Chapter 107

They all sighed, unaware that the danger was approaching, and thought this was a special arrangement by Earl Hagen.

Earl Hagen scratched his thin hair and asked the butler with a smile, "Did I arrange fireworks?"

"You made arrangements, but the time doesn't seem to have arrived."

"Then the pyrotechnician made a mistake, but his skill is indeed worthy of praise, and I want to reward him."

Earl Hagen said with a smile.

"Dad, I like these fireworks, they are so special."

Andy Hagen took Count Hagen's hand and said.

Mrs. Suman raised her head, looked at the purple blood in the sky, and showed a strange expression.

While everyone was immersed in the atmosphere of carnival and joy, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Locke, who was stained with blood again, rushed in, took off his mask, and said seriously,

"The Fallen Angel Party is attacking, everyone hurriedly hides in the underground shelter."

"Locke Belmont, what did you say?"

Earl Hagen thought Locke was joking. The Fallen Angels Party is a new cult that has emerged in the past two years. They believe in the evil world of Paradise of the Dead. They often cause some tragedies in the North or the West Coast, engage in human sacrifices and serial killings, and carry out high-profile Claiming responsibility, many criminals defected to them.

The gathering places of the Fallen Angel Party are usually at the border, and they have not been found in Kosolk.

Hearing Locke say this, everyone became nervous.

"I'm not kidding. The explosion just now was caused by them. The purple liquid is highly poisonous. Please don't touch it and hide quickly."

Locke said seriously and took out his investigator ID, "I am the investigator of the Sixth Sheriff Court, please believe me."

"I believe Mr. Locke, he has a noble character."

Lucy was the first to stand up. She looked at Earl Hagen, "Where is the passage to the shelter? Please take us there."

"well."

After reacting, Earl Hagen tremblingly, with the support of the housekeeper, led everyone to take refuge.

Every castle of dukes, counts and nobles has an underground shelter, and Count Hagen's Palace is no exception.

The entrance to the underground shelter passage of the Earl's Mansion is in Earl Hagen's bedroom.

Count Hagen led everyone into the shelter.

Before Mrs. Suman left, she took a deep look at Locke.

Locke squinted his eyes and saw that there was still a 40-year life bar above her head. He was sure that she would not hatch any terrible beings in the short term, so he did not stop her from leaving.

Chapter 109, an ordinary investigator

Locke watched the last person enter the underground shelter and closed the secret door of the shelter.

Lucy, who was leading everyone at the front, suddenly realized something. She turned around and walked against the current.

Judith grabbed her, "Lucy, what are you going to do?"

"I want to go back."

Lucy said.

"What are you doing back?"

Judith asked.

"If it is really the Fallen Angel Party, then Mr. Locke will also be in danger. I heard that they are very unfriendly to the kingdom's peace officers."

Lucy said seriously.

"Don't be stupid. Not only will you not be able to help him, you might even be captured as a hostage and cause trouble to him."

Judith persuaded, stopping Lucy from going back.

A group of people carried lanterns and walked in the dark underground passage for about a quarter of an hour before reaching the spacious hinterland.

This is the shelter that the Earl's Mansion built for itself. It is equivalent to a miniature underground villa. It is not only brightly lit, but also stores a lot of food and water.

"Don't be nervous, everyone. This is the Queen's District. Nothing will happen. The dance will continue. After the dance is over, the turmoil outside will be calmed down."

Earl Hagen stood up and said to everyone with a smile.

If it was caused by the Fallen Angel Party, such turmoil would indeed be quickly quelled by the kingdom's army and police officers. Earl Hagen's words were affirmed by the nobles.

So the band continued to play and the men and women in masks continued to dance.

Moreover, their enthusiasm was even higher than before, and it seemed that enjoying the dance in this tense atmosphere made them more happy.

"Lucy, let's go on dancing."

Judith took her friend's hand.

Lucy shook her head, "No, I don't want to attend such a dance at all. There are obviously people outside who are struggling to support themselves. Not only can we not be able to help, but we are still dancing here. This is too ironic."

"Locke Belmont is the Sheriff, he's not like us."

Judith comforted.

"Yes, although I admire Locke Belmont very much, and he did save my daughter Andy, his status is different from that of our nobles."

Count Hagen said.

"What's the difference?"

Lucy's eyes suddenly became sharp, and she looked at Earl Hagen seriously.

Judith pulled her friend's arm and said, "Lucy, don't speak to the Earl like this."

Earl Hagen coughed and his expression also became serious.

Although he usually seems to be very talkative, it does not mean that he does not have the temperament of a high-ranking person. He is an earl, and even in the kingdom, not many people dare to speak to him like this.

Lucy's tone offended him.

As Lucy's good friend, Andy Hagen appears to save her in time.

"Father, forgive Lucy. Like me, she is a person who was saved by Locke. We all hope that Locke can survive."

"Well, I have sent guards to help Locke Belmont. Don't worry too much. We have a total of 1,000 guards in the Earl's Palace, which is enough to resist those desperate fallen angels. Moreover, this is the Queen's District. What's going on? , the church and the Sheriff Court will also get the news as soon as possible. Well, my baby girl, please continue to enjoy your dance and don’t disturb my interest.”

"Okay, Father."

Andy Hagen patted Lucy on the shoulder gently, "Nothing will happen to Locke Belmont."

"I don't."

A blush appeared on Lucy's cheeks, feeling annoyed at what she had just done.

She doesn't want others to dance about her relationship with Locke, they are just pure partners.

She really didn't think that way.

At this time, Lock Shadow and Sigurd were dealing with the giant mud monster. Sigurd was forced to sacrifice himself again and carried out a second internal self-destruction against the mud monster.

Unfortunately, this can only delay time, but cannot completely eradicate the mud monster.

Locke's body on the other side also had a headache.

The captain of the personal guard sent by Earl Hagen was a proud native of Kosolk. He believed that he had the blood of a knight and was half a noble. He did not take Locke, a little investigator, seriously at all.

"Okay, your mission is completed. Now you will leave it to our Earl's Palace Guards. You can find a place to rest, or go back to the Security Court."

Captain of the Guards Reni Kulikov sat on a horse wearing gorgeous armor and looked down at Locke.

"Haha, if I could go back to the Security Court, what would I do here?"

Locke sneered.

"Oh? Can't go back? Do you have no legs? Or have you been pampered for too long and your legs have degenerated. Someone, give him a red date horse and take this young sheriff back with his degenerated legs."

Reni Kulikov said with a smile.

The soldiers of the guard let out a burst of jeers.

"I'm not in the mood to joke with you right now. If I were you, I would choose to hide like Count Hagen."

Locke reminded.

"Look at what this little sheriff is saying. Do you think we will be afraid of the Fallen Angel Party? Don't look at whose personal bodyguard we are."

Reni Kulikov scoffed again.

"Things are different from what you think. This is not an ordinary attack. They may have some kind of weird power. The mud will swallow living creatures, and the purple venom will corrode the body."

Locke had informed this group of people about the dangers they were about to face to the maximum extent allowed by the confidentiality agreement, but unfortunately they still received ridicule in return.

"Hahaha, what is he talking about? How can there be any mud that can swallow living creatures?"

"Is this young sheriff scared out of his wits? He must have been frightened by the thugs from the Fallen Angel Party. Take a quick sniff to see if he peed his pants."

"Hahaha, this is the funniest joke I've heard this year."

There is an unwritten chain of contempt in Kosolk. The noble knights despise the common knights, the common knights despise the guards, and the guards despise the constables.

As for such a high-level dance, no one, not even the noble knights, could attend, but Locke, a little constable, did.

This aroused Leni Kulikov's jealousy and dissatisfaction, so he kept making things difficult for Locke.

Of course, except for Reni Kulikov, the other guards also believed that they were superior. Compared with the sheriffs who lived at the bottom, their salary was three times that of ordinary sheriffs, and they had the capital to be proud of.

Locke's efforts to dissuade him failed, and Reni Kulikov rushed out with a large number of troops.

The mud monster that was stuck into pieces of mud by the body of the Sigurd Tree Man was slowly squirming on the ground. Every piece of mud that touched a living creature would actively devour it.

The 100 people charging ahead were the first living creatures the mud came into contact with.

At first, these soldiers just thought it was strange that there was a large amount of mud in such a clean place as the Earl's Mansion.

When the mud climbed up their bodies, could not be wiped off in any way, and began to swallow them, they recalled Locke's words.

"Help! Help! This mud, damn mud, it's going to eat me."

The calls for help from the guards in the front row were quickly drowned out. The guards in the back row no longer dared to move. Their horses were frightened and fled in all directions. The formation was instantly disrupted.

Leni Kulikov raised his sword and shouted loudly,

"No chaos! No chaos! Use your musket to fight these monsters!"

The guards drew their guns and fired at the mud monsters.

After the small piece of mud swallowed the person, it turned into a humanoid mud monster and continued to attack the people next to it.

Their attack method is very simple, which is to wrap other people in mud, swallow them up, and become part of their own bodies.

Encountered a musket attack, the first batch of mud men fell to the ground.

The corners of Reni Kulikov's mouth raised,

"It works, keep attacking!"

But the next second, the mud people who had fallen on the ground stood up again and attacked the people around them.

"Captain! What to do? Bullets are useless at all."

"It's useless. How is it possible? The firepower must not be strong enough. Keep going, don't stop!"

Reni Kulikov ordered.

The guards continued to fire, increasing their firepower.

The mud man's head was knocked out, and the mud splashed onto the face of the front row guard, and immediately began to eat the guard's face.

"ah--"

"Help, help me quickly."

For a while, screams came one after another.

Seeing that this group of people could do nothing but give their heads, Locke had to entangle them with his hair and drag them back.

Rennie Kulikov's left arm was also stained with mud. In order to avoid becoming the next mud man, he drew his sword and decisively cut off one arm, abandoned the horse engulfed by the mud, and ran back in embarrassment.

The crowd retreated to the Earl's Mansion and saw Locke with flying hair.

Their eyes were shocked and frightened.
