Chapter Ninety-Eight: Xuanyu's Speculation
The cemetery, located behind the church of Itasuike, is not very large, and it is also buried by Agrim's royal relatives, including the previous king. The cemetery www.biquge.info was as silent as ever, and the crows on the old trees were chirping and flying into the sky, and the leaves were falling. In late autumn, I am afraid that only this place is the most bleak. As if entering another situation, the three of them shivered unconsciously, and obviously felt that the temperature had dropped a lot.
As Louis said, there's really nothing to see here. At a glance, you can see the edge, except for the place where the dead live, there is a large tree that attracts sunlight. There are no suspicious corridors, and there are no unknown gates. Louis didn't believe that the entrance to the underground palace was here, and neither did Lucia.
Only Xuanyu frowned tightly, looking up at the blue sky, the sunlight was not dazzling, as if it was sprinkled through a veil and became soft. But in this cemetery, it is a little cold and gloomy.
There's no magic guarding here!!" was Xuanyu's conclusion after observing the surroundings, but he was clearly not happy with it. There was a vague message in the air telling him that even if there were no magical guards, there should be something here. It's just that the information is too vague for Xuanyu to see everything, after all, Lucia hasn't sucked blood for a long time, and even eating bloody steak is just a drop in the bucket. Coupled with all the consumption in between, Xuanyu felt that the spiritual power was declining at an astonishing rate, and it seemed that it was time to contact Mo An.
Life in the Palazzo Reino under the sun was glamorous but boring, and after a series of posturing and boring jokes, Lucia and Xuanyu survived until nightfall with the cooperation of Louis. Upon returning to the room, Princess Kate's pupils turned green and the maid returned to her original form. Although the night was deep and a thick drowsiness filled the entire Reino Palace, their adventure tonight had just begun.
At twelve o'clock in the night, Louie used the hidden egg he had taken last time, and knocked on their door in such a paradoxical way that he relied on and was hostile to the magic props.
"Are you going to church?" Louis got straight to the point, "there's something suspicious there?"
"Yes!" Xuanyu replied categorically, but there was no corroboration, it was just intuition, but as a blood demon, it was enough. It's just that Louis as a human can't understand it yet, but it doesn't matter.
"In that case," said Louis, "the search should not be difficult tonight, and the church of Itasuike, together with the cemetery behind it, is not very large. Besides, there's no magic guarding it. β
"The point is that there is no magic guarding there, which is very suspicious!" Xuanyu emphasized, "Captain Sandra may have thought wrong, and the trip to the church is full of murderous intentions." β
"Oh, do you have a basis?" said Louie.
Xuanyu shook his head: "Intuition! If I had to say it, it was just my speculation. The vast Reino Palace is full of enchantments and magic walls, and even more so there are several guardian spirits in one room. But isn't it strange that the church of Itasuay alone has nothing?"
"Of course it's strange," Lucia interjected, "I found out when I visited today, there was originally a guardian beast there, but now there is no trace of it, but there are still some clues. β
Taking Lucia's words, Xuanyu continued, "So what is it that makes Itasuaike no longer under the protection of magic?"
Louie's eyes rolled, and then it dawned on him, "It's a haunted event!"
Xuanyu stretched out his thumb: "I think so too, on the other hand, if the haunting incident is not groundless." Then there must be something near the church that is holding back the magic guards. β
"In other words," Lucia explained, "there must be something there that even the magical guards of Reyno's Palace can't control." β
Lucia's words really made Louie feel tricky, but Xuanyu's subsequent words were even more of a headache for her.
"My advice is......" Xuanyu said, "you don't enter the church tonight, or life and death will be unpredictable." β
Knowing that this was not Xuanyu's bluff, Louis still did not change her mind, her reason was "If there are factors in the church that destabilize the palace, then as the captain of the Praetorian Guard, you should take the lead and investigate clearly!"
Xuanyu called it dutiful, while Lucia thought it was brainless. Regardless, Louis followed Xuanyu and Lucia in the direction of the church of Itasuike.
At night, the church of ItasuaΓ―ke looks more and more eerie. It was as quiet as a stagnant pool, devoid of life, except for the cold light cast by the moon reflected on the old silver candlesticks.
The three of them walked around the church for almost an hour, but they didn't find anything, and the danger in Xuanyu's mouth did not come. But Xuanyu didn't feel relieved at all, just like during the day, the indescribable abnormality became more and more obvious at night, and it came from the cemetery behind.
"I still think you should stay here. Before opening the small door to the cemetery, Xuanyu suggested again, and this time Louis still did not listen. But she was left in the church, but only after Lucia knocked her unconscious from behind.
"If we have malicious intentions, the Praetorian Guard and the Reino Palace will not be able to resist at all. Helping Louis aside, Lucia said to herself.
"The so-called Dao is one foot high and the demon is one foot high," Xuanyu laughed lightly, "If you use unscrupulous means, no matter what kind of copper wall and iron wall will be breached." But then again, do you really think the two of us can turn this place upside down?"
"Can't you?" said Lucia, leaning at her waist, looking fearless.
Xuanyu shook his head slowly: "Despising the enemy will cause immeasurable losses. He opened the door to the cemetery as he spoke, "Well, let's see how strong our enemies are!"
The figures of the two entering the cemetery are refracted by a huge crystal prism and appear in the gloomy room. The twin puppets still stood respectfully aside, but they never saw Gu Ren again. Behind the black curtain, the "master" alone admired the movements of Xuanyu and Lucia in the pillar of light, and snickered from time to time.
"The dress level made it easy for them to get past it, this time ......"
The twin puppets immediately replied, "Please rest assured, master, they are all ready!"
After another burst of snickering, the "master" said: "Go and tell him that you can only succeed and not fail, after all, it was not easy to lure them into Reino Palace!"
The twin puppets said in unison, "Yes, master." β
"Also," the man behind the scenes continued, "go find out why the 'wolf spirit' left!"
"Obey!" the twin puppets finished speaking, turned around and stepped into the magic array together, and disappeared in an instant. Leaving only the people behind the curtain, they continued to monitor Xuanyu and Lucia with great interest!
