"It's finally built." Eleanor said as she hammered the last nail on Fire Island.
The girls had had many arguments about the purpose of Fire Island, but in the end the richest one won - since Nora paid for all the building materials, Eleanor and Peggy had to give in.
The prototype of the manor has been roughly finalized on the design drawings, but there were some stumblings during the construction process, and we even had to rework and waste building materials several times.
Finally, we finally got the house in front of us - a tall and beautiful wooden house with two floors. The girls' bedrooms are on the second floor, and the living room, dining room and foyer are on the first floor.
To the right after entering the door is the kitchen, where you can cook food. To the left is the storage room, used to store various equipment, potions, trophies, and supplies necessary for life.
From a living perspective, this double-story wooden house is enough to meet everyone's living needs.
However, in Nora's plan, it was only the entrance house to the entire manor.
The entire frame of the wooden house has been built, and there is no interior decoration at all. The demi-plane characteristics of the Fire Island mean that running water should not be considered, but temporary power supply can be considered.
By the time the girls moved the purchased furniture into the wooden house on Fire Island, it was already late at night.
"Asker and Mia haven't come back yet." Medea said playfully, "Maybe the two of them are dating somewhere."
Nora frowned silently, and then heard Eleanor arguing with her:
"How is that possible! How old is Mia? Don't you think it's childish and ridiculous to say such a thing?"
"Ah~" Medea seemed to deliberately oppose her, her green-white fingers slightly touched her chin, and she said as if thinking, "But I heard that some men just like underage little girls..."
"Shut up, Medea." Before Nora could speak, Paige had already spoken coldly, "Pedophile? This is ridiculous. How could Asker be such a pervert?"
"Oh, do you know him very well?" Medea rolled her purple eyes and said with a smile as if in amusement.
"Of course, I was the first to follow him," Peggy said.
"What's the earliest?" Ask's figure emerged from the air.
He looked at the beautiful wooden house in front of him with a somewhat stunned expression: "How could it be built so quickly?"
………………
At the end of the sewer, the two of them encountered a barbed wire fence with electric police. So Ask teleported back to Hearth Island in advance, while Mia escaped into the shadow realm.
Then take out the insulating pliers you have prepared and cut the wires one by one.
Cutting the barbed wire in the Shadow Realm will not cause any changes to the barbed wire in the main plane.
Instead, the cut barbed wire gaps in the Shadow Realm will gradually expand and reunite as time goes by, and finally be completely synchronized with the main plane again.
Therefore, Mia quickly and smoothly cut a gap for passage without triggering any alarms.
After passing through the barbed wire and climbing out of the sewer from the shadow world, Mia found herself in a courtyard, and the surrounding colors also changed to gray with different saturations.
She moved quickly through the shadow realm, nimbly weaving between corridors and passages, bypassing the moonlight outside the window and the light cast from the room.
Suddenly, she stopped in her hurry. Because in the corridor in front, two guards were questioning strangers, and the light of the flashlight blocked her path.
"It's me." The stranger took off his hood and sighed helplessly, "Do you recognize me?"
"It turns out to be Ms. Yu Moguan." The two guards saluted quickly.
Since they were sent here to guard by His Majesty Zoe, they would naturally not fail to recognize the ink officer who was following His Majesty Zoe, Ms. Varomina.
"Who is this behind you?" one of the guards asked, shining the flashlight behind her. The guy was also wearing a hooded robe, his face was covered under the hood, and his head was lowered.
"She is a relative of mine." Varomina replied calmly. "She was seriously ill when she was a child and her face was disfigured. So I sent her to the monastery. Don't you want to check her appearance too?"
"No, no, no!" the two guards waved their hands and said.
In this world, one of the most notorious disfiguring diseases is hot gangrene. The virus attacks people's facial skin and causes large-scale ulcers. The pus is also highly contagious, so people almost avoid people with disfigurements.
.
Zoe and Theodora once had a sister named Eudocia. She was disfigured due to a disease she contracted when she was young, and was sent to a monastery by Emperor Constantine.
This is true for princesses of a country, let alone the children of ordinary people. Those with good conditions are sent to monasteries to serve God, while those with poor conditions are abandoned directly.
Because of this, the two guards almost hurriedly moved out of the way, allowing Varomina and the disfigured man to continue moving forward.
Mia in the shadow world took the opportunity to dive and jump, passing through the flashlight beams of the two guards, and landed lightly on the ground.
"Even so, you don't have to 'worry' about her." After walking some distance, Varomina suddenly spoke, lowering her voice and said, "The 'care' she receives is extremely strict, and no 'accidents' will happen.
"
"I'm just 'curious'." The person behind Varomina also lowered his voice and replied, "After all, there is someone who is 'looking after', and anyone with 'evil intentions' cannot succeed. I just want to
I just went to pay my respects to His Highness."
If Ask were here, he would definitely be able to tell that it was the voice of the captain of the guard, Michael - although at this time, this guy had already been kicked out of his position by His Majesty Zoe and no longer held any official position in the palace.
"That's right." Varomina turned her head slightly and gave her a look that said, "It's good if you understand."
Mia in the shadow world listened to their conversation and was confused and didn't understand it at all. However, she noticed a certain word the other party said, which was "evil intention."
Aren’t you talking about Aske and I?
Mia had a keen intuition that these two guys were actually communicating in code words.
Since everyone has evil intentions, maybe they all have the same goal. Let’s take a look first and then talk about it.
Following the two of them to the depths of the monastery, Varomina and Michael came to a room at the end of the corridor and suddenly stopped where they were.
Mia also stopped - her spiritual intuition told her that there was some kind of danger lingering at the door of this room. Once she stepped in, she would be exposed even in the shadow world.
"Your Excellency." Varomina took out the imperial edict from her sleeve, "According to your Majesty's decree, I came to visit Her Royal Highness. Please withdraw from the reconnaissance barrier first."
The dangerous attention extended out, checked the imperial edict in Varomina's hand for a moment, and then slowly shrank back - this demigod from the church did not carefully check Varomina's identity and the clothes around her.
Figure in robe.
The main reason is, of course, because this imperial edict is true.
Another reason is that I heard that the Orthodox Church held a cardinal meeting this morning, and the Patriarch expressed concern about the rapid expansion of Seljuk pagans in Anatolia. Therefore, regarding the palace coup launched by His Majesty Zoe,
He also changed from an indifferent observer at the beginning to a cautious and conservative attitude.
Maybe Her Royal Highness the Purple Princess in the room will sit back on the ivory bench in the Golden Palace in a few days.
At this time, it would not be a wise move to obstruct others from meeting her by treating her like a prisoner.
That dangerous spirituality has gone away! It’s exactly what Asker said! Mia was immediately stunned. The demigod monitoring behind the scenes was indeed letting off steam!
With a complicated psychology of fear mixed with luck, Mia stepped into the room from the shadow world.
The result was still as Asker said, the demigod behind the scenes maintained the most basic respect for the person imprisoned in this room, so he did not cover the entire room with spirituality.
Sitting in the room was a stunningly beautiful girl who was about 17 years old. Simply sitting by the bed gave people the impression of being of extremely high status.
At this time, Theodora was not wearing a veil, but was wearing a thin nightgown. Therefore, the moment Mia saw her appearance, her eyes were firmly attracted.
What a perfect face it was, it almost made Mia feel ashamed of herself.
When she came back to her senses, she saw that Varomina and Michael had quietly exchanged information with Theodora and left the room.
Theodora stood up from her chair and looked out the window melancholy, with an expression that was simply heartbreaking.
They have already left, and they must act quickly as planned, otherwise the demigods will turn their attention back at any time!
A thought flashed through Mia's mind instantly, and her body started to move.
Escape back to the main plane!
Theodora, who was unable to react in time, was sent to Hearth Island!
Escape back to the Shadow Realm! Then run, run, run, run, run!!!
She ran with all her strength almost lifelessly. About a minute later, a spiritual storm suddenly broke out in the entire monastery.
"The demigod discovered it!" Mia thought almost in a state of dismay, and quickened her pace to escape.
In the main plane, Varomina and Michael were walking in the corridor, when a figure wearing Orthodox robes suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Stand there and don't move!" the church demigod said coldly, once again using his spirituality to inspire the magical items around him, and frantically searching the entire monastery.
To be precise, it is a monastery on the main plane.
"Your Excellency, we..." Varomina suddenly became very nervous.
If Her Majesty Zoe discovers that Michael was brought into the monastery by her, then her "betrayal" will be completely confirmed.
"Shut up!" the church demigod shouted angrily, casting his sharp gaze at Michael.
"Take off the hood, hurry up!" he ordered hastily.
Hearing this, Michael had no choice but to take off his hood, revealing the face of the captain of the royal guard. The church demigod stared at his face and scanned his whole body with his spirituality, and his expression suddenly became strange.
"You two stay here! You are not allowed to go anywhere without my permission!" the church demigod ordered. He scanned the monastery on the main plane again without giving up, but still did not find any suspicious faces.
His right hand reached to his waist and held a gold pendulum.
Start scanning the nearby subconscious ocean.
On the other side, Mia had returned to the sewer, passed through the gap in the barbed wire fence, and began to run wildly.
After a few minutes, she finally found the entrance she came from and climbed out with great skill.
Then he escaped back to the main plane of reality and left this alley like flying.
At the same time, the church demigod's search finally made a discovery: in the shadow world, his full field scan found something strange underground - the electric police barbed wire in the shadow world had been cut.
"Damn it! The enemy took advantage of the material synchronization delay between the shadow world and the main plane!" The demigod came to the sewer without hesitation, held and activated another magical item in his left hand - a certain hourglass as black as ink, and began to
Area scanned by shadow circles near the monastery.
With his right hand, he took out his cell phone and quickly dialed an emergency number.
Just 10 seconds later, a huge translucent annular wall made of extraordinary power suddenly emerged on a circle with the monastery as the center and a radius of 1000 meters, completely separating the inside and outside of the circle.
No living body, spiritual body or even mental body can pass through this wall.
Its isolation effect is so simple and crude that it immediately causes a certain degree of chaos.
On the road, the night bus was driving very fast, carrying the passengers inside, and hit this translucent wall at a speed of 25 kilometers per hour.
The car passed through the wall smoothly, while the passengers inside turned into lifeless flesh and were smeared on the back of the car's back seat.
In a nearby apartment building, an unlucky guy got up in the middle of the night and was using the bathroom. As a result, the bathroom entrance was blocked by a translucent wall and he couldn't get out.
He wasn't the most unlucky... On a circular line with a radius of 1,000 meters, there were about a dozen unfortunate guys. Since the bed they slept on was located on the circular line, the moment the wall appeared, their bodies were cut into two.
Half.
If it weren't for the fact that it was late at night and most people were sleeping at home, I'm afraid it would have caused even greater chaos on the spot.
