Blood Dragon

Chapter 240 Puzzled

Eileen did everything he was supposed to do under the circumstances.

The interior of the temporary palace was immediately sealed off on the grounds that "spies from other countries have sneaked in".Under the charge of Chief Scaldera, an emergency clean-up was immediately carried out on the personnel inside the palace—all guards, servants, maids, etc.The little queen was placed in the dormitory, under the care of Aishuruffat and Lalia.He himself immediately summoned relevant officials to discuss and deal with various possible problems—especially with General Baylor and the church.The former is easy to say, and it can be delayed for a while, but the latter is very troublesome.

The high priest has repeatedly expressed his apology, but at this time, the apology doesn't make much sense.Fortunately, in addition to apologizing, the high priest also expressed his willingness to do everything possible to make up for his mistakes.

An urgent imperial meeting is about to be held in the prime minister's office.In another place, Ashurfat was sitting next to the little girl.A female high-ranking priest who is proficient in magic is here, so that she can observe the little queen's physical reaction at any time—if possible—and deal with it in time.

Ever since the unknown evil magic, the little girl has been in a comatose state.Anyone could quickly tell that this was a bad state, since neither pinching nor shouting could wake her from her lethargic sleep.But other than that, it's barely normal.The little girl seemed to be breathing steadily, and there was no abnormality in any part of her body, but her face was too pale.The church's judgment is likely to be correct, this is a magical attack on the spirit.The only trouble is, this magic is likely to be deliberately prepared, or even specially developed.So although it is fast to cast and very resistant to interference, it may be quite powerful.

Soon, everyone else in the Queen's bedroom left, leaving only Ashuruffat and the other three.

"Are you Count Ashurfate?" The priestess of the church started the conversation first.Speaking of which, this woman looked familiar, but Ashuruffat couldn't remember who she was.

"It's me." Ashuruffat replied.Now, there were not so much three people in the room as there were only two, and Lalia hid her body in the darkness, hiding her figure.I don't know if it's because of habit or instinct to avoid Aishuruffat. "I... seem to have seen you before?"

"We have indeed," replied the priestess.In particular, the scar on the bridge of Ashrufat's nose is really a very conspicuous and eye-catching sign, which makes him easy to be remembered-everyone who has seen him can recognize that scar in a short time Scars impress. "At a very inappropriate time, in a very inappropriate place."

"I do not really understand."

"Women's bathhouse, do you remember now?"

Ashurfat immediately remembered.At that religious festival back then... he accidentally entered the queen's dressing room...

So it was her? !It was this priestess who raised his hand and gave him a fireball. If he didn't know magic, he would probably be covered with flame scars even if he didn't die now.

But having said that, at that time, the behavior of the priestess was not wrong.Who told Ashrufat to stay in a place where he shouldn't be (especially when he was discovered).

"Speaking of which, Earl Ashuruffat does seem to be proficient in magic. It seems that that time was not my illusion, let alone my mistake." The priestess' gaze stayed on Ashuruffat. "A person who has mastered the power of magic can put on armor and walk on the battlefield...very rare. I wonder who the Earl studied under?"

Ashuruffat slapped haha, and dealt with this sharp question. "Currently, our most important thing is probably not about me, but about our little queen. I heard that the priests of the church are all masters of magic. I don't know what the priest has about the chaos magic that affects Her Majesty... view?"

"To be honest, I wasn't there for the Chaos magic. So I don't know very well." The priestess answered frankly.This is because at that time the little queen was only accompanied by the high priest (Laria was counted separately), and everyone else was outside the room. "But she's here."

Her finger touched Lalia. "I think Miss Lalia should be able to explain it to you in detail."

Ashurfat's gaze also turned to Lalia.After Ashurfat noticed her, Lalia simply gave up trying to hide herself.She began to describe in detail what she had seen.In particular, it explained that the magic of the priests in the church was fully activated at that time, and the Chaos wizard was not afraid, and shot a green light lightly, hitting the little girl.But just such a magic that didn't seem dangerous directly made the little girl fall into a coma.

"What kind of magic is this?" Ashuruffat asked the priestess.

"To be honest, I don't understand," the priestess admitted. "According to the theory of magic, it is impossible to cast powerful magic in that situation. Because at that time, on the one hand, the Chaos wizard lord had to cross a long distance, and on the other hand, he was under the influence of our joint multi-person cast." The interference of strong ** techniques."

"What if... the magical energy was hidden in some way beforehand? After all, they have a Chaos Wizard lurking nearby."

"That's also impossible. The High Priest carries the Demon-Breaking Scroll with him. Once he feels threatened, he will undoubtedly use the Demon-Breaking Scroll immediately. But according to the High Priest, he didn't feel any powerful force at all. Magical energy. Otherwise, he would have used the Demon-Breaking Scroll immediately."

"So, I don't understand how the Chaos Wizard did this at all." The priestess sighed. "This Chaos Sorcerer should have been specially developed. It has already surpassed the scope of my knowledge... Maybe it is beyond the theoretical scope of our entire magic system. In this respect, Chaos Sorcerer does have a slight advantage over us."

"Oh?" This was the first time that a magician of the church admitted that he was inferior to Chaos in terms of magic.

"Magic should be a prop, a power that can be mastered by humans. Our ordinary magic, that is, 'Magic Eight Winds', is essentially the energy flowing in this world. You are also a magician, so You should understand that manipulating these energies to use magic is essentially the same as manipulating a cannon to fire shells and manipulating a trebuchet to throw stones. In fact, the magician is using external power, and the manipulator is still a human being. But the chaos evil The technique...introduced the power of the evil god, distorted, transformed, and polluted the original wind of magic. Of course, this unscrupulous method has its convenience..."

"This is not a magic of spiritual attack." Just as the priestess was vigorously promoting the church's ideas to Ashuruffat, a voice sounded behind her.

It was Lalia who was speaking.

The priestess' gaze immediately turned to Lalia. "You also know magic?" She asked a little puzzled. "You know, according to the theory of magic, it is impossible for that Chaos wizard to..."

"This is not an attacking magic." Lalia seemed to be talking to herself. "In that case, at such a short distance, being so directly interfered and affected by other magic...and then casting a deadly attack spell instantly...whether it is a mental attack or a physical attack, it is impossible."

"Are you a magician too?"

"No, I'm not... I... don't know magic," Lalia replied. "I'm different from you. I don't know anything about magic, but I can use some magic power... because I can directly feel the existence of magic."

"How is it possible? You are not a magical creature..." At the moment when the priestess was surprised, she felt Lalia embrace the wind of magic.But she didn't make any preparations for casting spells, not even the most basic thing like gathering the spirit.She seemed to grab it casually, and the wind of magic fell into her palm.

Relying on the ability to sense magic that has been practiced for a long time, the priestess realized that the other party's state was not normal... This is not the way humans use magic, but it is much simpler and more direct.This is something that even Chaos Wizards cannot do, because Chaos Wizards are also human beings.Before any human magician casts magic, there must be a process of concentrating on "communicating" the wind of magic. This time may be long or short, but it is indispensable.

But just now... what Lalia had to say was more like an inadvertent action.Of course, it is also possible that she is very talented, and the process of concentrating on communicating with the wind of magic is extremely short, causing outsiders to have an illusion.

Speaking of which, people in the church are not free-spirited.For example, at this time almost all the high-level members of the church already knew the identity of Lalia.This queen's female guard who appeared at some unknown time, named Lalia, was the "Bloody Rose" in the legend of Falcon City.Of course, they knew that Lalia was Rodia's younger sister.However, the rule in this world is that the king is the highest representative of the country and the spokesperson of the law.This matter is like recruiting bandits. No matter what crimes the bandits have committed before, as long as the king himself approves, all past crimes will be written off.

"I don't really know any theory," Lalia said. "I just... as if I knew it naturally."

"If it's not offensive magic, what is it?"

"This magic... functions as a link." Lalia seemed to be carefully recalling the scene at that time. "It should be... linking the wills of two people together."

Will link?The priestess turned her head and glanced at Ashrufat suspiciously.The latter made a clear "I don't understand" gesture.However, from Ashuruffat's thoughtful and flickering eyes, the priestess thought that he might be lying.

"How is Her Majesty's situation?" She didn't bother to speculate on Ashuruffat's little idea, but asked Lalia.Because the latter is carefully observing the little girl at this time.The wind of magic can effectively improve human perception, and Lalia is probably trying to find some signs from the little girl.

Lalia didn't answer, but continued to look at the little girl's face.At this time, the little girl let out a low moan and turned her head.This was the first time she uttered a cry after she passed out of a coma.

Ashuruffat immediately came to the little girl and carefully looked at the unconscious queen.The little girl didn't just make a sound, her hands seemed to want to grab something.
