Abduct the Necromancer

Sherlock was taken aback.

Miller sighed, "The organization of the Two Snakes is dedicated to collecting Yaozi, and using Yaozi's unique talent to 'create' powerful subordinates. The previous pope found out about this, and he secretly organized some people to grab Yaozi's unique talents Bring Yaozi back before Zhang makes a move to prevent Yaozi from becoming their prisoner."

"Sounds so nice, so the Holy See wants to use this to cultivate powerful subordinates! Hmph, your Holy See said on the surface that demons are evil and you want to kill them all, but privately keep them in captivity !” Sherlock sneered.

"Nonsense!" Miller showed a trace of anger, and when it came to faith, he also put away his usual gentleness, "Even if the Holy See really wants to do something to Yaozi, it is to kill them all. What kind of captivity, what kind of secret organization, that is what the Holy See will do things! Don’t go too far!”

A trace of coercion leaked out unconsciously. To Miller, it was just a negligible amount of power. However, as the pope, at such a close distance, even a trace of coercion was enough to make the little mage flustered and depressed. Almost out of breath.

Sherlock's face turned pale, but he still stubbornly said: "You have been lying to me all this time, who knows if you are lying to me now! You clearly know that I care about this matter, but you don't tell me anything! Whatever you say, you are Opponent of the Two Serpents, since this is the case, why are you afraid to tell me the truth!"

"I—oh, I really don't know how to tell you." Miller felt bitter in his heart, "If I tell you that one of my organizations is the opponent of the Two Serpents, do you want to ask again? Why does the Holy See, who has been suppressing Yaozi, save them? Why do I, a guardian knight, have a mysterious organization? What is my identity? How can I tell you that I am the Pope?"

"Why can't you say it!"

"I told you, wouldn't you leave immediately?"

Sherlock said angrily, "I'm also going to leave now, and you still held me back!"

Miller laughed back angrily, "I held you back, and then I left so many things here and tried to explain to you, but you scolded me and didn't believe me—in this case, why don't I just I didn’t let you know from the beginning? Anyway, the two snakes were destroyed in the end, and you took revenge. Isn’t everything settled?”

"I—you're making excuses!"

"Just take me for a quibble."

Sherlock was speechless.

He couldn't help but admit that what Miller said was reasonable, but it was hard for him not to be angry. The sad feeling of being deceived by a person he thought he could trust could not be easily eliminated.

"Let's go! This is not a place where you can stay for long!" He picked up Sherlock and walked out of the thirteenth floor.

Taking Sherlock back to the room on the eighth floor, seeing the little mage bowed his head in silence, Miller thought for a while, and broke the silence, "Since you already know the secret, let me tell you the whole thing about this organization." .”

Sherlock looked up at him now.

Miller told all the things he knew, "The double snake emblem's method of dealing with Yaozi is very cruel, and they don't treat these children as human beings at all. After the previous Pope sent people to rescue these Yaozi, because the Holy See could not take Yaozi , so they were all placed outside, brought up like ordinary people, and taught them magic and martial arts.

"Over time, there are more and more Yaozi, and they gradually grow up, gradually forming a small force. In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, they will wear silver masks when they go out. You can call them silver-masked people. Silver-masked people are The product of the previous pope's private actions has nothing to do with the Holy See. When the previous pope passed away, he handed over the silver-masked man to me, and hoped that I would lead the silver-masked man to continue to fight against the double snakes."

Sherlock felt that something was wrong, "The former Pope trusted you so much?"

Miller's eyes darkened, "He is my biological father."

"Ah... I'm sorry." Sherlock knew that the previous Pope died of illness.

"It doesn't matter." Miller smiled lightly, "The appearance of Katya a few years ago brought serious damage to the silver-masked man." Speaking of the strange young man, his face became uneasy, "Katya's real age is not older than At the age of 25, he became a senior magician at the age of 20 at most, but he has not yet been promoted to a magister.

"Although the total amount of his magic power has not progressed in the past few years, his magic control power has become increasingly terrifying. According to my guess, he can silently cast magic below the advanced level, and he can also cast some weaker advanced magic instantly. Also, his martial arts skills should not be underestimated! Now the signs of him breaking through as a magister are becoming more and more obvious, I can't think of a year, he may be on another level!"

Topics that make people uncomfortable make the atmosphere even more dull.

After being silent for a while, Sherlock asked sullenly, "Then what have you found out about the Two Serpents? Do you know where their lair is?"

"No, but..." Miller seemed to hesitate for a moment, "I probably know that their lair is in Pei Ze... Before the Silver Mask and the Two Serpents fought several times, the clues all point to Pei Ze, but every time they trace There is no more. I suspect that there is a secular noble supporting behind, alas, the silver-masked man is still not strong enough."

"Then when will there be news?"

"How can you be sure..." Miller smiled wryly, but under Sherlock's persistent gaze, he had to reveal some more information, "The news came from the Dolanfa family yesterday that a manor found in the outskirts of Pei Ze may be related to They are still considering whether to launch an investigation on this manor.”

Sherlock's eyes widened immediately, "Why not? Of course!"

Miller patted his head, calmed his nervousness, and explained: "Xia Rui, this matter is not as simple as you think. The double snake emblem is secretive, and we finally found the clues. We are all afraid of rashly Actions will scare the enemy. Neither the Silver Mask nor the Doranfa family are good at concealment and spying, and we are wondering if there is a surefire way.”

Sherlock said angrily: "There is no perfect solution! You are not good at it, but I am good at it! Necromancer magic is the magic that is best at hiding! If you don't do it, I will do it!"

"Xia Rui, don't do stupid things! You are just a senior magician..."

"What's wrong with the senior magician? How many of your silver-masked men are magisters? Don't use this excuse to stop me!" Sherlock couldn't help getting excited when he mentioned this, his voice trembling, as if facing what a frightening thing.

"I'm going! As soon as I close my eyes, Mona is covered in blood! I can smell the blood when I drink water! Thinking that I can't do anything, everything depends on If you do it, I won't be able to sit here with peace of mind! I'm going, I have to go! Mona died for me! I can die for him too!"

This extreme remark made Miller's expression very ugly. He said in a deep voice, "Are you willing to die for him? Did you ever think about my feelings when you said this? I have been good to you and done so much for you. Not to see you die for another man!"

Sherlock was also not happy, "I didn't ask you to treat me well! You want to reciprocate—you find someone else to love! I am not worthy of you, His Majesty the Pope!"

"You..." Miller was stunned for a moment, and suddenly sneered, "Okay! Okay! Okay!"

He said good things three times in a row, each of which was colder and more serious than the last.

"You don't care about me at all, do you?" Miller said angrily, "You don't want me to be nice to you, okay, you go, do whatever you like, I don't care! Who do you want to die for?" I don't care who I die for!"

The merciless words pierced his heart like a sharp knife, Sherlock pursed his lips, and said sharply: "Just go! You don't care, and I don't care!"

He walked away angrily, Miller turned his back and didn't look at him, his handsome face was extremely cold.

With a loud "bang", the door closed heavily behind him, and the sound of hurried footsteps gradually disappeared outside the door. Sherlock left without stopping.

After the bang, there was a terrible silence. Miller stood motionless for a long time before sighing softly.
