Chapter 584: Efficient way to find people

Santa Port, inside the city area.

"Loki" had already hidden in an apartment he had rented many days ago after changing his appearance, holding 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, mingled in different celebrations and crowds, waiting to be discovered by Lumian Lee's teammates and the clergy of the "Mother Goddess of Depravity" church.

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

Solo Hotel, in the suite that had been blown up by half, Yu Jianna and Anthony met the fighting nun Noelia and her team members who had rushed over.

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

She believed that the people of the Bounty 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 Eighth Bureau of the Intis Republic were of the "Seer" 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 Praying to the Sea ritual?"

"That is a traitor from the Eighth Bureau of Intis." Compared to Lumian, Yu Jianna had a significantly stronger sense of belonging to Intis and couldn't help but explain.

Noelia understood that time was pressing and couldn't exchange irrelevant matters, directly asking the most core question:

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

Yu Jianna thought for a moment and revealed the limited information she had just learned:

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

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

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

The godson of the Great Adventurer Louis Berry was actually a sealed demigod creature?

What was his background, and why was he wandering around with a sealed demigod creature?

Moreover, not long ago, a "Level 1" humanoid sealed artifact, which was equivalent to a sealed demigod creature, came to Santa Port, and everyone had been searching 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 artifact 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?

Steadying her mind, Noelia immediately said to her team members:

"Simili, you hurry back to the Bounty Society to notify the Dean, let him send all personnel who can be mobilized, spread out in 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 reinforcements."

Considering that the "Marionettist" might have 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, rushed out of the broken window to save time, relying on the protruding stone bricks and wood on the outer wall to jump 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 Bounty Society in Santa Port—the headquarters of the Bounty Society was in the capital of Gaya Province, Tolair.

Simili had just run a few steps when Yu 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 embedded directly.

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

Yu 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, whose every feather was lifelike, was a lady wearing a brown clergy robe. She wore a nun's hat with a wheat ear pattern and looked only in her thirties, but was full of maternal brilliance, seemingly having raised multiple 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 Yu Jianna had just said quickly, and finally spread her legs slightly and raised her two hands:

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

The clergy member who came was the Archbishop of the Gaya Diocese of the "Mother Goddess of Depravity" church, Agrippina.

Agrippina nodded slightly and said:

"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 flowers representing her bloom again in the next spring."

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

That giant stone bird full of vigorous vitality immediately flapped its wings and flew into 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 holding a seed in their mouths and flying in all directions.

They hovered within a circle with a radius of three hundred meters.

The citizens of Santa Port who were celebrating below saw this scene and thought the seabirds had also come to celebrate the success of the Praying to the Sea ritual, all making happy sounds.

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

Agrippina, who was informed, 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 holding in their mouths.

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

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

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

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

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

Crimson moonlight then covered this area surrounded by dark green vines, making all the citizens stand still like statues.

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

This "forest" bloomed with dark red flowers, dense and everywhere.

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

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

Damn! Yu Jianna knew this was Archbishop Agrippina of the "Mother Goddess of Depravity" church using indiscriminate attacks to make range influences to find and control "Loki," but she still couldn't help but curse in her heart.

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

Back then, she was almost raped by that pervert of the "Blessed Society" using similar gas.

And now, in this anesthetic 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 scales like a giant dragon protruding on the surface of his skin, and the other forcibly held his breath.

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

Noelia looked at Archbishop Agrippina in mid-air and received a nod in response. She didn't hesitate anymore, took a potion bottle from the claws of a white-headed seabird, and drank it.

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

Yu Jianna and Anthony saw this scene and also received the metal potion bottles, drinking the potion inside that had a bit of sour taste.

They also no longer felt dizzy or had their bodies feel soft.

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

At this time, in this area surrounded by the dark green vine "forest," only the marionettes who were not afraid of anesthetic gas could stand, immediately exposing their existence.

And inside the apartment rented in advance, "Loki" was quite stunned to find that manipulating the "Spirit Body Threads" of this 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 few streets upside down!

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

Perhaps 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 artifacts, rely on gifts, rely on methods like diverting attention to hide in the dark and circle around, seeing if he could hold on until the marionette was made. But now, at least two demigods were staring at him.

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

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

Anyway, as long as he controlled this sealed demigod, he could completely 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 Threads" of a demigod? "Loki" was puzzled and didn't intend to recover those two marionettes, preparing to use the magical artifact to "teleport" and escape directly.

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

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

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

This little boy was very sincere and said with a bit of pleading:

"I'm hungry..."
