Whispering Verse

Chapter 2697 Cruelty and Cowardice

When the owl flew into the hotel window at half past two that afternoon with the cat in hand, Miss Daniste was exchanging information with Miss Bell. After Shade and the witch landed, the young witch apprentice immediately said:

"Miss, something happened in the city. An hour ago, a large number of undead appeared in the woods around the city. When the church sent a team to deal with the undead, the manor where Prince William of Anjou lived was shrouded in gray fog. York ·Bronte took the people hostage."

"Where's Margaret?"

Shade immediately asked, and Miss Bell reassured Shade:

"Bronte has not gone crazy and attacked the royal family members. Princess Margaret was not there in the afternoon, and Prince William Anjou was thrown out directly after the gray fog appeared. Now the church has surrounded the manor, surrounding After the warlocks tried to enter, the heads of the manor servants were immediately thrown out. "

"Although you knew he would take action, you were so direct? Charlotte, does the church know that it was York Bronte who did it?"

The witch frowned and asked, Miss Bell shook her head:

"I don't know. The church now only knows that a large number of undead have appeared outside the city, and many of them are quite troublesome. At present, the Thirteenth Ring 'Constructor Master' has led his team to deal with it, and they are still investigating what happened in the city. The head that was thrown out of the manor was manipulated into telling the church's magicians that he wanted to see the person who stole the coffin. "

Although the resentful spirits that have been transformed and strengthened in the "Edge of Life and Death" are troublesome, as long as the church wants to eliminate them, the only role they play in a place like Vista Woodland is to delay time. This will be a small-scale battle, but it will not directly shake the order of Vista City.

"He really wanted to know who took the tree hole."

Shade was not surprised by this, but felt that York Bronte was still too timid. He briefly told Miss Daniste and Miss Bell about cemeteries, narrow rooms, coffins, flesh and blood, and subspace, letting them understand the general outline of the matter:

"Then I'll go see Bronte and this matter can be resolved today."

"If the other party dares to meet you directly now, he must have his own trump card."

Miss Danister reminded, and the witch turned into a cat and jumped on his shoulder:

"I'll go with Shade."

"You have already used the umbilical cord once this morning. If you really want to fight it, do you want to use it again? I am worried that you will turn into an owl and never come back."

The red-haired girl reached out and "plucked" the owl from Shade's shoulder:

"You stay in the hotel and ask your followers to go with me to the vicinity of the manor. Shade, I won't follow you into the manor, but if there really is a fight, we will help you as long as we see your moonlight. You I still have the magic potion here, so even if it can’t be fully restored, I can still suppress it for you.”

She was referring to the "spiritual elixir" that Priest August made for Shade.

Without further ado, Chard set out immediately. The manor where Prince William of Anjou lived was located in the southwest of the city. The sudden incident and the church's timely response. Although the unusually heavy fog caused discussion among people living nearby, it was an area where nobles in the city lived, and there were not many pedestrians, so it did not cause panic yet.

Miss Daniste and the others separated from Shade before they arrived at that neighborhood. Shade did not think about sneaking in by bypassing the church's blockade, but walked directly over after confirming his disguise.

The police blocked the road outside, but they all let Shade continue to move forward as if they could not see him, which attracted the attention of the ring wizards responsible for handling this matter.

Because this place is the closest to the [Peace Church] in this city, the first person to appear in front of Shade was the Peace Church team led by an eleventh-ring warlock. When they saw Shade coming directly without concealing himself, they slightly lowered their guard against the strange ring warlock and stopped him at the corner of the street leading to the entrance of the manor:

"Sir, the road ahead cannot be passed now."

"The people inside are looking for me."

Shade said, taking out the scabbard of the [Night Watchman] that had been used once in the coffin at noon:

"Let me go in and let me deal with it. There may be big trouble inside."

Now [Night Watch] is the weapon of the "God Caller", the "strongest" ring warlock in the entire material world. Although not everyone knows it, at least the eleventh ring warlock who stopped Shade knows it. He was quite surprised by the appearance of this sword. After repeatedly observing Shade's face and the sword, he showed a rather complicated expression:

"Is it our turn here?"

After getting permission, he reached out and touched the hilt of the long sword. After confirming that it was an angel-level relic, he motioned for his teammates to disperse:

"Okay, please come with me."

He didn't ask Shade what happened. After he brought Shade to the gate of the manor and explained it to three other captain-level church ring warlocks, they lifted the perimeter warning ceremony and signaled that Shade could enter.

Shade admired the efficiency of their communication.

"I have the coffin or the door you are looking for!"

Shade shouted to the manor, then walked in. The thin gray mist represented the power of death. When Shade stepped through the gate of the manor, the sword in his hand immediately began to glow.

It can be seen that York Bronte's risk of kidnapping people here was a temporary move out of necessity, and he was obviously afraid of the power of the church, and he knew very well that if the church did not want him to kill more people, these death fogs would not be able to stop anything.

According to the church's estimation, there should be 50 to 70 people in the manor, most of whom are servants of the manor and the prince's entourage and guards, and a small number of local nobles who came to visit Prince William of Anjou that afternoon. Once the church solves the problem outside the city, it will be a simple matter to break into the manor. Therefore, all the heartbeats that Shade's "Heart of Stone" can hear are gathered in the grand banquet hall on the third floor of the manor.

And in the entire manor filled with death fog, there are not only no living people, but also no dead people.

"He didn't even arrange for the relics to stop me."

Shade thought silently as he went up the stairs.

[He originally wanted to know who took the coffin, and he didn't want to waste too much time in the city, so why should he stop you? 】

"She" beside him asked with a smile, and Shade felt that this made sense.

The walls, windows, ceiling and floor of the banquet hall seemed to be wrapped in a layer of wriggling flesh and blood in Shade's perception. This was also the preparation made by York Bronte to prevent the church from raiding. However, when Shade came to the door of the banquet hall covered with flesh and blood, the door opened and there was no trace of flesh and blood inside the door.

All the living people in the manor were sitting or lying here safely, but they all looked listless. There was no thick gray fog in the room, but the power of death still made the living people quite uncomfortable.

Most of them even looked up at Shade when he pushed the door in, instead of asking him what was going on outside.

No one stood up to greet him or speak. The atmosphere at this time was like facing a group of critically ill patients who were about to die in the hospital. Although the window was still letting in light, according to observations from the outside, the current light was probably all created by illusion.

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Shade walked deeper into the banquet hall. He carefully avoided the people lying on the ground, and finally saw York Bronte at the far end of the long table covered with a dust-proof tablecloth.

He was as depressed as the ordinary people here, sitting against the wall, and hugging Miss Linda Bennett, the third daughter of the Bennet family who appeared here for some reason. Shade could see that he was pretending, after all, he had to cast a spell to maintain this place, and the traces of spirits and elements were probably only invisible to these ordinary people.

But it was obvious that the dead apostle did not recognize the glowing sword in Shade's hand, but instinctively felt the extreme danger. He looked up at Shade, and Shade also looked down at him.

Seeing that the other party did not want to speak, Shade had to take the initiative to say:

"Let everyone here go, stop, Theodore, there are all church ring warlocks outside."

Although the depressed Linda Bennett still had her eyes open, Shade felt that she did not hear what he said at all.

York Bronte, with a pale face, looked at him and answered hoarsely:

"Give me back my coffin. Linda Bennett and I will move out after we get married. I can guarantee that we will leave this area and never come back."

Shad asked back:

"What about your time curse? Do you have to return to the edge of life and death from time to time, or do you need to be in a high concentration of death environment for a long time?"

Bronte's face finally changed. He tried to stand up, but was still entangled by Linda Bennett, so he pushed the girl to the floor:

"I don't understand, why did you travel through time to make trouble for me? Have I ever offended you? Or have I blocked your way? The things in the coffin can belong to you, and if you let me compensate you for other property, Yes.

Life is so precious. You and I are both powerful mortals. If we can avoid death, why should we fight each other? "

"No, you have not offended me, and you have not blocked my way."

Shad shook his head:

"You traveled through time and caused a paradox. You know what the consequences will be; you have become a monster today and killed so many people. Of course I have to get rid of you."

York Bronte leaned against the wall and asked in disbelief:

"But what does this have to do with you?"

He didn't seem to be quibbling, but really thought so:

"I caused a time paradox, but that just made me live longer; I killed people, but you didn't even know those people.

What does this have to do with you? I have no hatred with you, why don't you let me go?"
