Chapter 89 Chapter 89 Putting aside this erotic painting...
A second before Borat pounced, Lin Miao picked up the unconscious person again and placed the sapphire dagger on her neck.
After separating from Reis, she went straight to Capet Manor; when she saw that the entire main castle was protected by a powerful and complex magic circle, Lin Miao knew that her guess was right.
She admitted that Borat had been very thoughtful. A magic circle protecting only the main castle would be less vulnerable than one covering the entire manor.
Unfortunately, he met Lin Miao, who had been an "undercover" and had explored the manor with Daisy in all directions. In the end, he was still one step behind.
Lin Miao activated his powerful king skill and punched the ground beside the manor's fountain. Sure enough, he saw the tunnel leading to the Capet couple's bedroom.
With the help of thorns and sleeping charms, she easily tied up Titis as a hostage to threaten the archmage.
"After disconnecting... the target's 'Absolute Domain' will persist for a period of time."
Beelzebub's grey eyes lit up when he saw Lin Miao, but he didn't forget to remind her of the most important thing. "Make him withdraw."
They couldn't afford to gamble on whether the Fourth Prince's army could hold out until the residual power wore off.
"Eliminate the effects of the spell." Lin Miao narrowed his eyes, a cold expression in them. "Or, lose Titis."
Borat was forced to stop three steps away from Lin Miao, dark red blood smearing the corners of his lips. His eyes never left the unconscious woman. "I forced myself to perform the domain technique... Once I started... there was no turning back."
"Oh?" Lin Miao shrugged regretfully, "It seems you chose the second one."
The sharp blade pressed into the woman's fragile neck, and at the moment blood oozed out, Lin Miao heard the hoarse and desperate voice of the great wizard.
"……etc!!"
His eyes turned bloodshot, and his right hand trembled as he touched his chest. "Although I can't withdraw the spell immediately... I can give you my heart—the remaining spiritual energy inside is enough to form a barrier to support it until the expiration date."
"Let Tittis go, and I'll trade my life for yours."
"OK……"
"I don't agree!"
The sharp and shrill female voice drowned out Lin Miao's answer, shaking the window frame.
The pain of the dagger piercing her flesh brought Titis back from her coma. Lin Miao held the woman's body tightly, and she was only half a step away from having her aorta cut.
Lin Miao could feel her disordered heartbeat and fear of death, but she still shouted out her opposition fiercely and loudly.
"Ted," Titish murmured, ignoring the tightening blade and the blood gushing from her neck onto her black skirt. "Have you forgotten what I said? If I can't gain supreme power, I would rather be burned into ashes and scattered by the wind than be a living soul in the shadows, ignored by everyone."
"But I want you to live!!!" Borat's handsome face was twisted in pain, his white hair disheveled. "You also said that we shared sins, thirty years of seclusion to atone for our sins, thirty years of suffering in dire straits. You said that we would reach the end together and face the judgment of God together!!"
"That's just a pretext to take advantage of you!" Tittis interrupted harshly, "I've been using you for thirty years, and you're still so stupid!"
"If you still listen to me, then live for yourself, Ted." She closed her eyes and said to Lin Miao indifferently, "The loser will be buried in the dust. It's up to you."
Lin Miao's palms were sweating. Just as he was about to provoke the great wizard, he heard Borat's calm voice, which even contained a hint of laughter.
"Since you've already said you're using me and I'm nothing but a fool in your eyes, why should I listen to you?"
"Titis, I don't owe you anything."
In the small top-floor space, all the spiritual energy instantly swept towards the white-haired man.
The spiritual power gathered and condensed into a silver arrow - Lin Miao didn't know if it was an illusion, but the arrow seemed to be exactly the same as the one hanging on the wall of the Cape couple's room - and suddenly pierced his chest.
The blood and spiritual mist mixed together and soaked through the clothes.
Amidst Thetis's almost heart-wrenching scream, the man could no longer hold on and knelt on the ground. As if he was unaware of the pain and the rapid ebbing of his life, he calmly took out the heart and threw it at Lin Miao's feet.
"I hope Miss Miao will show mercy and spare Titis's life."
Lin Miao slapped the sleeping charm back on Titlis and was about to signal Beelzebub to take the heart. Hearing this, he narrowed his eyes and said, "You really do know me."
"Although Borat didn't witness the famous Demon King a hundred years ago, he has heard of him." The man lost his heart and relied on the little spiritual power he had left to maintain consciousness, his breath barely hanging.
He saw Lin Miao let the man with dark green hair take the heart to the battlefield for support, and let Titis go as he was told, and he smiled sincerely.
"Actually... I've always... admired you. The Devil King descends upon the world... and is feared... but you..."
"But you, there are so many...you."
"What did you say?" Lin Miao didn't hear clearly. She frowned anxiously, "Do you know something else...? Tell me!"
Borat looked at her, shook his head, and just smiled: "He won't stop... You have to be careful."
His lips moved, and the last bit of spiritual power completely dissipated into the air.
The president of the Bright Association, who had been brilliant for the first twenty years and confined himself to a small circle for the last thirty years, the great wizard whose true face she had speculated about several times but had only seen today, breathed his last with a smile in front of Lin Miao.
“…”
After solving the problem of domain magic, the mages and the army that lost their attack power are no longer a threat. It is only a matter of time before Alwen takes over the royal city. However, the whole process from noticing something wrong, learning about the magic, kidnapping hostages to successful threat was too smooth. Lin Miao always felt a little uneasy.
Just like the old saying goes, “Misfortunes never come singly.” Troubles always like to attract more people. When one is solved, another one comes.
Lin Miao was a little concerned about what Borat said before his death.
She knew that the God of Light would not stop, otherwise she would be so busy because she loved to be busy. What she was really curious about was why he knew her identity and that turning point - "But you have so many..."
Borat has definitely had contact with God, and her identity can be explained as the information He must pay to exploit humanity, but "so much"... ?
Lin Miao sorted out the logic.
Judging from the conversation between Borat and Tittis, the person "Mrs. Capet" cooperated with should have been Borat from the beginning to the end; then the role of Klopp and others is obvious - an eyeliner and a mouthpiece.
He must have spies in the palace.
Could it be information obtained from "Lemu"?
But considering that person's cautiousness, how could he be eavesdropped or peeped on if it was not his own will?
Lin Miao placed Thetis in a corner of the Tower of Light. With an inexplicable thought in mind, she didn't return to the three-headed dog or look for her subordinates. Instead, she teleported alone to the sacrificial spire in the palace that had been ordered to be built by the oracle.
This tower does not strictly conform to the aesthetics of heaven.
Most of the buildings in heaven follow the beauty of roundness, with dome-shaped glazed bodies. Many buildings of the Jingyu Temple and the Society of Light are built in imitation of this. However, the towers of the palace have pointed tops, with a vague Gothic style, which is more like the architectural preference of hell.
The eldest prince occupied the palace, which was under martial law and the gates of the tower were also closed. Not wanting to attract patrolling guards, Lin Miao climbed in through a side window.
As soon as her toes touched the ground, she frowned.
Martha had warned before that the aura here was strange, and at that time they all agreed that there was a remnant of a monster's soul in the spire.
But according to her weak perception, he should be pressed underground—
But this was still on Earth, bustling with people, and not far away stood a statue of the God of Light and several angels. Even a human like her, without any special abilities, could feel the chill that penetrated deep into her bones. Wasn't this a bit disrespectful to Heaven?!
Lin Miao's eyes quickly scanned the scene inside the tower, paying special attention to the statues, and stopped in front of the angel statue in the corner.
These three pairs of wings... the middle pair seems to be a little off...?
It's a little bent, and the white paint seems to have peeled off a little, revealing the stone's original grayish color.
Lin Miao reached out and pressed the upper end of the wings, exerting force with his fingertips.
With a "crackling" sound, the stone wings unexpectedly dropped three inches. The angel statue also shifted slightly, and the wall that had been blocked was facing Lin Miao, and a secret door slowly emerged.
Again... ?
How many hidden doors and secret basements are there in the Holy Continent waiting for her to explore...?
It would be better to have something real, she thought, helplessly holding the sound transmission mirror in her palm and walking into the secret passage behind the wall.
...It is an identical twin of the passage behind the Red Lotus Palace.
It also goes all the way down into the ground, with luminous pearls on both sides guiding the way. The final place is also decorated with marble mosaic floors and arched porches, and the hanging crystal chandeliers and intricately patterned tiles complement each other.
Seeing the murals here, Lin Miao even had a strange sense of relief that "very good, all the elements are in place, except for one decline".
However, compared with the six reliefs in the Temple of Pure Feathers, there are only two on the left and right sides of the Capet family's basement, and the number of murals under the spire continues to shrink and is pitifully small.
There is only one.
A painting about three meters long and two meters wide...
“…”
What's this.
Lin Miao's pupils were tsunami.
She asks you, what is this? ! !
The owner of this mural, do you dare to look into her eyes! ! !
In the picture, the female figure is wrapped in a black robe, with only her neck and a pair of white hands exposed below her face; she is half lying on a chaise longue, her long hair spread out like seaweed, her eyes lowered lazily, her lips slightly parted, as if uttering soft words.
In sharp contrast, a young man with silver-white hair that dragged on the ground was half-kneeling beside a chair, his holy robe falling to the ground, revealing the beautiful lines of his back and his lean yet powerful waist.
Behind him, three pairs of snow-white wings were fully spread out.
Only half of the young man's face is revealed in the picture, with a gentle expression, rosy cheeks and enchanting blue eyes; the other half of his face is buried in her chest, as if he is trying hard to absorb air.
His right hand clasped her waist, his slender fingers sinking into her black robe, while his other hand was tightly intertwined with hers, presenting a posture that was both possessive and strangely pious.
To be fair, Lin Miao believes that the mural has soft lines, hazy colors, and a great light and shadow atmosphere, making it a rare masterpiece.
...Aside from the fact that the woman's face in this huge mural, which could be called a pornographic painting, was exactly the same as hers.
