Chapter 58: The Arrival of the High Priest of Sloth
"Extend to the third floor?"
"What's on the third floor?"
Hodge was a little curious, followed the direction of the red line, and then looked over.
Marquis Bach watched Hodge's scarlet vertical eyes turn on his forehead, his brows furrowed slightly, and when he raised his hand, mysterious symbols surged out, covering Hodge's prying eyes.
As the mysterious symbol covered, Hodge only felt that the blurred, scarlet perspective disappeared, and the extra eye on his forehead closed strangely, and the flesh and blood squirmed, completely disappearing.
There is only one special symbol, which flashes with a green glow.
"Hodge, don't snoop on things that aren't of your level." Marquis Bach reminded softly.
Hearing this, Hodge nodded and said, "Yes, father." ”
"I used the sealing technique to temporarily seal this seal, and when it is not opened, you also have to seal it, and in normal times, try to take it out, and don't put it in the flesh and blood for a long time, which will cause irreversible damage to your body."
"But today's situation is special, so let's put it in my forehead first."
"When you tempt the sloth High Priest, do not open the Hidden Eye, and when the temptation is successful, you can escape the attention of the Sloth High Priest through the Secret Eye's anti-snooping, anti-divination, and anti-prophecy."
"When it's over, I'll help you get the Hidden Eye out." Marquis Bach said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Hodge nodded and said, "Okay, I see." ”
"It's a spell and a gesture to break the seal, you write it down." Marquis Bach took out a note, raised his hand, and lines of ancient Raymond words appeared, as well as gestures.
Hodge looked at the contents, paid full attention, and took note of them.
After a moment, Hodge nodded and said, "I wrote it down." ”
"Hmm." The Marquis of Bach snapped his fingers and burned the note out of thin air.
"Be careful."
Hodge smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm confident." ”
"Hmm." Marquis Bach nodded, and said: "After the party, I may have to go to the magic room on the third floor, if I don't come out, everything will be arranged by you, I will assist you, pay attention to safety, if you can't do anything, evacuate first, as long as people are okay, there is a chance." ”
"I understand." Hodge listened to Marquis Bach's explanation and nodded seriously.
……
Time passed, and the dinner was held as scheduled.
Hodge, as the sole heir to the Marquis of Bach, was naturally also dressed up.
On the recommendation of his parents, Hodge met Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the imperial royal family again, Léa Salom.
Blonde hair and blue eyes, tall figure, outstanding temperament, wearing a long red dress, full of hot and noble, above the head, wearing a small pale gold crown, delicate face, three-dimensional facial features.
Just standing in the middle of the crowd, there is a feeling of standing out from the crowd, which is extremely outstanding.
Hodge looked at Her Royal Highness the princess, his brows furrowed slightly, and for some reason his spiritual consciousness told him that the woman in front of him seemed to be a little strange, obviously standing not far away, but there was a sense of etherealism.
This feeling is not the kind of induction that originates from the extraordinary, nor is it the attraction of the extraordinary in the same way, but simply feels that there seems to be something wrong with this woman.
It's a strange feeling!
Hodge himself is a little indescribable.
The last time he had this special feeling was when he met O'Neill, just when they first met, and Hodge felt that O'Neill had a problem.
This is also the sensing of spiritual perception.
At the beginning, Hodge, who was not yet an extraordinary person, sensed O'Neill's problem.
Now, Hodge's own spirituality has greatly improved, and his perception ability is even better.
For Her Royal Highness Princess Léa's feelings, it is obvious.
Hodge suppressed the surprise and surprise in his heart, and raised his vigilance against the princess.
"I'm sorry, I'm late." Princess Léa lifted the hem of her skirt slightly, smiling and confessing.
Lady Bailey smiled and said, "Then you can wait for a few more drinks to give us a good explanation." ”
"Of course." Princess Leia replied with a smile.
"Your Highness Princess, this is my son, Hodge Dickens." Mrs. Bailey introduced.
"I've seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." Hodge bowed slightly.
"Hello, Hodge." Princess Leia nodded slightly, showing great kindness, and said with a smile: "Count the days, you are almost an adult, right?" ”
"Yes, Your Highness Princess, there are still three months." Hodge replied.
"Okay, when it's time for your coming-of-age ceremony, I'll give you a suitable gift." Princess Leia said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Hodge didn't refuse.
After a brief exchange, Princess Léa, led by Lady Belle, began to walk over the party.
As a princess of the empire, Princess Leia has a noble status, and she is the person with the highest status in this party, so she will naturally be toasted by many people.
And Madame Belle and Marquis Bach, as hosts, are naturally indispensable for entertainment.
Although Hodge is also one of the hosts, he is underage after all, and he can temporarily escape for these entertainments.
Hodge silently walked out of the reception hall and into the garden, looking at the quiet garden, looking at the flowers and plants blown by the breeze, and his expression gradually calmed down.
The scene that had just been lively, tonight, was just an embellishment.
The party is just the beginning, and the end of the party and the departure of the guests are the real drama of the night.
Hodge walked to the pavilion in the center of the garden and whispered, "Will." ”
As Hodge's words fell, a shadow sprang out of the ground, erect strangely twisted, and gradually faded into a human form, which was Will Cortez, wearing a black robe and a bird's beak mask.
"Young Master." Will was still in that appearance, his voice was a little hoarse, and his attitude was indifferent.
"Go and inform them, you can go to the corresponding place to prepare." Hodge commanded.
Hearing this, Will bowed his head lightly and said, "Yes." ”
With that, Will's figure gradually faded, turned into a black shadow, and disappeared into the dark night.
"It's going to begin, don't let me down......" Hodge whispered as he looked up at the bright red moon in the sky.
At the same time, outside the enchantment of the Azure Marquis's fiefdom, more than a dozen figures appeared strangely, they were wearing dark red clerical robes, bowing their heads and saying nothing, under the robes, there was no face, it was pitch black, as if they had no face.
The leader of the group, with green hair and brown eyes, long green hair and a shawl, held a dark red book, kept turning the pages, a twisted and strange smile appeared on his face, full of sickness, and murmured: "Lazy, too lazy, the Gospels tell me that today is a good time to kill, oh...... The Great Oracle has come again, let me see, let me see, how many souls should be dedicated today......"
The green-haired and brown-eyed man faintly saw lines of twisted and wriggling small words from the dark red book that kept turning the pages, and he immediately cracked the corners of his mouth: "Oh...... It turned out to be a sacrifice for all......"
