Two hundred and forty-eighth chapter puzzled
Chapter 248: Unexplained
In this case, Alinn did everything he should have done.
The temporary palace was immediately blocked, on the grounds that "spy from other countries have sneaked in." Chief Scadra was in charge and immediately carried out an emergency cleaning of the insiders of the palace - all the guards, servants, maids, etc. The little queen was placed in the dormitory, guarded by Ashurufat and Lalia. He himself immediately summoned relevant officials to discuss and deal with various possible problems - especially with General Berel and the church. The former is okay, but it can be delayed, while the latter is very troublesome.
The high priest repeatedly expressed his apology, but at this time, apology was no longer meaningful. Fortunately, in addition to apologizing, the high priest also expressed his willingness to do everything possible to make up for his faults.
An urgent imperial meeting was immediately held in the prime minister's office. In another place, Ashu Rufat sat next to the little girl. A high-level female priest who was proficient in magic was accompanied by this, in order to observe the little queen's physical reaction at any time - if possible - to deal with it in time.
Since she was hit by the unknown evil magic, the little girl has been in a drowsy state. Anyone can quickly judge that this is a very bad state, because no matter whether she is pinching or shouting, she cannot wake her from her drowsy. However, other aspects are barely normal. The little girl looks breathing smoothly, and there are no abnormalities in all parts of her body, but her face looks too pale. The church's judgment is probably correct, this is a magic attack against the spirit. The only trouble is that this magic is probably prepared deliberately, or even specially developed. So although it is used very quickly and can resist interference, it may be quite powerful.
Soon, everyone else in the queen's dormitory left, leaving only three people including Asu Ruffat.
"Are you the Earl of Ashu Rufat?" The priestess of the church started to talk about it first. Speaking of which, the woman looked familiar, but Ashu Rufat couldn't remember who she was.
"It's me." Asu Rufate replied. Now, there are not so many people in the room, but rather than three people, Lalia hid her body in the darkness and hid her figure. I don't know if it was because of habit or instinctively trying to avoid Asu Rufate. "I... seem to have seen you?"
"We did see it," the priestess replied. It is particularly important to emphasize that the scar on the bridge of Eshu Rufate's nose is a very conspicuous sign, making him easy to remember - anyone who has seen him can impress the scar in a short time. "At a very inappropriate time, a very inappropriate place."
"I... don't understand very much."
"Do you remember now?"
Ashu Rufat immediately remembered. In that religious festival... he accidentally entered the queen's locker room...
It turned out to be her?! It was this priestess who raised his hand and gave him a fireball. If he hadn't known magic, he would probably be covered in fire scars even if he was not dead now.
But then again, at that time, the priestess' actions were not wrong. Who told Ash Rufate to stay in a place where he shouldn't be (especially he was discovered).
"Speaking of this, Count Ashu Rufat really seems to be proficient in magic. It seems that that time was not my illusion, nor was it my mistake." The priestess' eyes were on Ashu Rufat. "A person who masters the power of magic can wear armor and walk onto the battlefield... It's very rare. I wonder who the Count is from?"
Ash Rufat beaten up and dealt with this sharp problem. "At present, the most important thing for us is probably not about me, but about our little queen. I heard that the priests in the church are all masters of magic, and I don't know what the priests think about the chaotic magic that affects Her Majesty the Queen?"
"To be honest, I was not on the scene about the Chaos Witch. So it wasn't very clear." The priestess answered frankly. This was because the little queen was only accompanied by the high priest (Laria counted otherwise), and the others were outside the house. "But she was on the scene."
She pointed Lalia. "I think Miss Lalia should be able to explain it carefully to you."
Ashu Rufate's eyes also turned to Laria. After Ashu Rufate noticed her, Laria simply gave up her efforts to hide herself. She began to carefully talk about everything she saw. In particular, it was explained that the magic of the priests in the church was activated with all their strength, and the Chaos Wizard was unafraid and shot a green light in an understatement, hitting the little girl. And just such a magic that didn't seem dangerous directly made the little girl fall into a coma.
"What kind of magic is this?" Ashu Rufat asked the priestess.
"To be honest, I don't understand." The Priestess admitted. "According to the theory of magic, it is impossible to cast powerful magic in that situation. Because at that time, the Chaos Wizard Lord had to cross a long distance on the one hand, and was disturbed by powerful magic spells cast by many of us in union."
"What if...the magical energy was hidden somehow in advance? After all, they had a Chaos Wizard lurking nearby."
"That's impossible. The High Priest carries the Demon Breaking Scroll with him. Once he feels the threat, he will undoubtedly use the Demon Breaking Scroll immediately. But according to the High Priest, he did not feel any powerful magic energy at that time. Otherwise, he would use the Demon Breaking Scroll as soon as possible."
"So, I don't understand how the Chaos Wizard did this." The Priestess sighed. "This Chaos Witch should have been specially developed. It has exceeded my knowledge... Maybe it exceeds the theoretical scope of our entire magic system. In this regard, Chaos Witch does have a little advantage over us."
"Oh?" This is the first time that a church wizard has admitted that he is not as good as Chaos in terms of magic.
"Magic should be a prop, a power that can be mastered by humans. Our ordinary magic, that is, the "Eight Winds of Magic", is essentially the energy flowing in this world. You are also a magician, so you should understand that using magic to manipulate these energy is essentially the same as manipulating cannons to emit shells and scattering machines to throw out stones. In fact, the magician is using external power, and the manipulator is still a human. But the chaotic evil magic... introduces the power of the evil god, distorting, transforming, and polluting the original magic wind. This method of unscrupulous means certainly has its convenience..."
"This is not a magic of spiritual attack." Just as the priestess vigorously promoted the church's thoughts to Ash Rufat, a voice rang behind him.
It was Lalia who was talking.
The priestess's eyes immediately turned to Lalia. "Do you know magic too?" she asked with some confusion. "You know, according to the theory of magic, that Chaos Wizard is impossible..."
"This is not an attack magic." Lalia said to herself. "In that case, at such a close distance, she was so directly disturbed and affected by other magic... and then instantly emitted a deadly attack spell... Whether it is a mental attack or a physical attack, it is impossible."
"Are you a magician too?"
"No, I'm not...I...I don't understand magic." Lalia replied. "I'm different from you. I don't know anything about magic, but I can use some magic power...because I can directly feel the existence of magic."
"How is it possible? You are not a magic creature..." In the moment of the priestess' surprise, she felt Lalia embracing the magic wind. But she did not make any preparations for casting, and even did not do the most basic thing like gathering spirits. She seemed to just grab it casually, and the magic wind fell into her palm.
With the ability to feel magic after long-term exercise, the priestess realized that the other party's state was not normal... This is not a way for humans to use magic, but it is much simpler and more straightforward. This is something that even the Chaos Wizard cannot do, because the Chaos Wizard is also a human. Before any human magician casts magic, he must have a process of focusing on "communicating" the magic wind. This time is long or short, but it is indispensable.
But what Lalia had to say just now was more similar to an unintentional action. Of course, this also may be that she was gifted and the process of focusing on communicating the wind of magic was extremely short, which made outsiders feel illusioned.
Speaking of which, the people in the church are not just a waste of money. For example, almost all the senior officials of the church already knew Lariya's identity. This female guard of the queen who appeared at some time, the woman named Lariya is the legendary "Bloody Rose" in the city of Hawks. Of course, they also knew that Lariya was Rhodeya's sister. However, the rule in this world is that the king is the highest representative of the country and the spokesperson of the law. This is like recruiting bandits. No matter what crimes the bandits committed before, as long as the king himself approves them, all the crimes in the past will be eliminated.
"I don't actually understand any theory," Lalia said. "I just...it's like I know it naturally."
"If it's not aggressive magic, what is that?"
"This magic... plays a linking role." Lalia seemed to be recalling the scene at that time carefully. "It should be... connecting the wills of the two people together."
Will link? The priestess turned his head in confusion and looked at Ash Rufate. The latter made a gesture of "I don't quite understand". However, from Ash Rufate's thoughtful and flickering gaze, the priestess thought that he might be lying.
"How is Her Majesty the Queen?" She did not bother to speculate on Ashu Rufate's little thought, but asked Lariya. Because the latter was carefully observing the little girl at this time. The magic wind could effectively improve human perception ability, Lariya was probably trying to find some signs from the little girl.
Lalia did not answer, but continued to look at the little girl's face. At this time, the little girl let out a low moan and twisted her head. This was the first time she moaned after she fell into a coma.
Ash Rufat immediately came to the little girl and looked at the unconscious queen carefully. The little girl not only made a sound, but her hand seemed to want to grab something.
