Chapter 262 Aftermath
"...Mr. Bishop, this is probably what happened this time." Marquis Mondoc covered his head, his voice a little hoarse.
"Then did you feel anything unusual? Where is Duke Mentor?" Bishop Waona frowned and subconsciously clenched the six-sided holy emblem representing the Temple of Awakening in his right hand.
"Abnormal? Well, I seem to have lost part of my memory..." Marquis Mondoc's expression suddenly became a little painful, and he held his head with both hands tighter, and even pulled it off Several of my own hair.
"I...I can't remember, I can't remember!" Marquis Mondoc's expression became very distorted, he became very excited, and even looked a little crazy.
Bang——
Black scales appeared on Marquis Mondoc’s right hand, and his fingers became more curved and sharp. At this time, his right hand became the sharp edge of some special dragon beast. The claws are sharp and have some special additional effect similar to corrosion or darkness.
At this time, Marquis Mondok looked crazy, waving his right hand that had turned into a dragon's claw and clawing hard at Bishop Waona.
But the next moment, a thin light curtain firmly protected Bishop Waona's body, and at the same time blocked the attack of Marquis Mondok from outside the light curtain.
"Ho ho ho..." Marquis Mondok's eyes were cloudy at this time, and his mouth made a gasping sound similar to that of a beast.
"Sure enough, there is a problem." Bishop Waona looked at the mad Marquis Mondok, and waved his right hand holding the six-edged Holy Emblem.
Suddenly a faint golden light appeared, condensing into a special rope to tightly bind Marquis Mondoc. At the moment of being bound by the rope, the talent inspired by Marquis Mondoc【 Black Scale] was directly banned, causing his power to disappear. At the same time, the right hand that had completely transformed into a dragon claw also returned to its original state.
"Your Majesty the Bishop."
"How is the situation?"
"Seventeen noble people disappeared in the Mondoc family mansion last night. Three people have been recovered so far. Another Nine corpses were found, and two more corpses were suspected of being destroyed, but it was confirmed through the blood tracking talent that they were dead."
"In addition, 6 visiting nobles or their accompanying servants woke up. Their personalities have changed significantly since then, but so far no evidence has been found that they were invaded or controlled by demons; the situation in the Mondoc family is the most serious, and almost all members of the family and their servants have problems of varying degrees... "
"According to the estimates of scholars, the demon clan active within the Mondok family this time may have been lurking longer than we thought, and its danger level may have exceeded that of ordinary A. A super demon can get the highest level of S-level evaluation..."
"Can you confirm its identity? Is it a demon that has been active before?" After hearing that it was rated "S-level", Bishop Waona frowned and his expression became extremely serious.
As the church’s first person in charge of dealing with lurking demons, what he hates most now is information about S-class lurking demons.
After all, a lurking demon that can be rated as an S-level hazard means trouble, and it’s big trouble! If it is not handled properly, it is very likely that another terrorist crisis will break out within the royal capital.
"Take me to see the three missing people who were rescued." After a moment of reflection, Bishop Waona stood up and walked outside. ...
Lucian was placed in a guest room at this time, with a touch of fear and uneasiness on his face. He would even rub his eyes or lick his nails with his hands from time to time to maintain his current situation. The image of [Lula] is used to deal with those temple personnel or some specially awakened people who may be observing him secretly.
But in his heart, Lucian still breathed a sigh of relief. After all, as long as he passes the level of the priests in the Awakening Temple, things will be over this time.
“It’s finally quiet.” Lu Xian muttered to himself, and at the same time, his hand quietly touched the inside of the pocket of his clothes, where Lucian specially placed a drop of ink, just in case something unexpected happens later. He was going to use some "special means" to have friendly communication with the priests.
“Boy, relax, although these ordinary characters in the dream retain some human characteristics, they are after all just products derived from the thought of existence, and they are definitely not as intelligent as normal life. It’s relatively simple.”
Count Thanasis’s voice sounded in Lucian’s ears.
At the same time, Lucian also sensed Count Thanasis swimming leisurely in his spiritual core at this time, so relaxed that he could only put a leisure swimming ring on his chubby body.
"I'm not too nervous. After all, the biggest guy behind has been fished out. I just don't want to stumble in these small places." Lucian pretended to be relaxed, but he still didn't stop thinking. and analysis, wanting to cover up all his flaws as much as possible.
"Tsk, you duplicitous little wizard." Count Thanasis seemed to be a little "lively" at this time because he had just eaten. After noticing some fluctuations in Lucian's spiritual core, he shouted softly. The sound seemed to be teasing Lucian's duplicity.
"This is necessary rigor." Lucian gently rubbed his face with his hands a few times to help relax the facial muscles slightly so that the expression he was waiting for would be more realistic.
Although this little trick is not as effective as using witchcraft for assistance, it is better than doing nothing when it is temporarily inconvenient to mobilize witchcraft.
"Two-legged hairy monster, I feel that you are being targeted." Suddenly, Count Thanasis, who was leisurely in his spiritual core, seemed to feel something, and his body stiffened slightly. After a moment, he gave a reminder.
"Huh?" Lucian was shocked, but he did not show any abnormality. Instead, he continued his small movements, appropriately showing a certain degree of restlessness, and at the same time he held himself back. Use the [Mind Reading] talent to counter-observe the voyeur's thoughts, but quietly wait for the voyeur to show up.
Tuk-tuk-tuk...
Soon, there was a rhythmic knock on the door, and then a young woman dressed as a maid walked in.
"She is dressed as a maid of the Mondoc family, but the family coat of arms representing the Mondoc family on the chest is missing. At the same time... the face is relatively unfamiliar, so the possibility of disguise cannot be ruled out." Lucian quickly He smelled something unusual from this strange maid, but he did not say anything, but opened his eyes wide, with a hint of normal vigilance in his eyes.
