Chapter IV: List (II)

"My lord, there's new news. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "Wilkster said," the Willer City branch church received a report and caught a maid who used to work on the refuge farm, and this is her confession. ”

Cumberland took the confession and read it carefully, although the maid who worked outside the castle did not know the specific situation inside the castle, but her years of observation also provided a lot of information. The castle of the refuge farm is very mysterious, built on a hill, usually there are few people, and some strange demon monsters will appear, but once or twice a year, there will be a party, and the party will be attended by some strong people. It is said that Lord Dunbar has a granddaughter, and as for the name, they are not known as the servants of the farm.

"Very good, we now at least know that Dunbar still has descendants, a girl, and this person must not be let go. Cumberland took a few steps and asked, "Hughes, what is the condition of the castle of the Evacuation Farm now?"

"Report to your lordship, the defenders of Ponny City have been sent to investigate, and the castle is in an abandoned state, and it is empty. ”

"Let the people of the sect in Watter City go and search again, bring the magician, and find two assassins to go with them, there are demons in the castle, they are good at changing and hiding, ordinary people can't find it. Cumberland ordered, "Now, if we find people who frequented the castle or lived in it for a long time, it is possible to find Dunbar's granddaughter, all of whom should be close friends with Dunbar, and not a single one, including the servants." ”

When the Son of God had finished speaking, he went straight to the high priest's dwelling and knocked lightly on the door.

The door opened, and Freeman saw that it was Cumberland, smiled, and invited him into the room.

"Excuse me, Master Freeman, it's really necessary to solve the case, and it's affecting your rest so late. Cumberland took a cup of tea and said he was very sorry.

"There's no need to be polite, since it's late, it's better to get to the point as soon as possible. Freeman said.

"That's right, High Priest, the church has found a dark wizard outside the Giant City, it is an old woman, named Barbara, she is very likely to have a close relationship with Dunbar, but after being alert, the soul fled into the underworld, leaving only a body, if her soul remains in the underworld from now on, we have broken an important clue, so I came to ask you, what can be done?"

"Barbara, it's been a long time since we've heard that name, but we fought each other back then. Freeman recalled, "She was a genius of the Griffin family. ”

"You know her!" Cumberland was a little surprised.

"It was a long time ago, when we were all young, only up and down the fifth level, and the years flickered, decades passed, and it turned out that she had defected to the Fergus family. Freeman sighed.

"Before the riots of the Alliance of Freedom and Equality, Dunbar organized a lot of strong people, often came to his castle to conspire, most of these people became the leaders of the opposition church, they are still a potential threat, I have to find everyone, restrain or judge, and Barbara is obviously one of them, if I can subdue her, I have a list of leaders, it is too important. ”

"She went to the underworld, it is almost impossible to find her, although I can open a universal teleportation door and reach other planes, but the underworld is too big, let alone people who are not dark wizards, if they go there, their ability will be greatly weakened, that is, even if I really meet Barbara, I will not be able to subdue her. Freeman explained.

"Then there's nothing you can do?" Cumberland felt sorry, and finally had a clue, but there was nothing to do.

"There are two other ways, the first is to find a high-level dark wizard, a wizard who is more powerful than Barbara, to search for the underworld and bring her soul back, on this continent, I estimate that there is only one person who can surpass Barbara, that is Huggins, if you can contact Huggins and give him enough benefits, he will do things for you. But Huggins, who is elusive and a long-time enemy of the church, is unlikely to cooperate with you. The second way is a bit lucky, from now on, keep Barbara's body, if it happens that her soul comes back, use the soul confinement technique to control her, it's okay, but she can't come back, it's unpredictable. Freeman gave advice.

"Soul Confinement Technique, I'm afraid only you can perform it, right?"

Freeman stood up, went to her bedroom, and stayed in it for a while before coming out, holding a magic scroll in his hand, and handing it to Cumberland. "Soul magic, I, a light mage, can't master it, but fortunately, I keep a confinement scroll, and I'll give it to you, if you're lucky, you have a chance to catch Barbara. ”

"It's just a matter of trying your luck. ”

"Do your best in everything, the result is not up to you and me, maybe God decides, maybe even God can't decide. Freeman said.

"What do you mean by that, as a high priest, do you also doubt divine power?" Cumberland felt uneasy.

"No, because your opponent is a dark wizard, and they are not subject to divine power. ”

Cumberland didn't have time to deeply appreciate Freeman's words, he knew that every second had to race against time, and if Barbara's soul returned, he hadn't made it to Giants, and the opportunity would be lost.

"Who will be sent to take charge of the affairs of Subo Mountain?" asked the Son of God as he returned to the Inquisition.

"My lord, this matter is in charge of the city lord of Ponny City, Finn and his city defense army, since the remnants of the Free and Equal Alliance are going to attack Ponny City, it is better for us to strike preemptively and take them by surprise. The deputy chief replied.

"They can't do it alone, let the city lord of Watter City assist, I don't care how many enemies there are, I must capture their leader alive and bring it for interrogation. Cumberland commanded, "Tonight I will take Hughes and take the griffin to the Giants, and the round trip will be about three days, during which time you will be solely responsible for the Inquisition, and remember that if there is any important news, you must immediately notify me in time with the mirror crystal." ”

"Did you tell the Pope when you left?" said Wilkster.

"There's no time, you can report it for me tomorrow morning, it's a hundred thousand urgent, but fortunately Dunbar left a few griffons for us. Cumberland called Hughes and hurried away.

Wilkster watched the chief grown-up leave, and suddenly relaxed, the past two days have been too nervous, the whole person suddenly became very tired, and the green tendons in his head jumped suddenly, it seems that he should take a good rest, this Cumberland is really iron, don't you need to sleep?

"That's it for today, tidy up your things, and everyone goes back to sleep. Wilkster urged. (To be continued.) )
