Chapter 12 White Blood
Late at night, almost all the places in [City of Saints] turned off the lights.
Although [City of Saints] is not closed late at night, there are no entertainment venues that make people corrupt... There is no such thing in the entire Holy Light World.
Although it is human nature to stay up late, in the Kingdom of Holy Light I have only heard of people staying up late praying, but not of staying up late having fun.
"Let's have fun together!"
A drunk man who looked like a homeless man and was carrying a large bottle of wine in one hand suddenly appeared... in the quiet street.
The drunkard was dancing and seemed to have forgotten who he was and what he was doing...doing things that should not be done in the Kingdom of Holy Light.
At the same time, there were three people who looked on coldly at the drunkard's behavior.
The young man in white, the Angel Langdu who had his mouth cut off as a punishment, and another female angel.
Although he was punished with his mouth confiscated, it was only during his stay in the Kingdom of Holy Light... After Angel Langdu calmed down, he realized that he had said too much, so he did not complain at all about the punishment.
But he is essentially an extreme Lightist.
The appearance of drunkards and their disqualifying behaviors are like heretics in the eyes of Angel Langdu... Heretics need to be purified.
The holy light flame of judgment is already burning in the palm of the Langdu Angel...just waiting for a signal from the young man in white.
"He's a little strange." The young man in white said calmly at this time: "Let's investigate."
"yes."
The female angel responded quickly, and Angel Langdu also withdrew the flame of the holy light at this time... Angel Langdu took action and knocked the drunkard unconscious in an instant.
The young man in white said again: "Just wait here for me."
With that said, the young man in white walked along a stone staircase and slowly waited for a building on the slope... a place called [Rose Mansion].
Angel Langdu frowned at this time and glanced at the female angel beside him, "Sir, I still care about that saint's affairs."
His mouth is still silent, this is the sound of spiritual resonance.
"You are still muting words, Langdu." The female angel said calmly.
"I know!" Angel Langdu's voice vibrated again, "But, sir, there is really no need for this!"
"Let's see what's going on with this guy." The female angel shook her head and changed the topic, "Open his destiny system and check his records."
Angels who are granted access to the Kingdom of Holy Light have the authority to open the Destiny System and view it at will.
…
At the end of the climb up the stairs, the first thing the young man in white saw was the dilapidated signboard that even had marks of being bitten by moths.
The door of [Rose Mansion] was ajar at this time, and the light of lights came from the lobby.
But with the hearing of the young man in white, he could not hear a single sound in [Rose Mansion]... not even the sound of breathing.
The door was ajar and the lights were on, but no one was in the mansion, which seemed a bit strange.
The young man in white frowned and walked directly into the [Rose Mansion]... In this Kingdom of Holy Light, he did not need to be taboo or careful about anything.
Nothing here will cause any harm to him.
It's just that when he was walking in [Rose Mansion], he didn't see anyone...but there were obvious traces of life here, and there was even tea and some leftover food.
All this proves that at least a few hours ago, there were still people here... who just left in a hurry?
But in a hurry, the door was not even closed. It was more like disappearing suddenly... Moreover, there were even several people who disappeared.
The young man in white clothes was walking in the corridor of the mansion with his hands behind his hands, and suddenly stopped.
A landscape painting caught his eye... His eyes naturally saw the signature on the painting.
Jacques Dacre.
He remembered the man's name.
This is the name of the saint's father, and it is also the kingdom of holy light that he personally brought this man from a certain sub-world.
This Jacques Dacre is the most pious one among many and has this qualification.
"Things have changed and people have changed."
The young man in white was dazed for a moment... He quickly moved his eyes away from the landscape painting. He continued walking inside the mansion, but in the end he failed to find anything.
He didn't touch anything in the mansion, even the ajar door remained in its original appearance.
He returned to where the two angels were waiting.
I saw some strange colors on the faces of the two angels... The young man in white thought for a while and then asked directly: "Did you find anything?"
Angel Langdu couldn't speak, and he didn't dare to use his mental power to resonate in front of the young man in white. He could only look at the female angel beside him.
The female angel looked solemn at this time and softly uttered two words: "Poison."
The young man in white frowned and looked straight at the unconscious drunk man with a piercing gaze. He saw that the drunk man's face was red and he was sweating profusely.
"Why does his body temperature rise?" The young man in white asked doubtfully.
The female angel shook her head, showing doubts: "I don't know, but he was not like this just now."
At this moment, the drunk man's body began to twitch crazily. Within a few seconds, the drunk man's body suddenly caught fire.
Spontaneous combustion!
…
…
…
…
Mr. Asaches, Livar, and Boss Luo's three-person action team are still searching for possible "third parties" and missing landscape paintings within the scope of the mansion.
They had moved from the courtyard into the interior of the mansion, opening rooms one after another for a closer look.
Just eye contact and a shake of the head.
suddenly.
Livar looked at Asaches and asked: "Speaking of which, this transformation is a landscape painting made by your ancestor, Mr. Asaches... Do you know where the landscape painting is? Maybe it can be the landscape painting we are currently in." Where is the reference?”
Asaxes thought for a moment and said, "I heard that this is the scenery of my hometown that my ancestors drew based on their memories."
"Hometown?" Livar frowned subconsciously, "Isn't it the hometown of your ancestors..."
His expression suddenly became serious. This was a landscape painting of the hometown of the [Father of the Saint], which meant that this was also the hometown of the [Saint].
But the birthplace of [Saint] has always been a secret. [Saint] has also publicly said that no one is allowed to find out the information about this birthplace.
Therefore, no one in the entire [City of Saints] knows where the hometown of [Saint] is. In fact, not only the [Saint] in [City of Saints], but also the other seven similar existences, it is impossible to find out their hometowns. Of… there isn’t even any record.
If this landscape painting is really the hometown of [Saint], it means that the landscape painting is likely to be from the Kingdom of Holy Light...at least in [City of Saints], the only important data that records this information.
"You actually hung such an important thing in the corridor casually?" Livar even looked at Mr. Asaches in disbelief.
Asaches shrugged and said: "Many people took photos when they moved in before. Livar, this is an income-generating project, and the income is very considerable. If I seal it up, it will not be able to create anything for me." A little bit of wish power, and I have never met this ancestor, so it can’t even give me memories?”
This guy Livar probably wanted to roll his eyes, but his upbringing was too good, so his face was paralyzed.
He shook his head, "If the painting records the hometown of [the Saint], that would be very troublesome. This means that we really know nothing about the place outside the mansion."
At this moment, Asaxes suddenly looked at Boss Xiang Luo and said, "Mr. Luo, you are a traveler from Qidu. Have you ever been here before... or heard of a place similar to this place?"
Livar looked at the quiet young man with some curiosity.
He speaks very little, but when he takes the initiative to speak, he is always able to make himself the center of attention... and even listen to what he has to say without even realizing it.
But when he doesn't speak, it's easy for people to ignore his presence.
As for the travelers from the Seven Capitals mentioned by Asaxes, they actually generally refer to those guys who do not permanently live in a certain Seven Capitals. To do this, you first need to have a divine familiarity level that meets the admission requirements of all Seven Capitals. condition.
Because the relationship between wishes can be generated through prayer, theoretically, humans in the Kingdom of Holy Light can travel throughout their lives... because they will not starve to death.
Boss Luo smiled slightly at this time and said: "When I traveled before, I read in a ruins that the hometown of [Saint] seems to be a village called [Dongremi], but I have never been to this village. "
"[Dongremi]?" Livar looked confused, secretly wrote down the name of the village, and then said: "Ruins? What kind of ruins are they, and where is their approximate location."
Boss Luo blinked and said: "Sorry, I don't know the specific location. Because it was a very wonderful sea drift, and the ocean current took me to a magical island, where the entire island seemed to be Alive... But later I discovered that this was probably just a dream, because I couldn’t find this place later.”
"In this way..." Livar nodded, "This is really a pity. After all, this may be an extremely important discovery."
This involves the basic concept of trust between people in the Kingdom of Holy Light.
Human beings in the Kingdom of Holy Light will not be subconsciously defensive against strangers. They basically adopt a trusting attitude when it comes to speaking... because this is a country without lies or deception.
"Sounds like a really romantic adventure story." Asaches said with great yearning at this time: "I also want to be such a traveler, if it weren't for protecting the [Rose Mansion] left by my ancestors, the Kingdom of Holy Light It’s so big, I want to go out and have a look, and have a fantasy life story like yours.”
Livar said: "Mr. Luo, in addition to the name of the village, did you find any more records about the village in the ruins? Perhaps you still have memories of them?"
Boss Luo thought for a while and said: "There is a farm. The saint in [Free City] seems to have been born as the farmer's daughter."
"Farm." Livar nodded, and then said: "As soon as it gets dark, we might try to find if there is a farm nearby. The first time Mr. Asaches and I went out, we saw lights in the distance. , so there must be someone else outside."
Asaxes said: "We have basically searched all the places we can search, and no one has been found... Assuming that this [third party] really exists, I am afraid that he has already left the mansion at this time, and there is little point in us continuing to search. , let’s go back to the lobby to join Clary and the others, and I’ll also see if Ludick wakes up.”
…
When the action team returned to the lobby.
At first sight, Asaxes saw the woman who was very majestic to him. At this time, she raised the cup and looked at it under the light.
The cup contains red liquid.
"Red wine?" Asaches said slightly surprised: "Is there any red wine in the mansion?"
Nan Xiaonan couldn't help but smell the aura of extreme poverty from the mansion owner's questions... But Clary quickly walked up to Asaches, tugged at the corner of his clothes, and then whispered in his ear Fu Er said something.
"What... blood?" Azaches's face suddenly changed slightly, and he looked in the direction of the maid lady in surprise.
But this did not interrupt the maid's observation of the liquid in the cup.
At this moment, Ludick and the male assistant of the city lord Durand were covered with blankets, and they looked like they were just sleeping... Asaxes took a deep breath, and removed the scene that Clary just quietly described from his mind. He swung out and resisted the urge to lift the blanket and take a look.
"We have searched carefully and found nothing suspicious." Asaches took a deep breath: "In other words, we are safe for the time being. This is the good news among all the misfortunes."
Livar nodded, "Let's plan our rest time next. We need to take turns to watch the night. We can't all sleep too hard... The time displayed on my phone now is 3:12 in the morning. Three hours later, if If it's not bright outside, we need to recalculate the time outside. Everyone, please rest first. I will be the first to keep vigil. In one hour, Mr. Azashes will take over from me."
"Okay." Asaches nodded.
the other side.
Luo Qiu came to the maid, and was very interested in what interesting things You Ye could tell him... There were two cups in front of the maid, both filled with blood. They were obviously Ludick and the male assistant. of blood.
"Master, look."
The maid suddenly whispered, and then used a bartending technique to put some strong liquor on the cup filled with blood... and set it on fire.
The flames rose but soon disappeared, seemingly for the sole purpose of heating.
After a short period of heating, the blood in the cup actually underwent some strange changes... The bright red blood in the cup gradually turned into a milky white color.
"Why is this happening?" Boss Luo asked curiously.
The maid shook her head: "I can't know for the time being, but if heating causes changes in the blood, I would assume that if the problem of oxidation in the air is not considered, when the body temperature rises, it may be in the human body. There will be similar changes.”
"White blood?"
Boss Luo took the cup from the maid's hand, lightly slapped the rim of the cup with his palm, shook his head and said, "There is no smell of blood anymore."
