Secret: The Witch's House Traitor

"It claims to be an innocent person who died due to the Blood Emperor's ambition. Because of the restraints of the corpse, it has been trapped in that underground ruins for nearly or more than two thousand years."

"It was keen to kill the descendants of our family to remove the seal, but after many attempts, it still could not escape the dilemma that lasted for a thousand years."

Raft shared the information he knew.

"You have the great blood of Tudor flowing in your veins, so I am only here to ask a few questions, not to kill you."

The man in the mirror didn't care whether Raft would remember these words after waking up from his dream.

It just set up a character, then ended the dream and returned directly to its original body.

In a high-end restaurant, Lin Nuo was stirring a cup of coffee on the table in a daze.

Although the information asked by the man in the mirror is not exhaustive, there are still many things worth exploring.

He needs to digest this.

"Is that evil spirit a high-level Beyonder who died at the hands of the Blood Emperor?"

"It has been lingering in the underground ruins for two thousand years without dissipating?"

Lin Nuo became even more curious about the identity of the evil spirit, but the current information was not enough to analyze a conclusion.

"Normally, evil spirits will gradually weaken over time until they completely disappear, unless they assimilate the area where they were born and draw strength from the spirit world and the underworld to maintain their existence."

"From Luft Tudor's description, the evil spirit was at least a demigod in its lifetime, and it still retains some of its wisdom."

"It must have lived in solitude for two thousand years. It is impossible that it has not thought about escaping. Its enthusiasm for killing Tudor's descendants is not only to vent its anger, but more likely for freedom."

"There are usually two ways for evil spirits to escape from the territory where they were born. The first is to seek extraordinary materials from their previous lives and use them as another cornerstone of their own existence. The second is to leave their own territory by possessing a person."

Lin Nuo analyzed the basic intelligence of the evil spirits through clues and details.

"Let's talk about the second path first. Most Beyonders simply cannot withstand the exploitation of evil spirits. They will quickly lose their spirituality and body temperature and cannot hold on for too long... At least Sequence 7 cannot meet its needs."

"As for the first point, the other party claimed that he died due to the Blood Emperor's ambition. So it is very likely that he was a Beyonder of the Hunter and Lawyer paths during his lifetime."

"Based on the law of aggregation of extraordinary characteristics, after two thousand years of long accumulation, the other party is estimated to have no shortage of low-sequence extraordinary characteristics."

"So the plan I had initially made was aborted before it was even implemented."

Lin Nuo took a sip of the cold coffee, and a bitter feeling spread from his mouth.

His original plan was to devour the evil spirits into the Black Knight's characteristics. If the opponent was weak, he would devour it by force. If the opponent was strong, he would use the soul of a Sequence 6 conspirator as bait to test the opponent.

Although this strategy is crude, it has a high chance of success when dealing with evil spirits that lack intelligence.

But if the other party was really a high-level extraordinary person of the "Hunter" or "Lawyer" path during his lifetime.

Then playing tricks in front of the other party is simply asking for humiliation.

"So we still have to play an open game, right?"

"First, seduce the other party to possess you, and then pray to the great being?"

"Haha, who would do such a loss-making business?"

After Lin Nuo finished the last sip of bitter coffee in the cup, he happily ordered a lemon cake.

He was now far less afraid of the evil spirit than he had been when he first spoke to Bernadette.

Fear comes from the unknown.

An evil spirit that cannot break free from the constraints of territory has not completed its qualitative transformation.

No matter what level it reached during its lifetime, without the help of extraordinary characteristics, its strength would never reach the level of an angel.

If the opponent had the level of Sequence 2, he would have escaped long ago. Why would he have been imprisoned alive in a broken place for a thousand years?

With Linnuo's current background, he is already capable of challenging a supreme saint-level evil spirit.

Living Beyonders have relatively few weaknesses, but the evil spirits that are transformed from the remnants of their dead spirits still have many ways to launch special attacks.

Lin Nuo tasted the lemon cake in a relaxed manner while constantly simulating in his mind how to take advantage of the other party's arrogance.

Chapter 179 Prince Edessak

Saturday morning.

Lin Nuo stood in front of the wash mirror, turned on the faucet, and simply washed his face.

Although he had two maids at home, his family was not so poor that he needed someone to help him wash his face.

At least not yet.

After doing all this, he became refreshed, hung up the towel, went to the first floor, and enjoyed today's breakfast with the three ladies.

Breakfast was prepared by Jumana who volunteered. It was a simple fried egg with ham slices and buttered toast, accompanied by a cup of black tea with a little lemon slice.

When Lin Nuo returned home last night, Anna and Megaos had already discussed with Jumana and asked Lin Nuo directly if they could let Jumana stay at home.

Lin Nuo naturally did not refuse. There were still many empty rooms in the house, and the two maids did not want Jumana, who was the same age as them, to continue living in the East District where a big bomb was buried.

She had finally managed to gain some fame in a bustling metropolis like Backlund. If she hadn't met Lin Nuo during this period, she would have almost become a street girl to make a living.

Anna has never forgotten the days when she barely made a living by making matchboxes in the lower town, so knowing part of the inside story, she wanted to help Jumana and invite her to live in her house, so that she could at least stay alive, right?

When Anna invited her to stay, Jumana was a little surprised, but she quickly agreed.

She knew very well that she had nothing worthy of others' covetousness.

Anna was willing to invite her to stay out of pity for her.

Why didn't she stay? Wasn't a maid more promising than a fake lover? The latter might be forgotten one day.

After breakfast, Lin Nuo leisurely read the newspaper while Jumana packed the jewelry designed yesterday and the expensive red wine bought outside in exquisite packaging.

The doorbell jingled.

Lin Nuo didn't get up. Jumana walked to the door, turned the handle, and saw the visitor outside.

He was a middle-aged gentleman who was meticulously dressed. His long tuxedo had clear lines and no flaws.

He was wearing a pair of white knitted gloves, with a few strands of silver hair on his temples, deep wrinkles on his face, and his light brown eyes were so serious that they did not contain a trace of smile.

"who are you looking for?"

Jumana asked politely.

"I am a butler, and I am here on behalf of my master to invite the owner here, Mr. Lino Nord."

The middle-aged and elderly gentlemen took off their hats and pressed them to their chests, performing a standard etiquette.

"Please come in, the master is resting in the living room."

Jumana felt a little uncomfortable looking at the old gentleman's elegant and standard demeanor.

She really wanted to ask Anna and Megose why they entrusted such an important matter to a newcomer like her?

I am the latecomer!!!

"No need, I'll just wait outside the door for a while."

The middle-aged and elderly gentleman seemed to notice Jumana's nervousness and very graciously gave them some time to prepare.

"Please wait a moment."

"Jumana, take the gifts and follow me."

Without waiting for Jumana to close the door, Lin Nuo handed her a bag containing a gift box and nodded slightly to the old gentleman.

"Mr. Lin Nuo, the carriage is this way, please."

The old butler bent down slightly, stretched out his white-gloved right palm, and pointed at the carriage across the cement road.

Jumana looked at a carriage parked across the cement road. The carriage had a thick, solid black exterior and curtains on the inside of the windows. It was obvious that it was not an ordinary item.

There is a coat of arms in a prominent position on the carriage.

The main body of the emblem is a sword pointing vertically downward, with a red crown on the hilt of the sword.

That is the "Sword of Judgment" representing the royal Augustus family!

Someone from the royal family?

Jumana followed behind Lin Nuo with tears in her eyes.

She now suddenly began to doubt Anna's motives for inviting her to stay.

You two experienced seniors ran away, leaving me, a newcomer, to suffer, right?

The servant brought by the old butler helped the two to open the car door.

Walking on the thick brown carpet, looking at the wooden cabinets and crystal-polished cups storing red wine, white wine, champagne, Lancia, and Blackland, Jumana felt a little restrained for a moment, and it was Lin Nuo who pulled her to sit down.

Lin Nuo didn't have any extra thoughts. Anyway, he was just carrying a bag, so of course he would look for Jumana who had not been promoted.

After Anna and Megose knew Lin Nuo's plan, they chuckled twice but did not remind Jumana anything, for fear that she would become weak if she knew in advance.

Watching the carriage slowly driving away from the streets of Bridgewood District, Lin Nuo asked casually:

"Prince Edessak and Talim are both at Red Rose Manor?"

"Yes, my master and Mr. Talim are waiting for you."

The old butler did not hide it.

Three kings?

Wait…who am I designing jewelry for?

Although Jumana knew that Lin Nuo's identity must be complicated, she never thought that he could be linked to His Royal Highness the Prince.

Is her work not going to be presented to the royal family? Can she take it back and revise it?

Jumana remained calm on the surface but was still very nervous inside.

The carriage quickly drove through the streets, detoured from the area with the artificial lake to the northwest, and after more than an hour, it finally arrived at a large manor.

At the gate of the manor, two soldiers in white trousers and red uniforms came forward to check whether Lin Nuo was carrying a firearm.

Lin Nuo didn't want to have any unnecessary physical contact, so he looked at the old butler beside him and asked:

"is this necessary?"

"You are a distinguished guest of the royal family. If you need, you can skip these."

The old butler waved to the two soldiers and led Lin Nuo and Jumana around the main house to a wide area with hills and streams.

"Ah."

Lin Nuo chuckled.

The royal guest was not referring to Lino Nord, but to the Witch Church behind him.

Anyway, he bears the mark of the Witch Church, so why should he subject himself to triple inspection?

Lin Nuo was even certain that if he didn't take the initiative to bring it up, this old guy would definitely go along with it and carry out all kinds of disgusting procedures.

Da, da, da, several horses came running from a distance and stopped in front.

A young man in white trousers, high black boots, a slim shirt and a dark riding suit dismounted swiftly and walked over, and the others followed closely behind him.

He took off the helmet-like hat that protected his head and said to Lin Nuo with a slightly scrutinizing look:

"Hello, Mr. Lino."

"Hello, Your Highness."

Lin Nuo bowed slightly and touched his chest in salute.

"I only brought a small gift with me at this time. I hope Your Highness will not be offended."

Lin Nuo said this and waved to Jumana, asking her to hand the gift box to the housekeeper next to her.

Jumana did as she was told, then stepped behind Lino and glanced at Edesak out of the corner of her eye.

He has a round face and a pair of narrow eyes, but he doesn't look serious at all. Instead, he looks young and energetic.

Sure enough, she is not as pretty as my master... The new maid made a silent comment.

"Your gift will come in handy soon."

Edsak opened the package and looked at the red wine in his own winery with a strange tone.

He didn't know whether to say that Lin Nuo cared about it or not, going to his property to buy wine for him?
