As Lily could not find a convenient brick to use at the critical moment, she was holding back her anger. She rushed forward and bit the defenseless enemy. Hao Ren spent a lot of effort to pull the "werewolf" girl away. In the process, he almost got bitten by Lily. She was not usually this protective of her food, but now she was not letting anyone touch her.
"Can you not bite when you're fighting?" Hao Ren pinched Lily's ear hard to calm her down. "You almost bit me!"
The golden light in Lily's eyes faded and her rage bar slowly cleared. "Oh... I couldn't control myself. I was too excited."
Vivian looked at the blood on Lily's mouth with a strange expression. Lily's face was pale and the latter had goosebumps. "What are you looking at, Battie?"
Vivian pointed at the corner of Lily's mouth and said, "Smack your lips and taste it."
Lily: "Ugh?"
She then ran to the side to vomit.
"This thing can't run away now, can it?" Hao Ren cautiously approached the monster. The monster was almost unrecognizable after being ganged up on by a group of superhumans. But even so, it was not dead. It was just that its limbs were broken and it could not continue to hurt people due to the loss of blood. It was a charred mass of human flesh struggling on the ground, almost instinctively trying to stand up as if it could not feel any pain. The creepy scene made people's scalps go numb. A few Aerymian elves standing closest to it whispered, "What the hell is this?" "A local? It doesn't look like one. "" There's no sign of life... "
After confirming that the monster could not stand up, a Royal Guard captain announced that the crisis had been averted. But the soldiers still did not dare to let their guard down. They surrounded the center of the hall in circles. At the same time, a bishop shouted, "Go check on the pope!"
It was obvious that the scroll brought by the monster disguised as a knight was enchanted with some kind of curse or evil magic. After reading the scroll, the pope did not move at all, as if his soul had been sucked away by the scroll. The phrase "Your Holiness the Pope is summoned by the Lord" was even more disturbing. The few bishops immediately rushed to the pope's side, but no one dared to move. The pope held the scroll with a stiff expression, his muscles glowing green, and his skin tight like dehydrated fibers. His eyes were dim, but his mouth and nose were still breathing. No one knew how to deal with this strange situation.
But just when everyone was at a loss, the Pope's body suddenly trembled. After that, the light in his eyes quickly returned, and the signs of death quickly faded from his body. A heavy gasp came from the old man's nostrils. "Phew …"
A few bishops quickly stepped forward. "Your Holiness …"
"This is evil magic. An evil god tried to invade my mind, but it underestimated my loyalty to the Goddess." The pope waved his hand to indicate that he was fine. "Those heretics think that everyone is as weak as they are, and tried to use this to shake my faith... I'm fine. I could still vaguely sense the situation around me. How is the heretic? "
The bishops and knights escorted the pope to the monster. The monster was still struggling on the ground, and when it saw that the pope was fine, it let out a series of indistinct curses. This seemed to prove that it could still think. The pope frowned at the monster, and there was some pity in his eyes. "Poor monster, this is a creature created by the flesh and blood of the heretics... I can feel at least a dozen souls in pain in its body. John is among them. "
Hao Ren asked around, and found out that John was the name of the knight that the monster disguised as. It seemed that the heretics had found a way to corrupt a real high-ranking knight. Whether it was through violence or brainwashing, they had turned the once loyal knight into a part of the monster.
After that, Mhoren ordered the entire hall to be locked down, and all irrelevant personnel were dismissed. The Aerymian elves were also temporarily evacuated to other resting places nearby. The scene quickly quieted down. Other than Hao Ren and his gang, only the king, the pope, Ophra, and a few high-ranking bishops and princes, as well as a few guards were left.
"How did those heretics infiltrate?!" Becky was not kicked out because of her special identity. At this time, she asked nervously, "This is the Imperial City!"
"This may be a sign that they have finally been forced into a desperate situation." Ophra's voice was calm and powerful, and had the power to calm people down. "Recently, we have been cleaning up the Cult of Origination. They are a loose organization, and the core group should only have a dozen people, but there are dozens of peripheral cult groups of various names and sizes. Now those peripheral groups have been hit hard... They should be fighting to the death. "
"This time, it is a disgrace to the Holletta Royal Family to let our distinguished guests be disturbed on such an occasion." Mhoren finally had an angry look on his face. The always smiling king rarely got angry. "I am deeply sorry for this accident, letting our guests see something disgraceful."
Hao Ren waved his hand and said, "It's okay. The world is full of strange things... Err, that's not what I meant. Anyway, I have seen a lot, and I'm used to this scene. About these heretics... How much information do you have so far? I also need relevant information. "
Hao Ren had told Ophra about this before he left. In order to track down clues about the Goddess of Creation, he must know what the giant brain that the heretics summoned was. If possible, he even needed to connect with the giant brain again to get more details about the "origin of life". And this time in Holletta, inquiring about the heretics was also one of the agenda.
Ophra nodded and said, "There has been a lot of progress recently, but... let's wait until after the banquet."
Hao Ren looked at the scene. It was a mess, and it was indeed not a place to hand over the materials.
At this time, Lily finally finished vomiting and came back. With a bitter face, she said, "This blood has expired for so long... Can't the werewolves fight properly!"
Hao Ren gave the girl a sideways glance and said, "Who told you to bite with your teeth? Can't you stop being so stupid? Don't you think it's beneath you? "
"Werewolves fight with their claws, claws, and teeth," Vivian shrugged helplessly. "That's a normal werewolf. Big Dog's usual brick-slashing and clawing skills are evil. "
Lily wagged her tail and said, "That's right, biting is part of the werewolf's design. If you don't like it, don't do it!"
Vivian smiled and said, "Try to recall the taste again."
Lily: "... Blargh!"
This time, even Hao Ren could not stand it and said, "Vivian, you did it too."
Vivian: "... Blargh!"
After the two monster girls found a place to dry heave, Hao Ren came to the pope and asked, "Old man, have you caught your breath? What's with the scroll just now? "
The pope glanced at Hao Ren, hesitating if he should let him see the dangerous scroll. But soon he thought of the magical power of the heretics, so the old man frowned and nodded. As he handed the scroll, he cautiously reminded, "This thing is dangerous. Be careful, it will attack your soul when you read it."
Hao Ren took the thing and felt that it was just an ordinary scroll, but the material was neither paper nor leather, which was very suspicious. Before opening the thing, he cautiously asked the MDT, "Can the mental barrier in my brain withstand this kind of soul attack?"
"Not a big problem. Your mental barrier has been blessed by the goddess, and even if it can't withstand it, I can still protect you." The MDT shook its head in Hao Ren's pocket to show that it was full of energy. "If your mental reading is too low, I will knock you out."
Hao Ren: "....."
He suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the way the MDT protected him!
But no matter what, Hao Ren still decided to take a look at what the scroll was. It was not that he wanted to die, but he was really curious about what the heretics had come up with. In this world where history was severely broken, religious legends were incomplete, and even the Disciples of Glory could not understand the truth of the ancient times, how did a group of heretics know so much about the goddess of creation? Although their doctrine seemed to be equally unreliable, at least they knew how to summon a creature that had a close relationship with the goddess of creation. Where did this knowledge come from?
Perhaps the principle of their magic could be revealed a little.
Hao Ren asked the MDT to monitor the information radiation of the scroll, and then carefully opened it.
The scroll was blank.
Hao Ren was ready for a mental attack, but after a long time of channeling his inner force, nothing happened.
"This thing doesn't affect me..." He casually fiddled with the scroll, but before his voice trailed off, there was a sudden strange scream from the scroll, and then it fell apart.
