Chapter 0958: Assassination
I was very satisfied with the blueprints, and Gucas was much more efficient than I had imagined, but when I took out the Desert Eye, the middle-aged craftsman frowned, he took the Desert Eye and looked at it for a long time, then gently placed it on the table, looked up at me with a deep gaze.
"Sir, I don't know if I should say something?" He looked hesitant.
"If you have something to say, please speak!" I saw that he was very embarrassed, and I felt strange in my heart.
"This gem is called the Eye of the Desert, it is unique in the world, but the name is an ominous symbol, although it is unique, I advise you not to use it as a wedding ring, I have seen legends about it, it is a hoodoo thing." The craftsman's serious look was no joke.
"It doesn't matter, as long as it's unique, I kill too many people, and I can submit to anything hoodoo." For me, an atheist, there is no such thing as ominous, I can't remember how many people I have killed, even if it is a ghost, I have to bow my head in front of me.
The middle-aged craftsman was silent for a moment, then glanced at Gucas, and finally sighed and nodded, "Okay, since that's the case, I'll do my best." ”
Gucas didn't disappoint me, he was looking for someone who was indeed a top craftsman, and in just one day, at seven o'clock in the evening, the two wedding rings I asked for were completed.
On the way back to the hotel, I kept thinking about what kind of marriage proposal ceremony to design, although we are mercenaries, although we are notorious, this does not affect the greatness of love, on the contrary, we are more difficult, more difficult, and more cherished than the vast majority of ordinary people.
When I returned to the room, the goddess and the baby had arrived at the hotel in advance, the atmosphere of the room was a little strange, the baby was sitting on the edge of the bed, the bed was full of the trophies of the two shopping, but the two didn't even look at it, the goddess was packing her luggage, the baby was holding a tablet, and her fingers kept clicking on the screen and didn't know what she was looking for.
"What's wrong? What are you packing up for? I pressed the idea of proposing back to my stomach for a while, and asked suspiciously.
"There's something to do, you have to come with me." Thea was not polite either, and even packed up my things, except for the weapons.
"What's going on, where are you going?" Seeing Thea's solemn expression, I had a hunch that things were serious, and there were few tasks that could make her so dignified, and it seemed that this matter had nothing to do with Caesar, because the baby had no intention of leaving.
"Look at this!" Baby's tablet was handed to me, I took it and looked at it, it was a news, about the latest situation of the Sri Lankan government army and the LTTE, the top leader of the LTTE Prabhakaran was killed by the government army, the thriving LTTE was finally defeated, and after recovering many lost territories, Sri Lankan President Rajapaksa publicly announced that the Sri Lankan civil war was over.
I watched it for a long time and didn't see a reason, the Sri Lankan civil war has been fought for more than ten years, and today it has finally come to an end, but think about it, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, Caesar also helped the government army before, but I didn't go, the task at that time was to train government recruits, Caesar went to a few people, who can't remember, anyway, there is no me.
"What are you showing me for?" I asked with a blank look on my face as I handed the computer back to the baby.
"In the afternoon, I received a call from the Holy See that Archbishop Odin was assassinated in Sri Lanka, **** was shot, and I don't know if he is dead or alive." The goddess explained to me as she packed up her things.
"Odin's assassination? Don't make a fuss, so many masters of the Templar Order can't protect an old man? "I don't believe it, after all, the Templars are all masters, and with a group of perverts protecting the Inquisition, the chances of Odin having an accident are too low.
"It's true, Thea and the Templar Order have checked it out, and Slote himself admitted that Odin was taken to a hospital in Colombo for treatment, and the Inquisition has sent someone to Sri Lanka, but I don't know if he will survive this." Babe sighed and sympathized with Odin's plight.
"No, what is the old man doing in Sri Lanka if he has nothing to do? Isn't the lesson of the last time in Angola enough? If he hadn't insisted on going his own way, Yuri wouldn't have died, and he still wanted others to block bullets for him this time? "I really don't understand why Odin likes to do things so himself, what he can't let his subordinates do, he has to be there himself, and I don't know what he can do.
I was counting on him to give me a marriage certificate, but now it's good, and the marriage can't be done, with the temper of the goddess, I must go to see him, see the goddess's posture and can't wait to fly to Sri Lanka immediately, I thought that the mercenaries were free to get married, it would be very simple, I can't think of more trouble than ordinary people, at least normal citizens can still get a certificate, I don't need to get a license, I just want to give her a wedding, but it's more difficult than heaven and earth.
"Don't say that, Uncle Odin is also trying to appease the church, nothing is more convincing than his personal presence, you don't know, the civil war between the government army and the LTTE has destroyed more than a dozen churches, hundreds of believers of God have died in the war, the church there has existed in name only, and now that the civil war is over, it is his responsibility and his job for Uncle Odin to rush there to rectify the church."
The goddess understands Odin very well, he is not afraid of death, but he is in his position, as a cardinal, he cannot ignore the innocent faithful, those believers who are devastated by war, struggling with blood and killing, they pray the gospel of God every day, always believe that the Holy See will not abandon its people, it is the support of this faith, so that the church can be saved after several tribulations.
The presence of Archbishop Odin, representing the highest authority of the Holy See, in Sri Lanka is indeed the greatest possible reassurance to the congregation, and it is also his responsibility to rebuild the local church organization, and I say this because his assassination has once again disrupted my plans.
Call me selfish, call me unreasonable, in short, I think we have helped the Holy See enough, we are not saviors, there is no reason to intervene in everything, if it weren't for the sake of the goddess, I don't want to have anything to do with the Holy See, I can't see their compassionate appearance, as if they are the embodiment of God, true compassion is to treat all living beings equally, but their methods of treating infidels are even more cruel than ours, I don't comment on religious conflicts, But I think if you get too close to them, you'll be dragged down sooner or later.
"Here's the ticket, the 10 p.m. plane." Baby knew that I couldn't let Thea go to Sri Lanka alone, where the war had just ended and it was a time of instability, so he booked my plane ticket as well.
"Thank you!" I took the ticket, and I was reluctant to do it, but I knew that I couldn't stop Thea, and others might not care, but Thea would never stand idly by when something happened to Odin, and I couldn't put her in danger.
I only hope that the Holy See's brigade will arrive quickly, otherwise Thea will have to rush to the front for anything, I know her temper too well, and I hope that Odin can survive this, and I still count on him to marry me.
At nine o'clock that night, the baby drove us to the airport, I hate to take civil aviation the most, every time the security bell rings non-stop, I think I am a terrorist, I was taken by the security personnel to check inside and outside for a long time, after making sure that there is no weapon, I carefully checked my documents, tossed for a long time before letting me go, I wondered, the same soldier, Xia Ya body why there are no fragments, is it really God's favor?
