Start with the Readers Chapter 674: The man in the iron mask

In the sun-drying room of Rose Manor, Lina looked at the "stone" that appeared on the altar, and her face suddenly showed joy.

Seeing this, Edsack guessed that there must be good news, and the glimmer of hope in his heart grew rapidly, and he couldn't help asking: "Lina, what is this?"

"This is an extraordinary item given by our lord, it can lead us to escape from here." Lina replied while praising Mister Fool.

Just when Prince Edsack wanted to ask a specific question, there was a knock on the door, followed by a deep voice: "Your Highness, I am William Sykes, the deacon of the manor. ...Can I come in?"

His wording seemed polite, but his tone contained a sense of intolerance.

"Sikes...he is also the one who was sent to lurk by my side..." Prince Edsack's face became ugly. After all, people close to him betrayed him, and he always felt uncomfortable.

Lina seemed to be aware of the danger at this moment. She quickly packed up the materials for the ceremony, and then grabbed Edsaac's arm before the deacon broke in.

At the same time, the dark blue stone emitted a light blue and illusory light.

In an instant, the figures of Lina and Edsaac became transparent and disappeared in place.

After two or three breaths, they left the Red Rose Manor and appeared in the basement of a manor on the outskirts of the North District.

This is the meeting point agreed by Lina and Xiao Ke, and it is also the safe house they have chosen long ago, an abandoned manor that has changed hands several times due to haunting.

On the other side, the moment before Lina turned on the "teleportation", the deacon William Sykes, who sensed something was wrong, had already broken in, but he came a step too late, and only saw the afterimage of the prince and a strange woman.

William's originally calm face suddenly twisted, and then he tapped a cane inlaid with purple gemstones on the ground, and a purple light flashed in his eyes at the same time.

After a while, the deacon muttered to himself with some doubts:

"Witch? Why did they send someone to take away His Royal Highness? This is not part of the agreed cooperation..."

…

In the abandoned manor on the outskirts of the North District, Lina breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a little fear, "The deacon outside the door just now should have a terrible holy object in his hand. Fortunately, we escaped quickly. ..."

After finishing speaking, she opened a hidden storage room in the room, took out an iron mask from it and handed it to Edsaac, saying: "Put it on quickly, or you may be tracked by the royal family .”

At this time, Edsack still couldn't believe that he had escaped from birth, so he subconsciously took the mask and put it on his face, and he didn't come back to his senses until a cool feeling came from his face.

The prince pulled the mask, but failed to take it off, as if there were countless little hands sticking to his cheeks inside the mask, so he asked in surprise, "What is this?"

"This is an extraordinary item called the 'Mask of the Man in the Iron Mask'... It can completely hide a person's aura and traces on the mystical level, which seems to use some kind of 'mysterious reappearance' ability , but it can only work on 'royal family members'.

"Among them, kings and princes wear it with the best effect." Lina thought for a while and explained.

"Is this also given by that Mr. Fool?" Edsack didn't continue to pull the mask, but asked curiously.

"It's not... This is one of the items I got when I left Tingen and went to Constant." Lina was silent for a moment before replying.

Recalling it now, she is sure that this cannot be a coincidence... Including the item she got that can temporarily block "0-08", someone must have "arranged" it long ago.

This is also one of the reasons why she resolutely recited the honorable name of Mister Fool... Only mysterious existences can truly fight against mysterious existences.

"But how do I take off this mask?" Edsack didn't ask further, just pointing at the mask.

"It needs to be stained with the blood of blood relatives to remove it."

…

Queens, Earl Hall's luxurious villa.

Audrey stood by the window, watching the light yellow and iron black mist quickly dissipate, and watching the heavy rain that did not belong to winter fall majesticly, her mood calmed down a lot.

After an unknown amount of time, she and Susie finally waited for Earl Hall to come home.

"Dad, what's the matter?" Audrey asked with concern.

Earl Hall showed a gentle smile as he handed over his coat and hat to the waiter:

"Solved, but the specific process is still unclear... I only know that in addition to several major churches and MI9, the 'Dragon Knight' who appeared in the assassination of Duke Negan last time also appeared again, It also prevented that witch from continuing to spread the plague..."

Speaking of which, the earl changed the subject, looked at his daughter with a smile, and continued, "Of course, the one who deserves the most credit is actually my little princess... You really made a great contribution this time, and you deserve to be rewarded." A ton of medals!"

The "Dragon Knight" in the assassination of Duke Negan? Did Mr. "Tower" also make a move?

This is good, this is good...Thanks to Mr. Fool's reminder, thanks to his favored one's adventurous investigation, thanks to Mr. "Tower"'s hard work... Our Tarot Society has once again prevented the evil **** from coming , Saved the world again!

While Audrey was full of pride, she asked curiously, "What happened to the witch and the dragon knight?"

Earl Hall took the towel from the maid, wiped his face, and replied without paying too much attention: "It seems that they were 'erased' by the powerhouses of the Church of Evernight... The specific information has not been compiled yet. "

Huh? Is Mr. "Tower" all right? How can this be? Why do you want to attack 'Hero'... Audrey worked hard to keep her cheeks from puffing up, but she couldn't help but feel worried about Mr. "Tower".

She thought for a while, then asked insincerely: "How is the situation of the civilians in the East District and the factory district?"

Earl Hall didn't want to answer, but considering that his daughter was the first to get information about this matter, he should know about it, so he sighed:

"Casualties were very serious. That witch made the smog in Backlund very deadly... Although the statistical results have not yet come out, I estimate that close to 10,000 people died from the disease in the East District, Dock District and Factory District, and the plague Still spreading...

"Speaking of which, if the 'Dragon Knight' hadn't stopped the witch, the number would have doubled by the time the people from the church arrived."

Thousands of people? This is a number that Audrey can understand but cannot imagine. Her heart suddenly became heavy and her mood became depressed, but she still remembered her original intention and asked in a nonchalant way: "Then why did the church kill Where is the 'Dragon Knight'?"

"It should not be killing...Although the archbishop didn't explain to me what 'erasure' means~IndoMTL.com~, but I think it is closer to 'imprisonment' or 'exile'." Earl Hall thought for a while .

That's okay... Audrey secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and only after her father left did she let Susie's gate guard the gate, and she herself reported the matter to Mister Fool.

…

Above the gray mist, Klein, who has just finished divination about the power of "Squirming Hunger", is studying the "Witch Card" god-making ritual:

"Diffusion and magnification of God War's damage to reality? Maybe this is the advanced application of the authority of 'instigating' or 'charming'... Can even the rules of the world itself be subverted unconsciously?"

While he was thinking about it, he suddenly received a report from Miss Justice, and then, his mood was the same as that lady's, and he suddenly became sad.

"East District...nearly 10,000 people died... I don't know what happened to the old Kohler...

"Aurora Society... Witch Sect... a certain faction in the royal family!"

Klein closed his eyes, but when he opened them again, his eyes became sharper, as if he had made up his mind.

It was only at this time that he was in the mood to examine another meaning in Miss "Justice"'s words: Mister "Tower" was "erased" by the powerful "Evernight Church"?

"Erasure"...it should be the lady who "erased" Mr. A...she doesn't seem unreasonable, at least it doesn't bother me...Why do you want to "erase" the hero who stopped the witch? ?

While wondering in his heart, Klein subconsciously spread his spirituality to the crimson stars of the "tower", only to find unexpectedly that the layer of "fog" had disappeared, and he could contact Mr. "Tower" again!

"The Goddess of the Earth seems to value her loved ones very much... Did you go to negotiate with the goddess in person?"
