Chapter 328: The Bell Rings Again

"Isn't it dead like that?" After making sure that his neck would not be broken, Jack carefully got up from the ground, and asked the mage beside him suspiciously. Although he was beaten out of the castle, he still saw the last of Erdu, and judging from the common sense of the werewolves, this time even if the demon's vitality is strong, he may not be able to return to the sky.

"I'm afraid not. Cheese shook his head, and he looked at his right hand playfully, the one that had just broken the demon didn't look any different. However, the mage knew very well that the blow just now could have killed Erdo completely, and he had no intention of staying strong, but the moment he struck, Cheese clearly felt that the burst of power was less than one-tenth of what he expected. Something was holding him back from using this power.

That demon wasn't dead, that's the only thing the mage can be sure of. Erdo's body may have collapsed, but its life was never over, and the demon must still be alive somewhere, plotting its revenge. Cheese now only hoped that Erdo would settle the account on the Grey Tower, and with what he knew about his teacher, the Lord of the Grey Tower would not care about such an enemy.

"How's the King?" the mage saw that Jack seemed to be fine, and turned to ask about the others.

Elsa walked around the werewolf twice, but she had heard about Jack's previous tragic situation, and it was hard to imagine that the serious injury to her neck torn could be recovered by such a simple means. However, she still heard Cheese's inquiry, so although she focused on the werewolf, she replied, "Your Majesty is fine, it seems that he is just unconscious." The Grand Knight Captain and Heather may not be able to move anymore due to their injuries, and Mona is taking care of them. ”

"What about the others, is there anything else going on?" The appearance of the demon was no coincidence, and it could even be said that the other party deliberately let the cheese discover the evil aura on the king's body and force out of Dodo. Therefore, their purpose was definitely not to rely on Erdu to kill the Cheese Priest, strictly speaking, there was absolutely no reason for the mage and his allies to fight the demon to the death in order to protect the king, after all, they had already obtained the information they wanted.

Then, excluding pure negligence, the appearance of the demon is like a cover-up attempt to drag the movement of the people in the castle. The man who drove Erdu didn't care how much trouble it could cause Cheese and the others, all he wanted was to buy time for his next move. The question that Cheese must face now is, what is the next step for the other party?

"We haven't heard any news yet, probably because of our ties in the castle, but we can only be sure that the funeral was canceled for this. The soldiers presiding over the funeral were coming this way. The proprietress helped the hobbling Jack so that he could keep his head from skewed, "By the way, you'd better go and meet Heather alone, she doesn't look good." You know, she's been a little bit since we were kidnapped by those weird guys..."

The mage waved his hand, signaling that he already knew about it. In fact, he had already noticed the abnormality of the female knight in the battle just now, but because the situation on the battlefield was too urgent, he didn't have time to care about these things. Although the wet soul is one of the milder among the many high-ranking beings, the fact that he is extremely dangerous remains unchanged, and Heather's awakening of the blood of the rain god may not be a good thing for her.

As Cheese walked towards the room where the injured were resting, a butterfly fluttered from the rain to his shoulder, a butterfly made of paper. The mage casually took the paper butterfly in his hand, and he could feel the magic from above from Emia, a witch allied to him, and the mother of his titular fiancée, Kolanty. Unsuspecting him, the mage took the butterfly apart and unfolded it into a slip of paper that read, "They are gone," in the language of the caster.

Cheese understood what Emia meant after a moment's thought, and it was clear that there was only one possibility for the Red Witch to call them "them", the members of the witch group who had come to hunt her and her daughter after her. These witches from the previous witch group of Aimia were guided by someone to find Amiya who had betrayed the witch group at this very awkward time.

But this caused the mage to get into more problems, and from what he knew about witches, once the members of the witch group had locked down the traitor, they might spend years or even decades slowly weakening their former sister, leaving the traitor in absolute despair before killing him. However, any record of witches suggests that they will not abandon their brutal revenge by ignoring the targets they have found. This is completely out of line with the witch's code of conduct.

The witch's unusual behavior and the sudden appearance of the demon were linked together in Cheese's mind, and if there was a connection between them? What if the witches hastily withdrew because they had received some kind of warning, such as that the king's insurance had been triggered?

"Knock! knock!" the bell rang again, but this time it was not as slow and melodious as it had been before the funeral, and the rapid impact grasped people's hearts step by step like a ghost. This is the bell of the enemy attack, and this time, the enemy is from within the royal capital.

Cheese's eyes glowed with magic when he heard the bell, and the raindrops that should have fallen on him seemed to be invisibly affected, dodging the mage's body and falling elsewhere. At this point, Cheese's eyes no longer saw the scenery in front of him, but the perspective from the sky. This is a spell that allows the caster to gain distant vision, but the conditions for releasing it are also quite harsh, and in the process of using this magic, the mage will completely lose his sense of the situation around him, and he will not be able to guard against the dangers around him.

However, the current cheese can no longer take care of so much, although the battle in the throne hall has consumed a lot of his physical strength, but he still commands the perspective in the sky to scan the royal capital, trying to find the source of the alarm. Soon, he discovered that the source of all the chaos was nowhere else, but the square where the funeral was held. And those so-called enemies are corpses that are too late to be cremated at the funeral. They, or rather, they, stood up again.
