Chapter 279

The inhuman monster crashed down in the ruins, and a short but thrilling battle ended.

Only then can the logistics staff of the Secret Ritual Tower come in to treat the wounded. Although they cannot participate in the battle due to insufficient strength or different abilities, they are an indispensable part of every operation of the Secret Ritual Tower.

Compared with the Combat and Cultivation Sections, which are all composed of knights, and the Intelligence Section, which is mostly composed of knights, the personnel composition of the Logistics Section is more complicated, because it has to deal with more situations, so under normal circumstances it will be from other types of extraordinary Absorb talent among those who want to.

Treating the wounded, finishing follow-up, analyzing battlefield intelligence, and identifying ether traces are all the work of the logistics department.

Caroline walked into the ruins of the mansion.

Although it took only a few minutes from the outbreak to the end of this battle, the damage caused was already astonishing.

The entire Oswald mansion collapsed, and the surrounding buildings were affected. At least half of the surrounding area was flattened. None of the servants in the house survived, and the knights near the center of the battle were also not spared.

Because Oswald and Claude collided, a deep pit was left, and there were several ravines that seemed to have been plowed.

The ground was smeared with flesh and severed limbs. These ordinary people were like paper in front of the extraordinary power. Just a trace of power leaked out from the aftermath was enough to crush their bodies.

Destruction level, worthy of the name.

"Fortunately, the battle only lasted a few minutes. If it lasted longer, I'm afraid that tomorrow's news will be the terrorist attack in the Central District."

Even so, Caroline couldn't help but feel a little headache.

But this is the normal state of high-level transcendents, especially when the strength of the two sides is close.

If the opponent's flaws have not been found, a battle may last for several days and nights, just like the duel between Joseph and Wilde, which directly wiped out the entire hilly area.

But if one of the parties makes a mistake, the battle can be over quickly.

as now.

Caroline silently looked at Joseph who was carefully removing Claude from the claws of the monster that Oswald had turned into, and turned her gaze to the side.

There, there was a phantom of a white giant invisible to others.

"Virtual image of the mind world...is this ability's name?"

Caroline could see some information about the giant appearing in her field of vision, and she was thoughtful: "So I got it from the bookstore, and I only got it not long ago. No wonder I never saw it before. Oswald also suffered from the inequity of information." It’s a loss, and my sanity has been reduced, and I’m too arrogant, otherwise I won’t be killed in seconds.”

This is the ability bestowed upon her by the owner of the bookstore—the gaze eye.

She had been assigned by the elders to go to that mysterious bookstore to assess the danger and character of the bookstore owner.

And because the judgment at that time was correct, it made a huge contribution to the current decision-making of the Miyi Tower, and was directly promoted from the deputy chief of the logistics department to the chief.

In other words, she is equal to Joseph now...

"However, it shouldn't be the case soon—once this battle is over, the news of Joseph's recovery will definitely spread like wildfire. In addition, Oswald is dead, and there will be a vacancy in the position of the Great Knight of Glory, which is just right for Joseph to take the position. ..."

Caroline thought silently.

This is naturally a good thing for her. The result of her assessment at the beginning allowed Joseph's application for the transfer of the magic sword to be approved, and the relationship between the two is also good.

After all, both of them can be regarded as bookstore factions...

Joseph's return can also strengthen her position.

Caroline restrained her thoughts a little, and walked to Joseph's side.

The most urgent task now is to analyze what happened to this sudden battle, and what caused Oswald's mutation.

Joseph handed Claude to a medical staff, watched the other party give first aid, and then watched the logistics department rush him back to the Secret Ritual Tower for deeper treatment.

If this kind of injury is not treated carefully, the sequelae left will be very serious, and Joseph's hidden injuries for many years are also caused by this way.

"See what's coming?"

He suddenly turned his head to look at Caroline, and asked in a deep voice.

Other battle traces can be identified by ordinary members of the logistics department, but the existence of Oswald's level must be shot by a section chief.

If the degree of mystery is too high, those who attempt to investigate will be affected, and there must be enough strength to support it.

"Hold on."

Caroline stared at Oswald's body and activated her ability.

When she first acquired this ability, she was completely unable to control the large amount of information that constantly appeared in front of her eyes, so it was very painful and difficult to adapt to.

But with daily exercise, she is now able to master the power of the gaze eye, and it can be retracted freely.

A lot of information about Oswald's life first appeared on Oswald's body, and Caroline also knew that Todd was not his grandson, but his son...

No wonder Oswald doted on Todd so much and developed him into such an arrogant and unrestrained character.

too messy.

Caroline couldn't help shaking her head. Such a person is no longer worthy of the title of Great Knight of Glory in terms of personal morality, not to mention other things he did. The previous investigation by the intelligence department was not fake. The presbytery allowed such people to exist all the time...

She vaguely felt something was wrong in her heart, but when it came to the elders' seat, she hesitated for a while, but still did not choose to use the deeper ability of the gaze eye to investigate the cause and effect of this matter.

Instead, continue to investigate the source of Oswald's current state.

But the more she probed, the more Caroline frowned.

"Because... what I saw... the spirit couldn't bear it, it was screened, and then it affected the body, and because of the reflection of the soul, it became what it should be... What is it?"

This was the first time she encountered a situation where the staring eyes could not see the real situation.

She continued to investigate and found that the staring eyes still did not reveal any information, as if they were hiding something, but pointed to a part of Oswald's body.

Caroline knelt down and took out a blood-stained gargoyle from Oswald's clothes.

She showed a puzzled expression. She seems to have seen this gargoyle somewhere...and why is it split?

Caroline read the above message and read it out at the same time: "I have absorbed an extremely powerful sinful soul, and I am recovering and waking up..."

The gargoyle absorbed the blood, and the cracks gradually disappeared.

Joseph's pupils shrank, and he stretched out his hand and pulled Caroline back. At the same time, the white giant reached out and grabbed the gargoyle.

"Shua!"

The gargoyle's eyes were bloodshot, and it instantly spread its bat wings and turned into a huge shadow. It broke free from the white giant, and then fled towards the corner.

Joseph felt the familiar atmosphere from above, and in a flash, he understood who the mastermind behind this incident was.

He looked up and saw the old man standing in mid-air, reaching out to catch the shrunken gargoyle with satisfaction, and roared in a low voice: "Wilde!"
