Chapter 44: Fleeing the Road

Without thinking much about it, Qinia immediately grabbed Su Mu and entered the door. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Behind the door is a corridor that leads to the chapel in front. The two followed the kind woman through the side door and sat down in a bedroom.

This bedroom looks small and small, with white walls and mahogany floors, and a huge emblem of the Holy Dragon Church, which is full of solemn religious atmosphere. All kinds of utensils and books in the house are arranged in an orderly manner, which can be seen in the rigorous style of the owner of the bedroom.

"Thank you for your kindness, what do you call it?" Qinia is very grateful for the emergency rescue of the nun in front of her, this temporary shelter can allow her and Su Mu to have a good rest.

The nun held the Holy Dragon emblem around her neck and drew a symbol on her chest: "I am Sister Teresa, you don't have to thank me, all this is the instruction of the Holy Dragon Helras, praise Helas!" Teresa closed her eyes, held the emblem with both hands, and thanked the holy dragon.

After finishing, Teresa went to get the water cup, poured the water and handed it to Qinia and Su Mu, he smiled and said, "I happened to go to the city center to buy today, and I saw the two of you being chased by a group of fierce people. When I got back to church and looked through the window of the chapel, I found you running again. Thank you Helrath, the Holy Dragon has guided you here, and I must help. There is no murderous intent on your faces, you are innocent, and Hellas is a blessing to his people. ”

Su Mu was not in the mood to listen to these words, he was very irritable now, a lot of information was exchanged in his brain, and it was the evil force group that wanted to harm the Su family, and it was all kinds of information behind Qinia, and the execution of his father Su Cheng was about to be advanced again. He felt that his head was clouded all the time, and there was a fire hidden in his heart, and the roots of his tongue were dry and painful. When he saw the water handed by the nun, he drank it all, and felt better.

"Thank you Hellas, kind Mother Teresa, for our only one night here and we'll be leaving tomorrow morning." Zinia is not a member of the Holy Dragon Cult, but she also pretends to be a believer, which can make Teresa let her guard down and believe her words.

St. Long Hellas is the new Augustus. The state religion of the Holy Dragon Empire, the main god of the Holy Dragon Cult, which rules over the twelve dragons and constitutes the religious deity system of the empire. Both the new and old empires believe in dragons, and the belief in dragons has penetrated into the marrow of the people of the empire. Even if they are not part of the state religion, people will talk about the twelve dragons in their daily lives, which has become a long-standing tradition in the culture of the empire.

"Then I'm going to the chapel to pray to Hellas, so get some rest. Recently, there has been an accident in the Su family, and things big and small in the city have appeared, which is worrying..."After Teresa left, Qinia made up her mind, she sat on the bed, thinking about how to explain the organization to Su Mu.

Time passed minute by minute, and the two of them still held back and didn't speak.

Finally, someone still spoke, but it was Su Mu who was the first to speak.

"Tell me, what exactly is the organization you are talking about? If you can save Dad, then make it clear, there is almost no time. Su Mu's voice was a little pale, he felt very tired, since Yunge exploded, there were many things surrounding him every day, worrying about the life and death of himself and his family every day.

Qinia took a sip of water, she had gradually sorted out her thoughts just now, and as soon as Su Mu spoke, she replied: "I can't reveal the name of my organization to you, but I can tell you that this is an organization with lofty ideals, and from time to time there are interest groups. The Order pursues the Compass in order to unravel the mysteries it contains. This mystery can be said to be closely related to the Heavenly Pillar in the center of the continent. ”

"The Pillar of Heaven... This... This..."Su Mu was so surprised that he almost bit his lip. Although he had never seen it with his own eyes, both books and rumors regarded the pillar in the center of the continent as a symbol of the Creator. Legend has it that the Creator created the Pillar of Heaven, which is as huge as the Eternal Lake that runs between heaven and earth.

For thousands of years, the earthlings have been studying the Pillar of Heaven without stopping, but the progress has been very slow. The strange phenomenon of the fluorescent fluid on the surface of the Pillar of Heaven makes people feel at a glance that it is incompatible with the current world technology. Around the Pillar of Heaven, the Reiko will become extremely active, which is also an unsolved mystery today.

"A month ago, the organization sent someone to buy a compass from your father, and he agreed, but later, our informant found out that there was another group of people who came after him and found your father and offered a higher price than mine. It's just that your father put integrity first and agreed to the deal with the organization. ”

"Half a month ago, I came to North Star City, and we met you by chance in Yunge, and we became friends. I'm here to make sure the deal goes smoothly. It's just that the explosion in the back was very sudden, which caught the organization off guard. The next day, your father was arrested, and you left the city in a hurry. I can only know where you are going through the informant's informants, the Misty Forest. After that, I hurried over with the Jace mercenary group, and I was able to catch up. ”

"As for the equipment, it's all about the organization's financial resources. Plus, your family is now protected by the Order, and they're safe in Jacintos. ”

Qinia told her all the reasons and consequences for coming to North Star City, and from her calm tone, she could feel that she was not lying.

Su Mu was relieved a lot at this time, what Qinia said was restored again and again in his mind, combined with the compass information that Wang Li told him, he decided to continue to believe in Qinia. In his current situation, he couldn't trust anyone else except for Qinia, Renee and Alec.

Su Mu took a deep breath, took steady breath, and looked at Qinia: "No matter if you still have something to hide from me, at least what you said is not fake, and there is no malicious intent." That mysterious compass, it should be the core of this series of puzzles, Suren, Ripley, and those black robes, most likely for it. Su Mu also said what he knew, but he deliberately hid the Lingzi key that Wang Li gave her. At present, the time has not come, Su Mu thinks it is better not to say it.

"That's right, I suspect now that the black-robed people are the second group of people who bought a compass from your father, and the black-clothed people who chased you in the Misty Forest are likely to be sent by them." Qinia analyzed.

Hearing Qinia say this, Su Mu suddenly opened his mouth: "Could it be that the black robe framed my father for the compass?" In this way, Suren and Ripley should be their eagle dogs! After sorting out the internal and external logic, Su Mu stood up and was about to walk out the door. Time is running out, we need to hurry back to the Thieves' Guild, I think we can use the compass to catch Suren and Ripley! ”

Qinia grabbed Su Mu and pressed him back to her seat, she softened her tone so that Su Mu could listen: "You can't leave now, I'm afraid that Su Lun and Ripley will find you, and they will definitely try their best to find us." Take shelter here today and leave tomorrow. If you are caught, your father is completely dead. ”

"But..."Su Mu was about to speak, when he heard the sound of "squeak" opening the door, and Mother Teresa walked in, still serving dinner.

"You must not have eaten dinner, I brought it here, you can eat it while it's hot!" Teresa's smile was very kind, as warm as the sun. He laid the food out and placed it on the table.

"Thank you so much! Thank you Hellas! Qinia thanked the nun, then gave Su Mu a look and asked him to go to dinner.

As soon as he smelled the fragrance, Su Mu's stomach "growled", he was not polite, he used to gobble up and eat, he had not eaten well in the past few days.

During the meal, Mother Teresa sighed, and the attentive Qinia found out, she walked over and held the nun's hand, and said gently, "Lady Teresa, do you have any troubles?" Holy Dragon Helas is above, don't sigh. ”

"Well, you don't know. Recently, the Inquisition is coming, and there is a problem with the church in North Star City. The noble belief in the Holy Dragon, tainted by money and power, is losing its luster..."Theresa's eyes showed a look of frustration, completely lacking the luster and warmth of the previous talk about the Holy Dragon.

It was not surprising that in this wealthy city, it was inevitable that the church and the government would be corrupted by money, and once lust took over, morality and conscience were worthless.

"Archbishop Hainault has been behaving strangely lately, always nervous, he insults his sisters and brothers for no reason, and he is often late for service, I don't know what's wrong..." ”

Sensing her gaffe, Teresa quickly packed up her plates, put them together, and walked out of the room with her hand, and when she closed the door, she also bowed deeply to Zinia to express her apologies for the gaffe just now.

Su Mu looked at the Holy Dragon Emblem on the ground and felt a little ridiculous, the solemn Holy Dragon Sect was also corrupted by money. And Qinia on the side seemed to have discovered important information, and walked over to Su Mu is words: "The nun just revealed very important news, I think it will be very useful for us in the future." ”

"Useful?"

"Since the Inquisition is coming, it means that there is something wrong with the church in North Star City, since it will be corrupted by money and power, it must be related to many chambers of commerce, do you think that according to the current momentum of Ripley and Suren, they will not get involved in the church? Maybe both of them have something to do with the government church! ”

"I see, in addition to their own clues, we can start from the church or the sheriff's office, do you mean that?" Su Mu was inspired by Qi Nia, and his brain spun quickly.

After Qi Niya finished speaking, she began to take off her clothes, which made Su Mu a little at a loss, and she didn't know what she meant.

"What are you still doing? Rest early to have the spirit to return to the chance agreed by the thieves' union! Zinia took off her coat and lay down on the bed.

"Okay..."Su Mu sighed, he really had to get a good night's sleep.

After resolving the misunderstanding with Qinia and reaching an agreement, Su Mu completed the sorting of clues. Now that everything is straightened out, we just wait to go back and listen to the results of their interrogation of Devit.

※※※※※※※※※※

Late at night, in Ripley's mansion.

With no sign of DeWitt, Ripley was suspicious, and he muttered in his study, "Where is this little bastard running away?" ”

He wasn't the only one in the house, there was Suren. He sat on the couch and stamped his feet anxiously.

Soon, hurried footsteps came, and three black-robed figures walked in. Su Lun immediately stood up and responded, putting on an ugly flattering look: "Lord Marga! How did you get there? Ripley, who was behind him, also quickly stood up.

Marga removed her black hood, revealing scarlet eyes and pointed ears. The dead gray skin made Su Lun feel like he had seen the dead, and his face was sweating all the time.

"How's it going tomorrow?" Marga's voice was cold, and she didn't answer Suren's question because she wasn't interested.

Seeing this, Ripley immediately replied, "Tomorrow will be a good show!" We have already arranged all the people, as soon as the Su family appears, arrest them immediately! In addition, Su Lun and I seem to have found Su Mu's kid today, and he is in North Star City. Catch him, and you can make Su Cheng speak! ”

"I don't care about that, as long as you can bring me a compass. Tomorrow, we're going to be away for a few days, and these days are your deadlines, and if you don't get the compass yet..."Maga said, casting a deathly glance at Ripley, making Ripley's lips tremble and turn pale. "Ask for your own blessings, for there is always a price to be paid for doing things."

Ripley and Suren trembled with nervousness, they didn't dare to make any moves, for fear that Margaret and the others would kill them casually.

Marga walked to the window and looked at the reddened moon, she was a little excited, and her lips smiled.

"Just waiting for tomorrow's show..."
