Soul echo

Chapter 304 News
"...That's right, there is indeed a foreign object in Master Paul's brain."

The chief mage advisor of the Blois family let out a sigh of relief, nodded to the Earl of Blois, and confirmed Zhong Ye's guess.

As the mage consultant of the Blois family, this mage is naturally Paul's 'acquaintance', but he usually lives in a steeple of the castle and rarely leaves.

After the abnormal situation happened to Paul, the Earl of Blois immediately thought of 'disease'. Therefore, instead of disturbing the study and research of the mage consultant, he called the clergyman.

Of course, even if a mage consultant is recruited, the mage may not be able to find the reason for Paul's abnormal situation, because his main study is not the "life school".

Zhong Ye stood aside and suddenly asked, "On the physical level? Or on the soul level?"

The mage advisor looked at Zhong Ye curiously, a little surprised that he could ask such a question.

"It's on the physical level." The mage consultant pointed to his own brain, "There is something in Master Paul's brain."

Zhong Ye nodded, and looked at the second son of the earl who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, "That is to say...'parasitic'?"

Hearing Zhong Ye say this term, the expression on the Mage Advisor's face could no longer be described as 'surprise', but more like seeing something strange.

This is not a word that normal people can learn. How can the adventurer in front of him know?
After finishing speaking, Zhong Ye turned his head and explained the meaning of 'parasitic' to the Earl of Blois, and the earl frowned more and more.

"Who the hell? How dare you do such a thing!" The Earl of Blois clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

"I don't know yet, but after taking out the foreign object in your son's brain, we may be able to find some clues." Zhong Ye shook his head, and then looked at the mage advisor of the Blois family, "Mr. mage, may I ask you?" Can you take the foreign object out of Paul's brain?"

"Of course, it's just that I need to make some equipment and drill a hole out of Master Paul's head."

As he said that, the mage advisor looked at the Earl of Blois and asked, "My lord, do you allow me to do this?"

The Earl of Blois frowned deeply, thought for a long time, and then nodded with a sigh.

"Then I will make preparations now." The mage consultant bowed to the Earl of Blois, "I will be ready in about half a day. Before that, I will ask the Earl to help Master Paul shave off his hair, but it is still possible You don't need to shave too much, a fist-sized section is enough."

Afterwards, the mage advisor left the room.

The Earl of Blois withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhong Ye with great emotion in his heart.

Before, he suspected that Zhong Ye would bring bad luck to him and his family, but he didn't expect that Zhong Ye not only did not bring bad luck, on the contrary, he also made it possible to 'cure' his son's abnormal condition.

"Your Excellency, this is not a place for conversation, please come with me."

The Earl of Blois smiled and invited Zhong Ye to leave the room.

After walking out of the room, he told the servants waiting outside the door to ask someone to shave off part of Paul's hair.

Although the mage consultant is also someone Paul knows, in order to ensure that the inspection can go smoothly, the Earl of Blois still let the mage consultant use a spell to make Paul fall asleep.

Now the Count of Blois sent Paul to wake him up, let him have an early dinner, and shaved his hair by the way.

After all, 'treatment' does not know how long it will last.

After giving the order, the Earl of Blois turned his head to look at Zhong Ye again, "Your Excellency, it's afternoon and it's not time for dinner yet, would you like to sit in the library with me?"

Zhong Ye thought for a while, then nodded slightly, "Yes."

The Earl of Blois smiled, and led Zhong Ye to the castle's library.

The library is located in the outer room on the fourth floor of the castle, with good lighting. No matter where you sit in the library, there is enough light for people to read books.

Zhong Ye came here with the Earl of Blois with the intention of inquiring about news. Although the old mage and Mrs. Pereira had already helped him inquire about the traces of "Nemo's painting", Nemo was only before the age of 16. , created hundreds of paintings, and after becoming a believer in the Lord of Joy, he should create more, and then stuff things that can pollute the human spirit into the paintings.

"Peco, bring me the book I didn't finish last time."

After arriving at the library, the Earl of Blois sat down on the sofa by the window and invited Zhong Ye to sit down at the same time.

Hearing the earl's voice, the cat man who was dozing in the nest opened his eyes, stretched himself, and stretched his limbs to find the book that the earl hadn't finished reading last time.

The cat people have flexible feet and can easily jump to places that humans cannot reach. Therefore, the Earl of Blois raised a litter of cat people in the castle to help clean and manage the castle.

'Peko' is the administrator of the library, but usually no one will come to the library, this job can be said to be quite leisurely.

In addition to paying commissions, the owners of cat people also need to help them find a marriage partner—after all, cat people are not native species, and their ability to survive in nature is not strong, so they can only coexist with humans, while cat people in cities The number is not very large. If the cat people want to keep their group alive, they can only turn to humans for help.

Not long after, a catman in servant clothes came out from between the bookshelves holding a book and handed it to Count Blois, "Sir, this is your book."

The Catman not only found the book, but also turned it to the page that the Count of Blois had seen earlier.

The Earl of Blois took the book, laughed, and raised his hand to stroke the cat man's head.

"Meow, master, I'm already six years old, I'm an adult cat person, you shouldn't touch my head."

Hearing the catman's protest, the Earl of Blois laughed and withdrew his hand.

After the earl let go, the catman ran back to his nest as if he had run away, lying on the edge of the cat nest, staring at the earl of Blois vigilantly.

"It's cute, isn't it?" Count Blois shook the book in his hand, with a smile on his face, "Every time I play with them, it makes me happy for a long time."

"It's really cute." Zhong Ye nodded in agreement.

He didn't hide his purpose at all, and asked directly: "My lord, during this time, I would like to ask you, do you know any noble houses that have paintings of 'Nemo' in their collections?"

"Nemo?" Count Blois raised his eyebrows, "Are you talking about the Nemo who was identified as a cultist?"

"Yes, it's him."

The Count of Blois put down the book in his hand and recalled it carefully.

A few months ago, Nemo was a sought-after master because he hadn't painted for a long time, and there were rumors that he had closed his pen, so, five years after his last painting came out, the price of his paintings has been increasing. soaring.

And he was identified as a 'cultist', which meant that the value of those paintings plummeted.

The Count of Blois remembered that a dozen or so nobles had complained to him about these things during the past few months.

But who those nobles are, he can't remember clearly.

Although he didn't know what Zhong Ye wanted to do, the Earl of Blois told him the few names he still remembered because he helped him save Paul's future.

Hearing these names, Zhong Ye matched the families represented by these names with the map in his memory, and suddenly frowned.

The fiefs of these families seem to be in the central and eastern part of the Gaul Kingdom, and their original itinerary was all the way south to Castile.

But it doesn't matter, they can search for these territories in the central part first, and then go south. At the same time, they can inform the priests about the nobles in the east who may have Nemo's paintings, and let them deal with them.

In this way, everyone is happy.

Zhong Ye silently wrote down those names, then laughed, and talked with the Earl of Blois, waiting for the night to come.
