Act XXVII

When Irandall walked into the room, Pahaibel was already waiting. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"I saw the message you left me, what's the urgency?"

After the vigil, Pahaibel returned to his room and saw the mark left by Elandall on his door, which was originally agreed between the two in the orphanage in order to communicate secretly, and after seeing the brief message, Pahaibel immediately pushed down all the work at hand and came to this room to wait for Elandall.

"What do you think of the recent plague in Byron Weith, Pahaibel?"

Irandall said slowly, his eyes a little wandering.

"Plague...... The plague is still under control, but the refugees outside the city lack the necessary means of protection, and I have taken people to distribute some before, but the gap is too large. ”

Pahaybel said, looking at Randall with some puzzled eyes.

"The source of the plague is still unknown, but after the last time the monsters in the sewers were eradicated, the spread rate of the plague has decreased significantly, and it seems that it is inseparable from the cultists. ”

"That's what I thought too......"

After a pause, Irandall took a deep breath before slowly speaking.

"Pahabel, don't get excited to hear what I'm going to say next. ”

"Hmm. ”

Pahaibel nodded, but when he saw Irandall's serious expression, he suddenly had a slight foreboding in his heart.

"Actually, I came back this time mainly to investigate the corruption incident in the Great Church of Byron Weis. ”

As he spoke, Irandall looked into Pahaybel's eyes.

"Especially Bishop Edgar. ”

"W-What, Edgar him?"

A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and Pahaibel looked a little shaken, and secretly clenched his fists.

"Yes, in fact, the plague that is now spreading in Byron Weiss is becoming a tool for Bishop Edgar to enrich himself. ”

Irandall, who had lived with him since childhood, saw that Pahaibel's appearance was not disguised, and then told Pahaibel everything he had investigated, including Bishop Edgar's joint sale of holy water with the Durant family and the Izzarian family, and earlier, Bishop Edgar used the relief of orphans to defraud the Church of funds and other crimes.

"How is it possible, Bishop Edgar is usually meticulous, he will not be like this. ”

Pahaibel said in disbelief that he, as the second-in-command of the Great Church of Byron Weith, had been kept in the dark, which seemed to be a huge blow to him.

Bishop Edgar's betrayal was not only a betrayal of the Church and the faith, but also a betrayal of Pahaybel and others.

Irandall took Pahaibel's hand and tried to calm him down.

"But, but, even if all this is true, we have no proof. ”

Pahabel's hands were still a little shaky when he came back to his senses, and he said, getting to the heart of the matter.

"That's right, it's hard to control a bishop, that's why I'm telling you this, Pahaibel, I need your help. ”

"Help?"

Pahaibel immediately realized that he had a prominent position in the Great Basilica of Byron Weith, and he could enter many places that ordinary people could not enter, and naturally he could also have a lot of evidence against Bishop Edgar.

But this is quite risky, he believes that Elandall will not spread rumors out of thin air, but Bishop Edgar has many divine items on him, as a diocesan director, and the authority of the Great Sanctuary of Byron Weiss to defend against divine magic, if he finds out, then the two Black Iron Upstream really may not be able to compete with it.

After hesitating for a long time, Pahaibel let out a long sigh and nodded slowly.

"Okay, Bishop Edgar will meet with the people of the Izzarian family later, and I can go to his room at that time to find out, and we will meet here in the afternoon, and then we will contact each other. ”

......

Lawson was putting away the task list in his field of vision, about to re-comb the course of events, but he felt several pairs of eyes staring at him.

Someone?

He jerked to his feet, his right hand clenching the greatsword behind his back.

Apparently not human, Rosen spread his senses to see a few bright silver lines extending from behind several tombstones to where he was.

!!!

Without thinking, Rosen instinctively pounced forward, and saw that the position he was in had turned into charred black.

A huge fireball directly engulfed the bush, and then three synths sprang out from behind the tombstone, encircling Lawson.

These synths were not much different from those seen in the underground tunnels that day, but they were undoubtedly much stronger, and they exuded fluctuations of magical power around them, as if they could manipulate elements within a certain range.

The previous fireballs were given by them.

Could it be that those monsters in the sewers are still only in their rudimentary form?

It occurred to Rosen that he had thought that the behemoth in the sewers was the source of these monsters parasitized by the etching insects, but now it seemed that it was just one of the branches, and the real source was somewhere else.

Moreover, this is the cemetery of the Templar, not far from the Templar, and clergy often come to dare to appear in such a place, either they are not afraid of the Templar's armed forces at all, or they simply run out of the Templar.

Looking at the appearance of these synths, it seems that their intelligence is also higher, and they form a formation and take care of each other, not giving Lawson a chance to break through one by one.

"It's kind of interesting. ”

Whether it was Lawson who had strayed into their defenses and alarmed the synths, or whether his aura had been recognized, Rosen didn't have time to think about it, and he unsheathed his sword and assumed a posture that lowered his center of gravity.

Between the three beasts and the undead, there seemed to be sparks in the air between the intersecting qi and the engines.

Then Rosen moved.

The sword light lit up, and it was divided into three, and for a while, three Lawsons existed in the world at the same time, and the three of them stabbed directly, slashed horizontally, and slashed vertically, attacking the three synthetic beasts.

The laws of time and space seemed to have failed at this moment, although the three synthetic beasts had a certain amount of intelligence, they had never fought against an enemy of this level at all, and in the blink of an eye, they were already in a different place, and they couldn't even defend against a move.

Blood splattered, staining the gray tombstone red.

When Lawson saw the erosion insects, he immediately devoured the corpses, and then one by one they turned into pus and seeped into the grass.

"It doesn't look safe here. ”

After thinking about it, according to the previous observations in the sewers, these synths are obviously able to share certain information through some spiritual links, and Lawson has now been exposed, and there must be more synths coming, if they stay in place, it will be tantamount to throwing themselves into the net.

He didn't mind killing a few more synths, but now Rosen's advantage over the cultists was that he was in the shadows, and the other party couldn't grasp his movements, so it was impossible for Rosen to show up directly.

Looks like I'll have to find another place to meet with Irandall.

Moreover, judging from the feeling just now, these synthetic beasts are also a little weird.

Rosen thought, put away his sword, and decided to find another place to wait.

"In that case, it is better to go there. ”

Remembering how many surviving etching bugs he had in his bag, Rosen thought of a suitable place to go.
