28. The "feelings" of the bishop
"Fillily! This ......"
Although the sound of hurried footsteps was heard at first, it was clear that the latter was more important than the screams and roars that came from the direction of the divine angel later. After all, there will be thieves and gangsters everywhere, but I am afraid that there is only one in this world now.
Should I say lucky or unlucky? When Nangong panted and ran to the place where the incident occurred and was surrounded by the inspectors who also hurried from all directions, all he saw were a few corpses that could not be considered cruel, but they were indeed at the level of "unrecognizable".
Two of them were old men who looked to be quite old, and judging by their sumptuous attire, it was clear that they were also people of a certain status and status in the Inquisition. However, no matter how "noble" the status they have in a sacred place like the Inquisition, they can't get rid of their identity as just ordinary people after all, and at this moment, they are still "noble" and like the corpses that often appear in movies and television, they leave this world with the fear of death.
It is not clear whether it is heaven or reincarnation Nangong is not clear, but it is certain that they left two "chic" corpses as a memento of their existence.
In addition to the bodies of the two old men, there were also two bodies of young men, most of whom had committed suicide judging from the swords they had stabbed into their chests and their hands pressed to the hilts. This black dress is very familiar, but if you dig deeper, their faces are really ......
"This is something that only some assassins with the will to die would do......"
Filily crouched down as she spoke, unmindably observing the faces of the two Assassin corpses, which had become unrecognizable. I have to admit that if it is this level of facial destruction, I am afraid that even the investigation of identity will be a problem.
"It looks like the whole face was destroyed by magic or something. Most of the burns are beyond repair. Damn it. Is there already an assassin of this level eyeing the oracle? ”
Assassin to the death. After carrying out the mission, even their own lives will be sacrificed for their master, and even at the cost of enduring most unimaginable pain and destroying their faces to destroy as much evidence as possible. The only thing that can be found now is their clothing, which looks like the same style as the so-called "magicians" who attacked Ballette before, but unfortunately this is not important evidence, I believe that Filily has already noticed it.
However, I always feel a little awkward, not to mention why the two old priests are here, if these assassins really target the divine envoys, there should be a lot of time before the Inspector arrives. Are you worried about the power of the oracle? Or is there more to it than that......
"Oops!" Filily jumped to her feet as if she had suddenly woken up. didn't even bother to protect the scene of the crime, "all the inspectors hurried to ......"
【Boom】
A loud sound comparable to a bomb explosion struck with a shaking comparable to a small earthquake. And the location of this sudden "explosion" is in the opposite direction of this crime scene.
"The assassin target is the priest's residence!"
Although she was staggered, Filily still took the lead in rushing towards the real "scene" with an inelegant movement, "One-third of the guards protect the oracle at the scene!" The rest and I'll do it! ”
……
Hit the trick!
Looking at the figure of Filili, who was already a little desperate, in front of her, even if she wanted to tell her that it would be useless to go now, Nangong had to silently follow behind with all her might. I'm afraid that from the first explosion, everyone started to rush in the direction of the gods, and the result was already doomed.
The "plan to divert the tiger from the mountain", which should be thought of halfway in normal times, was not thought out because everyone was too worried about the safety of the divine envoy. The two Assassins must have taken the two priests hostage and brought them to the vicinity of the Emissary's residence to attract attention, while the rest of the Assassins had the exact opposite aim. It is what Filily calls "the abode of the clergy".
That's right, it's not one or two assassins. Rather, it is a "gang of dead men" that is almost syndicate, which should have been understood long ago when Ballet was in danger. But who is their master? Moreover, who is this master aiming for, and why are these assassins able to calculate opportunities and timing so accurately......
I always feel like I've thought of something, but for now, let's prioritize the consequences of the explosion!
"Your Excellency, Bishop!"
In the distant firelight, the archbishop suddenly appeared limping and running, but it was clear that she was not out of trouble, because a dark figure had already appeared behind her......
In order to keep the archbishop safer, Filily hurriedly blocked the Assassins' path. But fortunately, the situation did not go to the worst side, and just as Filily hurriedly drew her sword to resist, Xixun, who slid past her, had already taken the dark life in a moment.
Although the knife technique like cutting sashimi makes the corpse look a little scary, as long as it can be saved, it is nothing.
"Archbishop, are you alright?"
The anxious Filily didn't even have time to thank her, and immediately knelt down to help the archbishop who was sitting on the ground, "What happened here is ...... of residence."
"Many, lots of assassins...... And all of a sudden, it appeared. ”
The devastated archbishop glanced at the Assassin who had just almost "sent her to heaven", and gasped as he replied, "Their target is the old clergyman...... Before anyone could react, they ...... I'm about to arrive...... And here it exploded...... And then it was discovered. ”
After that, the archbishop was considered weak, so he only let one Assassin chase him in order to escape faster. Whew, should I say...... It's a good thing that the archbishop is underestimated, right?
"Fillily! Don't go! ”
The archbishop, who had eased up a little, regained a lot of his previous majesty, but it seemed that because of the injury and the relationship that had been saved, she finally had a little "ordinary person" feeling at this time.
"The house is already on fire, and it won't help if you go!"
"Your Excellency! At least ......"
"Fight the fire first!" The archbishop interrupted Filily strongly, and her hand tugging at the corner of Filily's robe never let go, "Compared to those clergymen who are already uncertain about their life and death, you have to be much more important now!" ”
"......"
"Ombudsman! I, Archbishop Ferea, command you to ......" After a strong end to the argument, the archbishop turned his head towards the Ombudsman who had gathered around him.
It seems that she intends to use her power to enforce orders. Although it cannot be said that her order was wrong, but at this time, maybe Filily's approach was better, and perhaps the archbishop didn't want anything to happen to Filily, and this feeling was understandable.
"Immediately notify everyone except the Guardian Envoy of the Guardian Spirit, and immediately come to put out the fire!" (To be continued......)
