Noble Emblem
1038 Lightning falls from the sky
The Archbishop's meeting was simpler than imagined. Back at North County Abbey, Monica said with some disbelief: "They gave in so easily?"
Monica thought that this time it was a joint pressure from several archbishops. If she didn't show enough toughness or even pay a certain price, there would be no way to 'persuade' these old guys.
Unexpectedly, he just went up and cursed a few times, and Beta threw a sword out, and they all shut up. And also agreed to Monica's request.
"Actually, this is normal." Beta explained: "Their family has a big business, and it is impossible for them to confront someone like you who has nothing but a temple, but is very powerful, and fight to the death. In their view, , It’s not worth it. And it’s not difficult to help you find out the information. Anyway, if everyone is embarrassed, it means there is no shame.”
Monica smiled and asked with a smile: "When you threw the weapon out just now, were you helping me vent my anger?"
Betacho shook his head calmly: "No, I just don't want the archbishop to stir up the atmosphere. If he succeeds, we will be in some trouble."
Monica didn't believe it. She looked at Beta with a smile and said, "It's a tough talk, but I just know what's going on."
She smiled proudly, twisted her waist and left Beta's room.
Beta thought for a while and went to the prince's manor.
Because they were acquaintances, he met the prince quickly.
The reception was held in the prince's bedroom, which was filled with the stimulating smell of heather. Moreover, the prince was naked from the waist up and hugging a pretty maid.
When he saw Beta, he smiled sleepily: "Hey, isn't this Mr. Li Lin who takes money and does nothing? Why, the power of money still hasn't made you get out from under Ms. Celia's pomegranate skirt?"
What Bowens meant was that he found it a bit strange that Beta was not the owner of the fifty gold coins.
"I said, that's just a reward for my help you once." Beta said in a calm tone: "I came here this time just to ask, do you still have any ideas about paying me my salary during this time?"
Beta didn't like the other party's gold coins, he just came to have a look.
The prince paused for a moment, then smiled: "Haha, you are not willing to be my subordinate, why should I pay you. And you have to understand that it is almost impossible to reconcile between Celia and I. It’s possible, you can only choose one party to join.”
Beta looked at the prince's bald head, smiled, and then left the room.
Walking on the street, Beta chuckled.
The prince is avoiding suspicion. The current prince looks like a playboy, which is completely different from the temperament and ability he showed before. It's almost like two different people.
No matter how you look at it, this person who was able to escape from the royal dispute and come to the Holy City of Life should not have fallen so quickly. After thinking about it, Beta only came to one conclusion.
What does the prince know? What is he afraid of?
At the same time, to whom does he express his inability to influence the overall situation? I don’t know if it is related to the girl’s disappearance.
Beta found it quite interesting.
If the archbishop couldn't find anything, the prince might be a breakthrough.
After returning to the temple, Beta told Monica her thoughts, and the latter immediately sent out a dozen spider incarnations to focus on monitoring Prince Bowens.
Two days later, one of the archbishop's men discovered some important clues and immediately informed Monica and Beta.
The two of them searched for clues to find the past.
Then in an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts, he dug through the debris and found a secret passage. I went in cautiously, and there was nothing unusual along the way, but when I got to the bottom, I smelled a putrid smell.
At this time, Beta already had a bad premonition. It was very dark down there. He had real vision and was not affected by light, and Monica also had dark vision brought by the spider incarnation.
Neither of them needed light. They saw a dozen corpses in the empty basement. They walked up holding their noses, and then their faces became gloomy.
These dozen corpses are all girls. They are all naked, and many parts have rotted. If you are lucky, the faces are not swollen or rotten, but you can recognize their original appearance. If the faces are rotten, then there is really no Way to identify yourself.
Beta was extremely angry. He felt his forehead twitching, but he quickly calmed down.
Monica searched inside for a while and said, "This, this, and this are our people."
"I know." Beta's voice was a little low. He knelt down, looked at it for a while, and said, "The arteries in the necks of all the girls were opened. They were wounds caused by sharp swords. They all died. Excessive bleeding."
"bloodletting?"
"It smells like the sacrifice of the evil god." Beta looked around: "I can feel it."
"It can't be..." Monica pointed to the sky.
If she refers to the sky in the Holy City of Life, she naturally refers to the goddess of life. As the possessor of the Spider Queen, Monica certainly knows who the true identity of the Goddess of Life is now.
The Spider Queen has many favored ones, but she can't control them. Most of the divine transcribers are dark elves, and there are relatively few divine favored ones among humans.
Therefore, Monica's luck is actually quite good.
Beta shook his head: "No, I feel the smell of another kind of blood, a bit like a vampire."
"Isn't it extinct?"
Beta shook his head again. He still remembered the epic mission given by the last system mission, which asked him to find the true ancestor of the vampire. As a result, a fake was found. Although the system still regarded it as completing the task, Beta knew that the true ancestor of the vampire should still be alive.
While he was thinking this, he threw a ball of fire and burned all the corpses.
"Aren't you looking for clues?"
"The other party was very cautious and didn't leave anything noteworthy." Beta was a little unhappy: "But I have temporarily recorded the magic smell left here. If I encounter it in the future, I should be able to feel it."
"Go back then?"
"Just go back first."
When the two of them came out of the secret passage, Monica wanted to say something again, but Beta suddenly shuddered, put his arm around Monica's waist, and pulled her into his arms.
Monica was stunned for a moment, and then she was a little surprised. Could it be that Beta wanted to be here...well, that's okay, it seemed quite interesting.
Monica's cheeks turned slightly red. Before she could get any happier, Beta jumped back holding her, and then she saw a huge white electric ball falling from the sky and smashing into the abandoned warehouse.
