Chapter 687 Under the Ice 3
I didn't know what they were arguing about, but my gut instinct was that their quarrel had something to do with me.
Sure enough, Bishop Heda's face turned red and white, and he shouted, "Why can't I say it?"
Bishop Hedda exclaimed, "We found a boat in a corner of the town, a working boat. The sailors agreed to carry us out in this boat, but only if they punished the devil's apostles severely. As long as we leave those devil apostles at the disposal of the sailors, they agree to take us out. ”
Heda's voice paused: "Those devil's apostles should have been the targets of our extermination, does it make any difference who will destroy them?"
Betty said coldly: "Wang Huan, they are prisoners of the Knights, as a knight, I can't attack people who don't have the strength to fight back, besides, whether Wang Huan is a demon apostle or not is still inconclusive, we should take him back to the inquisition." ”
Hedda said in a cold voice, "Betty, your ideas are very dangerous. I seriously doubt your loyalty to the Holy See, your faith in God. ”
Betty's face turned pale suddenly, and Hedda pressed step by step: "I'll ask you again now, are you trying to shield the demon apostle?"
Betty said in a deep voice: "Then I will tell you one last time, before Wang Huan is tried, no one can execute him without authorization." ”
Hedda was about to speak, but I preemptively said, "Betty, if I were you, I would first ask if the person in front of you was Heda!"
Betty was slightly stunned, and Hedda seemed to grab my handle: "Did you hear that? He is clearly leading you to depravity, this is a common trick of the devil, you still don't want to kill him!"
As several Knights of the Holy Flame drew their swords and strode towards me, I said in a deep voice, "Everything in this town has been frozen in ice, how can those sailors conclude that there is a working ship here through the ice?"
"Wait a minute!" Betty stopped the Flame Knight walking towards us, "You go on!"
Hedda shouted, "Betty, what do you want to do? Are you believing the devil?"
Betty replied in a deep voice, "I only trust my own judgment. Wang Huan, you continue. ”
Again, I said, "Taking a step back, even if there's a working boat here, it's just a wooden boat. How big can that ship be? Can it fit all of you?"
Hedda roared, "Why do you say it's a wooden boat?"
"Just this town!" I raised my head and raised my chin in the direction of the house, "Have you ever seen modern ...... since you entered the town?" If you look at the facilities in the town, a town that doesn't even have a minimum power generation facility, can you trust the organic power ships here?"
As I spoke, everyone subconsciously looked at the town in front of me again, and many people showed a sudden look, and there was some suspicion in their eyes when they looked at Heda.
Heddah argued, "What if there are only wooden boats here?" ”
I sneered and looked at Heda: "I'm curious, why don't you care about the whereabouts of that coffin, why don't you ask the group of paladins who disappeared, and take a few sailors to find some wooden boats?
"I ...... I ......" Hedda said two words in a row before he said strongly: "My decision, it's not your turn to question." ”
I smiled and said, "If that's all my speculation, then I'll say something that is enough to confirm your identity, right? Betty, you can look down and see if there are any Hedda footprints on the ground." ”
Betty subconsciously glanced at the ground, and immediately pulled back and jumped a few meters away.
"Hehe......" Heda, who was standing in place, lay down on the ground with a sneer, Betty tentatively walked up to the other party and tested the other party's snort with her hand before getting up and saying, "He's dead." ”
All the paladins around us changed their faces at once, and Betty shouted: "Send a signal, let everyone come back, ...... quickly"
Several Holy Flame Knights immediately sent a signal to the sky, and one by one the signal flares were like fireworks in the festival, constantly shooting into the air, but no one responded for a long time. Betty's face turned whiter and whiter, and at last even her lips trembled slightly.
The Flame Knights they had sent out to explore the town had all disappeared, just like the coffin that had just fallen into the ice, and had inexplicably disappeared into this ancient town that could almost be seen as far as the end could see.
The only remaining forty or so Holy Flame Knights were also six gods without masters, and even automatically formed a defensive circle formation without an order, holding the empty town in front of them with their long swords in their hands, and they didn't dare to move.
After a while, Betty walked over to us: "Wang Huan, I need your help. ”
"Gear me! Keep signaling and see if you can get people back. "I know this is not the time to bargain, and there is no point in talking to Betty here, so I might as well find a way to get out.
I quietly made a gesture to Ye Xun to contact Li Xiaomei, looked at Betty and said, "Do you know the legend of Ghost Island in this sea area, or what other legends?"
"I don't know!" Betty shook her head, "I only know that the legend of the Titanic mummy is not the same as what your companion said." ”
Betty explained, "As far as I know, the mummy wasn't a princess, but a priestess. Yamanra should be translated as Amun-Ra, the invisible god of Amun's Egyptian mythology. According to. It was customary in Egypt that a god would have a priest or something like that, but he would not have any princess, title. So Princess Yamanra, it should be a misreading of the priestess Amun-ra. That's all I know. ”
I said in a deep voice: "You mean that the Titanic must have carried a mummy, but you don't know the true identity of the mummy, right?"
Betty shook her head and said: "In fact, no one can confirm that the Titanic carried mummies. The list of Titanic's goods has long been lost in the shipwreck, and no one among the survivors has said that they have carried mummies. ”
I frowned and said, "I have one more question. At our ship's speed, I shouldn't have reached the site of the Titanic wreck in two days. What happened to you while you were chasing us?"
Betty said bluntly: "Although we have bought the captain of the Tulip family, there are other family members on the ship. In order to guarantee that our people who remain in the Tulip family do not reveal their identities. We can only follow you and wait until the high seas find a way. ”
"But your ship has disappeared twice in a row, and each time you disappear, a fog rises from the sea. Your ship is in the fog, and we will no longer be able to capture any information. I can only order the fleet to sail with you into the fog. ”
Betty couldn't help but show a hint of horror when she said this: "By the time the fog clears, we will be thousands of nautical miles away. I even wonder if we passed through a spatial rift to jump thousands of miles in just a few minutes. ”
Betty said, "That's why I've always wanted to work with you. Lan Moying said that you are a very good probe. I think you've got a way to solve the puzzle you're in?"
I subconsciously said, "What can I do? I don't even know what to do now." ”
Everything I said was true, and everything we encountered after we went to sea was full of weirdness, although I also had some guesses, but I don't know whether my guesses were right or wrong.
Now that all the clues are in a mess, I don't know what to do for a while.
Ren Tianqing saw that I was silent, and couldn't help but say, "Wang Huan, I left a mark on the coffin just in case. I could find where the coffin passed. ”
My eyes lit up: "Really, where is the coffin?"
Ren Tianqing pointed to the church not far away and said, "According to the smell tracking, the coffin should have entered the church." ”
After Ren Tianqing finished speaking, he hurriedly said: "I didn't dare to tell you just now, I just think this matter is not very reliable!"
The entire church has been sealed off by ice, and the coffin must first break the ice outside if it wants to enter the church, but the solid ice covering the surface of the church shows no signs of breaking.
Unless the coffin has the ability to penetrate the wall, it is not possible to enter the church without a trace.
I strode to the main entrance of the church, pulled out the dagger on my body, and struck it on the ice several times in a row, but what I didn't expect was that the ice outside the church door would be blown into pieces under the dagger strike, and when the door of more than two meters was directly exposed in front of my eyes, the two doors slowly opened.
"Betty, let your men press out there. Let's go in!" I was the first to step into the church.
I don't know how long the church has been closed by the ice, it is like a gloomy ice cellar, and the slightest step forward, the biting chill will come with it.
Although I was born in the Northeast, I can't describe the suffocating low temperature, I even feel like my breath is frozen by ice, even if I have internal force to protect my body, I still tremble. Every few steps you have to stop to get used to the temperature in the church before moving on.
Ren Tianqing shuddered and said, "Coffin...... The coffin is going that way. ”
Ren Tianqing pointed in the direction of the center of the church, and she wanted to tell me that after the coffin rushed through the door, it rushed down the aisle between the two rows of benches to the place where the cross was hung in the center of the church.
When I raised my flashlight and shone it near the cross, I saw a few half-circle scratches on the ground, and the coffin that rushed into the church must have suddenly turned around when it was about to hit the back wall of the back of the church, and turned along the steps to the side door on the right.
