Chapter 1711 The Ritual

Author: Night Eleven
Aria nodded. "Madam, I doubt the River God would welcome an outsider like me. Besides, why were you crying just now? It seems like something's weighing on your mind."

Linnea wiped her tears. "The River God is invincible. I used to have a daughter, and I planned to sell her a few years ago. But somehow, the River God must've heard about it.

"The ritual was suddenly moved up, and the village chief came and took my daughter to the riverbank. She never came back.

"The chief told us the River God had taken a liking to her and wanted her to stay by his side to serve him. My husband believed him, but I've always felt something wasn't right. Still, I had no way to prove otherwise."

Aria thought momentarily before replying, "Ma'am, you've suffered a lot over the years. If the River God truly likes me, I'll go with him and see for myself whether your daughter is still there. I'll send you a photo if I find her."

She had already suspected the so-called River God was no different from that f

    Linnea placed a plate of fish on the table. "Who else could it be? It must be the girl chosen this year. She probably got scared—no one wants to be the River God's bride or spend the entire night alone by the riverbank."Kaelen took a drag from his cigarette. "Stop talking and go make two more dishes. You're saying too much."Linnea sighed, took a breath, and returned to the kitchen.Sensing something was off, Aria signaled Landon to stay behind while she went to get more information. Landon understood her signal perfectly, but his method of stalling Kaelen was unusually direct.As Kaelen reached to pour him another cup of tea, Landon moved swiftly. With a single strike, Kaelen froze, his consciousness suspended in place.Landon spoke calmly, "Come on out."The black snake slithered out hesitantly. "S-Sir?"Landon's tone remained casual. "Tell me—what's going on? Why does my presence linger in this place?"The black snake answered quickly, not daring to hesitate. "Don't you r

    Aria knew she was close to uncovering more information but decided not to press further, wary of raising suspicion. Instead, she smoothly changed the topic."I saw two villas earlier—they look so extravagant from the outside. Are they even more luxurious inside? I've never been in a villa before."Kaelen beamed with pride. "Our village chief had them built. They're quite luxurious inside. The chief treats us well. We don't have to work—just follow his instructions, and we get paid."We'll be going to the villa once the ritual begins tonight. I've already been there twice, but I'll take you guys this time so you can see what real luxury looks like!"He then looked toward Landon, who was dressed sharply in a suit. "You look rich too, with that outfit and handsome face."Before Landon could respond, Aria cut in with a playful grin. "Sir, don't be fooled by appearances. He bought that whole outfit for 39 dollars—shipping included! If you want one, just ask him to get one for you."Su

    Meanwhile, the black snake sensed the presence of another of its kind nearby. However, this snake's cultivation level was significantly higher, making the black snake uneasy. Instinctively, it slithered closer to Landon for reassurance.Despite its strength, today was not that snake's lucky day. With Landon's presence completely concealed, it wouldn't even sense him until it was far too late. By then, submission would be its only option—just as it had been at the farmers' market.The four of them continued up the stone steps. Surrounded by lush trees and the sound of birdsong, the atmosphere was peaceful and idyllic.Though the mountain didn't appear tall at first glance, it still took them nearly half an hour to reach the summit.From the top, Aria observed the landscape below. The mountain seemed almost sacred, with a waterfall nestled between crevices and fed by a natural spring—an ideal site for accumulating spiritual energy.The village, hidden deep in this fortunate terrain,

    After the transaction was confirmed, the middle-aged man transformed into a completely different person, smiling as he said, "Follow me. The paths around here are complicated. You'll get lost easily."Aria and Landon nodded and followed Kaelen Stonefoot. As they approached the village entrance, they saw two guards posted at the gate.The two ignored Kaelen's friendly greeting and instead focused on Aria and Landon. "Who are they? Why did you bring outsiders in?"Kaelen kept smiling. "They're my niece and nephew. We don't see each other often, so I brought them along. It just so happens the ritual is tonight. Come on, I'll treat you to drinks on your rest day tomorrow."The guards relaxed a little at that. "Fine, go ahead. But don't let them wander around. We're not picky about food and booze. Just bring us some Billionaire Vodka. No need to go all out."Kaelen's face twitched, and he replied half-heartedly, "Sure. I'll arrange it for you tomorrow."Billionaire Vodka? he thought b

    Aria stepped forward, intending to approach the river, but Landon stopped her. "There's something else over there," he said.Something else? Aria followed his gaze. She had to give Landon credit—his eyesight was impressive. He had spotted a piece of yellow paper wedged at the bottom of a rock.She frowned. "Has someone been burning offerings here?"Burning yellow paper was typically reserved for the dead or for spiritual rituals. But who would do that here? Judging by the paper's condition and color, it didn't seem to originate from this area.Aria bent down and picked it up, then turned back to the others. "Noa, have you checked the mountain?""The mountain?" Noa shook his head. "The river doesn't seem to come from the mountains."Aria chuckled. "Maybe not now, but it probably does during heavy rainfall."She walked a short distance and stopped at a spot along the bank. "There are signs of erosion here. Check if there was any heavy rain about a month ago."The black snake, sti

    "I doubt you were being hunted. With your abilities, you could have returned any time you wanted," Aria said calmly.She had already gauged the black snake's level of cultivation based on its ability to manipulate humans. If she and Landon hadn't shown up by chance, the snake might have hypnotized the stall owner into doing something terrible.The snake shuddered and bowed low. "Miss, it's true that I had some bad intentions in the past. I won't dare to repeat them. But I had my reasons for targeting that man."The river only became like this after he arrived last month. You saw the dead fish. It's not normal for them to die in this season."Aria understood that well enough. Something was clearly off. However, she had already read the stall owner's fortune earlier. Though he had killed many wild animals, he wasn't evil. In fact, he was rather straightforward. A man like that wouldn't have the capacity to cause something this serious."You said the river suddenly turned like this a

    Aria could understand the snake, not because she could talk to animals, but because this particular snake had gained the ability to speak human language after its spirit matured.Still, no snake would ever willingly reveal such an ability. If a talking snake were discovered in Grindham, it wouldn't be worshipped or studied. People would likely assume it was some rare, exotic delicacy.Removing her helmet and hanging it on the handlebar of her bike, Aria leaned casually against it and glanced at the snake. "You've been here before?"The black snake didn't dare hide anything from Aria. It slithered a little farther from Landon and trembled. "Miss, to be honest, I used to guard this river."As it spoke, the snake even bowed respectfully.Aria raised an eyebrow. Spiritual energy wasn't as strong as it used to be, so true dragons were now mostly found in remote areas, like the deep mountains of Longspire Peaks or the open seas.Even so, it was still unusual for a black snake to be giv

    Aria furrowed her brows. She knew things weren't that simple. Under normal circumstances, the Special Missions Unit members wouldn't call her directly. They only appeared in cases of absolute emergency. There weren't many of them to begin with—each one a top expert in their field, despite seeming like ordinary people.Only two or three were assigned to each city across the country, and it was no easy task to keep a low profile and avoid exposure. If their identity were compromised, they would be swiftly replaced. And yet, Noa Rennar had chosen to expose himself. That alone spoke volumes about the gravity of the situation."I'm on my way."Without hesitation, Aria brought the black snake and Landon, hopping onto her Tomahawk.Her motorcycle blended seamlessly into Grindham's streets, but Landon's attire turned heads. He definitely didn't look like someone who rode motorbikes.Together, the two were undeniably eye-catching, especially to motorcycle enthusiasts who recognized the v
