Chapter 178: Alternative Uses of the Seventy-two Transformations
Mishas looked at Mo Cheng curiously. There were not many clergymen in Fairhaven. As a country of mages, the general atmosphere of Aundair was in fundamental conflict with the clergymen.
It is not to say that the people have no faith in God. There are also many nobles who believe in the gods of a certain church, but each church can only stop at private dealings with the nobles.
In countries where religious beliefs are prevalent, the king's coronation ceremony is even performed by the Pope. Without the Pope's coronation, the king's position himself may not be stable.
"Mo Cheng, did you see who emitted the holy light in the sinking area just now?"
The second inquiry was not because he did not believe Mo Cheng, but because the one who was leading the Griffin Legion to investigate the Holy Light incident was none other than Princess Mishas who was beside him.
Margaret believed that the previous Holy Light God Mo Cheng was fine, but the best way at this time was to conduct a second interrogation to let Mo Cheng clear his suspicion.
"No, I was being chased by the Berserkers first, and then I was hiding from other people, so I didn't know what happened after the holy light appeared."
Mo Cheng spoke very carefully, he knew that some abilities could detect lies, so every word he said was true.
It is true that he was being chased by the Berserkers, but it did not say that he deliberately led the Berserkers to where there were many people, causing huge chaos.
It was true that he hid from others, but what Mo Cheng meant was that he hid from everyone and left secretly after the burst of the Ultimate Holy Light. Without explaining the premise, others would think that Mo Cheng was worried that the trouble caused by the Berserker would involve him, so he hid.
As for what happened after the holy light, he had no idea. What that means is that after he released the extreme holy light, he didn't know where it was directed, who it killed, or what kind of trouble it caused.
Every word is true, but every word is only half-said, giving people a wrong judgment.
This ability is considered a common skill among some players in [Foreign Land]. This involves some tasks that require the use of [fraud] to obtain the maximum benefit. Speaking without saying anything is considered a basic skill.
Also necessary is the skill of [Riddler], which is to tamper with the internal meaning, destroy the shared internal logic of the language, and reconstruct its meaning in a confusing way.
To put it simply, the skill of [Bullshit] is an extremely useful skill whether you are communicating with people in a [foreign land] or chatting with your parents at home.
There was nothing wrong with the logic of Mo Cheng's words. In addition, Margaret had a preconceived notion that Mo Cheng was a priest who focused on close combat, not only did he have full-scale healing with Holy Light, but his own mental strength was also not high.
None of the opponent's characteristics were related to that terrifying holy light attack.
So after recording Mo Cheng's answer, Margaret asked Mo Cheng to go back first with an apologetic look on her face.
Since the task of thoroughly investigating the sinking area was given to Her Royal Highness Princess Mishas, the law enforcement team nominally responsible for order issues in the sinking area also needed assistance, so she, as the head of the law enforcement team, needed to follow Her Royal Highness the Princess throughout the investigation.
Investigate and protect.
…
When Mo Cheng returned to Albert's House and reunited with Loni, it didn't take long for the two of them to disguise themselves and sneak out of the city.
The current martial law only applies to the sinking area. After all, as the capital of a country, the closure of Fairhaven itself is a very dangerous signal, so the entry and exit of the city are still not blocked at this moment.
The two of them walked away from Fairhaven and came to an extremely hidden wooden house. Lonnie didn't know what mechanism she pressed, but the floor of the wooden house bounced open, and underneath was a huge basement.
"The wooden house above is just a disguise. Is this the real safe house?"
Mo Cheng was very curious about how many safe houses the Inquisition had. So far, the strength of the Inquisition had already been revealed in the safe houses .
"There are only three safe houses near Fairhaven. This is the result of years of hard work by all of us. The safe house in the sinking area was prepared by me, and this safe house should be prepared by David. Of course, we also prepared one for ourselves, and we won't tell anyone else except ourselves."
Perhaps she felt that they were already on the same page, or perhaps because Mo Cheng had handed the cage to her without saying anything, Loni showed great trust in Mo Cheng. "The safe house I prepared is a small house on the third house on the right at the end of Bolanbai Street in the magic district. Something happened there before, so generally no one would go near it ."
What she meant was that if Mo Cheng encountered any emergency and needed to hide, he could go to the safe house she had prepared to hide.
"It's the third small house on the right at the end of Borumby Street in the Magic District. I remember it."
After Mo Cheng entered the safe house, he turned into Hardy and was writing and drawing something on his notebook. After answering casually for a long time, he tore a piece of paper from the notebook and handed it to Loni, "See if there is any problem with this line?"
Loni took the paper and looked at it. Her face immediately turned red. Then a cold light shattered the paper and it was still across Mo Cheng's neck. "What the hell is this!!! What are you writing?!"
Ignoring the sickle flashing coldly on her neck, judging from Loni's reaction, she would most likely not cooperate with the above matters, but it didn't matter.
The result is the same anyway.
…
When David and Burton arrived at the agreed safe house as Hardy had instructed, they carefully pressed the mechanism and came to the huge basement. However, as soon as they arrived in the basement, they smelled a pungent odor.
In that room, Mo Cheng and his clone transformed into Hardy and Lonnie respectively, and told a not-so-civilized story to David and Burton outside in a voice that no one could tell whether it was real or fake.
After a series of crosstalks performed through seventy-two transformations, Mo Cheng retracted his clones and walked out of the room holding the chain on Loni.
The chain was naturally something Mo Cheng transformed into using his seventy-two transformations. In essence, it was just a thread on Sister Loni's uniform, but as long as it was not touched directly, no one would think it was fake.
"Shit, we encountered someone who looked like an Inquisition guy in the sinking area, and everyone else was dead."
Mo Cheng sat down angrily and gave an explanation for the death of everyone except him and Loni. "I branded her with the slave mark. If there is any dangerous place in the future, let her go first."
Given Hardy's hatred for Loni, or the hatred that continued from Wolfe, it was not surprising that he branded Loni with a slave mark.
The purpose of doing this is to convince David and Burton that Loni is no longer a threat.
