Chapter 27 We Are All Heretics Adele Norton is eighteen years old. She was born in the Duke's House and is the younger sister of Eric Norton. Her mother was a maid in Norton House. She was favored by the Duke of Norton in her early years and gave birth to her, but she died during childbirth. She was beautiful, having inherited her mother's genes, and had long, slightly curly brown hair, completely different from Eric. Adele's childhood was not a happy one. She had a fat brother who always bullied her and a fat mistress who was very mean to her. Because her affinity with the arcane law was very low, it was difficult for her to achieve success as a mage, and her father, Duke Norton, did not treat her very well. He planned to send her away as a tool for marriage after she came of age. Last night, the Duke of Norton found Adele and asked her to attend a banquet. She couldn't refuse, and the Duke of Norton would always take her to banquets among the nobles, but this was not a father's love for his daughter, but just to find her a "good" husband, a husband who could bring her enough benefits. At this moment, Adele looked at Lear standing on the other side. There was no change on the surface, but she was a little excited in her heart. This was not the first time she had seen Lear. She had seen Lear at many previous banquets.
He is still as handsome as before, but his previous cold temperament seems to have changed a little, becoming more elegant. This attracted her, and she was attracted to it from the first time she saw Lear. But Lear is the heir of the Stuart family, and his relationship with the Norton family is not good, and it can even be said that they are hostile to each other. She once fantasized about whether her father would reconcile with the Stuart family, and it would not be unacceptable for her to be given as a gift to Lear as his lover. Adele's cheeks flushed slightly at the thought, but soon calmed down. She shook her head in self-mockery. How could that be? In the duel at the Kingdom Arena, Lear brought disgrace to the Norton family. How could his father be willing to reconcile with Stuart? And Lear has the princess... Although Adele didn't know the princess very well, no girl would want to share her husband with others, even with her lover. "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and leave?" Eric urged again angrily. Adele woke up from her fantasy, became expressionless again, pushed Eric's wheelchair and turned away. Looking at Adele's departing back, Lear's eyes became deep. He didn't expect to meet a believer of blood here, and she was Eric's sister. It was a little unbelievable. No wonder he searched for so long in the urban area and the slums and found nothing. It turned out that it was really the Outer Gods that the nobles communicated with themselves. However, there was one thing that seemed strange to Lear. He only saw one blood believer, but the mission was completed. Could it be that Adele was the only blood believer in the royal city? "How long do you want to see?" Avian stepped forward and patted Li Er on the shoulder. "You are not interested in the daughter of the Duke of Norton, are you?" "How could that be? I just feel a little sorry for her." Lear shrugged. "She is indeed pitiful. I heard that she is not well received in the Duke of Norton's Mansion." Avian looked at Adele's back with a hint of sympathy in her eyes. As women, even if we are on opposite sides, we still have a feeling of mutual understanding. The two of them didn't say anything more about Adele and walked deeper into the banquet hall.
Holding Avian's arm, Li Er took the time to check the previous mission reward in the storage ring. Name: Blood Prisoner Category: Legal Relics Introduction: The Blood Prisoner Mask contains the original power of the Blood Law. Wearing it on your body can block all external perceptions. It can be transformed into any accessory. You can create a new identity composed of the Blood Law. This is limited to the Blood Law profession. This is a mask, or it would be more accurate to say a helmet, like the horned demon head in the legend. Lear controlled it in his mind, and the original prisoner mask turned into a ring. He does have the ability to transform himself, and as for blocking the outside world's perception, Lear thinks it probably means that no one can detect his own information. And the ability to create a whole new identity… Like creating a new character in a game? Lear thought to himself. He followed Avian calmly, took out the Blood Prisoner Mask that had transformed into a ring from the storage ring, and put it on another finger. The two had already arrived at the center of the hall. The banquet had not yet begun. Just as Lear was about to sit down and study the new equipment, a waiter came up to Lear. "Excuse me, is this Mr. Lear Stuart?" Li Er raised his head and looked at the waiter with some confusion, "What can I do for you?" "Her Majesty the Queen wishes to see you," the waiter replied. "Queen?" Lear was stunned. On the side, Avian turned her head and looked at Li Er after hearing the waiter's words, as if she wanted to ask if he had gotten into trouble again? Lear reacted and guessed that it might be the secret message in the letter. He stood up and said to the waiter, "Take me there." …… Following the waiter, they soon arrived at a compartment. He went into the room and the waiter stayed outside, closing the door. In the room, Queen Philea was sitting on a chair. Seeing Lear, she sighed. "You shouldn't be here." Confused by the queen's words, Lear asked in confusion, "Why?" "Do you know who today's party is for?" "The Golden Church?" "It's the Golden Saint." The queen corrected Lear. "What's the difference?" "The Golden Saint has the ability to detect heresy." Lear was stunned.
The Saint had the ability to detect heresy? He really didn't know that. "The Golden Saint possesses the power to detect the heretical laws of the Outer Gods." The queen shook her head and continued, "When I wrote the invitation letter to you, I didn't know it was the Golden Saint who was coming. I thought it was just an ordinary Golden Church Bishop, so I only asked you to hide Milia and didn't tell you anything." "..." Li Er fell silent. If the Golden Saint could really detect the heretical laws, then he would be in danger now. After all, he had many kinds of heretical laws on his body, not only blood but also Morning Star. Moreover, the fact that the queen could say such words also showed that the other party really knew that he had communicated with the outer gods. It was just speculation before, but now it can be confirmed. "Do you know that I have communicated with the outer gods?" Li Er asked directly. "Of course, I knew it when you duelled with Eric." The queen smiled, "The aura of heresy law in you is so strong that it seems to be overflowing." Lear's expression looked a little ugly, but then he thought of another question. He suddenly said, "Queen, you and Milia should also be believers of the heretical law, right?" Hearing this, the queen was a little surprised, "Milia told you what I said to her?" "No, I guessed." Li Er laughed, "Your Majesty, since we are all heretics, aren't you afraid of being discovered by the Saint?" As if she understood Lear's thoughts, the queen shook her head and said, "We are different." "I only have the affinity of the law, but you and Miria both have the essence of the law. For me, as long as the Golden Saint does not actively investigate me, she will not find out..." The queen said, and suddenly her tone slowed down. She frowned, "Wait, why did the aura of heresy law disappear from you?" "What do you mean?" Lear asked in confusion. "I can no longer sense the aura of heresy and law that originally emanated from you. What did you do?" The queen stared at Lear closely, as if she had discovered something incredible. Li Er was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of the blood on his hands! (End of this chapter)
