Chapter 42: Gold does not favor your IQ

[Blood Law spread increased, current spread: 4%]

When Lear returned to the Duke's Mansion, the sky was already bright white.

He looked a little haggard. The huge consumption of magic power and the sudden loss of 50% of his maximum health made him feel as if his body had been hollowed out.

He returned to his bedroom. Ino and Adele had already woken up and were talking to each other, as if they were whispering between girls.

Li Er hugged Ino and bit Ino's neck before the little maid could react.

Blood flowed into his body through the wound, and the feeling of powerlessness in his body was quickly fading away. On the other hand, Ino's whole body went limp and he could only let Lear hold him.

Feeling his body recovering, Li Er opened his mouth with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

A lot of things happened tonight, and I was almost caught by Ophelia, but the gains were also huge.

The spread of the Blood Law has been improved, and the Blue Secret Dew Drop Bottle and the mid-level Blood Apostle skills have been obtained.

Blood incarnation and blood thirst.

Thanks to the incarnation of blood, he escaped from Ophinina without anyone noticing.

As for the blood thirst...

This is a skill that surprised Lear. By sucking blood and devouring the magic power in the target's body, he can quickly recover his own state. There is also a very low probability that he can obtain the target's talents and skills through the target's blood.

This effect can only be triggered once on the same target, but it is powerful enough! "Master." Ino's soft voice suddenly came to my ears.

Lear came back to his senses from his thoughts. The little maid's face was rosy, but she looked a little listless.

He showed an apologetic expression, "Sorry, Ino, I was a little inconsiderate."

The blood thirst can devour magic power through blood. Magic power is the core strength of professionals. When magic power is exhausted, even if it does not cause substantial damage to the body, the whole person will feel powerless.

"You should have a good rest today. I will leave the affairs of the mansion to other maids." Li Er stroked Ino's hair, then looked at Adele beside him.

"Adele..., well, you are my woman now, but I hope you can continue to stay in the Duke of Norton's Mansion."

"Didn't Duke Norton ask you to find out about my father? Just tell him that my father will come to the royal city in the near future. When Duke Norton makes other moves, tell me again."

"Is that all?" Adele nodded. She knew that although Lear accepted her, she couldn't just be a vase. She had to show her own value in order to get Lear's attention.

"That's all." Lear nodded.

…

The Duke of Norton's Palace.

Eric walked into the living room, saw his father, frowned and asked, "Dad, Adele hasn't come back all day?"

Duke Norton looked up and was somewhat surprised that Eric could already stand up, with a crow standing on his shoulder.

He did not ask about these things, but warned: "I have given Adele a task. From now on, you must not interfere with what Adele wants to do, and you are not allowed to bully her again. Do you understand?"

Eric was stunned for a moment, and his expression became a little gloomy when he remembered what his father had said to Adele before.

He left the living room alone, and as he walked out of Duke Norton's sight, the crow on his shoulder suddenly flapped its wings.

"What's wrong?" Eric felt that Derek was getting a little angry.

"Colen is dead." Dritch said in a cold tone.

"Colum?"

"It's another subordinate of mine. I asked him to disrupt the order in the slums and spread corruption. I didn't expect that he would be discovered by the Golden Church so quickly. What an incompetent waste!" Crow cursed.

"Now that Colen is dead, his mission will have to be completed by you, Eric." After scolding Colen, Derrick looked at Eric.

Eric's expression turned ugly, and he suddenly felt that joining a cult might not be a wise decision.

…

Lear was sitting on a park bench wearing sunglasses and holding a cup of black tea.

The battle last night did not cause much damage, but many people saw the storm of light that enveloped the civilian area.

Citizens were discussing the topic of the Light Storm, saying that it was the sacred Golden Law that was eliminating heresy.

As Lear listened, he suddenly heard someone mention his name.

"Have you heard that Master Lear of the Stuart family has imprisoned Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

"puff!"

The tea spurted out of his mouth, and Lear was shocked.

What the hell? The citizens on the other side did not notice Lear's situation and continued, "It's reported in the newspapers that Her Royal Highness the Princess is missing and has been imprisoned by the young master of the Stuart family."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"And the young master of the Stuart family communicated with the pagan gods, so he gained the power of the double law."

"Is this true?" The worker standing opposite widened his eyes.

Listening to what the two said, Li Er stood up from the bench silently, went to the newsstand, and bought a recent newspaper.

The title that caught my eye was: Imprisoning a Princess? The Evil Deeds of Lear Stuart.

With a slight twitch in the corner of his eye, he put away the newspaper and went straight home.

What bastard would imitate him and publish such a little article in the newspaper?

Also, who leaked the fact that Milia was imprisoned in her own home? First of all, Ino was excluded. Lear believed in the loyalty of the little maid. As for the other maids in the mansion, they were all slaves who grew up in the Duke's mansion. Although they had seen Milia, they didn't know that Milia was the princess.

If that's the case, then who leaked the secret?

Lear thought of the king and queen.

The next day, Lear received the notice and went to the palace.

The king summoned.

Before he left, he did not tell Milia what happened in the newspaper, so as not to cause panic among the little princess.

As he walked along the road, rumors about him had already spread throughout the royal city, and some nobles had also noticed something was amiss.

It seems that Princess Millia has not appeared in public for a long time. Even at the last banquet, Millia did not show up.

When they arrived at the palace gate, the guard saw Lear and had a strange look on his face. He said, "Master Lear, His Majesty is waiting for you."

Lear raised an eyebrow, nodded to the guard, and then entered the palace.

As soon as they entered the palace, before they had walked far, on the other side, Ophelia came over with Mori.

Ophinina looked a little haggard, as if she had not slept well. When Morrie saw Lear, he showed a stern expression and walked up to Lear.

"It turns out that you were able to become a dual-law professional because you communicated with pagan gods! And you even cruelly imprisoned the princess!" He shouted loudly as soon as he came up.

Li Er's expression did not change when he heard this. He looked at Mori as if he was looking at a fool. "I remember that the Golden Law is known as the perfect law. The believers of the Golden Law should be balanced in all aspects. But the Golden Law does not seem to favor your IQ?"
