Chapter 57: Paranoid Love
"Please, big brother, you must rescue Sister Martha, you must ah!" The little boy begged vigorously, "You don't know that I came to the dock to ask about the passing merchant ships whenever I had time, and I have been asking for four days before I met you, why did you come?" ”
Murong Tao glanced at the system time, and it was now 1:17:23 a.m. on April 19, 1609. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info still have a lot of time until dawn.
"Is the tower heavily guarded?" Since this little guy is in charge of delivering food, he must know more about the tower and the nearby buildings, "You said that room is dedicated to the Holy Maiden?" What is Holy Maiden? ”
"The Holy Maiden is sacred, she only believes in her own faith throughout her life, and the main thing is that the Holy Maiden must be a virgin and can only be single for the rest of her life until the end of her life." Murong Tao didn't care who the little boy heard these words from, but just "lonely old age" made Murong Tao shudder a little.
"Let me ask you again, isn't that Sister Mary your Sister Martha's best friend? Could it be that she was locked up in that room too? "Murong Tao can only hope that Sister Mary can be a little busy now, even if she is not kind to herself, she must also look at the previous friendship with Martha, the starting point.
"I don't know about this, Sister Mary is not in that room, Sister Martha is the only one there." The child's words let Murong Tao know that there is not much time left, and it is obvious that Sister Mary is difficult to protect herself in the church, and it is understandable.
"By the way, is Bishop William in the church now?" Although he has prepared for the worst, but fortunately, he has a relationship with this bishop, even if he doesn't give himself face, he has to give the Duke of Loire a little thin face, as long as he squeezes out the face of the Duke a little, it may be of some use.
"After the bishop led the team to Cherbourg before, he was directly recalled by the diocese, and I heard that he was summoned by Cardinal Richelieu, so he returned to Paris." The little boy's face was full of excitement, and it was obvious that the biggest person he had ever seen at his level was Bishop William, and for a presence like Richelieu, he could not have dreamed of it.
"Okay, I know, you just stay here, I'll go back." Murong Tao understood that it was obvious that someone deliberately supported Bishop William, and this small action was carried out, even if he waited for Bishop William to return, it was estimated that the daylily would be cold, Murong Tao quickly changed his clothes, simply covered his face with a black scarf, and left the hotel like this.
"You're trying to sneak into the heavily guarded St. Nicholas Church under such a disguise?" A dialog box suddenly blocked Murong Tao's way, as if it was an invisible glass, but it seemed to have a substantial feeling, so frightened that he hurriedly paused, stood in place, and looked at the words on the dialog box.
"And what recommendation are you going to give me?" Murong Tao sneered in his heart, every time he saw such a dialog box appear, he knew that the damn system was staring at his meager experience pool.
"Open the mall, with the current experience value in the experience pool, there is a set of night tights that is quite suitable for you, and it is currently on promotion, so I will charge you 15 experience points." It seems to be a tailor-made suggestion for Murong Tao, but after looking at the only 15 experience points left in the experience pool, the shameless system of feelings is ready to clear his experience points unconditionally and undisciplinedly to be satisfied.
However, now the situation is stronger than people, Murong Tao really has no time or energy to get a set of night clothes now, relying on a black cloth to cover his face, it is inevitable that he will not be caught by others, so the play he and Marcus co-starred in is probably the end of losing his wife and breaking his army.
"Although this set of night clothes is cheap, but it is expensive in the material, comfortable to wear, but also extremely light, as if there is no weight in general, can perfectly highlight the user's own level ......" (omitting thousands of words here), in the face of the system's undisciplined modification, the look black, featureless night clothes, but it is compared to the heaven and the earth without a representative, isn't it just trying to deceive Lao Tzu's experience? Take it!
directly acquiesced to the exchange function, and seeing that the experience that was finally put together at 15 o'clock was instantly cleared, Murong Tao only felt a burst of comfort, a complete set of night clothes had replaced the original coarse cloth dress, and the whole person looked different.
Looking at the direction of the church roughly drawn by the little boy, Murong Tao quickly touched the back door of the Church of St. Nicholas, and did not think of opening the back door with skillful lockpicking skills, but jumped up on the spot, put his hands on the stone pillars on both sides, jumped up with both feet and frogs, and went straight over the wall into the backyard of the church.
The backyard is relatively close to the tower, and Murong Tao, who is hiding in the bushes and calmly observing the surrounding situation, has already watched the four batches of patrols leave, and sure enough, as the little boy said, the security in this area is really tight.
Just as Murong Tao was about to break through, he saw an acquaintance, wasn't it the Sister Mary who was following a high-ranking priest and approaching the tower with small steps? How could Sister Mary follow this priest to the tower at this time? Could it be that she is also trying to find a way to rescue her good friend Martha?
However, looking at the solemn look on Sister Mary's face, it was obvious that the priest in front of her was looking at the horse, and she followed carefully all the way.
"Is there anything special about today?" The priest stopped from the tower guard **** and asked.
"It's the same as usual, except for three meals sent by little Varus, nothing out of the ordinary." The questioned guard spread his hands.
"Are you sure there is nothing unusual today?" Just as the priest was about to enter the tower satisfied, Sister Mary, who had not spoken, suddenly paused and asked, "You'd better swear to God that what you say is true, or you know the consequences!" ”
"Uh, no, I'll confess, little Varus only came to deliver the meal twice today, and the one in the evening was delivered by other children, and little Varus hasn't shown up until now." The guard quickly changed his words, "I thought little Varus was sick or sent on an errand, but when I asked about Luke, who came to deliver food today, he told me with certainty that little Varus had been out since lunch, and he hadn't been back to his dormitory yet. ”
"Damn it!" The priest complained angrily, and then walked towards the tower like wind under his feet, and Sister Mary behind him said coldly, "When this matter is over, I will come back and hold you accountable!" ”
Murong Tao, who was hiding in the shadows, heard the words of several people clearly, even if he didn't hear them clearly, there were annotations and translations of what was said to several people in the dialog box, Murong Tao frowned slightly, it was obvious that he understood one thing, that is, Sister Mary obviously didn't seem to be here to rescue Martha, and the child named Little Varus who delivered the meal was obviously the little boy who delivered the letter, so Sister Mary also had an inseparable relationship with Martha's imprisonment in the tower.
It wasn't until Sister Mary's figure disappeared into the corridor of the tower that Murong Tao slowly approached the tower guard, and at the moment he reacted, a hand knife slashed at his bare neck, directly knocking him unconscious, and then leaning against the wall in the same posture as before, using the spear he put aside against the crumbling body, in such a dim midnight, it still looked like he was standing guard there.
Because the tower only had a curved and rising staircase, Murong Tao did not choose to follow closely, but stepped on the increasing layers of tower joints on the outer wall and slowly went around to the shadow area behind the tower, and quickly climbed upward, which was not slower than the speed of the two stairs.
When he came to the outer wall of the top floor, the priest rushed to the front of the room dedicated to the saint maiden out of breath, where two guards were also arranged to guard, in the process of Murong Tao climbing all the way, he found that there were two or three guards stationed on each floor of this tower, fortunately, he did not rashly follow the two of them up the stone stairs just now, otherwise his whereabouts would have been exposed.
"Open the door!" The priest ordered the two guards, who apparently had some rights in the church of St. Nicholas, and without pause, the two guards turned and unleashed the chain that encircled the handle of the room.
When the room was pulled open from the outside, and the candlelight from inside illuminated the upper floors of the tower, the priest went to the door of the room but did not enter, but only looked outside the door for a moment, and ordered the guard to close the door again and lock the chains.
"Mary, is that you? Let me out, please! Martha's voice suddenly sounded, and Murong Tao, who was lying on the outer wall waiting for an opportunity, almost didn't grasp it, but fortunately, the material of this night suit was special, as long as he leaned against the outer wall, it was like a sticker firmly pulling those rough boulders.
"Martha, it's me!" Sister Mary stepped forward and said, "Are you still thinking about those worldly things?" You must know that I tried everything to convince so many adults for you to make you a saint, do you know how much I have paid for you? ”
"Shut up!" Martha suddenly roared, "Mary, I didn't expect you to be such a despicable and shameless person! In vain, I grew up with you since childhood, like sisters, and you are plotting against me behind your back! I never said I wanted to be a saint! I have people who love me and the people I love in my heart, and I don't want to be alone here for the rest of my life! But why do you insist on doing this? ”
"Someone you love? That little white face with black eyes and yellow skin? No, Martha, I disagree! Sister Mary roared like a wild cat that had been stepped on by its tail, "Do you remember when we were sisters when we were children, and do you know how much I love you?" You actually want to waste our relationship for so many years for a little white face who doesn't know anything? You should become a saint so that we can be together forever! ”
