Lando looked at Laurel calmly. Although the other party took good care of him during this period, Lando never forgot his purpose. At most, he could save his life in the end as a reward.
Feeling Lando's unconcealed plain gaze, the frightened Laurel gradually regained his composure and stopped talking.
Seeing that several people were not talking, Claire immediately broke the calm and said, "Tell me about the 'hidden cult'."
When they arrived, Lando and Claire had simply exchanged information.
The gray-robed man and Laurel remained silent.
"Tsk, trouble!"
The soul-chasing undead emerged and rushed straight towards the man in gray robe. The man in gray robe looked frightened and tried to dodge, but unfortunately his body was frozen and unable to move.
The reason why Claire chose the man in gray robe was, firstly, because the man in gray robe had a higher status and might know more information, and secondly, he understood that the relationship between Laurel and Lando was not simple and would give Lando more face.
The gray-robed man who was attacked by the soul-chasing undead first let out a short scream, and then lowered his head like a walking zombie.
After only a short while, the man in gray robe stiffly raised his head and said in a mechanical voice: "Master...man..."
Claire is very satisfied with his soul-chasing undead. It has many special racial talents. After he modulated it with the knowledge of the school, it can cope with many situations, such as absorbing the target's breath for long-distance positioning and tracking, and such as
Obtain the complete memory of the target soul by devouring it.
The only pity is that its strength is a bit weak, so its intelligence is not high, and its autonomy is not strong. Even if it devours the target's memory, it still needs to ask its own questions. It is not like a mature subordinate at all.
"Tell me about the identity of this person you devour."
Claire frowned. He could have communicated with the soul-chasing undead through his mind, but because of Lando's presence, he had to endure this intermittent answer in order to be honest.
"What is the strength of the 'Dark Cult'? What level is above the controller?"
"The 'Dark Cult'... whose strength is unknown... the one who controls it..."
As they asked and answered questions, Claire and Lando gradually gained a clearer understanding of the so-called "hidden cult".
The men in gray robes don't know the specific strength of the 'Dark Cult', but they know that its potential power is very large. Many big figures in the Imperial Court have secretly joined it. Above the controller is the 'Bishop' level. At this level, only legendary powerful or powerful people can join it.
Only those with extremely distinguished status can serve. Above the 'Bishop', there is also a mysterious 'Archbishop'. As far as the gray-robed men know, the 'Dark Cult' was founded by this 'Archbishop'.
In addition, they also learned the identities of three 'bishops', one of whom was a teacher at the Central Academy, another was a big shot in the imperial court, and the third was surprisingly Prince Jige.
Each 'bishop' has his own subordinate team. The 'bishops' are not subordinate to each other, but they occasionally cooperate. They all obey the orders of the 'archbishop'.
The man in gray robe is one of Prince Jig's subordinates.
In addition, I also learned about many secret strongholds of the ‘Dark Cult’, most of which belonged to Prince Giger.
Seeing that the question was almost done, Claire took back the soul-chasing undead. As the latter left, the man in gray robe fell to the ground and turned into a mummy like a shriveled balloon. Apparently, the soul-chasing undead not only devoured his soul, but also
Everything including essence, energy and spirit was absorbed.
"What's next? What are you going to do?" Claire asked Lando.
Good question, I also want to know what to do next!
"Originally, I wanted to lurk around the prince and slowly pry for information. Now that you've done this, even if I go back with three other unlucky guys who don't know anything and pretend not to know anything, there's no way I can get away. After all, the four of us
Your status is too low, and it seems that you need some special credentials to open the teleportation array. How did you get here?"
"Oh? Me, I came here by myself along the space veins after your teleportation. I have a pretty good talent in space." Claire said calmly.
It turns out that I came here along the 'network cable'...
"I have no choice but to give up my current identity. I have spent so much effort in vain."
"What about him? Let him go. After all, I haven't been exposed yet. I can still go back to the academy. There is no need to run away like you." Claire pointed at Laurel and said.
Lando: I really want to hit someone!
"Do you have any way to erase his memory? After all, I have taken care of me for so long, so at least I can save his life."
"My soul-chasing undead has this ability, but it is too weak now and its intelligence is not very high. If you don't control it well, it may erase a lot of memories, and the sequelae will be more serious. Is that okay?"
Before Lando could speak this time, Laurel said: "The 'Dark Cult' is very powerful. Do you really think you two can deal with it?"
Claire was too lazy to answer Laurel's question, but Lando said calmly: "It doesn't matter how strong you are."
Seeing that both of them did not take the 'Dark Cult' seriously, Laurel thought for a while and said: "As far as I know, there are at least ten 'bishop' level experts in the 'Dark Cult'.
Either they themselves are at the legendary level, or they are as noble as Prince Jige and can mobilize the power of the legendary level, and the 'Archbishop' is even more powerful. It is said that he has surpassed the legendary level, not to mention that they have enshrined a real statue.
……god!"
"Beyond the Legend?" After hearing Laurel's words, Claire also showed interest: "Even the person in charge of the gray robe doesn't know this, how do you know?"
Claire was a little bit ready to make a move, and wanted to let the soul-chasing undead eat Laurel to see if what he said was true or false, or if he was hiding other secrets.
Seeing Claire's thoughts, Laurel had already expected this possibility, and still said calmly: "What I just said is all I know, and this may only be a small part of the 'Dark Cult'
Strength, what can you... use to fight against it?!"
"It's a bit tricky to surpass the legend. As for the others, they are just rubbish and not worth mentioning." Claire said.
"If we really encounter it, we will naturally have ways to deal with it. Senior Laurel, what do you want to express after saying so much?" Lando also asked.
Laurel took a deep look at Claire and Lando, and finally took a deep breath and said, "I will join you, as long as you agree to one condition."
Claire showed a playful smile: "Join us? Well, tell me your conditions first."
"No matter what the final result is, I hope you can let Prince Gig go!"
