Chapter 349 348. Health

"Uncle Eric, is there something wrong with my body?" Just after walking out of the testing room filled with sophisticated magical instruments, Inanna gently blinked her clear eyes, looking at the old butler with a hint of imperceptible nervousness.

"No, not at all, miss." Eric showed his usual gentle smile and bowed slightly. "You are very healthy. All indicators are as good as they can be."

After sending Inanna away safely and watching her slender figure disappear at the end of the corridor, Eric breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that he was indeed worrying too much, and it was not the worst case scenario he was most worried about.

Next, we must devote all our energy to thoroughly investigating the traitor.

Inanna maintained her elegant and dignified demeanor and walked slowly back to her room. However, the moment the door gently closed behind her, her forced composure instantly collapsed.

She almost rushed to the bed, hugged the silent and loyal knight Puji tightly in her arms, then curled up in the darkest corner of the room and buried her face deeply in Puji's mushroom hat.

When the boss knew she was going to be examined, he actually cut off her connection to the fungus network!

There was no need for this! She could clearly control it perfectly and wouldn't notice anything unusual!

At this moment, without the warmth and comfort of the omnipresent mycelial network, Inanna felt as if she had once again been thrown back into the cold, dark, and silent abyss alone.

Only she herself, no one else can sense her existence.

Fortunately, the contract she made with Knight Puji through special props is still there, and she can still feel that weak connection, which has become her only comfort now.

She was extremely eager to perform the Puji transformation on herself immediately, to return to that warm network and be under the boss's gaze.

But it was still daytime, and Uncle Eric or other maids might come to her at any time. She could only suppress the impulse and endure it silently.

Time passed slowly in agony.

Finally, the sky outside the window became completely dark.

When night fell, Inanna locked the door immediately and couldn't wait to cast the Puji transformation spell on herself!

The soft dress rustled and fell to the ground, and a round, pink-capped baby poked out from the clothes.

The knight Puji, who had been waiting quietly beside him, stepped forward silently and gently touched the pink Puji with his mushroom cap.

Back to the fungus net, the originally blurred vision suddenly became clear and broad!

Countless familiar and friendly auras reappeared in her perception, lighting up the darkness in her heart like stars.

The entire pink mushroom relaxed visibly and lay softly on the ground.

"Boss?" she asked tentatively in the fungus net.

"Huh? What's wrong?" The familiar voice responded to her almost immediately, as always.

"Nothing... nothing..." Pinky's voice was filled with a hint of grievance and dependence. "I just wanted to see if you were there... Boss, will I... not have that nightmare again?"

"Probably not." Lin Jun replied with certainty, "Don't worry, even if you have a nightmare again, you can call me anytime."

After receiving the boss's firm assurance, Fen Puji's nerves, which had been tense all day, finally relaxed completely and he fell into a deep sleep.

That night, she did have a peaceful and sweet dream.

…

After a day of fighting, the demons suffered a minor setback and were forced to retreat back into the magical defense range of the Scarlet Spire.

After several rounds of personal combat with Sigismund, the Duke of Alama realized that although the opponent seemed to be in poor condition, he was far from being able to be defeated directly.

If they continued to attack, they would find it difficult to expand their victory and might even suffer more casualties, so they began to think of retreating.

On Sigismund's side, he was facing internal and external troubles. There was a guy in his body who wouldn't leave and could seize control at any time. He just wanted to end this inexplicable battle as soon as possible.

The commanders of both sides understood each other tacitly and began to control their troops in a tacit understanding. Like untying a tangled rope, they slowly separated the armies that were entangled with each other and retreated, ending this battle that started off well but ended badly.

Afterwards, in order to stabilize the military morale and internal public opinion, Sigismund did not hesitate to put the blame for the defeat on Duke Eleanor, who had remained idle throughout the whole process.

Obviously, as long as Eleanor takes action and sandwiches the two sides, everything will be fine!

Most of the demon soldiers and middle and lower-level officers who were unaware of the situation accepted this explanation that sounded reasonable, and hated Eleanor's "betrayal" with a vengeance.

Only the adjutant who had personally experienced the chaos in command and vaguely sensed the Duke's abnormality had doubts in his heart.

As the Duke's most trusted confidant, he was more sensitive than others to the fact that the Duke's behavior over the past two days was often filled with an indescribable weirdness.

For example...now!

Lin Jun was leaning back in a wide chair without any image, stuffing sweet candies into his mouth with one hand and flipping through a thick book with a black cover with the other hand.

This book was collected from the relics of the evil wizard Malgas who died accidentally. It contains a large amount of difficult, obscure and extremely dangerous abyss magic knowledge.

Lin Jun, however, read with great interest, as if he was reading some interesting adventure novel.

It’s a pity that there is no fungal blanket here, otherwise I could directly decompose the evil wizard and maybe I could try to cast these abyss magics.

However, Lin Jun quickly thought of a workaround.

Due to the deceptive nature of Abyss Magic, there are naturally very few users.

It is a taboo strictly prohibited in the United Kingdom, which is why Lin Jun has never had the chance to catch one.

Although it is equally rare among the demons, fortunately the law does not prohibit it.

So, Lin Jun waved his hand and publicly issued a recruitment notice in the name of the Duke, recruiting users of Abyss Magic without setting any level threshold. Even the lowest-level Abyss Magic apprentices could come and serve, and the treatment would be preferential!

First, trick people over, then assign them some tasks of "going to Modu for business trips", and then all you have to do is wait for the takeaway to be delivered.

As for whether doing so will cause trouble for Sigismund?

Lin Jun doesn't care about that!

In the end, Sigismund had to clean up the mess himself.

Just like the adjutant who was standing not far away, secretly looking at him with complicated and suspicious eyes.

So what if I doubt it?

Lin Jun doesn't care at all!

The feeling of having a wild party at someone else's house, then walking away afterward, leaving the homeowner to clean up the mess... is truly cozy!

Right now, what Lin Jun wants to figure out more is the hole leading to the abyss!

It seems that the huge and chaotic information flow that is gushing out is not all useless garbage. If you carefully filter and identify it, you may be able to find something valuable.

For example, [Justice] seems to be one of the eight virtues.

It’s a pity that we still have no idea what the “harvest stage” and “justice value” mentioned in it refer to.

If an ordinary person were to come into contact with this massive amount of information for even a moment, their consciousness would be completely overwhelmed.

But Lin Jun can try to use them due to his huge size.

What is needed now is to learn how to open that hole by increasing the level and studying!

Of course, we can’t neglect the enjoyment aspect!

A vampire's body cannot taste normal food, but at least he can taste the "delicious" blood!

First, consult Xiaozhu.
