Dominate the world in three weeks?

The deceased in the second murder case was a girl living in a civilian area. The cause of death was exactly the same as that of Mary. There was no wound and no murderer.

This strange way of death quickly spread fear to every corner of the civilian area, and people panicked for a while, even the nobles were shocked.Some people think that this is a new type of infectious disease, and even proposed to close the civilian area of ​​the imperial capital, but it is said that in the parliament hall at that time, the proposer was severely reprimanded by Her Majesty the Queen.

When Terrence heard the news at home, he closed the notebook in his hand. He asked Adam, "The church must be busy all the time, right?"

"In fact, they took out a kind of spring water that was blessed by the magic of light, and advertised that it can get rid of filthy diseases, and distributed it to the people for free, attracting many commoners, and even some nobles were mixed in."

Terrence sneered: "The reaction is really fast."

He picked up the notebook again, wrote something casually, and then asked, "Is Angus still running to church recently?"

"No, he's been staying quietly in the house for the past few days and doesn't come out very often. I heard from the servant that he is specializing in spells." Adam shook his head, "I asked someone to check in the house, and it seems to be the case."

"He's as keen on the situation as ever..." Terrence leaned on his forehead and said in a low voice, "Forget it, it won't hurt him to be honest these few days. Let others watch, there is no need to restrict his actions, but he Where you go every day, you must be clear."

Terrence finished his order and picked up the cloak beside him.

"I don't recommend you to go out at this time, young master." Adam said with a frown, "Maybe this is really a terrible disease, you have to think about your own safety."

"I have to think about something else, Adam." Terrence said while buttoning his buttons.

He walked out of the living room and saw Lancer standing at the door.The blond knight saw him coming out and took a few steps forward.

"If you want to say that I shouldn't go out, then shut up." Terrence glanced at the gloomy weather and said casually.

"I mean, if you're going out, please take me with you."

Terrence turned his gaze back to Lancer and smiled, "I'm very happy."

He tightened his cloak and put on his hat: "The weather is not very good today, let's go quickly and come back early."

Today's weather is indeed not very good. The afternoon is when the sun is shining brightly, but now it looks extremely gloomy. Rows of high-rise roofs look like the scales of dead fish, revealing a dry lifelessness.

Some floats were still parading around the street, but the number of onlookers was more than half less than yesterday. The musicians tried their best to play cheerful music, which on the contrary set off the impetuousness of people's hearts.

Terrence and Lancer walked through the long street, and couldn't help sighing when they saw this scene: "Even this ghostly weather is here to join in the fun, this year's Wanhua Festival is not enjoyable."

Lancer asked, "Where are we going now?"

Terrence looked back at him: "The Public Security Bureau."

"I'm really sorry, Your Excellency the Duke, we are really busy now, and it is difficult to spare time to entertain you."

Aaron Xiao frowned, straightened his back and looked at Terrence, who came to visit suddenly. He held the documents in his hand, and his eyes showed that he wanted to join the busy colleagues behind him immediately.

It was the first time that Terrence was so obviously disliked, but it was hard to feel uneasy about the other party's inflexible character.

"Of course I know you're busy, Chief Xiao Zhi'an, that's why I came here in person—" Terrence looked around, walked to the sofa and sat down. "Ask you for the report of the first deceased, you will not forget this matter?"

The wrinkles between Aaron Xiao's brows deepened. He handed over the things in his hands to the subordinates who passed by, and walked across from Terrence reluctantly.With his hands on the table, he said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, you must know that there is a second murder case in the imperial capital. At this time, no information will be released casually. You are indeed very important in the school. ability, but right now -- outside of school, it's not a place where you can play around."

"It seems that I have been taught a lesson?"

"This is a suggestion, Your Excellency. If you hear something else from it, it is the attitude that I must express in my duty."

"Thank you for your suggestion, Chief Xiao Zhi'an." Terrence nodded reservedly, "But I don't think it's wrong for a nobleman with a title to care about the death incident that shocked the imperial capital. I Are you always worried about your own life?"

"Of course, you are not the only one who has concerns, but I will not hand over the results of the investigation because of this-in fact, Her Majesty has ordered a secret investigation on this incident, I hope you will not make it difficult for me .”

Terrence and Aaron Shaw looked at each other for a few seconds, he blinked, and shifted his eyes to the window in a compromised way: "Dark clouds are beginning to gather, it seems that I can only give up convincing you today."

He stood up and put on his hat: "In this case, I can only put my confidence on your ability. In such a troubled time, I hope there will be no more troubles."

Terrence bid farewell to Aaron Shaw and walked out of the gate of the Public Security Bureau. He waited for a while leaning against the statue of a scale taller than a man, and a dark golden flash suddenly appeared from the side alley——Lancer walked quickly walk up to him.

"I didn't expect that I would do this kind of thing one day." The blond knight brushed his messy hair and handed a paper bag to Terrence.

"No way, who told our venerable sheriff to be too righteous? I guess he won't let go easily." Terrence pulled out a stack of documents from the paper bag.

"He will find out in a while, what should we do then?"

"How did you take it out, and how did you put it back in?" Terrence said while browsing quickly.

Lancer showed a helpless expression: "Do you want me to climb the wall again?"

"Otherwise, what do you think I asked you to come out with me?" Terrence patted Lancer's shoulder with the document, "Dear Mr. Knight, those who are capable will work harder, so please work harder."

Twenty minutes later, a young man opened the door of the file room and found the materials he had just put in at the door.He looked around the room in surprise, and found that there was no trace of the magic circle being touched, so he could only quietly put the things back in place in fear.

At the same time, Terrence and Lancer had passed through three blocks and arrived at the church not far from the civilian area.

"There are no wounds, no poison, and no magic elements left in the body—it looks like a new type of disease, what good explanation can there be?" Terrence looked at the door of the church carved with thorns and flowers, and whispered.

"Then the disease came at an inopportune time," Lancer said.He also knows that this year's Wanhua Festival has an important political role, but now it is self-defeating, making the people even more panicked.

"Coincidence itself is a suspicious point." Terrence said softly, "I really hope it's not what I thought."

"what?"

Terrence raised his head and glanced at Lancer, and changed the subject inexplicably: "Do you know what the teaching flower of the Church of Light is?"

Lancer saw Terrence pointing to the three-meter-high gate.

"It really looks like a bone weed."

"Is it an extinct ancient magic plant?" Terrence raised his eyebrows, "It only appeared in the book, and I have seen the pictures. But this flower is indeed a close relative of the bone weed - the pure flower that blooms on thorns. The flower of the flower - of course this is what the church says, the thorns represent all sufferings, and the flowers represent the pure soul above the sufferings... To be honest, I only see aggression from that plant. This is what I hate the most about the church They always like to whitewash the peace, even if the wound underneath is bleeding."

When Terrence said this, he didn't criticize the church subjectively anymore, because he walked in directly with Lancer.

The large church was full of people, and in the face of fear, the difference in status was irrelevant.Just like what Adam said, these people who seek comfort from the church are also mixed with a few noble ladies and lords in public.

To be honest, Terrence was not surprised to see a lady here, but even some noble gentlemen who should have foresight were standing here, which made Terrence's mood not so good-although it must be To a certain extent, it also covered his appearance.

On the pulpit directly in front of him, a priest was muttering a mantra, and the silver basin filled with clear water in front of him was gradually glowing white, which caused some people to cover their mouths in surprise, with expectant looks in their eyes.

Terrence sat on the last row of seats and watched for a moment, and a person stood beside him.

"Hello, Your Excellency. I didn't expect you to come here."

The tense teenager's voice made Terrence turn his head, and he realized that the boy on the right was someone he knew, and the freckles on his face and dark brown hair were familiar to him: "Are you...A friend of Angus? "

"Jack, sir. My name is Jack."

"Hello, Jack."

The young man showed a shy smile: "I didn't expect His Excellency the Duke to come to the church, do you finally want to get close to the church's faith?"

Terrence choked for a moment, and said vaguely: "I have been disturbed by what happened in the imperial capital these two days, so I came here to take a look."

"I hope the God of Light can bring you peace of mind." An old voice suddenly broke in.

Terrence looked up and found a priest in white robes had walked in front of him.He gave Jack a loving look first, and said, "Dear little gentleman, have you come to listen to God's instruction again today? Pastor Matthew will explain your doubts to you, go quickly."

Jack nodded, apologized to Terrence, and hurried forward.

"Your Excellency, the Duke, is really disappointed to come here." The old pastor showed an apologetic smile, "As you can see, we are busy dispelling the anxiety of the bewildered people, so please forgive me for being the only one to entertain you."

"Where. Since the church was built, I haven't taken the time to come and have a look." Terrence turned his eyes around the pastor's chest, "Are you the bishop here?"

"You may call me Sidney, sir."

"Okay, Bishop Sidney. Then please relieve my anxiety. Do you have any insights into these two death incidents that have caused a sensation in the imperial capital?"

"You're asking me, Your Excellency. I'm not omniscient, but I'm just doing my best to pray for everyone's peace."

……

Terrence finally came out of the church, letting out a heavy breath.The other party's words were impeccable, and it was difficult for Terrence to find out anything from him. He even mentioned the matter of Joey Abant.

An old fox who does not leak his flaws.But Terrence felt intuitively that he was not unrelated to this incident.
