Chapter 39. It-Move By Itself?

While the two groups of people were fighting, Char successfully left and hid in the tents of the White Spirit Tribe.

It was obvious how much importance Cisco placed on this matter. He even took half of the camp's guards to stop Giro and the others, which gave Char an opportunity to strike.

The camp guards of the White Spirit Tribe were only slightly over level 40, which was nothing to Char. The real obstacle was the totem pole controlled by the guards.

There were two pillars every ten steps. They were as wide as a ball and more than a meter tall. At the top was a frozen goat's head. The two spiral horns extended outwards with a white light, connecting with each other and surrounding the entire camp.

"They even took out such standard security measures."

Char, who was hiding in the shadows, could not help but click his tongue in wonder.

In layman's terms, the barrier was a symbol of the ancestors watching out for the young ones. Those skeletal frozen goat heads were sacrificial artifacts with a trace of the ancestor's soul. Anyone who passed this line would be examined. If they had the blood of the White Spirit Tribe in their bodies, they would be released. Outsiders like Ortlinde would be recognized by the ancestors.

Next, the guards' job would be to identify important guests and ask the ancestors to turn a blind eye to clear entry. Once the guests passed, the ancestors would be on guard again.

Although the " Agent " could give Char a reasonable identity, it could not give him the reasonable elements to pass the security check.

At this moment, his identity as a Mechanic came in handy.

Although the ritual implement looked " antique", it was actually a machine. Among the few attack skills of a Mechanic, there was one called "Signal Interference, " which could allow the "Non-Falling Assistant" to emit strong electromagnetic waves to interfere with the recognition of the target machine. It would be extremely useful here.

However, the interfering method would be extremely reckless.

In the past, people would normally resolve in the most common repairing method to fix an old CRV television, henceforth the method would be more or less the same here.

Char found a hidden corner and summoned his Non-Falling Assistant. The assistant floated in front of the totem pole and suddenly took out a hammer bigger than itself from its back and hit the top of the totem pole. This seemingly heavy strike did not damage the totem, but instead made a sizzling sound when it came into contact. The strong impact caused it to be dazed for a moment.

While the interference was in effect, Char sneaked over without catching any attention.

The camp was now empty. All the combat power had been brought out to fight, and the rest were the target users of the heart-shaped seats, so they had nothing to do. Thus, when they saw a new face carrying a person in, they immediately surrounded her. Char did not even need to grab anyone to find Ortlinde. He then followed her and two guards to Norman's tent.

"You may leave. I will use divine arts to heal the Paladin."

"Yes, my lord."

After dismissing the people around her, Ortlinde looked around, seemingly puzzled.

"Hey, are you there?"

She called out softly, but Char did not come out even after a long time.

"Hmm, it really doesn't seem like he's here. Oh no, why do I feel so stupid like this? "

Char thought it was funny and sneaked over to stand behind her on the right. Then, he patted her left shoulder.

Ortlinde drew her holy sword and slashed to the left like a startled cat. The speed was so fast that Char couldn't help but exclaim at how fast a hero leveled up. That attack couldn't have been done without 150 points of Agility. Luckily, he was careful.

"It's me!"

Char appeared with an awkward look, and saw the silly girl staring at him, he quickly went to the edge of the tent and searched the ground.

"What are you looking for?"

Ortlinde leaned over curiously.

"Shhh…"

Char quietly flipped the carpet and found a black and white device. He pressed a button, and a transparent barrier instantly covered the entire tent.

"Norman always uses a soundproof barrier when he does bad things in this tent. Now, no one will know even if we wrestle inside."

Ortlinde was shocked "Bad things? What bad things would Paladin Norman do?"

"Let's wait for 'her' to explain it to you. If I explain it, it's sexual harassment, and you're going to call me a pervert."

Ortlinde's face turned red at once. She had also guessed what it was.

Therefore, the Valkyrie's eyes were filled with criticism and pity when she looked at Norman.

"When Paladin Rohart came to me, I remember you said that Paladin Norman, Cosby, and Leyton had committed countless crimes in the past, and they were all under the protection of the church, " she mumbled.

"You investigated it after you went back, but you didn't get any results, right?"

"Yeah."

"What's their official statement on this operation?"

"They said that there is a plague spreading on the grassland. A large number of Barbarian corpses need to be dealt with. The scene may be chaotic and attract monsters, so they asked me to come and maintain order," Ortlinde bit her lips in a complicated look.

If it wasn't for the plain explanation of Rosswealth, she might have believed the higher-ups.

"Char, I still can't figure out why the Holy See said that this was the divine decree of the Holy Spirit. Would the Holy Spirit sit by and watch them fill the pit with so many lives as a sacrifice? Did Zin'rokh control their minds?"

Ortlinde looked at Char, hoping to get an answer.

In fact, she already had an answer in her heart. She just wasn't sure and needed someone to support her idea.

Char sighed and did not answer.

"The answer will be revealed bit by bit. Before that, you only need to observe. he said.

Since the Valkyrie had followed Norman all the way into the tent, it meant that he did not have the item with him. Otherwise, she would have left the camp to look for him halfway. Therefore, the map and plan of this operation should be hidden in this tent.

Norman lived a frugal and simple life, and so did the furnishings in the tent. Only the bed was a little unsightly.

Char thought about Norman's habit for a few seconds, then walked straight to the large and comfortable animal-skinned bed. He lifted the blanket and knocked on the bed frame inch by inch.

It sounded hollow as he knocked on the bed frame but as he moved to the lower right corner, it suddenly sounded solid.

Char beckoned to Ortlinde, who leaned over in confusion.

"Stab the sword in from here."

"Ok."

The holy sword embedded itself into the solid block without any resistance, and the sound of broken parts sounded.

"Eh?"

Ortlinde couldn't help but exclaim, "This is…"

"This is its control hub. This bed is not simple." Char smiled and summoned the Non-Falling Assistant. He had it put its hand through the crack and power the bed.

After that, the entire bed underwent a tremendous change!

Low music came out of nowhere. The tone was like a saxophone, and the tune was lingering and lazy. Then the light in the tent dimmed, and the rose-red light shrouded the bed, creating a dark atmosphere.

Then, a small bump the size of a cushion appeared in the center of the bed board. It began to shrink and retract up and down in a regular pattern, accompanied by a series of swaying.

It moved by itself?

Char was dumbfounded!

Buzzzzzz!

Isn't this what I'm looking for?
