Chapter 175: The Skull

Hugo, Brown Knight, and Thomas stood in the distance and watched the strange magic gate, no one dared to approach, as if the gate was connected to the entrance to hell, but it was not a solution to stay here all the time, who knows what will happen after a while?

"I can't go through the door, it seems that I can only go upstairs now" Thomas turned his head to look at the dark spiral staircase, in fact, he really didn't want to go upstairs, who knew what else was waiting for them upstairs?

Hugo also sighed in his heart, he knew that going upstairs to find that damn John was the only way at this time, he really didn't dare to face that terrifying gate.

The Brown Knight walked up the stairs with a heavy axe in his hand, followed by the pale exorcist, and finally Hugo with a wand, Hugo originally meant that he didn't want the Brown Knight to take the lead, but seeing Thomas's miserable appearance of 'falling in the wind', his cheeks twitched and he didn't say much, he felt that this exorcist should really have no means, otherwise it would be impossible to even consume the last relics of his partner Morin, and it would be useless to let him take the lead, so it was better to let him die directly.

When the Brown Knight reached the second floor, a large hole on the side of the corridor immediately attracted his attention, and there were still black burn-like marks on the edge of the hole, obviously a powerful force had violently exploded on the wall, and the corridor was in a mess, looking like a big battle.

The Brown Knight stood in the corridor and did not rush up, but waited for Thomas and Hugo behind him to come up one after another, and when Hugo saw the big hole in the wall, he was also surprised, it seems that the process of expelling evil spirits is still quite difficult.

"Merlin and I met here a spirit parasitized by something like a black tendril, the hole in the wall was left during the battle with it, the black weird root is supposed to be the means used by Francis Bacon to manipulate these spirits, and the wild wizard also met one, I think they are the souls of the wizards who came here to exorcise demons before"

"You mean Francis Bacon's wraith can imprison other people's souls and manipulate them? How is this possible?" Brown Knight, who was standing on the side, heard Thomas's words, his expression changed, obviously not expecting Bacon's wraith to have this ability. He had never heard of anything that could manipulate other people's souls, because there was no law on the causes of spirits, and no one knew why they were generated, let alone manipulating them, but it seemed that Bacon's spirits knew such a method.

Originally, Thomas had been trying his best to get the notebook and spread the news of the holy relic Shroud of Turin, so most of his energy was focused on this, and he had been very nervous since the exorcism, and then Morin died in front of his eyes, which filled his heart with sadness, and many things were not taken into account, at this time he suddenly heard the words of the Brown Knight, and immediately felt that something was wrong.

The soul has always been the realm of God! Can Bacon's resentful spirits actually touch the realm of God now? Impossible! But what are those strange black roots? Are those parasitic spirits really controlled by Bacon, as he suspected? It is very possible by all indications!

The notebook says that Francis Bacon tried in vain to get his hands on the relics! Did he succeed? What do those strange roots have to do with this? Some time ago, the great battle of the black and white wizards in Limoges also revealed layers of strangeness, could they and Bacon discover some secrets in the holy relics?

Such a major news has not been transmitted to the Holy See in detail until now, and it has been passed to the hands of Abbot Otiro, which is definitely related to the blockade of the news by the wizarding forces, and now it is very likely that the matter of the Shroud of Turin has come to an end, that is to say, the Shroud of Turin is likely to have been obtained by wizards!

But now the question is whether the Shroud of Turin is in the hands of the White Wizard or in the hands of the Dark Wizard? In fact, it is a problem in the hands of both the White Wizard and the Dark Wizard, and the fact that the Holy See and the White Wizard camp are in an alliance does not mean that the Holy See can forcibly demand a holy relic from the White Wizard without evidence.

And if it is in the hands of the dark wizards, it is even more disgusting, their base camp is not within the influence of the Holy See at all, and it is even more difficult to retrieve the holy relics!

Just as Thomas was frowning and pondering, Brown Knight suddenly frowned, his hands subconsciously clenched the battle axe, and the well-honed warrior's instinct allowed him to instinctively make the most sensible defense when he felt that there was danger.

Suddenly, there was a low murmur in the air, like someone whispering vaguely in the distance, and this whisper soon became clear, and a vicious curse sound appeared in the ears of the three people!

'Intruder! Damn intruder, reptile who broke into Bacon's house!Kill them, kill!'

A hideous-looking head suddenly appeared in the big hole in the wall, this head had a pair of big resentful eyes on it, just staring at the three people from the hole, and this strange head actually appeared five in a row! What made Hugo's back even more chilling was that there was no body under these heads at all!

These are the heads of five house-elves suspended in mid-air! These ornaments, which had been severed off and magically treated by the Honor Executor, stared at them viciously as if they had been resurrected, and a strange magical aura came from their heads, giving people a very strong visual impact.

A scream of 'Ah!!hh

The distance between the two sides is too close! There is not much reaction time at all, but fortunately, Hugo was in an unsafe state when he was downstairs, and he already had a strong sense of crisis, so he always had an iron armor charm on his body, so he would not panic at this time.

And for a battle-hardened warrior, Brown, who was on alert at all times, instantly wielded a huge two-handed axe, and slashed sideways at the fastest flying head with a 'whoosh'. 10
