My bloodline yearns for progress.

Chapter 83 Heresy

Otto naturally knew Tessa and Irene's background.

But since Eileen wasn't going to explain now, he couldn't bring himself to speak and could only continue listening to her explanation.

When asked about Goren's doubts, Eileen simply brushed it off by saying there was no evidence at the moment.

She ignored Goren's protests and continued talking.

"The final part of the ritual that needs to be noted is that the shaman needs to change the wild spirit he is communicating with."

The so-called Wild Spirit is actually a being transformed from a shamanic contract's ghost, belonging to the undead category of fantasy species.

Generally, when the ritual reaches this stage, it is considered successful. Changing the wild spirit is not a complicated matter; it just takes some time and involves making a pact at the chosen ritual site.

Eileen shared the information she knew and also offered her thoughts to everyone.

"That shaman probably won't stop until he has hunted down Tessa's soul."

Since we have no evidence and therefore cannot obtain assistance from the Inquisition, I have a suggestion.

Eileen looked solemnly at the adventurers before her.

"I want to hire Dragonbreaker to protect Tessa, as for the reward..."

Eileen wanted to say something more, but Micah, who had been sitting at the table, raised his hand, signaling the woman to stop talking.

"Tessa is a full member of the Dragonbreakers; dwarves never abandon their comrades."

I am not one of those gray dwarves.

While I do need money, please don't insult me ​​with money.

Just state your plan directly. If it's not feasible, I also have my own ideas.

Although Micah didn't know Eileen's identity, her aura was astonishing, definitely not that of an ordinary priestess, and she must be able to come up with a considerable amount of money.

Even so, Micah did not intend to abandon the dwarves' beliefs.

Seeing this, Goren just scratched his head and said helplessly.

"Okay, tell me quickly, what are your plans?"

Although Goren found Eileen's behavior puzzling, since Micah was willing to believe her, Goren was also willing to follow in the dwarf's footsteps.

Seeing this, Eileen simply nodded.

"Thank you for your assistance."

At this point, Eileen glanced at Otto in the corner and gave him a bewildered smile.

"Actually, the key to this operation is Otto."

Upon hearing this, Otto, who had been watching the Moonlit Spirit Hound's daily education of the Magical Ape and the Black Cat, was immediately stunned.

What use could a novice who had just become a superhuman be in such a big matter?

Should I fight the Mystic Shaman?

"right!"

At this moment, Eileen finally revealed her plan.

"Your and Tessa's accumulated merits are enough to qualify you for the end-of-month upgrade assessment."

At that time, you will be randomly selected to take the test.

You were all alone and helpless then; surely that mysterious shaman and his henchmen would act decisively.

Eileen's plan was simple.

Using the upgrade assessment as an opportunity, they created the illusion that Tessa was out without the protection of experienced adventurers.

At that time, Tessa will most likely be attacked, and then they can take the opportunity to seize the opponent's weakness.

To put it bluntly, Tessa is the bait, and the mysterious shaman is the fish that Eileen wants to catch.

However, Tessa's sudden action alone would inevitably arouse suspicion, so Otto needed to accompany her.

To put it bluntly, Otto's role was simply to lower the opponent's guard.

But just as Eileen was able to reveal the plan, Tessa asked with some doubt.

"Does that shaman have any helpers?"

I remember we were attacked back then, and quite a few people were killed.

Eileen simply shook her head at Tessa's question.

"Those are just grunts."

Micah and I guessed that the shaman was harvesting souls on another battlefield, and just sent the minions to attack you with the mage's soul.

After all, few people can dodge a meteor shower when they are caught off guard.

Keep in mind that even the basic Meteor spell is a third-circle spell.

But the key question is, how did they manage to deceive the eyes of the gods?

It should be known that most priests who believe in gods have received blessings from the Lord.

When people are about to die, the gods will often cast their gaze upon them, and some special believers can even receive a little bit of divine power from the gods!

"According to our investigation, given the barbarian god Grakna's rare knowledge, his rank should not be high, and it would be difficult to hide it from the eyes of the gods."

Moreover, according to Una's autopsy, the scum you killed did not receive any blessings or protection.

Then there's only one answer.

It seems that the shaman had an assistant, someone who possessed some means of concealing their aura.

Upon hearing this, Tessa, who was also a member of the Inquisition, immediately realized the answer.

"It's a demon!"

As a priestess and a member of the Inquisition, Tessa was extremely familiar with demons.

Only those demons who dwell in the abyss and oppose the divine kingdom possess such power.

After hearing Tessa's answer, Eileen simply nodded and explained.

"This power and method have nothing to do with the level of demons, but rather with their innate talents and bloodline abilities."

As long as a demon possesses a person in the mortal world, or obtains some kind of vessel and takes on a physical form in the mortal world, a special domain will form around him, which the divine kingdom in the high heavens cannot detect.

But this is only part of it.

At this point, Eileen sighed helplessly.

"Low-level demons are alright; they can only risk using their physical bodies to traverse the dimensional rifts or come to the mortal world to commit evil through rituals."

But the high-ranking demons are different; they often use their divided spirits to toy with the foolish people of the mortal world.

Even if an exorcism or purification ritual is performed, it only resolves the issue by splitting the spirit.

Therefore, Eileen decided to keep her identity a secret until the very last moment.

After all, demons are incredibly cunning, and if the identity of the Inquisition is made public, they could easily slip away. It's best to be cautious for now.

Thinking of this, Eileen immediately looked at Otto again.

"I know this will put a lot of pressure on you, so I have a suggestion."

You should have seen Tessa's defensive items by now.

Actually, the temple also gave me a similar item.

Although it is not an ancient relic, it is still a decent alchemy tool.

If you agree to this request, I can lend you this item during your mission.

Regardless of the outcome, you will receive alchemical items as compensation after the event concludes.

Eileen's suggestion was not opposed by the dwarves.

Micah thought that this matter was indeed risky for Otto, a novice adventurer. If he could obtain a defensive alchemical item, it would be an extra layer of insurance.
