Chapter 197: Doubt
Chapter 197: Doubt
At the end of the long bronze table, on the chair that symbolized the highest position, a man with blond hair and blue eyes, who was as handsome as an angel, suddenly appeared.
"Ahem... Sir!"
Matt finally managed to catch his breath and quickly knelt down on one knee, lowering his head to show his respect.
Jessica raised her head, her eyes filled with deep infatuation. She said softly, "Lord Haschwalth, why did you suddenly come here?"
Haschwalth leaned against the back of the chair, his eyes wandering from the bodies of the two people, and said lightly, "It seems that you have a good relationship, but you have to pay attention to propriety when you play. Matt is not our enemy, understand?"
"Yes, Lord Haschwalth!"
Jessica saw a hint of dissatisfaction in Haschwalth's eyes. Her heart immediately shivered, and she quickly bowed her head and apologized, "I understand. I will pay attention to propriety in the future."
No matter how you looked at it, it was not a 'fight', right?
Matt glanced at the timid Jessica, the corner of his mouth slightly twitched, and a sense of lingering fear emerged in his heart.
Jessica really wanted to kill him!
He did not see any hesitation in this crazy woman's eyes, only pure killing intent!
If Haschwalth hadn't appeared in time, he would have been a corpse by now!
"Sir, there is something I want to report!"
Matt took a deep breath and threw these things to the back of his mind. He did not intend to give up the idea of saving those children because of Jessica's threat.
"Matt"
Jessica suddenly raised her head. Her heart was shocked and angry, and her eyes were full of killing intent.
She did not expect Matt to be so bold, knowing that the consequences of doing so would be very serious, but he still insisted on being stubborn!
She suddenly regretted that she had not killed Matt just now!
Haschwalth had just arrived not long ago, so he did not know the conversation between the two. Seeing that Jessica's reaction was so intense, he frowned and said, "What is it? Tell me about it."
Matt ignored the angry Jessica on the side and told her everything about the encounter with the fanatic, the missing children, and about the sacrifice of the creatures and the God of Darkness.
"The Infernal and the Dark God?"
Haschwalth listened carefully.
There seemed to be a glimmer in his eyes. His slender index finger knocked on the long bronze table and slowly said, "Tell me in detail. Do not miss anything about the Infernal and the Dark God!"
"My lord, it's like this..."
Matt combined his speculation with his own, combined the matter regarding the fanatic organization and the God of Darkness with his previous speculation, and after sorting it out, logically and logically, he repeated it once more.
During this period of time, the anger in Jessica's eyes seemed as if it was real, and she wished she could devour Matt alive and skin him alive!
In her opinion, if she rashly interfered in this matter, it was very likely that it would attract Soul Society's attention. At that time, Lord Haschwalth would definitely be implicated, and it was even possible that he would fight a captain level death god!
To Jessica, who viewed Haschwalth as a 'sun', this was something that could not be tolerated!
If not for Haschwalth's presence, Jessica would probably have exploded at this moment and nailed that damned bastard Matt to the wall with a sacred death vector!
Without much trouble, Matt described everything that had happened, as well as all the details and clues.
"Kaecilius..."
Haschwalth was deep in thought, and his heart had roughly determined seventy to eighty percent.
Because he had a mental connection with Lod, what Haschwalth heard, without missing a word, was all transmitted into Lod's ears.
Kaecilius came from animated film version of a Dr. Strange.
It was worth mentioning that Kaecilius came from Kamar Taj and was a powerful mage whose talent was second only to Strange. After finding out the secret of Ancient One devouring the dark power to prolong his life, he led quite a number of Kamar Taj mages to defect.
After that, they established an organization known as the Zealot. They believed in Dormammu of the Dark Dimension, pursued immortality, and destroyed the three temples of Camma Taiji, allowing Dormammu to descend into an evil magic organization as their final goal!
However, apart from that, in Lod's eyes, there was another doubt about the entire matter that his mother had described!
Why would the fanatics led by Kaecilius secretly capture those children?
If they wanted to sacrifice these souls to Dormammu, this reason was a little too far-fetched!
One had to know that Dormammu was a single universe level powerhouse, and all of his mana came from the dark dimension. The only thing that could catch his eye was probably Earth's latitude.
It was impossible for Kaecilius not to understand this. Sacrificing the souls of dozens of humans and trying to move Dormammu was clearly an unrealistic thing.
Moreover, to Dormammu who controlled the dark dimension, the souls of hundreds of humans were as small as dust!
This was just like how a hundred dollars in your hand and then trying to bribe a certain horse-like boss was laughable!
Unless Kaecilius had the ability to sacrifice the souls of the entire human race to Dormammu, he might be able to satisfy the appetite of the Ruler of the Dark Dimension.
However, the problem was that Kaecilius did not have the ability, and Dormammu did not dare to devour souls of the entire human race.
Since that was the case, why would Kaecilius abduct the child and declare that he wanted to sacrifice it to the God of Darkness?
Unless...
Kaecilius was simply lying, using the name of sacrificing to Dormammu to secretly use these children to do other things!
Haschwalth's expression changed a little, feeling that this matter was far from as simple as it seemed.
"I roughly understand."
Haschwalth pushed the frame of his glasses with one hand and said lightly, "Are you sure about your source of information? Didn't you ask if there were any questions?"
"I'm sure!"
Matt thought about it carefully and said with certainty, "He told me himself that he was the leader of the fanatics, Kaecilius, and told us not to ask for more."
"What do you want me to do?"
Haschwalth was expressionless, and his eyes were like torches as he stared at the kneeling Matt.
"I want to ask the adults to help save those children!"
Matt lowered his head deeply. He understood that it was impossible to save those children with his own strength, so he could only place his hopes on Haschwalth.
"No, I don't agree!"
Jessica immediately stood up and objected, "Lord Haschwalth, the invisible empire is still in a state of concealment. Once we choose to intervene in the matter of the Zealot, it will easily attract Soul Society's attention. This is too dangerous for us!"
"Promise him."
Lod's voice suddenly sounded.
Haschwalth's expression was normal. His index finger tapped the long bronze table, making a crisp sound. He pretended to think for a while and said, "I agree to your request."
