The immortal black snake just wants to live simply

Seeing the change in the temperament of the woman in front of him, fear once again invaded the warlock's mind.

And this time, the fear made him feel more suffocated than the woman's weird laughter echoing in his ears just now... and even made him forget to keep his spell running.

He looked at the woman in front of him in a daze, as if he saw the figure of the Witch King in her... But the other person was not the Witch King, this was something the Warlock could be sure of.

After all, anyone who has experienced the era of the Witch King's rule knows his Majesty's temper.

As he was dying of consciousness, a terrible suspicion emerged from the bottom of his heart.

'How dare she tarnish His Majesty's power! '

Chapter 373 Gertrude: I got up, and I was dead in one move. What is there to say?

Gertrude got up, and the move was instantaneous. There was nothing to say.

The warlock can't even feel any heat, spell fluctuations or sounds in the surrounding environment. In an instant, he is like a twisted Rubik's cube being manipulated by some invisible force.

Hands, feet, eyes, mouth, nose, trunk, internal organs... all the parts of his body were broken up and reassembled.

Including the warlock's staff, clothes and mask, they were also embedded in this bloody ball of flesh.

And the spells that he was ready to use and that he was proud of even drifted away in the wind like bubbles... and died together with the long-distance communication skills that he used his own life to connect.

he died.

Can't die anymore.

"Ugh……"

But at this time, Gertrude, whose long hair touched the ground and her eyes were glowing red, was very dissatisfied with this result.

She looked at her right hand with bulging veins and the dull staff in her palm that was on the verge of breaking.

'Sure enough, even if this body holds a large number of earthly sounds in its hands, coupled with my understanding of the Witch King and his magic, can it only do this? '

'Obviously I want him to live...'

After all, that would provide more deterrence to the Witch King's remnants, and make it easier to 'confirm' the 'crime' of the Queen's secret agent in Xizhao District who colluded with the Witch King's remnants.

But even if you die, it won't be a problem, the effect will be a little less than that at best.

Gertrude's cloudy and scarlet eyes became clear again, and her frightening aura shrank... Only the long hair that spread on the floor did not shrink back.

She took a step forward, but almost tripped over her hair.

'...How does the Witch King tolerate such long hair? '

'You'd rather develop a spell to keep your hair clean and make it easier for your body to move around, than cut it off, right? '

Gertrude thought about it in her heart, but she still followed the spells taught to her by the Witch King in the past to maintain her dignity.

She threw the damaged staff on the ground and snapped her fingers with her good left hand.

With a crisp "bang", the eyes of the surrounding security personnel who had been controlled by the warlock in advance returned to clarity, and at the same time, the 'causes and consequences' of what had just happened appeared in their minds.

The "meat ball" on the ground is the remnant of the Witch King, and it has already seduced a Queen's secret agent to murder Lady Gertrude, who is unspeakably loyal to Her Majesty the Queen!

One of the security personnel looked at the pile of inhuman corpses and smelled the smell of blood in the air. Although he was a little afraid, he hurriedly walked to Gertrude, lowered his head and apologized:

"I'm sorry, sir... we have failed to live up to your expectations."

But Gertrude just gave up and said gently:

"It's not your fault. This warlock is at least the 'violinist' of the [Chief Orchestra]... It's normal that you can't cope with each other's spells."

"But with the lessons learned this time, I hope you can understand your own shortcomings. As Leitanians, we should maintain the habit of studying Originium skills throughout our lives and never slack off."

"I obey your will." The security guard said respectfully.

Although the ball of flesh transformed from a human still gave everyone a horrifying impression, and Gertrude's exaggeratedly long hair at this time even reminded people of the shadow that had shrouded Letania for decades.

But the kindness and tolerance shown by Gertrude once again dispelled everyone's uneasiness.

'As expected of Ms. Gertrude, even when she is so busy with official duties, she is able to apply Originium skills to such an extent! '

Just when the security guard gathered his companions and prepared to clean the scene, he found that Gertrude was still standing motionless.

"My lord, do you have any orders?"

The security guard looked nervously at Gertrude, who had her arms crossed and seemed to be thinking about something serious.

'That's right. Facing the Queen's spies who may be colluding with the Witch King's remnants, your Excellency must also feel very troubled, right? '

'In order to protect the Sunset District and the entire Vesselheim, you have really paid too much...'

But Gertrude actually didn't think that much.

She was just thinking about whether to ask the other party to take a pair of scissors and cut off the long hair that had touched the ground... at least not to hinder movement.

'Oh, although my experiment this time is to steal the power of the Witch King, so the body's speech, behavior, and even appearance must be transformed into that of the Witch King... But long hair, isn't it too troublesome? '

'Tsk! '

'Why did I casually compliment him on how beautiful his long hair is? '

Yes.

Although both men and women in Leitania like to keep their hair long, some people's hair can even reach their waist without letting it fall apart...

But there is no such thing as the Witch King's long hair that can spread on the ground.

And this was just because of... a perfunctory and unintentional remark made by a certain black snake.

……

'Why is there no movement yet? '

In the Sunset District, a coffee shop owner named Biegler was sitting in his coffee shop, looking at a blank piece of letter paper in front of him.

He is the secret agent contacted by the warlock, and he is also a colleague of Grandpa Bai Chuo.

Through some searches, he found some clues, but did not find enough evidence to convict Gertrude.

He knew that Gertrude was studying the sounds of the world, but he didn't know how far the other party's research went... so he took the initiative to lure Bai Chuo to Weshelheim in the name of Grandpa Bai Chuo's illness.

Because he knew that Gertrude was also looking for chalk, and was about to find it.

Rather than making Gertrude's research more perfect, it would be better to take the initiative to send chalk to Gertrude's hands, making her think that the opportunity is unmissable and preventing the other party from making adequate preparations.

What's more, there is also a warlock from the [Chief Orchestra] who supports him... In the previous contacts, the secret agent had already found out the other party's true identity without the warlock's knowledge.

In terms of investigation ability, the Queen's spies are countless times better than the tower warlocks.

'Why hasn't there been any news? '

Begler was vaguely uneasy.

Logically speaking, the other party should have finished their action...

At this moment, the crowd in the museum suddenly became commotion.

More than a dozen heavily armed knights poured into the cafe. What was even more unsettling was that through the glass, one could see the purple light condensing in the hands of four robed warlocks outside the cafe.

"When the gendarmerie is doing its business, please keep quiet and don't move. Otherwise, you will be arrested for obstructing law enforcement."

One of the leading knights shouted harshly.

Biegler watched the five knights walking straight towards him. Just as he was about to take out the certificates in his arms, he was overpowered by the other party with lightning speed and restrained his movement.

"Biegler! Be honest, your trouble has happened!"

Chapter 374 The snake comes and the fog comes

"Wait...you can't arrest me."

"It's too late to start quibbling now. I didn't expect it, Biegeler... I used to drink coffee at your place. Your craftsmanship is among the best in the Xizhao District. Why do you want to collude with the Witch King's remnants?"

"……I do not have."

"You mean you don't have it? Don't quibble... The blank letter on your desk has been sent to the tower warlock for inspection. They will soon be able to restore the contact information between you and the caster. If you are really just a cafe owner, how can you own such a thing?"

"...You can search my body. There are corresponding documents there, which can prove my identity."

"Ha! Then I have to search carefully... uh."

"Have you finished reading? As a military policeman of Leitania, you will not forget the certificate issued by Her Majesty the Queen herself, right? You have no right to arrest the Queen's spies."

"...I'm sorry, your handcuffs can't be removed yet."

"...What do you mean? Do you dare to betray Letania and the Queen for Gertrude?!"

"...No, I didn't."

"Then hurry up and untie me before you make a big mistake... I must report the information in my hand to Her Majesty the Queen immediately."

"No, you can't leave until the investigation is completed...this is Ms. Gertrude's order!"

"you……"

"Shut up, Mr. Secret Agent - I don't know if your ID is genuine, but I'll just assume it is."

"..."

"But even if it is true, my colleagues and I will not let you go because of this. What we don't believe is not the Queen's secret agent. We just simply don't believe in a man who has been lurking in the Xizhao District for more than ten years and is working with the Witch King's remnants. You have connections and even participated in planning the assassination of Ms. Gertrude!”

"You were deceived. It was all the conspiracy of that woman Gertrude..."

"Come on, people like you always think that Ms. Gertrude has some conspiracy, but I believe my own eyes more than your mouth."

"..."

"Although I am not an infected person, and I do have some sympathy for those infected, at best I only show kindness when I have some spare money in my pocket... But Ms. Gertrude is different, she supports the entire Sunset District The good life now for those infected.”

"Those are all disguises..."

"Disguise? Do you think that all the people who take the initiative to say hello to the lady on the street are blind? Everyone sees the care and dedication of the Earl in Sunset District... and she is also the only noble I admire from the bottom of my heart. "

"..."

"We are only arresting you now, instead of executing you for endangering the public safety of Vesselheim, murder, and colluding with the Witch King's remnants. It's just because Ms. Gertrude has always been fair and strict... Originally we planned to let the psion pry open Your mouth, but since you may be the Queen’s spy, we must report to the Queen so that your majesties can send trustworthy psychics.”

"..."

"So during this period, if you are really innocent, just give me a rest for a while."

Biegler looked with some despair at the military policeman in front of him who was full of distrust in him.

Is the Queen's Voice so easy to control? !

Especially warlocks who are proficient in the spiritual field, under the threat of a certain evil god who always likes to wander around, in Leitania... and even in various countries and regions, they can be said to be at their wits end.

By the time one of them arrives, Gertrude's plan may have been completed long ago!

Unless someone reports to the Queen, it is suspected that Gertrude has been possessed by the evil god of Ursus... But to be honest, even Begler does not think that Gertrude has been corrupted by the black snake.

As for why...

That's of course because ever since Gertrude came into contact with Count Utica, there have been special warlocks who checked her.

The Queen's Voice, who is proficient in spiritual Source Stone arts, reported that everything was normal.

But Biegler didn't know that a month after the report, the Queen's Voice was blown up by her own magic ball because she neglected protective measures while studying Originium skills in the tower.

For an experienced Leitanian warlock who has studied the art of Origin Stone for a long time, this situation of being stupidly killed by his own momentary negligence...

It is simply no different from [suicide].

Of course, even if it is proven that there was no erosion in the past, it does not mean that it is not being eroded now.

But since the Queen came to power, different interest groups within Leitania have also used this method to criticize their respective political opponents in order to curb their opponents' actions for a short period of time.

This has resulted in the Queen's Voice being significantly less sensitive to such reports.

Just like the story of the boy who cried wolf, if you hear it too often, you won’t take it too seriously.

Therefore, the queens have increased the cost of reporting to avoid a large amount of waste of precious resources.

After all, human energy is limited...

Although the evil god's energy is not unlimited, it is indeed powerful beyond almost everyone's imagination.

In the living room of Czerny's house, only Heijian and Czerny were left.
