Magician 63 Buried

After so many days of getting along, Ms. Catherine, who is a "hypnotist" and can interpret the content from her movements and demeanor, has already had a rough but accurate impression of Brian.

That is kindness, humility, courtesy, and caring about the feelings of others.

These are very good qualities, but in the strange and transcendent world, they are redundant.

Or even cumbersome.

The simplest example is whether she can break the fruit and finish off the enemy, which has always been a concern for her, fearing that Brian will be too hesitant to encounter danger alone and lose his life.

After all, judging from the details of ordinary life, Brian is not at all like a person who can do anything in the face of fresh life.

Considering this situation, combined with Brian's response when the performance troupe encounters an emergency, it seems very abnormal.

There are many reasons for this and it is complex, so Ms. Catherine felt that the sooner the matter was dealt with, the better, lest the problem worsen and become difficult to solve.

"This ......" Brian heard the inquiry, thought for a moment, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"There's no way around it, I know if I don't shoot him, he's going to kill me, and then Miss Lulu......

"I'm not going to let this happen to me, at least I have to do something......"

"So you killed him?" Lady Catherine's expression was flat, and her posture was as languid as ever.

"Hmm......" Brian nodded affirmatively.

Ms. Catherine casually looked at the mechanical parrot hanging by the wall and saw that it did not react at all, indicating that Brian was not lying.

In fact, the "hypnotist" has the ability to distinguish lies through her limbs, but to be on the safe side, she still brought Brian to the hall of the performance troupe and brought it to the "insight parrot" ability.

Because when it comes to discerning lies, the "insight parrot" is stronger than the ordinary "hypnotist".

After making sure that Brian was not affected in any particular way, she took a closer look at the other party's condition.

It was found that in terms of mental condition, Brian had some problems, some small problems.

"What are you worried about?" Ms. Catherine asked.

"I ...... I'm thinking about Miss Demi......" Brian looked up, looked apprehensively at the lady in front of him and asked, "I wonder if I killed her?"

"No, it wasn't you who killed Demi, it was the guy named Christine." Lady Catherine's tone was soft, as if there was some kind of magic that made people feel unjustifiably convinced.

"Not only that, but you also avenged Demi."

"But then I saw Miss Demi stand up and read my name!" Brian replied in a tangled manner as he recalled.

"That's fake! You've done a great job! Lady Catherine suddenly put her hands on Brian's shoulders and spoke a little louder.

"Remember that straw man? It was it that controlled the dead Demi, you can clearly understand, why is it still holding on to itself? ”

After a pause, she withdrew her hands again and said softly, "Relax, give yourself some chances, okay?"

"We have more important things to do, and we shouldn't dwell on the sadness of the past."

Brian closed his eyes and nodded again, but this time it was much heavier.

……

Placing the envelope with the recent events in the mailbox, Ms. Catherine and Brian returned to the backyard to wait for Arnold to return.

As for the rest, they were going to bury Demi before they thought about it.

About two hours later, Arnold returned with a group of people.

He stopped at the door of the troupe and told everyone to wait first, while he himself entered the backyard with a middle-aged priest in a turquoise robe to join the people who had been waiting for a long time.

Elf Lulu leads the way and opens the room where Demi is placed.

At this time, Demi Sully was lying quietly on a white bed, covered with sheets of the same color, blocking her entire body.

The priest stepped forward in a pair of eyes and slowly lifted the corners of the sheet, revealing Demi's head.

Then the teacher folded his hands and recited the prayer.

"Dear Lord!

I am here today to pray for the deceased, that the Lord will grant them eternal life;

Pray for the deceased and ask the Lord to embrace him;

……”

Everyone in the room bowed their heads and listened in silence to the only voice.

As time passed, the priest's voice grew smaller and quieter, until it disappeared completely.

He turned back and said to the crowd in a kind tone, "When the prayer is finished, the goddess will accept her."

Arnold raised his head in the crowd and walked over to the priest: "Trouble, please follow me."

Arnold led the priest out of the room, and took a £10 note from the pocket of his trench coat and placed it in his palm.

"Thank you, and there will be nothing more after that. If you have time, you can wait for us to finish and there will be a feast. ”

The priest smiled and accepted the money, then shook his head and whispered, "No, there are still many people who need me, so I'll leave first."

With that, the priest stepped out of the troupe.

Arnold forcibly controlled his facial expression, followed him out of the street, and beckoned to the group waiting there.

They are the collectors who collect the remains, and they are also responsible for burials.

Seven or eight people carried the coffin into the performance troupe, put the cleaned Demi into the coffin, followed by some things that Demi liked when she was alive, and then walked all the way to the cemetery.

The people of the performance troupe followed in silence until the coffin was put into the ground, and each of them held a bouquet of white chrysanthemums that had been prepared and placed in front of the tombstone.

Brian stared deeply, and the words "best colleague" were engraved on the tombstone, set by Lady Catherine......

Since Demi's parents have long since left, it is natural to cut down on a lot of procedures, such as condolences and the like.

After finishing everything about the funeral, it was already the afternoon.

Everyone returned to the troupe, and immediately sat down around a table to discuss the matter of human leather gloves.

There is no way, they have a heavy task, there are still a whole lot of problems to solve, there is no time to rest at all.

Brian adjusted his mood and repeated his newly mastered "paper man stand-in" ability with the human skin glove, and finally took out a delicate four-leaf clover earring and put it on the table.

These are earrings given to him by Yalvis Himaria, and it is said that wearing them can increase a person's luck.

"Lady Catherine, this is the magical item dropped by Oliel Swift, the Destiny Professional."

In the previous story, Brian had already said this, so he didn't explain too much, just briefly mentioned it.

Catherine thought for a moment and shook her head slightly: "This transcendent item has almost no side effects, and its abilities are extremely safe, so you can keep it yourself."

"What's more, I conveyed your performance this time to the above through letters, and I will take credit for you, how to exchange it for more practical things, I believe the above will give you an answer after a while."

"Thank you." Brian withdrew his earrings, sat upright and nodded, and after a moment of hesitation, asked, "Lady Catherine, can you tell me how it might be?"

"Yes." Catherine said slowly, based on years of experience, "It is usually rewarded with money, or some otherworldly item with few side effects."

"If the merit is large enough, it may also be the material and ritual content of the promotion of the 'professional'."

"But that's too far away for you to think about."

"Got it." Brian agreed, and couldn't help but start looking forward to it.

Explaining Brian's business, Lady Catherine looked around the crowd and talked about something else.

"So let's talk about the problem we're trying to solve!"

When everyone heard this, their expressions immediately became serious.

"There are two points, which are to recover the lost demigod-level seal, and the human skin gloves combined with the Brian paper man."

"The latter is relatively easy to deal with, and everyone has a certain understanding, so let's put it aside and talk about it later."

"The most important thing at the moment is to investigate the whereabouts of the demigod seal and recover it before it causes a large-scale disaster!"

As she spoke, Lady Catherine took out an old document prepared in advance from the lining of the white hexagram, written in Guvik.

"Now let me tell you about this seal."

The crowd was silent and continued to listen quietly.

"Name: Wizard Doll

Hazard Class: Extremely Hazardous.

Destruction Level: B. Has the ability to plunge a large city into chaos.

Appearance: The overall appearance is pure black, 16 cm high, 4 cm wide, with the appearance of an adult.

Features: Demigod level. Has the full "Puppeteer" trait. Active and highly self-aware. It is difficult to completely eliminate.

Ability Summary: Master a variety of witchcraft, curses, and control creatures, and the ability to act as a puppet. ”

Catherine paused and continued, "That's all the information we have, about the specific abilities of the 'Wizard Doll', I'll write them all down later, and I'll let you see them."

Seeing that Lady Catherine had said something about the same, Arnold opened her mouth and asked a crucial question.

"That'...... Captain, how are we going to find that 'wizard doll'? ”

Catherine sighed lightly: "There is no special way for the time being, only to secretly send someone to conduct a carpet search and wait for a decision from above."

"Not only this matter, but also the matter of human skin gloves, I said this in advance so that you can have a precaution."

At this point, her gaze kept shifting between Brian and Arnold.

The two nodded their heads in understanding.

After all, of the five people present, they spent the longest time outside.

"So let's do it first." Having said that, Lady Catherine covered her mouth and yawned, and prepared to get up and rest for a while.

But at this time, a male voice came from outside the door that made her feel a little familiar.

"Is anyone there?"

Hearing this voice, everyone was stunned, not knowing who was coming and what was going on.

But in the next moment, Brian hurriedly stood up and drove the chair to make a screeching grinding sound.

"Why is my brother here!" He spoke in a small but clear voice, and everyone could hear him clearly.

For a moment everyone looked at each other, and finally Lady Catherine spoke: "I'll go out with you to have a look."

As she spoke, she was already walking in front of her, while Brian slowly followed behind, a little apprehensive in her heart.

Thinking about the last time he saw his brother, it seemed to be two nights ago, and that kind of thing happened at that time, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but slow down a lot.
