888 Mysterious Kufuray City (2/2)

The redness was fixed to the face tightly as if it were a veil. Only the rising parts, such as eyeballs, nose, and mouth, could be seen, which made the face unbelievably creepy.

The man shouted hoarsely, ”Help me!”

Startled by the voice, Fernando shivered hard, and the drowsiness that came into being at some point left his body.

It was not until this moment that he realized that the priest was still reciting the prayer and the believers were still dancing in the crystal ball.

”What happened to me just now?” Fernando asked himself subconsciously. He soon realized that he was affected by illusions and entered a dream without him realizing it!

He looked around warily and thought to himself, It's at least a senior-rank sorcerer, if not an archmage, who put me into a dream through the previous scene. What exactly does he want?

Then, he thought in shock, Was the archmage who created the dream the one who cried for help? He created the dream just to send a distress call?

Fernando did not rush out to investigate the dozen heretic believers. The caller asked for help in such a way was obviously to avoid certain surveillance. If he were to take action recklessly, something might happen to him.

”Is the man in trouble caged? No, if he is caged, his leaking strength couldn't have affected me at all unless he is above legendary, in which case whoever cages him is too much for me to deal with. If he is not caged but hiding somewhere in the city, it must be at least a level-nine expert who has put an archmage into such difficulties. The guy may be around…

”Such a method is obviously sorcery. Then, why doesn't he just ask for help from the Office of Sorcerers, which can reach out to Aalto? Maybe the Office of Sorcerers is secretly monitored by the expert, or maybe the people in the Office of Sorcerers have betrayed or been replaced…

”So, will the expert in the dark allow people to leave Kufuray City and get help for the sorcerer?”

Fernando shook his head firmly. It couldn't happen. Maybe he would be captured and killed as long as he attempted to leave the city.

At this moment, the dancing and praying believers slowed down. The ritual tonight seemed to have come to an end.

Fernando looked at the scene; his eyes unfocused. One thought suddenly flashed in his mind. ”Is 'the guy in need' doing this on purpose so that I'll be too intimidated to leave Kufuray and can only disappear like Tuck?”

He was very smart and therefore came up with a lot of possibilities. Hesitating, he did not know which one he should believe.

However, since he remembered Tuck, he brought out the notebook and read the following records.

”The ritual here is too weird. It is very different from what I know…

”The more I study the church that secretly develops in this place, the more scared I am. What are they exactly?

”No. Why have I never seen anyone leave the city? Why do the people who bring water and food return at the gate and never enter the city?

”I need to get out of here!”

After the scribble was hopeless blankness.

”Does everybody know that it is impossible to leave the city?” Fernando was even more perplexed.

Inside the crystal ball, the believers stopped praying and were ready to leave under the priest's instruction.

Having a eureka, Fernando blinked to the hall and shouted, ”Who are you? Why are you trespassing on Tuck's house?”

Since he was here for Tuck, he had to behave like he was searching for Tuck. That was the best way for him to buy himself more time without raising attention and doubts!

The priest who was as hideous as a monster replied solemnly and honestly, ”We have been invited by Tuck.”

”Tuck invited you to come here?” Fernando was slightly stunned, not expecting such an answer.

......

With the credentials that their teachers gave them, Furan and Antec flew toward Kufuray City quickly.

”Right, whose turn is it to watch over the place right now?” Antec did not pay much attention to it before.

Furan thought for a moment and said, ”His Excellency the Original Fire.”
