Chapter 155: Aftermath
"Mr. Cullen, why are you here?" Seeing the comer, Abner was surprised.
"I was chasing this witch...... I didn't expect her to die at your hands! Cullen looked at Rey's headless corpse and replied with a smile.
With that, his eyes crossed over the corpse and fell on Ms. Dai Li, who had been smiling since he appeared.
Seeing him looking at Ms. Daly, Abner hurriedly introduced, "Mr. Karen, this is Ms. Daly of the Night Church. The witch was actually killed by me and Ms. Daly. ”
Karen bowed slightly, and told Dali about each other's names as a gesture of politeness.
Since the relationship between the Church of the Night and the Church of Mother Earth God is very ordinary, Cullen did not greet Dalido, but told them about the fierce battle in the vineyard before, and finally said:
"Because Rey was stabbed by the 'Goddess Sword', I concluded that there was a high probability that she would have an accident during the escape, so I used her blood to indicate the direction, and then I chased after her."
"It turns out that the witch was inserted by His Excellency Secima, no wonder she is so unlucky." Dai Li said suddenly when she heard this.
Hearing this, the corners of Karen's mouth twitched, although there was nothing wrong, but why did it sound wrong?
Abner finally understood why the "Gold Solomon" worked so well today......
"Go back and continue the feast, I'm here to watch the extraordinary properties...... I think the people of the church should be coming soon. Cullen glanced at the black jelly-like substance that was pouring out of the witch's body, and turned to Abner and the others.
Ms. Dai Li naturally had no objections, and she trusted the official extraordinary, even if it was not an official of Rune, so she got out of the car first.
"Okay." Abner answered first, but did not hurry to leave, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Mr. Karen, the situation of Bishop Utravsky does not seem to be good...... Do you have any potions that can help him? ”
After hearing this, Cullen smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, the bishop is a god, and his will and faith are very strong, so he won't have an accident so easily...... He should have come to his senses by this time. ”
"Divine ......," Abner repeated, and then relaxed.
At this time, Karen suddenly waved his hand to drive away the nearby spirits, and then glanced at Ms. Dalie, who had walked a short distance through the car window, before whispering to Abner: "Abner, that Ms. Dali has a depraved temperament, and she is not a suitable spouse...... In comparison, Miss Hugh, Miss Forth, and even Miss Susan, who are closer to you, are more compatible with you, and they are all pure maidens. ”
As a Bloodline, he only likes pure and beautiful girls. A woman like Dai Li, who had once wandered into a skeleton, was born with a bit of disgust.
"Lady Daly has fallen for a while, but she has been redeemed by an upright gentleman......" Abner explained to Daly in a straight way, and then said angrily, "What kind of image am I in your eyes?" You say I'm like a playboy like Russell the Great......"
"Russell is not as subtle as you in the relationship between men and women, he was ...... back then Forget it, I'm telling you what I'm doing here. Karen shook his head, suddenly remembered something, and continued, "By the way, do you still owe me a promise?" ”
"Yes, what do you want me to do for you?" Abner asked warily. He didn't want to settle the bill, he just wanted to assess the risk of the matter.
"Don't be nervous, as I said before, it's not dangerous." Karen first waved his hand, and then said thoughtfully, "I see that you are very popular with girls, and you should know the little girl's mind very well...... So I wanted you to help me pick out some gifts to bring to my sister......"
Abner was relieved to hear the request. He didn't bother to argue with the other party about whether he liked girls or not, and whether he knew how to choose what girls liked...... Anyway, just buy him some gifts. As for whether Karen's sister likes it or not, what does that matter to him?
"How old is your sister?" Thinking of this, Abner asked casually.
"Uh...... Less than a hundred years old. ”
……
Thursday morning, the basement of the Cathedral of the Holy Winds.
Because he has been in charge of monitoring Grant's clothing store, McConaughey "The Wind Bearer" has become the only remaining intact member of Beckland's "Punisher" team, and has acted as the captain.
He was holding a notebook at the moment to report the news from all parties to Ace Snake, the "Singer of the Gods".
"Witch Rey has been plotting '2-001' as a ritual for her future promotion after being ambushed by us once in the first place.
"However, when she went from pleasure to pain, she used a 'ritual' that was a former follower of Mother Earth who believed in the 'primordial moon', so she was tainted and showed signs of spiritual division...... Or maybe a new personality is quietly changing her.
"Through her connections in MI9 and some of the nobility, she constantly harassed the Lord's followers, created problems for us, and further distracted us.
Later, she covertly contaminated '2-001' through her actions at the Daily Observer's headquarters, and was able to detect the location of the seal using special means...... At that time, Detective Bryan reminded us of this through Evan, but unfortunately we didn't pay attention to it.
"Witch Rey must have learned of the existence of '1-025' through her connections in Episode 9, and tried to entice us to use this seal to divinate her location. And she secretly contacted the demigods of the Rose School, using this seal as bait to contain you......
"The witch's plan eventually succeeded, and she successfully used the three 'holy relics' to get rid of the control of the 'Primordial Moon' and took '2-001' from the captain's hand.
"Unfortunately, she underestimated the impact of the 'Sword of the Goddess' and fell into doom without knowing it, and was eventually killed by Detective Bryan and a night watchman.
"In the end, the extraordinary properties of the Witch of Pain were taken away by His Excellency St. Anthony, and the 'Harvest Sacrifice' trait attached to the flower was recovered by the Mother Earth God Church, and '2-001' was returned to us."
"Wind Favorer" McConaughey closed the note, his eyes were full of heaviness, after all, Beckland's "Punisher" team suffered heavy losses this time, not only was almost everyone from the captain down seriously injured, but even the "Wind Favorer" was killed in the battle! Not to mention the loss of a "Level 1" seal.
"We owe a lot of favors to Mother Earth God Church and Night Church this time...... Without their help, Kuhn probably won't be able to come back......" Snake sighed wearily, and then said to the only "Wind Favorite" under his command who could still move, "I have already reported this matter to the Templars, and the reply I have received is that the supervision of the Mother Earth Church can be relaxed. ”
"To what extent?" McConaughey asked.
"It is still not allowed to preach in public, but Harvest Church is allowed to hold a Mass once a week." Snake replied.
"That'...... Over there in the Night Church? ”
"Send us all the information we got from Hazel about the 'Thief' demigods, they suffered a loss last time, and they must want to save face." Snake said after a moment's thought.
Seeing that McConaughey had no objections, the "Singer of the Gods" stood up and was about to leave, when he suddenly stopped again, turned his back to his team and asked, "How is Kuhn?" ”
"Saved his life under the treatment of the 'Desolate'...... However, he used the 'holy relic' excessively, and his spirit was seriously polluted, and I am afraid that he will no longer be able to serve as the contractor and captain of the 'holy relic'. McConaughey sighed, his face full of gloom.
"Then when he recovers, let him guard the seals underground......" After speaking, Lord Snake seemed to remember something, and asked instead, "You just said that Detective Bryan killed the witch...... Is this Brian the detective who exposed the plot at the Daily Observer's headquarters before? The one that Mother Earth God Church values? ”
"Yes, Your Excellency." McConaughey nodded.
"Well, then, through the newspapers we control, let's get the word out about this detective again. It's our reward for the 'desolate'. ”
With that, Snake left the headquarters of the "Punisher" team and got into a carriage and headed for Queens...... He wants justice for his teammates.
……
Queens, Sodrrack Palace.
George III, wearing a crown with a resolute face and a mustache, sat on the throne, looked at Viscount Sterford in front of him, and said with a smile:
"Tell me, what's wrong?"
"Your Majesty, the Church of the Storm and the Church of the Night want you to give an account of the collusion of the nobles of the court with the witch." Viscount Stafford reported hard.
"Confess? Hmph, Count Lorena and his son colluded with the Pain Witch, and finally were killed by the witch, this is the explanation! George III snorted.
"In addition, I remember that both the Church of the Night and the Church of the Storm have been promoting the issue of 'public examination selection of officers' recently...... Tell them that in principle I agreed. Seeing Viscount Stafford look embarrassed, George III added.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Viscount Stafford breathed a sigh of relief and responded.
When the viscount stepped down, George III sat there unmoved. I don't know how long it took before he suddenly burst out laughing without warning.
……
In a strange city shrouded in night, there are gorgeous buildings with a mysterious atmosphere and a dark feeling.
At the very center of it is a church. The church is more than 80 meters tall and is supported by huge black pillars, each of which is inlaid with a certain number of skulls, some of them from humans and some from different creatures, but they all have their hollow eyes aimed downward, as if watching every living creature that enters the church.
The details of this church are exquisite, but they are composed of elements that tend to be nightmares, horrors, horrors, and mysteries.
In the depths of the church hall, stands a huge cross with a gray-white statue of a dragon entwined around the cross.
Unlike ordinary churches, there are no rows of prayer seats for worshippers, and there is no place for candlesticks, but in front of the statue of the dragon, a small long table with five seats on each side of the long table, the top and bottom empty.
At this time, an old-fashioned gentleman with a slightly wrinkled forehead and an abnormally pale face and a gentleman with round eyes were wrinkled. The man with the mouth wide open and the patterned mask walked in.
The old-fashioned gentleman looked around for a moment, and smiled to the other six people sitting on either side of the long table:
"This is Mr. 'Fury', and he has a deep knowledge of the psychic realm...... He will be a new member of the jury. ”
