Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery
#162 - The Conspiracy of the Loen Royal Family
Audis's counter-charge caught "Pyromaniac" and the others somewhat off guard.
If they had known this guy had such guts, actually daring to counter-charge a Sequence 6, they should have attacked earlier, injuring both of them.
But for "Pyromaniac" and the others, it was now too late to fight on two fronts, and they could only try to break through as quickly as possible.
This gave Hugh and Audis a chance. With the assist of the silver axe, Audis's "Witchcraft" successfully hit "Pyromaniac", forming a layer of rust-colored mucus on his body surface.
"Pyromaniac" immediately felt stiffness in all his joints, and every movement became slow and laborious.
Whoosh~
He immediately summoned flames, burning on the skin around his body.
Besides burning his clothes, it also burned those mucus.
But Audis continued to attack. He sprinkled a handful of blue powder, and the air was immediately filled with icy gales, even dimming the flames summoned by "Pyromaniac".
The icy gales eventually swept towards one of "Pyromaniac's" legs, freezing it and completely eliminating "Pyromaniac's" chance of escape.
The "Psychic" was still hesitating whether to come back to rescue him, but after seeing "Pyromaniac" being hit one blow after another, he quickly abandoned "Pyromaniac" and followed closely behind "Schemer", striving to break through.
On the other side, Audis and Hugh caught up with "Pyromaniac", and Hugh took out a blue axe and threw it at "Pyromaniac".
"Pyromaniac" quickly summoned a "Blazing White Spear" to nail the axe in the distance.
The "Ice Bomb" exploded, but the resulting ice did not affect "Pyromaniac".
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Audis quickly approached and sprinkled a handful of black powder. This powder instantly condensed in the air, forming seven small javelins, and stabbed towards "Pyromaniac".
"Pyromaniac" immediately summoned "Fire Crows" to block, and after the "Fire Crows" touched the "Javelins", they immediately ignited those metallic javelins and stopped the momentum of the javelins.
But Audis sprinkled another handful of powder from behind, and the seven javelins burning with flames seemed to have received a huge boost again, dragging the fire and piercing towards "Pyromaniac".
"Pyromaniac" quickly summoned a "Fire Wall" to block, but it was too late. All seven javelins pierced into his body, some pierced his head, some pierced his heart, and the other five pierced his chest and abdomen.
"Pyromaniac" grabbed the javelins with both hands burning with flames, trying to pull them out of his body.
But his body could no longer hold on and he fell to the ground.
When "Pyromaniac" twitched, those javelins turned back into black powder.
Audis dragged "Pyromaniac's" hair: "Let's go, let's join Fors first."
At this time, "Pyromaniac" was still burning with flames, but these flames could not harm "Pyromaniac's" body for the time being.
Gunshots came from the edge of the park, and the "Schemer" and "Psychic" began their breakout.
Audis didn't intend to get involved, he wanted to get the spoils of war so far first.
… …
At the same time, in the western suburbs of Backlund.
Whoosh~
In a deserted forest, a flame suddenly ignited, and then the flame grew larger, and three figures walked out of the flame one after another.
The flames then disappeared, and the surroundings became dark again.
The three people identified the direction and quickly ran towards a hill.
Suddenly, a female voice came from the front: "The appearance of flames is prohibited here."
The leader walking in the front raised his hand, and suddenly, flames ignited around him.
But these flames were affected by unknown reasons, and the burning momentum was not too strong.
The leader clenched his fists and let out an angry roar, and the flames on his body suddenly became violent.
Whoosh~
A fire also ignited in the surrounding woods. These flames seemed to be burning something, gradually becoming larger and larger. Finally, the "prohibition" was "burned down".
At this time, the female voice said again: "This place is a forest area, and arsonists should be punished!"
Behind the leader who was burning with flames, strips of illusory leather whips with caltrops appeared, whipping the leader's back, immediately causing his skin to split open.
The leader didn't seem to feel any pain. While being whipped, he smiled and said: "Georgiana, when did your 'Decree' become as weak as tickling?
"Is it because our sudden appearance here has made you panic?"
After the whip was finished, the wound on the leader's back was so deep that the bone could be seen, but when a burst of flames burned over, the leader's back was miraculously intact.
Not far in front, a female figure wearing an evening dress appeared, it was the demigod Georgiana Augustus of the Loen royal family.
She smiled and said: "Chikov, haven't you noticed that you have fallen into our ambush?"
The leader named Chikov smiled and said: "No, no, no, you have completely misunderstood the situation.
"Whether our actions are successful or not, they prove that there is a problem with the hill in front.
"Let me guess, there must be an important building secretly built by you hidden there, otherwise you wouldn't have set up an ambush here."
Chikov is one of the deputy directors of the Falsac Empire's "Berkner Intelligence Agency". Last month, the spy organization built by "Berkner" in Backlund bought a piece of information that was not very expensive from an informant of a "Punisher" as usual.
After this piece of information was passed back to the headquarters, it immediately attracted the attention of the director.
Chikov only learned at a secret meeting that the information contained important information. The missing vagrants they had previously issued a task to find in Backlund were secretly sent near this hill.
The director analyzed that there should be an important building secretly built by George III here, and a big conspiracy being brewed by the Kingdom of Loen.
So Chikov was sent to Backlund to confirm whether there was an important building near this hill.
After arriving in Backlund for a period of time, Chikov planned an attack on Hugh, using this attack to attract the attention of "MI9", while he personally led people to investigate near this hill.
If their investigation goes smoothly, then they can determine whether there is that important building here.
But if they fall into an ambush, it means that there is definitely a problem here, and that important building is likely to be nearby.
Otherwise, the Kingdom of Loen might set up an ambush in the city, or they might search for Chikov throughout the city, but it is impossible to set up an ambush in this wilderness.
In other words, if there is no problem with this hill, the Loen royal family does not know Chikov's target and cannot ambush here in advance.
Chikov intends to use his life as a bet to complete the task.
Georgiana, wearing an evening dress, suddenly smiled and said: "You can search to your heart's content, search as you please, because this is just an ordinary hill."
Chikov sneered: "Then may I ask, what are several demigods of the Loen royal family doing on this 'ordinary hill' so late?
"Of course, we are here to wait for you!" Georgiana smiled and said: "When we learned that you were looking for people from Backlund to investigate the missing vagrants, we understood your intention."
It was nothing more than wanting to know the approximate location of King George III's mausoleum based on the whereabouts of those vagrants.
Of course, the news of the mausoleum is very high-level, and even Chikov doesn't know what those "important buildings" represent.
"So we used the 'Punisher' informant to release a piece of information." Georgiana patiently explained: "We are waiting for you to verify it.
"When we learned that you were going to attack that 'MI9' informant named Hugh Dilcha, we guessed that your action was about to begin.
"So we waited for you here early and then eliminated you here.
"This way, your superiors will think that there must be a problem with this hill.
"At a critical moment, they will attack this hill, and then they will find that there is nothing here.
"And we have already taken this opportunity to complete the plan…"
The more Chikov listened, the more frightened he became. He didn't expect that all of this was a trap set by the Loen people.
He realized that he must break through and take the news back.
Chikov couldn't care about the two subordinates at this time, and immediately turned into a ball of flame and flew away at the fastest speed.
Georgiana slowly put a crown made of thorns on her head, and then a mass of pure light appeared in the crown, eventually converging into an "ocean of light".
Georgiana held a blazing white spear in her hand. She threw it gently, and the spear flew out at a speed much faster than Chikov, nailing the deputy director of "Berkner", this "Iron-Blooded Knight", to the ground.
Chikov shouted, trying to burn the blazing white spear with flames, but it was useless at all. The crown on Georgiana's head was a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact controlled by the Loen royal family.
The "Darkless Spear" thrown by Georgiana was at the level of an angel. As a Sequence 4, Chikov certainly couldn't escape.
Bang~
As the "Darkless Spear" exploded, Chikov was also blown to pieces.
Georgiana immediately stepped forward, raised her hands high, and made a posture of embracing the sun. A huge pillar of light descended, purifying the spirit body of this "Iron-Blooded Knight" amid Chikov's screams.
Five or six seconds later, the spirit body of this demigod shattered and completely disappeared from this world.
Afterwards, Georgiana went to purify the spirit bodies of Chikov's two subordinates, but she was still not at ease and eliminated all the surrounding natural spirits before taking off the crown on her head.
Several Loen demigods left one after another. After the place became dark and silent again, an illusory figure emerged on the hill.
That was Bernadette, who had been paying attention to this matter all along. She had many secret techniques to hide herself, and the demigods of the Loen Royal Family did not discover her.
She glanced from afar at the place that had just been scorched by the intense light. With a wave of her hand, a pair of illusory wings appeared behind Bernadette and enveloped her.
In the blink of an eye, the wings dissipated, and Bernadette disappeared.
…
A park near Tuthill Street.
Audrey and Xio brought the corpse of the "Pyromaniac" to the entrance of the park. Fors had already killed the enemy who had been injured by the wooden thorns and Xio's pistol with a metal crossbow in hand.
Audrey placed the "Pyromaniac" and the corpses of his four subordinates together, waiting for the extraordinary characteristics to be extracted.
Several extraordinary characteristics began to be extracted one after another. At this moment, the people from 'Military Intelligence 9' also searched over.
When they saw the extraordinary characteristics on the ground and Audrey and the other two, they immediately wanted to arrest the three of them.
Audrey said, "Let your action team captain or section chief come."
These few members of 'Military Intelligence 9' were just some 'low-sequence' extraordinaries responsible for the outer perimeter search. The reason they wanted to arrest Audrey and the other two was to seize those extraordinary characteristics so that they could claim credit after the operation was over.
Hearing Audrey say this, some of them recognized that this was actually "Leader."
Throughout the Beckland intelligence community, "Leader" had a great reputation. So, after hesitating for a moment, these few extraordinaries still faced Audrey and the other two with smiles, and two members quickly went to find their captain.
While waiting, five extraordinary characteristics were extracted one after another.
Audrey said to Xio and Fors, "Let's divide the spoils first."
"According to the contribution made in this battle, I will choose the spoils first, Xio will choose second, and Miss Fors will choose third."
Xio and Fors had no objection to this.
So Audrey took it for granted and first picked up the "Pyromaniac" extraordinary characteristic that looked like a heart.
Xio chose an extraordinary characteristic at the Sequence 8 level, and Fors chose an extraordinary characteristic at the Sequence 9 level.
In the second round of dividing the spoils, Audrey took an extraordinary characteristic at the Sequence 8 level, and Xio took the last extraordinary characteristic at the Sequence 9 level.
In fact, when Fors was choosing the spoils, she could have chosen the extraordinary characteristic at the Sequence 8 level, but she felt that she hadn't made any contribution, so she only took an extraordinary characteristic at the Sequence 9 level.
Faced with the behavior of the three people dividing the spoils, the surrounding members of 'Military Intelligence 9' could only stare blankly, and no one spoke to stop them.
This was also something that couldn't be helped. The strongest member among them was only a Sequence 8, while "Leader" and the others had killed five extraordinaries in the previous battle!
In the extraordinary world, strength is always the best guarantee of safety.
Just after the spoils were divided, the action section chief Danitz, with a smiling face, also came: "'Leader' sir, thank you for your help again, eliminating 5 enemies for Loen."
"Please hand over their relics to us, and I will definitely arrange a generous reward for you."
Audrey cursed loudly, "Which donkey kicked your brain? Did a dog promise me that it would protect Miss Xio's safety back then?"
Danitz's smile did not diminish: "If you don't hand over those relics, I will write in the report that you colluded with the enemy, destroyed our encirclement, and caused important enemies to escape."
Although the conversation between the two people did not seem to be talking about one issue, they were actually talking about one thing. Danitz wanted those extraordinary characteristics.
Audrey scolded him for not keeping his word, and the so-called generous reward was simply unbelievable.
Danitz then began to threaten Audrey, saying that if they did not hand over those extraordinary characteristics, they would be charged with "colluding with the enemy."
