When the Saint comes, she does not collect food

Chapter 635 Lightning Slime?
When Horn changed into a neat jacket and appeared in the alley near the official residence square, what he saw was Lana shivering in a blanket.

The little girl Lana looked listless, even her two pigtails that were full of energy were hanging down on her shoulders like frizzy hair, her eyes were full of fear and dread.

Several psychic wizards and priests surrounded her, sweating profusely, using divine spells and magical arts to soothe her mind.

Although she is just a little maid, she has served as the personal maid of Saint Jeanne, the chief exorcist, and Saint Shilov, the dean of the Natural Theological Seminary, and was even responsible for Horn's daily meals.

She was attacked near the square of the official residence, and even struck by lightning. Isn't this a slap in the face of the Papal Palace?
Horn's face turned gloomy, which was unusual for him.

After the lightning accident, this mysterious wizard or monster never appeared again.

In order to catch this mysterious man, he even added a large number of night watchmen and gendarmes, and patrolled every day.

It was a pity that after three months of rumors, nothing was caught. Just in time for the beginning of spring, news of the great victory at Cheese Bay came, and in order not to affect trade, the City Hall had to cancel the search.

Horn originally thought that this wizard or monster had already left Autumn Dusk Island, but it turned out that after lurking for more than half a year, it attacked again at this moment.

And his first attack was a big one, he actually attacked the people around Horn. Fortunately, Lana was fine.

Walking to the wall, Horn reached out and touched the still warm wall, which was the remaining trace of lightning.

Large pieces of mortar and lime had fallen off, revealing the red brick walls inside, and the air was filled with the stench of burnt chicken feathers.

There was a broken wooden lunch box on the ground, with the pea soup inside spilled all over the floor. There were even traces of burnt marks on the cheese cake and white bread.

"Who is in charge of the scene?" Horn asked coldly.

The captain of the night watch in this block wore a black nail cap and had a gear iron arm on his right hand. He walked quickly to Horn and said, "Your Majesty, it's me."

"Tell me about it." Horn's expression softened a little.

This person is obviously a veteran of the Salvation Army. To be precise, Qiumu Island is able to have one law enforcer for every hundred people, all thanks to these retired veterans who have found new jobs.

Based on the old soldier's words, Horn gradually understood that he had previously ordered Lana to bring food, and the little girl prepared the meal in Horn's mansion.

She should have called the guards for protection, but today she did not call the guards and came alone.

When passing through this alley, he happened to be in the blind spot of the patrolling night watchman, and as soon as he turned the corner, he was attacked.

When the night watchmen arrived, all they saw was Lana who had fallen down and food all over the floor.

"So she was the only witness?" Horn whispered.

"I'm afraid so, and he's the only survivor." The old soldier glanced at Lana with pity.

At this moment, Lana had been soothed by several rounds of mental magic and divine spells, and her spirit had stabilized a lot. After noticing the looks in the two men's eyes, she walked straight towards Horn.

"Don't be afraid, little Lana." Horn put on a gentle smile and stroked Lana's head. "I'll ask the Cheka to send someone to protect you. Remember to take the main road next time."

Lana mustered up the courage to say, "I, I saw it, I saw what it looked like."

René hurried over to where he had just finished listening to the night watchman's report, stepped forward, and asked in a cold voice: "What does it look like? Is it a human or a monster?"

"It's a monster, a monster slime!" Lana's body was still shaking slightly when she said this. After all, ordinary people would be in danger of death when facing monsters. "And it's a blue fluorescent slime."

Horn and Rene looked at each other. Although they guessed it was a monster, they never expected it to be a slime.

If it's acid slime or herbal slime, it's acceptable, but what kind of combination is lightning slime?
"It, it's obviously a slime, its body is transparent, with light blue mucus inside and placenta." Lana swallowed, "But it has limbs and sharp teeth, look!"

Lana rolled up her sleeves, revealing a row of fine, bloody teeth marks on her skinny arms.

René, who was standing by, pulled Lana's arm roughly in front of him and even reached out to touch it. Lana immediately glared and pulled her hand back. René didn't care and turned to Horn and whispered, "It's the size of a cat's teeth, but it has two layers of teeth inside and outside, and it's probably a round mouthpart."

Horn nodded and continued to stroke Lana's head gently: "Any other clues? Don't worry, you can tell me whenever you think of it."

Lana thought for a moment and said, "It seems to have a very long mouth. I don't know if it is its mouth or nose."

"Are there any slime cores?"

"Yes." Lana insisted, "When I threw it against the wall, it barked. When it ran away, it even yelled at me!"

A slime that can use its body to mimic limbs, has a mouth, and can even roar threats at Lana?

"Monster Slime?"

A psychic wizard from the Baldhead Society shook his head: "The monster slime does not have this kind of attack power and offensiveness. We have seen a lot of monster slimes in the Black Snake Bay.

Their biggest feature is not that they can use spells, but that they are large in size and can devour and command other slimes, so they are also called Slime Kings.

For a slime like this that can simulate limbs and even have vocal organs, I guarantee that it is either the work of the Holy Spirit cough cough cough hmmmm... or it is not a slime at all."

Horn's brows frowned even more tightly. He didn't care whether it was a slime or some other monster. What he cared about was where did it come from?
There was no such thing on the island before they arrived. How did it appear? Could it have been dug out by the dredging project?

Or...is it the church that is causing trouble?
After the capture of Feiliu Castle, according to the church archives and the correspondence between the bishop and the witcher castle, it can be seen that the other party's budget was only enough to deploy a team of witchers.

Did they bring this thing in?

That's impossible. All the witchers back then have been caught. Now they are directly hired by the prison as Cheka instructors. They should have explained everything they need to explain.

René's lower eyelids twitched twice, and he immediately turned sideways and ordered, "Keep an eye on those demon hunter instructors. If they show any signs of escaping, use means less than death."

"clear."

Several capable Chekas quickly left the scene.

Horn instructed several night watch captains, "Didn't we get a few hounds recently? Bring it out. That monster must have Lana's blood in its body. Oh, and take Lana to the clinic to prevent her from being poisoned."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Lana was held in the arms of three or five tall guards and escorted out of the alley.

Horn quietly put the matter on the agenda and prepared to bring it up at the regular meeting as soon as possible, while cleaning the sewers of the original ruined town and looking for the damn lightning slime.

Looking at Lana's back disappearing around the corner, Horn couldn't help but sigh: "She's lucky she didn't get electrocuted."

"Hard to say."

Horn turned to look at René in confusion, but René tugged at his clothes and pointed at the wall.

The first time Horn saw the direction René was pointing, his pupils shrank sharply.

On one side of the scorch mark, there was a small black lightning scorch mark on the red brick wall that was independent of the other scorch marks. Although the outline was blurry, it could be clearly seen as long as you got closer.

It was a palm print! Even the palm lines were clearly visible!
But these are obviously signs of being burned by lightning, and there is neither dust nor injuries on Lana's hands!

René whispered meaningfully, "Do you remember that Lana was infected with the witch disease for the second time before she recovered from the first infection?"

Horn was stunned, and quickly ordered: "When Lana is examined, send a sample of blood to the Mechanical Palace."
