Chapter 849: The Dark Shadow Fist Sect and the Demon Maze
“We searched the theatre a few times just now, but we couldn’t find him!
“He seemed to have suddenly vanished into thin air!”
Hood said angrily,
“Nonsense, how could a perfectly fine person disappear into thin air?
“How do you manage your theatre? Who is responsible for the final reward for this legendary Pentathlon Challenge?”
Fatty said with trepidation,
“The final reward of the Legendary Challenge has always been decided by Lord Kratos and Young Master Hood…”
“Call that little bastard over!”
Hood was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
Not long after.
The young man returned with a dejected expression.
Obviously, he had not found Kratos.
Matthew was not surprised by this result. He had already prepared himself for this when he sensed the source of the abnormality in Earth’s Crown.
” What’s the reward for this Challenger League?
“Why don’t you let anyone get the final reward?”
Hood asked.
The young man said aggrievedly,
” Kratos was the one who did all the details. I remember that the final reward this time was a sapphire, worth about 30,000 gold coins…”
Matthew looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze.
The young man did not seem to be lying.
At this moment.
Suddenly, someone ran over from outside.
” Young Master Hood, we found a strange corpse in Kratos’ office!”
Matthew and Hood looked at each other.
“Let’s go and take a look.”
Hood decisively took the lead.
Matthew pulled Sif along and followed.
A few minutes later.
In a spacious and luxurious office in the theatre.
A huge bookshelf was rotated 75 degrees, revealing a secret room.
The secret room was cleaned very well.
There were all kinds of torture tools inside.
There were even some dark red bloodstains on the walls of the secret room.
An extremely strange corpse was casually placed in a corner of the secret chamber.
Matthew only took a glance, and his eyes became extremely serious.
This corpse had no face, no facial features, and no gender!
He checked.
He revealed an expression that said,” As expected.”
Hood stood at the side, his eyes also filled with surprise.
“What happened to this corpse?
“Why does it seem like everything has been taken away by some evil force?”
Matthew nodded slightly.
“All the elements were taken away when he was alive.
“If I’m not wrong, Kratos, who was talking to me in the VIP room just now, is probably a Thousand Transformers!”
Thousand Transformers!
Hood had obviously heard of this special race.
His expression immediately turned very ugly.
“Is it really a Thousand Transformers?
” I’ve heard some rumours. Some people claim that the bloodline of the Thousand Transformers is awakening, but isn’t Jassliven still sealed in the Eversong Forest?
“Is there really a Thousand Transformers expert who can perfectly replace a person?”
Matthew shook his head.
He now realized why he felt something was wrong with Kratos.
The other party’s elements were not coordinated at all!
If he had used his balanced perception, he might have been able to see through the identity of the Thousand Transformers in advance!
“Sir, when we found this corpse, this bookshelf was open to the outside…”
A servant reported.
Hood’s frown deepened.
Matthew nodded lightly.
” He doesn’t care if we know who he is. It’s even possible that he let us know on purpose.
” If that’s the case, the identity of Kratos is no longer valuable to the Thousand Transformers. He might have become another person.”
Hood was somewhat puzzled.
“Then why did he make such a scene?
” First, he used the Earth’s Crown to lure you into the challenge and then disguised as Kratos to cause a conflict between you and me?
” Isn’t this too ridiculous? Even if there’s no friendship between the two of us, it’s impossible for two registered mages to have a conflict over such a small matter.”
Matthew was deep in thought.
After a moment, he muttered,
“Is it possible that he didn’t do this to cause us to have a conflict?
“He just wants us to meet…
” Think about it. If we meet in Jiliu City, what will happen between us besides inviting me to visit your mage tower?”
Hood thought for a moment.
” There’s a banquet tonight. It’s for the Castellan and a few of my grandchildren to celebrate the success of my life extension. If you’re willing to visit my Mage Tower, I might be able to invite you to the banquet.”
Banquet?
Matthew narrowed his eyes.
“Where is the banquet?”
Hood looked at the young man beside him, and the latter hurriedly said,
” That banquet was prepared by Danny and the others. It has nothing to do with me.
” The banquet is held in a courtyard of the city lord in the Upper East Side. I’ve only been there once or twice. There are many beautiful women there, but there are also some strange people. I asked around curiously before, and Danny told me that they are the guests of the city lord. I heard that they are all martial monks from the Far East.
“Of course, I wasn’t interested in those baldies, so I didn’t ask much.”
Matthew and Hood quickly exchanged their opinions.
During this period, he learned that Danny was another grandson of Hood. During Hood’s seclusion, Danny supported most of the family business. He was one of the few shrewd and capable talents in the Hood family.
“Lead the way. Let’s go to the banquet venue and take a look!”
Hood berated.
The young man immediately followed.
Matthew looked back at Sif.
He hesitated for a moment.
“Why don’t I send you back first?”
Sif gently held his hand and insisted,
“You promised to accompany me this afternoon.”
Matthew chanted an incantation and quickly summoned Soldier, ordering him to protect Sif.
The group of people rushed toward the Upper East Side.
Inside the theatre.
VIP Room 3.
General Tarani, who had passed three rounds in a row, looked impatient.
“What happened?
“Didn’t they agree to arrange the fourth challenge immediately?
“Why is there not even a trace of them now?”
Beanna pursed her lips and yawned in boredom.
” These challenges are not a challenge for you at all. Why are you so determined to complete them?”
Tarani said with a nostalgic expression,”
“This has something to do with my father and mother. When I was young…”
However, her words were quickly interrupted by an urgent transmission.
“General!
” When we were chasing the remnants of the Silver Frost Brotherhood, we found them entering a very special manor.
” According to our investigation, the owner of the manor seems to be the mayor of Jiliu City!
“May I ask what we should do next?”
Tarani was slightly stunned.
“How could the lord of Jiliu City be related to the Silver Frost Brotherhood?
“Are you sure you didn’t see wrongly?”
The Wood Elf replied,
“There’s no doubt about it!
“Moreover, we have also discovered a few suspicious martial monks nearby…”
Tarani stood up abruptly.
She said to Beanna,
“I’ll send you back to the camp.”
Beanna bit her lip.
” I thought I was already a qualified Elven Sword Chanter.”
Tarani thought for a moment.
“Then follow me closely later.
“There shouldn’t be such a big problem.”
As she spoke.
The group left the VIP room one after another.
..
In a magnificent manor on the Upper East Side.
A crow quickly flew over the manor.
The scenery in the manor was unobstructed.
Matthew blinked.
The information in the data column jumped rapidly.
