Chapter XVI: The Blue Cardinal
When Pastor Cole exited the door, Moore began to write with his head bowed and did not speak for a while. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Bai Ye felt that the atmosphere was very oppressive, and he was not sure whether he should speak or not, so he could only stand aside with his hands tied.
It was only when all the ink in a tube of quill pens had been used up that Moore slowly looked up at the white night.
It's really bullshit.,I found a snake covered in ink and twisted it twice on the paper.,Maybe the ghost drawing is even higher than this one.。 Moore wondered what the hell was going on with this stupid boy, who was clubbing like a piece of wood underneath, was he beaten stupid by the devil or what, why didn't he get down on one knee and perform the ritual?
But since he is a person who has something to do with Wizard Patlem, it is not easy for him to have a seizure until he finds out where he came from.
So, Moore asked with a pleasant face, "Young man, I don't know what to call you yet." ”
"My name, my name is White Night. Bai Ye said respectfully.
"Interesting oriental name. Moore put down the quill pen and clasped his hands together, and Bai Ye noticed that his fingers were stained with ink, and on the index finger of his right hand was a ring of thorns encrusted with a huge blue diamond, the top of which was ground into a square plane, and on it was engraved with a raised intricate pattern, which must have symbolized the seal of the status of the cardinal.
"Literally, white means white and day, and night means night and black. ”
Bai Ye obviously didn't expect Moore to be interested in his name, and he couldn't help but hesitate: "My lord, I haven't thought about this issue in particular, but according to my father's explanation, it's called poetic. ”
"Poetic," Moore said, posing pensively and chewing on the word "poetic," "I think for Orientals, poetry is everywhere, and it's an enviable way of life." And here, poetry is a luxury. The Raven Castle we are in is getting filthy and chaotic, with the dwarves building their factories upstream of the river, and the Pack Turtle River outside the city polluted into a stinking ditch. And the city is full of unstoppable robbers and mercenaries who bring pits and infectious diseases, and even without them, we have been plagued by the black plague all these years. Even if I want to find poetry now, I can step on shit as soon as I go out, so where can I still be in the mood. ”
"What your lord said is that our old days were really ...... Live in great misery. Bai Ye nodded in agreement: "Fortunately, my lord deigned to come here to take up his post, I think our lives will definitely improve greatly soon." ”
The cardinal drew a "∞" pattern on his chest with his fingers, which symbolized the supreme divine might of the god-king Goriard.
"I'll do my best, boy. But if we want to clean up the ugliness as soon as possible, we need all of us to work together. For example, the demon that almost killed you this time is a mortal threat to all of our good people, and it must be put to death as soon as possible, and we urgently need your help now. Will you fight for the glory of God's light, boy?"
Bai Yecheng bowed in fear and said: "My lord, please just give orders, if there is anything I can do, I will definitely go to the soup and take the lead!"
"It's not that serious," Moore smiled and waved his hand, "Fighting for the glory of the divine light is a slogan and determination that cannot be taken literally. After all, it is the noble responsibility of our knights of thorns who have been blessed by the divine light to exterminate demons, and it is their duty to protect you, the people. However, despite our intention to kill the enemy, we are now in a big trouble, the demon is hiding, and we will not be able to find its nest for the time being. So I'm thinking, White Night, maybe you can give us a little bit of an idea. ”
"What do you mean?"
"We examined the bodies of the two guards who were killed by the demon, only to find that on one of the victims, there were several stab wounds, which is not like the style of a demon. It is said that you were hunted by demons at the time, I wonder if you know anything about this?"
"How can there be such a thing?" Hearing this question, Bai Ye's heart suddenly beat faster, could it be that he had already discovered that he was an accomplice of the Heavenly Evil? Although he was a little apprehensive, Bai Ye's expression was silent, he pretended to be surprised: "When I met that demon, both guards had been murdered, and no one else was present, and then I was chased and killed by it, I'm really sorry for what you mentioned, I may not be able to say any useful information." ”
Bai Ye was still confident in his acting skills, the blue cardinal stared at him, and there seemed to be no suspicion, he said regretfully: "That's a pity, this is a very important clue, think about it, a demon swaggered into the Grey Raven Castle, no one found out, and it can still kill at night, it sounds like it has a helper." If that's the case, as long as you catch this helper and follow the vine, you can find the demon. ”
"What my lord said is very true, but I heard Master Patrium say that this demon is actually the son of a demon, and said that he would help him remove the blood of the demon, I wonder if this information is useful?"
"Ah, son of the devil," the bluecoat sighed, "it's very likely, it's blasphemous......"
"I wonder what is the difference between this son of the devil and the devil?
"Of course, like a mammoth child, we will only call him a mammoth, not a mammoth child. The offspring of the mating of two purebred demons is still a demon. Only those deformed hybrids born to demons and other races are called children of demons. Generally speaking, because the demonic bloodline inherited by the Demon Sons is not pure, the power is not as strong as that of the real Demon. However, they often mutate into new abilities, such as invisibility, mind-reading, or shapeshifting, which can be tricky to deal with. “
"According to you, is it possible that this demon son usually hides in the city with invisibility, so it has not been discovered, and it will not be hunted down after escaping this time. “
"It's very likely, or it could transform into a human, disguised as around us without being detected. “
Bai Ye suddenly realized: "This can explain why there are knife wounds on the corpses of the guards." Although the demon does not know how to use a knife, after disguised as a human, it may wear a knife and stab him while the guards are not paying attention, and then reveal its true form to deal him a fatal blow. ”
"God-King bless, that makes sense. Although Master Patalum is not here, it is fortunate that you are an eyewitness and it is really helpful to our work. I would also like to ask you to draw a picture of this demon for us to investigate. “
"This, my level of painting is comparative...... It's limited, and it's hard to draw. ”
"Hmph," a disdainful voice came out of Moore's nose, "for those demons, can anyone paint them beautifully." ”
