Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Sister Lumi, Sister Wang has become an indiscreet girl
The afternoon sunlight was perfect.
Louis and the other person pushed open Beatrice’s big door.
Before pushing the door, Beatrice made a shushing gesture.
Louis softened his footsteps.
After pushing the door open, he saw a ball of fluff curled up on the office sofa.
——That was a creature named Olivia.
The head maid behind her had her mouth slightly open.
She mouthed the words, "She’s asleep."
Beatrice nodded, signaling Louis and her to proceed to the side hall.
Entering the side hall, they finally spoke loudly.
After reporting the relevant situation, Beatrice fell into deep thought.
"A mage claiming to be Mad King Rudelson?"
Louis nodded.
The news was voluntarily told to him by two dragons, and he confirmed that this mage and the mage who lured Snow were most likely the same person.
"Is it the remnants of the Mad King?" Beatrice pondered.
Louis said curiously, "But those two dragons said that person is definitely not Rudelson."
Beatrice shook her head and said:
"He might really not be the Mad King, but claiming to be Rudelson is not a problem."
Louis: "Huh?"
"Rudelson is not a person, but a code, or rather, an organization made up of people who believe in the same ideology."
Louis couldn’t hold back his expression.
What Moriarty?
Beatrice smiled and said, "Organizations like ’Rudelson,’ which deviate from the order camp, are not uncommon."
"Every year, various countries and major churches regularly eliminate a batch."
"It’s just that this organization is a bit special; their previous leader was truly a great sage of the necromancer lineage."
"If he hadn’t veered off track, the necromancers’ monument would have another of him."
"But there’s no ’if’."
Louis nodded, suddenly hesitating: "Are they here for revenge?"
After all, even for a newbie like him, he knew that the Mad King was directly hammered into Rudelson sauce by the Emperor.
"They might also be here to inherit the Mad King’s legacy."
Louis froze for a moment, exclaimed: "You mean the Book of the Dead?"
"Yes, except for the Church of Glory and Justice, the God of Love Church, and us, not many know the Mad King’s origin."
So how did it get involved with the church?
Louis assumed a posture of eager listening.
He only heard Beatrice say, "Have you heard of ’Love God’s Dark Side’?"
Louis paused, recalling Jino’s slightly mischievous smile:
"That heretical organization that once defiled the Love God?"
Beatrice nodded: "Years ago, a legendary succubus from the abyss disguised as a priest and preached the Love God’s teachings for a long time at the Ense border."
"But by the time sensory returned, she discovered she had already become a follower of the Love God."
"It’s just that compared to the moderate ideals of the God of Love Church, the creator of ’Love God’s Dark Side’ had more extreme and evil views."
"She influenced a respectable woman, causing her to drain her husband’s energy and successfully transform him into a succubus."
"However, after regaining her sanity, the wife was in agony, nearly insane."
"To soothe this promising descendant, ’Love God’s Dark Side’ used forbidden magic of the abyss to revive a fake with her husband’s memories."
Louis’s hair stood on end from hearing this, and he whispered:
"That wife’s husband..."
Beatrice sighed: "Yes, that was the Mad King, a ghost who slaughtered his way back from Hell."
She stood and walked to the bookshelf, retrieved a piece of parchment from a refined wooden box, and placed it before Louis.
Louis looked at the dossier, which had several large characters written on it, seemingly some kind of contract document.
"The living return to the main material realm, the dead return to the Netherworld, as laws respected by both order and chaos"
"The Mad King Rudelson’s living dead have broken the balance of the laws, becoming a monster shunned by both the living and the dead"
"Originated from the Ense Empire, destroyed by Love God’s Dark Side, trampling Glory and Justice, today we unite to aim to remove the tumor of the stars, Rudelson"
Beneath the contract document, stamped in blood-red was indeed the seal of the Ense Empire, God of Love Church, and Church of Glory.
Louis suddenly realized.
He immediately understood what Beatrice meant by "legacy."
As the Mad King’s homeland, Ense indeed was most likely to hide the Mad King’s legacy.
Whether the Mad King was strong when alive is unknown.
But the revived fake was undoubtedly a Necromancer King.
Just look at the Book of the Dead under the Dragonbone Prairie.
Apart from being placed on the Dragonbone Prairie, this tome has almost no external influence.
Yet when placed on the battlefield for long, it can still create such a dangerous wave of the living dead.
Beatrice’s expression was stern:
"Father also said that the Mad King isn’t so easy to kill, just like the idea he advocates, ’The death of the body brings the eternal life of the soul.’"
"His followers still believe, as long as the Book of the Dead is repaired, their king will slaughter his way back from the Netherworld."
Louis shook his head: "Since there’s already one replica, there might be more; let’s be cautious."
Beatrice nodded, her gaze shifted to Louis, her beautiful eyes turned, smiling slyly saying:
"Why did you think of bringing me dragon horn?"
Louis said without hesitation: "Dragons are valuable magic materials from head to toe, especially dragon horns, bones, and blood."
"I originally thought of buying you something practical, but I really didn’t know what suits you, then upon seeing those two dragons..."
Beatrice’s eyes almost squinted into a crescent moon:
"So you brought me a dragon horn, letting me make something I like myself?"
Louis nodded.
In his simple mind, he indeed thought this way.
Beatrice bit her lower lip, didn’t say much, she just leaned closer, tipped her head with a bewitching tone:
"So, when will you make a wish?"
Louis looked into her watery eyes, just about to ask "What do you want me to wish for," when he heard the sound of the door being pushed open.
"Sister Wang, I’ve sorted the latest intelligence from Supreme Forest for you, I’m so sleepy, I’ll head back..."
The little swan’s soft voice was suddenly cut off in her throat.
From her angle, it only seemed like her sister Wang and Louis sitting on the sofa were overlapping.
She widened her eyes: "Please tell me you two are just chatting."
Beatrice straightened up with a serious tone: "Actually, we just did a bit more on the way..."
The next moment she revealed a reminiscent mischievous smile: "Olivia, we will have a chance to try in the future."
Olivia’s little eyes flashed with big confusion:
"Did what?"
"Such outrage, my sister, Sister Wang has never been like this before, don’t make Sister Wang say such shy things."
——Referring to receiving the gift from Louis.
Olivia: ???
Beatrice showed a devilish smile:
"Oh dear, Olivia hasn’t had such an experience yet!"
——Referring to the little swan not having received a gift from someone she likes.
The little swan was dumbfounded, jumped up saying: "Sister Wang, you aren’t even married yet!"
Beatrice deliberately covered her face, ears slightly red:
"You don’t need to be married for this!"
This ear redness wasn’t pretended.
The little swan’s brain had stopped functioning at this moment.
At this, Louis completed the fatal blow: "Beatrice, she really is too mischievous."
——Referring to not bullying the little swan.
Louis was also mischievous.
He directly used words that easily led her to misunderstand.
"Even Sister Wang initiated it?"
As a result, the little swan’s face turned red at a visible speed.
The two could see the little swan’s expression turning into three parts confusion, three parts incomprehension, and four parts being dumbstruck.
Moments later, she ran toward the door, crying:
"Sister Lumi, Sister Wang has become an unreserved girl!"
Immediately after, the wide-eyed head maid rushed in:
"Did it? How many times? Planning to have how many?"
