"My lord, I have been derelict in my duty. Alveret fell to his knees in shame and said, "My lord, please appoint me to investigate this matter, and I will definitely get the little girl back." ”

The priest Evelyn on the side also knelt down and said reproachfully: "I didn't expect that little girl to be your guest, and I can't protect it, so please punish me, Lord Bishop." ”

"This matter is not that simple," Luo Lan waved his hand lightly, motioned for the two of them to stand up, and said, "The battle in front of the temple has alarmed His Majesty the Pope, and His Majesty believes that this matter will damage the face of the Holy See, so he has sent the Templar Knights to investigate this matter thoroughly." ”

"My lord, please save my sister," the young man couldn't help but be anxious when he heard that the adult seemed to mean not to ask, and the young man's face was full of anxiety and worry, and he knelt down with a "poof" and cried, "I am willing to do anything for you." ”

Luo Lan quietly watched the young man crying and shouting, but he didn't make a sound, Alfrete hurriedly pulled the young man's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Adults have their own opinions, don't lose etiquette." ”

The young man was shocked, he hurriedly stopped crying, although he had not spent much time in the temple, he already had a vague feeling that this bishop seemed to be a person with a certain amount of power, and he was hesitating whether to tell about Miranda's apprenticeship, but Luo Lan slowly spoke: "Dao:" Although the Pope has sent men, he has not strictly stated that the rest of the people must not interfere in this matter, so I am going to investigate in secret, and since it is from a friend's request, this little girl has something to do with me, and I will not sit idly by. ”

The boy said gratefully, "Thank you, sir." ”

Luo Lan nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Alfred Paladin, Evelyn Priest." ”

"Yes!" the two men looked stunned.

"Those men in black have the will to die. Then there is no point in investigating, you don't need to go into this blind spot again, but start from somewhere else. ”

"Elsewhere?" Alfred and Evelyn looked at each other, looking a little confused.

"The black wind hawk. Luo Lan nodded at the table, and he prompted: "This kind of demonic beast rarely appears around, so it will definitely attract the attention of some people, you investigate the approximate time of its appearance, and then check which forces have entered the city during this time." Should be able to find some useful clues. ”

Alfred's expression moved, and he nodded: "I understand, that person is not weak, and he will not be an unknown person. And he is tall and large, which is also a very recognizable characteristic......" He bowed his head and said, "My lord, I know what to do." ”

Luo Lan smiled and said, "Okay, you guys stand down, you can report to me at any time when you have the results." ”

Not long after the two of them and the young man left, a middle-aged man in a priest's robe walked in under the leadership of the attendant, and after the attendant stepped back, he first looked at Luo Lan, and then took off his hood. He saluted: "Mehamus meets the Bishop." ”

Luo Lan glanced at the person opposite him slightly, the other party's eyes were unusually focused, and his face revealed a shrewd and capable aura, and he said in a deep voice: "Well, you are the person in charge of the Doomsday Guild in the church area?"

"Yes. The middle-aged man bowed his head and said, "This place of the Holy See is too special, you know, Master Mersendor has entrusted me with any important matters."

"Well, then I think you already know the purpose of summoning you today. ”

"It's the ground. My lord. The middle-aged man slowly raised his head and said, "We have already investigated the background of that little girl, her parents are just ordinary mercenaries, and after being accidentally killed in a mission, the brother and sister grew up in the mercenary group. There is no special energy. Nor does it show anything special on the surface. They don't have any value. ”

Luo Lan said with interest: "Listening to your tone, it seems that you have a deeper discovery?"

The middle-aged man was obviously cautious in every word. He cautiously said, "There are some, but this is only Lord Mersendore's speculation, and we don't have any evidence to prove it, so we don't dare to make a conclusion." ”

Luo Lan bowed his head slightly and said, "It's okay, you say it and listen to it." ”

The middle-aged man bent down and said respectfully, "The clue is that the man in black, when confronting the priest Evelyn, he used to cast a special attack, well, he himself called the roar of the earth. ”

"The earth roars?"

"Yes, perhaps many people on the Apollo continent have forgotten this name these days, but according to Vice President Mersendore, the Black Elves have recorded in the texts that this should be the natural skill of Agassanto, one of the followers of the Seven Magi of the Heroic Age. ”

Luo Lan's eyes flashed with an imperceptible light, and he whispered to himself, "Talent Divine Skill?"

The middle-aged man thought that Luo Lan didn't know what was going on, so he explained: " That is the ability that only some people with the bloodline of the gods can have in the heroic era, although there are also some descendants of such people on the continent today, but with the thinning of the bloodline, the innate ability is far inferior to that era, but despite this, some people's abilities cannot be underestimated, such as this raider with a mask, he himself has superb martial arts, coupled with this mysterious and unpredictable natural skill, it is no longer possible to measure the strength of this person in an ordinary way. ”

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man lowered his voice slightly and said, "But it's very strange that the little girl was not affected by this talent in the process of being robbed, and the raider didn't seem to be surprised, as if this was expected, so I preliminarily judged that this must have something to do with her being kidnapped, perhaps, this secret is the key." ”

Luo Lan glanced at the middle-aged man and nodded: "It seems that you already have some kind of inference, so what do you think is the reason for this?"

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then he boldly stepped forward and said a few words in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

The light in Luo Lan's eyes flickered, and after a while, he smiled slightly and said, "Okay." Very well, Mehamus, is it, and if this is as you expect, I think you should move up the floor. ”

The middle-aged man knelt down in surprise and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

Luo Lan waved his hand, and after the person stepped back in amusement, he stood up and looked at the sky outside the window. Smiled deeply, sure enough, is it going to start?

The rock-made morgue was filled with a foul smell, stains of blood and flies. All sorts of liquids that I don't know what they were mixed together, making the bodies of these men in black look like a mess.

Originally, the corpses were intact, but when the road was bumpy, there were those strange drips of fluid from the cracked skull, which made the priest in charge of carrying the corpses feel sick to his stomach, and when he was about to purify the filth when the Pope sent an investigator down, he received a strange order, the original words of the letter were "try to keep these corpses as original as possible, and no purification shall be applied".

When I think of the words original, there seems to be something else in it. The priest felt even more uncomfortable in his chest, and couldn't help but take another look at the white liquid next to the corpse's head, and finally spit out with a "wow".

The priest waited in disgust and torment, and by late evening the two Templars in charge of the investigation had arrived.

They looked a little different from the average Templar, not only were they cloaked in cloaks, but both of them had gray hair, judging by the hair peeking out of their hoods.

The two men walked into the sweltering and narrow stone house, and one of the tall knights waved his hand. The priest finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly withdrew, but as he walked out of the morgue he heard an order that he almost suspected had been misheard:

"Close the door!"

The priest shook his head, hesitated to reach out his hand, and then slowly closed it. After the door "slammed" shut. The priest found himself sweating profusely and cursed secretly. After making another cross on his chest, he moved quickly and left the place.

The stone chamber was darkened, except for the faint glow of the two oil lamps.

The two men looked at the corpse silently. One of the Templars, who was relatively short in stature, stretched out his hand, turned a corpse over, and then tore his clothes open, revealing a clear dragon lance emblem on his pale skin.

The tall knight said coldly, "Can you see who it is?"

"The emblem of the League of Knights. ”

"Knights' Alliance?" the tall knight sneered and said, "Who would believe it?"

"Although it has been processed, the time for the emblem on his body to be carved will not exceed two months at most," the dwarf knight said as he fumbled: "I heard that one of them finally said a greeting from the Knight Alliance, and that sentence is even more afraid that we don't know his identity, only a fool would believe that this is the dry land of the Knight Alliance." ”

The tall knight sneered: "But this investigation is enough as long as there is this evidence on the surface, this is what His Majesty the Pope needs, as for the secret investigation, we can proceed slowly." ”

The dwarf knight said strangely: "I know that the Knights Alliance is not the mastermind, and we need to continue to investigate, but why does His Majesty the Pope only need these things?"

The tall knight smiled gloomily and said, "That's the wisdom of the Pope, since there is an excuse to put pressure on the knights' alliance, why don't we use it?"

"Drag them into the water?" the little knight wondered, "You mean, the Pope is deliberately playing dumb?"

The tall knight said in a low voice: "You must understand that many things, it is not that the superior cannot judge the real reason, nor that they cannot see the truth, but they choose to believe, and whoever makes such a choice, from this point of view, must be because the benefits obtained by this choice are greater and the benefits are more, it is not that they are stupid and cannot see that we can also see the earth. ”

The little knight shook his head and said, "I don't see any good......"

The tall knight snorted coldly and said, "If it's so easy to see through, you will be the Pope," Speaking of this, he lowered his voice and said: "But I heard that although this matter seems to be a loss of face for our Holy See, it is a chance for us to use the topic to play, because it can also involve the Black Widow, so there is also a shadow of the mage society, and when we accuse the Knight Alliance, they will definitely wonder if this is the mage will make a ghost behind the scenes." ”

The tall knight smiled gloomily and said, "The vacant seat of the chief monk really involves the hearts of too many people, so this opportunity is simply the dream of the Pope. ”

The short knight seemed to be a little stunned, shook his head, and scratched his head again, he didn't expect the reason for this to be so complicated, he looked at the tall knight with some admiration, and sighed: "These things don't seem to be something I can think of, I get dizzy when I think of the complex changes between these schemes...... Or is this the right thing for me......"

As soon as he stretched out his hand, his fingers inserted into the head of the corpse of the man in black, stirred it in it, and then felt it carefully, there seemed to be a strange light flashing in his eyes, and he smiled and said, "I probably know where these people came from." ”
