Chapter 32: Infiltrating and the Girl
The heavy stone gate did not move at all under Luo Lan's push, and sure enough, it was like the previous stone gate, with a special opening mechanism.
After skillfully fumbling with the door for a while, Luo Lan found the button to open the stone door.
"Click"!
After a slight crack.
The stone gate slowly rose with a roar, and a stone staircase that gradually meandered upwards appeared in front of me.
In order to prevent someone guarding the exit and possibly feeling the fluctuation of mana, Luo Lan asked Aurora to extinguish the ball of light, take out a new torch again, light it, and carefully touch it up the stairs with the torch.
There were no other dangers along the way, and after climbing up the stone ladder for about five or six minutes, Luo Lan finally came to the end of the stone ladder.
His sensitive ears could even faintly hear the faint sound of footsteps overhead, and a faint burst of words in the distance.
"Someone's up there?"
If the exit is guarded all the time, it will be difficult to get out quietly, and if it is discovered, everything you have done to infiltrate it will be in vain.
After frowning, Luo Lan held her breath, tried her best to restrain the magic fluctuations on her body, and listened intently.
"Hey, have you heard?" The sound of two footsteps came from far and near, listening to the heavy footsteps, they should be wearing armor, and they were probably two knights on patrol.
"What did you hear?" The other asked curiously.
"It's why His Majesty the Pope spent so much effort to arrest those heretics everywhere this time!" The person who spoke at the beginning said mysteriously, and the voice became smaller and smaller, but fortunately, they happened to walk above Luo Lan's head at this time, and under the quiet listening, Luo Lan still took all the conversations into his ears.
"Cut~! I thought you were going to say something! The other said with some disdain, "Isn't it because of the prophecy that the devil who will eventually destroy the world has descended on the heathen!" ”
"Hey~! Do you think this prophecy is true? Is there such a thing as a devil or something!? The first to speak asked.
"What does it have to do with a soldier like us!?" Another said impatiently:
"And, even if it's true, there are the head of the regiment and those big people in the church to worry about, you probationary knight is worried about a fart!"
"That's right, let's patrol with peace of mind, by the way, the earthquake ...... before" The two of them chatted as they walked, getting farther and farther, and gradually left the top of Luo Lan's head.
After waiting for a few more minutes, there was no other sound nearby, Luo Lan extinguished the torch in his hand, opened the stone wall above his head, and instantly turned over and got out, and then his figure flashed and hid in the shadow of a big tree.
The stone wall closed slowly and silently, and it was only then that Luo Lan had time to look up at the surrounding environment.
He found that his location at this time should be in the courtyard at the back of the church, about ten meters away in front of the back door of the church, not far behind him is a vertical cliff, the waves hit the rocks of the cliff from time to time, making a light rustling sound, a gust of sea breeze brought a slightly fishy smell of fresh air, which made Luo Lan, who had been squatting underground for a long time, instantly feel much more refreshed.
After continuing to study and observe for a while, except for the two knights who patrolled before, Luo Lan did not find that there was a fixed sentry nearby, as for whether there would be a secret sentry or something, he didn't believe that someone would be stupid enough to arrange a secret sentry near the cliff.
"Aurora, do you feel any magic alerts or something?" Luo Lan, who didn't dare to release the perception probe without authorization, asked cautiously.
"I didn't find any special magic fluctuations nearby, but I felt a trace of abnormal magic gathering points inside the church, and there might be some magic traps." Aurora said after feeling the aura of magic in the air.
"It seems that the underground secret passages and halls that keep that 'earth dog' are not known to all the people in the church, otherwise it would never be so lax, or maybe that guy is just for the gatekeeper?"
Luo Lan pondered for a while, I don't know if the church's higher-ups have a way to know that the earth dog was killed by themselves, but they can't be lucky, after all, there is such a big commotion in the cemetery, it is very likely that he has been exposed now, so he has to quickly find those imprisoned Orientals and find a way to leave the city, otherwise it will be troublesome if it drags on for a long time!
No longer hesitated, Luo Lan went directly to the back door with a flicker.
Just as he stretched out his hand to open the door,
'Squeak'!
The originally closed door was pushed open directly from the inside!
Luo Lan almost collided with a church priest wearing a white priest's robe and a high hat, and to his great horror, he hadn't heard anyone's footsteps approaching before!!
The moment he didn't give the other party a reaction, Luo Lan took the other party into his arms with a backhand, covered the other party's mouth, and at the same time pulled out the long sword at his waist and put it on the other party's neck, threatening in his mouth:
"Don't scream! Or I'll kill you right now!" ”
Feeling the slight struggle of the person in his arms, the warmth from the soft body, especially the touch from the arm holding the other party's chest, and the faint fragrance from the nose, Luo Lan suddenly discovered that the priest in his arms turned out to be a young girl!
However, to Luo Lan's surprise, by the faint starlight, he found that the girl in his arms at this time was just staring at him curiously with bright big eyes, and there was no look of fear on her fair face, but a slight flush, and she nodded quite cooperatively, indicating that she would not shout nonsense.
"I asked! You answer! I won't kill you! Blink twice when you understand it! Luo Lan frowned slightly, looked down at the girl in her arms, and said in a deep voice in her ear.
The warm breath that spit out made the girl's ears itch, and the blush on her face instantly connected to her white neck, and her small and cute ears trembled like animals, and Luo Lan was slightly stunned when she saw it.
The girl's whole body almost fell into Luo Lan's arms at this time, and she whispered 'En' in her nose, and blinked her big eyes twice very obediently.
Nephrite Wen Xiang hugged Luo Lan, forcibly lowered her face and whispered to the girl, "Do you know where those captured Orientals are held?" ”
The girl blinked her eyes twice, and Luo Lan slowly let go of the hand covering her small mouth, but the long sword in her hand was attached to the girl's neck, signaling her to obediently stop shouting.
"Are you here to save those poor people?" What surprised Luo Lan was that after the girl spoke, her silver bell-like voice was full of worries about those Orientals.
"I know where those people are, but, I'm sorry, I can't take you there." After a slight hesitation, the girl had an apologetic look on her face.
"Do you know what you're talking about!" Luo Lan's expression tightened, the long sword in his hand pressed down slightly, and a blood line immediately appeared on the girl's white neck, and bright red blood beads slowly dripped down the blade.
"Not what you think!" The girl's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she hurriedly explained, "The place where those poor people are held is the dungeon of the church, and there are many knightly guards in it, if you go down alone, you will be killed by those knights!" ”
"You don't have to bother with this, tell me where the dungeon is!" Luo Lan said with a resolute expression, no matter what, he has to find those Orientals today, even if it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, he has to break through, not to mention that he is quite confident in the strength of his bronze rank now.
The girl looked at Luo Lan's eyes as bright as stars, and after feeling the resoluteness in them, she sighed slightly, and after thinking about it, she said with a serious expression:
"Well, I have a way to take you in, but I hope you'll listen to me along the way."
"Master, this girl seems to be serious." Aurora's suggestion came from Luo Lan's ear.
"Why are you helping me!?" Luo Lan asked.
"Because, because those people are innocent, I don't want them to die in vain, God has always told us to have mercy on the world, and I can't watch those innocent people burned to death." The girl's face was serious, and Luo Lan seemed to see a slight white holy light on her face.
"Master, this child is a real 'sage', you should be able to trust her." Aurora's voice rang in Luo Lan's ears again.
"Well, I believe you!" After thinking about it for a while, Luo Lan slowly let go of the girl, but his long sword still did not leave the girl's neck, and he warned: "But once I find out that you are lying to me, then, don't blame me for destroying the flowers!" ”
"You come with me!" The girl didn't seem to hear Luo Lan's threat at all, or she didn't think about disobeying her words at all, so she turned her back to Luo Lan and walked towards the church.
Looking at the girl's graceful back, Luo Lan was slightly stunned, but still put away her long sword and followed quickly......
