Chapter 14: Sonia Helo, Lady Tiffany's niece
Wallon Dali had a deep gaze and a grudge.
"Who knows, the Church's catalogue of forbidden books on magic doesn't care about this, they just use despicable means to hinder the progress and research of magic, and attack other beliefs that are different from the Church, it seems that only the Church is righteous, but the people of the Church are the murderers who killed Alex. It's ironic. ”
Strong lunged over and gagged Wallon Dali, apologetic.
"Mr. Detective, he's old and confused, and he always says strange things, don't be surprised. ”
Downing knew it was because of his identity.
After all, the Bureau of Investigation is still nominally under the jurisdiction of the Church, and it is the law enforcement agency of the Church and the secular royal power, so it is indeed inappropriate to abuse the Church in this way.
However, he was not a staunch enforcer, and waved his hand and smiled.
"It doesn't matter, everybody has the freedom to express their opinions, it doesn't matter. ”
Strong eased up a little and let go of Wallon's mouth, his face flushed.
"I know that, and I'd like to read the book if I get the chance. ”
......
It was already evening when I left Strong's place and returned to my residence, and I was about to pack up some food to fill my stomach, when there was a knock at the door.
Opening the door, Ms. Tiffany stood in the doorway, and next to her stood a well-dressed young girl.
"Mr. Downing, this is the niece Sonia Hagrid I mentioned earlier. ”
The brown eyes are sparkling, a plaid dress, white skin, and a little freckles on the eyelids, but they are quite beautiful and do not affect their beauty at all.
But Downing didn't understand the other party's intentions.
The obese Tiffany immediately introduced the girl.
"Downing Stewart, the official agent of the Paranormal Investigation Bureau in town, as I mentioned to you, is now the hero who killed the murderer of Alex, young and promising. ”
Sonia beckoned to Tangning, bowing her head a little shyly.
Although he didn't know what to do, out of politeness, Downing still beckoned to the other party, and then looked at Ms. Tiffany suspiciously.
Tiffany reached out and pulled Downing out and stepped aside to lower her voice.
"As I told you, my niece Sonia is now single and a tailor in Raventown. ”
As soon as he said he was single, Tang Ning immediately understood what was going on.
Ms. Tiffany did, but it was not long after she arrived in town, and she said that if Downing could become a detective, she would introduce her niece, and nearly two years were almost forgotten.
And he thought it was just a ...... Joke!
"Girls are always a little shy, you have to take the initiative. ”
Tiffany had enough to do and turned away.
Tang Ning invited the girl into the house and sat down, and then poured water, he was still a chick in terms of feelings, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
After a moment, Sonia broke the calm first.
Holding a glass of water, with a gentle smile.
"My aunt often talks about you, from a temporary agent to a full-fledged agent, and now you are still a big hero in Red Leaf Town, tell me about you. ”
Tang Ning touched his head embarrassedly, and casually chatted a little about his past, and the whole person was not in a state.
Time passed quickly, and Sonia got up to say goodbye.
"I'll be here for a while, just at my aunt's house, and you can come to me whenever you have time. ”
The intention of this sentence is obvious, which means that his performance is okay and has won the girl's approval.
Downing dressed and sent the girl to Ms. Tiffany's door, waiting for the girl to disappear from view before turning to leave.
There are few pedestrians on the streets, because of the murder that happened not long ago, and more importantly, the weather is really a bit cold, which is not suitable for staying outdoors for a long time, especially at night.
He was in a good mood.
It stands to reason that at this time, his heart only has how to go back, but after seeing the girl, he suddenly found that the matter became not too urgent.
When I came to this strange world, I always didn't feel at home, and the main reason was because there was a lack of someone in the family.
After taking a few steps, a dark shadow flashed in my ears.
"Someone is in love......"
When the voice came, Tang Ning was stunned, and followed the sound to look over, and there was a crow standing on a linden tree on the side of the road.
"It's ...... you again"
The crow let out a strange laugh, unable to distinguish between mockery and amusement.
"It's me, it's me, the one cursed by the devil. ”
The crow was a witness to discovering that the coffin was not a corpse in addition to himself, and Tang Ning looked at it for a while and tried to ask.
"About daytime ......"
The crow quacked and flew into the air.
"Illusion...... ...... all"
Seeing the crow's figure disappear into the night, Tangning pondered what the crow said.
Suddenly looking panicked, he hurried home and closed the door and sat on a chair.
"It's an illusion, the summoning ritual didn't fail, it succeeded. ”
According to the "Third Key" that he copied, the six people corresponding to the summoning card seal can obtain illusion immunity in the twelve major types of magic, so he sees the truth, and what others see is illusion.
"Inside the coffin is wood, what about Alex's body and human head?"
"Who used illusion on the crowd, and for what purpose?"
"There are supernatural power owners present besides normal people, didn't they realize that it was an illusion?"
"Even if the owner of supernatural power can't see through it, but the ruling warrior from the church is protected by the holy light, and the holy light of the church is higher than all supernatural powers except for divine magic, can't he avoid illusion?"
The Holy Light belongs to the Divine Magic/Dark Monk magic system among the twelve major types of magic.
Divine magic/Dark Monk magic are both divine karma, which appears in matter through the prayers of monks.Compared with other magic that manipulates the natural world, the prayer miracles used by monks can suddenly appear without any process because they directly quote the power of God.Divine magic has a deep compassion for human beings, and it is a friendly divine karma, so it is mainly based on healing and spiritual restoration.
Holy magic is superior to most types of magic, and in particular, it provides spiritual regeneration that resists most magical effects.
Therefore, illusions will be ineffective in the face of divine magic.
But this time, the ruling warriors, who were protected by divine magic, didn't see the clue either.
The spectacle was repeated the next day.
......
Arrive at the local chapel early the next morning.
All criminals in supernatural events are brought to the place where the church belongs, to be tried and convicted.
There weren't many people at the scene, except for their colleagues from the Occult Investigation Bureau, as well as the regular officers of the local police station, as well as the ruling samurai Royce, who didn't leave with his companions for unknown reasons after the case was solved, and some of the clergy of the chapel.
At the end of the mournful prayer, the murderer's body was tied to a stone pillar carved out of wood with strange symbols representing the special meaning of the supernatural powers of the Church.
In fact, this pillar carved out of wood also has a special meaning.
