Chapter 353: The Battlefield and Home
Louise put down the book in her hand, looked at Miss Sharon in front of her with a smile, and said calmly:
"The hunt has begun?"
Sharon's expression was calm, and she bowed slightly:
"Just today."
It was already approaching evening, and the clouds were gradually becoming overcast, as if to symbolize the arrival of a heavy rain, and the sun was slowly setting in the western mountains.
Louise pondered for a moment, looked away from the window, got up and said:
"Then let's go."
Louise did not alarm anyone, and quietly left 59 Agham Street with Miss Sharon.
She had already asked the maid before, but she did not specify the specific content of this operation, after all, it was a hunt for a real demigod, and there was no room for mistakes.

…………
Louise and Sharon were silent, focused on hurrying.
Both men were experienced and extraordinary, and they were not slow to move, and soon left the bustling part of Beckland, unhindered along the way, until they came to a dilapidated and abandoned manor in the suburbs.
"Is this the preset battlefield?" Louise looked around briefly and asked with a little solemnity.
Miss Sharon regained her former coldness, nodded her head, and said:
"Yes."
Then, she slowly floated in.
Louise followed, and when she walked into the manor, she didn't notice anything special, let alone traps or anything like that.
Sharon seemed to see Louise's confusion and explained softly:
"The 'puppet' perception and use of the environment is very powerful, and it cannot startle the snake."
Louise bowed slightly, indicating understanding, she had already memorized the abilities and characteristics of the "puppet", and had even simulated the process of fighting it many times in her mind, although she was not confident, but she was more than capable of protecting herself.
Walking through the broken wooden door and into the abandoned mansion covered in cobwebs, Louise meets Marić and Sharon's teacher, Renette Tinnicole, who carries four heads.
"You've been promoted to 'Resentful Spirit'!" Louise looked at Marić, who was floating in mid-air in a translucent state, and said in surprise.
Marić nodded lightly and replied briefly:
"In the previous battle, I successfully obtained a Sequence 5 extraordinary trait."
Obviously, we are both Sequence Six, and you were promoted ahead of schedule...... Louise was silent for a moment, then spoke, "It's good that you're better than me now." ”
Marić's eyes froze, and if it weren't for his amazing self-control, he almost gasped.
He still clearly remembers that not long ago, when hunting the unlucky "Apostle of Desire", Louise showed endless powerful methods, leaving an indelible impression on himself when he was still a "living corpse" at the time...... But now that she is saying such things, Marić says that he finds it difficult to accept, and for a moment he cannot tell whether this is a compliment or a sarcasm.
Simply, he chose to remain silent.
Floating around, Renette Tinicol was not as "majestic" as she had been in the spirit world, and although she was still so large that she almost broke through the roof, she at least did not look like a castle.
Alice...... Rely on me...... ...... to you Say hello. The four heads spoke one after another, facing Louise.
Uh, isn't Alice speechless, how do you communicate...... This was the first question that came to Louise's mind, and she quickly put it behind her, smiled, and responded politely:
"Thank you for informing me, and please greet her for me."
"I ...... Yes...... Target. Renette Tinicole spoke, and then disappeared into thin air in the blink of an eye, as if she had only stayed here to help Alice convey her greetings.
Louise blinked, a little helpless, she looked around and asked aloud:
"Why didn't you see Bernadette?"
Miss Sharon was about to speak, when she saw two pea vines falling vertically from the void, and when she looked up, Bernadette was sitting on a swing made of tree vines, and her expression was leisurely dangling, and she said with a light smile:
"What, are you afraid that I will not show up?"
Saying that, how come there is no tension at all before the big war...... Louise smacked her lips silently and said with a little weirdness:
"Don't dare, don't dare, you have a noble status, so naturally you will do what you say."
Bernadette smiled, looked at Louise condescendingly, and looked like she had seen through the latter's careful thoughts, and said:
"Even if you compliment me, I won't participate in the battle, and I will put in as much effort as I get, understand?"
The implicit meaning of this sentence is: "If you want me to make a move, you have to give more." ”
Louise naturally knew this, and bowed down and said:
"Yes, yes."
When she looked up again, she saw that Bernadette had disappeared into thin air, exactly like Renette Tinicol.
Why do these demigods like to "turn their heads"? But it does seem mysterious...... Louise struggled to relax, turned her gaze to Sharon and Marić, and asked:
"What's next?"
Previously, Marić had been the spokesman, but now that he had been promoted to "The Spirit", it was Miss Sharon's turn to speak...... Of course, it could also be the reason for facing herself, Louise thought silently, while listening carefully to Sharon's story.
…………
At 59 Eglam Street, Louise's departure did not make any waves, and the atmosphere remained calm as usual.
As dinner approached, Sophia knocked on the door of the study, but received no response.
She was a little surprised, knocked again, and finally pushed the door open and walked into the study, not surprisingly finding that it was empty.
"Miss went out today?" She remembered what Louise had told her two days before, so she didn't panic, just muttered to herself.
At this time, a familiar voice suddenly came to my ears:
"Sophia, so you're here!"
Looking back, she found that it was Catelyn who had returned from going out, followed by Miss Rebecca with a calm face, Sophia silently closed the door of the study, and asked aloud:
"What's the matter, something is looking for me?"
Katrin smiled lightly and replied:
"The balding blonde man is here again, and I happened to run into it when I came back, so I'm here to let you know."
Sophia let out an "oh" to indicate that she understood.
Louise had told her that if Duke Negan's secretary came to invite her while she was away, she would try to excuse herself, and she would be back soon...... Sophia would never contradict or refuse Louise's requests, and this time was certainly no exception.
However, just as she was about to walk towards the meeting room, a different voice suddenly appeared in Sophia's head.
