Chapter 115: Parties
"A book of occult science written by the Duke of the Bloodline?" Hugh Wenyan suddenly became interested, she took the book casually, but after getting it, she found that it felt very thin, and it seemed that it was only a few pages.
After opening it and reading it cursorely, Hugh found that the first few pages were only some of the Duke's ordinary observations in the middle sequence, and he couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Why are there only so many pages?" And...... Look at the handwriting as if you copied it? ”
"Right...... I've only read a few pages of that book so far, and I'll copy it to you when I'm sure it's okay. Abner smiled and nodded, explaining.
He knew that Hugh was very different from her in the original books, especially after becoming an ancient dragon tool man in East Chester County, this "judge" lady had become cautious enough. Although her habit of silent recitation is still there, it is almost impossible to imagine that Russelwin was used as bait to induce her to pronounce the honorific name of "Fool" as in the original book.
So Abner was going to copy the contents of "The Feast of Blood" to her little by little, gradually lowering her vigilance about the book, and finally creating another opportunity for her to get the rubbings given by Viscount Karen. And the name of the fool is hidden in this last step, and it is left to her to discover for herself.
Speaking of which, although the "Blood Feast" that Cullen gave him is a rubbing, the age of the rubbing is not close to the present, at least one or two hundred years of history must be there, which can be seen from the style of the book cover.
And this sense of age can be used to do tricks.
In this world, some knowledge is dangerous in itself, such as the "Spiritual Experience" in Furth's hand, Hugh who understands this feels that Abner is taking a risk for her by doing this, so she purses her lips, looks at Abner steadily, and does not say anything, only seriously: "Thank you, Abner." ”
Hearing Hugh's thanks, and feeling her deep emotion, Abner sighed "ashamed". After all, although he did this to help Hugh, he was taking advantage of the trust between his friends......
In fact, if it weren't for Klein's forgiveness to reveal his name at will, Abner would have wanted to tell Hugh Hugh's honorific name directly. It is believed that with their current friendship, Hugh will most likely choose to believe him and take the initiative to recite the honorific name of "Fool".
It's a pity that doing so would be against the will of the "fool", and while Klein can't do anything to him at the moment, it will inevitably sow the seeds of distrust. As a result, it would be more difficult for Hugh, and even Firth, to join the Tarot Society.
After Hugh put away the hand-copied portion of The Feast of Blood, he and Abner talked about the new news she had received in the Eastside, namely a series of sudden "deaths" against the Storm Lord's followers.
"Is there one in the East End? It seems that the people behind the scenes who planned this incident didn't want the 'substitute punishment' to be too idle......" Abner sighed and put the matter aside, after all, what did the trouble of the Storm Church have to do with him as an intellectual? Not gloating is already very face-saving.
……
Underground of the Cathedral of the Holy Winds.
Ace Snake, the "Singer of the Gods" wearing a black soft hat, swept his silver eyes and said to the elite punisher under him:
"You should be well aware that this 'death' of believers in the East, Bridge, and Docks is a disgrace to all of us as 'substitutes'.
"Your next mission is to investigate and arrest the culprits.
"After the declaration, you have the right to use the Level 1 seal, and you must find out who is targeting us!"
Standing at the forefront, a middle-aged man wearing an improved captain's hat immediately led the crowd, clenched his fist with his hand, struck his chest and said, "Yes, Cardinal!" ”
He is lean and has no characteristic appearance, but he has an anchor-shaped blue and black tattoo on his neck. It was the captain of Beckland's squad of "substitute punishers".
……
West End, in a garden villa on Williams Street.
Rey stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the room with a flower pot, letting the crimson moonlight shine on her body, and the gentle and kind expression on her face, coupled with her enchantment from witches, produced an alternative beauty.
And her figure was plumper than ever, not as slender as she was when she was happy.
Bernard looked at her stupidly, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, his face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he said inwardly: "Rey, what kind of curse did you put on me?" Why do I find it harder and harder to resist your seduction?! ”
'Why?' Hehe, isn't that bad? Rey looked back and smiled coquettishly.
Bernard knew that she refused to tell the truth, but he didn't dare to continue to ask questions, and he didn't even dare to look at her again, so he had to turn his head and say: "Some of the men I sent out to pollute ordinary people with 'extraordinary characteristics' have already fallen into the hands of the Storm Church, although the people who were arrested don't know who they were working for, but if this continues, it will be exposed sooner or later." ”
"Okay, don't complain, withdraw all your people, they have already embodied the value...... Hehe, I'm afraid you don't know yet, because their efforts not only dragged the personnel of the 'Substitute Punisher' further on investigating those tedious 'dead' incidents, but also made the 'God Songr' decide to use the 'Tier 1' seal when appropriate. Rey said slowly as he ran his white fingers over the flower bones.
But her words completely frightened Lieutenant Bernard, and he immediately widened his eyes and said, "Are you crazy? What exactly are you going to do? Provoke the Church of the Storm's 'Level 1' seal, and we'll all be doomed sooner or later, and the Order won't be hostile to something as dangerous as it is to save us. ”
Rey listened with interest to Bernard's hysterical yelling, and when he was done venting, he smiled and said, "Calm down?" Hehe, you've done a great job of what I gave you, so I've decided to give you another reward......"
As she spoke, she untied her clothes and took off her tulle, and walked over to Lieutenant Bernard with a flower pot.
"You...... What are you doing? Bernard was not confused by the "beautiful scenery" in front of him this time, because his spirituality was already in a frenzied warning, as if the person opposite was about to turn into some kind of terrifying monster.
"Yes, of course...... Reward you with a chance to transform and become a part of my little one. ”
Rey's voice was still so crisp and pleasant, and her tone was still so seductive and charming, but at this time, Bernard felt that she was more terrifying than the voice of the devil!
Seeing Rey approaching step by step, Bernard no longer hesitated, rubbed a magical item of "Sun Domain" on his finger, and was about to take the lead.
This is the "Ring of Light" ring he bought at an extraordinary party, which allows the wearer to become a messenger of light, an attendant of the sun, immune to many diseases, and very restrained by the ability of the "Witch of Pain". It can also harness divine power, allowing the wearer to summon a dazzling beam of light and use most solar realm spells.
It's a pity that as soon as he turned this thought, there was a sharp pain in his skull! The pain was so intense that he couldn't even stand still, let alone use magical items.
As for the immune disease effect of the "Halo of Light" ring, it has no effect on this headache at all.
At this time, Rey had already walked in front of Bernard in a naked posture, she looked down at Mr. Lieutenant who was lying on the ground in pain, and said with a smile: "I remember I told you that it is neither an extraordinary ability nor a curse...... Items from the Solar Realm? Hehe, the price should not be low, but it has little effect. ”
With that, she turned and turned her smooth back towards Bernard.
Bernard no longer had the strength to answer her words, and he looked up with all his might, but at the last glance of his life he saw an extremely strange picture:
The crimson moonlight seemed to come to life, extending itself to the intricate pattern tattoo on Rey's back. The tattoo began to squirm slowly in the moonlight, and then it came to life completely, becoming a delicate flower in full bloom.
At the same time, the flower bones in the flower pot that Rey had been holding suddenly opened, turning into a flower that was very similar to the activated tattoo, but the size was as tall as two people, extremely huge!
Then, the flowers in the pot flew in front of Lieutenant Bernard in the blink of an eye, opened their huge petals, and swallowed him.
When it was all over, Rey put on his tulle pajamas again, looked at the flower bones that were still tightly closed in his hands, and said to himself:
"Bernard, I didn't want to move you so early, but you think you can hide from me by deliberately sacrificing the small wrists of a large number of low-level personnel?
"However, since the Storm Church has decided to use the 'Level 1' seal...... Then, you can bring those people into the game as well.
"Hehe, Bernard's methods still have some effect, at least he has made the Witch Sect and MI9 higher-ups suspicious of me...... But so what, without you, I could have found a helper to complete the plan. ”
