Chapter 133 The Secret of the Phantom Mask

In the Holy See, deep inside the magnificent cathedral, the cardinal was playing chess with another elderly bishop.

The two of them sat on two simple chairs, the table with the chessboard was also very simple, and there were no other young believers serving them.

Behind them as they played chess was a huge iron gate about five or six meters high, on which were carved religious stories of the saint's preaching thousands of years ago.

"It's your turn, Lord Kosander."

The old bishop moved his queen tremblingly.

"A few days ago, we received news from Mosesad that the investigator who was assassinated by our Saint's Sect is alive again."

The archbishop moved his soldiers.

"It's a good move, it's a good move.

They sent a signal that forced us to take action and lured us in. Their goal in this move was achieved."

“Sir Lorraine, you are still so steady in playing chess.

But I guess they didn't guess our covert arrangements."

"Don't underestimate the enemy. Anyone who can sit at a table and play chess must have his or her own strengths. In the Saint's story, the Ice Wind Giant was defeated by a young boy."

"Fortunately, we still have plenty of time. The mainland expo will not open for another two months, so we have plenty of time to find their loopholes."

"We can't be indecisive. Just waiting is not a solution."

"Don't worry. Even though Haverson and Roselis are a little...stupid, there is no doubt that they are loyal to the Saint. They also inadvertently brought back some useful intelligence."

"Oh?"

The old Bishop of Lorraine seemed quite surprised at the achievements of the brother and sister, and looked up at the archbishop in front of him with great interest.

"The bait that the Special Investigation Department used to lure us in, Investigator Ricky, I think that's his name, and he seems to be a rising star in the investigation department."

"The Archbishop means..."

"I heard that he will be promoted to captain in a few days. Considering the personal relationship between Prince Andrew and Sir Gregory at such an important event as the Continental Expo, do you think the Investigation Department might not get involved?"

Bishop Lorraine was about to say something when a hoarse growl suddenly came from inside the iron gate. The sound continued intermittently for a minute. At first it sounded like the howl of an animal, then slowly turned into the chirping of birds, and finally turned into the groan of a human. It was as if countless different creatures were locked up inside the iron gate.

"It doesn't matter. The Virgin Mary is just imparting knowledge to Her Excellency the Saint."

The two bishops seemed accustomed to the noise inside the iron gate, and after the noise stopped, they continued playing chess and chatting.

"So that kind of thing will most likely be handed over to the Investigation Department for protection and containment?"

"Nine out of ten times, this important task will naturally fall on the captain of the investigation department."

"By following Captain Ricky, we can find clues to that thing? Archbishop, you have a really good plan."

“Bishop Lorraine, did you let me do this on purpose?”

The Archbishop trampled the Queen of Lorraine with his horse, then stood up and stretched, seeming to feel that the outcome was decided.

"Archbishop, even without the queen, you have to continue playing this game.

In addition, should we be prepared for the possibility of disassociating ourselves from the matter if it doesn’t work out?”

The archbishop stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the scenery in the garden. What if he failed? He had never thought of this possibility. This mission could not afford to fail. If he failed, the prestige of the Holy See would suffer a serious blow.

Because that thing is related to the progress of the world's great geographical discoveries. The right to interpret this world has been firmly in the hands of the Saint Girl Sect for more than a thousand years, at least in the Western Continent.

The Holy Maiden Sect tells people what is good and evil, what is right and wrong. Everything from a grain of sand to the land and ocean is explained and recorded in the Holy Maiden Sect's scriptures. Every word in it represents the authority of the Holy Maiden Sect and will never be challenged.

So that thing must be destroyed.

"Are you sure you can follow Ricky? Since he's the captain of the investigation department, he probably has some capable helpers around him. Don't let him show his hand."

"It should be fine. Investigators have been dealing with gods for a long time, so there are always some problems here."

The Archbishop poked his temple:

"Besides, Harverson and his team have been spending time with Ricky these past few days and have discovered that he only has a child with him and has no colleagues around him. He must be a lone wolf."

……

At this time, in the basement of the Investigation Department, Millie Tang was fiddling with a pile of bottles and jars, all of which were labeled with labels she had prepared. In the morning, she quickly completed the mental evaluation and immersed herself in the study of the three ancient relics.

The first thing is the eyeball in the jar. This thing came from the followers of a certain god. After testing by Millie Tang, she found that it was very dangerous. When she first came into contact with it, she almost had her fingers corroded by it. However, its effect was relatively useless, so Millie Tang put it aside for the time being.

She didn't recommend Liu Yonglu to keep this thing himself. It would be better for him to exchange it for some useful resources from the headquarters.

However, after coming to the conclusion, she was also extremely grateful that she did not leave this thing with Liu Yonglu at the time, otherwise he would have stuffed it into his mouth, and the end result would have been that it dissolved in his throat and fell into his stomach.

The second item was a can of hair from an unknown creature. This thing was not too dangerous. After touching it, Millie Tang only felt her hand temporarily lose sensation.

Your hand is still there and you can control it, but you will intermittently lose the feeling of your hand and, as a result, the pain response and other reactions.

As for the effect... well, it hasn't been tested yet.

You can hold this thing in your hand and observe it first, but in Millitang's opinion, this thing can only be considered half an ancient relic at most. If it is handed over to a religious group such as the Church of Wisdom, after their transformation, it should be able to be perfected into a complete ancient relic, and then perhaps it can exert its full effect.

As for the last item, the Phantom's mask, after several days of research, Millie Tang has roughly figured out its price and function.

The price is just like when Liu Yonglu wore it before. The wearer and the people around him will automatically ignore its existence. Of course, this neglect is also related to the usage scenario.

For example, if the wearer wears a Phantom mask to a ball, it is estimated that no one will notice anything unusual even after wearing it for 100 years.

But if the wearer takes a shower with the mask on and is seen by others, they may be alerted.

By wearing this mask for a long time, Millitang guessed that she would hear the mumbling of a certain god. That god had millions of faces, and this ancient relic was made by him.

And its function is very interesting, it can control the wearer's inspiration.

In other words, the reason Liu Yonglu was able to communicate with the blackbird and understand the toad's speech that day was not because the toad had learned Tianjin dialect, but because he was wearing a mask.

But if it can increase inspiration, can it also reduce it?

Millie Tang thought about her special physique. Now every time she saw Xiaohu, she had to wear a nose plug. If wearing this mask could solve the problem, then wouldn’t it be suitable for her?

Looking at the white mask in her hand, Millie Tang fell into deep thought, and for the first time she had the urge to put it on.

Wow, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. I only remembered it yesterday when my mother gave me two boxes of mooncakes distributed by the company.

Anyway, I like to eat red bean paste and date paste.
