Volume 13 Seals! A sigh from the Abyssal Gate! CHAPTER XXVII
Vysaka Station of the Taxi Alliance.
There were no rich cities, no rare mineral deposits, and no lakes around this remote station, and when the glare of sunlight was obscured by the sheer figure of the mountains, it was boring for a small group of the station to pass.
However, this day is not destined to be peaceful.
The two guards at the gate of the station were lazily leaning against the gate of the station, but one of them seemed to notice something unusual and opened his eyes in surprise.
Because he saw a knight covered in blood rushing towards them, the two guards glanced at each other, immediately threw away the spear in their hands, and jumped away from both sides in embarrassment, because this knight was wrapped in a dazzling white fighting aura, and the momentum was extremely fierce, and if they collided with a low-level guard like them, they would be smashed and smashed,
The knight didn't seem to see the gate in front of him, his eyes were fixed on the front, and the gate was smashed to pieces with a "boom", and the knight rushed into the hall in a cloud of sawdust, and then fell headlong on the cold marble floor.
"Is it the Lasvico Knight?" The Knight Captain standing in the hall was talking to his subordinates in a whisper, and was suddenly startled by this sudden happening, but he recognized the identity of the knight, hurriedly ran a few steps, helped him up, and said, "Lasvico Knight, wake up, what's going on?"
The knight, who was unusually weak, with chapped lips and torn openings all over his body, panted and said, "Our garrison is under siege by the Council of the Dead......"
"Council of the Dead, how is that possible?" the knight captain looked incredulous, he knew that the other party's station was not very far from here, and it was also a land of no value, and it didn't make any sense to be stationed here except to prove that it was under the control of the Knight Alliance.
"Listen to me," the Lavico knight grabbed the knight captain's arm and pulled a parchment roll from his bosom, "This is the news our spy got ......"
On a high slope not far away, two men in golden masks watched the Lavico knights run into the station, and one of the white-haired men let out a smug laugh and said, "Alright, our mission is complete." ”
Another tall, shrill voice asked, puzzled, "Mr. Norao." Our previous actions had been concealed from the Monks. They even deliberately chose the timing of the attack on the Raging Thunder Cliff at the critical moment when their chief monk re-selected the place. Now why don't you deliberately leak the news?"
The white-haired man snorted. "Hmph." The Council of the Dead is working with us for the time being. But you have to know. They would never really help us. We are nothing more than a combination of interests. Maybe they're planning to cross the river and tear down the bridge. We're going to be very passive. Now all the envelopes and arrangements are ready. Of course, it can't be so easy for them. Let the monks also wade into this troubled waters. At the same time as the strength of the Council of the Dead. It can also make our alliance stronger. We'll be more free to attack and retreat. ”
The tall man suddenly realized. Nodding his head, he said, "This is also the plan designated by the elder." Sure enough, it's very clever. ”
The white-haired man chuckled. "Okay." The show is about to begin. Let's go. ”
After they left for a while. Several fast horses galloped out of the station. Gallop towards the important liaison points of the Knight Alliance.
Due to the fact that the place is too remote. Two days later. The closest point of contact was to get the message. Then he rushed to the secret teleportation array as fast as he could. Only then did the news be delivered to the headquarters of the Knight Alliance in time. But three days have passed.
The high-level leaders of the Knight Alliance were also shocked after receiving this news, they first doubted the authenticity of this news, because this matter was no longer something that the Knight Alliance could fight alone, but now they had no time to confirm it, in order to ensure the interests of the Alliance, they decided to immediately send a secret envoy to the Holy See and the Mage Council.
Illuminated Holy See Liaison Stronghold.
An apprentice was sitting in front of the teleportation circle rummaging through a thick parchment, but the dazzling light shone at this moment, a thin knight stepped out of the teleportation array, he took out his hand and shook the badge in his hand, and said breathlessly: "I am the secret envoy of the Knights' Alliance, quick, I have an urgent letter to present to His Majesty the Pope." ”
The apprentice was dumbfounded, he had never had any experience in dealing with such things, urgent, pope, envoy, this series of words shook his mind, he suddenly came to his senses after standing for a moment, and hurried to the priest in charge of the matter with the envoy.
"Knights?" The priest seemed to be urgent when he heard this, he glanced at his apprentice and said, "Has the identity of this secret envoy been confirmed?"
The apprentice didn't see the badge clearly just now, but he thought it was not wrong, and said stubbornly: "That's right. ”
A strange light flashed in the priest's eyes, and after thinking about it, he said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty the Pope."
Preparing for the Grace Day ceremony doesn't seem like a good time to meet you. ”
The envoy was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said: "I heard that Lord Lantiston, the chief monk, is also in the city of religion, if it is inconvenient for the Pope, then can the letter also be forwarded......
The priest raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "Although Lord Landiston is the chief monk of the Monks' Society, he also needs to obey the orders of His Majesty the Pope, knight, please distinguish this point." ”
The secret envoy was stunned, and he said profusely: "Yes, yes, yes, but, look at this, this is indeed ......."
"Okay, don't say any more, I'll deal with this matter as soon as possible, and now it's so late, I can't alarm you adults because of an inexplicable piece of information, you, take Mr. Messenger out to rest first." The priest pointed to the apprentice and then to the envoy, and there was an irrefutable tone in his tone.
The envoy had no choice but to bow and prepare to withdraw, but the priest asked as if casually: "By the way, who else did you send the letter to?
The envoy hesitated, shook his head, and said, "This is not what I know, but according to the practice of respecting the Monks' Council, we will not skip His Majesty the Pope for such a major event." ”
The priest said to himself, "Then I'll be relieved." ”
Just as the envoy turned around and was about to go out, the priest suddenly took a step forward with extremely flexible speed, covered the envoy's mouth with one hand, and suddenly took out a dagger with the other hand and stabbed it at the back of the envoy.
The secret envoy obviously didn't expect this priest to sneak attack him, plus he was restless, he didn't take any precautions, and his body struggled desperately, but the strength of this priest was surprisingly great, not like a weak priest at all, gradually, the secret envoy's eyes turned up, and he stopped moving after a few convulsions.
The apprentice next to him turned pale with fright, completely unaware of what was going on.
"This is a spy of the Council of the Dead," the priest pretended to search the envoy's body, then took out a badge and said, "Look! ”
In his outstretched palm was a skull chain sword medallion, which was actually the emblem of the Council of the Dead.
The apprentice was stunned, he really didn't see what the knight was holding in his hand, the first time he didn't pay attention, the second time was from the wrong angle, although he felt something wrong for a while, but he didn't know what to say, he just felt that his mind was blank.
"Alright, go dig a pit in the back and bury this man. The priest waved his hand and said lightly.
"But my lord, since this man is a spy, should we tell him," the apprentice asked cautiously, after glancing at the officer,
The priest said as usual: "It is indeed the case, but now His Majesty the Pope has a lot of affairs, and it is inevitable that there will be spies of the Council of the Dead in the Holy See, if the news is leaked in advance, it will be extremely disadvantageous to us, you know." ”
"Oh, yes, yes. The apprentice nodded busily.
The priest glanced at the apprentice with a smile, pointed to the ground, and said, "Then go and bury him." ”
The apprentice carried the body of the envoy to the back of the house with great trepidation, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, but for a moment he could not tell what the problem was, and while he was thinking wildly, he suddenly tightened his wrist, and then the man on the ground, who was supposed to be dead, dragged him over, and he was startled.
"Listen to me," the envoy gasped, first letting go of his hand, and then intermittently speaking, "I'm not a spy, the ...... That priest is, if you bury me, he, he will definitely kill you afterwards, and then put the blame for killing me on you, and then, when the time comes, you will be a spy of the Council of the Dead. ”
The apprentice was suddenly shocked, and thinking of the strange expression of the priest at the end, he immediately believed a little in his heart, and said in a trembling voice: "You, you let go of your hand first." ”
The envoy's hand was loosened, but at the same time the light in his eyes was fading, and it was clear that life was about to leave.
The apprentice thought for a moment, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, whispered a few incantations, and solemnly applied a healing spell, a thin light flashed from the body of the secret envoy, although the apprentice's magic was not very effective, but it pulled the latter back from the moment of near-death in time.
"Thanks, thanks. The envoy spat out a mouthful of blood, and his spirit seemed to improve.
"What the hell are you trying to say, what's important?" the apprentice looked around nervously, afraid that the priest would be around at any moment.
The envoy shuddered from his bosom and took out a parchment letter from his bosom and said, "Give this to the Friar Lantiston......"
