Silence and darkness enveloped the alley, and there was a faint smell of blood wafting in the air, and one of the two dark shadows walked around in the alley, as if searching for something, and the other taller man came to the pit that had been made by the black-clad magician with a trap, and looked thoughtfully at the lifeless steed and the broken carriage in the pit, and did not say a word for a long time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After about ten minutes, the relatively short man finished his search of the alley and came to the tall man: "Master, they have all been checked, and it seems that the Bishop's subordinates have done a very meticulous job, and have not missed anything that would allow us to find out the clues. ”

"Well," the tall man replied a little nonchalantly, apparently not surprised, "Anyway, the task of eradicating the dark sect is within the purview of our bishop, and it would be disappointing if his men were stupid enough to let go of even the clues that came close to them." ”

"But in the battle just now, there were still two heretics of the dark sect who escaped, if they choose to hide in the city, it may pose a great threat to the security of the city, I suggest you immediately dispatch the city guards to conduct a city-wide search." Dwarf humane.

The tall man chuckled, "Dear Farindor, I think you're overthinking. If those two remnants of heresy were still in the city, as long as their brains were not so stupid, they would definitely choose to lurk like two rats, and it would be impossible for them to make any disturbances to law and order. ”

He cleared his throat and continued, "Besides, if we had conducted a city-wide manhunt now, wouldn't it be tantamount to confessing to the Bishop that we had been hiding from the sidelines during the battle, seeing everything clearly, but not intervening to help him. If that is the case, what good will this city-wide manhunt do us, except to make the people of the city flutter and offend our new bishop in vain? ”

It turned out that these two figures were none other than Viscount Juan Habs, lord of Varna, and his steward and magistrate of the city, Falindor.

After listening to Viscount Juan's explanation, Farindo couldn't help but be slightly startled, revealing a embarrassed expression: "It's because his subordinates are not considerate. ”

Viscount Juan added: "But since this broken carriage is still here, it means that our bishop has not thought of hiding this from us. Well, you go to church tomorrow morning as sheriff and see if you can get something out of his mouth. ”

"Yes, master." Falindo replied, and asked with some puzzlement: "But there is still a question for the subordinates, why didn't we come to the aid of the Bishop at that time?" ”

Viscount Juan laughed when he heard this, and said in a very indifferent tone: "You must know that the Bishop is already responsible for clearing the remnants of darkness, if he can't even defeat these remnants, then he will die." ”

"I hope you don't forget, my lord, that the Bishop was attacked on the way back after having dinner with you, and if the Bishop did die in this battle, it might cause us some trouble." Farindo reminded.

"Hey," Viscount Juan disagreed, "he's not dead." ”

"But as you can see, the female assassin in black almost killed him with a single palm." Farindor insisted.

"I only saw him leave the alley alive, and the sound was not small when he left." Viscount Juan made the final decision on this little dispute.

"Yes, master." Falindo bowed his head obediently, since it was obvious that the viscount didn't want to continue the topic anymore, there was no point in talking about it. As a clever steward, Farindor knows exactly when it's appropriate to voice oneself and when to keep one's mouth shut.

Viscount Juan pondered for a while, and then asked, "By the way, what do you think of the strength of our new bishop?" ”

Falindo thought for a moment and said, "The strength of the Bishop is somewhat beyond my expectations—too weak. ”

Viscount Juan raised his eyebrows and said to Farindor: "Weak? What a weak method, let's listen to it. ”

Falin Duo said, "Judging from the entire battle process, this Lord Bishop has only released one divine technique from beginning to end, and that is the healing technique. And judging from the effect of the spell, the healing effect of this healing technique is really poor, so it is very likely that it is not the mid-level healing that a mid-level magician should cast, but the first-level healing technique that a beginner-level magician casts. ”

Viscount Juan's eyes flickered: "Go on." ”

"Yes, master." Falin Duo said: "Another thing is also very strange, if you look at the strength of a mid-level magician, even a fourth-level mid-level magician should be able to easily release hundreds of primary-level healing techniques, but our Lord Bishop has exhausted all his holy power after only releasing a total of twenty-three first-level healing techniques, and from my observation, this Lord Bishop does not have any disguise and concealment of strength, so-"

Viscount Juan suddenly interrupted Falin Duo's words: "So he is nothing more than a beginner-level magician at all, and it is very likely that he is a relatively weak beginner-level magician, right?" ”

"Yes, master." Falindo nodded, and then said, "But according to our intelligence, this new bishop should have advanced to the middle level three years ago. ”

"A guy who should have advanced to the mid-level realm earlier, in an unreserved life-and-death battle, he only played the level of a beginner-level magician," Viscount Juan snorted, "So what do you mean-"

"According to the judgment of his subordinates, it is very likely that this Lord Bishop is a fake." Falindo replied without thinking, apparently having a decision in his mind.

"Fake?" Viscount Juan couldn't help touching his chin and began to frown and ponder: "This is really a very interesting conclusion. ”

Farindo did not continue to speak, but stood by with his head bowed. For the butler, all that had to be said had been said.

After a while, Viscount Juan spoke again: "Dear Farindor, what you said earlier is true, but I think you missed a few key points. ”

Viscount Juan walked over to a wall and pointed to the "large" hole in the wall: "First of all, if he had been a beginner magician, he would not have survived the female assassin's hand, and from what we have observed, he not only survived, but soon became completely alive - as if he had never been injured." ”

"Secondly, the black-clothed wizard has undoubtedly reached the mid-level realm, which can be seen from the group spell he unleashed, the Scarlet Realm, but the strange thing is that the small soul skeleton spirit body that the mid-level wizard cast at the end was actually devoured after entering the bishop's body, if he was only a beginner-level magician, it would be impossible to do this."

"Finally, and most crucially, every blue-clothed bishop will have a mid-level temple warrior by his side as a personal guard, and there is no doubt that this bishop of ours also has a mid-level temple warrior who can use holy power, and the realm of this temple warrior is completely clear from the previous battles - a mid-level temple warrior."

Farindo looked at his lord, "So master, what do you mean—"

"I mean," said Viscount Juan with great certainty, "whether he is Allah or a false bishop, this bishop must still be hiding something. I had a hunch that if I could discover the secrets of this bishop, it would do me a good thing. ”

"Yes, master." The clever butler immediately understood what his master meant: "I will arrange for people to keep an eye on the church twenty-four hours a day." ”

"Remember to choose some clever people," Viscount Juan admonished solemnly, "Remember to tell them that even at the risk of losing their target, they must not be discovered by this bishop and the Templar warrior, do you know?" ”

"Yes, Director."

"Okay, I've finished reading everything I should see, let's go."

A light breeze blew through the alley, causing a small ripple on the dusty ground, and the supposedly secluded alley was finally completely restored to its tranquility.
