The Forbidden Magical Laws of the Fallen Princess

In that case, I immediately asked Lila, the fastest runner among us, to call for support from the Royal City Guard. Although I don't want to kill anyone, I think it's better to capture them alive.

Because, how should I put it, if this guy died, if the living dead still existed, then it really meant that the problem was not solved!

At this time, I asked Angelize, Xiaobai and Elena to stand on both sides of me, ready to capture and arrest him at any time. As for me, I also had magic and the Feather of Fire ready at any time. If things really didn't work, the worst plan would be to burn down his entire house.

So I walked up the stairs to the door, swallowed nervously, and then used a little force and knocked softly on the door made of very solid wood.

"Who!"

However, at this moment, a familiar and impatient voice suddenly came from inside the door.

Then, a very hurried and impatient sound of footsteps came closer and closer, and then the door was opened instantly.

And this person is none other than the bearded Viscount Finnock.

He looked angry, as if something good had been disturbed.

However, when he saw me, his expression changed instantly.

That’s right, it’s the kind of smile that really deserves a beating.

"Ah, Princess, how come you have time to come to my humble abode?"

At this moment, I seemed to feel that beads of sweat began to seep out of his broad, bald forehead, as if he was afraid that others would know some shocking secret.

But my little werewolf Angelize has already noticed something strange in your house, so even if you have great abilities now, you can't escape from my grasp, so you'd better surrender yourself, otherwise I will definitely be rude to you.

Because my first impression of this guy was not very good.

"Well, I am here in the name of my father, King Yi, to investigate whether there are any living dead hidden in the rooms of all the nobles in the royal city. You know this, right?"

At this time, I deliberately startled him, because our reinforcements had not arrived at the scene yet, so it was possible for him to escape.

"Ah, of course I know. Please come in and search whatever you want."

However, at this moment he did not have the same momentum as when he was discussing the hall. Instead, he seemed like someone who wanted to please his master.

And words like this make me feel that this guy is very suspicious.

And there was no way Angelize could have mistaken the smell of that rotting corpse.

After all, her nose is thousands or even tens of thousands times more sensitive than ours.

So, we started searching for the bearded Viscount Finnok.

About three or four minutes passed, unfortunately, we did not find the area where the living dead were hiding.

This is a bit strange. Could it be that this bearded Viscount Finnok really has some special secret room hidden?

"Hahaha, Your Highness, I don't have it here, so you should search other nobles' houses."

At this time, I saw a dozen soldiers called by Lila behind me, and even the captain of the Royal City Guard came.

However, we have no clue at all, which makes me feel a little embarrassed.

"No... Princess, there is definitely something fishy going on here."

At this time, Angelize was still sniffing and checking everywhere.

Suddenly, as if she had smelled something important, she ran to a fireplace and stopped.

"Your Highness, the smell is coming from here."

Angelize said with great confidence at this time.

"Um……"

Really, at this moment, the soldier and the captain of the guard were still blocking the door, as if something unexpected had happened and they were planning to arrest the bearded Viscount Finnock alive.

The captain of the guard team is quite powerful, and he also knows some high-level magic. Therefore, if the bearded Viscount Finnok is really the corpse carrier, he will definitely not be able to escape.

"Wow, Evril, look at this vase, it's so delicate."

At this moment, Lila ran to the fireplace and immediately fell in love with the silver-white vase that was two sizes larger than her palm.

"Oh, young lady, please don't touch it. It is worth hundreds of gold pieces."

Seeing Lila coming to the silver-white vase, the bearded Viscount Finnok became even more panicked. He shouted to her and tried to rush over.

However, Lila seemed to be frightened as well. Her eyes were only on the vase, and she didn't pay attention to the vase. Then, Lila grabbed the vase directly in her hand, and then she dropped it to the ground with a "pop".

In an instant, Lila's face turned ugly, because she knew that she had made a big mistake because of her curiosity.

"Y...Yveline..."

At this time, Lila made a pitiful sound and asked me for help.

However, at this moment, the wall of the fireplace began to separate, and then a huge box came out.

"This is……"

At this moment, I couldn't help but walk forward with some doubt, intending to find out what was going on, but I was suddenly blocked by the bearded Viscount Finnock.

"Your Highness, this is my private matter, please don't get involved."

"Your Highness, that smell is indeed coming from this box."

At this time, Angelize said with confidence.

"Ah...this."

"Viscount Finnock the Bearded, please do not interfere with public affairs. If you stop us again, I can have you arrested and dealt with right now."

At this point I said mercilessly.

"Uh... okay, okay."

At this time, the bearded Viscount Finnock did not fold, so he slowly turned his body and stood aside.

His body couldn't help but tremble, and his forehead, which was about to become bald, was already soaked with sweat, and seemed to be still steaming.

It seems that there is something hidden in here that cannot be seen by people.

So, without saying anything, I observed the wooden box directly, then found the valve and clicked it, and directly opened the lid of the wooden box.

What appeared was not a zombie, but a girl who was probably less than 20 years old, with a look that even made me feel a little surprised.

Chapter 55 The situation began to deteriorate further

I saw the young girl lying there quietly with her eyes closed, and she was no longer alive.

Moreover, I could clearly see that many parts of her body had begun to rot and emitted a foul smell.

I can't help but feel a little sorry for this young girl. She was still at the prime of her life, and she died just like that.

"You bastard, I thought the daughter of Baron Ke Fulan was really missing, but I didn't expect that you would actually kill her, you are worse than an animal."

As he said this, the captain of the guards burst into anger, stretched out his hand and grabbed the viscount's collar, and kept pulling it up.

Originally, there was indeed a huge difference between the position of captain of guard and viscount. One was a noble position, while the other might be held by a commoner or a minor noble.

But the fact that the Viscount committed a crime has been confirmed, so now, even if the Earl is here again, he can punish him directly.

This is because the position of the chief guard is actually of this nature, and once the evidence is conclusive, he will have extremely great power.

Just like that, the bearded Viscount Finnock was taken away by the captain of the guard and handed directly to my father, Emperor Yi, to decide what to do next. The body of the daughter of Baron Kefulan could only be returned to her family. If nothing is wrong, about half of the Viscount's property will be used to comfort his family.

However, I haven't found any clues about the corpse deliverer and the zombies. Although I did solve a missing case, it has nothing to do with our main goal this time.

The sky was beginning to darken, and it looked like that was the end of our journey for today.

Now in the entire royal city, apart from six or seven noble families living in more remote areas, the only thing left is the cathedral of the Kingdom of the Beginning.

That's right, this is the guy in power who is always smiling hypocritically. Of course, he has basically the same power as me.

However, the Pope should be a worshiper of God and light, so how could he be associated with corpse carriers and even demons?

But if the Pope and the Church have no connection with the corpse carriers and the living dead, then where can so many living dead go?

Is there any other place in the royal city of the Beginning Country that can hide so many living dead?

So, this remains a mystery until now.

However, I ran much further today than yesterday. Although I still have no clue about the disappearance of the living dead, I was still scared to death.

It really is not worth it.

Forget it, never mind. That’s all for today. I’m going to take a shower, eat, and rest. I’ll start the final investigation early tomorrow morning.

In fact, the royal city had issued a curfew before, which meant that everyone had to return to their rooms before 6:30 and lock their doors.

Even if someone knocks or calls, you must never open the door.

Because I don't know whether the people outside are human, living dead, or ghosts...

If you disobey the curfew and are discovered by the soldiers on duty, the consequences will be quite serious.

Even execution on the spot was permitted.

So, after we all took a shower and had our meal, we all went to bed.

However, around midnight, I seemed to hear a bell ringing "ding-ling, ding-ling" outside. Although it was not ringing very frequently, it was indeed ringing.

Maybe because the sound was not particularly loud, we didn’t pay much attention and continued to sleep.

And so, at daybreak, we walked out of the room.

Then he finished his breakfast quickly as usual, and began his final visit to the homes of other nobles, inquiring and searching for the whereabouts of the living dead and the corpse deliverer.

It’s a pity that the weather on this day was not particularly sunny. It was basically covered with dark clouds and there was not a trace of sunshine.

Gusts of biting and cold wind blew from the north from time to time, making us shiver.

Just as we walked out of the castle gate, my father, Emperor Yi, called us to stop and summoned the generals nearby and in the royal city to start an emergency meeting.

That's right, things have started to deteriorate further because of this incident which we speculate is the zombies.

There are now nearly a thousand earth pits everywhere in the city of the Beginning Country. However, the most terrifying thing is that there are signs that several households living in villages outside the city have been attacked.

That's right, the whole room was covered in blood, and this could never have been caused by human or material means. Instead, it was as if something, probably something like teeth, had bitten the aorta, causing the blood to spurt.

At the same time, no tragic corpse was seen at the scene, but a lot of blood could be seen running away, and traces of being dragged outside the house.

It seems that this is enough to prove that this was definitely caused by the living dead eating human corpses.

And it's not just one family. Roughly speaking, almost ten families have been attacked. There are even entire villages of five or six households that have been attacked. All of them are in the same situation as before.

It seems that this living dead is not ordinary ferocious, and it is difficult for normal people to deal with it.

After this matter was reported, all the generals and nobles instantly became panic-stricken, because no one would have thought that things had become so urgent.

What will this country of the beginning become in ten days or half a month? This makes all of us very worried.

This time, not only me, but also several other kingdom investigators could not find any clues. It seems that this corpse deliverer is really cunning and is very good at hiding.

However, it has now expanded to nearly a thousand living dead, so it is easier to find.

Because there are very few places that can accommodate a thousand people. No, there are very few.

Therefore, we just need to search the remaining areas that have been excluded and perhaps we can find some clues.

However, this time, the Pope who had been sitting opposite me did not participate in the meeting. His subordinates reported that he had caught a cold two days ago and was not able to get out of bed.

Could it be such a coincidence that he fell ill at this critical moment? In an instant, I directed all my suspicions towards the Pope and the Cathedral of the Beginning Kingdom.

Because, in this kingdom, apart from the castle, the largest building is the Cathedral of the Beginning Kingdom.

Really, if one wanted to hide nearly a thousand undead, this cathedral might be a very good place.

Just like that, by the time the meeting ended, it was almost noon, and without even having lunch, we got on the escort carriage and headed full speed towards the cathedral of the Kingdom of the Beginning.

When I arrived at the scene, it was almost evening. That's right, I had less than an hour and a half to search. If I could find the location, then it would be a success. If I couldn't find the location, I had to evacuate without delay.

Because no one would have thought that they would be attacked by the living dead in the middle of the night...

Chapter 56: To the Cathedral

The wind in the afternoon was much colder than in the morning, which made all of us shiver.

At this time, I asked the soldiers of the guard, about ten of them, and Louise to stand outside and wait, while Lila, Elena, Xiaobai and Angelize, I went in. If anything happened, I would try my best to signal them. If I was in danger, I would let Louise go to the royal city to mobilize people to surround the cathedral.

Because this place is really far away from the royal city... We don't know when we can get support, so we should try our best to get things done, and put our own lives first.

"But today is a little strange."
