I really just want to be a big lord

Chapter 18 Two "Masters"

Although it is judged that Grossman deliberately avoided Pete to tell him these things, Keos didn't think that Grossman thought there was a problem with the butler, but just regarded it as "all possibilities".

After all, the chief healer is not like him, who can directly see the favorability circle behind Pete's head.

However, if it is really the "Chongling Curse", there must be many hidden dangers in the Li family, and it must also involve middle and high-level people, other lords, and other families.

These auras and contracted servants who are used to "detonate" are like "tools" to the people behind them.

He guessed that the reason why he "detonated" the high-ranking aura from the Kendall family next to him came to Beishan Manor, instead of detonating the people hidden in the Li family, was to prevent him from controlling the soul subordination contract and killing people.

Like today, when Chu He had a seizure, he didn't use the ability of the soul subordination contract to directly let his spirit explode and devour his body. It can be said that he wanted to capture it alive and preserve the original state of the corpse to the greatest extent. No one would find it strange.

But if the curse is true, there must be many similar things, and if there are too many, people will be suspicious sooner or later.

This made Kaios feel more urgency and crisis. Only relying on contracted servants such as Salveira and Harvey, the function of the protection bracelet is not enough, and he needs more protection.

Keos stopped between the bookshelves, took out a book, flipped through it, and found the entry related to "curse" in the catalog, but after turning to the corresponding page, there was no specific classification, only a small half of the introduce.

Then there is a definition at the end: "All curse-type magic is black magic, and it is forbidden to practice and use it in the Holy Blessed Alliance. If you encounter black magic that is suspected to be a curse, you can ask for help from the local Holy Blessing Palace or punishment knights."

Seek help from Shengyou Palace or Disciplinary Knights?
Even Pete didn't consider this option at all, let alone know that there is a vice-captain among the disciplinary knights who favors him with a 1/3 red circle.

However, he doesn't think that the series of actions against the Li family and him are operated by Shengyou Palace, because according to what he has learned, if Shengyou Palace really cooperates completely, they don't need to be so troublesome .

The next day, Keos, who made a preliminary decision, called Pete to the study.

"When you mentioned Carles before, I remember hearing you mention Filo's big guard, but I see that Filo's name is not on the list of factory managers and commanders you gave me. Has he passed away? " Keos asked.

The name Filo was mentioned in the diary of the old baron. He was the first "master" of Keos, who helped him design a set of aura cultivation methods, which he called a secret method for recuperating the body, so as to strengthen his body.

"Yes, the bodyguard Filo has passed away for... five years." Pete recalled, "It's such a pity. Although Filo's spiritual energy level was not very high back then, his control and use of spiritual energy was definitely close to How many times as much as a Martial Saint, alas..."

"How did he die? Died in battle? Died of illness? Or other accidents?" Keos asked.

"It's a death from illness, it's also a common disease of spiritual practitioners, and the collapse of the spiritual vein..." Pete slowed down when he said this, as if thinking of something, his brows were slightly frowned.

Keos also said, "Is there anything unusual about Philo's illness? Has Dr. Grossman checked the corpse?"

Pete recalled: "The big guard Philo fell ill on the way back from the northern border, and he had passed away for more than half a month by the time he arrived at Beishan Manor. After the spirit pulse disintegrated, the muscles would dissolve quickly, and the whole person...was no longer an adult. In this way, after more than ten days, nothing can be found out at all."

Obviously, Pete, who was the housekeeper, must have been in charge of handling Filo's affairs at that time. He recalled something, and his expression and voice became heavy.

"Is it easy for auras to get these strange diseases?" Kaios said, "Old Lu also has that...aura that eats the heart? Is the probability of our auras getting sick too high?"

"Spiritualists and magicians are indeed often afflicted by various diseases. After all, they are cultivation... What the master means is that the death of the guard of Philo may also be related to that curse?"

"Since there can be a curse that causes 'spiritual energy rushing to the brain', it seems normal to have a curse that causes 'spiritual veins to disintegrate'?"

"What you said is indeed a bit abnormal. Originally, the guard of Philo was going to stay in the northern border until the end of that year, and then the old baron suddenly called him back. He didn't expect that on the way back..."

Keos pondered for a while, but he didn't continue to ask about Filo's death. Since he didn't even mention it in the old baron's diary, it is very unlikely that the old housekeeper knew the inside story, not to mention it has been so long, he Instead, he asked, "Where is Benin now?"

According to the diary of the old baron, Kaios has two masters who guide his spiritual energy, one is Philo and the other is Benin.

Moreover, Pete mentioned before that among the contracted servants that Keos had a good relationship with and had a lot of contact, Benin's name was also there.

When he first crossed, he was worried about revealing his secrets and didn't want to make troubles, so he naturally didn't want to meet people who were acquainted with the original owner.

But now that there are dangers everywhere, he still needs to pile up as many bargaining chips as possible for self-protection before digging further into the inside story.

"The chief guard of Benin should now be stationed at Camp No. [-] in Fengyuan, our northern border, to participate in Beituo's operations. If the master needs to call him back, he can send an urgent letter through Shengyou Palace. He will ride back on his own immediately after receiving the letter. It shouldn't take half a month."

"Well, you can arrange how to operate it. In short, let him rush back as soon as possible."

After explaining to Pete, Keos called Salveira in.

"Aren't you bored wearing this armor?" Kaios couldn't help asking when he realized that Salveira was wearing heavy armor now.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing his words, the bodyguard's pretty face turned red instantly, and then whispered: "Master...do you want me to take it off?"

Keos took a breath, hesitated for a moment, and then said quickly: "Where are you going! I mean you... Forget it, I want to ask you, when you practice, do you feel uncomfortable?" What about the situation, how do you get such diseases as spiritual energy eating the heart, spiritual energy rushing to the brain, and spiritual veins disintegrating? Will there be any omens?"

Salveira thought for a while, then shook her head: "I think the practice is quite simple and smooth, and I don't know why spiritual practitioners get those diseases, maybe I'm not old enough..."

"In short, pay attention to yourself. If you feel uncomfortable, you can ask Grossman or tell me in time." Keos explained.

Now Salveira is very important to him. Of course, this importance is not the importance of a beautiful girl's personal bodyguard, but that he can really sleep with peace of mind when she guards the door of his bedroom every day, so that he won't be able to find someone who is lurking around. The enemy is in constant fear.

And hearing his words of concern, Salveira was also very happy, even excited, with bright eyes, she nodded vigorously: "En!"

so cute...

It is still difficult for Kaios to connect her with the murderous and ruthless God of Killing he has seen before.

Seven days later, what Keos didn't expect was that, logically speaking, when the letter he sent to the northern border should still be on the way, the chief guard, Benin, had already arrived at Beishan Manor.
