Part 5 THE RED PRIEST Chapter 77 The Death of Mason Dill
His Majesty the King …… Hearing Viscount Stretford’s answer, Hugh was for a moment a little bewildered and inwardly puzzled.
She could hardly understand that Sherman deliberately approached this court chamberlain just to investigate who the other party actually served, which didn’t seem to be anything too important and valuable.
And Viscount Stepford’s answer was even more orthodox, unable to pick out a single problem.
Just to get such an answer, Sherman gave his life? Hugh originally wanted to ask Sherman about the purpose of investigating that small matter, but then thought that it would not touch on the core information too quickly, so that Viscount Stepford, who had not yet completely entered the “state” of resistance, so he temporarily resisted the impulse.
She pondered a little, and then asked:
”Do you know Mason Dill?”
”Recognize.” Viscount Stratford replied with a stony expression.
Hugh Dilcha continued with the simpler and not quite so important question:
”Who is he?”
”He is the former Head of the Palace Guard.” Viscount Stratford answered the question purely and simply, without stretching it too far.
At this time, Forsyth didn’t bother to listen to the superficial stage of “mind reading”, and took out the pure crystal ball and put it into Hugh’s coat pocket.
After transferring the item, she bent down once again and carefully tried to pick up the copper-green cross.
This time, amidst the slight trembling of her fingers, the burning soul-like sensation did not strike through her touch, allowing her to easily pick up the item with several spikes.
It’s true, this cross rejects all magical objects outside of it, and won’t allow them to exist …… Uh, I’m still carrying the remnants of the “Moon Paper Man” and the spirit of the ancient grudge, but it’s not reacting… …Does this mean that it doesn’t reject things that don’t contain extraordinary characteristics, and doesn’t resist spirituality and power? If that’s the case, will it similarly reject the extraordinary characteristics within me, but not show it so obviously …… That’s its other negative effect, which takes a certain amount of time to present itself? Foerth had a rough judgment of this copper-green ancient cross, and vigilantly put it into the dark bag containing various ritual materials.
With that done, Voorhees glanced down at the silver bracelet on her wrist, confirming that it was empty and no longer dangling any decorations.
Her five stones that allowed her to “teleport” had all been used up by now.
However, Forsyth was not as frightened as she had been in the past, although she was sure that the “full moon murmurings” would become clearer and more terrifying as the stones were consumed over and over again, she also knew that with Mr. Fool’s help, this would not be a problem, and that in the last year or so, if it were not for the fact that every full moon had been a “teleportation” event, she would not have to worry about the “full moon”. For almost a year now, if it weren’t for the fact that she had to go to the Gray Mist for a short while every full moon or blood moon, she would have forgotten that she was still suffering from the “full moon murmur”.
I hope that one day, this curse will disappear completely …… After taking her gaze back from the dimming silver bracelet, Forsyth couldn’t help but sigh.
She then sincerely thanked Mr. “Fool” in her heart:
”…… No matter what K’s true purpose is, he has at least saved me time and time again, not just in ‘Full Moon Murmurings’. ……
”The level of this cross seems to be quite low, I wonder if Mr. ‘Fool’ would be interested and willing to accept my sacrifice …… I didn’t have any good items or information to return that kind of kindness before, but now I finally see that it’s It’s possible ……
”Uh …… this is a joint trophy, I only own half of it, I wonder if Mr. ‘Fool’ would be willing to accept a sacrifice with only half ownership… …No, Hugh was also saved by Mr. ‘Fool’ ……
”Hey, maybe I can even please Mr. ‘Fool’ with it ……k If he’s satisfied, maybe he’ll drop a couple of extraordinary abilities for me to record in ‘Lemanno’s Traveling Notebook ‘, no, ‘Lemanor’s Traveling Notebook’ certainly can’t record the abilities of a deity to carry Mr. ‘Fool”s power …… hmmm, k The abilities of the angels under the seat would be fine, no, no, no, can’t be too greedy, even if I can ask Mr. ‘World’ to transcribe a few abilities, I’ll be satisfied ……”
Forsyth thought furtively and dreamily anticipated.
It was the instinct of a best-selling novel author.
As for why she didn’t look forward to anything else but the records of extraordinary abilities, it was because she had realized today with an incomparably deep realization the importance and terror of extraordinary abilities at the demigod level.
If that “tornado” hadn’t been transcribed in “Lemanor’s Traveling Notebook”, she and Hugh wouldn’t have been able to catch Viscount Stephod tonight, and they might not have even succeeded in escaping.
–Even if the copper-green cross was not counted, Viscount Stepford himself was a rather powerful extraordinary person, and if he hadn’t been injured by the “tornado” at the very beginning and fell into a dizziness, the two people’s sneak attack would probably not have achieved the desired effect, and there was a great possibility that they would have been counter-attacked! The two of them would probably not be able to achieve the desired effect.
Of course, the separation of the dreaded “Cross of Glory” from Viscount Stepford was the key to victory in that short battle tonight, and this is also the credit of the “Tornado”.
”Think carefully, change a less urgent environment, under the premise of getting rid of that copper green cross and travel notes on the level of demigods, Hugh and I against Viscount Stephod, it is not impossible to win, and even a lot of hope. ……
”The variety and reasonable combination of those extraordinary abilities on the travel notes are really strong, coupled with Hugh’s ‘Spirit Piercing’ ability, the complementary effects of the ‘Cold Blade’ and the involvement of a frontal battle, if Viscount Sturford didn’t have a special magical item, losing would be the only way to win. special magical items, losing would be a reasonable end ……
”A ‘Records Officer’ with a lot of experience and who is still alive is surprisingly this strong …… “The more Voorhees thought about it, the more he had a strange feeling.
That is, it seemed like she probably might have become a bit powerful herself!
Against the Ancient Spiteful Spirit that time, she had already had some similar perceptions, but the subsequent strange contamination she had suffered had left her with only an afterthought to the whole thing, and she hadn’t thought about it any deeper. When disciplining Ernest Boyar, a Blood Viscount, it was not like she and Hugh were involved in a specific battle, so naturally they would not measure their own strength as a result.
But this time, their enemy, Viscount Stepford, was the head of the court guards of the royal family of Ruen, and was at least Sequence 6, most likely Sequence 5, and was in charge of a demigod level item, so the level of strength was quite clear, which allowed Forsyth to immediately use it to position herself in the transcendental world’s “class” – – Although the reason for their victory was more of a “class” than a “class”, she did not think further. -Although the reason for their victory was more of a sneak attack, the fact that they succeeded in doing so was also a sign of their strength.
I’m already a “Records Officer”, and after transcribing and matching my abilities, along with “Lemanor’s Travel Notes”, I’m almost equivalent to a stronger Sequence 5. …… The only problem is that I’m still inexperienced. The only problem is, the experience is still not enough ah …… Forsyth, while sighing, turned his attention to Hugh and Viscount Steerforth, continued to listen to the question and answer of the two.
At this time, Hugh’s question had entered the more central area that was easy to cause resistance:
”What did Mason Dill die of?”
After asking this question, Hugh’s emotions suddenly became extremely complex, with anticipation and apprehension, excitement and fear.
It was a question she had wanted to ask eight years ago, and for nearly three thousand days and nights she had searched for an answer at all times, yet feared that the answer would not be what she wanted it to be, that her father had indeed taken Part 1n that rebellion, and had therefore been put to death without honor.
Viscount Stretford did not answer this question of Hugh’s immediately, and seemed to struggle for a moment before saying:
”He discovered His Majesty’s secret, tried to inform the three churches unsuccessfully, and was executed on the spot.”
Hugh was dumbfounded for several seconds before finally confirming that she had gotten her answer.
The answer, although it horrified her, caused a heart to fall back to its original position and settle down.
”The secret …… of His Majesty the King ……,” she whispered to herself, and asked with an air of urgency:
”What is the secret?”
Forsyth beside her was also shocked and nearly frozen, not realizing that things would go to such an extent.
At this moment, Viscount Stepford’s face muscles appeared visibly twisted, and it was hard for him to spit out a few words:
”That secret is ……”
Suddenly, his body trembled violently, and his confused eyes regained their vigor all of a sudden.
Immediately afterward, he disintegrated from the tiniest of structures, instantly collapsing into a cloud of “fireworks”.
The blood-colored “fireworks” straight into the sky, exploded, lit up the night, reflected in the eyes of Forsyth and Hugh.
This …… has the previous experience, Forsyth gaze stagnation, did not shilly-shally anything, immediately squatted down, respectively grabbed the snowman corpse and Hugh’s calves.
Their silhouettes quickly transparent, disappeared in place, “teleportation” to the southern part of the bridge.
……
Above the gray fog, holding the “Scepter of Poseidon”, Klein also saw the “fireworks” that colored the sky red.
Previously, when Forsyth prayed to him, he happened to be in this majestic palace to observe the actions of Chunas Korg, and in passing, he accommodated the “Red Priest” card, ingested his own cut paper figures, mobilized the power of the mysterious space, and gave a response.
In the process, he realized that the one lying next to the “magician” and the “judgment” lady was Viscount Stepford.
–This is a target that he focused on, although he did not personally investigate, but he knew that the other party has a problem, and knew that the witch Tris is targeting this person, so, at a ball, remembered the corresponding appearance and characteristics.
Klein was not sure what the two members of the Tarot Club wanted to do, but since it involved Viscount Stephod, he certainly would not ignore the importance of it, and directly through the corresponding Crimson Star, he observed the subsequent encounters of the “Magician” and the “Judgement” lady.
–After he was promoted to demigod and gained more authority here, without the need for Tarot Club members to pray, Klein could directly check the situation in a certain area around the other party through the corresponding crimson star, which was similar to a specially marked believer, but Klein was very restrained about it and had never tried it before.
This allowed him to overhear the conversation between Hugh and Viscount Stepford.
And knowing what he knew, he was well aware of the true meaning and weight of the question, “Whose allegiance?”
Combined with the fact that Mason Dill, the former head of the palace guard, had discovered the king’s secret and failed in his attempts to inform the three churches, Klein had a suspicion of the answer:
He suspects that the biggest culprit in the Birkeland haze is the King of Ruin, George III!
