Chapter 3 Do You Believe in Light?

Emily frowned slightly, “What are you babbling about?”

“The smell of death is so unique, it has a top note of fear, a middle note of pain, and a back note of resentment. Once a person smells it, they can never forget it.

No amount of strong and complex perfume can mask it.”

Wright took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, “Because it is the living individual, instinctively resisting and alerting to death.”

Emily glared angrily at Wright, “That’s enough! Don’t try to throw dirt on the teacher while he’s away!

Since I was eight years old, he has been working as a magical advisor in the Lawrence family, teaching me magical studies.

Ten years of dedicated service, and you’ve only been here for a few days, and you’re trying to sow discord in our relationship?”

Wright laughed out loud at this, “Indeed, your master and disciple have a deep love for each other.

In order to help you catch me, your teacher is even willing to take out and use the forbidden scrolls that are worth a lot of money.”

Looking at Emily with a bewildered look, Wright tilted his head, revealing the brand on his neck.

“What, your teacher didn’t teach you that?

Sacred Shackle, the full name is Sacred Shackle. It can block the connection between clergy and gods, and is the nemesis of all clergy.

This is a forbidden art that was researched by the Tower of Truth Archmages during the Holy War a hundred years ago in order to restrain the clerics.

After the Holy War, the Tower of Truth was destroyed, and this forbidden spell was lost, and all the finished magic scrolls were destroyed, with only a small portion spared.

How can I describe its preciousness to you?
Probably, like a family fiefdom like yours, Lawrence, can buy three and still be rich.

The money your teacher earned in ten years of working two jobs couldn’t even afford a single corner of the scroll.

Don’t talk about catching me and sending me to the Holy Capital, you’ll get your money back with the prize money or some such nonsense.

If the Church of the Holy Light sees the traces of the holy yoke seal on my body, it will issue a massacre order for your family’s territory in a minute, the kind of thing that shakes the yolks off your eggs.

Your teacher, you even have this in your hand.

Aren’t you curious where he got it? What is his true identity, and what is he preparing this thing for?”

Emily was a bit dazed by Wright’s barrage of questions, but soon she stabilized her mind and tried to squeeze out a slight sneer.

“Oh, making up all this nonsense, do you think I’ll fall for it? Escort him in and keep him under strict guard!”

“Ah yes, yes, yes, I’m babbling nonsense. But don’t forget, I’m freeloading at your house under the gimmick of plucking out demons.”

Leite didn’t intend to continue arguing with the other party, and after leaving behind an inexplicable sentence, he was escorted into the middle of the dungeon.

Only after watching his back disappear into the depths of the dungeon did Emily quietly let out a sigh of relief.

Although this person’s divine magic had been sealed, those words just now were still like the whispers of a demon. It felt like if one was not careful, one would be wound up by him.

“He’s using the gimmick of plucking out demons to mingle in my house ……”

After tossing and turning all night, the sky had already dawned. Emily couldn’t help but think back to this sentence as she walked towards the restaurant.

But until she sat down in the middle of the restaurant, she still couldn’t figure out what Wright was trying to say.

The diligent maids had already begun to put breakfast on the table, Emily woodenly picked up the cutlery, watched the maids set the nasty guy’s cutlery, and subconsciously opened her mouth.

“Oh, no need to set Wright’s share of the dishes today.”

“Huh? Miss, has Mr. Wright left already?”

One of the maids looked a bit forlorn, “What a pity, I haven’t thanked him in person yet.”

“Yes, I have prepared a gift as well ……”

Emily cried and laughed a little, not realizing that that liar had so many supporters, “You guys kinda like him?”

Several maids heard the pretty face blush, one of the more outgoing girls did not deny it.

“Although Mr. Wright is a bit unkempt, he’s actually quite handsome. Most importantly, he expelled the demons and helped my father get revenge.”

“Yeah …… my brother’s and my mom’s souls, they can also rest in peace.”

Emily was shaken when she heard these words.

With all her attention lately on how to expose Wright’s deception, she had forgotten the most important thing.

Before he appeared, there had been bizarre murders in the Lawrence family territory. There were rumors of demons haunting the fiefdom, causing people to be on edge. It was at such a moment that that man appeared in everyone’s view as a paladin and lived in the Lawrence Manor under the pretext of exorcism.

Since it was now confirmed that his exorcism was a self-induced hoax to make money, who committed those initial murders?

Emily’s eyes widened and she couldn’t help but start thinking wildly.

“After he came to the manor, although he has been fooling around, there were no more murders in the town.

So either that, or he’s a serial killer doing it all to scam money.

Either that, the real murderer is in the middle of the manor on weekdays ……”

Emily couldn’t help but ask despite her overwhelming inner resistance.

“Is there a change of clothes for Mr. Moselyan that hasn’t been washed? Or, bedsheets and bedding will do!”

“There should …… be, right?”

“Quickly! Hurry up and bring it to me!”

The maids looked at each other in dismay, not knowing how their own young lady could have such a strange request in the morning, but they still hurriedly headed towards the manor’s Raccoon Workshop.

Emily sat at the dining table, constantly muttering, “I’m doing this to prove, teacher’s innocence ……”

Meanwhile, Wright was lying in the middle of his cell in the dungeon, humming a home town ditty.

“Iron door ah~ iron window ah~ iron chain~ hand holding~ iron window~ looking out~”

“Aiya, stop singing, it’s hard to hear.”

Little Phantom Demon Lilith poked her head out from amongst the walls and looked at him with a smile, “Tsk, tsk, tsk, I didn’t expect you to have a day?
How about it, want me to save you out?
Beg me!
Let’s hear it by calling out to Lord Lilith first!”

Although there were other prisoners in the cell with the guards, they couldn’t see Lilith in her spirit state at all.

Wright rewarded the other party with a blank stare, “Why do you want to go out? Pure prison style luxury independent single room! Straw round bed, prison date not prison single. Crafted iron windows, can be jailed and imprisoned.”

Lilith came out from among the walls and sat on his shoulder.

“OK, OK, OK, you’re good …… So tell me, what the hell are you playing at when you choose to tie your hands?”

“I originally thought that this time was the same as last time, another crazy magician who abandoned humanity in order to seek wisdom. Now it seems that I’m afraid it’s not that simple.”

Lilith also had a puzzled look on her face, “Then what is he killing so many people for?”

Wright rolled over on the straw bunk and crossed his legs, “Why do you have to do it yourself when you encounter a difficult problem? Doesn’t it smell good to just lie equal to the questioner announcing the correct answer?”

“Ah~ That’s so boring.”

“It’s called waiting for your labor with ease! Boring? I’ll give you an exciting mission!
The remnants of the Tower of Truth have appeared, so go notify the nearest court of judgment and have them come over to arrest them.”

Lilith rolled her eyes, asking a demon to send a message to the Holy Light Church’s Judgment Court, such words could only be said by the man in front of her.

“If you can’t do it, let’s change it to an easy one. You go cat in Emily’s shadow now, and make sure she survives until, well, the truth comes out.”

Lilith’s face was full of displeasure, and her words were sour, “You’re so precious about people, do you have your eye on her?

Humph! I knew that you like this kind of busty one the most!”

Leite didn’t reply, just waved his hand impatiently. Lilith bristled and turned around to leave the cell.

Looking at the roof of the cell, Wright’s mind kept reviewing the details of these days.

“Hibernating for ten years and suddenly starting to kill …… Either, it’s time. Either that, or the time has come.”

“Hey, little brother, how did you get in here?”

At this time, it was already daybreak, and the prisoners in the surrounding cages woke up one after another. When they realized that there were new prisoners, they were as happy as if they had found a new toy, and even caused quite a commotion.

The guards of the dungeon rushed over, beating on the iron cage with their sticks while reprimanding the dishonest prisoners.

Seeing this, Wright rolled over and stood up, stretching his back and revealing a nuclear goodness smile.

“I didn’t expect this place to be quite lively, so I’ll just do some spiritual civilization by the way.

Friends, do you, uh, believe in light?”
