The Exorcist Boy: The Book of Conviction

Chapter 63 Suspiciousness
From this point of view, it seems to be the killer sent by Astor. After all, Adele is now the only one who is theoretically qualified to inherit.

But this throne has already fallen firmly under his ass. With the strong support of the Vatican, no one can shake this position.
Adele was no longer a threat to him, and she was still a dying person.

But why are they sending out killers in such a steady stream?

Snow looked at Adele suspiciously, for fear that the matter was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

killer, assassin...

Behind such despicable behavior, there must be an ulterior purpose and motivation behind it.

Such as excluding dissidents, such as conflict and hatred, or... concealing and silence.

Does Astor have anything to hide!
Of course, this guy is a despicable hypocrite. In order to steal the throne, it caused such a big consequence. Because of his actions, the two countries were almost razed to the ground, and the casualties were countless.

However, he gained the support of the Central Office through the exchange of benefits, and his actions were clearly investigated and even recorded by the religious order.

In other words, this is his handle.

He became such an obedient dog because he was firmly held by the sect.

Because of this, his position is unshakable. Even if he is exposed, he will be forcibly suppressed by those red robes because of the lightness of the exposed person.

In some cases, the Vatican, which represents theocracy, is equally astonishingly powerful in the upper class.

Taking 1 steps back, even if what he did was made public, the upper class nobles would not believe it, and the common people would just take it as a joke.

It is impossible for the Vatican to come forward and explain to the public about the "Earl of the Millennium" and the "Demon", which is a key issue that will cause turmoil in the entire society.

As for the other insiders of the Allies, it doesn't matter, the Pope has the strength to appease them, not to mention that nothing happened to them.

But why did he continue to assassinate Adele so persistently? Obviously, as long as he waited until the "Holy Judge", he would be completely at ease.

"There's a problem here."

Snow frowned. He felt that behind the whole incident, there seemed to be a layer of black mist covering something.

Because on the surface, what Astor wants to hide, there is no need to hide it at all.

Snow closed his eyes, and began to carefully recall the experience of meeting Astor before. The other party must have other problems, but they were just hidden.

And it is precisely because of this that he continues to carry out assassination activities against Adele. What does he want to hide?
Before, he tried to conceal that he had assassinated the enemy prince, which was the root cause of the incident, but he was shaken out by the adjutant assistant... and so on.

Thinking of this, Snow suddenly realized that something was wrong, why didn't he notice it before, this information was too simple to know.

An assistant to an adjutant was able to understand such suspicious information in such detail, but Astor put him on the side of himself and others to take care of him.

Whether it was a mistake, or it was done on purpose, now that I think about it carefully, it is doubtful!

In the final analysis, if Astor really paid attention to this loophole, he would definitely treat them very seriously, and it would be impossible to keep any relevant insiders by his side.

Snow could not believe that he would not seriously consider the entourage around him for such a grand event as attending a prince's funeral.

In this way, the other party revealed it to him on purpose...and put his handle in the hands of the black sect.

It also established a greedy, hypocritical, and selfish image of a real villain for the religious order.

In this way, the black religious order will think that this person is easy to control, after all, the other party is already in their hands, and he has donated a large amount of benefits, and he put on such an obedient look ...

But then again, what does this have to do with Adele? Could it be that Adele has seen his true face?
true colors?
Thinking of this, Snow's eyes lit up. He felt that he might have grasped something crucial. He hurriedly turned his head to Adele who was covering the quilt for his maid.

"By the way...Adele, do you have any clue about these assassinations, or do you remember anything unusual about Astor?"

"Uncle? Something unusual?"

Adele wrinkled her small face and began to think seriously. Speaking of which, there were indeed many abnormalities in the palace for a period of time, but she had been living a carefree life all along, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

In her impression, since Uncle Astor was transferred back from the border, he seems to have been a little unhappy, but the other party didn't show anything special.

Then the war broke out, Uncle Astor was transferred back to the front line, and then his father died, Uncle Astor came back to attend the funeral with his father's body.

Funeral... Thinking of this, Adele suddenly clapped her little hands. She remembered the weird ceremony that her grandfather asked her to attend. Speaking of which, it should be considered abnormal.

On the day of my father's burial, although my grandfather was very sad, he seemed to have some strange expectations.

That night, she was called into the black room by her grandfather alone, saying that there was a ceremony to communicate with her father who had returned to heaven, and to call back his soul.

All you need is for your loved ones to say a sincere and affectionate call to the container that has been prepared, and then you can bring the dead relatives to your side again...

Although Adele followed suit, nothing like what grandpa said happened, perhaps because she didn't really want her father to come back from the bottom of her heart.

After all, that person has always been a stranger to him, and he seldom even talked to him. For Adele, his two closest relatives are only the dead old housekeeper and Phyllis.

Although the Grand Duke also likes her very much, it is just a general feeling of taking care of the younger generation. She is a girl, and she is not taken seriously in the whole court.

But Adele has never lacked love in it, because she has Phyllis.

"What...you actually did a soul-calling ritual to create demons?"

After hearing the other party's narration, Snow's pupils shrank in shock, and he almost picked up his [Sacred Demon Slayer Flame].

But the other party was undoubtedly a real human being, so she didn't succeed in calling her father's soul.

It turns out that that kind of ceremony can fail!

"Is that the step to create a demon? If I succeed..."

"Then it will be you who becomes a demon, and your father's soul will be bound to that mechanical container because of your call, and then he will kill you under the order of the Earl of the Millennium.

Then put on your flesh and blood, become your appearance, and mix in human society. Your father's soul will also be bound in it, and will never be freed. "

Snow mercilessly stated that cruel fact, but fortunately Adele's call failed and did not receive a response from the soul.

This is also strange, it seems that there is not much real affection between their father and daughter, and this is the first time Snow has heard of such cases of failure.

That's why the Grand Duke of the Rhine appeared on the stage in person, and was killed and turned into a demon, which caused the entire principality to become like this.

"It turned out to be like this... I'm just a victim who didn't get recognized."

Adele lowered her voice, the truth behind it turned out to be so cruel.

His father didn't love him, his grandfather just wanted to use it as a prop, and his mother... left very early.

And now?None of his uncles, demons, citizens, religious orders... except Phyllis, wanted her to live on.

Thinking about it this way, Adele wants Phyllis to have a good ending, even if she sacrifices her life for it.

But Snow next to him thought more.

The Archduke Rhine called Adele to perform the soul-calling ceremony as a prop to retrieve his son. Although this sounded cruel, it revealed a message behind it.

The Grand Duke of the Rhine understood the specific steps of this ceremony, and was even willing to sacrifice one of his own granddaughters for this.

But the Principality of the Rhine has long been one of the countries that joined the Vatican. Although Snow didn't know about the church, did he tell him the more specific situation.

But at the very least, the old man should also be vigilant in this regard, so as not to be easily bewitched.

Just imagine, as the lord of a country, on the premise that he has already been warned, how could he easily believe in the temptation of a strange guy for no reason?
Here's the inside story.

"By the way...His Royal Highness Adele, did you see this weird guy when you were performing that ceremony?"

While thinking about it, Snow tore a piece of paper, and drew on it a fat man wearing a top hat who looked like an inflated balloon.

Perhaps it was because his paintings were so bad, it took a long time for Adele to forcefully spit out the uncertain word "maybe".

"Your Highness, please think again."

Snow stared at the other party speechlessly. If he has seen it, he has seen it. If he has not seen it, he has not seen it. This kind of ambiguous answer is the most troublesome.

"It's not because your drawing is so bad, how could someone look like this. I really haven't seen him there, I'm sure."

Adele also pouted and frowned in distress. She really didn't see the "Millennium Earl" that Snow drew with her own eyes.

But I seem to have seen similar backs in other places. After all, the top hat, pointed boots, and big belly like 18 months pregnant are too vivid.

Where did it come from... Oh!It seemed to be Uncle Astor's Bieyuan. At that time, this strange guy was floating over the Bieyuan with an umbrella, but he disappeared soon.

Adele always thought it was a big balloon, but then Uncle Astor came out, he seemed a little angry...

After hearing Adele's follow-up words, Snow felt that the matter might have surfaced.

This is the reason why Astor must carry out the assassination activities, and he seems so impatient that he will not even go on with the Holy Judgment, because he is afraid that something will be exposed by Adele during this empty window.

What he really wanted to hide was...the collusion with the Earl of the Millennium.

I'm afraid Adele has now become a witness... Don't look at the uncertainty on this little girl's face, wondering if the "balloon" she saw in mid-air is the Earl of the Millennium?

But Astor's approach can already be regarded as a guilty conscience.

It's really a good trick, what this guy did before is probably intentional.

The assistant to the adjutant was simply a hidden game he had planted. Maybe the first-hand information about the Black Order was also discovered from the other party in this way.

He intentionally threw out the second layer to show us, but he actually hid in the third layer. It was so powerful that he deceived the entire black sect.

So Astor is now the assistant of the Earl of the Millennium, not the Black Order, and maybe even this is a nail that the other party planted in them.

Of course, it is also possible that they are using each other, but in any case, Astor is now completely untrustworthy of the Black Order.

"Dong dong dong dong..."

It was the sound of knocking on the door, Snow heard it and stood up quickly, but he did not go over to open the door, but picked up the [Sacred Demon Slayer Flame].

Now he felt that he might have uncovered a corner of darkness, the enemy might have jumped the wall in a hurry, and it was absolutely necessary to be vigilant.

"Really...Snow kid, haven't you gotten up yet?"

A dissatisfied and familiar voice came from outside the door, it was bookman.

Snow was relieved after hearing this, and now he realized that the sky outside was already bright, and he actually passed the night in such a daze.

"Get up? I didn't sleep well at all! This night is really thrilling."

Snow pulled open the door, and then replied angrily.

"Oh! What happened? And I just came to see those two little girls. Acupuncture is ready for the next course of treatment."

The bookman asked casually, he thought it was the two girls who had a quarrel at night.

And behind him, the rabbi also nimbly got in, holding the breakfast prepared for them.

But after the two of them came in completely, they found that the room was full of signs of fighting.

"This is... Snow? This is not something that can be done casually."

The old man's eyes became sharper, and he also realized that something was wrong.

Especially on the last wall, that deep trace like sword energy seemed to split the front wall.

"demon?"

"No, it's human, and I also found a big trouble."
