Dark clouds rolled, thunder rumbled, and bean-sized raindrops poured down from the sky like a river hanging upside down, and the area around Beinz ushered in a torrential rain, and it was a torrential rain that had been brewing overnight.Perhaps because of the Dragon's Back Mountains, one of the "Ancient Relics", or perhaps the mysterious influence of Beinz Blood Lake, the area is often subject to similar extreme weather, sometimes torrential downpours, sometimes heavy summer snowfall, and even thunderstorms out of thin air – similar to the strange celestial phenomena of the savannah, so the townspeople are not surprised.The townspeople closed their doors to protect themselves from the wind and rain, and the magic towers around the town opened magic circles to attenuate the effects of thunderstorms to prevent lightning from striking the town's buildings.In the midst of this torrential rain, the leader of the Knights of the Kingdom, Field Marshal Oprah, came to visit."
I hope the hasty visit doesn't cause you any trouble," Ophra said, still dressed in a military uniform, as if she wouldn't change her armor wherever she went, "There's something I'd like to confirm with you about tomorrow's trip." ”A gust of cold wind blew into the living room from the open door of the annex, but there was not a single drop of rain drifting in, Ovra just stood at the door, the torrential rain seemed to bypass her, Hao Ren found that the radius of two meters around the other party had become a vacuum area of the rain curtain.Behind Ovra was an old man who looked ordinary, but his body seemed to be out of step with his age, and he seemed to be the female marshal's follower."
Oh, it's okay, it's okay, let's come in first."
Hao Ren hurriedly welcomed Ovra into the living room as he spoke, and said that he was about to go to her, and the people themselves came, is this a coincidence or what's going on?
Lily was dozing off on the couch next to the door, and at this time she had been woken up by the cold wind, and when she saw the guest enter the door, she jumped up and slammed the door with a flick of her tail: "Hiss-cold to death...... cold to death" Vivien squinted at the husky while knitting a scarf: "Are you worthy of your blood?"
What about the glorious achievements of our ancestors in dominating the Arctic Circle?
”The sturdy old man beside Ophra couldn't help but glance at Lily's ears and tail, but didn't say anything.Hao Ren welcomed Ovra to the sofa and sat down, and the old man who seemed to be his follower also sat down next to him, which made Hao Ren a little surprised, it seems that he had misjudged the identity of this old man just now, and he may also be an important figure in the Kingdom Knights, so he pretended to go out today.However, the identity of the other party didn't matter to him, he just poured hot tea for the two guests: "What are you doing here?"
”Aufra's hands couldn't help but tremble, she had been a marshal of the kingdom for hundreds of years, this was the first time someone had greeted her like this - she couldn't help but think of the last young man who spoke to her in a similar tone, there was also such a human young man with strong blood, dressed in upright aristocratic clothes, but squatted on the bench of the bar like a hooligan and accosted her: "Looking for something to do with you......"
Ofra shook her head and threw aside these inexplicable memories: "About tomorrow's trip, We are going to escort the four ascetics to the royal capital, considering the special nature of this trip, in order to prevent heresy from sabotaging, we need your cooperation......"
Hao Ren waved his hand: "Wait, it just so happens that we also have some information to tell you, it is estimated that after listening to it, you will have to change your plan - about the infidels." ”Ovrah's eyes suddenly became subtle, and the close-fitting light armor on her body made a metallic grinding sound, and the upper half of her body leaned forward slightly: "Heresy?
”"Heresy, and has infiltrated quite badly, they hold evil in the mountains.
Teach rituals, summon monsters from other worlds, sacrifice the living, and there are even Kingdom Knights and church members among the members," Hao Ren poured out this information without any psychological pressure, anyway, he didn't worry about any consequences, "In addition, ...... around the Blood Lake" Hao Ren spent more than ten minutes telling the story of last night, completely unconcealed, as if it was a matter of course to say these terrifying information, the more Obra listened, the more surprised he became, and the epic hero suddenly did not hold in front of this amount of information.In the end, she waited for Hao Ren to finish speaking, and couldn't help but press her hand on the low table, her eyes were extremely solemn: "You said those are true?"
Is there any evidence?
”Hao Ren took a cloth bag from the side and opened it in front of Ofrah: "In this bottle are the strange remains of those pagans after their deaths, this is the coat of arms of the Kingdom Knights, this is the clothing of the clergy of the church, the daggers used for ceremonies, their corporate culture brochures, the plasma samples in the altar, and this is a specimen collected from the tentacles underground, which has proven to be the same biological tissue as the bark of the twisted woodland."
This is Vivien's recipe - why is this in there?
”Vivien jumped over in three or two steps to collect the recipe: "I put it wrong when I was sorting things out last night, I said, why can't I find it." ”Ovra looked at these things dumbfounded: "It's really ......" and then she looked at Hao Ren with a strange expression: "So you went around yesterday to find out this information?"
This doesn't seem to be something that an ordinary mercenary group would take the initiative to do, and Kingdom Agents may not be able to do it to this extent. ”"Yes, we were here last night, and we've been interested in the things around the Beinz Blood Lake since the beginning.As for the reason......
I say it's the enthusiasm of scholars, do you believe it?
”"What if I don't believe me?""
Then I'll make up another one."
Ofrah: "......"
"No kidding," Hao Ren's face turned pale, "I can tell you for sure that we have no ill will towards the Kingdom of Halletta, we want to solve the troubles in this place from the bottom of our hearts, and this information is 100% true.It's hard to explain our motivation for doing this, but it can only be said that it was done with good intentions.Of course, it's normal if you're suspicious, as you're a Marshal of the Kingdom - so you're welcome to investigate this mercenary group. ”This is what Hao Ren decided to say after thinking about it for a long time last night, that is, there is no saying - the so-called bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes, and singles are not afraid of his wife, he can be regarded as thinking about it, he belongs to an invincible loach in this world, as an imperial commissioner who has come and gone without a trace, what kind of quagmire is terrible in the world.Anyway, I don't even have a fake account here......
It's just a little bit of a burden on Becky, thinking of this, Hao Ren looked at the mercenary girl who was dozing off with Lily by the window, this is a legal citizen with roots in the dream plane.However, considering that this girl will only be able to run blindly with herself in the future, and Betsy herself is also very open to this problem, so be it.Ovra now feels more and more unable to see through these mercenaries who suddenly appeared, she came here today to discuss tomorrow's itinerary is actually only one of the reasons, the other reason is that someone reported that this group of mercenaries suddenly disappeared from the town last night, so this time to come to see the situation, she firmly believes that her special skills can investigate the real movements of these people last night.But she didn't expect that she hadn't said anything, and the person in front of her shook everything out like a lack of heart.Wrong......
It's not that there is a lack of heart, it's that the person in front of him doesn't care about this trouble at all."
If this is true, then the orb should be sent to the royal capital as soon as possible," Ofra muttered, "The heretical sect has infiltrated to this extent, and it is not safe for the orb to stay here."
But I must be sure that your intelligence is indeed true. ”Hao Ren took out a piece of paper: "Of course there is no problem, the cave where the pagans held their rituals is still there, I have drawn a road map, you can send someone to investigate."
Of course, as soon as possible, there should be other infidels, who may destroy the scene. ”Ovra solemnly took the road map, looked at it carefully, and then looked at Hao Ren more solemnly: "Who went to that cave to investigate last night?"
I wish someone could lead the way. ”Hao Ren raised his eyebrows: "Don't you trust me?"
Suspicion is a trap?
”"No," Oprah held up the map, "you're too ugly." ”Hao Ren: "......"
"Okay, I'll take you there." ”Nangong May stood up at this time, "I still know the road." ”Ophra nodded, and was about to say something, when a thunderclap from outside interrupted her move.Immediately after, she looked up in a certain direction as if she had a feeling, and Hao Ren waited for a while, and then heard a low rumbling sound from far away.It sounded a bit like thunder, but the sound was deeper and continuous, clearly lasting longer than thunder.The hairs on Lily's tail exploded, and she suddenly leaned in front of the window to look outside, and she saw a white pillar of light suddenly rise from the direction of the Beinz Blood Lake, followed by a rush of bells from the direction of the clock tower in Leightontown!
