Chapter 74: Penny's Choice (1)
Chapter 74 Penny's Choice (1)
After listening to Laura's rough narration, Green sighed secretly in his heart. It turns out that money can make ghosts run the mill in this world!
Holy Archbishop of the Church of Light What is that character! The spokesperson of the God of Light, the **** walking in the world, the most devout servant, and the most noble saint. But as long as you pay 10,000 gold medals, you can get the holy water blessed by the Holy Archbishop, and the buyer is precisely the enemy of the Church of Light - a newborn vampire!
But what surprised Greene even more was that Laura did not hesitate to spend tens of thousands of gold pounds to purify the blood of vampires.
In fact, in detail, although the vampire bloodline has many limitations, it is not unacceptable. At least one advantage is that it is immortal, and the development of combat power is also good. Especially the level of vampire blood that Laura obtained is not low. Originally, Green thought that Laura would accept her fate, but she did not expect this woman to be so persistent. There must be a deeper reason behind this. The biggest possibility is that compared with the vampire blood Laura There are better options.
Green thought of this and couldn't help but take a deep look at Laura, but he didn't have much desire to explore other people's secrets, so he didn't ask any more questions. He changed the subject and asked Laura what was going on with him.
Laura was slightly surprised, as if she had already prepared her speech, but Green didn't play the cards according to the routine, which made her a little depressed. She lowered her head and pouted, and waited for Green before answering: "I'm fine, of course I won't come to you, I I heard there is a little girl named Penny in your Wilson family who is very close to you, isn't she?"
Green was stunned. He didn't expect that Laura's trip was actually related to Penny. He nodded and said with a heavy face: "Indeed, my relationship with Penny, she disappeared not long ago, what? Do you have any news?"
Laura said with a smile: "Of course there is news, otherwise I won't come, it's up to Mr. Wilson to bid."
Green shook his head and said, "You should go to Lord Viscount about bargaining. You are not afraid of losing money by talking to me about such important news? This is not your style."
Laura snorted: "It's a big deal to ask Viscount Paul to get some gold pounds, but you can exchange your favor. I think it's a good deal."
"Oh? Well, count me as I owe you a favor, and tell me where Penny is." Green spread his hands indifferently. The so-called "owing a favor" is just a verbal promise, and he doesn't need to think about it at all, and he also believes that by labor La's character will definitely not make him embarrassed.
Laura also expected this result, and took out a note from her pocket, with an address in the lower city written on it: "You can go here and see, she may be alive or dead, I can't guarantee it. , prepare yourself mentally." In the end, Laura's face turned pale, and she stared at Greene seriously, estimating that in her opinion, the situation might not be good.
Green unfolded the note, glanced at it and put it away, stood up and said, "I'll go over and see, how are you? Do you want to come with me, or have another cup of coffee here?"
"Coffee is okay, I have other things to do, so I won't go with you." Laura rejected Green's invitation to go with him and left.
Green did not hold back, nor did he tell Viscount Paul and Vincent the news. He planned to go and see it by himself first. If the news was wrong, he would not have to rejoice.
Twenty minutes later, Green took a carriage to a tavern in the lower city according to the address.
Because it belongs to a slum neighborhood, this tavern is also very shabby, and there has been a lot of weirdness in Langton recently, which has made the neighborhood even more desolate and deserted, and the tavern has also closed.
The address is not difficult to find. Green came to the door of the tavern and frowned slightly when he saw the locked door. He felt a very disgusting aura from the tavern, and went with him at Minster College. It's the same as encountering the tree man monster.
Green's heart moved: "Is this also the stronghold of the Church of Nature?"
If it is as he expected, then it all makes sense. According to the results of the investigation by the Special Bureau, Penny finally disappeared in Minster College, and the Minster Principal is a member of the Church of Nature. If Penny did not sacrifice flesh and soul at Minster College, but appeared here, it seems possible.
This boosted Green's spirit and sensed the aura of the Church of Nature, which at least proved that Laura's news was not aimless. Green released the evil spirit and wanted to go to investigate first, but he didn't expect that this humble tavern would actually have a defensive array! When Green released the evil spirit to try to pass through the wall, a green light rippled, creating a repulsive force that blocked the evil spirit abruptly, and even caused the evil spirit to lose a trace of blood.
"Natural Church's defensive divine magic circle! However, its grade is not high, and its power is also very weak." Green saw the green light and immediately saw it. The functions are complete. He was careless just now. He didn't expect that there would be a magic circle in such a place. After being dispatched by the evil spirit, an alarm will definitely be issued to alert the people inside, and there is no point in hiding it.
Green took a few steps back, summoned two teams of skeleton soldiers to surround the tavern, and used ghouls as assault troops to break in directly.
Nearby people heard the movement and saw the appearance of the white skeleton soldiers. They were so frightened that they hurriedly hid back home, not daring to let out the air. There were also some who were brave enough to peep through the wall or through the window. There were also two uniformed patrol officers who had just walked past the alley and realized that something was wrong. .
Green, as if no one was around, ordered the ghoul to break the lock and break in directly. The skeleton soldiers raised their guns and took cover behind.
However, after rushing into this tavern, the expected counterattack did not appear. There seemed to be no one inside. The tables and chairs were neatly arranged, and the wine cabinet was cleaned up. It seemed that the owner was not in a hurry when he left. The rooms on the second floor were also packed, and the luggage was neatly stacked, but no one was seen.
"Am I a step late?" Green frowned, but he still didn't dare to give up. He sent all the evil spirits to search to see if there was a secret room in this tavern where people could hide.
Unfortunately, this kind of secret room does not exist, only a cellar with a small space and the entrance has been filled with earth and stone was found under the tavern house.
Green's heart sank, he didn't think there was a living person hiding under that.
Sure enough, the evil spirit went down to investigate and found at least a dozen corpses. It was about the time of death that the corpses hadn't rotted, but because they were stacked too closely, it was difficult to distinguish their faces. For a while, Green couldn't tell if Penny was inside. Hurry up and let the ghouls dig the buried cellar...
A few minutes later, Green looked gloomy as he watched the corpse of a young girl who was not yet completely rigid being picked out from the corpse pile and placed in front of him.
Penny is indeed dead, and according to the professional judgment of the necromancer, she has been dead for a period of time. The reason why the corpse is not decomposed is because of the blessing of some kind of magic, so that the cells of these corpses are still active, even if they are buried underground. It didn't rot and stink for a few days.
