Start with the Readers Chapter 672: The hunger that dare not wriggle
On the outskirts of Backlund Queens District, inside the sun-drying house of Red Rose Manor.
Prince Edsac was venting his story to his childhood friend, finally he sighed and forced a smile:
"Leland... No, I should call you Lina. I feel very honored that you can patiently listen to my confession... After all, it means that I am not a failure... I still have Friends.
"However, you really should go... The person from the royal family who came to supervise my 'death penalty' should be here soon...
"And I can get the time to say goodbye to you, which means that Finkel really betrayed me... otherwise he would have rushed in to stop it.
"Heh...he still misses some old love, at least he didn't plan to do it himself, and left some time for me to escape... Unfortunately, it's useless."
After listening to Edsack's self-report, Lina finally fully understood how much this friend was involved in. She frowned, pinched the "Witch" card that the other party had just given her, and asked Road:
"Are you going to just wait like this? To wait for your so-called 'end of the story'?"
Speaking of this, Lina looked straight into the other person's eyes and said seriously:
"The Edsack I know is not such a person who gives up easily!
"Besides, since you love that witch Triss, shouldn't you work hard to live for her?"
Prince Edsac lost his mind for a moment when he heard the words, then shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's a pity that this matter is too involved. If I don't die, I can't explain it to the church...
"Lina, speaking of it...our experience is really like..." They all became abandoned children of some ulterior transactions.
He has completely figured out his situation at this moment, knowing that Lina wants to leave, and there will not be many people stopping her, but if the other party takes him, it is likely to attract Sequence 5 or even a strong demigod. the shot.
"But I never thought of putting my life on the line! Edsack, there are some things that can only survive if you work hard!"
After all, Lina, who has experienced a lot of experience, is much more determined than the pampered prince, and is more decisive when encountering situations. For some existences, it may be just a small matter."
"What do you want to do?" Edsack looked over in surprise and asked with wide-eyed eyes.
From Lina's tone, he more or less guessed some of her plans.
"As you can imagine, I need to ask for help from a hidden existence..." Lina replied, taking out various materials and arranging the ceremony.
Ed Sac looked at her complicatedly and said, "I don't deserve you to do this for me..."
"During the years when I 'disappeared', you were the only friend who still missed me and tried to find me!" Lina replied without looking up, and put the "Witch" card on the On the "altar", for the first time, she recited the honorable name of the "god" she had long professed to believe in:
"Fools who do not belong to this era, you are the mysterious master above the gray mist, you are the king of yellow and black in charge of good luck."
Lina had been in contact with Mister Fool through Shaco...well, it was Shako, but in order to save Edsaac, she had to take the risk of establishing a closer relationship with that mysterious existence. Contact...
Fortunately... this "Card of Blasphemy" from Edsaac is a very good sacrifice, and it should be able to please Mister Fool. While praying "piously", Lina thought in her heart.
Hearing Lina's prayer, Edsack unconsciously had a glimmer of hope while he was worried.
After all, Prince Edsaac commissioned the great detective Sherlock Moriarty to investigate the "The Fool" and its "Heroes" organization and "Tarot" organization, and obtained a lot of information. It is a powerful force that is hostile to the Aurora Society and the "True Creator".
"I didn't expect my friend to be a follower of that 'The Fool'... No wonder she has the ability to get rid of the control of the 'Witch Sect'..."
…
In a mountain forest on the outskirts of Backlund, after witnessing Mr. A being "erased" by a beautiful woman in a dark robe, Klein fled all the way, trying to find a small town to blend in with the crowd and hide. Own.
Only in human society can the abilities of "faceless people" be brought into full play.
At the same time, he was very uneasy about the woman who cooperated with Mr. A, uh, she should be a witch, and she went to the East District...
From the situation of the ceremony, there may be a large-scale death over there. I don't know... Klein, who has the spiritual intuition of a fortune-teller, suddenly feels heavy in his heart.
At this moment, all the colors in front of his eyes became intense, as if they were splashed with oil paint by the gods.
This feeling disappeared in a flash, and Klein found himself far away from where he was originally, and saw Azik Eggers with bronze complexion and soft features appearing beside him.
He quickly asked the opponent about the result of the demigod melee before, and was concerned about whether Mr. Azik was injured because of it.
Adzik shook his head with a smile, then briefly described the battle, and finally said: "Ince Zangwill is still alive, still in charge of that '0'-level sealed item... And he may have an object that can hide himself in all directions...at least I will never be able to detect his position."
It should be the "Fallen Morning Star"... I lost it... Klein thought with a heavy heart, and then he opened his mouth to introduce the ability of that magical item created by Roselle to Mr. Ards.
"I seem to have heard of this item..." Mr. Ards frowned, and after recalling it for a while, he continued, "It should be very famous in the circle of Extraordinary people, I vaguely remember that someone relied on it Escaping the pursuit of the Augustus family angel."
"Escape from the angel's pursuit?" Klein didn't expect that item to have such an "experience", and felt a little guilty for a while. After all, it was Mr. "Tower"'s thing, and the greater the value, the more expensive his "debt" would be. "The bigger it is.
Mr. Ards didn't say any more about the "Fallen Morning Star", but instead talked about the functions and limitations of "0-08". Here is the proof.
Klein originally wanted to ask about Viscount Cullen, but Mr. Ards himself seemed to be being targeted by a strong member of the Church of Evernight, so he couldn't stay too long, so he could only hurry up and say:
"Mr. Ards, I have obtained a 'Card of Blasphemy' made by Emperor Russell, which contains high-sequence secrets. I think it can help you awaken more things, but you have to wait a while, It's hidden in Backlund."
Klein wanted to use this method to thank Mr. Azik for his help and contribution. As for asking about Karen, he can write to ask after he has settled down.
Azik gave him a slightly surprised look, but in the end he said nothing, nodded slightly and said:
"When you get it back, let the courier bring it to me, and I will return it to you immediately after I study it, or you can directly copy the corresponding content to me."
He paused, as if he didn't want to accept such a gift for nothing, even though he knew that the other party was grateful for his help...
So after thinking for a while, Azik took out a glove as thin as human skin from his pocket, handed it to Klein and said:
"This is the relic of the pirate general last time. I have made some seals so that it will not be hungry at ordinary times, but every time it is used, it must be fed with a human's flesh and soul, otherwise, it will devour it You.
"Anyway, I don't need it anymore, but it's better for you to hold it for self-defense.
"Don't refuse it, it has already been rejected by Detective Bryan...you won't and don't like it?"
…"squirming hunger"? Originated from the legacy of a "shepherd" after death? Klein immediately recalled what that glove represented.
But... Detective Brian? Do Mr. Ards and Mr. "Tower" also know each other? And from his tone, he seems to think that Detective Blaine and I know each other?
Just as Klein was about to ask something, Mr. Koazick suddenly glanced in the northwest direction, and after saying "Keep in touch with 'Letter'", he used "Spirit World Shuttle" to leave.
Klein naturally did not dare to stay for a long time, even though he had obtained a semi-official status from the "Mechanical Heart" with the endorsement of Detective Essinger, but the matter involved the awakening of the "Original Witch" and the "True Creator" When the two highest-level cases came, he would inevitably accept strict investigations, for example, taking turns to taste black tea with the "Mechanical Heart", the Punisher, and the Nighthawks, and actively or passively recount the entire process.
And his identity cannot withstand serious scrutiny...
Soon, Klein mixed into a nearby town, changed his appearance, and lived in a small hotel.
Then, he set up a ceremony in the room with the curtains drawn, and brought "Squirming Hunger" above the gray mist, ready to conduct research.
In the silent ancient palace, just as Klein was about to divination on the thin glove made of human skin, he saw one of the crimson stars floating quietly in the endless gray mist suddenly glow. , spreading light like water!
It expands and shrinks, shrinks and expands, and it is very conspicuous.
And this is a crimson "star" that does not belong to any member of the Tarot Society, nor does it belong to his "Familiar".
Which reckless guy has recited the honorable name of "The Fool"? While thinking in Klein's mind, he spread his spirituality over, but didn't respond, just browsed.
With Klein's spiritual touch, the ever-expanding and shrinking crimson "star" revealed the pictures and sounds it contained:
A lady dressed as a man in a shirt and vest is praying with her hands clasped.
Lina? She wants to sacrifice a "blasphemy card" and beg me to protect Edsaac?
This...
Klein was a little embarrassed at first, but suddenly remembered the battle process that Mr. Azik had just talked about: a demigod suspected of the Loen royal family encountered a backlash when he "cursed" Mr. Azik, and there was a high probability that he fell due to this. !
The demigod who fought with Ince Zangwill at that time was the "Goddess Eye" of the Church of Evernight...
"The fall of a demigod of the royal family, the faction inside Loen that cooperates with the Aurora Society and the Witch Sect will definitely not be able to suppress it... After all, this is what the 'Eye of the Goddess' witnessed!
"So, this relieved the pressure on Edsaac... After all, he can't bear such a big blame! The church can accept him colluding with the witch, but it will never believe that he can command a half God serves him~IndoMTL.com~So, the fallen demigod is the best candidate to take the blame. For the prince... really running away seems to be able to divert the attention of the church...Of course, the premise is that the prince Your Highness doesn't know much about the inside story..."
Thinking of this, Klein tried a few times of divination, and after getting the conclusion that the person sent by the royal family to deal with the prince was not a high-sequence person, but not a high-level danger, he was going to ask Mr. "Tower" to see if he could Find a task next.
I hope there is still time... Klein sighed, he actually has a good impression of Prince Edsaac, and Lina and Xiao Ke have helped him do a lot of things before, so I still hope to save Prince Edsac. The opponent's.
Of course, the most important thing is that the faction in the royal family that colluded with the cult and caused a lot of casualties cannot be allowed to succeed!
But when he was thinking and touching the crimson "star" belonging to the "tower" with his spirituality, he found that it seemed to be isolated by a layer of fog, and it was impossible to communicate with the spirit of Mr. "tower".
"What's going on?!"
