Chapter 205 Is the Pope jealous? I'm here to beat up the nun!
"What's the matter with you coming to see me this time?"
Edith gently picked up the black tea, took a sip, then looked at Su Xuan lazily and asked.
"I have something to ask you." Su Xuan said directly.
Edith's dark red eyes gently swept across Lucia who was sitting next to Su Xuan, as if she had guessed his purpose.
"Just be frank. There's no need for us to beat around the bush."
As she spoke, she put down the teacup in her hand.
"Regarding the bizarre death of a purple-robed priest in the Black Rose Ancient City." Su Xuan said directly, "I am investigating this matter."
As the true ruler of the Black Rose Ancient City, Edith could not possibly be unaware of everything that happened in her territory.
After all, the purple-robed priest holds a pivotal position in the Church of Light. His official rank is at least equivalent to that of an earl, and as the manager of all the churches of light in the Black Rose Ancient City, the cause of his death cannot be easily concealed.
"I have been busy recently, and I don't know the details of this matter in depth, but I can give you the power to investigate." Edith said to Su Xuan, "The body of the purple-robed priest is placed in a morgue in the Black Rose Ancient City. You can go there to investigate at any time."
"Thank you very much."
Su Xuan expressed his gratitude. Edith's words undoubtedly gave him great convenience in the Black Rose Ancient City.
"Oh, yes."
Su Xuan took out the demon-eating worm from his backpack and asked Edith, "What impression do you have of this creature? Who would be able to raise them?"
"Demon Devourer?"
Edith glanced at the black bug wrapped in golden light and said calmly, "There is a prince who likes to study this kind of creatures. I remember his name is Prince Teds, the king's younger brother."
"The king's own brother?"
Su Xuan narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
"It's best not to provoke him," Edith warned, "He is the third strongest person in the Star Kingdom. You are not strong enough to compete with him now."
"Um... OK, I understand."
After getting the answer he wanted, Su Xuan left Edith's mansion with Lucia.
After they left, Edith picked up the teacup and blew gently, causing ripples in the tea. She brought it to her lips, but paused for a moment.
She thought for a moment, a faint light flickering in her deep eyes.
Then Edith gently put down the teacup and tapped the edge of the cup with her fingertips.
And just after this action, a mysterious woman shrouded in black mist appeared beside her, wearing black armor, like a messenger walking out of the darkness.
"Master, what do you want?" The woman's voice was low and respectful.
"Go and protect him secretly, he is very important." Edith instructed the woman.
"Yes, sir." The woman turned into a black mist and disappeared into the air in an instant.
Edith then picked up the teacup with confidence and drank the remaining half cup of black tea.
…
"Let's go to the Black Rose Ancient City now."
Su Xuan observed the sky. It was just getting dark, so it was not too late.
"Um."
Lucia nodded slightly, her golden-red eyes hidden under the white veil flickered slightly, as if she was thinking about something.
Just as Su Xuan was about to activate the teleportation array and head to the Black Rose Ancient City, Lucia suddenly asked, "Are you on good terms with the Lady of the Star Kingdom?"
"It's OK."
Su Xuan thought carefully about his relationship with Idaisi. As the succubus who created Ifusa, Idaisi was willing to tell him so much, more because of Ifusa's existence.
Lucia stared at Su Xuan, her tone full of doubt and concern, "How much do you know about her?"
Su Xuan pondered for a moment, then replied: "I don't know much about her, maybe not as much as I know you."
He only knew that Idaisi was a succubus who escaped from the abyss, and her people hated her to the core. In addition, Idaisi was the owner of the Star Calling Castle, the Red Maple Leaf Territory, and the Black Rose Ancient City, and openly supported a crown prince in his fight for the throne.
Of other things about Edith, such as her motives, he knew nothing.
After hearing Su Xuan's words, Lucia's eyes narrowed slightly.
Do you know me well? Then, she warned: "In that case, it is best to avoid relying on her power as much as possible. Her presence always makes me feel a little uneasy."
"oh……"
Su Xuan nodded, his mind full of thoughts. Lucia seemed to be suspicious of Edith. Was it because of the conflict between the Church and the devil?
Of course, he was definitely more inclined to Lucia, because Lucia was a member of the guild. Although Edith and Ivsa had a close relationship, they were two different individuals after all.
As the white light of the teleportation array flickered, he and Lucia arrived at the Black Rose Ancient City together.
Su Xuan was somewhat concerned about the environment of the Black Rose Ancient City. There was a faint fragrance in the air. In the center of the city, a huge black rose was blooming with a dark purple light, which was breathtaking.
"You two, please follow me."
Not long after Su Xuan and his companions arrived at the Black Rose Ancient City, a man in dark gold armor appeared in front of them. Su Xuan's eyes moved slightly, and he scanned the other person and obtained his information.
【Will (Elite)】
Level: 66 (500/33600)
Race: Human
Strength: 1550/Agility: 1352/Magic: 1344/Constitution: 1505 Growth: 8 (8 points of all attribute increase per level) Skills: (Expand)
"My name is Will, and I'm the current sworn knight of the Black Rose Ceremony." Will introduced himself to Su Xuan while leading the way. "I heard that you guys are here for the purple-robed priest, and I'm investigating this matter as well."
"Any clues?" Su Xuan asked.
"No."
Will shook his head and sighed, "The only clue we found was taken away by the supervisors of the Holy See. But this is the territory of the Lady Baroness, they are too reckless! They even killed several of our law enforcement knights! If I see them, I will make them stay in the Black Rose Ancient City forever!"
Su Xuan heard this and turned his gaze to Lucia. He noticed that there was a hint of coldness in Lucia's eyes, but this coldness was not directed at Will.
Soon after, the three of them arrived at the morgue of the Black Rose Ancient City.
The body of the purple-robed priest was placed in a separate room. When Su Xuan and the others walked into the room, a strange smell filled the air. This smell was not like a stench, but more like the smell of fermented grains.
"This is the body of the purple-robed priest, but it is unrecognizable now," Will said, pointing at the body in the morgue. The body had become a shriveled body, as if all the blood had been sucked dry.
This book was recently updated on ##六@@九@@书@@吧!! Update!
The first thing that flashed through Su Xuan's mind when he saw the corpse was that it was a vampire. But he quickly rejected this idea because the corpse was not only bleeding, but its fat and muscles had also disappeared without a trace, leaving only skin and bones.
"You guys investigate it yourselves. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Will didn't stay for long and turned and left.
Su Xuan carefully looked at the shrunken corpse, paying special attention to the purple robe. This purple robe seemed to be a little different from other purple robed priests, with a few crosses on the cuffs, as if it contained some special meaning.
"Lucia, what does the cross on the cuff mean?" Su Xuan asked Lucia.
Lucia explained: "If a purple-robed priest wants to be promoted to a golden-robed priest, he must pass ten assessments of the Holy See. This priest has passed six and only needs to pass four more to become a golden-robed priest of the Holy See of Light."
"So that's how it is."
After hearing this, Su Xuan understood the meaning of the cross on his cuffs.
The system of the Church of Light is divided into two factions: priests and supervisors. The priests are promoted from white robes, blue robes, purple robes to gold robes, while supervisors are promoted from black robes, blue robes, purple robes to red robes. The status of the gold-robed priests is equivalent to that of the cardinals, and they are both high-level managers of the Church of Light.
The deceased priest was only four tests away from becoming a golden-robed priest, which explains why the Holy See of Light attached so much importance to this matter.
Just as Su Xuan was thinking, Lucia's fingertips shone with golden light, and then floated on the surface of the corpse like an elf.
The golden light wandered on the surface of the corpse and finally gathered at the heart, emitting an extremely dazzling light.
A hint of anger flashed in Lucia's beautiful eyes, and then she quickly retracted her magic and said to Su Xuan, "Let's go."
"Um."
Su Xuan responded because he also saw the status information of the purple-robed priest.
【A corpse that died in the annihilation of light. 】
This purple-robed priest actually died at the hands of his own people!
Moreover, Lucia seemed to have known the identity of the murderer. In the Black Rose Ancient City, there were not many members of the Church of Light who could threaten the status of a purple-robed priest.
"I will leave this matter to the supervisor." Lucia said to Su Xuan.
"The relationship between the supervisors of the Holy See of Light and the Ancient City of Black Rose is tense now. It is not easy to solve this problem as soon as possible. Since we happen to be here, why don't we just solve this trouble directly? What do you think?" Su Xuan proposed to Lucia.
“…”
When Lucia heard Su Xuan's words, a hint of thought flashed in her eyes.
After a brief silence, she said, "Good suggestion, but I can't show up because of something, so you have to deal with the other party."
"I?"
Su Xuan originally planned to directly teleport Loselin and the others here, but Lucia asked him, the president, to do it himself...
"Don't worry, the opponent is not that strong. You are enough to deal with her." Lucia gently held Su Xuan's face with her jade-like palms and looked at him with eyes full of trust.
"OK!"
…
In the Bright Church in the Black Rose Ancient City, several nuns were praying devoutly. Among them, there was a nun who was different from the others. She had a graceful figure, beautiful appearance, and great strength.
"That concludes our nighttime prayers for today," she announced to the other nuns.
“Yes, Sister Serra,” they responded.
"Sister Serra, you have been the one who has been managing the church since the priest passed away."
"Yes, Sister Sera. We will definitely nominate you to be the administrator of the Black Rose Ancient City!"
The other nuns expressed their gratitude and respect to Serra.
"Thank you for your trust." Sister Sera responded with a smile, a hint of teasing in her eyes.
Bang! Suddenly, the door of the church was pushed open, and a tall and burly half-dragon appeared in the sight of the nuns, making them look terrified.
"Who is that?"
"A half-dragon?"
“Is he here seeking faith?”
