Chapter Fifty-Six: You Will Die Too
It seems that the words "Dante" and "middle sequence" gave Count Campbell great confidence, and his whole person seemed much more relaxed.
I saw him gently knocking on the armrest of the seat, the weight of his body completely pressed on the back of the chair, and he sighed:
"Although I have not seen Monsieur Dante for more than ten years, we have continued to exchange letters, and I have always recognized him as my dear friend – we have been through a lot together.
Since you are his assistants, you are naturally also my friends, and if you need anything in the process of exterminating demons, just mention it. ”
"Also, this time I ask you to exorcise the demons, and what I originally proposed to Monsieur Dante in my letter was a reward of one hundred and fifty gold florins.
But now that I think about it, it's clear that this number isn't enough for the two of them to take such a big risk against a mid-sequence demon. I'm willing to double that number. ”
Li Ang smiled: "Thank you very much for your generosity. ”
Count Campbell shook his head and said, "Don't say such a thing, it's true, if you hadn't arrived in time, I would have considered escaping Syracuse with my family." ”
He rubbed his brow lightly and lamented, "I haven't closed my eyes for two days and two nights since that night. ”
"We'll get rid of this demon as soon as we can. ”
Leon had a polite and detached smile similar to Dante's.
Obviously, he couldn't find the slightest fault with the etiquette, but the implied pride of looking down still made Count Campbell frown.
But it soon stretched.
He couldn't help laughing heartily and said, "That's the tone, it's exactly the same as Mr. Dante, Mr. Octavius, are you his student?"
Li Ang shook his head: "Mr. Dante did teach me a lot, but unfortunately, he did not agree to be my teacher. ”
"That's a pity, he's the best witcher of all, and even His Majesty the Pope has praised him. ”
Earl Campbell sighed regretfully: "You two must have come here in need of a good dinner and a hot bath? ”
Thoreson Campbell believed in Greco-Roman polytheism, and naturally maintained the habit of bathing in the era of the people.
And the witcher obviously couldn't be a Catholic, so the invitation was polite and sincere.
Li Ang shook his head and said, "Not for the time being. Truth be told, we have been attacked by demons at a water-powered mill in a wheat field in the southwest corner of the city, and it is clear that it is aware of our arrival, so without further ado, I plan to search for the devil's traces at once. ”
"The water-powered mill in the southwest corner of the city?"
Earl Campbell frowned, "Mr. Octavius, are you sure it's a water-powered mill?"
"Of course. ”
He clearly remembered that in the middle of the field, he happened to pass a small river.
Count Campbell wondered, "But in Syracuse, only a water-powered mill has been built on the fields of the church north of the city. ”
Leon's expression changed slightly, but he quickly calmed down again.
He understated the point, saying, "I may have mistaken it, but it was a half-abandoned mill." ”
Earl Campbell frowned, but didn't ask any more questions, but said, "Another person was killed on the outskirts of the city today, and there are also guards who have reported that the bodies of many black dead people on the street have mysteriously disappeared without being disposed of recently, do you need me to send someone to take you to the exploration site?"
Leon shook his head again: "No need for the time being, I hope to search your Excellency's mansion first, after all, the demonic aura here is the strongest place I have traveled all the way." ”
When Earl Campbell heard this, he said, "Of course, it would be terrible if that demon had been lurking around us all along. ”
"Daddy, are there any guests?"
The soft and glutinous voice suddenly sounded.
Leon looked up and saw a little girl carved in pink who was holding on to the railing on the second floor, looking down.
"Teresa, go back quickly. ”
Campbell reprimanded with a straight face, and when he saw Teresa running away aggrievedly, he couldn't help but sigh: "This is my daughter Teresa, my treasure, and that demon once said that sooner or later he would take revenge on her...... I'm really worried, and I hope you can get rid of that abominable monster as soon as possible. ”
"She's lovely and we'll do our best. ”
Leon smiled and nodded, but his expression gradually became solemn.
After Teresa's appearance, the demon's aura became even stronger, either the demon had cursed her, or the demon had been in contact with her for a long time.
Seeing Leon's expression, Earl Campbell couldn't help but ask, "Is there any problem?"
"Nope. ”
Leon looked at Count Campbell's kind face, and couldn't help but pass through that astonishing speculation again.
He tries not to show anything unusual on his face, constantly hinting that he needs to be flexible with Dante's expression management.
Lagaia, on the other hand, seemed to be completely invisible, not saying a word.
In fact, even Leon didn't know that Lagaia had silently prepared a powerful medium-sequence single lethal sorcery.
As long as she speaks, she can complete the instantaneous.
As a middle sequence, the moment she stepped into this mansion, she felt a sense of crisis on her back.
Li Ang stood up and began to carefully inspect the hall on the first floor, until he had searched all the halls on the first floor, and then said, "I want to go upstairs to have a look, and please lead the way for me." ”
"No problem. ”
Count Campbell got up and led the two of them upstairs.
The wooden staircase was creabling, and the candlestick at the corner of the second floor was glowing dimly.
Leon walked back and forth in the hallway, and then stopped outside the door of the room where the demonic aura was strongest.
Knowingly, he asked, "Whose room is this?" ”
Count Campbell hesitated, "This is Teresa's room." ”
He couldn't help but ask, "Is there any problem?"
Li Ang shook his head: "Your Excellency, don't worry, I'm just choosing a random one." ”
Tuk Tuk –
There was a knock on the door.
The little girl I had just seen opened the door, revealing a small head, and said timidly, "Who are you?"
Leon's body tensed, and he coldly spat out a short but powerful single sentence: "Demon Hunter." ”
Her face was beaming: "I knew you were coming." ”
Count Campbell wondered, "How do you know I've brought in a witcher?"
Teresa smiled and said, "Because I also brought in a witch this morning, and a witch!"
He never said Lagaia was a witch!
Li Ang was alarmed, looked at Count Campbell, frowned, and said, "What's going on, could it be that His Excellency the Earl has invited other witchers?"
He subtly placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, and his heart was like a high-powered water pump, pouring blood containing demonic power into his body.
Count Campbell said helplessly: "Don't worry, Teresa should just be talking about her puppet toys, you can go in and see." ”
Hearing the word "puppet", Li Ang almost drew his sword.
But he immediately suppressed this urge, if Teresa was a puppet demon, how could she expose herself so easily?
When they entered Teresa's room, they immediately saw the most striking locker, as well as the puppet castle inside.
Teresa trotted to the locker, stood on tiptoe to inspect it, and suddenly sighed, "What a pity. ”
"You two will die too. ”
"Obviously, he looks very capable and powerful, but he died worse than the two wastes before. ”
