Kexi seemed to be frightened by Charles' words, and sat in the lounge chair and curled up slightly, with his sickly pale and delicate cheeks without any trace of blood.

This is very normal. Ordinary people who have not been exposed to the high demon world will inevitably be afraid of the incomprehensible power of "curses".

Moreover, the old woman standing beside her also looked at Charles with a shocked look.

"wrong!"

"The situation is wrong!"

Charles' eyebrows jumped. He thought he could see whether he was acting. But whether it was the noble lady or the old servant, after hearing his words, he made the most primitive reaction from the bottom of his heart.

What does this mean? It means that the two of them have no idea about the existence of the evil priest. Even this pair of masters and servants may have been involved in spells such as the deception and control system.

While Charles was thinking, a row of task words suddenly appeared in front of him:

【Susal-Carol's Only Daughter】

[Task Description: You met the only bloodline of the Carol family in the library. This was a once great family, but it has fallen. During the visit, you accidentally learned the information that your friends were plagued by evil. Whether it is out of friendship or as a priest of Ogma, you should stand up and find out the source of disaster.]

【Task Reward: 500 Experiences】

【Task time limit: 59 minutes and 59 seconds】

This is actually an automatically triggered blue task!

Shire did not hesitate and immediately took down the task. His current upgrade progress was stuck at 80%. If he completed this blue task, he could reach level 3 directly.

"One hour left..."

After glanced at the mission time, Charleton felt tricky. It can only be said that the ancestral home of the Carol family was too vast. The master and servant of Kaixi only occupied a small area, and other courtyards were blocked.

He had been walking around the manor half a month ago, and his memory was very blurred. Shire's thoughts changed and he had a certain plan in his mind. Let's temporarily calm the master and servant.

"I'm sorry, Kexi, it seems you don't know the situation either. Maybe I'm suspicious." Shir smiled to relieve the tense atmosphere in the hall.

"You may just be infected with the cold and you will be cured by rest and taking medicine."

Hearing the warm comfort from his friend, the noble lady in the seat sighed, put her palm on her chest, and her beautiful blue eyes said with a hint of anger: "Char, you scared me again."

"You go back to the bedroom to rest."

Charles smiled and said, then said with apologies: "You are not feeling well, I will say goodbye today."

"My body doesn't matter." Seeing Charles turn around and want to leave, Kexi bit the corner of his lip, and a hint of shame appeared on his cheek: "You talk with me."

"No." Charles shook his head, and when the noble lady looked disappointed, Yufeng turned around and said, "You go back to the bedroom first. I won't leave immediately. I'll take a walk in your manor. Is it OK?"

"I'm afraid you will get lost, so I'll ask Ya'er to take you."

The noble lady was really tired and stood up softly. The old woman next to her quickly supported her. Before leaving, she smiled at Charles and said, "Don't forget to come to the bedroom to find me later."

Charles nodded, stood quietly in the hall for a while, and another maid ran over in a slight stroll.

"Pastor Charles, I'll take you away."

The maid named Ya'er is a girl who is only thirteen or fourteen years old. Her long brown hair is tied into a pair of ponytails and she droops down. Her face looks slightly rough and her skin is distributed with fine freckles.

This little girl is not afraid of being alive. She only saw Charles twice, but she showed a refreshing smile and jumped in front to lead the way.

"Sir, look at that high shelf, it is said that there was a wizard living. And I heard from the lady that the ancestors of the Carol family once built a large-scale construction in the back mountain, but there was nothing there..."

After leaving the hall and walking in the manor, the little girl reached out and pointed to the silver-covered sinewood deep in the manor, with a sweet voice.

"Back Mountain?"

Shier's eyes moved, his eyes passed over the sineyard, and he turned around the snow-covered mountains, murmured in his heart: "Master Tower? Hidden in another world?"

The little maid was not very scheming. When Charles thought about it, he asked directly: "Yaer, is there any strange place in the manor recently... For example, there are strange sounds in the middle of the night, and there are gloomy black shadows and so on."

"How is that possible!"

The little maid's voice rose a lot and said proudly: "This is the ancestral home of the Carol family. It is hidden with magic circles and guardian barriers. Those ghosts cannot come in."

Judging from the maid's confident and confident appearance, it seems that the former glory of the Carol family was not bragging about. Charles nodded secretly.

"So, your lady, have there been anything unusual recently?" Charles changed his center of gravity.

"Abnormal, does it count as an illness?"

The little girl jumped on the snow, her brown ponytails swaying around. She fell a series of footprints in the courtyard, but suddenly remembered something, and suddenly paused, lowered her head and said in a muffled voice: "Also, yesterday I cleaned up the lady's room, but I accidentally moved an oil painting."

As he said that, a look of fear appeared on the maid's face with freckles: "Then, the lady not only scolded me, but also whipped her with a broom..."

"The first time I saw a lady like this, if it weren't for Grandma Mary, I would definitely be beaten to death."

Charles listened to the girl's recount, and his eyes were filled with thought.

In his impression, Kaixi has always been the image of a soft and weak literary girl. She even speaks softly, so she will not get angry or even be harsh because of the carelessness of the little maid.

The remaining explanation is that the noble lady has been affected by something and becomes irritable. This is related to her strange disease, which is intriguing.

"painting."

Shire continued to analyze the little maid's words and grasped the keywords keenly.

"Let's go, take me to your lady's bedroom." Charles faintly felt that the source was the oil painting. Although the priesthood does not have the magical ability of "detecting evil" like the paladin, it also has the magical art of finding designated camp items and creatures.

And he happened to master such a magic technique.

Kaixi bedroom.

This is a strangely quiet courtyard, with snow falling on the flowerbed, but more than a dozen red maple trees still stand in the snow, and clusters of bright red leaves are extremely dazzling.

"stop!"

As soon as Charles entered the courtyard, he called Yaer and shrewd her and told her not to speak out.

Through the small red maple forest, Charles could see a room with a window open. The noble lady was sitting upright by the window, using colored pens to outline the image of a beautiful woman in obsessively.

It was not a self-portrait of Kexi, but another beauty in a backless exposed dress and perfect appearance.

The beauty in the painting has more transparent and crystal clear skin than ice and snow. Her beautiful face is inlaid with charming blue eyes, and her silver-white hair is spread out as far as her neck.

What is strange is that the portrait has a unique cold feeling of death, and the beautiful people in the painting have a heart-shaped palm, as if they contain magical piercings.

Until this moment, Charles finally dared to be sure of something.

The reason why the noble lady was sick and her temperament changed was definitely related to this oil painting, not an evil priest.

He looked familiar with the portrait of the woman, but he couldn't remember it for a while. But Charles dared to say that this was a goddess who was either neutral or evil.

"Kaixi should be copying and finding the original painting, and the task should be completed."

When Charles thought of this, he broke into the noble lady's boudoir without hesitation.

The old woman Mary, who was standing at the door, showed surprise at his sudden arrival.

Charles ignored her, glanced in the bedroom, and immediately found the ancient original painting hanging in front of the bed. He walked over quickly and reached out to take off the frame.

But at this time, in the original painting, the goddess standing on the altar seemed to have come alive with her blue eyes, shooting a black flash.

"Influenced by the spell 'Blood Via Cluster'..."

"Physical condition check...Tough save failed..."

The retina showed green data. Charles was as if struck by lightning, his body shook, and then his blood vessels were rapidly highlighted in the skin.

In just one second, Charle's skin became bloody red, and the twisted blood vessels made his face look extremely ferocious.

“——【Sanctuary Technique】!"

Charle held back the pain. He was actually ready when he entered the room. The wooden holy emblem was held in the palm of his left hand. With the short spell, a protective film emitting golden light was wrapped in it like an eggshell.

The blood vessels that highlighted like small snakes retracted into the skin at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, the pain is pulling away from the whole body.

Cold sweat had wet Charles' white priest robe.

"ah……"

"You dare to blaspheme Ms. Ye Yao!"

The 25 points of health almost fell out in an instant, and the blood trough almost bottomed out. However, Charles had not had time to glad that he had picked up a life, and a soft body pounced behind him, losing his mind, and beating and scolding him.

Kexi, a literary girl, inspired a force that even Charles could not resist. He was pushed out of the bedroom and sat on the snow with a gloomy expression.

"Oh shit!"

Charles seemed to have seen the goddess in the portrait showing a sarcastic look at him.

The old servant Mari and the little maid Yaer were then bombarded out by the noble girl. The noble girl tightened the door, and the sharp shouts echoed in the courtyard:

"Get out of the way for those who blaspheme Ms. Ye Yao!"

"Ye Yao taught that desire is everything, and the desire for love must not end just because of the passage of time. No matter what means are used, eternal perfection should be maintained!"

This is like a fallen believer chanting a doctrine.

The little maid was frightened and after a while, she came back to her senses from the shock and sobbed quietly.

The old servant Marie also looked frightened, but the calmness and wise colors flashed in her eyes showed that this old woman dressed simply and white was not as simple as her appearance.

"I've made a mistake. Kaixi is already on the verge of falling. He shouldn't have taken action against the original painting so directly."
Chapter completed!
