1038 Lightning strikes
The Archbishop's Council is simpler than you think. Back at the Northshire Abbey, Monica said in disbelief, "They succumbed so easily? ”
In Monica's mind, this time it was a joint pressure from several archbishops, and if she didn't show enough toughness, or even pay a certain price, there was no way to 'convince' the old thing.
But they didn't expect it, just went up and scolded a few words, and then Gabeta threw a sword out, and they all shut up. And also agreed to Monica's request.
"Actually, it's normal." Beta explained: "They have a big family, and it is impossible to confront someone like you, who has nothing but a temple, but is very strong, and it is not worth it in their opinion." And it is not difficult to help you find out the news, anyway, if everyone is embarrassed, it is equivalent to no shame. ”
Monica laughed and asked with a smile, "Did you help me get angry when you threw the weapon out just now?" ”
Beta shook his head very flatly: "No, I just don't want that archbishop to drive the atmosphere, if he succeeds, we will be in some trouble." ”
Monica didn't believe it, she looked at Beta with a smile and said, "It's hard-mouthed, but I just know what's going on." ”
She smirked and twisted her waist out of Beta's room.
Beta thought for a moment and went to the prince's estate.
Because they were acquaintances, he soon met the prince.
The meeting was in the prince's bedroom, which was filled with a stimulating smell of heather, and the prince was still holding his upper body, holding a somewhat beautiful maid.
When he saw Beta, he smiled sleepily and said, "Yo, isn't this Your Excellency Li Lin who took the money and didn't do anything?" Why, the power of money still hasn't let you get out from under Ms. Celia's pomegranate dress? ”
What Bowens meant was that the fifty gold coins didn't make Beta betrayal, which made him feel a little strange.
"As I said, that's just my payment for helping you once." Beta said in a flat tone: "I came here this time just to ask, do you still have any ideas about paying me this period of time?" ”
Beta didn't look down on the other party's gold coins, he just came to find out.
The prince paused, then smiled: "Haha, you don't want to be my subordinate, why should I send you money." And you have to understand that there is almost no possibility of reconciliation between me and Celia, and you can only choose one side to join. ”
Beta looked at the prince's bald head, smiled, and left the room.
Walking down the street, Beta chuckled.
The prince is avoiding suspicion, and the current prince looks like a gentleman. This is completely different from the temperament and ability shown before. It's like two different people.
No matter how you look at it, this person who can escape from the royal strife to the Holy City of Life should not fall so fast, thinking about it, Beta only came to one conclusion.
The prince knew something, and he was afraid of something.
At the same time, to whom is it indicated that he is not capable of influencing the overall situation? I don't know if it has anything to do with the girl's disappearance.
Beta thought it was interesting.
If the archbishop can't find anything, the prince may be a breakthrough here.
Upon returning to the temple, Beta spoke her thoughts to Monica, who immediately sent out more than a dozen spider avatars to spy on Prince Bowens.
Two days later, one of the archbishop's henchmen discovered some important clues and immediately told Monica and Beta.
The two of them searched for clues to find the past,
Then in an abandoned warehouse in the suburbs, rummag through the debris and find a secret passage. Cautiously entered, there was nothing unusual along the way, but when I went down to the bottom, I smelled a rancid smell.
At this time, Beta already had a bad premonition, it was dark below, he had a real vision, not affected by light, and Monica also had dark vision from the spider incarnation.
Neither of them needed light, and they saw more than a dozen corpses in the empty basement, and they walked up with their noses covered, and then their faces were very gloomy.
These dozen corpses are all young girls, their whole bodies are red, many parts have rotted, and the faces of the lucky ones are not swollen or rotten, but they can recognize the original appearance, if the faces are rotten, then there is really no way to identify them.
Beta was furious in his heart, and he felt a twitch in his head, but quickly calmed down again.
Monica looked inside for a moment and said, "This, this, and this, it's our people. ”
"I know." Beta's voice was a little low, he squatted down, looked at it for a while, and said, "All the arteries in the girl's neck have been opened, and they are wounds caused by sword weapons. They all died of blood loss. ”
"Bloodletting?"
"It smells of evil god sacrifice." Beta looked around: "I can feel it. ”
"It won't be ......," Monica pointed to the sky.
In the holy city of life, it refers to the sky, which naturally means the goddess of life. And Monica, as the god of the queen of spiders, of course she knows who the true identity of the goddess of life is now.
There are a lot of gods in the spider queen, and she can't control them. Most of the gods are dark elves, and there are relatively few gods in the human race.
So, Monica's luck is actually quite good.
Beta shook her head, "No, I feel another smell of blood, a bit like a vampire." ”
"Isn't it extinct?"
Beta shook his head again, he still remembered the epic quest given by the last system quest, which allowed him to find the Vampire True Ancestor. As a result, a fake was found, and although the system still considered the task to be completed, Beta knew that the vampire True Ancestor should still be alive.
As he thought so, he threw out a ball of flame and incinerated the corpses.
"Don't look for clues?"
"The other party was cautious and didn't leave anything noteworthy." Beta was a little upset: "But I made a note of the residual magic smell here for the time being, and if I encounter it in the future, I should be able to feel it." ”
"Go back then?"
"Let's go back first."
The two went out to the secret passage, and Monica wanted to say something again, but Beta suddenly went to the ground, reached out and grabbed Monica's waist, and pulled her into his arms.
Monica was stunned for a moment, and then a little surprised, could it be that Beta wanted to ...... here Well, okay, it seems to be quite interesting.
Monica's cheeks flushed slightly, and before she could get any happier, Beta jumped backwards with her in her arms, only to see a huge white ball of electricity fall from the sky and smash into the abandoned warehouse.
