Although Hao Ren was very curious about the process of Yitzax's "soul interrogation", he didn't dare to go with him to see the excitement from the perspective of protecting the three views, but went to Betsy's house with others to bid farewell to those elves, and received some information about the return sect by the way.After he led the others back to the royal city, the interrogation had just ended.With Aufra leading the way, the group went directly to the cathedral, where they met the Pope and several bishops in a modest but very spacious room.The Pope's spirit still seems to be a little withered, and today's assassination is still a big burden for him, but after all, with the support of divine magic, he recovers quickly.And the two of them were also standing in the room, and it seemed that the "work" was done.When the little girl Elizabeth saw Hao Ren, she immediately rushed up and greeted her: "Uncle Ren!
That's it!
Runes of Pain are so useful!
”Hao Ren patted the delicate little horn on the little girl's head - after a period of contact, he knew that this little devil liked others to touch her horn very much, which meant to show intimacy - and then looked up at Yizax: "Lao Wang, is it really okay for you to let your daughter learn this?"
”Izax also nodded in agreement: "It's indeed a bit late to learn the Soul Extraction Technique and the Pain Rune at this age.However, after all, this kid's bloodline is not pure, and it should be later to learn demonic spells than demons of the same age. ”Hao Ren: "......
That was not what I meant.Hey, forget it, I can't figure out the question of the worldview with the two of you.What did you ask?
”"That monster is a 'fusion corpse', created by the Returning Sect with a 'divine technique' that they call 'God-given Might', somewhat similar to undead magic, but what is created is a living thing, and it is not afraid of all kinds of divine power, so I suspect that the Returning Sect really has some knowledge related to divine arts, but it was just used crookedly by them."
Izax said as he sat down on the wide-backed chair next to him, "In addition, the Return Sect does not know the truth about the banquet held in the palace today.From the very beginning, the Huiyao Sect paid attention to keeping the secrets about the eldest son and the foreigners, and deliberately guided it when publicizing it to the outside world, and also released false information to some suspicious people, so the Returning Sect mistakenly thought that today's Imperial City Feast was just an ordinary aristocratic banquet.Their assassination plan had been in the works for more than two months, and had even infiltrated some of the Royal Guards and High Monks, who had chosen to do so today because the King and the Pope were both present, and some of the soldiers on duty in the Imperial City happened to be under their control, and more importantly, they had obtained some kind of 'artifact' - the scroll.However, they were unlucky, and they didn't expect that the truth of the banquet was to entertain a bunch of alien supermen, so they failed in such a mess. ”As soon as Lily heard this, she felt that she had a lot of credit, and wagged her tail happily: "So I'm pretty good!"
”"Okay, okay, you're amazing," Hao Ren pressed Lily's head and told her not to jump, "Why don't you remember that sour smell again?"
”Before Lily could say anything, Vivien bumped Hao Ren on the back: "You took advantage of the meal to take revenge on society, right?"
”Ofrah's expression was extremely serious: "Both the royal guards and the high-ranking monks have been infiltrated?
How could those cultists do this?
”"Because they're good at controlling psychic powers," replied Itzax, "and they've gotten a lot of evil spells from an evil god.These cultists are very patient, and they do not sit still when they are pressed by you. ”"The evil god should be the 'voice of the master,'" Hao Ren immediately remembered the information he had just learned today, "and then?"
Did you dig up the list of infiltrated people from the soul of that monster?
”A white-robed archbishop next to him shook his head: "There is no list, that monster is just an assassin, he doesn't know anything too detailed."
And even if we had a list, it didn't work, and after the assassination, we went to track down the guards on duty, but found that many of them were missing.We found the bodies of some guards near the outer walls of the palace, and the death gesture was suicidal, but it is possible that they were forced to commit suicide under the condition of mind control, and the fate of the other missing soldiers should be similar.The heretics have the power to control people's hearts, which makes their every action watertight, and there are almost no problems with being caught alive leaking secrets or miscommunicating - except this time, we have successfully tortured the souls of heretics. ”Hao Ren touched his chin: "In other words......
Are all the infiltrated personnel dead?
”The Pope sighed, "None of them have been caught. ”At this time, Lily suddenly interjected: "But how do you know that there are no people who are controlled among the remaining guards?"
”Hao Ren didn't react for a moment: "Didn't the guards who were mentally controlled run away?"
”"Let some of the outcasts run out to get your attention, and pretend that everyone has evacuated after the matter is revealed, so that the rest of the guards will naturally not be much suspicious, at most a routine check," Lily shook her head slightly, "but God knows how many of the remaining guards are controlled." ”Vivian suddenly looked at this Erha in surprise: "Okay, you, big dog, I didn't expect you to have this scheming?"
”Lily hugged her arms and shook her tail vigorously: "Nonsense, I am also from writing novels, and this logic is still there."
And what do you think those spies did when there was a mess and a war in the country?
I've seen a lot!
Let me tell you, the gang of goods from the Central Command and the Military Commander back then ......"
Hao Ren hurriedly pressed Lily's mouth: "Don't talk about things that have nothing to do with the topic......
Don't bite my hand!
”"In short, all soldiers and monks of the Church are to be investigated," said Oprah with his hand on the hilt of his sword, "and the situation is far from what we think it is.But this time, fortunately, the problems have been exposed, otherwise I am afraid that something big will happen if it continues to develop like this. ”"Did you find the cultists' lair?"
Hao Ren shook his finger and looked at Yitzax."
They're all gone," Itzax shrugged, "and they're spiritually connected. ”Vivien followed up and asked, "What about the information about that scroll?"
Where did the reels come from?
Who sent it?
What was it used for?
”"That's kind of interesting," Izax laughed, "In the soul memories of the fused corpse, the scroll came from the 'outer heavens', a 'great' creature brought from the goddess to the Returning Sect.They called that great creature the voice of what......
Hao Ren reminded: "It's the voice of the master." ”Itzhax slapped his bald head: "Oh yes, the voice of the master, I'll just say it's definitely not the voice of the campus......
By the way, you know?
”"It seems to be similar to what I guessed," Hao Ren smiled, "There is a giant brain that has come to this planet, and it has the ability to bring things from its hometown.But presumably this is not very easy, so the return sect has only gotten a scroll so far, and the outer sects can only stir up the atmosphere by summoning the advent clone of the giant brain. ”Speaking of this, he glanced up at the Pope and Ophora, "I'm more straightforward—you can handle this yourself, right?"
”"This is the duty of the Goddess's people," the Pope nodded slightly, "and let us take care of this ourselves." ”"Then I'll have to say goodbye and leave," Hao Ren stood up, "after all, I'll have to deal with something more troublesome than a handful of cultists—those two lumps of steel wool that have been dug up from your planet." ”After leaving the cathedral, the group had to go to Tanagus through the portal in the basement of Betsy's house.The whole basement smelled of wine: it was the old gang of elves who accidentally knocked over a small wine rack when they came over.The mercenary girl looked at the baby bumps in the wine cellar with a worried face: "I have to let people dig another wine cellar next to it, it's too unreliable to put the baby at the exit of the station." ”"You still bother to keep an eye on this side of the matter," Hao Ren told Betsy before leaving, "You are also a nobleman now, and you can directly participate in many things."
If there's any progress in the investigation of heretics, remember to let me know as soon as possible.In addition, the bearded man will stay here, the two of you take care of each other, safety first, if you can't beat it, hurry up and ......"
Betsy nodded again and again: "Don't worry, I'm good at this." ”Hao Ren: "......"
(I need to go out tomorrow to run errands, I don't know how busy I will be, so I ask for a leave in advance, I can't update it at noon, and it shouldn't be delayed at night, well, in theory.) ）(To be continued.) )
