Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Death of Mason Diere
His Majesty the King...... Hearing Viscount Stafford answer, Hugh was a little dazed for a while, and his heart was full of doubts.
She couldn't understand that Sherman deliberately approached the chief of the palace guard just to find out who the other party was loyal to, which didn't seem to be too important or valuable.
And Viscount Stafford answered very orthodox, and couldn't fault the slightest problem.
Hugh wanted to ask again about the purpose of Sherman's investigation of that trivial matter, but in a blink of an eye, he thought that this would not touch the more core information too quickly, so that Viscount Stafford who had not yet completely entered the "state" resisted, so he temporarily suppressed his impulse.
She groaned slightly, and then asked:
"Do you know Mason Deere?"
"Recognize. Viscount Steford replied with a sluggish expression.
Hugh Dilcha goes on to ask simpler, less important questions:
"Who is he?"
"He is the former chief of the palace guard. "Viscount Sterford only answered questions and didn't stretch too much.
At this time, Furth didn't listen to the "mind reading" in the superficial stage, and took out the pure crystal ball and put it in Hugh's pocket.
After transferring the item, she bent down again, cautiously trying to pick up the patina cross.
This time, her fingers trembled slightly, and the soul-burning sensation didn't come to her by touch, allowing her to easily pick up the object with a few spikes.
Sure enough, the cross will repel all magical objects outside of it, and will not allow them to exist...... Well, I still have the remnants of the "Moon Paper Man" and the ancient wraith, and it doesn't react...... If that were the case, would it not be equally repulsive to the extraordinary in me, but not so obviously...... This is the other negative effect of it, which will take some time to manifest itself? Furth had a rough judgment of the patina of the quaint cross, and vigilantly put it in the pouch containing the various ritual materials.
With that done, Furth looked down at the silver bracelet on his wrist to make sure it was empty and no longer hung with any decorations.
Her five stones that could "teleport" had been used up by now.
However, Firth was not as frightened as before, although she was sure that with the consumption of the stones, the "full moon whisper" would become clearer and more terrifying, but she also knew that with the help of Mr. "Fool", this was not a problem, and for almost a year, if she had not had to spend a short time on the gray mist every time the full moon or blood moon was over, she would have almost forgotten that she was still suffering from the "full moon whispering".
Hopefully, one day, this curse will die away completely...... After retracting his gaze from the fading silver bracelet, Furth couldn't help but sigh.
She immediately thanked Mr. "Fool" in her heart:
“...... Whatever His true purpose, at least he saved me time and time again, and not just in the 'full moon whispering'......
"The level of this cross does not seem to be low, I wonder if Mr. 'Fool' will be interested in accepting my sacrifice...... I didn't have good items or information to repay that kindness, but now I finally see that it's possible......
"Uh...... This is a common spoil, and I only own half of it, and I wonder if Mr. 'Fool' is willing to accept the sacrifice of only half ownership...... No, Hugh was also saved by Mr. 'Fool'......
"Hehe, maybe you can please Mr. Fool for this...... If he is satisfied, he may send down some extraordinary abilities for me to record in the 'Travels Notes of Lymanor', no, 'Laymanor's Travels' will certainly not be able to record the power of the gods, and it will not be able to carry the power of Mr. 'Fool'...... Well, the abilities of the angels under his seat can also be, no, no, no, not too greedy, even if I can ask Mr. 'World' to transcribe a few abilities, I am very satisfied......"
Fowl thought thoughtlessly, and dreamed of anticipation.
It's the instinct of a best-selling author.
As for why she didn't expect anything else, only the record of extraordinary abilities, it was because she had an incomparably deep understanding of the importance and horror of extraordinary abilities at the demigod level today.
If the "tornado" hadn't been transcribed in "Lemanno's Travel Notes", she and Hugh would not have been able to catch Viscount Steford tonight, and they might not even have been able to escape.
- Even if you don't count the patina cross, Viscount Stafford himself is quite a powerful extraordinary, if he hadn't been injured by the "tornado" at the beginning and fell his head dizzy, the sneak attack of the two would most likely not achieve the expected effect, and it was very likely that they would be counterattacked.
Of course, separating the dreaded "Glorious Cross" from Viscount Stafford was the difference between victory and defeat in tonight's brief battle, and it was also a credit to "Tornado".
"Think about it carefully, change the environment that is not so urgent, under the premise of getting rid of that bronze cross and the demigod-level ability on the travel note respectively, it is not impossible for Hugh and I to join forces against Viscount Stafford to deal with it, and there is even a great hope......
"The variety and reasonable combination of those extraordinary abilities on the travel notes is really strong, coupled with Hugh's 'Psychic Piercing' ability, the supplement of the effect of the 'Cold Blade' and the involvement of head-on combat, if Viscount Stafford does not have a special magical item, losing is a reasonable ending......
"A 'recorder' who has a lot of experience and is still alive is so strong," Furth felt stranger the more he thought about ......it.
That is, it seems that I may have become a little bit stronger!
When dealing with the ancient resentful spirit, she already had some similar understanding, but then suffered from strange pollution, and she was only afraid of the whole thing, and did not think about it deeply. When punishing Ernes Boyar, the viscount of the Blood Clan, she and Hugh did not participate in specific battles, so naturally they would not measure their own strength because of this.
And this time, their enemy, Viscount Stafford is the chief of the court guard of the royal family of Rune, and he is at least sequence 6, most likely sequence 5, and is in charge of a demigod-level item, and the level of strength is quite clear, so that Foerth can use this to position his "class" in the transcendent world - although the reason for their victory is more due to sneak attacks, and the possibility of successful sneak attacks is also a manifestation of strength in itself.
I'm already a "recorder", and after transcribing and matching it, plus "Lemanor's Travel Notes", it's almost equivalent to a strong sequence 5...... The only problem is that the experience is still insufficient...... With emotion, Furth turned his gaze to Hugh and Viscount Steford, and continued to listen to their questions and answers.
At this point, Hugh's problem has entered the more core areas of resistance:
"What caused Mason Deere to die?"
After asking this question, Hugh's emotions suddenly became extremely complicated, with anticipation, apprehension, excitement, and fear.
This is the question she wanted to ask eight years ago, and for nearly 3,000 days and nights, she searched for answers all the time, but she was afraid that the answers were not what she wanted, that her father was indeed involved in the rebellion, and that she would be executed without any honor.
Viscount Stafford did not answer Hugh's question at once, and seemed to struggle for a moment before he said:
"He discovered His Majesty's secret and tried to inform the three major churches that he had failed and was executed on the spot. ”
Hugh froze for several seconds, finally confirming that he had an answer.
Although this answer frightened her, it made her heart fall back to its original position and settle down.
"Secret...... His Majesty's secret ......," she whispered to herself, and asked in an anxious manner:
"What's the secret?"
Foirth next to her was also almost stunned, he didn't expect things to go this way.
At this time, the muscles of Viscount Stafford appeared visibly distorted, and he finally spat out a few words:
"That secret is ......"
Suddenly, his body trembled violently, and his confused eyes suddenly regained their brightness.
Immediately afterward, he disintegrated from the most subtle structure, and in an instant collapsed into a cloud of "fireworks".
The blood-colored "fireworks" soared into the sky, exploded, illuminated the night, and met the eyes of Furth and Hugh.
This...... With the previous experience, Furth's eyes lagged behind, and he didn't say anything more, and immediately squatted down and grabbed the shrewn of Sherman's corpse and Hugh's shin respectively.
Their figures flew quickly and transparently, disappeared in place, and "teleported" to the south area of the bridge.
............
Above the gray fog, Crane, who was holding the "Poseidon Scepter", also saw the "fireworks" that stained the sky red.
When Foirth prayed to him before, he happened to observe the actions of Chunas Korg in this majestic palace, and conveniently contained the "Red Priest" card, took the paper figure cut by himself, and mobilized the power of the mysterious space to give a response.
In the process, he discovers that the one lying next to Miss "The Magician" and "Miss Judgment" is actually Viscount Steford.
- This is a target he focuses on, although he didn't investigate it himself, but he knew that the other party had a problem, and knew that the witch Triss was targeting him, so, at a ball, he remembered the corresponding appearance and characteristics.
Klein didn't know exactly what the two Tarot members wanted to do, but since it involved Viscount Stafford involved, he would definitely not ignore the importance, and directly observed the subsequent encounters of "The Magician" and "Miss Trial" through the corresponding crimson stars.
- After being promoted to a demigod and gaining more authority here, Crane can directly investigate the situation in a certain area around the other party through the corresponding crimson stars without the prayer of the members of the Tarot Society, which is similar to a specially marked believer, but Crane is very restrained in this regard and has never tried it before.
This led him to hear a conversation between Hugh and Viscount Steford.
And he, who knows the inside story, knows very well the true meaning and weight of the question of "whom to allegiance".
Combined with the fact that Mason Deere, the former chief of the palace guard, discovered the king's secret and tried to inform the three major churches of the failure, Klein already had a guess about the answer:
He suspects that the biggest murderer of the Great Smog of Beckland is the king of the Kingdom of Rune, George III!
