Chapter 77 The Death of Mason Dill
Your Majesty... Hearing Viscount Stratford's answer, Xio was a little dazed for a moment, full of doubts in his heart.
It was hard for her to understand that Xueman deliberately approached the chief of the palace guard just to investigate who the other party was loyal to. This didn't seem to be a very important or valuable thing.
Viscount Stratford's answer was even more orthodox, and he couldn't find any problems.
Just to get such an answer, Xueman gave her life? Xio originally wanted to ask Sherman about the purpose of investigating that trivial matter, but in the blink of an eye, he wondered whether this would touch the core information too quickly, causing Viscount Stratford, who had not yet fully entered the "state", to resist, and temporarily Resisted the urge.
She pondered for a moment, then asked:
"Do you know Mason Dill?"
"I know." Viscount Stratford replied dully.
Hugh Dilchar goes on to ask simpler and less important questions:
"Who is he?"
"He is the former head of the palace guard." Viscount Stratford only answered the question without extending it too much.
At this time, Forsi didn't listen to the "Mind Reading" which was in the superficial stage, and took out the pure crystal ball and put it in Xio's pocket.
After transferring the items, she bent down again, carefully trying to pick up the copper-green cross.
This time, while her fingers trembled slightly, the soul-burning feeling did not come through the touch, allowing her to easily pick up the object with several spikes.
Sure enough, this cross will reject all mystical items other than it, and will not allow them to exist... Well, I still have the remnant spirituality of the "moon paper man" and the ancient wraith, but it does not respond... This shows that it does not Rejecting things that don't contain Extraordinary characteristics, and not contradicting spirituality and power? If this is the case, will it also reject the Extraordinary characteristics in my body, but it will not be so obvious... This is its other negative effect, and it will take a certain amount of time to appear? Forsi had a general judgment on the copper-green quaint cross, and put it vigilantly into the dark bag containing various ritual materials.
After finishing this task, Fors looked down at the silver bracelet on her wrist, and confirmed that it was empty and no decorations were hanging on it.
Her five "teleportation" stones have all been used up so far.
However, Forsi was not as panicked as before. Although she was sure that with the consumption of stones, the "full moon babble" would become clearer and more terrifying, but she also knew that with Mister Fool's Help, this is not a problem. In the past year or so, if she hadn't had to go above the gray mist for a short period of time every time there was a full moon or a blood moon, she would have almost forgotten that she was still suffering from the "full moon raving".
I hope that one day, this curse will disappear completely... After withdrawing her gaze from the gradually dimming silver bracelet, Forsi couldn't help sighing.
She immediately thanked Mister Fool sincerely in her heart:
"...No matter what his real purpose is, at least he has saved me time and time again, not only on the 'full moon raving'...
"The level of this cross seems not low. I don't know if Mister Fool will be interested and willing to accept my sacrifice... I didn't have good items and information before, so I couldn't repay that kind of kindness. Now I finally see it. It's possible...
"Uh... this is a common spoil of war, I only own half of it, I don't know if Mister Fool is willing to accept a sacrifice with only half ownership... No, Hugh was also saved by Mister Fool...
"Hey, maybe it can please Mr. Fool... If he is satisfied, he may send down a few extraordinary abilities and let me record them in the 'Leymanor's Travel Notes', no, 'Leymanor's Travels' "Notes" definitely cannot record the abilities of the gods, and it is difficult to carry the power of Mister Fool... Well, the abilities of His angels are also fine, no, no, no, don't be too greedy, even if you can ask Mister "World" to copy a few abilities, I am also very satisfied..."
Fors thought divergently,
And made a dream-like expectation.
This is the instinct of a best-selling novelist.
As for why she didn't expect anything else, only the records of extraordinary abilities, it was because today she deeply realized the importance and horror of extraordinary abilities at the demigod level.
If the "tornado" hadn't been transcribed in "Leymano's Travel Notes", she and Xio would have no chance of catching Viscount Stratford tonight, and they might not even be able to escape successfully.
——Even without counting the copper-green cross, Viscount Stratford himself is quite a powerful Extraordinary. If he hadn't been injured by the "tornado" at the beginning and fell dizzy, the two of them would probably not be able to sneak attack The expected effect is highly likely to be counterattacked.
Of course, separating the terrifying "Glorious Cross" from the Viscount Stratford was the key to the outcome of the short battle tonight, and this was also due to the "tornado".
"Thinking about it carefully, in a less urgent environment, on the premise of eliminating the copper-green cross and the demigod-level abilities of the travel notes, it's not impossible for Xio and I to join hands to deal with Viscount Stratford. even hopeful...
"The various and reasonable combinations of extraordinary abilities in the travel notes are really strong, coupled with Hugh's 'spiritual piercing' ability, the supplement of the 'cold blade' effect, and the involvement of frontal battles, if Viscount Stratford Without special magical items, losing is a reasonable ending...
"A 'Recorder' who is rich in experience and still alive is so strong..." The more Forsi thought about it, the weirder she felt.
That is, it seems that I may have become a little powerful!
When she dealt with the ancient wraith, she already had some similar cognitions, but after suffering from the strange pollution, she was only afraid of the whole thing, and didn't think about it further. When punishing Ernes Boyar, the blood viscount, she and Xio didn't participate in specific battles, so naturally they wouldn't measure their own strength based on this.
But this time, their enemy, Viscount Stratford, is the chief bodyguard of the royal family of Loen. He has at least Sequence 6, with a high probability of Sequence 5, and he is in charge of a demigod-level item. His level of strength is quite clear. Ersi can use this to locate her "class" in the extraordinary world - although the reason for their victory is more due to sneak attacks, the possibility of successful sneak attacks is also a manifestation of strength in itself.
I am already a "Recorder". After transcribing and matching abilities, adding "Leymano's Travel Notes" is almost equivalent to a strong Sequence 5... The only problem is that I still lack experience... Foer While feeling emotional, Si turned his attention to Hugh and Viscount Stratford, and continued to listen to their Q&A.
At this time, Hugh's question has entered the more core area that is prone to resistance:
"What did Mason Dill die from?"
After asking this question, Xio's emotions suddenly became extremely complicated, with expectations, apprehension, excitement, and fear.
This is the question she wanted to ask eight years ago. During these nearly three thousand days and nights, she has been searching for the answer all the time, but she is afraid that the answer is not what she wants, and she is afraid that her father did participate in the rebellion, so she was arrested. Put to death, no reputation at all.
Viscount Stratford didn't immediately answer Hugh's question, and seemed to struggle before saying:
"He discovered His Majesty's secret and tried to inform the three churches but failed and was executed on the spot."
Xio stayed for a few seconds, and finally confirmed that he had the answer.
Although this answer frightened her, it made her heart fall back to its original position and settle down.
"Secret...His Majesty's secret..." She whispered to herself and asked urgently:
"What's the secret?"
Fors next to her was also almost stunned, she didn't expect things to develop to this extent.
At this time, Viscount Stratford's facial muscles were obviously distorted, and he managed to spit out a few words:
"The secret is..."
Suddenly, his body trembled violently, and his bewildered eyes suddenly recovered.
Immediately afterwards, he disintegrated from the tiniest structure, and collapsed into a ball of "fireworks" in an instant.
The bloody "firework" shot straight into the sky, exploded with a bang, lit up the night, and entered the eyes of Forsi and Xio.
This... With the previous experience, Forsi's eyes lagged behind, and without further wording, she immediately squatted down and grabbed Xueman's body and Xio's calf respectively.
Their figures quickly became transparent, disappeared in place, and "teleported" to the south area of the bridge.
…………
Above the gray fog, Klein holding the "Scepter of the Sea God" also saw the "firework" that dyed the sky red.
When Forsi prayed to him before, he happened to be observing the actions of Qonas Kilgor in this majestic palace, so he accommodated the "Red Priest" card, took the paper figurine he cut, and mobilized the power of the mysterious space, gave a response.
During this process, he discovered that the person lying next to the "Magician" and Miss "Judgment" turned out to be Viscount Stratford.
——This is a target he focused on. Although he didn't personally investigate, he knew that the other party had a problem, and knew that the witch Triss was targeting this person. Therefore, at a dance, he remembered the corresponding appearance and characteristics.
Klein didn't know what the two members of the Tarot Society wanted to do, but since Viscount Stratford was involved, he certainly would not ignore the importance, and directly observed the "magician" and Miss "Judgment"'s follow-up encounter.
——After being promoted to a demigod and gaining more authority here, Klein can directly check the situation in a certain area around the opponent through the corresponding crimson stars without the need for members of the Tarot Society to pray. This is similar to specially marked believers. However, Klein is very restrained about this and has never tried it before.
This allowed him to hear the conversation between Hugh and Viscount Stratford.
And knowing the inside story, he is very clear about the true meaning and weight of the "whose allegiance" question.
Combined with the fact that Mason Dill, the former head of the palace guard, discovered the king's secret and tried to notify the failure of the three major churches, Klein already had some guesses about the answer:
He suspects that the biggest culprit of the Great Smog Incident in Backlund is the King of Loen Kingdom, George III!
