the manor had no necromancers and other filthy creatures except for the rich negative energy, he decided to push the door open and walk in.

Under the gradually dimming moonlight, weeding grass by the path of night dew, the dewdrops on the grass are shining with crystal light, and the sound of insects from far and near is faintly heard. The trees next to the hashed path are swaying slightly in the night wind, making rustling sounds, which seem gloomy and terrifying and unsettling.

At this moment, facing this strange atmosphere, even a person with a big heart like Brian, walking alone in this haunted house, could not help but feel a little furrowed all over.

He tightened his cloak on his body, opened his psychic detection force field, and carefully observed everything around him.

Just as Brian was about to enter the manor room, he seemed to have encountered something terrible, and his expression and limbs were instantly stiff.

"Ba,ba,ba..."

Under the bleak night, strange sounds echoed in the empty manor, and the sound sounded like it came from the crack of the door.

At the same time, waves of sounds like whipping a long whip and whipping the body were faintly heard into his ears, and from time to time there were several evil and charming laughter, with resentment in the coldness.

"It seems that something dirty is hiding inside?" Brian took a deep breath and his expression became serious.

Just now, after hearing this strange laughter, he was caught off guard and made a "fear" saving throw.

Fortunately, his will attribute is very high and it did not affect him.

This made him realize that some kind of evil thing hidden in the manor room is likely to be born with the ability to spread "fear".

Any creature who hears this strange sound must forcibly judge through the will exemption, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

No wonder after Shadow Valley was occupied, it is not unreasonable that residents here called Heron’s manor a haunted house.

After adjusting his condition, Brian kicked open the door of the manor room with a sudden kick.

"boom!"

Accompanied by the bang, dust filled the crowd, and the messy manor hall gradually unveiled its terrifying veil in Brian's vision.

The bleak moonlight shines into the room from the completely open door, giving the surroundings a terrifying atmosphere of whiteness and miserableness.

However, even with the contrast of moonlight, with the vision of Brian's half-elf, he could only vaguely see the outlines of the decaying furniture in the dark and other decorations covered with dust.

Feeling the air that was inhaled into his heart and lungs, the bone-black coolness emitted made him realize that there was definitely a negative energy aura like black mist around him, which permeated the hall, such as the dark arts or the deep dark arts released by ghost creatures.

Brian casts a "Deep Darkness" spell without moving, which can see through all the darkness caused by magic.

As the spell was cast, the supernatural shadow around Brian suddenly dissipated in front of him, like a layer of fog being pushed away, presenting him with a clear picture.

After his vision returned to normal, he immediately locked his sight directly at the inner side of the hall against the wall, which was where the sound came.

The display counter that should have been placed there had fallen down, and the debris were scattered all over the ground. What surprised him was that there was a vague and distorted figure on the falling cabinet, like a huge figure formed by many people.

This is an ugly figure, even larger than that of ordinary humans. Its head and shoulders float in the darkness, and the cold rotates around it, as if it is constantly absorbing the surrounding heat and life.

It also has a terrifying face beyond imagination. In its twisted lips, you can see bright red tongue and weird black teeth. The most terrifying thing is its eyes, which are shining with devil's light, full of hatred and destruction.

Brian was surprised to see that on its raised right hand, a long black whip covered with barbed appeared in the void, and then pointed it at the wall next to the cabinet and whipped it away fiercely.

“Geehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The long black whip covered with barbed hair was like a swift lightning. The moment it landed on the wall, a woman tied up with her hands and feet, naked and disheveled hair suddenly appeared on the surface of the wall, making a pleasant laugh like a bell, twisting her plump body, and letting her face whip her with pleasure.

Brian did not take action as soon as possible, but chose to observe first.

Putting aside other aspects, this is indeed a beautiful woman, whether it is her slender waist, plump chest, or her perfect buttocks, all of which are far above the level.

And such a woman was willing to enjoy this kind of torture, obviously she was performing some evil ritual.

"Ba!Ba!Ba!Ba!..."

Blood-colored whip marks fell on her pale and bloodless body like raindrops. Widths of blood actually penetrated out of the phantom on the wall and flowed to the ground.

However, the phantom of the strange woman who was whipped on the wall, facing this torture, her laughter was actually filled with a pleasant moan.

"Is it Shar's dark ritual?"

A hint of doubt came to Brian's heart, and then he ignored the naked woman on the wall and looked at the black shadow holding a long whip.

He instantly recognized that this terrifying black shadow was not a human, but a spirit-binding lord from the shadow world, and his strength was suffocated to death at about the fourth level.

As Brian looked over, the hand of the Spirit-Binding Lord, holding the long whip, froze in the air, turned his head with difficulty, grinned, and showed a ferocious sneer.

Faced with this situation, Brian raised his hand and pointed. Before the terrifying spirit could react, the blue and white flames were swept onto his body, making sizzling sounds all over his body, and a ball of gas emerged.

It whimpered for a moment and then condensed into a soul crystal the size of a thumb, landing on the ground, making a crisp sound.

After getting the spirit bound, Brian was about to leave the place and walked towards the depths of the hall. He seemed to remember something and looked towards the wall instinctively.

Immediately afterwards, he saw that in the shadow of the wall, the woman with disheveled hair slowly turned her head, revealing a pair of deep purple eyes in the black hair and black shadows.

"Damn it!"

The naked woman broke free from the ropes of her tie, stood up in anger, and walked out of the wall with awe of "chest" and "breasted" in awe.

"In the witness of the great goddess of dark night, you dare to destroy my 'Dark Night Rise'. It's great, then use your body as a sacrifice for the ceremony!"

The exquisite face of the priestess Shar became distorted by the ritual interruption. The long black hair that was flying without wind was like a devil, and the deep voice seemed to be from the flames of hell.

The dark night rises?

Hearing this name, Brian realized what the hell was doing in front of him. It is said that this is the bloodiest ritual in the Shar Church.

Under normal circumstances, this is a ritual that the fourth-level model priestess only performs when he is promoted to the legendary realm.

On a bleak moonlit night, they will find an extremely secret area, and secretly please their goddess by enduring bloody torture and pain, and finally achieve their goal.

Since the Lost Lady Shar is the goddess who keeps all the secrets, the period of the "Night Rise" ceremony must not be discovered by anyone. Even if it is just a glance, it is very likely that the ceremony will fail.

After Brian figured out the reason for the problem, the priestess who had already been interrupted by the ceremony and failed to sacrifice completely lost his reason.

It really fits the saying: In the continent of Feren, any man must protect himself when he goes out. The goddesses here are crazy, even their believers.

"Go to die! Under the witness of the night, you will disappear forever in the secret of the goddess of the night!"

Priestess Shar screamed in anger. She didn't think about how Brian easily killed the spirit-binding lord she summoned from the shadow world, and she didn't realize that she was naked at the moment and had no magic equipment, so she launched a fierce attack on him without fear.

In an instant, as the priestess with a fierce chest raised his hands, energy magic balls flashing with dark purple light condensed into shape, poured out and smashed towards Brian.

Faced with the unreasonable enemy, Brian waved his hand calmly and easily blocked the attacks.

Then, he stretched out his hand and several lightning spears condensed from the energy of the force field roared through the air, shattering like a bamboo shoot that the priestess temporarily held up, causing the fierce priestess to fall on his back and sprinkle blood on the spot.

After dealing with the enemy in front of him, Brian cleaned up the body and walked towards the depths of the manor.

This time, without encountering any obstacles, I found the bedroom where Hillen once lived.

However, to his surprise, the bedroom was cleaned up and it seemed that the priestess who had just been killed by him lived in the room after occupying the Shadow Valley.

He did not walk into the room immediately, but instead used the faint moonlight cast from the large window on the left to the room, carefully observing everything around him.

Because the spiritual power field he opened had already told him that this bedroom had many traps arranged.

The wall behind the bed is decorated with bronze-plated murals, which depict the story of a strong warrior going through life and death. The metal plated on it constantly makes rhythmic echoes, just like the heartbeat of a human being.

In the bathtub a few steps away, the fragrant bath water was stirring quickly. Between the breathtaking elegant murals, there were magic-bred weapons and weapons hanging. None of them were specially arranged to show off their wealth.

The moonlight outside the window was bleak and frivolous, and it just seeped in from the light purple curtains. Although the windows were closed and there was no trace of wind, the curtains were still slightly floating.

Obviously, like other decorations in this spacious and luxurious bedroom, even the curtains were subjected to several protective spells, which were the magic energy flowing above, which made them sway lightly.

Even if the intruder can break the glass, the curtains will turn into countless tentacles, wrapping this unlucky guy around the rice dumplings.

Faced with this situation, Brian could only carefully clear all these traps by removing magic one after another.

Time flew through the spell aura of spells flashing in the room. Nearly half an hour passed, and he finally lifted the magic traps and magic alarms set by the priestess.

Next, he needed to do even if he looked for the Staff of the Great Master who was stored here by Xilun.

Brian was about to turn the entire bedroom into the sky through detection magic, looking for the space node hidden here. The giant hand that the god of the wizard Azus appeared in front of him for the third time.

"You have been recognized by the Shadow Valley Witch, the young Arcane Seeker."
