Chapter 277

In the study on the second floor.

Oswald struggled, his expression unpredictable.

He was sitting in front of the desk, in front of him was a gargoyle that seemed to have been broken and put together again, and a dagger.

The gargoyle's whole body was dark and full of cracks, only the two blood-red eyes exuded a strange light, which symbolized the extraordinaryness of this statue.

It is certainly not ordinary.

This is an evil creation that can hold a thousand souls. When it comes to life, it will be comparable to a superhuman at the peak of panic level. This is already a very powerful combat power.

And the maker of this gargoyle, the black wizard, was only capable of panic-level middle-level at that time, which shows his talent in creation spells.

Yes, it is the author of this statue who is truly extraordinary.

——"The Faceless Man with Black Scales" Oscar Wilde.

Oswald couldn't help but think of that time, when he learned of the stupid things his grandson had done, and thought of the importance attached to the bookstore in the meeting just held in the Tower of Secret Rites, he was almost ashamed, hesitating between accepting his fate and resisting the frame.

At that time, Joseph hadn't started the investigation. In other words, with the energy Oswald had accumulated over the years, he was capable of destroying the evidence, delaying for a while, and then wrestling with Joseph.

At least it won't be like now, without even a sign of resistance, just a few days, and he was taken directly to his hometown.

The reason for the current one-sided situation is simple.

Not because Oswald chose to accept his fate.

Instead, the masked Wilde suddenly appeared and brought him a third way.

"Whether you believe it or not, I'm not interested in talking nonsense with you, I'm just here to tell you a very unfortunate fact - the Secret Ritual Tower has already made a choice, and will let Joseph return to the position of the great knight of glory. "

"However, after so many years, the vacant position of the Great Knight of Glory has long been filled by excellent newcomers with potential. If Joseph wants to come back, one out of ten people will inevitably be replaced."

"This person must be guilty in order to justifiably deprive him of his name. At the same time, he may still be able to play a bit of residual value and serve as a stepping stone for Joseph's return. Let our dear Invincible Shengyan, add another A record of punishing evil and promoting good."

"Guess, who is this person?"

The gloomy vertical pupils of the half-snake man shone with a seductive evil light, and the deep voice seemed to be able to influence people's will.

Oswald clenched his fist tightly, his whole face was distorted, he roared angrily and unwillingly, drew his sword and slashed over: "No! It shouldn't be me! The elders will not give up on me, I It’s also at the destruction level! What Joseph can do, I can do too!”

Wilde sneered and said: "Destroyer? Do you really think so? With your old body, hollowed out by wine and sex, I am afraid that even the panic-level can no longer defeat you? They have long wanted to kill you ! You trash!"

"All your resistance is in vain, because the Secret Ritual Tower will always be on Joseph's side."

He easily caught Oswald's sword, took out the shattered gargoyle, and said in a low voice: "Now, fate has asked me to give you a chance."

"You can awaken it with your own blood, it will allow you to have unprecedented strength, enough to fight against Joseph, and then it will make you our companion..."

"companion?"

"Yes, aren't we companions? Joseph is our common enemy... If you want to ask why you want to be our companions, you can see that I am stronger now than I was two years ago."

"You mean... me too?"

"hehe……"

When Oswald came back to his senses, he had already reached out and took the statue of the gargoyle.

But in front of him, there was no sign of Wilde.

Indeed, he is far stronger than ever! It's like a powerful devil that comes and goes without a trace!

Even Oswald couldn't detect what state he was in.

"boom!!!"

Suddenly, there was a broken door downstairs, which woke up Oswald, who was immersed in memories.

This shows that the people sent by Joseph have already entered the mansion, and they will come upstairs soon.

The gargoyle's eyes still shone with a strange light.

And Oswald finally gritted his teeth, made up his mind, took the dagger and cut his arm, letting the blood flow on the gargoyle.

The gargoyle opened its mouth wide, and spat out a book from the dark cavity, with the words "Corpse Eating Canon" written on it.

"This is the way to gain great power?"

Oswald frowned and muttered to himself, picked up the book with some doubts, and opened it.

...

In the lobby on the first floor.

Monica froze in place, her struggling movement stopped.

She looked up at the document displayed in Claude's hand. She couldn't understand the investigation report written on the paper, but the meaning of the seal in the lower right corner and the golden tower logo could not be clearer. .

Generally, the seals of each section of the Mystery Tower are red, and only another independent organization can use the golden color that represents detachment——

Secret Ritual Tower, Elder's Seat!

The presbytery agreed... which means that Claude led these people to break into Oswald's mansion was the presbytery's intention.

They accepted the report of the intelligence department and believed that it was the truth.

"Oswald is over..."

Such a clear and terrifying thought could not be restrained in Monica's mind.

Her face turned pale in an instant, and she slumped on the ground, losing any thought of resistance.

Forming a party for personal gain, collaborating with the enemy and accepting bribes... Once such a serious crime is convicted, even the great knight of glory will have no room for defense.

No, it would be better to say that because he is a great knight of brilliance, there is absolutely no possibility of appeasement, otherwise the purity and authority of the title of great knight of brilliance will not be guaranteed.

Therefore, once a decision is made to make a move, it will be thunderous!

The elders were not ignorant of the behavior of Oswald and his grandson Todd in the past, but they turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye. If it was not too much, at most they would warn them.

After all, Oswald is now a veteran-level knight in the Secret Ritual Tower, and he also has a destructive level of strength. No one wants to lose such a powerful combat power.

But now he directly uncovered the cover, and stood for the former in the conflict between Joseph and Oswald.

The deeper meaning behind it is self-evident.

The undefeated Shengyan...maybe will truly return!

"Not only Oswald himself, but the entire Eliot family may be implicated!"

Monica knew in her heart what the Elliott family had done these years, and she trembled in her heart, showing a look of fear. She didn't know where the arrogance and arrogance just now had gone, and she begged quickly: "Master Claude! I Tell you everything I know, I have a lot of evidence in my hand, I beg you, let me go... I am willing to do anything!"

She made a flattering expression.

"boom!!!"

Suddenly there was a loud noise on the second floor, and then the ceiling, walls, and load-bearing columns collapsed one after another. Amidst the scattered smoke and dust, a figure could be seen rushing out.

The knights who just went up have turned into fragments and blood mist, everywhere on the ground and walls.
