Chapter 690: The Bell

Lin An rented a boat, and the boatman swung his oars and floated along the river.

The upturned bow of the boat broke through the water, drawing two diagonal water lines on the green river, and the boat approached a ferry port where the boats were moored in the town.

There are four or five similar boats moored under the stone steps, the boats in this town are basically the same style, one of them is close to Lin An's empty boat, the boatman who is hunched over and washing his hands in the bow of the boat raised his head, and saw Lin An's master and servant stunned for a moment, and his eyes subconsciously fell on Angelia behind Lin An.

Then he remembered something, and saluted hurriedly and roughly, his slightly thick lips squirming, wiping his hands and not knowing what to say, his eyes flashing with doubt and panic.

Lin An saw it in his eyes, and he was even more sure that this boatman might recognize Angelia.

Before, she noticed the abnormality of this boatman and left a mark on him, thinking that it might be an acquaintance of Angelia, but after knowing about Angelia's family, she couldn't rule out the possibility that it was a chess piece put down by the person behind the scenes.

"You know her?"

"Yes...... No, no, mercenary, the villain just thinks that this young lady is familiar, no, there is nothing else......" The boatman misunderstood that Lin An was here to ask the teacher, and hurriedly shook his hand and bowed down to apologize.

"I've never seen you, and you're not from the town, so how can you think I'm familiar!"

Angelia, who was already anxious about the situation of her parents and family, could not help but sneer, and stepped into the boat, where the boatman took a few steps backwards in a panic, and the boat almost flipped over from the shaking.

After the boat stabilized, Lin An paid the fare for the original ship. He also jumped over, calmly looked up at the boatman and said, "Let's row." ”

Lin An and the others didn't seem to have good intentions, and there were many people on the surrounding boats and on the shore watching the movement here, so many people were watching, and the boatman still had some confidence to refuse.

But as soon as he raised his head and looked at Lin An's eyes, the dark brown eyes seemed to have turned into pure black, and the boatman was stunned, and immediately responded. Picked up the paddle that was lying at his feet and rowed out.

Of course, it was impossible for an ordinary boatman to resist Lin An's mental manipulation and rowed the boat into a hole under a white bridge according to her instructions.

The white bridge has a slightly wider deck, and when you look down from the outside, you can only see a small boat parked in the shadow of the bridge, but you can't see what is happening in the shadows.

"Who are you? When did you come to Sinreba Town? Why pay attention to that red-haired mercenary? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I'm little Hank, and I came to the town of Sinreba more than three years ago. I paid attention to the mercenary because a family outside the town had paid me some money to keep an eye on their little daughter when they moved out. The mercenary looked a little like the portrait they showed me, but I'm not sure. ”

"Ahh Angelia let out a low cry.

Lin An frowned and glanced at her lightly. Angelia immediately covered her mouth. Keep asking.

"The family you are talking about, is it the Green family who originally lived in the ghost building?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Yes. ”

"So, when the Green family moved out, they already knew about their youngest daughter? How do they know? Do you know where they went? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I don't know, but the townspeople say they've made a windfall, and he told him before he left that there would be a bounty. So I always remember what they said. ”

It seems that this boatman is not an insider, Angelia was suddenly deeply disappointed, but Lin An said without changing his face:

"So if you know the news of the return of the little daughter, where are you going to report and receive the reward? Did the Grimm family leave any way? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Yes, the miller named Grimm was on good terms with the steward of the Bauhinia caravan. Every month or two, the steward would bring a caravan to the town of Sinreba. The miller had told him that he could give the news to the steward, and that I could receive the reward directly from the steward. ”

The latter problem couldn't find anything, Lin An kept instilling the power of nature into the boatman's body, and the boatman just looked mentally exhausted.

Lin An used suggestive techniques to blur the impression of this questioning, asked him to row a boat to the nearest shore, put down some fares and left.

"Miss, when I was still at home, I didn't paint any portraits." Angelia had calmed down a little at this time, and immediately told Lin An about a flaw she had found after going ashore.

"Well, but the boatman is not lying, he has seen your portrait, and he has not forgotten the promise of your father's bounty, so he can recognize you, but the source of the portrait is questionableβ€”"

In front of a mage like Lin An, it is impossible for ordinary people to keep secrets, and only by letting the boatman not know the truth, only as a pure messenger, can Lin An follow the other party's plan step by step.

Angelia suddenly, her face showed anger, "That boatman and steward should not know the inside story, it is just a line used by the other party to contact us, so the other party deliberately left this line, deliberately let us know that my family is indeed accused of being accused." ”

Lin An nodded.

Otherwise, the other party is not sure when Lin An will find out about Angelia's relatives, if he leaves after looking for no solution, then the other party's move is not in vain? So of course they had to stay behind and let Lin An know some clues to find the people behind the scenes.

Flicking the sapphire on a bracelet on his wrist, Lin Anlian connected Keno and roughly explained the situation.

"Leaving a clue for you to facilitate the exchange of conditions? In this way, the other party is very confident in their plan and doesn't think you can track it down! Keno chuckled.

Lin An knew that Keno was reporting the difficulty, increasing the price, and said lightly:

"With the weight of the Green family, it can't make me go to the soup, and the other party is probably just trying to increase some bargaining chips. Since they deliberately left clues and will come to the door sooner or later, if both parties are interested in taking the line, and you can't have any definite news for a long time, I have to doubt your sincerity. ”

"It's worthy of Master Lin, it's still difficult to take advantage of you!"

Kino's voice in the gem laughed again, but he understood Lin An's beating, and the lives of the Green family could not make An. Lin went to the soup, and their information naturally couldn't be a bargaining chip for him to get an inch, Keno's voice paused slightly, and Yan sΓΉ got up, "Okay, according to the clues you provided about the Bauhinia caravan and the portrait, I will continue to investigate, since the other party intends to leave clues, there should be a lot of gains." ”

"Well, I'll see."

"Wait!"

Lin An was just about to close the interrogation, but was stopped by Kino, she frowned slightly and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Just yesterday, something big happened in the Holy Empire, and perhaps, it is necessary to inform you that if Master Lin's next travel plan is in the Holy Empire." Kino's breathing slowed slightly, then calmed down again.

Lin An couldn't hear his words to test his next move, but he also raised a trace of curiosity, "Please speak." ”

"Yesterday afternoon, on the ladder of faith on Mount Olympus, a god descended from heaven, and a god who gave birth to sixteen pairs of wings of light was born, and it is said that the supreme god personally sent an oracle for him - this is under the witness of countless believers, Angus II even personally led the Holy Son and the cardinals to greet him, according to the content of the oracle, this sudden oracle is likely to become the next pope after the death of Angus II, and the whole oracle has now been announced to the world, and the full content is ......"

Keno recounted the contents of the oracle, word by word, extremely clear, Lin An held his breath slightly, and after Keno finished reading, the communication fell silent.

"Thanks for informing me, sure enough...... It is a major event that is enough to alarm the mainland! ”

After a while, Lin An's voice sounded again, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but his voice was not smiling, "Dilin and Mount Olympus are too far apart, and I haven't gotten the news yet, but it should be soon......"

As soon as she finished speaking, a melodious bell rang from the church bell tower in the center of town.

Bell-bell-bell-......

In Lin An's field of vision, when the bell first rang, people subconsciously looked towards the center of the town.

Then the fisherman lowered his net, the passer-by stopped, and the chasing children raised their innocent little faces...... From the first person to kneel down in prayer, everyone in the field of vision, high and low, began to pray.

"Our Father in heaven,

Hallowed be your name.

Thy kingdom come,

Thy will be done on earth,

as walking in heaven. ……”

When the chanting sounded, Angelia was subconsciously stunned, and then a soft hand reached over to hold her, Lin An took a few steps back and pulled Angelia into the alley behind her.

"Heh, Master Lin really said a prophecy," Sapphire flickered slightly, and Keno's voice said, "In a short period of time, this matter has spread from Mount Olympus to Dillin, if there is no particularly important matter, I suggest that you should not continue to travel further." ”

"What about you? The appearance of the Divine Favor will probably also make your plan this time a little twisted and turned," Lin An heard some caution in his tone, and simply didn't say anything dark, "You are now working for Merlin's intelligence system." ”

Keno was noncommittal to Lin An's last sentence, and only said:

"It's true that the appearance of the Divine Favor came too suddenly, and it is likely to cause a lot of uncertainty to my plan this time, but after planning for so long, this matter has become imperative, and it is likely that Master Lin will need help at that time - but after completing this plan, I should immediately withdraw to Merlin, and let Master Lin know first."

Ending the communication, Lin An looked at Angelia, who was looking out of the alley, and immediately turned back when he noticed it.

Although her face was two points pale, she was completely unmoved by the sight of the townspeople praying in unison outside, Lin An was a little surprised, but she revealed, and said calmly:

"We can't stay here for long, let's go out and find Saleen."
