Chapter 48 The News Brought by the Black Egg

On the other side of the forest.

The black egg that was brought back by Dolf was placed on the stone that had been cut flat by Edgar's sword, receiving the crowd's attention.

"Is this what Audrey said?"

At first, Ethan thought it would be a variety of strange objects for sacrifice. But he didn't expect it to be such an egg.

But on second thought, it seemed that eggs could also be used for sacrifice.

But Ethan didn't realize it in a short time.

What's more, this black egg came from the actions of Dolf.

According to Ethan's order, Dolf went to investigate the movements of the goblin wolf riders.

Unexpectedly, this guy was very straightforward. After going out for a while, he killed all the goblin wolf riders and brought back the black egg.

"It looks like that thing. But if I look carefully, there is some difference."

Although Audrey wanted to touch it, she didn't do that.

Compared to the human being mentioned by Dolf, Audrey seemed to know more about this black egg.

"Dolf, did you say that this black egg was held in the arms of a human?"

Dolf nodded.

He knew very well that the dark elf, who was also a summoning beast, not only had a sister relationship with Freya but also had a close relationship with Ethan.

"Yes. When I arrived, the human and his companions were surrounded by the goblin wolf riders."

"Really? Where are those humans?"

Ethan asked.

"Except that one of these humans was killed by goblin wolf riders, the rest of them are fine. However, the man holding the black egg seems to have the smell of evil."

"The aura of evil?"

Ethan's attention was drawn to him when Dolf mentioned the aura of evil.

Compared with the black egg he had, Ethan was more concerned about the appearance of the smell of evil from that human being.

"Yes. If I hadn't taken action at that time, the aura of evil would have used the dead body of the human being killed by goblin wolf riders to perform the demon skill."

"The demon skill? Audrey, is there anyone else here besides you?"

As far as the present situation was concerned, the only existences who could use the demon skill near this city were probably Audrey's evil group and Dolf.

Audrey kept silent for a while, nodded. But then she shook her head.

"I'm not the only one who came to this forest. However, they won't leave the secret castle at will. Even if there is any movement outside, they will only send servants to deal with it at most."

"The secret castle?"

Ethan frowned.

"Are those people who taught you the corpse explosion skill?

Audrey's face froze as if it was hard for her to say anything.

After all, before she became Ethan's summoning beast, her past was indeed in line with the rumors of the dark elf.

"Let bygones be bygones. What's more, with the help of the summoning book, you have returned to innocence. Don't care about those things."

Freya saw through Audrey's concerns.

Although she was surprised, she still reminded Audrey in a low voice.

"Thank you."

Audrey nodded slowly.

Then she looked at Ethan.

"The leader of the group is a low-level witch named Rogoff. And he is also one of the hosts of the evil's sacrifice. I learned the corpse explosion skill from him."

"Rogoff? Is he in this forest?"

Ethan became vigilant.

With such a terrifying existence like the witch, even the low-level ones would be the most terrifying enemies in the crisis the city was facing.

"Yes, they are in the west of the forest."

Suddenly, Audrey seemed to remember something.

"Wait! Before I left the secret castle, I heard them mention that they were going to contact the goblin tribe in this forest and use them as their pawns. Is this tribe...?"

Reminded by Audrey, everyone's eyes involuntarily fell on the black egg.

If there was such a possibility.

Like Audrey, if these old men found the thing protected by the fire tribe and exchanged the black egg for it.

Thinking of this, Ethan looked at Audrey, who also thought of this key point.

Besides, Audrey looked more and more certain.

"It seems that those old bastards are quite fast."

After figuring out the key point, Audrey sighed.

Ethan shook his head.

Before this black egg appeared, no matter Ethan or the city, they couldn't know the old bastards hiding in the secret castle mentioned by Audrey.

"What should we do with it?"

"Is this a summoning beast? It hasn't been hatched yet. Is it a dragon egg?"

Julian, who had been watching Ethan for a long time, said excitedly when he heard what Ethan said.

It seemed that he had long been interested in the identity of the black egg.

"I don't think so. If it was a dragon egg, would the witch be willing to give it to goblins?"

Although Grover had the same thought, he didn't care about the identity of the black egg as Julian did.

What's more, Ethan agreed with what Grover said.

If this black egg was a dragon's egg, the witch would probably only keep it instead of exchanging it with the fire tribe.

Wait!

Suddenly, an idea occurred to Ethan.

"No. It's possible. What if the witch is sure to take the black egg back after the thing is done?"

Audrey was stunned.

"It's possible. According to Rogoff's character, he can do so. After all, the most important thing for them now is to complete the sacrifice of the evil. After this sacrifice, I'm afraid that Rogoff will be a high-level witch. At that time, I'm afraid that he will sweep this forest with the natural disaster of the evil spirit, and then wage a war against the countries outside the forest."

"A high-level witch? The countries outside the forest?"

Audrey's words immediately aroused the fantasies of Julian and Grover.

Indeed.

The city was suddenly surrounded by forests. When the summoning book appeared, no one knew what had happened.

Even though goblins and other alien creatures invaded the periphery of the city, most people thought they were still in the original world.

Now, with the help of this black egg, the mysterious veil of the forest where the city was located would be lifted.

"The outside world?"

Ethan was lost in various fancies and conjectures but he cared more about the crisis in front of them.

"Audrey, will the previous sacrifices affect the actions of that witch?"

Audrey nodded.

"Yes, it will. I left the secret castle to look for the tribe in this forest that can be used for large-scale sacrifice. To be honest, the appearance of that city was indeed a pleasant surprise. But I, who attacked that city, had become the capture of your!"

As she spoke, Audrey's face turned coquettish.

Her red tongue even licked her tempting lips in front of Ethan. The scene was so tempting.

"Well! According to your understanding of Rogoff, how long will he find out that you are dead after your sacrifice is interrupted?"

Ethan was right.

Audrey was dead.

"I'm not like those witches who leave a life sign. However, every half a month, I'll return to the secret castle and inform them of my actions. According to the time, there's about a week left!"

Audrey estimated and gave a positive answer.

One week was not a long time.

Although it was a little busy, they still had some spare time to prepare.

Besides, there was another person who was suitable to be the leader of Ethan's team.

"Dolf, can you find that secret castle according to the information Audrey provided?"

The demon knight thought for a moment and nodded.

"Well, if the direction is correct, it should be okay. And my partner's feet are also good. This distance is not too far."

"Well, then you go to find out the location of the secret castle. If possible, you can try to sneak in. Of course, everything should be done under the premise of protecting your safety!"

The soul flame in Dolf's eyes fluctuated.

He knelt and gently tapped his chest with his fist.

"Yes, my master!"

"Go ahead! I'm looking forward to your good news!"
