It's not the protagonist, what does it matter if you are trapped in the Shura field

Chapter 448 Shaye: You always have an excuse anyway!

"ghost?"

After returning from church, Luo Wei immediately gathered a few people.

Ayi Ning frowned as she looked at the contents of the note. "You mean, this might be related to the arrangement behind the scenes?"

Do we need to investigate this matter?
But then again, who gave him this information...?
"It's not related," Luo Wei reminded, "but it's very likely part of the arrangement."

Luo Wei couldn't simply explain the existence of the Hermits to them. Their ability to do things was beyond doubt. No matter how the nobles tried to cover up and transfer the evidence, the Hermits had investigated everything clearly. They could even tell you what kind of grass the horses had eaten that night. So much so that some people began to spread rumors that the Fifth Princess' eyes could turn into the moon, and any evil could be exposed.

Goddess Qingyue: Thank you.

What was relevant on this note were the two commissions that Luo Wei had given to Nununi when he first met her. One of them was about accusing the fifth princess of secretly keeping a demon god.

So many days have passed, and I thought it was just a coincidence and there would be no deeper answer to the mystery, but Nununi sent me this message through Seya.

"Ghost", and an address.

Nununi would never send him inconclusive information for no reason.

This can only mean one thing - the matter has already been investigated to this point, and is beyond the capabilities of the Hermit Order.

If this still doesn't explain the problem, then you might as well think about it from the enemy's perspective. Thanks to Randall, everyone in the kingdom knows about the heroic deeds performed by the Fifth Princess, Lovely, in the Crownless City. Now you are the accomplice of the Craftsmen's Guild behind the scenes, and you are busy arranging the overall situation in the Lion Garden Royal City. At this time, you suddenly heard that the Fifth Princess was inexplicably going back to the capital. What would you do?
The demon that appeared in the manor was a warning.

Don't meddle in other people's business.

There was no reason to investigate this matter. What could they find from the dissipated body of the demon god? But no one knew what went wrong. Perhaps a noble accidentally came across the relevant details, and under the pressure of the great nobles, they had to find a reason to accuse the fifth princess, so they brought the matter to the court of trial.

The result is obvious. Isn't this what Luo Wei has been looking for?
The Funeral Hermits have spent so many days and only got this much information. There is no foul play behind this and no one would believe it.

“Ghost...Ghost!!?” Vimir’s face looked a little pale.

"You said five 'you'." Clothy scratched her cheek and looked at her, "But I also know that feeling. When I was a child..."

"Hehe..." Irus also looked at her and smiled, "You can concentrate on praying in front of the Goddess of Machinery, but you are afraid of the souls wandering in the world?"

"I, I, I...I'm not really scared!"

I mentioned five more "I"s.

After listening to Luo Wei's explanation that it was related to the Demon God's accusation, Ayining looked at him and said, "If I remember correctly, the noble family who initiated this accusation was found dead in their home a few days ago, right?"

Luo Wei understood what she meant and closed his eyes.

"Believe me," he said, "if we were to dwell on every incident like this, Melendelle would be a madhouse designed just for us."

No matter how much speculation there is without any clues, it is just speculation. Melendel has never lacked bizarre unsolved mysteries. He knows a lot of secrets, but he has never thought of knowing everything.

Ayining pursed her lips, knowing that he was criticizing her for always overthinking. He was indeed more perceptive than ordinary people in seeing the key points.

"So, are you going?" Lovely sat in the main seat and looked at Luo Wei.

"Everyone, get ready," Luo Wei nodded, "and meet here in fifteen minutes."

"Who stays?" asked Irus.

He once said that under any circumstances, at least one of the four of them, him, Anan Ning, Angel Cutie, and himself, must stay near Lovely to ensure her safety.

This is also the reason why she has been accompanying the princess to handle affairs these days. Ah, he really trusts his assistant.

"Shaye stays." Luo Wei said after a pause.

"What! I...!"

Saya, who was impatiently heading back to her room, suddenly stopped there, turned around and looked at him in confusion.

Why did I stay?
"I need Irus's knowledge of magic," Luo Wei said briefly, "And Anaining needs to work with the others more. You two have worked with each other enough, right?"

"But me!"

Seeing the white-haired man sticking out his tongue at her smugly, Saya was so confused that her fur almost exploded.

Why me!
Since Vimiel is so scared, why not let her stay? I didn't come back from the temple just to guard the manor!

At this time, Luo Wei walked up to her and held her hand, not giving her the strength to shake it off.

"Come with me."

The two of them walked out from the living room to the corridor.

Saya turned aside angrily, not wanting to see him at all.

"..."

Luo Wei naturally knew exactly what she was thinking. How could he not see her intention of trying to protect him in the court these days?

"I told them those reasons," Luo Wei said with a helpless smile, "If I told you the real reason, you might really beat me up."

"I won't listen!"

"I think the enemy may take the opportunity to do something to the manor. Only by keeping you here can we stop them."

"That White-haired Girl is also okay!" Shaye said angrily, "You saw her beat me today!"

Luo Wei curled his lips.

"I don't doubt her ability," he said, "but I doubt whether she can really fulfill her duties."

"..."

You always have an excuse anyway!

"I say," Luo Wei stared at that flawless profile, "Do you want to beat Anaining down?"

"I don't need your schemes!"

"I mean, defeat her head-on using only your own strength."

"?"

Saya turned around and looked at him straight, with deep confusion between her brows.

Although he would never admit it, no one could see that the infuriating White-Haired Girl was stronger now.

Luo Wei reached out and patted her shoulder. "When I come back, the princess, the little devil and the others will be in your hands."

……

Melendel, main city, Sealed Street.

According to the address on the note, the group arrived at a large but flat-looking mansion.

"There are places like this in the city." Anaining glanced around behind her. There were few pedestrians on the spacious road, and the buildings were dilapidated. It looked desolate, as if it had been abandoned.

She didn't remember seeing a similar scene when she was shopping before.

"This should be the old city," Ayining recalled the records about the capital she had seen during this period, "It is the area left over from the founding of Lion Garden. All other places we have been to have been redesigned and rebuilt."

"Then why do you keep this place here?"

"Maybe... because the urban area is too large."

Luo Wei stood in front of the group and had told them long ago that it was impossible to tour the entire Royal City in one day. Even if it was just one of the districts, there were many forgotten places like the Old Town that had not been separately classified, so there was no need to make a fuss about it.

He did know why the old city was still preserved.

It’s not like Melendel hasn’t been involved in various ancient conflicts. This place has existed before the advent of the gods. There are many seals hidden underneath, and what you dig out is no joke.

But this is not what they need to worry about now.

"You left the light-attributed cutie at the manor," Irus looked at him uncertainly, "Is that appropriate?"

"Isn't there another one with light attribute?" Luo Wei observed the mansion without looking at her.

Vermeer: ​​()
Ayining looked at them with the Earthly Branch Sword hanging on her neck without saying a word. Vimir didn't seem to have much confidence. Perhaps leaving herself in the manor and letting Saya come was also an option, but she didn't want to appear so arrogant and respected his opinion. Besides, she had nothing to complain about the current arrangement.

After confirming that there was nothing unusual around them, several people crossed the street and sneaked into the inner courtyard of the mansion in a few seconds. Although they didn't think they could hide their whereabouts forever, it would certainly be better if the opponent could discover them a little later.

Walking straight along the courtyard to both sides of the main gate, Luo Wei gave Lu Yi a gesture - as a demon with the ability to directly unlock the mechanism, he didn't want to slowly solve the puzzle in the enemy's territory.

give it to me!

Lu Yi supported herself and moved to the inside of the gate. The moment the door opened, several people rushed in quickly.

There were no lights on in the dim main entrance. In the wide space, walking along the stone pillars on the side, the end of the red carpet was a curved staircase extending to both sides but also leading to the second-floor platform.

“Is this the ghost’s territory?” Vimir encouraged himself with a smile, “It doesn’t look like there’s anything to be afraid of…”

“Vimir…!”

Ayining turned her head and saw a white face floating behind Weimir as she said these words.

Vimille turned around suddenly.

White Shadow: Mi. Mi

Vermeer: ​​"..."

White Shadow: Mi. Mi

Vermeer: ​​"..."

The girl shuddered with fear and almost immediately opened the holy light barrier with her left hand. Ayining, wielding a sword, suddenly appeared. The blade pierced through the body of the white shadow, but the brown earth attribute magic power covering it still tore its body apart, splitting it in two and dissipating as it fell.

At the same time, groups of shadowy figures appeared around them.

"Well done," Luo Wei confirmed with a glance behind him, "but there's no need to hold back."

"Eh? But what if I..." Vimir said in shock.

"It doesn't matter. Since we were attacked the moment we walked in, I never taught you to save your strength in a fight."

She found strength from Luo Wei's words. To be honest, Vimir hadn't reacted at all. At that moment, she almost blasted out a holy-level light attack magic, but she held back in order to avoid making too much noise. She chose to trust the tacit understanding between herself and Ayining.

But since he said it was okay, then now...!
With the fear of being in close contact with the ghost, Vimir only regretted not going to the toilet before coming in. He sang the holy text and waved the staff out -

"The Light of Holy Heaven's Punishment"!!!
A beam of light as thick as the weight of two people was released from the front of the staff with a spell of high magic power. The light went straight through the hall and swept across the front as the staff was swung, shattering the stone pillars along the way before continuing to hit the porch diagonally upwards, shattering the roof and penetrating out, going straight into the sky and illuminating the entire house inside and out with a dazzling white light.

Rumble——! ! !
"Okay," Irus smiled faintly amidst the white light and loud noise, "Now everyone knows we're here."

"Hey, hey, hey?" Weimir stood there in confusion, "But didn't Luo Wei say..."

"He is indeed right," Irus looked at her from behind, "but you are not afraid at all, are you? I thought you would stay where you are or use this move before he gives the order."

Vermeer: ​​"..."

I did think of the latter option...

The hall was pierced by such a holy cannon. Now, let alone ghosts, the holy particles filling the air made it possible to start praising the holy light.

"So now we have a priest with light attributes," Irus said at the end, looking at Rowe at the front, "What should we do now?"

"Go deeper as quickly as possible, no matter how loud the noise is," Luo Wei looked at the two people on his left and right, "I'll leave the detection of the aura to you."

Anai Ning, Ayi Ning: "Okay!"

"Then can I...!" Vimir gripped his staff tightly and followed his position.

"Of course," Luo Wei said coldly, "Just do what you like."

She was not a coward who lacked combat experience. Even though she did not appear to be reliable on the outside, she had followed him all the way from the starting point.

As he stepped forward onto the stairs, a holy blue light wave suddenly emerged behind him, sweeping across the field of vision in a spherical shape. The screams of ghosts seemed to echo from the depths.

Luo Wei: "..."

The spell of the goddess of pure water.

"It seems that we don't need a priest with light attribute now." Irus smiled.

Vimir: “?”

Luo Wei trembled his lips and expressed no opinion.

What she did just now must have purified all the ghosts within a few kilometers.
