The archbishop's meeting was simpler than imagined. Back at the North County Abbey, Monica said in disbelief, "They gave in so easily?"
In Monica's mind, this time it was a joint pressure from several archbishops. If she didn't show enough toughness, or even pay a certain price, there would be no way to 'persuade' these old things.
Unexpectedly, just going up and cursing a few words, and Beta threw a sword out, and they all shut up. And also agreed to Monica's request.
"Actually, this is normal." Beta explained: "Their family has a great career, and it is impossible for someone like you who has nothing but a temple, but is very powerful to be hostile and fight to the death. From their point of view , It’s not worth it. But it’s not difficult to find out the news for you, anyway, if everyone loses face, it’s equivalent to not losing face.”
Monica smiled, and asked with a smile: "You threw the weapon out just now, did you help me vent my anger?"
Beta shook his head flatly: "No, I just don't want the archbishop to stir up the atmosphere. If we let him succeed, we will be in some trouble."
Monica didn't believe it, she looked at Beta with a smile, and said, "It's hard to talk, but I just know what's going on."
She smiled triumphantly, twisted her waist and left Beta's room.
Beta thought for a while, and went to the prince's manor.
Because he was an acquaintance, he soon met the prince.
The meeting place was in the prince's bedroom, which smelled like heather flowers, and the prince was still naked, hugging a pretty maid.
When he saw Beta, he smiled sleepily and said, "Hey, isn't this Your Excellency Li Lin who took money and did nothing? Why, the power of money still hasn't let you get out from under Ms. Celia's pomegranate skirt?"
What Bowens meant was that the fifty gold coins did not allow Beta to betray the owner, which made him feel a little strange.
"As I said, that's just my reward for helping you once." Beta said flatly: "I came here this time, just to ask, do you still have any ideas about paying my salary during this time?"
Beta didn't like the other party's little gold coins, he just came to check the news.
The prince paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "Haha, you don't even want to be my subordinate, why should I send you money. And you have to understand that it is almost impossible to have a reconciliation between Celia and me It’s possible, you can only choose one side to join.”
Beta looked at the prince's bald head, smiled, and left the room.
Walking on the street, Beta chuckled lightly.
The prince is avoiding suspicion. The current prince looks like a playboy. This is completely different from the temperament and ability shown before. It's almost like two different people.
No matter how you look at it, this person who escaped from the royal disputes to the Holy City of Life should not have fallen so quickly. After thinking about it, Beta only came to one conclusion.
What does the prince know, what is he afraid of.
At the same time to show to whom he is incapable of affecting the overall situation? I don't know if it has anything to do with the girl's disappearance.
Beta found it quite interesting.
If the archbishop can't find anything, the prince's place may be a breakthrough.
After returning to the temple, Beta shared his thoughts with Monica, and the latter immediately dispatched dozens of spider avatars to focus on monitoring Prince Bowens.
Two days later, an archbishop's subordinates found some important clues, and immediately informed Monica and Beta.
The two searched for clues to find the past,
Then, in an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts, he opened up the sundries and found a secret passage. I went in carefully, and there was nothing abnormal along the way, but when I got down to the bottom, I smelled a rancid smell.
At this time, Beta already had a bad premonition, it was very dark below, he had real vision, unaffected by light, and Monica also had dark vision brought by the spider incarnation.
Neither of them needed light. They saw dozens of corpses in the empty basement, and they walked up, holding their noses, and their faces were very gloomy.
These dozens of corpses are all young girls. Their bodies are naked, and many parts have been rotted. If they are lucky, their faces are not swollen or rotten, but they can recognize their original appearance. If the faces are rotten, then there is no Way to identify.
Beta was extremely angry, he felt a twitch on his forehead, but he calmed down quickly.
Monica searched inside for a while, and said, "This, this, and this are our people."
"I know." Beta's voice was a little low. He squatted down, looked at it for a while, and said, "The arteries in the necks of all the girls were opened, and the wounds were caused by swords. They all died of Excessive bleeding."
"bloodletting?"
"It smells like offering sacrifices to evil gods." Beta looked around: "I can feel it."
"It won't be..." Monica pointed to the sky.
When referring to the sky in the holy city of life, it is naturally the goddess of life. And Monica, as the possessor of the Spider Queen, of course knows who the true identity of the Goddess of Life is now.
The Spider Queen has many gods, she can't control them. Most of the gods are dark elves, and there are relatively few gods among humans.
So, Monica's luck is actually pretty good.
Beta shook his head: "No, I feel another smell of blood, which is a bit like a vampire."
"Isn't it already extinct?"
Beta shook his head again, he still remembered the epic mission given by the last system mission, asking him to find the true ancestor of vampires. In the end, a fake was found. Although the system still regarded it as having completed the task, Beta knew that the true ancestor of the vampire should still be alive.
When he was thinking this way, he threw a ball of fire and burned all these corpses.
"Aren't you looking for clues?"
"The other party was very cautious and didn't leave anything worth noting." Beta was a little upset: "But I have temporarily recorded the residual magical smell here. If I encounter it in the future, I should be able to feel it."
"Then go back?"
"Just go back first."
The two went out to the entrance of the secret passage, and Monica wanted to say something again, but Beta suddenly froze, and stretched out her hand to wrap Monica's waist, pulling her into her arms.
Monica was taken aback for a moment, and then she was a little surprised. Could it be that Beta wanted to be here... Well, that's fine, it seems quite interesting.
Monica's cheeks were slightly flushed. Before she could be happier, Beta jumped back holding her, and then saw a huge white electric ball falling from the sky and smashing into the abandoned warehouse.
