Listening to the sound of gnawing and chewing in her ears, Marissa slowly opened her eyes.
I saw the demon hound eating the snacks that fell on the ground with its huge mouth; Marissa stole them from the kitchen and fell out of her pocket.
It seems that its owner often feeds it this kind of snack. It may be because of the familiar taste that it does not regard this short intruder as a threat for the time being. Marissa quickly took out all the snacks and candies in her pocket and threw them to the demon hound, while saying, "Eat it, eat it, it's all for you."
Looking at the demon hound devouring the food, Marisa, who had wanted to take the opportunity to grease her soles and escape quietly, suddenly had an idea and took advantage of it.
If you just leave like this, all your previous efforts will be in vain. The dozen children who are still locked in the dungeon cannot be rescued. What awaits them will be an extremely miserable fate.
Although she was afraid of the demon hound in front of her that was several times larger than her, Marissa gritted her teeth and pulled out the necklace from her chest. It was a small red ball, carved from mind control crystal. But it was not a high-end product, and its effect was very weak. It basically only had an effect on animals. Before leaving, Skar asked her to take it with her just to be on the safe side.
With the idea of giving it a try and running away immediately if it doesn't work, Marissa activated the magic power in the orb and aimed it at the forehead of the demon hound. After a while, the demon hound raised its head, its eyes flashing with the same frequency as the orb.
Marissa tried to reach out her hand and gently touched the ear of the demon hound. The latter immediately sat down on its hind legs, stuck out its tongue, and looked at Marissa with a huff.
Marissa was overjoyed and touched the hound's nose again. This time the hound sprang up with a "ouch" and threw her to the ground. Marissa was very nervous, thinking she had screwed up, but then she realized that the hound was just licking her face;
"Hahaha, it's so itchy, stop licking it... Good dog, let me take you away from this bad owner. She feeds you sweets every day. Look, you have tooth decay."
Marissa planned to take the hound away first, and then hide in a nearby high place to observe. Wait until the demon nun leaves the church, then detonate the arranged runes, destroy the mechanisms on the road, and rescue the children.
She grabbed the demon hound and prepared to leave, but the latter suddenly ran to the side after sniffing the ground. With Marissa's strength, she simply couldn't hold it. The hound ran all the way to the detonation rune Marissa had just drawn and began pawing at the ground.
Seeing that the detonating talisman was turned out, Marissa hurriedly shouted to it, "What are you doing, dog? Don't destroy my talisman!"
She ran anxiously and saw that the hound dug out a flashing crystal from the ground under the rune; it was a magic alarm. Marissa was surprised. It turned out that there was a hidden mechanism that she had not discovered.
Afterwards, following the demon hound, Marissa checked another circle of detonation lines. With the help of the dog's magical vision and smell, he found a lot of original flaws in his route.
Looking at these exquisitely designed magic machines, Marissa reluctantly admitted that it was not just because she was too sloppy; although this witch was extremely bad, her skills and experience were more powerful than Marissa, who claimed to be a genius. More than one level.
Marissa hugged the demon hound and said, "Fortunately, the dog is here, thank you... Hey, where are you going?" The demon hound ran towards a lighted room near the church. Marissa hurriedly followed and saw the demon hound coming to a bedroom and sitting down;
Through the half-closed curtains, Marissa saw the viper nun on the bed, having ulterior motives with a fat, greasy middle-aged man;
However, Marissa soon discovered that there was another nun beside the dressing table on one side of the room. She didn't even take off her clothes. She sat in front of the mirror and touched up her make-up. From time to time she made "um um ah ah" sounds, or used cold and flirty words to interact with the greasy man on the bed.
She took a closer look and saw that what she was "fighting" with the greasy man on the bed was actually just an automatic dummy made of a metal skeleton with only certain parts made of soft simulated materials. The whole body of the dummy was decorated with illusion magic. From certain directions, it looked like a naked beauty who looked exactly like a nun.
And because Marissa stayed next to the demon hound, she was affected by the shielding stance and could see it clearly; the fat mayor was holding the mechanical dummy like a pig on the bed and groaning. She was so disgusted that she stuck out her tongue and almost spit it out.
When he saw the nun finishing her makeup, she said to the greasy man, "Your Excellency, you are so powerful. I will not be able to bear this anymore. I still have church to attend, so I will ask two maids to accompany you first~" The greasy man kept saying breathlessly. , "Okay, okay, the more beauties come, the better!..."
Seeing the nun stand up and leave the room, Marissa quickly grabbed the dog and hid behind a nearby pillar to observe.
The nun was seen leaving the room, striding to the statue next to the fountain, twisting Aman'Thul's head on his chest, the pool separated, and a secret room opened on the ground. She walked down and came out a moment later carrying two puppets.
Perhaps relying on the shielding emanating from the hounds, the other party obviously didn't notice them at all. Taking the nun into the room again, Marissa carefully came to the statue, her heart full of resistance. The mechanism was actually the rotating head of the god. What kind of evil nun was she?
Entering the secret room, you find that there is a puppet control room. There are also a large number of mechanical devices that forge imperial edicts, edicts, documents and seals. She was startled when she saw many motionless people. Then it was discovered that they were actually lifelike dummies, cast with illusion magic. From the outside they looked like real people, and they were all disguised as city hall officials and high-ranking military officers. After reading the letters on the table, she discovered surprising information;
It turned out that Lord Vishak conspired to seize power after bringing back the cursed code from the north. Together with a group of exiled mages and former Brotherhood traitors, he used Selina's magical weapon expert's ability to forge an imperial edict and ordered the Kingdom Corps and the Holy Knights to dispatch at the same time to suppress it. The Black Mesa Rebels, in order to seize the second fragment located in the secret armory of Defias.
This was the same person who had previously collaborated with the mayor and regiment leader in levying and extorting money. In order to raise military expenses for usurping the throne, he robbed the people and accumulated a large amount of arms. Blessed by artifacts, the sanctified pony is invulnerable and indestructible. He is the culprit responsible for the deterioration of the situation in Montenegro. Big figures in Stormwind City have made a special trip to Sentinel Hill for this matter, urging Strowman to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Marissa quickly took out her crystal ball for photography and took away some forged documents and other evidence.
A lazy black cat walked along the bookshelf and began to lick its paws and wash its face. Marissa saw how cute it was, said hello to it, and wanted to pet the cat’s head. As a result, before he could touch it, the black cat's head split open and turned into a four-petal mouth, revealing various sharp blades and hooks.
Marissa was so distraught that she threw herself aside to avoid the mechanical cat's attack. However, the necklace around her neck was cut off, and the soothing orb fell to the ground and was broken.
She desperately picked up items and threw them at the mechanical cat in exchange for time to escape. However, as soon as he escaped from the house, the furious demon hound blocked the door.
