Chapter 584: Efficient way to find people

Sangtagang, inside the city area.

"Loki" had already hidden in an apartment he had rented many days in advance by changing his appearance, bringing the "asleep" Ludwig, and began to manipulate the "Spirit Body Threads" of this sealed demigod.

And his two marionettes, within a range of one or two hundred meters centered on him, mixed into different celebrations and coming and going crowds, waiting to be discovered by Lu Mian Li's teammates and the "Mother Goddess of Depravity" church's clergy.

This was unavoidable. After all, the "Marionettist" couldn't let the marionette use his own "Faceless" ability, and that magical artifact of the "Reader" pathway was on the "Bard" or "Mad Lady's" side.

Suolu Hotel, in the suite that had been blown down by a small half, Jianna and Anthony met the battle nun Noelia and her team members who had rushed over.

Before, Lu Mian had secretly taken Jianna and Anthony to meet Noelia with disguised appearances, so after they met, there was no excessive questioning or unnecessary arrest, just strictly confirming each other's identities.

"Rubio Paco is fake; it's a 'Marionettist' in disguise. He has now taken away Louis Berry's godson. He has two marionettes: one is the old grandmother of the Paco family, Lady Marta, and the other is unclear who it is or what abilities it has." Jianna picked the key points and told what had just happened.

She believed that the people of the Bountiful Society should know what a "Marionettist" meant and didn't need her to explain too much, because one of their main responsibilities was to guard against the Intis Republic in the north, and many of the official Beyonders of the Intis Republic's Eighth Bureau were of the "Reader" pathway, so the two sides must have fought many times.

"'Marionettist'..." Sure enough, upon hearing this sequence name, Noelia frowned slightly, "Is it a spy sent by Intis to destroy the Sea Prayer Ritual?"

"That's a traitor from Intis's Eighth Bureau." Compared to Lu Mian, Jianna's sense of belonging to Intis was obviously much stronger, and she couldn't help but explain.

Noelia knew that time was pressing and couldn't communicate irrelevant matters, so she asked the most core question directly:

"Why take away Louis Berry's godson? As a hostage? Or does he himself have special characteristics?"

Jianna thought for a moment and revealed the limited information she had just learned not long ago:

"That is a demigod-level, um, creature that has been sealed.

"'Loki's' time to turn him into a marionette will be very long, not just a few minutes."

A demigod? A sealed demigod? That child with a big appetite is a sealed demigod? Noelia's mouth was half-open, both surprised and stunned. She almost doubted if her ears had heard wrong.

The Great Adventurer Louis Berry's godson is actually a sealed demigod creature?

What is his background, and why would he wander around with a sealed demigod creature?

Moreover, not long ago, a humanoid sealed object that was said to be "Level 1," which is equivalent to a sealed demigod creature, came to Sangtagang, and everyone searched for a long time without any harvest.

If it weren't for the fact that the appearance characteristics, gender, and age didn't match, Noelia would even suspect that Ludwig was the humanoid sealed object that the "Eternal Blazing Sun" church had "lost."

Now, she only had one absurd thought echoing in her mind:

Is the trend this year to take sealed demigod creatures out?

Calming down, Noelia immediately said to her team members:

"Simili, you hurry back to the monastery to notify the dean, let him send all the personnel that can be drawn, scatter them into the city, and strive to find, um, Lady Marta or Louis Berry's godson Ludwig as soon as possible.

"After finding them, unless the situation is particularly urgent, don't act blindly, report first, and wait for assistance."

Considering that the "Marionettist" might have already changed his appearance and height, and the identity and appearance of his other marionette were unknown, Noelia focused the search on Lady Marta, who had become a puppet, and Ludwig, who had been abducted.

"Yes, Captain!" Simili, who had brown hair, jumped from the broken glass window directly to the street, relying on the protruding stones and wood on the outer wall to save time, jumping from the fifth floor to the street.

The dean in Noelia's mouth was the dean of the local monastery, responsible for the clergy of the Bountiful Society in Sangtagang — the headquarters of the Bountiful Society was in the capital of Gaya Province, Tolair.

Simili had just run a few steps, and Jianna, Anthony, Noelia, and others who were planning to search the nearby streets saw a giant bird flying from mid-air.

That giant bird was gray-black, with hard feathers and a lack of sufficient softness, while its eyes were like two rubies directly inlaid on it.

The gray-black giant bird just flapped its wings and flew to the outer wall of the fifth floor of the Suolu Hotel, which had collapsed by a small half.

Jianna and Anthony then discovered that the gray-black giant bird was carved from stone, heavy, massive, hard, but also full of vigorous vitality.

Standing on the back of the gray-black giant bird, where every feather was lifelike, was a lady wearing a brown clergy robe. She wore a nun's hat with wheat ear patterns and looked only thirty-something, but was full of maternal brilliance, as if she had raised many children.

This brown-haired, brown-eyed, mature-tempered, and beautiful clergy member cast her gaze toward Noelia and said concisely:

"Specific situation."

Noelia hurriedly repeated the words Jianna had just said quickly, and finally opened her legs slightly and raised her two hands high:

"Praise the Earth, praise the mother of all things!"

The clergy member who came was precisely the archbishop of the Gaya diocese of the "Mother Goddess of Depravity" church, Agrippina.

Agrippina nodded gently:

"I know Marta of the Paco family. I didn't expect her to die in this way. Alas, may the Earth Mother accommodate her soul, and may the flower representing her bloom again in the next spring."

This archbishop moved her right foot gently, giving a signal to the giant bird carved from gray-black stone.

That giant bird full of vigorous vitality immediately flapped its wings and flew to the sky dozens of meters high.

Agrippina then extended her right hand and scattered a handful of deep black seeds the size of rice grains downward.

With a flutter, the white-headed seabirds of the port flew over in a posture that covered the sky, each biting a seed and flying in all directions.

They circled in a circle with a radius of three hundred meters.

The citizens of Sangtagang who were celebrating below saw this scene and thought the seabirds had also come to celebrate the success of the Sea Prayer Ritual, all making happy sounds.

After two or three minutes, the battle nuns who had scattered saw Lady Marta; that marionette was hiding at the other end of Aquina Street.

Agrippina, who was notified, turned her head and looked at a certain place in mid-air.

Soon, those white-headed seabirds dropped the seeds the size of rice grains they were biting in their mouths.

Agrippina, who withdrew her gaze, crossed her hands and placed them on her chest.

Every seed that landed on the ground sprouted instantly, growing rapidly and turning into thick, dark green vines.

At the same time, Jianna, Anthony, Noelia, and others who were looking for Ludwig and "Loki's" whereabouts on the street saw the high sky become dark, as if night had arrived much earlier, or some massive object was blocking the sunlight here.

Vaguely, they felt it was deep black, covered with membranes, and had a giant wing with a sense of illusion.

The next second, in the "Night," a crimson full moon rose slowly, hanging in the high sky, and inside it, a tall and thin figure seemed to be walking slowly.

The crimson moonlight then covered this area surrounded by dark green vines, making all the citizens stunned like statues.

The dark green vines were nourished by the moonlight and grew crazily, soon letting multiple streets centered on Aquina Street be covered by the "forest."

This "forest" bloomed with dark red flowers, densely packed, everywhere.

The flowers each emitted a faint sweet fragrance, intertwining together, making the smell gradually become rich.

The citizens of Sangtagang and the rats and bugs in the corresponding area who smelled this fragrance all became dazed, swaying, and fell softly to the ground.

Damn! Jianna knew this was Archbishop Agrippina of the "Mother Goddess of Depravity" church using an indiscriminate attack method to make a range of influence to find and control "Loki," but she still couldn't help but curse inwardly.

This kind of gas that could anesthetize people evoked her bad memories:

At that time, she was almost raped by that pervert from the "Blessed Society" using similar gas.

And now, in this gas that had a significant difference in taste but similar effect, her head began to feel dizzy, and her body felt uncomfortable.

She was like this, and so were Anthony and Noelia. One had already let scales like a giant dragon protrude from the surface of his skin, and one had forcibly held his breath.

Just at this moment, three white-headed seabirds flew down from mid-air, each grabbing a metal medicine bottle, and circled in front of Jianna and the others.

Noelia looked at Archbishop Agrippina in mid-air and received a nod in reply. She didn't hesitate anymore, took the medicine bottle from the claw of a white-headed seabird, and gulped it down.

She quickly regained sobriety and was no longer affected by the permeating anesthetic gas.

Jianna and Anthony saw this scene, also received the metal medicine bottles, and drank the medicine with a bit of sour taste inside.

They no longer felt dizzy or had their bodies go soft.

Those three white-headed seabirds were unable to fly up again and fell to the roadside one after another, falling asleep.

At this time, in this area surrounded by the dark green vine "forest," only the marionettes who weren't afraid of anesthetic gas could stand, instantly exposing their existence.

And in the apartment rented in advance, "Loki" discovered quite surprisingly that manipulating the "Spirit Body Threads" of that sealed demigod was much more difficult than he had expected.

This wasn't a problem that could be solved in ten or a dozen minutes. According to his preliminary estimation, it would take at least an hour!

With this time, the "Mother Goddess of Depravity" church could turn these streets upside down!

After the anesthetic gas made of dark green vines and dark red flowers permeated this room, "Loki's" first reaction was to create an "air straw" nearly thirty meters long and extend it to mid-air to breathe fresh air, but he quickly dismissed this idea.

Maybe the demigod of the "Mother Goddess of Depravity" church was just waiting to find similar traces to lock onto his location!

Moreover, "Loki" also discovered that there was more than one demigod in the high sky!

If there were only one, he could still rely on sealed objects, gifts, and methods like diverting attention to hide in the dark and circle around to see if he could hold on until the marionette was made. But now, at least two demigods were staring at him.

More importantly, he could still hold on for about ten minutes, but an hour was absolutely impossible!

After weighing, "Loki" abandoned the original plan of holding the ritual today and advancing to Sequence 4 "Bizarro Sorcerer."

Anyway, as long as he controlled this sealed demigod, he could find another opportunity later. There was no need to perform today!

How could it take an hour, or even more? Is this the "Spirit Body Thread" of a demigod? "Loki" was puzzled and didn't intend to recover those two marionettes, preparing to use the magical artifact "teleportation" to escape directly.

He took out a bracelet from his pocket, which was connected by gemstones of different colors.

Just as "Loki" was about to stimulate one of the diamonds, he heard the sound of swallowing saliva.

"Loki" lowered his head instinctively and looked into his arms, discovering that Ludwig had woken up at some point.

This little boy said very sincerely, with a bit of pleading:

"I'm hungry..."
