Roland stretched out his left hand and looked at the fingers of his left hand blankly.
I saw five slender fingers as white as jade, and the second knuckle of the middle finger was lightly branded with a thorn-like black mark.
After waiting for a long time, Roland didn't notice even the slightest tingling sensation, and the corners of his mouth curled up in pleasure.
As a chosen person, if he does something that the gods don't want to see, his left middle finger will start to throb and the black mark will tighten.
That was torture from the soul. It wouldn't make his fingertips congested and necrotic, but it would cause seven times the pain.
This represents the penalty for "breach of covenant".
But now, Roland uses the baptism of the Sleeping Mentor to hypnotize Claudia - this kind of unabashed behavior of harming his colleagues has not been punished by the Sleeping Mentor.
This means that she does not reject it, and even approves of it.
"Maybe this is why the fight between the dead crows was so severe..."
Although Roland escaped unexpectedly, this sounded the alarm in his heart.
He must become the Pope of the Dormant Mentor. Only in this way can he form an armed force that is loyal and powerful enough to intervene in the kingdom's strategic situation in a short period of time.
But if Roland really becomes the pope, how to restrain these unruly group of death crows will be another difficulty. After all, the Everlasting Mentor doesn't care about these things at all, so in what name can he intervene?
...However, let’s not talk about what happened next.
Roland took his hands back and looked at Claudia, whose eyes were blank, and the smile on his face gradually faded.
Claude's threat to Claudia is obvious... The top priority is to get this matter settled quickly, and then go to the White Tower to join Esther immediately.
Roland and he had already made an agreement before. Esther needed to take the blame for Roland for a period of time. To put it simply, it was to let him walk in the White Tower as Hellan or Orlando and lure away some people with bad intentions to Roland.
human gaze.
For example, the Goddess of War sect is about to form a deadly feud with Roland.
You know, Roland has never been a generous person.
Now that Claudia has completed her baptism, Roland has taken it for granted that Claudia is his.
He is currently short of people, even if he adds Kakarit, it won't be enough for him to make a big fuss.
It was rare to meet someone with such good acting skills who was also pleasing to my eyes. How could Roland let her be killed by that old man Claude?
To put it bluntly, on the one hand, there is a young and beautiful girl with rich wealth and wit, and on the other hand, there is an old man whose hands are stained with the blood of heretics and innocents... Even if Roland has no subjective inclination towards either party, he still has to create a very subjective character.
personal preference.
So, how could Roland let Claudia die so useless?
No matter what...it's better to be a friend.
Thinking of this, Laura couldn't help but reveal a rather pleasant smile on her face.
Roland had previously tested Claudia's obedience, logic, memory and reaction to things she didn't understand under hypnosis, and obtained results that satisfied Roland.
"Do you remember how you got here?"
"I don't remember."
"What's the last image in your mind?"
"Captain Macon smiled and waved to me."
"Have you ever left the team?"
"No."
Without warning, Roland asked Claudia questions at a very fast speed.
Claudia just followed Roland's question and answered quickly, but Roland frowned slightly.
……wrong.
That "Laughing Macon" is undoubtedly the enemy of Kabbalah.
But if Claudia never left the team, then whose footprints are those of Claudia?
After thinking for a moment, a flash of light flashed in Roland's mind. He couldn't help blurting out: "It's the enemy of Kabbalah!"
That's right... If Claudia was brought here directly by the enemies of Kabbalah, she would not have left any footprints.
But that's not right - how did she lose her bracelet in the wild?
"How many silver bracelets do you have in total?"
"Two. Lost one."
"When did you lose it?"
But Claudia's answer shocked Roland: "I lost that bracelet when I was six years old."
... Damn it, sister, don’t scare me.
And were your wrists that thick when you were six years old...
But after thinking about it, Roland understood: "Is this an heirloom of your family?"
"yes."
That's not surprising.
But then again, why is a hereditary viscount’s heirloom a pair of broken silver bracelets?
Roland could tell that there was absolutely no magic circle on the bracelet. There was no blessing from the gods. It was just an ordinary silver bracelet, and even the workmanship was not very fine.
However, this is not the point——
"Who taught you witchcraft?"
"elder brother."
"So. As a wizard, why can you cast magical spells?"
"My brother gave me a bracelet that deceives gods. He said wearing this will do it."
...What is the Deception Bracelet?
Roland looked confused.
Roland has seen most of the equipment in this world, but he has never heard of any equipment with this name.
He realized the importance of this issue and decided to delve deeper into it.
"What does that God-deceiving bracelet look like?"
"It's made of crystal wood, very beautiful, with divine patterns engraved on it."
"What magic can you perform?"
"Inspire, light and stabilize injuries."
Together, you know the three magic arts, miss.
Wait a minute——
Roland's heart skipped a beat, and an idea quickly formed in his mind: "Did you know these three magical arts from the beginning?"
"yes."
"Can you feel the presence of God?"
"cannot."
"Are there any restrictions on how you can perform these magical spells?"
"Each magical spell can only be used three times a day."
"ha……"
Roland chuckled.
He has already determined it.
It's just an enchanted piece of equipment.
But on the other hand, how did an enchanted piece of equipment deceive so many people for so many years?
No, wait...
"Are you wearing a God-deceiving bracelet now?"
"I keep it close to my heart every day."
"Don't you think this thing looks like enchanted equipment? As a wizard, don't you even have this bit of discernment?"
"But...it was a gift from my brother."
Claudia's tone was as childish as a child's, but Roland couldn't help but choke.
Suddenly, his mood became much worse for no reason.
What made Roland feel even worse was a terrible thought that vaguely formed in his mind.
"Claudia, give me your right hand."
Roland reached out and took her outstretched right hand. The cold and soft touch made Roland raise his eyebrows.
...This child is really very cold.
He reached out and lifted up Claudia's sleeve, revealing a simple silver bracelet.
"Oh……"
Roland raised his right hand, revealing the bracelet on his wrist, and compared it carefully——
...is a pair.
Suddenly, Roland's lips pursed tightly, and his expression became much more solemn.
"Are you sure your brother is here?"
"I'm sure. My brother used a code word that only the two of us know...but dad and the others just don't believe me and won't let me come."
Poor Claudia...
It's not that your father doesn't believe you, it's because he believes in what you say so much that he doesn't dare to let you come.
Roland sighed deeply.
It was obvious that Viscount Crowley had felt something was wrong these days.
If nothing else happens, Claudia's brother Edward is most likely not being disguised as a species of Dusk, but he himself has had a close connection with Dusk a long time ago. It is even possible that he himself is an enemy of Kabbalah.
uncertain.
Moreover, Roland was 80% sure that "Edward" was nearby at this moment - possibly even in Luther Town.
Claudia can't be too far away from Roland now. Otherwise, if she encounters Claude when she is alone, she will not be able to think of a lie that can cover the emblem on her head with her eloquence and knowledge.
.
But if Claudia is with him, what should Roland do if he meets Edward?
"What do you want me to do... Claudia..."
Roland murmured. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels are better and updated faster! For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
