Chapter 114 Cooperation

Leatherback demons are a kind of hybrid demons that can be "invisible". Their abdomens have no protection, but their backs have a thick layer of rough skin like sea cucumbers. When they lie down, they can be completely covered like a pot. , and the skin can also change color like squid. Their hunting method is to flatten themselves on rocks, sand or gravel piles, perfectly simulating the surrounding colors, and when the prey approaches, they suddenly lift up their bodies and shoot a spear A powerful bone spur.

Their invisibility is also favored by demon bosses, who domesticate them and use them for assassination and assassination. -- "Encyclopedia of Feinuo Continent · Alien Creatures"

"What's going on? Tell me all you know."

"The demon ambushed His Excellency the Pope and seriously injured him, but Ferdinand, the president of the Mages Association, was nearby and quickly rushed over to heal the wound of the Pope. It’s not to the point of dying.” Cecil said, “Later, Darris, the Knights Templar, came to see the Pope with a mentor from the Master’s Academy. After he left, the Pope died. I’m afraid it’s not a coincidence.”

Evandel, who was already in a bad mood, grabbed his collar and pressed him against the wall, his ice blue eyes looked at the nervous Cecil fiercely: "Is there any personal grudge between you and him? Want to use my hand to bring him down? Do you know what time it is?"

Cecil swallowed palely: "You have reason not to trust me, I'm sorry for the past, but there really is no personal grudge between me and Darius, and I also know that at this critical moment of life and death, the sect Internal strife is very bad, but His Excellency the Pope is a good person, he should not end up like this, and should not die at the hands of his own people when the enemy is present."

Avandell didn't speak any more, he looked at Cecil with gloomy eyes, the young priest swallowed nervously under his gaze, it could be seen that he was very afraid of Avondell, but he still stood firm against the mage's menacing attack The sight said: "What I said is true, Mr. Evandel, if you want to take the overall situation into consideration and choose to settle the matter temporarily, I will cooperate. We don't know how long we can live. I just hope that even if I die, There are still others who know the truth."

Evandel finally let go of him sleepily, the mage silently gave orders to the familiar Natalie, and the bat flew out to find Darius' whereabouts, and she saw that the head of the Knights Templar was dealing with the follow-up matters of the demon attack , delivered an impassioned speech to the assembled Templars, condemning the atrocities of the devil, calling on everyone to unite as one, fearless sacrifice, and avenge His Holiness the Pope.

When the mage returned to the hall, King Leicester had already healed the wound on his hand, and he didn't even change his bloody clothes, so he discussed with several people around the demon's body how to take precautions This kind of devil's sneak attack, when he saw Avandel, he called the mage over: "It's just in time, you know a lot, come and see this devil..."

Evandel interrupted him and asked directly: "Ricester, are all your guards around?"

"Yes, what's the matter?" Reicester looked at him in confusion.

There is a reassuring prince stationed in Artasia. Not only has Leicester stayed in Mikalan to keep a close eye on the situation in the rift, but he has also transferred his royal guard, which is the most elite military force in Artasia. The members of an iron cavalry are all battle-tested knights, and their fighting power is stronger than that of the Knights Templar.

"Call them, I need your help."

"Okay." Reicester agreed first, and asked the guards around him to summon his subordinates, before turning around to ask, "What happened?"

"I suspect that Darius murdered the Pope." Evandel strode towards the Pope's bedroom as he spoke. The Pope's body was still there, and he should be able to see something from the body.

Reicester chased after him and lowered his voice and said, "This is a very serious accusation. Do you have any reliable evidence?"

"not yet."

"Then don't act rashly. Even if you really have evidence, we have to think long-term. This is the holy city of Mikalan, the center of the Church of the God of Light. Darius' influence in this city is deeply rooted. The Pope who would have favored you They are already dead, not to mention that all the Templars have withdrawn from various places to defend the city. Although my guards are brave and good at fighting, they are not many in number, and it is not wise to confront them at this time."

"Don't forget my magic." Evandel said.

"But now is not the time to think about how to defeat them." Reicester was still trying to make him change his mind, "The demon army may attack again at any time, if we kill each other at this time, the consequences will be unimaginable, count me Please, don't be self-willed this time, okay?"

"I have spent more than 200 years working hard to learn and master the power of arcana, just so that I can be qualified to act willfully today." Evandel said coldly, "Whether you come or not, I must Do, if you can't help me deter them, then I'll fight them with magic myself."

"You are really... Oh! I always have nothing to do with you." Leicester could only helplessly follow.

When Evandel opened the door and broke into the Pope's room, the work of the two Silent Friars hadn't been completed. The Pope's body had just been washed, and the sacrificial robes to be worn during the coffin were still put aside.

The Silent Brother looked at these trespassing intruders in panic. The oath of "keep silent" made them unable to ask questions, and they were unable to protest when Leicester picked them up one by one and pushed them out.

"Do you want to close the door?" Reicester felt that he was going crazy, and drew out his sword to guard Avondel.

"No, just don't let them in." Evandel began to examine the Pope's body, trying to find out the cause of his death.

The new uneven scar on his chest should be the wound left by the devil's bone spur. Few people can glue such a puncture wound completely evenly. The first thing he needs to do is to check the internal organs--Ferdinand is also a member of the Mages Association no matter how incompetent he is. Chairman, Evandel didn't think he would make such a low-level mistake, but hastily plugging the internal organs without proper bonding is indeed one of the common causes of sudden death.

To probe the internal organs, the easiest and most direct way is to look with the eyes.

Evandel apologized to the pope in his heart, condensed magic into a black blade, and cut open the pope's chest precisely.

When the Silent Brothers were kicked out, some Templars noticed the anomaly, and they immediately wanted to rush in to stop Avondel from desecrating the corpse, but Leicester's guards were already guarding the door of the Pope's room , confronting them with open flames.

The swords of the Templars were all out of the pry, but they could only verbally warn each other to back away. The king's loyal guards were unmoved, and the Templars had no choice. No one dared to attack a king by force. With his guards, they had no choice but to send someone to find Dales, the leader.

With such a small number of people surrounded by the entire Knights Templar in a church with no retreat, this is definitely an act of courting death in the military. Although the Knights Templar did not rush in, Leicester was still very nervous. Looking back carefully: "How is it? Do you see anything?"

"...There is no problem with the internal organs. Ferdinand has already done the most appropriate treatment. The Pope did not die because of a chest injury." Evandel pressed his fingers gently on the already cold skin, and concentrated on checking those blood vessels. When he touched his wrist, he found something abnormal: "Sure enough..."

Ferdinand rushed over when he heard the news. He saw what Evandel was doing from a distance, and exclaimed palely, "My God, what are you doing!"

"Let him in." Evandel had finished checking, and was cleaning the few bloodstains on his hands in the basin that the silent monk hadn't had time to take away.

Ferdinand was let go. He looked at the Pope's disembowelled body, and was so shocked that he couldn't even speak. He could only point at Avondel tremblingly: "You, you, you, you..."

His appearance made Evandel frowned uncomfortably: "Ferdinand, you personally treated the wounds of His Excellency the Pope, and you should know how effective the treatment is, but the Pope passed away suddenly. Didn't you have this matter?" Any thoughts?"

Mentioning this, Ferdinand became a little uneasy again: "I...I really tried my best..."

"I saw that the Pope injured his lungs, not his heart. You handled it very well. Even if he was not young, he wouldn't die from such an injury. But he still died. The cause of death was excessive blood loss. Shock, you know what happened."

"...I don't know, I really don't know, Darius kicked me out."

"Probably because he thinks you are not obedient enough, he has already found a more obedient dog." Evandel said, "If there is no accident, the Pope's death will be blamed on your improper treatment, and then you will be dismissed at least, or at worst." Then he will be executed, so that the position of the president of the Mages Association will be vacated for his new puppet—unless you and I expose his crime of murdering the Pope."

"But, but... this..."

"What is this? Would you rather take the blame for something you didn't do wrong than stand up and fight back?"

"But... you want me to fight against Darius? Here? At this time?" Ferdinand asked three questions in a row in panic.

"Are you addicted to being someone else's dog?! Even if he wants you to die, would you rather die obediently wagging your tail!" The mage finally became angry, and knocked over the water basin, making a loud noise that scared Ferdinand Jump, "If you are really so loyal, go and bury your master!"

"Who do you want to be buried?" Darius finally walked into the cathedral with a sullen face, and when he saw what happened in the open door, he drew out his long sword, "Evil thief! How can you desecrate the body of His Excellency the Pope! "
