Chapter XXVIII
Hearing the four words of the White Night Church, Yi Fu's vigilance was immediately stretched to the fullest.
She walked into the stall, which had just been decorated, and found the vendor who was whispering, and threw a few copper coins to them.
"What are you talking about? I want to hear it too. β
The vendors were still a little frightened when they were interrupted from conversation, but when they saw the coins she tossed, they didn't care about it anymore, but put down the latte art in their hands, pulled her closer, and told her about the great events that had happened recently.
"The Twelve Churches were slaughtered in Shatania, and the scene was horrific and no one survived. β
"How do you know that none of them survived? Aren't there quite a few people in the Twelve Churches?" Ifu asked.
"Yesterday was the end of the month, I heard that they will hold a worship ceremony, everyone will be there to participate, and now everyone is blocking the news by default, so you can just listen to this matter, but don't spread the word, otherwise our reputation in Shatania will be ruined, and the city will send people to investigate thoroughly. β
"Understood, thank you. β
After listening to the words of the merchants, for some reason, Yi Fu always felt that there was something strange about this matter.
She had her companions wait at the Golden Lion Tavern, and then ran alone to the branch of the Twelve Churches.
Anina... Anina, don't be fine!
The girl who wanted to be good to her even if she was poor, the girl who was deceived by her and didn't have time to apologize to her.
When I arrived at the branch base, a long cordon had been set up nearby, and there were not many people around, perhaps because the scene was too cruel, or maybe the smell here was really bad.
Some corpses were killed directly in the heart, but there were also many corpses with their heads separated, and some suffered great pain before death, which makes people unpredictable about the thoughts of the perpetrators, and of course it is possible that the murderer is not alone.
Ifu bypassed the cordon and entered the stronghold.
She leaned against the wall to keep herself in the air, or she would have tripped over the corpse under her feet, or the unknown ribbons in the dirt before she had taken a few steps.
Emerging from the gloomy tunnel, the lobby was no different from the outside, corpses piled up on the stairs on either side, and even the originally holy statue of the goddess was stained with the blood of the faithful.
"You're here, Silyin. β
When she heard someone calling for her, she immediately followed the direction of the voiceβonly to see Liz sitting on top of the statue of the goddess, looking at her condescendingly.
"I want to talk to you. β
"What do you want to talk to me about?"
She was a little shocked, and then looked at Tisoa's body under the statue of the goddess, and she looked around hastily, but she didn't seem to see Anina's body.
Judging by Lizna's calm attitude, everything here is most likely her masterpiece.
"From the first day I met you, I knew you didn't really want to join the Twelve Churches. Liz's voice floated like a ghost and then into her ears, and Ifu didn't interrupt her, didn't ask how she knew, just waited quietly for her to follow.
"I already know a little about you, we don't want to be an enemy of people like you, after all, the life and death of the Twelve Churches has nothing to do with you, I want you to quit this matter, otherwise... I can't guarantee that child's safety, I guess, it's called Anina, right?"
"You..."
Hearing Anina's name, Ifu looked up at Liz, "What did you do to her?"
"She's safe, in the Twelve Churches, okay, I'll wait for you too, gone. With that, Liz got up from the statue and ignored her "wait" from the statue, just looked sideways at Ifu, and then leaped into the air and disappeared.
Back at the Golden Lion Tavern, the others sat in their seats and waited, but they couldn't keep up because of the hurry in which Ifu left, so they had to follow her instructions and come here.
"Yifu, sit down first. Seeing the complicated emotions on her face, Red didn't rush to ask what was going on, but calmed her down and let her sit down.
"Liz. β
Ifu sat down and spat out these two words.
"It was Liz who did it. β
"Lizβ" several people read the name, analyzing the current situation.
"Maybe there are some other problems in the Shatania branch, otherwise even the upper priest would not easily slaughter the branch of a region without permission, not to mention that many people don't know the inside story of the monster cultivation plan. The canary said.
"Agreed. Everyone agreed, and then looked at Yifu, she didn't seem to be excited at the moment, just sat there calmly, Xia Li was still not at ease, and asked: "Since you know about this, have you already met Liz? Did she tell you something..."
"Hmm. She nodded, her voice soft as a feather: "The Twelve Churches took Anina, it doesn't seem to kill her, and Liz and I didn't have any conflict, just said that if I quit, she wouldn't do anything to Anina." β
"And what are you going to do?"
"I don't know if we'll have their eyeliner nearby, so... You may have to be careful in the future, not only to complete the commission, but also to rescue Anina. β
"That said, our only connection to the Twelve Churches is severed, and where to find them is still a problem. β
Xia Li flipped through the translated documents, the twelve churches acted very carefully, not only did the correspondence be encrypted, but also the addresses were not written on it, and even the words on it were not accessible to many members of the church who had been in the church for several years.
It took a lot of trouble, but the clues were broken overnight. Everyone's mood was a little low.
Ifu sat in his seat, his fingers fiddling with the straw of the mint ice milk in front of him, while absentmindedly looking around the store.
She noticed that there were clerks in the store who were decorating the store with some beautiful hanging decorations and activity stickers in their hands.
Is it time to celebrate the festival at the store? She looked out the door, only to find that many of the small vendors had decorated their shop doors, and she thought about it, and the few vendors who were talking just now were also chatting and pulling latte art, but she was more concerned about the affairs of the Twelve Churches at that time, and did not think about these details in detail.
Even in the tunnel to the church headquarters, there are a lot of beautiful ribbons, and if they were still alive, they must be like everyone else, decorating the room inside the walls and the steps they usually stand.
"Speaking of which, if there are any important festivals lately, the streets have been quite lively these days, and I thought it was the daily life of Novertia. β
The canary cares about the environment as much as Ifu.
