Chapter 48(1/2)
Acting wantonly
Such a declaration really has no power. It is obvious that the Holy Grail will be chasing Qiao during this period, and becoming a mortal enemy will only change the situation.
"But you were planning to kill him, right? It has something to do with his father."
Clayton was curious about the relationship between the Holy Grail and the Mani family, and Joe pricked up his ears. He still didn't know what was going on.
"I don't know much about the specifics, but the Mani family was once an agent of our church. It seems that they have some things they shouldn't have, and they threatened us to break away from the church in exchange for the price. We signed the contract,
If Joe Mani lives his whole life as an ordinary person, we will no longer disturb him. If he actively seeks extraordinary power, someone will kill him. But since he is not dead, it means that Clara has betrayed us long ago.
.”
Moore said lightly: "This incident has been widely circulated in our church, but until half a year ago, no one believed that Joe Mani survived, and they all regarded it as a joke."
"Why is that?" Clayton asked him.
"Because the judge at that time asked Clara to stay in his parents' house. As long as he saw her, he was exploring the extraordinary."
This is taking advantage of a loophole in the contract, and it's quite clever.
Clayton also began to wonder how Joe survived. He glanced at Joe and knew that Joe must not have listened to what he said next. This "destined victim" was meditating on the past, with tears streaming down his face.
Clara had seen Joe as a baby, which meant that they had been in the same room together, so there was no reason why the stupid spider shouldn't do something.
"Wait, who is Clara? You have mentioned her several times, and judging from the situation, it seems that I should know her?"
Even though I don't know these people, they look like they are easy to offend.
Seeing that Clayton didn't mean to force himself, Joe breathed a sigh of relief.
Clayton had not learned anything about parasitic demons from books. He tried hard to restore the image of the spider priest from Clara, thinking that those spider-leg-like things might be inserted into the neck of the corpse to control the movement of the bones, but at the same time he came to the conclusion:
"Then she probably doesn't have a good head either."
"Then there's still use for you."
When encountering such an unexpected situation, an old man in his early sixties already feels exhausted.
After being ashamed for the first time, Moore revealed the information about his mother without any hesitation.
"So, can Joe now play the role of a sacred object?" He was more concerned about what he could get now than Joe's family affairs.
These soldiers marched arrogantly past the tavern until they reached the door of the almshouse in the parish of Saint-Solotte.
He felt that the next question was not easy to answer.
"She's your sister, right?"
"You have met Clara. She is very similar to Athena because they are both parasitic demons."
Joe looked confused. He couldn't find any clues in his memory: "But I have never seen such a woman! Clara is a female name, right? I also heard you use 'she'."
"Do you know how to fix it?" Clayton asked him.
"Then what are you doing now?"
"She's the one who wants to kill you," said Moore, who was kneeling on the ground with his hands tied behind his back.
"Of course, of course." The dean nodded, feeling from the bottom of his heart that this was a normal thing.
The concierge came out to greet them respectfully.
Clayton patted his side with a paw: "You lie! I didn't smell her scent."
"Private matter?"
Can he still not know who the only son of the Mani family is?
Clayton planned to go back and ask her again.
"Because it's normal to do better than her."
"Eat her, or throw her into the steel furnace, which will kill her completely."
Clayton didn't think so, because he was originally a dark descendant, and this holy object was not of high value to him, but he needed to guide Moore to misjudge this.
He glanced at Joe quietly, then looked away.
"Even among dark descendants, there are those who have not been able to fully evolve due to the drag of their mortal bodies. As a descendant of a priest, her body and abilities have not been fully blessed after communicating with the fairyland, so she was used as a
I contracted the demon's body material to guard the Mani family's only son. And now."
"It's not that I want anything, it's that our people are missing here."
It was dark, but a long shiny snake was passing by on the street.
"You'll see her," Clayton told him.
"She watched you grow up," said Clayton, who was scratching the hair on his neck.
"Can she use someone else's body?"
Moore suddenly turned his head: "She is still alive, you didn't kill her?"
The pain in his face and neck reminded him that even if he didn't know, he should say he knew now.
"Good evening, Mr. Charles." The dean looked at the expressionless Charles, then at the twenty or so soldiers behind him, and thought in his mind: "What are you guys doing here? What does the council have?
News?"
"So what, she betrayed her oath to the Holy Grail. Even if my mother committed such a crime, she should be hung on a cross and burned alive."
Clayton licked his nose and thought of the little officer's head in the basement.
Joe broke away from the love left by his parents and stared at Clayton with wide eyes. He refused to get involved in this strange ritual.
"Then I don't want to do it yet."
"Theoretically, it's possible." Moore said, and he glanced at Joe: "But we haven't tried it with a living person. His spiritual intervention may interfere with the connection with the fairyland. But if he is alone, it will be easy to connect to the fairyland.
.”
"Lieutenant?"
God knows if these people were sent by the council.
Now that they have gathered the original whale placenta and another key to open the door to fairyland, it seems that they are not lacking anything.
"Your mother," he thought for a moment before saying the real name of the spider priest who replaced "Rosa": "Where is Athena now?"
"Whatever you think, but if I were you, I would try to check it out."
Charles pointed to the workhouse building behind the dean: "This afternoon, a woman contacted us. She claimed to be a worker here and took Rudolph to chat, but in the end they didn't come back. This won't work, soldier
Return to the team at night."
"I don't know, but she borrowed an identity."
"Clara is the alien. Don't think that the parasitic demon is like her." Moore's disdain for his sister was revealed between the lines, and Clayton noticed that he also called his mother by her first name, showing no respect.
.
The werewolf was surprised by his unfounded confidence: "But you are still a human, how can you be sure that you can do better than her in the future?"
In response to this question, Moore had his own set of logic to avoid it: "Nothing I know is confidential, so I can tell you everything."
Each of its scales is composed of soldiers holding lamps, carrying guns, and wearing cross armbands on their arms.
"There is no news from the council." Charles showed a stiff smile: "This is our private matter."
He couldn't remember any woman staying with him for so long.
"What I said is true! She used someone else's body!"
A normal soldier has never interacted with the workhouse, but because he is a member of the Salvation Army who also believes in religion, he still recognizes the leading officer.
Only those with hope will work seriously.
Moore answered without hesitation.
The young man tried his best to lean his upper body back. The wolf's head, which was almost half the size of his upper body, was very oppressive and continued to spray out hot air.
Maybe Clara really betrayed the Holy Grail Society, or maybe she just couldn't bear to do anything to the baby.
"The purpose of our visit this time is just to see the sacred object. Even without the key, it can allow us to admire the glory of fairyland. Unfortunately, the sacred object has been destroyed." Moore cursed in his heart and left teeth on the placenta of the original whale.
Although the seal existed, he did not dare to complain outright: "It has some gaps. Although it can be repaired, it will definitely not be used now."
"It's unfortunate that you're here. She's been gone for a while."
Clayton felt Moore had no right to accuse his family.
"I can't kill her."
Clara only had one head left, and she couldn't do anything to Joe when she saw her, and there was a greater chance that she wouldn't be able to recognize Joe.
Clayton almost laughed because of this funny man, but Moore's thinking made it convenient for him:
He tried to remain serious: "So tell me, where might Athena go?"
After all, the dean is not an officer of the parish council, but just a lower-level manager. He can work without leaving the house. Therefore, he knows little about the actions of the Salvation Army, but he has heard about the relatively extreme preaching methods.
They are the Salvation Army.
