Chapter 29: Reasoning

"Young master!" The assassin at the door immediately flashed in front of Locke at the moment when the murderous aura overflowed in the room, and held the dagger in both hands upside down, and put on a defensive posture against the enemy.

"Wait." Locke put his hand on the Assassin's shoulder, motioning for him to step aside, and he took another step towards the grid.

Not afraid of danger?

"Woo woo woo~" The girl's low cry came from the dark cubicle, and the murderous aura around her also dissipated, and the pair of lustful red pupils disappeared together.

Locke slowly approached cautiously and tentatively, "Telisa? I'm here, and no one can hurt you. ”

In the dark darkness, Teresa sobbed and looked up outside: "Woo...... Few...... Master? ”

"That's right, it's me, good girl, come out." Locke said as he reached out to her and flicked it towards himself.

Teresa stopped crying, slowly stood up, took a few steps outward, and immediately pounced when she saw it clearly: "Master Locke!" ”

"Huh!" Facing the girl who flew over, Locke snorted and took two steps back, and the assassin next to him walked back to the door with interest.

"Woooooooooo......oo Master, I'm so scared, I thought I'd never see you again. ”

"It's okay, it's all over, good boy, it's all right."

Holding the boneless girl in front of him, Locke soothed in a tone that was not appropriate for his age.

After a long time, the sobbing stopped, but the two still hugged each other tightly.

"Are you feeling better?"

Theresa didn't answer, just nodded slightly, and after a moment of warmth, they reluctantly parted.

Locke looked at the girl in front of him who was hanging her head so that he could not see her face, and asked softly, "Can you tell me what happened?" ”

Teresa lowered her head and reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, raised her crimson cheeks to look at him, and said with teary eyes: "I heard a lot of noise downstairs, and then I was scared for a moment and remembered something bad, like a nightmare." ”

Locke was slightly surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What scene?" ”

Telisa: "The fire, the houses, the sound of people running, it's like the ones downstairs. ”

It was when the team of executors of the church attacked the village...... Locke continued, "What else?" Can you think about yourself? ”

Teresa shook her head, looked down and kneaded her braids, and said, "I have the feeling that every time I think about these things, a vague figure appears to interrupt, I don't know who he is, maybe someone from before. ”

Close relatives? Her second personality?

Locke comforted her in his arms again.

Thinking back to the murderous aura and red pupils that appeared in the previous moment, Locke was sure that her second personality identity was that of the Blood Clan, belonging to Cain City, and it seemed that she had always protected her.

But now Cain is not bloodlined, and her second personality is...... The church has been hunting ...... More than a decade later, Cain's entire city was slaughtered, but by then it was indeed all blood-based......

Locke quickly put together the fragmented clues, analyzed them, and connected them, and finally came to the information: the current Cain City and the Protestant Church of Servi are digging the 'Holy Grail Dungeon' with all their might. According to the original historical records, the research of Cain City has made a breakthrough faster than the church, and Teresa has awakened the blood personality in advance, that is to say, the breakthrough point is here in Telisa! She's a test subject for Cain research?

Wrong!

Locke suddenly sounded that while wandering through the ruined castle, he found a document that gave a detailed explanation of the origins of the Cain City bloodline, including a passage that said that a researcher's defection caused a minor accident.

A defected researcher?

If that researcher is Teressa's mother, or father? After studying for a while, he left Cain City and returned to live in the countryside, and when he left, he took a little research and development potion, thinking that he would use it for his own protection, after all, he was a researcher and knew the power of this potion.

After that, the church didn't know where to get the news, and immediately sent a team of executors to snatch it, and Telisa's parents injected the potion into Teresa at the moment of life and death, because it was an unfinished product, so it led to the emergence of her second personality, and finally caused the current situation.

When you think about it, everything makes sense!

Locke hugged the girl in his arms tightly in an excited mood.

"Young Master?"

"Ah, I'm sorry."

Realizing that he was too excited and increased his strength, Locke hurriedly let go, "Did it hurt you?" ”

Teresa lowered her head and shook it, her cheeks flushed, her hands twisted the corners of her skirt, looking like a young girl with a spring in her arms.

Locke looked at her and smiled: maybe Beckman felt pity when he saw her so weak.

...... Was he involved in the murder of Teressa's parents in the first place? ...... Probably not, but more likely, her parents were in front of her to fend off the Executors, and she ran out to meet Beckman, who patrolled the village for the fish that had slipped through the net, so that they could escape the murderous Executors' frontal siege unscathed.

......

After a while, the two of them left the room and prepared to go downstairs, when they came to the stairs, there was a sudden noise from below, which made Telisa, who was holding Locke's arm, nervous.

Locke: "Ralph. ”

Assassin: "Yes, young master. ”

Locke: "Stay and protect her." ”

Assassin: "Obey the young master." ”

With Teresa arranged, Locke calmly walked down the stairs towards the hall below.

......

"This prey was caught by Lao Tzu Xingxing! Two gold coins! ”

"Let your stewards come out!"

"Not a word less!"

"Yes, yes!"

A group of people from the town crowded at the door of the tavern and shouted loudly, and there was a guy who was tied up and beaten to the ground at the same time, and his face was swollen and sandwiched between the five big and three thick men on the left and right - Locke had said before that anyone who caught a living bandit would be rewarded with a gold coin, and it seems that these guys did catch one, the ones who had broken and fled before.

Confronted by them were the undead warriors in a half-circle, with Beckman and the Silver Hunters at the rear.

The corpses in the hall had all been disposed of, and the potholed ground had been hastily filled.

This is what Locke saw as he came down the stairs.

"Young master!"

Seeing that the two commanders in the back were so respectful to the hunters coming down the stairs, needless to say, this must be in charge!

Everyone present suddenly fell silent, and each began to think in their hearts: This is the legendary bountyman? A stinky imp pretending? (To be continued)
