v2 Chapter 672: Hunger who dare not squirm

Inside the tanning house of Red Rose Manor in the outskirts of Backlund Queens.

Prince Edsack was telling his childhood friends about his experience in a cathartic manner. Finally, he sighed and squeezed out a smile and said:

"Leyland...No, I should call you Lina. It's a great honor for you to listen to my confession patiently... After all, it shows that I am not a failure in life... I still have friends.

"However, you should go now... the person from the royal family to supervise my ‘death sentence’ should be coming soon...

"And I can get time to say goodbye to you, it means that Finkel really abandoned me...otherwise he would have rushed in to stop it.

"Heh... he still reads some old feelings, at least he didn't plan to do it himself, and he also reserved some time for me to escape... It's a pity that it's useless."

After listening to Edsack’s self-report, Lina finally got a full understanding of how much the friend was involved in the incident. She frowned, squeezed the "Witch" card that the other party had just given her in her hand, and interrogated:

"Are you going to just wait and die like this? Waiting for what you call the'end of the story'?"

Having said that, Lina looked straight into the other's eyes and said seriously:

"The Edsack I know is not such a person who gives up easily!

"Moreover, since you love that witch Triss, shouldn't you try to live for her?"

Prince Edsac was lost for a moment when he heard the words, then smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's a pity that this matter is too much 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 sons of some ulterior transactions.

He has thoroughly understood 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 a sequence 5 or even a demigod level powerhouse. .

"But I never thought of putting my life in it! Edsack, there are some things that can only be alive if you work hard!"

After all, the experienced Lina is much more determined than the pampered prince, and she is more decisive in the event. She closed her eyes, and then had a decision in her heart, and continued, "Moreover, you and I feel the desperate situation, for some existence It's probably just a trivial matter."

"What do you want to do?" Edsack looked over in surprise and asked with wide-eyed eyes.

From Lina's tone, he guessed some of her plans.

"As you think, I need to pray for help from a hidden existence..." Lina replied, taking out various materials and arranging the ceremony.

Edsack looked at her with full complexion and said: "I don't deserve you to do this step for me..."

"During the years when I was'disappeared', you were the only one who still missed me and tried to find my friend!" Lina replied without looking up, and put the "witch" card on the "Altar" ", and then for the first time chanted the honorific name of the "god" she had proclaimed to believe in:

"Fools who do not belong to this era, you are the mysterious master above the gray mist, and you are the king of yellow and black who is in charge of good luck."

Lina had always been through Xiaoke...well, it was Shako, who came to contact Mr. Fool, but in order to save Edsac, she had to take the risk of establishing a closer connection with the mysterious being... …

Fortunately... Edsac’s "Card of Blasphemy" is a very good sacrifice, which should please Mr. Fool. Lina thought so in her heart while praying "religiously".

Hearing Lina's prayer, Edsack was worried, but there was a glimmer of hope in his heart unconsciously.

After all, with regard to the "Fool" and its "hero" organization and "Tarot" organization, Prince Edsack commissioned the great detective Sherlock Moriarty to investigate, and obtained a lot of intelligence, knowing that it was a Aurora will be a powerful force that is hostile to the "True Creator".

"Unexpectedly, my friend is the believer of the Fool...no wonder she has the ability to get rid of the control of the Witch Sect..."

...

In a forest on the outskirts of Backlund, Klein ran away after witnessing Mr. A being "erased" by a beautiful woman in a dark robe, trying to find a small town to blend in with the crowd and hide himself.

Only in human society, the ability of the "faceless man" can be brought into full play.

At the same time, he was also very upset about the woman who worked with Mr. A, uh, it should be a witch, going to the eastern district...

Judging 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 fortuneteller, suddenly felt heavy.

At this moment, all the colors in front of him became rich, as if being splashed with oil by the gods.

This feeling was fleeting, Klein realized that he had moved far away from where he was originally, and saw Azik Eggers with a bronze complexion and soft facial features appear next to him.

He quickly asked the other party about the results of the previous demigod melee, and was concerned about whether Mr. Azik was injured as a result.

Azik smiled and shook his head, then briefly recounted the battle, and finally said: "Ince Zangwill is still alive, still in charge of the '0'-level sealed object... and he is still alive. There may also be an object that can hide itself in all directions... at least I can no longer detect his location."

It should be the "Fallen Morning Star"...I lost it... Klein thought heavily, and then introduced Mr. Ards to the power of the magical item created by Roselle.

"I seem to have heard of this item..." Mr. Azik frowned, recalled for a moment, and continued, "It should be famous in the Extraordinary circle. I vaguely remember that someone relied on it to escape. Followed by the angels of the Augustus family."

"Evasive of the angels?" Klein didn't expect that the item would have such an "experience". He felt a little guilty for a while. After all, it was Mr. Tower's thing. The greater the value, the greater his "debt". so big.

Mr. Azik did not say much about "Fallen Morning Star", instead he talked about the functions and limitations of "0-08". Although Klein had already known about these, he still got it from Mr. Azik. evidence.

Klein originally wanted to ask about Viscount Karen, but Mr. Azik himself seemed to have been spotted by a strong man from the Dark Night Church, so he could not stay for too long and could only hurry up and say:

"Mr. Azik, I have obtained a'Card of Desecration' made by Emperor Roselle, which contains high-sequence secrets. I think it can help you wake up more things, but you have to wait for a while. It is hidden in Backlund."

Klein wanted to thank Mr. Azik for his help and dedication in this way. As for inquiring about Karen, he could write to the inquiry after he settled down.

Azik glanced at him in surprise, but in the end he said nothing, and nodded lightly:

"When you get it back, let the messenger bring it to me, and I will return it to you immediately after I research, or you can copy the corresponding content directly to me."

He paused, and didn't seem to want to accept such a gift for nothing, even if he knew that the other party was grateful for his help...

So after thinking for a while, Azik took out a glove made of human skin from his pocket and handed it to Klein:

"This is the relic of the pirate general last time. I have made some seals so that it will not be hungry, but every time it is used, it must be fed with a human flesh and soul, otherwise, it will devour you.

"I can't use it anyway, but it's more suitable for you to hold it more self-defense.

"Don't refuse, it has already been rejected by Detective Bryan...you can't and don't look down on it, do you?"

... "Squirting hunger"? From the legacy of a certain "shepherd" after his death? Klein immediately recalled what the glove represented.

But... Detective Bryan? Do Mr. Azik and Mr. "Tower" also know each other? And listening to his tone, it seems that I know Detective Brian and I know each other?

Just as Klein wanted to ask something, Mr. Koazk suddenly glanced to the northwest, and after putting down the sentence "Keep in touch with the letter", he used the "Spirit World Shuttle" to leave.

Klein naturally did not dare to stay for a long time, even if he had obtained the semi-official status through the endorsement of Detective Isengard from "Machine Heart", but the "primordial witch" was awakened and the "true creator" came to two pieces. For the highest-level cases, he will inevitably undergo rigorous investigations. For example, he will take turns to taste black tea from the "Machine Heart", the punisher, and the night watcher, and retell the entire process either actively or passively.

And his identity cannot stand serious scrutiny...

Soon, Klein mixed into a nearby town and changed his appearance to live in a small hotel.

Then, he set up a ritual in the room where the curtains were drawn, and brought "creeping hunger" into the gray mist, preparing to conduct research.

In the silent ancient palace, Klein just wanted to conduct divination on the thin glove made of human skin, when he saw that among the deep red stars quietly suspended in the endless gray mist, one of them suddenly brightened and spread out. Light like water!

It swells and shrinks, shrinks and swells, it is very conspicuous.

And this is the crimson "star" that does not belong to any member of the Tarot Society, nor does it belong to his "favorite".

Which daring guy chanted the honorific name of "The Fool"? While thinking in his heart, Klein spread his spirituality, but he didn't respond, just browsed.

With Klein’s spiritual touch, the crimson “stars” that continuously expand and contract show the pictures and sounds it contains:

A lady dressed as a man dressed in a shirt and a vest is praying with her hands clasped together.

Lina? She wants to sacrifice a "Card of Blasphemy~lightnovelpub.net~ pray for me to protect Edsac?

This……

Klein was a bit embarrassed at first, but suddenly remembered the battle that Mr. Azik had just talked about: a demigod who was suspected of being the Royal Family of Ruen suffered a backlash when he "cursed" Mr. Azik, and it was very likely that he would fall!

And the demigod who was fighting Ince Zangwill at the time was the "eye of the goddess" of the Church of Dark Night...

"The fall of a royal demigod, the faction that cooperates with the Aurora Society, and the Witch Sect in Ruen absolutely cannot be suppressed... After all, this was witnessed by the'Goddess Eye'!

"So, this reduces the pressure on Edsac's side... After all, he can't bear such a big pot! The church can accept his collusion with the witch, but it will never believe that he can command a demigod for him. Efficacious.

"Therefore, that fallen demigod is the best candidate to carry the scapegoat. The words of the prince... really escape seems to be able to divert the attention of the church... Of course, the premise is that the prince doesn't know much about it... "

Thinking of this, Klein tried a few times for divination, and after getting the conclusion that the person sent by the royal family to deal with the prince was not in high order, but the degree of danger was not high, he planned to ask Mr. Tower to see if he could take it Tasks.

I hope it's still too late... Klein sighed. In fact, he had a good impression of Prince Edsac, and Lina and Xiaoke had helped him with a lot of things before, so they still hoped to save each other.

Of course, the more important thing is not to allow the faction in the royal family that colluded with the cult and caused a lot of casualties to succeed!

But while he was thinking and touching the crimson "star" belonging to the "tower" spiritually, he found that it seemed to be isolated by a layer of mist, and it was impossible to communicate with the spirit of Mr. "tower" at all.

"How is this going?!"
