Chapter 800: The Cross and the Fish That Slipped Through the Net

"We're in Nau River, Alan!"

“…… Will Dad, Aunt and Uncle welcome us?"

"Don't worry, I've already sent Butler Robert here to settle ...... first."

A small convoy of men and boys entering the city gates, and outside the carriage, two guards rode up and talked in low voices.

"Good luck this time, when passing by the pass of Mount Ammis, I thought that the people of the Finnis Thieves would at least come out to collect the toll, but I didn't expect to be safe all the way, and nothing happened - God Father's blessing, this mission is really not bad, I really hope that the next time the luck will be the same as this time."

"It's indeed a little strange, since the start of the Eastern Crusade, many civilians who have evaded military service have fled into the mountains, and there are many large and small thieves near the official road, it is said that the business of the merchants is getting worse and worse, just paying tolls can make the cost rise several times, so the recent food prices will rise again and again, but I see that the road we passed through was calm and quiet, as if someone had cleared the road for us in advance, there was no such sign at all!"

Behind them, a wagon slowly followed.

The carriage seemed to have a protective color, and appeared at the back of the convoy from time to time during the seven or eight day journey, but the convoy guards were completely unaware of it.

"Master, they seem to have arrived in the city of relatives, should we continue to follow the boy?"

"Let's look at it for two more days, the child's mental power suddenly exploded under the stimulation, and he meditated at this time, this kind of example, I haven't seen it in reality with my own eyes, now I have the opportunity, observe more."

"Didn't the master want to take that child as a disciple?"

"Although I am optimistic about this child, my current situation is not suitable for teaching disciples. Although the meditation method that the child secretly obtained from his mother's relics was ordinary, it was especially suitable for him, so that his spiritual power potential could be developed so quickly. Groping without guidance, without blowing your head off. He also successfully meditated, and he was not even discovered by the grandmother who got along with him day and night, which means that he is lucky enough - such a good seedling is a pity to stay in the Holy Empire. ”

You must know that even Lin An's first meditation took half a month to succeed, and from this point of view, the boy's talent is beyond doubt.

"The boy's father has noticed his little move, master, do you think he will take the letter of introduction left by the female apprentice. What about the underground mage organization in Nau River City? They came to Nau River City. The purpose is not just because there are relatives in this city! ”

"You'll find out soon after you look at it......"

The sky was like an overturned inkwell. Silence was rendered in a thick black, and there was silence, and a man's figure flashed out of the doorway, listening carefully to the voices of the patrolling city guards. Follow the dark corners through the streets.

But the man never realized that there were always two unhurried figures behind him.

"That direction seems to be the inner city, did the mage organization put the den in the inner city?" Athena whispered suspiciously.

"Just look at it."

The truth was more imaginative than expected, and the man's destination turned out to be a warehouse in an alley away from the aristocratic church in the inner city.

"It is worthy of being one of the important territories of the mage organization, and it seems that the mage's secret power in Nau River City should not be low." Lin Andao.

Athena tilted her little head, "That female apprentice was so careful that she didn't leave any clues in the relics, if it wasn't for her husband leading the way. If we need to find the secret den of the mage organization, I'm afraid it will be a bit of trouble! ”

There was a secret passage in the cellar of the warehouse, the underground waterway leading to the city of the Nau River, and the man showed the letter of introduction to the blind old man who guarded the warehouse, and was led to the entrance by the blind old man.

The location was determined. Lin An and Athena did not continue to follow.

It's not that they can't, it's just that although they want to connect with the mage organization on the territory of the Holy Empire, if they follow the man directly in, it will inevitably cause hostility, and it will take a lot of effort to gain trust at that time, and the current domestic situation of the Holy Empire, the secret organization that sneaks deeper will not give her this opportunity

Therefore, Lin An didn't plan to appear in front of the mage organization at all, what she wanted was the information of the Holy Empire and the Holy See in order to understand, and it was obviously impossible for the mage organization to hand over things to her like this.

Originally, it was not impossible to sneak in directly, but Lin An escorted the family all the way, although it was mainly for the boy, but he also wanted to do good things to the end, the boy's father was their guide without knowing it, if they sneaked in now, if they were discovered, it would inevitably affect the boy's father's family.

"I'm a little jealous that boy has so much favor from you." Athena muttered.

"It's just that a woman is overly full of compassion, and I still have a little compassion when it doesn't matter," Lin An soothed, "Don't worry, Athena, his weight is definitely not one percent of yours." ”

Athena turned her annoyance into joy, and happily took out a few illusion lion materials and threw them into her small mouth like a snack.

Lin An saw her reaction in his eyes.

Athena didn't seem to notice that her gaze on others became more and more frequent.

The two of them easily returned to the hotel where they were temporarily staying, and returned to their rooms without alarming anyone, and Titi and William were not surprisingly absent - as they further cultivated and fused their powers, they became more and more repulsed by the bustling city and bustling places, and usually did not like to appear in front of people.

At this time, the two who were in a relaxed mood did not expect that in just one night, things would change unexpectedly.

"Master, last night's den of the mage organization was exterminated by the Holy See, and tomorrow there will be a public trial and execution in the municipal square, and many people in the hotel are talking about it!"

Athena pushed the door in, bringing the abrupt news.

With the advantage of her appearance and age, coupled with the assistance of illusion, whether it is the content of people's public discussions or private exchanges, it is difficult to hide from Athena who wants to eavesdrop, not to mention that the news has spread all over the streets.

Athena was even lovingly admonished by the kind shopkeeper not to go out casually, or she would be captured by the evil mage.

At the same time as this news came a search warrant issued by the city hall, and places such as inns and outsiders who had recently come to Nau River City were the focus of the search.

This search was not a matter of coping at all, and even the bribes of the shopkeepers and the flattery of the waitresses did not make the captain of the city guard squad in charge of the search relax his tense face.

Driven by the city guards, the guests went downstairs and gathered in the restaurant on the first floor. The search team even brought female soldiers, separated the female guests into separate rooms, and conducted a full-body search inside, the men dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, nervously listening to the screams and cries behind the other door.

Of course, Lin An and Athena were also taken to the makeshift search room, and easily used a spell to make the searching female guards think that they had been searched, and were taken to the group of crying women.

Lin An asked the illusion master Athena to repeat his old trick and create an illusion to replace them, and the soldiers and others were unconscious, snorting into the air.

There was a loud ping-pong bang upstairs. There is even the sound of something falling on the floor and shattering from time to time. The sound of jingling bells is usually irritating. At this time, it was like a thunderbolt, so that even if the male guests who were very concerned about the female dependents were anxious, they did not dare to act rashly and speak out to resist.

There was also a young male guest who impulsively wanted to break into the makeshift search room because of his sister's screams.

But his fate. He was directly beaten half to death by the city guards who rushed up, and then he was detained on charges of "ramming the city guards" and "suspected absconding", and was taken away along with the young man's sister.

Looking at the obscenity revealed by the star guards when they looked at the girl, others knew at a glance that the girl was going to be more and more auspicious, but there was a precedent in front of them, and no one dared to speak out to resist, for fear that he and his companions would be affected.

Later, two more foreigners were found, a Fischer-Tropsch merchant and a minor nobleman from Stuart. When they were pulled out by the soldiers, they shouted and shouted, and the people on the side knew their identities, and Lin An paid attention to them because of the nationality of the little noble.

“…… Don't, don't arrest me, I'm a believer. I am a godly Lamb of God the Father! I went to the Mass of God's Messenger, and really, you see, I also carried the cross that God had blessed me with, you see! ”

The Fisto merchant shouted, and when he heard the content of his words, the faces of the people were in awe, and even the soldier who was dragging him violently let go of his hand.

Seeing the silver cross on a silver chain that the merchant took out from his neck, and recognizing it for a while, the soldier nodded to the squad leader, and with a cold face, the squad leader hurriedly motioned to let go.

Of the two who were finally pulled out, only the Stuart nobleman was taken away, and the Fitto merchant returned to the crowd, separated from the crowd with a frightened face.

Others couldn't hear what he was muttering to himself, but Lin An heard the other party's words, and his eyes lit up slightly.

The search of the city guards came and went like the wind, and after a short search of a quarter of an hour, the originally beautifully decorated inn was turned upside down, and the innkeeper's face turned black and ugly, and he sighed sadly, and couldn't help but sigh in a low voice to the people around him:

"This is the third time this month, each time it is bigger and bigger, the hotel really can't be opened, it seems that it is better to pack up and go back to the countryside to retire! It's getting more and more unquiet in this city, and I've heard that the situation in Lincheng is even stricter than that of the city of the Nanube......"

After a chaotic day, at night, every house in and around the city of Nau River was closed, even the aristocratic district in the center of the inner city was no exception.

Because it is said that the raid on the den the night before, there were still fish that escaped from the net, and even the city's daytime search did not completely catch the escaped mage.

Lin An went to Allen's aunt's house to quietly check on their situation.

Allen's father actually returned home safely, and was not arrested, but just fidgeted in the room.

Lin An, who was secretly observing, noticed something, and secretly searched the inside and outside of Aunt Allen's house, and sure enough, he found that several of the servants who often came to serve Allen's family were dropped.

These people had a vague fluctuation of spiritual power, and there was a high degree of tension under their calm expressions, and one person would be left near the room of Allen, his brother and grandmother at any time, and another person would wander outside Allen's father's door from time to time.

Lin An finally understood what those fish had slipped through the net the night before.
