"Your Highness, everyone, do you feel anything abnormal in your body?"
Selt slowly landed on the ground, with deep golden eyes, examining Govington and his group. Although he was not in charge of the sealed object team, he had been exposed to quite a few sealed objects, and he knew that the effects and negative effects of some sealed objects were not only
It is only triggered upon contact and may last for a period of time.
Govington is also an Extraordinary of the "Arbiter" path. Although he is only Sequence 6, he can still check himself easily. After confirming that he is fine, he will pay attention to his wife, daughter, sister, and Audrey.
Princess Mary is an ordinary person, she just hugged her daughter Charlotte tightly, her eyes were red, but the little princess was very courageous, her face was red, and she was a little excited. She obviously regarded it as a great adventure. And Austria
Delly calmly comforted Caroline, who was usually very courageous but was now a little frightened.
She could also be like Caroline, but she was worried that Major General Gutierrez, who had just been in the same situation as them, would discover some of her little moves. And her identity as the daughter of Earl Hall was enough for MI9 to ignore her as an extraordinary person.
, so it would be better to simply behave differently.
"That sealed artifact shouldn't be of the kind that will have subsequent effects."
Gutierrez, who also escaped from the trap, put the dagger that smelled so strong and nauseatingly of blood back into the scabbard on his thigh and strode over.
As a victim and a demigod, his words are obviously more convincing.
"That's good……"
Selt also breathed a sigh of relief, forced a smile under his mask and said to Govington:
"Thanks to Your Highness, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to react."
Govington was stunned for a moment before he remembered the strong idea that suddenly surged in his mind before the attack and acted on it, but it was only half a step too late. And Selt's intention was obviously to prove that this half step made him have it.
Only through preparation can you finally save yourself.
This made Goving get rid of the shock and anger just now, and even temporarily ignored Selt who showed his kindness to him.
Audrey, who was comforting Caroline, looked up at Selt in surprise, then lowered her head in confusion and continued to comfort Caroline and Princess Mary.
Another demigod who was responsible for guarding and fighting "Dark Saint" Kosma also flashed to Govington's side. Unlike Selt and Gutierrez, he was a demigod sent by the royal family.
Just as he was about to speak, Govington, who became extra confident after receiving recognition, looked around and pointed to the steam train track a few hundred meters away:
"Let's go back first and talk about the rest later."
The three demigods looked at each other and nodded.
When they returned to the train, they found that half of the car they were in was empty, with only half of the carpet left, and a big hole in the roof. But when danger could come at any time,
Covington and his party had no choice but to take temporary refuge in another carriage that was not so luxuriously decorated and was specially designed for senior servants to rest.
"Think thump... thump thump..."
The front of the car spit out steam again and started running wildly on the rails.
"The ones attacking us are the Aurora Society. One is the 'Saint of Secrets', who is suspected to be the 'Mystic Mage' of Sequence 4, and the other is the 'Dark Saint', who is also a demigod and the 'Black Knight' of Sequence 4."
Selt, who had the greatest credit in the attack and also had the highest status, rubbed the ring on his right hand. The mask on his face had been taken off, revealing facial features that exuded mature charm.
"As for that sealed object, there is no information on MI9. But it can make a demigod lose most of his ability to resist in an instant. It should be a '0' level sealed object."
Unlike Selt, Gutierrez did not take off his mask. After listening, he just added lightly:
"I will add some impressions of this sealed object to the database later."
"I will also look for relevant information in royal documents."
The royal demigod pushed up his glasses. He was probably in his fifties, with thin cheeks, a pointed chin, and a goat-like beard. He seemed to have thick phlegm in his throat when he spoke.
"Is there no follow-up retaliation?"
Covington touched the embryonic beard around his mouth and sounded a little dissatisfied. He initiated this conversation. If it was just what the three people said just now, what meaning would it have to him?
"Your Highness, most of the Aurora Society's power in Backlund has been wiped out. The two divine envoys in charge there have died. As for the rest of the country, searching would be too energy-consuming."
Selt patiently explained, causing both Gutierrez and the royal demigod to frown. In fact, if it weren't for Govington's warning before the attack, he wouldn't have directed them after the attack.
Any opinions or opinions will be ignored.
As long as it is ensured that Govington and his party can return to Backlund safely, there will be no problem even if they are temporarily offended.
Being a demigod is enough to ignore many political issues.
"Is this the end of it?"
Facing the goodwill released by Selt, Govington softened his tone a lot.
Selt and Gutierrez turned their attention to the royal demigod. The other party thought for a while before saying:
"After we return, we will contact the three major churches and conduct a large-scale pursuit of members of the Aurora Society."
This kind of matter can only be led by the royal family. MI9 is not yet qualified to directly connect with the three major churches. At most, it can only conduct joint operations with the archbishop of a certain diocese.
But Govington has also been dealing with politicians since he was a child, so he is naturally very familiar with this kind of perfunctory speech, but he can't say anything. After all, he is not the crown prince yet, not the "Prince of White Rose", and there is no big deal.
power, otherwise there would be no need to attach importance to defecting to Lucerne. He is just an ordinary member of the personnel team.
However, being able to receive Celtic's goodwill can be regarded as one of the gains of this trip to Ma Xi.
But Govington still pretended to be dissatisfied, threw his hands and left the small cubicle.
The royal demigod had no choice but to follow him to avoid a secondary attack that had a low chance.
"You want to place a bet?"
Gutierrez, who said only one sentence from beginning to end, looked at Selt who put on the mask again, his voice was flat.
"Is there any other choice? I don't have much time..." Selt pressed his mask and pointed outside, "Why don't you go and fulfill your duties?"
After Gutierrez left, the corners of Selt's mouth curved up. The bet was made, but people like Govington were really not worth betting on.
If it hadn't been for that person who thought it was not the right time, Govington would have died in the attack just now without even having a chance to serve.
…
"Thank you for your help, I will collect more Russell's diaries for you."
In the bathroom, Audrey prayed in front of the mirror. Her small bag was placed on the sink in front of the mirror, and the "Hand of Fear" in the shape of a black gauze glove was placed inside.
The mirror was suddenly filled with illusory fog. Sitting on an ancient high-backed chair in the center of the fog, the Fool, whose face could not be seen clearly, said in a familiar low voice:
"Be careful when using that sealed item."
"Hands of Fear"?
Audrey looked at the small bag on the sink in surprise. She originally thought that Mr. Fool borrowed this sealed object to exert his power, but she never thought that this sealed object itself also had special characteristics.
Is it related to the problematic "craftsman" under Ms. "The Hermit"? She subconsciously thought of the tacit dialogue between "The World" and "The Hermit" at the previous tarot meeting.
There will be a Tarot session in a few hours, and you can consult Ms. "Hermit" then.
