Chapter 653: Number 24

A moment later, Leo and Bella were standing somewhere in the ruins.

This place looks like the rest of the ruins, the same ruined walls are full of devastation, and the word "broken" is enough to accurately summarize everything here.

From this point of view, it is clear that the people in the Inquisition under Leo are quite quick and serious in their work, after all, if the inspection is not careful enough, this kind of position that seems to be similar to other places can easily be overlooked.

I saw that the adjudicator who brought Leo here stretched out his hand and pointed to a certain place in the ruins in front of him, and said to Leo: "My lord, our people were just searching this place when they heard a strange noise, and it seems that there is still something inside. ”

"Strange noises?" Leo was also interested at this time, and leaned in to take a closer look.

The place was located in a corner of the ruins, and two very thick beams were diagonally placed on the left and right, forming a triangle with the ground, and the bottom of the beams was covered with gravel, dust, and all kinds of tables and chairs, and a corner of half a quilt could be seen peeking out of the ground.

"This looks like a bedroom," Leo touched his chin, a move he had just learned from Duke Habs, but it was hard to touch his smooth chin, so Leo decided to grow a beard from today, which should make him more masculine, and Bella would like it more......

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency?" The adjudicator's scream brought Leo's thoughts back to reality, and Leo realized that he had just unknowingly wandered, coughed twice, and pointed to the ruins of the bedroom in front of him, "Are you sure the sound came from here?" ”

The adjudicator nodded, and before he could speak, suddenly a faint but clear "click" sound reached everyone's ears

Leo perked up, and immediately walked quickly to the side of the girder on the left, which he had heard very clearly, and from where the sound came from.

But from where Leo was standing, there was nothing but rubble and debris in front of him, and he couldn't see the source of the sound inside.

Leo rolled his eyes and shouted inside, "Hey, is there anyone in there?" If you can hear it, say it! ”

After shouting several times in a row, Leo was a little disappointed to find that he didn't get any response.

Leo exhaled a little depressedly: "Hell, did you hear it wrong just now?" ”

Bela, who had been standing beside Leo, spoke, "There was a voice just now, and I heard it. ”

The adjudicator on the other side also said he heard the voice.

"Damn, why didn't that guy react at all?" Leo couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Could it be that he is deaf?" ”

Bella thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's a pet that's being locked inside?" ”

"Pets?" Leo was stunned for a moment, and then thought that Bella's idea seemed to be very possible!

If it's a pet, it's completely possible to explain what's in front of you, because pets belong to the type that can make sounds and can't understand human speech.

"Damn it, did I get by a pet?" Leo suddenly felt a little speechless.

At this time, there were suddenly several intermittent "da-da" sounds from the beams.

Leo could hear it clearly this time, and the tapping sounds were short but regular, which obviously could not have been made by a cat or a dog.

"That's not right!" Leo immediately made a judgment: "It's definitely people inside!" Only one can make such a regular sound! ”

But then the question arises again, if there is indeed a person under the ruins, then why is that person able to make a tapping sound but not respond to Leo's cries?

Leo's heart moved, and he reached out and knocked the girder in front of him a few times.

Seconds later, the same knocking sound came back from under the rubble.

Leo straightened up and let out a long breath.

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and find everyone, we found a live mouth!"

"Yes, sir." The adjudicator was equally overjoyed, and immediately after answering the call, he let out a sharp whistle, which was clearly the signal for him to gather his companions.

"You've done a good job!" Leo patted the young adjudicator in front of him on the shoulder with great satisfaction: "Tell me your name, I'm not the kind of boss who doesn't reward merit. ”

The young adjudicator was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his face was happy again, and he immediately saluted Leo: "The twenty-fourth adjudicator of the Inquisition has seen Lord Leo. ”

"Twenty-four?" Leo nodded and said, "I remember there were twenty-three before... So you've just joined? ”

Don't look at the headquarters of the Inquisition on weekdays, it looks like a haunted mansion, in fact, there are not many members of the Inquisition, according to Cheetos, "there are not a thousand but eight hundred", but most of the members in it are outside all the year round, after all, the function of the Inquisition is located outside the church.

And not every one of these members can be called a "judge".

In fact, if you want to become an adjudicator, you must first make a lot of merit and get the approval of Cheetos, the master of the Inquisition, before you can be promoted.

That's why there are only twenty-four adjudicators in the Inquisition today, and to put it bluntly, this Adjudicator is the exclusive title of the elite in the Inquisition, and it is not something you can get by running errands for the Inquisition.

"That's right, sir." Adjudicator No. 24 said, "My subordinate just passed the test two days ago and was promoted to one of the glorious adjudicators. ”

"Two days ago?" Leo thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "You must have made a great contribution in that battle for the return of light, right?" ”

Within the Holy See, there is now a new name for the battle led by Bishop Gavin against the opposition, "The Battle of the Return of Light", which means that the light will really return after defeating Enhill, although Leo doesn't think the name is worthy of the name, but history is always written by the victors, isn't it?

Adjudicator Twenty-Four looked at Leo with admiration in his eyes, and Leo knew he had guessed correctly.

The young adjudicator held his head high and said to Leo with great pride, "That's right, my lord, it was in that battle that my subordinates assassinated three enemy captains, and they were promoted to adjudicators for their merits. ”

"I see." The admiration on Leo's face intensified, so he patted the adjudicator on the shoulder again: "Yes, do a good job, I am optimistic about you." ”

Don't look at the number of these three captains, it seems a bit insignificant, but if you consider that the victorious Knights of the Wings of Light only have a total of five captains, then this number is actually quite staggering and even amazing.

Soon, the people who had just been scattered all over the place gathered here, and under Leo's command, they began to clean up the ruins.

It took several hours to clean up, and after seeing that it was about to get dark, the good news finally came from those who had gone deep into it along the cleared passage.

"My lord, we found a man inside, and this man is still alive!"
