Hearing Beta's answer, Prince Bowens was a little surprised. Fiction .
It never occurred to him that his invitation would be rejected. However, he is also a person with a calm mind. He turned around in his mind and said, "I am a prince. Don't you think there is no future for me?"
Beta smiled and said: "Of course there is a future, but your highness, you have to understand one thing. You are a man, and Archbishop Celia is a woman and a beautiful woman. I am a young man. If it were you, what would you do?" consider?"
Prince Bowens felt scratching his head. Mercenaries are generally willing to condescend to the nobles and do things for the nobles for the sake of money and power.
But this person is for beauty... It has to be said that it is a very reasonable reason.
Besides, two days ago, he found time to go to the slums to meet Celia. He had to admit that Celia was the most beautiful woman she had ever seen. She is even prettier than his sister who is known as the Flower of the Empire.
Even he was faintly moved, let alone a mercenary.
After being silent for a while, Prince Bowens smiled heartily: "I just want to make an opinion, Your Excellency, you have very good talents. But if your talents want to continue to grow, you must need a lot of resources. These resources, Seri Archbishop Ya can't give it to you, but I can."
Beta looked up and said, "But I heard that His Royal Highness is not in a good situation right now."
"It's not very good." Prince Bowens took the initiative to add some fruit wine to Beta's glass, and poured wine for a mercenary in his capacity. Power, the energy I have, is much stronger than Archbishop Celia."
This is also the truth, no matter how you look at it, Prince Bowens is not that kind of mediocre dude. Although he is still young, he must have started to manage his own power a few years ago, maybe even more than ten years ago. Coupled with the complicated interpersonal relationship of the royal family, his background is indeed much stronger than Celia.
But now they only saw the appearance of Monica's strength.
If Monica can let go of her airs and go back and ask Sasha, she will definitely get a lot of support.
In any case, the country of France is also the most powerful country in human beings. It is much stronger than Longkang in terms of manpower and material resources.
Besides, Bowens is still a lost prince.
In addition, Beta can also be regarded as a "connection" line of Monica. Anyway, Monica is Sasha's sister. When he and Monica have no interests, or when there is a conflict between right and wrong, he is willing to help Monica. Nika's.
Therefore, Beta didn't think that Monica was worse than Bowens, on the contrary, he didn't know how much better than him.
Of course, Beta would not say these things out, he pretended to ponder for a while, and then said: "Let me think about it."
"Okay." Prince Bowens felt a little happy. The other party didn't completely reject him. No matter whether this matter was accomplished or not, he had a step to step down.
The glasses of both sides touched, and after drinking, Beta left the study.
As usual, he led his team to patrol the manor for a few hours, then made arrangements for tomorrow and left the manor.
Just after he left, the prince called the three members of the team into the study.
Although these three were also mercenaries, their strength was average. When they saw the prince, they were a little nervous and seemed very nervous.
Bowens asked them to sit down, and then asked, "What do you think of your captain, Li Lin?"
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief. At first, they thought they were about to be invited out of the manor's patrol team.
Bowens pays a lot of money, and they cherish this job very much.
"The captain is very nice and decent."
"The captain has a lot of common sense."
"The captain has an aristocratic air about him."
The three of them expressed their impressions of Beta one by one, and about half an hour later, the three left the study.
Prince Bowens sat in the study, deep in thought.
After asking the trio what they thought, Bowens finally found something he had been ignoring.
Li Lin was too humble and arrogant.
At such a young age, his strength is close to the legendary level. It stands to reason that a person should be high-spirited, but this Li Lin has always been quite calm and calm.
Although the other party was a mercenary, Bowens found that the other party did not have any rudeness of a mercenary on his body. Indeed, as the team members said, he had an aristocratic and refined air about him.
Most importantly, Prince Bowens discovered that Li Lin did understand a lot. He carefully recalled the conversation between himself and Beta not long ago. Although the other party was not very talkative, as long as he talked, he could always say something.
Such insight is not something a young mercenary should have.
"What is the identity of this person?" Bowens became curious.
And now he faintly felt that most of his solicitation was about to fail.
Such a person cannot be recruited at will.
Then what is the identity of Archbishop Celia whom he is willing to pledge allegiance to
Bowens felt a headache. There are so many forces in the Holy City of Life, and the relationship between them is already complicated enough, but now a new force pops up
At this time, Beta returned to the North County Abbey, and as soon as he entered the door, he smelled a faint smell of blood.
The two young guards at the door looked sad.
what's going on
Beta didn't ask the guards, but went directly into the temple, and saw a group of people gathered in the center of the prayer hall.
Monica, who was wearing a light green bishop's robe, was quite obvious in the crowd.
Beta walked over, and when others saw him coming, they took the initiative to get out of the way.
Then Beta discovered that there were three young people lying in the middle of the crowd. They are all dead, and their faces still maintain the distorted faces caused by the pain during their lifetime.
There was a big hole in their left chest, and the heart inside was gone, only a red hole was exposed.
The people around all showed sad, even angry expressions.
"You're back!" Monica walked to Beta.
"what happened."
"At noon, five young people from our temple went out to purchase supplies. Then they were attacked on the road. Three teenagers were beaten to death on the spot, and two girls were taken away."
Beta frowned, and asked in a low voice, "Have your spiders gone out to check?"
"Going out, but there is no result yet."
Beta looked at the three dead teenagers with a slight anger on his face.
These three teenagers have all learned swordsmanship from him, and he also remembers their names. In just one afternoon, the person was lying here, and his body became cold.
"First find a way to find the two girls. If they are still alive, if they are found a minute earlier, they will suffer less. If they are dead, they must also find their bodies."
Beta summoned Joan of Arc, raised her hand, and the latter flew out from the window.
"From now on, everyone is not allowed to go out. Stay in the temple with peace of mind and wait for the matter to pass." Beta looked at Harriman next to him: "From now on, the California team will be fully responsible for the security of the temple. No matter day or night, arrangements must be made." Manual patrol."
Harriman nodded, and immediately led the team to start defending.
Beta and Monica returned to the room.
After closing the door, Monica, who was very calm, immediately went into a rage: "Who the hell is the person who dares to touch me? Don't let me find him, otherwise I will definitely let him taste what the ashes of his family are. smell."
Monica loves pouring people's ashes into water, and it seems that she can't change it.
Beta asked, "Do you have any clues?"
"Ulanso!" Monica's face became more and more sullen.
"I think it's him too." Beta nodded: "But there is no evidence now. As the archbishop, you should calm down. Don't rush to do it yet. We have to find the evidence first."
Monica said bitterly: "Others have bullied me to this extent, why should I bear it. If you don't help me, I will deal with him myself."
No matter how powerful Ulanso is, Monica is not afraid. She is the favored person of the Spider Queen, she is not weak, and she is not easy to die. To deal with a small force, as long as she is willing to spend time, she will definitely be able to "wear out" the opponent slowly.
Beta persuaded: "Isn't your ideal to become a female pope? Then don't do this kind of thing that gives people a handle. Assassination of a political opponent, as long as it happens once, it will be a stain on your life in the future, and there is still no definite evidence. circumstances."
Monica took a breath and calmed down. Then she came over, hugged Beta's arm, rubbed it back and forth with two balls of soft jelly, and said in a rather loud voice: "Beta, you will help me, right?"
"Of course I will help you." Beta wanted to break away, but seeing that Monica finally calmed down from her anger, if she left without mercy, it would probably make her feel extremely uncomfortable. Forget it, let her rub it, anyway, I will not suffer: "I am going to visit the scene of the crime, you stay in the temple to stabilize the morale of the army."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Monica said with a grin.
After Beta inquired about the location of the incident, he left the temple.
After Beta walked away, the smiling Monica's expression suddenly darkened.
Dozens of transparent spiders emerged from under her clothes, and quickly left the temple through the window.
She walked around the room twice, as if thinking about how to sort out the current situation, turned around, and saw the floor-to-ceiling mirror next to her, which was about the height of a person.
This mirror is quite expensive and most people cannot afford it.
Monica in the mirror has a look of evil, like a female devil.
She touched her face and murmured: "No, this is too ugly to let Beta see."
Then she took two deep breaths, calmed herself down, and smiled again.
Although the smile looked fake and contrived, at least it looked much better than the gloomy female devil's grim face just now.
On the street, Beta had already arrived at the scene of the incident, and there were still three black bloodstains, big and big three pools.
Pedestrians on the road saw it from a distance, and tried to avoid these three black marks——
