Tingen.

Crane was holding the manuscript that recorded the ritual of "human refining" and was silent, when he saw the short and sturdy Kornley rushing up the stairs.

The "sleepless man" looked at the situation in old Neil's house, and could not say a word from his mouth.

Dunn. Smith looked at Kornley and asked in a daze:

"What's wrong?"

Dunn. Captain Smith knew that Kornley was on duty at the church today, and that there would not have been an emergency here.

Kornley seemed to be awakened, and said in a somewhat difficult tone:

"One of the members of the Heart of the Machine has come to us for help, and they have been attacked by a high-order 'witch'."

Dunn. Smith was awakened by the sudden news, and without hesitation, he turned to Crane, who was also shocked by the news, and said:

"Crane, you're here to continue searching for clues and securing the scene."

"Kornley, you go and inform Leonard, who is monitoring the asylum today."

"Luo Yao, come back to the church with me."

As the leader of the Tingen Night Watch Squad, he has the right to use St. Selena's ashes at the most critical moment, and a high-order enemy appears in front of him, and the Tingen Night Watch can use this holy relic to fight against him later, and now it has reached the most critical juncture.

The destructive power of a high-sequence powerhouse in the city is unimaginable.

The reason why Kryn was chosen to stay here is because it may involve clues related to the ritual magic performed by Old Neil, and Krien is more specialized in ritual magic.

In addition, when it comes to dealing with high-level enemies, Kornli and Luo Yao of this path may be able to provide more help when the relics of St. Selena's ashes are about to be activated.

As an experienced night watchman, he had an arrangement in his head in an instant.

Crane also understands this truth: "Captain ......"

Dunn. Smith interrupted him: "Clean up the mess here as soon as possible, so as not to affect the ordinary people around you, the situation is urgent, let's leave immediately." ”

Crane has the "Yang Flame Charm" that he just made yesterday as a hole card in his hand, and he is no longer the "soothsayer" in the eyes of the captain who is not good at frontal combat and can only be used as a support, but he has no reasonable reason to take it out, so he can only watch his teammates leave.

The powerhouse of the high sequence......

I learned the strength of Ziringus from Mr. Power and Mr. Hanged Man at the Tarot Society, and I knew that Ziringus, who had such a terrifying seal, was only equivalent to the strength of Sequence 5.

Crane didn't have a clear idea of how powerful a high-level powerhouse was, but he knew that his teammates were about to face extreme danger.

Crane, who had just lost Old Neil, gritted his teeth, touched the charm on his chest, and after quickly searching Old Neil's room, he hurried towards the location that Kornley had just mentioned.

When Crane arrived in the alley, he saw only a messy battlefield, the ground and the walls on both sides were densely covered with traces of explosions and burns, and he saw no enemies, only the captain who looked a little dazed.

"Captain, what's the situation?" Crane asked, looking at the scene in front of him, imagining the fierce battle that took place here.

Dunn. Smith's whispering voice rang out:

"The Substitute and the members of the Mechanical Heart have arrived, the two members of the Mechanical Heart have been seriously injured and have been rushed back to Beckland for treatment, the enemy has retreated, and the Church of the Storm is contacting their altar to investigate the identity of the attackers."

"We're late again." Listening to the captain's dream-like tone, Crane had some bad premonitions.

At this time, Luo Yao and Leonard came out from the other side of the alley and looked at Dunn. Captain Smith opened his mouth to report:

"There are 23 residents in the vicinity, all suffering from various degrees of illness, and all of them have been taken back to the church by Kornli for treatment, and several of them are more seriously ill and I am afraid ......"

Friday, August 31, Bakeland, Cathedral of the Holy Winds.

Roman opened his eyes from the coma and instantly felt a sharp headache.

After a few moments, the pain subsided, and Roman looked around at the furnishings and found himself lying in a break room with a wooden bookshelf next to it, filled with the Storm Book and other Storm Church holy texts.

Roman got up with difficulty, pushed the door open, and walked out, only to see his old acquaintance, the member of the substitute punisher with beautiful blonde hair and a handsome face, Robert.

"Are you awake?" Robert saw Roman walk out, and hurriedly came to his side and looked at Roman:

"You've been in a coma for two days."

"This is the Cathedral of the Holy Winds? How did I end up here? Roman asked in a somewhat hoarse voice.

"It was the members of the Heart of the Machine who sent you back from Tingen, and one of their members was seriously injured and brought back with them."

Robert says:

"Your Majesty the Archbishop has already used a holy relic to help you heal your physical injuries, and your main problem now is the spiritual damage caused by the previous dry spirit, and the mental damage caused by the excessive use of seals with powerful negative effects, which will require a period of rest to recover."

Roman was silent for a moment, and asked in a dry voice:

"How's that member of the Heart of the Machine now? What is going on in Tingen? ”

Robert took Roman back to the lounge, sat him down, and then said:

"That member of the Heart of Machinery, like you, was seriously injured, mostly mentally, and she used a mechanical golem with a very strong negative effect close to the 'Level 1' seal."

"Fortunately, the puppet was destroyed by the enemy, so that she was protected from the negative effects of the follow-up, otherwise she might have lost her life directly."

"Now she is still recuperating from her injuries at the 'St. Hillland Church', and she should not have woken up yet."

"As for Tingen...... The enemy never reappeared, but your battle resulted in the death of 12 inhabitants of 5 households in Tingen, all of them from various diseases. ”

"Sickness ......," Roman muttered to himself.

12 people......

Seeing that Roman did not speak, Robert told him to continue to rest and left the lounge.

Leave Roman alone in this room.

……

They all died because of themselves.

If she hadn't had herself, Anne would have come to Tingen to investigate for a few days, and under the arrangement of that seal, she found a clue somewhere and left Tingen, right?

I won't meet that witch and be attacked because of "convergence".

Anne wouldn't be seriously injured by this, and the inhabitants wouldn't have lost their lives for no reason.

Is that the horror of that seal?

As soon as he revealed his intention to counter its arrangement, he was clearly arranged.

Although he said that he was afraid of the level 0 seal, he didn't really see its power until this moment.

Relying on his ability to defend himself at the level of Sequence 5, and not being afraid of the archbishop who failed to be promoted, he went directly to Tingen.

As a result, he was directly assigned to a demigod as an enemy.

If it weren't for Anne's mechanical puppet, if it weren't for the overly cautious personality of the "White Saintess", I'm afraid I would really lose my life.

The cause is simply the desire to fight it.

Remember the original book, "Sherlock. Moriarty: "The great detective only found some clues, and he was about to be wiped out by a meteorite from the sky.

Roman has a new understanding of the horror of the seal.

Suddenly, Roman searched the house as if he had thought of something.

On the shelf next to the wardrobe, I saw my own "Black Snake" and "Guardian Shield".

At that time, Ms. Tamara controlled the "Spirit Piercing" and exerted a power close to the demigod level, which had an impact on the "Ageless Witch".

However, the price is that the spirit state of Lady Tamara has been consumed, and she will no longer be able to play any role in a short period of time.

And the "Guardian Shield" was directly broken.

Looking at the cracks that appeared on the surface of the originally smooth silver round shield, Roman endured his headache, released his unrecovered spirituality, and sensed the "Guardian Shield".

Roman could feel the state of the shield, and it would slowly recover with a long period of spiritual infusion and self-healing.

Or you can find a "craftsman" and repair it, and in terms of ability, it can be restored.

However, Roman's figure is somewhat stiff.

The mood in the shield that was originally noisy to bask in the sun after being awakened is now a little more sluggish, just like the self-will in the shield has also been hit hard.

It made Roman, who was already familiar with it, feel a little strange.

There are some emotions that Roman didn't feel before, like, "tired".

It's as if it's aging because of petrification.

Roman sat quietly on the bed, placing the "guardian shield" on his lap and quietly perceiving.

Tingen.

Inside the Nightwatcher's Laboratory.

In the "Sword of the Goddess" Crestai. Under the watchful eye of Lord Sesima, Crane successfully ingested the "Joker" potion and was promoted to a Sequence 8 Extraordinary.

And from the mouth of the "Sword of the Goddess" Sesima, I learned about the church's description of the "acting method", thinking of the dead old Neil, I couldn't help but feel a little more angry and puzzled about the church's non-disclosure of the "acting method".

Cryan, who had initially adapted to the "Joker" potion, returned to the captain's office and only saw Captain Dunn. Smith, I didn't see the Lord of the "Sword of the Goddess".

"Her Excellency Cesima is gone?"

"Yes, as a high deacon, he has other things to do, he will stay in Tingen for a few days, and together with the deacons of the substitute punisher, the mechanical heart, to investigate the matter of the 'witch'."

Speaking, Dunn. Smith couldn't help but sigh: "It's a coincidence that His Excellency Sesima arrived in Tingen on a steam train on Wednesday afternoon, and if he had come half a day earlier, maybe those tragedies would not have happened." ”

The high-order witch attack, and the old Neal getting out of control, both happened on Wednesday morning.

"yes, that's not a coincidence......," Crane said, as if thinking of something, and fell silent.
