"Really don't you want to try it? It's very cheap."
The young man took the necklace and waved it in front of Licaro's eyes deliberately.
"No, bye."
Licaro stopped talking to the man, packed her breakfast on a plate, and went upstairs to her room.
Looking at her leaving back, the young man's eyes gradually became cold.
Just now he deliberately shook the necklace in front of the blonde girl, but he didn't expect that the other party had no reaction.
So he started looking for his next target, and later sold a few necklaces, which was considered a gain.
Those who wear these necklaces will be affected by the power of disaster within and eventually become believers of disaster.
If infiltration is to be carried out, it would be more effective to start from princes, nobles and wealthy businessmen because of their great influence.
After meeting his accomplice, the young man told him about the situation of the blonde girl.
Being immune to the effects of the necklace, she should be a clergyman of the Church of Light.
But the blonde girl wasn't very strong, and the young man thought he could defeat her on his own.
And when he tried to detect the magic power in the girl's body, he found it was blank, so he could rule out the possibility that the girl was a magician.
The clergy of the Church of Light itself do not use the ordinary magic system, but the system of light magic.
In any case, the clergy who are immune to control must be assassinated, otherwise the subsequent infiltration will encounter great resistance.
The blonde girl has been added to the watch list, and if the opportunity arises, she will be killed.
……
When she returned to the room, Eloline had already woken up. After washing her face and getting dressed, she was sitting by the bed waiting for her to come back.
"Good morning, Lynn."
"Good morning darling."
After a delicious breakfast, Eloline began to look through the atlas, planning where to go for the day.
"Is the Imperial City Library very big?"
"It's the largest in the empire. It has almost every kind of book. Do you want to read?"
"Well, check the information or something..."
Eloline thought that since it was the largest library in the empire, the books inside should contain records of methods to prolong life.
After getting happiness, Eloline wanted to keep it.
She didn't want to experience the same feeling as Vitien again.
Licaro was very smart. When she heard Eloline say she was going to the library, she guessed what Eloline wanted to do.
Although Eloline likes history very much, what makes her so eager to go to the library while she is traveling is not to look for history books.
Although it was sad to bring up this topic, Lika Luo couldn't help but ask: "Lin, if, I mean if, I died of old age or due to other reasons, what would you do?"
"I will live well."
Hearing her words, Licaro showed a happy expression.
However, Eloline changed the subject: "Do you think I would say that?"
"Eh?"
"If you die, I'll die with you."
Eloline's words were sincere, Licaro was the most precious person to her in this world.
In her previous life, as a human on Earth, she lived for less than eighteen years due to a congenital disease. In her opinion, being able to reincarnate in another world and gain a new life is already a good thing.
In other words, even if he died for Likalo, there is nothing to be regretful about.
"No! This is a very extreme idea!"
Licaro knew that Eloline loved her very much, and she could also feel Eloline's love, but for the sake of her lover, she hoped that Eloline could still live well after her death.
But, it is not possible without any pain.
"Let's not discuss this topic anymore. We still have a lot of time." Eloline didn't want to discuss it any further.
"Well, let's not talk anymore."
Licaro secretly made up her mind to find a way to prolong her life.
Eloline thought the same thing at this time.
There are so many long-lived races in this world. Maybe we can find the secret to longevity from them?
Besides, there are so many relics, secret treasures and the like, which might be useful.
Eloline felt that gods might really exist in this world, so theoretically there was nothing that was absolutely impossible.
She would find a way.
"Then let's get ready to go to the library. If we go too late, we might have to queue up."
Likalo packed her things and prepared to leave.
"Well, let's go."
It’s hard to say what the future will be like, but the present time is very precious, and Eloline knows that she must cherish it.
The Imperial Library is located in the south of the city, and it takes a long time to walk there.
Although there were carriages available for hire in the city, both Eloline and Licaro wanted to walk there.
Because you can encounter many interesting things on the road.
Today, many soldiers in silver armor appeared on the streets of the imperial city. Their emblems were not those of the Royal Guard, but those of the Church of Light.
Licaro explained: "These should be knights of the church, who obey the orders of the Pope."
"What are they doing? Are they investigating something?"
"I don't know either." Likalo shook her head. "The knights of the church usually don't go out."
No matter what, the deployment of the Church Knights definitely means something is going to happen.
Hopefully the trip won't be affected.
PS: Modo Modo!
Chapter 2 - Disaster 070 The Assassination of the Cultists
The situation in the imperial city has become very serious. More than a dozen items with cult power were found yesterday alone, and the people who possessed those items were unconsciously affected in their thinking.
It is currently unknown how many members of the cult have infiltrated the Imperial City...
These cult members are very cunning. They make things that carry cult power into various types of accessories and sell them to rich and powerful people.
Therefore, most of the seized holders of cult items were nobles and businessmen. The cultists also knew that these people held the power of speech, and controlling them was the most effective means.
This morning, the Church of Light destroyed three secret cult strongholds in the eastern district of the Imperial City, and liberated hundreds of people from the control of the cult.
However, it is still unknown how many cult strongholds there are in the imperial city. The Church of Light realizes the seriousness of the situation, and therefore begins to send out church knights and clergy on a large scale to curb the development of the cult.
At the same time, there were reports of many clergy being assassinated when they were off guard. The church had no choice but to have clergy act in small teams so that they could look after each other.
The undercurrent in the imperial city seemed to have nothing to do with Eloline and Licaro. The two of them came to the library, paid a deposit and walked in.
There are so many books in the library that finding a book is a very boring process, and you may not get any results in the whole day.
"Let's look for it separately, maybe it will be more efficient." Licaro suggested.
"Well, yes."
Eloline and Licaro agreed on a place to meet again, and then each entered the ocean of bookshelves.
The Imperial City Library not only has ordinary books, but also various magic books and banned books, but they are guarded by staff.
Eloline even saw a place like a forbidden library, but customers were not allowed to enter. There must be a lot of good things hidden in it.
On the other hand, Likalo is also looking for a book that records methods to prolong life.
She was searching among the many bookshelves, completely unaware of the person following her.
The library is very large, so large that even though there are many customers, there is no one to be seen between many bookshelves, making it look very empty.
When Licaro came to a more remote bookshelf, the stalker hiding in the dark also revealed himself.
He was the young man who tried to sell Licaro the necklace this morning.
Looking at the blonde girl in front of him who was not affected by the disaster, the man took out a dagger with black patterns and stabbed her fiercely from behind.
Licaro sensed the danger approaching, but she reacted a step too late. Although she avoided the direct attack of the dagger, her arm was cut with a bloody wound.
When she came to the imperial city before, she was wearing full body leather armor, but in order to move more easily, Likalo had already changed into her everyday dress.
The air was very quiet, and blood flowed from Licaro's arm to the ground, making a dripping sound.
Licaro had no time to think, because the young man immediately launched a second attack.
This time, Likalo instantly summoned a magic shield and deflected the man's dagger.
Seeing this scene, the man was very surprised. Doesn’t this blonde girl have magic power in her body?
Lightning Arrow
Licaro understood that the man was going to assassinate her. With her life threatened, she had no time to think and directly attacked the man with a single magic that had little destructive power to the terrain.
"Humph! With your strength... Ugh!"
The expression on the man's face was originally full of disdain, but when his body was hit by the lightning arrow, the dagger in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and then he fell down.
Dead, dead… ?
Licaro couldn't believe it. Her magic power shouldn't be enough to kill the man in front of her. Why did he kill him instantly?
After taking a few breaths, Licaro felt a stinging sensation from the wound on her arm, and she called out to attract the attention of the library staff.
Looking at the body of the man in front of her, Licaro suddenly covered her heart.
what happened……
Why are you so...excited...
The last time she killed someone was when she was seeking revenge for the Kingdom of Lombard. She also felt this excitement after killing the bearded lord, and then she killed many soldiers.
Now Licaro felt that her sanity was gradually slipping away, and the urge to kill began to arise in her heart again.
There are so many people in the library... If I kill a few more... hehe...
Suddenly she opened her eyes wide, terrified by what she had just thought.
No, she had to control herself.
Her arm was still hurting, so Licaro gritted her teeth and hardened her heart, pounding her wound hard.
After being stimulated, the pain in the wound became more intense, and correspondingly, the horrible thoughts in her mind just now were suppressed.
Now Likalo's clothes have been stained red with her own blood. She kneels on the ground weakly, gasping for breath.
Why do I have such thoughts after I killed someone...
She would not feel any emotion when seeing others die, but when others died because of her, she would be very excited.
I was so excited that I felt like I had done something right.
Looking at the wound on her arm that was still bleeding, Licaro released ice magic on it, freezing the entire wound.
Although this method of stopping bleeding is somewhat simple and crude, it is still barely effective.
The man's body was lying in front of her, but she didn't dare look at it again, because if she did, she would feel excited again.
Likalo realized that her thoughts were very similar to those of the villains in novels. Feeling pleasure from killing people was definitely not what she really thought!
The library staff should have noticed when I released the lightning arrow just now, after all, there are magicians here.
Sure enough, several staff members soon came to the bookshelf where Licaro was. When they saw the corpse on the ground and the injured Licaro, they were stunned for a moment.
Licaro was too lazy to explain anything to them. She stood up from the ground and showed the Duke's family emblem she carried with her.
"I will explain the situation after the soldiers of the Royal Guard arrive. Now please find someone named Eloline and ask her to come over. She is also in the library."
